In this kind of dinner with the theme of "enjoyment", discussing business with others is a behavior that doesn't look at the atmosphere and occasion.

Su Cheng naturally understands this. If he can, Su Cheng doesn't want to bother Jacob tonight.

However, this matter is really important. We can't talk about it.

Although in history, it is a very common behavior to recruit and surrender captured enemies.

However, Su Cheng still can't accept it. Why should he surrender Alan?

Recruit the Franks who killed at least nearly 100000 soldiers of the British Empire and brought a lot of trouble to the British Empire.

Su Cheng believes that most of the Knights must be very unhappy.

Jacob, whose face became ugly in an instant, drank the wine in his glass with a calm face——

Touch!

——Heavily put the glass back on the table.

"... I was also strongly opposed to the surrender of Alan at the beginning..."

"Not long after Mr. Cheng captured Alan, gozewen and I went into the prison to meet Alan."

"Mr. Cheng, I should have told you that my proudest ability is to have a pair of eyes that are good at recognizing people."

"At the first sight of Alan, I felt that Alan must not surrender!"

As soon as Jacob's voice fell, Su Cheng was stunned, and then asked:

"Mr. Jacob, why do you say that?"

“……”

Jacob was silent for a moment, then sighed and said:

"I can't tell. In short, at the first sight of Alan, my intuition told me that Alan Jones must be killed on the spot and must not surrender!"

"But... He can't listen to me..."

Speaking of this, Jacob's face showed pain.

"No matter how I advised gozewen, he was determined to surrender Alan."

"He also gave me several reasons to recruit Alan."

"First, Alan can speak Britannia. Don't worry about language barrier."

Su Cheng nodded from time to time while listening carefully.

Su Cheng knew that Allen could speak britannian.

After capturing Allen in the Wei River annihilation war, Su Cheng had a brief chat with Allen.

Allen speaks good Britannia. Although there are still some strange accents and tones in it, he can communicate with britannians normally.

Britannia is very similar to Frankish.

Therefore, whether britannians learn French or Franks learn Britannia, it is very simple.

Allen spent most of his decades of military career dealing with the British Empire.

Therefore, Su Cheng was not surprised that Allen could speak britannian.

"Second, we Britannia once recruited many people from the Frankish Empire, and most of them made more or less contributions to Britannia after they were recruited into the Britannia Empire. Gozeven is willing to believe that Allen can contribute to the British Empire like these people. "

"As for Article 3..."

Jacob paused, sighed again, and then continued:

"The third is that our empire urgently needs stronger knights to help the Empire tide over the current difficulties."

After hearing Jacob's words, Su Cheng's face changed slightly.

Jacob's words are a little heavy

Jacob filled his glass with wine, raised it to his lips, took a sip gently, and then continued:

"Although the previous rescue war of Lund kingdom was the victory of our britannian Empire, we have to admit that we also lost a lot in this war."

"More than 10000 elite soldiers of the order of Gabriel are gone. Every soldier of the three major Knights of Britannia is undoubtedly very valuable. More than 10000 knights and the most elite soldiers of the order of Gabriel have been lost at one time, which is a considerable loss for our empire."

"However, this is not the biggest loss in the rescue war of Lund kingdom. The soldiers are gone and can be easily replenished."

"But... A knight is gone, especially a four Royal knight. This is our biggest loss in the rescue war of Lund kingdom."

"Four Royal Knights - the strongest Knight except the integrated knight. Now we in Britannia have only a few names. Losing any one will bring unpredictable losses to our empire. "

"Our britannian empire is now at war with the Frankish empire in the East and the Lorraine empire in the south. It is also possible to enter a state of war with the holy Helan empire in the north at any time. Under such a severe situation, none of the four Royal Knights can be lost."

"In the rescue war of Lund Kingdom, we lost four Royal Knights Nicholas, which made gozeven very anxious."

"Gozewen and I have been friends for decades. I know him very well. The two reasons listed before are nonsense. Only this third is the real reason for him to surrender Alan - in order to add new and stronger four Royal Knights at the fastest speed."

"Alas..."

Jacob sighed again, drank all the wine in the glass, and continued:

"Gozewen, he... Also went to recruit Alan for Britannia's sake. Although I still think it's inappropriate to recruit Alan, I'm embarrassed to say anything, so gozewen let gozewen recruit Alan."

"Gozewen went to Allen's prison seven times and persuaded him to surrender seven times. After the seventh time, Allen agreed to surrender to Britannia."

"Then, a few days ago, gozewen informed you of a big meeting and informed you of Alan's surrender to us and becoming the new four Royal Knights of our empire."

After hearing Jacob's words, Su Cheng, with a heavy expression, nodded and said:

"So it is... I see."

Jacob looked at Su Cheng with a heavy expression, sighed slightly, and then said:

"Mr. Cheng, I know you have some complaints about Alan's transformation from a mortal enemy to a companion, but please bear with him a little."

"My intuition has always told me that there is something wrong with Alan, so I am also unhappy and worried about Alan becoming our knight in Britannia. I have some doubts that this Alan doesn't really want to surrender to us. "

"But please don't worry. I'll keep an eye on Alan. If Alan makes any strange move, even if it will annoy gozewen, I'll take Alan down immediately!"

Su Cheng smiled bitterly and said:

"Mr. Jacob, please bear with me a little," should not be said to me. You should say to the people headed by Eliza who have a grudge against Alan. "

"To be honest, I'm worried about Eliza. Mr. Nicholas is Eliza's very beloved elder. Alan killed Mr. Nicholas, that is to say, Alan is Eliza's enemy. He finally defeated and captured the enemy. As a result, he became his companion in the twinkling of an eye. "

"You can imagine Eliza's mood when an enemy becomes a companion. Therefore, Mr. Jacob, what you just said should be said to Eliza. "

"Miss Eliza..." Jacob muttered, "yes... When I'm free, I'll go to Mr. Iser's house and visit Mr. Iser and miss Eliza. Mr. Nicholas is a good friend of Mr. Iser, so he recruited Alan. Iser must be very uncomfortable..."

Speaking of this, Jacob suddenly put on a strange smile and said to Su Cheng in a joking tone:

"Mr. Cheng, you seem to have said 'I'm quite worried about Eliza' just now. You seem to be very interested in Miss Eliza."

Before Su Cheng answered, Jacob continued:

"What? Mr. Cheng, are you interested in Miss Eliza? Or do you like Miss Eliza? "

"Poof!"

Su Cheng, who was drinking, spewed out the wine in his mouth after listening to Mr. Jacob.

Su Cheng said as he flustered away the leftover drinks on his mouth:

"Mr. Jacob! What are you talking about? I'm just expressing my concern for my friends! Why do you pull it so far, to love? "

However, as if he hadn't heard Su Cheng's words, Jacob continued to say to himself:

"It seems that after the rescue war in Lund Kingdom, your relationship has changed a lot. Before, you said 'Miss Eliza' very respectfully. Now you call people 'Eliza' directly and intimately."

"In fact, Miss Eliza is a good girl. I should have told you before? Although Miss Eliza is a somewhat arrogant person, she is generally a lovely girl with a good temper. "

"Mr. Cheng, if you like her or like her, you can go and have a look. But first of all, Miss Eliza is not easy to pursue. Since Miss Eliza became an adult, there are countless people who pursue Miss Eliza and propose to Mr. Iser, but they were all rejected by Miss Eliza. "

"Over the years, no one has been able to successfully pursue Miss Eliza, but no wonder, after all, Miss Eliza's mate selection standard is too harsh."

Hearing this, Su Cheng suddenly felt a little curious, so he asked Jacob:

"Mr. Jacob, what are Eliza's criteria for choosing a mate? It's so harsh that after so many years, no one can successfully pursue Eliza. "

"There is only one criterion for Miss Eliza's mate selection, that is' a peer Knight stronger than her '."

"Well, I understand why Eliza has been single until now. A peer Knight better than Eliza, where can I find it... "

"Hahaha, so Mr. Iser is also very upset about this. He has mentioned to miss Eliza several times to reduce the conditions for mate selection, but miss Eliza still adheres to this mate selection standard and is unwilling to lower the standard. I really don't understand why Miss Eliza insists that her future husband must be a better knight than her. "

Then Jacob smiled bitterly and shook his head gently.

Su Cheng nodded deeply.

Jacob took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and said:

"It's almost the beginning of the banquet, and there are more and more people. Mr. Cheng, let me give you a piece of advice. You'd better hurry around now and have fun. If you're later, you may be unable to do anything."

"Huh? Mr. Jacob, why? "

After hearing Su Cheng's question, Jacob smiled strangely.

"Because this year-end dinner is not only attended by the meritorious heroes of the year, but also attended by many nobles from all over the country and at all levels. According to the regulations of Britannia, nobles from all over the country and at all levels can take their families to the year-end dinner."

"At the year-end dinner over the years, most of the families brought by the nobles are their unmarried daughters."

Then the smile on Jacob's face became more and more strange.
