Chapter 55 Recognition (Seeking Monthly Pass)
In Egil's plan, what he needed was to firmly control the Sinai Peninsula and open up artificial canals that communicate the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. On the Mediterranean, Cyprus and Malta were used as the fulcrum. Plus the Crimean Peninsula at the mouth of the Black Sea, the right to freely pass through the Dardanelles.
Coupled with the powerful offshore fleet, Egil woven with great difficulty, the trade route to the East has begun to show signs.
And this plan... there are still two obstacles left... One is the two city-states of Milan and Venice, which have the tradition of navigation and trade. The other is the Eastern Roman Empire, which also has strong naval strength and strong comprehensive national strength.
At this time, southern Italy was replaced. In addition to the Norman Emperor's claim to the Holy Roman Empire. Then the northern Italian city-states, Milan and Venice, the two world's largest second-trafficking dealers, had only one way out: to fight the Norman Emperor, see if Egil was in good mood, and reward them with some leftovers. And when he got Syria and thought he had taken advantage of it, the Eastern Roman Empire would definitely be involved in the destruction war with the ancient disasters, and there was no need to worry about it.
This is Egil's complete plan. He used a territory that would be captured by the ancients at any time in exchange for Italy, which means more significance to him. He eliminated one of his competitors and strengthened the supervision of the other two vassal states. He was a trick at one stroke.
"Last night, I was flirting with the little girl. Today I'm so cruel........., tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk... This is what you men can do."
At that time, although Lili Annu did not agree at the first time, saying that he would leave it to her father Basil II to decide. However, according to the information obtained by Egil, Basil II would never refuse to agree to this matter. Egil seemed very happy because of this. However, just when Egil was very happy, Aurora's ironic words did not hide at all, and it reached Egil's mind.
"You are the one who is the one who is the one who is in charge of Sisi. I am not only the lover of Lili Annu, but also the emperor of the Norman Empire." After the matter was over, Egil was joking with Lili Annu. But the other party was obviously absent-minded, and he might have thought of something inappropriate. At this time, when he heard Aurora's words, Egil replied.
"Tsk, it sounds nice." Aurora, who was far away in Krakow, rolled her eyes in a charming manner and snorted softly. The maid standing beside her was straight. Aurora knew her good character, a cheap brother. It was really good when it was good, and even Shi Dan could not compare to him when it was bad. The Eastern Roman princess fell in love with such a person and was considered to be half-bad.
"But, isn't this the same thing in this palace..." As for others, Aurora Yuli Annu thought of herself, and the gods couldn't help but feel a little dim. Such a behavior made the maid beside her scream.
"What's wrong?" Aurora asked in a strange way.
"No, nothing." The maid took a moment of slowing down and plucked up the courage to say this: "I just saw you, Your Highness, and you seemed a little upset. So I couldn't help but feel sad." "Is that true?" When the maid said this, Aurora felt a little funny.
I asked this question, but I didn't expect the maid to nod her head immediately and swore to the sky.
"It's so! It's definitely so. Even if I'm a woman, I'll be immersed in it after seeing a beauty like Your Highness. I'm stuck with your beauty!"
"Can even women be misoyed by my beauty?" Even Aurora felt a little happy after hearing this. But soon became melancholy again. Then, the noble Princess of Norman asked the maid again: "You say, since I am so beautiful, will there be men in this world who are not as charming as my God?" "Absolutely, there will be no!" The maid replied confidently, which made Aurora happier.
"It's just." However, after a short smile, Aurora sighed again: "In fact, there are really men in this world who can disdain me..., just treat me like a tool..."
After hearing what Aurora said, the maid didn't talk to her anymore. Instead, she lowered her head and looked at the tiles.
But he was thinking in his heart: "Who is your Highness talking about?"
At the same time, a scum who is likely to be the number one beauty in Europe and even the world as a tool and reproductive machine is talking to another nest of bandits and rebellious messengers.
Before sending Lili Annu away, Egil asked, inviting Lili Annu to have lunch with her. But at this moment, Lili Annu had something to do, and his eyes became complicated when he looked at Egil. He shook his head and declined Egil's invitation, and went back to his room to think about it. Egil was relieved and knew that a big deal had been finalized. He had lost another trouble in his residence. He couldn't help but feel a little happy. Look at the time.
It was over 9:40. It was still long before lunch. Artoria was still working hard. She practiced so much that even if she didn't practice a lot, she could still develop two abdominal muscles. But Egil had been moaning for so many years. It was really incomprehensible.
So, while there was still time, Egil decided to solve another problem and called the envoy of Prince William of Switzerland over.
The messenger Sanjuro was aged. Although he was wearing aristocratic clothes and his hair and beard were also fiddled with. However, his mud was completely scented. Egil also sounded particularly awkward.
However, Egil was still concerned about this force, which is the most powerful force in Europe. Although he looked down on the envoy, his attitude was pretty good. He heard that man’s bitterness say nothing more than how much Burgundy exploited Switzerland. How unfair the Swiss had to rebel. In fact, we are all great good people and so on. Egil was deeply troubled: “A small rebellion every three years, and a big rebellion every five years. You have the good reputation to say this. If you are good people, I will be the Holy Lord.”
However, when I thought so in my heart, Egil looked like he empathy on the surface. He comforted the Swiss messenger for a while. Even when the other party said the emotional part, he saw that the emperor's eyes were bright and tears were faintly visible. The messenger couldn't help but secretly praised: "I am worthy of being the emperor. I thought that even if I could pretend to be someone who could pretend to be. Who would have thought that this emperor was much better than me. I really couldn't compare, I couldn't compare."
In this way, one is willing to use it and the other is willing to cling to it. The two are soon joined together.
Egil agreed to support Switzerland's affairs. He said: "You don't have to worry about Burgundy. King Charles wants to sell me for this." These words were said. The Swiss envoy also patted his promise that Switzerland would join the Holy Roman Empire as a state of ** in the future, and Egil was the lord.
Of course, this is just a cheap saying. In the past, these vassals, except for fighting, they can be handed over to the lords in diplomacy, and other things are basically arbitrary. Egil cannot receive a copper coin from the Swiss, nor can they manage the Swiss national affairs. This loose management method is not only the Swiss, but also the several vassals whom Egil has newly collected in the Holy Roman Empire, Hessen, Brandenburg, Austria, Bavaria, and Milan. Even said that Burgundy, which is almost completely exclusive, is all used in this management method. It is worse than the Duchy of Moscow that Egil has acquired in Eastern Europe.
However, at this stage, this is the only way.
After that, Egil called the clerk Talleyran to come over and drafted a treaty that stipulated the feudal rights and obligations of both sides. He handed it over to the Swiss envoy for a while. The envoy looked carefully for a while and felt that there was no problem. He nodded and put it away, saying that he wanted to take it back for his boss to see. The matter was over.
So, at noon, Egil ran back and had lunch with Artoria. After noon, Artoria was going to take a nap. Egil got out again and went to the study room.
Ask someone to call Charlie of Burgundy and tell him about his support for Switzerland.
Originally, Egil thought that he was the old boy's character, and after hearing Egil say such words, I don't know how to make a fuss. However, the king just smiled bitterly a few times.
There was no dissatisfaction at all. This surprised Egil. He couldn't help but ask: "This... do you have no objection at all? You know, we are friends. Things between friends can be discussed."
"If you don't have any objection, how could you have any objection to the land of Switzerland? Just like what Your Majesty said before, there are chaos every three years and chaos every five years. And this chaos almost cost my coffin. I was old and couldn't move. When I defeated France this time, there were no enemies outside. Just like this, Egil seemed to have not known this king. From the first anti-Norman League to the present, Egil has known him for several years. He has fought side by side many times. In his impression, Charlie is always the brave and careful vanguard who dares to act. He has great ability and a big temper. But he really didn't expect that he would say such things today.
Looking at the old king's gray temples, Egil sighed secretly: "After today, another opponent was missing on the Norman conquest"!
