Chapter 35: Take the initiative
"Yes."
And Veserys was very sensitive to the disappointment in the old jazz's tone, and his heart sank slightly.
But on the surface, he opened his mouth very calmly.
"If we want to regain the Iron Throne, just relying on the ship and resources in front of us is not enough."
At the same time, Veserys secretly said that even Aegon did not rely on three dragons to conquer Westeros. Aegon was surrounded by an army.
first landed where King’s Landing is now, and built a small castle with wood called Fort Aegon.
Let the Rossby family and the Stokworth family quickly surrender, and then officially began the war of conquest.
What's more, there are no dragons in Targaryen now. If you only rely on a fleet to counterattack Westeros, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream.
And if you stick to Dragon Stone Island and don’t leave, without the supplement of resources, then defeat is only a matter of time.
"My child, what you said makes sense, but you don't understand the actual situation."
But when Viserys had something to say, he was interrupted by the old Sir.
The name has also changed from ‘His Royal Highness’ to a child.
The old Sir still feels a little disappointed in his heart. It seems that Veselis is not enough to reach the height of his brother.
But it doesn’t matter. He is still young and can still be cultivated. If it’s Prince Rega here...
Do not.
Prince Rega has been defeated.
In fact, if it were not for the selfish desires of Rega and Leona, this war of usurpers would not have been provoked at all, and the whole country could last at least a few more years under the toss of the mad king...
My thoughts suddenly thought of this, and the old Sir felt a little confused. There seemed to be something wrong with the goal he had been chasing, and his voice stopped for a while.
The whole picture table hall fell into silence in an instant.
Queen Layla, who is sitting on the main seat with a big belly, has suffered some serious mental problems due to the continuous heavy blows in the past six months.
She heard Visiris's words, and then she became excited again. To her, Longshidao had a very strong meaning. Even if she understood it, she couldn't really give up Longshidao and flee to the Eastern Continent.
"impossible!"
The silver-haired woman didn't rest well last night, her beautiful lavender eyes were bloodshot, and her hair was a bit messy, she suddenly slapped the table and said sharply.
"Your Majesty..."
However, at this moment, the old Sir slightly raised his hand and tried to interrupt Queen Laila.
But regardless of the emotional woman, she firmly does not allow this to happen.
"It is absolutely impossible to give up Longshidao!!!"
"Your Majesty!"
However, Sir Jeffrey also followed along and raised his voice abruptly, interrupting Queen Layla again, and finally closing the other party's mouth temporarily.
He has interrupted what Queen Layla and Viselis were about to say, but Queen Layla did not dare to be angry with each other, because now the last force of the Dragon Stone Island fleet is in his hands.
Queen Leila and Veselis dare not offend each other.
After interrupting the woman's voice, the old sir looked at Veselis with piercing eyes, and then continued to speak.
"The actual situation is... Your Highness, the nine free trade city states will not allow us to step in."
The nine free trade city-states may seem loose and even full of contradictions, but they will be united in the face of foreign enemies.
Because it concerns their vital interests, they don't want an external force to break this balance.
Although this force is not very powerful, at least it cannot be ignored, and even because of their identities, it may cause a war in the future.
If only the widow and orphan of Weselis escaped to the mainland of Essos, the nine free trade city-states might open their arms and actively accept it, in order to create a little trouble for Westeros.
And if Veselis came to the Eastern Continent with a fleet, then the attitude of the trading city-state would undergo a radical change.
Because they knew that the Iron Throne on the other side of the Narrow Sea might ignore a pair of orphans and widows, but they would never allow Targaryen to make a comeback in Essos.
So in the future, a fierce war is likely to occur between the two continents, just like the battle of the Nine Copper Plate Kings many years ago.
The Iron Throne will never allow an existence that has the opportunity to challenge his position in the future to continue to survive, and may even take the initiative to attack.
And these unstable factors made them acceptable for Queen Veserys and Layla, and even actively helped them escape to Dragon Stone Island, in order to make a little trouble for the Iron Throne.
But Viserys will never be allowed to come with a fleet.
"It turned out to be like this."
When Viserys heard these words, the expression on his face was very clear and slightly stunned.
He is really not very clear about these details. After all, he is just talking on paper. Veselis knows a lot, but he also doesn't know more.
These are some insignificant little details hidden in this magnificent landscape.
However, these small details often affect the overall situation.
"Sorry Sir."
Veselis still sat in a chair for a while entangled for a while~www.NovelMTL.com~ but couldn't say a better excuse. In fact, any steel alliance will have its loose parts, let alone the nine free trade city states. I'm still fighting in a place.
If you want to find a chance, you can definitely find it.
However, Veserys didn't say that, because it sounded like a quibble, and the incident just now sounded a wake-up call for him.
Anything is definitely not just as simple as what he sees on the surface.
He cannot use ‘I think’ as a basis for judgment and decision-making. Anything needs to come up with tangible evidence to prove his rationality.
Veserys is very fortunate that he is not in power now. If the old jazz did not hesitate to follow his advice, it might cause serious consequences instead.
If the road to the free trade city-state is cut off, then there is really no way out for the two of Viselis and her son.
Thinking of these Veselis even felt a little cold behind his back.
then raised his head and apologized to Sir Jeffrey.
"I was too negligent."
However, the old Sir stood in front of the map but put away his arrogant expression uncharacteristically. The expression on his face was slightly loosened, accepting Viselis's apology, and then suddenly spoke.
"But the words of your highness did remind me."
"what?"
Veserys was taken aback for a moment.
He had just been immersed in the frustration of failing to show his presence for the first time, but he didn't expect the old Sir to say so suddenly.
Then he heard the other party continue to say.
"We really shouldn't just wait and die."
"But take the initiative!"
