Chapter 1139 Such a declaration of war(1/2)

Swiss Cabinet Minister Fang Du looked at the aggressive Song Prime Minister Jin Kuohai.

He really wanted to overturn the table he had lived in and walk away.

But as a cabinet minister of Rui State, and representing King Rui as an envoy to Song State, he could not act so rudely.

The current situation in Switzerland does not allow Fang Du to do this.

Fang Du could only hold back his anger and return to the negotiating table.

He looked at Song Prime Minister Jin Kuohai with sincere eyes.

"Prime Minister Jin, by doing this in Song Dynasty, are you going too far to deceive others?

We in Sweden also have the dignity of a great power and would rather fight on two fronts than do this."

Fang Du just thought about it, but he couldn't accept the conditions proposed by Song Guo.

If Switzerland does this, it will be a big injustice.

Rui Guo's efforts during this period were all used to make wedding clothes for Song Guo.

Even if the Song State becomes an ally of the Rui State, the Rui State cannot do this.

This is not an act of an ally, but a vassal state showing its loyalty to the suzerain state.

Rui has only one suzerainty and cannot accept a second suzerainty.

Jin Kuohai, Prime Minister of Song Dynasty, looked at Fang Du, the envoy of Rui Kingdom, looking a little angry.

He just looked at Fang Du calmly and did not answer his question.

Of course Jin Kuohai knew that Rui Guo would never agree to these conditions.

He is proposing these conditions now to exert maximum pressure and find a bottom line that Switzerland can accept.

Only by doing this can the Song Dynasty obtain the greatest benefits.

The Rui State would not be grateful to the Song State, but instead would be somewhat resentful.

But the Song State did not want to form an alliance with the Rui State, and the Song State did not care what the Rui State thought.

Fang Du saw that Song Prime Minister Jin Kuohai did not respond to his words.

He snorted coldly and said: "Song State is so insincere, we, Rui State, have to find a way to solve the matter ourselves.

Even if the Chu State is the dominant family, the Song State will still be prepared to bear the consequences."

Fang Du no longer wanted to use diplomatic rhetoric. He expressed the idea that if the talks could not continue, then they would not talk.

But he still leaves a lot of room for cooperation between the two countries.

The relationship between Chu and Song has always been bad.

Fang Du didn't believe that Song could really remain indifferent to Chu's rapidly growing strength.

If the Song Dynasty could tolerate Chu's rapid expansion.

The Song Dynasty will definitely not participate in disputes on the European continent.

No matter how good his eloquence was, Fang Du could not convince the kings and ministers of Song Dynasty.

The main job of diplomacy is to arouse the interests of all parties and achieve one's own goals.

If the Song Dynasty did not pay attention to its core interests, diplomatic methods would have no effect on the Song Dynasty.

Jin Kuohai, Prime Minister of Song Dynasty, saw that Fang Du, the envoy of Rui Kingdom, was really reaching his limit.

It was impossible for him to really let Fang Du leave the table.

Song State's annexation of Shu State also required the cooperation of Rui State.

They need to know more about Switzerland in detail before they can hope to annex the country.

Jin Kuohai smiled and said: "Everything can be discussed, don't be too eager.

As the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, of course I have to fight for the interests of the Song Dynasty.

Negotiations must be drawn out to reach a consensus recognized by both parties.

I know that the situation in Switzerland is not good, and I am a little anxious now.

Then we, the Song State, will make some concessions, and we hope that the Rui State will also make concessions.

Both parties need to take a step back so that the next matter can be easily discussed."

When Fang Du heard Jin Kuohai say this, his expression turned even worse.

The Song Dynasty was also willing to negotiate, but the Song Dynasty obviously wanted to gain more benefits.

What Song State did was obviously adding insult to injury.

The current situation in the Rui State is not good. Both the Song State and the Chu State want to cut a piece of flesh from the Rui State.

Before Fang Du came to the Song Dynasty, he had already anticipated that this situation might occur in the Song Dynasty.

But the difficulty of the current situation still frightened him.

Fang Du began to go back and forth with Jin Kuohai, and the two kept pulling each other.

Fang Du strictly adheres to Rui's bottom line and will never agree to conditions he cannot agree to.

Jin Kuohai tested the bottom line of Rui State back and forth, striving to get more benefits from Song State.

After many confrontations, the two finally reached a basic consensus.

The Rui State does not need to bear the cost of the Song State sending troops, but it must share the information about the Shu State that the Rui State has learned.

The Rui Kingdom is not allowed to cross the Hongshan Ridge area and enter the hinterland of the Shu Kingdom.

When the Song army attacked Chu, the Rui army needed to launch an attack to contain the returning reinforcements from Shu.

These three main clauses, as well as some subsidiary clauses.

When Fang Du received the telegram to return from China, he signed the contract with a bitter look on his face.

After this contract is signed, Fang Du's reputation will be completely ruined.

But at least half of the Swiss frontline troops can be withdrawn.

Rui has enough strength to deal with the crisis brought by Chu.

After Fang Du signed the contract, Song agreed to send troops to Shu.

He left the Song Dynasty, a place that made him sad.

After Song Prime Minister Jin Kuohai signed the contract, he took the contract to see Song Wang Zhantie.

"Your Majesty, the Rui Kingdom has agreed to cooperate with our country in taking over the Shu Kingdom.

Now both Rui and Shu are very tired, and Shu is even more tired.

This is a good opportunity for us to intervene in the situation on the European continent."

Grand Governor Lu Tingfang always felt that things were a little too smooth, and he reminded: "Many of the terms in the contract we signed with Switzerland are extremely harsh.

This is equivalent to the fact that the war in Switzerland was fought in vain, and all the benefits were gained by our country.

Switzerland chose to sign this kind of contract with a certain degree of humiliation happily.

I always feel like there’s something fishy about this.”

Prime Minister Jin Kuohai immediately retorted: "I was discussing this contract with Fang Du, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, and both of us were exhausted physically and mentally.

Fang Du almost collapsed several times, but he couldn't act with realistic details.

The Rui Kingdom was really in crisis, and they were eager to escape from the Hongshan Ridge battlefield.

The Chu State has mobilized its troops extremely frequently in the past few days, and our old rivals are also assisting us at this time."

King Zhan Tie of the Song Dynasty made the final decision: "The current situation is such that it will be difficult for Rui to reverse the situation with its own strength.

This is an excellent opportunity for us in the Song Dynasty.

Our country has a way out, and even if this plan fails, the impact on our country will not be too serious."

Song King Zhan Tie's attitude was very clear, and the Song State began to implement the plan to annex the Shu State.



Fang Du returned to Shenglong in a low-key manner. He always thought that he had not done this well.

The loss suffered by Switzerland was really too great.

Even if Switzerland can recover, it will still lose the most important development time.

As soon as Fang Du returned to Shenglong, he was immediately summoned to the palace by King Rui.

When he saw the yellow-haired little eunuch's eyes conveying his orders, he felt that something was wrong.

He was a little worried that he should become a sinner of the country.

Will King Sule of Rui kill himself to calm the turbulent public opinion in Rui?

Fang Du entered the palace, but he did not see anything too serious.

He followed the yellow-haired little eunuch to the large study room of King Rui Sulei.

However, he found that the atmosphere here was not as bad as he thought.
