Chapter 53
In history, the relationship between the Luosha Empire and the Western powers was far from as good as it was shown in the war.
Western powers have always regarded the powerful powers in the East as the number one threat. This mentality of fearing enemies is fully reflected in Western literary works, such as demons all come from the East. Before the rise of Liangxia Empire, the Eastern demons in the eyes of Western powers were the Luosha Empire.
The conflict between the Western powers and the Luosha Empire lasted for more than two hundred years.
In fact, the Luosha Empire was also in conflict with the Western powers, and gradually developed from a small inland principality to a world-class power.
If the Tyman Empire had not been able to quickly complete national unity under the wise command of the old emperor, that is, Wilder I, and became the most powerful empire in the Western Continent; plus Wilder II was too ambitious and separated from the old emperor's strategic route and attempted to usurp the trident in his uncle's hand, the Western powers led by the Kingdom of Bran would not have regarded the Tyman Empire as the number one threat, let alone reconciliation with the Luosha Empire.
Fundamentally, the Luosha Empire is actually too large!
Even if the strategy of advancing eastward was blocked, it would be defeated by the rising Liangxia Empire and lost all the territory east of Yenise Barkash, the land area of the Luosha Empire was still more than the sum of the Western powers, with a population twice that of the Rock Republic and a 15-fold greater than that of the Goman Empire.
In front of the great powers of the Western Continent, the Luosha Empire was a huge giant.
The key is that the center of the Luosha Empire is in the Western Continent, and it has always regarded itself as a powerful Western country, and is relatively backward in the eastern part of the huge continent. It is also true that after the defeat to the Liangxia Empire, the Luosha Empire was still a strong country and posed a huge threat to the Western Continent countries. This also means that when the Luosha Empire revived and expanded outward again, the countries in the Western Continent were the first to be affected.
Go and seek revenge on Liangxia Empire?
No matter from which perspective, the Luosha Empire only after it swept across the Western Continent and became super hegemony, can it have capital to challenge the Liangxia Empire, which is already super hegemony.
In fact, this is also the key to the Western powers' fear of talking about the tiger after the mutiny of the Luosha Empire.
From this perspective, it is not difficult to understand the reason why the Rock Republic and the Torman Empire turned enemies into friends.
As a country in the Western Continent, the Rock Republic and the Torman Empire have a deep sense of the threat to their strong neighbors in the East, which can be said to be unforgettable.
Don't forget that during the First Empire, Locke's army swept across the Western Continent and defeated all opponents, but fell into the ice and snow of the capital of Luosha Empire, and thus went downhill. In the end, they were defeated by the anti-Luo alliance brought up by the Luosha Empire and the Kingdom of Bran in Waterloo. If they were not defeated in the capital of Luosha Empire, Locke's First Empire had already unified the Western Continent and might have defeated the Kingdom of Bran.
As for the Thaman Empire, during the Thadun period before achieving national independence and national unity, the number one threat was the Luosha Empire in the east.
Relatively speaking, the Kingdom of Bran is an offshore country, and the feeling is not so strong.
Before the outbreak of this war, the Rock Republic joined the Alliance Group, and there was a very important reason for it to form an alliance with the Luosha Empire.
In fact, after becoming a second-rate power, joining a maritime power country like the Kingdom of Bran to suppress the powerful country in the Western Continent became the basic strategy of the Rock Republic. In order to ensure the strategic security of the country, the Rock Republic has been avoiding being enemies with multiple land powers at the same time.
Once you understand these, it is not difficult to understand how serious the consequences of the Newland Federation's rebellion are.
If Wilkins' ideal becomes reality, it will naturally be a happy event, at least so.
Even if the Luosha Empire has been destroyed, the remaining four giants can form a powerful group that surrounds the world and dominates the entire world.
Although this group may not be able to last for a long time, after all, internal conflicts are very prominent, in the next few decades, the group will definitely suppress the defeated Liangxia Empire and the Tsuman Empire. Taking advantage of this east wind, the Rock Republic will inevitably become the number one overlord of the Western Continent.
As for what will happen decades later, it is not something that can be considered now.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
The Newland Federation broke its promise and abandoned its former allies, especially the Rock Republic, which suffered heavy casualties in the war and was almost completely destroyed.
It is precisely this that some people claim that the Newland Federation's betrayal is the number one trigger for the collapse of the alliance group, the collapse of order after the war and the chaos in the international situation. Some people believe that if the Newland Federation was not controlled by isolationism, there would be no next global war.
Is this really the case?
Even if this statement makes some sense, it is a generalization.
After the war, isolationism rose in the Newland Federation, which was mainly due to the huge loss of war, but the Newland Federation did not gain the benefits of paying and national strength and status as a victorious country. In the root cause, this is the inevitable result of the unwillingness of the Bran Kingdom and the Rock Republic to recognize the facts.
What facts?
The Newland Federation, with a population of nearly 200 million, not only surpasses all old empires in terms of population, but is also the second largest industrial power in the world and the world's largest. Its national strength has surpassed the Bran Kingdom and the Rock Republic, and it has the strength and qualification to lead the Western powers.
Taking all factors into consideration, the comprehensive strength of the Newland Federation exceeds the sum of other Western powers!
If strength is decided, the post-war world order should be decided by the Newland Federation.
The Kingdom of Bran and the Rock Republic obviously would not agree.
The former is a little better, after all, it is in line with the Newland Federation.
For the Rock Republic, it is obviously unacceptable to obey the command of the Newland Federation and to divide the cake by the Newland Federation.
At that time, this view was regarded as treason in the Rock Republic.
Not to mention discussing it, even if it is just such an idea, it will be condemned and condemned.
The most obvious example is that during the Sebasians meeting, more than a dozen senior government officials in the Rock Republic were dismissed because they advocated making necessary concessions.
Don’t forget that during this war, the Rock Republic sacrificed millions of soldiers and nearly ten million soldiers and civilians.
Who can accept that such huge casualties are finally making wedding clothes for other countries?
It can be seen that the Rock Republic refused to compromise and forced Wilkins to make huge concessions at the peace meeting, so the Newland Federal Congress refused to approve the peace treaty brought back by the president. The Newland Federal also broke the agreement and did not join the international alliance initiated by Wilkins.
From this perspective, it is not wrong to say that the Rock Republic is self-inflicted.
In any case, after the Newland Federation retreated to the lonely continent and built a wall of isolationism again, there were only two choices left before the Western powers. One was to adapt to and accept the new force structure as soon as possible, and recognize the Newland Federation as the new super hegemony after the Liangxia Empire. The other was to adjust its own security strategy, reconcile with its former mortal enemy, and resist the threat from super hegemony by joining together to keep warm.
In fact, these are two prominent characteristics of the post-war international situation.
However, different powers made different choices.
The former was chosen by the Kingdom of Bran and the Nayi Empire, the Locke Republic, and the latter, which was rebuilt on the ruins of the war.
The post-war storm began from this.
