"Asturias...... That's right, this evil country should have been destroyed years ago!"

In Parliament, before a large group of councillors, the young man, at least young for the position of consul, spoke out in an impassioned manner: "Think of it, they are the same evil family as Louis XVI, who ruled our country so brutally. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And at the very beginning of the establishment of the Great Republic, he participated in the coalition besieging the Great Republic!

This evil country should have been sanctioned a long time ago, it should have been rewarded and paid for a long time!

However, this had not been mentioned until then - they were intimidated by the complex terrain and the power of the country.

They did not dare to take responsibility for the failure of the assault on Asturias. These cowards deserve to be spurned by history, and rightfully so, they do not deserve to be called part of the Great Republic!

But -- I'm different! Yes, I'm different. I am fully willing to accomplish this great feat. My dear friends, deputies of the Republic, I implore you here, that you may think seriously about this - that is, to attack Asturias. Because it's not just for ourselves, it's for this republic and for all those who love peace and justice!"

Just like any politician, he can say that what is white is black. This time was no exception.

It's obviously for his own ambitions and desires, but he wants to say it's for his own country and nation or something.

In any case, after the consul had said these words, the parliamentarians cheered loudly as if they had been bought.

No, maybe it's not "like" but "is".

Of course, these guys were bought off by Leopold.

Or money, or power, or violence, or whatever.

All in all. These unarmed pathetic fellows might be able to fight happily when faced with something else. But in the face of a heavily armed army, hehe.

Especially those who don't understand what a revolution is, how great it is. It's just that they simply know that the big soldiers who have meat to eat with Leopold are even more in trouble.

That's the way it is, the current parliament is just a rubber stamp. It is just a tool to show that the republic still has enough democratic freedoms and can be called a great democracy.

That's pretty much the case. But these councillors are already satisfied.

With the killing again and again, the passion and justice in their bodies have gradually dissipated. Like any depraved fellow, the passions of youth are gradually replaced by the coldness of middle age.

Especially after seeing political struggles again and again, those guys will be guillotined by another group of guys on the charge of ***.

That's it, and in the end, these guys are also looking forward to an order. I am also hoping that someone will be able to put an end to this chaotic situation.

And in this case, paying a little bit of dignity and then exchanging it for more substantial benefits or something, think about it, it is a natural and acceptable result.

That's pretty much it. After finishing his routine and enjoying the feeling of being loved, the consul Leopold was very happy and quickly made a battle plan - that is, to attack the kingdom of Asturias.

Although the victory on the battlefield is a little bit watery or something.

Nevertheless, the Leopold consul was still a young and promising general and military strategist.

He was well aware of the fighting power of the Asturians.

Under the rule of a decaying and depraved dynasty, the Asturian army would not have been much better than the Visigothic army before the revolution.

Their combat effectiveness was insufficient, and Leopold believed that as long as a few legions were killed, they would be able to win.

This war will not be more difficult than an armed parade.

Then there is the question of how to attack the south.

Yes, compared to the force of the decaying kingdom of Asturias itself, the consul Leopold felt that the geographical advantage of the kingdom was the reason why the kingdom was able to stand tall in the midst of so many storms.

In a sense, the Asturias Peninsula is similar to the Apennine Peninsula in that it is a semi-enclosed terrain surrounded by the sea on three sides, and its connection to the main continent is blocked by mountains.

In fact, for the vast majority of the time, the Apennine Peninsula, the Kingdom of Lombardy, had no land routes to connect to the rest of the world. There is usually only one way to travel to a foreign country, and that is by boat.

In contrast, the Asturias Peninsula is slightly better, and the terrain of the Pyrenees is much better than the Alps of the Apennines. Of course, this one is much better, but it's actually not much better.

In this case, combined with the peninsula's more mountainous and hilly terrain, the peninsula's unique culture and state of being easy to defend and difficult to attack are formed.

In this case, the Asturians enjoyed a rare peace - at least in most cases - and then, that is, if Asturian were to be attacked from the north, the problem arose - that is, the problem of supplies.

Climb over the mountains and supply tens of thousands of troops. Although it is beyond the power of the Republic, the cost is still too great.

What is even more unpleasant is that the republic does not yet have sea supremacy - at least not in the Atlantic. That is, it is impossible to go to Asturias in the south via the Atlantic route.

"Luckily, we have another tactic"

Thinking of this, the archon smiled pleasantly.

Sea supremacy.

If there is any place in the whole republic that has a little bit of sea supremacy, then only the western part of the blue sea remains. It is surrounded by four places: Asturias and Lombardy, the southern part of the Republic, and the Berber state of Morocco in the south.

Among them, the Berbers of the south had dealings with the Republic, and in a sense, after the collapse of the Dark Elves' empire, the Republic and the Berbers became quasi-allies.

Some time ago, the Russian Gothic Empire seemed not satisfied with the arrogance of these pirates plus desert bandits. A corps of levies, together with two Cossack brigades, launched a round of attacks on the Berbers.

This offensive began and ended almost simultaneously with the Empire's war to the south, attacking the Abynesian Empire.

As a result, the empire was able to expand millions of square kilometers of land with ease, almost effortlessly, and although these territories were relatively barren, they were relatively rich in mineral resources, especially oil, underground. As long as it is well developed, then these lands will certainly be able to provide sufficient benefits for the empire.

Of course, at least for now, it's just a matter of hehe.

There are even many people within the empire who are worried about the Visigothic Republic, who also regard the Visigothic Republic as the most formidable enemy in the path of the empire. They feared that the Empire was putting too much money into these newly conquered territories, thus dragging down the country's strength. If you lose the final battle, then there will be nothing left.

William usually laughs at these concerns. What are you kidding, there is no way that would have happened.

This is because the sources of financing for the development of new territories are usually obtained from other sources of external income - that is, external funds.

To be more precise, it is the funds received from the areas currently controlled by the Visigothic Republic. Those who are afraid that the Visigoths will capture and kill their entire families are frantically marching towards the paradise of their minds...... Well, in fact, it wasn't too heavenly for the Russian Gothic Empire to advance. The large amount of money brought with it, as if paying protection money to the empire, was invested in various overseas colonization and development projects.

These can only be regarded as extraneous expenses. So even if it wasn't put into the outer colonies or something, but used to draft girls from all over William to go to Beijing and pop or something, it wouldn't have much impact on the empire.

Well, maybe there's something that affects something. For example, women everywhere are desperately trying to get in, and then it causes a nationwide chaos or something. It's not impossible for this kind of thing to happen......

Basically that's it, after the decision of the parliament, the Visigoths were mobilized as quickly as possible. After that, they cheered loudly. Or for the great cause of liberating all mankind, or for the imminent rush to Asturias, which is rumored to be full of gold and silver jewels.

However, in any case, they were excited, and three legions, more than 50,000 troops, were formed in the shortest possible time, and then launched, marching towards the Pyrenees.

Despite the rugged terrain, it also has a relatively large number of troops. However, they believe that they are all scum and that it is impossible to stop their own progress.

It doesn't matter if they block it. Because in fact, the troops of these three legions are just a decoy, which is placed on the surface to contain them.

In addition, more troops were preparing in the port city of Marseille in the south. The Republic looted a large number of ships that they were able to scavenge, intending to transport nearly 100,000 troops of five legions and more than 300 cannons to the east of Asturias for landing.

Of course, in the process, most of them will have to concentrate their forces on destroying the Asturian naval fleet, which does not seem to be very powerful.

Because he was also not very confident about his own navy, when implementing this strategy, Visigoth pulled in his quasi-ally, the Kingdom of Morocco, which was obsessed with the land of Asturias......
