That is to say, at the same time that William ordered the Cossack cavalry to go to the border areas to cause trouble and test the reaction of the Uzbeks, the fleet diplomatic mission with high hopes entered Tabriz. otbnkotgt Oriental, Central Asian and Persian-style buildings, masked girls wearing gorgeous silks, turbaned warriors and bearded merchants, plus a city that is more prosperous and more magnificent than the port of Abadan.
All this made Franz and his members of the diplomatic corps feel new and strange.
This is a country that attaches great importance to business and trade.
And just like all the people who established empires and established effective rule in this region.
The Zoroastrian Empire itself could also produce quite good products, mainly some Persian-style gold and silver jewelry.
In addition, there are expensive Persian carpets, wine, and exquisite Persian scimitars.
In addition, there are quite excellent but strictly controlled Persian horses that are very difficult to obtain, as well as supplies provided by herdsmen everywhere.
Lots of livestock, dates, and cotton.
All trade goods, focusing on handicrafts and commerce, made the Zoroastrian Empire a relatively wealthy country.
Even the residents of this country are, in most cases, more comfortable than the people living in the Ostrogothic Empire.
The latter suffered from the pain of war.
Displacement is precarious.
At the same time, because a large amount of land has been abandoned, food is completely insufficient, and they are in the predicament of famine.
In contrast, the Zoroastrian Empire had a large amount of relatively excellent arable land due to the irrigation of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers.
The output could supply almost the entire empire.
Generally speaking, in most cases, the residents of the Zoroastrian Empire were proud, wealthy, stable and had considerable strength.
That is to say, the culture and people bred in this area easily defeated a large number of nations and countries, and established powerful empires and glorious dynasties one after another in history.
It's just, very regrettable.
Although in most periods of history, the Zoroastrian Empire should not be underestimated.
It was not a hegemon, but at least a small regional power.
But it's different now.
Although it also has strong economic strength, population and army.
But facing the dark elves, facing the Uzbek nomads, and facing the Mughal Empire, which has a blood relationship with them but is also a mortal enemy.
Faced with attacks from three sides by three formidable enemies.
Even though the Zoroastrian Empire was very strong, tenacious and brave, it still felt somewhat powerless.
As the news from the front continues to get worse.
The mood in Tabriz, the capital of Zoroaster, became increasingly depressed.
Before this, the Zoroastrians had a history of being enslaved by outsiders.
Although by now, they have been fighting for independence for a long time.
But the unforgettable painful feeling still left them with lingering fears.
The Zoroastrians were tenacious, and of course they were also brave.
There is wisdom and power.
The problem is that when they face three opponents who are equally powerful as them, or even more powerful, the Zoroastrian people still feel that they are unable to do anything, that pain and helplessness.
Uncomfortable, and very depressing.
Looking at the city, which was sunny but seemed to be shrouded in clouds, little Franz and his team members looked at each other and smiled.
A country in crisis, helpless.
This is exactly what diplomats like to deal with.
"It seems that our opportunity has come, gentlemen," little Franz said to his entourage and adjutants: "There is a whole powerful country waiting for us to save."
That was it, they entered Tabriz.
Before that, the Shah of the Zoroastrian Empire, who had already learned of the arrival of these people, sent an envoy to welcome them.
Wearing a gorgeous silk robe, wearing a scimitar embellished with gems and tied to a silver chain at the waist, lined with a white robe, and has a rather uniquely trimmed beard.
This man, who claimed to be a loyal servant of the Shah, came to welcome young Franz and his party to their palace.
"That's exactly what we expected."
Little Franz replied with a smile.
Then, the man who claimed to be Mushahan hesitated and asked them again: "Although we have heard about your identities from the port officials before.

But in order to avoid misunderstandings, I I still want to ask about your identity."
"We are the great supreme lord of the Russian Gothic Empire, the head of the Hereford family, and the envoys of William von Hereford."
The other party said very calmly.
"Very good, that's good."
Despite being located in the Middle East, the Zoroastrian Empire was not as self-enclosed as some people thought.
Through land and sea trade routes, the people of the Zoroastrian Empire knew relatively clearly the intelligence of the outside world.
Although it cannot be said that they know everything in detail, they still know that a new Gothic empire has risen in the west, and they are enemies of the dark elves.
The two sides fought a war, and in the end there was no winner. of.
As the Zoroastrians, who were enemies of the Ottoman Empire and had more victories than defeats in battles, after hearing about the arrival of this group of people, they naturally attached great importance to them.
In addition to exploring the purpose of these people, they also try to obtain certain benefits from them.
Although no country has ever tried to infiltrate its power into this land before, but now, The Zoroastrian Empire was on the verge of extinction.
They won't be able to worry about so many things.
"So, why did your envoy come here by boat from such a distant place?"
After walking for a while and chatting casually for a while, Mushahan couldn't help but asked.
At least before meeting the Shah, he needed to talk to these people first, lest the two sides propose unrealistic terms to each other, which would cause embarrassment to both parties.
This way you can't do it.
"The thing is like this."
So, little Franz replied with a smile: "The main reason why we came here is for trade.
The Russian Gothic Empire came with enough excellent goods, hoping to exchange them here.
There are enough goods and wealth.
Of course, Zoroastrian is only our first stop. " "So that's it."
Hearing what the other party said, Mushahan was slightly relieved, but at the same time a little disappointed.
I said I was relieved because trade was a relatively common wish.
As an empire, Zoroaster pursued a policy of encouraging trade.
So he believed that no one would refuse this.
The disappointment was because the other party didn't sound like they wanted to intervene in this area.
Perhaps his monarch did not give him such an order.
In this case, the expectation of receiving assistance from the Russian Gothic Empire is likely to be disappointed.
And if even people like the Russian Gothic Empire are unwilling to lend a helping hand to the Zoroastrian Empire, then it will be obvious what the ultimate fate of this empire will be.
Mushahan felt depressed when he thought that today, hundreds of years later, the Zoroastrians had to be enslaved, defeated, and accept a tragic fate just like they did back then.
There is no interest in leading these messengers anymore.
Looking at the other party, the disappointment was palpable.
Opposite him, little Franz looked calm on the surface, but he was sneering slightly in his heart.
The so-called hard to get is nothing more than this.
If we bring these kinds of assistance with great fanfare right from the start, even if the other party will eventually accept it.
There will also be murmuring in my heart.
Why does the other party want to help you, what is the other party's intention, and what kind of benefits does the other party want to get from you.
Thinking this way, the original gratitude will turn into caution and vigilance.
As a result, it is absolutely impossible to play as happily as before.
"So, you have to pretend to be reluctant first.
But at the same time, you have to show that you do have this ability.
You have to make the other party take the initiative to ask for you, and make the other party willingly give you enough conditions and benefits.
Then he reluctantly agrees.
This is not only good for the empire, but also good for them, because the alliance formed in this way is stronger and more cherished than the alliance obtained through door-to-door sales. " Recalling the tricks William gave him before leaving, little Franz felt proud and a little emotional at the same time.
Indeed, just as William said, everything is under the control of this powerful and wise leader.

It was precisely because of the leadership of Wilhelm von Hereford that the Russian Gothic Empire and its large border areas were able to develop so rapidly and be unified in just a few years, and then became the most powerful empire in the world.
One of the most powerful countries.
"All this is the credit of His Majesty the Great Emperor."
Little Franz thought secretly in his heart. 160420oshow7:
