Castle of Gundofie, Pope Summer Palace.

Nowadays, many countries in Europe, including the Principality of Ross, arrived together.

Seeing the kings fighting red, Grand Duke Ross remained silent.

The Pope, who sat in the top position, also said nothing.

"We must unite! Otherwise, once the revenge of the Ming Empire strikes..."

"This is the trouble you caused! You attacked the fleet of the Ming Empire anonymously. Do you think we don't know?!"

"Sorry! I don't think the Ming Dynasty will identify who attacked him. They just need to judge that the person is from Europa."

"A few years have passed, and you have forgotten the iron hoof of the Tatar and the 'Whip of God'?!"

Unlike yesterday's gentleness at the cocktail party, everyone knows that it is necessary to discuss a result today.

There is not much time left for them, and it has been a month since they returned from the defeat of the fleet.

They must agree on how to cooperate as soon as possible and then form a new joint fleet.

Then decide whether to send envoys to the Ming Dynasty to try to negotiate.

The fleets originally sent to the New World have been withdrawn one after another.

Everyone knows that Europa is now their foundation.

"Contact the Ottomans! If they can stand against the Ming Dynasty, we will be much more relaxed!"

"Idiots! The Ottomans had known about the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and they even knew about the Ming Dynasty earlier than us!"

"Do you think the Ottomans would stand on our side and offend a huge empire?!"

Even if it is united, all the kings have their own interests.

Isn’t it the same for Europa in later generations?!

They barely formed a consortium, but eventually they began to argue endlessly due to their respective interests.

There is still a huge gap with the real political system.

"Okay! I'm going to let you here today, not for a quarrel."

Finally, the Pope, who was sitting in the first place, finally spoke.

The originally noisy kings all fell silent.

They all knew very well that just individuals were unable to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

However, when we join forces, how to protect our own interests has become the most important node.

There was no concept of great unification in history, and the city-state alliance between countries gradually became countries.

So this caused a deep gap between the demands of various places in the kingdom.

If we expand to the various kingdoms, this kind of barrier and interest demands will become deeper.

“It has become inevitable that we can unite.”

This is the tone, although the king just now still objected.

But they all knew it was something that was bound to happen.

If you want to have capital on par with the distant Ming Empire, you need a huge empire to support it.

Even the strongest Portuguese here are unable to compete with the Ming Dynasty alone.

Now there are less than eighty warships they can gather.

There is still a long way to go before their most brilliant things.

"Next...this Excellency will explain something to us."

But the pope waved his hand slowly, and a man in a robe flashed out from somewhere.

This figure doesn't look tall and is wearing a monk robe.

The hood on the robe covered his face tightly, but he saw him saluting slightly to the Pope.

"Thank you for your invitation, but I also hope that your grandfather can understand..."

"Our investment targets must be screened."

The kings below heard the four words "investment target" and looked different for a moment.

Some people are inexplicably confused, while others are solemn.

Some people are in a state of uncertainty, while others are also in their eyes a hint of joy!

"Some of the ancestors below have worked with us, and some have just heard of our names..."

"There are still some, not even knowing our existence."

The man wearing a hoodie voice was slightly low.

With a little hoarseness, he sighed softly: "But it doesn't matter."

"We have always negotiated with the investment targets, but the confirmed contract must be executed."

"As for my name, it doesn't matter..."

The visitor paused and said softly: "Since it is in such a sacred place, then... you can call me 'George'."

The Pope, who had been sitting in the main seat, heard a dazzling sound, and a trace of inexplicable smell flashed in his eyes.

George is another way of pronunciation of "church".

"Are you going to choose a suitable investment partner between us?!"

The king present couldn't help but look up when he heard this.

But it was Norman Albert von Nickel, the chief of the arbitration of the United Allies of Bern.

The United Allies of Bern are considered an exception among the kingdoms, and they do not recognize any supreme officials.

The alliances are equal, from their respective military and political affairs to their systems.

The only thing that allows them to unite is the offensive and defensive alliance.

If a dispute arises between the allied city-states, the arbitration chief is responsible for mediating it and the representatives of each city-state are supervised.

Under this model, more and more city-states in the entire federation have joined.

And they developed from mercenaries and knew this "investor" better than all the kings present.

"No, no, no...you misunderstood, Your Excellency Mr. Norman."

George, who was wearing a robe, seemed to have a smile, and he could feel it even if he didn't see his face.

"We need to accept each other, and at the same time... what the investors accepted was the entrustment of the Mianxia."

These kings were stunned when they heard this, the Pope's entrustment?!

But George slowly moved his body away, and the pope's turbid eyes, sitting in the main seat, swept across everyone.

"'Investors' have their own channels and can communicate with Daming."

"But the premise is that we have to have the capital to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty."

The Pope looked at them and said in a deep voice: "Compensation is inevitable, and it is inevitable to give up certain interests."

"But what we obtained is a license to enter the Ming Dynasty and its affiliated countries for trade."

Several kings were stunned when they heard this, and then looked at each other.

They all knew very well that this benefit was really not small.

The Ming Dynasty is now bluntly speaking, it is at the forefront of technology.

Even before Mr. Zhang's reform, some of the technology in the Ming Dynasty were still at the forefront.

For example, silk, porcelain, paper, printing, etc.

To a certain extent, architecture is much more advanced than Europa.

You know, it is still a very late stage for the sewer in Europa.

At one point, the whole of Europa was dirty.

If the nobles don’t like taking a bath, they won’t say anything about it. They will fall down in the street if they are shit and pee.

This leads to the fact that when walking on the street, anyone is prone to being splashed with shit and urine from time to time.

However, the French are very equal, and no matter who they are, they may win the bid.

For example, King Louis XIV of France, he was lucky.

I encountered several "missile attacks" on the street, but I was lucky enough to escape.

By the time of Henry IV, the king finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Orders prohibiting the whole of Paris from pouring feces out of the window.

Unfortunately, the people of Paris still do their own things, but they are just a mess anyway.
