Chapter 1167 - 1167 185 The Concept of the Five Nations Alliance_2

1167: Chapter 185, The Concept of the Five Nations Alliance_2 1167: Chapter 185, The Concept of the Five Nations Alliance_2 An Orc Empire is already enough for us to endure, but if we add the Alien Coalition, the military pressure on the Kingdom would be too great.

To ensure the strategic security of the Kingdom, we need more allies.

Apart from Moxi Duchy, we must also consider incorporating the Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent into our alliance scope!”

Prime Minister Duke Newfoundland’s words struck a chord with everyone’s deepest concerns.

The Alpha Kingdom, isolated in the Northern Continent, has always been in a perilous situation.

It is clear from the expansion of Moxi Duchy that the Kingdom is in desperate need of allies.

Everyone wishes Moxi Duchy were stronger to share the military pressure of the Kingdom, without any thoughts of suppression.

The Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent are in the same dire situation, living under the threat of the Alien Coalition with an uncertain future.

If it weren’t for some past displeasures with the Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent, an alliance would have formed long ago.

Even the greatest conflicts are trivial in the face of survival.

Especially since previously, it was only political maneuvering and had not escalated to armed conflict.

After facing harsh realities, it is estimated that the ambition of the Three Kingdoms in the Northern Continent has been crushed.

Being able to handle the threats from Different Races at their doorsteps would be a cause for celebration.

The unrealistic dream of contending for continental supremacy in the north is now awoken from.

“The difficulty of aligning with the Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent is not great, but the key issue is how much benefit this alliance can bring to the Kingdom.

Judging from the performance of the three countries in the continental wars, only their Standing Army has some combat capability, but their overall military quality is far inferior to that of the Kingdom.

It’s only against Different Races that soldiers have no choice.

If it were a civil war among the Human Race, the Kingdom alone would cripple all three of them!

Once an alliance is formed, we would inevitably need to provide military assistance and help train their armies.

As neighbors who have previously had conflicts strategically, without the threat from Different Races, we and the Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent would be competitors.

Enhancing their military strength now could potentially become a stumbling block in the Kingdom’s path of growth.

With such great risks, as the benefiting party, the Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent should provide us with some compensation, right?”

Hudson said smilingly.

He does not oppose forming an alliance, but compensation is definitely necessary.

If it weren’t for the fear that Orcs might start a new invasion in the coming years, he wouldn’t even bother with the Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent.

There’s no choice, who told the Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent to be so incompetent?

Possessing national power yet being dominated by Different Races.

Power is the right to speak.

If they sit down together again, the Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent, when facing the Alpha Kingdom, will inherently be at a disadvantage.

“Marshal, this compensation might be difficult to obtain.

The Three Kingdoms in the Central Continent are currently busy licking their wounds; many provinces have been destroyed in the war, and they are no longer as wealthy as before.

Just looking at the change in fiscal revenue can tell us, before the outbreak of the continental war, the Black Forest Kingdom had an annual income of thirty to forty million.

Now this figure has been slashed in half.

The income on the books is only slightly higher than ours.

Due to the different tax systems of the two countries, the Kingdom’s taxation also includes some in-kind items, and in reality, our financial situations are quite similar.

Of course, if we request that the Black Forest people return the Columbia Country, they might agree.

However, it is regrettable that this is meaningless; after the baptism of war, Columbia has basically been demolished.

The original Royal City has already been reduced to ruins under the forbidden spell.

The local surviving population is even less than the Black Forest people’s stationed troops, completely lacking the conditions to be independent again.

If the Kingdom were to occupy directly, it would increase our bordering area with the Elf Race, which is totally not worth the loss.”

Count Francis shook his head and said.

If there were any profits to be made, the Department of Foreign Affairs would have already taken action.

The delay until now and the frosty relations between the parties are mainly because after forming an alliance: the Kingdom gives more but gains less.

Nearly perfect reasoning once again made the atmosphere in the hall heavy.

Everyone being in straitened circumstances, the difficulty of gaining benefits from each other can be imagined.

…

Not only the Alpha Kingdom felt the pressure, but ever since the news of Charles III’s intentions to proclaim himself Emperor spread, the entire Continent was in an uproar.

The difference is: members of the Alien Coalition are watching the excitement, while the major forces of the Human Race are wailing in despair.

The Frank Kingdom shows signs of becoming a superpower, as competitors, the Clergy and Iberia Kingdom, how could they not react.

However, the two also have significant conflicts and lack the drive to unite, which is why they have not come together until now.

If Charles III becomes Emperor, it would be completely different.

“Emperor” is not only a prestigious title but also carries immense political influence.

If the countries of the Human Race all go and mix with the Frank people, wouldn’t these two be in an awkward position?

If they do not take measures to counteract, under the suppression of the leading nation, these competitors might completely decline within a few decades.

Civil strife is set to rise, being calm is impossible.

If it weren’t for their lack of capability and significance, coupled with the fact that it is currently just a rumor, many countries would have already gone over to persuade.

The Black Forest Kingdom, as one of the unfortunate countries in the Central Continent, has endured pressures way beyond its limits.

“Is the news confirmed yet?
