Although it was confirmed that His Royal Highness the King of Chu would succeed the Emperor, the remaining affairs were an extremely complicated tightrope walk for the specific negotiators of all parties. For the benefit of all parties, various negotiations were necessary, and there were quarrels and abuses. Mixed with threats and intimidation, the final compromise is inevitable. No one has thought about how long the current emperor can last, and how long this situation can last.
The battle for control of Quanzhou Prefecture has become a focus. Situ Tai naturally hopes to win this area, which is related to the issue of the lease of the Northern Pearl Islands. Although the folk literature now strongly criticizes him for betraying the coastal islands, he has already He was not an emperor, so he could naturally push aside matters that were within the imperial jurisdiction. However, he was unwilling to make any concessions regarding the ownership of Quanzhou Prefecture; and for Situ Biao, the importance of Quanzhou Prefecture was It's too big. With Quanzhou Prefecture, the entire area under its control will have an outlet to the sea. Various products from the entire Five Lakes area and even Jinhua Prefecture can be continuously transported through Quanzhou without passing through other areas. Seeing Li Wufeng Through the war in the Peninsula Alliance, he seized the outlet of the Atlantic Ocean. He was so jealous that he had made it clear that Quanzhou must be under his control, and the remaining naval fleet also belonged to him. The conflict between the two sides on this issue seemed to have become an irresolvable issue. dead knot.
The issue of control of the two counties of Heshuo and Beiyuan is also a focus of debate. According to custom, when the threat of foreign enemies has disappeared, the two counties, which are not directly under the central government of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate, should be returned to the central government, but Li Wufeng proposed. The situation in these two counties is not stable. In particular, the North Plains may face the invasion of the Kaman and Puer people at any time, while the Heshuo Land is still rampant due to the remnants of Taiqing. In order to ensure the stability of the two places. Therefore, it is required that these two places be temporarily managed by the Western Xinjiang Protectorate for three to five years, and then be handed over to the central government of the empire after the local situation has completely calmed down. This proposal was strongly opposed by the imperial aristocracy and conservative forces. They believed that Li Wufeng was taking advantage of the threat of war to expand his sphere of influence, and insisted on taking back the administrative jurisdiction of these two counties. The two sides had several disagreements over this. broke up and could never reach a consensus.
The issue of garrisoning troops in the Imperial City is even more difficult to solve. After Situ Tai made it clear that the First Division of the First Army could be stationed in the Imperial City to help defend the Imperial City, Situ Biao also made it clear that the Sixth Army would send an elite division to help the imperial capital. The guards guarded the south gate. In this way, the two men's tit-for-tat actions became more obvious. It is not surprising that His Highness the King of Qin euphemistically proposed that the First Division of his Fifth Army should be stationed at the west gate of the imperial capital. All parties seemed to have particularly unified opinions on this garrison issue. In order to safeguard the security of the imperial capital and ensure that the people of the imperial capital live and work in peace and contentment, slogans such as this have become the best fig leaf.
On the contrary, the imperial family's noble family is not so firm on this issue. After all, no matter which army controls the imperial capital, it will at least cause substantial harm to their personal safety. His Majesty, the emperor who is about to ascend the throne, sees that he cannot resist on this issue. , simply agreed, and agreed that the three parties would each assist in defending the north, east, and south gates. Except for the east gate, which was also controlled by the Imperial Guards. For the three parties, the imperial capital has become an undefended city.
Although the disputes over the control of Quanzhou Prefecture and the administrative jurisdiction of Heshuo Beiyuan are still fierce, it can be clearly felt that the original tense atmosphere in the imperial capital has been greatly alleviated. For Situ Tai, although this ending is a bit disturbing People were disappointed, but the internal affairs department of the imperial capital faithfully performed its news supervision duties, so that the inside story about Situ Tai’s betrayal of sovereignty and collusion with the Doton Japanese did not cause much turmoil. Except for some mainstream tabloids, which were still lingering on, To have such an ending is quite satisfactory. Everyone seemed to feel that He Qing had arrived, and the fact that the three kings could jointly elect His Royal Highness King Chu to take over as emperor seemed to mean that the three parties could live in harmony. At least on the surface it can give people such comfort.
The nightlife of the upper class in the imperial capital began to become rich again. The drinking parties and dances that had been greatly reduced by the almost suffocating atmosphere of the previous week suddenly broke out again. The big shots received several invitations to cocktail parties and dances almost every day. Negotiations continue and it seems essential to enjoy a wonderful life without losing sight of both.
While enjoying the massage of the beautiful woman behind him on his shoulders, his eyes were scanning the information sent by the intelligence department. Wufeng felt relatively relaxed at this time, and a large stack of invitations was thrown messily on the desk. , he was not in the mood to check yet. At the moment, Su Tai and Wang Liao were still quarreling with Imperial Vice Minister of Administration Qiao Song and Interior Minister Sidon over the nominal issue of administrative jurisdiction over Heshuo and Beiyuan. However, this was already It wasn't something Wu Feng cared about anymore, he was more concerned about Situ Tai's next move.
The Duodun Guards Regiment has entered the Cangzhou area, but the two army divisions originally stationed in Cangzhou have officially entered Yunzhong. It seems that Situ Tai is not slow in his actions, although information from the Military Affairs Administration states that the military The generals reacted strongly and asked to send troops to intervene. However, at this time, if he and Situ Tai were to break up because of this land in the clouds, the time seemed not mature enough. The words "be at ease and don't be impatient" were lightly thrown in the reply. Wu Feng could even imagine Ling Tianzai's frown when he received this reply. The military's current impetuous mood has even affected Ling Tianfang, who is always known for his calmness and calmness. This can be seen from the message sent by Ling Tianfang.
It was necessary to wait. Wu Feng wanted to observe how Situ Tai, who had lost the throne, faced the pressure from the Duoduns and the Japanese to fulfill their promises. With such unclear prevarication, the Duoduns and the Japanese would definitely not I will agree. Neither of these two parties is a charity. If the bait swallowed by you, Situ Tai, cannot have a satisfactory harvest, I am afraid that even they themselves will not be able to explain it internally. As for what Situ Tai would do if he was pressed too hard, Wu Feng was also looking forward to it. He was looking forward to the other party giving him an excuse.
"Ajie, what's going on over there in Northern Luzon?" The woman behind her held her so comfortably that she almost hummed. She gently raised her body and head, leaned into the other's bulging breasts, and sniffed the smell coming from behind her. There was a delicate fragrance. The fragrance on Su Jie came from rosemary from the Western Continent. This rich and mellow fragrance made Wu Feng quite fond of it. Perhaps because he was aware of his lover's special hobby for this kind of fragrance, Su Jie deliberately put it on her body. A little extravagant, in this kind of environment where two people are alone, they can show their charming charm.
"The Second Army has completed its emergency assembly, and the Indian Army has also shrunk and moved closer to the double pile. The Luzon people are still mobilizing for war, and the Komini people have also begun mobilization. The latest intelligence shows that half A few months ago, the Free Dominion provided an interest-free loan of 40 million Andean crowns to Luzon and Comini each, totaling 80 million Andean crowns, which is equivalent to about 20 million imperial gold coins. It was provided by the largest bank in the Andes region. The Andean Dynasty Bank completed the transaction, and Military Intelligence analysis showed that Catherine succumbed to pressure from both parties and began to provide financial assistance to both parties, which also means that Liberty City will provide financial support for the two countries to launch a war." Sidelined Wu Feng massaged while recalling the contents of her mind. Su Jie was quite confident in her memory. Although her importance was weakened due to the appearance of Lin Yuexin, Lin Yuexin was more involved in strategic aspects. Analysis and suggestions, she does not seem to have much interest in intelligence matters.
"Well, it seems that Frederick has made up his mind to have a head-on battle with us." He rubbed his forehead thoughtfully. If it were just the Luzon and Comini people, the Second Army would Even if they cannot win against the Indian Army, they can at least drag it out according to their own ideas. With the financial situation of the Luzon and the Comini people, this kind of protracted and territorial war will soon allow them to merge. The insufficient finances are on the verge of bankruptcy, but now the Free Dominion has also intervened. It seems that the special envoy sent to Liberty City by the Foreign Affairs Office has not had much effect. Catherine, a woman, could not resist the pressure from both parties and participated. In this way The pressure in Northern Luzon is considerable. If troops are not mobilized from the Eastern Continent, Wu Feng does not have much confidence that the 200,000-strong army will fight against the opponent's coalition forces.
In fact, even Northwest County itself does not have many troops stationed there. In such a huge area, the army that originally seemed to be quite small seemed to be stationed in the east and west, and there was nothing left. Mobile troops, is it a problem with our own military system or is it really a shortage of troops? But now is not the time to consider this issue. Now that I have established a foothold in the Imperial Capital, it is impossible for me to withdraw from the Imperial Capital. Once I leave the Imperial Capital, it will be extremely difficult to return. But Northern Luzon cannot be ignored. A stalemate is an acceptable outcome, but the disparity in power is too great. It would be easy to drag it on. The weather is starting to get hotter. Even if Luo Bei on the Tengger Grassland can be ignored, Despite the human threat, the two Ranger regiments were unable to adapt to the hot climate of Northern Luzon. Wu Feng couldn't help but sigh. It was better to be from Gaoyue. He could withstand cold and heat. He could be dragged into any battlefield. He was really a born warrior. But it seemed too late to regret this now.
