Andre's suggestion made Caroline's and Raigel's eyes light up.
The three of them quickly reached a consensus and prepared to take the opportunity to ask for reinforcements from the various lords of the Mediterranean Sea to solve the siege of Morocco. Their first target was naturally Spain, which had a feud with the Great Xia Dynasty and was the closest to it.
Of course, just Spain alone was not enough. The three of them could not wait for the entire Mediterranean Sea to move.
In less than an hour, Casillas, Juan, Henry, Caesar, as well as the first lord of Portugal, Pedro, and the others received the news of the war between the Great Xia Dynasty and Morocco.
The already lively Atlantis City became even more noisy because of the news of the war in Morocco. With the three lords of Morocco's words, the minds of the various lords of the Mediterranean Sea were hooked.
Seeing this, Queen Caria canceled the day's activities and let the lords make their own arrangements. Naturally, everyone was happy. The lords gathered in twos and threes to discuss the matter in detail.
Regarding this matter, the lords were in a heated discussion.
Someone could not help but ask, "Was the Great Xia Dynasty's attack on Morocco a spur of the moment, or has it been planned for a long time?"
"It must have been planned for a long time," a lord asserted.
"What do you mean?"
"The war is not child's play. How could it be a spur of the moment plan? Looking at the expressions of the three lords of Morocco, they must have been caught off guard this time. "
The lords nodded and said worriedly, "So, Morocco might really fall?"
"That's hard to say. After all, we don't know the situation at the front line. It's just that from the expressions of the three lords of Morocco, the situation doesn't seem optimistic. The army of the Great Xia Dynasty has directly attacked the royal city of Rabat. "
A lord said, "With the Great Xia Dynasty's calculations and consistent style of doing things, they won't make a move unless they are 100% confident. The way I see it, Morocco is going to be doomed this time. "
"Yes, in terms of military command and planning, which territory in the world dares to compare to the Great Xia Dynasty?! They are like a peerless swordsman who loves to kill in one blow. "
The illustrious achievements of the Great Xia Dynasty in the wilderness had already made the lords of the world tremble.
Of course, there were those who agreed and those who opposed.
A lord said, "I don't think so. Sir, you are too ambitious and belittling yourself. The Great Xia Dynasty was powerful, but that was only in the China region. This time, they had crossed the ocean to fight in Africa, which was tens of thousands of miles away. Firstly, they did not have a logistical supply base, and secondly, they did not have any allies to help them. On the other hand, not only does Morocco have the advantage of fighting on their home ground, but it's also a battle of all their citizens. They might not necessarily lose. "
"Well said." A feudal lord agreed, "The Great Xia Dynasty is too arrogant and conceited this time. Does it really think that it can disregard a country just because it has established a dynasty? I think they're going to suffer a setback this time. "
"This …"
The suzerains of the Mediterranean Sea looked at each other, not knowing who to believe.
At this moment, someone raised another question. "Has everyone thought about what would happen to the Mediterranean Sea if Morocco were to be conquered by the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the lords were as wonderful as it could be. They were all intelligent people, and as long as they pondered for a while, it was not difficult to find out their current embarrassing situation.
Once the Great Xia Dynasty took over Morocco, it would be equivalent to obtaining an excellent strategic location in the Mediterranean Sea. In this way, for the Great Xia Dynasty, the various disasters caused by the sudden disintegration of the Mediterranean Sea Alliance would immediately be reduced by a small half.
The reason was not difficult to understand.
With the disintegration of the alliance, it was naturally impossible for the Mediterranean Sea Fleet to take the opportunity to dominate the Mediterranean Sea again. The Spanish Invincible Fleet, the Gallic Fleet, and the Roman Fleet would not allow it and would definitely attack together.
However, some of the intelligent lords thought deeper.
What if the Mediterranean Sea Fleet was not so ambitious and only wanted to guard the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea?!
For the Great Xia Dynasty, which had two strategic locations, the Base City and Morocco, guarding the Strait of Gibraltar was not a difficult task.
If that really happened, what would be the point of the three fleets fighting in the Mediterranean Sea?
At that time, the Great Xia Dynasty would probably be like the current Atlantis City, obtaining a transcendent existence in the Mediterranean Sea. Any feudal lord who wanted to conduct ocean trade would have to act according to their wishes.
This was where the Mediterranean Sea feudal lords were in an awkward situation.
A feudal lord said, "So, we have to help Morocco?"
"If we don't want the Great Xia Dynasty to shit on our heads in the future, it's best not to be indifferent. I think everyone understands the principle of being interdependent when the lips are gone, right? "
"Morocco is so far away from us. How can we help?" a feudal lord said bitterly.
Strictly speaking, Morocco was not a Mediterranean country. Its unique geographical location and lack of contact with the African continent made it an enclave.
The only way was to go by sea.
"No matter what, we'll help as much as we can."
Because it involved their own interests, no one could force the other. The final result of the Mediterranean Sea feudal lords' discussion was mixed.
As Andre had expected, the two Spanish feudal lords, Casillas and Juan, agreed on the spot to send the Spanish Invincible Fleet to help Morocco immediately.
"The Great Xia Dynasty has the ambition of wolves. We must not let them succeed," Casillas said.
To Casillas, this was a legitimate opportunity to attack the Mediterranean Sea Fleet. Naturally, they did not want to miss it. More importantly, they had confidence in the Spanish Invincible Fleet.
"The Invincible Fleet also needs a hearty victory to declare a strong return." Casillas, on the other hand, had a good plan. He would pick himself up from where he fell.
Henry decided to remain neutral on the grounds of not interfering with the internal affairs of Morocco, which disappointed Andre. After all, after half a year of development, the Gallic Fleet was not inferior to the Spanish Invincible Fleet.
If the two fleets could join forces, it would be enough to give the Mediterranean Sea Fleet a hard time.
Henry did not interfere because he believed that he understood the Great Xia Dynasty and Ouyang Shuo better than anyone else. If they had discovered the signs of the Great Xia Dynasty's mobilization of troops before the war had begun, Henry might have stepped forward to stop it.
Now that the Great Xia Dynasty's army had reached the city gate of Rabat, it would be too late to step forward. Not only would it not help, but they might also be dragged into the water by Morocco. The gains would not make up for the losses.
Henry was a cautious person and would never do anything risky.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the Great Xia Dynasty took over Morocco, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for Vic City. Perhaps it could also be an opportunity.
Therefore, Henry decided not to interfere.
Henry was more than happy to see the "hot-blooded" move of Casillas and the others. Was there anything more interesting than "watching the tigers fight"?!
What Andre and the others could not figure out was the attitude of the Portuguese Lord, Pedro.
Originally, Pedro seemed to have the intention to send troops to help, but after learning that the Spanish Invincible Fleet had been dispatched, Pedro unexpectedly chose to give up.
There seemed to be a knot between the two enemies, Portugal and Spain, that had not been resolved.
There was naturally a reason and logic behind Pedro's strange actions. Portugal was also once a powerful maritime country, and had once equally divided the global colonies with Spain. It had a glorious history of maritime hegemony.
As the first lord of Portugal, Pedro also had a powerful navy under his command. It was just that because Pedro was low-key, this navy was not known.
Even after the disintegration of the Mediterranean Sea Alliance, Pedro had no intention of taking the opportunity to intervene in the battle for sea control in the Mediterranean Sea. One of the reasons was the existence of Spain.
This was Portugal, and it was also a hurdle that Pedro could not avoid.
Pedro was very clear that a Morocco occupied by the Great Xia Dynasty was not a good thing for Portugal. After all, no one wanted to be neighbors with a lion.
However, the intervention of the Spanish Invincible Fleet made Pedro temporarily put aside his thoughts.
Thinking of the mysterious person that he had been in contact with before, Pedro seemed to think of another possibility. So Pedro was ready to follow Henry's example and watch the fight from the sidelines.
"Portugal will cooperate with whoever wins," Pedro thought.
Finally, it was Caesar's attitude.
Italy was located in the hinterland of the Mediterranean Sea, and it was impossible for Caesar to send troops. It was too far away. Even if Caesar wanted to send the Roman Fleet, Henry and Casillas and the others would not be willing.
The battle for sea control in the Mediterranean Sea had just begun, and the three major fleets had yet to determine the winner. How could Henry and the others allow Caesar to take the opportunity to extend their hands to Morocco?
Although Caesar did not send troops, he was the most proactive lord. He led the three lords of Morocco to constantly make connections, trying to incite the emotions of the lords to fight against the Great Xia Dynasty together.
"Unite against the foreign enemy and wipe out the foreign enemy."
Caesar's slogan was loud and clear, but the other lords might not be fooled. No one was a fool.
In short, all the lords had their own plans.
Most of the lords of the Mediterranean Sea were just watching the show. Didn't you see that even the Atlantis City was unwilling to get involved in this war with the reason of maintaining neutrality?
If there were no tangible benefits behind the scenes, who would be willing to be a good guy?
The three magnates of Morocco went one round, and the one that was really invited was the Spanish Invincible Fleet. Other than that, there were only a few lords who expressed their willingness to bring a portion of their troops to the expedition with the Spanish Invincible Fleet.
Without exception, these lords were all allies of the Spanish camp. The interior of the Mediterranean Sea Lords' Circle was not as peaceful and harmonious as it looked on the surface.
When the results came out, the three of them were naturally quite depressed. When they thought of the domestic war, they were even more anxious.
In the end, the three of them decided to let Andre stay in Atlantis City and continue the lobbying work, while Caroline and Reggie followed the Spanish Invincible Fleet to Morocco.
