Capítulo 167: Chapter 54, Lolita Nurturing Plan

Constantinople

A negotiation determining the fate of three empires began, with the Russian representative Alexander Menshikov, the Austrian representative Metstetz, and Herdegel Pasha of the Ottoman Empire present.

The three were like drawn swords and tight crossbows, and thus a negotiation full of gunpowder commenced.

In fact, it wasn't quite like that; at diplomatic occasions, everyone still tried to show restraint, and the negotiation started off quite harmoniously.

Aside from Herdegel Pasha's somewhat gloomy expression, the atmosphere of the negotiation was relatively harmonious. The negotiations between Menshikov and Metstetz went very smoothly.

The content had already been agreed upon in the secret treaty between the two countries; it was hard not to get along even if they tried when discussing it out in the open.

The Ottomans attempted to use the conflicting interests of the Russians and Austrians in the Balkan region to divide their strategic goals, but to no avail.
