Faced with the Demacian people's stance of staying out of the matter, the envoys of the joint mission initially thought it was a posturing to seek diplomatic advantage.
However, when the envoys from New Noxus also arrived in the capital of Demacia, the envoys from the United Mission finally panicked.
Wait a minute, are the Demacians trying to be serious?
Are they really not going to care?
Ade, are you serious?
What is even more unacceptable to the envoys of the joint mission is the report in the newly established "Debon Daily" about Her Excellency Laxana's meeting with the envoys from New Noxus, and the report of her meeting with the joint mission three days ago.
, the content is almost a one-to-one replica.
Damn it. Didn't you say that the members of the "Debon Daily News" all came back from Wazuan for professional training? Why are they still openly filling the newspaper?
Although this moderate report is better than the more blood-pressure-raising headlines such as "Demacia and Noxus abandon their old feud", the problem is that the new Noxus, who is sharpening their knives, can
Accepting Demacia's verbal appeal for peace and actually remaining neutral, the United Mission cannot accept it!
Lord Laxana, please open your eyes and take a look. Those are evil Noxians. Once they annex their homeland, they will surely become ambitious again. Does Demacia want to fight another Battle of Tobitsia?
?
Unfortunately, there is no point in being anxious on this kind of issue.
After Lux issued an official statement, the person in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who conducted detailed negotiations with the mission directly took this as a principle and confirmed that Demacia would "not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries" and "call for peaceful means to resolve problems."
Tai Chi makes people sick.
What's even more terrible is that the main members of the newly established Ministry of Foreign Affairs are either clerks or intelligence teams. Even if the envoys of the joint mission are prepared to bribe, there is no way to bribe them.
Although they came to Demacia, they brought a lot of good things with them, and each of them had been given instructions by their own leader, so they could "flexibly" give up some of their personal interests to obtain actual diplomatic benefits.
But what caught them off guard was that the administrative structure of New Demacia was completely different from that of Demacia in the past. The jewelry they carried could not bypass the supervision of the inspection department, and the flexible methods of face-to-face interviews did not have these roots.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel on the side are not corrosive in the slightest.
Moreover, New Demacia does not talk about aristocratic politics at all. Although the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have extremely high positions of power, they do not have such a thing as private territory, making it difficult to carry out covert transfers of benefits...
In addition, Lux's reputation and prestige are high enough, and the Demacians don't have a good impression of Noxus... The combination of various reasons directly led to these Noxians trying their best to
Activities are destined to be a waste of time.
Interestingly, despite the fact that the envoys on the joint mission were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, on the other side, the New Noxus delegation was actually not very satisfied either.
Because compared to the joint mission, which was divided among people, the New Noxus delegation was actually more "sincere" - they came with a draft of the "Germany-Norno Non-Aggression Treaty".
Note that after the split of the Noxus Empire, Demacia and Noxus are no longer bordered at all!
Why would two countries that have no borders with each other sign a non-aggression treaty?
Therefore, the essence of this non-aggression treaty is that New Noxus has made a statement that it is willing to work with Demacia to carve up the entire continent of Valoran.
In the hands of the New Noxus Mission, there are three versions of the "Germany-Norno Non-Aggression Pact".
The first plan is for the Noxus Empire to regain its entire territory and then sign a non-aggression treaty with Demacia.
This plan is the most beneficial to Noxus, but in Darius' view, it is basically impossible - Demacians are not fools, and there is no reason to sit back and watch New Noxus regain its homeland without doing anything.
Action.
The second plan is for the Noxus Empire to regain its entire territory and recognize the status of the Demacia Empire and its actual jurisdiction over the Principality of Valoran.
From Darius's point of view, this plan is relatively feasible. With the support of Noxus, the Demacia Empire may not encounter much resistance if it wants to completely occupy the Principality of Valoran.
Even during this process, the Noxians can provide the other party with some conveniences they need.
Of course, this plan is not entirely beneficial to Demacia - the Noxians, who have rich conquest experience, know very well about occupying a new area with no public opinion, lack of legal principles, and different customs.
How difficult it would be to digest.
Once the Demacians cannot accept this temptation and choose to expand their sphere of influence eastward and take action against the Principality of Valoran, New Noxus will be able to regain its homeland without any scruples and integrate it at a faster speed.
In this way, while the Demacians are still suffering from indigestion due to the annexation of the Principality of Valoran, Noxus has completed its reconstruction. By then, as long as support is raised for the areas that have not been completely annexed by the Demacians
If the flag of resistance is raised, Demacia will inevitably fall into a dire situation.
The Ionian War taught Noxus a profound lesson. They stepped into this pit, so they very much hope that the Demacians will do the same.
And if the Demacians are not so ambitious, or see through the crisis behind the second plan, Noxus has a third plan.
In this set of plans, Noxus is willing to reorganize the legal relationship between itself and Demacia, and prepare a "ceasefire line" for itself to ensure that part of the Valoran continent is Demacia's sphere of influence.
, we will never get involved.
Even in terms of the division of spheres of influence, even the continent of Freljord in the north and the continent of Shurima in the south are negotiable.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Compared with the first two plans that contain evil intentions, the third plan is the real [non-aggression]. If the Demacians agree to this plan
, then Noxus will make corresponding strategic adjustments in the future and will not take the initiative to destroy this tacit understanding.
Moreover, according to Darius's idea, this plan actually has some benefits for Noxus - once the sphere of influence is drawn, the result will definitely be Demacia to the west and Noxus to the east.
To the east, beyond the continent of Valoran, there is the continent of Ionia and the continent of Kamavia. These places will also be divided into the sphere of influence of Noxus. Once this treaty is signed, Noxus will
People still make money!
In other words, although these three non-aggression pacts seem to be beneficial to Demacia, for Noxus, they are the difference between big profit, medium profit and small profit. As long as Demacia
If people are willing to sign a treaty, Noxus will win.
However, what the Noxians never expected was that what they thought was a perfect plan would go wrong from the very beginning, because Lux had no interest in the expansion of Noxus from the beginning.
You can expand and annex.
When Demacia is integrated and magic is industrialized, let's see how easily I can deal with you!
This means that Noxus has not yet had time to come up with its own three plans.
If Noxus came up with these three plans, Lux might not be able to help laughing on the spot.
Good guy, carving up Valoran is already outrageous.
Still want to divide the Freljord and Shurima?
You really don’t know how deep the sky is and how high it is!
Didn't each of them wake up at all and were daydreaming here?
……………………
With no progress in the negotiations, the Noxian mission could not just go back in despair.
Not having the support of Demacia is not a big problem. New Noxus' war-filled legions are now ready to regain their homeland.
But the problem is that they can't guarantee that the Demacians won't interfere - although Lux is really not interested, the Noxians can't believe that she is really not interested!
Under such circumstances, the New Noxus Mission, like the ants on the hot pot over there, would naturally start conducting private activities.
Then, they fell into the same predicament as the United Mission, and conventional methods were ineffective.
Fortunately, compared with the United Mission, the New Noxus Mission has some unconventional methods.
It's not that they plan to directly kill the envoys of the United Mission. Although the Noxians can do such things as assassinating envoys from other countries, and have done it many times, in Demacia, they still don't have the guts to cause uproar.
Necessary diplomatic disputes.
The unconventional methods here mainly come from some members of the mission and a small friendship with the new royal family of Demacia.
Well, that's right, I'm talking about you, Katarina - it's time to go and catch up with Mr. Galen. I heard that he has been in a very difficult situation since the Northern Uprising and Demacia became New Demacia.
He was in a depressed state. Even after he went through a public trial and was later released, he was still depressed every day.
For Galen, he really had the aristocratic creed of Old Demacia engraved in his mind. As the eldest son of the Crownguard family and the future patriarch, his ideal since childhood was to protect the king and live up to the title of Crownguard.
name.
Then, without any warning, the sister he had always been the most worry-free and trusted rebelled against her. He went to persuade her to return as she was lost, but was directly imprisoned...
This isn't the end yet.
What Galen couldn't accept even more was that when he was under house arrest, worried day and night, and even prepared to plead with Jarvan IV after Lux failed, and was willing to sacrifice his life in exchange for his sister's survival, the northern army invaded.
The capital of Demacia.
It is difficult to describe Galen's complicated emotions after receiving this news.
Galen, loyal to the royal family, found himself royalty after a long period of house arrest.
Although Lux later openly told her inner journey within the family, Peter and Ogesha chose to smile bitterly in relief, while their aunt Tiana was gearing up to do something big, but Galen still found it difficult to accept Lux.
Became the Queen of Demacia.
Even Jarvan IV has looked away, but Galen is still depressed.
Fortunately, the good habits he had developed in the past kept Galen from falling even if he was in a bad mood. When he was depressed, he put all his thoughts on exercise - he didn't know what he was going to do, so he simply threw himself into endless exercise.
In training.
Work hard and hone your martial arts skills.
Although Galen knew that it would be difficult to join New Demacia's army simply by relying on personal bravery, his main purpose in doing so was to vent and relieve himself.
He cannot switch identities as seamlessly as his aunt Tiana.
Unlike his parents, he is old enough to delegate power and retire.
Even because he has been living in the army, he has seen people reach middle age and now they have not started a family. Even if they return to the family, they can only go back to being sons...
Clearly his status has improved.
It is obvious that people have few things to do.
But now Galen feels extremely uncomfortable.
And at this time, he met a woman who once made his heart beat.
Caterina, Galen remembered her clearly.
The last time I saw her was during the negotiation stage after the Battle of Tobitsia - although the Noxians suffered a complete defeat on the battlefield, they were still unwilling to give in completely at the negotiation table.
Although Galen didn't understand negotiation, as a "man in charge", he participated in the entire negotiation.
Opposite to Galen, in Noxus, the person in charge of the situation is Catalina du Cecao.
As the daughter of General Kecao, her status is naturally not low.
With training experience from childhood to adulthood, her skills are also impressive.
More importantly, she was not as smooth sailing as other noble children. Due to General Kecao's cold training methods, she also experienced a tragic failure and even left a deep scar on her face.
Therefore, although Catalina is quite proud, she has never been shy about talking about failure. For her, temporary failure is not a problem. What is more important is to find ways to get back on track in the future.
Galen admired his character very much.
Although their positions are inconsistent, when the two get along, they feel quite "in tune".
It's just that after Galen realized this, he chose to actively distance himself - he loved Demacia wholeheartedly and was unwilling to put himself in a dangerous situation.
This subtle good feeling...
It’s better to nip it in the bud!
However, sometimes, love is like a bottle of wine. After not seeing you for a long time, you miss it more and more.
Especially at this time when Galen was confused and didn't know where the future was.
When he saw Katarina again, Galen, who had been relieved of all military responsibilities, was able to face his emotions and Katarina more calmly.
Now that your career has reached a dead end, maybe it’s not a bad idea to clean up your mood and embrace love?
Therefore, Galen, who had put down the burden in his heart, had a pleasant conversation with Catalina this time.
