Putting aside the question of Li Lin and Charlemagne for the time being, the Secretary-General began to examine the second question.
How much benefit can Albion gain from this joint operation?
Answer:
On the premise that it would not affect Lapland's resistance to the pressure of the United Rus' principality, the strength of the old rival Charlemagne was greatly weakened. At the same time, he obtained a potential ally who could play an important role at a critical moment, planted a trap behind Charlemagne that would explode at some point, and made a lot of gold coins along the way......
There are a lot of gifts, big bags and small bags, but once they are placed together with the third question, it will make people feel worried.
- Can His Majesty the King handle such a potential ally who knows what role he should play and bring long-term strategic dividends to Albion?
Not to mention anything else, just think that one day Li Lin came to meet the great king of Albion, and as a result, Edward IV and this young merchant ordered Li Lin to accompany him. Finally chatting and talking about going to bed and rolling the sheets was enough to make him scratch his head.
This is by no means limited to imagination, and the desire for youth of the romantic and sexually targeted at both men and women is not at all understandable to those of them who are courtiers.
This alone is enough to humiliate the national body and surprise the friendly countries. If the king was overly excited, he had a whim, and demanded an all-out showdown with Charlemagne immediately, or ordered Li Lin to immediately make Charlemagne's back province independent, and other nonsense would be enough for everyone to bear.
The reason for this assumption is a secret known to several important ministers, including him, and the medical corps that has been strictly isolated.
His Majesty the Great Edward IV suffered from the true cause of the disease of inactivity. In fact, it is not the overindulgence that the outside world rumores, but the unspeakable Charlemagne's disease.
The so-called Charlemagne's disease was first prevalent when Charlemagne invaded Castile, hence the name. Because he felt that the disease contracted by this kind of messing around would damage the reputation of the country, Charlemagne called it Castilian disease.
Due to the debauchery of his private life, Edward IV was already covered in spots, mancre, and a large amount of hair loss, which can be said to be in the advanced stage.
The king's affliction of this dishonour must not be leaked to the outside world, and the important ministers kept the news tightly sealed. On the one hand, I hope that the mercury therapy advocated by the imperial doctors of the medical team will be effective. Edward IV, who had endured the pain, continued to weaken, and his irrational words and deeds became more and more, according to the imperial doctors, this was a symptom that the disease had invaded the cerebral marrow, and it was not far from the end of becoming a waste and then dying.
No matter how much he didn't want the reasonably capable king to die a painful death in an incurable disease, Walsingham also realized that it was time to choose a suitable successor for the country, and look around the members of the royal family who could inherit the throne...... The Secretary-General is in addition to a headache or a headache.
Except for Edward IV and his heirs. Ben still has six royal families to inherit the throne, but in the struggle for the throne. They either died in murder or an accident, or were framed and deprived of their succession to the throne. His Majesty also had many children in his early years, but most of them died of illness. Later, he was keen to collect cute boys, so that no new royal heir would be born.
Today, only two daughters can inherit the throne - the first queen daughter, Mary Windsor, and the second queen daughter, Elizabeth Windsor.
Among them, Her Royal Highness Mary had a marriage contract with Philip, the only son of the King of Castile, so most courtiers were not happy to see an additional title on the head of a Castilian royal family, so the call for the first daughter to succeed to the throne has been declining.
Her Royal Highness Elizabeth is only 13 years old. There are still three years left before the coming-of-age ceremony, assuming that during these three years, Edward IV is called by the grace of the Mother. Albion was compelled to put an underage girl on the throne, and there was no guarantee that such an act would not invite foreign countries, especially Charlemagne, to intervene in the country in a state of chaos under the pretext that the young lady was not in accordance with traditional etiquette.
So, now this time. The plan proposed by Li Lin and V.E to disrupt Charlemagne was a blessing to Walsingham. As long as Charlemagne himself is in deep crisis. Naturally, there is no way to intervene in other countries. Other nations were either distracted by Charlemagne's chaos, or they were unable to survive because of their own difficult circumstances. As a result, Albion could use this golden window to arrange matters such as the death of His Majesty Edward and the ascension of the new monarch to the throne. When Yiqiē is on the right track, no one will be able to come to Albion to muddy the waters.
The core basis of this calculation depends on Li Lin's plan, on whether the plan is successful or not. Is the alliance between him and Albion strong enough......
went around in a big circle, and in the end, it turned out to be Li Lin. Walsingham sighed heavily, this time for his old rival Richelieu. With a wolf lurking around him and unaware of it, the cardinal's future looks like he's going to have a hard time.
After a sigh of nothingness, Walsingham pulled out a blank piece of parchment and wrote with a stiff quill brush dipped in squid ink. There are some things that need to be explained to the intended heir to the throne first......

The Swabian Proving Ground is a weapon test base under the General Armament Department, where various types of weapons must be subjected to the most brutal destruction, elimination, and improvement before deciding whether to put into mass production and service.
It was learned that today the Supreme Commander will come to inspect the work and investigate the progress of research on new types of weapons. The entire base was boiling, and as the first unit to be inspected after Li Lin was promoted to colonel, most of the staff in the base changed into brand-new military uniforms, straightened their waists and waited for Li Lin's review.
“...... So, that's what you guys ended up with?"
Li Lin, who was regarded as a hungry wolf by Walsingham on the other side of the sea, was looking at the latest masterpiece of the General Armament Department, and contrary to his subordinates who were full of morale and confidence, Li Lin did not seem to be interested in the new prototype weapons that had been manufactured after scientific demonstration, multi-faceted discussion, careful study, and strict control.
"We call this one"
Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Polscher rubbed his unwashed trousers excitedly, and the young man bent on designing a terrifying weapon nodded, adding to his boss:
"Unit Zero blew itself up during trial operation, but fortunately there were no casualties, and we are studying the cause of the accident and improving it on this basis. ”
PS: Guess the small theater
Li Lin: Maybe yesterday readers were too busy to participate in the prize competition, so today we will postpone yesterday's question and present it together with today's question.
Nidhogg: Yesterday's topic was 1: What is the so-called Konzern Hint: Monopoly?2. Who is the prototype of Cardinal Richelieu and Mette Pinch Foreign Minister? Hint: Gallic chicken and Sissi, Strauss's family
Li Lin: Today's questions are: 1. What is the so-called Charlemagne's disease? Hint: Caused by spirochet, it will produce chancre in the lower body 2. Who is the prototype of Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Polscher? Hint: Tiger P and Elephant Expelling Chariot Daddy.
