Chapter 470 Nordic Governor
Monty was taken aback for a moment, then ecstatically. Because the whereabouts of those treasures could not be found, he and Lan Shi were almost devastated. I didn't expect someone to automatically send the clues now.
"Mr. Rich, come here, please sit down." Monty greeted warmly. Now, his attitude towards Rich has fundamentally changed.
Rich smiled slightly, no longer humbled, and went to Monty's side.
"I don't know how Mr. Rich knew we were looking for those things?" Monty asked. As a soldier, he didn't have the guts of a politician, so he asked directly.
"Now the whole of Stockholm and even southeastern Sweden are disturbed by this incident. Do you think I don't know?" Rich said.
"Can the gentleman tell where those things are?" Monty asked hastily.
Rich smiled, but didn't answer.
"If you can tell me, His Majesty the Emperor of our country will definitely reward you heavily. Even Marshal Lanshi and I will never forget you." Monty continued.
"Actually, I don't know the specific whereabouts of those things. Even my master, Lord Aubrey, doesn't know." Rich said.
Monty stood up with a bang. Tell him now that he doesn't know, isn't this playing him?
"However, my master knows who knows the whereabouts of that batch of things. And my master is working hard now, hoping to get the specific whereabouts of that batch of things from that person." Rich continued.
Monty sat down depressed, he was almost dizzy by this responsible relationship.
"Mr. Rich. Can you tell me who knows exactly where that batch is?" Monty asked.
Rich shook his head: "I only know who my master knows."
"Then what do you mean by coming to us now?" Monty asked impatiently.
"My master wants to inform you of the whereabouts of that batch of things. However, my master has proposed some conditions, and I hope you can agree." Rich said.
"I can't decide on this. But you can tell me the conditions that Aubrey mentioned, and I will reply to you after consulting the country." Monty said after thinking for a while.
Rich nodded and began to say: "First, my master asked your country not to pursue the mistakes he committed in this war. Can your country agree?"
"I don't know, but I don't think it should be a problem." Monty said, after all, comparing the two, it is obvious that the value of the treasure is much greater, and I believe His Majesty the Emperor will not punish Aubrey And lost those treasures.
"Secondly, my master requires that your country must ensure that the interests of the master's family are not violated." Rich continued.
"It's no problem. I can send a report to Marshal Lance immediately, asking him to send troops to protect the Aubrey family from being attacked." Monty said.
"The third and last point. My master hopes to cooperate with your country." Rich said.
Monty frowned, he didn't know what the other party wanted to do. "Can you go into more detail?" Monty asked.
"It's actually very simple. My master hopes to become the spokesperson of your country in Northern Europe." Rich said.
Monty went dumb for a moment. It seems that Aubrey's appetite is not small. It turned out to want to replace the king of Sweden.
"After your country occupied the entire Nordic region, I think it would be difficult to personally rule the Nordic region because of the consideration of the people's feelings. My master can become a good spokesperson for your country and assist your country in ruling the entire Nordic region. said Rich.
"Unfortunately, Mr. Rich, I can't answer you now. I think you have to wait for a while. I can answer you after I get instructions from Paris." Monty said.
"It's okay, I can wait." Rich said indifferently. Of course he knew that these things were beyond what Monty could do.
An officer walked in immediately and made a gesture of invitation to Qi here: "Mr. Rich, please."
"Marshal Monty, then I'll be waiting for your good news." Rich said.
"I'll let you know as soon as I have any news." After sending Rich away, Monty quickly sent the news to the general staff and Lanshi respectively. After Lan Shi got the news, he rushed over here immediately.
Sodertalje is not far from Stockholm, and it only took Lance an hour to get there. As soon as they met, Lan Shi couldn't wait to ask: "How's the matter? Has the whereabouts been found out?"
Monty shook his head: "It depends on how the country responds to the conditions proposed by Aubrey. If the country does not agree, then things will be troublesome."
Lan Shi also looked worried.
"If it really doesn't work, we'll arrest Rich, and I don't believe he won't say anything then." Lan Shi said fiercely.
Monty shook his head: "I guess he really doesn't know. If we catch him, I'm afraid Aubrey will suspect us. Then things will be even more difficult."
"Then we have to wait for Paris' reply." Lance said with a sigh.
After receiving the telegram sent back by Monty, Eck immediately felt that the matter was serious, and immediately sent people to rule Dougal and Forbeck and let them rush to the palace. Then he also quickly drove to the palace.
Since the General Staff was the farthest from the palace, the three of them arrived almost at the same time.
As soon as they met, Forbeck asked directly: "Marshal Eck, what happened? You are looking for me so urgently." You must know that he still has a lot of things to settle on the cabinet side.
Dougal also looked at Eke with regret, and he didn't know what happened.
Eck didn't speak, but handed the telegram to both of them. After the two finished watching, they didn't say anything. Because, whether to accept the conditions proposed by Aubrey depends on Xiao Jie's attitude.
The three of them begged Xiao Jie together. Xiao Jie was also very puzzled that the three of them came to seek an audience together. You must know that the three of them have a lot of things to deal with. I'm too busy at ordinary times, so where do I find the time to gather together?
"Three. It seems that you have been free recently." Xiao Jie said with a smile.
"Your Majesty was joking. We wish we had 48 hours a day, so how can we have free time?" Forbeck said with a smile.
"Oh? Then I'm surprised. Why do you still have time to come to me?" Xiao Jie said with some puzzlement.
"It's like this. Someone knows the whereabouts of the treasures in Sweden. But the other party put forward some conditions, and we can't make a decision, so I came to see you." Eck said. Then he handed the telegram to Xiao Jie.
After receiving the telegram, Xiao Jie was overjoyed at first, but then frowned.
"What's your opinion?" Xiao Jie asked. Now he always hopes to hear the opinions of his courtiers first, and then make a final decision based on their opinions.
"Your Majesty, I think we can agree to Aubrey's conditions. After all, those treasures are very important to us." Forbeck said first.
Xiao Jie pondered for a while, and then asked: "If there is no such treasure, will it have a big impact on us?"
"With this batch of treasures, our navy will speed up its equipment. At the same time, we can expand the size of the navy again. In addition, we can increase investment in national infrastructure and stimulate the economy. And we can also hoard various Materials, to prepare for the upcoming war. If there is no such wealth, then we will have to wait for more than two years before a decisive battle with the United States." Forbeck quickly analyzed.
"Your Majesty. I also think we can agree to Aubrey's conditions. However, we can pass some conditions to ensure our rule in Northern Europe. For example, require troops to be stationed in Northern Europe. The Nordic army must be trained by us and obey our command. The police must also be trained by us. Diplomacy must also be consistent with us." Eck thought for a while and said.
"In this case, the Nordic region will be our own. UUReading Book www.uukanshu.com But will Aubrey agree?" Xiao Jie said.
"At that time, he can't help but disagree. According to our understanding, Aubrey is a person who is very afraid of death. If he refuses to agree to our conditions, then we will have to use force. I believe that if he is handed over to the intelligence The people in the department can get what we want within a day." Du Geer continued.
"That's good. Then it depends on whether Aubrey is sensible." A gleam flashed in Xiao Jie's eyes.
"Your Majesty, I have a proposal. We might as well set the Nordic region as a special administrative region, just like Iberia. It's just that Aubrey is the nominally supreme officer of the Nordic region, and he only needs to be responsible to His Majesty. That's fine. But in fact, all the positions below are filled by our people. He doesn't have any real power at all," Forbeck suggested.
Xiao Jie thought for a while, and felt that this idea was very good: "This method is good. However, we must pay attention to that we must get the treasure. Can we quickly prepare for war with the United States and Canada? , It depends on the treasure. In addition, we must also have the high-quality iron ore in Sweden. There is no room for any mistakes in these two points. As for the position for Aubrey, I think he will be appointed Governor of Northern Europe .Just be accountable to me."
