Metternich looked up tiredly at the gorgeous canopy of the bed, the curtains and curtains around the bed firmly blocking out the sunlight.
The foreign minister's withered face smiled bitterly, and he knew very well that his smile must be scary - a skeleton covered with wrinkled skin would frighten anyone who saw it, not to mention that skeleton had a deathly smile on its face.
The face is like this, and the body under the green blanket is not much better. In just a few weeks, the body entrenched on the bed is almost no longer healthy.
En-shaped, it would be more convincing to say it is something like a pile of dead tree roots.[
Metternich has always been related to him. He was born prematurely and was very weak. Therefore, he was disliked by a family with many high-level magicians in the enhancement system. Mana's sensing ability was not particularly outstanding among his peers, so he used the family's
Because of his relationship, he was able to barely pass the Quadruple Magician Examination and graduate from the National Academy of Magic.
In the aristocratic circle where the level of magical ability determines everything, Metternich was regarded as such for a long time, until he later became an important minister of the country, and political opponents would use this to launch attacks from time to time.
The Mother Goddess is very fair. Metternich did not have the possibility of joining the military or studying magic, but the Mother Goddess gave him eloquence and a wise mind. He won the king by seizing opportunities and demonstrating his diplomatic talents.
Thanks to his appreciation, he was able to enter and leave the court. Later, he formed an alliance with Cardinal Richelieu. With the support of this political ally who combined talents and iron fists, he finally obtained the title of Minister of Foreign Affairs and the prestigious title of earl.
The ambitious Metternich and Richelieu did not stop there. Obtaining power was just a stage in their life plans. The two like-minded people also had unknown ambitions - to unify the human countries and defeat the United Principality of Ross.
, to build Charlemagne into an unprecedented unified and powerful kingdom that surpassed Germania.
This is a huge, time-consuming and labor-intensive project. Countless heroes and sages have worked on it, but due to various reasons, they have always failed to succeed.
Now, it's Richelieu and Metternich's turn to challenge this.
A long time ago, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs began to plan the expansion strategy for Charlemagne. They are both rational expansionists. They are very clear about the resistance to this country's attempt to change the territory - Albion, Ymir, and the United Principality of Ross.
.
ne), the three provinces of Flanders and the port city of Calais are still occupied by Albion. The long-cherished wish of driving the Albion people out of the mainland is far from being realized. On the other hand, Albion's ambition to annex Charlemagne is also
Unable to take a step forward, both sides welcomed the Pope's envoy under the circumstances that neither side had achieved a decisive victory.
The two sides finally signed the "Armistice Agreement" with the Compiègne Forest under the mediation of the Pope. This thin piece of paper looked more like a temporary truce agreement in terms of name and content. Once the two sides got excited that day,
I feel like my fists are hard enough, so I can have a good fight anytime, anywhere.
Therefore, any tendency of Charlemagne to strengthen national power, expand military power or territory will attract the attention and vigilance of that dangerous island country, and then use this as a reason to escalate the situation, and finally unite with Castile to start another war.
The United Principality of Ross is currently quite honest. But it is also making small moves. No one can guarantee that when Charlemagne, Albion and Castile are in a melee, those furry bear men will still be willing to stay in the bear den.
Here, they are
Siye thinks about finding...
It is not impossible to use the whole power of the principality to attack Lapland and rush into Charlemagne before the Three Kingdoms wake up. Therefore, the human countries have considerable efforts to use Lapland as a human shield against the orcs to ensure the safety of all countries.
There was a tacit understanding. But as an ally of Lapland, Charlemagne also shouldered a heavy strategic burden.
As a neighboring country, Charlemagne also shared the majority of the aid obligations.
Whenever orcs attack Lapland, Charlemagne always assumes the strategic obligation to continuously invest money, resources, and soldiers into the north as quickly as possible, spending all the things that should be used to strengthen the country in the ice and snow forests...
Finally, Your Majesty the Pope of Ymir will not tolerate anything that may undermine his own authority, let alone a country headed by someone other than the Pope. If things may develop in that direction, His Majesty will definitely take action to stop it.
of.
The surrounding environment is so dangerous that it is unrealistic to expect to rely on force to break the status quo and achieve expansion of hegemony. The only feasible way is to rely on superior strategies and tactics to achieve unexpected results.
The plan formulated by Metternich and Richelieu was precisely to implement the expansion pursued through the use of politics and diplomacy.
Ease relations with Albion, win over Castile, lure the expansion of the United Principality of Rus towards the sea, and reverse the strategic positions of Albion and Lapland... By implementing the above methods, Charlemagne will finally lead the realization of humankind
unification, and then launched an expedition to the east with national power superior to that of the United Principality of Rus, burying that pagan country in one fell swoop...[
For this plan, they discussed many options together
At night, they planned how to contact Castile and try to send people to contact other orc races in Ross, instigating their conflicts with the bear tribe and provoking civil strife among the orcs. They even planned to bring together His Royal Highness Crown Prince Louis and Albion.
The second princess Elizabeth married in exchange for temporarily paralyzing Albion and inducing them to adopt an appeasement attitude toward Charlemagne...
They had made so many preparations, and the plan was about to enter the implementation stage, but the Mother Goddess and fate played an extremely cruel joke on the country and them personally.
The epidemic crisis broke out.
It swept across the country in a very short period of time, and at the same time brought the witch hunting storm. The terrifying storm spread to remote villages where there was no outbreak. Everyone was in danger, and the situation was almost out of control.
Just when everyone was worried, as if in response to people's desire for the disaster to be over, that man came into everyone's sight.
Relying on unique technology, Ve Company found the cause of the epidemic and a solution to the problem. When the successful young CEO appeared in the prime minister's office with a complete set of solutions, Richelieu instinctively felt -
