The three of them quickly reached a consensus and prepared to take the opportunity to send rescue troops to the lords of the Mediterranean to relieve the siege of Morocco. Their preferred target was naturally Spain, which had a feud with the Great Xia Dynasty and was the closest to it.
Of course, Spain alone is not enough, and the trio wants the entire Mediterranean to act.
Within an hour, Casillas, Juan, Henry, Caesar, and Pedro, the first lord of Portugal, all received the news of the Bactria Dynasty's war with Morocco.
Atlantis City, which was already very lively, became more and more noisy because of the news of the Moroccan national war. Through such a series of the three lords of Morocco, the thoughts of the lords of the Mediterranean were all hooked.
Seeing this, Queen Caria canceled the day's activities and left the lords to make their own arrangements. Naturally, everyone was happy, and the lords gathered in twos and threes to discuss the matter in detail.
The lords were talking about it.
Some people can't help but ask: "Was the Bactria Dynasty's attack on Morocco a temporary idea, or was it a long-term plan?" β
"It must have been planned for a long time." There are lords asserted.
"How?"
"The national war is not child's play, how can it be a temporary idea. Just look at the expressions of the three Moroccan lords, they must have been caught off guard this time. β
The lords nodded unconsciously, and said worriedly: "So, is it really possible for Morocco to fall?" β
"That's hard to say, after all, we don't know the situation on the front line. It's just that judging from the expressions of the three Moroccan lords, the situation doesn't seem to be optimistic, and the army of the Great Xia Dynasty has directly attacked the royal city of Rabat. β
A lord said: "With the calculations and consistent style of the Great Xia Dynasty, if they are not very sure, they will not do it. In my opinion, Morocco is afraid that it will be more auspicious this time. β
"Yes, in terms of military command and planning, what other territory in the world dares to compete with the Great Xia Dynasty?! They are like a peerless swordsman who likes to kill with one hit. β
The great military exploits of the Great Xia Dynasty in the wilderness have already made the lords of the world fearful.
Of course, there are those who agree, and naturally there are those who oppose it.
A lord said: "I don't think that's necessarily, Your Excellency will be too ambitious for others and destroy your own prestige." The Great Xia Dynasty was powerful, but it was only in China. This time, they have crossed the ocean and fought on the African continent, thousands of miles away, with no logistics supply base and no allies to help, which is already a great disadvantage. Morocco, on the other hand, not only has the advantage of fighting at home, but also fighting for the whole people, and may not necessarily lose. β
"That's a good point." A lord echoed, "The Great Xia Dynasty is too arrogant and arrogant this time, do you really think that if you start a dynasty and establish a country, you can not take a country in your eyes?" I think they're going to make a mistake this time. β
"This ......"
The lords of the Mediterranean looked at each other, not knowing who to believe.
At this time, someone asked another question, "Have you ever thought about what the impact on the Mediterranean Sea would be if Morocco was really taken by the Bactrian Dynasty?" β
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the lords were how wonderful and wonderful they were, everyone was a smart person, as long as they pondered it a little, it was not difficult to find their current embarrassing situation.
Once the Bactria Dynasty took Morocco, it would have gained another excellent strategic location in the Mediterranean. In this way, for the Great Xia Dynasty, the various disasters caused by the sudden disintegration of the [Mediterranean Alliance] were immediately dissipated by a small half.
It's not hard to see why.
With the disintegration of the alliance, if the Mediterranean Fleet wants to take the opportunity to dominate the Mediterranean again, it will naturally be impossible, and the Spanish Armada, the Gallic Fleet, and the Roman Fleet will not allow it, and will definitely attack it in groups.
It's just that there are wise lords who think of a deeper level.
What if the Mediterranean Fleet didn't have such great ambitions and only wanted to guard the gateway to the Mediterranean?!
For the Bactria Dynasty, which was strategically important to the city of Gibb and Morocco, it was not difficult to hold the Strait of Gibraltar.
If it really comes to that point, what is the point of the competition between the three major fleets in the Mediterranean?
At that time, the Great Xia Dynasty was afraid that it would gain a transcendent existence status in the Mediterranean, just like the current Atlantis City. Any lord who wants to trade in the oceans must act according to their faces.
This is where the embarrassment of the lords of the Mediterranean lies.
One lord said, "So, we want to help Morocco?" β
"If you don't want the future Great Xia Dynasty to ride on top of us and, then it's best not to be indifferent. I think everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, right? β
"Morocco is so far away from us, how can we help." A lord said bitterly.
Strictly speaking, Morocco is not a Mediterranean country, and its unique geographical location and little contact with the African continent are simply an enclave.
The only way to do this is by sea.
"Anyway, I can help a little."
Because their respective interests were involved, no one could force anyone, and the final result of the Mediterranean lords' deliberations was that all parties had mixed reactions.
Casillas and Juan, the two Spanish lords, as AndrΓ© expected, agreed on the spot to dispatch the Spanish Armada and immediately rush to the aid of Morocco.
"The wolf ambition of the Great Xia Dynasty must not be allowed to succeed." Casillas said.
For Casillas, this was an opportunity to justifiably strike at the Mediterranean fleet, and they naturally did not want to miss it. More importantly, they had confidence in the Spanish Armadada.
"The Armada also needs a hearty victory to announce a strong return." Casillas, on the other hand, has a good plan, and he will get up from wherever he falls.
Henry, on the grounds of non-interference in the internal affairs of Morocco, decided to remain neutral, much to Andre's disappointment, after all, after more than half a year of development, the current Gallic fleet is no worse than the Spanish Armada.
If the two fleets can join forces, it will be enough for the Mediterranean fleet of the Great Xia Dynasty to drink a pot.
Henry's refusal to interfere was because he thought he knew the Great Xia Dynasty and Ouyang Shuo better than anyone else. If the war had not yet begun, and they had detected signs of the Great Xia Dynasty's troop transfer in advance, Henry might have stepped in to stop it.
Now that the armies of the Great Xia Dynasty have reached the gate of Rabat, it is too late to come forward at this time, not only will it be useless, but it may also be dragged into the water by Morocco, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Henry was a cautious man who never took risks.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Great Xia Dynasty takes Morocco, it will not necessarily be all bad for Vic City. Perhaps, that could also be an opportunity.
Therefore, Henry decided not to meddle.
Henry is even more happy to see the "bloody move" of Casillas and others, and what is more interesting than "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight"?!
What made Andre and others even more incomprehensible was the attitude of the Portuguese lord Pedro.
Originally, Pedro seemed to intend to send troops to help, but after learning that the Spanish Armada was dispatched, Pedro unexpectedly chose to give up.
It seems that there is still a knot between Portugal and Spain.
Behind Pedro's strange behavior, there is naturally his reason and logic. Portugal was also once a maritime power, once divided the global colonies with Spain, and has a glorious history of maritime hegemony.
As the first lord of Portugal, Pedro also had a strong navy under his command, but because Pedro was low-key, this navy was not well known.
Even after the collapse of the [Union for the Mediterranean], Pedro had no intention of taking the opportunity to intervene in the struggle for sea supremacy in the Mediterranean. One of the reasons for this is the existence of Spain.
This is a hurdle that Portugal and Pedro have never been able to avoid.
Pedro knew very well that a Morocco occupied by the Bactrian dynasty was not a good thing for Portugal, after all, no one wanted to be a neighbor of a lion.
But the intervention of the Spanish Armada made Pedro temporarily put his mind down.
Thinking of the mysterious person he had been in contact with before, Pedro seemed to think of another possibility. Therefore, Pedro is ready to look up to Henry, come and watch the changes, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
"Whoever wins, Portugal cooperates." Pedro thought.
Finally, there is Caesar's attitude.
Italy is located in the heart of the Mediterranean, and it is impossible to get Caesar to send troops. Even if Caesar wanted to send the Roman fleet, I am afraid that Henry, Casillas and others would not be happy.
The struggle for sea supremacy in the Mediterranean has just begun, and the three major fleets have not yet decided the winner, so how could Henry and the others let Caesar take the opportunity to extend his hand to Morocco.
Although Caesar did not send troops, he was the most positive lord, and he led the three Moroccan lords to constantly engage in tandem, trying to provoke the lords to fight against the Bactrian Dynasty.
"Unanimous with the outside world, sweep away foreign enemies."
Caesar's slogan is loud, but the other lords may not be fooled, and no one is a fool.
In short, each lord has his own calculations.
Most of the Mediterranean lords are just watching the excitement. I didn't see it, even Atlantis City was unwilling to intervene in this national war on the grounds of neutrality.
If there is no real interest behind it, who will be this good man.
The Moroccan triumvirate went around in a circle, and it was the Spanish Armada that really moved. In addition, only a few lords expressed their willingness to take some troops with the Spanish Armada to go on the expedition.
Without exception, these lords were allies of the Spanish camp. The interior of the Mediterranean Lords is not as calm and harmonious as it seems.
When the results came out, the three of them were naturally quite frustrated, and when they thought of the domestic war situation, they were even more anxious.
In the end, the trio decided to let AndrΓ© stay in Atlantis and continue his lobbying work, while Caroline and Regier went to Morocco with the Spanish Armada.
