Chapter 1298 – Leaders Meeting with One Another, Each Having Their Own Goals

Gaia 8th year, 4th month, 26th day.

After Casillas’s suggestion, Silver Hand started a six country meeting.

Apart from those participating in the war, Free King Jack was also present.

As such, one could see how important the Dawson Dynasty was in Silver Hand.

Jack and the others got wind of Spain being attacked right away. Hence, when Casillas requested a video meeting, they responded quickly.

“Casi, can you hold on? Do you need the organization to help?”

As Casillas’s support, Jack immediately gave Casillas a way out.

This was the charm of Jack.

“It’s pushing it. I’m worried that the Egypt army will break in through Spain, which will then affect the main battlefield,” Casillas was not a fool and did not mention withdrawing right away.

“That should not happen,” said Henry.

As the Gaule Dynasty and the Spain Dynasty were together, Henry and Casillas’s relationship was a little weird. Moreover, in the past, Henry had borrowed Great Xia’s hand to con Spain once, allowing the Gaule Squadron to make a breakthrough and officially gain a footing in the Mediterranean Ocean.

Henry had also wanted to collaborate with Great Xia to work together to split up Spain.

Luckily, Henry had resisted the temptation and did not execute his plan.

“The Spain army is known for being a million strong. I believe that the 500 thousand Egypt army that is travelling from afar and lacking in logistical support will not be able to cause any huge waves.”

Henry praised the Spain army because he was worried that Casillas might scheme and use the reason of the enemy being too strong to lead the Span army east into Gaule territory.

One could say that Henry was thinking too much.

Casillas was a person who cared about his face and had the Spanish style. As such, he was not so vicious. In comparison, Henry, this dog that did not bark, knew how to bite where it hurts.

“The Spain army is not small, but we have a huge territory and need to house troops in many places unlike some dynasties which only need to defend some small land.” Casillas was not someone who liked to lose.

When Henry heard that, although his face did not show it, his fists were tightly clenched. Casillas surpassing him hit Henry right where it hurt the most, and he was still bleeding till now.

He had schemed for his entire life, but it was not as good as Casillas being lucky once.

When Jack saw that, he resolved the situation by saying, “It is not the time to fight internally. Spain is being attacked, and Great Xia is behind it. We must not be careless.”

William nodded in agreement, “Let’s discuss a way to solve this. Great Xia is not easy to go up against.”

William was really supportive of cleaning out the Ottoman Dynasty because it concerned the House of Tudor’s future strategic safety.

If they won this battle, the House of Tudor was basically safe. Hence, William did not mind sending close to half of his army.

This was a massive amount of determination.

After all, when they split the Ottoman Dynasty, it would be mainly the Romanov, Gaule, and Caesar dynasties taking up. The House of Tudor was separated by an ocean, so it would be difficult for them to gain anything.

On this point, the European dynasties all came to an understanding to not allow the House of Tudor to interfere.

Jack said, “In South America, Dawson will press down on the east border of the Indian Empire with the Brasilia Dynasty. Casi, when needed, you can move a portion of the troops from Argentina back to home soil.”

“This….”

Casillas hesitated; this was a little different from what his expectations.

“Do not worry. Argentina will not be lost. When needed, the Dawson Dynasty will personally send troops to help you defend it.” Jack had no choice but to make such a promise.

“Moreover, based on our intel, the Indian Empire is attacking because they bought a batch of eliminated equipment from Great Xia. It is not enough to be a problem.” Although he said that, Jack was envious of Great Xia’s firearm deal.

Hearing Jack say that, Casillas naturally accepted it and said, “Okay. I’ll move 50 thousand troops from Argentina back to Spain. However, this is far from enough.”

“Apart from Spain, the Africa situation is intense. With just 100 thousand, I cannot defend against Great Xia at all. It will be a catastrophe if Great Xia takes down Morocco.”

Casillas was really smart and followed Fernando’s analysis and used it as a chip for this negotiation. That was because he had discovered that this crisis may well be a chance if he used it well.

Such a thought flashed through his mind.

When Jack heard his cries for help, he looked toward Henry and Caesar asked, “Can the Gaule and Caesar dynasties send some of their Africa troops to help to defend?”

In West Africa, the Spain Dynasty had the largest territory. Next would be the Ottoman Dynasty and then the Gaule Dynasty, and finally the Caesar Dynasty. As for the House of Tudor, as previously mentioned, they were forced back in defeat.

The Romanov Dynasty did not need to be mentioned because it was too far away and did not have the ability to interfere in Africa.

“We will try our best!”

Henry and Caesar’s faces were really ugly; it was apparent that they were not willing to do it.

Seeing the situation turn bad for him, Henry said with bad intentions, “Although I cannot do much in Africa, if Spain needs help, I can send an army over as long as Spain settles the logistics.”

“Thank you, but there’s no need for that.”

Casillas rejected his proposal expressionlessly.

Be it due to face or strategic considerations, Casillas would not allow the Gaule army to step onto Spanish soil.

Who knows what intentions they would have in coming.

“On the topic of logistics, there’s something that the Gaule Dynasty can help us with.” Casillas quickly found a chance to counterattack, saying it like it was an easy matter, “Since Spain itself is at war, we have no ability to bother about the frontlines. As for the Spanish army sent, their logistical supply needs help from the Gaule Dynasty.”

Based on the Alliance Army contract, each country was in charge of the grain of their own army.

For example, the grain for the House Of Tudor army would be sent through the ocean route to Gaule and then the Gaule civilians would help to transport the grain to the frontlines.

If not, just the Gaule Dynasty alone would not be able to manage the logistics of such a huge army.

Just helping the House of Tudor and Spain transport grain was a huge burden on the Gaule Dynasty. On this point, Henry did not complain, which showed that he had a sense of the big picture.

Now, seeing Casillas actually take the chance to shamelessly demand the Gaule Dynasty solve the Spanish army’s grain problem, Henry was furious.

Casillas was really calm and continued, “If the Gaule Dynasty cannot do that, I can only withdraw my army from the frontlines. I can’t exactly let them be hungry and fight a war, right?”

“….”

Everyone else was stunned. In the end, Casillas had still managed to speak this way out this difficult solution.

Romanov King Pushkin who had been keeping quiet said with a dark face, “We definitely cannot let Spain withdraw. It might cause the situation to turn on its head.”

Based on their directions, the Alliance Army could be split into west, south, and east armies.

The west army consisted of Spain, Gaule, and the House of Tudor, and their overall strength was 750 thousand, including 250 thousand Spain troops, 300 thousand Gaule Dynasty troops, and 200 thousand from the House of Tudor.

The south army was the Caesar Army. Due to the Alps blocking them and grain transport being difficult, they could only send 400 thousand troops.

Even then, due to Great Xia returning to the Mediterranean and threatening the mainland of the Caesar Dynasty, Caesar was prepared to withdraw a portion of the troops.

The east army was the Romanov army that had a total of 500 thousand troops, which was the most out of all the participating dynasties. Of course, if this battle was won, the Romanov Dynasty would also get the highest returns.

The overall Alliance Army strength had reached 1.65 million.

And their enemy, the Ottoman Dynasty, had 1.5 million troops at the start of the war. After the war began, they kept on enlisting troops, and their numbers grew.

Both sides had pretty much the same number of soldiers.

Even without the Spain army withdrawing, the Alliance Army would have to add in more troops to win this war. In William’s words, “We must be prepared to go all out.”

If Spain withdrew their 250 thousand, the enemy would have the numerical advantage. Furthermore, the Ottoman Dynasty was fighting on home ground. As such, if Spain withdrew, who was the one attacking who would become uncertain.

As such, no matter what, Pushkin and the others would not let Spain withdraw.

“So what should I do?” Casillas suddenly became really calm, “Spain is fighting on three fronts, so how can I bother about the frontlines?”
