"The alliance is mobilizing comprehensively? Judging from the current situation, this is not a good idea, and even if it is mobilized, it is too late. At present, the relationship between the Augsburg Empire and the Famini Empire and the alliance has not improved substantially, and the threat to our western region is still huge. The only thing that has improved is that the plunder of the nomadic people in the north seems to have been slightly eased. It is funny that this phenomenon depends on the conquest of Luo Beiren by Li Wufeng. However, Luo Beiren is now preparing for war with the support of the Tang people, and it seems that he is also planning to join the Tang people's camp and act as the vanguard of the Tang people's invasion of the west. Our north may be in peace again."

Another shriveled old man who was gently massaged his body, with silver hair, was quite energetic, but his face looked a little more dusk. This was Duke Franklin, the Director of the Alliance Taxation and Finance Services Department, and a nobleman with an influential presence in the Alliance, from the Principality of Salzburg, one of the three giants of the Alliance. The finances of the Alliance countries were not unified and were still managed by themselves, but they had to pay a fee every year to spend the Alliance organization. The internal and external customs policies were formulated by the heads of the Alliance countries and handed over to the Alliance Taxation and Finance Services Department for implementation.

"Then Lord Franklin, do you mean we will withdraw from the West Indian and Germans?" Marquis Saltz was a little dissatisfied with this. He finally extended the power of the alliance to the Central Continent, but now he was forced to retract. He paid such a large price but did not get much valuable reward. This is probably difficult to explain to the countries of the alliance. The other party should also be clear about this principle.

"No, no, in that case, I'm afraid that no one here can face the heads of the alliance countries, and I have no face to return to my hometown of Salzburg." Shaking my head, Duke Franklin expressed his objection, "I mean that the West Indian and German areas are too vast and the defense line is too long. Our existing forces do not allow us to put all our troops there, but the Tang army has gathered heavy troops in that area, so this phenomenon occurs. We can shrink the defense line, give up some secondary areas, ensure one or two areas that are more important to us, and at the same time increase the number of them.

A part of the army is invested to ensure our existence in several key areas, such as Destan, which is the passage for our alliance to enter the Central Continent. In addition, like Fahan, Deshin and Mana, we can also choose to have one or two. I believe that if we demonstrate our military strength, the Tang people should be able to reach a compromise with us. I heard that Li Wufeng's purpose is also to obtain an outlet in the Baltic Sea. If his request is met, at least to a certain extent, it will fill his appetite. They may accept our peace demands."

"Duke Franklin, you probably don't know much about Li Wufeng. His appetite is probably not something that can be satisfied at the Baltic estuary. Perhaps the entire Indian and Germans are his purpose. We retreat like this may only stimulate his appetite." Marquis Saltz shook his head. He did not agree with the other party's views. The other party has a say in many affairs of the alliance, but he does not know enough about the strong man in the East, nor does he realize how dangerous the other party is. In this regard, Saltz believes that he has a say more than the other party, although he respects this influential politician in the alliance.

"Marquis Saltz, what should we do according to your opinion? The alliance is fully mobilized? Is it time to do it? How will the people think? We have already obtained all the wealth we need in Western India and Germany, sowing the seeds of the Holy Spirit. Now it is time to wait for the seeds to take root and sprout, instead of conquering them by force, which will only arouse greater disgust and anger among the fools in the local area. Let the entire army of the standing army enter? Not to mention whether it can remedy the current disadvantages, there is no mobile force in hand. How can we deal with any abnormal movements in the north or the west?" Duke Franklin was very calm. He closed his eyes and asked faintly.

Duke Franklin's rhetoric made the Director of the Alliance's Foreign Affairs Office a little embarrassed. The other party's question reached the weakness of the Alliance. The princes and nobles of the northern and western countries were not very interested in controlling the land of the Western Indians and Germans. Of course, they were still very yearning for seizing the wealth accumulated by the nobles of the Western Indians and Germans over the past few hundred years, so they took the opportunity to enter with the help of the Holy Spirit Church in Western Indians and Germans, but the wealth had been obtained.

The main purpose has been achieved, and their focus has returned to their own security. The heavy military force in the border areas of the Augsburg Empire and the Famini Empire are what they are most worried about. The threat of the nomadic people to the northern countries has been eased for a period of time. They will spare no effort to fight against enemies that endanger the security of the members of the alliance, but they may not agree to let them put too much troops into the West Indian and Germans.

"I agree with the Duke of Franklin. There are six provinces in the West Indian and German region, and their land area is equivalent to one-third of the land of our alliance countries, which is equivalent to the Duchy of Hanover and the Duchy of Salzburg. It is extremely unfavorable for our defense. For the Tang army, it can launch attacks at will. However, many places on this land are deserts and Gobi, such as Kerman, Fahan, and Mana. Our military operations in this area have always been restrained by the rebellious organizations of the lower classes. They often create riots and attack me.

Our army, but we cannot fight as regular enemy troops, hiding among the lower class, relying on their cover to harass us, especially in the two provinces of Kerman and Fahan. If we shrink our defense, we can concentrate our efforts to eliminate these damn flies, and the influence of the Holy Spirit Church in the two provinces of Destan and Deshin is much greater, and it is easier for us to obtain support in these two places, and controlling these two regions also ensures that the alliance still has a certain influence and voice in the Central Continent."

The support of the military commander gave Franklin's opinion the upper hand. Although Marquis Saltz was unwilling to accept it, he could not disrespect the other party's opinions. Moreover, in addition to the Principality of Hanover's support for sending troops to the West Indian and Germans, the countries in the south of the alliance were more concerned about the harassment of Constantines and pirates at sea. The alliance had too many security hot spots that needed attention. In contrast, in their minds, the West Indian and Germans were just a one-time treasure cave. After the wealth was seized, it seemed that they could be left alone. The secular princes and nobles were far less interested in educating the pagans on that land than the Holy Spirit Church.

A carriage quietly arrived at the most famous Kitana Manor in the suburbs of Goa. It is a famous exclusive leisure resort in the southern Indian and Dean region. It belongs to the former private ownership of the Tik royal family. However, after the Tik royal family fled, it was confiscated by the Luzon Governor's Office in the Southern Indian and Dean region, becoming a gathering place for senior officials in the Southern Indian and Dean region of the Luzon Kingdom. The situation in the Southern Indian and Dean region has not yet stabilized. The Luzonians still arranged a considerable number of guard troops around the Kitana manor, and today it seems more warranted, but even the commander of the army responsible for the guarding here is not clear about the purpose of General Kroof's request for increased alertness, so he could only faithfully execute the order.

A series of water drop-shaped lakes with elegant environments are like the springs that God has sowed on the land of De'an in South India. According to legends from the Indians, this is the God of Harvest and the God of Water who is fighting for the right to worship this land. In order to show off his abilities, the God of Water sprinkles a few drops of holy water on the land of De'an in South India. The lake is deep and quiet, and the water is as clear as blue. It also changes into different colors with the changes in weather and sunlight. It is light green, turquoise, emerald blue, dark blue, light purple, and changes thousands of times. Surrounded by the forests on the lakeside, the vast and vast ancient trees are endless. They have never been destroyed due to the defense of the Tik Guards, so they are named "Emerald Necklace" of De'an in South India.

Among the more than ten lakes in the entire emerald necklace, except for the largest Eternal Lake, which is open to the public, allowing ordinary people to come here to bathe in holy water to wash their sins, more than ten lakes are strictly prohibited from entering. The Tyck soldiers have always faithfully implemented this policy. It was not until the Luzons took over the full power of the place and opened three of the more remote lakes to the people, allowing ordinary people to come here to bathe. This also won a lot of favor for the Luzons among the middle and lower class people of Tik.

However, in a series of the most beautiful lakes near the Kitana Manor, the Luzons still followed the original practices of the Tiks, proclaiming that it was a forbidden area and prohibiting ordinary people from entering and leaving. Except for the senior officials of Luzon, only the Tik nobles who had already surrendered to the Luzons could enjoy it.

The carriage drove into the Kittena Manor, which had never been opened since the Luzons took over the manor and went deep into the depths of the manor before stopping. The soldiers guarded around were surprised to find that the one who came out of the carriage was their great Marshal Frederick. The newspapers said that he was inspecting the Komini area in the Comine, how could he appear here today? However, no one was surprised. They knew that they should keep their mouths tight on this, otherwise what would be waiting for them would be military law.
