Chapter 161: Prelude to the Great Era (5)

　　 With the unexpected change of the Iron Stone Tribe, the curtain came to an end, and another new change occurred in the distance.
　　 I don't know since when, the anxiety on this continent became more and more obvious. And some extremely sensitive people have already noticed the turmoil that is about to sweep the mainland!
On this day, under the protection of several guards, a Falkenridge messenger arrived in Stasi’s capital city of Dean. Then he met Grand Duke Jon and formally handed over a copy of Falkenridge King Weiss. A peace agreement with General Salaka himself.
This agreement does not seem to have any major problems. After all, Fakenridge was an invaded country in this border war. All the counterattacks of Fakenridge's army were just wars to defend the country. As a shameful aggressor, Tasi was naturally spurned morally.
At this time, the war has reached this stage, and the two countries are actually very embarrassed: Stasi originally wanted to invade Falkenridge, but the Falkenridge army has already hit Taukaba in one breath; Falken Rich originally wanted to be late to defeat Stasi, but he didn't expect Stasi's foundation to be so strong, but the people of Falkenrich were a bit unable to sustain it.
　　 In fact, both countries are very uncomfortable now. One doesn't want to fight, and the other wants to fight but loses. Therefore, this peace agreement was thrown out by Falkenridge at this time, and it actually possessed quite a huge temptation. Moreover, Stasi himself had some intentions of seeking peace.
　　 Because Grand Duke Jon wanted to end this failed invasion and consolidate the domestic dissatisfaction that had arisen because of the defeat. He was summing up the reasons for his defeat this time, and found that he actually lacked a general who could win the war.
　　 Under Grand Duke Jon’s early years of iron and blood washing, although the remaining generals are loyal and have no ideological problems, their defects are also very obvious.
Including the head of Stasi’s military attache, that is, the generals and others. Although these people firmly support Grand Duke Jon, they are all people with insufficient ability. They may have a set of skills when they are engaged in politics or choose to stand in line. They are masters, but when it comes to commanding operations, they are obviously not as reliable as Falkenridge's generals.
For example, General Igor, or the newly appointed General Salaka, Grand Duke Jon had also heard of them. He only hated what he had done in the past, so that the truly capable people in Stasi no longer Dare to show up.
　　 Another reason that made Grand Duke Jon want to end the war was that in three years, the Taukaba servant army as cannon fodder was almost completely wiped out, and the main force of Stasi's headquarters was also greatly traumatized.
Since he inherited the throne of the Grand Duke, he has carefully selected the grassroots commanders, and now there are still three out of ten. As for the soldiers, nearly two hundred thousand elite troops who have been ordered by him have been taken by Falkenri. The annihilation of the Qi army, the captives, and the "Volunteer Corps" of the Tadoya Empire also suffered a lot of losses. Right now, the only troops he could use were those near the city of Dean.
　　 Although I really have to grit my teeth, it is not very difficult to smash in the blood to mobilize another 200,000 army, but obviously this is not optimistic for Grand Duke Jon.
There was also a problem in the Duchy of Sefi. Grand Duke Jon originally planned to deal with it both soft and hard in accordance with the original strategy of conquering Taukaba. In fact, Grand Duke Sefi was about to be tempted. The result was that Taukaba was completely defeated. Grand Duke Sefi immediately began to try to delay.
　　 He is waiting for a result of this war, at least a more definite result. Also waiting for the outcome of the war is the Principality of Kore, who is also holding onto which side they should make a good decision, and waiting for the outcome of the war. Although these two principalities are not strong, they are quite cunning, and they are very proficient in the strategy of survival between them, which makes Grand Duke Jon nothing.
　　 After all, now that he is in the position of Grand Duke, he can no longer be as worry-free as when he was young.
　　 Another reason is that the material assistance of the Tadoya Empire is not as timely as expected. The main reason is that the Haval Empire is more difficult to deal with than the Tadoya rulers imagined. Although Haval is the weakest among the four empires, it is a country with hundreds of years of accumulation. It's not easy to deal with, let alone Harvard unscrupulously used adventurers to join the battle...
　　 In this way, Jon used it as a life-saving aid, but it was not as effective as he expected.
Of course, Falkenridge is really unwilling to fight Stasi on the Eastern Front. On the one hand, the three-year war has caused Falkenridge’s reserves to run out, even if there was a long time ago. The two-year blood transfusion was not enough; on the other hand, the Falkenrich army did not rush into the hinterland of Stasi, completely destroying Stasi's strength.
　　 The Falkenrich army that entered Taukabah only had one hundred thousand troops with better maneuverability. As a result, the 100,000 army, which seemed to be huge, entered the territory of Taukaba, but found that it was not enough.
　　 You must know that Taukabaco is a densely populated country with an area not much smaller than Falkenridge. The area of ​​Stasi even faintly exceeds Falkenridge.
　　 Nowadays, to the west of Stasi, there is the steel line of defense of Hurricane Fortress. If you rush into it, it will only cause a lot of losses. And if you attack from the south, you must first traverse the entire Taukaba area, and then run wildly in the vast territory of Stasi...
　　 The officer of Falkenrich knew at this time that he had still underestimated the strength of Stasi in many aspects, and had underestimated the strength of the enemy.
Just as His Majesty the King and the General said at the Supreme Military Conference more than half a year ago, to win the country of Stasi, it is impossible not to conduct thorough war mobilization, to conduct comprehensive war preparations, and to establish a It is impossible to succeed with an army with more than 300,000 people and complete weapons and equipment.
　　 In short, now Falkenrich must make a gesture of hope for peace to soothe people’s resistance to war. The Falkenrich people don’t want to fight anymore. They hope that peace can be restored. This is all nonsense. When a country has occupied a country with a territory similar to their own country, everyone wants to develop peacefully. The key is to See whether other countries are willing to watch the rise of such a powerful country.
　　 So this time Falkenridge's messenger came, and even half a month ago he announced with great fanfare that he was going to Dean City-in the name of peace.
　　They must use a high-profile attitude to tell people around the world their desire for peace: "The Fakenrich people love peace. Once there is a hope for peace, the Fakenrich people will continue to work hard for this hope."
"Border conflicts often occur between countries, especially powerful countries like us. This kind of thing is caused by the high level of readiness between the two countries under mutual precautions. Our two countries have signed a non-aggression treaty, and I believe this treaty is not It was torn up by the respected Grand Duke Jon, the supreme ruler of Stasi."
　　 Falkenridge’s messenger said politely when facing the Stasi diplomat. He did not discuss the issue of compensation, nor did he explain the various conditions for the armistice. He just tried to interpret the decisive battle between the two countries' nearly one million troops as a border conflict.
　　Hundreds of thousands of troops have been fighting for almost three years. Do you think this is a skirmish on the border? If this is a border conflict, tell me how many people are required for a strategic decisive battle? five million? Ten million? Or all humans in the Western Continent fight?
　　 All the Stasi diplomats felt that they wanted to curse after hearing this, but nowadays peace is the mainstream, they have nothing to refute, they can only work hard to get more benefits.
　　 Of course Grand Duke Jon knew that Falkenrich was tangled, but Stasi under his leadership was also tangled. If everyone is entangled, then simply submitting a peace treaty can undoubtedly solve this problem.
　　 But the content of the armistice treaty of Falkenrich... is really shameless.
　　 This is also a conspiracy that Wes and Salamondo set up: They didn't plan to negotiate with Stasi, and they made this gesture mainly to soothe the people in the country and skillfully incite their xenophobia. Of course, if Grand Duke Jon was really willing to pinch his nose to admit it, then this war would be equivalent to Falkenrich's victory.
The treaty stipulates that the former Taukaba area shall be owned by Falkenridge, and Falkenridge will return only 100,000 prisoners of war in Stasi, and the other part will be permanently assigned to Falkenridge as the population of Falkenridge. Richie owns it, and Stasi wants to pay Falkenridge a full 10 million gold coins as compensation for unauthorised war.
what is this? This is an unequal treaty! Cedition of land and compensation, but also confiscated prisoners of war! Do the Fakenrich people think they have won? Well, for now, it is indeed Falkenridge that has the upper hand and is more advantageous. But as long as his Grand Duke Jon disagrees with this treaty, the war will not be over, and the Falkenrich people will not have won!
　　How can such a treaty be signed?
Archduke Jon, who has always been tough, of course will not easily accept the conditions offered by the Falkenridges~EbookFREE.me~ While he secretly ordered all the troops in the southwest of the Star to defend, on the other hand, he ordered the strengthening of Dean City. The elite troops nearby are ready to fight another fight with all their strength, and then talk about the treaty with the Falkenrich.
　　 Soon, the army of 150,000 people in the center of Stasi began to march southward, intending to start a massive battle with the Falkenridge army, which is approaching the southern border.
　　 This time, the Stasi’s army was never entrapped by leaders who did not understand warfare, because Grand Duke Jon absorbed the previous lessons and decided not to appoint supervisors, but the generals themselves to complete the front-line combat command operations.
"As long as there is a Falkenridge soldier standing on Stasi's land! The people of Stasi will never surrender! The war will never end!" After sending away Falkenridge's messenger, Grand Duke Jon Immediately there was a speech. He stood on the largest square in Dean City and inspired the Stasi loudly: "Wait until we let the Fakenrich people fully understand where they are wrong, then come and talk to them about our peace!"
Later that day, Weiss also gave a speech to his people in front of Zakif’s King’s Castle in a timely manner:
Is anyone willing to go to Stasi, help me remind Grand Duke Jon that he is provoking It is all the strong and unyielding people of Falkenrich! I am sure you will tell him that we have always loved peace, but we have never been afraid of war!"
　　 There was thunderous applause at the scene. His Majesty the King was already trying his best to seek peace for everyone, but the hateful Grand Duke Jon and the Stasi were not sincere. Free reader!!
