Chapter 566: Fishing in Troubled Waters (1)
Hathaway handed over the matter of contact with Zoan, the second prince of the Kingdom of Sri Lanka, to Sullivan. After Hughes, he left it alone and came to Lancais. As for formal diplomatic notes, a letter from the Lord's House would suffice, and although she asked for the suspension of commercial relations with Sri Lanka, such prohibitions were all too common...... This does not mean that Hathawayken suffers this dumb loss, since His Highness Zoe chose the Bukharins in order to win strong foreign aid, then he also has to pay the price for this choice.
Late autumn in Lancastes City is full of peace and tranquility, compared to North Carolina it is like a quiet haven, and North Carlo is a messy fishpond, and it may be a blessing to be able to live here in a quiet place, Hathaway thought, but this is not her own life, and she knows that.
From Lancastes City to the west, it can be directly inserted into the hinterland of Zimbwe Province - the Northwest Plain, the northwest region of Zimwe Province once fell into the hands of the Orc Empire, and at present, except for a few cities and areas close to the territory of the original Orc Empire have been occupied, the orc army in other areas has been withdrawn, that is, most of the lords of Zimbwe are now back in the possession of the Odiga Empire, under the actual control of Dietrich.
After the rebels of the Southern Will Confederation captured Heidelberg in one fell swoop, they announced a temporary suspension of military operations, not only to drive the digestion of the occupied areas, but also to appease the surrounding lords. At the same time, the Federation of Southern Will is also further improving its relations with neighboring countries and regions in order to consolidate its position. Recognition by other countries. With the rapid changes in the domestic situation of the Otiga Empire, after consolidating its legal status, the Southern Confederation became more and more interested in Hathaway, who rose in the north of the Ostiga Empire, especially the marquisess's marquis.
Although the last time the Bell family lost their wife and lost their troops, it attracted a lot of jokes, but it does not mean that there are no other families in the Southern Will Federation who have the same idea...... In their minds, women always have to get married, otherwise who will give such a large territory to in the future?
If Hathaway knew what they were thinking, she would have told them - too much!
Dark yellow golden lily. Blue big moon orchid. Purple geranium, Hathaway took a deep breath, mixed with the floral fragrance is rich and intense, so that Hathaway's whole body seems to be immersed in a rich fragrance. It's intoxicating. It's a rare treat for Hathaway, and it's definitely a good time to relax and unwind.
Lie on the lawn on the riverbank. At this time, Hathaway didn't want to see anyone, and she didn't want to think about anything, she just wanted to lie quietly like this. Feel the sunset as it sets.
News of Hathaway's arrival in Lanches spread immediately, as was the ensuing presence of a thousand personal guards of humans, orcs, half-elves, and barbarians...... Of course, this can't be concealed from the people who have been waiting for it, whether it is Dietrich or the representatives of the Southern Will Federation, they all learned of the arrival of the Lord Hathaway who won a great victory in the Battle of North Carolina at the first time
Dietrich is still reserved, and still seems to want to be the same as before, Hathaway thinks it's funny, the reality has changed drastically, if you can't see the situation clearly and still be there to be self-absorbed, what is the necessary value of maintaining so-called pride and dignity in this situation?
Reality determines everything, and even the reality of the situation is not dared to face or always hope that things will develop in a good direction, which is undoubtedly the performance of cowards, and now whether it is Dietrich in Maple Dew City or Caesar in Pierceburg, they are showing this taste with a bit of innocence, what are they expecting?
Looking forward to your own burst of kindness and save them?
Or is this delicate situation still maintained?
But how long can this last? That's self-deception!
This is obviously unrealistic, but now Hathaway can't ignore the reasons for the mood of the people, if it weren't for this reason, Hathaway would have taken action to devour these two puppets a long time ago.
In contrast, Caesar seems to be much more sensible, the messenger from Pierceburg has arrived, and it seems that Caesar has realized many problems, and he needs to deal with the existence of the harsh reality calmly.
Hathaway also regrets that this is the reality, the former crown prince is now reduced to a vassal, this is a reality that no one wants to face, Hathaway also feels that it is difficult to deal with, although it is said that the original Fei Wenlie XVIII supported him for his own purposes, and later tried to subvert her, but such a public subversion of the rule of the Fei Wenlie Dynasty is not what she wants, that will make her own years of hard work to cultivate the popularity of the people suffer a major loss, she hopes to use a gradual and silent way to solve these two problems. But with Atlanta and Bukharin, she didn't need to have so many scruples.
The emissaries of the Confederation of Southern Will were sent by the Duchy of Bilonia, and they seemed to take this marriage plan very seriously, and Hathaway knew that it was not that he was a person who was worthy of being liked, but that the situation made many people value his status and strength.
Frante. Bilonia, who is said to be the most brilliant genius of the Bilonian family, is also the future Grand Prince, but so what?
It's not that Hathaway is not interested in boys, but she is not interested in marriage at the moment, especially in this kind of marriage that is too straightforward in purpose. Of course, this does not represent the future, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
Lanches City has always been under the custodian of Hathaway from the legal point of view of the Empire, and before that, Hathaway had repeatedly signaled to Dietrich that he needed the Lancastes region to create an important transit hub for the Cordillera in the Northwest Territories. But now, Dietrich still refuses to let go of Lancastes, and has never given Hathaway a clear answer.
It seems that his influence has become unbearable for the other side, and if he loses Lancais, perhaps Dietrich will no longer have any room to bargain with him.
But is he unwilling to hand over the Lancastes region to her?
The corners of Hathaway's mouth smiled slightly, childish, childish. Everyone seems to make these mistakes, and why bother to force them when they know they are not desirable?
Caesar has clearly thrown an olive branch and officially given Lankallows to himself, but this generosity is based on the condition that Lancastes belongs to Dietrich, and everyone will be generous, and Hathaway certainly understands this.
The Port of Lancastes is very important to itself, the Port of Mardanton is a little too small, and the location is not too good, with the whole Lancastes area as a fulcrum. Your sphere of influence can be greatly expanded. In particular, it affects the northwest region of the entire Ostiga empire to the west, and the entire Confederation of the Southern Will to the south, and can be like the two ends of a dumbbell, one end is the northern vast area of Otiga. At one end is the western region with Lankallows as the core.
The new region of the Otiga Empire, which took a year to paint, was finally delivered to Hathaway. Hathaway stared silently at the map in front of her. The once-mighty Ostiga empire is being torn apart by these dotted lines. Confederation of the Southern Will in the south, Atlanta in the northwest, and Bukharin in the center. The maple dew in the west and the Fort Pierces control area in the east, together with their own territory in the north, make for such a somewhat strange pattern.
The Confederation of Southern Will also seems to be tired, although Hathaway has always suspected that they can easily take Maple Dew and Pierceborg, and even the Atlante-controlled area, but the Confederation of Southern Will seems to be very content with the status quo, and it seems that they will be satisfied with taking the imperial capital of Heidelberg, of course, for them, the glory of a Heidelberg is far higher than other places, but Hathaway does not believe that they are only here for glory, they are not knights, but a family that aims to restore the status of the ancient family.
But now that is the case, the army of the Confederation of Southern Will has died down, and the major families have established their own principalities, and they seem to be somewhat content with the status quo, and have begun to vigorously develop the economy, eager to obtain the recognition of their legitimacy by other countries...... The world is in chaos.
This is Hathaway from Cecia. Hughes's conclusions from the report on the actual situation in the Federally controlled area of the Southern Will.
It is incredible, that the rebels and the vanquished were able to get along so quickly, and that relations between the two sides were becoming more harmonious, and it seemed that on the one hand, there were indeed people in the rebels who knew how to win hearts and minds, and on the other hand, the Ostiga Empire was indeed somewhat unpopular.
Hathaway shook her head slightly, looking at the strange shape of her own territory on the map, most of the northwest of the Ordga Empire was already in her hands, whether it was in terms of territory or population, other lords in the Ordga Empire could not compare with her.
However, his influence in the central and eastern regions is still very weak, and the road ahead is still very long, and at present, he still wants to expand his sphere of influence in the northwest region as much as possible, especially in the Lancaiss region, and he must hold it in his hands.
Lanches City is too far away from its northern possessions, and the land part is separated by Atlanta and a large area of forest, and if this passage cannot be opened, it will be empty to establish a trade hub in the Northwest.
Hathaway had set herself the goal of all of Ortiga, but there were two main obstacles before her, one was the resistance of the remnants, including Bukharin, and the hostility of the possible union of secular and religious forces, and the second factor was the most troublesome.
The remnants of resistance can be eradicated and crushed by military force, but the hostility and obstruction of secular and religious forces are likely to make you have to pay a considerable price for every step forward, perhaps even two steps back.
Neither the Fivines nor the worldly powers such as Erabeni and Fernando would tolerate easy access to what once belonged to them.
Needless to say, the Church of Nature is also their dream wish to be able to flip themselves over and then step on one foot so that they never turn over!
The only thing that works in their favor is that these forces that oppose themselves are not monolithic, and the contradictions that exist between them, both in the secular forces and within the natural church, are their own opportunities.
However, just because an opportunity exists doesn't mean you're going to get it right away. The present situation is in a delicate equilibrium, and the internal struggle within the Church is inextricably linked, and a strange state of peace is maintained between Maple Dew and Pierceburg; However, the relationship between Atlan, Bukharin and himself is somewhat uncertain and has to remain silent because of the ambiguous attitude of the Yugoslav Federation behind them, and this strange situation constitutes a wonderful balance in the current Ortiga Empire.
Perhaps an external force is needed to break this balance, and only by breaking this balance and making the situation chaotic can you get a chance from the chaos.
Hathaway's fingers tapped lightly on the map, and her eyes wandered over the map. Atlanta? Or maple dew? Where is the best place to start, and now it doesn't seem like the right place to go.
Hathaway set her sights on the south-central, damn the Confederation of the Southern Will, when will it also become sane? If they can attack Atlanta and Bukharin, then all problems will cease to exist.
Hathaway has some regrets, the muddy waters strategy can avoid public opinion-oriented accusations to the greatest extent, and all the blame can be put on the Southern Will Federation, but it is a pity that the Southern Will Federation behaves too rationally and calmly, so that she can't realize her plan.
However, now it seems that it is better to make a fuss about the Southern Will Federation, if they can intervene, then all the forces in the country will focus on them, and they will have a chance to realize their plans.
Cecia. Hughes came to Hathaway's study again, he was a little strange, he had already thought about the situation in the Heidelberg area that he had given to the lord, could it be that the lord was still not satisfied?
I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
