"Well, the three provinces of Kerman, Huro and Destin are our respective baselines. Naturally, there is no need to consider it. What needs to be bargained now is the three provinces of Farhan, Maina and Dexin, of which Maina is the center. For As far as the Hansen Alliance controls Maina, they have ensured their right to speak in the Indian District, and it will be difficult for them to give in. But for us, taking Maina means that West India will no longer have I am worried that no matter whether it is Farhan or Dexin, which province is controlled by the Hansen Alliance, it will hardly pose a threat to us. It is estimated that we will not be able to reach an agreement on this point."
Cui Wenxiu also had a headache. The Hansen Alliance had already shown that they were strong enough to fight, and the restlessness of the Luzon people forced him to free up his hands to deal with the problem in the south. Judging from the information obtained, the Hansen Alliance is currently within their acceptance range for the war in De'an, Western India. However, the loss of two regiments of the Principality of Hanover has also caused a strong reaction from the Principality of Hanover. Cui Wenxiu is not reckless. He knows the status of the Duchy of Hanover in the Hansen Alliance. Once one of the three giants pushes the other party too hard, the other party will forcefully promote a large-scale increase of troops within the alliance.
The plan is very unfavorable for our side, but it is also unacceptable for our side to hand over the Maina Province and Blue Castle to the control of the Hansen Alliance, which means that Datang failed to pay a huge price for this battle. Get enough rewards, both for the empire and for your own future strategies.
That said, they are all quite disadvantageous.
"General, don't worry too much. I think we are trying to figure out the thoughts of Hansen's allies, and they will also think about our feelings. The importance of Mana Land is the same for both parties. If it cannot be replaced with other benefits, Maybe sharing is a good choice." Pauling suggested with a smile.
"Oh? Sharing? Well, this is a new term. Tell me, what is the sharing method?" Cui Wenxiu narrowed his eyes and stared at his former subordinate. Maybe the path he set for him was really more suitable for him. At least in terms of thinking, this guy has been far behind his colleagues, of course, only in terms of government affairs and diplomacy.
"We can reach a ceasefire agreement with the Hansen Alliance. Outside of our respective baselines, Fahan and Dexin Provinces each choose one. Maina Province, including Rambao City, is jointly controlled by both of us. Within Maina Province and We can each station the same number of necessary troops in Blue Castle City to maintain balance, and set up observers to supervise each other. This not only meets their requirements, but also eliminates our wariness. It should be said that it is acceptable to both parties. Of course, we also have to put forward some additional requirements. For example, Holy Spirit Religion and Niye Religion should enjoy equal freedom of preaching in this region. Neither party is allowed to use any force to suppress and restrict freedom of religious belief. This can also make the religious conflicts in this region unable to be eliminated, but can be controlled to a certain extent. Within the scope, Commander, don’t you think it is difficult for an area under the control of a single Niyeh Sect or Holy Spirit Sect to be managed according to our intentions
Is it easy? Therefore, it should be in our best interest to find a belief system that restrains and restricts each other. After all, we are still outsiders here. Well, because I personally think that if our main target in the next stage is the Luzon people, I am afraid it will be necessary to maintain peace with the Hansen Alliance for a period of time. This kind of compromise can not only satisfy the appetite of the alliance's forces that are less interested in the East, but also prevent the eastern invaders headed by Hanover from starting a war at will. "
Pauling's words finally made Cui Wenxiu realize that he was about to lose this subordinate. These words were enough to prove that Pauling was becoming more mature politically and more skillful in handling government affairs. If Pauling could be made After being immersed in the local area for a period of time, maybe this guy's destiny is more ambitious than he originally imagined.
I saw that the coach's eyes seemed to contain admiration and regret, but of course he was more appreciative. Pauling was able to understand the inner thoughts of his old boss. This shows that the coach is sincerely planning for his future, and Pauling is also a little moved. Being able to work under such a boss will make him feel much happier, but everyone has his own path, and it is impossible to stay under someone's wings all his life. Next, Pauling naturally understood this truth.
With a slight sigh, Cui Wenxiu looked elsewhere to hide his feelings. After a long time, he said: "Pauling, let's negotiate this time according to your intentions. I will leave this matter to you. The bottom line is to obtain the provinces of Fahan and Dexin while co-administering the province of Maina." I wonder which province you think we should fight for is more suitable?"
"It depends on which angle you look at the problem. From a purely military perspective, we naturally strive to control the Dexin Province. The southeastern part of the Dexin Province has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Mish and Hyderabad Departments, which is a threat to our defense. The situation poses a great threat, and we control the Dexin Province, which will prevent future troubles, and in turn threaten the military presence of the Hansen Alliance in the Destin region. But the Fahan Province is equally important, and once we come to Kerman Although the province is under our control, as far as I know, there are very few areas in the coastal area of Kerman Province that can be built into good ports. In contrast, there are one or two locations in Fahan that are more suitable for building into important ports. This is important for In the future, it will be very important for the economic development of the Indian region and the opening up of maritime trade routes, and controlling Fahan will also directly border the Hansen Alliance's home territory, which will also be more convenient for our subsequent strategic deployment."
Cui Wenxiu nodded. It should be said that Fahan and Dexin each have their own advantages. From a military perspective, Dexin is more important, but from an economic development perspective, Fahan is undoubtedly more critical.
"Well, let's get to know each other's details first. It would be better if we can get two provinces. No, let's fight for the Dexin Province. At least this way, we can deal with the Luzon people with all our strength without having too many worries in the future." Choi Wenxiu sets the tone.
"But have you considered, Commander-in-Chief? Many nomadic tribes in Fahan Province have accepted our appeasement. If we make peace with the Hansen Alliance and then abandon Fahan Province, it may bring considerable sequelae to us. It has caused considerable damage to credibility. Their current leader, the head of the Zahudin family, has arrived in Kerman City. I hope you can take the time to give him an interview. They are more interested in us stabilizing the situation in Kerman and even Farhan as soon as possible." Pauling Remind the other person.
"Oh, I have somewhat ignored this issue, but if we give up Dexin, we will have to station more troops in the Mish-controlled areas and Huluo Province." Cui Wenxiu weighed the weight, "But in the long run Look, maybe we have to do this for the time being. Anyway, let's talk about this matter according to your ideas. I think our battle with the Hansen Alliance and the Luzon people on this land may have just begun. Maybe this is what you want. This is a rare performance stage, you can use it at your own discretion."
The sea breeze blows in the face with a salty smell. Walking on the fine sand as white as snow on the beach, the indescribable sinking feeling makes Cui Wenxiu quite fresh. Looking up into the distance, the light blue sea looks empty and lonely. , Albatross and gulls circled in the sky from time to time, and a peaceful and leisurely atmosphere seemed to envelope the entire beach.
After leaving the negotiation with Hansen Alliance to Pauling, Cui Wenxiu went straight to the Baltic Sea coast at the extreme western end of the march. This was the first time that the empire advanced its control and influence to what has always been regarded as the inland sea of the Central and Western Continent. area, no matter how you say it, this fact will make yourself one of the emperors
Although Cui Wenxiu is used to the ups and downs of the country, he can't help but feel a little excited.
The Baltic Sea and the Aegean Sea are like two gourd balls of a gourd, one north and one south, stretching between the Central Continent and the Western Continent, while the Marmara Island Chain is like a thin ribbon tied to the gourd, scattered irregularly between the two. At the junction of gourd balls, hundreds of islands of different sizes are scattered throughout. The famous city of Constantine is located on the largest island of Crete, and the pirates who roam this sea area rely on their natural advantages. The naval fleets of various countries in the two sea areas are helpless. Of course, there are special reasons why these pirates are so rampant.
However, all this seems to have nothing to do with the Indians. Although the Indians have a coastline on the Baltic Sea that does not count, the Indians seem to be a land people by nature and have little interest in the ocean. Their values are average on the sea line. Straight, there are not many valuable harbors, and the bandits in the coastal desert areas along the coast are also extremely arrogant, cutting off trade routes, so there is almost no decent port city on the entire coastline. Many goods produced in the mainland have to be transported to the western continent, or else They can only transit through the Hansen Alliance, or they can only go to sea from the ports in the Principality of Maili. This strange phenomenon is indeed a bit incomprehensible, but it is a fact.
Cui Wenxiu's eyes gradually turned from the west to the south. To the south were the Nishizawa and Leibo provinces under the control of the Luzon people. The Volga River suddenly changed its course from the border between Kerman and Nishizawa to the south, crossing Nishizawa. The province enters the territory of Leibo, and finally flows into the Baltic Sea in Leibo. The good transportation conditions of the Volga River do not seem to have been taken advantage of by the Indians. Except for the lower reaches of Nizawa Province and the estuary, there are almost no river ports in the middle and upper reaches. . Sometimes it is really difficult to understand what the Indians think. No one is willing to take advantage of such good conditions. Look at the Indians.
Cui Wenxiu also found it strange that in such a prosperous land there were so many poor people who could not afford food or clothing.
