285 First Pofenian War 285th Episode 3rd Year

Around the time Alms is struggling to raise money.

In the southern Republic of Pofenia ...

"Anyway, we have to build a ship! If the supply to Trisiceria is delayed, our country will be defeated! If we do so, the blood we have shed for many years will be wasted!"

In the Senate, it is…

He was one of the executives of the Coast Party.

The Barkas, who are at the core of the Coast Party, are now compelling to fight on Trisiceria.

In that case, they have no choice but to take care of their absence.

But ...

"In the first place, this will be the beginning of a war, etc.! If we do not war, if the Mersina Strait is co-managed with the Romanian kingdom, we will not lose land on Trisiceria! We will not lose our fleet! We never lost our blood tax !! "

When Azure Hanno shouts like that ...

"It seems so!!"

"We must unite peace!"

"Anti-war!"

Members of the Plain Party shout loudly.

Many of them are landowners and have no interest in Trisiceria.

So if the island is lost, it won't hurt or itch.

That's why I argue that peace should be reached now.

This claim is never wrong.

Certainly most land on Trisiceria is taken away.

However, some land remains.

More than anything……

Now you can make peace with the pain.

"In the first place, the Kingdom of Romalia is currently in financial difficulties. There is no need to build ships, etc. They cannot build another ship with their national strength."

Azul Hanno argues so.

Azul Hanno already wanted to withdraw Pofenia from this profitless war.

In the first place, Pofenia earns more than 10,000 Taranto from agricultural income alone.

Including other income, such as commercial and mining income, there is a state income of 40,000 Taranto.

This is four times the Kingdom of Romania.

You only have to pay some compensation.

If you want Trisqueria, please give it.

That is more economical.

Azul Hanno thought.

And this is definitely correct.

Because ...

Already Pofenia has thrown a lot of money into Dob.

You should stop losing now.

That is the argument of the peace group.

"What do you say ?! That's why you should build a fleet! Win a naval battle and you'll be able to rewind! You should hire new mercenaries and drive out the Romanian kingdom from Trisiceria! Let's go! Next is Pophenia !!!! "

This point is also correct.

With Pofenia's wealth ... it could push the Romanian kingdom out.

And geopolitically, Trisqueria is an important place.

I mean ...

Neither the main sect or the peace squad are correct in their claims.

The only problem is that there is only one option.

The Kingdom of Romaria has fought so far with the leadership of Almus and the compromises of the Rymonds, which narrowed down the theory of the country to one main battle.

Then Pofenia ...

"Let's acknowledge that you need your fleet. Build a fleet, but only up to three hundred, and that alone can overwhelm the financially difficult kingdom of Romaria. And we win and we make peace, and we return the border to its former state. "

"... We claim that we need 500 vessels, and the removal of the Romanian kingdom from the Strait of Mercina ..."

"So, why not build it at your own expense? I can't afford to waste your precious blood tax. And, apart from the army, the Navy is a citizen of Pofenia. I can't help it. ''

"... I see. You're right."

Like this ...

The main sect and the peace sect have a half-hearted policy that can be considered a compromise.

later……

This has divided the fate of the Kingdom of Romania and the Republic of Pofenia for the next hundred years.

Construction of a large fleet has begun.

The Kingdom of Romania puts the funds collected to narrow the country into shipbuilding.

Trees are cut out one after another and transported in the river using river water transport ...

Each part is manufactured, and finally assembled and floated.

The fleet was finally completed after winter, spring, and late summer.

One hundred and fifty ships that already exist.

In addition, 250 new ships.

A total of four hundred ships were built by the Romanian Kingdom for nearly a year.

On the other hand, the Republic of Pofenia built 300 ships as planned ...

I was surprised at the size of the Romanian kingdom of four hundred and tried to build a new one ...

Time was late.

The army deployed on Trisiceria also began operating as soon as the fleet was completed.

The aim is Licata, the last port city of Pofenia, at the southernmost tip of Trisiceria.

First, 60,000 led by Bartolo approaches Licata.

On the other hand, Belshazzar Barka and Shmal Barka, who had accumulated power inland and conserved their troops, headed south with 80,000 troops.

Meanwhile, Kepka Barka joins with 20,000 troops.

Rosward chased it with 40,000 troops and went south.

Belshazzar Barka, Commander-in-Pofenia, entered the city of Licata one step ahead of Bartolo Pompeius.

Meanwhile, at the same time as the Pofenian army enters the city of Licata, the Romanian army joins.

Approaching Licata City.

Thus ...

Four corps and 200,000 troops have been fighting apart since the beginning of the First Pofenian War.

It met.

Belshazzar Barka then requested reinforcements from his homeland.

Pofenia homeland transports large quantities of supplies and newly recruited mercenaries on a transport ship and escorts it with a newly built large fleet to approach Licata.

To prevent it, the Romanian kingdom dispatched a large fleet to Licata with Alexius Cornelius as commander-in-chief of the Navy.

Also, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Kingdom of Rome, Bartolo Pompeius, set out on the outskirts of Licata to fight before Pofenia's reinforcements arrive.

In response, Belshazzar Barqa challenged himself to prevent a complete siege and the inability to counterattack.

Thus ...

A major battle that marks the end of the first Pofenian war.

The battle off Licata begins.

"The Belshazzar guy is good to hit, but not at all. Just protect it."

Bartolo finally came to the end of the tournament, and attacked Belshazzar Barqa one-on-one to win and lose quickly.

However, Belshazzar Barka never resisted the provocation and continued to endure.

"Isn't that attacking until reinforcements arrive?"

When Ron asked, Bartolo nodded.

"Well, sure."

Once sieved, it is difficult to fight back.

Therefore he hit before he was besieged.

However, there is a danger of losing if you compete.

If you lose, there is no escape.

So to make sure you win ...

Waiting for supply from Pofenia and reinforcements.

Indeed, it was a really right decision.

"It depends on General Alexius."

"If the reinforcements sink into the sea, they have no choice but to compete."

Rosward and Gram laugh inappropriately.

If reinforcements cannot be relied on, you will have to defeat the enemy on your own.

There is no point in earning time.

Rather, it is disadvantageous for Pofenia.

"Well, Alexios would win."

"No way, I'm going to lead"

Azul Hanno sighs.

Unfortunately for Azul Hanno .........

Except for the Barca generals, there are no generals in Pofenia who can command the fleet of Azul Hanno.

Hanno's faction has few people who can be called martial arts except Hanno.

By the way, Azul Hanno often works as a diplomat, but ...

He is an experienced general who has repeatedly suppressed pirates and rebels.

Azul Hanno is peaceful but ...

I wasn't going to get out of hand because I was fighting on the battlefield.

No, rather…

(I lost my reading and fell below the number of ships in the Kingdom of Romaria. I have to take responsibility.)

Azul Hanno is a politician who loves Pofenia.

I will fight to protect Pofenia.

And I was going to clear my blunder.

"I'll end everything in this war. That's the end of this stupid war."
