"I must point out that the Emergency Control Zone in the Western Balkans does not mean that the region is incorporated into the Federal Republic of the Western Balkans, but rather that our country has dispatched peacekeeping troops to stabilize the local order based on humanitarian grounds and at the request of the local people."
Raffarin Lau emphasized to journalists from various countries that journalists and the newspaper industry are thriving in various countries and have naturally become emerging forces in various places, and Alice naturally has a deep understanding of the media.
"We cordially invite influential countries and political entities to discuss the situation in the Balkans. Our country is willing to contribute its own strength to the harmony and stability of the Balkans."
The words were read aloud by the young nun, who stretched out a hand and waved it in the air to signal for a halt.
"How grand and dignified..."
“Saint…”
"The spearhead is pointed at us, don't you think? Have the demons changed a lot? Become more... cunning, more troublesome?"
The young man waved his hand, the white gold trim swaying slowly with his body. He was indeed involved in the situation in the Balkans. Various forces were almost tacitly confronting each other on this land, supporting their representatives and trying to take over this vast empire.
Among them, the Balkan Empire was the most active. Long ago, the Caliph, under the guise of aid, instigated the conflict between the Balkan Empire and the Amerinsi. In the continuous battles, the desert empire gained experience in new warfare, weakened the Balkan Empire, and finally, simply instigated the rebellion of the border nobles.
After all, the Balkan Empire was a melting pot of ethnicities.
"However, since I've been invited, it would be very impolite not to respond."
The meeting held by Amerlane in the Balkans was seen by all parties as an opportunity, after a long period of silence, for which the parties had not been able to sit down and properly discuss the situation.
Whether one is seated or seated at the table, this conference clearly shows that only three countries are the main players: Amelia's interests lie in the western ocean and the New World, the Church's interests lie in its three dioceses, and the Caliph's interests lie in the central continent.
The Balkans, where the three countries meet, are naturally also where their interests lie. However, if a real war were to break out, the costs would not necessarily be less than the gains.
Nobody's a fool, so as soon as word got out about the meeting, the three openly hostile players immediately sent people to contact each other in private.
The meeting location was quickly decided to be Sicily.
For Amelansi and the Church, both places are very close, and for the Balkans, they are not far by land or sea.
Alice nodded, and a maid appeared beside her.
“Lilivia, look carefully. No one from your country is involved in this meeting, there is no place for you, and it's not even in your country, yet it can indeed decide the fate of the Balkans.”
Lilivia lowered her head, her white apron fluttering as she looked at Alice. Alice sighed, “We often say that truth is only within the range of cannons, but governing a country is not that simple. Yes, the Balkan Empire does have a lot of cannons, but they are all wasted. The Balkan Empire does not have the capacity to mass-produce advanced weapons, and advanced weapons require technology and intellect.”
"Actually, your father didn't see that point. A few cannons may look impressive, but they are not enough to start a full-scale war."
"Yes, I understand."
Alice kept Lilivia by her side not only to teach her these principles, but also to show the outside world that the Crown Prince had gone to Amelansi for recuperation, clearly indicating her control over the Balkan Empire. Internally, Alice transferred the 12th Army Group in the East to the Sarajevo region, which can be considered as controlling the remaining Balkan Empire's territory.
But Alice has no intention of incorporating it into the land of Amelancy.
The main race in Amelansi is the demon race. These unique and powerful races gather only in the land of Amelansi. However, races are mixed in Amelansi, and crimes between races occur frequently.
One of the revolutions Alice carefully pushed forward was to transform racial identity into national identity, promoting the concept of "great humanity".
To this end, she and Raffarin Loh decided to exert influence on the biological world, and a paper entitled "The Theory of Human Differentiation" quickly caused a huge uproar across the country.
Although the people of Amelansi had some objections, the "scientific conclusions" produced by the two were flawless and could not be refuted with the existing technology.
The people of America, who advocated the supremacy of science, gradually accepted this doctrine.
But the Balkan people are different. Although the Balkan Empire strongly promoted the "South Slava" identity, the South Slava actually refers to humans, the mixed descendants of elves and dwarves.
There are also many other ethnic groups in the Balkans.
The Amerlani created a nation, while they merely assimilated other nations; this is not the same.
Lilivia shook her head, took one last look at the palace, and then boarded the MA-08A vertical elevator, flying towards the giant warship "Vigilant" overhead.
The massive airship set sail, carrying the girl to distant lands. Lilivia, carrying her suitcase, took one last look at her homeland.
She would return sooner or later, but when she did, she might be very different. She gazed at the massive airship, wondering how such steel behemoths could be manufactured.
If her country had such a behemoth, how could it have become what it is today?
The sailors were lined up neatly, everything was in good order. If the country's army were all like this, how could it have become like this?
She looked at Alice, and the soldiers around her raised their right hands to salute her. Alice saluted as she walked forward.
How's the situation in the Balkans?
In the distant desert, inside the large tent, a majestic voice echoed as the sand people below said helplessly, "My great Caliph, there is no hope for improvement in the situation in the Balkans. The demons have already mobilized their troops and stationed them in the Balkans."
"What about the nobles who are loyal to the empire?"
"They occupied a large area, roughly a third of the original empire, and those madmen from the church also occupied another third..."
"The demon envoy has arrived in the city; this is a letter from the demon leader..."
"Hmm... Send my son. It's time for him to get involved in the Empire's cause."
The Caliph leaned against a silk pillow, the smoke from his hookah drifting around him. In the heart of the empire, within its vast, opulent buildings, only he could lie like this.
"By the way, I heard the demons went to the elves' territory?"
"That's right, it seems the demons also want to bring the elves in..."
“They’ve overstepped their bounds, you demons… teach them a lesson, let them know they’ve overstepped their bounds. No more discussion, my power as Caliph is unlimited.”
