108 White Flag
Why did Li Wei like these traditional feudal aristocrats?
It is because the ideas of these traditional feudal aristocrats have lagged behind the times and are very easy to appease!
As long as there are enough land and serfs, these traditional feudal aristocrats will praise Li Wei!
Compared with those greedy capitalist classes, traditional feudal aristocrats were like great charitable people in Li Wei's eyes.
Now Li Wei doesn’t need to consider the people’s livelihood economy, so he naturally doesn’t mind building a monopoly business group that lays golden eggs for himself. What’s more, the boss of this business group has been systematically enlightened as an ‘administrator’ and is absolutely loyal to Li Wei!
How respected Wallace is by Li Wei, how could Karnol and others not know?
That's why they didn't think about surrendering to Li Wei!
Confronting Li Wei and protecting the family industry in the Normandy region is the fundamental interests of Kanore, the liberal aristocrats. Even if the full-power Speaker Senavi wants to refute them in this regard, they will stand up and resist.
In addition, Karnol, the capitalists dressed in the cloak of aristocrats, are essentially different from pure capitalists like Senavi.
To put it bluntly, Senavi is a businessman, or an investor who plays industrial production. The family power behind it is based on him, not Senavi relies on his family!
On the other hand, those liberal aristocrats occupied more industrial and commercial resources than pure capitalists, and also interfered in military affairs. The families behind them have been passed down and accumulated for hundreds of years and have deep roots!
If the Wallace Business Alliance wants to monopolize the Normandy region in commercial areas, these liberal aristocrats will definitely not be able to get around the threshold, and then Li Wei has only two options.
Share the profits earned with the local liberal aristocratic bourgeoisie, or uproot them and swallow them into their stomachs!
Obviously, the domineering Li Wei tends to the latter.
This is something that Kanoll and his group cannot tolerate. The liberal aristocrats in the Brittany region had this fate before, and they did not even have the opportunity to become traditional feudal aristocrats...
On the other hand, although pure capitalists like Senavi are very rich, their foundation is not solid and their family power is not very powerful.
The most important thing is that people like Senavi can make a decision on their family. Li Wei's control of Senavi is equivalent to controlling the entire industrial chain behind him, which is much more convenient than the complex liberal aristocrats.
If the foundation is not solid, it means it is easier to control and you don’t have to uproot and swallow it.
Therefore, Livi's acceptance of people like Senavi is much higher than that of liberal aristocrats.
To put it bluntly, in the current Kingdom of France, the ones who obtain the most benefits are not those pure capitalists, but liberal aristocracy. It was precisely because of this that the Legislative Assembly of the Kingdom of France supported pure local capitalists as speakers and used them to form a political balance with the powerful liberal aristocracy.
Of course, there is also a political intention to suppress the constitutional monarchy. After all, liberal aristocrats are generally supporters of the constitutional monarchy.
The government operating agencies of Levi's Brittany region are all on the surface. They have also known the actions of the entire Brittany region before.
Therefore, Senave has the possibility of surrender, but Kanore and his group of people will never surrender to Li Wei unless they really abandon their family and are willing to be a cow or a horse for Li Wei.
Nowadays, there are many children and backbone members of the guerrillas in the Brittany region who come from local liberal aristocrats.
On the contrary, most of the ordinary capitalists who have no aristocratic status and have a weak foundation have been subdued by the Wallace Business Alliance.
Now the Wallace Business Alliance in the Brittany region is equivalent to the liberal nobles in the Kingdom of France under the control of the Paris government, and gradually monopolize the industry of industry, commerce and financial industries.
The only difference is that the Wallace Business Alliance is small and united, while the liberal aristocratic capitalists in the Kingdom of France are strong and complex.
Carl, who was rectifying the army and inspecting the camp, suddenly received a report from the guards. Several peace talks holding white flags walked out of the third line of defense.
In this era, the white flag does not mean surrender. The official comment is truce (it sounds better than surrender!).
Of course, those who appear on the battlefield holding a white flag usually represent the meaning of temporary ceasefire negotiations. Army with a little character will not shoot at those who hold a white flag...
Of course, if the defenders of Caen were really willing to surrender, Carl would be very happy.
Yesterday's night battle and the crazy counterattack launched by Karnol during the day, although the First Division led by Carl won, it also lost a lot of troops.
On the panel of Levi's Total War System, the number of guard infantry decreased from 17,800 to 16,600.
Due to the large number of prisoners of war captured, Carl was organizing an auxiliary force from the local garrison troops from the Brittany region to transport the prisoners of war to the rear towns.
In fact, the number of prisoners captured by the First Division of the Black Dragon Legion was much higher than the enemies they killed, including the enemy wounded who finished the blow!
After Carl had a pleasant conversation with the negotiator who was holding the white flag, the team of messengers returned immediately.
Not long after, Kanore and a group of liberal noble generals rushed into Senavi's office with weapons, and even the guards could not stop it!
"Sir Speaker, I heard that you intend to surrender to Carl of Levi's rebels. I want to be sure if this is the case."
When you walk out of the third line of defense, you can't read it wrong. Kanore's statement is actually giving Senavi a step.
As long as Senavi opens his eyes and talks lies and does not admit the surrender and peace talks, Senavi will still be the full authority of the Speaker!
Senavi seemed to have already anticipated the behavior of the liberal noble generals, and slowly sipped a mouthful of coffee from America and said with a smile: "I did not surrender."
After hearing this, Kanoll and his group's face suddenly calmed down.
However, Senavi didn't finish his words!
Senavi looked at the change of faces of Kanore and his group with interest, and continued: "I just don't want Caen to become a hell on earth!"
Karnol's face suddenly froze, and the contrast of being tricked suddenly ignited his anger.
"Speaker Senavi, you are treason!
Betrayal of the great and sacred Paris Revolution!
Li Wei is a corrupt old noble who acted against the enemy. Have you forgotten who gave you your current status?!"
After hearing this, Senavi shook his head slightly and sighed: "If you weren't as incompetent as you were, how could I take this step?
