The end of the war is like a cocktail mixed with passion, joy, sadness, sigh, sweetness, bitterness and other emotions, and the warring parties have to finally drink the liquor of different ingredients and proportions in front of them, think about the bits and pieces of the war, recall the dead and still alive faces, and finally let out a sigh of "the war is over". Looking at this surface alone, one may think that the war is fair to both sides, but one should not forget that momentary feelings and long sighs do not affect the victor's pleasure in biting the body of the vanquished.

—Tristan, "War Memoirs."

The battle on the Rhine front is over, Charlemagne's last main force has fallen, and the destruction of the country is not far off. To everyone's surprise, the Yalfheim Defence Forces, which had always been quick to act, did nothing. The elven army had remained in the garrison with no sign of further action.

What the hell was the dictator thinking, and what was he planning

Everyone was speculating nervously about the idea of the Divine Will Agent, and almost every hour a new version appeared, with some brain-opening, some suspicious, some unscrupulous, and even more scared of themselves.

- Pointed Ears are preparing to occupy it, they have never occupied such a large area, and they don't know what to do for a while.

It's a slightly masochistic and self-mocking speculation, and most people react with a wry smile - think on your knees and know that the pointy-eared people have been preparing for this war for nearly a thousand years, and how could they not think about how to covet the land they have coveted for a long time.

- The Sharp-Eared are building the Forced Labor Camp and the Dispatch Train, and they intend to send all Charlemagnes to work in the Forced Labor Camp to work until they die.

It's still very close to part of the truth, but as long as you use your brain, anyone will ask: "Then they left a large area of Charlemagne's land with long grass?"

This kind of thing, which obviously does not conform to the principle of efficiency and does half the work, is also not like what Alfheim can do.

- The pointy-eared ghost beast is preparing to kill all the Charlemagne, and the reason why they have not moved for a long time is because they are mobilizing their troops and deploying them in order not to let a single Charlemagne escape.

This is pure intimidation. This is not hundreds of years ago, after conquering the city, there will inevitably be a bloody and brutal massacre. Besides, it is better to eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled, and to say that it is necessary to lack the heart and eyes to do such a stupid thing as killing all the important labor force, and this kind of rumor can not even deceive a few middle school students except to scare the old and weak women and children.

The Defence Forces were indeed preparing for the occupation, and they were not prepared to act rashly until several issues had been resolved.

"War is, in the final analysis, a continuation of politics, and any military action is premised on achieving political objectives. ”

Leaving a beautiful flower character under the document, Li Lin leaned on the back of the chair and smiled leisurely:

In other words, there are countless political calculations behind the seemingly simple occupation. How to ensure that our interests are maximized is the main premise, and the most important issue is to carry out the occupation as smoothly as possible on this basis. ”

It is clear to everyone that Charlemagne has been completely put down, and after witnessing the dictator's strong combat power on the Rhine front, all unrealistic ideas have disappeared, and even the most daring and crazy people dare not challenge the international status of Alfheim, let alone provoke His Excellency the dictator.

So at this time, there is no need to play any geostrategic balance, and naturally there will be no bloody plot of chopping yourself up to feed others.

That being said, it is still possible to do things such as laying piles, burying nails, and mixing sand.

For example, using the bait of dividing and occupying Charlemagne, the United Principality of Rus' and the Kingdom of Albion are played between the United Principality of Rus' and the Kingdom of Albion.

"The Ambassadors of the United Principality of Ross and Albion have conveyed to us the intention of the two Governments, and they have agreed to the partition proposed by our country. ”

It was the official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who stood up to answer, and judging from his expression of suppressed excitement and trying to maintain a professional smile, the ambassadors of various countries have probably spared no effort to curry favor with the diplomatic officials of Alfheim in the past few days, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is always a dwarf, has finally enjoyed a good life with a straight back.

For a long time, Alfheim existed as a "shadow state" similar to an underground secret society, and those so-called "allies" basically regarded them as an underground force that could be used, similar to the existence of smugglers, bandits and pirates. Even after Alfheim announced his independence from Charlemagne, few countries were optimistic about them. It was only after the war turned in a clear favor of Alfheim that their attitude changed. By the end of the Battle of the Rhine, the ambassadors of various countries almost wanted to crawl over and lick their palms.

It is certainly good to be able to get the attitude right, but it would be naïve to think that the great powers that have been immersed in the black machinations for hundreds of years have changed their sexuality overnight. Whether it is the duchy or Albion, there is no shortage of cases in the history of these two countries that temporarily disguised themselves as submissive, and then waited for the conquerors to let down their guard and then devoured them. So no matter how subservient they behave, the necessary precautions must be missing.

Of course, the precautionary measures referred to here refer only to political means. It is not difficult to suppress the nations with military force, especially the power of the dictator, but it also means that there will be no retreat from the nations, and they will show unprecedented ferocity and madness, and the war will never end until the last Albion and orcs have fallen.

It is not impossible to achieve this point, but this is also equivalent to announcing that the efforts of the previous ten years or so have been in vain, and that it will end like this anyway, wouldn't it be good to do it in the first place? Why waste so much time? Take 10,000 steps back, even if Li Lin doesn't care about wasting time and energy, and it turns into such a war situation, it almost means that all the civilizations established by the intelligent species on the surface of the earth will be destroyed, and the ecosystem will be on the verge of destruction. At that time, the adults at the top will not give a good look to the guys who are doing things below, and those big people who only care about the results will never understand how hard the middle management and the grassroots work.

In order not to end up in such stupidity and madness, we can only cooperate with the stupidity of humans and orcs and continue to play a political game called "balance and containment".
