Chapter 792: Talking on paper (12)
For hundreds of years, the Southwest Continent of the Innocence has been the most stable and complex compared to other continents. It is said to be stable because this continent The main forces in the region, namely the Silver Alliance, the Dreamland Theocracy, the Adolf Free Territory, the Griffin Dynasty, the Palmyra Free Trade Zone and the Chauvin Empire, have always maintained a tacit understanding, although there will always be some inevitable minor disputes in various fields. The degree and scale of friction have been very well controlled. All foreign aggression has been controlled within a relatively harmless range. There has never been any drama such as the overthrow of the kingdom internally, and nothing has been done to other countries. There are decent opportunities to take advantage of, and everything is prosperous on the surface.
The reason why it is complicated is that, except for the Griffin Dynasty itself, the other five forces are extremely wary of it because this country is too powerful, even though the total area is less than Two-thirds of the Silver Alliance, and its domestic political system is bloated and decadent, but its comprehensive strength is still the undisputed leader in the southwest, and whether it is the emperors of the past, or those who are not very cooperative with the royal family in most cases Regardless of the great nobles, they have never failed to improve the country's combat power.
That’s right, it’s just about combat power. Compared with its neighbors who always adhere to the concept of comprehensive development, the development of the Griffin Dynasty in the fields of economy, trade, internal affairs and other fields is not very satisfactory. Their only In fact, the only thing that can be used is military power.
The reason is very simple, that is, the division of forces within this empire is too complicated. There are games between the royal family and the nobles, secret fights between nobles and nobles, open fights between factions, The confrontation between aristocratic families and wealthy families is taking place almost every minute, and in this case, everyone, including Chiwetel Logan, known as the "Blood Lion Emperor", holds chips in their hands. None of the leaders dared to relax at all.
To sum up, in this empire, even a small viscount, as long as his/her brain is not completely broken, will arm the meager combat power to the teeth, even if it is just for self-protection.
In most cases, they don’t actually see anything outside Griffin’s ruling area at all, because everyone knows very well that instead of worrying about the mysterious dragon of the Silver Alliance, it is more important to worry about it. The leader of the alliance, the current Archduke Adolf, who is working hard to govern, will William Bohe, the 'merchant king' who runs the chauvinistic empire in an orderly manner, the consul of the Palmyra Free Trade Zone who dares to do business with anyone, or the unfathomable patriarch of the Dreamland Theocracy, those who bow to themselves every day The people who don't look up when you see them are the ones worth worrying about the most.
Everyone who is qualified to breathe the air in the upper echelons of the Griffin Dynasty is walking on thin ice, fearing that they will be doomed by the butcher's knife of their own people because of some mistake.
This is not the so-called internal worry, but a trend that has become a system and a rule. The Griffin Dynasty, an ancient empire that once almost unified the entire southwest and once had unlimited glory, has been gradually brewing for thousands of years. .
If you are unwilling to give up everything your ancestors have and have accumulated, and do not want to be a stepping stone for others, supporting troops and self-respect is a basic skill that every player in the game must do well, including their emperor. Inside.
Therefore, since six hundred years ago, the Griffin Dynasty has always maintained nine standing main legions that only take orders from the royal family, as well as seven mixed legions supported by several super-large-scale forces, plus those that are completely used With money and resources poured into the Guards, Lords' Army, Autonomous Army, Private Army, and countless mercenary groups with various labels, Griffin's country's combat effectiveness has always been frighteningly strong.
In this case, other forces that are its neighbors are naturally on tenterhooks and dare not relax their vigilance against this old lion at all times.
You must know that no matter how chaotic they are inside, they are still 'Griffins' when they go outside. Even if the reason why they have soldiers and self-respect is never to attack themselves, the 'soldiers' are still soldiers. When the war breaks out, there is no need to even think about who the combat forces originally mobilized to deal with themselves will raise weapons against.
I have to guard against it!
To give a simple example, let’s say there is a couple who are at odds with each other living opposite your house. They are always quarreling all day long. Not only that, they often buy some weird things and put them at home. Monday The man went out and bought a Sandhawk, the woman bought two heavy snipers online on Tuesday, and the man bought a second-hand AKM on Wednesday. On Thursday, the woman dragged back an eight-star and eight-diamond Gatling from her parents' home. On Friday, the man turned on the radio when he came home from get off work. On Saturday, the woman cried in the corridor while calling for armed satellite support. On Sunday The two seemed to have reconciled, but you found out that one of them ordered a takeaway called 'Uranium Croquettes'. Are you panicking about this? Are you afraid?
Even if you know that the two of them usually quarrel behind closed doors, if one day there is a quarrel between neighbors, who can guarantee that the couple will not directly kill you with a Gundam and an armed satellite?
So from the Silver Alliance, which is the largest and most comprehensive force in the southwest continent, to the Chauvin Empire, which is still in development, it is not very good in all aspects except the economic aspect. In this small country, there is no one who is not wary of the Griffin Dynasty.
What's more, this empire is not a good one in the first place. From the day the Griffin Dynasty was established thousands of years ago, the history of their country has been a history of wars. The small and medium-sized forces that have been annexed by it are almost all It is as large as the combined area of the Dreamland Theocracy and Adolf's Free Territory, and the Silver Alliance, which is now the strongest comprehensive strength in the Southwest Continent, is formed by the joint efforts of those small countries that were originally in panic.
It can be seen that it is not an exaggeration at all for other forces to be so wary of the Griffin dynasty, which has not made much war in the past century. It is even considered conservative.
Rather than wasting a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to guard against the Griffins for hundreds of years, including a small country with almost no competitiveness like the Chauvin Empire, these forces in the Southwest Continent all hope that the Griffin Dynasty will fall apart.
After all, judging from the latter's national conditions, this should be a matter of time.
“If nothing happens, that country will one day split under various internal and external pressures and become dozens of large and small forces. By then, the situation in the Southwest Continent will be completely chaotic. , and this is exactly what we want to see, and I think it is also what those in the Silver Alliance and Adolf Free Leader want to see."
Lamorlock blinked at Carter in front of him, spread his hands and said, "And. This kind of result is the last thing the Griffin royal family wants to see. After all, no matter how the empire will be divided in the end, the Logan family as the flag will never be spared. They will die in the initial chaos. The scum. There won’t be even a handful left~”
High Priest Carter nodded, and then said in confusion: “But sir, all this has nothing to do with the fact that Her Highness Elisa deliberately let go of the assassination of Arthur Bohe. What does it have to do with the murderer?”
“Of course it does”
Lamorlock smiled proudly, wagging his fingers and said: "Didn't I just say that she wants to trigger a conflict between the Griffin Dynasty and all the forces in the Southwest Continent? The reason is that she naturally wants to trigger a conflict like this. The largest war in the world in hundreds of years.”
Through observation, we can see that Carter, who could barely keep up with Lamorlock’s thoughts, was finally completely confused.
“Think about it, if something were to happen to the Griffin Dynasty, nothing would solve the problem better than a massive, protracted war led by the royal family themselves.”
Lamorlock looked at Carter with a smile and explained patiently: "Staying alive until splitting may give opportunities to those nobles and factions, but as the royal family, the Logan family will inevitably become victims, even if Gerry Fortunately, Fen didn't split up. Being extremely weak and being attacked by other forces that thought the time was right would not end well, so..."
"They plan to take the initiative and start a war?"
< br>
Carter guessed the second half of Lamorlock's sentence, but became more and more confused. "It's not as simple as you think. It's easy to start a war, but it's difficult to stop it."
Lamorlock raised his eyebrows and shrugged: "So if I You guessed it right, Her Royal Highness Eliza Logan's idea should be to show weakness to the enemy and let other forces besides the Silver Alliance attack them first. This would at least leave some room for moral leeway, just like before. That is equivalent to a county given to me. I think that is part of Her Royal Highness Eliza's layout. Ha, you don't think that I really only sent everyone, including prisoners and most civilians, out of personal preference. They were all slaughtered, right?”
A drop of cold sweat slid down Carter’s forehead, that’s what he had really thought before.
“It’s just a trivial temptation.”
Perhaps because Carter's reaction was too boring, Lamorlock also seemed a little uninterested, so he did not continue the analysis and just said lightly: "Let's just talk about the conclusion. In my opinion, even though this matter is not from Iraq. Lisa Logan's handwriting, but she has already begun to use the death of Arthur Boho to make an issue. If you want to try If I make a guess, I think the future development will probably be like this."
When he said this, he paused slightly, then stood up slowly, his eyes suddenly turned cold——
< br>"First, after feeding back the news of Arthur Boho's death to the Chauvinian Empire, delay as much time as possible, Transfer all the royal regiments located in the southern border of Griffin, and while showing sincerity, quietly put some small noble forces in front."
"Second, when the murderer of Arthur Bohe escaped. After being exposed, he practiced Tai Chi in front of the aggressive chauvinist empire and presented all kinds of real or false evidence to clear up the case. His relationship is for other forces to see."
"Third, the merchant king who lost his only son began to fight back, and Griffin was forced to fight. Oh, be careful here. Forced is not really forced. Even if there are a lot of people who really don’t understand the situation, it’s not that many.”
"Fourth, destroy the Chauvin Empire at lightning speed, and in the process split its own forces located in the east and north, that is, the Griffin 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th legions. Give us The Dreamland Theocracy and the Free Leader of Adolf can take advantage of this opportunity."
"Fifth, it is unbearable. The Tempted Theocracy and the Adolf Free Territory joined the war. At the same time, the Silver Alliance began to prepare its combat power, and the Griffin Dynasty began a three-front battle."
"Sixth, give up about one-third of the northwest of Griffin. One territory, compressing the combat space and minimizing the risk of being attacked from both front and back, the royal family The main force under his command moved towards the Lake Nismont area, and the Logan family defended the royal capital of Brorid. The all-out war began, and the noble forces were forced to participate in the war."
"Seventh, the Blood Lion Emperor used his special authority during the war. , obtain command of all combat forces throughout Griffin, lead or The nobles who had been more or less damaged began to fight back, and the royal legions who secretly exchanged blood returned in two batches. "
"Eighth, in the stalemate stage, the inherent advantages of the Griffin Dynasty were revealed. The battle losses between The Theocracy and Adolf's Free Territory began to increase rapidly. ”
"Ninth, the pressure from the Theocracy and Adolf's Free Territory, which gradually began to be unbearable, was increasing day by day. Griffin's nobles who were forcibly dragged onto the battlefield worked with the royal family to stabilize the situation, but after gaining a breather, they also began to He made his own little plan."
"Tenth, the Blood Lion Emperor in the name of Emperor Griffin. Take the lead in launching peace talks, and promise to provide a large number of benefits that the Theocracy and the Free Territory cannot win through war. At the same time, they will exempt the Palmyra Free Trade Zone, which is destined to provide economic and material support to the 'Allied Forces', from tariffs for several years, and then cede it to the Silver Alliance. If you hit the ground, this battle will basically be unwinnable."
"Finally, the war is over. In a short period of time, the Logan family will launch a bloody purge of the already severely weakened nobles in the country, completely eradicating the hidden dangers that have existed in this country for thousands of years."
Lamorlock winked at Carter. Wan Er said: "Of course, this is just my one-sided statement, and it is still a complete talk on paper. , when that time comes, it would be good to have one-tenth of the accuracy of what I just speculated, so you don’t have to take it seriously.”
But Lamorlock has already been shocked. Carter, the high-ranking priest who was sweating coldly, bowed down with sincerity and said in admiration: "My lord, you have learned from this!"
"It's just talk on paper. It won't be interesting if you take it too seriously."
Lamorlock smiled indifferently, then cast his eyes on the second scroll on the table, and said leisurely: " Read this report to me again. Although the Northeastern Diocese may not be able to save him unless something unexpected happens, I am still very curious about how the chess player Sumir made his move.”
"Yes, sir."
Carter responded respectfully, then picked up the intelligence from the north and erased the fire paint on it
"Currently, the person responsible for polluting the Holy Mountain Su The northeastern parish of Mir is still accumulating troops, and the two main forces are stationary at Snow Dove Hill and Chuixue Peak.”
"Well, they are dead, then what?"
