Chapter 927: Blocked

(PS: Sorry for the late update!!) )

Before leaving, Violet had to be taught by Ouyang Shuo in person, knowing that Great Xia did not want to start a dispute with the Mediterranean countries, and the aggressiveness at the negotiation table was just a gesture.

Since the lord of the Mediterranean invited Queen Caria, Violet naturally took advantage of the situation, so as not only to achieve the purpose of negotiation, but also to return Queen Caria's favor.

With this, I think that the Queen of Caria and the Lord of the Mediterranean will pay more and more attention to it in the future.

Violet relented, and the trade negotiations between the two sides immediately made a breakthrough, and the detailed rules will soon be finalized. Unexpectedly, just when the two sides were about to sign the contract, the Daxia negotiation team suddenly received an urgent letter.

The urgent message brought the king's edict, and the content was also very concise, "Caesar City is not within the scope of this negotiation, and all ports of the Great Xia Dynasty are not open to Caesar City caravans." ”

Violet looked at it and rubbed her forehead, "This condition is really ...... It's so exciting! ”

During the negotiation process, the one who picked the most thorns, spoke the most yin and yang, and had the most hostility towards Great Xia was the self-righteous Caesar, which annoyed Violet.

If there was one of the most annoying Mediterranean lords, it would be Caesar.

As soon as Bactria suffered a setback during the Somali War, Caesar openly declared, "Today's defeat is retribution for the turmoil caused by Bactria and its environs." ”

Well, now that the Somali national war ended with a complete victory in Bactria, it was not Bactoria that was really punished, but Caesar, which was really unpleasant.

"Look at how you make a fool of yourself tomorrow." Violet snorted, in a happy mood.

…………

Atlantis City, Conference Room.

On this morning, negotiators from both sides gathered to sign the final trade agreement.

The main members of the Great Xia delegation were all gathered, and the Mediterranean side sent a group of heavyweight lords such as Henry, Casillas, and Caesar.

Henry is the representative of the Mediterranean.

The difficult negotiations finally ushered in the final signing, and the members of both sides were in a good mood, even Caesar put away his usual stinky face and talked and laughed with the other Mediterranean lords.

There is no doubt that the signing of the trade agreement will benefit all territories in the Mediterranean, and Caesars City is no exception. With money, Caesar was able to realize his ambitions.

The previous aggressiveness in the negotiation process was only that Caesar wanted more than Henry and others, and was more greedy.

At the end of the day, Caesar wasn't a fool.

Caesar's hostility to the Great Xia Dynasty and his prejudice against Ouyang Shuo were nothing more than racial prejudice in his bones. Caesar, who claimed to be a descendant of the ancient Roman Empire, could not see the yellow race as a blessing.

As a witness to both sides, Kalia presided over the signing ceremony.

The atmosphere at the beginning of the scene was quite harmonious, until after introducing the representatives of the two sides, Violet followed and said with a smile: "Before the official signing of the agreement, I will announce one thing on behalf of Daxia. ”

"Please!"

Kalia was a little surprised, it wasn't part of the process.

Henry and the others on the other side also trembled in their hearts, "Could it be that Daxia is going to regret it?!" "With the fall of Somalia, Bactria occupies an absolute lead in this negotiation, and there is no room for Henry and others not to worry.

Caesar jumped out, frowned and said, "To be a man is to be trustworthy." ”

Violet glanced at Caesar with a smile and said, "After receiving my king's decree, this time Great Xia signed a trade agreement with the Mediterranean territories, excluding Caesar City. ”

"What did you say?" As soon as Violet's words fell, Caesar immediately exploded, his eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to eat people, this change really caught Caesar off guard.

Violet's expression remained unchanged and said, "The Great Xia caravan will not stay in the port of Caesar City, and similarly, all the ports of Great Xia will not be open to the Caesar City caravan. What do I mean, do you make that clear? ”

"You deceive people too much!" Caesar was furious.

Violet said: "In view of the extremely unfriendly remarks made by Lord Caesar recently towards Great Xia, Great Xia does not think that there is still a need to continue to cooperate with Caesar City. ”

“……”

Caesar's expression was stunned, his face was flushed, and he was choked and speechless.

The other Mediterranean lords were also originally puzzled by Da Xia's sudden movements, and after listening to Violet's explanation, it suddenly became clear that the root cause was here.

Caesar's recent public remarks against Bactria are clear to everyone present.

Caesar could never have dreamed that he would lose a huge profit for the sake of temporary pleasure. Basically, without the cooperation of Great Xia, the caravan in Caesar City would not have been able to reach the East at all.

This would be a devastating blow to Caesar's City's ocean-going trade.

Among the lords here, there are those who feel sorry for Caesar's City, and there are also those who gloat. For example, Henry and others, seeing Caesar deflated, don't mention how happy they were.

At the same time, they were also a little shocked by Great Xia's thunderbolt methods. From this point of view, Daxia is by no means the kind of character who is bullied and doesn't fight back, holding grudges.

Ouyang Shuo's move also has the meaning of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

Caesar was the hero in the end, quickly calmed down, and said in a sinister manner: "Since Great Xia is unwilling to cooperate with Caesar City, is it still necessary to sign this agreement?!" You are blatantly provoking the Mediterranean and playing with us lords as monkeys. "Caesar, this is going to drag the entire Mediterranean lord into the water.

It's a pity that Violet was not fooled.

"Caesars is Caesar, and it doesn't represent the whole Mediterranean." Violet glanced at Caesar playfully, "The cooperation with the Mediterranean, Great Xia has always been sincere. And this sincerity, everyone here must have also felt it, even if Great Xia has an advantage, he will never want to be aggressive. ”

Thinking of Great Xia's concession, the Mediterranean Lord nodded unconsciously.

Only Caesar's face became more and more gloomy.

Violet continued: "But the premise of cooperation is mutual trust, and no one is willing to cooperate with the enemy. Since Lord Caesar had openly opposed Great Xia before, he obviously had no intention of cooperating with Great Xia, right? ”

“……”

Caesar was squeezed by violets and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

In terms of the viciousness of the tongue, I am afraid that no one here can compare to the little goblin Violet, smashing his amorous eyes, but the words he said are enough to make people vomit three liters of blood.

Caesar Leng said coldly: "In that case, then the Great Xia caravan should not think of passing through the Mediterranean. ”

Depending on the situation, Caesar is preparing to break the net, and the Italian area where Caesar's city is located is located in the middle of the Mediterranean, if the Roman fleet under Caesar's command harasses the merchant ships of Bactria, the impact will indeed be great.

Violet was confident, turned her head to look at Henry and the others, and said, "The prerequisite for signing a trade agreement between Great Xia and the Mediterranean Sea is that you must ensure the safety of the navigation of Great Xia's merchant ships in the Mediterranean. I don't think you here want to let the selfish behavior of one territory affect the situation in the whole Mediterranean, right? ”

Henry was silent.

The meaning of Violet's words actually involves a more sensitive topic. That is, after the Atlantic Fleet in Great Xia withdrew from the Mediterranean Sea and relinquished dominance, who would control the sea dominance in the Mediterranean.

The most competitive of these were Henry's Gallic fleet, Caesar's Roman fleet, and Casilla's Spanish Armada.

Of the three major fleets, the Roman fleet was the latest, and compared with Spain and France, Italy was not a traditional maritime hegemon, so it was the weakest.

The Gallic fleet was originally on par with the Spanish Armada, but in the first battle of Morocco, the Spanish Armada confidently entered the battle, but unexpectedly it was crippled by a mine in Great Xia.

After the war, the Spanish Armada, which lost nearly half of its warships, suddenly became the weakest of the three fleets, and was even inferior to the Roman fleet.

Henry's Gallic fleet "sat back and enjoyed it" and suddenly became the strongest fleet in the Mediterranean. It has to be said that among the lords of the Mediterranean, Henry is the most "cunning".

No wonder some people say that Henry is a fox who doesn't bark.

The meaning of Violet's words, Henry could not have understood better. If Henry and other Mediterranean lords acquiesced to the Roman fleet harassing the Bactrian caravan, it would not only affect the trade between Bactria and the Mediterranean territories, but also undermine the dominance of the Gallic fleet in the Mediterranean.

Either way, it was unacceptable to Henry.

When it comes to the control of the Mediterranean, no one can back down even a step. What's more, the clever Henry keenly seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity from Violet's words.

Don't look at the lords of the Mediterranean, who share the same hatred and hatred for the outside world, in fact, they each have their own calculations. The trade negotiations were full of twists and turns, and various opinions and factions were entangled.

One thing is clear.

That is, the lords who are doing it do absolutely do not want to offend the Great Xia Dynasty because of Caesar City and break with Great Xia, so they follow the ship and collectively break with Great Xia.

The negotiation between territories is not a trick, but a real business interest is involved. If not, how could they bother to negotiate with the Great Xia negotiating team so far.

No one is alive Lei Feng.

Violet's words can be seen as sowing discord, or as an opportunity, an opportunity to isolate Caesar's City with the rest of the Mediterranean territory as a link of interests and a trade agreement as an opportunity.

To put it bluntly, if Caesar really arranged for the Roman fleet to harass the merchant ships of Bactria as he said, he would completely destroy the trade foundation between Bactria and the Mediterranean and smash the jobs of other Mediterranean territories.

No one will accept this.

The lords of the Mediterranean were all wise men, and they soon came to their senses, and the eyes they looked at Caesar were quite unkind.

When Caesar saw this, his heart trembled, and he had a bad premonition.

Henry glanced vaguely at a lord, who was his secret ally.

When the lord received the signal, he immediately got up and said, "Caesar, you can't represent the Mediterranean, let alone destroy the interests of the entire Mediterranean because of your own interests, that would be too selfish. ”

"What do you say, I'm selfish?" Caesar was furious.

"What is it that harming others and not benefiting oneself is not selfish?"

"I ...... I ......" Caesar was so angry that he could not speak, and said angrily, "You traitors! ”
