Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 111 National Interest

Slumped in the big chair, bean-sized beads of sweat bubbling from the slightly bald head, staring blankly at the dark dome, endless despair and depression permeated the entire space and heart. The letter in his hand was already crumpled, but he still unconsciously grasped it firmly.

After hesitating and panting for a long time, the man who tried his best to control his emotions began to pace back and forth in the study room, with various expressions on his swollen cheeks, as if he was recalling the glory of the past, but this moment seems to have come to an end It's time.

"My lord, both Duke Vasili and Duke Knox have arrived, do you see ``````?" The attendant had already sensed his master's emotional instability, the entire afternoon, except for the master and the guards The official was locked in the room for a while, he just stayed in the study and never saw anyone and never went out again, but there were a lot of long and short sighs that could be heard, and the attendants had to stand carefully outside the room to wait, deeply I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of something that will provoke the wrath of the thunder.

"Well, please wait a moment in the living room, my lords, and I'll be right over." After the attendants left, the short and fat man straightened his clothes and messy hair, sighed in front of the bronze mirror, and resolutely came out. Open the door.

Looking at the sleepy-eyed His Majesty, who seemed to have not yet come to his senses, Duke Pokaninski had to patiently ask his attendants to cleanse the Emperor's face. Pulled out from the warm bedroom, it's no wonder His Majesty's face is hesitant. But this is no time to worry about His Majesty's mood. When His Majesty hears these news, he will understand the seriousness of the matter.

"What did you say? Aiqing, can you say it again?! Is the news reliable? Where did you get the news? When did it happen?" Fili finally woke up from his drowsy ignorance. The fifth stood up at once, without even noticing that the thick cotton robe that was wrapped around his body was opened all of a sudden, but the astute attendant quickly pulled down the skirt of the emperor's majesty, lest the emotional emperor accidentally catch cold, your majesty this Age can't stand this kind of torment of cold and cold.

A series of questions poured out like a cannonball, enough to show the shock of Philip V, almost wanting to throw himself in front of his prime minister to question him.

"Your Majesty, just two days ago, the allied forces of the Boyin tribes had conquered the Maza Fortress in the northwest of Kaman, and Murmansk, the most important city in the north of the Kaman people, was also besieged by the Boyin army. The northern region has now been completely controlled by the Baiyin people. The Kaman people's war in the south is also not going well. Fanlin City was attacked by Li Wufeng's most powerful First Army. The battle was unprecedentedly tragic, and the Kaman people fought very hard , Mailey was already a bit unable to support his posture, and Claudia's Kaman Royal Guard encountered the most tenacious resistance of the Xijiang people west of Fanlin, and still failed to open a breakthrough, and the battle was in a stalemate; in the south In the Beiyuan area, the Puer people are also under siege, and now they can't get out, and in the opinion of my subordinates, I'm afraid it's too bad." Pokaninski looked worried, and this once closest ally has now turned against his neighbor. The country is now in such a state, it is really emotional," Prime Minister Gomez has formally submitted his resignation to Delica II two days ago, and resigned as Prime Minister, and now Prime Minister Kaman is held by Duke Vasili , the Duke of Knox is the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is estimated that there will be a huge adjustment in the foreign policy of the Kaman people. Now the special envoy sent by Knox is already on the way, and he probably wants to ask us to intervene in mediation with the Tanghe people. War."

"Is it too late for them to adjust now? Now that the Baiyin people have swept across the north, they have posed a serious threat to the survival of the entire Kaman Empire. Now the Kaman people are facing enemies on both sides. Their country is about to die, and they are still in civil strife , Isn’t that self-defeating? Mediation? What did you do long ago? Mediating now, Li Wufeng will be so obedient and listen to us?” Philip V was fully awake, staring at his prime minister, obviously meaning Something to point to.

"Yes, but Kaman's military campaign has suffered such a big failure this time. The loss of soldiers and generals and the waste of money and food have caused complaints from the people in the country. If Gomez does not step down, he may not be able to explain to the country. His voluntary request for resignation is also forced As a last resort, if he continues to persist, I am afraid that the nobles in the country will impeach him immediately, or he will have to be tried in court. If he voluntarily resigns and steps down with dignity, the nobles in the country will not be too **** him." Pokanen Although Ski is at odds with the opponent in terms of domestic and foreign policies, he still admires the opponent's great talent and strategy. At least he can make Kaman the number one power among the Liberian countries. In Pokaninski's view, even if it is its military strategy He is a little too eager for success, but this does not affect his great contribution to the strength of the Kaman Empire.

"Your Majesty, it's time for us to respond. If we don't express anything, I'm afraid the overall situation has been settled, and we will be powerless." Pokaninski further advised.

Nodding silently, Philip V's thin face is serious and solemn. He has already felt the heavy weight of his prime minister's words. What should the Sithrow Empire do under the current situation? It's time to make a decision. This is related to the future changes of his country's diplomacy and even national policy. He can't be careless.

"Ai Qing means that we should join the Tanghe camp to share a share of the trouble, or help the Kaman people stabilize the situation?"

"Your Majesty, although the behavior of the Kaman people a few days ago was hateful, they were personal actions after all, and cannot be regarded as a change in Kaman's entire national policy. We cannot use personal likes and dislikes as the basis for specifying policies. The current situation must be in line with the interests of our empire. Kaman must not subjugate the country, we must ensure the existence of the Kaman Empire, not only to ensure its existence, but also to preserve its strength and foundation from being overly weakened as much as possible , only in this way can Li Wufeng be unable to form a dominance of one party, and we can have more say. Now that the Puer people are too busy to take care of themselves, and the Doton people are unable to intervene. Only we can play a role. Even if we tear ourselves apart with Li Wufeng, we will We must insist on this point!" The continuous series of fierce words made Pokaninski's face slightly red, and only by letting His Majesty recognize the current situation and eliminate His Majesty's concerns can His Majesty make up his mind to make a decision.

Philip V fell into silence. He didn't know the impact of the Kaman situation on his own country. The rapid expansion of Li Wufeng's strength made everyone around him shudder. They all hoped that Li Wufeng could fight in this war In the early stage, the garrison on the eastern border was consciously reduced to free up the third Kaman Corps in the border area that had been stationed all along, which meant that, but they did not expect the Kaman people to fall so quickly. I don't believe that Gomez didn't play tricks on the Boyin people, but it is obvious that Li Wufeng has cracked Gomez's strategy, and the strong military strength mobilized by Xijiang has indeed made people see the comprehensive strength of Xijiang today. It has steadily surpassed any country or force around it.

But secret support is one thing. It is difficult for Philip V to make up his mind to make the empire directly turn against Xijiang. He knows the foundation of the empire, and so does Pokaninski. The adjustment of the policy has also encountered a severe drought that has never happened in a century. If it is not for the support of the Western Xinjiang, I don’t know what the empire will look like. My country is not as strong as the Kaman people, and there are too many factors that are restrained. The consequences of the hostility in western Xinjiang can be imagined. Whether it will affect the survival of his own country, Philip V has been thinking for a long time and is still unable to determine this step.

"Aiqing, have you considered, if we step forward, what kind of reaction will Xijiang side have? Even if Li Wufeng doesn't have more power to deal with us now, what about the future? The way to restore and develop the economy ~IndoMTL.com~ suddenly turned against Xijiang, an important economic and trade partner, and what a sequelae it will bring to our country.”

"Your Majesty, no matter how many negative impacts there are, we must help the Kaman people! We can tighten our belts, we can suffer for two years, and we can also let our economy take a few steps back. It is not enough to shake our foundation, but once Kaman perishes, it will be our turn and the people of Puer next! This is our bottom line of principle, and we must not back down!" Pokaninski replied decisively.

Let out a long breath. This is another extremely difficult job. The scale needs to be just right, otherwise the empire will fall into a state of uncontrollable damage if you are not careful. Philip V is a little tired Head: "You go ahead. I will instruct the military to mobilize the army immediately. In terms of diplomacy, you arrange someone to negotiate immediately. No, it is best that you come forward to coordinate. In addition, the necessary food reserves must be guaranteed to prevent Xijiang from mobilizing us. blockade; the Baiyin side immediately issued the strongest wording to them, demanding that they withdraw from the Kamanian territory immediately, otherwise they will face war! The Western Xinjiang side, uh, must be firm, but the language must be relaxed, so that the Kaman people The Kamans immediately sent out a signal for peace, so we could intervene earlier, er, tell the Kamanians that they must pay a lot, but we will do our best to protect their interests, I hope things are not at their worst yet, I don't want to see a real confrontation between us and Xijiang."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best, and I will send people to Poole immediately, asking them to coordinate with us in order to control the situation to the best possible extent." Pokaninski Biting his lips and nodding heavily, His Majesty's words contained deep meaning, and he could appreciate the weight of these words.
