Chapter 1022
"Great Qin Emperor is right; your Arabian Empire is greedy, snatching a large piece of land from our Byzantium, and must return it to us!" Kronas was very clever, wanting to use Great Qin's prestige to force the Arabian Empire to spit out the land snatched before.
This immediately put the Arabian Empire on the fire.
Old Li saw that it was not good; how could the four-nation alliance start internal strife in front of Qin Mu?
He hurriedly persuaded.
"Prince, don't be anxious; believe that the Arabian Empire will definitely give you an explanation."
"What we are talking about now is the matter between our four countries and Great Qin."
"As for the matter between you, let's talk about it slowly after going back, okay?"
Kronas was unmoved.
Byzantium and Great Qin have no direct conflict, what is there to talk about?
On the contrary, this is the opportunity to easily ask for the lost territory back; missing it would be a fool!
"Our country agrees to strengthen trade exchanges, but to cooperate, we must at least solve the previous problems. As long as the Arabian Empire agrees to return the snatched land to our Byzantium."
"We can talk about doing business immediately."
This made the situation fall into a stalemate.
How could Muhammad agree to return the land to Byzantium like this?
The land of the Arabian Empire was all snatched.
If they had to return it piece by piece to others, what territory would their Arabian Empire have left?
"Kronas, don't you be unreasonable!"
"Damascus voluntarily turned to our Arabian Empire!"
"Speaking of which, hasn't your Byzantium snatched other countries' land?"
Kronas was so angry that his eyes widened and his beard trembled.
But he didn't know how to refute it?
This is a scar in the heart of Byzantium.
The people of Damascus actually didn't want to submit to Byzantine rule. When the two countries were at war and fighting fiercely, they completely turned to the Arabian Empire.
Precisely because of this, it made Byzantium particularly troubled.
The envoys of the two countries argued back and forth in the Great Qin court.
Qin Mu's face maintained a faint smile and did not interfere.
It was as if he was watching a play, leaning on the dragon chair, silently appreciating it.
This made Old Li on the side very anxious.
If the four-nation alliance started internal strife the first time they faced Great Qin, what would they do in the future?
"Both of you, stop arguing!"
"It's just a piece of land, don't keep your eyes on that place!"
"There are so many ownerless wastelands in the world waiting for you to conquer!"
"Look at Kievan Rus, the weakest national strength, but the largest territory!"
"Don't you have any realization?"
As soon as Old Li said this, the three alliance countries were unhappy.
The Kievan Rus envoy spoke for the first time.
"What do you mean by weakest national strength and largest territory?"
"We Kievan Rus have too few people and can't beat you. But our people are very brave and very tough." Although he didn't dare, Old Li's words also made sense.
Muhammad and Kronas stopped arguing.
They knew that if they continued to argue like this, there would never be an end, so it was better to save some strength.
Old Li saw that although his words annoyed Kievan Rus, they also worked.
He hurriedly spoke to remedy it.
"Compared to Great Qin, our four countries have weak national strength, which we all see."
"Now we should put down past prejudices and talk more about business, which is the correct way to common prosperity!"
Muhammad nodded in approval.
Although Kronas was still somewhat unwilling, no one helped him, and he could not ask for the lost territory back from the Arabian Empire.
Of course, the voice with Great Qin also had to be discussed, which was also very important!
"Great Qin Emperor, I hope Great Qin can open up the export of high-quality ironware."
"Our Byzantine farmers really need Great Qin's high-quality farm tools!"
Everyone knew that farm tools were just an excuse; Byzantium's real purpose was to get Great Qin's high-quality ironware.
The other three "757" countries were not ambiguous and asked together.
After all, high-quality ironware is a strategic material that can quickly enhance military strength; who doesn't want it?
Qin Mu laughed.
He had been watching the play for half a day, but unfortunately, these few countries didn't fight.
However, he had already seen the contradictions between them clearly.
"Great Qin's high-quality ironware is not enough to use; after all, this kind of high-end goods is also very troublesome to smelt."
"But it can be considered to sell a portion to countries with close relations."
"Among your four countries, only Byzantium has no disputes with Great Qin."
"I can consider selling a portion of high-quality ironware to Byzantium first!"
As soon as this was said, there was another commotion below.
Why?
The Arabian Prophet Muhammad's face sank immediately.
Byzantium's current strength is slightly inferior to the Arabian Empire's.
But if they get Great Qin's high-quality ironware, it will be hard to say later.
This move by Great Qin added huge invisible pressure to the Arabian Empire!
Old Li also felt a bit sour in his heart.
Great Qin would rather sell high-quality ironware to Byzantium than to Great Tang.
In vain, he thought that Great Tang had sought cooperation with such a low profile and should have a good relationship with Great Qin.
But he was still excluded by Qin Mu as an enemy.
Sad!
