The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me"

― ― Isaac's plan for the war.

It used the ties between the Farragut Republic and the Duchy of Gridlay, which were linked by a united front.

The two countries were divided into two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Wix, before the interracial war.

― ― It was Farragut republic that rebelled against oppressive government and became independent mainly of merchants.

― ― It was in the Duchy of Gridley that the fleeing nobility gathered at the Duke's house and raised the Duke as a prince.

At that time, the king had taken a stupid policy, and the nobility's mind towards the royal family was far apart.

Still, the nobility, who had been dispossessed of their territory, wanted to reclaim it, but it would be interrupted by an inter-tribal war.

And the war with the Farragut Republic, an accomplice, is virtually over with an offer to devour the Rockwell Kingdom.

This was greatly influenced by the fact that the Duke of Gridlay and the territory of his relatives, the nobility, were safe.

The power of the aristocrats who had taken the territory was small.

Instead of fighting for nothing, he pursued the stability and interests of the Gridlay Duchy.

Isaac was trying to use that history.

The two countries have been in harmony for a while and have become substantial allies.

Destroy the relationship, make the two countries contest each other, and hate each other more than the Reed Kingdom.

That way, you won't even think about joining forces to campaign for independence in the future.

Is it possible to temporarily add the Duke of Gridlay to your side?

“Yeah, they're working with the Farragut republic by profit. If you can't buy ore cheaply from the Kingdom of Rockwell, there's no reason to work together. Together with the Reed Kingdom, they will be able to reclaim their land with ease. But it's up to them what happens after that.”

Isaac's plan was to attack the Farragut Republic first.

At that time, we will forge an alliance with the Duchy of Gridlay and ask you to stay put immediately.

Having captured most of the Republic of Farragut, the Duchy of Gridlay has sent reinforcements and the Kingdom of Reed has withdrawn.

We will cede about 60% of the country without fighting, leaving the army in a state of confrontation.

The Duke of Gridlay can say, "To prepare for the Reed Kingdom Army," and have an honorable army stationed in the Republic of Farragut.

The Reed Kingdom will dominate the West while waiting for the Duke of Gridlay to annex the Republic of Farragut.

The Royal Reed Army is a disciplined and well-mannered army that is well-equipped to send reinforcements to its allies.

But not the Duchy of Gridlay.

There will be looting and assault.

What would the people of the Farragut Republic think of that?

― ― In the areas controlled by the invader's reed kingdom, the army defended the people, and the Duke of Gridlay, who came to reinforce his troops, was rampant and unsure which side to take.

- The Reed Kingdom is better than the Duke of Gridlay.

If I could make you think so, it would be Isaac's victory.

By daring to surrender the territory of the Republic of Farragut to the Duchy of Gridlay, it creates a crack in national sentiment.

By abhorring both citizens, we will make it easier for the Reed Kingdom to rule.

Isaac thought that if we imitate British colonial rule, we might be able to do something about it.

"But this is still an early plan. There are rumors of dwarf slaves, depending on how quickly you can conquer the Farragut Republic. We need to actually consult with the military to devise a feasible plan.”

"... the army of the Farragut Republic is about forty thousand. If we combine the armies of the three countries, we will be able to do it."

One hundred thousand for the Reed Kingdom, fifty thousand for the Fartyl Kingdom, and thirty thousand for the Rockwell Kingdom.

The Farragut Republic will be well-suppressed if we can maintain a military post to support these forces.

In addition, the Farragut Republic has built fortifications and fortresses near the border with the Kingdom of Rockwell.

Creating an informant and keeping the elite in the stronghold will make it easier to suppress.

"However, we will not use this plan as it is. There are many uncertainties, and we will have to change our plans as soon as the Duchy of Gridlay moves. Besides, we are not determined to open a war with the Farragut Republic. If you don't have a cause to attack, your soldiers won't move. I'll let Lord Windsor explain the area."

Isaac sends his gaze to the Marquis of Windsor.

He, who is opposed to the war, must do his part.

I reluctantly accept the explanation.

"Even if His Majesty Garrett decides to marry His Royal Highness Loretta, we will not be able to accept both countries immediately. The kingdom of Fartyl will be a year from now, and the kingdom of Rockwell will be a two-year annexation.”

Sure thing.

Garrett doesn't think he can “sign up and become Duke of Rockwell in the Reed Kingdom today.”

I knew it would take time to rendezvous peacefully, taking into account the circumstances.

"However, we will make an announcement to the surrounding countries themselves. Two years later, the Kingdom of Rockwell becomes the Rockwell region of the Kingdom of Reed. It will also be done in the Republic of Farragut and the Duchy of Gridlay."

The current explanation is not strange or anything, just a confirmation.

Garrett thought so lightly.

"At that time, both countries will be notified to gradually increase the purchase price so that the resources of the Rockwell Kingdom will be on the market in two years' time, not immediately. As a warning from the Reed Kingdom."

"I see, that would be helpful."

The Rockwell Kingdom won't believe them easily.

If the Reed Kingdom had contacted me, I would have suffered no pain for the next two years.

Here, however, Garrett's unexpected words were released from the mouth of the Marquis of Windsor.

"His Majesty Garrett has asked the Republic of Farragut to repay the loan and suspend the interest while we sell the resources at the current price for ten years."

"What the hell!"

Two years later, he became a member of the Reed Kingdom.

At that time, it was said that the loan would be trampled down.

And yet, they go out of their way to ask me to repay and stop the interest.

I almost said, "That's not true."

But I managed to swallow the words.

That's why I came up with it.

Is that an offer for the Kingdom of Rockwell?

"That's right."

--An offer from the Kingdom of Rockwell.

In other words, two years later, there was no promise.

(Honestly, there's no need to piss the other person off from now on. You mean you'll show a friendly face until you're ready to go to war?)

Garrett thought so.

However, although it was true, it was not a full score.

"If you follow the warnings from our country and increase the buy-in price, you can do it." If there's no sign of it, I'll give you another warning. If you still ignore it, you will have to punish the country that is taking the resources of the Reed Kingdom at an unfair price. ”

Garrett's face pulls as he understands what it means.

Not only Garrett, but all the attendees on the Rockwell side understood what Isaac meant when he said, "I'm in trouble because I'm opposed to the nobility."

(Who will obey such a warning? Under the premise of trampling everything down, it is an act that deviates from the royal road, such as doing what is decided between nations. This is not the same as trampling down a loan.)

The Republic of Farragut should not heed the warning that “we have spoken with the Kingdom of Rockwell that we can buy it at the current price for ten years.”

If you allow the loan to stop repayment, you will not realize that you are not willing to repay it until you step down.

No one would think that a contract in the name of the Kingdom of Rockwell would be annulled.

I'm going to take it back and use it as a pretext for war.

While guiding the opponent off the road, he looks at the victim.

It seemed natural for those with a little conscience to think, "You don't have to do that."

“That's why I think merchants who do business with the Farragut Republic need to be ordered to sell at the current price.”

“Please, but if the merchants of the Farragut republic follow the warnings and raise the purchase price, there will be no excuse for war.”

“I don't know about that. The merchants of that country are greedy. If there is a contract to maintain the status quo for ten years, it will keep prices under control. Probably have a better chance of going to war."

Garrett looks at Isaac.

(Say that you are motivated to wage war, and leave the explanation of the core part of the war to the Prime Minister... If you have to, even my grandfather-in-law is prepared to cut it off.)

Isaac explained directly only the war part.

In fact, it was the Prime Minister, the Marquis of Windsor, who explained how sparks were made.

If you lose the war, you may be trying to escape responsibility by saying, "I told you about what happened in the war, but I didn't tell you to start a war."

In fact, Isaac gave the Marquis of Windsor his turn, thinking, "The Chancellor told us that, so we will need the Chancellor's turn", but Garrett was terrified that "if we were sweet on tenderness, we might one day be used and cut off".

At the same time, he had a sense of security that "as long as it continues to prove its value, it will be protected by a reliable king".

(Well, it's better to join forces with the devil and hope for glory than to remain an economic slave in the status quo.)

Garrett laughs fuzzily.

"By the way, Your Majesty Isaac, do you remember what happened five years ago?"

"Yes, of course."

"At that time, you knew I was going to attack the Fartyl Kingdom." The king, who had just come to power, wanted an easy-to-understand outcome like a war. I realized that His Majesty Isaac was also a child of men. "

"Ahh, I just got a chance, but that's what you think..."

Isaac also wants to take over the Farragut Republic three years after he took office.

It is not surprising that the people think that they are trying to show the good things.

"It's to keep the spark from growing up in my son's generation, but it may also be because of my selfishness in a way. But it's a good story for a lot of people. It depends on the movement going forward, but I won't lose any money."

"I hope so."

Within Isaac, the invasion of the Farragut Republic was already the established route.

However, in fact, there were people close to me who prayed that the plan would fail strongly in their hearts.

It wasn't Count Wridge - surprisingly, it was Morgan.

(If this story goes on, it will definitely be sent to the Duchy of Gridlay. I don't want to go to a place that takes two months on a one-way trip)

I was able to worship my great-grandson's face.

After annexing the two countries, I thought I'd hide out and spend the rest of my life loving my great-grandchildren.

However, at this rate, it is likely to be used for at least three years unless you feel sick.

The deputy minister, the Count of Lancaster, is the same age, so it would be difficult for him to replace him.

Besides, it's an important story, so the minister should go out on his own.

As expected, I would not give the Farragut Republic a tip-off to crush this plan, but I prayed desperately that they would make a wise decision.
