The King of Knights in a Different World

no.171 Betting on national luck? (ask for tickets, ask for custom order)

"I'm wondering about that too.

All the current circumstances indicate that Britain is preparing to attack France. Although the King of Britain himself has gone to the west, the ice-blood demon has come to the south.

If it wasn't for the war, he wouldn't have put such an important pawn in this position."

Bismarck's doubts were not over yet, and Louis, who had never had any sense of presence, told another piece of news at this time.

"That..., have you heard the news from Rome?"

"Prince Louis is talking about that... the rumor that came out of the mouth of the emperor's niece"

Bismarck looked at Louis.

He also heard the news, but after he heard it, he just dismissed it as a joke.

"Yes, that's...that news.

I heard that His Majesty Nero publicly declared that he had made an agreement with the King of Britain that Britain would not attack Rome within half a year.

She also said that the King of Britain had refused the joint attack with France because of her."

Louie told what he had heard.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like lace news, not any serious news, especially when there is no diplomatic news on the French side.

His words sparked an immediate reaction from the others.

"When did we unite with Britain? We don't know."

Duke Yuli looked at Bismarck in a bewildered expression. He subconsciously thought that the prime minister was secretly making tricks again.

But this time, Bismarck himself expressed bewilderment.

On the contrary... Pepin, who had always hated Bismarck before, stood up and clarified the facts.

"My stupid brother, if you believe this kind of news, you are hopeless.

How can we France cooperate with Britain?"

Louis' words were just casual, but he heard a possibility.

But his words caused Bismarck to sigh.

The dwarf king clearly noticed this.

"My chancellor, I hear remorse in your voice."

"Yes, Your Majesty.

I just found out we missed a great opportunity."

"good chance"

"Prince Louis' news may not be just idle rumors, but if you think about it carefully, there is actually a possibility in what he said.

If we find a way to unite Britain before attacking and invite them to attack together, the situation in the north and west may be much better now."

Bismarck suddenly found himself missing a huge opportunity.

If Lucifer also participates in the attack on Rome, Ross in the north will also join in in due course.

Then this time Rome will face the attack of the four kingdoms at the same time.

In this case, France does not have to worry about the problems in the west.

In terms of results, this is indeed a good strategy.

But the problem is, they can't be done.

Leaving aside Lucifer, even the opposition in their country, they haven't dealt with it yet.

"It is impossible for the King of Britain to agree to our invitation."

Pepin shook his head and rejected the proposal.

"It's not entirely impossible.

The indemnity we have set up before has not been delivered to this year's installment. If we can hand it over in advance and add a certain share to show our friendship.

Then let Princess Mary go to Britain as an envoy, and the current situation may not become so bad."

Bismarck's own strategy.

He subconsciously put the previous lace news in a formal position, and after thinking about it, he rethought it again.

Now he feels more and more... that it is a good strategy for Richelieu to marry in advance, even if Mary is the concubine instead of the queen.

Because in this way, Lucille's decision may be influenced by Mary, instead of being influenced by Nero, and he will target France.

Bismarck felt that this was a very good strategy, but he noticed that his words had caused the hall to explode.

"What, send Mary to that bastard! You need to pay more! Bismarck, you are a traitor, do you know that!"

Pepin immediately accused Bismarck loudly.

He doesn't care about his younger sister, he has a lot of younger sisters, and he is not a sister-controller.

What he cares about is face, and of course the most important thing is money.

"Prime Minister, you traitor! Father, you must not send Sister Mary there, otherwise as long as that person sees her, she will be... oh! God, I can't imagine how she will be... abuse."

Louis also immediately objected.

His expression was very exaggerated.

In this regard, other people have long been surprised.

"It is for France's sake that I say such things.

Damn it! Damn it! Have you considered the consequences of the British attack now?"

As an elegant duke, Bismarck regarded himself as a civilized man, but now he has a rare outburst of foul language.

He felt more and more that Richelieu's strategy should be used against all opinions.

"Then we'll attack first."

The eldest prince made the announcement confidently.

"The problem is, we can't attack early.

No, do you understand! That bastard, I'm sure, is expecting us to do it first, so he won't be bound by a truce, and he can fight at any time."

Bismarck was sure.

Now Lucifer may still have to take into account his reputation as the Knight King, after all, it would be a disgraceful thing to tear up the contract.

But if France strikes first, then Lucifer will have no worries at all.

Seeing that the prime minister might have a dispute with his brother, Louis took the initiative to smooth things over.

"Master Prime Minister, please don't be angry, I think, I think there is such a possibility."

"what's possible"

Bismarck immediately responded.

"He, the King of Knights of Britain, just wanted to scare us. He didn't even think about going to war."

Louie mentioned a possibility.

In fact, he guessed for no reason that he had indeed hit the center of the target, but immediately drew a burst of laughter from the eldest prince.

"Scare us Louie, do you think he is you, playing children's games all day long?"

"I don't."

Louis' words inadvertently caused Bismarck to think of another way.

"Wait..., it's not impossible."

Bismarck murmured now.

"What"

"The King of Britain may indeed be trying to scare us. He is too embarrassed to go to war, so he wants to scare us in this way, forcing us to withdraw some of the frontline troops.

In this way, our attack will not go smoothly."

Bismarck's words made the dwarf Wang Peping feel even more confused.

"Is that...necessary?"

he spoke.

"Yes! He doesn't want to see France becoming stronger, so he wants to restrict France's expansion in this way."

"You mean, he won't attack"

"The question now is not whether Britain will attack, but whether we dare to bet that Britain will not attack.

The conclusion is that we dare not gamble.

Even knowing that the King of Britain will not attack, we still dare not bet on this possibility.

Because we can't afford to lose.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase troops to the west, and at the same time transfer enough high-level combat power.

It's a common trick that guy uses to make you know what he wants you to do, but you have to do it."

Bismarck calmly stated his just-confirmed opinion.

no.172 I can't afford to gamble (ask for tickets, ask for custom order)

Think about it carefully, based on his understanding of Lucifer.

He felt that there was indeed such a possibility, and it was very high.

As the side preparing to attack, even the commander-in-chief has already chosen to be in place, but France can't bet that Lucifer really doesn't dare to make a move.

Because if you lose this time, the result may be ten times worse than before.

The difference in bets is doomed that they will not bet on this ambiguous possibility.

The dwarf Wang Peping thought for a long time, and finally spoke slowly.

"I know what he wants me to do, but I have to do it according to his ideas.

It’s a disgusting method.”

"Pretty disgusting.

But it's also pretty scary, my lord.

If he's doing something like the king of Rome, we can fight back if he does anything.

But the current situation is no longer a strategic contest, but more like a psychological game.

He knows that we won't bet on this ambiguous possibility, so he dares to let people come here openly."

Only now did Bismarck see through the crux of the whole situation.

Yes, just...don't bet.

Lucifer is not worried, because even if he loses the bet, the most likely outcome is that Rungomigniad and St. George go to war with France, and in the end the two sides may end in a truce.

However, France did not dare to really gamble, because once they lost, their losses would not be acceptable to France.

"What if I really don't defend myself"

Pepin asked calmly.

"I can't predict the result, the pirates in the west will certainly not be able to stop the King of Britain.

If he got rid of the pirates within a month like before, and came to the south in secret, the result this time might be..."

Bismarck suggested a certain possibility with a wry smile.

This time, Pepin did not ask about the possibility.

They had already lost the land west of the Rhine in the previous time, and if they let the whole of western France fall this time, they would really become a second-rate country in an instant.

This is one of the reasons why Bismarck said they dare not gamble.
