In panic, the Sibiya Empire used this combination of punches, and the entire envoy could only be described as panicked. Cohen Keda disrupted the opponent's prepared sequence of actions with his tricks of name and actual attack. Once the sequence was reversed, loopholes would open up.
They will appear one after another. Under such circumstances, no one can keep the rhythm set earlier. In fact, Cohen's starting point is very simple. If the merchants waiting for the chess pieces do not know the whole thing, they can be used as weapons by their opponents.
If used, it can also be used as a weapon by Sibia.
As long as an environment is created that makes these chess pieces feel that they may lose everything, they will act on their own - the first problem that demon merchants have to solve is to ensure that they are not excluded from the scope of trade.
Therefore, they almost set off with the messenger. They wanted to reach an agreement on the distribution of benefits before the heads of the nineteen business groups arrived in the Holy Capital.
Putting aside the past grievances of these nineteen business groups, and not to mention the intricate relationships between them, just relying on an "exclusive right to trade" that is still uncertain can make these people suffer a bloody blow. As for the envoys,
Cohen was not worried about how the merchants of the group would communicate with the nineteen business groups. The nature of the merchants meant that they would reach an agreement before arriving in the Holy Capital.
At the same time, in view of the fact that the defeated countries of the Divine Alliance had no intention or desire to trade, the Ministry of Foreign Trade of Sbia only sent invitations to three business groups under the Divine Alliance, two of which belonged to the Liva Empire.
, a business group belongs to the Pota Empire. This arrangement can also be understood as a kind of goodwill from Cohen Keda, because of the two empires, one appeared as an ally of Sbia during the war, while the other never
Actively display hostility.
There is no airtight wall in the world. The news that Bisi intends to trade with other countries has long been spread. There is no business group with minimum strength in Bisi continent that does not know this news. The merchants of the Divine Alliance are not fools.
They just suffer from the fact that they do not have the status of diplomats and cannot rush to the Holy Capital City to deliver gifts. Now, Sibia's formal invitation has been sent out. If things continue like this, these three business groups will be in charge of the entire Divine Alliance in the future.
the lifeblood of the free economy.
Will other business groups be willing to do so? Of course not! Dragons have their own paths, and snakes have their own paths. Anyway, all roads lead to the Holy Capital. The divine business groups have begun to take action. Compared with their demon counterparts, their situation is worse.
A little worse, but the official atmosphere of the divine empires is more corrupt and darker than that of the demonic empires. Correspondingly, the subordinate business groups are also more adaptable.
First of all, powerful business groups supplemented their official status through various channels, and entered the Sbia Empire in the name of passing news and delivering gifts. When this group of people arrived in the Holy Capital, it was really eye-opening.
——The leader of the Bansai Merchant Group Among the Tanxi Empire envoys, the small Yunlu Empire envoys came from behind, and more than a hundred people crowded the assigned post house.
Other business groups could neither obtain diplomatic status through political influence, nor did they have the time to go to Yunlu to purchase diplomatic status. Finally, they made a sudden decision and directly organized a group to come to the Holy Capital. A quarter of them found themselves in the Holy City.
The other three-quarters of the people went directly to the diplomatic ambassador of the Pota Empire in Sbia, Severk Lando.
The merchants have a very vicious vision. They know that looking at the entire Bis continent, there are not many foreigners who can directly meet the Emperor of Bis. And Severik Lando happens to be one of them. This person and Cohen Kaye
There is a good personal relationship between Da.
Severk Lando, who had made a fortune, did not go directly to Sibia officials to lobby. Instead, he summoned the imperial envoys of the Divine Alliance to explain the current situation of the business groups coming to the Holy Capital voluntarily and put the issue to rest.
To each mission.
On the one hand, the facts were in front of us. If he did not come to clean up the situation, Sibiya would intervene; on the other hand, he saw that the businessmen were so angry that if they were not properly guided, they might get burned... In the end, the envoys absorbed some of the businessmen.
The members of the group then asked other businessmen to form a joint business group like the demon genus to negotiate with the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Industry of Sbia.
At this point, this farce finally came to an end. The foreigners who came to the Holy City were divided into two identities, envoys and joint business groups, corresponding to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade of Sbia respectively. But everyone with a discerning eye knows that this round
Although negotiation and negotiation are divided into two groups and carried out independently, there are actually very complex connections between them. It is like a baby learning to walk. It is impossible for either side to take big steps, otherwise the consequences will be dire.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sibia officially started negotiations with the special envoys of the gods and demons on the issue of war compensation. The first issue of the negotiation was to determine the unjust roles played by the gods and demons in this war -
-This is the first time that someone has put this issue on the table that everyone knows very well, but must never see the light of day.
Protests, endless protests, the number of diplomatic documents piled on the emperor's desk can be used to boil a pot of water, but His Majesty Cohen dismissed them and forwarded them all to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for processing. Under the mediation of Deputy Foreign Minister Lip
Come on, it’s okay for the foreign envoys to make a fuss. No one has any intention to use this reason to cause trouble. They are not afraid of offending others, but there is no end to the offending of Cohen Kedar.
This chaotic scene only lasted for three days. It was Emperor Sibia who ended the dispute. On the fourth day of the negotiations, His Majesty Cohen issued an edict reprimanding the envoys of various countries. After the envoys were scolded, according to the arrangement
Regrouping: The divine envoys and the demonic envoys entered two barracks, were completely separated, and were not allowed to communicate with each other. The joint business groups of the two alliances were also ordered to disband, regroup, and elect leaders before they could trade with the outside world.
Negotiate with the Ministry.
Most people who are paying attention to this matter still believe that it was Sibiya's lack of experience in handling such matters that led to this chaos. However, a very small number of people believe that all things were promoted by Cohen Keda. After this continuous
With the chaos, he achieved his goal - to destroy the established upper-lower relationship between the two alliances and business groups, further complicate the distribution of interests, and eliminate to the greatest extent the conspiracy that the other party might implement through this negotiation.
Both of these guesses are reasonable, but only one person knows the true intention. Two days later, the envoys were all organized and the negotiations resumed. However, at this time, the composition of the envoys and the joint trade group, and the relationship between them
There have been great changes. It can also be said that the current situation is the result of a compromise and both sides can accept it.
Another edict resolved the problems plaguing the mission: the scope of the first issue was changed to "Under the instigation of evil groups with ulterior motives, the Divine Alliance and the Demonic Alliance launched a rash attack without verification.
"An unjust war of aggression against the Sibia Empire". This change brought about a qualitative change in the intention of the negotiations, and everyone could deal with it in order to save face.
Although under the call of faith, the Demon Alliance has enough rights and reasons to attack Sbia at any time, but in the face of a strong opponent, they can only swallow this bitter pill after defeat.
Sri Lanka has regained the right to define an "evil group with ulterior motives", saying that once verified, this evil group will be made public and all countries will jointly suppress it. But how to verify, how to judge, how to suppress, and who will suppress it
There are currently no regulations.
At the same time, a business group under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry was established, and negotiations with the United Business Group officially began. Because the United Business Group had a new leader, communication with the affiliated missions was no longer a problem. The most important point was,
Most of these people believe in interests, so the business group negotiations were in a good atmosphere at the beginning.
Fundamentally speaking, this series of events is nothing more than the Sibia Empire using diplomatic envoys and businessmen to conduct a full round of tentative attacks against the unknown conspiracy party. If there is a conspiracy here, then the other party will definitely target Sibia.
Some adjustments to Biya's tactics, apart from other things, just re-establishing channels between the envoys and business groups would keep them busy.
"In other words, as long as the envoys and the joint business group can reach a tacit understanding, the conspiracy can be confirmed?" At the regular meeting that day, Dean Lorenzo asked His Majesty Cohen: "After the conspiracy is confirmed, can we take action?"
"There is no rush at this moment. We have already done a lot in the early stage, which shows that we value this negotiation and are coveting the benefits later. This is enough." Cohen shook his head slightly: "If we go further now
If we take the initiative to advance, we will expose the truth that we have seen through this conspiracy. The other party will immediately let go and start a new plan."
"Now the negotiations between the two sides have entered a substantive stage. The joint business group wants the right to negotiate, and we need to maintain the appearance of demanding huge compensation." Princess Dill said worriedly: "If the other party does not take the initiative to advance, it will fall into
A stalemate."
"None of this is a problem. We have meetings every day, and the other party will always pay attention to it." Wei Su, the Prime Minister, smiled slightly: "If my estimate is correct, the new leaders of the joint business group are already having secret talks with the powerful figures in the envoy.
As long as the two are integrated, they will offer an attractive price for exclusive trading rights."
"Will it be that fast?" Dean Lorenzo was a little confused.
"Yes," Cohen replied, "because this is just the first step in their entire conspiracy."
"My curiosity is getting stronger and stronger." Dean Lorenzo sighed: "Your Majesty, when can I get a glimpse of the whole picture?"
Cohen laughed: "Don't worry, when the dust settles on the exclusive trade rights, I will reveal the whole conspiracy to the dean."
Since the emperor had said so, it was not easy for Dean Lorenzo to ask further questions. The regular meeting for the day ended here. Prime Minister Wei Su accompanied the dean out first. Several imperial concubines stayed behind because they still had some documents to check.
Cohen took a glass of wine alone and walked around the carpet in the conference room. The fluff on the edge of the carpet was stepped on and turned up again.
"This carpet is not a trophy captured by my husband, it is a gift from the Thirty-Six Tribes." Princess Dill, who looked up from the official document, was angry and funny, and said to Cohen: "If you feel bored, why not go and accompany Wen Si?
Korea."
Cohen smiled and did not answer, but Feline said: "Don't worry about him, he must be thinking about something."
"Oh? Husband, are you thinking about something?" Princess Kelly was more straightforward and asked Cohen: "Isn't everything in front of you arranged? Just follow the procedure step by step. What worries do you have, husband?"
Woolen cloth?"
Cohen shook his head: "What I'm worried about now is not the bunch of merchants and envoys in the Holy Capital."
"So." Princess Dill took over Cohen's words: "Are you worried about the person who made the conspiracy?"
Cohen shook his head again: "I am not afraid of the person who formulated the conspiracy. If this conspiracy can succeed, I will have a share of the credit in it. They should be grateful to me."
"Then who else..." Princess Kaili stopped mid-sentence. Since even the people who made the conspiracy have been eliminated, then the only ones left are the light gods and the dark demons. Only they can
That's where Cohen's concerns lie.
"It doesn't matter, just leave this troublesome matter to me." Seeing that the three imperial concubines all understood, Cohen said with a smile: "Everyone just needs to wait with peace of mind and confirm whether this matter is true or false. Then we can go straight to
Let’s get to the point, there are still many things for you to worry about!”
"I don't understand." Princess Kaili asked doubtfully: "Since your husband is not concerned about the people in front of you, why do you take this matter so seriously? Do you have to draw up every detail personally?"
"Regardless of whether there is a conspiracy or not, this negotiation is real and was bought with the blood of the soldiers. Publicly and privately, I cannot let the blood of the soldiers flow in vain." Cohen replied solemnly: "Even if the other party
Without conspiracy, the empire will strive to use negotiation and trade to completely dismantle our opponents and recast order for the continent in the next few decades!"
If someone else were present, they might not believe Cohen's words, because what is going on now is just negotiation and business. But these princesses of the Sibia Empire understood the meaning of Cohen's words, and their husbands were determined to
It is necessary to disintegrate the original cohesion and centripetal force of the Divine Alliance and the Demonic Alliance, and use profits to change the pillars, causing the two alliances to change from within, making their already rock bottom strength even worse!
What's more, Cohen's vision has transcended both gods and demons and projected to a greater place.
The same night, the same lights, in a manor in the Sibia Empire.
There is a game of chess on the stone table, and two cups of green drinks are rippling gently in the jade cups, with a faint fragrance floating in the air. Two women in beautiful clothes each hold their own chess pieces and sit at one end of the stone table. One is wearing white, the other is wearing white.
Wearing blue, they both have delicate faces carved from jade and pink. They both have long, smooth hair draped behind their shoulders. Their bright eyes look at each other, but the tense atmosphere between the two is not so much a game of chess.
, it is more appropriate to say that it is out of anger.
After a long time, a chess piece fell on the board.
"These past few days, the Holy Capital has been very lively. Things have happened one after another. Emperor Sbia's skills can be said to be new." A soft voice rang out from the mouth of the girl in blue: "Seeing that there are people in the Divine Alliance?
Your Highness must be very happy to have such an outstanding human monarch, right?"
"Does this constitute a reason for me to be happy? If the demons hadn't rushed to the Holy City to support Cohen Keda, this farce wouldn't have been possible." The face of the little princess of the God Clan was as calm as water: "Compared to
In this matter, I am more concerned about the temporary change of generals by the Dark Demon Tribe and the use of the younger princess to take charge of this matter instead of the eldest princess."
"It's my fault. Your Highness is not a little princess herself. I'm afraid that when the eldest sister comes, she will make Your Highness cry!" The little princess of the demon clan smiled slightly: "For some small things, there is no need for the eldest princesses of the two clans to come forward, right?
"
"It's a small matter, but in the eyes of His Highness, what is a big deal?" The little princess of the God Clan nudged her finger, and a chess piece drove straight into the plate: "Chasing Cohen Keda on the dividing line between gods and demons can be regarded as a big deal.
pieces?"
"How long ago it happened, why should Your Highness be so upset about it? Besides, wasn't Your Highness always present at that time?" At this point, the little demon princess lowered her eyelashes slightly and said again: "Think about it carefully, I
The purpose of the palace was to demonize Cohen Keda, so why did His Highness follow him so closely?"
"I'm just curious." The finger trembled slightly, and the chess piece under the fingertips of the little princess of the gods was positioned on the cross line: "I want to see what the demon princess wants to do to my subordinates of the gods."
"What a coincidence, I didn't let His Highness finish it." The little demon princess covered her mouth and chuckled: "Next time, I will definitely make His Highness happy."
Just as the little princess from the God Clan was about to answer, a charming female voice came from behind the little princess from the Demon Clan: "Your Highness, there is news from the Holy City about plans."
"Say it!" The little demon princess did not raise her head, as if she was focusing all her attention on the chess game.
"Come and report back." The first demon general appeared and bowed to answer: "Everything is ready in the Holy City. The bait has been released and the plan will be implemented soon."
"Plan, again, plan. I've been busy for so many days and haven't I started to implement it yet?" The little princess of the demon clan sighed: "It's very boring. Why don't you go to the Holy City to take a look around and find something new to say?
Listen to me!"
"Your Highness, Princess, please wait patiently. There will definitely be progress soon." The First Demon General replied: "If Your Highness is worried, I will go to the Holy City to inquire about the news, or..."
"No need, since we decided to let that person do it, let's let it go!" The little princess of the demon clan was not as willful as she seemed. She handed over the first demon general and smiled at the little princess of the god clan: "Your Highness, we should continue to do it.
Let’s play chess here and wait!”
"The palace has been settled." The expression on the face of the little princess of the God Clan did not change: "It's your highness's turn." (To be continued)
