Chapter 192
After Hale finished speaking, Lofos remained silent, perhaps because he didn't know what to say.
After figuring out the position of the Kingdom of Bran, Lofos turned the focus to the Rock Republic and the Torman Empire, and also tested the position of the Luosha Federation.
Simply put, it means uniting all countries that can unite and doing its best to isolate the Liangxia Empire.
As a result, the problem was not the Gaoman Empire, which formed an alliance with the Liangxia Empire in the last war, nor the Luosha Empire, which achieved reconciliation with the Liangxia Empire after the war, but the former allies who won the victory of the last war and dominated the Rock Republic in the Western Continent.
Ambassador Locke's answer was very direct: The Republic of Locke will not be involved in conflicts and wars that have nothing to do with its core interests.
The implication is that the Rock Republic will not consider taking any actions that may lead to evil with the Liangxia Empire and will strictly remain neutral.
This result did not surprise Lofos.
To be fundamentally speaking, it is actually just one thing.
The Rock Republic was broken in the last major period, and it can also be said that it was heartbroken!
The Western Front battlefield of the Western Continent in the last war was within the territory of the Rocky Republic, and it was still in the densely populated northern region. The Rocky Republic fought a four-year local defense war, and thus became one of the countries with the most casualties. If calculated in proportion, it would be the most miserable country.
According to incomplete statistics, during the last war, one out of every five males of the age of Rock Republic died in battle, and one out of the remaining four was disabled.
It was such a huge, tragic casualties that made the Rock Republic reconcile with the Torman Empire.
If another such war occurs in twenty years, half of the families in the Rock Republic will probably have their children and grandchildren.
To put it bluntly, because a large number of men died in battle, the Rock Republic was like having their eggs cut off and they couldn't get up at all.
Of course, there was no serious conflict of interest between the Rock Republic and the Liangxia Empire.
To be said, it is the Nanzhi area.
Before the Liangxia Empire was unveiled, the entire Zhi Kingdom, including North Zhi, was a colony of Locke. After the rise of the Liangxia Empire, the Zhi Kingdom became independent and then became a vassal state of the Liangxia Empire. After the last war, Nanzhi was re-designed to the Rocke Republic.
That place was too small and could not catch the eye of the Liangxia Empire.
Besides, even if the Liangxia Empire wanted to take back Nanzhi, it would let Beizhi come forward and would not give the Rock Republic a reason to directly participate in the war.
The Rock Republic may not necessarily make an expedition for a colony that is not worth much.
Interestingly, a few years ago, the Rock authorities proposed to the Newland Federation that they hoped to exchange South toe for a colony in the west of the Newland Federation, such as Tris Island, and were willing to pay compensation for it. Unfortunately, this matter was not settled at all.
What really surprised Lofos, or even couldn't believe, was actually the attitude of the Tyman Empire and the Luosha Federation.
The answer from the Tyman Empire was very direct.
If the Newland Federation supports and recognizes the interests of the Thaman Empire in the Western Continent and signs an alliance treaty, the Thaman Empire is willing to join the ranks of sanctions against the Liangxia Empire, and can even provide direct assistance to the Nayi Empire at the same time as the Newland Federation.
Of course, if the Newland Federation declares war on the Liangxia Empire, the Tyman Empire will also follow up.
According to Ambassador Tsuman, this is fulfilling the obligations of the alliance.
Unfortunately, it is impossible for the Newland Federation to sign an alliance treaty with the Torman Empire.
The ambition of the Tyman Empire was obvious, which was to avenge its previous shame, dominate the Western Continent, defeat and replace the Kingdom of Bran, become the only overlord of the west of the world island, Xi Luoyang, and then become a superhegemonic country like the Liangxia Empire and the Newland Federation. Not to mention how stupid it is to establish a strong enemy, supporting the Great Empire to dominate the Western Continent will inevitably be enemies with the Locke Republic, and will destroy the alliance with the Kingdom of Bran.
In addition, will the Torman Empire keep its promise?
Don’t forget that in the last war, the Tiaoman Empire fought side by side with the Liangxia Empire!
There is enough reason to believe that the Thuman Empire sent such a signal to find out the trump card of the Newland Federation and then go to the Liangxia Empire to seek credit.
The key is that in recent years, within the Tiaoman Empire, the "conservatives" who advocate alliance with the Liangxia Empire have regained the upper hand and dominated public opinion. More and more Tiaoman soldiers and civilians have begun to admit that the main responsibility for the last defeat was actually themselves.
While reflecting, the Tauman Empire was also adjusting its pro-Locke and pro-Bran policies, and working hard to improve its relationship with the Liangxia Empire.
To be honest, the Liangxia Empire was too powerful.
In addition, there was no direct conflict of interest between the Tauman Empire and the Liangxia Empire, and it can be said to be a natural ally.
This geographical relationship is also reflected in the attitude of Luosha Federation.
Ambassador Luo Sha did not block Hale outside the door, and he listened to Hale's nagging patiently for several hours, but at the end, he did not give a clear answer.
This is the best result.
Don’t forget that the Luosha Federation is an ally of the Liangxia Empire.
On the other hand, there is no direct conflict between the Newland Federation and the Luosha Federation.
More than ten years ago, the Newland Federation took the lead in recognizing the Luosha Federation, and then established diplomatic relations with the Luosha Federation and sent ambassadors to each other.
It was not until the Newland Federation that other Western powers successively recognized the Luosha Federation.
From this perspective, the relationship between the two countries is still acceptable.
The key point is that after the Liangxia Empire officially declared war on the Nayi Empire, and several days later, the Luosha Federation did not make any statement.
Don’t forget that this series of conflicts all arose from the Luosha Federation.
Even if the Liangxia Empire and the Nayi Empire only took advantage of the conflict between the Luosha Federation and the Wanhai Kingdom, the Luosha Federation would definitely not be able to get rid of the relationship.
Not to mention declaring war on the Seyi Empire with the Liangxia Empire, the Luosha Federation should also make diplomatic statements, such as condemning the sneak attacks launched by the Seyi Empire.
In addition, since the reconciliation with the Liangxia Empire, the Luosha Federation has been adhering to the policy of alliance with the Liangxia Empire.
Strictly speaking, this is the basic strategy of Luosha Federation.
So, what reason does Luosha Federation have to stay out of the matter? Why did Ambassador Luosha listen to Hale's nagging for several hours?
There is only one answer: Luosha Federation does not trust the Liangxia Empire.
In peacetime, alliances are just a piece of paper and the verbal talk of diplomats. There is no major conflict, so you can live a good life, I will live a good life, and everyone will live a good life.
No matter what kind of alliances, they are aimed at obtaining, realizing and defending the interests of the country. There are no real enemies and friends.
When it comes to war, that's different.
To put it thoroughly, if the Tyman Empire changes its mind one day, the Liangxia Empire will not be grudges, and the Luosha Federation, which is trapped in the middle, can survive?
If the situation in the last war reappeared, no royal family could sacrifice now.
Obviously, the Luosha Federation must consider this situation, so there is no reason to reject the goodwill of the Newland Federation. After all, among the many powerful powers, only the Newland Federation and the Luosha Federation do not have direct and severe conflicts, and are most likely to become the ally that the Luosha Federation can rely on.
But the question is, is the Losha Federation an ally that the Newland Federation can rely on?
