273 Episode 273 First Pofenia War Natural Armistice Ⅰ

"Can Bartoro beat Seal Barca?"

During the natural truce, I secretly summoned Bartolo and asked.

Bartolo closes his eyes and thinks a bit ...

"I won't lose, but I won't win."

"……What do you mean?"

draw……

Do you want to say?

"I have had a few skirmishes with Seal Barqa. Yes, he is excellent. But ... the essential soldiers are not keeping up with his abilities. Our soldiers ... "If you fight, you'll win ... but you know Sear Barca, so ... he doesn't fight."

……I see.

If you fight, you can win.

But if you can't fight, you won't win.

It's obvious.

A strategy that waits for the limits of Japan's national power.

A surefire way to win.

"So, for me, is peace?"

"... do you think so?"

I trust Bartolo.

No doubt Bartolo says.

I think ...

"Let's just think in the direction of peace. I have to ask for other opinions."

"... My Majesty, I'd like to give you some advice."

Hmm?

Bartolo advise me?

that's unusual.

"Would it be nice to hear Alexios Cornelius once, he could see ... something I couldn't see, and maybe ... he would make a different decision from me maybe"

"What an idiot ... You're a consular officer, you know about the limits of Japan's national power! Considering the nature of Japan's military system, you can't take a long battle !!!! There is no choice but peace!

"Aren't you sure you don't know anything? Okay? The Romanian Federation is an alliance that secures our military power. If we draw to Pofenia, that collateral will collapse. I can't trust you! Pia has two faces! "

After finishing talking to Bartolo, I convened the Senate.

Because I hid the contents of the peace treaty ...

It leaked from somewhere.

Probably ...

Pofenia, especially via the Barkas.

The Peace Treaty spread quickly and became a big debate, noble and ordinary.

That is ...

Peace or war?

Japan's national theory has been split in half.

As the Barkas aim, our country has been divided.

I can't help losing it anymore.

That's why I called for the Senate to unify nationalism ...

The discussion was raging.

Peace leader is Lymond.

Rosais and other conservatives, mainly in Lymond, insisted on peace.

They have a fair amount of vested interests and are rather afraid of losing in war.

in addition……

Have a very solid idea.

I and Bartolo are more on this side.

on the other hand……

Leader is Iar.

Anti-Rosaic nobles, such as the Clan of Dibel and the Clan of Ath, mainly in Iar, and non-royal nobles of the kingdom of Rosais originally.

They want less share of vested interests than the Crusade of the Rhosais, and want a greater share of the benefits in this war.

In particular, the Clash of the Rosais is the Clan of the As.

In the past, there was a common enemy, the Clan of Diber ...

Now that the Clan of Diber has fallen, it has a composition of Clan of Diber & Clan of Asama & Clan of Vs. Rossais.

What do you think of your father-in-law (the predecessor King Rossais)?

Can you smile with a bitter smile?

In such a state, the national theory was divided into two.

And ...

The trouble is that both sides have begun to pull in different levels to give me their opinion.

The first player was the main group.

They brought the People's Association, and the Society of Magicians to their side.

Petitions for the continuation of the war were gathered like mountains from the Pingminkai and the Sorcerers Association in various places, and Iars shouted, "How about! ! He's on our side! ! ].

Recently, citizens of the city of Rosais have been gathering together, "War! ! War! ! War! ! And marched to sing.

I'm too warlike and scary.

Meanwhile, the Lymonds were not defeated.

They were recently ruled by the Romanian Kingdom and are not very familiar with the Romanian Kingdom. Rather, they have raked in the signatures of those who have dissent.

And "Some people are against you, hey! ! ] And banged on the Iars with a doya face.

Then this time ...

The Ials have drawn the cities of the Christians to their side.

Since the betrayal of Pofenia in the Persis-Kilitan War, the Christians have shown strong opposition to the Pofenians.

Maybe most Christians want to kill Pofenians.

That is why the Christian Romanians are asking, "Continue the war and let us kill the Pofenians."

in addition……

If Japan wins in this war, Japan can deprive Pofenia of its colonies and trade areas.

It will be salivatingly appealing to a Christian merchant.

The Christians have such a great deal of money that I can't ignore it.

And many of the nobles borrow from the Christians.

As they lean toward the main war squad, national politics suddenly shifts to the main war squad ...

It did not mean that.

Peace, led by Raymond, has drawn Adernian federal members to his side.

From this point of view, this battle has little benefit.

If the territory of the Adernian territory can be obtained, it still feels real, and if the opponent is the Roselle kingdom, which has oppressed the Adernians, there is still a desire to fight ...

Trisqueria?

Pofenia?

What is that?

There are many Adernian allies.

Especially the king of Evil, the king of Domorgar, the king of Fardarm ...

The nations around here seem to want to avoid using force if possible.

The Kingdom of Alva feels like giving money.

They are important allies for our country.

I cannot ignore that intention.

And ...

The story spread not only within our territory but also overseas.

The beginning ...

Ains, a diplomat dispatched to the Persian Empire.

Ains from Xerxes

"If you're going to do a full war, help me

That is, he clearly brought out the quality of Romania.

With signature of Xerxes emperor firmly.

Thus ...

The main sect advocated the Persistian Alliance, and the peace sect advocated the Pofenian Negotiations.

In other words, they are allies and traders.

......

I told Azul Hanno, "Your country is not a united country."

He was in a situation where he couldn't talk much about people.

"The Majesty of the King! We should unite peace! Pofenia's naval power is great! The Japanese navy cannot compete !!!! Is the enemy of our country the Roselle Kingdom!"

"Her Majesty! I should continue the war. If I don't hit Pofenia now ... I'll lose the agreement again. I might be squeezed by the Kingdom of Rosel, and take the trade area of Trisiceria and Pofenia." Japan will become even richer! "

Raymond and Iar insist on my opinion.

It is clear that they are thinking about the Kingdom of Romaria.

In fact, their opinions are both beneficial.

But ...

That is not to say that there is a decisive factor.

"Winter has just begun. It's probably too early to come to a conclusion."

"" Her Majesty! ""

What are you picking up! !

Two people who seem to say.

I raise my voice.

"I'll come to some conclusions and policies within three days. Wait ... until it's not easy to decide!"

I said so while holding my throbbing head.
