Chapter 99 The war is approaching
Annie's concern is chaotic, and it is difficult for her to stand outside and see the cause and effect of the whole thing, as well as the meaning behind it, like Daliang in the game.
He has great achievements that shock the master, and he is a taboo for serving the king as a minister.
But in the face of unparalleled achievements, how many people can retreat bravely and return halfway while reaching the peak of their lives?
Anne knew how much pressure her father had to face in this position, and continuing to move forward might be an abyss that would never be restored. Taking the initiative to resign can naturally save her life, but she will be far away from the political arena of the Florminke Empire in this life.
The Marquis of Whitehead is now in the golden age of politics, and the empire is about to face a major turning point at this time. The Hundred Years War was still talked about two hundred years later. The heroes that emerged during that period were recorded in history and became legends.
If the Empire can win this turning point in its national destiny, then as Governor of Marcelus, the light of Marquis Whitehead will cover the imperial emperor and become the most dazzling figure in this history.
At this time, Anne remembered what her father once said to her, "Your Majesty is willing to take risks for the country's fate, what reason do I have to not accompany Your Majesty?"
Only now did Annie realize the intention of her father's words.
On the issue of Marcelus, Marquis Whitehead was walking on thin ice. He wanted to actively strengthen the power of the empire in Marcelus, and to prevent his own people from being stabbed in the back at all times.
If the alchemy props that expel the undead were handed over to the empire, the variables caused will increase significantly. Especially... what changes will occur in the imperial emperor's thoughts.
In short... in the current situation, Marquis Whitehead will never take the initiative to get out of this position, nor will anyone threaten his position.
After thinking about it so much, Annie's mood was a little better.
"Thank you for your words to me... My father did the right thing. Those alchemy equipment should not appear at this time. I think my father will take it out and dedicate it to the empire when he needs this batch of alchemy equipment the most."
Although Daliang comforted Nie so much, he didn't think so completely.
Marquis Whitehead concealed the alchemy equipment that could drive away the undead from the Emperor, which meant that the Empire would have to make greater sacrifices to support the possible outbreak of the Marcelus War. From this incident, Daliang could not see the loyalty of Marquis Whitehead to the Empire... He could deceive the emperor who swore allegiance to his reputation or other things. He could use any means to ignore the lives and death of the lower-class officers and soldiers and the people.
Will such a person give up everything he has after reaching the peak of his life?
It is difficult for powerful ministers and emperors to start and end well... Rebellion and usurpation of the throne are sometimes the paths that powerful ministers have to take in the end.
Daliang didn't say this, he didn't want to have too much influence on Annie. And he knew that Annie would definitely think of this, but she was just unwilling to think about it.
So Daliang said: "Some things and some people are not something we can influence. This situation... let it develop and actively prepare plans is the best choice.
Marcelus and Florminke, no matter how far they can go in the end, the Death Desert will always be a barrier between them.
And this desert has its own land.”
This was the first time Daliang declared his sovereignty over the Death Desert to Anne. He also hinted that as long as he wanted, the passage between Marcelus and Flormink could be sealed at any time. The destiny of the Flormink Empire was actually in his hands. As long as he wanted, the Flormink Empire could be allowed to agree to many, many conditions at any time.
It is naturally very simple to keep the Whitehead family.
Of course, Anne knew very well...it was definitely not free.
"Mr. Liang, do you need me to pay?"
Daliang smiled: "It's too sad to talk about the price now. Maybe the day we want to do this transaction will not appear. And you can rest assured that what I want must be something you can afford.
Come and have a drink.
Then let go of the matter of the alchemy equipment for the time being. You are now an officer of the Imperial Navy. A naval battle is approaching. First, think about how to resist the attacks of the navy of the Eastern countries."
Daliang led the topic to the impending maritime invasion that the Imperial Navy is about to face.
The eastern coast of the Order Continent is prosperous, with many countries, and backed by the ocean, and has outstanding maritime power. Although no country in the East can fight against the Florminke Empire alone on land, the navy will choose any of them as the "dad-level" of the empire.
Because of Marcelus' autonomy, the Eastern countries that have been inherited have not imposed a blockade on Marcelus on the ocean. If the empire takes back Marcelus, it will definitely be blocked by the Eastern countries.
This is the background of the empire's urgent and forming a large fleet.
The Florminke Empire wanted its own maritime power, and the Eastern countries would definitely bully the small and nipples the imperial fleet in its infancy.
This maritime battle will definitely be fought, and it will start soon.
Then the parliament took the opportunity to obtain public support from the Eastern countries and set off the Marcel war.
Therefore, how can this naval battle be fought directly determines where the empire is in the Marcelus War.
Win... The Flormink Empire became a maritime power in one fell swoop and could directly threaten the land of the Eastern countries from the ocean. Then the Eastern countries would be very cautious on the issue of Marcelus and would not even provide support to the Marcelus parliament. Without external aid, the power of the parliament could be quickly extinguished by the Emperor, and then the empire would truly take Marcelus into cysts.
Of course, this situation will not happen. An emerging navy that has not touched a warship is not as strong as this. No matter how good the warship is, it still needs to be driven.
Defeat... The Flormink Empire Navy Fleet was completely wiped out, and all the offshore were shrouded under artillery by the fleets of the Eastern countries. Then the Eastern countries would support the Marcelese Parliament without reservation, provide money, weapons, and even send troops directly.
In this way, the empire will face the situation during the Hundred Years' War, but the current empire does not have the cohesion of the Hundred Years' War. The famous musketeers and cavalry regiments on the mainland will not have the glory of that time when facing more advanced weapons.
The best situation is that the Imperial Navy can protect itself with the support of the offshore defense system and protect several important coastal cities, including Saroyan. In this way, the Florminke Empire can contact other countries that have no disputes of interest with the Empire through the ocean, and can use some transactions to obtain support from overseas countries.
