Chapter 1436: El's Worry
"News from the Britannia Empire?"
El raised his eyebrows and slowly put away his fishing rod.
"...Chinoel, tell me about this in detail."
"Yes! The Britannia Empire intends to form an alliance with our country. The envoys sent by the Britannia Empire to discuss the details with our country are about to arrive in Elenmuya!"
"The Britannia Empire... is going to form an alliance with our country?" El's brows slowly frowned.
Compared to El's calm reaction, Gabriel, who was standing next to him, jumped up directly after hearing what Chinoel had just said.
"Huh? The Britannia Empire wants to form an alliance with our country? Of course we rejected it! What reason do we have to form an alliance with the Britannia Empire now?"
As soon as Gabriel's shout fell, El next to him continued to ask:
"Chinoel, who is the envoy sent by the Britannia Empire to our country?"
"It's the Britannia Empire's chief diplomat - Bankro!"
"Good guy..." El laughed a few times with unclear meanings, "They actually sent the chief diplomat directly... It seems that the Britannia Empire attaches great importance to this matter..."
"Why did the Britannia Empire come to our country for an alliance without any reason...?" Gabriel muttered with a puzzled look on his face.
"I roughly guessed why the Britannia Empire wanted to form an alliance with our country." El responded in a calm tone, "The Britannia Empire probably intends to mobilize troops against the Frank Empire."
"Our country is now in an alliance with the Frank Empire. If we use troops against the Frank Empire, it is equivalent to going to war with both our country and the Frank Empire at the same time."
"Compared to fighting the 'Greek-French Alliance' alone, it is definitely more likely to win and suffer less damage by forming a 'Greek-Burmese Alliance' and besieging the Frank Empire."
"The Britannia Empire wants to mobilize troops against the Frank Empire?" Gabriel's eyes widened, "But didn't they just end the war in the south last year? Do they still have the ability to start a war now?"
"Gabriel..." El smiled bitterly, "If you go and study the current national strength of the Britannia Empire, you will know how strong the Britannia Empire is now."
"Just ended a war of annihilation, and then immediately launched a new, larger-scale war of annihilation-this is not something that the current Britannia Empire can do."
At this point, El paused.
Then he sighed:
"If the 'Hibernian Alliance' is really formed, then we may have to fight again... From fighting the steppe people to fighting the Franks..."
"The 'Hibernian Alliance' is impossible to form." Gabriel waved his hand, "Even someone like me who knows nothing about politics can see that there is no substantial benefit for our country to form an alliance with the Britannia Empire."
"The people in the central government are all a bunch of smart people, and they must understand this better than me."
"Why should we form an alliance with the Britannia Empire that is of no benefit to our country?"
As soon as Gabriel finished speaking, Chinoel, who had been standing aside and silent since just now, took over and said:!
"I agree with Mr. Gabriel's point of view! Unless the people in the central government have problems with their brains, it is impossible for our country to form an alliance with the Britannia Empire that is of no benefit to our country!"
"...You are right." As El said, he threw the fishing rod he had just pulled up into the river in front of him again.
"No matter how you look at it, there is no substantial benefit from the alliance between our country and the Britannia Empire."
"The grassland people have been driven away by us."
"At the moment of forming an alliance with the Frank Empire, there is no need to worry about being invaded by the Frank Empire, and the Frank Empire is now in a half-dead situation and does not have the strength to invade."
"At the same time, when forming an alliance with the Frank Empire, we can also guard against the current largest country on the continent-the Britannia Empire."
"So no matter how you think about it, it is best to maintain the status quo."
"But..."
Er suddenly smiled bitterly and changed the subject.
"If our majesty is a very rational person, I don't have to worry about whether the 'Hibu Alliance' will be established."
"If our majesty is a very emotional person, I can't help but feel a little worried..."
"And it happens that-our majesty is a very emotional person..."
...
...
Holy Xilan Empire, the imperial capital of Ailanmuya, in the palace-
Vashili, sitting on the throne, looked at the old man standing in front of him calmly with a look without any emotion.
The old man standing in front of him was the Britannia Empire envoy who had just arrived in Alenmuya yesterday, Bankro.
At present, Vasili and Bankro were in the meeting room where Vasili discussed state affairs with his ministers.
In addition to Vasili and Bankro, there were also Prime Minister Mond and other ministers of the central government.
Prime Minister Mond stood next to Vasili.
The other ministers stood on both sides of the meeting room.
Bankro and his interpreter stood alone in the center of the meeting room.
The Britannia Empire sent their chief diplomat here - it was enough to show how much the central government of the Britannia Empire valued this diplomatic action.
After clearing his throat, Vasili said loudly:
"Your Excellency, please speak directly if you have anything to say."
Since El won an unprecedented victory on the Far Eastern steppes and drove the steppe people to the farther east, Vasili's voice in front of people has unconsciously become much louder.
It was Vasili who promoted El to the position of marshal and commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front against all odds.
It can be said that El was promoted by Vasili.
Vasili was naturally proud that the person he promoted had achieved such an amazing achievement that was enough to leave a strong mark in history books.
And Vasili's prestige in the country also rose.
With the increase in prestige, self-confidence naturally rose.
With self-confidence, the volume of his speech in front of people naturally became louder.
After Bankro respectfully performed the Britannia Empire salute to Vasili, he said loudly:
"Your Majesty! As we have told your country before, I came to your country this time to discuss the alliance between our two countries in detail with you."
Bankro's words were accurately and quickly translated to everyone in the hall by the interpreter behind him.
As soon as the interpreter's translation fell, Vasili waved his hand and said without hesitation:
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, it is impossible for our country to form an alliance with your country. Please go back."
