Chapter 51
According to normal understanding, the first visit of the Federal delegation to the Norman Empire was an "icy-breaking journey" for the two countries to resume normal diplomatic relations after the war. It has great practical significance and commemorative value. The supreme leader of the Norman Empire should have received them in an appropriate way, but the rumored seriously ill Hohenstaufen IV did not appear, but the new crown prince Albert received them in high standards in the Royal Hall.
Prince Balas, who had attended the official meeting between the two sides, also appeared on the same stage. One of the brothers was in charge of government affairs and the other held military power. They looked at the combination of both literature and martial arts, and the two swords were combined. However, even politicians like Weiss, who were just starting out, understood the truth that one mountain could not withstand two tigers. Therefore, he felt that this "two kings" configuration could not be a long-term combination. Even if Balas was willing to assist Albert, the new crown prince would not be assured that the military power of this country was in the hands of another person, even if they were brothers connected by blood.
Out of great curiosity, Weiss carefully looked at the two royal young men. Before becoming the new crown prince, Albert was said to be a very low-key person, but now he has a true appearance, which is indeed "different". He is tall, with beautiful eyebrows and good looks and temperament, but he does not wear military uniforms or military dresses all day long like Balas, but wears a wide robe with national characteristics. The texture of this robe should be of excellent fur, with a light white overall, and sometimes with black and gold patterns, which looks a heavy sense of ritual, without losing its graceful and luxurious appearance.
The Norman royal tone was as ups and downs as music, and the Prince Albert's voice was gentle but not weak, and the texture of his own made the listener feel like he was bathed in spring breeze. According to rumors, the new Prince suffered from an incurable genetic disease, which caused his lifespan to be very short, which seemed to be an indelible curse for the Norman royal family for hundreds of years. Perhaps it was this incurable genetic disease that made him and Bass coexist. Weiss noticed that the two of them seemed to have frequent eye interactions, which shows that the relationship between the brothers was indeed closer than that of ordinary partners, but it could also be a reflection of their outstanding acting skills... Who knows?
When he went deep into the scene, Weiss certainly would not miss the opportunity to observe in depth. Using his special vision, he collected individual data from these two actual rulers of the Norman Empire. Compared with seeing Balas during the war, his various indicators have risen steadily and are in good condition, especially at the spiritual level. Albert is a person with clear numerical advantages and disadvantages. His mental value is stronger than Balas, but his body is much inferior to Balas in both combat and action - just the level of an ordinary adult.
Unlike Prince Balas who can speak fluent Ulster, Crown Albert spoke Norman throughout the whole process, so every member of the federal delegation had a written speech. Through paper correspondence with Albert's speech, people can basically understand what the new crown prince of the Norman Empire was meant, but for most members of the delegation, this method would still feel awkward. Weiss' Norman expression and writing ability were still a bit less meaningful, but it was not a problem to listen to it. Therefore, from his perspective, it can be seen that this Albert is indeed a very well-educated and quick-witted character. He has a big mind and big pattern that young people rarely have. If the Norman Empire was ruled for a long time, his willingness to use force to expand externally may have been reduced a lot. After all, international competition is not only a channel of war, trade competition, peaceful evolution and other methods can also defeat opponents.
After the speech, the crown prince retired in advance on the grounds of having official duties, leaving Prince Balas and Duke of Walk, the Prime Minister of the Norman Empire, to continue the diplomatic meeting between the two sides. This meeting was the most formal and meaningful time of the trip. Both sides put various wishes and suggestions on the table for face-to-face consultations, including opening resident visas, providing trade convenience, strengthening scientific and technological exchanges, and carrying out medical cooperation. In the delegation, members with certain authority in their respective fields made long and short speeches one after another. Principal Vanluo gave a wonderful speech on the historical relationship and realistic positioning of the two sides, and General Evans was the Federation.
Representative officials of local governments made some expressions on the development and trade of local economy. His speech was more formal and vague than during the Governor General's General Meeting. His core view was that trade cooperation between the two sides could improve the living standards of residents, and specifically mentioned the fabrics, clothing and textile technology produced by the Norman Empire, and of course jewelry craftsmanship, which could bring tangible benefits to the federal people. The various types of federal industrial products, such as vehicles, motorcycles, equipment, etc., were also a good supplement to the residents of the Norman Empire - this was a suggestion based on what they heard and understood during this visit.
The Prime Minister of the Norman Empire, Duke Walk, felt like a senior housekeeper. He looked like he was 50 years old and might be almost 60 years old. His performances were very steady throughout the audience, but the other side of his steady performance was that he lacked enough energy and his thinking was not as leaping as the younger generation. He finally made a summary speech, which was comprehensive but not very good, and did not show a glimpse. At the welcome banquet the night before, Prince Balas had made a very good speech, speaking in Ulster, so he did not make a long speech during this meeting. Judging from the results of the meeting, the ice-breaking journey of the Federal Gang delegation basically achieved
In the purpose, they not only understood the current situation of the Norman Empire, but also put forward many practical suggestions for the two sides to enhance cooperation and promote the normalization of diplomatic relations. The Normans also made principled answers to most of these suggestions, but this was not the final and perfect ending. That night, at the Norman Royal Theater, the top singers from both sides appeared on stage. Gunnievil once again sang her famous song, using her natural sound to give spiritual baptism to the senior officials and people of the upper class of the Norman Empire. She went all out and reached a very ideal state in this state. Her expression in this theater was like the most shining star among the stars, shining with light...
Under various explicit and implied by the federal delegation, the next day, the major newspapers of the Norman Empire published this special song and dance party, and praised Gunnieville, a famous female singer from the Ulster Free Federation. Not only that, they also asked Gunnieville to infuse a record, including many songs such as "Looking Up at the Stars" on these records. Due to the short time, Gunnieville only had more than one day to infuse the records, and the work was very hard, but she completed the task well. When the infuse the records were auditioned by Weiss and other major members of the federal delegation, everyone said that the effect was perfect. With this record, the ice-breaking journey came to a perfect end. No one expected that a very unexpected situation would happen shortly after the delegation returned to the Federation successfully... Gunnieville disappeared!
This surprising news was not conveyed from the police department, but from the call from Octavell to Weiss' office... This female hero still serves in the Federal Army's Secret Service. In the wave of large-scale layoffs of federal troops after the war, the special service units with special status and heavy responsibilities were probably not weakened, but also because of the abolition of ordinary troops, it became a "remote path" for many elites to continue their military careers. Therefore, in the first year after the war, the quality of the troops supplemented by the Secret Service units was significantly improved compared with the war period.
On the phone, Octavell said concisely. She felt that Guneville's incident was likely to be related to the Normans. If Guneville wanted to leave the Federation, there was a considerable probability of leaving Lorraine. She did not ask for what Weiss did, nor did she make clear suggestions. But after saying this, Weiss knew exactly what to do: from Lorraine to the Norman Empire, in the past, it was necessary to cross snow-capped mountains and walk rugged and difficult roads. Now there is a very convenient way, that is, Bellakashe Airport.
In this era when X-ray machines were only used in high-end laboratories, it was not easy to get through border checkpoints. In an international trade airport like Bella Katha, cargoes must be subject to extremely strict manual inspections during the transfer process. In order to ensure that there is no omission, all cargoes must be parked in a tightly regulated centralized parking area for at least three or five days after they arrive at the airport. The cargo that is difficult to conduct comprehensive screening will even be parked for more than a week, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of people hiding through cargo entrained people. However, these strict measures do not mean that there are no management loopholes, although Bella Katha is a federal army
The team, the Ministry of Security and local governments jointly managed, but Normandy and the Kingdom of Basel have staff stationed here, and contact and communication between personnel are inevitable. As long as external personnel arrange a response, they have a chance to use the opportunity to rotate and confuse the public and leave the country secretly. General Seedlinz swaggeredly spyed on the federal military information and then came to Bella Kathar and returned to the Norman Empire with the official delegation attending the celebration. Even if the Federation noticed it, there was no way to stop it - although these were just Weiss' speculation, it also fully proved that the Normans' IQ was enough to complete this difficult "stolen day and exchange".
