Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 195: International Diplomacy

"Ku, ku, ku ... I was on the good side. King Almus."

After returning to the palace, King Faldham laughed and asked his aides for consent.

The aides nod quietly.

"Yes, that king will also reflect on this."

King Faldham proposed the Adelnian Liberation War for several reasons.

One, purely territorial expansion.

King Faldham's country is surrounded by Roselle in the north, Gilbed in the south, and Domorgar in the east.

There is no room to expand the territory because the omnidirectional power is equal to or greater than your own country.

There is no future in King Faldham's country unless it is organized by the Allies.

The second reason is to exhaust the kingdom of Rosais and put moxibustion on King Almus at the same time.

King Almus has expanded the territory to a great extent by using the anti-Galic alliance.

To be clear, there is nothing more irritating.

However, it is difficult to compete with Roselle without the military power of King Rosais.

However, it is not possible to keep watching the growth of the kingdom of Rossais.

I had to take measures.

However, it is not a man to stop the conquest business.

At that time, young people tend to be arrogant if they can do anything. If you put pressure on it, you could say that you will break out of the Alliance with Galia.

King Faldham appreciated King Almus.

That's why we can't stand hostile and prevent further growth.

Disrupt the conquest business while not opposing King Almus from the front.

The solution to this is the Adelnian Liberation War.

It is clear that King Almus wants to maintain the anti-Galic alliance for the conquest business.

Military action cannot take place as long as there is a back worry.

If we were to send 30,000 or 40,000 troops to King Almus, he would definitely withdraw from the Alliance with Gaul.

But King Faldham demanded around 10,000 troops.

In addition, he stipulated that the war was only for two years.

That would be acceptable.

King Rossais's nation has strengthened its diplomatic voice by maintaining its leadership position in the Anti-Galic Alliance.

King Almus must have an anti-Galic alliance.

In addition, the sublime cause of liberation of the Adernians is raised, and if the other two countries pass in favor, King Almus is not disliked.

As long as he continues his conquest business, King Almus will have to slam himself into a profitless war in order to maintain the anti-Galic alliance.

But King Almus is not without profit.

Land allocation is determined by discussions and the activities of each country.

King Almus also gains the land of Roselle.

Although King Almus has demanded money, not land.

However, it can be expected that expenditures, whether money or land, will be more expensive.

I hope this will stop the growth of the kingdom of Rosais.

King Almus will also be remorseful if the conquering business goes badly.

And the third reason.

It is centralized.

If the opponent becomes the Roselle kingdom, it will cost a great deal even though it is the Fourth Union.

It would be great if the sacrifice included the royal family and their sons.

Then you can confine their territory.

At present, King Falderm's territory is less than one-fifth of the country.

The goal is to bring this to at least one third.

"Falderm says something interesting."

King Gilbed smiles happily.

Bring a glass of Rosais wine to your mouth and drink a sip.

"... but the king. The opponent is that great power, Roselle. How can you easily win despite the Fourth Union?"

"What are you saying? In the previous battle, Rosais and Demorgar would have defeated Roselle alone. With the addition of Faldham and Guilbed, there would always be a win. Now there is no general Kryu or the abominable witch."

An aide appears to be anxious to King Gilbed's optimistic answer.

However, King Gilbed did not pay close attention to his entourage and issued his order.

"Contact the royals in the country. It's a war. If anyone refused to send troops, they would go to Roselle. Tell them that if they didn't send troops, they would destroy them."

"……Yes, I understand"

"Is that good?-King"

"It's a story that is profitable for our country. Even so, we were greatly separated by national power from the three countries in the civil war. If we do not recover it, it will not be helped? It certainly bought the depression of King Almus Is tasty ... "

King Domorgar-Carlo was discussing with the great general of the king of Domorgar-Tonino about the Adelnian Liberation War.

Two weeks before the talks, King Faldham introduced the Adelnian Liberation War.

Carlo and Tonino bothered their heads.

This war is clearly a provocation to King Almus.

If you continue to be a friendly nation of King Rossais, you should disagree.

However……

"Isn't it impossible to look at Rossi's complexion in the first place?"

"You're right."

Until a while ago, Domorgar was a major power in the Adernia Peninsula.

I will always look at the emergence of emerging nations ... If I do that, I will not be able to face my ancestors.

"Take this opportunity to expand your territory and promote centralization. Tonino, you'll do your best ... Don't lose to General Bartolo."

"Oh ... well, Rossi will just fight wars ... and hope for this one."

"Huh ... it's been troublesome ..."

Adernian Liberation War.

Invades the kingdom of Roselle under the name of a cause to release the Adernians held by the Gauls.

Indeed, it may be possible with the Allies.

It seems that Roselle is now putting his heart on repressing civil strife in the northern region.

It will cost a lot of money.

But the return is great. ... except in Japan.

"For the time being, territorial ceding has been kicked away. Can such a remote territory be maintained?"

Far from profits, it costs maintenance.

Now he is busy with southern rule. There was no human or financial time to govern the enclave, though not very much.

"I've been demanding money instead. This avoids a big deficit. The deficit is fixed."

"... By the way, how many troops do you convince the nations?"

"At least I'll give you 10,000!-It was like air."

Dispatches 10,000 great troops for a long time and far away.

How much money do you need ...

"When will you be dispatched?"

"It's spring next year ... it's going to be winter soon now."

Now is August.

From now on, if we can recruit quickly, it will be in September by the time the four nations can consolidate the entire army.

After two months, the army will be unable to move.

It is a suicide act, such as performing a military operation in winter, in a land that is not even familiar.

"By the way ... do you win or lose?"

Here's the point of Raymond's question.

Do you want to increase the national power of the three Adernia countries or maintain the national power of Roselle?

If the strength of the three Adernia countries rises and the power of Roselle declines, the significance of the Alliance against Gallia diminishes, and the international status of King Rosais declines.

On the other hand, if the three countries lose and lose, and Rosell's national strength is maintained ...

In some cases, some country may be destroyed by Roselle.

If that happens, it will not be the case if you are doing western conquest.

"The winner is the one with less risk. If you lose and withdraw, you will have to pay, and it will take some time for the newly acquired territory to get a proper tax."

Just because you have gained territory does not mean that your national strength will rise immediately.

You have to make some investment in the newly acquired land.

Therefore, the national power of the three countries will not rise immediately.

Rather, it will cost money to run the land and temporarily reduce national power. The conquest business is such a thing.

Well, as far as the Southern expedition is concerned, there is no maintenance fee because it is an alliance with a city-state.

"But this Liberation War may be stalled at the last minute."

"... can you do that?"

"Good luck"

I told Bartolo the secret to defeating the Liberation War.

Bartolo smiles with a bitter smile.

"It's also ... terrible."

"The first thing I did was Falderm, and that's bad."

Nevertheless, this measure is unlikely to succeed and has a high risk.

For now, let's take a policy of participating in the Liberation War.

However, I do not intend to waste time holding my fingers.

"King Falderm may be in the way of my western conquest, but it's good, I'll take it. Let's expand our territory as much as possible this year."

Start the second western conquest.

Former residence of the former Mieharis family. A total of 24,000 troops were gathered at the base of the western conquest.

Ron, Rosward, and Gram each lead 8,000 soldiers.

The outline of this western conquest is to destroy each one.

The western lords have very few troops, and if they form a coalition, they will reach 10,000 or not at all.

But 10,000 is still a threat.

That's why Ial cracked each country in diplomatic negotiations ...

Attack from three directions at once.

Now it is mid August.

Fortunately, the southern Adernia peninsula is warm, so war is possible until the end of October.

In about two months, you can quickly add the territory to the border promised by King Gilbed.

In addition, it is the cause of war ...

This is retaliation for the invasion of some Western nations into the Christian nations under our alliance.

Well, it seems that this is happening every month in a little skirmish ...

Alms doesn't care about that.

Let the troops pass because they will attack some of those countries. By the way, bring in your supplies. Also, take part in the war.

Of course, the nations have slashed all demands of the domineering army (the king of Rosais).

But this choice is not clever.

Almus is looking for the cause of war.

An invasion is unavoidable if you take the position of hostile to the kingdom of Rossais.

Thus, Alums declared, "Defeat the unreachables who have reached out to our friends in the country. Anyone who disturbs and does not cooperate along the way will also be defeated," and declared war on the western countries.

That's a bit brute force.

However, Almus wants to fight before more than 10,000 soldiers disappear from the country in the war against the Kingdom of Roselle.

However, it is dangerous to end the conquest in two months without any action.

So, Almus and Bartolo have taken one step.

that is……

"Good !!!! The army that has defeated so many countries in this war has a lot of rewards ... Gold and land are promised !!!! The first army to win!"

As Ron shouts at the soldiers, the soldiers cheer.

At the same time, cheers can be heard from a distance.

Gram and Rosward addressed the same to Ron.

In fact, many of the soldiers participating in the war are the second and third sons of peasants and farmers.

Almus dared to do that.

Of course, only those who can stock or borrow weapons for heavy infantry.
