Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 12: Lobbying (2)

Coughing dryly, Nelson felt a little displeased. He naturally knew that Mahad and Andako had always held objections to the sale of large military ships from the Kingdom of Milan to Xijiang. Regarding the sale of large military ships in Xijiang, in their view, the rapid expansion of Xijiang's naval power in the South China Sea will break the military balance that has been relatively peaceful, and even pose a challenge to all countries including the Kingdom of Milan, so they It is required that Milan should handle this issue carefully and should not act hastily.

But Nelson is clear that now Milan needs to face not the western border far to the west, but the increasingly aggressive Japanese. Development, not only accepted the military port on Treasure Island, the rapid expansion of sea power, but also moved a large number of Japanese people from the mainland of Japan for reclamation. In addition, Situ Tai and the Japanese formed a strategic alliance, and the Japanese people were frequently active in the outer sea of ​​Quanzhou. They even began to spy on the Huludao military port on the North Pearl Islands. Although the Huludao military port has been rented by the North Tanghe Empire for a long time, its sovereignty belongs to the Kingdom of Milan. Now the Tanghe Empire’s naval power has been wiped out in the civil war and the sneak attack by the Japanese. There is no remaining naval power, and it is impossible to assume the responsibility of coastal defense. In this way, the heavy responsibility of countering the Japanese was all bet on the shoulders of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, especially the Kingdom of Milan.

The first thing Milan needs to face now is the threat from the Japanese. This problem is the biggest disaster for Milan and the entire Triple Alliance. This made Nelson very dissatisfied with the development of naval power in the South China Sea. However, since both of them are important figures in the alliance, Nelson can't ridicule each other too much, so he can only explain patiently.

"Both, Mr. Jiexiu said just now that the reason why Xijiang put in great effort to develop the navy is because they didn't have access to the sea, so they didn't have a navy. It's understandable, you don't need to worry too much. Now that Xijiang is willing to form a strategic partnership with our Three Kingdoms Alliance, I don't think it's worth making a fuss about. I personally think that the real threat to Dadongyang and Dadongyang is now The safest place in Nanyang is the damned Japanese. I believe that the two of you can also feel the arrogance of the Japanese. Looking at the performance of the Japanese in the Atlantic over the past few years, starting from the invasion of the Cook Islands and the Crescent Peninsula by the Dotons , seized the Ryukyu Islands and Kamchatka Islands of the Tanghe Empire, and finally seized Treasure Island. Its aggression can be described as unparalleled, especially now that the Japanese are vigorously immigrating to Treasure Island for reclamation, and at the same time expanding the Gaolong military port. It has already posed a great threat to the entire Great Pearl Islands, how to resolve and even eradicate this threat is the most important and urgent issue for us now, and I believe the two of you can also be aware of this."

Both Kaiton and Moluofu could hear the dissatisfaction in the tone of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Milan. Obviously, the Milanese did not want to divert the issue of building a strategic partnership between the four parties that had just entered Hong Kong. In the eyes of the Milanese The threat of the Japanese people is far greater than that of the far-away western border, especially the aggressive Japanese people's interest in the Great Pearl Islands makes the Milanese even more uncomfortable, and the Northern Pearl Islands are right under the eyes of the Kingdom of Milan. If the Japanese took the opportunity to seize it, it would be like a dagger firmly on the throat of the Milanese. This is a situation that the Milanese absolutely cannot tolerate. However, although Mahad and Andako are also aware of the threat of the Japanese, they believe that the rise of the Xijiang people in the Southern Ocean cannot be ignored. Of course, the Xijiang people have sent the director of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Foreign Affairs Bureau to It is good news to express goodwill. At least the people of Xijiang have expressed their willingness to deal with the Japanese with the Three Kingdoms Alliance. Although they are in different places through different channels, as long as they are fighting the Japanese of.

"Yes, Mr. Nelson is right. Now the Japanese people have shown a very strong desire to expand whether on land or at sea. Now the Japanese people are emigrating vigorously in the Crescent Peninsula, Kamchatka Island and Baodao. The immigrants in the Crescent Peninsula and Kamchatka reached 100,000 and 30,000 respectively, and the immigrants in Baodao exceeded 200,000. The intention of such large-scale immigration is obviously to strengthen their presence in these places According to the information we have obtained, the Japanese have already negotiated with Situ Tai on the lease of Quanzhou Port and Dengzhou Port, and it is rumored that they also requested to lease a wharf at Jinling River Port. These are unacceptable to our side. According to the information we obtained in the Southern Ocean, Japanese intelligence gathering ships have appeared in the Mawen Islands, it seems that the Japanese have extended their claws to the Southern Ocean, and this also needs to attract our attention.”

Wang Jiexiu glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Kaiton and Moluofu. He didn't want to cause discord between the parties because of this issue. Psychologically, Wang Jiexiu even intentionally disclosed the activities of the Japanese in the empire. As for the activities of the Japanese in the Marwen Islands, he deliberately exaggerated a little, and the purpose was to remind Kaiton and Moluofu to focus on In your own backyard, don't focus on other people's territory. What's more, the activities of the Japanese in the Great Pearl Islands are not empty words, and the activities in the Mawen Islands are true, but I have slightly expanded the scope of their activities.

What Wang Jiexiu said really surprised Kaidun and Moluofu. The activities of the Japanese in the hinterland of the Tanghe Empire and their secret connection with Situ Tai were nothing new. It is absolutely impossible for them to be willing to use the real benefits for you, but this is the first time they have heard that the Japanese's claws have extended to the Mawen Islands. You must know that the Mawen Islands are already in the center of the South China Sea, and the Japanese people now control them. In order to reach the Mawen Islands, it is necessary to pass through the Great Pearl Islands and the Caroline Islands further south, and these islands are controlled by the Grand Duchy of Mahad and Andako, which means that the power of the Japanese has surpassed the Great Pearl Islands and the Carolines, it's unimaginable.

Suppressing the panic in his heart, the slight trembling of the gray-yellow short beard looked a little funny. Moluofu was really nervous at this moment. If what the other party said was true, he had to ask the navy to make necessary adjustments. Even the power of the Japanese has spread to the hinterland of the Southern Ocean. As the diplomatic and commercial officer of the Principality of Andako, he didn’t even know about it. This means that the intelligence department and the navy have failed in their duties. I don’t know how you know about the activities of the Japanese people?”

"Lord Moluofu, just as Lord Kaiton said just now, the Nanyang Alliance has handed over the sovereignty of Ludao to Xijiang, and Xijiang is planning to build a new port on Ludao, so we are concerned about the activities around the Mawen Islands. The situation is very concerned. According to the information obtained by our reconnaissance ship, in March, we have discovered Japanese intelligence gathering ships operating in the eastern part of the Mawen Islands three times, measuring waterways and collecting hydrographic data. Our naval patrol boats also captured a The Japanese intelligence gathering ship was operating near Ludao and arrested seven crew members. Although the Japanese disguised themselves as fishermen, a large number of nautical charts and hydrographic data obtained from their ships proved that they were spies and special agents of the Japanese naval intelligence department. Interrogated by the security department, they all confessed to their actions, and they are still detained in our prison. But it is regrettable that these situations do not seem to have attracted enough attention from the other owner of the Mawen Islands, the Nanyang Alliance."

Wang Jiexiu intentionally avoided the status quo of Xijiang's establishment of a naval base on Ludao. He only said that the establishment of Xingang was for military or civilian use. What they care about is whether the activities of the Japanese are true. If the Japanese have already collected intelligence data near the Mawen Islands, it means that the Great Pearl Islands and the Caroline Islands, which are closer to the Mawen Islands, are not a problem. The intention to look at the Great Nanyang is becoming more and more obvious.

Hearing Wang Jiexiu's eloquent introduction, not only did Moluofu and Kaidun gasp, but even Nelson felt that the threat of the Japanese was imminent, and the Japanese's thirst for land seemed endless. If they can get a little edge, they will always find ways to get close, looking for opportunities.

Seeing the three of them looking at each other, Wang Jiexiu struck while the iron was hot: "Now the Japanese and Situ Tai, the guy who betrayed his ancestors, are getting mixed up. Situ Tai has actually become the spokesperson of the Japanese in the empire. In exchange for the support of the Japanese people, my Royal Highness Qin Wang has made it clear that no matter what the situation is, he will never allow the Japanese forces to expand indefinitely on the East Continent. The East Continent can only belong to us East Continent people, so the West We will do everything possible to combat the Japanese forces, and do everything possible to help our allies contain the arrogance of the Japanese people. In this regard, I believe that our interests are the same, but the interests of the Japanese people pay more attention to the sea, and our current military The action will be more on land, so if the three feel that there is something that needs Xijiang's support, please feel free to say that as long as Xijiang can do it, you will never refuse."

Wang Jiexiu's generous promise seemed to move the three of them a little. After all, Xijiang had demonstrated a strong enough land military strength. Although there may be other purposes behind the sincerity of the other party, in the face of the great enemy of the Japanese Japanese, the interests of all parties are consistent, which is enough, at least there is a basis for cooperation, as for the future, who can say clearly? .

After exchanging colors, the three of them fell silent. They seemed to be thinking carefully about each other's proposal. And for the time being, there are no irreconcilable contradictions, which means that an alliance is possible. There is already an alliance among the three countries, so naturally there is nothing, but joining the strong Xijiang, although it is only a local government, but this However, the local government has a decisive influence in the entire Eastern Continent and even the Central Continent. The Triple Alliance has become the Four-Nation Alliance. Will the alliance structure change? There seems to be only one goal, and that is the Japanese, but only one Japanese is worth such a fuss what? Will it seem a little overkill?

"Master Jiexiu, we are very grateful for your kindness. Uh, I personally agree with your idea. After all, we have a common enemy, but I really want to hear Xijiang's thoughts after joining our Triple Alliance. , or to put it more bluntly, after Xijiang joined the Triple Alliance, what do we need from our three countries, and what can we bring to our three countries?"

After being silent for a while, seeing Kaiton and Moluofu just hanging their heads and sipping wine, they obviously didn't intend to intervene on this issue before they spoke to him. Before going to the meeting, His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister had already conducted full consultations with him on this issue, and made detailed responses to various scenarios, so he didn't feel nervous, but on the surface he had to pretend Looks awkward.

Here it comes, Wang Jiexiu thought in his heart, what should come has finally come, the whole night was just useless words, from now on the parties will really talk about the real business, everything else is just a cumbersome opening speech, seeing the eyes of the three Having already fallen on his own face, Wang Jiexiu nodded lightly. Since they are using and needing each other, there is no need to be too servile. Being neither humble nor overbearing may make people feel the value of each other.

"Since Mr. Nelson said this, it would not be clear enough for Jiexiu to cover up. Now that the real battle between Xijiang and Situtai is about to start, Xijiang does not hope that the country where you are located can be given to you. To be honest, it will be a matter of time before Situtai can be resolved. However, since the Maqihans may launch an attack in Sanjiang and the peninsula, Jiexiu hopes that the Three Kingdoms Alliance can hold back the Maqihans in the east. The Maqihan people, prevent them from taking advantage of the fire when we are at war with Situtai. Although the peninsula is not a matter of life and death for Xijiang, as the mouth of Xijiang on the South Sea, it still has a very large business in terms of trade. Value, so His Royal Highness Qin Wang does not want this area to be devastated by war. At the very least, we hope that our allies can hold back a considerable number of troops from the Machi Khans in the east for us, so that they cannot concentrate on going west. This is our most basic principle. In addition, we also hope that our allies can provide us with the necessary help in the training of naval personnel and promote the rapid growth of our Western Xinjiang Navy. Of course, it is our duty to fight against the Japanese.”

Wang Jiexiu's words were very sincere, without any embellishment or concealment, which won the unanimous satisfaction of the three people, "Mr. Jiexiu, you have stated the requirements of Xijiang, we still want to hear, if we do this , what can our three countries get?"

"Well, the first is the friendship in Xijiang, which is the most important." With a slight smile, Wang Jiexiu's face is full of confidence, but it is also the least valuable, "Secondly, the Huludao military port in the Northern Pearl Islands, After winning the war against Situtai in Xijiang, it will become a joint naval base of the four-nation alliance, and any navy of the four countries can station at the Huludao military port.”

Nelson wrinkled his forehead slightly. This is unsatisfactory. The Northern Pearl Islands were originally Milan's inherent territory, but they were only leased by the Tanghe Empire for a long time. Milan's idea is to take back this island, but Western Xinjiang does not seem to have such It is certainly a good thing for Mahad and Andako to allow the naval fleets of the four countries to dock, but it is of little value to Milan. After all, not far from Huludao, there is the Kingdom’s navy. naval port.

"The military port of Ludao on the Mawen Islands will also become the naval base of the Four Nations Alliance, and the navies of the four countries can be stationed there."

This point is a bit interesting. If you can dock at Ludao, then the navies of the three countries will have a supply station in the middle of the Southern Ocean, and the scope of activities of the navies of the three countries will be greatly expanded.

"Uh, besides, •••••••" Wang Jiexiu seemed to feel that some words were not easy to say, as if he was thinking about it words, and only when the appetites of the three were whetted did they say: "Given that the Nanyang Alliance does not attach much importance to the sovereignty of the Mawen Islands and the change in the ownership requirements of the aborigines on the Mawen Islands ~ IndoMTL.com ~ we feel that It is necessary to reconvene a meeting to determine the ownership of the sovereignty of the Mawen Islands. Well, Xijiang believes that the Kingdom of Milan, the Grand Duchy of Mahad, and the Principality of Andako should all be important members of this meeting to discuss the division of sovereignty of the Mawen Islands. problem."

As soon as Wang Jiexiu said these words, they immediately caused waves of waves. The Mawen Islands are the most important archipelago in the central part of the Southern Ocean. Their sovereignty has always belonged to the coastal countries of the Nanyang Alliance. The coast of the mainland is far away. Compared with some islands that are closer to the coast of the mainland, its transportation value and strategic significance seem to be less obvious. At least for the Nanyang Alliance, which values ​​​​commercial value above everything else, the value of the Mawen Islands is far away. Not as good as the big and small Gulu Islands that are close to the coast of the mainland. Most of the Mawen Islands with hundreds of islands are in a primitive closed state. Even for a few islands that have been developed, the developer has a bad relationship with the indigenous people living on the island. This is also an important reason why Xijiang can easily obtain the sovereignty of the three islands.
