Public trial?You deserve it too!

"No, it's a little troublesome. On the Charles side, although I made Gorman into a 120% excited state, I also believe in their latent and foreshadowing results, but the timing of the final action needs to be adjusted." If I'm stuck in time, if I'm not in the imperial capital, I won't be able to keep an eye on the situation, and I won't be able to give a detailed instruction..."

[Then is there a way to refuse? 】

"Impossible, I have no reason to stay in the imperial capital, the old emperor almost fed the food into my mouth, I can't even chew it - it seems that I can only leave two tips for them first. If there is really no way, let Gorman and Shire follow my formula, and adapt to the situation when the time comes, hoping to achieve the expected goal."

Claude sighed, the plan always fails to keep up with the changes.

That is him, he has long been used to his miraculous physique, and he always prepares countermeasures in advance, otherwise everyone will be caught blind.

Learn from Me: Chapter 196 Chapter 180 Human Evil, Appear

Along the northern coastline of the empire, all the way to the west, at the end of the Messiah Strait, the mainland protrudes out of a corner here.The rough and majestic granite coast and the flat and warm sandy beach achieve a wonderful harmony here, just like the unique local pancakes with ouzo, the regional customs of the Brittany Peninsula always make people unable to help but indulge in it.

Of course, for some people, these are just things that he discards as nothing, and if he can get rid of them one day as soon as possible, he will be willing to pay all the price for them.

At this time, Charles Breton, who was sitting opposite Gorman, was undoubtedly such a person.

"Is there any news from the imperial capital?"

There was a bit of relief on Charles' face. After all, as an unqualified spy, he was under a lot of pressure here. Hearing the direct gaze from afar at this time, he felt a kind of relaxation in his heart unconsciously.

"En." Gorman nodded, but his expression was still serious, "Your training is not enough, don't show this expression whenever you talk about this kind of thing, it will create a hidden pressure on you Releasing dependencies is definitely not a good thing for your dormant tasks."

"You have to be considerate of me. Those aristocratic courses are really torturous. Why do these guys pay so much attention to appearances? It's like my etiquette teacher, who is obviously too poor to eat, but still pays attention to this A self-defeating thing called [noble elegance]?"

Although Charles was complaining, his face had returned to the original cold expression. Obviously, he did not contradict Gorman's admonition, and he was not completely satisfied with the aristocratic etiquette courses in the past few months. fool.

"Because this is the only thing they have left, and their inner self-esteem does not allow them to let themselves live like ordinary people."

Gorman's explanation is uninteresting, but the irony is evident in every line.However, these were all episodes. Now that he had fully recovered his physique as a warrior, he took out a piece of paper from his chest and handed it to Charles, who immediately took it over and carefully read the content on it.

[Please pay attention to the movements of the army and knights in the Principality of Brittany. The battle for the crown prince in the imperial capital may come to an end in the near future. The defeat of the great prince Augustus is certain, and there may be crazy moves.Although you need to be cautious in your actions, you must be bold when things come to an end, and you must seize the critical moment to start an incident. 】

[When Charles takes office, he needs to use a pseudonym. I have attached all the information about the Duke of Brittany’s son who is still studying in the imperial capital. You must keep in mind that this is a necessary prerequisite if you want to be able to escape the shell in the future. 】

The information below is all about that "good brother" of Charles, from his name to his personal hobbies, habits, and language style. It is very detailed. At a glance, he can tell that it must be the file records of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau.

"Your Excellency Claude even helped me think of a way out...but I haven't even taken the first step yet..."

Charles sighed, feeling a little sorry in his heart.

"Actually, the first step has already been taken." Gorman shook his head, "I have already received a response from the secret contact with the Chamber of Commerce - the Chamber of Commerce expressed that it is willing to discuss with you about the succession of the Grand Duke. Have an in-depth exchange."

"Really?"

A look of joy appeared on the man's face, and then he quickly disappeared: "Well, this is good news - after all, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as we can make the first contact, then there will be one or two in the following things."

"Very good, at least you can already have a preliminary awareness of the city. Not showing your emotions or anger is the most basic requirement, but there are still things you can do to be more subtle."

Gorman praised.

"After all, I've learned this every day since I came here, and you told me that I have maintained this way here." Charles shook his head, "I won't talk about that—did those people say when they will meet you? ?”

"A week later, a new smuggling ship will arrive from the Merchant Alliance. At that time, a person in charge of contact will come ashore. We just wait for the other party to come to us."

Charles' eyes darkened, and a short sentence can show how terrifying the business alliance has in the Principality of Brittany - they are confident that they can hide from the eyeliner of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau and the Grand Duke of Brittany, and directly contact To his nominal second in line heir.

"It's really well prepared."

Charles sneered and looked at Gorman.

"What do I need to do?"

"You need to pretend to be exaggerated," Gorman said.

"Exaggeration?"

"Yes, it's better to be like a schizophrenic maniac, while maintaining an aristocratic demeanor on the surface, and at the same time be like an ordinary person who is tortured to the point of madness by the desire for power-use extreme arrogance to cover up your identity. The inferiority complex that arises, such a person is the lunatic who is most likely to choose to put all his eggs in one basket."

"... I seem to understand. I just want to pretend to be the kind of gambler who is willing to use his underwear as a bargaining chip?"

Charles pondered for a while, then asked aloud.

"Almost, after all, this will convince the Chamber of Commerce that you really have that crazy plan." Gorman nodded, "This will also make the other party unpredictable how to control you, and then naturally, they will Set your sights on the one person who can sway your decisions—me.”

"After this is my praise - I will let them know that I am actually a double-faced villain, and my attitude towards betrayal and betrayal is only a matter of how much money is added, not whether I can betray."

Gorman's tone remained calm, as if what he said had nothing to do with him.

"That is to say, on the surface, you are negotiating with them, and what you have reached is a ostensible deal, but in essence, I am negotiating with them, and you have reached a secret deal, that is, under the fig leaf on the surface. Now, the filth and filth that is hidden will be discussed with me."

Charles listened silently. It was not that he didn't know the tricks among the nobles before. He also knew that this was something he would have to experience in the future. For the conscience of a normal person, he still faintly resisted.

But he knew he couldn't and shouldn't resist, so he forced himself to listen to Gorman's words with all his attention.

"The bottom line of your conditions on the surface is to jointly govern Brittany with the business alliance, allow the garrison to coordinate, allow the right of residence, allow the right to station in Hong Kong, and the government can also adopt the parliamentary system of the business alliance, but you can use it. The number of votes should be higher than the sum of the votes of the business alliance, and other things such as taxation rights, land, and minerals must also be in their own hands."

"This is to make the transaction more authentic - after all, you chose to cooperate with the Merchant Alliance for the sake of being in power and obtaining the Principality of Brittany. If you sell your power completely, the other party will suspect you instead. actual motives, it would be self-defeating.”

Gorman analyzed it carefully for Charles.

"On my side, I will reach an even more dirty treaty with the Chamber of Commerce behind your back - because I am a speculative careerist, and everything I call is money and power. So the sovereignty you want, I It can be sold cleanly, but it is more in line with my character to stick to the tax collection."

"That is to say, the business alliance can get more promises from me, and even these promises can be bound by superficial treaties-after all, it is a parliamentary system, and I will definitely control some of the votes. As long as the votes of the three parties are Any two parties together can be greater than the third party, then the business alliance can honorably fulfill the secret agreement."

Charles nodded slightly: "Let the business alliance think that they can make me suffer by manipulating votes, and they won't care about the contract with me on the surface. As long as they kill the parliamentary system, let them control my private army." If you join them, you can completely empty me out and leave me with only the title of a principality—after all, they still need this legal principle to fool those local citizens."

"Correct, of course this is just an expedient measure for the Merchant Alliance. If they can really gain a foothold here, they will recruit a small group of local residents, and then desperately crowd out and slaughter the rest to serve the Merchant Alliance. Make enough space for people. Then first slowly let you fade out of the sight of others, and then continue to buy some troops under my hands, and slowly reduce my right to speak, making the Brittany Commonwealth Council theirs One word."

Gorman seems to be very familiar with the means of the business alliance.

"In the future, when the number of members of the Merchant Alliance exceeds the number of people from the original Principality of Brittany—maybe they don't even need this fig leaf, because the votes are in their hands. At this time, they will conduct a referendum, Change the jurisprudence here to the business alliance, euphemistically called [National Self-determination], because they 'follow the common opinion of the people living here, and most of them are willing to become members of the business alliance', after all, they have those who are Indigenous residents, seduced by carrots, are placed in parliament as dazzling vases.

"At this time, they will proudly declare that this is another milestone leap forward for the parliamentary system, and then pretend to thank you in front of your tombstone, and express their willingness to set up a Thanksgiving Day, thanking the aborigines here for allowing them to settle on the mainland, and providing "Warm help" - in fact, the original inhabitants of Brittany should have been slowly killed by them."

Gorman's sermon was flat and boring. It was originally the kind of history class that would make people drowsy, but Charles was sweating profusely listening to it.

"They...will they really do this?"

"You should maybe look at who lived on the Messiah Islands, why there is not a country on it now, but an alliance. And, why the empire is so strict against the business alliance, those stationed in Why do the Screaming Soldiers in the Iberian Peninsula take hunting down the tentacles of the Merchant Alliance as a necessity of life like eating and sleeping."

Sharma nodded silently.

"Then it's settled. I will find an opportunity to rehearse two actual negotiation scenarios with you. Be careful not to let people see the clues."

The other party put an end to the secret conversation. Charles took away the information about the grand duke's son under the document, pushed the other parts back in front of Gorman, nodded at her, turned and left the room, and continued his speech. Performed for the stage play of The Heirs.

After the door opened and closed, Gorman, who was still sitting there, slowly picked up the piece of paper, biting, chewing, and swallowing it mouthful.

It's not winter now, the fireplace is not lit, and there will be smells and ashes that need to be disposed of when burning things. In this place full of spies from various forces, he can't allow any strange behavior of himself to become the object of suspicion.

Charles might wonder why Gorman knew what the Chamber of Commerce was doing—it was because he had heard exactly the same thing from Claude before.

If Shire was just sweating profusely and extremely disgusted in his heart, then Gorman's heart at that time was only boundless despair and fear, as well as the sadness and anger that were tearing his eyes.

Because Claude started his chat with him by

"Teach the Congress how to deal with the people of the Principality of Wallachia."

The former general immediately realized the horror and feasibility of this strategy. If you count the blood that was almost shed by the Wallachians under the fierce resistance of the Wallachians for more than ten years, then in just a few decades , his former motherland will become completely unfamiliar to him——

A place that is completely different from other lands in Theocracy!

"You're running out of time, General Galapash, who do you think can carry the banner of restoring the country after you're old? The little princess who is about to be crushed? Or that little Adelin?" Fu Ji'an's royal retainer? Or, do you prefer the Empire to replace the position of the Church?"

Claude's words were like a devil's mockery, causing fear to echo in Gorman's heart to this day.

"I know you are doubting whether my seemingly traitorous plan came from my superiors, whether it was written by the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, but what I want to tell you is that, whether it is or not, many people have no choice ——His Highness Ludwig does not, the Knight of Shire does not, and neither do I."

"So what do you think, do you have?"

No.

Gorman can only choose to be loyal to Claude.

Because other than that, no one, no force would choose to support him in recovering the Principality of Wallachia.

He could only trust this boy who was no different from a devil in his eyes—because at least in the last transaction with the other party, he really fulfilled his promise to himself.

Gorman finished eating the letter written by Claude to Charles, and took out another piece of paper from his arms. Unlike the letter full of knightly style that Charles received, it was overflowing with It is dirty and dirty, just like all the manifestations of evil in human politics.

That was Claude teaching him what a deal between a careerist and a business alliance should look like.

The man picked up the paper in his hand, opened his mouth mechanically, and bit off a piece of paper.

Learn from Me: Chapter 197 Chapter 180 Negotiation

"Nice to meet you, Monsieur Charles de Bretagne."

The man took off his two top hats, and politely bowed to Charles who was a few years younger than him.

However, Charles didn't give him a good face, but immediately became gloomy.

"But I'm not happy to see you."

The man didn't show offended at all, but nodded in a very reasonable manner: "I guess so, after all, I still look too young, anyway, a principality is involved, such a huge amount of land, The person who should have come here should be a respected and respected elderly person——do you think so?"

Charles didn't speak, but his face became more and more gloomy.

"But what I want to say is that in the Chamber of Commerce, old age means a comprehensive decline from physical strength to energy. The only commendable wisdom is just the reason why they are not abandoned-youth represents everything. Just like you Same, after all everything has a price, only time is nothing more than a purchase, what do you think?"

Only then did a gentle look appear on the face of the heir, and Charles stretched out his hand.

"Thank you for your approval, you can just call me Wellersley."

The smile on the man's face never disappeared.

-------------------------------------------------- -

"First of all, what I want to say is that the Merchant Alliance attaches great importance to having a foothold on the mainland. , I am very willing to reach some consensus with you, it is best to have a signed written agreement, but if there can only be an oral agreement, at least I can go back and make a deal."

To Shire's surprise, the man on the opposite side came up and handed over his bottom line for negotiation. He didn't behave like a merchant from a business alliance at all, but a stunned young man.

However, he didn't show any flaws, just a look of suspicion on his face, and then "very covertly" looked at each other with Gorman, and he didn't speak again until he got a signal from the other party that everything was normal.

Of course, all of this will fall into Wellersley's eyes, as long as this young man is really as capable as he said, then he will definitely not miss it.

"I also really want to get on line with you as soon as possible. After all, you are right in saying that time is precious to all of us."

Charles stared into the other's eyes.

"In this case, I think it's time to throw away those annoying bargains. Give me an offer. What is the Chamber of Commerce willing to pay?"

"The Chamber of Commerce is willing to fully support you to become the ruler of the Principality of Brittany, whether it is financial support or military support, as long as you propose it, we will use the fastest speed to complete all the procedures for the proposal—even if it is urgent If so, we will give you funding through the plan first, and then bring this matter to the parliament for discussion and approval."

Wellersley said sincerely.

"As long as you agree to change the political system to a parliamentary system after you succeed to the throne, and then issue a notice to your subordinates, saying that you are willing to jointly rule the Principality of Brittany with the members of the Merchant Alliance, so the members of the Merchant Alliance are allowed to be in Breton. Settling down on the Taney Peninsula, we will fully support you in assuming the position. From now, immediately, immediately, we can start."

It seems that the Chamber of Commerce is really in a hurry.

Charles nodded again from the bottom of his heart. Gorman never meant to intervene or interrupt the negotiation. All this is still within the plan of the other party, so of course he must continue to speak according to the original plan.

"Other than that, does the Chamber of Commerce have any other requirements?"

"Oh, of course there is, but before talking about that request, there is one thing I want to hear from you first."

Wellersley narrowed his eyes.

"Do you know what you will face after you proposed [co-governing the Principality of Brittany with the Merchant Alliance]?"

"Hmph, of course I know, it's just that the 'bigger nobleman' felt that I had touched the opponent's bottom line, and would bring his most capable knights to rush over and flatten my Brittany. The principality."

Charles sneered, as if he didn't take this future seriously at all.

"What? Are you afraid of the business alliance? It doesn't matter if you are afraid. The big deal is that I can use this co-governance declaration as a secret treaty, so that I won't offend that majestic majesty—ah, don't worry, if it is In that case, I am still willing to change the political system to a parliamentary system, but the fact that the merchants settled in the Brittany Peninsula cannot be written in the treaty."

Wellersley laughed.

"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood what I mean by asking this question. I'm not talking about the consequences after the declaration of co-governance was issued, but I want to ask you, do you have the guts to really accept us into the Borough? Thani Peninsula, working together for the future in one council."

"Of course I have the guts, but as a businessman, I think you should understand that the reason why risks can be borne is because there are enough benefits!"

The corner of Charles' mouth showed a dangerous arc, like a wolf baring its teeth.

"In fact, you just want me to issue a declaration, because what you most want to get is a copy of the legal principles on the mainland. After all, the people of the empire look at this, and the merchants want to gain a foothold in the Brittany peninsula. , I need me, the Grand Duke of Brittany, to appease and declare to my own people-this benefit is big enough for you, but for me, there are only risks."

His implication is already very clear. He is not a fool. He is very clear about what it means to publish this declaration. For Charles, who became the Grand Duke of Brittany, this matter will do a lot of harm but no benefit. But it is the most dreamed thing of the business alliance - an [invitation letter] that can officially enter the mainland.

Because as long as Shire declares co-government, no matter what happens afterwards, even if the merchant alliance is driven into the sea again, they will have a reason to return to Brittany!Instead of being kicked out by the empire like an unwanted wild dog like it is now.
