Chapter 1387: Negotiations start

The Bremen were stubborn for a few days and finally sat at the negotiating table. No way, the trick of breaking grain is too cruel. If the blockade of the Weser River only broke the Bremen ’s way of wealth, the grain cut would kill them. Although it does not need a knife, it can easily kill all Bremen. Therefore, this has to be succumbed to the Leme people.

It's no wonder that the free city of Bremen Hansa looks rich and beautiful. However, it is a pure city with no agricultural areas at all. Without agricultural areas, it means that food security cannot be guaranteed. In addition, all channels connecting to the outside world have to pass through Marin's control area. Marin wants to choke his throat without any effort.

This time only a few days of food was cut, and panic began in Bremen. Although the parliamentarians who came to the negotiations had enough food in their homes, the citizens had no food. Unlike those aristocratic princes, even if the aristocratic princes had food shortages, the people did not dare to go to the noble princes for trouble. But the city of Bremen is different. Although they are all local nobles, they are also elected by the citizens of Bremen. In the case of anger, the citizens of Bremen have the right to trouble them. Because the identity of their parliamentarians was given collectively by the citizens of Bremen. If they make trouble, they are very likely to be beaten by the citizens of Bremen.

However, they are unwilling to give away the food stored in the family to the citizens, and doing so is also a waste of money. After all, Bremen City has tens of thousands of people and belongs to the big German city. Even those rich households are not enough to support the needs of Bremen. After all, Marin ’s blockade of the grain road was abrupt, without warning, and the Bremen did not have time to hoard grain.

In desperation, several representatives of Bremen ’s parliament could only come to the Marin-appointed negotiation site, Oldenburg, to negotiate with Marin.

When he saw Marin, several members of the Bremen City Council were full of anger and could not wait for thousands of lives to tear Marin.

However, Marin did not bird them at all. Said to be negotiations, Marin did not blend in at the beginning, but let the representatives sent by Hamburg and Lübeck contact the representatives of Bremen ...

"What do you mean? Invite us without negotiating with us?" Hector, the speaker of Bremen, said angrily.

Marin, who was about to approach the door, turned his head and mocked:

"Negotiations? Who do you think you are? Bremen has no sovereignty, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? On my site, I dare to oppose me, really when I will not kill people? If not friends of Lubeck and Hamburg Dissuaded, I have already sent troops to defeat Bremen! "

"We have purchased the city of autonomy for hundreds of years. Even in the Hanseatic League, we are also veterans! You actually said that we are not qualified to negotiate with you?" Hector was also angry. As the Speaker of Bremen, he is naturally one of the most wealthy big brothers in Germany. When was it so despised?

Marin shrugged and said:

"I know that you have purchased the autonomy, but do you have sovereignty? If Bremen has the status of an imperial city, I will admit that you and I are equal. Besides, Bremen is allowed to self-government. The Bishop of May. But now the Bishop of Bremen has changed territory with me and went to Stendal. According to the rules, you want autonomy, it is reasonable to move to Stendal. That is to say, not now The sovereignty of Lame City belongs to me. I did n’t rush people directly, it was already polite! "After that, Marin smiled with pride.

Hector was suddenly angry, but, thinking carefully, Marin was right. They bought autonomy, but that was purchased from the Archbishop of Bremen. However, with the help of the Holy See, Marin used the Stendal region from the electorate of Brandenburg in exchange for the bishopric of Bremen. Now the Archbishop of Bremen, which has granted Bremen the autonomy, has moved to the city of Stendal. If it is more true, the city of Bremen should also move to the Stendal region. It's just that Marin didn't mention it because of his good relationship with the Hanseatic League.

However, in this war, Bremen openly stood on the opposite side of the Beihai Kingdom. If Marin did not target Bremen, it would be abnormal.

Not to mention the displeasure of Bremen representatives, Marin left in a humming key. Then, the representatives of Hamburg and Lübeck stayed and persuaded the representatives of Bremen to move to Hamburg and Lübeck with their families ...

...

"Why? Why should we move away?" Hector was very angry. You know, he is in Bremen, but the distinguished Speaker, and those princes are on equal terms. Although Bremen has not been granted the status of an imperial city, but because of its extremely powerful financial situation, coupled with the asylum of the Hanseatic League, ordinary people really dare not easily offend him.

However, if he moved to Hamburg or Lübeck, his identity as the speaker would no longer exist. By that time, he was not qualified to sit on par with those princes, how could he be reconciled?

However, Hamburg Speaker Bernard reminded with a smile:

"Master Hector, if you don't accept it. But I'm afraid the Bremen will starve to death ..."

Hector was angry when he heard this:

"Bernard, you're so kind to say? If you guys are willing to support Hamburg, the Marin guy dare to easily deal with Bremen? If you are a scumbag, if it's not your burger, would the Confederation sit and watch Bremen being marlin's guy? bully?"

Bernard suddenly smiled and said lightly:

"Hector, you are kind enough to blame us? You forgot the Hanseatic League's regulations? According to the law of the League, members are not allowed to go to war without the consent of the four neighboring Hanseatic cities. However, you don't do Bremen What's wrong? Without the consent of the four nearby cities, you will form an alliance with the princes of the Eight Kingdoms to deal with the alliance's ally Beihai. So, you violate the law first, and the alliance does not support you, it is correct! "

"We didn't send troops to fight with the North Sea State!" Hector quickly defended ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ because Bremen did not report to the League for dealing with the North Sea State. Because the Bremen know that the main and deputy leaders of the alliance have a good relationship with the North Sea State and will not agree with Bremen.

"Well, Bremen did not directly participate in the war. However, you not only refused to lend a boat to the Third Army of the North Sea State to cross the river, but also helped the coalition forces of the eight-nation princes to deliver military supplies and weight. This is equivalent to participating in the war. According to the principle of neutrality, no Lemme should not deliver military supplies and weight to the coalition forces of the eight kingdoms! Therefore, although you did not directly participate in the war, you have entered the war briefly. You have broken the rules first, and the Beihai State ’s response is not wrong! "

On the side, Lubeck ’s new speaker Heinrich nodded again and again:

"Yes, it is Bremen that violates the laws of the alliance first, and we refuse to help you!"

As the Speakers of the first city of Lubeck in the Hanseatic League and the second city of Hamburg, their statements basically represented the attitude of the "One King and One Queen" of the Hanseatic League. In this regard, even Bremen, as the top boss of the Hanseatic League, is helpless. how? The old one and the second one are together, even if Bremen is the third, it can't resist. What's more, Bremen really violated the alliance law first ...
