The war spread rapidly, and at first it was limited to the buffer zone of the original alliance, but gradually even the local countries of the central line of the alliance were ignited.
As Heinz expected, the league's top leaders were very satisfied with the one-to-seven-five battle loss rate, so they finally decided to rotate the corps and train on the battlefield in batches.
There is no strange voice in the alliance at this moment. No one can beat the war like this except Leach; even if you have a team of staff that is efficient, it is impossible to handle so many messages at the same time.
The alliance's army entered the hinterland of the alliance has thousands of small squads, and the opponent's knights are millions, that is, hundreds of thousands of small squads, not to mention a larger number of troops, composed of ordinary soldiers.
If all the movements of these troops are recorded on paper, the records will be piled higher than those of the people every hour
The one who knows best this is the staff team that commanded him during the resting time
At first there was only one staff group, but later I found that this was not good. They could not support the heavy command work at all, so they later added two staff groups and rotated one hour.
Even so, when the staff team is in charge of command, the combat loss rate is still much higher than when Leach is in charge of command.
Because of this, Leach can only sleep for four hours a day now, and must be careful when eating, and does not even have time to go to the bathroom.
Such a terrifying tactic, the Alliance's central line troops fell on the brink of collapse in just ten days. At this moment, there was no road available behind the central line. More than 90% of the bridges were blown up, and the second-line corps were seriously damaged, so the Alliance did not dare to deploy troops smaller than the brigade in the field.
At this moment, all the officers at the Alliance Front Command were in a state of turmoil, and the rear staff headquarters were not much better.
Although Heinz and his men were sure that the alliance could not take the opportunity to attack in full swing, he had nothing to say when the war was so ugly that he had nothing to say
However, this terrifying tactic also caused the alliance to collapse.
The main reason is that the reconnaissance squads on the front line can no longer support this tactic and rely entirely on the accurate and unified command of intelligence to create such brilliant results; as the commander, Leach, there are still people who can replace it, but those reconnaissance squads have nothing to replace. They can only take a nap in the battlefield filled with smoke while they are a little calm. After ten days, they have reached the limit.
In addition, the communicator in the command center is not good at all. The part responsible for logistics support is almost falling down.
All this was not expected in advance
Because of this series of problems, starting from the eleventh day, the harassment war entered a state of slowing pace.
However, for Leach, the real key is that the Western Front is progressing very smoothly. The 250,000 desert vanguard troops have been inserted into the gap in the left wing of the Western Front. Now, as long as the hundreds of thousands of Rosotto troops are willing to cooperate, the surrounding alliance Western Front troops can definitely be eaten in turn.
Since the strategic goal has been achieved, Lichi doesn't want to continue to stimulate the Franza people... In the past ten days, he finally has the opportunity to take a breath.
Leach was busy handing over the morning with the staff team, so he didn't have to sit all day long; like during the previous exercise, the staff team would discuss how to fight.
It was already twelve o'clock when everything was handed over, and Leach hurried to the restaurant
The restaurants at the front line command center are very large and clearly divided. Leach went to a small restaurant specially prepared for senior generals of his classmates.
When he arrived, there were already many people inside. Litch saw Carlos and Annelia standing in the same corner.
When he sees others, others will naturally see him too.
Congratulations, you let us see what the real war is
Carlos came over immediately
A little worse than I thought
Leach was modest, but he immediately noticed that Carlos's face twitched slightly, and the expressions of the other generals also changed.
If I still think this kind of command is bad, I really can't imagine what a perfect command is like
Carlos said helplessly
Unfortunately, we do not have the technology that can replace the intelligent brain. If we want to contact the front line, we must go through those who are in the chanter command. After all, there are limited people. One person has to deal with more than a dozen teams, so it is always a bit delayed.
Leach talked about the shortcomings before the exercise was mobilized at most several legions, and most of them were unilaterally ordered, so the problem of communication and communication was not obvious; this time the situation on both sides changed rapidly, and often the orders were still being issued to a certain team, and another team had discovered the situation, so the communications on both sides were often blocked.
Take your time after the war is over
Carlos is more lovable, and he is more realistic
While the two were talking, a servant came over with a dinner plate.
The Omore army implemented a food order system, even the high-end general restaurants were the same. There was no choice at all, and it was completely different from when I was in Monstock.
When he walked to the place where Carlos was sitting, Leach found a seat and saw the uncle walking in as soon as he sat down.
The uncle also saw Liqi at first sight
Congratulations, and create another classic
Uncle said something a bit stupid
Leach was confused all of a sudden
Annelia quickly explained: The combat records in the past few days have been sealed, and after the war is over, it will be used as a textbook for military teaching, so Max said you have created a classic.
Leach then understood, and at the same time he also understood why the uncle said, "He knew that Capelec's defense battle had been determined as a teaching case, and the same was true for the Western Front Raid. Both battles were related to him. The former was just a participant and the relationship was not close, but the latter was the nominal supreme commander.
Now, Leach no longer cares about his reputation in this regard what he is thinking about after the war. In the era of peace, a peerless general seems to have nothing else to do except stay in the military academy for research.
This is nothing. As long as you can connect with those smart brains, anyone can do as good as me
Leach is humble again
His modesty is a sigh
That's right, everyone knows that as long as the brain and the intelligent brain can be connected together, they can have that kind of processing ability. The problem is that no one except Leach has this kind of connection ability, so everyone can only be envious, jealous, and can only sigh beside them.
If it were the past, everyone could have sighed that fate was unfair, but now even this kind of sigh is saved. Everyone knows that Leach is a pure-blooded knight test body
By the way, I did have some insights when commanding the battle, but I just don’t know how to integrate into martial arts.
Leach wants to listen to the uncle's opinion
The uncle was stunned for a moment. If it were someone else, he could give some advice, but Leach's command method was obviously not something that humans could achieve. Throughout history, there has been no famous general like him, and none of the experiences of those who have learned the true meaning of power from military command can be applied to Leach's head.
Seeing the sword saint Max feel embarrassed, Annelia quickly rescued the situation: Everything is going well here now, but the harassment battle here is to cover the Western Front. There are some problems with the Western Front now, do you know?
What's the problem?
Leach really didn't know that all his attention was on commanding the battle for the past ten days, and he didn't have a moment of free time in his mind.
Rosotho hopes to recapture Bartoril as soon as possible
Annelia throws the puzzle to attract Leach's attention
Open up Bartoril and let Quinta Gumgante all the countries fight to the death? There is now a concentrated all the elites on the Western Front of the Alliance, so what if they are connected? Let the Rosotho army withdraw? Then they watch the show next to them? Or make trouble in the rear?
Leach is no longer a layman who knew nothing about military affairs. Although he is a famous general, he still understands some basic things.
Jiali started from the left wing of the Alliance, and actually used a method of making a big move: pry up one end of the encirclement, so that the army surrounded by groups could have some room for activity, and then cooperate with the inside and outside to eat the alliance army in turn.
He could understand the intentions. It was impossible for Rosotto to have so many senior staff members to understand. But the Rosotto asked to get through Bartoril first. There was only one possibility: the Rosotto kept the evil intentions.
You're very direct
Annelia doesn't want to say anything more about the grudge between Monstock and Rosotho. She had the heart to mediate at the beginning, but now she is no longer interested.
Now Jiali is the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, and everything should be followed by Jiali. I even think that the besieged Rosotto army should also obey Jiali's dispatch.
Leach said slowly, he didn't think this would be possible, he just said it casually
He also believed that those besieged troops would never stand by when they saw a glimmer of hope; out of instinct, they would definitely seek a way out themselves, and this must be Jiali's true intention.
What he unexpectedly expected was that as soon as he finished speaking, a person suddenly emerged from the side.
This man looked in his thirties, tall and burly, with a beard all over his face, his eyes as big as a copper bell. He pointed at Leach with one hand and shouted loudly in his mouth.
This person speaks Rosotho, and most of the people who shout in his mouth are scolding and insults.
Leach is not a person who can't help but scold him, his face slams
Are there Rosottos here?
This is definitely asking, and it even brings some scent to find fault
Although this is the mid-line battlefield, allied powers like Rosotto will definitely have knights in various countries. At the beginning, there were many knights fighting on the mid-line battlefield in Monstock.
However, this person was not a reinforcement sent by Rosotto to the middle line, but a front-line observer also had observers from Parkington, Omore and Capecchi on the Western Front.
Most of these people have no status or power, but countries are more polite to them for the sake of the sending countries, so this guy can appear in a restaurant dedicated to high-end generals.
After all, our Rosotto Empire is one of the best powers in the world today. Where can you slander it?
The observer pointed his finger at Leach's nose and shouted
Where did I slander? The situation on the Western Front is very obvious. Just find a few staff members who just came out of the military academy to deduce it, and you will find out which approach is correct. As you said just now, Rosotto is one of the best powers, and it is impossible that he can't even see which one is correct. Apart from other intentions, is there any other explanation?
Leach slammed the table and stood up, he did not give in.
It is not the first time that Leach and the Rosotto deal with people. He is very clear that once he gives in to the people of this country, the other party will not appreciate it, and will not stop at the right time. He will only continue to tangle again and again.
The situation on the Western Front is not good now, and people sacrifice every day, which is something that people in the rear cannot understand...
The observer waved his fist excitedly
Leach interrupted him directly: Of course I know that Monstock had experienced the same thing, and we were even more desperate at that time, because no one could rescue us at all. You were already lucky. When the league was at its most powerful attack, the Western Front raid began, and soon rescued you. Now you were wrong and all fell into it. But someone rescued them immediately. It was said that the deadline was the end of this month, but in order to save a few fewer people, we advanced the time; and for the sake of safety there, we used force against the Franza people without being fully prepared, and many people have been sacrificed for this. What else do you want?
Leach said everything in his heart in one breath
He was very skillful when he said this, and pulled Omore and Capecchi in in a sense, the battles over the past ten days were indeed bleed and sacrificed for the Western Front.
Being sent as an observer must be a good person, so naturally I know that Leach's words are hard to answer
First of all, on which of the two combat plans is more clever, it is impossible for him to argue with Leach whether it is Leach or Jiali, they are both famous figures in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Although the Rosotto Empire also has several famous generals, they are all ranked very low, let alone him.
Secondly, Leach brought the people present in, which is another fearful place.
What I am worried about is nothing else, but in despair, the army may do something crazy. If they think they have been abandoned, they may want to rely on their own strength to save themselves. At that time, they may do things such as seizing command of the Western Front.
The observer simply used threatening means
Of course, Leach understood what this person meant. The alliance had already set a similar example. It is hard to say whether the Rosottos would follow suit. They raided the Allied Command and forced the command power.
Despair can make people do stupid things, and anger is the same as this kind of accidental situation, which is difficult to use as a reason. Why don’t you say that the alliance may lose its rationality and send a saint-level powerful man to assassinate your Emperor?
Leach is also unceremonious, anyone can threaten such things
But those who hear this feel completely different
That observer's words are more like a threat to the alliance, but they are different from the alliance. Rosotto is not Franza. If the Rosotto dares to do this, they will inevitably face the anger of several other major powers in the alliance. Rosotto can't bear all this... On the contrary, Licci's words do not seem to be a threat. He has a criminal record. He once assassinated former President Arno. Because of this, in the evaluation of various countries, he always has the title of dangerous elements on his head, and not to mention that he does have this ability.
Now, no one would doubt Leach can reach the holy level, and no one would doubt that he could create a war armor comparable to Thor. The combination of the two means invincibility. If he explicitly said that he would kill Nicholas IV, Nicholas IV would probably not even sleep.
The observer also felt a dilemma, but at this moment everyone around him realized that they were not allowed to have accidents at such sensitive moments, so several senior generals dragged and pulled the guy out at once.
The troublemakers were finally driven away, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was still extremely depressing
Your current status is no longer as good as before, so you shouldn't say such words casually
Annelia reminded embarrassedly that she was really doing it for Leach's good this time
Rosotto is no longer the second most powerful country before
Leach is the least willing to give in, especially Annelia's reminder just now, which made him feel like his mother was teaching him a lesson before.
Even if Rosotto is not the second strong country, it should be fine to rank third, right?
Annelia said this, but she was already looking for a step
Unfortunately, Leach doesn't appreciate it
Even if the comprehensive strength ranks third, it is not a big deal. I studied Rosotto's economic structure and found that they had a fatal weakness. I had no intention of manipulating the economy to retaliate against Rosotto, but if they forced me to take this step, they would find that there was no need for force or political means, and it would not take too long. In just ten or twenty years, I could turn this arrogant country into a second-rate poor country.
This argument is much scarier than his threat just now
Everyone in the restaurant looked at Leach in surprise. If it were someone else who said this, everyone would say it as a crazy word; but this was from Leach's mouth and the weight was completely different.
Let me tell you, what tricks do you have?
Annelia simply didn't stop her, she was interested in what Leach wanted to do.
Leach was furious by the guy just now, and at the same time he was a little worried about the threat of that person.
After eating, calming himself down, Liqi thought that it was necessary to shock the Rosothos; those guys bully the weak and fear the strong, and if they felt threatened, they would compromise.
In fact, there is no need to do too much trouble. The material sharing system I am planning to form can make the Rosotho people unable to eat. Rosotho has the largest population in the world today. Although their land is fertile, it is frozen all year round and only has four months of planting period a year, so their food depends on imports. This is their most fatal weakness.
There was an unusually sinister smile on Leach's face. Since it was to make people feel scared, it was obviously necessary to pretend to be a bad guy.
The Rosothos could afford food because they were rich in resources. There were a lot of minerals under the frozen soil and dense forests on the ground, all with the best wood. But the Rosothos were very smart. They did not sell raw materials, but made raw materials into industrial products and exported, so that they could make the most money with the least resources, and also raise a large number of workers and engineers.
Leach is not stingy in praise of the Rosothos, and it is not without reason to be one of the best powers in the world.
Unfortunately, rich resources also create a fatal weakness: the machines they make are very rough and I can make light, agile and cheap machinery. As long as I want, I can make all the machines made by the Rosotho people outdated and completely lose the market. In this way, they have to rely on exporting resources to exchange for what they need. Mineral resources and wood are not only available, nor are they completely irreplaceable. What they need is food. They also need cotton, meat, and wool. These are necessary items in daily life. Even if they don’t want to import, they can’t do it. I just need to raise the prices of these items and suppress the prices of mineral resources... Humph
Leach's sneer made everyone present feel cold in their hearts
No one thinks he is whimsical at this moment, because many facts in the past have proved that this guy can turn whimsical into reality
What's more, many of the people present do know the existence of the material sharing agreement and what countries are involved.
Just take a look at the map and you will find that these countries are forming a belt shape, from east to west, invisibly blocking the Rosotto Empire to the north.
When this agreement was proposed, you already wanted to curb Rosotto?
The uncle asked, only he is the most suitable for asking about this question, and it is not convenient for Annelia and Carlos to speak.
That's not, you know, let the Dredava people farm on the land of Valedin and then sell food to them. This idea was something I thought of by chance. Later, when I confirmed that when I was building this agreement, I suddenly realized that implementing an agreement trade within the agreement can minimize the trade price and maximize the interests. But if it is external, it is another set of prices. Then I deduced it a little and found that this method can be used to manipulate the economy of a certain region. To put it bluntly, it is a trick of monopolizing the source of goods and hoarding. But if you play well, you can control the economic lifeline of a country.
Of course Leach would not say that this was a trick that was played in the ancient times. In the ancient times, this trick was called economic warfare.
It sounds very reasonable
Carlos nodded involuntarily
The time is wrong now, and some things are not yet mature. After the war is over, I plan to sort out and make a set of theories and make money. If I hadn't been unexpectedly awakened to become a knight, I would have wanted to do business according to my original wishes...
Leach looks like he remembers the past
Everyone looked at each other. A pure-blooded knight who was created for war said this, which made people vomit blood, but the people present felt that it was normal.
However, beyond confusion, more fear is
The material sharing system has always been considered a charitable plan to support the Quint Gumgante Desert countries, but it is more specific and in-depth than economic aid and interest-free loans; no one thought that there was a hidden opportunity to kill.
It's like a kind sheep suddenly revealing sharp teeth and claws, which is even more terrifying than an ordinary tiger and wolf
What's even more terrifying is that Leach's first target is Rosotto, the giant
That is to say, this monster in sheepskin but with sharp claws, ranked first on its menu is an elephant
How can this not make people feel scared?
Just like when Leach proposed the new armor idea, the quarrel at lunch far exceeded its original meaning.
No one cares about the small place of Bartoril now. All eyes are on the material sharing agreement, staring at the murderous intent hidden behind this agreement
People like Carlos, Yuks and Annelia who have close ties to Leach naturally pulled Leach to ask clearly; throughout the afternoon, Leach was in the small conference room, talking to these three and some people from the Three Kingdoms about his theory that he had been halfway through his research.
However, there are some senior generals and observers from other countries in the restaurant, and their relationship with Leach is not as close as his majesty and uncle.
They could only send this amazing news back to their country, and those countries that received the news naturally became furious and the top leaders of these countries immediately attacked from all sides. On the one hand, they checked the quarrel, and on the other hand, they inquire about the material sharing agreement everywhere.
This was originally a small economic aid agreement signed between Monstock, Omore, Capech and Dredava. It did not attract much attention at the time, but now all countries are focusing on this
In this way, Mihaian became the most pitiful person. Diplomats from all over the afternoon kept visiting him, wanting to get the inside story of the agreement from him.
The poor old man didn't even know the quarrel that occurred in the middle line, nor did he know what Leach said. He was kept in the dark and naturally asked questions and didn't know this, which made the senior officials of various countries convinced that this agreement had a deep mystery.
Although compared with the ancient times, there are no scholars who specialize in economic research in the world today, and they have not developed a set of theories, there are still people who are good at this. For example, officials from the finance ministries of various countries are more sensitive to this kind of thing. These people are all urgently summoned by senior officials of various countries. They are ordered to analyze the truth of the agreement from some clues collected.
Once you imagine something like this, it will naturally become more and more scary, so soon all countries have a report in their hands, and these reports are all creepy.
The person who was scared the most was Nicholas IV. The ministers he summoned were all silent.
A large map was spread out on the table in the conference room. In the center of the map was a large area marked in red. It was the signatory of the material sharing agreement. However, Parkington did not sign the agreement, but was drawn in by the Rosothos.
Countermeasures, countermeasures, what I need now is countermeasures
Nicholas IV slapped the table and shouted, pointing to the minister in charge of industry: In this plan, curbing our industrial exports is the key point. Do you have any countermeasures?
The minister who was accused of was an old man in his sixties, gray hair, wearing glasses, and had a bit of scholarly temperament. He hesitated and replied: Civil machinery cannot be designed with very special designs like armor, and it is impossible to design something like the "Rude's Cube" that others cannot imitate, so he only needs to make a machine, and we can buy it immediately and imitate it.
This old man dared not say that Rosotto's engineers competed with Leach's ability to design. He knew very well that he would not be able to compete, so he only thought of imitation.
Although this is very discouraging, it can only be passively defended and unable to take the initiative. Over time, it will definitely be regarded as a joke, but only this trick works
Nicholas IV is a pragmatist. He didn't feel embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he thought this method was good. His originally stiff expression finally loosened a little.
Just afraid that their core machinery will not be exported to us
The old man said timidly that he wanted to imitate other people's machinery at least he had to get samples. If he couldn't even get the samples, he would be helpless.
This is easy to deal with, I will let the intelligence department intervene in this matter
Nicholas IV didn't care much about this. Since he was shameless, he might as well be shameless. Then they would steal and cheat. Anyway, they used various methods to get the prototype.
As the old man said, these are civilian machinery after all, and no matter how tightly they are, they cannot compare with armor.
I'm fine here
The old man stepped down
Nicholas IV's eyes turned to the minister in charge of foreign trade
The minister's expression was far less than the one just now. He thought for a long time before saying: In the past, our industrial products were popular because of their cheapness. The most obvious style of the things designed by that person is simple, practical and cheap, even if we can imitate them, we have no advantage. It is easy for him to use some means to drive out of the market.
This is exactly what the minister is worried about. Ten percent profit can make people move. Ten percent profit can make people take risks. As long as there is profit, there will definitely be people who are willing to buy their things. But if there is no profit, it will be difficult to break the blockade.
The truth is very simple, and Nicholas IV understood it as soon as he heard it
If you want to export, you can only be cheaper. Rosotto's advantage is that it has abundant minerals, so the materials are cheaper
As long as the number of member states joining the agreement increases, the resources needed will definitely be obtained, and the prices of materials will not be much more expensive. Moreover, there are many poor countries like Dredava, where labor prices are extremely cheap.
Nicholas IV looked worried, this cannot be solved by the intervention of intelligence agencies.
Even this item cannot be solved. He doesn't need to ask the question of grain procurement. Almost all the grain buyers in the north are big grain buyers. For example, although the land and climate are not a problem, there are not many people farming, and the farmland is all abandoned. It is also a large amount of grain imported every year. However, there are many vassals of Parkington, so there are no need to worry about being caught. Capesch is a city, with fewer people farming, and 100% of grain purchases. The only one who produces grain is Omor. However, Omor has a dry climate and low grain production. It also requires outbound purchase. The real grain production area is all in the central and southern regions. This area happens to be separated by the signing countries of the material sharing agreement.
Nicholas IV feels powerless
Is there a way to break up their alliance?
An official whispered
How is this possible? Think about the relationship between Monstock, Capech, Omore and Dredava, their senior officials are all closely related.
Before Nicholas IV's answer, the Foreign Minister scolded
Think about it, Leach is the supreme leader of Monstock, he is the heir of the sword saint Max, and the default guardian of Capesch. Capesch is the branch of Omore, and Dredava is the vassal of Omore. Dredava and Monstock are now extremely close alliances. The high-level relationships of the four countries are complex and complicated, and it is indeed difficult to shake. At least it is impossible to be broken up in this generation.
That person is probably already doing it
The Minister of Finance said with a sad face: Do you still remember the business he formed? At that time, the business got the production and dispatch of six types of materials from the alliance, including military food and hardware equipment. We did not notice this at that time. These businesses did not make much money, but now it seems that he was already planning to do it.
The Chancellor of the Finance Minister had some alarmist thoughts. The higher he praised Leach, the less pressure he put on, but his reminder just hit the door of his life.
Nicholas IV's face twitched. He had forgotten that it was Leach who took the initiative to ask for these things, or did the senior leaders of the alliance give it to him? But one thing is clear that even the Rosotto army now uses military food produced by this business.
He also knew that all the machines used by the Empire to make plywood were from the company's products
What he didn't know was that it was difficult to count all industries that had been intervened by this business.
The night is late, and Nicholas IV is holding the detailed information about the business he just asked someone to sort out, his forehead is covered with sweat beads
This is a deformed business, because it was established to resettle refugees in Monstock. It has a semi-official nature. There were more than 200,000 people working for this business at the beginning, and now it has increased to 460,000. It is a behemoth that has never been seen before and has never come.
There are so many people, and the scope of the business can be imagined. With the support of several major countries in the alliance, the tentacles of this behemoth have extended to all corners in just two years.
He even felt that this was not a business, but an invisible empire, an empire built with money
Originally he wanted to learn more and then take action, but now he can't hold on and has to contact Annelia
Although he has been kicked out of the alliance decision-making circle, the direct connection with Annelia is still retained. The only difference is that Nicholas IV feels that he is not valued like before. After a quarter of an hour, Annelia's image appears in front of him.
You must have come to me because of the quarrel at noon, right?
Annelia asked straightforwardly
Fortunately, I had a fight, otherwise it would be troublesome if this guy was all arranged.
Nicholas IV can only say this at this moment
I advised you not to be so stumbled with Leach. Monstock and Rosotto are so far away. There will be no conflict of interest at all. And we all cooperated well at the beginning.
Annelia saw that Nicholas IV had surrendered and gave him a step: Every world-scale war will create a new power, this time it is obvious that Monstock is the biggest profiter, and its rise is unstoppable.
It hasn't been revealed yet when the fall
What Nicholas IV feels most sad is this point Rosotto and Monstock got into evil during the Battle of Capesch. Neither Leach nor Monstock had revealed his strength at this moment. In people's impression, the Independence Army could see it slightly. In addition, Leach could be regarded as a small legendary figure.
What really made the world re-understand Monstock was that the brilliant performance of the Pure Blood Knight Project Leach became the result of Monstock's human potential research. Monstock, who had been obscene, suddenly became mysterious and terrifying.
By this time, Monstock was already considered the protagonist of the next two centuries, just like the Franza Empire.
Even if Monstock still only knows how to make money as before, he will no longer be considered a weak country
Nicholas IV has been listening to experts' analysis all afternoon, and naturally understands the power of Leach's idea.
Annelia also felt the same way. Rosotto's comprehensive strength was second only to Parkinton, and it was the second strongest in the alliance, but it was easily captured by Leach. This made Annelia more cautious.
Many places in Parkington are similar to Rosotto. Relying heavily on imports of grain and daily necessities is effective for Rosotto, and it is also effective for Parkington.
You can kill people with money, and you can conquer other countries with money. It seems that in the near future, a new order will appear in this world.
Annelia suddenly felt that she seemed to have seen something. Foresight is always a unique ability of the Holy Emperor lineage, but as the bloodline gradually becomes thinner, this ability has almost disappeared, and it only plays some role occasionally.
Under this new order, can Parkinton remain immortal for another thousand years?
Nicholas IV asked in a slightly provocative tone
Annelia will not be fooled
Nothing can last forever. Parkinton has been around for thousands of years and it is time to change. Let’s talk about it. The new order may not be a threat to Parkinton, or maybe it is an opportunity.
Annelia didn't say this casually
As long as the Holy Emperor's lineage can always give the Holy Emperor's blessing, the Holy Kingdom of Parkinton will not decline. What the heirs of the Holy Emperor's lineage is most worried about is that the magical abilities are gradually disappearing, but since she gave birth to a child with Leach, she found that the power of blood is recovering. Not only that child has strong potential, but even she herself seems to have changed. At least two lost abilities suddenly returned to her.
In addition, in Leach's vision, future wars will be dominated by high-level knights, and the Holy Kingdom of Parkington has a profound foundation, and no second country can compare with this.
Because of this, she is still somewhat sure about the direction of the future
The only thing she couldn't be sure about at this moment was whether she needed to deliberately create an opponent and allow a world-scale war to take place every two centuries?
Her ancestors arranged this way so that future generations would not indulge in peace, and would be alert from time to time. However, judging from the last two wars, this practice has become increasingly dangerous.
Well, I admit defeat, I can even hand over the command of the troops on the Western Front at this moment, but one thing must be exchanged: my country must also join that agreement
Nicholas IV finally said the real purpose of meeting Annelia
It's probably not enough to admit defeat by saying that you should be very clear about the crux of resentment.
Annelia is willing to be this peacemaker, but she knows it's not easy to appease Leach
Nicholas IV also knew this, including public indignation and personal grievances. Public indignation was that hundreds of thousands of Monstoks who moved to Rosotto eventually died in a foreign land. As for personal grievances, it was Anna's death.
You can tell him that Rosotto has just recently investigated and dealt with a major corruption case involving several senior government officials and senior military officials.
This emperor didn't say much
Annelia understood that the methods that could be used were actually similar. The Rosotho Empire might condolence the Monstock people who died in Rosotho in some name, and even give generous compensation. However, they would not admit that they had persecuted those Monstock people at the beginning, nor would they try those related to this for persecution.
So there is only one other crime to execute those related people. The crime of corruption is the most appropriate excuse. It will never make those people related to politics. Major corruption cases can be sentenced to death, or even criminalize family members and relatives. It can be said that the sharp knife of killing people, destroying families and destroying families is much more appropriate than any other crime.
Similarly, Annelia doesn't intend to care whether the unlucky guys who are about to be thrown out are really deserved?
Or is it a scapegoat that can be killed for people to see?
In fact, she doubted that Nicholas IV herself was related to these two things
Communication is out of service
Looking at the dark walls, Nicholas IV finally breathed a sigh of relief with Anelia mediating for him. The relationship between Rosotto and Monstock should be eased. At least he will no longer provoke, and Monstock will no longer take revenge.
But while he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt extremely depressed again
This time he completely defeated the alliance. Other countries are winners, and Monstock is even more a big winner, but he and his empire lost.
What the emperor did not know was that in Annelia's tent, Annelia was not the only one sitting in the seat next to her. Carlos, Max and Leach were respectively sitting in the seat next to her.
You all heard it. Nicholas has surrendered, so he should be able to stop, right?
Annelia asked this, naturally, because she wanted to hear Leach's opinion
But at this moment, Leach didn't listen at all. His heart was filled with a strange feeling, a hint of excitement, a hint of joy, but also a faint loss and sorrow.
This feeling is similar to when I saw Casmolina fall, but it is even stronger
As Heinz expected, the league's top leaders were very satisfied with the one-to-seven-five battle loss rate, so they finally decided to rotate the corps and train on the battlefield in batches.
There is no strange voice in the alliance at this moment. No one can beat the war like this except Leach; even if you have a team of staff that is efficient, it is impossible to handle so many messages at the same time.
The alliance's army entered the hinterland of the alliance has thousands of small squads, and the opponent's knights are millions, that is, hundreds of thousands of small squads, not to mention a larger number of troops, composed of ordinary soldiers.
If all the movements of these troops are recorded on paper, the records will be piled higher than those of the people every hour
The one who knows best this is the staff team that commanded him during the resting time
At first there was only one staff group, but later I found that this was not good. They could not support the heavy command work at all, so they later added two staff groups and rotated one hour.
Even so, when the staff team is in charge of command, the combat loss rate is still much higher than when Leach is in charge of command.
Because of this, Leach can only sleep for four hours a day now, and must be careful when eating, and does not even have time to go to the bathroom.
Such a terrifying tactic, the Alliance's central line troops fell on the brink of collapse in just ten days. At this moment, there was no road available behind the central line. More than 90% of the bridges were blown up, and the second-line corps were seriously damaged, so the Alliance did not dare to deploy troops smaller than the brigade in the field.
At this moment, all the officers at the Alliance Front Command were in a state of turmoil, and the rear staff headquarters were not much better.
Although Heinz and his men were sure that the alliance could not take the opportunity to attack in full swing, he had nothing to say when the war was so ugly that he had nothing to say
However, this terrifying tactic also caused the alliance to collapse.
The main reason is that the reconnaissance squads on the front line can no longer support this tactic and rely entirely on the accurate and unified command of intelligence to create such brilliant results; as the commander, Leach, there are still people who can replace it, but those reconnaissance squads have nothing to replace. They can only take a nap in the battlefield filled with smoke while they are a little calm. After ten days, they have reached the limit.
In addition, the communicator in the command center is not good at all. The part responsible for logistics support is almost falling down.
All this was not expected in advance
Because of this series of problems, starting from the eleventh day, the harassment war entered a state of slowing pace.
However, for Leach, the real key is that the Western Front is progressing very smoothly. The 250,000 desert vanguard troops have been inserted into the gap in the left wing of the Western Front. Now, as long as the hundreds of thousands of Rosotto troops are willing to cooperate, the surrounding alliance Western Front troops can definitely be eaten in turn.
Since the strategic goal has been achieved, Lichi doesn't want to continue to stimulate the Franza people... In the past ten days, he finally has the opportunity to take a breath.
Leach was busy handing over the morning with the staff team, so he didn't have to sit all day long; like during the previous exercise, the staff team would discuss how to fight.
It was already twelve o'clock when everything was handed over, and Leach hurried to the restaurant
The restaurants at the front line command center are very large and clearly divided. Leach went to a small restaurant specially prepared for senior generals of his classmates.
When he arrived, there were already many people inside. Litch saw Carlos and Annelia standing in the same corner.
When he sees others, others will naturally see him too.
Congratulations, you let us see what the real war is
Carlos came over immediately
A little worse than I thought
Leach was modest, but he immediately noticed that Carlos's face twitched slightly, and the expressions of the other generals also changed.
If I still think this kind of command is bad, I really can't imagine what a perfect command is like
Carlos said helplessly
Unfortunately, we do not have the technology that can replace the intelligent brain. If we want to contact the front line, we must go through those who are in the chanter command. After all, there are limited people. One person has to deal with more than a dozen teams, so it is always a bit delayed.
Leach talked about the shortcomings before the exercise was mobilized at most several legions, and most of them were unilaterally ordered, so the problem of communication and communication was not obvious; this time the situation on both sides changed rapidly, and often the orders were still being issued to a certain team, and another team had discovered the situation, so the communications on both sides were often blocked.
Take your time after the war is over
Carlos is more lovable, and he is more realistic
While the two were talking, a servant came over with a dinner plate.
The Omore army implemented a food order system, even the high-end general restaurants were the same. There was no choice at all, and it was completely different from when I was in Monstock.
When he walked to the place where Carlos was sitting, Leach found a seat and saw the uncle walking in as soon as he sat down.
The uncle also saw Liqi at first sight
Congratulations, and create another classic
Uncle said something a bit stupid
Leach was confused all of a sudden
Annelia quickly explained: The combat records in the past few days have been sealed, and after the war is over, it will be used as a textbook for military teaching, so Max said you have created a classic.
Leach then understood, and at the same time he also understood why the uncle said, "He knew that Capelec's defense battle had been determined as a teaching case, and the same was true for the Western Front Raid. Both battles were related to him. The former was just a participant and the relationship was not close, but the latter was the nominal supreme commander.
Now, Leach no longer cares about his reputation in this regard what he is thinking about after the war. In the era of peace, a peerless general seems to have nothing else to do except stay in the military academy for research.
This is nothing. As long as you can connect with those smart brains, anyone can do as good as me
Leach is humble again
His modesty is a sigh
That's right, everyone knows that as long as the brain and the intelligent brain can be connected together, they can have that kind of processing ability. The problem is that no one except Leach has this kind of connection ability, so everyone can only be envious, jealous, and can only sigh beside them.
If it were the past, everyone could have sighed that fate was unfair, but now even this kind of sigh is saved. Everyone knows that Leach is a pure-blooded knight test body
By the way, I did have some insights when commanding the battle, but I just don’t know how to integrate into martial arts.
Leach wants to listen to the uncle's opinion
The uncle was stunned for a moment. If it were someone else, he could give some advice, but Leach's command method was obviously not something that humans could achieve. Throughout history, there has been no famous general like him, and none of the experiences of those who have learned the true meaning of power from military command can be applied to Leach's head.
Seeing the sword saint Max feel embarrassed, Annelia quickly rescued the situation: Everything is going well here now, but the harassment battle here is to cover the Western Front. There are some problems with the Western Front now, do you know?
What's the problem?
Leach really didn't know that all his attention was on commanding the battle for the past ten days, and he didn't have a moment of free time in his mind.
Rosotho hopes to recapture Bartoril as soon as possible
Annelia throws the puzzle to attract Leach's attention
Open up Bartoril and let Quinta Gumgante all the countries fight to the death? There is now a concentrated all the elites on the Western Front of the Alliance, so what if they are connected? Let the Rosotho army withdraw? Then they watch the show next to them? Or make trouble in the rear?
Leach is no longer a layman who knew nothing about military affairs. Although he is a famous general, he still understands some basic things.
Jiali started from the left wing of the Alliance, and actually used a method of making a big move: pry up one end of the encirclement, so that the army surrounded by groups could have some room for activity, and then cooperate with the inside and outside to eat the alliance army in turn.
He could understand the intentions. It was impossible for Rosotto to have so many senior staff members to understand. But the Rosotto asked to get through Bartoril first. There was only one possibility: the Rosotto kept the evil intentions.
You're very direct
Annelia doesn't want to say anything more about the grudge between Monstock and Rosotho. She had the heart to mediate at the beginning, but now she is no longer interested.
Now Jiali is the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, and everything should be followed by Jiali. I even think that the besieged Rosotto army should also obey Jiali's dispatch.
Leach said slowly, he didn't think this would be possible, he just said it casually
He also believed that those besieged troops would never stand by when they saw a glimmer of hope; out of instinct, they would definitely seek a way out themselves, and this must be Jiali's true intention.
What he unexpectedly expected was that as soon as he finished speaking, a person suddenly emerged from the side.
This man looked in his thirties, tall and burly, with a beard all over his face, his eyes as big as a copper bell. He pointed at Leach with one hand and shouted loudly in his mouth.
This person speaks Rosotho, and most of the people who shout in his mouth are scolding and insults.
Leach is not a person who can't help but scold him, his face slams
Are there Rosottos here?
This is definitely asking, and it even brings some scent to find fault
Although this is the mid-line battlefield, allied powers like Rosotto will definitely have knights in various countries. At the beginning, there were many knights fighting on the mid-line battlefield in Monstock.
However, this person was not a reinforcement sent by Rosotto to the middle line, but a front-line observer also had observers from Parkington, Omore and Capecchi on the Western Front.
Most of these people have no status or power, but countries are more polite to them for the sake of the sending countries, so this guy can appear in a restaurant dedicated to high-end generals.
After all, our Rosotto Empire is one of the best powers in the world today. Where can you slander it?
The observer pointed his finger at Leach's nose and shouted
Where did I slander? The situation on the Western Front is very obvious. Just find a few staff members who just came out of the military academy to deduce it, and you will find out which approach is correct. As you said just now, Rosotto is one of the best powers, and it is impossible that he can't even see which one is correct. Apart from other intentions, is there any other explanation?
Leach slammed the table and stood up, he did not give in.
It is not the first time that Leach and the Rosotto deal with people. He is very clear that once he gives in to the people of this country, the other party will not appreciate it, and will not stop at the right time. He will only continue to tangle again and again.
The situation on the Western Front is not good now, and people sacrifice every day, which is something that people in the rear cannot understand...
The observer waved his fist excitedly
Leach interrupted him directly: Of course I know that Monstock had experienced the same thing, and we were even more desperate at that time, because no one could rescue us at all. You were already lucky. When the league was at its most powerful attack, the Western Front raid began, and soon rescued you. Now you were wrong and all fell into it. But someone rescued them immediately. It was said that the deadline was the end of this month, but in order to save a few fewer people, we advanced the time; and for the sake of safety there, we used force against the Franza people without being fully prepared, and many people have been sacrificed for this. What else do you want?
Leach said everything in his heart in one breath
He was very skillful when he said this, and pulled Omore and Capecchi in in a sense, the battles over the past ten days were indeed bleed and sacrificed for the Western Front.
Being sent as an observer must be a good person, so naturally I know that Leach's words are hard to answer
First of all, on which of the two combat plans is more clever, it is impossible for him to argue with Leach whether it is Leach or Jiali, they are both famous figures in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Although the Rosotto Empire also has several famous generals, they are all ranked very low, let alone him.
Secondly, Leach brought the people present in, which is another fearful place.
What I am worried about is nothing else, but in despair, the army may do something crazy. If they think they have been abandoned, they may want to rely on their own strength to save themselves. At that time, they may do things such as seizing command of the Western Front.
The observer simply used threatening means
Of course, Leach understood what this person meant. The alliance had already set a similar example. It is hard to say whether the Rosottos would follow suit. They raided the Allied Command and forced the command power.
Despair can make people do stupid things, and anger is the same as this kind of accidental situation, which is difficult to use as a reason. Why don’t you say that the alliance may lose its rationality and send a saint-level powerful man to assassinate your Emperor?
Leach is also unceremonious, anyone can threaten such things
But those who hear this feel completely different
That observer's words are more like a threat to the alliance, but they are different from the alliance. Rosotto is not Franza. If the Rosotto dares to do this, they will inevitably face the anger of several other major powers in the alliance. Rosotto can't bear all this... On the contrary, Licci's words do not seem to be a threat. He has a criminal record. He once assassinated former President Arno. Because of this, in the evaluation of various countries, he always has the title of dangerous elements on his head, and not to mention that he does have this ability.
Now, no one would doubt Leach can reach the holy level, and no one would doubt that he could create a war armor comparable to Thor. The combination of the two means invincibility. If he explicitly said that he would kill Nicholas IV, Nicholas IV would probably not even sleep.
The observer also felt a dilemma, but at this moment everyone around him realized that they were not allowed to have accidents at such sensitive moments, so several senior generals dragged and pulled the guy out at once.
The troublemakers were finally driven away, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was still extremely depressing
Your current status is no longer as good as before, so you shouldn't say such words casually
Annelia reminded embarrassedly that she was really doing it for Leach's good this time
Rosotto is no longer the second most powerful country before
Leach is the least willing to give in, especially Annelia's reminder just now, which made him feel like his mother was teaching him a lesson before.
Even if Rosotto is not the second strong country, it should be fine to rank third, right?
Annelia said this, but she was already looking for a step
Unfortunately, Leach doesn't appreciate it
Even if the comprehensive strength ranks third, it is not a big deal. I studied Rosotto's economic structure and found that they had a fatal weakness. I had no intention of manipulating the economy to retaliate against Rosotto, but if they forced me to take this step, they would find that there was no need for force or political means, and it would not take too long. In just ten or twenty years, I could turn this arrogant country into a second-rate poor country.
This argument is much scarier than his threat just now
Everyone in the restaurant looked at Leach in surprise. If it were someone else who said this, everyone would say it as a crazy word; but this was from Leach's mouth and the weight was completely different.
Let me tell you, what tricks do you have?
Annelia simply didn't stop her, she was interested in what Leach wanted to do.
Leach was furious by the guy just now, and at the same time he was a little worried about the threat of that person.
After eating, calming himself down, Liqi thought that it was necessary to shock the Rosothos; those guys bully the weak and fear the strong, and if they felt threatened, they would compromise.
In fact, there is no need to do too much trouble. The material sharing system I am planning to form can make the Rosotho people unable to eat. Rosotho has the largest population in the world today. Although their land is fertile, it is frozen all year round and only has four months of planting period a year, so their food depends on imports. This is their most fatal weakness.
There was an unusually sinister smile on Leach's face. Since it was to make people feel scared, it was obviously necessary to pretend to be a bad guy.
The Rosothos could afford food because they were rich in resources. There were a lot of minerals under the frozen soil and dense forests on the ground, all with the best wood. But the Rosothos were very smart. They did not sell raw materials, but made raw materials into industrial products and exported, so that they could make the most money with the least resources, and also raise a large number of workers and engineers.
Leach is not stingy in praise of the Rosothos, and it is not without reason to be one of the best powers in the world.
Unfortunately, rich resources also create a fatal weakness: the machines they make are very rough and I can make light, agile and cheap machinery. As long as I want, I can make all the machines made by the Rosotho people outdated and completely lose the market. In this way, they have to rely on exporting resources to exchange for what they need. Mineral resources and wood are not only available, nor are they completely irreplaceable. What they need is food. They also need cotton, meat, and wool. These are necessary items in daily life. Even if they don’t want to import, they can’t do it. I just need to raise the prices of these items and suppress the prices of mineral resources... Humph
Leach's sneer made everyone present feel cold in their hearts
No one thinks he is whimsical at this moment, because many facts in the past have proved that this guy can turn whimsical into reality
What's more, many of the people present do know the existence of the material sharing agreement and what countries are involved.
Just take a look at the map and you will find that these countries are forming a belt shape, from east to west, invisibly blocking the Rosotto Empire to the north.
When this agreement was proposed, you already wanted to curb Rosotto?
The uncle asked, only he is the most suitable for asking about this question, and it is not convenient for Annelia and Carlos to speak.
That's not, you know, let the Dredava people farm on the land of Valedin and then sell food to them. This idea was something I thought of by chance. Later, when I confirmed that when I was building this agreement, I suddenly realized that implementing an agreement trade within the agreement can minimize the trade price and maximize the interests. But if it is external, it is another set of prices. Then I deduced it a little and found that this method can be used to manipulate the economy of a certain region. To put it bluntly, it is a trick of monopolizing the source of goods and hoarding. But if you play well, you can control the economic lifeline of a country.
Of course Leach would not say that this was a trick that was played in the ancient times. In the ancient times, this trick was called economic warfare.
It sounds very reasonable
Carlos nodded involuntarily
The time is wrong now, and some things are not yet mature. After the war is over, I plan to sort out and make a set of theories and make money. If I hadn't been unexpectedly awakened to become a knight, I would have wanted to do business according to my original wishes...
Leach looks like he remembers the past
Everyone looked at each other. A pure-blooded knight who was created for war said this, which made people vomit blood, but the people present felt that it was normal.
However, beyond confusion, more fear is
The material sharing system has always been considered a charitable plan to support the Quint Gumgante Desert countries, but it is more specific and in-depth than economic aid and interest-free loans; no one thought that there was a hidden opportunity to kill.
It's like a kind sheep suddenly revealing sharp teeth and claws, which is even more terrifying than an ordinary tiger and wolf
What's even more terrifying is that Leach's first target is Rosotto, the giant
That is to say, this monster in sheepskin but with sharp claws, ranked first on its menu is an elephant
How can this not make people feel scared?
Just like when Leach proposed the new armor idea, the quarrel at lunch far exceeded its original meaning.
No one cares about the small place of Bartoril now. All eyes are on the material sharing agreement, staring at the murderous intent hidden behind this agreement
People like Carlos, Yuks and Annelia who have close ties to Leach naturally pulled Leach to ask clearly; throughout the afternoon, Leach was in the small conference room, talking to these three and some people from the Three Kingdoms about his theory that he had been halfway through his research.
However, there are some senior generals and observers from other countries in the restaurant, and their relationship with Leach is not as close as his majesty and uncle.
They could only send this amazing news back to their country, and those countries that received the news naturally became furious and the top leaders of these countries immediately attacked from all sides. On the one hand, they checked the quarrel, and on the other hand, they inquire about the material sharing agreement everywhere.
This was originally a small economic aid agreement signed between Monstock, Omore, Capech and Dredava. It did not attract much attention at the time, but now all countries are focusing on this
In this way, Mihaian became the most pitiful person. Diplomats from all over the afternoon kept visiting him, wanting to get the inside story of the agreement from him.
The poor old man didn't even know the quarrel that occurred in the middle line, nor did he know what Leach said. He was kept in the dark and naturally asked questions and didn't know this, which made the senior officials of various countries convinced that this agreement had a deep mystery.
Although compared with the ancient times, there are no scholars who specialize in economic research in the world today, and they have not developed a set of theories, there are still people who are good at this. For example, officials from the finance ministries of various countries are more sensitive to this kind of thing. These people are all urgently summoned by senior officials of various countries. They are ordered to analyze the truth of the agreement from some clues collected.
Once you imagine something like this, it will naturally become more and more scary, so soon all countries have a report in their hands, and these reports are all creepy.
The person who was scared the most was Nicholas IV. The ministers he summoned were all silent.
A large map was spread out on the table in the conference room. In the center of the map was a large area marked in red. It was the signatory of the material sharing agreement. However, Parkington did not sign the agreement, but was drawn in by the Rosothos.
Countermeasures, countermeasures, what I need now is countermeasures
Nicholas IV slapped the table and shouted, pointing to the minister in charge of industry: In this plan, curbing our industrial exports is the key point. Do you have any countermeasures?
The minister who was accused of was an old man in his sixties, gray hair, wearing glasses, and had a bit of scholarly temperament. He hesitated and replied: Civil machinery cannot be designed with very special designs like armor, and it is impossible to design something like the "Rude's Cube" that others cannot imitate, so he only needs to make a machine, and we can buy it immediately and imitate it.
This old man dared not say that Rosotto's engineers competed with Leach's ability to design. He knew very well that he would not be able to compete, so he only thought of imitation.
Although this is very discouraging, it can only be passively defended and unable to take the initiative. Over time, it will definitely be regarded as a joke, but only this trick works
Nicholas IV is a pragmatist. He didn't feel embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he thought this method was good. His originally stiff expression finally loosened a little.
Just afraid that their core machinery will not be exported to us
The old man said timidly that he wanted to imitate other people's machinery at least he had to get samples. If he couldn't even get the samples, he would be helpless.
This is easy to deal with, I will let the intelligence department intervene in this matter
Nicholas IV didn't care much about this. Since he was shameless, he might as well be shameless. Then they would steal and cheat. Anyway, they used various methods to get the prototype.
As the old man said, these are civilian machinery after all, and no matter how tightly they are, they cannot compare with armor.
I'm fine here
The old man stepped down
Nicholas IV's eyes turned to the minister in charge of foreign trade
The minister's expression was far less than the one just now. He thought for a long time before saying: In the past, our industrial products were popular because of their cheapness. The most obvious style of the things designed by that person is simple, practical and cheap, even if we can imitate them, we have no advantage. It is easy for him to use some means to drive out of the market.
This is exactly what the minister is worried about. Ten percent profit can make people move. Ten percent profit can make people take risks. As long as there is profit, there will definitely be people who are willing to buy their things. But if there is no profit, it will be difficult to break the blockade.
The truth is very simple, and Nicholas IV understood it as soon as he heard it
If you want to export, you can only be cheaper. Rosotto's advantage is that it has abundant minerals, so the materials are cheaper
As long as the number of member states joining the agreement increases, the resources needed will definitely be obtained, and the prices of materials will not be much more expensive. Moreover, there are many poor countries like Dredava, where labor prices are extremely cheap.
Nicholas IV looked worried, this cannot be solved by the intervention of intelligence agencies.
Even this item cannot be solved. He doesn't need to ask the question of grain procurement. Almost all the grain buyers in the north are big grain buyers. For example, although the land and climate are not a problem, there are not many people farming, and the farmland is all abandoned. It is also a large amount of grain imported every year. However, there are many vassals of Parkington, so there are no need to worry about being caught. Capesch is a city, with fewer people farming, and 100% of grain purchases. The only one who produces grain is Omor. However, Omor has a dry climate and low grain production. It also requires outbound purchase. The real grain production area is all in the central and southern regions. This area happens to be separated by the signing countries of the material sharing agreement.
Nicholas IV feels powerless
Is there a way to break up their alliance?
An official whispered
How is this possible? Think about the relationship between Monstock, Capech, Omore and Dredava, their senior officials are all closely related.
Before Nicholas IV's answer, the Foreign Minister scolded
Think about it, Leach is the supreme leader of Monstock, he is the heir of the sword saint Max, and the default guardian of Capesch. Capesch is the branch of Omore, and Dredava is the vassal of Omore. Dredava and Monstock are now extremely close alliances. The high-level relationships of the four countries are complex and complicated, and it is indeed difficult to shake. At least it is impossible to be broken up in this generation.
That person is probably already doing it
The Minister of Finance said with a sad face: Do you still remember the business he formed? At that time, the business got the production and dispatch of six types of materials from the alliance, including military food and hardware equipment. We did not notice this at that time. These businesses did not make much money, but now it seems that he was already planning to do it.
The Chancellor of the Finance Minister had some alarmist thoughts. The higher he praised Leach, the less pressure he put on, but his reminder just hit the door of his life.
Nicholas IV's face twitched. He had forgotten that it was Leach who took the initiative to ask for these things, or did the senior leaders of the alliance give it to him? But one thing is clear that even the Rosotto army now uses military food produced by this business.
He also knew that all the machines used by the Empire to make plywood were from the company's products
What he didn't know was that it was difficult to count all industries that had been intervened by this business.
The night is late, and Nicholas IV is holding the detailed information about the business he just asked someone to sort out, his forehead is covered with sweat beads
This is a deformed business, because it was established to resettle refugees in Monstock. It has a semi-official nature. There were more than 200,000 people working for this business at the beginning, and now it has increased to 460,000. It is a behemoth that has never been seen before and has never come.
There are so many people, and the scope of the business can be imagined. With the support of several major countries in the alliance, the tentacles of this behemoth have extended to all corners in just two years.
He even felt that this was not a business, but an invisible empire, an empire built with money
Originally he wanted to learn more and then take action, but now he can't hold on and has to contact Annelia
Although he has been kicked out of the alliance decision-making circle, the direct connection with Annelia is still retained. The only difference is that Nicholas IV feels that he is not valued like before. After a quarter of an hour, Annelia's image appears in front of him.
You must have come to me because of the quarrel at noon, right?
Annelia asked straightforwardly
Fortunately, I had a fight, otherwise it would be troublesome if this guy was all arranged.
Nicholas IV can only say this at this moment
I advised you not to be so stumbled with Leach. Monstock and Rosotto are so far away. There will be no conflict of interest at all. And we all cooperated well at the beginning.
Annelia saw that Nicholas IV had surrendered and gave him a step: Every world-scale war will create a new power, this time it is obvious that Monstock is the biggest profiter, and its rise is unstoppable.
It hasn't been revealed yet when the fall
What Nicholas IV feels most sad is this point Rosotto and Monstock got into evil during the Battle of Capesch. Neither Leach nor Monstock had revealed his strength at this moment. In people's impression, the Independence Army could see it slightly. In addition, Leach could be regarded as a small legendary figure.
What really made the world re-understand Monstock was that the brilliant performance of the Pure Blood Knight Project Leach became the result of Monstock's human potential research. Monstock, who had been obscene, suddenly became mysterious and terrifying.
By this time, Monstock was already considered the protagonist of the next two centuries, just like the Franza Empire.
Even if Monstock still only knows how to make money as before, he will no longer be considered a weak country
Nicholas IV has been listening to experts' analysis all afternoon, and naturally understands the power of Leach's idea.
Annelia also felt the same way. Rosotto's comprehensive strength was second only to Parkinton, and it was the second strongest in the alliance, but it was easily captured by Leach. This made Annelia more cautious.
Many places in Parkington are similar to Rosotto. Relying heavily on imports of grain and daily necessities is effective for Rosotto, and it is also effective for Parkington.
You can kill people with money, and you can conquer other countries with money. It seems that in the near future, a new order will appear in this world.
Annelia suddenly felt that she seemed to have seen something. Foresight is always a unique ability of the Holy Emperor lineage, but as the bloodline gradually becomes thinner, this ability has almost disappeared, and it only plays some role occasionally.
Under this new order, can Parkinton remain immortal for another thousand years?
Nicholas IV asked in a slightly provocative tone
Annelia will not be fooled
Nothing can last forever. Parkinton has been around for thousands of years and it is time to change. Let’s talk about it. The new order may not be a threat to Parkinton, or maybe it is an opportunity.
Annelia didn't say this casually
As long as the Holy Emperor's lineage can always give the Holy Emperor's blessing, the Holy Kingdom of Parkinton will not decline. What the heirs of the Holy Emperor's lineage is most worried about is that the magical abilities are gradually disappearing, but since she gave birth to a child with Leach, she found that the power of blood is recovering. Not only that child has strong potential, but even she herself seems to have changed. At least two lost abilities suddenly returned to her.
In addition, in Leach's vision, future wars will be dominated by high-level knights, and the Holy Kingdom of Parkington has a profound foundation, and no second country can compare with this.
Because of this, she is still somewhat sure about the direction of the future
The only thing she couldn't be sure about at this moment was whether she needed to deliberately create an opponent and allow a world-scale war to take place every two centuries?
Her ancestors arranged this way so that future generations would not indulge in peace, and would be alert from time to time. However, judging from the last two wars, this practice has become increasingly dangerous.
Well, I admit defeat, I can even hand over the command of the troops on the Western Front at this moment, but one thing must be exchanged: my country must also join that agreement
Nicholas IV finally said the real purpose of meeting Annelia
It's probably not enough to admit defeat by saying that you should be very clear about the crux of resentment.
Annelia is willing to be this peacemaker, but she knows it's not easy to appease Leach
Nicholas IV also knew this, including public indignation and personal grievances. Public indignation was that hundreds of thousands of Monstoks who moved to Rosotto eventually died in a foreign land. As for personal grievances, it was Anna's death.
You can tell him that Rosotto has just recently investigated and dealt with a major corruption case involving several senior government officials and senior military officials.
This emperor didn't say much
Annelia understood that the methods that could be used were actually similar. The Rosotho Empire might condolence the Monstock people who died in Rosotho in some name, and even give generous compensation. However, they would not admit that they had persecuted those Monstock people at the beginning, nor would they try those related to this for persecution.
So there is only one other crime to execute those related people. The crime of corruption is the most appropriate excuse. It will never make those people related to politics. Major corruption cases can be sentenced to death, or even criminalize family members and relatives. It can be said that the sharp knife of killing people, destroying families and destroying families is much more appropriate than any other crime.
Similarly, Annelia doesn't intend to care whether the unlucky guys who are about to be thrown out are really deserved?
Or is it a scapegoat that can be killed for people to see?
In fact, she doubted that Nicholas IV herself was related to these two things
Communication is out of service
Looking at the dark walls, Nicholas IV finally breathed a sigh of relief with Anelia mediating for him. The relationship between Rosotto and Monstock should be eased. At least he will no longer provoke, and Monstock will no longer take revenge.
But while he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt extremely depressed again
This time he completely defeated the alliance. Other countries are winners, and Monstock is even more a big winner, but he and his empire lost.
What the emperor did not know was that in Annelia's tent, Annelia was not the only one sitting in the seat next to her. Carlos, Max and Leach were respectively sitting in the seat next to her.
You all heard it. Nicholas has surrendered, so he should be able to stop, right?
Annelia asked this, naturally, because she wanted to hear Leach's opinion
But at this moment, Leach didn't listen at all. His heart was filled with a strange feeling, a hint of excitement, a hint of joy, but also a faint loss and sorrow.
This feeling is similar to when I saw Casmolina fall, but it is even stronger
