Chapter 506: The final battle of the Bourbon Sea (8) The country that jumps on the tightrope

[Translator's note: One of the reasons why some Boris people are dissatisfied with the "History of the Naval War in Bourbon" written by Hudros is that they think that Hudros did not have a position when he wrote it, and he actually did not stand on the position of Boris and wrote history with as objective and neutral attitude as possible, which made them very dissatisfied. 】

[For example, the first place that he was dissatisfied with was the foreign tax department of Boris, because his grandfather Napolika was a member of the foreign tax department, so Xiudros got the action of the foreign tax department, which had not existed for a long time, from his grandfather. 】

[So now we can learn that when Shudros's grandfather Napolika carried out a tax investigation, he arrested the Asterbourbon nobles who were originally involved in smuggling, and then took control of the smuggling network of the local nobles, using a merchant named Selekos to smuggle for Napolika. 】

[And from the following text, we can learn that when Hudros was born, his grandfather Napolica did not suffer any punishment, but retired as an honorable person, so from here we can know that his grandfather was not held accountable for his smuggling activities by self-theft. 】

History of Bourbon's Naval Wars, Chapter 6: The Age of Re-Crisis

[Translator's note: When the Strait Alliance and the Island Customs Union were formed, the two camps did not immediately break out into war, but eased as the Brayazon issue cooled. But in 2016, with the change of leadership of Polly, a new crisis in the Bourbon Sea was triggered. This chapter begins with the re-crisis and continues with the end of the Battle of Teassi, which ends with the temporary end of the crisis. 】

[In the year 2016 of the Great Calendar and the 585th year of the founding of the Poli state, Poli ushered in a new oligarchic co-venerable, who was the son of Biens of the Yaros family, and became Kudas IV after succeeding to the throne. 】

[Kudas IV has always been known for his staunch anti-Boris stance, and the first event that made Kudas IV known to the entire Bourbon Sea was undoubtedly the debate with Lull in the Poli Parliament 12 years ago, which prompted Polly to completely fall to Portlou, and now that Kudas IV has become an oligarchic co-venerable, this is undoubtedly a bad thing for Boris. 】

[Sure enough, as soon as he took office, Kudas IV gave a stern speech in parliament (unfortunately I can't find the full text of this speech), believing that the other side alliance is now weak against Boris, which stimulates Boris to continue to ignore the interests of the other side alliance and damage the other side alliance through smuggling and other channels. 】

[At the end of his speech, Kudas IV concluded: "I regret that Boris has not been able to pull back from the precipice, which shows that our actions are not resolute enough, and that Boris has the wrong idea that this problem can be easily solved, so I think that in order to avoid war between the great powers, Boris's delusions should be shattered."] ”】

[In 2016, the proposal of Kudas IV was not supported by Portlou, because the dragon nobility of Portlou at this time was still an older generation, and he was content with the existing trade punishment measures and was unwilling to intensify the conflict, but in 2017, Portlou ushered in a major political change, and a group of young and radical nobles became leaders, and they were very fond of Kudas IV's proposal. 】

[So a new, brand-new agreement was signed in 2017, and this agreement is called the "Agreement on the Prevention of Piracy on the Trade of Laventica."] 】

Makina received a request from Umora of the Polly faction's national consciousness, and learned that Umola was trying to launch a new round of temptation against Boris with the help of the radical theories of the newly incoming Kudas IV.

Of the three major trades, Portlou controlled the Cornigta trade through his vassal Indo, and joined the Maz Island trade through intermediaries, and only the Laventica trade was transferred purely by virtue of its good relationship with Poli. So Magina's reply to Umora was, since it's your proposal, let's experiment with your Laventica trade first.

Umora agreed to Magina's request, which is why the current Agreement on the Prevention of Piracy in the Trade of Laventica was created. What are pirates? Those smuggling merchants are pirates, and Polly authorized his own navy to destroy all these "pirates" without any responsibility.

Ironically, the "pirate" tactic was the idea of Boris, who set up a no-sail zone in the waters of the Wagra Guard in the name of "clearing out pirates" during the "Coming to Delu War" to prevent Portlou's transport ships from boarding the Wagra Guard.

After the treaty was signed, Boris naturally couldn't just swallow it with his anger, since you said that my merchant ships were pirates? Okay, then my warships should also be pirates, okay? So some of the top warships that were still flying the Boris flag one second ago were hung with the black flag of pirates the next second, either escorting the smuggling ships, or really doing some black deeds.

But after all, these warships need to be maintained, and the maintenance costs of each voyage will cost a lot, and it is okay to fight for a breath in a short time, if it becomes a normal action, Rao is the great cause of the Boris family will not be able to support it, but the national consciousness of the Boris camp Hades does not want to bear the charge of provoking war.

In fact, what Hades is most worried about now is not the immediate problem, but if the alliance on the other side feels that this method is effective and prepares to give Boris a round of all three major trades, then how should Boris deal with it?

Hades thought about it all night, and in despair he found that he couldn't cope unless the fish died.

More than 600 years ago, Boris was blessed with a unique geographical location, whether it was the Edonan trade, the Myrami trade, the Incona trade, or the Urchi trade further south, it was the most convenient channel, even more convenient than the old waterway.

But more than 600 years later, the new trade has become the Laventica trade, the Cornigta trade and the Maz Island trade, and if it weren't for Boris taking Bourbon and Pokang as vassals, Boris's role in these three trades, even intermediaries, would have become a redundant country!

Luckily for the unfortunate one, Boris adopted Bourbon as a vassal through the wars of the last century, which gave Boris the ability to participate in the stage, albeit weakly.

Hades came up with a very dangerous countermeasure, and then looked at it with the control panel, and found that the action points consumed by this countermeasure were unusually large (which shows that there are many people in power in Boris who oppose this dangerous countermeasure), and if he forcibly implemented this countermeasure, I am afraid that he will not be able to use the necessary action points in two or three years.

(Actions must be taken to ensure that vital operations such as weapon manufacturing, weapons development, and military training are not corrupted.)

This shows that there are still some ignorant people in Boris who are delusional that the current situation can be resolved through negotiations. Oh, in that case, let time break their delusions. ”

So Hades finally relented and decided to wait a little longer, so that the opponents would give up their delusions of compromise and wait for the required action points to be lowered before implementing his own dangerous countermeasures.

Hades gave up for the time being, and there have been many discussions in Boris about this issue, the most famous of which are undoubtedly the two speeches that took place at the Pease Conference in 2018, which were also remembered in history because of "The History of Bourbon's Naval Wars".

"I have noticed a trend nowadays, both in our country and in foreign countries, where young people are becoming more and more radical, taking the vision of older people as conservative, believing that their own recklessness is the right thing to do, but they do not know that this will push their country to the brink of danger. ”】

"Two years ago was the 600th anniversary of the founding of Boris, it was a great celebration, and I am lucky that I live in this era, in the great era that our ancestors built for us with their blood. ”】

["Our country, our civilization, was built by the efforts of our ancestors, and it was passed on to us, and we should maintain it as much as possible and pass it on to our descendants, instead of throwing ourselves into a dangerous game because of our will, so that our descendants can only get a ruin. ”】

["O young man, please note that this is not weakness but foresight, this is not cowardice but bravery, and now the sea of Bourbon is very different from what it used to be, and the enemy we have to face is no longer a weak or reckless small nation, but a vast empire far more powerful than us, and a country on a par with ours, and if war breaks out between these two countries, it will be a war of unprecedented tragedy, which is something we should avoid. ”】

"Some people say that if you win the battle against Portlou, you will become the master of the Bourbon sea, but this seems to me to be a foolish statement. The more likely outcome is that we and Potlou will both lose and leave our children and grandchildren in ruins, and those rats who were suppressed by us and did not dare to raise their heads in the past took advantage of our weakness to steal our land, which is the more likely outcome!"

["I have noticed some recent remarks that Polly and Potterloo dare to be so bold against us, and that we should retaliate against them with the strongest navy, which is a dangerous idea, and once it triggers a full-scale war, no one can afford it. ”】

["I think it can be understood that the unjust treatment of the Laventica trade is something that has been done for a long time, and Polly has never been a friendly neighbor, and whenever he wants to stir up a dispute with us, he will harshly rebuke our merchants. For those merchants who often run the Laventica trade, this is already a matter of course. ”】

["If there is any difference between this time and the past, it is that the intensity is greater than ever, and the embargo has not been accompanied by war, and the North Poutu people, who have always been friendly to us, have been unable to speak out because of tyranny, but these difficulties are not insurmountable for us industrious and intelligent Bourbons. ”】

"Don't let us be wicked, don't let war start because of us, if Potloo continues to push people like this, he will become a nation hated by the gods, and then the whole responsibility will be on him. ”】

[This is the retort of the opponent Cadosh, the son of the Ferma family, at the meeting: "There are those who call their cowardice visionary, their timidity their thinking for the country, and then accuse those patriots of being reckless and provoking trouble without cause. ”】

["In my opinion, such stupid remarks are the most contemptible remarks that hurt the hearts of patriots and the interests of the country. ”】

["The enemy is pressing, but you are retreating step by step, and when there is no way back at the end, you are falling into the abyss. You say we are radical, you say we provoke trouble, then isn't that a radical action, that is, we should grovel to the enemy? Let your enemies laugh and make your allies lament?"]

["Some people say that Laventica's trade is not important, so it can be used as a bargaining chip for forbearance trades. Politics does require tolerance and trading, but I would like to ask, if we tolerate it, what can we get in exchange? Can we let the other party have a good talk with us? If not, why should we tolerate it? Doesn't this make the other party feel that you are weak and can be bullied?

["What's more, today is the trade of Laventica, who can guarantee that tomorrow will not be the trade of Cornigta, and the day after tomorrow will not be the trade of Maz Island? This is not to provoke war, but to ensure peace!"]
