Chapter 503: Britannia Forms an Alliance with the Far East (Part 2)

If we don’t give you some assistance and help you recover quickly, how can you help us continue to contain the Holy Hiran Empire and the Frank Empire?

Naturally, Bancro would not say what he really thought in his heart. Instead, he quickly put on a smile and then greeted Crouch in a roundabout way.

In January of this year, the Huns were severely defeated by the Far Eastern Army led by Dominic, the first marshal of the Holy Hiran Empire, and lost 50,000 troops.

Although such a small amount of damage is not a serious loss of vitality for the Huns, the loss of 50,000 soldiers is still a very heartbreaking number for the Huns.

The steppe people of the Far East are natural allies of the Britannia Empire.

First of all, there is a Frankish Empire between the prairie people and them. The Britannia Empire does not have to worry about the prairie people threatening them. The prairie people cannot attack them even if they want to.

Secondly, the prairie of the Far East borders the Holy Hiran Empire and the Frankish Empire. The brave and capable grassland people located on the east side of these two countries can help the Britannia Empire contain a large amount of combat power and supplies from these two countries.

Therefore, no matter what, the Britannian Empire will not sit back and watch the Huns, who can help them contain the Holy Hiran Empire and the Frankish Empire and are their natural allies, weaken.

The Britannia Empire has always been in contact with the grassland people in the Far East through sea routes, often selling large quantities of materials at low prices or even directly giving them to the grassland people for free, so as to help the grassland people maintain their strong combat power. This will help them continue to contain the Holy Hiran Empire and the Frankish Empire.

After learning that the Huns were defeated by the Hiran army led by Dominic in January this year, the Central Committee of the Britannia Empire immediately passed a resolution and sent an envoy group headed by Bancro to travel to the Far East by sea. , giving a large amount of materials to the grassland people with low productivity and vulnerability: iron ore, silk, tea, salt...

These supplies were loaded into 12 large ships, all of which were given to the Huns for free, and the Britons took nothing.

The person responsible for coming forward to receive these materials donated by the Britannia Empire was King Youxian, the cousin of Chuangluo Chanyu.

When receiving these supplies, King Youxian smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth.

As long as they have these supplies from the Britannia Empire, they can quickly recover their strength again and again.

Giving this large amount of supplies to the Huns for nothing seemed like a huge loss, but in fact it was a huge profit.

Just like the Britannia Empire, which did not hesitate to drain the people's power and build direct roads to various important places in the empire, it was an action that seemed to be a huge loss, but the indirect income it brought was extremely high.

By allowing the Huns to quickly recover, they can continue to help them contain the Holy Shiran Empire and the Frankish Empire, and share the national defense pressure of the Britannia Empire. From this point of view, these supplies are given away for nothing. Giving it to the Xiongran people would already be a huge profit.

However, Bancro's mission to the Far East this time was not just to deliver some supplies to the Huns.

If it was just to send some supplies to the Huns, it would be enough to send some civil servants who were neither low-level nor high-level officials. There was no need to send Bank, one of Go Zewen's confidants and important ministers. Go.

The reason why Bancroft was sent as an envoy to the Far East was actually to discuss an important issue with the Crone Chanyu that was related to the future national destiny of the Britannian Empire and the future general strategy of the Britannian Empire. thing.

…

…

"Your Excellency Shanyu.

After a few simple courtesies and greetings, Bancro went directly to the topic, "I am here to discuss with you a matter that concerns both of us." important matter for the future destiny of the clan. "

Without waiting for a reply from Devious Crow, Bancro said bluntly:

"Your Excellency Shanyu, our Britannia Empire hopes to form an alliance with you!"

"Alliance?!" Crouching Chanyu exclaimed.

"Our Emperor hopes to form an alliance with His Excellency Shan Yu, and together we can attack the Frankish Empire from east to west!"

After saying that, Bancro turned his head and winked at the translator who was kneeling behind him.

The translator, who was kneeling behind Bancro, immediately handed Bancro the large map that he had prepared and had been holding in his arms since just now.

After taking the large map from the translator's hand, Bancro spread the map between him and Crouch Chanyu.

"Your Excellency Shanyu, please take a look."

Bancro made a "please" gesture toward the large map that had been laid out on the ground.

This is a world map.

"Your Excellency Shanyu, compared with the Holy Hiran Empire, the Frankish Empire is undoubtedly more suitable for your survival."

“Although the Holy Hiram Empire is large, a full third of its land is frozen soil that is unsuitable for habitation, farming, and grazing. In addition, the Holy Hiram Empire is located too far north. It is extremely cold for almost half of the year. From all aspects, occupying the territory of the Holy Hiran Empire is not cost-effective for you, Shanyu."

"But occupying the territory of the Frank Empire is different. The Frank Empire is not as close to the north as the Holy Hiran Empire. The geographical location of the Frank Empire is moderate. More than half of the land is plains with rich water and grass, which is an ideal land for grazing and farming. "

"Our empire has crippled the Rollin Empire in the south in last year's two large-scale offensives, the 'Spring Awakening' offensive and the 'Summer Wind' offensive. Now the pressure on the south of our empire has been greatly reduced, and we can draw a large number of troops from the southern front. troops."

"On the current southern front, it is enough to retain 100,000 troops."

"So our empire can now at least mobilize 100,000 soldiers of the Knights of Rachel from the southern front to reinforce other fronts."

"Our empire has now decided to fight a decisive battle with the Frank Empire within 10 years! End this hundred-year war with the Frank Empire!"

"Therefore, we decided to transfer the 100,000 soldiers of the Knights of Rachel drawn from the southern front to reinforce the Rhine front in the east."

"Our fourth knights, the Uriel Knights, are about to form an army. After the Uriel Knights, who are responsible for garrisoning DìDū and serving as mobile troops, form an army, the Gabriel Knights, Rachel Knights, Mi The Caleb Knights no longer need to allocate troops to garrison DìDū."

"By then all 300,000 soldiers of the Gabriel Knights will be able to gather on the Rhine front!"

"Coupled with the 100,000 Knights of Rachel drawn from the Southern Front, the Rhine Front will be able to assemble an army of 400,000!"

"Such a force is enough to launch a war of annihilation against a big country like the Frank Empire!"

"After five years of preparation, our empire has now formulated a rough plan to destroy the Frank Empire!"

"We codenamed this war of annihilation against the Frank Empire Southern Cross."

"We hope to form an alliance with Your Excellency Shanyu, and hope that Your Excellency Shanyu you can lead your warriors to start this great war to destroy the Frankish Empire with our Britannia Empire [Southern Cross Project] !”
