It is precisely because the Mawen Islands stretch for hundreds of miles, with hundreds of islands of varying sizes, and the indigenous residents on the islands have nothing to do with any other country or nation on the mainland, that the sovereignty of the Mawen Islands is limited. There has always been controversy, but this controversy has only stayed in the theoretical circles of various countries and has not been substantive. In fact, it has always been nominally owned by the southern coastal countries of the Nanyang Alliance, and Western Xinjiang took advantage of the last war and the addition of the Nanyang Alliance. The Mawen Islands, which originally did not attach much importance to their psychology, succeeded in gaining sovereignty over the three islands. Now that Wang Jiexiu has so solemnly raised the issue of the sovereignty of the Mawen Islands, the hidden meaning behind it is naturally an attempt to carve up the Mawen Islands, and let the three countries participate as members. How can this not make the three of them stunned? Are you excited
However, the three of them are not fools. The last time Xijiang gained sovereignty over the three islands, it was based on winning the war. But this time, they want to carve up the Mawen Islands in a whimsical way. What is the reason? It's not easy just to find reasons to intervene. You can't just use it as an excuse to go to war just because the theoretical circles of various countries are clamoring for the Three Kingdoms, right
Seeing the confusion of the three people after the surprise, Wang Jiexiu knew that the three people were already interested, but it was not easy to convince the three people of the feasibility of his plan.
"My lords, I do not propose this idea out of thin air, but for good reasons. According to the information we have, the relationship between the Nanyang Alliance immigrants and the local indigenous residents is quite tense on several islands that have been developed by the Nanyang Alliance. Small-scale Armed conflicts continue. Of course, these indigenous residents cannot stop the immigrants from the alliance with the support of Fei State. However, these indigenous residents have been persisting relying on the geographical advantage. It should be said that this kind of conflict has continued on several islands with relatively good natural conditions. , many alliance colonists even adopted brutal methods to treat local indigenous residents, causing many large-scale murders. This consequence directly led to panic among the indigenous residents around these islands, including all undeveloped islands. They went to the Southeast Asia At the same time as the alliance filed the complaint, it also began to look for other ways out." Seeing the eyes of the three people falling on his face, Wang Jiexiu shrugged and spread his hands, "As the sovereign owner of the three islands in the Mawen Archipelago, we have also received complaints from these aborigines. The request requires us in Western Xinjiang to accept their sovereignty and submission, and expresses that they firmly do not recognize the Nanyang Alliance’s sovereignty over these islands where they have lived for generations.”
"This is a troublesome matter. Of course, we in Western Xinjiang will not arbitrarily intervene in such sovereignty disputes. After all, our naval power is still too weak, and we do not want to conflict with our neighbors in the Atlantic Ocean because of this matter. However, cases like this that may even evolve into genocide are indeed shocking and worrying. Humanitarian disasters should not occur in the Atlantic Ocean. Therefore, Xijiang believes that everyone who belongs to the Atlantic Ocean should be held responsible. As long as we take up our responsibilities, we should actively participate in this matter. This is also in our interests." The last words were spoken slightly louder, but the three of them heard them more clearly, "This is a gift from God to us. I think that no matter who the three adults are, they will not let such an opportunity slip away. It is not too late to act now. Of course, the four countries should first make a rough division of the entire Mawen Islands sphere of influence to avoid future conflicts. maintain a consistent position in the negotiations.”
Wang Jiexiu's words once again stirred up ripples in the hearts of the three of them. The three of them also knew that Wang Jiexiu must have sufficient reasons to convince them, and the reason proposed by the other party is indeed a very suitable excuse. The three countries are also very concerned about the Mawen Islands. , especially after Xijiang successfully acquired the sovereignty of the three islands of the Mawen Archipelago, the three countries were itching and unbearable. None of them expected that the Nanyang Alliance would change the sovereignty of the three islands so easily, especially Na Prince Sa Island has a radius of nearly a hundred miles. The island is covered with forests and the land is fertile. It didn't cost Xijiang any money to acquire it (in fact, Wang Liao spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins). This is incredible. Now such an opportunity appears again, and the initiator of the previous incident seems to be equally interested. With the strong military power of Western Xinjiang on land and the military power of the Three Kingdoms on the sea, this dream that was originally unimaginable can become a reality. , if you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you won't be able to rest assured for the rest of your life.
"Lord Jiexiu, do your opinions represent His Highness the King of Qin himself?" Nelson tried his best to calm down his emotions, and then asked solemnly after pretending to drink alcohol to adjust his thoughts. His words actually represent the opinions of the Three Kingdoms. .
"Of course, since Jiexiu has been authorized by His Highness the King of Qin to go to the southeast, he will naturally be given all the power to act expediently. Please rest assured, Mr. Nelson. The alliance between Western Xinjiang and the Three Kingdoms has just been formed. There are still many Westerners in Western Xinjiang who rely on the Three Kingdoms. Of course, Xijiang will also fulfill its responsibilities as an ally within the scope of the covenant." Wang Jiexiu said with emotion, "It's just that the issue of the sovereignty of the Mawen Islands is not appropriate to be publicly disclosed at this time, to prevent the Nanyang Alliance from reconnecting with the Machikhans over this matter. Gathering together, fortunately, I am afraid that you all still have quite a lot of matters to be arranged and carried out soon, and it is not appropriate to make a big noise in a short period of time. Xijiang also hopes that the specific division of the sovereignty of the Mawen Islands will be best waited until half a year later. I believe that by then the war situation in the Central Plains of the Empire should have become clearer, and by then the time is ripe and it will be our harvest season."
The three people naturally understood the meaning of Wang Jiexiu's words. Now raising the issue of sovereignty of the Mawen Islands will undoubtedly force the Nanyang Alliance to board Machi Khan's pirate ship. This is of course something Xijiang does not want to see. The conditions proposed by Xijiang now are to let The Three Kingdoms held back the army of the Machikhans so that they had no time to go west, at least not with all their strength to prevent them from interfering in the internal wars of the Tanghe Empire. This is also the most basic and core requirement of Western Xinjiang. As for the rest, it is just an exchange of interests and Just divide it.
After the banquet was over, Wang Jiexiu couldn't help but want to hum a hometown tune when he saw the three people leaving. Although the Three Kingdoms only agreed to conduct military exercises in the east, it was enough, even if it was only for a short time. By holding back the size of the Machihan people's troop dispatch, his mission this time is considered complete. Now everything depends on the methods of this boy Fujie in Jiujiang. Liu Fujie was not in Jiujiang. When the deputy commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region left Jiujiang for Huzhou, he took Liu Fujie with him. During his stay in Jiujiang for more than a month, there was almost no progress and he was face to face all day long. Even Liu Fujie himself almost lost confidence in the peaceful face of this remnant of peace. Liu Fujie on Situ Biao's side noticed something unusual without spending much energy. The frequent mobilization and training of military forces were clearly preparing for some big move. Liu Fujie did not believe that Situ Biao would help Xijiang launch an attack on Situ Tai, but He also firmly believed that Situ Biao was not yet bold enough to challenge Western Xinjiang directly. The placement of the First Army in Guanxi was enough to make anyone think twice. It was obvious that Situ Biao's goal was Jiujiang and Huzhou, which were stuck in his throat. It seemed that It is necessary to take advantage of this time when all parties have no time to take care of it to launch weapons.
But Xijiang did not want to see this scene, especially before Cheng Dayou officially expressed his position. Liu Fujie hoped that Situ Biao's side could maintain a restrained attitude, but Situ Biao's attitude on this point seemed to be very tough, which made Liu Fujie Jie is a little worried. Letting Cheng Dayou express his attitude as soon as possible seems to be the only option. But can Cheng Dayou express his attitude and stop Situ Biao's military action? Liu Fujie was not sure.
The sparkling waves of Taihu Lake flash with this dazzling golden light. As the sun sets in the west, the sunlight outlines the brilliant clouds that even the most beautiful fish-tooth brocade cannot match. The colorful and unpredictable colors make people feel relaxed and happy. A faint golden light shines on the bow of the boat. He is dressed in a green shirt and has a picture of a stream flowing under a pine tree on a tooth-white folding fan. Liu Fujie silently watched the chess game. After a long time, he weighed the scales and said: "Master Cheng is indeed brilliant. Fujie is ashamed of himself." Fu Ru.”
"Admit it, admit it, brother Fujie is the real master. At this time, he can still chat and lie down, not in a hurry. Doesn't he feel that everything is under control?" The middle-aged man in a gray cloth shirt flashed his eyes and casually put the The remaining chess pieces were thrown into the rattan chess basket, and finally their eyes fell on the horizon and the water in the distance.
"Master Cheng, where do you start talking about this? Fujie has been here for more than two months and has accomplished nothing. However, he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and he has no face to go back to see His Highness the King of Qin. So he has no choice but to smile and eat and drink here shamelessly." Qing Qing The man in the shirt rolled his eyes, trying to figure out what the other person meant. His behavior today seemed to be different from the past. Could it be that the situation in the west has changed
"Brother Fujie is really calm. I have two pieces of news here. I don't know which one Brother Fujie wants to hear first?" The man in gray seemed to be considering something, and then said after a while, "One is good, the other is not. Okay, it’s all up to Brother Fujie’s choice.”
"What is supposed to come will come sooner or later, let alone what has already happened. Who can say clearly whether it is good or bad. However, Fujie has been lingering in Huzhou for more than half a month, and my heart is almost moldy. Please do it. Sir, please tell me about this so-called good news first." The man in green shirt smiled and waved his folding fan and said happily.
"The Western Xinjiang army defeated the Eastern Expeditionary Army in the Western Region, and the Luobi people have withdrawn their troops and returned to the west. Isn't this good news?" While looking at the other party's expression to see if he already knew, he was also thinking about how to end today's conversation. What kind of way to start? The changes in the situation seemed to force me to make a decision immediately. Although deep down in my heart I wanted to observe it for a longer period of time, it seemed that I didn't have this opportunity.
