Chapter 516: The Final Battle of the Sea of Bourbon (18) The Trap of Koutumat

History of Bourbon's Maritime Wars, Chapter 10, Trivia of the Toxie War

[Translator's guide: In Chapter 10, Hudros ends the early stage of the war, calling this stage the plateau, and thinks that there is not much worth introducing, mainly talking about the war process in the years before the Great Rebellion after the defeat of the Siege of Dolomi, as a transitional chapter before the most wonderful Great Rebellion. 】

[When Cadosh withdrew from the siege, Cadosh III had to resign, and due to the failure of his son's siege of Dolomi, Cadosh III, who was criticized as "conformist and too conservative", had to relinquish the throne and hand it over to the "more prepared and energetic" Fermar people. 】

[So Boris temporarily suspended the aggressive offensive and began to conduct a new sea king election, and finally in the year 2068 of the Great Calendar, the 12th sea king of the Ferma dynasty of Boris was elected, his name is Cardosh, and he is the son of Lotas of Nice of the Ferma family, and he is called Lotas III after succeeding to the throne. 】

[After Lotas III took office, his strategic thinking was basically inherited from Cardoch III, believing that it was necessary to ensure that the homeland, especially the most likely Fintina Passage, was not attacked. He once said to his attendants: "It would be an intolerable fault for me if the native of Boris was violated during my reign." ”】

[So after the autumn harvest in 2068, Lotas III began to send large-scale reinforcements to the eastern front of Bourbon Island, and before the soldiers set out for the battle, he stood on the Place Fermar to encourage the soldiers, and I (18 years old) happened to be on the Place de la Fermar at the time, so I heard his speech with my own ears. 】

["Soldiers, you are going to go on a march to forge military feats for you with the blood of traitors and protect the peace of our borders. Contemptible traitors have tried to invade our land, but they will not succeed, for we will exterminate them in the traitor's lair and prevent them from stepping into our country. ”】

[When Lotas III succeeded to the throne, in addition to increasing reinforcements on the Eastern Front, he also replaced all the commanders of the four major fronts (Bourbon Island Western Front, Bourbon Island Eastern Front, Edonan, and Portlou) with a group of generals who were considered by Lotas III to be energetic. 】

[Originally, in 2069, the most eye-catching event should have been the battle between Boris and the Pokon rebels on the Eastern Front, but the outbreak of the "Third Toxie War" completely overshadowed the limelight on the Eastern Front of Bourbon Island, and the eyes of the powerful people of the Bourbon Sea once again gathered on Braazon. 】

[In fact, the cause of the matter has been buried as early as last year, starting from 2068, there have been many nobles in Brayazon who have repeatedly accused Butoxi, claiming that Butoxsi indulged domestic pirates to the point of unscrupulousness, and these Toksi pirates not only plundered the sea of Brayasong, but even ignored the ban of the alliance on the other side, and repeatedly smuggled contraband to Boris. 】

[In the face of these accusations of Braazon, Butoxi called it nonsense and took the case to Portlou's side.] Unwilling to provoke either Braazon or Bhutoxi, Portlou decided to leave it to Congress for detailed discussion, and then dismissed the lawsuit between the two countries. 】

[This incident laid an excuse for the invasion of Brayathon, so by 2069, Brayathon officially launched an invasion of Bhutoxi, because it was the Toksi pirates as the reason for the invasion, so the divine realm named this war "The Third Toksi War", a secondary war under the "Bourbon Sea War". 】

[After the outbreak of the war, Portlou quickly sent envoys to the two countries to try to reconcile, and not surprisingly, both countries wanted Portlou to be on their side. 】

[On the issue of taking sides between Braazon and Butoxi, Portlou still maintains a hesitant attitude, unwilling to easily take sides and push the hostile countries of the two countries to the other side, and as a result, Portlou can only play tricks and engage in duplicity to prevaricate this matter. 】

[In my opinion, Portulou's diplomatic strategy towards the two countries in the "Third Tokxi War" is very good, and can be described as the most wonderful diplomatic measure since the beginning of the war, and the person who proposed this diplomatic measure was Kutumat, the son of the noble king Lul V of Portru, and Kutumatt's proposal was strongly and strongly supported and implemented by his father. 】

[As for Kutumat's suggestion, Portloo later called it the Kutumat Conspiracy, and most of our allies called it the Kutumat Hoax.] 】

[First of all, Potlu sent secret envoys to BrayazΓ³n and Bhutoxi, and these two secret envoys only knew the existence of the other party, but did not really know each other's intentions, they thought that the other party's intentions were only known from the documents given by Kutumat. 】

[On the one hand, among the envoys sent to Brayazon, the secret envoys declared that if they wanted Bulllou to accept Brayason's war with Butoxsi and not interfere, Brayazon needed not to occupy Forles for twenty years after signing the secret treaty, and if Brayazon could commit to this, Potroux could acquiesce in Brayazon's war with Butoxi. 】

[As we all know, Butokesi is located on the Butokesi Peninsula, which is named after the abbreviation of other countries, and the land bordering the Butokesi Peninsula and the Tenglong Continent is the narrow Follais Isthmus. At this time, Butoksi was in control of the Nasumi Guard, which crossed the Isthmus of Forles. 】

[So the hidden meaning of Potlu is that within twenty years, the land north of Foris in the Nasumi Guard can be occupied by Braiason, and as for Forlais Fortress, it can be attacked, surrounded, but not occupied. 】

[The reason why Portlou's attitude towards Brayazon is like this is because Kutumat believes that if Braiasson does not defeat Fleiss in twenty years, and then fights Forles after twenty years, then it will take decades of effort for Bhutoxon to succumb to Bhuttoxi, and so many years together will be enough for Portlou to defeat Boris. 】

[And Portlou warned Braazon that this was not a suggestion but an ultimatum, because in Portru's view, Braazon was the instigator of the war, and at this time Portlou's huge army was still idle and ready to do anything because Boris had not landed, and if Braazon was unwilling to obey, Portlou was willing to find war for his army. 】

[In the face of Potloo's stern threats, Blaazon compromised and promised to sign a secret treaty with Potlou, but the term was changed from twenty to fifteen years, and he could not raid the coast of Blaazon frantically, and all other rules were the same. 】

(The difference between a secret treaty and a treaty is that the treaty is signed by the gods, and if you violate the treaty, you will be punished, while the secret treaty is signed by the devil, and only the devil needs to pay liquidated damages for breaking the secret contract.) οΌ‰

[On the other hand, another secret envoy sent by Portlou went to Butoxi.] In the past, when Portlou and Braazon were enemies, Butoksi used to be the best friend of Portoux, and the two countries maintained a friendship for hundreds of years. 】

[The differences between the two countries can be traced back to the "Third Urchi War", when Bhutoxi betrayed Porto's interests, and when the "Epos Ban" was revoked, Portlou began to fight for Bhuttoxon, and even sided with Bhutoazon in the "Maz Island Trade War". 】

[After arriving in Nasu, the capital of Boutox, the secret envoy of Portlou threatened Bhutoxi as he did with Brayazon, demanding that Bhutoxi restrain his Toksi pirates, impose a complete embargo on Boris in terms of trade on Maz Island, and secure smuggling ships. 】

[Portolu's envoy claimed that if Bhutoxi could agree to this condition, Portlou would be willing to speak for Bhutoxi and ensure that Brayazon would not occupy Forrest for about twenty years, and if Bhutoxi was unwilling to agree to this condition, then out of the century-old friendship between the two countries, Portlu would at most promise not to aid Brayason.] 】

[This is the cunning of Kutumat's suggestion, you must know that the negotiations between the two envoys to foreign countries are going on at the same time, and the two sides have no way of knowing the actions of the other party, especially for the envoys here in Butoxi, the document does not even say when he will not occupy Fleis, so he can only describe it in general terms.] 】

[Despite this, Butoxie was still intimidated by Portoux's threat, and was vaked by Kutumat's strategy, and they succumbed to all the conditions proposed by Portoux, and completely embargoed Boris (not before, but only a trade penalty) to restrain the Toksi pirates.] 】

[Then, Portlou's envoy in Butoxi pretended to go to Brayazon to mediate, contacted the envoy in Brayazon, and after obtaining Brayason's conditions, returned to Bhutoxi, and informed him of the final result. 】

[Brayazon will not occupy Fleith for fifteen years, but Butoxi will not be able to occupy the coastal cities of Brayazon, in addition to agreeing to the conditions that Potlou himself has proposed.] After Butoxi agreed, the envoy went to inform Brayason, and thus successfully completed the operation of the white wolf with empty gloves. 】

[Brayathon and Bhutoxi did not react to Kutumat's plot until more than a decade later, which made them angry, Brayathon was angry that he had wasted many years, and Bhutoxsi was angry that he was frightened by a treaty that had not yet been signed, and completely tied to Portoux's chariot. 】

[The "Third Toksi War" was not much different from the "Maz Island Trade War", Butoxie still lost all the Nasumiwei lands north of Forles within a year, and the better part was that the army would not be unable to return, and he had to borrow the port of Lotti in Ulch to return home. 】

[In the summer of 2070, after a year of siege, Boris captured Dolomi, and part of the Pokon rebels retreated to Kadara in the north, while the other part retreated inland led by Surifer, looking for an opportunity to harass the coastal cities. 】

[After the autumn harvest of 2071, Boris sent troops from Dolomi to surround Kadara, and the generals proudly issued a proclamation to the country, claiming that as long as it takes 3 years, the Eastern Front can be restored to its original state, the Polly army can be expelled, and then the delayed "two-front plan" can be continued. 】

[When this news was received, Lotas III announced the news on Fermar Square and gave Pease a day off, and Lotas firmly believed that as long as the two-line plan was continued, Boris would be victorious. 】

[So, in the last year of the plateau, when Braazon besieged Fleiss, Boris besieged Kadara, and Portlou spent in the preparation for the landing of West Isaacs, the Bourbon naval war ushered in a period of great rebellion with turning significance after the end of the plateau, and the original camps were reshuffled one after another, and the countries no longer obeyed the orders of the suzerain, but chose the most suitable camp for their own countries according to their own interests, and the Bourbon naval war also entered the first climax. 】
