The soundproof DSLR glass in the conference room reflected the radiant black-haired teenager, and neither the endless assassinations nor the diplomatic coordination between the major powers seemed to change his confident smile and the kind of laughter with a hint of mockery.

"There is no need to worry about the small actions of the church, His Majesty wants to match two rivals, so let him go to work. Those 'patriotic youths' and 'people who worry about the country' will solve our troubles for us. ”

Li Lin was not at all worried that Albion and Charlemagne would come up with a "Treaty on the Limitation of Naval Armaments" or something similar, and that there would be no four-year bloody war in which an entire generation of young people would die; there would be no general background of "democratization" and disarmament and peace becoming the mainstream of international thought; there would be no sudden outbreak of the economic crisis, and the embarrassment of levying a liquor tax and raising the income tax and business tax in order to expand the naval armament; and still less should there be a ghost beast country with the strength and capital to establish a global naval superpower and at the same time be fairly sober-minded to check and balance. In the absence of all the necessary conditions for the Washington Conference, how can one expect a "naval holiday" to fall between Albion and Charlemagne, the sworn enemies?

His Majesty probably took his image as an angel of peace too seriously, who did he think he was? Warren Harding, the unscathed ruler of the United States, the largest creditor, the largest industrial, and the largest indigenous nation since the First World War?

In addition to external factors, the careful thinking within the navies of the two countries cannot be ignored. Eager to inherit the glory of their ancestors, the naval officers of Albion kicked Charlemagne's ass hard. Charlemagne's civilian naval officers were eager to slaughter the Albions and earn the opportunity to add "de" to their surnames for future generations. Both groups of soldiers held their back. The fists raised in the air must not be put down here, and just collecting battleships like a model control is no longer enough for them.

They need to ...... A big war with no distraction!

Leaving aside the demands of the soldiers for war, Charlemagne's ambitions and Albian's interests are fundamentally irreconcilable. Queen Elizabeth of Albion was an active expansionist, interested in expanding and even dominating overseas colonies. She was also very soberly aware that Charlemagne's naval revitalization strategy would sooner or later hinder and damage Albiang's interests. At the same time, Richelieu held a similar view that Charlemagne, a latecomer to the development of the colonies, was far behind and that only "drastic measures" at a critical moment could break the status quo.

Curb each other's impulses. There is no basis for mutual trust in politics. Even the confrontation itself is difficult to alleviate - in such a difficult predicament, there is practically no means to sanction or punish the conflict between the two countries, and it is only bound by soft "doctrine" and "morality", and the Pope's efforts are destined to be very busy. Even if "unfortunately" there was some kind of agreement. That paper is also destined to be fragile. Soon it will be torn up by the signatories themselves. And before that. It is quite possible that the guy who signed the "traitorous agreement" would have been killed by some "patriotic youth" long ago.

"Speaking of those annoying imps, Thor, how's the preparation?"

The smile on his face was slightly evil. To his subordinates, he looked like a fox - the kind that had lived for at least a thousand years. Of course, the elves don't hate the relaxed atmosphere.

"Report sir, the high-power amplifier, playback equipment, and records are all ready!"

"Which version?"

"Alfheim Philharmonic Orchestra. ”

Thor said frankly and loudly, his face unable to hide the smugness of "finally my turn to appear", just like the college students who were ready to celebrate with a big bang.

There is indeed a grand pie duì about to appear, not only is it much larger than the nonsense of the little kids, but the gorgeous Cheng dù is even more extraordinary.

Wagner's opera, fireworks display of artillery, rockets, incendiary bombs, and fuel air bombs at the end...... Even Lieutenant Colonel Kegel in "Apocalypse Now" will be intoxicated by it when he sees it.

The suffering lambs will also be intoxicated by the high-pitched song of the Valkyrie, and welcome the end in an exciting atmosphere, and they will surely die without complaint.

"That's all for this little matter, and for the day I would like to inform you that the old men of the Council are quiet for now, and when Roland and their performances are over, I will leave for Muspelheim. ”

“......！！”

The elven officers' faces changed.

Muspelheim, the poorest and richest land in the world.

This lonely land hanging in the northern ice sea is barren all year round, and there are groups of volcanoes erupting all year round, except for some barley and moss in the coastal zone, there are no other kinds of plants at all. Not to mention living people, even some dangerous species in the land of ice and snow cannot survive.

But this land does have inhabitants, those who live for thousands or even 10,000 years, and the number of inhabitants who maintain a three-digit number lives in the caves of volcanoes with the huge treasures they have collected from all over the world, I don't know Shu Han, Wei and Jin. With the world's largest GDP index, live the ultimate cocoon life that all dead houses dream of.

What is alive in this paradise of ice and fire is not the Zhang Wuxia family in a martial arts novel, but a group of dragons who stare at their own treasures like misers, and even forget the sacred cause.

Muspelheim, home to most of the world's dragons and the seat of the Dragons' Presbytery.

"Although it is an exiled minor, Azdahaka is a member of the dragon clan after all, and the grandfathers of the dragon clan will not remain silent forever. It just so happened that I also wanted to say hello to the group of ancient species who didn't care about the world. ”

Dragons have a tradition of never asking about sapient warfare, but now at least three dragons have joined the elves, and one has died. It's hard to say whether the Dragons Elders of Muspelheim will continue to maintain their neutrality. It is also unknown whether the proud ancient species will be willing to admit the existence of the transcendent species and accept the higher race.

As far as Li Lin was concerned, he didn't care about the attitude of the dragons, neither expecting their cooperation nor fearing them to assist the humans. It would be great if you could maintain neutrality. For this reason, it is necessary to run this trip.

Brunhill wanted to say something, but the emergency contact bell, which rarely rings in the small conference room, beeped at this time, and after obtaining Li Lin's permission, Nidhogg, who had a strange expression, walked briskly.

"Your Excellency, sorry to bother, but Stasi sent this just now. ”

Nidhogg handed over a photo, and Li Lin generously placed the photo on the conference table. It left the figure of a certain girl on the street of Lüders, and when he caught a glimpse of the face taken from obliquely above, he was speechless.

"How could it be...... how could 'she' ......?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure it's the deity. ”

Needless to say, Nidhogg would never misidentify someone, and as the same race, even if they glanced at it, they belonged to different branches.

"Isn't that good? ”

Folded hands hide the smile in the shadows. Staring at the short-haired blonde girl who seemed to be glaring at the candid photographer in the photo, Li Lin's smile mixed with a wry smile and shrugged his shoulders.

"I was about to visit over there, but I didn't expect the eldest lady of the target family to come to the door first...... Sue Sù Stasi, don't go too deep, and get a general idea of whereabouts. Do not make contact with it until a new order is issued. (To be continued......)
