In the Name of the Queen

No one knew what Roland wanted to do.

After receiving his handwritten letter, the heads of state of several major countries were a little confused and could not understand Roland's intentions at all.

Alina read the autographed letter carefully several times to confirm that it was Roland's handwriting. She hesitated again and again, not because she felt sorry for the land on the west bank of Lake Vaal, but she was more worried about Roland's mental state.

The cost of land management on the west bank of Vaal Lake even exceeds the output, and the geographical location is not very good, so it is basically useless.

Since Roland wants it, then give it to her.

After thinking again and again, Alina picked up the quill and wrote a sentence.

"as you wish."

After writing these words, Alina bit her lip and thought for a long time before writing the signature.

"Yours faithfully

——Alina. "

Because I don’t know whether to write friend or ally in front of my name, I simply write nothing.

The word "ally" is a little too cold, and the word "friend" doesn't have enough gold.

Not to mention just the land on the west bank of Lake Vaal, even if it was more, she would find a way to get it for Roland.

After handing the autographed envelope to the State Secretary, Alina came to the large map hanging behind her desk and stared at the map in deep thought.

She drew colorful symbols on this map to record the territorial changes of the countries in the Rodinian continent over the years.

Since the Continental Treaty expired, those small countries finally understood one thing. What protects them is never a neutral stance, but the need for a buffer zone for big countries.

The Continental Treaty has ended and the Day of Return is approaching. What major powers need is no longer a buffer zone, but a wider living space.

Almost every powerful power and nation has touched the Oracle.

The goddess will come before the world is destroyed and take away the devout believers.

What constitutes piety, the goddess did not say clearly.

If the goddess doesn't say anything, the people below can only guess. However, no matter how you guess, there is no result.

Since he couldn't guess his fame, the only way left was to kill people who might be more pious than him.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the people who created the problem. This is the general solution that people have used when facing problems throughout the ages.

Only the strong are qualified to survive. After all, a goddess doesn’t need a bunch of trash, right?

It's not that the mainland treaty is bad, but that the ship ticket to the divine domain is more cost-effective.

War will eventually come.

In the past three years, more than fifteen small and medium-sized countries have disappeared in the long history of history, and the city-state of Vaal is the first.

Roland helped the Vaal city-state recover, of course, not because he was peace-loving, but because it was profitable.

Alina's eyes wandered around the map for a long time, vaguely guessing some of Roland's thoughts.

He wants home field advantage.

History has proven more than once that the expedition to Fort Saint-Rulic was the most foolish act.

The long supply lines and the fearsome Winter General will treat every tough enemy equally, especially the terrible transportation roads of the Vladimir Empire.

Being backward is sometimes a weapon.

Only by forcing the terrifying Rurik Legion out of their lair can they have a chance of victory.

Roland helped the Vaal city-state recover, which was an honest conspiracy.

He set up a ring in the city of Vaal, challenged the enemy, and waited for the enemy to come.

Will Sophia take the bait?

Alina smiled and changed the question mark into an exclamation mark.

Of course Sophia will take it up, she has never been afraid of a challenge.

Looking at the map again, Alina saw an old and huge country.

Wende Empire.

This is a country with a vast territory, a large population, a long history, and was once powerful.

However, in the past 100 years or so, this country has had several weak kings in a row, throwing the country into chaos.

As the royal family's popularity waned, power gradually shifted to Parliament.

This was originally nothing. The imperial power and the power of the parliament were in tension. In many countries, if there was a weak king, the parliament and the cabinet would take power, and if there was a wise king, the power would return to the emperor.

If that were the case, the Wende Empire wouldn't be too miserable. However, the Wende Parliament made earth-shattering moves.

One-vote veto system.

As long as one senior member of Parliament disagrees, major matters cannot be implemented.

This includes abolishing the one-vote veto system.

One-vote veto is not the problem, the problem is that there are too many people who are eligible to use it.

In recent decades, the entire Wende Empire has been in a state of serious chaos. Any changes that affect interests will be ruthlessly rejected by Parliament.

Even plans to build warships will be opposed.

The reason for the objection of the army master is simple. Although the Wende Empire is a coastal country, its coastline is not too long and there are only two or three deep-water harbors. It is better to abandon the ocean and defend the land to the death.

Putting forward such a stupid proposal, Sussex and Jinyuan would probably lose their heads, but in the Wende Empire, it was passed openly.

With such people in power, it is a miracle that the country has survived until now.

But these good times won't last long.

The border conflict between the Kingdom of Pruden and the Wende Empire has been going on for more than a year. The Wende Empire has a huge army but cannot mobilize it well. It has been beaten around by the numerically inferior Pruden army and has lost half of its province.

Although this little territory is nothing to the Wende Empire, this conflict exposed the weak nature of the Wende Empire.

The bloodthirsty wolf will not hesitate to reach out its claws to its weakened prey.

God cannot see blood, and the same goes for great nations.

The Wende Empire is the first to see blood, and will naturally be the first to die.

Alina picked up a pen dipped in vermilion ink and drew a blood-red X on the Wende Empire on the map.

The Weimar Confederation was drawn earlier than the Wende Empire.

Then she drew a few more strokes and marked the Kingdom of Talia in red.

These countries all have problems of one kind or another, and most of them will withdraw from the stage of history.

Then, she hesitated for a long time between the Kingdom of Pruden and the Kingdom of Tyrol, marking the question mark representing the unknown.

These two countries are strong and are on the rise, but unfortunately their territory is not vast enough and their resources cannot be self-sufficient. Unless a miracle happens, they cannot break through.

Moreover, although they all come from the Odin Empire, they also have conflicts with each other.

Who can represent Odin? This is a question.

So.

Alina pondered for a long time, and her face gradually became solemn.

These two countries plus the Weimar Federation are of the same origin. If a hero appears and unifies these three countries, a behemoth will be born in Central Rodinia.

There are only two and a half top players now, Sussex and Vladimir Empire count as two, and the Golden Kite Republic, which is still in the recovery period, can only count as half.

If the countries separated from the old Odin Empire are unified again, their strength will also be among the best.

Alina drew the outline of the Odin Empire, her face becoming more solemn.

No, absolutely not.

There were already three powerful countries in this world, and there was no room for a fourth.

She quickly called back the Secretary of State, rewrote the letter, presented her analysis in full, and reminded Roland to prevent the revival of the Odin Empire.

After resealing the letter written in secret language, Alina finally felt a little relieved.

No matter what Roland wanted to do, she would support him.

But she didn't know if Roland was ready to welcome Sophia to the battlefield.
