Chapter 124 The fragile balance of the four empires
December 23, 289 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.
early morning.
Acanrea.
In a certain hotel.
Because during the nearly two-month rescue battle in the Lunde Kingdom, Su Cheng woke up almost before dawn or just after dawn every day.
Therefore, thanks to the blessing of these two months, Su Cheng now wakes up at dawn or before dawn every day, and the biological clock has not been adjusted yet.
After opening his eyes, Su Cheng subconsciously looked out the window
Sure enough, the sky had just turned white.
Later, Su Cheng took the pocket watch placed by the bedside and looked at the time, which was now 7:18 in the morning.
Last night, Su Cheng and the four of them returned to the hotel at almost 1 o'clock in the morning.
Su Cheng opened a total of 3 rooms. One double room and two single rooms. The double room was for Deng Jiaer and Alan, and the two single rooms were for Su Cheng and Kai Luoer.
.
Last night, no, it should be said that as soon as he returned to the hotel early this morning, Kailuo was dizzy and feeling unwell, so he went directly to his room to sleep.
Alan, who loves playing board games very much, brought several board games from home before traveling.
And Deng Jiaer happens to be a person who likes to play board games.
When the two of them are at home, they always play board games together.
The energetic Alan and Deng Jiaer said that they would play board games until dawn.
Normally, Su Cheng, as Alan's brother and guardian, would naturally not let Alan play all night.
But this is a very rare trip after all. The purpose of traveling is to have fun and relax.
So Su Cheng let Alan and Deng Jiaer go and allowed them to play board games all night.
After returning to the hotel, Su Cheng went to bed directly.
After sleeping until about 4 o'clock in the morning, Su Cheng woke up once. After waking up, Su Cheng found that Alan and Deng Jiaer's rooms were still lit...
However, Su Cheng ignored it and allowed the two of them to continue playing board games all night, turned over on the bed, and then continued to sleep.
Then he slept until dawn.
After only sleeping for more than 6 hours, Su Cheng still felt very tired and sleepy.
But thanks to the biological clock, Su Cheng couldn't fall asleep.
Since he couldn't fall asleep anymore, Su Cheng simply rolled over and got out of bed.
He put on a warm coat and walked towards the window.
After arriving at the window, Su Cheng looked out the window.
It started to snow lightly in Acanrea last night.
But now the snow seems to have stopped, and no more snowflakes are falling from the white sky.
It seemed that someone had come to clean up the streets of Acanrea early in the morning. Su Cheng looked down and found that the streets had been swept clean, and the snow had been swept to both sides of the streets.
The buildings in Acanrea all use white and blue as the main colors. The white or blue roof of each building is covered with a layer of white snow that looks very soft.
"It's so beautiful..."
Su Cheng, who stood outside the window and admired the city lightly covered with snow, couldn't help but sigh.
…
Su Cheng didn't know that someone was admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window at the same time as him.
At this time, Pendragon was in a certain mansion.
A tall, strong, middle-aged man was standing by the window, looking out at the scenery outside the window.
The middle-aged man, who was staring at the white sky intently, suddenly said in a joking tone:
"Jacob, you may be the only person in the world who comes to visit other people's houses at dawn."
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, an old voice came from behind him:
"Hehehe, there is no other way. I am somewhat free during this period of the day, which is just before dawn, so I can only come to visit you during this time. How are you feeling?"
Jacob, the second-in-command of the Britannia Empire and Prime Minister of the Palace, was sitting on a wooden chair placed behind this middle-aged man.
"Very good, I will be able to move around freely after a few more days of rest. Do you need me to pour you some wine?" the middle-aged man asked.
"No need." Jacob waved his hand, "I still have a lot of government affairs to deal with later."
"...I haven't seen you drinking to your heart's content, Jacob, for a long time."
After saying that, the middle-aged man sighed, and then continued:
"Don't force yourself too much. You are not a superman. If you work with such high intensity every day, you will collapse sooner or later. Just relax moderately and drink some of your favorite wine."
"Albert, thank you for your concern." Jacob smiled, "Unfortunately, your concern may be in vain. The moment I became the palace minister, I decided to use my small body to
Bringing supreme glory to Britannia."
"...It's up to you." Albert said calmly, "I have fulfilled my obligation as a good friend to advise you. The body is yours, do whatever you want."
"Haha, don't worry, Albert, I won't fall down so easily."
The middle-aged man was silent for a while, and then continued:
"Jacob, I have been friends with you for more than 20 years. From what I know about you, you should not just come to visit me today, right?"
"It's really not just as simple as coming to visit you. I came to you today. In addition to visiting you, I also have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
"You must have read the secret report, right? It has been decided to launch the 'Spring Awakening' offensive, launching the sixth large-scale attack on the Luolin Empire in March next year."
"I know that this combat operation is still top secret. It seems that the central government decided to catch the Luo Lin Empire by surprise."
After saying that, the middle-aged man turned around and looked directly at Jacob, with a faint smile on his face, and continued:
"Furthermore, Iser and Iser are teaming up for this battle... I'm really looking forward to it. Iser and I are in charge of different defense lines, so we've never had the chance to join forces with him. This is the first time I've joined forces with the United Knights.
It can be said that I am looking forward to the battle now. I can’t wait until March next year so that I and Iser can turn the Rollin Empire upside down!"
"I feel relieved to see you have such fighting spirit." Jacob said, "I came to you specifically this time. In addition to visiting you, I also want to give you a suggestion: You and Iser must win this battle."
We must win! This battle is of extremely important significance and we must not lose!"
"Extremely important...meaning?" the middle-aged man asked doubtfully.
Jacob nodded solemnly, and then said:
"If you and Iser can successfully destroy the northern defense system of the Rollin Empire, the national power of the Rollin Empire will be greatly weakened. By then, our Britannia Empire will usher in a rare situation that has not been seen in decades.
Excellent opportunity.”
"The balance between the four empires has been maintained for decades. During these decades, no one among the four empires can do anything to the other."
"The current Queen of the Luolin Empire is fatuous and incompetent. She only cares about enjoying herself and does not care about national affairs. Most of her ministers are short-sighted and mediocre."
"When a ruler is incompetent, it is the best time to solve a country's problems."
"So, over the years, our Britannia Empire has launched 5 large-scale attacks on the Rolin Empire, with 2 major victories, 1 small victory, 1 draw, and 1 defeat. These 5 large-scale attacks,
It has weakened a lot of the national power of the Luo Lin Empire."
"If this 'Spring Awakening' offensive achieves its strategic goal of destroying the northern defense system of the Luolin Empire, it will definitely severely damage the Luolin Empire and cause the Luolin Empire to fall into its lowest period since the founding of the country."
Speaking of this, Jacob's originally half-closed eyes widened slightly, and rays of light burst out from his eyes, and then he continued:
"In other words, by then, the balance of power that has been maintained for decades among the four empires will most likely be broken."
"If the 'Spring Awakening' offensive succeeds, our Britannia Empire will have the opportunity to annex the Rollin Empire. This will be a rare opportunity in decades. As long as we annex the Rollin Empire, we will obtain the land of the Rollin Empire.
With resources, our country’s national power will be superior to that of the Holy Hiran Empire and the Frankish Empire!”
"So this battle is of extremely important significance! You and Iser must not lose! This is related to the destiny of our country!"
After listening to Jacob's words, the middle-aged man smiled bitterly, was silent for a while, and then said:
"Is this a war related to the fate of the country..."
After whispering this sentence, the middle-aged man chuckled twice, and then said to Jacob in a relaxed tone:
"Don't worry, Jacob, even if you don't tell me this, I will try my best to win this war."
Chapter completed!
