"Due to its special geographical location and bordering the three major powers in the Western Continent, Laisenberg was forced to declare permanent neutrality, which also made it a buffer zone between the three countries. As the capital, Nimshe Er even shouldered the most arduous responsibility. In the 12th century AD, the Kingdom of Great Brita, the White City-State United and the Great Empire of Mindelias held the Yongxia Conference in the city of Nimsher and signed the famous "Yongxia Conference". "The Treaty of Summer Palace", it was this treaty that established the fact that the kingdom was the most powerful country in the Western Continent."
When Ringer said this, he stopped and looked up somewhere at the edge of the city. Among the crowds of people slowly flowing forward, his actions stood out, and his companions couldn't help but follow suit and made the same actions. But I found that my line of sight was blocked by a large area of apartments, buildings and bright glass windows, and I couldn't see anything at all.
"What are you looking at?" Alice asked bluntly.
"Eternal Summer Palace." The young man withdrew his gaze: "It is in that direction, on the western outskirts of Nimsher City. It is a palace built by the ancient Kreisov royal family to escape the summer heat. Unfortunately, it seems that it cannot be seen from here. ."
"Oh?"
Listening to this name, Alice thought thoughtfully: "So, what kind of meeting you just mentioned was held in that palace? The three most powerful countries in the Western Continent all participated, so what? It’s quite grand, what is it for?”
"For a war."
Ringer continued to walk towards the municipal square where the opening ceremony was held. Others followed him, listening to the young man telling a story about human beings, civilization and history. Their figures were like the latest in the noisy and boiling crowd. An inconspicuous drop of water, the quill's wings briefly passed by, then blended into it and disappeared.
“In June 1131 AD, General Bockney of the White City-State Republic and Archduke Mainz of the Mindlias Empire ordered the border troops to have several small-scale frictions with the border garrison of the Kingdom of Great Brita. At that time, everyone thought this was just a normal small conflict. After all, the relationship between these three countries has never been friendly in history. However, no one expected that the small conflict would eventually turn into a huge war. ”
As a history college student, even if Ringer has not deliberately understood the history of the city of Nimschel, he can still narrate the stories of the past. Although his tone is dull, people can't help but be immersed in it: "On November 11, 1133 AD, In September, the Ministry of War Affairs of the Kingdom of Great Brita, on the grounds that General Buckner and the Archduke of Mainz rebelled against their country's military orders and intended to rebel, sent troops to the two countries to assist them in 'putting down the rebellion'. In December, the army crossed the border line, crossing the border without permission; in January, General Bockney and the Archduke of Mainz, who were accused of rebellion, led the army to bravely face the enemy, and the 'War of Solemnity' broke out."
"Ah this!"
Alice was shocked when she heard this: "Isn't this an active invasion by the kingdom?"
Although in the name of counter-insurgency, which country's internal rebellion needs the assistance of powerful "friendly countries" that are close by? The White City-State Republic and the Mindelias Empire are not small countries like Lesenberg. What's more?
, you can’t just draw a conclusion on whether the general and the archduke are really rebelling, right?
"It is indeed an invasion." Linge looked calm. Although he was a Briton, he had no intention of defending his motherland. Because the king who made this decision at the time was King Joseph, and he instructed the palace clerk to report this
This period of history was recorded as a "counter-rebellion", and in the later period of King Inver, he completely overturned all the decisions of King Joseph, including the tampered history, and also set things right, winning himself the reputation of "Wise King"
.
Although, such efforts to bring order to things will not change what has already happened.
"Why does the kingdom take the initiative to launch a war of aggression?" The innocent and simple Metien asked his brother in confusion: "It is obviously just a small-scale conflict on the border. There is no need to turn it into an aggressive war, right? It is not only unjust, but also
Many innocent people will be killed."
"There is no reason." Saint Xalia, who was listening quietly to the conversation, replied lightly: "Humans like to do this kind of thing, and they never need a reason."
Lin Ge also nodded: "There is indeed no reason. The political situation at that time was generally stable, and the atmosphere of peaceful exchanges between the three major powers was maintained. Therefore, until now, no historian has found out the truth of the matter.
, put forward a reliable point of view to discuss what King Joseph and the royal government were thinking at that time, and actually made such an irrational decision... But no matter what, the war broke out."
"During the Battle of Suzheng, the army sent by the Kingdom to Mindelias was led by Clausewitz, the permanent director of the Second Division of the Ministry of War Affairs, and the army sent to the White City Federation was led by Dureny, the deputy director of the Second Division.
, although both of them set foot on the battlefield for the first time, they both performed outstandingly and were recognized by later historians as famous generals at the time..."
"I said stop!" Alice interrupted him with an excited voice, which was so loud that it attracted the attention of several passers-by. However, everyone was rushing to attend the opening ceremony, so they only cast curious glances, and soon
She just poured into the crowd and disappeared. Alice didn't care about the reactions of others and asked urgently: "Which two famous generals did you just talk about?"
"Clausewitz, Executive Director of the Second Division of the Ministry of War Affairs, and Dureny, Executive Deputy Secretary." Ringer repeated it calmly, then looked at the thoughtful Alice and raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that, again?
Are you from Earth?"
"Yeah."
Alice nodded blankly and whispered as if to herself: "Clausewitz was a German military theorist and military historian. He participated in many major battles in his life and wrote the book "On War"
, made great contributions to military theory; Dureny was a general during the French Bourbon Dynasty. He once led his army to invade Turin. He was one of the six generals in French history and was once known as the sharpest sword in France.
..."
She grabbed her hair: "If I guess correctly, the prototype of the White City-State Republic is France, and the Great Empire of Mindelias is undoubtedly Germany... Let the French fight France, and the Germans fight Germany.
I'll go, this is too funny, isn't it?"
After saying that, she waved her hand rather irritably.
Everyone was silent. Although Alice's words clearly contained emotional content, if it was really what she said, no matter how rational a person was, they would only be able to say that this period of history is indeed quite vile.
"Never mind it!" Alice shook her head violently, throwing all these messy thoughts out of her mind, and then raised her head and asked Ringer: "So what was the outcome of the war, and who won?"
A muffled voice came from Metien's breast pocket: "Justice will prevail!"
This is a simple conclusion made by the little goblin based on what he saw in the story book. Unfortunately, it is not the case. What's more, in the war between countries, who is absolutely just?
"Although they had to deal with two battlefields at the same time, the kingdom's army showed extremely amazing combat effectiveness. Under the leadership of two commanders, they won the battle of Suzheng. In December 1134 AD, the army suspected of 'rebellion'
, basically all were wiped out."
The plain word "annihilation" implies countless killings, blood, artillery fire and death.
"This——"
Alice's teeth were aching. The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets in the 18th century was naturally invincible and unrivaled. But that was the 12th century. The Hundred Years War had just ended, and the Kingdom of Great Brita was still recovering from the war.
At this stage of development, where did the military strength come from to achieve such a great victory? It’s really confusing.
"Will it evolve into World War I?" Since the steam engine could have been invented hundreds of years in advance, it is very reasonable for World War I to come hundreds of years in advance.
"No." Linge shook his head: "After the Battle of Suzheng, the three parties decided to negotiate. No one knows why the dominant Kingdom of Great Brita suddenly proposed peace talks, let alone why White suffered a loss.
The City-State Republic and the Mindlias Empire will agree to peace talks. The end of this war is just like its beginning, full of unknown mysteries. Even seven hundred years later, some people are still persistently exploring the truth, but they cannot reveal it.
Uncover the secret."
Ringer, who was in college, felt regretful and regretful after having an in-depth understanding of this period of history. There are so many fogs in history that if millions of people step into it, they will only be swallowed up by the vast white void. "In short, in March 1135 AD, the three parties decided to hold a negotiation meeting, and the meeting venue was chosen to be Nimscher, the capital of the neutral country of Lysenberg. Of course, it was not called that name at that time, but was called Dorothea.
, meaning 'the place beyond the reach of the sky', the people who rule Lesenberg are not the current constitutional government, but the Kreisov royal family. At that time, King Kreisov lent his summer palace Yongxia Palace,
Provide the three parties as a meeting place, and witness and supervise the meeting in a neutral capacity."
"In the Yongxia Conference, the three parties involved were King Joseph and Minister of War Helmut of the Kingdom of Great Britta, Prime Minister Charles of the White City-State Republic, and Lord Luther of the Mindlias Empire.
Vichy II..."
"I said stop, stop, stop!"
Alice interrupted again, and everyone was stunned. When Ringer cast a silent and deep gaze at her, the genius player gritted his teeth and admitted bravely: "Yes, that's right!
