Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding Section 123 Sikkim

Seeing Bo Jinchen's suspicious gaze, Wufeng nodded, took a sip of rice wine, and said calmly: "Yes, I want Cheng Dayou to open a passage in the southwest direction, the raised road between the Middle East and the mainland. It is more appropriate for us to control the headland area, I don't want our future development direction to be controlled by others."

Bo Jinchen's mind immediately sketched out the geographical situation of the protruding headland area at the junction of the Middle East and mainland.

To the west of East Samoa is the city-state of Nan'an. The city-state of Nan'an is not a traditional city, but a union of towns and cities formed by the union of several towns. It's just that the council of the town union is located in Nan'an Town. The handicraft industry in the region is particularly developed, but it has always maintained political neutrality. Even when the peninsula alliance was at its peak, it was always independent from the peninsula alliance.

The gentle **** in the northern part of the Nan'an city-state near the southern end of the Hengduan Mountains belongs to the Principality of Suoketu, which is closely related to the original Principality of Bali. Extending to the middle mainland, since there is no outlet to the sea, and most of the land is mountainous and sloping, the economy is quite backward. The grand dukes Clark and Mutu should be cousins. They have always been members of the Peninsula Alliance. Later, after the collapse of the Eastern Peninsula Alliance, they declared Neutral and independent of the Western Peninsula Alliance, the Western Frontier Army did not advance westward because of the need to reach an armistice agreement with the Western Peninsula Alliance as soon as possible after controlling the entire Eastern Peninsula Alliance. Without much practical value, it acquiesced to the fact that the Suoketu Principality withdrew from the Western Peninsula Alliance.

To the west of Nan'an city-state is the urban republic of Western Samoa corresponding to East Samoa. It should be said that East Samoa, Nan'an city-state, and Western Samoa belong to the same clan in terms of race, nationality and religious belief, but formed by historical origin In spite of the current situation of unbalanced economic development, the Western Samoa City Republic is also well-known for its shipbuilding, fishing, shipping, and pearl cultivation. Although it has not joined the Peninsula Alliance in the name of maintaining neutrality, it is actually recognized as a supernumerary of the Alliance. member states. In all aspects of economy and politics, the Western Peninsula Alliance maintains a very close relationship.

The most important force in this area is probably Sikkim Island, located south of the Sikkim Strait. Sikkim Island and several small islands around Sikkim Island are collectively called the Sikkim City Republic, which is the most developed and active economy in the entire peninsula. , is also the richest and most powerful city republic. The southern and western waters of Sikkim Island are famous fishing grounds and pearl farms in the South China Sea and Latin Ocean. Industry, salt industry, handicraft industry, fishing industry are quite developed.

Industrial and commercial power controls the power of the city republic, and the parliament of the republic is almost monopolized by the large industrial and commercial class. Anything that violates the interests of the business community will be regarded as a violation of the Republic. The economic strength of the City Republic can be regarded as the leader in the entire peninsula, and most of them are distributed in the port area with Sikkim City as the center.

The port of Sikkim on Sikkim Island straddles the key point of the Sikkim Strait, facing the port of West Samoa far away, and controls the passing waterway of the Sikkim Strait. Passing ships passing here must accept the joint inspection on the small island in the middle of the Sikkim Strait There is also a squadron of the Sikkim City Republic Naval Fleet stationed here to maintain absolute control over the strait.

Dayue Island in the north of Sikkim Island, although the island is not big, it is just stuck in the junction of the Latin Ocean and the Great Nanyang in the south of Sikkim Island. Any ship that wants to bypass the Sikkim Strait to enter and leave the Latin Ocean and the Great South Sea is within the control of the Sikkim Navy stationed on this island. The Dalai Naval Port on Daxie Island is also the most important military port of the Sikkim City Republic, the Sikkim City Republic The naval fleet is also one of the most powerful naval fleets in the entire peninsula. It has a naval fleet including thirteen large warships, and has also formed a small but quite capable army force. Coupled with a powerful mercenary force as an auxiliary force, it can be called an important military force that can influence the situation of the entire peninsula.

However, since the establishment of the Sikkim City Republic, it has been pursuing the policy of independence, self-reliance, neutrality and three establishments, maintaining the absolute autonomy of the entire city republic, developing ocean-going trade externally, and encouraging the development of commercial and financial industries internally. It is not only the industrial and commercial center of the entire peninsula region . It is also the most important financial center in the entire peninsula region and even in the southern part of the middle mainland. Dozens of large multinational commercial banks have set up their headquarters here. They have financial assets and circulation systems and influence throughout the middle mainland and the southern part of the eastern mainland.

Since the establishment of the Peninsula Alliance, it has always hoped that Sikkim can join the Peninsula Alliance and become the political, economic and military leader of the Peninsula Alliance. However, the Sikkim City Republic Council rejected the proposal to join the Peninsula Alliance for three times, and believed that it would maintain the three-in-one policy that it has always implemented. It is more conducive to the growth of one's own national strength. It is more in line with the interests of Sikkim. The reason why Nan'an city-state has not joined the Peninsula Alliance is also largely affected by Sikkim's policies. But in fact, although Sikkim has not joined the Peninsula Alliance, it has great influence on its surrounding areas, especially the Peninsula region, especially on Nan'an City-State and Western Samoa. These two places follow Sikkim's neutral and non-aligned policy. It has become another force outside the peninsula alliance. In addition, the current Suoketu Principality is also trying to strengthen its ties with Nan'an City-State and Western Samoa, and these three places have a faint tendency to become a vassal force of Sikkim.

Taking a deep breath, Bo Jinchen tried his best to sort out his confused thoughts. It seems that His Royal Highness King Qin really wants to make a breakthrough in the southwest direction. Once he wants to expand westward, the primary goal is either Nan'an or Suoke Figure, while Sauktu is more likely.

But now Sikkim is stimulated by the fall of the Eastern Peninsula Alliance into the empire's territory, and gradually realizes that this threat from the east may endanger Sikkim's special status in this region, and has begun to make conscious policy adjustments.

On the one hand, it has increased its connection with Nan'an city-state and Western Samoa, and even became enthusiastic about the Suoketu Principality, which was previously dismissed. The road widening and reconstruction project of the port of Samoa was guaranteed by the Sikkim City Republic and supported by loans from three commercial banks in Sikkim. The connection between the Suketu Principality and Asia Port allows the large amount of products of the Principality of Suketu to be easily transported abroad, and the economy of the Principality of Saukettu can also usher in an era of take-off. More importantly, this road can connect the Principality of Saukettu and Western Samoa The city-states of Nan'an, Nan'an and even Sikkim are all connected together at once, which is also of great strategic significance from a military point of view.

On the other hand, the City Republic of Sikkim is also in frequent contact with the countries of the Western Peninsula Alliance. I am afraid that the possibility of the two sides forming an alliance will be even greater.

Bo Jinchen doesn’t know if these two reasons have stimulated His Highness King Qin. Once the neutral force headed by Sikkim forms an alliance with the Western Peninsula Alliance, the Western Peninsula Alliance is still in conflict with the two major powers in the south of the mainland. The Kingdom of Oran and the Kingdom of Jutland are allies. Once this huge alliance is formed, it will undoubtedly be a huge curb for the empire to expand its sphere of influence to the west along the southwest direction.

"Jinchen believes that Your Highness must have your own intentions for such an idea, but Nan'an City-State and Suoketu Principality are now very close to the Sikkim City Republic, and any actions we make in the southwest will probably attract them This joint resistance of the third force under the guise of neutrality ~IndoMTL.com~ may even attract the intervention of the Western Peninsula Alliance in the west. I wonder if His Highness has considered this issue? The power of Sikkim cannot be underestimated, according to Jinchen As we all know, although our military operations in the Eastern Peninsula were carried out quite smoothly at that time, there was an objective reason for this, that is, some of the main military forces in the Eastern Peninsula—mercenaries—had already marched to the Western Peninsula Alliance area. In this special situation, we were able to achieve such results by using a quick-fix strategy, but now our most important advantage no longer exists. The Sikkim City Republic is not only not weak in naval power, but its army's combat effectiveness is also the whole The leader in the peninsula region, compared with the military powers in the middle mainland such as Pasha, West Orland, and Jutland, except for a slightly smaller scale, it can be called the first-class in the south, and their main auxiliary force-the number of mercenaries is even more 50,000 people, plus their regular army, Sikkim alone has 100,000 troops. Although it is separated from the mainland by the Sikkim Strait, Sikkim's domestic shipping capabilities are capable of long-distance transportation and delivery of troops. If we want to take military action here, we have to take these factors into consideration.”

Bo Jinchen's words made Wufeng very satisfied. It seems that I have found the right person to invite this person to discuss this matter today. Although I have raised so many objective difficulties for myself, I am able to raise these objective existences The unfavorable factors allow myself to carefully consider the pros and cons. Many problems can be thought of in advance, rather than not being aware of them until the end of the incident. At least now, I can analyze and sort out these unfavorable conditions one by one to see how to resolve them.
