Chapter 958: Changes in the International Situation

The Southern Cross Project - a plan with the ultimate goal of destroying the Frankish Empire and ending the Hundred Years' War.

It was for this plan that the Britannia Empire formed an alliance with the Huns in the Far East.

The establishment of the Uriel Knights was also related to this plan.

In the past, the three major knights each sent some troops to station in the imperial capital defense circle.

In order to allow the three major knights to concentrate their combat power on the fronts they were responsible for, a Uriel Knights was established to specifically guard the imperial capital defense circle.

Now the garrison mission of the imperial capital defense circle has been completely transferred to the Uriel Knights. Neither the Gabriel Knights nor the Raziel Knights need to allocate troops to garrison the imperial capital.

Since the end of the "Summer Wind" offensive, the Rollin Empire has been the same as always. The fool queen has not made progress. Over the years, the national strength of the Rollin Empire has not only not recovered, but has also begun to decline year by year.

Last year, the Rollin Empire also had a scandal that the fool queen embezzled military funds to purchase milk and take milk baths.

Thanks to this fool queen, the central government of the Britannia Empire determined that the threat posed by the Rollin Empire to the Britannia Empire was no longer as great as before. There was no need to station 200,000 troops on the southern front.

Therefore, the central government divided the Raziel Knights into two, half of whom were led by the deputy commander Harry, responsible for continuing to station in the south to guard against the Rollin Empire

The other half were led by the commander Albert and stationed on the Rhine front with the Gabriel Knights.

This was considered a preliminary adjustment of troops for the "Southern Cross Plan".

According to the central government's plan, the Southern Cross Plan would be commanded by Issel as the commander-in-chief and Albert as the deputy commander. The participating troops would consist of the entire Gabriel Knights and the 100,000 troops of the Raziel Knights now sent to the Rhine front, with a total of 400,000 troops.

Although the central government of the Britannia Empire has already made adjustments to its troops for the Southern Cross Plan, it will take a long time before the Southern Cross Plan is officially launched.

Many years ago, the Britannia Empire had already been preparing for the Southern Cross Project.

However, the two large-scale battles, "Overlord Counterattack" and "Aurora Offensive", slowed down the preparations for the Southern Cross Project.

During that time, in order to focus on the Holy Hiran Empire, the Britannia Empire temporarily put aside the Southern Cross Project.

After the "Aurora" Offensive ended, the central government of the Britannia Empire picked up the Southern Cross Project that had been temporarily shelved and began to make full preparations for the war.

In the past two years, the focus of the Britannia Empire has always been on the Southern Cross Project.

Because of this, the construction progress of the ocean-going fleet is also extremely slow. The Britannia Empire now has no spare energy to take care of the ocean-going fleet. Therefore, the development of the New World, from the current situation, should be a long way off and it is unknown when it can be carried out.

By the way, the gold that Mud brought back from the New World has been spent in these two years.

All this gold has flowed to two places-the Ryan Family and the Rollin Empire.

After the "Aurora" offensive ended, the Britannia Empire did not sign any peace treaty or armistice with the Holy Hilan Empire.

So far, the two countries are still at war, but because the Holy Hilan Empire has no time to go south, and the Britannia Empire has no intention of going north, the two countries are now in a state of war in name, but in fact, a ceasefire, but the war may be reignited at any time.

Not to mention the Frankish Empire, the two countries have been in a state of war for hundreds of years.

Therefore, the only two places where this batch of gold from the New World can flow are the Ryan Family and the Rollin Empire.

For precious items such as gold, neither the Ryan Family nor the Rollin Empire is willing to miss this rare good business.

The Britannia Empire used this batch of gold to exchange for a lot of good things from the Ryan Family and the Rollin Empire.

These good things in exchange are mainly various military supplies, which are prepared for the Southern Cross Project.

The reason why the Southern Cross Project still needs a long time to be officially launched is because the required baggage is too huge.

According to the central government's plan, the Southern Cross Project has a combat force of 400,000 people.

For such a large army, the amount of baggage required is naturally an astronomical figure.

Although the central government of the Britannia Empire has been working hard to accumulate military supplies in the past two years, it is unknown when the baggage reserves will be enough for the Britannia Empire to launch the Southern Cross Project.

……

……

The international situation has also changed a lot in the past two years.

First of all, the Rollin Empire remains unchanged.

The fool queen of the Rollin Empire is not only incompetent, but also extremely healthy and long-lived, and has not died yet.

The reign of the fool queen is a great blessing for the Britannia Empire, but a great misfortune for the people of the Rollin Empire.

In recent years, the national strength of the Rollin Empire has not increased but decreased, which has caused many knowledgeable people in the Rollin Empire to suffer.

In these two years, the biggest change in the international arena is that the Holy Hilan Empire and the Frank Empire signed an alliance agreement and established the "Franco-Greek Alliance".

After the "Aurora" offensive, the completely hurt and awakened Emperor Vasili of the Holy Hilan Empire finally agreed to establish an alliance with the Frankish Empire and signed an alliance agreement.

The Frankish Empire was also a very qualified ally. After the establishment of the "Franco-Greek Alliance", Emperor Shad of the Frankish Empire immediately ordered to provide material support to the Holy Hilan Empire.

A large amount of materials, mainly food, were transported to the Holy Hilan Empire to help the Holy Hilan Empire overcome difficulties.

It was also thanks to the full help of the Frankish Empire that the Holy Hilan Empire finally survived the refugee crisis that broke out after the end of the "Aurora" offensive and saved its national destiny.

However - although the national destiny was saved, the national strength of the Holy Hilan Empire also plummeted.

In terms of comprehensive national strength, the Holy Hilan Empire probably only has half of the "Hammer" operation, that is, before the launch of the "Overlord Counterattack" of the Britannia Empire.

The Holy Hilan Empire officially fell from the throne of the "superpower". In terms of national strength, the Holy Hilan Empire may still be below the Frank Empire.

It was also after the Holy Hilan Empire fell from the throne of the "superpower" that a new argument emerged from all over the continent.

That is - the Britannia Empire replaced the Holy Hilan Empire and became the new "superpower" of the continent!

In recent years, the Britannia Empire's foreign wars have been surprisingly smooth and successful. Whether it is sending troops to help its vassal states, or fighting the Rolin Empire and the Holy Hilan Empire, the Britannia Empire has won a complete victory.

In recent years, the Britannia Empire has not tasted a defeat, and its national strength and prestige have unprecedentedly soared.

This rising national strength and prestige have made many people in other countries begin to call the Britannia Empire the new "superpower".

Not only people from other countries, but even the citizens of the Britannia Empire, whose confidence has swelled due to the surprisingly smooth wars in the empire in recent years, have begun to call their country a "superpower" and consider themselves citizens of a "superpower"...
