Chapter 535 Strategic Concept, Divide the World into Three Parts?
At noon, when Hastur had some free time, Lady Lisa came to tell him what the Pope of the Eternal Sun Church meant.
"The timing is really good."
Hastur did admire the pope's vision. His vision really saw the long term and was very accurate.
"I'll take care of it."
Shortly after Mrs. Lisa left, a portal from the spirit world quietly opened in Hastur's study.
Gray Carrie, the ancestor of the phoenix, landed lightly on the desk in front of Hastur, with a world map in his mouth.
After laying out the map, Gray Carrie stood on the area representing the southern continent and motioned for Hastur to help take a look.
This is a military map. To be precise, it is the route map of the Southern Continent’s expected attack on the Northern Continent.
In order to avoid South Wales, where Hasta is located, the march route of the Southern Continent did not start from Behrens Port, but to the west, facing the port of Desi Bay as the starting point.
There are two main attack routes in the southern continent. One passes through Disi Bay and approaches Disi County in the Kingdom of Loen, and the other enters the Kingdom of Feneport.
This is an ideal offensive route. Most of the forces in the northern part of the Loen Kingdom are still on an expedition against the Fusac Empire. Although the Dixi and Southwell counties in the south have deployed navies, they are mainly concentrated in Southwell where Hasta is located. Er County.
Because choosing Dixi County as the breakthrough point would not only be too deep, but there is also the Kingdom of Fenebaud nearby that can cut off the route at any time.
Therefore, the major nobles of the Loen Kingdom discussed and discussed, and they all felt that South Wales was more dangerous.
Hastur carefully looked at the entire military map and found that the strategy of the Southern Continent was really greedy.
Originally, he didn't want to directly intervene in this war, but after looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but pick up a red pen and cross out the attack route to Dixi County, and only chose the Kingdom of Feneport as the breakthrough point.
Although everyone knows the principle of cold lips and teeth, in practice, it is not that easy.
If only the Kingdom of Fenebaud was attacked, even if the Kingdom of Loen wanted reinforcements, they would hold a meeting to discuss the matter for a period of time. Maybe several months would pass before the Kingdom of Loen would send troops to reinforce.
After planning the offensive route for the southern continent, Hastur's eyes stayed on the Republic of Intis, and he couldn't help but sigh that the pope of the Eternal Sun Church was really smart and courageous.
Seeking cooperation at this time, although his goal is not war, he has a very clear vision of the future positioning of the Republic of Intis.
After thinking for a while, Hastur drew several attack routes on the Republic of Intis, allowing it to attack the northern part of the Kingdom of Feneport from the direction of the central plateau. At the same time, heavy troops were pressed on the borders with Sehgal and Lomborg.
Once Sehgal and Lemberg reinforced the Kingdom of Feneport, the army of the Republic of Intis immediately pressed forward.
If the Republic of Intis cooperates with the Southern Continent in this way, the Kingdom of Feneport, Sehgal, and Lundberg should not be able to stop them, and finally they will take care of the small country of Masi and the Kingdom of Loen.
Plan a strategic route, and have Hastur stand a little further away to take in the full view.
If he follows his strategic vision, it is not certain whether the southern continent can be divided equally with the Republic of Intis and the northern continent. However, the three countries of Feneport Kingdom, Sehgal, and Lemberg have basically fallen.
Hasta looked at it for a while and felt that the possibility of dividing the world was the greatest.
Republic of Intis, Southern Continent, Kingdom of Loen.
But this is only a preliminary strategic concept. Once there are mistakes or turning points in the details of a war, the entire strategic concept needs to be overturned and re-imagined.
Moreover, the Republic of Intis is too unstable, and the state of the Eternal Blazing Sun is definitely not good. Maybe the Republic of Intis will be pushed back by the two small countries of Segar and Lomborg.
The Pope of the Church of the Eternal Burning Sun is smart here. He must be aware of the embarrassing position of the Republic of Intis in the future.
The Intis Republic, which no longer has the protection of the eternal blazing sun, can hardly occupy such a large territory anymore and may be divided up at any time.
It desperately needs to find an ally.
The Eternal Sun and the Lord of Storms, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom are absolute mortal enemies.
The Lord of Storms and the Goddess of Night, the God of Steam and Machinery occupy the Kingdom of Loen, Sehgal and Lundberg are the missions of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and the Mother Goddess of the Earth is on good terms with the Goddess of Night.
The Intis Republic's choices may include the Southern Continent or the dying Feysac Empire.
But that pope chose the newly emerged Yellow Church.
"Tweet."
Hasta was lost in thought, and Gray Carrie reminded him twice.
"The Republic of Intis is a possible help." Hasta said subconsciously, then shook his head and chuckled: "I shouldn't have interfered with these things."
Gray Carrie leaned her little head over, her eyes looking expectantly.
"That's right, I can't watch you lose to the goddess of the night." Hastur drew a few more lines on the military map, then rolled up the map and let Gray Carrie take it away.
"Today is the day when the Pirate Kingdom was established. It's a pity that Bernadette can no longer take over the Republic of Intis, otherwise she would be a very good candidate."
Hastur stayed alone in the study and thought for a long time. It was not until about two o'clock in the afternoon that he took a carriage to Earl Hall's house.
Earl Hall knew that he would come, so he did not go out in the afternoon, but waited for him at home.
Countess Hall and Audrey were also at home, and Hibbert went out to visit various powerful families on behalf of the Hall family.
"January 5th is a good day."
That's what Earl Hall said. Hastur glanced at Audrey, who pretended not to know what was going on, and then said, "Let uncle arrange everything."
"Aren't you two in free love? Why do you seem so arbitrary to me?"
Earl Hall raised his tone of dissatisfaction, looked at his daughter helplessly, and then glared at Hastur.
Is this engagement made for him?
The two people who were obviously involved didn't seem to be worried at all, and looked very casual.
"The elders in my family died young. I really don't have much experience in this kind of thing." Hasta can only play the emotional card.
Count Hall's expression softened a little and he gave his wife a look. Countess Hall said knowingly: "Since the date has been agreed upon, you two can discuss other matters by yourselves, such as the engagement venue, wedding clothes, and the couple. Invitations from respective friends, etc.”
After listening for a while, Hastur wisely handed a stack of dowry lists to Earl Hall.
Although Earl Hall never mentioned the betrothal gift from beginning to end.
Audrey glanced at Hastur in surprise, her eyes seeming to ask, "When will you be ready?"
Hastur blinked at her and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I have been preparing to marry you home for a long time."
Audrey rolled her eyes at Hasta. She didn't believe this argument. She was sure that Mr. Hasta would not take more than a month to prepare this list of betrothal gifts.
Earl Hall, who was silently looking at the list of betrothal gifts, hesitated several times. He had no idea that Hastur had accumulated such a huge wealth at such a young age.
How much corruption has Hastur committed in South Wales in the past two years?
This was the first thought that came to Earl Hall's mind.
He clearly remembered Hastur two years ago. He couldn't even keep his family's ancestral property and had to find someone to borrow it to live on.
But now, the jewelry, pearls, agates, and land titles on this list of betrothal gifts alone exceed half a million pounds!
This is quite a fortune!
No wonder the two Grand Dukes of South Wales died in South Wales.
This was the second thought that came to Earl Hall's mind.
It's really not easy to be so young and have such fierce methods.
Earl Hall looked at Hastur with increasingly complicated eyes.
Seeing the end of the list of betrothal gifts, Earl Hall couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
He had never thought about asking for Hastur's betrothal gift from the beginning. He was not short of money, and he was not selling his daughter.
Originally thinking about how much money Hastur had given as a betrothal gift, he doubled it and gave it to Audrey, treating it as his father's last blessing.
But the total value of this list of betrothal gifts should be between 800,000 gold pounds and one million gold pounds.
He didn't know how Hastur had made so much money in less than two years. What he was thinking now was that if he really wanted to give Audrey a double gift, he would probably have to sell his shares in several major banks. Most of them are enough.
He has already arranged for this part of the assets to be given to his eldest son Hibbert.
Even if he didn't double it and give it to Audrey at the same price, he would still have to work hard.
For the first time, he felt that it was not good for his son-in-law to be too good at making money.
No, this should be regarded as making money.
Seeing that Count Hall's expression was a little abnormal, Countess Hall asked Audrey to take Hastur for a walk in the garden first, or go upstairs to discuss their engagement date behind closed doors.
"What's wrong?"
Countess Hall approached Earl Hall, wondering why he looked so unhappy.
"See for yourself."
Earl Hall handed the list of dowry gifts to Countess Hall with a sullen face.
After a while, Countess Hall exclaimed: "Is he going to rob the treasury?"
Earl Hall drank tea in silence. He may not have robbed the treasury, but he must have embezzled, amassed, and plundered money in South Wales...
