Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 130: Secret Diplomacy

One week has passed since the meeting with Merlin.

Peace negotiations have not yet been finalized.

The Kingdom of Rosel does not want to pay large sums.

If you pay, you've acknowledged the great defeat.

That means the fall of national authority.

As the Kingdom of Roselle, I've lost a little ... I just want to finish.

Adernia, on the other hand, wants to pay a fortune.

The kingdom of Demorgar suffered considerable damage from the invasion of the Roselle kingdom. I want to make up for this.

The kings of Gilbed and King Faldham have not suffered damage, but they have not gained much territory.

King Gilbed and King Faldham have not been able to secure the land to be paid for the Contribution Award.

In that case, the missing land must be compensated with compensation or cut out from the royal territory.

Both the kings of Domorgar and the king of Gilbed are nations with strong royal powers.

I do not want to cut down royal land.

Then, there is only compensation.

And the kingdom of Rossais is ...

He is in an ambiguous position.

If you talk about peace too much, you can see your feet.

That doesn't mean I want to fight.

So I didn't say much at the time of negotiations, leaving it to King Gilbed and King Demorgar.

Now……

Prosperous diplomacy should be good.

In any case, there is no solution.

Let's talk about secret diplomacy.

"Raymond. What's the diplomat doing?"

"I seem to be satisfied. I especially liked that pudding."

"The pudding ... it was my only confectionery that I knew how to make it, but ... it fits the tongue of the Gauls. Let's make about ten more souvenirs."

"Diplomat" is Merlin's subordinate.

He was sent from the capital of the Kingdom of Roselle to communicate the intention of King Roselle.

But the rank was higher for Merlin, who was treated like a Merlin subordinate.

Well, he's a subordinate, but he didn't seem to consider himself a Merlin subordinate.

Humiliation that works like limbs under the appearance of a woman younger than her, just because she is older.

The pride that he received a direct edict from King Roselle.

And he is dissatisfied with Merlin's failure to make peace.

In short, the diplomat had a negative feeling for Merlin.

So I called out from here.

Through this diplomat, he jumps over Merlin and trades with King Roselle.

That is Plan B.

Originally Plan A was a successful or suspicious operation.

Merlin is afraid of our country.

Therefore, we cannot afford to pay a large amount of compensation to our country.

However, Japan wants a large amount of compensation.

So I was dissatisfied with Merlin's policy .... Specifically, I came up with a deal with King Roselle through a person who looked down on Japan.

So before the negotiations with Merlin, I was looking for someone who looked good ...

No way, I didn't think I could find a person who matched the conditions so far.

I explained earlier that diplomats were very dissatisfied with Merlin.

In addition, diplomats seem to have a strong desire for success.

He wants to be greater than Merlin in the future, and he wants to do something for that ...

In addition, he likes alcohol, women, gastronomy, and jewelry.

And one of the thousand generals captured was a distant relative of a diplomat.

Well, isn't this a coincidence?

As there is no examination system, human resources must be hired for kinship or kinship. So it's not strange that the great people of the country are relatives.

When I talked to such a diplomat, she came.

You probably thought it was a chance to beat Merlin.

I bowed, lowered my hips and responded.

Then I was overjoyed.

You probably knew that Merlin was yelling at me and the negotiations had been aborted.

Such a grumpy King Rossais is giving thanks to himself! !

Well, no wonder.

I thought that it was not enough, so I gave them a drink from Japan's special distilled spirits, prepared a cute girl to entertain, and prepared the best gastronomy available on the battlefield.

"The rest is just a decoration. When will it arrive?"

"I think it will come tomorrow."

A small jewel in a treasure house in Japan will be given as a gift at the end.

This grabs the diplomat's heart

"But do you need to be so polite?"

"Well, I don't need this for this time .... but it could be a long relationship in the future."

There is such a measure in the Chinese law book.

If you are a competent messenger, turn back without giving anything; if you are an incompetent messenger, give thanks and welcome.

Then the competent will be kept away from the king, and the incompetent will be re-used.

I would be pleased if the diplomat's achievements were recognized by King Roselle and I became a diplomat in charge of our country.

"Can we negotiate tomorrow? Release the distant relatives of the diplomat before the negotiations and give them the jewelry. Give them the souvenir pudding after the negotiations.

"Yes, I understand"

"No, thank you for everything. King Rossais."

"No, don't worry. It's natural to treat someone like you with gratitude."

I treat diplomats with care.

And praise it.

"I think it's strange that someone like you is under Merlin."

"I'm exaggerated. I'm not that human .... Well, I think that woman's status is strange."

The diplomat began to grumble Merlin with a mood.

I'll hammer at it.

Anyone who knows or taps into the stomach will hit the stomach.

Well, there is no reason to give advice.

After the talk, the main task begins immediately.

"Actually ... I regret it."

"Regret ...?"

"It's a war with the Roselle Kingdom."

Is a lie.

"I knew the national power of the Roselle kingdom well in this war. I happened to win (...) this time, but ... I won't win next. I want to conclude peace now."

This is not a lie.

I would be a lie if I say it.

In fact, Japan will definitely lose in the long run.

"Huh ... I'm bearish for King Almus, who throneed in less than two generations and turned the kingdom of Rosais into a great power"

"It's an overestimation. It just happened. I happened to be king. I'm not up against King Roselle, the natural king."

Somehow, King Roselle is raised.

Please tell me well.

"So why not accept this condition?"

"But ... too much ransom ..."

When I presented the conditions I had presented to Merlin again, the diplomats showed reluctance.

"Our royal family does not recognize me. I am short of power. If I do not accept this condition, peace cannot be achieved. Do you want to raise the Roselle Kingdom as soon as possible? , Only Japan has the reliable information that a rebellion has taken place.

Other Adernia countries do not have the thick pipe to the Christians like ours.

And I said, "Maybe there's a turbulence in the northeast," but I don't say "it's happening."

…… Conversely, it means that you can always tell.

It is a threat of long circuit.

"We want to build friendly relations with the Kingdom of Roselle. Think about it. Our country has never been in conflict with the Kingdom of Roselle. This war is an unfortunate crossroads. Territory is not taken away. Once peace is established, we can return to a friendly nation. "

I emphasize.

"Peace, friendship, anti-war"

That's a good word.

Gauls and Adernians are the same people. Brothers.

It seems stupid to fight.

Love peace, value friendship, oppose war! !

Come on, let's tie!

"But what does the Alliance with Galia mean? I don't think we can have a friendly relationship with Japan as long as it is there ..."

"It's an anti-Galia alliance. It's not an anti-Roselle alliance. It's a defense treaty with the idea of defending it. not"

"..."

"If there is a friendship between our country and the Kingdom of the Roselle, let us try to avoid war as much as possible. Will hold it with all my might. ''

Well, if there is a country that actually says such a stupid thing, I will stop without friendship.

If you fight properly, you can't beat the Roselle Kingdom.

By saying this, you can make the Kingdom of Roselle think, "The kingdom of Rossais is potentially an ally of the Roselle Kingdom."

Of course, the Adernians are reminded that "The king of Rhosais is a barrier to the kingdom of Roselle."

This is Happo beauty diplomacy!

Well, it's scary when you think about it, but it's okay if you create a situation that's too late.

"... I understand King Almus's intentions. I'll tell King Rosell somehow."

"Thank you. I want to make friends with you in the future."

I shook hands firmly with the diplomats.

The diplomat who got the pudding as a souvenir went home with a nervous face.

Two days later, a letter from a diplomat was sent to King Roselle by falcon flight.

Rosais King is an insignificant accessory

Awe of King Roselle

We want to build friendly relations with the Kingdom of Roselle

-If successful, it can be a poison for impact on the Gaul Alliance

King Roselle, who had begun to distrust Merlin, swallowed a letter from a diplomat.

Two days later, a royal decree arrived, ordering Merlin to sign a secret treaty.
