Chapter 279 "Consolation Group"
Chapter 279 "Consolation Group"
"Lord Alpha, how can they be so shameless! We clearly stabilized the situation as agreed, but they went back on their word and refused to hand over Ollie to us. Besides, we have never thought of betraying the empire, how could they be so treacherous!" Everyone looked suspicious and expressed disbelief at Alpha's point of view.
Alpha knew that it was meaningless to argue about trust at this time. He said calmly: "The key now is not to believe it or not, but to consider how we should respond if the Empire asks us to hand over Ollie."
Fayana knew the reason very well. She understood why Alpha did not develop Minx, and also understood what he meant by reconsidering the development space. "If we hand over the state of Auli, then Luster and Bess will lose their strategic depth and become undefendable."
Mark and others were very emotional and said indignantly: "Since they have betrayed us, we will never compromise. The worst that can happen is that we will fight them to the death!"
"We can't hold it, so now we have to discuss how much they will ask for and how much we can give. As for exchanging to the Czech Republic, that is impossible." Alpha needs a stable environment to develop. There is no way he will go to be the goalkeeper for Germany. Even if he gives up the entire Austrian state, he will not consider going to the Czech Republic.
Linda looked at the map and suddenly realized: "Lord Alpha, what they need is food from Auli Province, so we can only retreat to Slo Province. There are more mountainous areas there, and the empire does not attach much importance to the development of seaports." At this time, she finally understood why Alpha transferred the omnipotent Fayana to the coastal line and vigorously developed the navy.
"What do you think of this?" Alpha's finger fell on the strategic location of Ottoman Empire, which is Turkey, on the map.
"Lord Alpha, do you want to attack the Ottoman Empire?" Everyone opened their mouths in shock. This idea was even more surprising than Germany's return to Austria.
In the distant past, the Ottoman Empire was a superpower spanning Europe, Asia and Africa, and its might was awe-inspiring. Even though it has gradually declined under the erosion of time and its control over remote areas is no longer sufficient, its foundation is still there, just like a lean camel, which is still more powerful than a horse.
Farana was well aware of the power of the Ottoman Empire, and couldn't help but explain it to Alpha in a low voice. However, when she mentioned the Ottoman Empire, there was a hint of strangeness in her eyes.
"Ottoman Empire? It hasn't been extinct yet!" Alpha knew about the power of the Ottoman Empire in another parallel world, but he didn't expect that this empire still existed in this world.
Farah further explained: "The Ottoman Empire still controls the countries around the Mediterranean region, and its strength is comparable to that of Germany and France. If you, Alpha, intend to attack the Ottoman Empire, France, Germany, and the Holy See will fully support you."
"Why is this?" Alpha wondered.
"The Ottoman Empire is too powerful and has posed a threat to all major powers. If Germany, France and the Holy See had not joined forces to resist the Ottoman Empire's northward advance, the whole of Europe would probably have become their world by now. Due to the rise of the Ottoman Empire, the Holy See declined, and even its headquarters was forced to relocate. It can be said that the Holy See is the one that most hopes for the demise of the Ottoman Empire." Farana explained in detail.
"I see." Alpha fell into deep thought.
"This place must be occupied, but we can't attack directly." Alpha moved his finger to the west of Turkey - Greece, the place across the sea from Türkiye.
Everyone was silent, because Alpha's decision was really unexpected. Directly provoking the Ottoman Empire was like hitting a rock with an egg, and Alpha might be easily crushed by the other side.
"Don't worry, I won't launch a direct attack on Greece. I heard that there is a revolution going on in Greece right now, and we can strongly support them." Alpha's brain was working fast.
At the strategic planning meeting, Alpha looked at the map with a firm gaze and issued a series of important instructions to Farana and Linda.
"Fayana, your naval forces need to advance eastward along the coastline, while ensuring the implementation of the eastward strategy of railways and ports. Linda, your core task is to meet the needs of the navy and provide solid support for our military operations. In addition, we must formulate a reasonable transfer plan and never let Germany take Ollie away for nothing." Alpha's tone revealed determination.
Alpha began to carefully calculate various possible scenarios. If the Ottoman Empire did not take any action, then we could go downhill and annex Greece. But if their reaction was fierce, we would need to adopt a more cautious strategy, gradually nibbling along the way northward, and developing steadily and steadily.
Alpha is confident in his plan and has made up his mind to move forward resolutely no matter what the circumstances. He knows that only through clever strategies and decisive actions can we achieve our goals and ensure the prosperity and strength of our country.
"Lord Alpha, according to important news from Monkey, the German Empire's consolation delegation has arrived! This delegation is led by Prince William and is large in scale. It is accompanied by important figures such as Green, deputy commander of the Fifth Knights of the Holy See of Light, and Gris, the Empire's Foreign Minister." This news was like a blockbuster bomb, making the originally noisy meeting instantly silent.
Everyone present knew that the Empire had sent such a magnificent delegation for more than just a simple consolation. Everyone's eyes were focused on Alpha, as if they were wondering whether his previous idea would really come true.
"Okay, that's it. Everyone go back first. Fayana, wait until the delegation leaves before you leave. Everyone else, stay in top shape now." Alpha's voice was calm and firm, as if he had expected all this. Although he had already planned to evacuate, he was also prepared to take some things with him.
The decision of Lord Alpha made the atmosphere in the meeting room even more tense. Everyone understood that the arrival of this condolence delegation might trigger a series of changes. Although Alpha acted calm, everyone could feel the pressure in his heart.
After everyone left, Alpha sat quietly in a chair, thinking about the next move. He knew that the negotiation with the German Empire would be a difficult game.
At the same time, the members of the condolence mission were warmly welcomed in the city. People were full of curiosity and expectation for these distinguished guests from afar. However, under this lively appearance, hidden were the undercurrents of various forces.
As the leader of the delegation, Prince William showed his noble temperament and affinity. He had friendly exchanges with local officials and people and won people's love. But under his gentle appearance, are there other purposes hidden?
Green, the vice-chairman of the Fifth Knights of the Holy See, was known for his rigor and coldness. His presence reminded people of the great power of the Holy See. And Gris, the Imperial Foreign Minister, was known for his wit and machiavelli. Every smile and word of his seemed to contain deep meaning.
In this turbulent situation, Alpha and his team must deal with it carefully. They need to find clues in the communication with the delegation and understand the other party's true intentions. At the same time, they cannot ignore the movements of other forces, so as not to be drawn into a larger vortex.
Time is running out, and Alpha decides to send out agents to investigate the true intentions of the German Empire. These agents will face many difficulties and dangers, but they must obtain key information to support Alpha's decision.
On the other side, Fayana quietly waited for the delegation. She was full of doubts and worries. She didn't know what Alpha's plan was, nor did she know where the future would go. But she firmly believed that Alpha would make the right choice.
"Knight Alpha, your allies are truly powerful. No wonder they can dominate this continent." Green, deputy commander of the Knights of Light, approached Alpha and reminded him loudly.
"Captain Green, you're too kind. What allied army? How come I've never heard of it?" Alpha pointed at a few knights, and they shouted in unison: "We are the Freedom Army!"
"I remember very clearly that when the Alpha Knights liberated Minx, they called themselves the Allied Forces. Did I remember it wrong?" Green seized on this question, as if he wanted to use it to threaten Alpha.
"That must be because there were too many people talking at the time, and you must have heard it wrong. Captain Green, we have always called ourselves the Free Army." Alpha firmly denied the idea of having an allied army.
"Okay! Maybe I heard it wrong. But I will check the magic records." Green deliberately said in Alpha's ear, which was undoubtedly an obvious threat.
"However, Lord Alpha's knights are indeed extremely powerful, no wonder they were able to defeat those dark creatures. But, I am a little curious, why are there dark creatures among Alpha's knights?" This time it was Foreign Minister Gris who spoke. When they met before, Gris was still the Grand Prince's envoy, but now he has been promoted to Foreign Minister.
"These dark creatures have been transformed by dark forces, and they are also victims. As long as they turn their hearts to the light, they will naturally be accepted by God. All of us will be bathed in the light, and this is the meaning of the existence of the Freedom Army." Alpha certainly has his own set of rhetoric.
"The main reason we're here this time is to express our condolences to Lord Alpha. Don't be so serious. I heard that Lord Alpha has also arranged a cocktail party. Today we won't talk about business, but only about love and romance." Williams has obviously matured a lot and even knows how to ease the atmosphere for everyone at this time.
