Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1126

[Chapter 1126 Nicholas]

“What! Ceded the vast snowfield east of the Ural Mountains?” It

was already deep winter, and the winter sun in Petersburg shone on people, and it was also cold.

After browsing through Dong An’s documents, Chester only felt colder.

Immediately, his face turned red and full of anger, “Your emperor must be crazy, no one has ever allowed the country of Ross to cede the occupied territory.”

Dong An didn’t change his face, but said lightly, “It’s a bit embarrassing for you to say that. No one is joking. We know the history of your country of Ross, and we also know the history of the extreme northern snowfield. Historically speaking, our Dasong seems to have a deeper origin in the extreme northern snowfield. After all, that land is on Dasong’s back. , Isn’t it?”

“This is a preposterous statement, in short, if our country of Ross occupies it first, then it belongs to our country of Ross.” Dong An’s rebuttal made Chester suddenly feel a little annoyed.

What Dong An said was not unreasonable.

But it was just because it made sense that it made him angry.

“So, do you agree with the truth that whoever has the strength can take over?” Dong An was always calm, and he instantly caught the loophole in Chester’s words.

Chester was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Obviously, this is a trap set by Dong An.

If he admits it is, then Da Song will be able to attack the snow field in the extreme north, which is the occupation of strength.

If he does not agree, then it cannot be recognized that the extreme northern snowfield is the territory of the country of Ross.

Thinking of this, he didn’t answer, but said, “I can’t answer such an important question. It needs to be decided by Emperor Nicholas. Please rest in the post temporarily, and I will report your purpose.”

“Then We will wait for the good news.” Dong An smiled lightly, and then he threw out a slightly threatening sentence, “Remind us, now that we have an absolute advantage in the Far East in Dasong, you don’t want Tianzhu’s defeat to repeat itself in the Far East Bar?”

Chester’s face turned pale again, he still didn’t speak, but hurried to the Winter Palace.

Here, Dong An went down to the resting place under the leadership of the Russian diplomats.

Half an hour later, Chester met Emperor Nicholas with the document.

“I think this visit must not be well-intentioned.” Nicholas looked at Chester and said with a frown.

Chester’s panicked expression is enough to explain many things.

“Emperor Dasong Zhao Xu asked us to give up all the land east of the Ural Mountains, and at the same time gave us two choices.” Chester also ignored the usual polite greetings, and said directly.

After a pause, he continued, “First, we will peacefully hand over the territory east of the Ural Mountains to Dasong, and Dasong will establish diplomatic relations with us, and at the same time provide us with some technologies to help us in the technical development of the country of Ross. Catch up with Britain, and second, if we refuse, they will use force to take what they want.”

“What an arrogant request.” Nicholas realized that the Great Song Mission was not kind, but he didn’t expect to bring Such humiliating conditions.

The strong anger made the veins on his neck emerge from the surface of the skin, “Go and tell the envoys to get out of Petersburg, and go back and tell their emperor…”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped again, turning into A sigh.

Because he knew very well that facing the Dasong Kingdom, which had easily defeated the Western-Turkish Allied Forces, they were powerless to fight against it in the Far East.

If you handle this matter according to your own preferences, in the next year, the country of Ross may fall into a war with Dasong.

At that time, even if the countries of the Western Turks send coalition forces to the country of Ross, will they be able to win?

What’s more, according to Chester’s understanding, the war in Tianzhu has frightened some Western countries.

Although they still harbor deep hostility towards Da Song, they dare not talk about war lightly.

There are even Western countries discussing in private the idea of establishing diplomatic relations with Dasong to calm the conflict between the East and the West.

Therefore, he doubts how much these countries will support him if the country of Ross becomes the bridgehead against Da Song.

After thinking for a while, his thoughts returned to the first condition of Dasunti.

The Dasong people said that they would help the country of Ross improve its technology and surpass Britain.

It has to be said that this one has reasons for his heart.

Because in the West, the country of Ross has always been regarded as a barbarian, and Britain’s technological blockade against the country of Ross is also the most stringent.

It took a lot of effort for them to have today’s steam industry technology.

Once, he once let his son secretly go to Britain to study in order to master these steam technologies.

But even so, their steam technology is much behind that of Britain, and many industries are missing.

Therefore, he has always had a stubborn obsession with steam technology.

Now, when Da Song proposed this, he was naturally a little moved.

However, ceding the country is a big taboo in the country of Ross. If he does this, he will inevitably be opposed by the nobles.

So, this is a dilemma.

“Perhaps, we should learn about Da Song and grasp its real situation.” After hesitating for a while, Nicholas suddenly thought of something.

The people of Ross need to understand the real Dasong. If Dasong is so powerful that the country of Ross cannot resist, then the nobles can only compromise.

And if Da Song is not that strong, and they have even a slight possibility of resisting his attack, then they will choose the second condition.

Of course, he also expected that Emperor Dasong Zhao Xu had sinister intentions.

The first one is actually forcing the country of Ross to stop expanding eastward and turn westward.

The ultimate goal is to stir up internal fighting between Ross and other Western countries.

But even if he understood this, he could only go along.

Losing the land in the east and gaining the land in the west, they didn’t suffer a lot from this deal.

After all, those desolate snowfields are not of much value to him.

“Your Majesty means to send a mission to Da Song?” Chester said.

Nicholas nodded, “If Da Song wants to cooperate with the country of Ross, he will not refuse this request.” After

a pause, he continued: “This time the mission must include influential nobles.”

” Yes, Your Majesty.” Chester replied.

Naturally, they couldn’t agree to Da Song’s request immediately.

The return visit can not only delay the time, but also understand Dasong on the spot, so it is the right choice.

After talking to Nicholas again, Chester went back.

On the same day, he conveyed Nicholas’ meaning to Dong An.

Dong An had anticipated this point, and agreed to Nicholas’ request to send envoys to Yancheng.

However, he will not go back for the time being, but just let an official from the Department of Foreign Affairs go to Dasong with the Russian delegation.

He decided to stay in Petersburg.

In this way, after the Russian delegation returns, they can directly sign the contract.

At the same time, during this period, he was also able to understand the real situation of the Western Turk countries on the spot and provide information for the next strategy.
