Section 217 Journey (2)
"Aurora opened up the Balmekia plane in the country?" Solomon looked at the intelligence report, "Well, there is also a Cologne multi-plane?"
In front of Solomon was some information provided by the Ministry of Security, as well as information that the Creation God Company had gathered in passing.
Balmekia is the plane that Aurora invaded following the Saxons' last holy war, where Aurora has steadily occupied a large territory and eliminated a small country of Anriki, and the Saxons have also occupied most of the territory of the Aspinian aristocratic Republic, leaving only the northern military power of the Balmekia plane, the Istrid Empire.
Originally, with the alliance of Aurora and Saxon, it was possible to destroy the Digenian Empire, but due to the death of William, there was a war with Asturias, and after the war, the national strength was damaged, and the north exploited the south in order to make up for it, and there were also contradictions and confrontations in the country, which caused the development of colonies in the different planes to be affected and stagnated.
And Balmekia, as a silver-level plane, has to resist the entire Keos, although it is a mantis arm blocking the car, but against two of them, and these two countries are not able to attack with all their strength, and they will not be completely powerless.
In addition to the Emperor of the Destrian Empire and his four generals struggling to resist the invaders, the ancient superhumans who awakened in the palace of the ice wall in the northernmost part of the empire, known as the existence of Hudoru, also came to help the Destrian Empire fight back.
After that, a stalemate was formed.
The past few years have been even worse, Aurora's governance has been known for its simplicity and brutality among the nations, otherwise it would not have been regarded as a barbarian country before, and the north is wary of the southerners being politically superior. The same is true for the administration of Balmekia. Held by the northerners. On the contrary, the southerners, who are slightly more economically savvy, can only stay in the corners.
In this case, don't expect the Aurora as an invader to be much better for the territory under Balmeikia, the degree of brutality is even worse than that of Titania in Thai Fadel, at least Thai Fadel is still developing towards institutionalization, and the Aurora people have a completely predatory attitude towards the colonial people.
Therefore, Aurora in Balmekia also encountered frequent riots and rebellions later, one after another.
This time, the northern nobles agreed to open the colonies of Balmekia to the southern nobles and commoners. It is also affected by this reason.
However, the Aurora royal family and those nobles in the north are really "stingy", after the southerners obtained part of the ruling power of Balmekia, in just two months, the order there improved slightly, and the people who fled to the mountains returned, and the northerners immediately began to secretly stumble on the south, and finally came to the rescue, that is, to suggest that Balmekia should still be in the hands of the original nobles, and provide the newly obtained heterotopic coordinates to the southerners, and they will open up the wasteland.
This crossing the river and demolishing the bridge was so dismantled that even the Valkyrie Leona couldn't stand it. resolutely asked that she be in charge of military operations, supplemented by southerners.
And then the first battle was successful. Aurora enters the new heterotopic plane of Cologondo, the continent of Falmalik.
It is said that Aurora's army appeared in the vicinity of the war between the two countries of Southern Falmalik, and the Valkyrie Leona was very domineering, and brazenly sent her army to attack the besieging army first, and personally defeated the legendary powerhouse sitting on the other side, defeating the invasion army of the Apuro Empire on the city of Fenian, and then captured the city of Fenian in one go.
Later, the Aurora frantically enslaved the Yamans, first demolishing part of the walls of Phinean City, and then expanding it until it was near the portal where the Aurora appeared, including it and rebuilding its defenses.
Aurora Southerners also entered Cologne, and the final news was that the Apuro Empire was gathering forces in an attempt to attack the city of Fenian.
Solomon closed the information folder and said to Gerra, "What does the cabinet mean?"
"The cabinet is still debating whether to put a foot in it. "Gradaw.
"What do you think?"
"This plane is valuable, and from the few things that have been gathered so far, it is abundant. But it is no less developed than Yugudral, and if we want to open up, I'm afraid we will have to go all out. Guerra carefully voiced her assessment.
"That said, it doesn't have to be for us. Solomon shook his head.
It's not that Colondo is not worthy of Asturias's intervention, but according to Guerra said, Colondo's level of development is at least a silver plane, so that he can draw an evaluation that is not inferior to that of Yugudral.
But although Asturias's current strength is strong enough, there are already a lot of places to maintain, and the demonization of Yugudral's rampant needs manpower; Pharunion has some territory, and it is divided with Titania, if Asturias does not maintain a certain deterrent there, Titania may have some crooked thoughts; Fadell's plane is similar to Pharosion, and it is also divided with Titania; in addition, the underground dark region also needs to maintain sufficient military deterrence, otherwise if the treacherous dark elves see an opportunity, it will be difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidentsAfter all, the Black Rock Plane, which is almost the private plane of Solomon, requires the least amount of investment to maintain.
The native of Kaos, Asturias, has little chance of aligning itself with several other nations, and is regarded by the High Elves as destroyers of the natural order.
So even if Asturias has developed rapidly in recent years, they still try to keep a low profile, there are too many enemies and potential enemies in the open, don't look at Titania now seems to be the best for Asturias, but it can't stand scrutiny at all, purely because the two countries have not torn their faces, and they need each other's markets, and at the same time maintain a relatively friendly relationship, everyone can also invest a little less in the military forces of Fadell and Farucion, but if there is a full-scale confrontation, it is not a good thing for both countries, and it is inevitable to invest more military troops in the homeland and the colonies of the same heterogeneous planeγ
It is therefore not surprising that the Asturian cabinet is arguing, the value of the new heterogeneous is certainly coveted, but it is not necessarily a good thing that Asturias has laid the front by laying the front, and the cabinet members are also supported by parliamentary factions, behind which there are different businessmen or consortia. Their interests and directions of development are also inconsistent in all planes and in their own land. Naturally, when it wants the kingdom to be developed, it gives priority to the areas where it has greater interests.
"And if we just intervene. Probably attracted Titania. Guerra added, and he hesitated for a moment to continue, "This is an analysis based on Titania's recent gestures in favor of Aurora. Titania may tolerate Aurora to open up this resource-rich and valuable xenoplane, but it may not want to fall into our hands, and if we do, it is likely that they will do the same. β
"That's messy enough. Solomon smacked. "But your intelligence analysis is a bit problematic, Titania supports the Aurora royal family, because they don't want to see Aurora have a parliament in power, so if the development of this plane will help the Aurora royal family stabilize its position, they will support it, but if the southerners of Aurora are doing a good job, then their attitude may not be the same. β
"What do you mean?" asked Guerra tentatively.
"I'd also like Asturias not to intervene directly, isn't that the same thing we had planned before, it's just that we haven't been able to get the plane coordinates of Balmekia. But now that Cologne is accessible to all its citizens, it is not difficult for us to get in. I haven't moved for a long time since I left office. So on a trip, I decided to see the place myself. Solomon laughed.
"Do you need any cooperation from our Department of Security?" said Glas.
"No, you don't. Solomon shook his head. "I'll let Murphy arrange it. β
Guerra nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "There's something wrong with Miss Lizi. β
"What's going on?" said Solomon, surprised.
Lizzie had returned to Asturias a few months earlier, and her visit had been a success, both outwardly and covertly.
On the surface, she went to Titanya as an Asturian cultural celebrity, and was given a grand welcome there, and was even invited by the Duke of Alvarez to visit his family castle many times, which was a good way to promote cultural exchanges between the two countries in diplomatic language and played a role in promoting the deep friendship between the two countries.
Secretly, what Solomon wanted her to do had already served her purpose.
Lizzie Bao successfully sold the ambergris cream to the Alvarez family, who were so fond of this baked thing that they had decided to order it in small quantities, and according to Lizzie, when she visited her family's castle, there were also High Elves, probably representatives of the Elves who came to trade on a regular basis from the Emerald Continent.
Naturally, the High Elf also happened to see the ambergris ointment, and showed a strong interest on the spot.
If so, Solomon guessed that it would not be long before the Duke of Alvarez would ask Asturias to buy a large amount of ambergris through Lizzy, much sooner than originally thought.
The reason for this was that Alvarez was anxious to find a stable supply of goods that would interest the High Elves.
As we all know, the Alvarez family has the blood of the Moon Elves, and is one of the few families or forces in the Azure Continent that still maintains trade contacts with the High Elves.
But in the past ten years, due to the sea tribe intercepting the high elf fleet many times at sea, the trade between the high elves and the Alvarez family has also been greatly affected.
In fact, the High Elf representative who was interested in ambergris had come to ask the Alvarez family to suspend trade.
As a result, after seeing the ambergris, the High Elf representative expressed little interest in Alvarez's existing trade goods, but if the Alvarez family could get the ambergris cream to be sold exclusively by his family, he could continue to trade with the Alvarez family alone.
Some people may say that the Alvarez family can't trade with the High Elves, and that the profitable business doesn't have to be maintained with the High Elves.
This has to be seen this way, the above logic is true for other families, but it is much more difficult for Duke Alvarez.
Because they have always been known to be one of the few people who maintain contact with the High Elves, they have always prided themselves on being representatives of high style, and they represent the trend of synchronization with the High Elves.
Over the years, the profits from their trade with the High Elves have actually accounted for only one-third of their business profits, and may decline further. But because of this brand, they can also pretend to be forced when doing other businesses, and when they sell the same goods to others, they claim that they will like it to the High Elves, then they can sell it for half the price.
So they want to lose this sign all of a sudden, and the impact on them is very big.
So they were very anxious after learning that the High Elves were going to suspend trade, but they kept persuading them unsuccessfully, and invited cultural celebrities and enterprises from Asturias to visit Titania, in fact, the Duke of Alvarez also promoted it, in order to see if they could find suitable goods in neighboring countries to satisfy the High Elves.
Anyway, the elves will only recognize them as a channel, and even if others have suitable goods, the High Elves will not bypass them, so Duke Alvarez is not worried about someone stealing business at all.
So, it can be said that Lizzie's sales pitch was unusually successful, but Guerra said that she was a little wrong, which naturally surprised Solomon. (To be continued......)
