Power and Empire Chapter 1829: Makino Morrowind (2)
The Falcon Imperial Army dominates the North, and the Falcon Imperial Navy also enters the Obaron Inland Sea with a high profile at this time. With the promulgation of the Imperial Ocean’s Freedom Strategy, plus sufficient preparation for nearly three months, the first batch One thousand one hundred armed merchant ships are heading to the new area,
The flag of the Falcon Empire fluttered in the wind on the towering masts of the commercial fleet, and the heavy bow was like a knife splitting the blue and mirror-like Inner Sea of the Obaron. It appeared in large numbers on the docks of coastal countries. The private fleet flying the Falcon flag and the merchant fleet loaded with large quantities of goods from the north are very popular with ports. For a long time, the maritime trade between the northern and central regions has been monopolized by the Congolese Empire, so that the price of the northern specialties is very high. High, the arrival of these merchant fleets has brought prosperous trade and wealth to the port area,
is like a shining signal transmitted between the European countries, that is, the European countries have to start to face the issue of the replacement of the northern hegemony. The balance of the central and northern Europe has lasted for a hundred years, and it has been almost long. Let the Central European and Baro countries not think that there is a possibility that the power can shake the northern hegemonic Gaul, even if the war between the Congo and Gaul empire in Central Europe is just a partial raging war that occurred around the southwestern region. The possibility of a war that can shake the foundation of a huge empire is very slim,
But now, a war that determines the life and death of the empire is breaking out in the north. From the northwest to Dalni, the Gaul army has suffered heavy casualties. In July, the central Obaro countries had to start to pay attention to the major changes that are taking place in the north. , When the smoke of the tragic battle of Dalny dissipated, the result of the battle again ended with heavy losses to the Gaul army. The Falcons marched down from the Dalny Plateau, and even the six provinces of Kgaul entered Gaul. In the Kyoto area, as far as the entire Obaro continent is concerned, the Falcon Empire rising in the northwest has undoubtedly been completed, a transition from a kingdom to an empire.
Presented in front of the central European countries, is a terrifying behemoth with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and a population of 50 million. This new northern overlord with an overseas barbarian background has made a lot of The Central European and Baro countries all remember the tragic invasion of the steppe cavalry hundreds of years ago. It was also of a barbarian background, and was also known for being cruel and bloodthirsty. The long whip of the steppe empire at the time made the entire Central and Northern Europe Barrow blood dripping. As a result, more than a dozen kingdoms perished. For the entire Central Europe, the 20 years of the invasion of the steppes was the "Winter Era" in which blood invaded the ankles
The relationship between countries is the first measure of strength, regardless of other countries, many people have connections with the Gaul Empire, and some even have friendships of more than 100 years.
But at a moment, the Gaul Empire was steadily retreating and losing ground in the Northern War. The central European countries felt that the winter was coming overnight (the south was too chaotic, and many kingdoms claimed to be Empire, the name of the empire and recognized as the northern central region of Obaro, there are hundreds of regimes with kingdom names, and currently only the Gaul Empire in the north, the Congo Fei Empire in the central part, and the Istan Empire can be crowned as empires. , And now a Falcon Empire must be added!)
This cold wind comes from the coast of the sea in the northwest. This powerful empire has risen like a whirlwind. The army has set off a **** storm in the northern part of the Obaro continent. Regardless of what attitude this new neighbor, who has a large number of merchant ships and a powerful army, will treat himself. With all kinds of ulterior missions, the wagons of diplomats from the Central European and Baro countries began to rush towards the newly emerging power in the north.
There is even the Congolese Empire, which has suffered heavy damage from the Falcon Empire and the Emperor also fell. Because of the defeat of the "Spring War", the Congolese Empire has given up part of the coastal areas, which led to the complete loss of maritime trade. For Congo, a country with a population of more than 30 million people who has just completed a difficult move to Beijing and urgently needs a large amount of fiscal and tax revenue, it is tantamount to being born with a disability before walking, according to the proposal of Duke Rubinsack, Minister of Military Affairs of Congo.
"In order to gain a chance to breathe, the Congolese cede the sparsely forested areas rich in minerals. This time, in order to regain the coastline, the Congolese can provide the commercial town of Dodan, which is on the northern coastline of Congo The largest trade distribution center is close to the ceded sparse forest area and the general coast under the control of the Falcon Empire. This is a tasteless for the navy's lost Gang Fei.
" But for the Falcon Empire, the control of the Dordan region means that the continuity of the control of the entire north-central Obaro coast has been realized. This is a temptation that the monarch of any country cannot refuse. Experience The rich old handsome Duke Rubinsack pointed out very directly
"Once the war breaks out again, the Falcon Empire cannot refuse such a piece of fat on its lips and ignore it without biting it. The Imperial Navy fleet will not be able to participate in the war for 20 years. Since it cannot be kept, it is better to simply exchange it for a bit. Substantial Ligai,
" Completely hand over the coastline. From a strategic point of view, it can divert the attention of the Falcon Empire and shift its strategic focus to the sea instead of staring at Gang Fei! "In the resolute look of the old handsome Rubin Sack There is a trace of the determination of a strong man breaking his wrist,
His gaze looked at the new emperor who was only seven years old on the throne. Moving to Beijing damaged his grand prestige. Even though many of his subordinates and students, some people firmly opposed the decision to move to Beijing. During the time when the decision to move to Beijing was made, every day, young enthusiastic officers stood on their knees and hunger strikes in front of the gate of the Ministry of Military Affairs. In order to express their desire to fight for the empire, they finally chose to use extreme caesarean suicide. There are as many as thirty-seven young officers. The bones of these thirty-seven are buried at the foot of Alpke Mountain in the outskirts of the original Kyoto, which has become a holy place in the minds of the younger generation of officers.
At the time when the flowers are shining at the foot of the July Mountain, the officers who came to worship came in a rush.
Unlike these thirty-seven young officers who enjoyed respect after their deaths, the reputation accumulated by the old coach Rubin Sack fell to a freezing point because of Qianjinger, and names such as traitors and cowards flooded like sea water, even him. His son and daughter also proposed to draw a line with him. The once glorious Rubin family was cast in gray and gloomy. The only thing that made him gratified was that the performance of the seven-year-old emperor surpassed that of his peers.
Although he is only seven years old, he has shown the potential of being a qualified heir to the empire. In the face of most people’s opposition, the little emperor came to Rubinsack’s in the cold and snowy eve before moving to Beijing. At the mansion, the childish voice said, "I don't like war, because war has cost me my father, but I know that as an emperor, I must face all of this. Please teach me, Marshal Rubin Sack!" This is frustrating. The dead Rubin Sack felt a warm current in the "severe cold", he seemed to have seen the figure of the dead stubborn one-armed emperor again,
"Gang Fei's spine hasn't broken yet!"
looked up at the white snow falling from the sky, the old man’s eyes were very clear, like the emperor, so did the officers, just like the empire’s army soul is still there, he’s most worried about time now, I don’t know if he can live Seeing the day when Gangfei re-emerged
With these conditions, the messenger of the Congolese Empire, Rasfell, came to the southwest area where the messengers from all the countries gathered. He first submitted the documents for the foreign conversation to the governor’s mansion in the southwest area. The one who received him was a black hair. The beautiful woman in, received the negotiation documents from Rasfer and took a look. Li Yuehua's face was a bit strange. She was a little surprised by the weakness of Gangfei Empire,
"Just to obtain maritime trade rights, are you willing to ced out the strategically important Dordan?" Li Yuehua's eyebrows frowned. Maritime trade is important, but it is too much to cede such an important area. Fei’s new emperor is only seven years old, and the possibility of proposing such conditions also exists.
"Without maritime trade, the Dordan region will not be able to function at all. Instead of this, it is more reasonable to give your country the right to trade at sea!" Rasfer said calmly.
"Well, I will submit this negotiation agreement to your majesty!" Li Yuehua put down the agreement courteously. Although he saw the abnormality, behind this condition was an extremely experienced empire veteran, using himself A strategic trap under a reputation,
This is beyond the range that Li Yuehua can detect. If a fat man sees this agreement, he will know the true meaning of this trap. Gangfei is trading regions for time, and the best result is naturally If the Falcon Empire can erroneously guide the Falcon Empire to invest more manpower and material resources in continuing to expand the navy, such a Congolese Empire can be safe for at least 20 years. The worst result can also express the illusion of no revenge to the new northern hegemon of the Falcon Empire. In this way, Gangfei can also win ten years of peace, and the Falcon Empire will never reject this agreement
"So, thank you so much!"
Gangfei, the imperial messenger Lasifel, nodded and thanked me,
sent away the messengers from the Gangfei Empire. Li Yuehua rubbed his temples with a headache. Governor Salon went to fight in the north, so that the foreign affairs of the Governor's Mansion were all pressed on the shoulders of her, the head of the intelligence department of the southwestern district. Glancing at the diplomatic documents piled up on the desk,
Li Yuehua hesitated, her white hands remained on a document for a long time. The yellow silk and gold satin represent the noble moire corners, which all show that this is a negotiation from the Chinese Empire. Documents! Regarding her motherland, Li Yuehua’s heart is complicated. She has received reports last month that in July, the cavalry of the East Court attacked the Baili Chang Court of the Central Biya Empire. Li Changting fought a decisive battle with the 110,000 East Court cavalry who went south,
The Battle of Bailichang Court lasted for 17 days. The Chinese and Biyarian Empire blocked the horseshoes of the Dongting people in Bailichang Court, and severely damaged more than 70,000 Dongting cavalrymen. Ten thousand people died in the battle and millions of refugees. The Chinese Empire urgently needs assistance from the iron ore. The Falcon Empire marched to the vicinity of Gaul Kyoto. The journey from Gaul Kyoto to the Chinese Empire will take 20 days. If an agreement can be reached, the Chinese Empire will be in One month later, a solid iron ore trade line will be obtained, so as to obtain the opportunity to continue fighting
Li Yuehua’s hesitation lies in this. She believes that as long as this negotiation document is suppressed, yes, as long as the forgotten "accident" is pretended to be a deadly battle, the Central Biya Empire will be in a desperate situation, although for some people in that country Contains hatred, but when it comes to the survival of the entire ethnic group, a cold and ruthless woman like Li Yuehua also hesitated. The voices of those tragic deaths rolled in her mind. Negotiation documents are inserted into other documents.
"I'm sorry! I still can't do a thorough hatred!"
Li Yuehua closed her eyes, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks, took a deep breath, and said to the guard outside the door, "Come on, immediately submit these important documents to the Emperor!" The guard took the documents away. Li Yuehua's expression turned pale in an instant, she sat weakly on the chair, her eyes showed a hint of gray,
In a manor on the outskirts of the southwestern capital, the fat man is reviewing the latest documents. The sunny golden light outside the window shines through the delicate window grilles. The war to enter the Gaul Kyoto is completely unimpeded. There is no need for it. He, the emperor personally directs,
After handing over the command to Hu Keqili and Salon, the fat man quietly returned to the southwest area. The battle of Daniel lasted for a month, and too many documents have been accumulated. As an emperor, he needs to sit in the southwest area himself. The base camp and a large number of matters related to foreign affairs also need him to decide. Moreover, the returning steppe tribe cavalry made a request to return to China. This time, the prairie cavalry’s harvest is staggering. They burned, killed, looted and looted the prosperous areas of Gaul. Under the guidance of two "guides", they were ruthless. After sweeping the Kyoto area of the Gaul people, and returning with a full load, it completely destroyed the productivity of the Gaul Kyoto, and then discovered a big problem. All the tribes delayed the return journey more or less. The original fifteen days King Khan’s order was not returned until the 23rd,
Fatty scolded this group of unruly guys with a "fat belly and oily" expression with an annoyed look. It wasn't until this group of guys annoyed to pay half of the income that they finally showed forgiveness, although only half. But the patriarchs of the grassland are very kind to King Khan,
For the prairie buns who have never seen these rare treasures in their lives, they know that the looted property is very valuable, but it is impossible to estimate how much it is worth. At first, someone took an egg-sized emerald to the market and sold it. They were deceived by the trespassers with a hundred gold coins. The angry grassland patriarchs drew their knives and wanted to kill people. In the end, King Khan came out to be a good man.
The large-scale auction held in the capital of the Southwestern District in the name of the Governor’s Mansion of the Southwestern District lasted for eight consecutive days. Although 5% of the handling fee was removed according to the rules, the patriarchs of the grassland really made a big deal this time. Fortune, the more sold for several million, and the few also had the joy of returning home with 700,000 to 800,000. Some patriarchs lay on the pile of gold coins all night, but after a few days, the patriarchs became worried. The prairie people only had money. Money is spent when it is spent. For people on the prairie, money cannot be used as food or clothing. Only by replacing it with food, winter supplies, increasing the population of the tribe, and increasing the number of fighters can it be wealth, but This is not the empire itself. No matter how much material you buy, it’s useless to transport it back. The Imperial Navy doesn’t have so many transport ships to carry these things for free.
"They are all your people, Your Majesty Khan won’t just sit back and watch!" The patriarchs found the fat man and asked Khan’s mercy to continue to spread the grassland
Fatty can only find officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and ask these officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Southwest to give these grassland chiefs one-to-one treatment, and Fatty asks the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs to provide preferential prices for grain and cotton to the chiefs of the grassland. , Iron ore, daily necessities, and luxury goods. After the negotiation, the letter was sent back to the empire. Prepared there in advance, the patriarchs left happily, but their money does not need to be transported away. Each of them has an internal affairs staff responsible for it. Dispatch with the team,
This is a huge consumption drive. The grassland patriarchs earn a lot of money, the empire earns a lot of money, the business of the entire empire earns a lot of money, and the only crying In the Gaul Kyoto of the family, this craze of using war wealth to promote huge consumption within the empire has lasted for five years.
In the pile of foreign affairs documents sent, the fat man first saw the documents submitted by Gang Fei Empire, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and signed on it without any hesitation. Gang Fei didn’t even know that he defeated Gang Fei in the Imperial Navy. Soon after the non-Imperial Navy, Fatty had already made the decision to adjust the navy,
The size of the navy has changed from the explosive growth in the past few years to a stable change. The combat goal of the Imperial Navy has also been prepared from the beginning with the goal of defeating an empire-level opponent, and transformed into holding the existing sea area~IndoMTL.com~ and then to the inland sea Strategic adjustment of regional expansion,
The trap of just being inhuman is not very useful to the empire. Instead, it has thrown out Dordan, a piece of fat that the fat man has coveted for a long time. Then he read some negotiating documents from Central European and Baro countries, which was of little significance. Most of them are requirements such as opening up mutual trade, stationing embassies, etc.
It can be seen that these Central European countries are deeply wary of the newly emerging Falcon Empire, because when these countries submitted their diplomatic agreements, they did not mention that they were standing in this war. One side of the Falcon Empire or the other side of the Gaul Empire,
According to the empire’s intelligence line in Gaul, the fat man knew very well that some countries had very close ties with Gaul, and Gaul Kyoto could continuously equip new troops in a desperate situation. It’s not unimportant to provide weapons at a price,
"The Falcon Empire doesn’t need to be a fence!" Fatty commented on these countries that wanted to stand on both sides. The agreements of these countries required to be beaten back. In the position of the twenty-third foreign affairs document, Fatty saw After the negotiation request of the China-Biyadh empire, his eyes became a little solemn.
What does that woman Li Yuehua mean? Fatty stood up with frowning eyebrows. From a strategic point of view, Fatty hoped that the Dongting people and the Zhongbian people would continue to fight to death and death, so that when the Gaul Empire fell, he did not need to face a powerful neighbor directly.
