Selekos has always considered himself a lucky man, because he was born on New Year's Day in 1970, so that every year during the New Year's celebrations, Selekos can say to himself that it is a celebration that the world has held for him, and then revel in it to entertain himself.

"Isn't it lucky that as long as I'm still on the Bourbon Sea, I won't forget when my birthday is?" said Selekos when he bragged at the academy.

Celecos's family, the Dukale family, used to be considered a wealthy dignitary in Portloo, but unfortunately it was the political enemy of the Lego dynasty back then, and it was a pity that the Lego family was the political enemy of the Lego dynasty and hated the Lego family, and after the Lego family established the Lego dynasty in Potre in 1713, the Selekos family weakened sharply, and only recovered more than a hundred years ago, but it was already an inconspicuous nobleman.

Today, the ancestral home of the Selekos family is located in Amada, in the Portlou Passage, where Selekos was born. And Armada is amazing, this is the first colonial stronghold established by Bourbon on the continent of Tenglong, and it is also the first main city, the origin of the original "Prohibition of Epos", that is, Armada.

The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and although the Dukale family is not as big as before, it is still possible to send the family member Selekos to the Armada Academy as a full cadet.

After ten years of studying at the Academy, Selekos graduated with honors, and instead of becoming an administrator, he chose to stay at Armada College as a canonist and take care of the library. In this way, he stayed at the academy for another 9 years, serving as a teaching assistant for 9 years, and relying on his father-in-law's connections, Selekos finally became a teaching assistant at the age of 29.

When Selekos was 30 years old, it was the year 2000 of the Great Calendar, and when Selekos was celebrating his birthday and experiencing the millennium celebration surrounded by his parents, wife and children, the news that the "Erposian Ban" had been revoked completely dispelled the good mood of the Selekos family.

After a while, Selekos received an invitation from his father-in-law, Armada's assistant priest, to give a lecture at a local altar. This is a fashion that has suddenly become popular recently, after all, the "Prohibition of Epos" that has lasted for more than ten generations has been revoked, and many commoners are panicked, so they go to the altar for comfort, and the priest of the altar calls the tutor of the academy.

Although Selekos is not a tutor, he is a teaching assistant anyway, so doesn't he need money to hire a tutor? If he asks a teaching assistant to come, he still relies on his own help to become a teaching assistant, so the money is much less, and the entrance fee can be more profitable? Under the guidance of this thinking, Selekos was called by his father-in-law to the altar to comfort the believers.

When the "Eppos Ban" was just lifted, Selekos was also panicked, so he went to listen to a few sessions, and found that the instructors were all in the same tune, "How can there be a war, it is impossible to fight," and Selekos can understand what they do, if this causes social panic, the government will be very difficult.

So if he comes to power, will he still repeat the same old tune? Selekos went up once, but because the group of fart people were not interested in Selekos's identity as an "assistant teacher", and because Selekos's remarks were not unusual, and his status was not noble, the response was mediocre, so his father-in-law said to Selekos that he would not use it again next time.

How can this work? The entrance fee is also a lot of extra income, although he is a nobleman, but Selekos's life is tight, and he can't let go of this income.

Is that alarmist and saying that there will definitely be a war? This is not good, otherwise as soon as you leave the field with your front foot, you will be grabbed by the guards and you will have to pay a sum of money to come out. Depressed, Selekos plunged headlong into the library where he had been staying for nine years, looking for a way out of the past history, and was really found by Selekos.

So when the last consolation meeting that his father-in-law thought was held, Selekos walked up to the altar with a confident face and began his speech.

"There are people, no, a lot of people, and everyone generally says that we and Boris will not have a war for this or that reason, but I think that war may not break out, but conflict must be inevitable. ”

With just this passage, Selekos ignited the atmosphere of the venue, and some citizens even went out to call others in to listen to the opinions of this unusual teaching assistant, and the father-in-law on the stage also cast a surprised look at him because of this remark, and Selekos signaled that nothing happened.

"Everyone knows that Boris is a greedy, miserly country, and this is well known in the Portlous," said Selekos, who did not deliberately discredit the Bourbons, which is the general impression of the Bourbons, "and that being the case, then it proves that I am not wrong in what I said next." ”

"Let's imagine that even if Boris has a scheming leader who does not go to war with Portlu, and our wise dragon nobleman of Portlu will naturally not invade other countries, then who else can Boris declare war on? Edonan, South Boutu, Pokang, and Bourbon have all become vassal states of Boris, so there is no doubt that the next country to suffer will be Poli. ”

"Boris is so powerful, with the strongest navy in the Bourbon Sea, Polly may be able to resist for thirty years, but after the bloody tug-of-war, it will inevitably be defeated, you know, in the past three hundred years, Polly has been able to deal with Boris, relying on always ensuring that he is not the direct target of Boris, and Polly cannot defend against Boris alone. ”

"So if Polly doesn't want to die, then he can only ask for help from the only country that can save him, and that is us, the righteous Portlou. ”

The audience was already shouting, and a student from the academy said with a dissatisfied expression: "That what Polly, so far away from us, why should we care about him?

"Okay, so let's go ahead and assume that we reject Polly's call for help and sit back and watch Polly be defeated by Polis, then what will happen after that?"

"After the destruction of the country, whether it is on the island of Bourbon or on the Edonan Peninsula, Boris will have no opponent, he will control the trade of Laventica, integrate the two islands into one, and become a huge country that surpasses the Bourbon Empire in the past, and is more powerful than ever, at that time, if he still wants to expand, who can he only attack?"

The student imagined such a future, and couldn't help but shudder, but because of the student's self-esteem, he still stubbornly said: "But our territory of Portlu is vast, and we are not afraid of the stingy Boris. ”

Selekos clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, even if our Portlou is vast, but is our Portlou the master of the Tenglong Continent? Do we have the ability to dominate Bourbon Island and the Edonan Peninsula like Boris? No!"

"And Boris has the most powerful navy in the world, and has a stable and worry-free rear, so he can rely on his navy to wantonly harass our territorial waters, so that our coastal country will not be at peace for a moment, and at that time, can you still say that you are not afraid?"

"If you are of a certain age, you will remember the war in Delu more than fifty years ago, when Boris didn't rely on the safety of his own country, and we in Portlou were in the middle of the war, and we used the navy to blockade the waters of the Wagra Guard, and forcibly slowed down the pace of our war, so that our blood was shed in vain?"

"If it weren't for the war provoked by the heroic Polly on Bourbon Island later, Boris's lifting of the blockade of the sea is probably still far away, and it is unknown how long the war would have ended at that time!"

"So I think that if we want to make Portlou's territorial waters no longer harassed by Boris as brutally as in the Lydlu War, we must ensure that Polly exists as an independent state, otherwise Boris will have full control of Bourbon Island and the Edonan Peninsula, and every seaport in Portlou will have to be lit with fireworks!"

At this time, even the student was scared, and he asked timidly: "So we and Boris, must there be a war? We are so strong, Boris is so strong, if a war breaks out between these two countries, when will the war stop?"

"The choice of war is not ours, and in Boris, as long as Boris does not declare war on Polly, can we not guarantee peace?"

"And many things, not necessarily by war to solve, history has given us a lot of experience, for example, I searched for the old, and found an old material in history. ”

"It was not long after the opening of the trade in Laventica, because the relationship between Polly and Boris had deteriorated, so Polly issued a strict order, ordering all ports of Polly to levy high entry fees on Boris's merchant ships, which effectively dealt a blow to Boris's arrogance, and we can learn from history. ”

"There are now three trade routes in the Bourbon Sea, the Laventica trade, the Cornigta trade, and the Maz Island trade. Laventica traded with Poli, Konigta with Inandi, and Maz with Butoxi. ”

"Polly and Boris are destined to be enemies, that is, they have friendly relations with us, Indoland is our vassal, and Butoxi is our ally, so as long as there is a little coordination, Boris will cut off these three sources of trade. ”

"So if Boris can do his duty and be an upright nation, then all will be fine. But if Boris tries to threaten Polly's safety, we don't have to fight ourselves, and we will shed Potloo's blood for the survival of Polly's country, we just need to join forces with Polly to cut off Boris's trade with these three places. ”

"Isn't it a good idea that after the severance of these three trades, our people will get the products there more cheaply, and the prices of Boris will skyrocket, so that there will be no need for war, and the situation of Boris will be thrown into chaos? ”

Speaking of this, Selekos bowed down and ushered in long-lasting applause, and then Selekos's father-in-law ran over and said that the Archbishop of Armada had asked Selekos to continue speaking, and then Selekos finally cheered in his heart, and his other way was successful!

Success, not a small success, but a big success, just half a month later, Selekos from a small teaching assistant, standing in the auditorium of Armada College, to those noble worshippers to tell their views, and three months later, Selekos was actually invited to the Kutumat Palace!

It's been done, it's been done!!!
