in the name of the queen.

Chapter 290 No need for a buffer zone now
No one knew what Roland wanted to do.

After receiving his handwritten letter, the heads of state of several major countries were a little confused and could not understand Roland's intentions at all.

Alina read the autographed letter carefully several times to confirm that it was Roland's handwriting. She hesitated again and again, not because she felt sorry for the land on the west bank of Lake Vaal, but she was more worried about Roland's mental state.

The cost of land management on the west bank of Vaal Lake even exceeds the output, and the geographical location is not very good, so it is basically useless.

Since Roland wants it, then give it to her.

After thinking again and again, Alina picked up the quill and wrote a sentence.

"as you wish."

After writing these words, Alina bit her lip and thought for a long time before writing the signature.

"Yours faithfully

——Alina. "

She drew colorful symbols on this map to record the territorial changes of the countries in the Rodinian continent over the years.

War will eventually come.

Because I don’t know whether to write friend or ally in front of my name, I simply write nothing.

History has proven more than once that the expedition to Fort Saint-Rulic was the most foolish act.

The word "ally" is a bit too cold, and the word "friend" doesn't have enough gold.

He wants home field advantage.

Since the Continental Treaty expired, those small countries finally understood one thing. What protects them is never a neutral stance, but the need for a buffer zone for big countries.

After handing the autographed envelope to the State Secretary, Alina came to the large map hanging behind her desk and stared at the map in deep thought.

The Continental Treaty has ended and the Day of Return is approaching. What major powers need is no longer a buffer zone, but a wider living space.

Almost every powerful power and nation has touched the Oracle.

If the goddess doesn't say anything, the people below can only guess. However, no matter how you guess, there is no result.

Alina's eyes wandered around the map for a long time, vaguely guessing some of Roland's thoughts.

Roland helped the Vaal city-state recover, of course, not because he was peace-loving, but because it was profitable.

It's not that the mainland treaty is bad, but that the ship ticket to the divine domain is more cost-effective.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the people who created the problem. This is the general solution that people have used when facing problems throughout the ages.

What constitutes piety, the goddess did not say clearly.

Not to mention just the land on the west bank of Lake Vaal, even if it was more, she would find a way to get it for Roland.

Only the strong are qualified to survive. After all, a goddess doesn’t need a bunch of trash, right?

In the past three years, more than fifteen small and medium-sized countries have disappeared in the long history of history, and the city-state of Vaal is the first.

The goddess will come before the world is destroyed and take away the devout believers.

Since he couldn't guess his fame, the only way left was to kill people who might be more pious than him.

The long supply lines and the fearsome Winter General will treat every tough enemy equally, especially the terrible transportation roads of the Vladimir Empire.

Being backward is sometimes a weapon.

Only by forcing the terrifying Rurik Legion out of their lair can they have a chance of victory.

Roland helped the Vaal city-state recover, which was an honest conspiracy.

He set up a ring in the city of Vaal, challenged the enemy, and waited for the enemy to come.

Will Sophia accept the offer?
Alina smiled and changed the question mark into an exclamation mark.

Of course Sophia will take it up, she has never been afraid of a challenge.

Looking at the map again, Alina saw an old and huge country.

Wende Empire.

This is a country with a vast territory, a large population, a long history, and was once powerful. However, in the past 100 years or so, this country has had several weak kings in a row, throwing the country into chaos.

As the royal family's popularity waned, power gradually shifted to Parliament.

This was originally nothing. The imperial power and the power of the parliament were already at odds. In many countries, if there was a weak king, the parliament and cabinet would take power, and if there was a wise king, power would return to the emperor.

If it were just like this, the Wende Empire wouldn't be too miserable. However, the Wende Parliament made earth-shattering moves.

One-vote veto system.

As long as one senior member of Parliament disagrees, major matters cannot be implemented.

This includes abolishing the one-vote veto system.

One-vote veto is not the problem, the problem is that there are too many people who are eligible to use it.

In recent decades, the entire Wende Empire has been in a state of serious chaos. Any changes that affect interests will be ruthlessly rejected by Parliament.

Even plans to build warships will be opposed.

The reason for the objection of the army master is simple. Although the Wende Empire is a coastal country, its coastline is not too long and there are only two or three deep-water harbors. It is better to abandon the ocean and defend the land to the death.

If you put forward such a stupid proposal, you would probably lose your head in Sussex and Jinyuan, but in the Wende Empire, it was passed openly.

With such people in power, it is a miracle that the country has survived until now.

But these good times won't last long.

It has been more than a year since the border conflict between the Pruden Kingdom and the Wende Empire. The Wende Empire had a large army but could not mobilize it well. It was turned around by the numerically inferior Pruden army and had lost half of its province.

Although this little territory is nothing to the Wende Empire, this conflict exposed the weak nature of the Wende Empire.

The bloodthirsty wolf will not hesitate to reach out its claws to its weakened prey.

God cannot see blood, and the same goes for great nations.

The Wende Empire is the first to see blood, and will naturally be the first to die.

Alina picked up a pen dipped in vermilion ink and drew a blood-red X on the Wende Empire on the map.

The Weimar Confederation was drawn earlier than the Wende Empire.

Then she drew a few more strokes, marking Thalia's kingdom in red.

These countries all have problems of one kind or another, and most of them will withdraw from the stage of history.

Immediately afterwards, she hesitated for a long time between the Kingdom of Pruden and the Kingdom of Tyrol, marking the question mark representing the unknown.

These two countries have great strength and are on the rise. Unfortunately, their territory is not vast enough and their resources cannot be self-sufficient. Unless a miracle occurs, they cannot break the situation.

What's more, although they all come from the Odin Empire, they also have conflicts with each other.

Who can represent Odin? This is a problem.

so.
Alina thought for a long time, her face gradually becoming serious.

These two countries, plus the Weimar Federation, have the same roots. If a hero emerges to unify these three countries, a behemoth will be born in Central Rodinia.

There are only two and a half top players, Sussex and Vladimir Empire count as two, and the Golden Kite Republic, which is still in the recovery period, can only count as half.

If the countries that were separated from the old Odin Empire were reunited, their strength would also be among the best.

Alina drew the outline of Odin's empire and her expression became more solemn.

No, absolutely not.

Three powerful countries in this world are already too many, and there is no room for a fourth.

She quickly recalled the Secretary of State, rewrote the handwritten letter, presented her complete analysis, and reminded Roland to prevent the resurrection of the Odin Empire.

After sealing the letter written in secret language again, Alina finally felt relieved.

No matter what Roland wants to do, she will support it.

I just don’t know if Roland is ready for Sophia to come to the battlefield.
