Losing international credibility is a very troublesome thing.
Just look at the Ivan Empire. After being revitalized by several generations of tsars, the Ivan Empire is the largest country in the world in terms of area and population. Brooke's number one in the world is too watery. It means that all colonies and indigenous peoples
The population is included in the calculation.
And the Ivan Empire is the real number one. It is called the European Steamroller. It can easily recruit millions of troops. The number of standing armies is so huge that it can almost compete with the Old Continent except for the two great powers of Franz and Brooke.
The standing armies of all countries combined were compared.
Of course, this is just quantity. In terms of quality, whether it is the Holy Empire, the Northern Holy Empire Alliance or even a small mountainous country like Schwaz, the military quality can completely defeat the Ivan Empire.
But it is precisely this wave of reckless violence that scares all the countries in Europe the most, especially the small countries close to the Ivan Empire.
If it weren't for the support of the great powers behind them, they knew very well that the Ivan Empire could easily crush small countries like them at any time.
Even for a powerful power like Ivan's Empire, the Tsar's repudiation in declaring financial bankruptcy twice and a series of government defaults offended the capital of various countries, which resulted in a loss of credibility. Now it has an extremely poor reputation internationally, and there are basically no capitalists.
I am optimistic about the economy of Ivan's empire, and it is very difficult to borrow money.
In terms of international trade, the Ivan Empire can only use foreign currencies such as Brooke Gold Pounds or real gold and silver to settle transactions before others agree.
Of course, there are many secret slanders from various countries. After all, the Ivan Empire is a threat to them, but this is also directly related to the immature political methods of the rulers of the Ivan Empire.
I have never seen that whether it is the Double-Headed Eagle family or Franz's cabinet, even if they lose the war or a new cabinet comes to power every period of time, there are still people who dare to lend them a lot of money. This is the good reputation they have maintained for many years.
benefits brought by.
Although the Kingdom of Emsdan lost its territory in the Old World, the countries in Europe still regarded it as a traditional kingdom in the Old World out of sympathy and in-law relationships with the royal families of various countries, rather than as a rebel after colonial independence in the New World.
Country bumpkins and nouveau riche.
That's why these Brooks lamented that even if they were as powerful as them, they still had to abide by some ancient rules and not act recklessly based on their strength. Otherwise, it is estimated that most of the countries in the world would be conquered by Brooks.
Although Brooke's army is relatively weak, its navy is the best in the world. Its strength is almost equal to that of Franz, who is ranked second, and the navies of all other countries combined, and may even be better.
After all, the navy is a branch of military service that requires quality and experience. It is not possible to make a complete comeback simply by relying on numerical superiority. What's more, Brooke's number of warships and elite navy are also staggering.
Although Brooke cannot attack the mainland, it is an act of delivering food. No rational ruler would make such a plan, but they can completely block other countries' ports, affect the enemy's import and export trade, and bring down the enemy.
their economy.
This is especially a great threat to some coastal countries and island countries with limited geographical reach.
But now the Emsdan royal family is about to face the risk of extermination. The old king has an old illness. After rushing to the most advanced medically developed places in the Old World, the Royal Sanatorium of Brook Island and the Kingdom of Lorraine Church Hospital for treatment, he returned to Ems.
The Antilles, the last homeland of the Dan Kingdom, awaits its final arrival.
This gives Brooke the opportunity to intervene without using force. If the Emsdan royal family is going to select an outstanding son from a group of relatives as the heir to the throne, the Brooke royal family and the branch of the White Eagle Federation are currently the most powerful.
Advantage candidates.
The three Brooke Islands, which are isolated from the Europa continent, have always pursued a policy of balancing among the mainland countries. In the past, the three islands were not unified internally and this was not obvious when the national power was still weak. However, they began to join more than two hundred years ago.
After the great wave of maritime colonization that divided the world, this country began to grow rapidly because of its innate geographical advantages.
The balancing policy was so messed up that it deceived many people and was derided as a Europa troublemaker by many countries.
Harry understood the situation. Even though he was called a prince, he was a candidate introduced by Brooke, and he was a descendant of the royal family, but in fact he was just the son of a duke, the nephew of the queen, and he was not called a prince.
Just recently, it was because he was favored to compete for the throne of Emsdan that he received special care from the queen's grandmother.
So he attaches great importance to this opportunity.
This is his best chance to get rid of the pressure of his family and the shadow of his future. He doesn't want to be raised by the family and wait to die like his father, or like most of the side branches, master a certain ability and go out to be self-reliant, and his descendants will become
Ordinary nobles even lost their noble status.
Otherwise, as the country with the most colonies, it is not uncommon for Brooke to master the entrance to this kind of plane war. As a member of the clan, as long as you make a little progress, you will have many opportunities to enter. It is not a mistake to come to the distant Emsdan to enter an unknown new star realm.
Go on an adventure.
"The imperial royal family was married to Emsdan one generation ago and three generations ago, and they are considered very close cousins. However, the White Eagle Federation is a branch of the same family that has direct blood ties with the Emsdan royal family. Although it is from Clerk
Counting Rouse's father's generation, they are already cousins one generation apart from Emsdam, but after all, they are the same great-grandfather and belong to the same clan, and White Eagle
This branch of the Federation has only intermarryed with the old nobles of the New World. It has not lost the blood of the nobles and the face of the royal family. In the eyes of the traditional nobles of the Old World, we are still the closest blood family. In terms of blood, we are better than all others.
There are other candidates, but Klaus is weaker than Hessenser, so this time we must persuade the other party to give up the competition, or let the other party have no chance to compete..."
Prince Harry said this with a hint of ruthlessness.
"Our main opponent is still the peacock-like Klaus. As for Henry, the son of Lucian, the head of the Hessenser branch of the White Eagle Federation, he has given up this opportunity. It is said that Klaus and Henry have another
My cousin was expelled from the family before they were born, so we don’t need to pay attention to them, but we can do something about those three people in the future."
After listening to Harry's reasonable analysis, Earl Gauss, who had the highest status as an attaché, nodded with satisfaction.
Those who expressed praise were afraid of clapping their hands.
Although he is still a little less enthusiastic than a seasoned politician like him, he has already shown his talents and is definitely among the top five outstanding beings among his peers in the royal family.
As expected of his chosen candidate.
As a royal adviser, his task is to make suggestions for the battle for the throne and check for deficiencies. Compared to the young Prince Harry, the royal family and parliament still trust him, the adviser known as Brooke's Fox, more than the young Prince Harry. Otherwise, he would not
In just a dozen years, he went from being the second son of a small family to becoming a real nobleman with an earl title and a small territory.
"It seems that our Prince Harry has done a good job. He is able to think of taking advantage of his opponent's enemies. He has already mastered the essence of planning before taking action and taking one step at a time."
Being able to make decisions before taking action, having a relatively long-term vision, and being ruthless, Harry was already a qualified politician in his opinion.
He deliberately gave Harry the information about the split of the White Eagle Federation's Hessensel branch in order to test His Highness the Prince's actions.
