Quadruple split

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 of the main forces in this area, 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 some inevitable minor frictions will always occur in various fields, their degree and scale are also very controlled. Well, 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 no decent opportunities have been given to other countries. On the surface, everything is prosperous. .

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 one-third of the Silver Alliance. Second, the domestic political system is even more bloated and decadent, but its comprehensive strength is still the well-deserved first in the southwest, and whether it is the emperors of the past dynasties or the great nobles who are not very cooperative with the royal family in most cases, they have never cooperated with the royal family. He has not neglected to improve the country's combat capabilities.

That's right, it's just about combat power. Compared with their 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. The only thing they can do is actually It's just 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 nobility, secret fights between aristocrats, open fights between factions, and conflicts between aristocratic families and wealthy families. The confrontation is taking place almost every minute, and in this case, including the Chiwetel Logan known as the [Blood Lion Emperor], every leader who holds a chip in his hand dare not There is no slack 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 leader of the Silver Alliance who has never seen an end, and the current Adolf who is working hard to govern, The Grand Duke, William Boho, the 'merchant king' who runs the Chauvinian Empire in an orderly manner, the Archon of the Palmyra Free Trade Zone who dares to do business with anyone, or the unfathomable Patriarch of the Dreamland Theocracy, those people who work hard every day The people you are most worried about are the ones you don't see with your head down.

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 infinite glory, has gradually brewed over the past thousands of years.

Without giving up what our ancestors have and everything we have accumulated, and without wanting to become a stepping stone for others, supporting troops and self-respect is a basic skill that every participant in the game must do well, including their emperor.

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.

Under such circumstances, 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" 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 starts, those There is no need to even think about who the fighting force that was originally raised to deal with themselves will raise weapons against.

We 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, but they also often buy some strange things to put at home. On Monday, the man went out and bought some. Shaying, on Tuesday the woman bought two heavy snipers online, on Wednesday the man bought a second-hand AKM, on Thursday the woman dragged back an eight-star and eight-diamond Gatling from her parents’ home, and on Friday the man drove it when he came home from work. Taiwan Freedom, the woman was crying in the corridor on Saturday while calling for armed satellite support. The two seemed to have reconciled on Sunday, but you found that one of them ordered a takeaway called 'Uranium Croquettes'. This happened Son, are you panicking? Are you scared?

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?

Therefore, 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 and is not very successful in all aspects except the economic road, there is no one. Don't be 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 as good as the Dreamland Theocracy and Adolf. The total area of ​​​​the Free Territory has increased, and the Silver Alliance, which is now the strongest comprehensive strength in the southwest continent, is formed by the cooperation of those small countries that were originally in panic.

It can be seen that it is not an exaggeration at all to have other forces be so wary of the Griffin dynasty, which has not waged war for nearly a century. It is even considered conservative.

Rather than wasting a lot of manpower, material and financial resources on guarding 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 want the Griffin Dynasty to fall apart.

After all, judging from the latter's national conditions, this should be a matter of time.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that country will one day split under various internal and external pressures and turn into dozens of large and small forces. At that time, the situation in the Southwest Continent will be completely chaotic, and this is exactly what we have What I want to see is what those in the Silver Alliance and the Adolf Free Territory want to see as well.”

Lamorlock blinked at Carter in front of him, spread his hands and said: "This kind of result is what the Griffin royal family least wants to see. After all, no matter what kind of empire the empire will eventually split into, the Logan family as the flag There is absolutely no chance of them being spared, they will die in the initial chaos, and not even a handful of scum will be left~"

High Priest Carter nodded, and then asked in confusion: "But Sir, what does all this have to do with Her Highness Elisa deliberately letting go of the murderer of Arthur Bohe?"

"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. This is 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 those nobles and factions opportunities, but as the royal family, the Logan family will inevitably become victims. Even if Griffin is lucky enough not to split, in the Being extremely weak and being attacked by other forces that think the time is right will not end well, so..."

"Are they planning to take the initiative and start a war?"

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 my guess is correct, 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 will at least leave some room for morality, just like the county that was given to me before. I think that is part of Her Royal Highness Eliza's plan. Ha, you don't think that I am really just doing it for myself. That’s why you slaughtered everyone, including the prisoners and most of the civilians, because of your preferences, right?”

A drop of cold sweat slid down Carter's forehead, he really thought that 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. It was written by Lisa Logan, but she has already begun to use the death of Arthur Boho to make an issue. If you want to make a tentative guess, I think the subsequent development will probably be like this."

When he said this, he paused slightly, then stood up slowly, his eyes suddenly turned cold——

"First, after feeding back the news of Arthur Boho's death to the Chauvin Empire, try to delay as much time as possible, transfer all the legions directly under the royal family located in the southern border of Griffin, and while showing sincerity, quietly suppress some small aristocratic forces. in front of."

"Secondly, when the murderer of Arthur Boho was revealed to have escaped, he did Tai Chi in front of the aggressive Chauvinist empire and presented all kinds of real or false evidence to clear up his involvement. This was done to other forces. watch."

"Third, the merchant king who lost his only son began to fight back, and Griffin was 'forced' to fight. Oh, please note that the 'forced' here is not really forced. There are many people who really can't figure out the situation. But it won’t be much more.”

"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 Adolf's Free Territory can take advantage of this opportunity."

"Fifth, the Theocracy and the Adolf Free Territory, who could not bear the temptation, joined the war. At the same time, the Silver Alliance began to prepare for war, and the Griffin Dynasty began to fight on three fronts."

"Sixth, give up about one-third of the territory northwest of Griffin, compress the combat space, and minimize the risk of being attacked from both front and rear. The main force of the royal family will move towards the Lake Nismont area. The Logan family will stick to the royal capital Brorid, and comprehensively The war begins and the aristocratic forces are forced to join the war.”

"Seventh, the Blood Lion Emperor used his special authority during the war to obtain the command of all the combat forces in Griffin, and led the nobles who had been more or less injured to start a counterattack. The royal army directly under the secret exchange was divided into Two batches return.”

"Eighth, in the stalemate stage, the Griffin Dynasty's inherent advantages were revealed, and the war losses between the Theocracy and the Adolf Free Territory began to expand 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 I made my own little plans."

"Tenth, the Blood Lion Emperor took the lead in launching peace talks in the name of Emperor Griffin, and promised a large number of benefits that the Theocracy and the Free Territory could not win through war, and at the same time exempted Pami who was destined to provide economic and material support to the 'Allied Forces' If we impose tariffs on the free trade area for a few years and then cede some territory to the Silver Alliance, this war will basically be unwinnable."

"Finally, within a short period of time after the war ends, the Logan family will launch a bloody purge of the country's severely weakened nobles, completely eradicating the country's hidden dangers that have lasted for thousands of years."

Lamorlock blinked at Carter and said with a smile: "Of course, this is just my one-sided statement, and it is still a complete talk on paper. At that time, what I just speculated will be one-tenth accurate. That’s pretty good, so you don’t have to take it seriously.”

However, the high-ranking priest Carter, who had been shocked into a cold sweat by Lamorlock, bowed down sincerely and said in admiration: "My lord, you have learned from this!"

"I've said 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 if nothing happens to the Northeast Diocese, it should be I can’t save him, but I’m still 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 paint on it.

"Currently, the Northeastern Diocese responsible for contaminating the holy mountain Sumir is still accumulating troops. The two main forces are stationary at Snow Dove Hill and Chuixue Peak respectively."

"Well, they're dead, now what?"
