The contact work is being carried out through [enthusiastic] businessmen from Castile and Albion, and a general outline has emerged. At this important moment, it is strange that Roland is going to be sold to Edward IV, who likes to have sex with his wife.
Abduction incident?! Tier, who participated in formulating the contact plan, couldn't help but want to jump and scold her.
Of course, the scale must still be grasped, and it must not evolve into a "one-sided situation" where Agento Latong becomes a vassal of Albion. Cooperation with Albion can only be appropriate and moderate cooperation that is in the interest of the elven camp.
[There are no permanent enemies, no permanent friends, only eternal interests.] - The most basic principles of international politics are the same in Wilt. Albion is still essentially a human country and a potential strategic opponent of the elves.
and a name on the long list of prey. When reality requires cooperation, Li Lin and his preliminary staff are not opposed to cooperating with this island country that will also not allow the emergence of an elf-dominated continental power system to achieve elf independence.
and seeking help for future low-cost expansion.
Albion’s plans and strategic goals were not wrongly set, but as Clausewitz in another world had argued, [friction] is everywhere, and good projects are often destroyed by friction.
This is not to say that Charlemagne’s aristocratic lords who are passionate about wine, salons, women, and child molestation and their army are so powerful and conditionally loyal to their King that they can kick back every Albion man who climbs ashore.
Go into the sea. Purely practical and geographical factors do not allow Albion to act recklessly.[
A war to dismember Charlemagne is destined to drain Albion's finances, at the expense of the treasury being so clean that it can starve rats to death. In exchange, the long-term ally Castile has the possibility of annexing Charlemagne -
—No country can accept such a result.
Assuming that this ally suffered lower losses than Albion after the war, and the remaining strength ensured that it could swallow up most of Charlemagne's territory or even the entire territory... it would still be an out-and-out nightmare, almost returning
We have reached the origin of Charlemagne's unification of the continent, but this time the country standing in that position has been changed from an old enemy to a former ally. Everyone knows how fragile the friendly relations and covenants between countries are in the face of real interests.
With one touch, the relationship that has been established for a long time will be shattered in an instant.
As for the option of the United Principality of Rus... Even an island country like Albion cannot tolerate the orc country extending its bear paws into the Albion Strait, under its own nose.
Putting aside these troubles, it is still unknown whether Ymir will allow Albion to provoke a big fight within the human camp. No matter how scrupulous he is, the crazy and stupid secular monarch has to worry about the Mother Goddess acting as an agent in the world.
No one wants to be labeled as a "heresy" and become a public enemy that all human countries unite to deal with. No one wants to bear the tragic price of isolation and blockade or even the "Jihad Coalition Army".
The hope is full, the reality is very skinny - Albion, who is suffering from this psychological gap, feels quite uncomfortable.
After understanding Albion's strategic demands and dilemmas in the general environment, Li Lin's diplomatic strategy was basically formed.
"We will cooperate with Albion to a limited extent and isolate Charlemagne in all aspects."
Due to narrow vision caused by historical memory and racial factors, nearly half of the old men in the council refused to compromise and make deals with humans. Li Lin's attitude was "Why not?"
The outstanding value of the Agen Tolatun region in the current peacetime is that it is a place of new economic development and prosperity. However, if a large-scale all-out war breaks out again between the two camps of humans and orcs, it will send soldiers and supplies to the front line of Lapland as the human camp.
Its status as a transit station will be immediately apparent. Not to mention the possibility that when the war worsens and Lapland falls, Agen Tolatong will be transformed into a forward defense line in the theater.
The emergence of an independent elf country in such an important place - one can imagine the collective insomnia and swollen eyes of the upper echelons of the Holy See and the Kingdom of Charlemagne. And the inherent geographical flaws of Agen Tolaton will be troubled by the hasty independence.
Elves, eventually causing them to taste the taste of national subjugation again.
The best outcome for the elf country sandwiched between the two super thick loaves of Charlemagne and Lapland is to drag away a large number of humans and then perish again. The number of elves is further reduced and they once again hide in the valley woods to survive - compared to
Subjugation of the country and annihilation of the species is already the best outcome imaginable and with the lowest probability.
It is necessary to solve the geopolitical dilemma problem like thin hamburger belly, following the organizational, economic, internal affairs, military and other problems. The problem of solving the diplomatic grand strategy is handed to Li Lin. Unlock this maze formula, and there will be a broad road ahead.
If he can't solve it, Li Lin will have to consider various ways of [throwing stones], [growing mushrooms] and [particle cannons to clean the ground].
That would be bad, really—very bad.
In order to avoid [one for the Antarctic and one for the Arctic Ocean], the nuclear war educational nursery rhyme [by that time, every corner of the world will become, will become warmer and brighter] becomes a reality, and
Or avoid throwing down an asteroid or something after raising his arms and shouting [Stand up! Citizens!], [zk, xxxx!] at the state funeral of an officer. Li Lin filled in the blanks of the mandatory extra-point questions.
At the end of the sentence at the beginning, add the annotations "Make distant friends and attack close friends" and "Build the plank road openly and covertly attack Chen Cang".
The elves need to establish relations with all countries except Charlemagne, including Ymir and the United Principality of Rus, and then maintain a close and ambiguous level. This will make any country conflict with Agen Tolatong.
It is always smaller than the conflict between them and Charlemagne. In this way, it is naturally difficult to form an anti-elf chorus and avoid the nightmare of two or even multi-front battles. As long as they focus on dealing with Charlemagne, it is enough. With Argento
It will take at least 10 years to pull together the rapid development of economic and technological power and ensure that the Elf camp gains a relative advantage over the Kingdom of Charlemagne.
To this end, it is necessary to introduce the power of Albion to intervene in mainland affairs and Charlemagne's internal affairs, so that the island country, which is isolated overseas and can only rely on its peninsula allies who are keen on stirring up trouble and chrysanthemums, to contribute its strength and disguise everything
Containing most of Charlemagne's energy as [the Albion Man's Conspiracy] is a crucial first step in diplomatic strategy...)
