Pirate's Devouring Fruit

Chapter 105 Planning ([-])

Yes, annex a country.

This was Dawn's first thought after learning about the details of the Kotal Kingdom.

In terms of strength, the two countries have never won a war against each other.

In such a resource-rich country, the body is full of sores, like a sick person, seemingly strong but actually extremely weak.

So how to seek the country?The thoughts in Dawn's mind kept turning.

The drizzle fell from the sky at some unknown time, like smoke, getting bigger and bigger with the passage of time.

Bean-sized raindrops kept falling, as heavy as the hearts of Adolf and the others.

No matter how confident you are in the war, there are countless worries about the outbreak of the war and the fighting soldiers.

Although Dawn is also very worried, but Dawn's vision is more long-term, he saw the "cake" in this invasion.

If it was a complete disaster in the eyes of others, then for him this invasion was more like an opportunity, and the premise of getting this opportunity was to be able to defeat the Kotal Kingdom.

If not, then they can only vomit the bitter fruit of defeat and wait for the world government to intervene in mediation. After all, the influence of Ishtar, a major food supply country, is not bad.

But if you can win this war, it is a huge opportunity.

A chance to annex Cottard!
You must know that the Kingdom of Ishtar is already a large grain-producing country, and because of the efforts of the kings of the past dynasties, it not only has a huge influence in neighboring countries, but also has a close relationship with the navy.

But this also puts virtually restrictions on the Kingdom of Ishtar, that is, it must be a kind country to maintain a positive image-at least for now.

When we have not gained a firm foothold in the navy and our strength is not sufficient, we still need to maintain a good relationship with the navy.

Originally, Dawn planned to wait until his strength improved, and when the navy had enough capital and voice, he could find a way to take advantage of the loopholes and annex the North Sea.

This is also the reason for keeping Enilo and not letting him join the navy. After Enilo grows up, suppressing Beihai by himself is not empty talk, but a fact.

If the North Sea is fully developed into the logistics base of the navy, I am afraid that even the admiral of the navy will not be able to resist such a big piece of cake.

And the world government will turn a blind eye to unify the North Sea and strengthen the strength of the navy.

In Dawn's plan, the surrounding Ketal is indispensable and the primary target. The reason is that the kingdom of Ketal is rich in iron resources, and it will be of great benefit if it can be occupied.

But now, the opportunity to annex the Kotal Kingdom ahead of time is in front of them, and it is an opportunity that can be justified.

The whole country of Kotar wants to invade, so why can't Ishtar occupy their country?

And once Kotal is captured, the national power of the Kingdom of Ishtar will be raised to a higher level
There are many benefits to obtaining the Kotal Kingdom in advance, such as iron resources, weapon building, influence, increasing the sense of belonging of the people, and so on.

And you don't even have to worry about the sales of the equipment and weapons you build, because the navy is the biggest customer.

This can greatly increase the influence of the Kingdom of Ishtar in the navy, and this influence will also affect Dawn in the navy.

Dawn restrained the restlessness in his heart and said: "It seems that this matter needs to be discussed in detail after returning."

Even though the Kotal Kingdom actually does not occupy a large area, and it is even about as large as a province in Dawn's previous life, it is a country after all, so we have to be careful.

.......
Although the Kingdom of Ishtar is a rich country, it is clear that as a royal family, it does not pursue extravagant ornate items too much.

The style of the palace is simple but not simple. The elegant atmosphere is higher than the ornate. The carvings on the walls represent the logo of the Kingdom of Ishtar. The precipitation of each generation of kings makes the palace look more flavorful.

But at the moment in the royal palace of Ishtar, the morale-boosting Dawn is having close discussions with his father in this world, King Gaius of the Kingdom of Ishtar.

The faces of both sides are very serious, after all, this involves a war between two countries.

"This war was too sudden and there was no warning, and the king of the Kingdom of Cottal was greedy for enjoyment, and his most common method was to announce it but not to announce it.

Threat, and then ask all countries to continue to accept iron resources in exchange for various goods, and the surrounding countries will accept the other party’s request if they don’t want to go to war without authorization.”

Gaius analyzed with a solemn face: "Although Cottalard is a foolish king who is short-sighted and greedy for enjoyment, this basic operation is still available. The bow and arrow are more deterrent when the string is drawn but not shot."

"So, someone behind Cottalard is instigating him to start a war?" Dawn said in a serious tone.

Dawn's face was serious. If this is the case, then his plan must be carefully considered. There is an enemy hiding in the dark behind him that he has to guard against.

As Gaius said, it is more deterrent to attract but not to fire, not to mention a "back arrow" hiding in the shadows.

And after the king's analysis, Dawn also became vigilant, because he found that he was still too immature in this area, and he was not proficient in these things.

In other words, since he was a commoner in his previous life, he is not as proficient in politics as the natives. This is inevitable, but fortunately, Dawn is not stupid and only lacks some experience.

And this war will bring him more experience.

"The Kingdom of Cottal is short of food, and because of the scarcity of various materials, it is not ready to go to war, so there must be someone behind him to provide such materials." Gaius sneered, revealing anger in his tone.

Then the enemy's intention behind this needs to be considered. What is it for?
If a country is standing behind, is this country trying to consume the power of the Ishtar Kingdom, and then benefit from it or something else?

Thinking about these things, Dawn has a headache. There are so many conspiracy methods in the country and country before, and it is not something that a rookie like him can guess.

As for the plan to swallow Kottal, although his previous ideas were still too immature, their purpose now is to find out who is behind the Kottal Kingdom.

You have to be pragmatic, otherwise it will be just empty talk.

Only by understanding these can we make plans for the next step.

But it is undeniable that the other party's invasion of the whole country is fierce.

If this war cannot be handled well, then even winning the Kingdom of Ishtar will hurt its vitality, which is intolerable to Dawn.

However, Dawn still spoke out his plans and ideas, because this is a rare opportunity, and if he really misses the opportunity because he didn't plan ahead, Dawn would feel distressed.

It feels like the meat in your mouth is flying away by itself, so you must be fully prepared!
