Chapter 1454
The news from the imperial capital is still relatively optimistic. His Majesty the Emperor clearly rejected his own ideas without succumbing to the pressure of government officials. It should be said that this vague request can be regarded as an ban. Since he has the right to act in a specific environment, the explanation that can be used for this aspect is too broad. Thinking of this, Cui Wenxiu couldn't help but smile proudly.
Cui Wenxiu's attitude is very clear on whether to deal with the Sioran and the Jutlands first or the Hansen Alliance. That is, it depends on the situation. The main factor that needs to be considered is the relationship between the Hansen Alliance and their strong neighbors in the west. If the relationship between the Augsburg Empire and the Famini Empire and the Hansen Alliance continues to deteriorate and holds the Hansen Alliance's hands and feet, the conditions for solving the Northwest Indian and Germans will be more mature. If the Hansen Alliance can ease the relationship with these two countries, Cui Wenxiu still thinks it is more appropriate to resolve Nanmei first. In terms of combat effectiveness, Cui Wenxiu believes that it is not comparable to the Hansen Alliance. Sioran and Jutland may not have the courage to have a big battle with the Empire for Nanmei, who was originally obtained out of thin air.
The Imperial Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Agency have sent a large number of officials and spies to closely monitor the dynamics of the Hansen Alliance in the west and south. During this period, important countries in the western continent have obviously been involved in some major storms caused by some small events. It seems that the relationship between the Famini Empire and the Hansen Alliance has basically stabilized. The reason is that the Famini Empire and the Leeds Kingdom, a naval powerhouse on the western storm ocean, broke out due to the right to inspect merchant ships. The cause is simple. The Navy of the Famini Empire inspected a Leeds Kingdom merchant ship suspected of pirate ships on the high seas and detained some crew members, which immediately caused an uproar.
The Kingdom of Leeds believed that the Famini Navy seriously infringed on the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Leeds and was a malicious provocation to the state prestige of the Kingdom of Leeds. The Kingdom of Leeds immediately made the toughest diplomatic negotiations, demanding that the Famini Empire immediately release the crew members and apologize and compensate, otherwise all consequences would be borne. Although the Famini Empire released the crew members after the investigation by the internal department, it refused to apologize and compensate. They believed that the merchant ship was suspected of providing supplies and selling stolen goods to the pirates, but they released the crew members only because there was no definite evidence and the relationship between the two countries was considered, and the behavior of the captain and crew members of the ship was recorded in the files of the Famini Empire's internal department.
The quarrel between the two countries caused the tension between the two countries to worsen, which also led to the Leeds Kingdom issuing an ultimatum. As a forceful show, the Leeds Kingdom greatly increased its garrison in the disputed Anjou territory on the northwest corner of the Laia Continent. The number of troops garrisons increased from the usual 30,000 to 100,000, and the number of naval stationed exponentially. In addition, the Leeds Kingdom and the Baroque Kingdom to the south of the Famini Empire, which made the sense of crisis of the Famini Empire suddenly highlighted. Therefore, in a strategic need, the Famini Empire took the initiative to ease the relationship with the Hansen Alliance in the east.
However, the relationship between the Hansen Alliance and the Augsburg Empire became worsened due to the failure of the marriage with the Grand Duke of Cologne, an important member of the southern member of the Hansen Alliance. Princess Hillen, a royal member of the Augsburg Empire, and the marriage between Princess Hillen and Grand Duke Campbell II failed. Campbell II announced that Princess Hillen's marriage was terminated and the inheritance rights of a son and abolished the inheritance rights of Princess Hillen's son and daughter, which angered Princess Hillen's cousin, Cromwell, the emperor of the Augsburg Empire... Franz, he threatened that this decision was an insult to the Augsburg Empire.
Insult, if Campbell does not take back his decision, the Augsburg Empire's army will use force to prove that Augsburg maintains the honor of the Franz family. However, Grand Duke Campbell received unanimous support from the countries and cities in the southern part of the Alliance. They were long dissatisfied with the tough style of the Augsburg Empire. Due to the complex marriage relationship, the Augsburg Empire has been provoking discord in the southern part of the Alliance and attempting to divide and disintegrate the alliance. This has long aroused the vigilance of the countries in the southern part of the Alliance, so they took this opportunity to attack the conspiracy and attempts of the Augsburg Empire.
Cui Wenxiu urgently hopes that the Augsburg Empire can declare war on the Principality of Cologne immediately. As long as the war breaks out, the Hansen Alliance will have to focus mainly on the south. The Augsburg Empire is one of the major military powers in the Western Continent. Faced with this powerful enemy, the Hansen Alliance, will have to deal with it with all its strength. It will be much less difficult for it to recover the Northwest Indian and Germans.
However, this war was not so easy to fight. The Holy Spirit Church has been reconciling the relationship between the two sides, and the envoys ran back and forth between the two sides like shuttles. The senior leaders of the Hansen Alliance also had different views on this war, especially the central and northern countries of the Hansen Alliance were very dissatisfied with this war that might be triggered by marriage, so they were also very ambiguous about the tough attitude towards the southern countries. However, for the purpose of maintaining the same voice of the alliance, they still reluctantly passed the statement supporting the Principality of Cologne, but secretly supported the Holy See to actively help reconcile the relationship between the two sides.
Cui Wenxiu did not hang himself on a rope. It is good that the war between the Augsburg Empire and the Hansen Alliance broke out, but it doesn't matter if the war cannot be fought. The imperial army has another target that can be chosen. For this target, the imperial army is already quietly preparing to raid Nanmeili.
Sioran and Jutland were obviously overjoyed at the land they picked up out of thin air, but they did not realize that their betrayal of Meli actually made the Melis who were well-off in the industry and commerce pay much more than their resentment to the empire. In their opinion, the Grand Duke of York first irrationally participated in the Southern Indian and German War, which had nothing to do with them because of their children's marriage. At this point, Meli had already lost the right way. It was understandable that the empire launched a war of revenge against Meli, and no one else could blame Melis for failing.
However, as Meli's most important ally, the Kingdom of Jutland actually joined forces with another quasi-ally Allied Kingdom of Sioran to participate in the division of Meli. This betrayal conspiracy behind the scenes made the Meli feel extremely angry, and the hatred towards Jutland and Sioran reached its peak, which can be reflected in the regional situation controlled by the Empire and Jutland and Sioran respectively. The imperial rule in the Central and North Meli region was calm, but in the South Meli region, there were many contradictions and tensions. The largest newspaper in Meli region, the Business Times, is the largest newspaper in Meli region.
》 has also been criticizing the despicable and ugly Jutlands and Siorans, demanding that the Meli business community refuse to trade with Jutland and Siorans, calling on industrial and commercial workers in the South Meli area to strike and protest the illegal occupation of the two countries, and demanding that the South Meli and the Central and North Meli reunify. This also made Jutland and Sioran very uneasy. They asked many times whether this remark was instructed by the Empire. After being clearly denied by the Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they unanimously demanded that the empire's newly appointed Meli Governor Qin Tieliu, Qin Tieliu, restrain the increasingly radical anti-Jetland and Sioran remarks.
The terrain of the Nanmeili area is flat and suitable for military use. Both the Jutlands and the Siorans ruled in this area unstable. The representatives of the Senate and Citizens of the Central and North Meli have already made Nanmeili's requests to the new Governor Qin Tieliu and Cui Wenxiu themselves many times. Qin Tieliu himself has also privately consulted Cui Wenxiu's views on this issue several times. In Cui Wenxiu's opinion, this famous Governor Meili probably supports himself in launching the war to unify Meili. A unified Meli is more in line with the interests of the empire from any angle.
The Gerok Legion has been rested and replenished and deployed to Thrace and Anatoli areas, and the 11th Legion is also hovering in the junction of Leibo Prefecture and Meli, preparing to enter the Giresong area, but Cui Wenxiu is not yet ready to issue this entry order. Once this order is issued, I am afraid that the Jutlands and the Siorans will understand what they have to do. Cui Wenxiu is still preparing to wait a little longer to see if the situation in the Hansen League has changed. If the situation does not change within a month, Cui Wenxiu is preparing to let the 11th Legion enter the Giresong area and act as a vanguard to launch the Unification Meli War. The Gerok Legion will quickly follow up to ensure that the war ends in the shortest time. The Seventh Legion is placed in Binhai County as the general reserve team, although Cui Wenxiu does not think that this reserve team will be used.
When His Majesty's secret order came to Cui Wenxiu, Cui Wenxiu's last concern was finally put down. With His Majesty's approval, he had no scruples. There were too many excuses. The people in the Central and Northern Meli region wanted to drive economic development. These could be put openly on the surface. I believe that as long as the war broke out, the representatives of the Senate and the Citizens' House of Meli in the Meli region would also give him the strongest support on behalf of the Meli people. This is also a good support for His Majesty's explanation to the Imperial Government Department.
