The majestic phalanx of infantry marched through the square with neat steps, and Louis X inspected with satisfaction the rows of energetic and heavily armed soldiers in front of him, with flags like fire, halberds like forests, the lily flag representing the royal family of Milan, the black eagle flag representing the Grand Duchy of Mahad, and the Panlong Yunhai flag representing the Duchy of Andaco rising on the flagpole in the center of the square at the same time, this is the annual military meeting of the Triple Alliance, which was held in September in previous years, but this year it was slightly delayed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Milan, Bedoric, the Deputy Prime Minister Mecro from the Grand Duchy of Mahad, and the Deputy Minister of State and Foreign Minister of the Duchy of Andako, Casinich, all gathered behind King Louis X of Milan to watch this scene quietly, and the elite of the 350,000 troops gathered in Lombardy, an important city in the west of Milan, for a military parade in the famous Piazza San Marco to show the unity and military might of the Triple Alliance. In the past, most of the exercises and military parades were attended by military generals from various countries, but this time it was very different, and high-ranking officials from the three countries gathered here, obviously not for a simple military parade, and the strong fighting spirit in it was almost everyone could smell it.

The first to come over is the Knights of St. Field, representing the royal family of the Kingdom of Milan, the bright lily badge is inlaid in the buckle on the shoulders of the knights, shining in the sun, a thousand horses are almost stepping on the same footsteps, each step will make the square tremble slightly, like a 10,000-legged giant neatly moving his limbs, when the knights cross the review stand, the uniform knightly salute is to make the atmosphere rise to the most**.

Then followed by the first infantry regiment of the Milan royal family, which is also the first time that the first infantry regiment of the Milan royal family appeared in front of the public after the Kingdom of Milan hired the Tang military instructor to carry out military reforms。

"Lord Bedolich, it seems that the combat effectiveness of your army has improved a lot, this first infantry regiment of the royal family is worthy of the first army of Milan, and this performance alone is well deserved. Some half-flattering side heads smiled at the Milan Prime Minister, and Mekro, the deputy prime minister of the Grand Duchy of Mahad, also pulled another ally on the side, "Lord Cassinich, it seems that the armies of our two countries also have to learn from the Milan army, and if they always rest on their laurels and sit in the well and watch the sky, then they will really become frogs at the bottom of the well." ”

"Yes, but Lord Mecro, the elite of the Grand Duchy of Mahad is also very strong, and I heard that the first and second divisions of your army have also been highly praised by General Kunek in the early exercises, and it is said that they are completely comparable to the army of the royal family of Milan. The thin man with a thin face looked empty in his robe, like a bamboo pole propped up in his clothes, but his bright and agile eyes showed that this person was not simple.

"Hehe, that's just a compliment from General Kunek, how can the army of our Grand Duchy of Mahad be on par with the army of the King of Milan? Mecro shook his head again and again and said that he did not dare to be this kind of false reputation, whether in terms of quality or quantity, there is still a certain gap between the Mahad army and the Milan royal army, which Mecro is still self-aware.

"Okay, don't tout each other there, it's a mule or a horse, you can see it soon, I hope that our Milan royal army and the Triple Alliance army can play a majestic role in this battle, wash away our humiliation over the years, and also give the Tang Dynasty a clear proof, our Triple Alliance Army can also defeat the Maqi Khan, not only the Tang Army can deal with the Maqi Khan Army, this time is our best opportunity, I hope the two also need to explain their respective generals, this time we must obey the command of General Kunek, and strive for more interests for our Three Kingdoms。 ”

Bedoririch, who smiled slightly wryly, was a little insincere in his words, but things had come to such an extent, it was obviously impossible to get off the ship, and the envoy of the Tang people would sit in the royal capital and not leave, if he wanted to push back again, I was afraid that that guy would really report to Li Wufeng that the alliance was riding on the wall and watching, and now it seems that there is no room for maneuver.

Mekro and Cassinic both heard the reluctance in Bedolich's words, and the two of them also knew that Bedolich was not active in the war against Macede Khan, and the same was true of Louis X, but in the face of great pressure from the Tang Dynasty, the original neutrality policy was forced to change to delay, and now the Tang Dynasty has won a decisive victory in Yuejing, and the attitude towards the Triple Alliance is becoming more and more tough, and even made it clear that if the Triple Alliance cannot play its due role in the war against the Maqi Khan, then the cooperation agreement between the Tang Dynasty and the Triple Alliance needs to be reconsidered, which also means that the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Triple Alliance will be repositionedNo one can be sure what will happen in the future.

Although the officials of the three countries repeatedly explained the policies and opinions of the Triple Alliance to the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, hoping to give the Three Kingdoms more time for the Three Kingdoms to mobilize, the other side was still very tough, criticizing the Triple Alliance for adopting a neutral policy in this war where there could be no bystanders, which meant supporting Ma Qi Khan in disguise, which would hurt the feelings of the Tang people and bring many variables to the relations between the two sides in the future, and urged the Triple Alliance to send troops to Ma Qi Khan to completely solve the threat of Ma Qi Khan to the southern countries of the Eastern Continent。

"Lord Bedorridge, since this war cannot be avoided, we can only accept it, we just hope that the Tang Dynasty can stop the foreign war after this battle, the Eastern Continent has not been quiet since the establishment of their empire, we all hope to establish a reasonable order with the Tang Dynasty, so that we can have enough time to develop the economy, and now the countries of the Western Continent have discovered the New World? Didn't they also discover some islands in the south of the Great South Ocean? If Datang really has more energy to spare, it would be much better to spend more effort on those aspects. Cassinic also sighed slightly, it is also difficult to be attached to the strong, and a little unsatisfactory will cause tension in the relationship, and Andako is also deeply touched.

"Lord Bedolich, the situation in the north seems to be very tense, I heard that the Liberians have joined forces to mobilize and gathered a million troops on the northern border of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that a war between the Datang and the Liberians is inevitable, I wonder if the Datang can support fighting on two fronts at the same time?" Mekro is more concerned about this, the Maqi Khans and the Liboya must have a tacit understanding, once the Liberians defeat the Tang in the north, it is difficult to say whether the situation in the south will be affected, the Triple Alliance does not want to be on the wrong side, which is also the main reason why they want to delay a little longer.

"Two adults, since we are now on the same boat with Datang, we can only go down hard, don't hold half-hearted thoughts, now we can only go all out to cooperate with Datang to solve the problem of Maqi Khan as soon as possible, so that Datang can spare more energy to deal with the Liberians, otherwise the Liberians really defeat Datang, and the Maqi Khans will resurrect, and at that time, the Maqi Khans will not be able to compete with the Liberians, but I am afraid that we will only have to hit our minds. ”

Bedrich also knew that his explanation was a bit far-fetched, but he agreed with His Majesty the King's opinion, the Liberians could not defeat the Tang Dynasty, and it was only a matter of time before the Tang Dynasty won the battle, and the comprehensive national strength of the Liberians could not compete with the Tang Dynasty at all. Instead of offending the Tang Dynasty, it is better to bet on the Tang Dynasty and cooperate with the Tang Dynasty to solve the problem of Ma Qi Khan, the foreign minister of the Tang Dynasty has made it clear that there are only three enemies of the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Continent, the Liboya people, the Japanese people and the Maqi Khans, and the Tang Dynasty will not have any territorial claims and attempts against other countries, including the Nanyang Alliance, which the Tang Dynasty is even willing to guarantee with an open national policy to the people.

Although Louis X and Bedolich did not believe that the Tang Dynasty had the strength and ambition to unify the entire continent, the Tang Dynasty launched frequent wars of conquest in less than two years after the founding of the country did make many surrounding countries have doubts, and at this point, the Tang Dynasty did not come up with a convincing explanation to the surrounding countries with friendly relations, if it is said that it is a vendetta with the Liberians and the Maqi Khans, and there are territorial disputes with the Wa, but the war against the peninsula and the war against the Indean are a bit far-fetchedThis is also the main reason why Milan and the Triple Alliance have been reluctant to formally respond to the Tang alliance, and it is believed that no country is willing to form an alliance with a country that is too ambitious and relies entirely on military conquest.

"Lord Bedorich, do you think the opinion expressed by Lord Wang Yi on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is credible?" Cassinić, like Bedorich, was a little skeptical about the sincerity of the Tang Dynasty.

"Let's wait and see, Wang Yu has returned to Zhongzhou, he promised that within a week of returning to Zhongzhou, Li Wufeng will explain to the public the foreign policy of the Tang Empire, and will also make it clear that he has no territorial ambitions and claims to all parts of the Eastern Continent except Liboya, Wadi and Maqi Khan, as long as he dares to make a public commitment to his people, we can trust him, if he can't do it or is vague, then we need to reconsider our attitude. Bedolici replied quietly.
