Chapter 682: High Pressure
In a sense, the "volcanic eruption" event is accidental, but it is also inevitable.
In order to deal with the holy war, we have made a lot of preparations, and the entire Northland has been managed into a monolith, and this difficult and not much oil and water Northland alliance will become stronger and stronger over time.
That sounds great, but when you're counting on others, they're counting on you.
Although the northern land is difficult to gnaw and has no profits, the wise man will not choose such a headache opponent, and the abyss side simply found the fire element plane without considering any gains and losses, and forcibly involved the northern land into the battlefield.
“…… Want to accumulate strength on your own and easily become the last beneficiary? Dream, the world is not as easy as you think! ”
The abyss side gave us one, letting us know that the plan is not as fast as the change, no one is a fool these days, but from the perspective of the entire strategic layout, it is not without a little benefit, at least, we are more and more justified in refusing the help of countries within the mainland......
"I'm sorry, we'd love to help you, but the battlefield is tight on our side......"
“…… Your Highness Roland, I don't know if you think that plan is more suitable! ”
A lot of plans lingered in my mind, but in the end, it didn't come to an end, why? We are now in deliberations, and it is still the highest meeting of the Lan League, and the countries have either come with plenipotentiaries, or from the kings and princes themselves.
The small tent was packed, and the earl lord could only stand outside to blow the wind, while the councilors inside could not reach an agreement.
It's a week after the destruction of the Chauvin, and rescue missions are in full swing. The population of the Chauvinistic Dominion is already small. Lan Meng was stress-free to digest. And Gagalol, who should have had some opinions, already had all the gold coins in his head.
It's not that we don't want to help the Chauvinistic Dominion reclaim its territory, but we just look at the endless volcano in front of us, and we really can't do anything.
The emergence of a new dimensional battlefield in the Northland is already a major event involving the entire Northland, and it is natural to invite bigwigs from various countries to discuss the response plan, but what makes people helpless is that they have never been able to reach an agreement.
“…… Those who are close feel like a threat. It is understandable that the hope will be able to quickly extinguish the fire with the help of Lanmeng's strength, but it is really impossible to do it. However, some lords think that as long as it is isolated, it is enough to properly warm up the Northland, which may not be a good thing in the long run. ”
There are also some big nobles, and even think that the Lan Kingdom, which is close to the Ice Elemental Plane, is too strong, perhaps, a new Elemental Plane, this is an opportunity for other countries. There have even been attempts to make private contact with the Flame Lord.
Each party proceeds from its own interests and proposes its own handling plan. Of course, he will not directly talk about his own interests, but he will just push his own ideas under the banner of the Great Lan Alliance, but each holding its own opinion obviously cannot convince the other party, so it can only be extended indefinitely.
As an alliance between countries, it is necessary to listen to the suggestions of the member countries, and there is no way to waste time in this way, and the boring procedures still have to be completed, but in the end, who makes the decision is still the biggest talk...... Well, in the end, it was Renee herself who decided, and of course, it was me who decided.
I just put all the options aside, some people just get used to thinking too much...... I won't even look at any of these plans.
“…… Communicating with the Flame Elemental Lord? If you're going to turn into a barbecue and go by yourself, do you know the fire elemental language? Besides, do you know what elemental warfare represents? That's your mortal vendetta, do you think you can stop it at this time? ”
I didn't tell the truth, in fact, if the elemental expert intervened, communication could be done, if the wind elemental god and earth elemental god were invited, mediation was possible, but I don't think it would be a good thing to negotiate with the fire elemental plane at this time.
Fire and water are not compatible, the Ice Plane and the Fire Plane have always been mortal enemies, since we have chosen the Ice Plane as an ally, and even have the friendship between Bing Ao and the Lan Clan for thousands of years, there is no need to change the flag at all.
“…… Is warming up a good thing? Do you know what it means that the snow on the Daisetsukan Mountains and the melting glaciers in the North Sea all represent? When the flood comes, hopefully you'll be swimming or just become frogs. ”
I'm not lying, but I don't tell the truth all of them, all the ice and snow and the 10,000-year-old glacier will melt at once, and the entire Northland will turn into a vast ocean, but to do this, even if there are ten more fire elemental gods, the impact of slow warming year by year on the environment is acceptable, just like the cooling caused by the ice plane year by year.
I won't even consider their proposals, in the grand plan of the Lan Alliance, ice and snow and low temperature are our natural barriers, and the ice plane is an innate ally, and it is extremely stupid to burn our own barrier to keep warm before the cold winter passes.
I'm not going to explain the reasons to these lords and kings, because that would mean countless explanations and consultations, and then there will be endless "assumptions" and divergences of interests, and I'd rather get a clear agreement with a true lie than a series of troubles to tell the truth, after all, it would be much more efficient.
The truth is not in the hands of a few, but everyone has their own interests, and in the end it is to choose the "truth" that meets their own interests, the so-called majority is a collection of various interests, it doesn't matter whether my lies will be exposed, the important thing is that this is the will of the two Lan Kingdoms, and it will soon become the will of the entire Lan Alliance.
"From this day on, the volcanic region where the former Chauvin Dominion is located is considered an enemy-occupied area, and the Fire Elemental Plane and the Fire Elemental Lord are the sworn enemies of the entire Lan Alliance, and any fornication with the sworn enemy will be a collaborator according to the wartime regulations of the Lan Alliance Covenant...... There is no mercy for killing. ”
My bland and categorical words fell, and there was a sudden silence in the tent, some people opened their mouths, and many looked at each other, but in the end they did not say anything.
But judging from everyone's surprised and disbelieving expressions, it seems that the representatives of Languo in the past have not been so direct and tough, and think about it, Renee and Grina are both women after all, and they are too young, and their administrative methods must be softer, seeking coordination more than dictatorship.
And I'm ...... Considering my past reputation, it may indeed be very suitable to play blackface and dictator, so, in front of the kings of various countries, I simply picked up the pile of plan documents and threw them into the trash can on the table.
"Now that we've reached an agreement, let's implement it as soon as possible. Let the Coalition begin to prepare to build a defensive line. ”
Well, since no one dares to object to what I said, this is unanimity.
Now that all the plans have become waste paper, from the moment when the fire elemental plane is regarded as a mortal enemy, let's start from scratch and start working out a countermeasure.
“…… It's really boring, every time I want to do something, someone makes a mess. I can understand that humans are social creatures, and scheming and intrigue are almost instinctive, but with each passing point, I miss the undead who only obey orders. What the boss said is right, how simple and straightforward. ”
Looking at the flaming mountains in the distance, I took a deep breath, stomped my foot, and jumped slightly to warm up my body.
The quarrel in the tent behind me was getting louder and louder, but I had no intention of listening to them from the beginning.
The iron triangle in the Lan Alliance has become more and more stable, and when the Lan Kingdom, the underground forces, and the Xiluo Empire are all in my hands, even if other countries unite, they will not be able to make waves.
As the jihad progresses, in order to better respond to the war, there will probably be a lot of times when efficiency is prioritized, and if everything has to be agreed upon, and all the member countries come up with a plan, then nothing needs to be done.
This time, even if it was an emergency meeting to discuss contingencies, it was also a means to knock the other member countries, and to do extraordinary things during the war, only one voice was needed in the unbreakable alliance, and this voice could only come from Diefend.
After I finished singing blackface, Renee and Gelina would naturally sing redface and mend the rift, but now that the Lanmeng incident has the final say in front of the world, the other member countries must understand their own weight in order to avoid a worse situation.
And the political circles of the Lanmeng seem to be calm, but in fact there are constant dark tides, so my black face is more and more necessary.
“…… Any news? ”
"Marquis Benn and Prince Steele, they have been very active recently, and many big nobles have private contact with them, and the message of 'Lan Meng is not Lan Meng of Lan people but Lan Alliance of Northland people' also said that they sent people to spread it. It is said that they are privately advocating humanism, and the banner of excluding foreign races really attracts many people. ”
"Is there always someone who can't see the Kingdom of Cazorla...... Be clean, don't leave the tail of your hands behind. Oh, no, let's leave the tail of the hand, make it obvious, die a miserable death, and let people see what the end of playing tricks is at this time. ”
In fact, there is nothing wrong with conspirators and careerists, people are all for their own sake, and politicians do not think about the interests of their own country and the nation but only for themselves, they are just politicians who are indiscriminate, tying their own interests to the interests of the country and race, and they are first-class politicians.
But at this juncture, trying to split the Lan Alliance and raise our own political capital obviously underestimates our determination to prepare for war, and there is no need to continue to waste air.
In the face of absolute strength, at a time when the entire Northern Covenant is becoming more and more consolidated, these guys who can't see the situation clearly are probably just clowns who are thrown out by the bigwigs behind the scenes.
But if Lan Guo gives in and retreats, it is equivalent to being tested out of the bottom line, in the interaction at the national level, patience is not a virtue but weakness, as long as you show fatigue, the follow-up chain will naturally come.......
"Since you've all reached out, I'll just cut it off." (To be continued.) )
