Chapter 520: The final battle of the Bourbon Sea (thirty-two) will finally be fought again

At this time, it is the end of the year 2105 in the Great Calendar, and it is getting closer and closer to the end of the ten-year truce.

The elder Selekos was old, and he could not figure out such a big thing alone, and felt inferior to himself for not having a diploma, so he recruited his only son, the young Selekos, who had just graduated from the Sutra Academy, and the 26-year-old boy who happened to be returning home for the New Year.

Why did he finish at the age of 26? Isn't it normal for a student to graduate at the age of 20? Because a student who graduated at the age of 20 is a regular student, and a family background like the elder Selekos makes it difficult for his son to even enter the Sytra Academy, and can he expect anything else?

And little Selekos was able to be sent to the Sutra Academy as a cocoin student, or relying on the black smoke a few years ago to give him a potion, as soon as he thought of the black smoke, little Selekos couldn't help but shudder, and then decided to continue to forget this unpleasant experience, hiding him deep in the deepest part of his memory.

"Little Selekos, you have been in the academy, you are a smart man, what do you think of the truce treaty in the academy?" old Selekos asked little Selekos expectantly and apprehensively, it was the first time he had shown such a winceing look in front of his son.

Little Selekos also froze for a moment, and after a while he reacted, and began to answer his father's question: "As far as what I heard in the square, the worshippers were silent, and the instructors said that peace should be precious, but the senior students were full of anticipation for the war, and they felt that Boris could win after the truce, and that it was Lotas III who had not won before that they had mistaken the country. ”

Old Selekos suddenly remembered some news that he had ignored a few years ago, saying that the tomb of Lotas III had been smashed, and Lotas IV had been forced to go out in the mansion, because these people were all nobles, and in the end these incidents were over.

"You all want to fight?" old Selekos's voice trembled, if the young people had this attitude, I am afraid that war was inevitable, and that terrible war would once again sweep the Bourbon Sea, only this time it was no longer the old Selekos who was dying, but the little Selekos whom he regarded as a treasure.

Little Selekos corrected: "Father, it's not that we all want to fight, mainly those official students, their caliber is basically the same, and whoever doesn't want to fight will soon be targeted by them." ”

History of the Bourbon Naval War, Chapter 13: The Truce Years

【...... The ten-year truce is almost instantaneous, and you don't feel much during this time, but when the war breaks out again, you will be stunned to realize how this wonderful decade passed so quickly? This feeling is especially obvious for those who have experienced the first half of the war, but not for those who have experienced the young people. 】

[When the truce period is getting closer and closer, the question of whether to start another war is hot from the political arena to the campus, and many politicians and students are tirelessly discussing these issues. During this period, through my travels and correspondence with friends abroad, I got a rough idea of the attitude of the masses of various countries towards the war at this time. 】

[The so-called attitude, if summed up in a phrase, then "continue the war" is the irreplaceable main theme, in fact, except for the two groups, those who have expressed their attitude are basically in favor of continuing the war. 】

[The so-called "two groups of people" refers to the top brass of Boris and Portlou, yes, only these two groups are hesitant to start a war, I think they have sensed the threat of war to their hegemony, and realized that war is not a zero-sum game in which only one wins and one loses, and that both countries can lose, and all other countries will be cheapened.] 】

[But the insistence of a few could not stop the fanaticism of the whole Bourbon Sea for war, and it seemed that every nobleman in every country had a reason to continue the war. 】

[For some countries whose territory is occupied, such as Nampoutu with only the capital left, such as Butoksi in the south, and Urchi who can only temporarily live in the Nasumi Guard, they all desperately want to go to war, praying that their allies can use war to regain their lost territory. 】

[For those countries that have already occupied many territories, such as Edonan, such as Brayason, they hope to use this war to eliminate their old enemies, so that hatred can be understood in this era. 】

[For Boris, the reason for the young man's support for the war is his anger at Pokang's betrayal, his dissatisfaction with the loss of the Anrola Passage, if the war does not break out, he must admit the reality of territorial loss and betrayal by the vassal state, and the next war will not be twenty or thirty years later, and the young man will not be able to enjoy the pleasure of stabbing his enemies. 】

[The young people of Portlu supported the war for much the same reasons as Boris, and they hated the betrayal of the Indo, Ulchi, and Boemi peoples, and declared that "only the Jingguan (a pyramid of heads) can end the shame of our betrayal", and thus fanatically demanded the continuation of the war. 】

[And the Bourbons, Pomosi, and Boemians, which are suspected to exist, have the most urgent desire to continue the war, and if the war does not have a peace treaty, then they cannot be recognized as statehood, which is an unacceptable thing for them, so the war must be continued.] 】

[So in general, the reasons for those people's support for the war can be boiled down to one sentence, "I haven't lost yet!" and "I'll win if I keep fighting!" and I don't think there is any sense of disobedience if this kind of statement is replaced with "I haven't lost yet! 】

[Since all countries are fanatically demanding the continuation of the war, the insistence of a few rational people is nothing more than a fish and shrimp under the frenzy, which will be easily washed away. 】

[So after a short period of six months of negotiations, each country withdrew its envoys and began to assemble troops in the spring of 2106.] The significance of this action was self-evident, so that as soon as the truce period arrived, the Strait Alliance and the Island Alliance announced to each other that with the end of the peace period, the two sides had entered a state of war, and the second quarter of the Bourbon Naval War began. 】

[The war has begun, and those who advocate and support it can finally rejoice, and of course, as I have seen, their joy will only last until the blood is seen. But as the philosopher said, once a war is provoked, don't think about ending it easily, but unfortunately the foolish people have been making this mistake for thousands of years. 】

History of the Bourbon Naval Wars, Chapter 14

[Translator's Introduction: This is the last volume of "The History of the Naval War in Bourbon" written by Shudros, and it can be seen from the text that this volume was written in an extremely hurry, and the writing is much worse than the previous chapters, it can almost be said that it is just an outline of the chapter to be expanded in the future, and it has not yet been written, and why this is so, that is the eternal puzzle in the history of literature. 】

[In the year 2106 of the Great Calendar, with the end of the ten-year truce, the seven countries of the island alliance composed of Boris, South Boutu, Inandi, Brayazon, Ulchi, and (Pomosi) declared war on the seven countries of the other side alliance composed of Portlou, Poly, Pokang, Edonan, Maisica, Butoxi, (Bourbon), and the Bourbon naval war broke out again. 】

[Interestingly, although war was declared on each other, the countries did not act on a large scale until the autumn harvest, but only began to continue after the autumn harvest.] 】

[Boris's initial strategy was to recover Fintina by the army, support the Boamis, and hold on to the Edonan Peninsula, while the main force of the navy was to attack Portlu, and the second main force was used for the battle of the Old Passage, giving up the re-entry of Bartis. 】

[Therefore, after the autumn harvest, the main force of Boris crossed the old channel and landed along the coast of the Fentina Channel, and the second main force was to support the Boamis, in case the Boemi who had only 2 cities left from falling, and the support for the Anrola Channel was very limited. 】

[Portlou's initial strategy is to let go of the south and attack the north, and Portlou will send the main force to attack the Boemi, the strategic intention is needless to say, after capturing the Poemiwei So, you can cut off Boris's support for Indo, so that the north can be pacified quickly. 】

[In the year 2108 of the Great Calendar, Maisica suddenly announced without warning that he was no longer a vassal state of Portelu, broke away from the Strait Alliance and joined the Island Alliance (Boris happily accepted this request), and his army immediately swarmed towards Frank's fortress, and the situation of the Coalition on the other side took a sharp turn for the worse, and Pottelu had to temporarily abandon his strategy for the north, and he had to face the attack on the sea and the inland attack on the other. 】

[In the year 2110 of the Great Calendar, Butoxi suddenly announced that he would freeze his identity in the Alliance on the other side, but strangely did not withdraw from the Alliance on the other side. Brayathon then made a major attack on the southern border of Portlou, the old land of Ulch, and I personally suspect that Brayathon had made a secret pact with Butoxi to make this happen. 】

[In 2111 A.D., Boris and Braazon signed the Jamaren Agreement, placing the war against Potlot in charge of Braazon. Boris then withdrew his support for the Boaemi, formed the Anrola Expeditionary Force, and invaded the Edonan Peninsula after the autumn harvest in an attempt to restore his territory on the Edonan Peninsula. 】

[In the year 2115 of the Great Calendar, due to the disagreement between Ulchi and Maisica during the struggle for the old land of Ulch, and Ulch's dissatisfaction with the secret agreement between Braiazon and Butoxi, Ulch accepted Portru's woo and announced that he would break away from the Island Alliance and become Portlou's "ally" again, and unite with Portlot to deal with Brayason. 】

[In the year 2116 of the Great Calendar, in the war between Potlou and the Boamis, the decisive "Battle of Lydelu" broke out, and the result of the battle was that Potloo suffered heavy losses, therefore, ]

[Translator's note: This is the end of the full text of Thudros's History of the Naval War in Bourbon, and he did not continue for unknown reasons, as mentioned several times before, the reason why Shudros did not finish writing The History of the Bourbon Naval War and stopped writing in a hurry (really in a hurry) is still unknown.] 】
