Li Xiang's favorite was cooking, but it was a pity that the Poles did not give him a chance to continue to show off. Two days after the fall of Krakow, Karl sent a message through Weiser: "The Polish minister made an appointment with me and the British, French and American ambassadors. Queen Mother held five-party talks, and the ambassadors of Britain, France and the United States have agreed and, at the request of Poland, suggested that the Self-Determination Army temporarily suspend its offensive."
It is certain that the British and French ministers will participate in the talks, but the United States, which pursues isolationism after the war, actually came to intervene. This cannot but be said to be the great power of Freemasonry.
Li Xiang asked Karl to do his best to at least guarantee the ownership of the Katowice and Krakow areas.
"Your Majesty, ask Karl to inform the other representatives of the four parties that the negotiation location is set at the Wawel Palace Castle to declare our actual control over Krakow." Xi suddenly raised his head and suggested.
"Good idea." Li Xiang gave Xiang a very appreciative look and told Karl her suggestion. Karl also thought this suggestion was very good. The Poles still don't understand what agreement they have reached with Britain and France. If Britain and France agree to the negotiation location Settling in the Wawel Palace Castle would be tantamount to directly recognizing Krakow as part of the soon-to-be-established Principality of Silesia, and the protests of the Poles could be ignored.
Of course, Li Xiang would not participate in such a time-consuming and laborious matter in person, leaving all the power to Karl. There is no doubt about Karl's loyalty. Li Xiang is very reassured. Moreover, he is a professional and was born into a Junker noble. Regardless of his ability or The background status is sufficient for this negotiation. Now, Li Xiang has a more important thing to do, which is to stabilize the Katowice region. He left the issues in the Krakow area to the Jews. The Jews were very grateful for Li Xiang's trust. They not only actively mobilized their local compatriots, but also spent a lot of money to hire mercenaries from Switzerland and the United States. The mercenaries are now rushing to Krakow. Krakow area, so there is no need to worry about the Krakow area. The primary issue before Li Xiang now is to eradicate all threats in the Katowice area, completely control it before the start of formal negotiations, and firmly control this coal-rich province. This will also allow Karl I am more confident to challenge the Poles.
As the saying goes, it is easy to gain territory but difficult to stabilize it. Although Li Xiang used the firepower, mobility and air superiority of the air and land fighters to defeat the Polish army and control most of the towns inhabited by Germans in the Katowice area, including the city of Katowice, as well as Krakow, There are still more than ten towns near Katowice in the hands of the Poles. In addition, the ownership of Silesia has not been determined in the past two years, and the situation is chaotic. The Free Army, dark creatures and bandits are rampant, and there are also people like Deimos who dominate the mountain. There are also a lot of alchemists, plus the ethnic issues that have not been resolved before the First World War. It can be said that although the place is not big, there are many problems.
Xi assigned Li Xiang a plan based on priorities. According to this plan, Li Xiang, led by Weiser, first came to Coranto City.
Coranto City is an underground city under the management of the dwarf Count Fausta. The population is mainly dwarves and dwarves. It has the world's top metal fusion alchemy and puppet mechanical alchemy. It is a city built on mineral mining and manufacturing. industrial city. Through trade cooperation with Katowice City, Coranto City earns huge profits by exporting coal and various machinery and puppets, thereby buying back rare metals and daily necessities. Coranto's industrial products are of very high quality and enjoy a high reputation around the world, especially cutting-edge weapons and precision instruments, which are very popular.
The dwarves are indifferent to the struggles between countries and always remain absolutely neutral. No matter who comes to do business with them, as long as the price is right, they don't care who the business partner is. In this city, as long as you abide by the rules of the city, the dwarves will welcome you. If you violate these rules, you will face the alchemical weapons of the dwarves. The dwarves are all one-minded, and their only criterion for judging outsiders is whether they follow the rules. Because of this, this place has gradually become the largest black market in Central Europe. The Free Army and bandits not only buy weapons here, but also buy weapons from the Free Army. The leader and several notorious bandits are hiding in this city.
Although this city is under Li Xiang's territory, the power of the dwarves cannot be underestimated. Dwarves are mostly ingenious technicians. They can be found in places rich in minerals, such as Ruhr, Donbas, Kursk, Krivoy Rog there are dwarf cities. The dwarves are very united. If you offend any one clan, you will be ostracized by all the dwarves, and you will never want to do business with them again.
In order not to fall out with the dwarves, Li Xiang could only use some unconventional means to eradicate several leaders and bandits of the Free Army.

"Ah, what did I see? There is such a perfect alchemy armor in the world!"
Li Xiang and Ophelia had just arrived at the underground passage leading to Coranto City when a loud voice came from the side.
Li Xiang turned around and saw a muscular man about 1.5 meters tall with a big beard.Run this way. He ran to Sophia's side and carefully studied the armor on Sophia's body without any scruples.
Finding that there was no lust in Big Beard¡¯s eyes, but simply joy at seeing him, Li Xiang hurriedly told Sophia not to do anything and let Big Beard study.
"Strange, what kind of alloy is this? How come I have never seen it before! There is no alchemy formation engraved on it, where does the power come from? The structure of the weapon is really strange. It doesn't even have an alchemy formation. Is it powerful" The bearded man said on his side Studying while making bursts of exclamations.
"Dwarf, are you done yet?" Half an hour later, Ophelia saw that the other party had no intention of stopping. She couldn't bear it anymore and called the bearded man impatiently.
The bearded man raised his head and looked around, and finally looked down at Ophelia, stretched out his hand to pat Ophelia on the head, and said in a low voice, "Don't make trouble, kid, I'll treat you to a beer later."
"Equete, stop Ophelia quickly."
Not wanting the purpose of this trip to fail before it even started, Li Xiang hurriedly asked Aiquette to stop Ophelia's movements. She was drawing an alchemy formation, preparing to teach the dwarf who offended him a profound lesson.
Aiquette came to Ophelia in a flash, took her 5 meters away, and untied her.
Ye looked at Aiquette in surprise. This was the first time she saw Aiquette use his abilities, so she was very surprised that there were people in the world who had the same abilities as hers.
After this episode, the dwarf finally stopped studying the armor and saluted Li Xiang. He smiled boldly and said, "Human, my name is Berg Wildhammer. Welcome to Coranto. Please allow me to serve as your guide. When you visit this city, I believe you will fall in love with it.¡±
"Thank you then, Brother Berg." Li Xiang accepted the bearded man's kindness with a smile. The character of dwarves is very similar to that of Germans. They are rigorous, practical, diligent, serious, and serious. As a foreign race, dwarves are usually suspicious of strangers and will only show full enthusiasm for those who win their trust and admiration. The bearded man volunteered to be their guide, and seemed to be fascinated by the armor. Li Xiang was also happy to receive the kindness of a dwarf, which was undoubtedly helpful to him during his trip.
