Chapter 430: The Attitude of the Kingdom of France

Chapter 430: The Attitude of the Kingdom of France
The scorching sun shines on the blue-gray lime walls, and the scorching sunlight is poured in through the open pointed arch windows, falling on the Western-style green-bottomed manticore carpet.

Holding a gilded copper cup in his hand, Montejac leaned against the wardrobe by the window and sipped the wine in the cup.

He did not pay too much attention to the precious wine in his hand, but instead focused his attention on the gate of Feiliu Castle in the distance.

There really was a light cavalryman with red feathers, riding a brisk horse, rushing through the street, overturning a passing vegetable vendor's cart, and almost knocking down a citizen mother and son.

"How many gold-lacquered Kong Yu letters are you sending?"

Montejac turned his head and saw behind him a flanger placing his sun hat on a walnut cabinet.

This tall and thin Francois businessman is called Jiganon. He is also one of the shareholders of the Chamber of Commerce tower. He was also the one who was chosen to receive Monteyak.

Unlike most Franks who were unrestrained and informal, this businessman had his collar neatly trimmed and his sleeves tied at his wrists, leaving his hairy arms uncovered.

After drinking the chilled wine in his hand, Montejac threw the copper cup into the ice bucket and sat down on the chair. "I sent three emails yesterday, and three emails this morning. This is the fourth one today."

"Will they repeat the previous twelve gold-painted letters?"

"We're just getting started?" Putting his feet on the table, Montejac laughed sarcastically, "It took twelve days to send one letter before. Look at this, by the twelfth day, there will probably be thirty-six letters."

Jiganon took out two copper cups from the cupboard, poured each a glass of wine, pulled out a chair and sat down: "This battle of the Salvation Army has finally made a name for itself. The news hasn't spread yet. By the time it spreads, wow, we've annihilated two infantry companies of the Imperial Order..."

"If they are willing to be hired, there are probably many nobles willing to hire them to cause some trouble for our great King Gigi." Monteya echoed, took the wine and took another sip.

The so-called King Gigi is a derogatory term for the current King of Leia, Genegis. It was the nickname given to Genegis by the Duke Alliance during the Leia Civil War.

Montyak shook his copper cup and shook his head comfortably. "It was right for us not to confront the Saviors. We have no conflict of interest with them."

Knowing that Monteyak was trying to make up for his mistake, Jiganon still praised him a few times against his conscience.

However, this was not his main purpose today. He then changed the subject and after chatting for a few words, he turned the topic to the current situation in Qianhe Valley.

After all, with the small civil war in Thousand Valley and the big civil war in Leia, the merchants who mainly deal in weapons, armor, horses and food are making a lot of money, while the income of those like him who mainly deal in daily necessities has been declining day by day.

What these Frankish businessmen care most about is news that can change their current situation.

"Judging from the current situation, the Salvation Army, which has received funding from Rapid City, will most likely be able to gain a foothold in Longsand County and Lower River County." When it comes to key issues, Monteyak is still very reliable.

"In this way, the entire Thousand River Valley is divided into three parts. The first one." Monteyak raised three fingers in turn, "Prince Kongdai and the church's forces, including the richest Hotam County under their rule and the isolated Mound County.

The second is the power of Grand Duke Meliati, the Duchy of Hermash, which is composed of four mountain counties: Upper River County, North Mound County, South Mound County and North County.

The third is the power of Saint Sun Horn, a loose alliance formed by Kasha County, Lower River County and Langsander County, the main body of which should be the most powerful Savior Army.

Under the current situation, if Prince Kongdai advances north, the three plain counties will send troops to attack Hotam County, and if he advances south, the four mountainous counties will send troops to attack Hotam County. Currently, the relationship between Duke Hemashi and Shengsun is vague, and it is uncertain who will be enemies or friends in the future.

In the long run, the Thousand River Valley is likely to split and become a no-man’s land.”

Even though he was drunk, it did not stop him from analyzing the possible future situation of Qianhe Valley in an orderly manner. This might be the innate skill of the Franks.

After hearing what Monteyak said, Jiganon became even more worried. Does this mean that the war will have to last for several more years?

"Under such a situation, I'm afraid I'll have to withdraw from the Thousand River Valley and go somewhere else." Jiganon sat upright and laughed, then opened his collar and took a big gulp like an orthodox Frank.

Seeing the melancholy beneath Jiganon's cheerful smile, Montyak became serious instead. He sat up and said, "Don't leave in a hurry. I still have something for you to do." "Master Montyak, if you have any instructions, I will definitely help you to the best of my ability."

"Do you know why I brought up this topic with you before?"

"I don't know." Gigannon answered sincerely.

"How can we, the Kingdom of France, not get involved in such a lively place?" Monteyaq said with a crooked smile.

Jiganon's eyes lit up: "You mean, we should build up our own force?"

"Guessed it right." Montejac snapped his fingers.

"So who do you and the higher-ups intend to support?" Jiganon knew that such a matter could not be decided by Monteyak alone, there must be someone else above him.

"The Savior Army." Montejac agreed with Gigannon.

"The Savior Army? Are you talking about the peasant rebels who imitated the Burning Winter Uprising?" Jiganon was taken aback. It made sense in terms of power, but it didn't make sense from the perspective of the status of both parties.

"This is not an ordinary peasant rebel army. This is a peasant rebel army with military merits. This is a peasant rebel army that defeated two imperial companies." Monteyak pointed his finger upwards, "In the future, the Thousand River Valley will not be a place where no one is in charge, but a place where all three are in charge.

Behind Prince Kongdai is Leia and the Leia Church, behind Meliati is Norn and the Norn Lords, the only spontaneous force is the Salvation Army, the rest are insignificant. "

"But their leader claims to be the Pope, and that grandson of the Holy Lord even says he is the son of the Holy Lord!" Gigannon was confused by Monteyak.

Montejac shook his head and said, "Isn't he just a leader? Our Pope Grandiva said he was the reincarnation of an angel. They only have a few million people and can't make a difference.

If they can really be stabilized, we will give them the status of a vassal state, and at worst we can change the leader.

Moreover, they are close to Black Snake Bay, which is a good opportunity to change the route of the spice trade and suppress the group of disobedient merchants and nobles in Red Leaf Hill."

At this point, Montejac remembered the letter written to him from the Hill of Flowers. It was a handwritten letter from the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of France, Lorenzo, known as the "Thousand-Silk Spider".

Although many years have passed, Lord Spider still feels aggrieved about the Battle of Windmill Land. Although Windmill Land failed to gain independence from France, it created a large number of uncontrolled free cities.

It used to be a major source of tax revenue for Fran and was also Lorenzo's hometown, but now it is out of the control of the kingdom. The first goal of the Thousand Silk Spider after coming to power is to regain control of the Windmill Land.

Monteak guessed the main purpose of stirring up trouble in the Thousand River Valley. On the premise of delaying the Leia people, the Norn forces could not be allowed to cross the Ibe River, forcing the two sides to engage in internal strife.

The best outcome is that the Kingdom of Norn and the Kingdom of Leia will bleed wildly in the Thousand Valley, a place of war, leaving enough time for Prime Minister Loenzo's reform plan.

Thinking of the protesting college students and aristocratic forces marching in groups at the Flower Hill before he left, Montejac felt particularly tired.

However, these reformists all understood that the difficulties were only temporary. Once large numbers of extraordinary knights appeared, how could Leia be considered a country of knights?
It was precisely because of Lorenzo's reform plan that he could easily say that "millions are not a big deal."

Thinking of this, Monteyak's heart was filled with emotion. The Franks should be the most civilized people in the empire. They could finally return to their rightful place.

"So what do you mean?" Seeing that Monteyak didn't speak for a long time, Jiganon couldn't help but ask.

"It's very simple." Monteyak took out a letter from his pocket and threw it to Jiganon, "I will provide the channel, you go and contact them, they are short of funds and manpower, they probably won't refuse.

The Royal Sealand Company will acquire the shares of your Chamber of Commerce, and your Chamber of Commerce will serve as a trading window between France and the Salvation Army, supplying them with France's weapons, as well as goodwill and even loyalty to France."
