Chapter 198 Berent's Plan
Berent's current situation is very bleak. The moment he stepped down from the position of prime minister, he was betrayed.
Even, he was accused of treason, but he did not take any action to argue. He knew in his heart that these charges could only be borne by him alone.
For the arrival of Lu Zijing and others, Berent was naturally very surprised.
"Mr. Berent, I, Your Majesty of the Jin Empire, met you once before. This is the seal that His Majesty ordered me to give you personally."
When Lu Zijing saw Berent in front of him, he slowly offered a wooden box made of small-leaf red sandalwood, inside which was stored a seal carved with jade. The bottom of the seal was engraved with four characters in regular script, For the country and the people.
Berent was fascinated by some seals before, especially the craftsmanship of the Great Jin Empire's seals. At this moment, he slowly took out the seals and played with them in his own hands.
"You don't get paid for nothing, what does your Great Jin Empire want me to do?"
After a moment of excitement, Berent asked, he thought that the people in front of him would never come to see him on purpose.
Moreover, he didn't think Han Xiyuan, the strongman in the Far East, would remember him as a defeated head of state.
"Could it be, Mr. Berent, would you like to see a war between our two countries? As for the several destructive weapons that our Great Jin Empire put in the territory of Fusang before, Mr. Berent should also know their destructive power. ...Could it be that, Mr. Berent, do you want your own citizens to suffer such a miserable situation?"
Lu Zijing persuaded Berent in front of him according to Han Xiyuan's instructions.
"I'm an old man, and I can no longer interfere with these important national affairs. It's just a pity to lose such a good seal."
Berent played with it reluctantly for a while, then slowly put it down, and handed it to Lu Zijing in front of him.
Although he yelled at Churchill in a parliamentary meeting before, he would definitely see that the Eagle Empire, under the leadership of Churchill, would inevitably go to the lowest point.
However, he really couldn't do treasonous acts.
"Mr. Berent, Your Majesty believes that our two countries may resolve disputes peacefully, and Your Majesty believes that your peaceful negotiation strategy is very suitable. Therefore, we hope that you can come forward and negotiate with the Queen. There can be peaceful exchanges between our two countries."
Long distance and short attack are the best strategy at this moment, so Lu Zijing came to see Berent, and Berent still has a certain influence ability in the Eagle Empire.
"If this is the case, then I can indeed lead your Jin Empire to resolve some of the existing disputes. For example, the cultural relics dispute between us and you. I think our Eagle Empire does exist Some inappropriate means. However, our main purpose is to promote the cultural treasures of your Jin Dynasty. Now that you ask for it, we should return it unconditionally."
Lu Zijing was very dissatisfied with Berent's wording. After all, he lightly dismissed the crimes committed by the Eagle Empire before.
But he continued to speak according to Han Xiyuan's instructions from China.
"Mr. Berent, we also think the same way. Therefore, we have submitted our legitimate and reasonable application to Churchill, but now, we still haven't received a reasonable response. However, I believe that with your help, It will definitely be solved easily. Moreover, we also very much agree with your election as Prime Minister of the Eagle Empire."
Lu Zijing slowly mentioned that this made Berent deep in thought. He had experienced the taste of power, so he must not want to give up his pursuit and obsession with power.
However, at this moment, Churchill has just taken office not long ago. If he is preparing to run for office again at this moment, it is too late and necessary.
However, if Berente nods in agreement at this moment, it means that Berente wants to cooperate with the Great Jin Empire.
Berent was silent for a long time on this matter. He looked at the seal in his hand, then at Lu Zijing in front of him and spoke slowly.
"Are you really here for peace, not for other purposes?"
When Berent asked this, it was just for peace of mind.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Great Jin Empire was only seeking temporary peace.
"That's true, and my Great Jin Empire is willing to abolish the alliance agreement with the German Empire."
Now the spies planted by the Secret Service in the German Empire risked their lives to send out information that the German Empire really wanted to take action against the Jin Empire. Han Xiyuan, who got the news, naturally wanted to find a way to disintegrate some possible hostile forces.
When Berent heard the news, his originally depressed expression turned into joy.
He knew that most of his defeat to Churchill was due to the capture of the Prussian Empire by the German Empire, and the bankruptcy of his appeasement policy. If at this moment, the Jin Empire was pulled into his camp, then he would be a great contributor.
Berent, who had thought for a long time, nodded slowly.
