Chapter 312: The number one winner of the first liquidation (2).
In the era when Bourbon dominated the three seas, Bourbon was the core of the three seas, and all diplomatic actions of all countries were carried out with Bourbon as the center. After the fall of Bourbon, diplomacy has not only become simpler, but has become more complicated with the collapse of the superpowers, so complicated that when you look at the diplomacy of these countries, it is a bit confusing.
The rules followed in the post-Bourbon era are roughly as follows: your ally today is likely to be tomorrow's enemy, and with the complex changes in the diplomatic situation, it is possible to be both an ally and an enemy.
This can be traced back to the largest inheritor of the Bourbon heritage, Boris, although Boris inherited the largest Bourbon inheritance, the trade network, but Boris still cannot be compared with the Bourbon heyday, at best half of the small Bourbon, inherited the trade network of the eastern Bourbon.
As a result, Boris could not wantonly start a punitive war as Bourbon did in its heyday, intervene in the countries around the three seas, and let the situation in the surrounding countries go the way he wanted, so as to obtain trade privileges.
When Boris was still the Southern Passage, Boris was no different from other dissenting forces within Bourbon, contacting each other and supporting each other, for the goal of separating from Bourbon in the future, so at this time, the Southern Passage between Napolica and Hades was an invisible alliance with other camps.
For example, during the civil war in the Southern Passage, Napolika received some material and information support from other forces.
And during the Boris War of Independence, the heroic spirit from the camp of the Tenglong Colonial Guard, Lesono of Alphonci, who has rich naval experience, directly brought volunteers to support, so that Boris fought at sea for a long time on a par with Bourbon's terrible fleet.
It can be said that this period of time is the honeymoon period for the heroes of the anti-Bourbon camp, who are so close and cooperative to fight against the Bourbon.
After the independence of Boris in 1425, the honeymoon period continued, and the Heroic Spirit of the neutral camp of Ingona came into contact with Boris, and the Restoration of Maisica signed the "Treaty of Amity between Napolica and Revision" with Boris, transferring the Bourbon Concession of Maisica to Boris, and sharing trade with Boris with Urchi.
During the Boris War of Independence, the Spirits of the other factions did their best to help Boris, and when the other factions launched the War of Independence, the recovered Boris reciprocated and began to help them. After all, Bourbon is still the most powerful country in the three seas, and other forces must join hands to fight against the terrible Bourbon.
Therefore, in the year 1432 of the Great Calendar, when the Northern Passage launched a war of independence against Bourbon under the leadership of Focordo, Boris and other camps provided all kinds of assistance to the Northern Passage, just as the other camps provided assistance when Boris became independent, and this was the last time that all the anti-Bourbon camps stood on the same front and cooperated closely.
Objectively speaking, the role of Boris aid is really very large, because there are only five main cities in the Northern Passage, and it is really hard against hard to defeat Bourbon, and other camps except Pokang cannot cross the sea to support the Northern Passage, so in this, the transport fleet assistance provided by Boris plays a vital role.
When the second consul of Boris, Napolica I, came to his aid, he was very determined, and relied on his many years of prestige, allies, and merchants who supported the war and wanted to profit from it, and succeeded in suppressing many discontent in the country and providing resources for the northern passages.
At first, many of Boris's intellectuals feared that this would serve as an excuse for Bourbon to break the peace treaty, and indeed Bourbon thus obtained a legal excuse for breaking the peace treaty. But Boris won the bet, and although Bourbon was given a legitimate excuse to declare war, Lul VIII was instigated and did not dare to open another front, so that Napolika I gained more prestige.
But even at this point, the war of independence in the Northern Passage was still very difficult, and it was only thanks to a steady stream of overseas aid, volunteers from the Pokang, Middle-earth Colonial Guards, and Forest Colonies, mercenaries from Edonan, and aid and transport ships from Boris that they barely resisted.
It can't go on like this, there must be a fight and a return in order to continue the war, so Fokodo contacted Pokang - you must know that when Pokang became independent, the Northern Passage gave a lot of resources, such as the heroic spirit Umola of the Northern Passage even went to Pokang in person to guide Pokang in political reform and establish the political system of Pokang.
And now, Pokang is also trying to repay the favor, and the plan of Pokang's dictatorship, Surifer I, is to declare war on Bourbon and open a second battlefield in the north to relieve the pressure on the northern shipping lanes.
The reasons for this are, firstly, because the peace treaty between Pokon and Bourbon is about to expire and a new war can be launched; second, because Compo's defection three years ago has stimulated the ambition of Surivel I, and he wants to expand more territory; third, because Pocon is weak, so he can only gamble on the fortunes of the country and take advantage of the situation to survive.
Suriver I first touched Boris's side and began to contact Boris to discuss Pokang's plan to attack Bourbon, trying to get Boris's permission. Originally, Survier I thought it was a very simple matter, after all, wasn't Bourbon the enemy of Boris?
Napolika I really wanted to agree at first, but was stopped by Hades, because the far-sighted Hades had already seen the future of Bourbon's collapse, and letting Bocom stimulate him now would only make the contradictions explode in advance, but if the contradictions continue to accumulate and erupt at that time, the destructive power will be far greater than now.
Therefore, Hades rejected Pokang's proposal, not only refused, but also leaked Pokang's proposal to Lure VIII through various channels, which caused Lul VIII to panic, so in 1434 there was the "Bourbon-Boris Pokang Prevention Agreement", Bourbon and Boris jointly defended Pokang.
It was also the signing of this agreement that marked the end of the anti-Bourbon honeymoon period of the camps, and the era of crossing rivers and demolishing bridges and selling teammates to each other has arrived.
Boris fired the first shot, followed by Edonan.
Originally, Edonan was sending some materials and mercenaries to aid the rebellion in the Northern Passage, but Bourbon easily attracted Edonan to the Bourbon side by granting Edonan the power to freely pacify the Middle-earth Colonial Guard and the Forest Colonial Guard, and only needed to pay a small symbolic escrow fee, so he could easily attract Edonan to the Bourbon side, at least no longer an enemy.
In Edonan's opinion, the Bourbon tiger is destined to kneel, and even if he doesn't, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of himself when he returns to the Edonan Peninsula, and as for the Northern Passage? Don't you see him beaten so badly by Bourbon? Even if it takes a long time to recover, so there is no need to worry, betrayal is profitable.
So the Colonial Guards of Middle-earth and the Colonial Guards of the Woods were unlucky, they had just raised the anti-flag this year, and prepared their fleets to meet the Bourbon troops landing from the sea, but they were stabbed in the back by Edonan without noticing.
The most unfortunate is the Middle-earth Colonial Guard, he borders with Edonan, and belongs to the Edonan Peninsula, but it was completely annexed by Edonan in less than a year, but the Forest Colony was blocked by a shallow strait with the Edonan Peninsula, and carried Edonan for 3 years, and through a truncated sea-crossing campaign, Edonan completely extinguished the idea of annexing the Forest Colony.
However, as the three forces of the Edonan Peninsula became a mess by themselves, their assistance was stopped, and with the help of the three forces of Edonan stopped, Boris's status was instantly improved, no matter what good things Boris did, Foktor I could only pretend not to see it, and then ask Boris for more assistance.
During this period, Boris aided the Northern Passage and at the same time manipulated Urch, and finally in 1435, he completely replaced Bourbon as an intermediary in Ulch's trade, and his strength rose to a higher level.
For the people of that era, although Napolica I was very powerful at war, Hades was the real terrifying and perverted existence, he was the first in the world to provide "assistance" to both sides of the war, and then make money at both ends.
In 1436, the "Bourbon-Boris 36-year trade agreement" signed between Bourbon and Boris made people's jaws drop, you must know that when this trade agreement was fulfilled, the annual support provided to the Northern Sea Route was still in transit, which made everyone who saw it scold Boris for being shameless, making money at both ends, and eating the upper house and the next house.
But now, whether it is the Northern Passage or Bourbon, it is impossible to leave Boris's material, so it can only let Boris slide down like this, and it is precisely by virtue of this trade agreement that Boris re-entered the Bourbon market, and even launched the first foreign intervention war.
The Unification War of Ingona, which was the first time that Boris officially joined the war since independence, had a very obvious meaning, hoping to replace the original Bourbon position and market share in Ingena with this war.
And in order to ensure that Bourbon is more dependent on himself, Boris is carrying out all these actions while also carrying out a conspiracy behind his back, that is, to incite riots in the southern district. Hades began to lay out in the southern district from 1435 and finally caused riots in the southern district in 1437.
Although the riot was not widespread and short-lived, it succeeded in disrupting Bourbon's plans once again, forcing Bourbon to continue to tolerate Bourbon's two-pronged behavior.
In the years that followed, Boris paid less attention to the outside world because they were busy with the unification war that interfered with India, but they still managed to take advantage of the chaos of Bourbon politics to completely redirect Dumo Liao and force Bourbon to recognize his overseas territories as belonging to Boris.
It can be said that during this period, because of Hades's foresight, everything went smoothly, that is, to take the southern and eastern trade zones and open up the trade zone of the Edonan Peninsula.
It is precisely by virtue of this arrangement that Boris's territory, power, influence, and national strength are steadily advancing, and he has become the biggest winner of the first phase of the Valhalla game.
