Chapter 929

(PS: Sorry for the late update!!)

Before leaving, Zi Luolan had to give advice from Ouyang Shuo face-to-face, knowing that Daxia did not want to start a dispute with the Mediterranean countries, and her aggressiveness at the negotiating table was just a gesture.

Since the lord of the Mediterranean invited Queen Kalia, Violet naturally stopped, not only achieving the goal of the negotiation, but also returning a favor to Queen Kalia.

Based on this point, I think the Mediterranean lords will pay more attention to Queen Kalia in the future.

Violet let go, the trade negotiations between the two sides have made a breakthrough immediately, and the detailed rules will be finalized soon. Unexpectedly, just when the two parties were about to sign a contract, the Daxia negotiating team suddenly received an urgent letter.

The urgent message brought the king's decree, and the content was very concise, "Caesar City is not within the scope of this negotiation. All ports of the Great Xia Dynasty are not open to Caesar City caravans."

After Violet looked at it, she rubbed her forehead, "This condition is really... so satisfying!"

During the negotiation process, the one who picks the most, speaks the most sly, and holds the most hostility towards Daxia is the self-righteous Caesar, who annoys Violet very much.

If there is one of the most hated Mediterranean lords, it must be Caesar.

During the Somali National War, as soon as Bactria suffered a setback, Caesar publicly declared, "Big Xia's militarism has caused turmoil to the Mediterranean and its surrounding areas, and today's defeat is retribution."

Well now, the Somali National War ended with Daxia's complete victory. It was not Daxia who was really retribution, but Caesar. It's really bad retribution.

"See how you make a fool of yourself tomorrow." Violet grinned, feeling happy.

…………

Atlantis City, conference room.

This morning, negotiators from both sides gathered to prepare to sign the final trade agreement.

The main members of the Daxia delegation were all present, and the Mediterranean side sent a group of heavyweight lords such as Henry, Casillas, and Caesar.

Henry is more representative of the Mediterranean.

Difficult negotiations finally ushered in the final signing. The members of both parties were in a good mood. Even Caesar put away his usual stinky face and chatted and laughed with other Mediterranean lords.

There is no doubt that the signing of the trade agreement will benefit all territories in the Mediterranean, and Caesar City is no exception. With money, Caesar can realize his ambition.

The previous aggressiveness in the negotiation process was just that Caesar wanted more and was more greedy than Henry and others.

After all, Caesar was not a fool.

Caesar's hostility towards the Great Xia Dynasty and his prejudice towards Ouyang Shuo were nothing but racial prejudice in his bones. Caesar, who claimed to be a descendant of the ancient Roman Empire, could not see the yellow race dominating.

As a witness of both parties, Kalia presided over the signing ceremony.

The atmosphere at the scene was quite harmonious at the beginning, until after introducing the representatives of both parties, Violet followed suit and said with a smile: "Before the official signing of the agreement, I will announce something on behalf of Daxia."

"Speaking!"

Kalia was a little surprised, this was not part of the process.

Henry and the others on the opposite side also trembled in their hearts, "Could it be that Daxia is going to repent?!" With the destruction of Somalia, Daxia has taken the absolute lead in this negotiation, and there is no room for Henry and the others not to worry.

Caesar jumped out, frowned and said, "To be a man, you have to be trustworthy."

Violet glanced at Caesar with a half-smile, and said, "Accept my king's order, this time Daxia will sign commercial agreements with all the territories in the Mediterranean, excluding Caesar City."

"What did you say?" As soon as Violet finished speaking, Caesar exploded immediately, his eyes were sharp, as if he was about to eat people, this turn of events really caught Caesar by surprise.

Violet's expression remained unchanged, and said: "The Great Xia caravan will not stay at the port of Caesar City. Similarly, all ports in Great Xia are not open to Caesar City caravans. What I mean, is it clear enough?"

"You deceive people too much!" Caesar was furious.

Violet said: "In view of some extremely unfriendly remarks made by Lord Caesar recently towards Daxia, Daxia doesn't think it is necessary to continue to cooperate with Caesar City."

"..."

Caesar's expression froze, his face flushed, and he was choked and speechless.

The other Mediterranean lords were also baffled by Daxia's sudden action. After hearing Violet's explanation, they suddenly realized that the root cause was here.

Everyone here is aware of Caesar's public remarks against Da Xia not long ago.

Even in his wildest dreams, Caesar would never have imagined that he would lose huge profits for the sake of a moment of enjoyment. Basically, without Daxia's cooperation, the caravans in Caesar City would not be able to reach the east at all.

This would be a devastating blow to the ocean trade of Caesar City.

Among the lords present, some feel sorry for Caesar City, and some also gloat. For example, Henry and others, seeing Caesar deflated, don't mention how happy they are.

At the same time, they were a little shocked by Daxia's Thunderbolt method. From this point of view, Daxia is by no means the kind of character who doesn't fight back when he is bullied, holding grudges.

Ouyang Shuo's move also had the meaning of killing chickens and monkeys.

After all, Caesar is a hero, calmed down quickly, and said sinisterly: "Since Daxia is unwilling to cooperate with Caesar City, is it necessary to sign this agreement?! You are blatantly provoking the Mediterranean Sea and treating us lords like monkeys." Just kidding." Caesar was trying to drag the entire Mediterranean lord into the water.

Too bad Violet wasn't fooled.

"Caesar City is Caesar City, and it does not represent the entire Mediterranean Sea." Violet gave Caesar a playful look, "Big Xia has always been sincere in cooperating with the Mediterranean Sea. And everyone here must have felt this sincerity. Have an advantage and never want to be aggressive.”

Reminiscent of Daxia's concession, the Mediterranean lord nodded unconsciously.

Only Caesar's face became more and more gloomy.

Violet continued: "But the premise of cooperation is mutual trust. Presumably no one is willing to cooperate with the enemy. Since Lord Caesar publicly opposed Da Xia before, he obviously has no intention of cooperating with Da Xia, right?"

"..."

Caesar was squeezed by Violet, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

In terms of venomous tongue, no one here can compare to the little elf Violet, with a charming look in her eyes, but the words she speaks are enough to make people vomit three liters of blood.

Caesar said coldly: "If that's the case, then the Daxia caravan should not even try to pass through the Mediterranean Sea."

Judging from the situation, Caesar is going to kill the fish and break the net. The Italian region where Caesar City is located is located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. If the Roman fleet under Caesar's command harassed the Great Xia merchant ships, the impact would indeed be great.

Violet, however, was confident, she turned her head to look at Henry and the others, and said, "The prerequisite for Daxia to sign a trade agreement with the Mediterranean Sea is that you must ensure the safety of Daxia's merchant ships sailing in the Mediterranean Sea. I don't think everyone here is willing to The selfish behavior of the territory, and influence the situation of the entire Mediterranean Sea?"

Henry was silent.

What Violet said actually involved a more sensitive topic. That is, after the Great Xia's Atlantic Fleet withdrew from the Mediterranean Sea and gave up its dominance, who would control the sea control of the Mediterranean Sea.

Among them, the most competitive ones are Henry's Gaul Fleet, Caesar's Roman Fleet, and Casilla's Spanish Armada.

Among the three major fleets, the Roman fleet was established the latest, and compared with Spain and France, Italy is not a maritime hegemon in the traditional sense, so its strength is the weakest.

The Gaul Fleet and the Spanish Armada were originally evenly matched, but in the Morocco World War I, the Spanish Armada participated in the battle with confidence, but was crippled by a thunderstorm from Daxia.

After the war, the Spanish Armada, which lost nearly half of its warships, suddenly became the weakest of the three major fleets, not even comparable to the Roman fleet, and felt sad.

Henry's Gallic fleet "sit back and enjoy the benefits" and immediately became the strongest fleet in the Mediterranean. It has to be said that Henry is the most "cunning" among the lords in the Mediterranean.

No wonder some people say that Henry is a fox that doesn't bark.

Henry couldn't understand the meaning of Violet's words. If Henry and other Mediterranean lords acquiesced to the Roman fleet's harassment of the Bactrian caravan, it would not only affect the commercial exchanges between Bactria and the Mediterranean territories, but also damage the dominance of the Gaul fleet in the Mediterranean.

Either one was unacceptable to Henry.

It is about the command of the sea in the Mediterranean Sea, and no one can back down half a step. More importantly, the clever Henry keenly grasped a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity from Violet's words.

Regardless of the fact that the lords of the Mediterranean Sea share the same hatred and are united with the outside world, they actually have their own plans. The business negotiations were full of twists and turns, and various opinions and factions were entangled.

One thing is clear.

That is, the lords who are doing it are absolutely unwilling to break up with Daxia because Caesar City offended the Daxia Dynasty, so they boarded the boat and broke up with Daxia collectively.

Negotiations between territories are not just a show, what is involved is real business interests. If not, how could they have bothered to negotiate with the Great Xia negotiating team so far.

No one is a living Lei Feng.

Violet's words can be seen as sowing discord, or as an opportunity, an opportunity to isolate Caesar City with other territories in the Mediterranean, using interests as a link and signing a business agreement as an opportunity.

To put it bluntly, if Caesar really wanted to arrange for the Roman fleet to harass the merchant ships of Daxia as he said, it would completely destroy the business foundation of Daxia and the Mediterranean, and ruin the jobs of other Mediterranean territories.

For this, no one will accept horror.

The Mediterranean lords present here are all smart people, and they soon came to their senses, looking at Caesar rather unkindly.

When Caesar saw this, his heart trembled, and he had a bad premonition.

Henry cast a veiled glance at a lord who was his secret ally.

Upon receiving the signal, the lord stood up immediately and said, "Caesar, you cannot represent the Mediterranean Sea, let alone spoil the interests of the entire Mediterranean Sea just because of your own interests. That would be too selfish."

"What are you talking about, I'm selfish?" Caesar was impatient.

"It's not selfish to harm others and not benefit yourself."

"I...I, I..." Caesar was too angry to speak, and said angrily, "You traitors!"
