Chapter 6 Is White Clothes Crossing the River? (2)
The messenger's name is Giovanni, and he is one of the confidants of the Governor of the Island Republic. He has helped his Governor win many difficult negotiations, and has also made a lot of money for himself while helping the Governor with his affairs.
In fact, when the Governor of the Island Republic asked the envoy to go to the Pirate Kingdom, he promised to pay Ella in full for sending troops. Giovanni only told Ella to pay 80%, and when he returned, he reported to the Governor that he would spend 90%
The price allowed the Pirate Kingdom to send troops. This time, not only did he receive a 10% kickback, he even received a commendation from the governor.
So Ella rushed in and pulled hard, which scared Giovanni half to death, thinking that the kickback he had taken was exposed.
Just listen to Ella shouting: "Money to buy Azov City! You really want this city in the trade center, right? I can't wait. How much are you prepared to pay?"
Glahid, Amy and others followed up at this time, standing respectfully far behind Ella. But regarding Ella's performance, Amy felt mixed feelings in her heart: "Your Majesty is really... more
He looks more and more like the Pirate King."
When Giovanni heard that it was not about kickbacks, he calmed down and responded seriously: "Don't worry, King of Sweden. The purchase of Azov City is of great importance. I am only here for the second negotiation. If Sweden
King, you are dissatisfied with the speed of envoy exchanges. The Governor is willing to invite you to the island republic to discuss in detail..."
Ella was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Amy with some embarrassment. She wanted to negotiate the deal as soon as possible, but starting from the city of Azov to the Republic of Liguria, she must pass through the Black Sea Strait, which is next to
Constantiniya, the capital of the Seven Hills Empire. The Pirate Kingdom and the Seven Hills Empire are at odds with each other. It would be very difficult for the army to pass there. And if Aila only leads a small group of people there, it would be too dangerous.
"What about the agreed-upon military expenditure? The 80% I said at the beginning was too evil! You are using me as a mercenary this time! You have to add 50% anyway!"
From these words, Giovanni could tell that Ella had no idea about him taking kickbacks, and he was even more confident in his words:
"King of Sweden, you are the island republic's best friend. Although your request is a bit overwhelming... the governor should still have a chance to agree."
"Okay, then go back and report as soon as possible!"
"It's just..." Giovanni changed the topic, "The war situation between the Island Republic and the Republic of Liguria is currently at a critical stage, and we really can't spare enough manpower to transport so much supplies. If the King of Sweden is really in a hurry,
, it is best to send a force to the island republic to transport supplies yourself..."
Like the previous proposal, this proposal also requires Ayla's troops to cross the Black Sea Strait.
"What do you mean?" Amy couldn't help shouting from the side, "The Island Republic should also know that this kind of troop mobilization will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Qiqiu Empire!"
At this time, Ella, who Amy had just evaluated as the "Pirate King", calmed down and waved her hand to tell Amy to calm down. She scanned the messenger up and down and asked: "We attacked before
When we arrived at Azov City, the Empire of the Seven Hills showed no response at all, so the Island Republic must have taken care of it?"
"The King of Sweden clearly knows." Giovanni said, "The Republic of Liguria, like us, is a vassal state of the Empire of Seven Hills. Azov is not far from the capital of the Empire of Seven Hills. These days, it all depends on the hard work of the villain.
The situation did not escalate further until the Qiqiu Empire was in full swing."
"What do you mean, it's all because of your hard work, and we still want to thank you!" Amy couldn't help shouting again, "We are sending troops this time at the request of the island republic. This is your division.
Work inside, right?”
"Please don't be angry, I don't have any intention to take credit." Giovanni bowed and said, "Of course this is just a matter of duty. The villain just used some rhetoric truthfully to better report these events to the King of Sweden.
It’s just God’s work.”
Ella frowned and said: "In that case, can you please continue to deal with the Qiqiu Empire Gang so that our troops can pass through the Black Sea Strait safely?"
Giovanni continued to bend down and said: "Unfortunately, the governor did not assign such a mission to the villain this time. If you want to formally make a diplomatic request to the Seven Hills Empire, the villain needs to return home and report to the governor first."
Amy's voice became louder and louder: "In other words, the island republic wants to withhold the promised supplies and refuse to give them?"
"The Island Republic has absolutely no such intention. During the war, it is really impossible to mobilize too many manpower to transport supplies to the King of Sweden. We ask the King of Sweden for his understanding. Of course, for the sake of friendly relations between the two countries, the villain is willing to drop by privately on his return trip this time.
Visit the important ministers of the Seven Hills Empire and explain to them the urgent needs of the King of Sweden."
"In the name of a private person?" Ella's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, "What is the success rate?"
"A villain will do his best."
Do your best, in other words, there is no guarantee of success. It is impossible for any general to ignore the risk of war and cross the Black Sea Strait because of this kind of personal guarantee.
Amy began to feel that Ella's pirate-like behavior at the beginning was right. Now she couldn't help but want to beat the oily messenger out - he babbled so much.
He just wanted to find a reason to help the island republic refuse the agreed supplies.
But just when Amy signaled the pirates around her to take action, Ella responded first: "I understand what the island republic means. Go back and tell your governor, I will send someone to transport the agreed goods right away.
supplies.”
Giovanni nodded: "This is the best. We will prepare the appropriate amount of supplies based on the number of people sent by the King of Sweden..."
Ella interrupted the envoy: "I want to transport all the supplies back at once. Do you think I will send 10,000 people to get it, is it enough?"
Everyone present was shocked by Ella's speech. Giovanni was even more shocked and stuttered: "Ten...ten thousand people?"
"Why, the island republic won't be able to provide the agreed supplies, right?"
Giovanni calmed down and said, "How could it be? I just don't know when the King of Sweden is going to come and get it?"
Ella shook her sleeves: "One month. Go back and tell your governor that in one month, I will personally lead 10,000 people to the island republic to collect the agreed supplies and discuss the ownership of Azov City."
Seeing Ella's determination to win, Giovanni's face became a little gloomy. But he didn't say a word, just took a step back, lowered his head and responded: "In that case, the island republic welcomes the arrival of the King of Sweden at any time.
