Cui Wenxiu's suggestion made Shah couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The Kingdom of Sioran and the Principal of Meli are not that complicated. Although the two countries have close economic exchanges, they are both fair transactions of real money and silver. Especially the huge demand for spices has caused the Kingdom of Sioran to negotiate with the tax department of the Principal of Meli, and the territory is only the northwest corner and the southeast corner of the Principal of Meli. It can be said that the Kingdom of Sioran has a lot of snooping about the Principal of Meli to a large extent. It is just that due to the relationship between the Kingdom of Jutland and the Principal of Meli itself, the Kingdom of Sioran does not have the ability to realize its ideas for the time being, but it is too tempting to put such an excellent opportunity in front of you. Shahn subconsciously turned his attention to Muniz beside him.

Seeing Muniz's cheeks flowing and his face turned pale as if he had suffered a huge blow, Shahine also sympathized with his close friend. Once this matter was exposed, it would not only be that Muniz's reputation would be destroyed, but the credibility of the Kingdom of Jutland would also be greatly damaged. In contrast, his side would not have so many concerns.

Cappadocia is the most important area in South Meli. Compared with the Tih Plateau and the Diyabakir region, it is not a region of the same level. It can be said that the Tih Plateau and Diyabakir combined are difficult to compare with Cappadocia. Its spice production is one of the most famous spice producing areas in the Principal of Meli. Its spice production is second only to the Anatolian Plain and is comparable to the Giresson region. The three places are known as the three major spice producing areas in the Principal of Meli.

If Cappadocia can be controlled in its hands, the Kingdom of Sioran no longer needs to import spices and can even export them out. Where can I find such a good thing? What's more, there is still half of the Kariya area. If the Sey River and Kaban Lake are bounded by the Sey River and the Kingdom of Sioran to the east, the fine copper mines produced in the East Kariya area will also bring considerable benefits to the Kingdom. Shah was even fantasizing whether His Majesty the King would enthrone himself as a marquis for this to commend his outstanding contribution in this diplomatic activity?

"Mr. Muniz, I think you can discuss it with Mr. Shahine. I can understand your difficulties, but as a collaborator, I need to remind you that you cannot harm the interests of your motherland because of your personal interests or so-called reputation. National interests are above everything else. I believe that anyone can understand your mood. Your decision is very important and will affect the interests of your motherland. I will respect your choice." Cui Wenxiu further tightened his life.

Shah Yin secretly cursed Cui Wenxiu. This guy just put forward the idea that made him happy. Now he is a good person to persuade Muniz. Isn’t this to make him happy for nothing? But Shah Yin also knows that his old friend is determined and that if the decision is decided, it will never change. Now it depends on his final decision.

Muniz was really in pain. Shah, who was eyeing him, was wandering around him. As soon as his intention of rejection was revealed, he was afraid that he would accept it on behalf of the Kingdom of Sioran. If the Kingdom of Jutland does not send troops, at most he would have to obtain Sioran. The areas of East Caria and Cappadocia will become land of the Kingdom of Sioran. How can this be explained to the Kingdom?

"Marson, do you mean that there is no room for negotiation now?" The low voice seemed to be full of breaking. Muniz's eyes were deep, and his fingers were unconsciously rubbing something.

"Mr. Muniz, I think this should be our greatest concession. Any party who wants to gain benefits must make some contributions. This is an irrefutable truth. Think about the fertile Cappadocia and Karia areas. You should clearly realize that this opportunity is rare in a century." Cui Wenxiu reminded the other party with a smile.

"Marson, I think you are more suitable to be a diplomat or politician than a soldier. Your thinking is more like a politician. Sorry, my words have absolutely no derogatory meaning." Muniz responded deeply.

"Haha, thank you for your praise, it's a pity that I prefer the profession of military personnel." Cui Wenxiu seemed to have no idea. "It seems that Mr. Muniz has made a decision, which is very good. No matter which decision, I will respect your choice. But I want to remind you that once Jutland decides to send troops, please remember to start before the specified time, otherwise, I will not admit that they should have obtained the rights."

On August 7, 700, the mainland Gregorian Gregorian, 20,000 troops crossed the border from the northwest border and entered the Tikh Plateau in the southeast of the Principal of Meli, and quickly controlled the Tikh Plateau and advanced quickly along the line of Lake Hoylan to the Diyabakir region. At the same time, the 50,000 troops of the Kingdom of Jutland suddenly sent troops north without any notification or explanation, and unexpectedly occupied Malatia, the capital of Cappadocia, which had no soldiers and soldiers. This is also one of the three major cities of the Principal of Meli, and its prosperity is second only to Luxor, the capital of Thrace.

On August 9, another army in the Kingdom of Jutland suddenly crossed the border from the south, heading straight to the unpreventive Kariya area, and captured the capital of Kariya, an important port in the southern part of the Principal of Meli.

Without any warning, the Kingdom of Sioran and the Kingdom of Jutland suddenly launched large troops to attack the southern part of the Principal of Meli, which completely put the Principal of Meli into chaos. No one knew that the former allies would suddenly send troops to counterattack him when they needed help the most. The shock and impact were even more profound than the Tang army's annihilation of Meli's army in the Battle of Xize. When the news that the Kingdom of Sioran and the Kingdom of Jutland jointly sent troops to the southern part of the Principal of Meli came, the Grand Duke of York immediately announced his abdication in Luxor, and before abdication, he announced that he had accepted the Tang army's request to surrender, and ordered the Meli army stationed in the northern region to lay down their weapons to avoid unnecessary sacrifice.

On August 12, the Tang army advanced troops entered the Pafraconia region and entered Beykoz, the capital of the Pafraconia region on the same day. This is the most important port and the largest city in the northern part of the Principal of Meli. On August 14, the main force of the Tang army entered Beykoz and took over the Pafraconia region without stopping. They continued to move south quickly. After crossing the Kerolu Mountains, the troops were divided into two groups.

The west road entered the Thrace area. On August 17, one of the main forces of the Tang army arrived at the capital of the Thrace area, Luxor, the capital of the Principal of Meli. However, the Tang army did not enter Luxor, but one stationed outside the city of Luxor, and the other continued to move south into the Giresson area. In Qutashia, near Lake Aksehir, encountered the first resistance after entering the Principal of Meli. A team of 10,000 people, Meli was defeated and captured the Count Kemalle, a noble noble of the Principal who violated the orders of the Grand Duke of York.

The East Road enters the Anatoli Plain, the heart of the Principality of Meli, and on August 18, it occupied the capital of Anatoli, the second largest city in the country, located in Yozgat on the shore of Lake Tuz. This is the most famous spice processing center in the mainland. More than 30% of the spices in the mainland are roughly processed here and then transported to various places. The Tang soldiers entering Yozgat are intoxicated by a strange and fragrant aroma.

According to Cui Wenxiu's agreed time, on August 20, 700, the Three Kingdoms army met at the Kizilin Pass in the middle of the Toros Mountains. On August 21, Cui Wenxiu arrived at the city of Luxor and accepted the surrender letter submitted by the Duke of York, the Grand Duke of Meli, outside the city. The Principality of Meli officially declared its demise.

On August 22, Cui Wenxiu announced the establishment of the Meli Provisional Special Administrative Region of the Tang Empire in Luxor, and he served as the chief consul of the temporary special administrative region. He waited for the empire to clarify the administrative status of the Meli region next before making a decision. On August 25, Marquis Lavren, the former Navy Commander of the Principality of Meli, formally handed over Meli's command and control of the Sporades Islands to Cui Wenxiu.

The Sporades Islands are located in a 100 nautical miles off the coast of the former Principal of Meli, distributed in a north-south shape, extending from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Aegean Sea in the south. The farthest distance of the islands at the north-south end is more than 500 nautical miles, which is longer than the local area of ​​the Principal of Meli, and there are more than 100 islands. Among them, Samothothras Island, the westernmost island is only 1,200 nautical miles away from Constantine. It is located at the southern end of the archipelago, Icaria, Summers Island in the middle, Sine Island, and Gekche Island in the north are all important islands in this area. Of course, the most important island is the largest area. The island of Lesvos, which is rich in lilacs, is also the most famous lilac oil refining center.

The naval power of the Principal of Meli is much stronger than that of the army. However, for the Constantines who are active in the Aegean Sea and the Baltic Sea, the navy of the Principal of Meli is undoubtedly far apart. The pirate forces supported by the Constantines in this area are also extremely rampant. Even the Navy of Meli dare not lightly touch the edge, and can only adopt defensive escort measures in the near-shore areas to protect their merchant ships from attack.
