Chapter 927 Blocked

(PS: I'm late in update, apologize!!)

Before leaving, Violet had to Ouyang Shuo give him a face-to-face message, knowing that Daxia did not want to have a dispute with the Mediterranean countries, the aggressiveness at the negotiating table was just a gesture.

Since the Mediterranean lord invited Queen Calia, Violet naturally stopped. In this way, not only did he achieve the purpose of negotiation, but he also returned a favor to Queen Calia.

Based on this point, I think the Mediterranean lords will pay more attention to Queen Calia in the future.

Violet let go, and the trade negotiations between the two sides made breakthrough immediately and the details were soon finalized. Unexpectedly, just as the two sides were preparing to sign the contract, the Daxia negotiating team suddenly received an urgent letter.

The urgent document brought the king's edict, and the content was also very concise, "The City of Caesars is not within the scope of this negotiation, and all ports of the Great Xia Dynasty will not be open to the City of Caesars."

After seeing it, Violet rubbed his forehead, "This condition is really... so great and satisfying!"

The one who picks the most, speaks the most sarcastic, and has the greatest hostility towards Daxia is the self-righteous Caesar, which annoys Violet.

If we talk about which of the Mediterranean lords is the most annoying, it must be Caesar.

During the Somalia War, as soon as Daxia encountered setbacks, Caesar publicly declared, "Daxia's military and militaries caused turmoil and uneasy to the Mediterranean and its surrounding areas, and today's defeat is retribution."

Now, the Somalia National War ended with a complete victory in Daxia. It was not Daxia who was really retribution, but Caesar. It was really unhappy to be retribution.

"Look at how you make a fool of yourself tomorrow." Violet snorted and was in a happy mood.

…………

Atlantis City, conference room.

That morning, negotiators from both sides gathered together to prepare to sign the final trade agreement.

All the main members of the Great Xia delegation arrived, while the Mediterranean sent Henry, Casillas and Caesar to a group of heavyweight lords.

Henry is also a representative of the Mediterranean.

The difficult negotiations finally ushered in the final signing. Both members were in a good mood. Even Caesar put away his usual bad face and talked and laughed with other Mediterranean lords.

There is no doubt that the signing of the trade agreement will benefit all Mediterranean territory, and Caesar is no exception. With money, Caesar can realize his ambitions.

The previous aggressiveness in the negotiation process was nothing more than what Caesar wanted and was more greedy than Henry and others.

After all, Caesar is not a fool.

Caesar's hostility to the Great Xia Dynasty and his prejudice against Ouyang Shuo were nothing more than racial prejudice in his bones. Caesar, who claimed to be a descendant of the ancient Roman Empire, could not stand the yellow race as a blessing.

As a witness to both sides, Kariya presided over the signing ceremony.

The atmosphere at the scene was quite harmonious at the beginning. Until the introduction of representatives of both sides, Violet followed suit and said with a smile: "Before the formal signing of the agreement, I will announce something on behalf of Daxia."

"Speaking!"

Kalia was a little surprised. This was not within the process.

Henry and others on the opposite side also trembled in their hearts, "Can Daxia go back on her word?" With the destruction of Somalia, Daxia took absolute dominance in this negotiation, and Henry and others were not allowed to worry.

Caesar jumped out and frowned and said, "Be a person, be trustworthy."

Violet looked at Caesar with a smile and said, "After my king's order, Daxia signed a trade agreement with the Mediterranean territories this time, not including Caesar's city."

"What did you say?" As soon as Violet finished speaking, Caesar exploded immediately, his eyes sharp, as if he wanted to eat people. This incident really caught Caesar off guard.

Violet's expression remained unchanged and said, "The Daxia caravan will not stay at the port of Caesar City. Similarly, all ports in Daxia are not open to the Caesar City caravan. Do I understand what I mean?"

"You are too bullying!" Caesar was furious.

Violet said: "In view of some of the extremely unfriendly remarks made by Lord Caesar recently, Daxia does not think there is still a need to continue to cooperate with Caesar City."

“…”

Caesar's expression stagnated, his face turned red, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak.

The other Mediterranean lords were originally confused by Daxia's sudden actions. After listening to Violet's explanation, they suddenly realized that the root cause was.

Caesar's public remarks against Daxia not long ago were all clear here.

Caesar was afraid that he would never have dreamed that he would lose huge benefits for a moment of pleasure. Basically, without the cooperation of Daxia, the caravans in Caesar City could not reach the east at all.

This would be a devastating blow to the ocean trade in Caesars.

All the lords here feel sorry for Caesar and gloat about the city. For example, Henry and others, seeing Caesar being defeated, they are so happy.

At the same time, they were also a little shocked by Daxia's thunder methods. From this point of view, Daxia is definitely not the kind of character who is bullied and never fight back, and he is holding a grudge.

Ouyang Shuo's move also means killing a chicken to warn the monkey.

Caesar was a hero after all, so he quickly calmed down and said in a slight manner: "Since Daxia is unwilling to cooperate with Caesar City, is there any need to sign this agreement?! You are blatantly provoking the Mediterranean and playing with us lords as monkeys." Caesar was going to drag the entire Mediterranean lords into the water.

Unfortunately, Violet was not fooled.

"Caesar is Caesar, and it cannot represent the entire Mediterranean." Violet glanced at Caesar jokedly, "Daesar has always been sincere in cooperation with the Mediterranean. And you must have felt this sincerity. Even if Daesar has an advantage, he will never be willing to be aggressive."

Recalling the concession of Daxia, the Mediterranean lord nodded unconsciously.

Only Caesar's face became more and more gloomy.

Violet continued: "But the premise of cooperation is mutual trust, and no one is willing to cooperate with the enemy. Since Lord Caesar had publicly opposed Daxia before, he obviously had no intention of cooperating with Daxia, right?"

“…”

Caesar was run over by violets and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.

In terms of the harsh words, I am afraid that no one here can compare to the little fairy Violet. With his charming eyes, what he said is enough to make people vomit blood.

Caesarem said coldly: "Since that's the case, the Daxia caravans can't even pass through the Mediterranean."

Depending on the situation, Caesar was preparing to make a desperate attempt. The Italian area where Caesar is located is located in the middle of the Mediterranean. If the Roman fleet under Caesar harasses Daxia merchant ships, the impact will be great.

Violet was confident, turned to Henry and others, and said, "The prerequisite for signing a trade agreement between Daxia and the Mediterranean is that you must ensure the safety of Daxia merchant ships sailing in the Mediterranean. I think you are unwilling to influence the situation in the entire Mediterranean because of the selfish behavior of a certain territory, right?"

Henry was silent.

The meaning of Violet's words actually involves a more sensitive topic. That is, after the Atlantic Fleet in Daxia withdraws from the Mediterranean and gives up dominance, who will control the sea control of the Mediterranean?

The most competitive ones are the Gallic fleet under Henry, Caesar's Roman fleet and Casilla's Spanish Invincible Fleet.

Among the three major fleets, the Roman fleet was the latest, and compared with Spain and France, Italy is not a traditional maritime overlord, so it is the weakest.

The Gaul fleet was originally comparable to the Spanish Invincible Fleet, but in the battle of Morocco, the Spanish Invincible Fleet joined the war with confidence, but unexpectedly, it was destroyed by a mine from Daxia.

After the war, the Spanish Invincible Fleet, which lost nearly half of the warships, suddenly became the weakest among the three fleets, and was not even as good as the Roman fleet, and was sad.

Henry's Gallic fleet "sits for its success" and suddenly became the strongest fleet in the Mediterranean. It has to be said that among the lords of the Mediterranean, Henry is the most "crawling".

No wonder some people say that Henry is a fox that doesn't scream.

Henry could not understand the meaning of Violet's words. If Henry and other Mediterranean lords acquiesced to the Roman fleet to harass the Daxia caravan, it would not only affect the trade exchanges between Daxia and the Mediterranean territories, but also damage the Gallic fleet's dominance in the Mediterranean.

No matter which one is unacceptable to Henry.

No one can make a step back when it comes to the control of the Mediterranean. More importantly, the smart Henry keenly captured a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity from the words of Violet.

Although the lords of the Mediterranean are united in hating the enemy and being unanimous to the outside world, they actually have their own plans. The trade negotiations have been twists and turns, and various opinions and factions are entangled.

One thing is clear.

That is, the lords who are doing this will never want to break up with Daxia because of Caesar City and break up with Daxia. They will follow them on the boat and break up with Daxia collectively.

The negotiations between territories are not about playing houses, but involve real commercial interests. Otherwise, how could they bother to negotiate with the Daxia negotiating team until now?

No one is living Lei Feng.

Violet's words can be seen as sow discord or as an opportunity, an opportunity to isolate Caesar with interests as a bond and sign trade agreements as an opportunity to lead other Mediterranean territories.

To put it bluntly, if Caesar really had to arrange for the Roman fleet to harass Daxia merchant ships as he said, and if the trade foundation between Daxia and the Mediterranean was completely destroyed, the jobs of other Mediterranean territories were destroyed.

No one will accept this horror.

The Mediterranean lords here are all smart people, and they soon woke up and looked at Caesar with a bad look.

When Caesar saw this, his heart trembled and he had a bad premonition.

Henry glanced at a lord in obscurely, who was his secret ally.

The lord immediately stood up and said, "Caesar, you cannot represent the Mediterranean, and you cannot act on your own and destroy the interests of the entire Mediterranean because of your own benefit. That's too selfish."

"What did you say, I'm selfish?" Caesar was angry.

"What is it not selfish to harm others but not to benefit oneself?"
