Chapter 20: The Opportunity to Hold the King (Page 1/1)

"But does this mean that we have to fight against the Purple Eagle Empire and the Iberian Kingdom at the same time?" asked the Minister of Human Resources, Moranxin.

"We were originally attacking on the north, south, and southeast fronts. After allowing the Empire to wipe out the kingdom's forces in northern Suero, it would take no less troops to defend against the Empire's invasion near the Armando River than it would take to capture and then defend Blackwood Pass. It is impossible for us to pin our hopes on the fact that the people of the empire will accept it when they see it, and the meat is in front of them, and there is no reason why the wolf will not eat it. Wang Ji said from afar.

Wang Jiyuan's remarks were endorsed by many committee members.

Xiao Chen also agreed: "According to my words, Suero is a pearl in the west of the kingdom, countless riches are concentrated here, do you expect the leading generals of the imperial people to enter the hinterland of the kingdom, and be indifferent in the face of such a city full of gold coins? In the eyes of the imperial people, I am afraid that we are no different from other lords of the kingdom, and the name of the Chinese cannot stop their greed." ”

"So, you mean to form an alliance with Count Carlos?" Chang Lin asked.

"Yes. There are several benefits to forming an alliance. Xiao Chen stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one, "First of all, it can reduce the cost of mutual prevention between us and them, whether we adopt the posture of waiting for the opportunity or the posture of rushing alone, it will make them feel uneasy." By forming an alliance, we can at least coordinate our actions with each other and liberate our forces and theirs.

Secondly, after forming an alliance, we can also borrow their 'righteousness'. We are not part of the kingdom's political circles, but Count Carlos is one of the most important ones.

The Count had already mentioned that he wanted to welcome Prince Javier to him, and he must have had the idea of appointing a new prince to fight against Queen Laura. This matter is now opposed by Metatron, who is the guardian of Prince Javier, and Master Gabriel, who is Prince Javier. However, if we form an alliance, even if the prince is not with the earl, he will have enough reason to raise the banner of the king. According to my understanding of the nobility of the kingdom, whether Prince Javier is there or not will make a big difference in the difficulty of the count's siege. ”

Xiao Chen glanced at Master Gabriel, who now belonged to the Ministry of Magic, and the latter immediately nodded: "According to the tradition of the nobles of the kingdom, without the bloodline of Prince Javier, it is directly related to whether what Count Carlos is doing is to support the king or rebel. This is very different for a lot of nobles who waver in the middle.

May and I were reluctant to send Prince Javier to the Count because I knew very well that having a king would not satisfy the ambitions of the Arias family, nor would it be able to release their long-standing grievances. But if the prince is here, it's a different story. Javier doesn't have to be king, but if his name can take more land for the Tower of China and add some strength to the revenge of the Tower of Radiant Wings, then it doesn't hurt to use it. ”

"Even if Javier can't be king?" Morankhin asked.

Gabriel glanced at her, and he didn't have the enthusiasm for Xiao Chen at all. He said in an indifferent tone: "After coming here for so long, I have seen too many things that I have never seen before. You are different from any other country in this world, and the closer you get, the more you can feel that there is a set of rules with terrible potential beneath this exotic landscape.

Whether it's a kingdom or an empire, the way they operate is really far from what you think, and all aspects are not in the same era. I used to think that the power of magic was the most powerful of all, but when I came here and saw the things connected together and burst out with terrifying power, I knew that my former self was too superficial.

I know very well that the world will either be presented in your way, or it will be destroyed at the hands of the gods of nature, and I am afraid that there may not be a place for a king. Javier's identity can be put to good use, but he himself should live incognito in this city. ”

Xiao Chen heard Gabriel's words, and had some admiration in his heart, although this great magician is usually not very quiet, but he does have extraordinary insight, what Gabriel said has a lot in common with Xiao Chen's cognition.

Xiao Chen said: "The sooner this war ends, the better. So if we can use the alliance to get the Count to get rid of the wavering centrists quickly, it would be a good thing for us. ”

At this time, Luo Ling added: "In addition, the alliance has another advantage, which is that we can take the opportunity to infiltrate the territory of our 'allies', intervene in their economy in the name of funding, and slowly change their industrial structure, so that they can bind their industrial chain to our economy, and implement this process in the war, which will be much faster than promoting this process through commercial trade in peacetime." This allows us to increase our raw material supply and markets. ”

"Maybe we should make an aid package with our allies. Chang Lin nodded again and again, looking very interested in his Luo Ling's thoughts.

Even Bai Yicheng said: "From this point of view, the alliance is a long-term plan. ”

Because of Xiao Chen and Luo Ling's analysis, many people see opportunities on the other side of the matter, and for them, in the face of the benefits contained in these opportunities, the risks caused by forming an alliance are simply not worth mentioning. So a lot of people started to change their stance. Discuss with each other.

"I think your words are much more useful than mine. These people are clearly impressed by the immediate benefits. Xiao Chen sighed to Luo Ling in the Bridge of Souls.

"The most important quality of a good politician is to know when and with what force everyone around him. How the different martial arts of faith, interests, reputation, and responsibility should be used on different people is a big question. Luo Ling said a little proudly.

"Politicians, pull it down. That's not something I've done. Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, "I'm just a little smart, and with more information, I can see the problem from different angles." Those three words you said are too heavy. ”

Luo Ling didn't say anything, just a chuckle came from her soul.

It took more than two hours for everyone to end this heated discussion, and even many specific implementation suggestions have been put forward by this time.

Guo Qian took the opportunity to initiate a vote, and as a result, in this meeting, the committee passed the resolution of forming a military alliance with Count Carlos and others.
