In recent years, Brooke has long noticed the rise and threat of the Ivan Empire. In fact, he has used many countries on the mainland to block and suppress the development of the Ivan Empire, and even secretly supported the common enemy with Europa, the Audes Empire of the Star Moon Cult, to support the common enemy of Europa, the Star Moon Cult.
, support them to fight on the forefront of the Ivans.
Ivan is Oders' feud. Both sides have been entangled for hundreds of years since the Ivan region was just a principality in the Middle Ages, but which one of Oders and Europa is not a feud?
So even if there is a struggle for faith, it is still ranked behind interests. As a country of Illuminati, Brooke's approach is strictly a betrayal of class beliefs, but this kind of thing is not easy to discuss in public.
, and no one else can catch any evidence.
What Brooke has been advocating for the past two hundred years of its rise is the balanced policy of the mainland. From the thousands of years of war with Franz on the other side, the Brookes understood that it is very difficult to counterattack the mainland with the power of islands.
A wise thing.
This is also the ancestors of the Brook royal family who saw that they could not get Franz's domestic recognition, so they took the initiative or were forced to abandon Franz's crown, separated from the Stuart family, founded the Alfred family, and retained Brook's crown.
The more dazzling crown now.
The facts proved that the founder of the Alfred family was still very wise. I didn't see Franz in recent years even the emperor was executed and imprisoned at least two times. The city wall changed into a big king's flag, and all three dynasties fell to the revolution.
Under the butcher's knife.
Although the Stuart family, the most orthodox Iris dynasty of Franz, still had heirs, their strength was actually not as strong as the original branch of the Brook royal family.
Currently, Franz is under the rule of the Second Republic of Franz, but within the Stuart family and its branch of the Louis dynasty, as well as the three major restoration forces of the Bonamerican dynasty that had previously established glorious but ended in two generations.
It is hostile to each other, and there are countless revolutionary competitions or connections. It can be said that the Second Republic of Franz is like a powder barrel sitting on a stove, and a little bit of Mars is just a little bit.
Of course, this is inevitable that the hostile countries such as Brooke and the Holy Empire will do secretly, but the real reason is the Franz people's natural romantic and free personality.
Another meaning of romance is scattered, and another explanation of freedom is that it is not subject to discipline. Therefore, the Franz people never investigate the reasons for the various government decrees issued by the government. As long as they feel that they are not friendly to themselves, they will march to protest.
If the government does not agree, then revolutionize and overthrow one government and replace it with another.
Therefore, Franz is called the birthplace of Europa's revolution and reform. These are all historical reasons, especially the capital Paris, which is even more "a beautiful name" of "the holy place of Europa's revolution"!
Brooke, an island country, couldn't even solve the problem with a Franz on the other side, so the Brookes, who seemed to have lit up some kind of political power skills, thought of another solution.
Since we cannot conquer you, we can also start from within you to provoke conflicts. At that time, I will be my overseas overlord, and you will not be able to intervene if you make a fuss on the Europa continent.
This is the so-called "continental balance policy".
To put it bluntly, it is to support one wave after another. Which powerful country on the continent has emerged, and it is a threat to Brooke if it shows signs of a unified continent. Then support his opponents to fight against him. Without an opponent, it will be artificially built up.
opponent.
This is a kind of conspiracy. There are many smart people in Europe. However, even though they know the problem, the targeted countries have to take this trap for historical reasons and geopolitical relations.
Because I am indeed either a feud or a dispute over interests with the other party, it is difficult for both parties to completely reconcile.
The one that poses the greatest threat to Brook's world hegemony is undoubtedly the Ivan Empire, which has a strong population advantage.
Brook, who claims to be unsettling, has only more than 20 million people including the Brookians in the colonies. The Ivan Empire currently has a population of nearly 10 million, which is almost comparable to the entire European countries.
What Brooke was afraid of was that the Ivan Empire, like Franz and the Holy Empire, had the potential and strength to unify Europa, just like the ambition to conquer the continent, I'm sorry, the Ivan barbarians never concealed it.
The Bonama, which was not prosperous for a while, was defeated, and the Holy Empire was divided into two. These were the efforts made by Brooke to protect his hegemony over the past two hundred years.
Harry deliberately compared the White Eagle Federation with the Ivan Empire and brought it to the same level, which indeed attracted more attention from everyone present.
Then Harry said with a heavy heart:
"Maybe the Ivan Empire has developed, and we can still use them to fight against the White Eagle Federation in the future, but most of the land of the Ivan Empire is the mountains and dense forests on the edge of the continent and the cold wastelands in the north. Although the population is large, it is still a serfdom.
In decades, it may not necessarily be able to enter a completely civilized society. Such strength is simply impossible to compare with the White Eagle Federation, which occupies the most elite area of the New World and has unlimited potential. Moreover, only if it is strong, it will not be threatened by others. Therefore,
Facing the likely opponent of White Eagle Federation, we must make arrangements in advance!”
These words made the men present look at each other with admiration.
Originally, they only looked at Harry, a young man, with his extraordinary potential, but they did not expect that they also had such a brilliant view in politics. They couldn't help but increase the importance of His Royal Highness the prince a further level in their hearts.
You should know that a silver power can be said to be of little help to the hegemony of the empire, but a politician with a good vision and long-term knowledge can influence the outcome of a war and even the rise and fall of a country.
Even Prince Elbert, who doesn't like Harry very much, has to admit that Harry's excellence is indeed the best son of the younger generation in the current Alfred dynasty.
It's right.
So he also said:
"Prince Harry is right. In terms of war potential, the strength of the White Eagle Federation is indeed stronger than that of Franz. If they are allowed to continue to develop, we may all act in the future depending on the expressions of these descendants of exiles!
”
The Navy Secretary spoke again:
"Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I missed this opportunity to unify the White Eagle Federation. I'm afraid we will not have the opportunity to prevent them from unifying the north of the new continent. Once the descendants of those exiled people are unified in the north, it belongs to
Our Europa and the United Kingdom’s era of the empire that never sets in the sun is likely to end!”
The Chancellor frowned and refuted:
"It's a bit too alarmist to say this? I admit that the White Eagle Federation has great potential, but unify the North Land? Do you think our Royal Navy is a decoration? And the New World is not a member of the White Eagle Federation, and Santis' side
But it is not inferior to the second-rate European powerhouse..."
The foreign minister who knew the most about the situation in various countries but spoke very little because he was the confidant of the previous prime minister.
"No, that's right. Even if we join forces with Franz and the Holy Empire, it is likely that in a few decades, we will not be able to resist a White Eagle Federation that unified the Northland."
