Chapter 951: Franco-Greek Alliance (End of Volume 7!)
Holy Hiran Empire, DìDū Ailian Muya, Weiyou Palace, Vasili's bedroom.
Vasily sat on his bed with a dejected look on his face, his gloomy expression making him look as if he was many years older.
It’s not impossible to understand Vasily’s current appearance and mood, because this year and last year should be the two most difficult and painful years in Vasily’s life.
After learning that the reinforcements sent to the west were defeated, Vasily cried out in pain.
Fortunately, the reinforcements sent to the west were only defeated and not annihilated on a large scale. Therefore, very few soldiers died on the spot, and most of the soldiers survived due to the rout.
The commander-in-chief of the reinforcements, Commander-in-Chief of the Central Front Nikita, was also very lucky to survive this great defeat and escaped.
Vasili did not punish the defeated Nikita too severely.
Because Vasili still has some brains, he knows that the Holy Hiran Empire has lost too many outstanding generals and quartermasters in the past two years.
In order to retain as much domestic talent as possible, Vasily punished Nikita lightly.
Knock, knock, knock.
At this moment, there were three knocks on the door of Nikita's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, it's me."
"Mond...come in."
After obtaining Vasili's permission to enter the room, a middle-aged man opened the door of the dormitory and entered Vasili's dormitory.
This middle-aged man is none other than Mond Dubois, the contemporary prime minister of the Holy Hiran Empire.
After entering Vasili's bedroom, Mond respectfully said to Vasili:
"Your Majesty, the envoy from the Frank Empire is already waiting for you in the conference hall."
"As for whether to form an alliance with the Frank Empire, the Frank Empire's envoy hopes that you can give an answer as soon as possible."
As soon as Mond's words fell, Vasili's teeth began to creak.
After learning that the Britannian Empire and the Huns had formed an alliance, Emperor Shade of the Frankish Empire hurriedly sent an envoy.
Requesting an alliance with his Holy Hiran Empire.
However - at that time, he did not take this request for alliance to heart.
At that time, he was full of confidence, and he was very confident in the "superpower" he ruled.
He believed that with the strength of their "superpower", even if the Britannia Empire formed an alliance with the Huns, there would be nothing to fear.
Then, the cruel reality that happened last year and this year completely shattered Vasily's self-confidence and vanity.
Last year, just the Britannia Empire caused serious damage to the Holy Hiran Empire.
But this year, facing the attack from the Britannia Empire and the Huns, the Holy Hiran Empire didn't even have the power to fight back.
It's not that Vasili didn't know the importance of the current alliance with the Frank Empire.
When the Frank Empire's envoy first arrived at Ailianmuya, he told him bluntly: As long as the two countries can successfully form an alliance, the Frank Empire is willing to support the Holy Hiran Empire with a batch of supplies, mainly food.
What the Holy Hiran Empire lacks most now is food.
They need a lot of food to feed the millions of refugees.
Although he knew the importance of an alliance with the Frankish Empire, Vasili still hesitated.
Because Vasili couldn't bear to look like this.
A few years ago, he rejected the alliance on the grounds of national strength.
But now, after being beaten to a pulp by the "Busch-Hungarian Alliance", he hastily formed an alliance with the alliance he had rejected before.
Where does this leave face-saving Vasili?
So until now, Vasili is still hesitant.
And Mond, who has been with Vasili for many years, has long seen these thoughts of Vasili.
After sighing silently in his heart, Mond said sternly to Vasily:
"Your Majesty, our country is now in an unprecedented danger."
"The future and destiny of our country all depend on your next decision, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please think again."
Mond did not use long speeches to persuade Vasily.
Because he knew Vasili’s character well, if he talked too much with Vasili, it might arouse Vasili’s rebellious mentality.
As expected, Mond's brief persuasion was very effective.
After listening to Mond's brief persuasion, Vasily's clenched fists and clenched teeth slowly relaxed.
"I understand..." Vasily let out a long sigh full of unwillingness, "Mond, I will not meet with the envoys of the Frank Empire."
"Go and tell the Frankish Empire's envoy: Our country is willing to form an alliance with the Frankish Empire."
"As for when the alliance ceremony will be held, we will discuss it later."
…
…
Frankish Empire, DìDū Bailu, in the royal palace.
"His Majesty."
Erwin, the prime minister of the Frank Empire, slowly approached the current emperor of the Frank Empire, Shad von Soren, and said:
"I have just received the exact news that Vasili is willing to form an alliance with our country."
After listening to Erwin's report, Shade said in a calm tone:
"That's right. It seems that Vasily is not hopelessly stupid."
Shade had always resented Vasili for rejecting his first request for an alliance.
After learning that the Holy Hiran Empire was defeated by the "Buchung-Hungarian Alliance", Shade only felt very happy.
This is schadenfreude, the kind of genuine joy you get when you see someone you hate having bad luck.
But after feeling happy, Xia De gradually regained his composure.
After regaining his composure, Shade realized that if the Holy Shiran Empire was finished, it would be of no benefit to his Frankish Empire.
Therefore, for the sake of the Frank Empire, Shade abandoned all previous prejudices against Vasili and the Holy Hiran Empire, and once again sent a delegation of envoys to request an alliance from the Holy Hiran Empire.
And this time the request went very smoothly. Vasily, who was not so stupid as to be hopeless, was finally awakened by the "Busch-Hungary Alliance" and finally agreed to form an alliance with the Frankish Empire. He formed the "Fascist Alliance" with the Frankish Empire. alliance".
After reporting to Shade about the alliance, Erwin continued:
"Your Majesty, there is something else I want to report to you."
"explain."
"After calculation, our material reserves are still lacking, and we still need..."
At this point, Erwin paused for hesitation.
After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and continued:
"It takes at least two years to prepare to ensure that the baggage reserves of the Nibelung Plan are foolproof..."
As soon as Erwin finished speaking, Shade waved his hand:
"It doesn't matter. Since it still takes two years to prepare, then just wait another two years."
"We have been preparing for the Nibelungen Plan for more than 20 years, and I don't mind preparing for two more years."
"We have staked the fate of the entire empire on this plan. To ensure nothing goes wrong, why not prepare for two more years?"
After saying that, Shade turned around and looked to the west through the window.
"It's finally about to begin..."
Shade murmured:
"The decisive battle with the Britannia Empire..."

"How long will this Pendragon defense battle last? It will last until Su Cheng and his Michael Knights return from the north. "
…
"There is something unusual happening in the Luo Lin Empire."
...
"Mr. Mu De." Su Cheng smiled at Mu De, "I never expected that my Michael Knights would cooperate with your navy again."
…
"Willy, Dengar, Alyssa, Mu De. Do you believe in miracles?"
"No." Alyssa, who was the first to speak, paused, "Su Cheng, we only believe in you."
Su Cheng looked at the eastern horizon with a dazzling light shining in his eyes.
"Since you believe what I say, then follow me closely." Su Cheng shouted, "Weigh anchor! Go to the Rhineland!"
