Chapter 2: The Mosk Entente (2-in-1, Subscription Requested!! )
"The countries of the alliance must achieve in-depth cooperation in all fields, implement a common policy of foreign affairs, defense and the General Assembly, further expand the power of the alliance beyond national institutions, establish a supreme council of the alliance, and follow the supreme decisions of the parliament of the alliance in international affairs."
At the conference table, Mavi began to explain the content of the treaty: "The countries of the Northern Alliance should unify their currencies and exchange rates, and among all the Entente countries, they should open their customs, establish a customs union, and remove tax and quantitative restrictions in the trade of goods, so that goods can circulate freely."
"In addition, the Entente should also abide by the decision of the Union Parliament to adopt a uniform policy of restriction on non-Entente countries, and the tariffs must be the same."
"Citizens of the Entente countries can enter and leave each other's countries at will with their passports, so that citizens have no borders and no restrictions on goods."
"At the same time, citizens of the Entente countries, regardless of the Entente country in which they reside, have the right to vote and to stand for election in the Union and local elections, and to recognize the right of any citizen who wishes in the European Parliament..."
The kings listened in silence to Mavi's voice, and their expressions were extremely solemn.
This is an extremely bold attempt, and the formation of the Great Northern Alliance will undoubtedly bring benefits to all parties, and it is more like a truce pact than an alliance.
"Reaching in-depth cooperation in all fields..."
When Mavi finished, Arthur asked, "Does that include the industrial side?"
"Not only industry, but also other industries such as healthcare, education, and scientific research need to be connected."
These treaties were clearly unfair to the Kingdom of Windsor, which was industrially powerful and had completed its industrial revolution.
Coal was the main resource during the steam age, but the kingdom of Windsor, with its many colonies, had no shortage of mines, and even without the help of the resources of the Romanov kingdom, they could still grow rapidly.
On the contrary, without the blessing of the industrial technology of the Kingdom of Windsor, the Kingdom of Romanov would have to go a long way to catch up with them, a process that could be ten or twenty years, and would require at least one generation's efforts.
Generally speaking, the Kingdom of Windsor does not need the Romanov Kingdom to live well, but the Romanov Kingdom needs the Kingdom of Windsor to quickly become a first-class power.
Is Mavi eccentric?
The answer is yes.
He can't make a bowl of water, especially in the establishment of the Great Northern Alliance, there will definitely be sacrifices.
As a friend, Arthur would not hesitate to agree to these conditions, but as a king, he had to object.
"What can the Romanov kingdom give us?"
Looking into Arthur's eyes, Mawei thought for a long time, and suddenly said, "Everyone, please give us a little space."
Katerina, Karl IX and other kings got up and left the conference room, including Levin, Dino and other members of the church, and all left.
Soon, only Mavi and Arthur were left in the meeting room, as well as Yunia who was sitting on the side fiddling with the ragdoll bear.
"Father, I understand your thoughts, and I support you very much, but you can't help the Romanov Kingdom at the expense of the interests of the Windsor Kingdom, it's too partial." Arthur said.
"You don't understand what I'm thinking, Arthur."
This was the first time that Mavi had called Arthur's name to his face, and he asked with a burning eye, "How many more years do you think the Kingdom of Windsor can be a superpower?"
"Forever."
After a pause, Arthur, who perhaps felt that this answer was too conceited, put it another way: "In a hundred years, Windsor must be the most powerful country in the world."
Hearing this answer, Ma Wei shook his head and smiled helplessly, "A hundred years... The United States of Citi to the west is rapidly rising, and it is strategically located far from the Central Continent and therefore away from strife."
"Strife? Do you think there will be a civil war in the Central Continent?"
"Don't you think so? Don't tell me you don't feel that way at all."
Arthur pursed his lips, he did have a sense of crisis, especially after Napoleon and Caesar were reborn, the sense of crisis immediately increased.
Looking at the current situation in the Central Continent, the Kingdom of Frederick is busy annexing the Rhine Alliance and going militarist
The Republic of Bonaparte is poised to take off, and the Roman Republic is also rapidly rising, not to mention the Voodoo Kingdom in the southern continent.
In contrast, the Kingdom of Windsor has been standing still, not to mention that it has not made great progress in recent years, and has lost a lot of national strength in the war.
The position of the leading boss has been threatened, and the challenges are increasing day by day.
After Nereida's return, a great battle between the God of Truth and the God of Apocalypse is imminent, and it will never be too far away.
The Great Northern Alliance was formed in response to the coming shock.
"The civil war in the United States of Citi will soon be over, and I don't want them to get a respite, but the return of Nereida has forced me to shift my focus to the Apocalypse Divine System."
Originally, he planned to unite the Romanov Kingdom with the Kingdom of Windsor, send troops to besiege the United States of Citigroup, and directly conquer it, but it backfired, and the appearance of Nereida made the Church of Truth suddenly increase the pressure and could not be distracted to deal with the United States of Citi.
No one knows better than Mavi the threat posed by the United States of Citi, and in the long run, the name of the Windsor Kingdom will be taken away from the empire on which the sun never sets.
The sun always sets at a moment.
The geographical location of the Kingdom of Windsor makes them take the lead in the Age of Discovery, and similarly, in the following Age of Nations, the Kingdom of Windsor, which lacks resources and population, will definitely be surpassed.
"Once a war breaks out between the God of Truth and the God of the Apocalypse, the result will be devastating, and without the resources of the Romanov Kingdom, the Kingdom of Windsor will suffer an unbearable blow and will never recover."
Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "You think I want to suck the blood of the Windsor Kingdom and subsidize the Romanov Kingdom, but in fact, I am giving the Windsor Kingdom a future, a country, if it loses its future, no matter how powerful it is, it will only be a flash in the pan, and there will be no duckweed."
"Can war be avoided?" Arthur asked.
"War is not up to me." Ma Wei shook his head slowly, "Now the Church of Truth is still the weak side, and the initiation of the war is in the hands of Nereida, if he wants to attack us, we must take it."
Surprisingly, in the two weeks since Nereida's return, the Apocalypse Divine Department has not acted too out of the ordinary, not at all like it is preparing for battle, but it is no different from before.
Is this another plan, or is it to shift the focus and not want the two gods to break out into a war and be exploited by the ancient gods.... It's all possible.
But it is even more obvious that the returning god is called Nereida, not Asis.
Arhiss is mentioned in the doomsday prophecy left by Nereida, which Mavi remembers very well:
The world is shrouded in darkness, and the last light will appear in the cold north, and in the snow and ice in the sky, the human craftsmen take up the hammer and build the last line of defense under the leadership of the new god and Asis, but this is only a remnant, and if the prophesied one cannot return, everything is in vain.
These are the last few lines of prophecy of the Calamity Tablet, and if the new gods are referring to Yunia, then how could Asis join forces with her?
An ancient god, a god of faith, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to join forces!
Besides, isn't Nereida the vest that Asis used to steal the creation of *** energy?
He has succeeded, what is he still pretending?
He predicted that he would stand with Yunia against the Old Gods...
Ma Wei couldn't figure out what it would be like.
But if you think of Levin, it seems to be able to explain it.
If Nereida's prophecy was just to see the picture, then what he saw would be Levin?
There may be many, and it is difficult to say with certainty, but there is no doubt that Nereida predicted that she would join forces with the God of Truth in the future, and this prophecy was completely unknown to Anatole!
"You have to understand that what the Windsor Kingdom has paid is nothing more than the so-called industrial technology, and it is difficult to develop these technologies, but the Windsor Kingdom has enjoyed the dividends, and what you need is new technology, not just eating the old books!" Ma Wei said.
"Romanov
The kingdom's industrial base, education..."Arthur smiled, a little disdainful: "Priest, the Romanov Kingdom only has the advantages of a vast territory and a large number of laborers, and in other aspects, it is really not competitive."
"But have you ever thought that the advent of gold technology will lead the industry to a different path? Don't underestimate any country, after all, hundreds of years ago, the Kingdom of Windsor was too weak to be looked down upon."
Arthur's expression was solemn, and he put away his contempt, he was indeed a little arrogant, even if it was just a little superiority, it was not appropriate.
The industry, scientific research, and economy of the Kingdom of Windsor are indeed very strong, but can they be strong forever?
As Ma Wei said, the Roman Empire, which was so powerful two thousand years ago, has not been annihilated in the long river of history?
How can you be sure that the Kingdom of Windsor will not have that day?
With a vast land area and a population of 200 million, can the Romanov Kingdom really not rise?
own cousin, Katerina Romanov ....
Arthur remembered Katerina's eyes, which were full of ambition and desire, and Katerina's thin body seemed to hide something like a beast, ready to pounce and eat him.
Because when you become a king, are you proud?
Arthur's heart was stirred, and his emotions became restrained, and when he raised his head again, he became the ambitious fourth prince that Mavi had seen in New Ross.
"I almost lost myself in the sound of Your Majesty." Arthur smiled slightly, "Priest, I think I can call them in."
"Yunia."
"Got it, Dad!"
Gragging the Muppet Bear by the arm, Yunia jumped out of her chair, pushed open the door of the conference room, and said to Katerina and the others outside the door, "Daddy told you to come in!"
When the meeting began again, Arthur changed his tune and agreed to the terms of the Entente for deep cooperation with the Romanov Kingdom.
Karl IX and other kings were shocked, and they didn't understand what kind of ecstasy soup Mavi had poured into him, and in a few minutes, their attitude changed drastically....
"With regard to the new currency, we should set up a Union Central Bank for entrusted issuance, and of course the members of the Union Central Bank will be elected from among the people nominated by the various Entente countries to ensure impartiality."
"As for the members of the Coalition Council, they are also recommended by the Entente themselves, and each Entente and the Church side have a seat, and the Speaker will be elected after the members of the Council are determined."
If the Church of Truth also sends someone into the Coalition Council, then the Speaker will definitely be a member of the Church of Truth, and when they heard that Ma Wei and Levin were going to enter the Alliance Council as representatives, everyone tacitly acquiesced to Ma Wei as the Speaker, but...
Ma Wei actually gave up the position of speaker to Levine.
To be precise, it is recommended.
In the end, a unified vote will be held to determine, but from Levin's confused expression, it can be roughly guessed that Ma Wei did not greet him in advance and suddenly made a decision.
Speaker, Ma Wei is not impossible, he has the qualification and the ability, but in his opinion, Levin needs this opportunity more than him.
The Church of Truth can't be the only one who can convince the public, if he does everything himself, not to mention that Ma Wei doesn't have so much energy, the impact alone is not good.
The prophecy clearly states that the prophet will open the devil's door with his own hands and leave the Church of Truth, and if he is the prophet, then there will definitely be a vacuum without a pope in the Church of Truth in the future.
At that time...
It takes someone who can preside over the big picture.
Fat Tangerine is a cat, and even if he becomes a human, it is difficult to convince the public.
Christopher is not capable enough, and he does not have enough prestige to gain the trust of the people.
Dino's ability is good, but he still has to manage the central bank of the Union and the finances of the church, where is the energy to be the pope?
Again...
The transcendent leaders of Babas and Rogin don't recognize him at all.
Only Levine, who has fought side by side together, can barely be
Command them.
Among the Church of Truth, only Levin can reluctantly take over the position of pope, and as for whether he can sit firmly, Ma Wei is not clear, and the road must be paved in advance in case of emergency.
Letting Levin become the speaker is also to show up in front of these kings, and have a status high enough to at least be familiar.
As for other issues in the coalition parliament, Mavi will also participate as a councillor.
The establishment of the Northern Alliance was a foregone conclusion, and when Arthur took the lead in signing, Karl IX and other colonial leaders also signed their names on the treaty, so far, the "Treaty of Political Union", the "Treaty of the Northern Economic and Monetary Union", and the "Mosk Entente" were formally adopted, and the first batch of eight member states will enter into force on March 1.
The news of the formation of the Northern Alliance soon spread, and when Napoleon learned of the signing of the Treaty of Mosk, which was led by Maavi, he immediately made up his mind.
"Send my handwritten letter to the church, and to the kings such as Caesar and William V, and tell them that this is an extraordinary situation and that we should also make an alliance and cooperate sincerely."
The guards looked at Napoleon's autograph letter and were stunned, noticing his expression, Napoleon grinned: "Why, do you think it's incredible that I will unite with them?"
"Your Majesty, back then—"
"Back then, it was because I didn't have enough reliable allies that led to the final defeat, and I won't make the same mistake a second time."
