When I received the ultimatum from the Southern Passage, I was in a state of misuse, and I didn't know what to say for a long time.

Since the members of the General Assembly Palace are now scattered in various places, and it will take at least half a day or so for the meeting to be held, I already have a premonition that it is about to be a difficult meeting, so I closed my eyes and recuperated in the Governor's seat of the General Assembly Palace, and the result may have been that I was so tired that I actually fell asleep in the General Assembly Palace.

In the Palace of the General Assembly I had a dream that I was back to the first half of my rose-colored life, my carefree childhood. In the dream, my father told me that I needed to make a choice, whether to follow him to the Dragon Continent to see the beautiful scenery I had never seen, or to stay in Boris to watch the fireworks show.

Because these two choices are very good, it makes me difficult to choose and hesitate. Looking at me who hadn't made a decision for a long time, my father urged: "The ship to the Tenglong Continent is about to leave, if you don't make a decision, I can't wait for you, so I have to leave first." ”

After several urgings, I had to make up my mind to choose a choice, but then my voice suddenly became hoarse, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't speak, and my father didn't keep me, and as my voice was hoarse, my father left silently, and his face became gloomy and dull when he left.

Immediately I was frightened to wake up, and then I found that I was in the Great Palace, and the relief of not having to choose whether to stay in my hometown to watch the fireworks or go to the Tenglong Continent only lasted for a short two seconds, and I remembered that I now needed to think about the more troublesome reply to the Southern Passage Ultimatum.

It's not as good as the choices in the dream, at least both choices in the dream can bring me happiness.

The meeting at the General Assembly Palace began very quickly, and although some of the members were still out of town and did not return, the matter was not so urgent.

The meeting was half discussed, and it was all meaningless nonsense and shirking responsibility, and when it came to the end, they actually pushed the decision-making power on me.

So, as far as I'm concerned, should I compromise or oppose the Southern Seaway?

It is impossible to accept it all, the old waterway will not allow such a proposal of the southern waterway, and if it is opposed, it will have to send troops to fight, and when you think of the poor financial situation of Bourbon in recent years, and this time the target is the southern waterway, then the amount of money to be spent must be astronomical, and it is chilling to think about it.

After the fruitless meeting had been debated until dawn, the members of parliament went back to their estates, leaving me alone looking at the General Palace.

I pondered for a long time on the reply to the Southern Passage, and thought about it for a long time, but I really didn't want to start a war with the Southern Passage, and he was one of the three Passages of the Bourbon Headquarters no matter how he said it.

So after much deliberation, I cautiously wrote in my reply:

I hope that the wise and wise nobles of the Southern Passage can understand the overall situation and give full play to the spirit of forbearance for the country, no matter how big the matter, we can solve it through negotiation, as a Bourbon noble, there is no need to dance knives and spears against each other, and make flesh and blood, this kind of sad past that makes relatives and enemies happy.

As for the ultimatum of the Southern Passage, it is not non-negotiable, and the General Assembly Palace is urgently negotiating to try to discuss a mutually agreeable clause. However, I also cautiously see that there are a few clauses in the ultimatum that are too harsh, and if the Southern Passage had lowered the requirements a little, it might have brought the discussion at the General Palace to a quicker conclusion.

In any case, peace is the best, and the Bourbon people should not have Bourbon blood on their hands, hoping that the dispute between the Old Passage and the Southern Passage will be limited to the negotiating table.

- The 114th Consul of Bourbon, "Beautiful Man" Luhr VIII

It wasn't until after I left office that I learned about the fate of my letter.

It is said that when the letter was sent to the Southern Passage, Hades, the governor of the Southern Passage, laughed and mocked, "How can the Bourbon Governor be such a person?" and Napolika, who had been a friend of me, disdained to say, "Is Bourbon a Bourbon a Bourbon or a Bourbon of the Old Passage?"

And the decisiveness of the Southern Passage was beyond my expectation, and not long after I sent the letter, I was called for help from the Glory faction, which had once again attacked the Glory faction, and now the Glory faction was screaming and seeking our intervention.

There was no other way, I gave the order to start a war in the General Palace, and I wanted to take the blame and resign.

"I am personally responsible for the rebellion in the Southern Passages, and I am responsible for the promotion of his fierce general, Napolika, for which I am responsible. ”

However, my resignation report was sent back by the General Assembly, and the family sent an elder to explain the reason to me: "Bourbon has been a country for a thousand years, and since ancient times, how can the consul resign as soon as the war has started? ”

At the end of the words, the family elder also shyly replied to me that in addition to the above reason, there is another reason that is not very important, because I have become the governor, I can make some policy adjustments, and the family needs to ensure that I am still the governor until these policy adjustments are completed, so as to protect these policies.

Therefore, although I mishandled the war in the Southern Passages, I did not lose my position as Governor, but it was not a pity that I was blessed with it, and I was subjected to numerous tortures as Governor in the years that followed.

Bourbon, as a vast republic for a thousand years, has fought countless wars and has planned various military operations.

For example, on the battlefield of Ingona, Bourbon has several sets of military plans, and the most common and popular plan is to borrow the friendly relationship with the western border alliance and the western core of Incona, pay their occupation fee, in exchange for borrowing their port and spy system, and then sail all the way north by navy, sail to the northern core of Incona to land, and start attacking south from here.

If Ingonia had invaded the Colony of the Dragons from the south before this, there would be no need to panic, because the Bourbon Expatriate Alliance, which was in front of it, would inform the General Palace of the movements of the Ingona army, and Ingona's whereabouts would be nowhere to be seen in the eyes of the General Palace, and they could continue to attack them.

When they reach the southern coast, the Bourbon will also use their superior navy to ensure that reinforcements can support any port, leaving them to wander inland.

By this time, Bourbon's other troops should have landed in the northern core, and then Bourbon could launch a counteroffensive and flank Ingona from the north and south. On the way of the army's attack, the Bourbon Diaspora Alliance, the Western Core, and the Western Frontier Alliance, which are the backbone of the Incona region, provide logistical support and intelligence support for Bourbon.

In the previous Nine Years' War, as well as the previous wars of punishment against Ingona, Bourbon had won through this military plan, and the only thing to worry about was the unbearable security war after going deep into the interior, which was why Bourbon could not conquer Ingena despite repeated victories.

As for the plan against Maisica, on the one hand, it is to invade from the Myramie Peninsula to the north of Maisica, and then use the powerful Bourbon navy and the support of Bourbon in the Maisica Concession to quickly control the South Myramie Bay and invade to the south, and then attack from both sides.

According to past experience, it only takes 3 years for Bourbon to make Messika a landlocked country, and another 4 years to make Messika go to the woods to fight guerrillas and win a brilliant victory - and then it stops there, Bourbon and Maisaka have fought so many times, and none of them can successfully annihilate the Maisica army that ran to the woods to fight guerrillas, so they can only pinch their noses and sign an unequal treaty with Maisica that did not meet expectations.

When I was at Boris College, my tutor there commented that it was because of the woods that Mai Xi Ka was able to survive until now, and that Mairami on the Myrami Peninsula had died in the country.

As for the Edonan Peninsula, the interior of the Edonan Peninsula is much larger than the Myramie Peninsula, and the Bourbons can only colonize the eastern coastline and explore the remaining coastline of the Edonan Peninsula.

But fortunately, over the years, the Aionxi barbarians have not caused much trouble, except for the time from 1402 to 1405, most of the time they were defeated by Edonan, and there is basically no need to worry about Bourbon.

The war plan against the sea beasts, this is even simpler, let the huge fleet of Bourbon attack, after repeated sweeps, even the immortal epic five sea dragons mentioned in "Sailing 30,000 Leagues South, I Return with Lull" have been swept away by Bourbon 4 in the past thousand years, and now their heads are still hanging in the Palace of the General Assembly!

However, the trouble is that this time the enemy is a rebellion within Bourbon, and it is not a rebellion against taxes by the people, but a joint rebellion of the entire administrative district!

How long has it been since this happened in Bourbon? It's been four or five hundred years, not since the discovery of Myrami.

Therefore, when I asked the generals of Bourbon if they had any plans for war against the Southern Passage, these generals who had distinguished themselves in battle actually sat in front of me.

I had no choice but to send someone to the library to rummage through the piles of old papers, looking for war plans that were at least four or five hundred years old.

The plan was reported, and there were two main types of war plans at that time: a main city rebellion, first cut off the main city from other main cities, and then send troops to press it, and then, it was gone...... Obviously, there is no reference value.

The second category is large-scale rebellions, such as the Southern Passage rebellion.

When I saw this name for the first time, I was almost excited, this group of white-eyed wolves in the Southern Passage had rebelled hundreds of years ago, and now I can refer to the wisdom of my ancestors.

As a result, after being reminded by the paperwork, my heart instantly cooled, because the "Southern Passage" in this report is not the same concept as the current Southern Passage, in fact, the Southern Passage at that time was the southern area of today's old Passageway!

Sure enough, the war plan in this report was to use the superior fleet to control the sea power, and then the army would press the territory and take it by land and water.

However, the biggest difference between the southern waterway and the current southern waterway is that the southern waterway and the old waterway are not connected at all on land, and are isolated by forests and deserts, so they can only be connected by sea!!

"There's no way, the generals will go out to fight the rebels first, and then discuss the war plan in the long run," I can't find any war plan, so I can only give the order to go out so decadently.
