Balancing power is one of the essential basic skills of politicians, especially in a country like Albion, which is rich in conspirators and anti-bones, if they can't learn how to compromise and balance the distribution of interests, then the barbarians of the island country will have long been wiped out in a mess of chaotic clan feuds, blood feuds, overnight feuds, and chaotic battles for military and financial inheritance. Don't think it's a joke, the barbarian with the titles of king, lord, and lord is really doing a lot of things like murder for money, killing his father and brother, and taking his wife and sister-in-law. If you don't learn how to balance power and seek the greatest common divisor in each other's interests, not to mention Charlemagne's anger on the other side of the sea for hundreds of years, it is unknown whether it will split into a bunch of vassal states and city-states in various fancy civil strife. At the worst of the situation, the entire island country may be completely divided into villages, and all parties will stage village fights of hundreds or thousands of people every day, and perhaps they may be given the title of "Warring States Period" to commemorate it.

The situation in the United Principality of Rus' was similar, even bloodier than Albion. Those big fluffy bears are very arrogant on the surface, but in fact they are extremely scheming, and they are extremely persistent when it comes to the distribution of interests. Just look at the tsars who died because of the unequal distribution of profits, and you know how crazy the hairy bears can be when it comes to such matters.

Assassination and poisoning were relatively routine, and a bunch of officers rushed into the dormitory, covered the Tsar with pillows, and even dragged the Tsar out to shoot targets, and the most fortunate were those who were "mentally ill" and sent to a psychiatric hospital to recuperate until death - the motive for the above great rebellion was simply that the Tsar was trying to reform the serfdom system and touch the interests of the aristocracy. If there is news that the Tsar's whole family was dragged out to shoot targets one day, everyone should not be too surprised, it is the traditional culture of others.

Even his own tsar "little father" dares to do it, what else can't these guys do?

As far as Li Lin's strength is concerned, there is naturally no need to worry about the feelings and thoughts of these two countries, even if Alfheim swallows Charlemagne alone? Do they dare to have opinions? Do they want to try what Charlemagne's iron fist is like that he has already tasted once? If there is a need for this, there is no need to worry, the dictator will definitely satisfy them.

However, since the tone has been set for resolving international affairs by political means for a long time to come, there is no need to make the appearance too ugly. What's more, there are still a lot of hands and tails to deal with after taking Charlemagne, and the defense forces have limited strength, and if they want to swallow this elephant, it will inevitably hurt their stomachs. Since you can make use of their little contradictions and put a collar on these two beasts, why not?

So there was this speechless partition and occupation agreement.

According to the agreement, Alfheim will occupy most of Charlemagne's territory, and everyone has no opinion on this, after all, it was Alfheim who brought down Charlemagne in the end, and it is natural to take the lion's share. But the rest is intriguing. According to the agreement, Albion would occupy the Giena region, centered on Boudigra, and the United Rus' Duchy would occupy Marseille, Charlemagne's second largest city, and surrounding cities.

At first glance, this is a balanced occupation plan, taking into account the interests of all parties, and at the same time not acting aggressive, many people may think that Alfheim also has such a gentlemanly and generous side, and it is not a country led by God's will, a land favored by God.

Only those who are well versed in geostrategy and international strategy understand what lies behind this seemingly fair partition agreement.

The Giena region was close to the coast, not far from the Brittania region under Albian's control, but in order to retain the newly added territory, Albion had to expand its army accordingly, which would inevitably squeeze the navy's share of the armaments budget and affect its maintenance of a large fleet and overseas colonial system. In addition, as one of the leading naval powers, the large-scale expansion of the army power is bound to arouse the vigilance of the United Rus' Duchy. In the eyes of the Principality, this is a challenge to the Principality's status as a land power, and it is also an indirect threat to the Principality - after all, no matter how much the size of the Albion Army expands, it is still not enough to look at a certain divine will agent and defense army. Then what do you want to do with a naval power and build a continental army?

Similarly, the acquisition of the coveted warm water port and Charlemagne's second largest city was not just a good thing for the United Duchy of Rus'. Whether it's for the sake of face or to keep an outpost that intervenes in the human camp and spies on the elven camp at close range, they must keep the enclave. It is not only necessary to preserve the territory itself, but also to maintain the link between the enclave and the mainland. Considering that the land passage from the Principality mainland to Marseille was completely dominated by the Elven camp, the only way to maintain the sea passage between the enclave and the mainland was to strengthen the naval armament. In this way, it is inevitable to touch the sensitive nerves of Albiang, a naval power......

In the end, the paper-based spoil-sharing agreement was nothing more than digging a hole for the two powers, sowing the seeds of discord between them, with deep-seated structural contradictions that made it difficult for them to unite their forces to form an alliance against Alfheim. There are many bright-eyed and wise men in the top echelons of the two countries, who will not fail to see Alfheim's intentions, but out of the balance of the various interests at hand, they have to swallow this sugar-coated poison.

There is nothing more vicious and clever than this.

Even though a few people may be aware of the conspiracy, they have no choice but to think of a concrete solution for the time being, and the attrition caused by the war forces them to reap the dividends of the war as soon as possible to restart the stagnant economy and appease the people who are increasingly unable to endure poverty. Not to mention that they have more important things to work out.

"The main disagreement between the two countries is the partition of Lüdders, both of them want to expand their own occupation and at the same time oppose the expansion of the occupation of the other side. ”

Officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs resisted the urge to laugh and reported with as serious expressions as possible.

"The envoys of the two countries had a frank and in-depth exchange, smashed a lot of cups and furniture, and several people were hospitalized. ”

"It's understandable, after all, it's Charlemagne's capital, where Charlemagne's wealth and essence are concentrated for hundreds of years, plus a lot of secrets, which is enough to affect the trend of the occupied area in the future. There are so many benefits in front of us, and everyone wants to get a little more. ”

There was a burst of mocking laughter and applause in the room, and many civil and military officials echoed the dictator's dry humor.
