【1006】 Brag and Demolition
The proud Azel and the mean Zelas will also send envoys to Fukuo Island to engage in diplomacy?
After receiving the news, Alyssa's first reaction was "You are teasing me", but after confirming the accuracy of the news and seeing these two with her own eyes, she finally realized that something was wrong.
If the envoys from these two sides appeared on Fukuo Island, the diplomatic results they wanted to achieve would be difficult than climbing the sky.
The long-sleeved and dance-good baron knew very well that Noxus' diplomatic advantages lie in his own size and some of the economic benefits that could be given for the overall interests of the empire. Under Svein's control, the Noxus nobles had to grit their teeth and bleed out, and use real money to win over those merchants they looked down upon.
It is precisely through this policy of scattering coins that Alisa's diplomatic activities can be smooth and all means can be invincible.
However, these moves are meaningless to Azil and Zelas' old and new Shurima.
Everyone had just fought in a battle with real swords and guns. Although Noxus did laugh to the end, objectively speaking, the Empire did go to the farthest place.
Taking over Nashlame and facing Uzeris is the limit that Noxus can do now. Unlike Zelas, Noxus' expansion is purposeful, and the land acquired must be effectively converted into Noxus' territory.
Can you take advantage of the situation to take over Uzeris?
OK.
But taking Uzeris off, the empire may have indigestion.
Therefore, before really solving the problem of Nashrame Lieyang Sect, Svein only maintained his offensive against Uzeris and adopted the method of cutting off the city's supplies to siege, and did not directly choose to siege the city.
Anyway, if you can't digest it, you'll be able to surround it slowly. There is no need to let the soldiers of the empire bleed here.
Under such a situation, Zelas actually gave up Uzeris in his heart. Although it was very sad to feel like he had worked hard for several years and returned to the front of the rebellion, he actually had no choice.
With the blockade and war, Zelas's "New Shurima" has completely collapsed, production cannot keep up, order is messy, food supply is insufficient, and chaos is difficult to restrain...
Zelas is actually not far from falling.
If he hadn't been still strong and could have forcibly controlled some of the guards by force, I'm afraid that the new Shurima, who had just raised the flag, would have collapsed completely!
In such embarrassment, Zelas complained to the giant gods that "Twilight misled me", while also secretly pondering the possibility of renunciation, even if it is just a temporary ceasefire and lifting the blockade?
After a desperate war failed, Zeras urgently needed to take a breath!
It was at this time that he received a letter from Fukugami Island, inviting him to participate in multilateral diplomacy and "contribute to quelling Shurima's suffering."
Zelas doesn't care whether he suffers or not, but he does need an opportunity to participate in this multilateral diplomacy. At least he can speak on such occasions. It's too bad to be blocked and banned. Zelas doesn't want to do it again at all.
So, Xin Shurima quickly sent his own diplomats - considering that Zelas himself is a secondary dealer who cooperates with the Giant God, his messenger team also has a clear division.
One chief and one deputy, the chief envoy was one of Zelas's few confidants and dog-headed military advisors, and the deputy envoy was a priest from the Lieyang Sect.
In fact, if the situation allows, Zelas does not want the Lieyang Sect to participate.
But after all, he still needs to rely on the power of the giant god, so he still has to give up the position of deputy envoy.
In this way, the messenger of Zelas set off from Karamanda, finally arrived at Piltwof a day after the Demacians, and then arrived at Fukuo Island by a special ship.
And the messenger of Azer arrived on the same day as them.
Unlike Zelas, who knows the current affairs, Azer's sending messengers is actually quite reluctant - if Zelas's messengers are powerful and can really affect the diplomatic situation, then Azer's messengers are not much better than those who make up the numbers.
In order to maintain the "dignity of the Shurima Empire", Azer set a large number of regulations for his messengers and carefully stipulated the scope of power of the messengers.
On the side of Zelas, the messengers could formulate diplomatic clauses to a certain extent and even sign treaties with full authority, but Azer's messengers had almost no ability to decide on the exchange of interests except "opposing blasphemous clauses that undermine the dignity and interests of the empire."
Well, it's almost the level of a cripple hunting-the mountain roaring.
After all, Azer and Zelas were different. Even though he still failed in Zurita, he was stopped by a Choifali legion and a combat mage group in embarrassment, and was eventually benefited by the Noxus fisherman. However, considering that he successfully withdrew most of the team, this war could only be considered a small defeat for him.
Being taken advantage of by a third party and was just a small defeat, how could Azil easily put down his airs of being the emperor and communicate with these people equally?
I am the Emperor of Shurima!
Under the influence of pride, even with Nathers' advice, Azel finally reluctantly agreed to send an envoy, and then made a lot of requests in a row. The desert emperor did not think that the empire could get what he wanted at the negotiating table!
………………………………………
Some of Azer's ideas are correct, and they cannot be obtained on the battlefield and at the negotiating table.
But what is interesting is that although his messenger seems to be unable to get anything, he can make the enemy lose something through his own language.
With Yasuo's intentional help, Azir's messenger got a lot of opportunities for communication.
Facing the messengers of Northeast Mutual Protection, this messenger selected by Nathus was not too arrogant, nor did he regard these city-states as "traitors of the empire" - even in terms of law, Northeast Mutual Protection was indeed a traitor of the Shurima Empire, but not every Shurima people, like Azer, still bit the glory of the empire.
Through these opportunities of contact, the Mr. Messenger gave the Noxus a tube of eye drops.
What, you said he slandered the Noxus?
How is that possible!
The only thing this messenger did was to tell the "strategic fraud" of the Noxus at the end of the battle, and that's all.
Although intelligence fraud in the war is not the same as diplomatic credibility, to some extent, they have indeed figured it out.
Moreover, the Noxus people have always had a very flexible moral bottom line. Even the merchants who really have interests in Noxus are very clear about the nature of this empire...
The diplomatic wind direction has finally changed.
As the winner, Noxus should have been arrogant at the diplomatic table, but Baron Alisa, who was responsible for heavy responsibilities, felt as if he was on pins and needles at this time.
At this moment, she finally understood the most important significance of multilateral diplomacy - this special platform can greatly limit the pursuit of diplomacy. When the host of a diplomatic conference is not the winner, the difficulty of the winner will be no less than a little.
The cunning Yasuo, the cunning Fukugami Island!
Alisa really wanted to curse this organization that only hindered people, but when she spoke, she found that she didn't even have the strength to curse.
Is it useful to scold me?
A sense of powerlessness eroded the whole body of the baron. This time, Alisa, who had always been decisive, finally realized a kind of fatigue from the bottom of her heart.
The Grand Commander's idea is very correct, and the empire does need its own platform.
But building this platform is not as smooth as the commander thought.
At least now, with the arrival of the messengers of the old and new Shurima, the idea of multilateral diplomacy that Svein thought had completely gone bankrupt.
At this moment, what Alisa can do is no longer start a new job and take the lead.
The most important thing this baron needs to do at the moment is to stabilize the situation at the upcoming multilateral diplomatic conference, at least not to worsen the diplomatic environment of the empire!
…………………………
Because the wedding planning will take some time, even if it is more important, multilateral diplomacy still begins before the wedding.
Like last time, Lucian, who had a dark face, was still pulled out and became the host.
Yasuo originally wanted to use the last speech, but unfortunately the situation changed. Lucian had to change the manuscript himself based on the current situation - this part should be Yasuo's work!
Thinking of this, Lucian, who was originally just coming back to be his best man, looked even darker this time.
Well, by the way, theoretically, Lucian and Senna are not married. After going through ups and downs and downs, they no longer need this form, so this pair is simply the perfect groomsman and bridesmaid, who can be used for decades.
After Lucian advocated peace and ended his opening speech, it was Sarah's first lieutenant, Raven, who still made the first meaningful speech.
Unlike the last time when regional transportation cooperation was proposed, the content of Raven's speech was no longer advocated, but a summary - in fact, after the last multilateral diplomacy, Bilgewater could be said to have made a dozen money. In this era when bulk goods are mainly transported by sea in international transactions, if you want to develop trade, you will definitely not avoid fleets.
Except for the few wealthy merchants of Piltwolf, no one could afford to support their own fleet. In this case, the Bilgewater, who acted as logistics providers, successfully achieved collective monopoly. They relied on their own navigation technology and ship capital to make a fortune in the gradually prosperous international trade.
In Raven's speech, he summarized the results of trade with a series of dizzy numbers and added some of the content about blockades and embargoes, which proved the success of the last meeting, and on the other hand, he also showed himself.
Through these numbers, the eldest mate did not express the meaning of "we will not reach out for other aspects of trade at will, but those who want to compete with us for jobs in logistics are careful", which generally satisfies Sarah.
For now, this is what the Queen of Bilgewater thinks.
Taking steady steps, the logistics supply alone is enough to make Bilgewater overwhelmed - especially after seeing the previous scene of the Battle of the Three Emperors, she had no idea of occupying the colony.
Things on land are still too far away for Bilgewater's water rat.
For Raven's speech, the diplomatic envoys gave applause without exception. Even the Zelas envoy, who was miserably imprisoned by the embargo and blockade, gritted his teeth and clapped his hands, as if the target of the anti-smuggling results in the data was not his.
Why is he so happy?
The reason is very simple. The one who was anti-smuggling before was his own, so the next anti-smuggling and blockade should be targeted at Noxus, right?
No one is happy when you are unlucky, but who will be unhappy when you see the enemy being unlucky?
After Lei Wen's speech, Master Yi, who represented Ionia, came on stage again. The Wuji Sword Saint focused on the wedding. He performed more like he was making up the numbers in this multilateral diplomacy than the last time.
In this case, the content of Master Yi's speech can only be considered to be lackluster and unnourished. Apart from the theme of calling for peace, there is almost no more substantive content.
Well, I can't say nothing.
In the boring speech, if you are willing to listen carefully, you should still find something useful - about Ionia's concept of natural harmony and initiatives on helping the needy.
These content sounded high-profile farts to most messengers, but in fact, Ionia would indeed take out some resources to help maintain the environment of the Runeland and rescue people in war and suffering.
Even though Ionia has not yet completely escaped from the trauma of war.
Master Yi's speech received polite applause, and the clapping voice was not as enthusiastic as before when Lei Wen was, but Master Yi himself seemed to be careless. After finishing his speech, he quickly left, and even had no intention of stopping.
The person who spoke after Master Yi was the messenger of Northeast Mutual Protection.
Because Lord Sespin had a stroke not long ago, Northeast Mutual Insurance replaced another messenger - also a respected senior, Lord Chasness.
Then, just when the other envoys thought that the new Lord Alzheimer's dementia would start practicing Tai Chi again, continue to use clichés and continue to issue power to the deputy envoy, Lord Chasnes walked to the front of the stage.
After standing still, the old man with silver hair raised his right arm high and punched him hard on the podium.
"The war is not over yet, and our efforts toward peace are far from enough!"
