"The History of the Naval War in Bourbon: Translator's Preface" ([] is the content of the book, and the absence of [] is the normal content)

[For the Bourbon Sea, the Bourbon Sea War is undoubtedly the largest war in history, it involved the most countries, the time span is long, the territory is wide, and the intensity of the war is miserable, there is no doubt that it is an unprecedented war, and it is naturally a war worth remembering. 】

[...... "History of the Maritime War in Bourbon" is written by the Bourbon nobleman Hudros born in Boris, born and died in 2050-2122, and he survived the entire war completely in his 72-year-old life, and was a witness to the whole war......]

[Regrettably, however, although Hudros survived the normal war in its entirety, the Bourbon Naval War was not finished, and was only written at the end of the ten-year truce, and the last few volumes were also very scattered, obviously not as elaborate as the previous ones, and obviously not revised.] 】

[Countless people in later generations have discussed, why did Hudros not finish the whole war? After all, through the epitaph, it can be determined that Hudros survived the end of the war......]

History of the Bourbon Naval War, Prologue, Words Written Before the Beginning of the Main Text.

[When this war broke out, I was only a student at the Kadoch Academy, and although we had a premonition that it would be an unprecedented war, the facts later told us that the war was more tragic than all those who started it had anticipated. 】

[I'm ashamed to say that when the war broke out, my first feeling, as I had not yet graduated from the academy, was that I was excited to meet this war that had not been seen in a thousand years, and perhaps never in the future, and I had the idea of writing a book for this war, because I felt that there must be a contemporary to record this great war. 】

[And the war was just as I expected, he had more narrative value than any war that had ever happened in the past, and completely affected the entire Bourbon ......]

History of the Bourbon Naval Wars, Chapter 1: The Rise and Fall of the Bourbon Empire

[Translator's guide: Although it is a record of the history of the Bourbon naval war, Hudros does not directly start from the outbreak of the war, but starts from the beginning, first establishing the impression of the Bourbon Sea and the historical origin of each country for the reader. 】

[In a short chapter, Shudros begins with the establishment of Bourbon, talks about the formation of the Bourbon Empire, and his past contacts with the countries of Myramy, Ingona, and Edonan, all the way to the Nine Years' War. 】

[In addition, from the first chapter, one of the important ideas of Hudros in writing history has been reflected, which is to narrate history impartially from a neutral standpoint, and in its history there is no such thing as the "civilized Bourbon conquering barbarian peoples" that the Bourbon orators repeated. 】

History of the Bourbon Naval Wars, Chapter 2: The Collapse of the Bourbon Empire

In the second chapter, Shudros mainly recounts the process of the collapse of the Bourbon Empire, including the independence of Pocom, Boris, and Polly, the betrayal of Edonan, the intrigues of independent states, and the famous year of the twenty-four consuls, until the independence of Portlou. 】

[In addition, it is worth mentioning that, unlike the historians of the time who only blamed the collapse of the Bourbon Empire on tyranny, it is very rare for Shudros to realize that the collapse of the Bourbon Empire was "frozen for three feet and not a day", so he grasped the "Nine Years' War" and began to tell the story, believing that the "Nine-Year War" was the fuse for the collapse of the Bourbon Empire, which is a rare and valuable understanding. 】

History of the Bourbon Naval Wars, Chapter 3: The Years Before the Lifting of the Ban

[Translator's guide: In the third chapter, Shudros uses shorthand writing again, and the lines condense the history that brought the five hundred years before 2000 into one chapter, but it can be seen that after repeated revisions, the clues are orderly, and the two routes of Boris and Portlou tell the history completely. 】

The History of Bourbon's Naval Wars: Chapter 4: The Selekos Problem

[Translator's Introduction: It is not until the beginning of the fourth chapter that Shudros officially enters the history of the Bourbon Naval War, unlike most historians of his contemporaries, and Shudros believes that the war should not begin on the day of the official declaration of war, but should be counted from the birth of the Selekos problem.] 】

[The Selekos Problem is the statement of Hudros, and now it is also called the Hudros problem, that is, the distrust caused by the fear of the other country's expansion of national power by the two great powers eventually leads to war, is it an unsolvable proposition?]

(The first half of chapter 4 is devoted to the life of Selekos and his wonderful speech at Amada, but due to material limitations, the account of the speech brought by the Boris envoy from the palace of Potloux is not the original speech of Selekos.) ）

It has to be said that although it has become a national consciousness, those living people can still wake up Magina with ingenious ideas, such as a young nobleman named Selekos in Potloo recently, who has benefited Magina a lot by putting forward a new perspective on the world pattern after the lifting of the ban on "The Prohibition of Epos".

Therefore, with the approval of Magina, he sacrificed some national prestige (the value of the Valhallic Game) and invited this old man who was not liked by the Lego dynasty to the palace of Kutumat to give a speech to the princes and nobles of the country, and to publish his views more widely throughout Portloux.

Later, in addition to the major colleges inviting Selekos to preach, countless other mentors and even worshippers began to talk about Selekos's views, and finally Portloo formed a general conclusion: if you want to ensure the coastal safety of Portlous, then Poli is an irreplaceable lifeline.

Soon, with the contact of merchants and tourists, the views of Selekos spread to Boris, Poli, and even the entire Bourbon Sea, causing quite a stir.

The sensation is indeed not small, you must know that even the Kadosh Palace specially convened an urgent meeting for the theory of Selekos. The meeting was held under the control of Hades, the national consciousness of Boris, who wanted to see if Boris would have Celecos in Boris since there was Celecos in Portloux?

[There were many speeches at this meeting, but none of them could utter such thought-provoking words as Selekos, and the tone was mostly the same, and here I intercept the speech of Bentisanos, the chief priest of the Poseidon State of Boris and the son of the Farcanos of the Snow family, to show the audience the atmosphere of the meeting at that time. 】

["Although the Portruux people are the descendants of the Bourbon colonists in the Tenglong Continent, they have also become rude and rude due to the rude customs of the Tenglong Continent, so they will speculate on the civilized Bourbon people with their moral standards, so they have made such a horrific statement, and the real opinion in their hearts can be known from this!"]

"We Bourbon people are civilized, benevolent, and friendly, and all our country has to do is to re-establish a new order on Bourbon and the Edonan Peninsula after the collapse of the Bourbon Empire, and when the new order is re-established, all righteous nations will enjoy their happiness in this order. ”】

[Behold, have we Bourbons ever destroyed any nation? Even a barbarian nation like Pokon, we have mercifully spared them a province to perpetuate their nation. Where's like Portloo? Poor Ingona just disappeared into history. ”】

["Therefore, the scope of our Bourbon people to build a new order is only on the island of Bourbon and the Edonan Peninsula, and there is no ambition to meddle in the continent of Tenron, and the Portolou, who likes to destroy the country, speculates on us with their habits, and of course feels trembling and fearful, isn't it a matter of course?"]

["Why did Potlou pay so much attention to Polly? Is it because Polly was their lifeline? I don't think so, the real reason is probably because Polly is as rude as them, right?"]

["Isn't it worthy of condemnation that the North Poutu people, also descendants of the Bourbon colonists, have been brutally deprived of their autonomy by the Poly and have inflicted cruel oppression on their heads?

It's nonsense - this is the opinion of Hades, the national consciousness of Boris, who has no special ability to fight, and all of them are using the Great Law of Transfer, avoiding the questions raised by Selekos, and instead talking about the ethnic habits of Polly and Potterlou, which have a fart relationship with the outbreak of war?

In this way, due to the "Obsession of Epos" and the speech of Selekos, the two countries of Potloo and Boris did not have a good year in 2000, and after a few months, Potloo finally moved, first they sent envoys to discuss with Polly, and then in 2001 they sent official envoys to Boris to discuss the Polly issue.

The advice put forward by Selekos was very constructive, and it was very enlightening to Marcina and the national consciousness of the Polly camp, so the two agreed on the above action, and soon Boris received a joint visit from Potruw and Polly.

"For the sake of peace in the Bourbon Sea, if Boris and Poli were to sign a non-aggression pact for a period of fifty years in the presence of the god of the sea (the gods stipulate that such a treaty would be valid for a maximum of fifty years at a time), it would be a cause of celebration for the entire Bourbon Sea. ”

This proposal made Hades put aside his stomach ache and not attack Poli, and then watch after Potloo settle the south, and then cross the sea to attack Polis without any scruples? But it is not possible to refuse directly, so that after that, morally, Boris will fall into a disadvantage.

After thinking about it for a while, Hades came up with the caliber of rejection, and this idea was conveyed to Boris's messenger.

"The signing of a non-aggression peace with Polly is a peaceful peace and a guarantee of peace in the Bourbon Sea, and we in Boris certainly welcome it, but the purpose of signing the peace treaty should be to ensure that the Bourbon Sea remains peaceful, not to open the door to tyranny. ”

"Therefore, if Boris and Polly are to sign a peace of non-aggression, there needs to be assurances: first, that Polis will not discriminate against Boris in trade, second, that Polly should not introduce outside powers (i.e., Portlou) into the island of Bourbon and unite with them, and third, that Polly should end his tyranny over the North Poutu and return their freedom. ”

Hades came up with a perfect refusal, after all, if Polly agreed to these three conditions, then even if the non-aggression pact was signed, what was there to worry about?
