Chapter 80: The King's Way of Thinking
(Sorry, I went last night.) In addition, at the end of the year, there are more and more things, and the update may be unstable in the near future, please forgive me, brothers!)
After hearing Ramsay's question, Charlotte did not make up her mind, but asked rhetorically, "Then what do you think?"
"I'm just wondering, is it true that Brent only started the war of revenge because of hatred?"
Charlotte looked at Ramsay in surprise, who was hugging his shoulders with a smirk, and seemed to have a different view on the matter.
Charlotte's mind immediately conjured up the image of Brent and what he had said. In the past, Brent was a more excessive squire than he was in his childhood (Charlotte didn't mess with men and women), but after almost extinction, Brent ......
"You, like me, will one day take on the responsibility of a king. We all grow up slowly, saying lines and actions that are in line with the character's identity because of the change in the role we play. ”
This passage suddenly came to mind, thinking of the changes he had made in the past two years, and made Charlotte realize that he could not judge Brent today by his childhood impressions.
The being named Brent is now the King of Losente, and then the personality of Brent.
"Are you saying that Brent invaded Hoscent out of interest?" Charlotte asked, but before Ramsey could answer, he gave his own answer, "What he wants is the throne of the Empire!"
The voice was several degrees higher, showing Charlotte's inner surprise as she spoke. But soon, his complexion calmed down. He has undoubtedly grown a lot compared to two years ago.
"Yes, that's what I thought. Ramsay laughed, "As the king of Rosente, Brent definitely wants to lead the country further." ”
Charlotte vaguely guessed Brent's strategy. If it takes just two years to restore Rosente's pre-war vitality, it must be a fantasy, if he is not mistaken, he must have reached some agreement with Bruno of the Helm Empire, and the content of the agreement is nothing more than that Helm will provide resources and ask Rosente to invade Hoscent from the rear and so on.
Quite simply, what are the benefits of Rosente and Hocente and Alleppool forming the Southern League? The answer is that there is no benefit.
Not only did the nobles and people in the country hate Hosson to the core, and forming an alliance would risk the instability of the people in the country, but once the alliance was formed, Rosente not only could not get actual support from the alliance, but also had to send troops to support the alliance in the war.
Unless Berent is well fed, he will do this thankless foolish thing for the sake of righteousness!
But with Charlotte's understanding of this cousin, he was not stupid enough to make a wedding dress for the Helm Empire. If the calculation is correct, this guy's calculation is to take the opportunity to invade the territory of Hocent, and at the same time, without beating the sensitive nerves of Grand Duke Marcus, he always maintains the war at a controllable level, and gradually eats away at his interests to strengthen himself.
Then, whether it was to resist the invasion of the Helm Empire or to go north for the throne, Brent was able to hold the initiative in his hands.
Charlotte had to secretly boast "good calculation"!
The best thing about this calculation is that even if Bruno, Marcus, and Elinor could see Brent's calculations, they would have no way to counter it. Bruno needs Brent to contain the forces of the Ullapool-Hocente coalition in the rear, and the Ullapool-Hocente coalition ...... In the face of the Helm Empire's all-country attack, do they still dare to fight back, and what strategy will not be achieved if they are outside the country and first at home?
That's dying early enough!
Charlotte mentioned his conjecture to Ramsay, who agreed with Charlotte, and not only that, but he also praised it with rare praise.
"Although Brent is not strong in personal strength, he is really a rare virtuous monarch when it comes to the overall situation. Ramsay asked, "Guessing what Brent had in mind, I guess the Chief didn't intend to mediate this war at the invitation of Marcus and Elinor, right?"
"Do you think Brent won't agree to mediation?" asked Charlotte.
Ramsay shook his head, "No, I didn't say that. Your Excellency, you are underestimating your international influence. If you were to mediate, Brent would definitely have to gauge the implications, as he knew that his real allies would be the Duchy of Icewind, and perhaps an Elosa, but his allies would never be Bruno's Helm Empire. ”
Charlotte frowned, silent for a while. At this time, he noticed that Ramsey had a look of anticipation in his eyes, and it was clear that this thousand-year-old legend who had gone through countless ups and downs had already had an idea.
"Tell me what you think, Ramsay. Charlotte commanded.
"I don't want to influence your judgment, Chief. Ramsey replied with a respectful bow.
"If you don't tell me what's going on in your heart, that's what really affects my judgment. ”
"Then I might as well be respectful. Ramsey bowed and said, "I think the chaotic situation is in our favor." ”
Charlotte frowned, Ramsey mentioned it slightly, and he guessed the follow-up reason.
"Because the current judgment is based on the situation in the Valcam continent, but if we stand on the huge chess game of the multiverse and observe the situation, the war will undoubtedly be more beneficial to us. The leaders of the nations invaded each other for the sake of ambition, so that the influence of the church would be minimized. Come to think of it, Bruno was bent on crushing the San Lorenzo Empire, and under the odds of that, he would never have been able to follow the Church's instructions to bypass the south-central part of the empire and attack the north. The same reasoning applies to the rest of the forces, and only when they are entangled in this vortex of chaotic interests will they disagree with the church. And now the four major forces of Helm, Hocent, Aleppool, and Rosente in the south are one of the cores. ”
Charlotte's face was ugly.
From the perspective of the general righteousness and the people's livelihood, of course, it is most correct to mediate the war. But if you consider the war with the gods, then not only can he not be this ambassador of peace, but if necessary......
"...... if necessary," Ramsay uttered that terrible suggestion, "we are going to even secretly provoke a scuffle between nations!"
Ramsey suggested that the final decision-making be given to Charlotte. Now, with the values she has developed over the past two decades in sharp conflict with the interests of herself and her organization, Charlotte must make a choice.
Whether to choose to be a person of high character or to abandon the good side of humanity for the good of the organization.
He was drenched in a cold sweat, and subconsciously clenched the railing of the ship's side, his knuckles pale with transparency from the exertion. I don't know how long later, he sighed, "I understand, I won't be this mediator." As for secretly stirring up chaos among countries......"
Charlotte took a deep breath as if she was deprived of oxygen, exhaling the exhaust gas as she said, "If necessary, I will take action." ”
At that moment, Charlotte seemed to be several years older, and her temperament was more tense in the low-key.
Ramsay knelt down on one knee and replied solemnly, "Obey the royal order!"
Charlotte suddenly remembered the words of Lawrence and Brent - one day, you too will become a lion who ignores the sheep.
"Now I'm ......," he muttered, looking at the clear blue sky, and then immediately ordered the boatswain, "Inform the captain, bypass the naval theater and head north!"
From this moment on, Charlotte is no longer the brave boy of Savoieburg. First of all, he is a king who is responsible for his own organization!
This is the way of thinking that belongs to a king!
