In Kakozhia, there is a well in the immediate vicinity of the border, which the Kakozhiya people do not usually use, and because of the lack of water in the territory, the citizens of Jezelça often cross the border to get water from Kakozhia.

This habit has been going on for many years, but there have been no problems, and the Kakozhiya border guards have turned a blind eye.

But after the civil war, the situation in Kakozhiya was different, and both the army and the police were vigilant and would take timely action against any action that might endanger the country.

However, Jezerca did not know the current affairs, and one village was in a crowd and sent hundreds of people to fetch water.

Such a large-scale cross-border movement had to be stopped, and the Kakozhiya border guards drove all the villagers back to Jezelca, where physical clashes broke out between the two sides, and many Jezelça villagers were beaten.

Unwilling to suffer a loss, Jezelca's army immediately retaliated by shooting at the Kakozhiya border guards across the border, killing three and wounding two.

Not to be outdone, Kakozhia immediately shelled the Jezelça border post, killing eight soldiers.

Feeling that he had found an opportunity, Hovel immediately declared that, on the basis of traditional custom, the sovereignty of this well, together with the surrounding area, should belong to Jezelca.

Subsequently, Jezelca's forces began to assemble in the border area in preparation for a full-scale invasion.

Originally, Howell wanted to invade Kakozhia, but there was no excuse, and now there is finally an excuse, and that is this well.

It was only a bloody case caused by the right to use the well, and then it was about to turn into a war, and international politics has been so delicate for many years.

Kakozhia also began to gather forces and confront Jezelça across the border.

These two small countries have been forgotten by the world, and the world has recently attracted the attention of the Asia-Pacific Regional Summit Forum, and there is no time to take care of these two small countries, so this imminent war has been ignored.

Only a few media outlets have made some reports, and as you can see from the news footage, the situation is very tense.

On both sides of the border, both countries deployed large artillery groups, while tanks and armored vehicles formed clusters, covering infantry ready to attack each other.

These two small countries are not weak in terms of their overall military strength, which far exceeds that of other surrounding countries, and each has its own strengths.

Kakozhia was well equipped, and Jezelza was in high spirits.

Under normal circumstances, the two countries were evenly matched, and Hovel decided that Kakozhia was no match for Jezelcha after a civil war that had been severely depleted in military strength.

However, Howell was wrong, and Kakozhia found a strong ally, the Blood Lion mercenaries.

After the civil strife subsided, the Blood Lion mercenaries remained in Kakozhia, and Amelia instructed the Ministry of Finance to pay the full cost of the Blood Lion mercenaries.

Now that the situation is so tense, the South African base quickly increased its troops to Kakozhiya, which now reaches four regiments.

Two of these regiments, under the command of Zhao Xuan, had already maneuvered to the border area and were ready to fight at any time.

Four fully equipped regiments can already fight a small-scale local war, and they are a force that should not be underestimated.

What's more, the Blood Lion mercenaries have undergone rigorous training, and all of them have shown a high degree of professionalism in their marching formations, far surpassing the regular defense forces of many backward countries.

Hovel's intelligence was relatively lagging behind, and at first he couldn't figure out when the Kakozhiya army became very strong, but after some investigation, he realized that there were international mercenaries who had joined.

Howell didn't know about Cang Hao and Amelia's friendship, but Kakozhia was so rich that he could afford to hire international mercenaries, which was nothing incomprehensible.

The problem is that Howell was going to capture the whole of Kakozhia in one fell swoop, and in this case it was a bit indecisive. Because once this war breaks out, the best outcome for Howell will be a lose-lose situation.

As a result, Howell did not dare to act rashly and stopped at the current confrontation.

For Kakozhia, the top priority at the moment is to restore the country's reconstruction, and since the other side has not invaded itself, there is certainly no reason to take the initiative to attack the other side.

The situation on the border has not eased, tanks and armored vehicles on both sides are often driving along the border line, troops are holding exercises of various scales, and artillery groups are also in a state of readiness, although a full-scale war has not started for the time being.

If things are just so simple, then the next one will be very simple, either in the end, Howell Mingjin will withdraw his troops, or the Blood Lion mercenaries will continue to increase their troops, and even Cang Hao himself will personally go to supervise the battle and completely defeat Howell.

But things are not so simple, and the next development trend is unexpected, and there is an accident in Kakozhiya.

There are two people who are most important in the domestic politics of Kakozhiya, the first is of course the king, and the second is the prime minister of the government.

Generally speaking, the king of a constitutional monarchy is only symbolic and does not interfere in government affairs on weekdays. Kakozhia is a monarchy, and the situation is different, the king is the supreme leader of the country and has the final say on government affairs.

Monarchies usually have many drawbacks, national politics is completely the rule of man, because the king is hereditary, not elected by the people or parliament, so the king's personal character directly determines the overall situation of the country.

If it is an elected leader of the country, the voters will definitely pick the best, at least one that is not so bad.

And there is no choice in royal politics at all, and no royal family in the world can guarantee that every generation of kings is very good, and every few years, there will always be a few disobedient and perverse people in the family.

In fact, not only the royal family, but also the families of ordinary people, there is no family without scum, this is human nature.

It can be said that there is such a strange circle in kingship all over the world, the first two generations of kings are particularly good, the last two generations become very mediocre, and then they are tyrants and faint kings.

This is the case with the Chinese dynasties, and so is the royal families in Europe.

Speaking of which, it is not necessary for every generation of kings to be excellent, even if all of them are just mediocre people, then it is already a blessing for all the people, but this is not the case.

In order to prevent the country from falling into such a circle, the ancestors of Kakozhia devised a system in which the king and the government checked and supervised each other.

The prime minister of the government is elected by the people, and if the royal family of Kakozhia unfortunately gives birth to a tyrant or a dumb king, then under the checks and balances of this prime minister, it will not be too evil.

This means that the king and the prime minister need to make decisions on the affairs of Kakozhia, and no one party can have a monopoly on power.

At present, the prime minister of Kakozhia is called Rebze, and after Amelia ascended the throne, she immediately organized a general election and elected Rebze, the prime minister.

Born into a family of Kakozhia politicians, Rebze is experienced in politics and has a wide range of contacts, and is also very loyal to the Kakozhia royal family.

Everything was very good, and the rebuilding of Kakozhiya was able to go smoothly thanks to Rebzer's personal efforts.

But after the Jezelcha soldiers pressed the border, things quietly changed, and Rebze's performance was not the same as in the past.

At the outset, Rebzer met with Amelia in private and begged Her Majesty to seriously consider Howell's proposal.

Amelia was furious and not only refused, but also reprimanded Rebzer.

Rebzer was unimpressed, and the other day he met again, this time not to discuss the proposal, but to think that Kakozhia should make peace with Jezel.

Of course, Amelia did not want war to break out, but the main responsibility for the current situation lay with Jezelca, and Amelia thought that even if peace was negotiated, Howell should come to meet her, and there was no reason for her to take the initiative to negotiate with Howell. If he did, perhaps Howell would have thought that Kakozhia was afraid of him and would make more moves on the border.

What's more, there must always be an opportunity for any negotiation, and you can't be cheeky and go directly to someone, but there is no such opportunity at the moment.

Rebzer remained unimpressed by Amelia's attitude, and on the third day he did not meet him again, but ran to Jezelca.

It must be noted that Rebzer did not take refuge in Jezelca, but went to negotiate with Hovel.

No one knows what Rebzer and Howell were talking about, but on the fourth day, the two men signed a peace agreement.

The news was also quickly reported, and it can be seen from the picture that Rebzer and Howell are shaking hands with smiles on their faces, and their cordial attitude towards each other makes it feel like they will be hugging each other in the next second.

Next, Jezerca unilaterally announced the withdrawal of troops, the tanks and armored vehicles returned to the base, the artillery group also lowered its muzzle and re-covered with gun jackets, and all the troops returned to their original positions.

In the dispute between the two countries, unilaterally announcing the withdrawal of troops is the greatest concession, not to mention that Kakozhia's side is still in full position, and the muzzle and muzzle of the gun are pointed directly at Jezelca. In such a situation, Jezelca's unilateral withdrawal of troops requires great courage.

When Amelia saw the news report, she was dumbfounded, and for such a major matter as the two countries negotiating peace, Rebzer went alone without her consent beforehand.

What is even more outrageous is why Howell would make such a big concession, Amelia suspects that Rebzer may have betrayed the national interest in exchange for Howell's withdrawal of troops.

When Rebzer returned, Amelia immediately summoned him to the palace and asked what was going on.

Rebzer's explanation was very bland, to the effect that he was worried about the current situation, and felt that the country really could not break out at the moment, so he went back to Hovel single-handedly.

Amelia questioned whether she had betrayed her national interests, but Rebzer firmly denied it, claiming that she was only in love with Howell, after all, Kakozhia and Jezelcha are both small countries, and they should remain united under the watchful eye of the surrounding powers. Traditionally, this region was the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union, and the politics of all countries were influenced by the Soviet Union, and later the Soviet Union collapsed and country E inherited the mantle of the Soviet Union. However, the national strength of country E declined sharply and it was unable to inherit the sphere of influence of the former Soviet Union, so the countries in the region gained real independence. If a war breaks out between Kakozhia and Jezelca, the result will be that the national strength of both countries will be weakened, and country E will surely return and control both countries...... Rebzer assured that he had said these things to Howell, and told Amelia that Howell was actually a very reasonable person who had agreed to withdraw his troops only after he had been moved by his own words.
