Chapter 1794: "(Two in one)"

"How to settle the rebellion between Haral and Eric, have you thought about it?"
"Not yet." Ragnar shook his head without thinking.
"Then you think about the future direction of Cartergart's expansion?"
"Almost think about it." Ragnar took a map for half a day every day and unfolded it for Ezestein: "The kingdom of Bohemia in the west is not strong enough. I can lay down a territory as the territory of Wittsack. ; The Kingdom of Dessau in the south has suffered a great loss of national power over the past two years, and I can lay down a territory as the territory of Ivar."
"The Rheinland Business Alliance in the east is a group of businessmen who are the masters of their own lives. It is not much different from the lambs who are slaughtered. I can lay down a large territory as the territory of Sigde; the elf empire on the north was very powerful in the past, because of civil wars in recent years. Even the slave hunters can’t handle it. It’s a good time for us to start. I can lay down a territory to serve as Rollo’s territory."
After listening to Ragnar’s initial conception, Eisstein knew that it was not something that Ragnar woke up with on a whim, and it was indeed the result of his deliberations; the reason was that he had reasonably allocated the territory of the four people including Rollo. Eisstein can't be picky about the extent.
The weakest and the easiest to deal with in the four countries surrounding Cartgart is the Rheinland Business Alliance. Ragnar handed over the territory seized from the Rheinland Business Alliance to his least capable son, Sigde, to ensure that Sigde could hold it. Own territory; among the four countries, the Bohemian Kingdom is only slightly stronger than the Rheinland Business League, and Ragnar will hand over the territory taken from the Bohemian Kingdom to his Witsey, which is slightly stronger than Sigde. G.
The Dessau Kingdom, which is the second most powerful and has deep background in the four countries, is actually more powerful than the Cartgart Kingdom. Fortunately, the rival of the Demand Kingdom has contained most of the military power of the Dessau Kingdom. The Dessau Kingdom The military power that can be invested in their northern border is not strong, so Ragnar had the idea of ​​snatching a territory from the Kingdom of Dessau and handing it to Ivar as the territory.
This way of distribution itself means that in Ragnar’s heart, Ivar’s ability is far superior to his two brothers Witseke and Sigde, otherwise Ragnar would not think of snatching a piece from the Dessau Kingdom. The territory is handed over to him, after all, this is a territory that must be held with considerable strength, otherwise the Kingdom of Dessau can regain their lost ground with a single effort.
Of course, the most powerful of the four countries is the Elven Empire. Even if the current Elven Empire has been caught in internal melee for many years, it is not the existence of a Cartergart kingdom that can be confronted; you must know that the entire continent can build a huge empire as an alien. There are not many forces, and they can be combined with the dwarf kingdom and the orc empire as the elf empire of the three major alien countries. Their strength is imaginable.
The reason why Ragnar chose to take advantage of the imperial empire's civil war to take advantage of his opportunity to a territory from the elven empire and give it to his younger brother Luo Luo as the territory, on the one hand, is indeed because this is a good opportunity to expand the territory. On the one hand, it was because he wanted to use this territory to bind Rollo, so as not to allow Rolo, who is too ambitious and a core member of the Lodebrock family, to blend in with Cartergart's domestic affairs.
"Ragnar, have you thought about the consequences of simultaneously being enemies with the four countries surrounding Cartgart?"
"Thought." Ragnar smiled confidently. "It's nothing more than an endless war."
"Aren't you worried?"
"Worry?" Ragnar put down the map, patted Eisstein's shoulder, and looked away from nothing: "There is no fertile property or rich minerals in the land of Cartgat, only Some are brave warriors; but the brave warriors will eventually fall one day, and only the continuous cultivation of new warriors is the way of Katgat’s survival."
"What kind of warrior cultivation method can be compared to the never-ending war? The Rheinland Business Association, the Kingdom of Bohemia, and the Kingdom of Dessau, these countries will only become poorer and weaker in the face of war. Our Cartgart will become stronger and stronger. The survival of the Cartgart Kingdom requires war, and the continuation of our Lord Brock family also requires war."
"Ragna, you are such a war madman!" Eisstein heartily sighed.
"Haha! Actually, my childhood dream was to be a pirate. I felt that I must be a great pirate king in my life. Unfortunately, the Cartgart Kingdom is a completely landlocked country. I have no chance to be a great pirate."
"That's not necessarily the case," Eisstein quipped deliberately: "You can take down the southeastern territory of the Kingdom of Bohemia, and then hit the north of the Antwerp empire from east to west, so you can put Carter The territory of Ghat has expanded to the coast, and finally you will mobilize all the lords of Cartgat, and everyone will build a ship and go out to sea to achieve a great pirate empire!"
"Haha! That's a good idea. I'll do it if I have a chance!" Ragnar laughed again.
"Ragnar, then we should consider the matter in front of us." After a while of laughter, Eisstein began to return to his proper position.
"The independence of Harald and Eric is, after all, an unavoidable war. How do you think we should fight?"
"Either don’t fight for a while, and wait for the warriors under Rolo and Bjorn to be repaired before fighting this war; if you want to fight, you must fight quickly and quickly, with the strong posture of the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and halting the air. And Eric’s rebellion."
"Eisestein, you don’t know Cartgart enough. This is a war that must be fought as soon as possible. Rollo is right. If I don’t settle the rebellion of Harald and Eric as soon as possible, then I The prestige of this new king will soon be wiped out; Cartergat needs powerful kings, not waste that cannot be settled by internal rebellion."
"Ragnar, you are not without the strength to settle the rebellion, but you cannot afford the price that must be paid to settle the rebellion."
"Eisestein, you are my best friend, and you know that I cannot lose the newly acquired throne because of this peace war."
"Of course I know that you need this throne to realize your ambitions, so I visited the special envoy of the Holy See that you rejected last night and specifically negotiated with him the terms of cooperation between both parties." Eisstein admitted frankly Ragnar agreed to what was done.
"What's the result?" Ragnar never doubted the people he trusted, just as he generally didn't trust others.
"They want us to send 50,000 troops to participate in the anti-dragon alliance they are organizing. They promised to provide the weapons and equipment needed to arm the 50,000 soldiers and all the food and grass materials needed for the 50,000 soldiers to go out; They are also willing to provide us with two additional batches of weapons and two funds, one of which is for Cartgart and the other is for you."
"Although I don’t know what price they are offering to other countries, but the power behind the White Horse Kingdom and the White Horse Kingdom and the Dragon Empire to engage in a border confrontation should be them. The price they gave us in comparison Not enough."
"Ragnar, I also think that their price is not enough, but we are not the same as the White Horse Kingdom." Eisstein took out the sketch map of the continent he had prepared and spread it on the table in front of Ragnar. : "The White Horse Kingdom and the Tianlong Empire are neighboring countries, which means that unless the Tianlong Empire is really defeated by the anti-Dragon Alliance of the Holy See, the White Horse Kingdom actively seeking provocation will definitely not end well."
"Do you think the possibility of the Tianlong Empire being defeated by the Anti-Dragon Alliance?" Ragnar asked suddenly.
"Almost impossible." Eisstein replied without hesitation: "The size of the Dragon Empire is too large, with 50 or 60 provinces and territories, and a population of billions. Such a country, besides completely dismembering it, It is impossible to defeat it by just one or two wars."
"What if the Holy See is willing to do his utmost?"
"If the Holy See is willing to do its utmost, there may not be the possibility of dismembering the Tianlong Empire in World War I, but in view of the current situation, this possibility is not very likely." Eisstein turned his attention to the chaotic region on the map. Location: "The reappearance of the Heim Church has seriously affected the anti-dragon layout of the Holy See. To some extent, it can be regarded as an accident that saved the Dragon Empire."
"Since there is no possibility of defeating the Tianlong Empire in World War I, why should we join the Anti-Dragon Alliance?"
"Ragnar, I know you like the Dragon Empire, and you are also very fond of their new emperor Frederick the Great, but this is not enough to influence the choice of a king; Lord Ragnar can worship Frederick the Great, La King Gehner is responsible for Cartergat and Lord Brock." Eisstein's voice was still calm, but the words spoken were so sharp that even Ragnar had to smile bitterly.
"Well, I admit that I am selfish. We really should join the Anti-Dragon Alliance. Even if the Anti-Dragon Alliance has no possibility of defeating the Tianlong Empire in one battle, we still have many reasons to join the Anti-Dragon Alliance."
"For example?" Eisstein didn't intend to let Ragnar take the initiative.
"For example, we can get two batches of weapons, equipment and grain supplies, which can not only enhance our strength and the national strength of Carter Ghat, but also take this opportunity to increase the loyalty of allegiance to our lords, and additionally draw a group of lords to allegiance In addition, we can also use the power of the Holy See to calm the rebellion between Haral and Eric."
"With the power of the Holy See to calm the rebellion of Haral and Eric, the difficulty of operation is not low."
"What's so difficult about it?" Ragnar didn't care: "Isn't their Holy See the most powerful so-called light magic? Let them send some light priest to help our soldiers recover their combat power as soon as possible, and then let They sent some secret troops or something to add a little trouble to Haral and Eric and his son. Isn't the problem solved almost?"
"Ragnar, you think things are too simple."
"No, Eisstein, it's too much trouble for you to think about things."
"Okay, I'll put conditions on them as you wish." Eisstein, who knew how inconspicuous Ragna was, continued with a wry smile: "Then do you have any additional requirements? For example, ask the Holy See directly A port makes what Haikou does."
"It's really a good idea to ask the Holy See directly for a port to make a seaport, but I don't think it's reliable. It's better to ask them for a batch of weapons and equipment. When I think of the loot that our soldiers got out of the sea, one When I return to the port, it will be sent into the pocket of the Holy See in various forms, which will make me unable to fight the Holy See." Ragnar faithfully expressed how strong he is to possess loot.
"Then we have a right to fight, what do you think?" Eisstein preached.
"Can the Holy See agree?" Ragnar's expression also became solemn.
"I can't guarantee it, but I will try my best."
"It’s best to have the right to fight, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t come, then we should have as many weapons and equipment, grain and grass supplies, large arms, etc. as possible; we are not as good as Cartels in the southern countries. Everything is good baby."
"You can rest assured that I must find a way to maximize our interests!"
"You also have to make it clear when sending troops that you must settle the rebellion between Haral and Eric."
"This is affirmative. Of course, it is impossible for us to send troops before domestic stability is restored."
After Ragnar and Eisstein talked for a while, Eisstein left the palace, and Ragnar came to the residence of his eldest son Bjorn alone; compared to the second wife Aslaki Of the other four sons born, Ragnar's favorite was Bion, the eldest son of his first wife Lagosa, but he never showed it.
"Father." When he saw Ragnar, Bjorn paid a respectful salute.
"How many warriors can you leave at any time?" Ragnar went straight to the subject.
"Less than five thousand."
"I remember you had more than eight thousand soldiers before."
"Yes, during the battle for the throne, more than 1,000 soldiers were killed and more than two thousand soldiers were injured. Now there are less than five thousand soldiers left."
"Wait a few more days, I will arrange someone to treat your fighters so that your fighters can recover to 7,000."
"Father, do you have a task for me?"
"I want you to command the army to settle the rebellion between Haral and Eric. Will you go?"
"I will!"
"In addition to Uber, Rollo, Wittsack, Sigde, and Ivar will all go out with you. Are you sure to control them? If you are not sure who is in control, you can tell me, I will take you Those who are not sure stay in control."
"No, I will bring them back together to bring victory!" Bjorn's fearlessness is the same as that of Ragnar.
"Then take them all with you." Ragnar nodded blankly, and then said, "There are now sixteen lords who have sworn allegiance to me. You can choose half of them to participate in this. Time out."
"Can I choose my mother?"
"Although I don't want you to choose Lagosa to go with you, she is indeed one of the sixteen lords who swore allegiance to me, so you can choose her."
"Then I will still choose my mother." Bjorn's stubbornness is also the same as that of Ragnar when he was young.
