"Your Excellency the Governor, if we can achieve the above strategic objectives, we do not need to exterminate the Far Easterners, it is enough to drive the royal family of Kolas to the north of the Gazus Plateau, after which we must change our diplomatic strategy in time, support the kingdom of Kolas, which has only half of the country left, try to prevent the Assanian Empire from advancing north of the Gazso Plateau, and ensure that the Far Eastern regime that retreats to the north maintains a certain sense of existence, but it is impossible to develop into a great power due to the harsh environment of ice and snow. The kingdom of Kolas, whose development potential has been severely weakened, is truly suitable to act as a buffer between our country and the Empire. Steig took the situation in stride.

Meyer applauded Steg's brilliant deduction and said with a smile: "The analysis is very reasonable, Stig, I suggest that you write these analyses into an article, and I will personally submit them to His Highness Colossa, and persuade him to adjust his diplomatic strategy as soon as possible." ”

Stig shook his head lightly, his face gloomy: "Forgive my faux pas, Your Excellency, with the wisdom of His Highness Gorofa, he does not follow the line of thought I said, just because although this line of thought is beneficial to the country, it is not in his personal interests, and he needs to rely on the support of foreign forces to ensure that he succeeds to the throne smoothly." ”

Hearing him say this last sentence, everyone, including Mayer, had a look of surprise on their faces.

Stig noticed the change in everyone's expressions, but instead of reining in his words, he made a more in-depth analysis of this dangerous topic:

"Any person of insight should admit that Canaan today is actually a dual monarchy based on the marriage of the two spiritual royal families of Zion and Rosenthal for generations, and that the rulers of Bethlehem cannot only consider the interests of the Zion family and ignore the interests of the Rosenthal family, otherwise it will inevitably tear our country apart, based on the above facts, the prince of Canaan must reflect the interests of both families in order to better safeguard the interests of the whole country, but the reality is regrettable, Our Prince of Colossa, who is of Zion blood but not related to the House of Rosenthal, cannot but make the Rosenthal family of insight fearful about the future of the country, and the sons and daughters of His Majesty Joshua and Queen Judy, Prince Raymond and Princess Audrey, are more suitable to inherit the throne of Canaan. ”

When Stig uttered these almost rebellious remarks, no one in the audience dared to answer them, and the air seemed to become frozen.

Stig also seemed to realize that he had overspoken, and in order to ease the awkward atmosphere, he laughed dryly twice, and his tone changed to calm: "Of course, I don't say this to deny Prince Grofa's legal right to first inheritance as the eldest son of the royal family, but I just hope that he will consider the feelings of the Rosenthal family a little, such as marrying Madame Judy's niece as the crown princess." ”

"It's a pity that His Highness has rejected this family business, but has a close relationship with a young girl named Mary who has no talent and no merit, and has the intention of marrying her as his wife." Mayer shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly, "The most unbearable thing about this Mary is not her lowly background and mediocre appearance, but that she is actually the priest of the 'Queen of Cause and Effect' Timoth!" The Holy See of Light is our state religion, and the Canaanites must not accept a pagan as our queen. ”

"What's more, Timoth and Sindra have always been considered to be a pair of sister gods with close relations, and we have reason to suspect that Mary is a nail planted by the kingdom of Koras, which is the state religion of Sindra, and is a secret move by the Far Easterners to try to control the Canaanite royal family." Stig continued on with Meyer's topic, "Your Majesty is still silent about this turbulent situation, His Highness Colopha has risen in popularity after successfully presiding over the Bethlehem Expo, and his prestige in the eyes of the ignorant people is not even inferior to that of His Majesty himself, and if this situation continues, the influence of the Rosenthal family in the Canaanite government and opposition will deteriorate, and eventually the community of interests of the Zion-Rosenthal family, which is based on the marriage of generations, will be broken, the latter will be eliminated from the competition, and the Far Easterners will take the opportunity to take their place, In the future, Canaan will no longer be a dual Zion-Rosenthal monarchy, but a Zion-Kolas system, in which there will no longer be a place for the Rosenthal family. ”

Stig walked up to Mayer and gave him a stern warning in his ear: "Your Excellency the Governor, don't forget that you are also a member of the Rosenthal family, and if that day comes, the throne of the Doge of Medes will probably have to be replaced!" ”

This almost threatening warning deeply touched Meyer's nerves, and his face became a little colder, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "We must do something to stop Canaan from going down the wrong path. ”

Stig smiled understandingly: "If you want to reverse the current mistake, there are two ways to go, the first is to start with the court of Bethlehem and push Prince Raymond to replace Grofa as the prince, but to do so is tantamount to a flagrant violation of the spirit of the 1598 Constitution, unless the monarch decrees that the nobles, high clergy, and representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry will convene a constitutional amendment conference to abolish the provisions of the constitution on primogeniture; The other way is to start from the outside, cutting off the support of His Royal Highness Croafa – the royal family of Krasbourg, and to this end, instigating a rebellion in the Far Eastern Territory is undoubtedly the best option with the least investment and the greatest return. ”

Mayer listened with a pounding heartbeat. As Steig argues, the establishment of rebel forces in the Far Eastern Territory in search of independence would not only help to undermine the good relations between Corofa and the royal family of Koras, but would also be profitable for him himself. Once the frontier region succeeded in becoming independent and became a vassal of Canaan, Tamayer made great contributions to the expansion of the country's territory and regained the wealth of the Mochizuki Mountain gold mine, which can be described as both fame and fortune, and Prince Gorofa did not dare to openly suppress it even if he held a grudge.

With the loss of 400,000 square miles of land in southern Xinjiang, including the huge gold mines of Mount Mochizuki and thousands of miles of cotton fields, relations with Canaan will become tense, and they will inevitably try to recover the lost land through the line of Gorofa. However, how can the royal family of Zion spit out the fat of this crossing? If Colossa spoke for the Far Easterners, it would be treason against the country, and he would not only lose the support of the royal family, but also lose the hearts of the people, and his prestige would plummet. Although the constitution provides for primogeniture, there are also provisions that state that traitors will be deprived of the right to inherit.

If Colossa, for the sake of his position, refuses to speak up for the Far Easterners, then his relationship with the royal family of Krasbourg will be completely broken, and he will lose the support of the Far Easterners, and he will want to inherit the throne of Canaan in obedience, and he will have no choice but to make overtures to the Rosenthal family, drive out the pagan Mary, and obediently marry Queen Judy's niece.
