66. Provocation [Asking for a Monthly Pass]

Negotiation is another sense of war and confrontation.

For any diplomat, this sentence is a famous quote that goes deep into the bone marrow and soul. Because any small mistake, compromise, or concession will bring almost permanent trauma to one's family and country.

The indemnity of these two barons, at least in the next few years, will put the materials in the territory in a very poor predicament, and it will be a long time before they really recover. As a result, these two nobles who are dependent on the Boulder family will become a burden and burden to the Boulder family, but due to the Boulder family's long-term development policy, it is naturally impossible to abandon these two nobles.

So if you don't want these two nobles to end up in such a situation, then the Boulder family will have to bear all the compensation results.

It was also a difficult ending for Tedes to accept.

But fortunately, at least one negotiation problem was solved, and he mustered up his spirit to prepare for the next negotiation: "Since both sides have no opinion on this article, then let's draw it up like this." ”

"Yes." Sean nodded.

Of course, he had to give Tedles some confidence, if he just blindly attacked without relieving people, then the strings that were too tight would break. Therefore, the appropriate relaxation rhythm is the real trick to grasp the rhythm of a negotiation, especially when it exceeds the psychological expectations of the other party and forces the other party to nod and agree, it is necessary to give the other party a little sweetness, so as to better grasp the rhythm.

Otherwise, once the other party breaks the can and breaks the can, it is difficult to say who controls the rhythm.

Of course, Sean doesn't really know any negotiation skills at all, and he just relies on Neil's gestures to determine whether the current situation is beneficial to him.

When Neil knocks down his index finger, it means it's acceptable; If you knock down your middle finger. It means refusal; The ring finger represents the possibility of fighting for greater benefits; As for the tail finger, it was after pretending to think for three minutes. And with this series of actions, Neil and Cecilia will of course also speak at the right time to achieve a reminder and targeted effect, with the cooperation of these three people, Tedus, who is alone, will naturally not get any benefits.

No matter how good Tedes is at negotiating, he is only one person, and his opponents are two opponents whose skills are not below him at all. Especially since Neil is still an elf, the long years have allowed him to see a lot of human cunning and aristocratic unspoken rules, so at the negotiating table, as long as Neil has the initiative. Then it is equivalent to William opening the battlefield God perspective.

As for Cecilia, she really only made up for it in some way.

Because Neil tends to focus on one aspect of the problem and neglect others, some clauses are naturally impossible to think so precisely. Cecilia doesn't have too obvious strengths and weaknesses, but her status as a magician makes her extremely intelligent. Her memory and thinking skills are also excellent, so many details can be caught by her immediately. That's where Tedes gets a headache.

At this moment. Tedes had already guessed where Cecilia came from.

But even if you know the Tao, what if you know it?

Tedes could only curse inwardly: "It's a luxury to involve a magician in the negotiations!" ”

Not all magicians are so idle.

After the two barons agreed on the compensation for this article, the next negotiation treaty was much easier, and the progress was significantly faster. However, having learned the horror of Sean's team, Tedes naturally will not have any time to relax. The high concentration made him feel a little tired, but that's what the negotiation work is.

"Next, then, about the two territories that your army currently occupies." Tedus continued, "I hope Your Excellency will be able to evacuate the army immediately. After all, this is the territory of the Kingdom of Dabiang. Of course, your army will also receive a compensatory amount of compensation for the victorious side, which will be the full income of the two provinces for the next year. ”

"I have the opposite opinion with you on this point." Sean shook his head, "Whether it's the Kiraf Territory or the Dai Territory, it will be officially incorporated into my territory's jurisdiction, and this is unchangeable. Therefore, nominally, I would like to protest against you, for some time ago an army belonging to your country has invaded my territory, and I hope that you will immediately make this army cease all its actions and withdraw from my territory, otherwise I will regard it as a declaration of war. ”

Hearing Sean's words, Tedus's face finally showed a look of shock.

Although this war, Sean did occupy some kind of favorable name and produced a counterattack, but in this case, according to the noble war treaty, Sean should not occupy the territory, but should return the two occupied territories after obtaining sufficient compensation.

But now, Tedes listened to Sean's meaning, and it seemed that he was planning to make these two territories his own?

"Lord Sean, this behavior of yours seems to be contrary to common sense." Tedes was also a little confused, he was really confused now, according to the matter of the noble war treaty, such a thing had never happened in the Miracle Continent, but Sean was obviously unreasonable, which made Tedes also a little doubtful whether his theory was tenable, "According to the noble war treaty, you can't occupy these two territories, because it's ...... After all, it was only a contradiction between the nobles. ”

"According to the nobility treaty, I just shouldn't occupy these two realms, but it doesn't mean that my actions are not legal." Sean said without hesitation, as soon as he heard this line, he knew that Lu Dao had obviously been trained hard, "So strictly speaking, my behavior can definitely be regarded as legal." ”

"But even so, you only nominally have the right to rule these two territories, and in fact they still belong to the territory of the Kingdom of Dabion."

Tedes was a little puzzled.

Neither Baron Lonnis's Kiraff Territory nor Dai's Domain, ruled by Viscount Ruud, who was also said to have been captured by Shaun, was not an important territory. At least these two territories don't have any special products, not even ore veins and other things, and the situation in the Dayi territory is slightly better, because Viscount Rude is well managed, and there are currently two trade routes, and the annual profit is more than 100,000 gold coins, but even the lord can only get a piece of the pie, because the profit of this trade route is not Viscount Ruud alone.

The Kiraf Domain, on the other hand, was completely miserable, because Baron Lonis was not good at internal affairs, and the situation in the territory was not much better, and it was said that Baron Lonis even had to pay a sum of money every month to subsidize the army in the territory. In addition, the Dai Territory does not have any dangerous territory, the terrain in the territory is relatively wide and flat, so it is not easy for the army to defend the border, although the scale of the Qiraf Territory is much smaller, but the border is also relatively narrow and long, and it is also not easy to defend.

What is the value of these two territories that have no special products, mineral veins, resources, or even strategic points?

"I know that very well." Sean nodded, "I will also pay the taxes that should be paid to the Kingdom of Dabion every year." However, I am still a loyal Lane, and I trust that Mr. Tedles will not convey the wrong opinion when he goes back to retell it, right? ”

Tedes looked at Sean with some doubts, the so-called abnormal things must have demons, this is his years of negotiation experience. If Sean only wants the Panda Territory, he can also think that this is because the Panda Territory has no trade route, so he wants to use the Panda Territory's trade route to expand a trade route to the Panda Territory, after all, he has seen that this originally nameless town has even the outer wall of a city to be built, and it must be necessary to stimulate the development of the territory through trade.

But Sean still insisted on the Kiraf collar, which made him a little confused.

Moreover, at present, the two territories are related to the territory of the Dabiang Kingdom, and it is no longer a matter for the Boulder family, so Tedes does not dare to admit it: "On this point, it is beyond the ability of the Boulder family, so the Boulder family cannot make any compromise on this matter." After all, this is a matter of two territories, and even if the Boulder family wants to agree, they can't come up with the relevant territory documents, so it's better for us to cut it off the agreement, how about it? ”

"Oh, you don't need to erase it, you can draft another one, and when the time comes, just give it to your majesty the king for me." Sean smiled, "On the specific issue of these two territories, I have reached an agreement with Viscount Ruud and Baron Lonnis, and they have agreed to transfer them to me. And Viscount Rudd's territorial documents have been delivered not long ago......" As he said this, Neil handed a document to Tedus, "And Baron Lonis has also promised that as long as he returns home, he will have the documents delivered immediately." I'm just talking to you about this now, just a reminder, and I hope you can help relay the news to your majesty when the time comes. ”

"Since Viscount Ruud has given you the certificate of the territory, then he should return to the royal capital to report......"

Speaking of this, Tedus's face suddenly froze, and the incredulous color in his eyes became even stronger.

"There are some things that we don't need to say, do we?" Sean smiled slightly, "Viscount Ruud is actually just a victim. Since the Kingdom of Dabion doesn't want him anymore, isn't it normal for him to choose a better development future? …… So I hope that when the time comes, when you convey the news to your majesty on my behalf, it would be better to remind him, Ruud. Michlin is already a knight under my command, and I hope you will refrain from any malicious harassment against him, otherwise I will take it as a declaration of war. ”

"This is the declaration of war by the Kingdom of Dabion against me, do you know the truth?"

Cecilia glanced sideways at Sean, her face full of helplessness: this is really a naked face-slapping and provocation. (To be continued.) )
