    Chapter 284: Applying pressure

    Ms. Luna led the Thorn Fleet and sealed off the Faraway Island tightly, prohibiting any ship from entering the Faraway Island port.  ~~This is undoubtedly a good choice. After blocking the port, the Liverpool people cannot receive supplies from the outside world.  As for the Army Regiment of the Principality of Liverpool on the island, the supplies they carry, even if they add some food and fresh water from the distant islands, can only last for more than a week.  As long as these Liverpool people are too hungry to fight, won't the Florentines win without a fight?

    However, Lin Tan, who was far away in Anfield, had never planned to settle the victory of this operation at sea or on a distant island.  If Lin Tan really planned to do this, he would be too stupid.  Not taking advantage of one's powerful army and trying to solve the problem of distant islands through the sea fleet is not a choice that a smart person should make.

    Of course, giving full play to the advantages of the army cannot be solved through war.  As soon as the Thorns Fleet departed from the port of Florence, Lin Tan immediately lodged a stern diplomatic protest with the diplomatic ambassador of the Principality of Florence stationed at Anfield, condemning the Florentines for not being able to do so.  Honor the contract.  In the past contract, although both parties had the right to station troops on Far Island, there were also strict regulations on the number of troops: the total number of naval or other related military personnel and administrative personnel should not exceed one  Fifteen hundred people.  No matter what Lin Tan did, whether it was the Flegg fleet sent before or the army troops sent later, the total number of people strictly maintained not exceeding this limit.  The Florentine people are different. The number of naval soldiers in a Thorn Fleet reaches tens of thousands, which is more than a few points more than the number agreed in the contract.

    After receiving the news that the Thorn Fleet had blocked the Faraway Island, Lin Tan immediately responded accordingly.  Nearly 5,000 soldiers from the Chinese Knights and more than 3,000 soldiers from the First Legion of Liverpool were transferred by Lin Tan to the border between the two countries, posing the most powerful threat to the Principality of Florence.  At the same time, at the Alliance Parliament, the diplomatic envoys of Liverpool and Manchester also had a very tough attitude, demanding that the Florentines fulfill the contract as quickly as possible and evacuate the Thorn Fleet from Far Island.  Otherwise, Anfield will interpret Florence's provocation as a declaration of war.

    The Florentines also responded extremely strongly. Wembley and Severnity remained silent in the Union Parliament, while Florence and Meazza joined forces with Manchester and Liverpool.  officials engaged in a debate that lasted several hours.  At the same time, in the Principality of Florence, General Batistuta led the Purple Lily Army and part of the Florence regular army, also totaling nearly 10,000 soldiers, placed on the border between the two countries.

    ¡°If we can have a battle with the Florentines on land, then of course we will agree with Lin Tan.  If Lin Tan and the Florentines can fight without interference, Lin Tan will never get upset even though the other side is commanded by a famous general like General Batty. After all, he has the power of two countries and the strength of the army.  There are many more people than Florence.  But this war is destined to be impossible to fight. The Florentines cannot take the initiative to attack out of their wits. If Lin Tan wants to attack the Florentines, several other countries will definitely intervene.  Not to mention the Kingdom of Meazza, which has been very uneasy about Lin Tan's rise, the other two countries that have remained silent will inevitably intervene in this war after seeing the fireworks of war spreading from the sea to the land.  proceeding.

    In fact, Lin Tan already vaguely felt that he had made some miscalculations.  He did not expect that the Florentines would be so determined on the issue of Far Island.  Originally, he thought that after successfully capturing Far Island, the Florentines would relent under diplomatic pressure and military pressure from the border.  But the current situation was a bit beyond his expectation.

    But Lin Tan is definitely not willing to give up Far Island. It is a place that Liverpool and Lin Tan must win on the way to the rise of the sea. If they want to get a share of the rich sea, Florence, Lin Tan  The direct competitors must be eliminated.  Besides, if this operation fails, wouldn't Lin Tan's tough attitude before become a joke?  This is not just about face. Lin Tan doesn't take face too seriously.  However, don't forget that Lin Tan's ability to reach this point is closely related to his always tough attitude.

    He has always appeared in front of the countries of the alliance as a heroic and tough military strategist. The failure of this operation will undoubtedly cast a shadow on Lin Tan's image and make him more aware of the surrounding countries.  The powerful deterrent power of the country and forces, or the forces within one's own country, has been greatly weakened, which is a great way for Lin Tan to maintain his rule.bad news.

    Even if he wants to maintain his political image, Lin Tan must be tougher.  What's more, for the sake of his ocean dream, he had no intention of stopping.

    In the Alliance Parliament, the diplomatic envoys of the Principality of Manchester and the Principality of Liverpool, who represented Lin Tan's will, continued to maintain diplomatic pressure on the Florentines and actively sought for the Kingdom of Wembley and the Principality of Severon to  Give Lin Tan some support in this incident.  However, at this time, the political power struggle in the Kingdom of Wembley has gradually become more intense, and Lin Tan's father-in-law and Prince Cretino are competing in a battle of wits and courage.  The Principality of Severon, on the other hand, still maintains their usual style. As long as it has nothing to do with their own vital interests, they will never express too many opinions.

    It¡¯s just that Liverpool and Manchester are actually one, and they are all under Lin Tan¡¯s forces.  On the opposite side, Meazza and Florence are two different countries. Although they have common interests in dealing with Lin Tan, in any case, these two countries are not monolithic. Lin Tan has many ways to deal with it.  segmentation.

    In addition to continuing to exert pressure on diplomacy, Lin Tan also urgently ordered Major General Draco, who was leading more than 8,000 soldiers at the border, to advance at a speed of five miles per day to attack the Florentines and Batistu.  General Tower applied pressure.

    Lin Tan didn¡¯t believe that Grand Duke Colin could still sit in Florence and stay comfortably?
