Vol 2 Chapter 1246: Liber's choice

In Liber, it is not common for Cassius to react in this way. However, if others learn why Cassius is like this, I am afraid they will no longer be surprised.
The boss of the private company "RA", Aran Richard is on a business trip in Kalvard at this time. On the surface, he has accepted a commercial commission from the private sector. In fact, he went to explore the domestic situation in Kalvard Republic. On the empire side, Olibate’s contacts will pretend to be nonchalant and reveal a lot of confidential information from the empire, but the Republic side does not have such conditions. Therefore, Richard often travels to the Republic in person, uses various identities as a cover, and then leaves calmly before attracting the attention of the "CID".
This time, Richard’s message caught the attention of Cassius: The Republic of Kalvard has learned about the imperial movement from some channels-"Iron and Blood Prime Minister" Osborne has dealt with domestic issues. He is about to visit Clos Bell in person in the near future to make a so-called "victory speech", and President Rocksmith of Calvard has begun to gather forces and intend to surprise the Prime Minister on the day of his speech. Although the Republican army has a headache for the imperial army's new weapon, the mechs, and the small units have been unable to break through the elite resistance brought by Lufas El Barrea, the Republican army is gradually adapting to it, and the president also Constantly increasing weights. In any case, Prime Minister Osborne’s decision seems to be quite bold, and it can even be said to be a little brave.
"According to various sources of intelligence, the Republic is likely to prepare an operation different from the past. There will be an entire air force wing cooperated with ground forces of the same size to attack Clospel under the occupation of Ereponia. The current strength of the Governor’s Mansion is difficult to completely withstand this attack. However, Prince Olibate’s intelligence shows that the Prime Minister did not intend to use the rest of the regular army; therefore, it can be speculated that the Prime Minister has a trump card in his hand that may influence the situation of the battle. According to previous information, the "Gray Knight", who had previously been famous in the Civil War, is likely to help. "
"Hey..." Cassius sighed heavily. He has mixed feelings about this little brother who has never met before, but has already heard of his name. As a warrior, there are expectations and admiration for the bright future and talented descendants, and there is also the jealousy and uneasiness of being a Liber towards the empire. As a veteran power, the empire has never lacked the inheritance of martial artists-Van Dijk and Mateus, the pillars of the past, are still old and strong; Victor and Alleria are now the mainstays of the martial arts world, and Levi has gradually Untie the knot and try to integrate into the life of an empire; in the new generation, there is a newcomer like Li En with a bright future. Although I don't know the level of this junior junior who hasn't gotten Ao Chuan yet, since he can be valued and given high hopes by that picky old man, then the future is obviously something to look forward to. Even if he does not count as an extraterritorial character like Heliga, the empire will retain a number of extraordinary powerhouses of the same level as him for a foreseeable period, but Liber's side, only he can stand it.
He and Victor once had friendships when dealing with the "religious group" case. He believed that the other party was a man of noble character, so the disciple "Raksha" he praised was probably not much worse. If these extraordinary powerhouses have a strong sense of honor, then I can rest assured... But what has caught his attention now is Li En's rather unclear tendency-the empire can't say how noble the behavior of the autonomous state is. , If he is not an imperial soldier, why did he drive that "riding god" to assist the prime minister again and again? Does he agree with the prime minister's ideas? Or……
Suppose that there will be an ambitious master in the next generation of the empire, and he has considerable influence in the army...By then, I am afraid that I will be the same as General Morgan in these years, and I will not be able to do it when he is old. NS. Now that the empire's guiding force technology development level has been significantly improved, even if you give yourself another chance, it will be difficult to replicate the miracle of the "Hundred Days War" that year.
He knows what the queen thinks. With the increasingly dangerous situation on the mainland since the Daoli Revolution, the pastoral pastoral life is long gone. In the early stage of the revolution, in order to prevent the empire from taking advantage of the weakness of the country, Kalvard had conducted diplomatic activities with many countries, including Liber, and carried out a large number of profit transfers in exchange for the stability of the surrounding situation. Transformed into a strategic space for the fruits of victory; the view of the Republic during the "Hundred Days War" revealed the fragility of this covenant. There are too many political factions in the Republic, and each government has its own diplomatic, internal affairs, and military strategies, and the point of "friending Libel" is not a principled policy to reach consensus among all parties. In fact, if it were not for the coveting of Libel's scientific and technological achievements, Calvard would be more harsh and indifferent in diplomacy-this is the conclusion that many people, including Richard, have come to.
Compared to the game of dancing on multiple eggs and choosing back and forth, it might be more cost-effective if you can find a long-term and stable support on Ereponia's side. The appearance of Olibat and his outstanding performance after his appearance in politics gave Libel’s ruling class this idea; and compared with Osborne Prime Minister who is clamoring about iron and blood, Olibat is obviously more traditional diplomat. The style of work has indeed expressed the inclination and desire to resolve international disputes peacefully. If you can have a good relationship with him, and then take advantage of the situation to be highly tied to Ereponia, then perhaps within a few decades, Liber will no longer need to worry about national security issues.
Of course, not no one opposes this view. In addition to the mainstream opposition that Olibat’s chances of winning against Upper Osborne are too slim, some people also pointed out the potential risks of Ereponia—as a country built on military fanaticism and ethics for a long time. , The so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold, maybe some things can not be solved by changing a leader or even a set of leadership. No one dares to pack votes, Olibat’s Ereponia will change its past style and become a peace-loving country, and if the future strategy is regarded as a gambling game, it would be too irresponsible. In fact, the emergence of a young careerist like Rufas Albarrea, and the fact that he is very reusable under the Osborne government, has also enabled more and more people to have a closer relationship with the empire. doubt.
Therefore, there was a meeting arranged by Cassius—a heart-to-heart exchange between Liber’s top executives and Olibate’s confidant; an exchange that determines the future fate of the two countries
