Chapter 1752: A Visit

~9 min read 1,622 words

At this time, Egypt.

Without waiting long, Dike arrived in Cairo again, looking as miserable as could be.

The third round of negotiations between him and Jiang Xuan had begun.

"Oh, respected Mr. Dike, you have come again. Well, have you thought it through this time?"

"Our conditions are only these, and they are not very excessive."

"Mr. Dike, I truly hope this is the last time you visit me for this matter; after all, every visit takes up a lot of my time."

"Furthermore, regarding this matter, I have actually lost the mood to continue negotiating."

Hearing these highly insulting words, Dike's face turned livid, but he had no other Method, so he still had to bite the bullet and negotiate with Jiang Xuan.

After all, these two ports were too important.

Important enough to make him come and negotiate with Jiang Xuan time and time again.

Dike said: "Mr. Jiang Xuan, this will be our last negotiation; I have had enough of Cairo."

Jiang Xuan chuckled and said indifferently: "Why, do you not like this office?"

"This is the best office we found after the Dragon Flame Army took Cairo. Mr. Dike, you wouldn't find this office familiar, would you?"

Dike did not continue this topic, looking at the comfortable chair Jiang Xuan was sitting in.

This position was originally his, back when Cairo was still under his control.

This office was his.

Dike knew that Jiang Xuan was putting psychological pressure on him to make him lose his dominant position in this negotiation.

Dike stood up abruptly and spread his arms to make his figure look large.

He blocked almost all of Jiang Xuan's line of sight and said: "We can help Dragon Flame take back the remaining three mineral veins; we can send troops to resist the French forces."

"However, when we attacked the French Port, we British also provided help. If Dragon Flame needs to use our British strength to take back these three mineral veins,"

"You must also provide us with the same help."

Jiang Xuan did not refuse and said indifferently: "Very well, when necessary, we can provide aid to the British army."

"Then when will Dragon Flame help us recover the ports?"

Jiang Xuan smiled, ignored Dike's figure, and said indifferently: "After you British recover the mineral veins, these two ports will naturally truly belong to you British."

The cooperation was reached, and Dike did not stay here for another minute.

Because every extra minute he stayed was the greatest challenge to his mentality.

Seeing Dike leave, Jiang Xuan revealed a smile of a conspiracy fulfilled; he looked at the map of all of Egypt, staring at the location of France.

"Nashadier, what step have you reached behind enemy lines? I have already finished arranging things here."

A sharp glint appeared in Jiang Xuan's eyes.

……

At this time, Europe.

Saxony.

Ever since the city of Dresden was burned clean by a great fire from the Dragon Flame Army.

Saxony's economy and industrial level returned directly to their most primitive state, and turmoil broke out in the country afterward.

Under the dual blow of the economy and turmoil, the King of Saxony had completely lost the thought of resistance; it was not that he was unwilling to rebuild Saxony.

It was that he no longer had the ability.

Catching the last train of the Industrial Revolution did not make the nation of Saxony completely wealthy.

It could only be said that the people's standard of living was constantly improving.

And because of its Geography, Prussia wanted to win him over, and Austria also wanted to win him over.

Playing both sides, he made Saxony live quite comfortably among the many small countries in Europe.

But now, all of this had been ruined by the Dragon Flame Army.

Not only that, this great fire not only ruined Saxony completely, but his allies in the Anti-Prussian Alliance also treated him, the King, very coldly.

The Pope of Catholicism was even more indifferent to Saxony's losses.

After Dresden was destroyed, the King of Saxony had visited the French King Louis XV, but the reply he received made him feel very cold-hearted.

France did not intend to help the Saxons rebuild their industrial system.

He went to visit Austria, and Austria had the same attitude, or one could even say it was worse.

Grand Duke Theresa would not even see him, always using excuses like Grand Duke Theresa being seriously ill to brush him off.

With nowhere left to turn, the King of Saxony could only return to his country and lie flat.

And at this time, the King of Saxony received a piece of news.

"Your Majesty, an Envoy from Dragon Flame requests an audience!"

Hearing it was someone sent by Dragon Flame, the King of Saxony's face turned livid; he snorted coldly and said: "No!"

The attendant said: "You had better see him; he asked me to bring a message."

The King of Saxony was stunned and asked: "What message? Speak freely."

The attendant said in a deep voice: "He asked me to tell you: a defeated nation is not worthy of negotiating any conditions. If you refuse to see him, the Dragon Flame Army will raze Saxony to the ground!"

Hearing this, the King of Saxony was furious, drew his Drawn Sword, and was about to rush out in a rage to behead this Dragon Flame Envoy.

However, the attendant held the King of Saxony back and cried out: "Your Majesty, we in Saxony have no troops left now; even Prince Soubise has withdrawn."

"Now our Saxony is already fish on someone else's chopping block; what ability do we have to resist them?"

Clack!

The sword fell to the ground, and the King of Saxony's face was ice-cold.

The attendant picked up the sword and said again: "Your Majesty should consider your succession to the throne."

The King of Saxony looked at his sword, picked it up, sheathed it, and sighed, "I understand."

"Let him in."

"Forget it, I shall go see him myself." The King of Saxony walked out, dejected, looking at the old man standing straight as a ramrod outside.

The other party was wearing the official uniform of Longyan, his face solemn; though he was old, his gaze was clear.

Li Hongtian watched the King of Saxony walk out; he nodded slightly and said, "Your subject, Envoy of Longyan, pays respects to the King of Saxony."

Seeing Li Hongtian merely nod slightly, the King of Saxony wondered where the etiquette of a subject meeting a king had gone.

This looked more like the treatment between equals.

Sigh, it was also strange; Saxony had been completely routed by a mere fifty thousand Longyan troops, and these fifty thousand Longyan troops had been fighting on their own territory in Saxony.

Even with the advantages of terrain, timing, and popular support in Saxony, they had not won.

They had even suffered a crushing defeat, so it was not unacceptable for the Envoy of Longyan to sit on equal footing with him.

The King of Saxony invited Li Hongtian into the Wanggong to host him personally.

"Mr. Li, what is it you wish to discuss by visiting my Kingdom of Saxony this time?" the King of Saxony said in a deep voice.

Li Hongtian glanced at the King of Saxony and said indifferently, "I have come on behalf of the Longyan Chief Minister, Lord Liu Zheng, to propose some conditions to your Kingdom of Saxony."

"I believe Your Majesty will certainly accept them."

After an endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly sat up from the bed. Please,

He gasped for fresh air, his chest heaving.

Confusion and bewilderment—all sorts of emotions surged into his heart.

Where is this?

Subsequently, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more bewildered.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital ward right now.

And his own body... how could there not be a single injury?

Filled with doubt, Shi Yu's gaze swept quickly across the room, finally resting on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance: about seventeen or eighteen years old, very handsome.

But the problem is, this is not him!, read the latest chapter content ad-free for free

His previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties with an extraordinary bearing, who had been working for some time.

But now, this appearance looks like a high school student no matter how one looks at it...

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him the surgery was a success...

His body and face have both changed; this is not a matter of surgery at all, but sorcery.

He had actually completely turned into another person!

Could it be... that he had transmigrated?

Besides the mirror placed in a clearly bad feng shui position at the head of the bed, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked one up to look, and the title made him fall silent instantly.

"Essential Handbook for Novice Beast Breeders"

"Postpartum Care for Pet Beasts"

"Guide to Evaluating Different Species of Beast-Eared Girls"

Shi Yu:???

The titles of the first two books were still normal, but what is going on with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's gaze turned stern, and he reached out his hand, but his arm stiffened quickly.

Just as he wanted to open the third book to see what on earth this thing was, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a massive amount of memories surged forth like a tide.
