Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Iron Horse Glacier Section 95 Public Letter

The majestic infantry phalanx walked through the square in neat steps. Louis X satisfactorily inspected the rows of energetic and heavily armed soldiers in front of him. Citigroup, the Black Eagle flag representing the Grand Duchy of Mahad, and the Panlong Yunhai flag representing the Principality of Andako are rising on the flagpole in the center of the square at the same time. This is the annual military parade of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, which is held in September in previous years time, but this year it has been slightly delayed.

Prime Minister Bedoric of the Kingdom of Milan, Deputy Prime Minister Mekro from the Grand Duchy of Mahad, Deputy Minister of State and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Principality of Andaco Cassini all gathered behind King Louis X of Milan to watch quietly Watching this scene, the elite selected by the 350,000 troops gathered in Lombardy, an important town in the west of Milan, and held a military parade in this famous San Marco Square to show the unity and military might of the Triple Alliance. Most of the previous exercises and military parades were attended by military generals from various countries, but this time it was very different. Senior officials from the three countries gathered here, obviously not for a simple military parade, and the strong fighting spirit in it was almost everyone. smell.

The first to come was the Saint Field Knights representing the royal family of the Kingdom of Milan. The bright lily medallions were inlaid in the buckles on the shoulders of the knights, shining brightly in the sun, and a thousand horses were almost stepping on With the same footsteps, each step will make the square tremble slightly, like a giant with ten thousand feet moving its limbs neatly. When the Cavaliers passed through the reviewing stand, the uniform knight salute raised the atmosphere even more. The highest dynasty.

Following up was the First Infantry Corps of the Milan Royal Family. This was the first time that the Milan Royal Family First Infantry Corps appeared in public after the Kingdom of Milan hired military instructors from the Tang Dynasty to carry out military reforms. It was as thick as a mountain and as wide as the sea. The imposing manner hits us in the face, whether it is the people watching from a distance or the senior military and political officials on the reviewing stand, they are all attracted by the five square teams that followed up with the reading, and the dazzling knives and uniform armor formed in the square. A beautiful mobile banner, every change of pace and hand shape is like rolling clouds, majestic and majestic.

"Lord Bedorić, it seems that your army's combat effectiveness has improved a lot. This Royal First Infantry Corps is worthy of being Milan's first army. Just this performance is well-deserved." Prime Minister Milan laughed. The Deputy Prime Minister of the Grand Duchy of Mahad, Mekro, also pulled another ally into "Lord Kasinich, it seems that the armies of our two countries have to learn from the Milan Army. If you always stand still and watch the sky, then I'm really going to become a frog in a well."

"Yes, but Lord Mekro, the elites of the Grand Duchy of Mahad are also very strong. I heard that the First and Second Divisions of your army also obtained Kunek in the previous drills. The general speaks highly of it, and it is said that it is completely comparable to the army of the royal family of Milan." The thin man with a thin face looked empty in his long robe. It's like a bamboo pole propped in the clothes, but the bright and agile eyes show that this person is not simple.

"Hehe, that's just a courtesy compliment from General Kunek. How can our army of the Grand Duchy of Mahad be compared with the army of the King of Milan? It's already a high praise for us to be able to wave the flag and shout with the tail of the fuji." Meck Luo Lianlian shook his head and expressed that he did not dare to take this kind of false reputation. No matter in terms of quality or quantity, there is still a certain gap between Mahadeh's army and Milan King's army. Mekro is still self-aware of this.

"Okay. You two don't brag about each other there. Whether it's a mule or a horse, you can see the difference soon. I hope that our Milan King Army and the Three Kingdoms Allied Army can win this battle. Show off our prestige, wash away our humiliation over the years, and at the same time give Datang a clear proof that our Three Kingdoms Allied Forces can also defeat the Machi Khans. It is not only the Tang Army that can deal with the Machi Khans. This time is our best chance I hope that the two of you will also need to confess to your respective generals, this time you must obey the command of General Kunek, and strive for more interests for our three countries in the future."

Bedoric, who smiled wryly, was somewhat insincere in his words, but it is obviously impossible to get off the ship when things have reached this level. The envoys of the Tang people are sitting in the capital, isn't it? If there is another push, that guy will really report to Li Wufeng that the alliance is sitting on the fence. There seems to be little wiggle room now.

Both Mekro and Cassinich could hear the reluctance in Bedoric's words. They also knew that Bedoric was not active in fighting the Machi Khan. The same was true for Louis X, but faced with Under the tremendous pressure of Datang, the original neutral policy was forced to be changed to Shi Yan. Now that Datang has won a decisive victory in Yuejing, its attitude towards the Three Kingdoms Alliance has become more and more tough. It even made it clear that if the Three Kingdoms Alliance If they cannot fulfill their due obligations in the war against the Machi Khans, then the cooperation agreement between Datang and the Three Kingdoms Alliance will need to be reconsidered. This also means that the relationship between Datang and the Three Kingdoms Alliance will be repositioned. What will happen, no one can be sure.

Whether it is Milan, Mahad, and Andako, they all feel the huge pressure from Datang. Although the officials of the three countries have repeatedly explained the policies and opinions of the Triple Alliance to the special envoy of Datang, they hope to give the three countries more time for the three countries to come. To mobilize, but the other party is still very tough. Criticizing the Three Kingdoms Alliance for adopting a neutral policy in this war where there can be no bystanders means supporting Maqi Khan in disguise. The relationship between the two sides brought many variables, and urged the Triple Alliance to send troops to Maqi Khan to completely resolve the threat of Maqi Khan to the southern countries of the Eastern Continent.

"Master Bedoric, since this battle is unavoidable, we have to accept it. We just hope that Datang can stop fighting abroad after this battle. The Eastern Continent has never been quiet since their empire was established. However, we all hope to establish a reasonable order with Datang so that we can have sufficient time to develop the economy. Haven’t the countries in the Western Continent discovered the New World? Didn’t they also discover the new continent in the south of the Great Southern Ocean? Some islands? If Datang really has spare power, it would be much better to spend more time on those places." Kasinich also sighed slightly, and it is difficult to attach to the strong, which is a little bit unsatisfactory It will cause tension in the relationship, and Andako is also deeply touched.

"Lord Bedoriqi, the situation in the north seems to be very tense. I heard that the Liberians have joined hands to mobilize a million troops on the northern border of the Tang Dynasty. It seems that the Tang Dynasty and the Liberians The First World War is also inevitable, so I wonder if Datang can support fighting on two fronts at the same time?" Mekro is more concerned about this point, the Machihans and the Liberians must have a tacit understanding, once the Liberians After defeating Datang in the north, it is hard to say whether the situation in the south will be affected. The Three Kingdoms Alliance does not want to be on the wrong side, which is the main reason why they hope to delay for a while.

"My lords, since we are standing on the same boat with Datang, we can only bite the bullet and go down, stop holding half-hearted thoughts, now we can only go all out to cooperate with Datang Solve the Maqihan problem as quickly as possible, so that Datang can free up more energy to deal with the Liberians. Otherwise, the Liberians really defeated Datang, and the Maqihans will revive. At that time, The Machihans cannot compete with the Liberians, and they may only focus on us.

Bedoric also knows that his explanation is a bit far-fetched, but he agrees with His Majesty the King that the Liberians cannot defeat Datang, and it is only a matter of time before Datang wins this battle. The overall national strength of the country cannot compete with Datang at all. Once the war is intensified, the end of the Liberians is inevitable. Now that the Liberians want to defeat Datang in a short time, Bedorić also thinks it is impossible . Rather than offending Datang, it is better to bet on Datang and cooperate with Datang to solve the Maqihan problem. The foreign minister of Datang has clearly stated that Datang has only three enemies in the Eastern Continent, the Liberians, the Japanese, and the Maqihan. People, Datang will not have any territorial claims or attempts to other countries, including the Nanyang Alliance. Datang is even willing to guarantee this by disclosing its national policy to the public.

It was Wang Liao's statement that dispelled the concerns of King Louis X and Bedorić~IndoMTL.com~Although Louis X and Bedorić did not believe that Tang had the power and ambition to unify the entire continent , but Datang’s frequent conquest wars in the less than two years since the founding of the country have indeed caused doubts in many surrounding countries. On this point, Datang has not provided convincing explanations to neighboring countries with friendly relations. It is said that it is a long-standing enemy with the Liberians and the Machihans, and there is a territorial dispute with the Japanese, but the war against the peninsula and the war against Indian is a bit far-fetched. This is why Milan and the Triple Alliance have been reluctant to formalize In response to the main reason for Datang's alliance, I believe that no country is willing to form an alliance with a country that is too ambitious and relies entirely on military conquest.

"Lord Bedorich, do you think the opinions expressed by Lord Wang Liao on behalf of His Majesty the Tang Emperor are credible?" Kacinich and Bedorich both had some doubts about the sincerity of Datang.

"Let's wait and see. Wang Liao has already returned to Zhongzhou. He promised that within a week after returning to Zhongzhou, Li Wufeng will explain the foreign policy of the Tang Empire to the public, and he will also clearly promise to do everything except Liberia. There are no territorial ambitions or requirements in the Eastern Continent other than the land of Japan, Wodi, and Maqihan. As long as he dares to make public promises to his people, we can trust him. If he fails to do so or is vague, then we need to reconsider Our attitude has changed," Bedorich replied quietly.
