"I didn't expect it to be Albion... Your Excellency, it is impossible to rob it by force."
Echoing Li Lin's assessment, Tyr's discussion was clear and quite pessimistic. The elven warriors who accompanied him were not surprised by this.
They were just a few slave traders and thugs, no matter where they came from. They were just humans with short ears. They didn't have a few more arms and legs, a tail or a few tentacles, and they didn't look like them in appearance.
Are they special skill holders or magicians? Such a group of guys can cause trouble to the Colonel and Major Tire? Is the sun square today?
Simple warriors who do not understand politics habitually look at problems in terms of the balance of power. Their inner relief and disapproval are plainly displayed on their faces, and they fail to do the minimum to cover it up.[
【Should I say it is dullness, or happiness that is not in its place?】
Tyr's sharp gaze swept over his subordinates who quickly raised their heads and stood at attention, and what passed through his mind were entanglements and sighs.
[The military shall not interfere in government affairs] - This basic principle of the political system is not wrong in itself, but interpreting it as meaning that the military does not need to understand politics will cause some unnecessary problems, the most direct reaction of which is the sexual response of front-line troops
Inadequate capabilities, especially on foreign-related issues and national strategy, are particularly serious shortcomings.
Speaking of which, Ajan Toratong already has many government departments or prototypes of modern countries.
For example, an army trains its muscles and sharpens its teeth;
The Ministry of Agriculture protects the country;
the secretive Ministry of Trade and Customs;
Ministry of Health who works part-time on various types of human experiments;
The Propaganda Department has just been formed and its combat effectiveness is only 5;
The City Management Department specializes in solving demolition problems and contributing to national defense construction;
In order to unlock the crazy talent skills, the Academy of Sciences spends all its time researching basic theories.
The wet work business is fading away from chopping up a whole family with an ax or putting a horse head on a bed, and is moving towards the more professional Stasi assassination with Bulgarian umbrellas or metal salt removal with rabbit flows...
However, in addition to the above-mentioned strong units, there are also some department units that failed to be listed due to objective factors and conditions, or were in the state of short positions after being listed.
For example, because there is no outlet to the sea, it was not possible to set up a fishery and maritime surveillance system to go out to sea.
Also, due to the lack of professional talkers and core diplomatic concepts, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was originally scheduled to be a show of cuteness, only has one aunt in charge of looking after the door, and the empty room is just used to collect dust.
For elves who are dedicated to preparing to tell the world "I am cute. I have steel teeth", this is really an undue worry.
"At this stage, the main goal of our external work is to cooperate with Albion as much as possible. To contain Charlemagne, maximize our political and economic influence, and at the same time prevent Charlemagne from focusing on us.
.”
Li Lin slowly stated two highly contradictory but extremely unified strategic goals. With an enigmatic smile, he said to his subordinates outside Tire a short sentence that they were already familiar with and could initially understand:
"Hide your capabilities, bide your time, and make a difference."[
The strategic direction indicators repeatedly mentioned in strategic textbooks, manuals and various documents within the military are condensed to this short sentence.
On the one hand, they act in a secretive and low-key manner, seeking time and a stable external environment to develop and accumulate strength.
On the other hand, in order to promote development, it is necessary to expand and secure resource input channels to stimulate economic development, consolidate the economic foundation, comprehensively enhance political influence and military defense and strike capabilities, prevent the intervention of external forces, and ensure the sustainable and stable development of society.
The two sides of the coin are mutually exclusive. Whichever side is biased will have a negative impact on the realization of the final strategic goal. It is not easy to balance two tracks full of variables and twists and turns. It requires superb strategic and tactical development planning and wise and correct judgment.
, the skill of coordinating organizational actions, and more importantly, the need for an ally or... shield that can share the strategic pressure for the elf camp.
There have been many such case specimens on the earth. There were two people who played similar roles from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century.
One is the red empire that was tricked into death by the enemies of imperialism and the younger brothers of socialism (Rabbit really didn’t mean it...);
The other is a fundamentalist terrorist organization that can only launch self-destructive attacks in the most desperate manner.
——Relying on these two targets with guns lying on their knees and arrows stuck in their knees to attract most of the guns in the empire of human hope, a certain large country in East Asia has gained a valuable period of development opportunities and is ready to truly become a permanent rogue state.
Effective gangster bosses laid the foundation.
Now, a similar play will be staged on the stage of Wilt's world, and the current role player of [International Living Thunder Front] in charge of blocking is none other than Albion.
Not the United Principality of Rus, not Castile. Although these two countries can play some role in containing Charlemagne from a short-term tactical level, such small fights at the tactical level cannot really change the strategic dilemma of the elf camp.
And letting them grow bigger is also not in the interest of the Elf camp.
In the long run, only Albion, not other human countries, can assume the task of strategic containment.
Because that country and Charlemagne are absolutely mortal enemies, because that country’s strength is just right, and because that country is an island country near the mainland.
Three reasons are enough to promote Albion to the role in Li Lin's script, which is a hard-working and hard-working character who is destined to gain very little. On the contrary, the expenditure is huge, which will lead to his own collapse and eventual destruction.
"There needs to be more talk about feuding, and even children know what they talk about. The important thing is that Albion has the idea, impulse and need to split Charlemagne, but his strength and environment have destined him to be the best collaborator for this strategic idea.
Only by us - only by working with us can that goal be achieved."
The resource limitations and geostrategic environment of the island nation have destined the island nation to be full of fear and resentment towards the emergence of a unified continental power. Assuming that the country that unified the continent and integrated most of the power of the human camp is Charlemagne, the "subjugation" will not stop.
Instead of speculating and imagining the nightmare, it has become reality before our eyes, and the worst situation will inevitably come to Albion.
Therefore, weakening or completely dividing Charlemagne into many small vassal states that are deeply separated from each other has always been the goal that Albion has been pursuing tirelessly, and they have been trying. But in actual operation, the big shots in Albion found that things were not
As simple as they imagined, the resistance and friction in reality are greater than imagined...)
