Chapter 1439 The Rebellion of the Knights of the Round Table (Part 1)
The minister's remarks aroused the echo of many ministers.
Many civil and military ministers came out one after another and loudly agreed with the point made by this minister just now - if they form an alliance with the Britannia Empire and join forces to attack the Frankish Empire, the Britannia Empire will turn its troops to attack our Holy Sea. What to do with the Lan Empire?
Everyone in the hall, including Vasili, focused their attention on Bancro who was standing in the center of the hall to see how Bancro planned to answer this sharp question.
Regarding the pointed question raised by the minister just now, Bancro just-sneered a few times.
Then he responded loudly:
"The concerns your noble officer just raised are really funny."
"After our country joins forces with your country to defeat the Frankish Empire, what should we do if we turn our troops to attack your officials? Don't you all here think this worry is ridiculous?"
"After our country and your country joined forces to attack the Frank Empire, why did we come to attack your country?"
"Our country has only one enemy from beginning to end - the Frankish Empire, which has been at war for hundreds of years!"
"The reason why we sent troops to attack the Luolin Empire last year was actually just to prepare for the subsequent attack on the Frank Empire!"
"The leaders of the Luolin Empire are capricious! They cannot be trusted!"
"Four years ago, when our country was engaged in an unprecedentedly brutal Great Patriotic War with the Frank Empire, the Luolin Empire actually ignored the peace treaty with our country! It hoarded a large amount of military supplies and troops on the northern border!"
"The intention is to send troops to attack us while our country is fighting a bloody battle with the Frank Empire!"
"Fortunately, our country's diplomatic envoy, Vivian, turned the tide and single-handedly put out the war that was about to break out in the south."
"But this treacherous act by the Luo Lin Empire still breaks our hearts!"
"So we cannot leave such a country with a dark history of treachery behind us!"
"Although the Frankish Empire is now weakened, it cannot be underestimated."
"If when our country launches a war of annihilation against the Frank Empire, the Rollin Empire in the south suddenly launches an attack on the south of our country, our country will not be able to bear the situation of a two-front war."
"In order to avoid such a situation, we had no choice but to send troops to destroy the Luolin Empire first."
"Let the rear no longer have any worries."
"Only when the rear has no worries, can we dare to free our hands and feet to deal with the Frank Empire!"
"Whether we choose to form an alliance with your country or attack the Luolin Empire, we all have one goal in mind - the destruction of the Frankish Empire!"
"So - our country is not a war-hungry war machine."
"Every fight we fight is for a reason."
"The defeat of the Frank Empire means that the ultimate goal that our monarchs and ministers have been working hard for all these years has been achieved."
"After the destruction of the Frank Empire, our country will choose to recuperate and recuperate for a long time in the future and will no longer launch wars with other countries."
"So there is no need to worry that after we defeat the Frank Empire, we will turn our troops to attack your country."
"What reason does our country have to attack your country?"
"and--"
Having said this, Bancro paused.
Then a somewhat self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.
"How can our country have the ability to attack and destroy your country?"
"Even if we succeed in destroying your country, how can we have the ability to govern such a large area of land?"
"Our Britannia Empire is not the Suyingland Empire during the period of the 'Knight King' thousands of years ago."
"Our Majesty Ilsa does not have the lofty ambition to unify the continent like the 'Knight King' Arthur."
"Even the Su Yinglan Empire, which was as powerful as the 'Knight King' period, couldn't accomplish the feat of unifying the continent, right?"
“The Suyinglan Empire during the ‘King of Knights’ period failed to accomplish the feat of unifying the continent, and it is even less possible for our Britannia Empire to do so.
"
As soon as Bancro's words fell, the minister who was the first to ask "What should the Britannia Empire do if it attacks the Holy Hiran Empire after destroying the Frank Empire?" gave a cold "hum" and then said :
"As far as I know - the reason why the 'Knight King' Arthur's feat of unifying the continent failed thousands of years ago was purely due to bad luck. It was not that she and her empire were incapable."
"If some of the Knights of the Round Table under her command had not launched a rebellion, 'King of Knights' Arthur would have really been able to complete the unification of the continent."
"No, no, no." As soon as the minister finished speaking, Bancro immediately refuted, "Your Excellency, you are wrong."
"Over the past thousand years, countless historians have conducted extensive research on the Suyingland Empire during the period of the 'Knight King'."
"One of the most popular research topics is - 'If the Knights of the Round Table headed by Loni do not launch a rebellion, can Arthur complete the feat of unifying the continent?'"
"There is enough research material on this subject to fill this hall."
"Most historians believe that even if the Knights of the Round Table led by Loni did not launch a rebellion, Arthur would not be able to unify the continent."
"At that time, the Su Yinglan Empire had long been in a state of being strong on the outside and weak on the inside due to continuous wars."
"Civilians in the country cannot bear the years of war and are resentful."
"The civilians in the occupied areas are also planning an uprising because they don't want to become the people of a fallen country."
"With the country's weak national strength and turbulent domestic undercurrents, even if the Knights of the Round Table are still united with the 'Knight King', it is impossible to unify the continent."
At this point, Bankro realized that he seemed to have gone off topic.
He should have come to explain to the monarchs and ministers of the Holy Hilan Empire that their Britannia Empire would not do anything wrong to their Holy Hilan Empire.
But inexplicably, he brought up Arthur, the "Knight King" a thousand years ago.
Bankro once heard a friend who studies history say that history always has all kinds of amazing coincidences.
And now Bankro understands his friend's point of view.
Thousands of years ago, a famous queen was also determined to unify the continent.
That was Arthur, the "Knight King" of the Suyinglan Empire.
After boosting the weak national strength of the Suyinglan Empire in a very short time, "Knight King" Arthur led her Knights of the Round Table to attack all directions, determined to unify the continent.
During the "Knight King" period, the Suyinglan Empire, at its largest, occupied two-thirds of the continent.
Judging from the difference in military strength on paper, even if the remaining countries united, they could no longer pose any threat to Arthur's Suyinglan Empire.
Arthur was only one step away from her dream of unifying the continent.
Unfortunately, just when Arthur was only a little bit away from her dream of unifying the continent, her most capable and trusted subordinates, the Knights of the Round Table, launched a rebellion.
