"Your Majesty, the countries in the Western Continent are not monolithic. After all, in the New Continent, they can gather together to put pressure on the empire, and that is because they agree on certain interests. However, we all know that the forces of the Western Continent are intertwined and intertwined. The relationship between the two sides is complicated, including hundreds of years of old enemies and feuds, as well as royal marriages. Under such circumstances, although the powerful powers in the Western Continent have begun to turn their attention to the New Continent, their fundamental interests still lie in the Western Continent, especially in the Western Continent. The only ones who can shake their foundation are the enemies on the West Main Road, and the New World can at best be regarded as an overseas hunting ground for their interests."
"Some losses in the hunting grounds of interest can be compensated for, but once the foundation is shaken, it may endanger the survival of the country. At this point, the empire has an innate advantage. No country in the Eastern Continent can shake or challenge the absolute authority of the Empire, and in the Central Continent Not to mention, I believe that the empire only needs to selectively select one or two countries to form a strategic alliance on the issue of carving up the New World. This can completely suppress the intentions of the powers in the New World, and the empire can also be confident and bold in the New World. As long as the powers in the Western Continent cannot unite to expand their power, they will not be able to pose a substantial threat to the empire's interests in this land."
Su Qin's words got to the root of the matter. The relationship between the powerful powers in the Western Continent is still essentially mutual hostility and distrust. The conflict of fundamental interests in the Western Continent determines that their cooperation in the New Continent will also be fragile. , as long as they adopt more diplomatic methods, they can completely resolve their alliance, and even win some allies for the empire.
"Well, Brother Su's words make some sense. As long as the powerful powers of the Western Continent can be broken together, one or two countries will not be able to pose a threat to the empire's interests in the New Continent. We can even explicitly propose to expel those unfriendly countries and fight with them. Let's share the benefits of the New World together with our allies." Ling Tianfang nodded in approval.
"Brother Bo, this is my humble opinion. Why don't you express your opinion again." Su Qin smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal Bo Jinchen to express his opinion.
"Well, just now Prime Minister Su has talked about the feasibility of the Empire in the New World from a diplomatic perspective, and I have also talked about the idea from a military perspective. In fact, the areas in the New World that are now controlled and discovered by various countries including the Empire Perhaps there is less than one-tenth of the land, and we have not even set foot on the vast inland and central-southern regions. In other words, the control and influence of various countries in the New World are still quite weak, and the areas expanded by various countries in the New World are also limited. It is still quite vast. I believe that the possibility of a large-scale war due to the competition for power in the New Continent is very small, at least for a long time. The interests of the powers in the New Continent are based on their homeland of the Western Continent, and due to many years of feuds, they have It is almost impossible to turn an enemy into a friend.”
"The empire will not engage in large-scale battles with the enemies in the north and south for the time being. It can just use this opportunity to expand its power to the New World. The Marine Division currently only has one division in the New World. In my opinion, in addition to being able to Except for the three Marine Divisions in the eastern seaboard, the rest of the Marine Divisions can be transferred to the New World. The Army can also send some advance troops into the New World. Sooner or later, the New World will become a hotspot of interest for the Empire. Instead of getting familiar with it later, it is better to do it now. Even if there is some conflict, I think it is worth it. The only thing that needs to be considered is the issue of logistical supplies. The Imperial soldiers are not used to the coarse grains produced in the New World. If the Imperial army enters the New World, they will need to face logistical issues. The pressure is quite heavy, especially since the Sikkim port does not have fixed routes through Mangadishu and Sabana.”
Bo Jinchen laid out his thoughts in one breath. It was obviously unlikely that a large-scale military conflict would occur in the New World due to the issue of sphere of influence. Neither the powers of the Western Continent nor the empire are the masters there. To put it bluntly, they are just a group of conquerors who are similar to bandits. The real masters have little ability to resist against powerful outsiders. When there are still boundless vast lands in the New World waiting for all parties to conquer and explore, Bo Jinchen does not think that any party will be so unwise.
The words of everyone allayed a lot of Wu Feng's worries. Wu Feng was unwilling to let the entanglements in the New World affect his planned war preparation strategy. In his opinion, the New World was important, but he might as well wait until the interests were completely resolved. It would not be too late for the Boyas and Machikhans to come to compete for the New World later, but their ministers obviously do not agree with this view. They prefer to prepare for war on the premise of holding on to the interests of the New World, even if the war is delayed. It's also worth it. Then he thought about the countless wealth and interests that were now beckoning to everyone in the New Continent, and Wu Feng was also a little moved. From the perspective of his eyes, the population density in the New Continent was far less than that of the Raya Continent. The population density in the mainland of the empire had always been quite high. This was Some areas with fertile land are more prominent. Once a natural disaster occurs, it will trigger large-scale migration of refugees and affect the instability of the empire. Wu Feng has always hoped to have a more appropriate solution to this problem.
Now the vast New World has become a natural place for immigrants. The conditions in many areas here are very favorable, and the climate is generally similar to that of the mainland of the empire. Although there are no crops such as rice and wheat due to local customs and customs, but As long as the soil quality is suitable for light and heat, a new granary for the empire can be built here.
The quarrel about this issue at the court meeting the next day still turned the entire court into a pot of boiling water. It was necessary to occupy Dingxiang Island and quickly develop it, and even quickly control the area near Dingxiang Island to see whether it was possible to find a place. Large tracts of land suitable for the growth of other spices were adopted without any objection. The debate mainly focused on the fact that the empire was fully involved in the New World at this time, and that the main force of the Marine Corps and even the army had to enter the New World. This It aroused the concerns of ministers and some military officials. The long distance and stormy sea routes, coupled with the hostility of the powerful powers in the Western Continent, made them worry that the empire might have to trap more power in the New Continent. They It is more inclined to appropriately increase the investment of force, but still maintain restraint in the entry of troops.
However, after His Majesty the Emperor made it clear that he supported the army's entry into the New World, these voices gradually fell silent. The introductions of Su Qin and Bo Jinchen were the main reason. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor had made up his mind and told everyone clearly that there was no need to discuss this matter anymore. .
The entire Sikkim Port has become a giant military port. Three marine divisions have boarded ships here one after another and set sail. After stopping for a rest at Golden Crown Port, they will go through a long sea journey of more than half a month to Mangadishu to prepare for entering the New World. Prepare. Before they left for the New World, imperial officials had officially announced a detailed nautical chart from Sikkim to Mangadishu via Golden Crown Port, and announced that they would provide generous subsidies to shipping companies that opened this fixed route to encourage private shipping companies. Operating this route soon aroused the interest of ship merchants in the southwest region and Nanhai County.
Although this route needs to cross the distant Latin Ocean, if you want to be safe, you can start from Sikkim or Western Samoa, stop at Toungoo Port and Chennai Port in the Peninsula Alliance, and reach the largest port of the West Oran Kingdom in the Latin Ocean. Port Aqaba, and finally stop at Badi Port, an important shipping hub of the Kingdom of Western Oran in the Latin Ocean, and then go south to Mangadishu. Although this route is much longer and takes more than a month, it is It avoids the 20-day long sea journey from Golden Crown Port to Mangadishu. It only takes 12 days to go south from Badi Port to Mangadishu. Compared with traveling from Golden Crown Port to Mangadishu, it is just a short journey. A full week is lost, and in this case, the risk will be much less with every day lost.
Therefore, most shipping companies have chosen this route. Although the route from Golden Crown Port to Mangadishu is subsidized by the Imperial Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce, due to the high risk, there are only a few large shipping companies. Only a few large ships dare to take this route, but the imperial army can only take this route to Mangadishu and Sabana. After all, as many as ten thousand troops have to pass through the Peninsula Alliance and the West Oran Kingdom. port, no country is likely to agree.
Cui Wenxiu squinted his eyes as he read the delivered newspaper. It seemed that the empire was really ready to make some changes. The New World was really a nice place. What was there? Negro or spice? Or gold? No one knows, but now is not the time for me to consider this issue. In front of me is the Hansen Alliance, waiting, still waiting.
Cui Wenxiu found that her ability to endure was getting better and better. If it didn't work for one week, it would be two weeks, and if it didn't work for two weeks, it would be one month. Cui Wenxiu believes that the intelligence agency will bring him good news. The Augsburg Empire will not be willing to accept such an insult, right? Campbell II is a grand duke who is loved by the people of the principality, and is also a strong and stubborn man. The threat of force from the Augsburg Empire may not be able to scare him, but the guys from the Holy Spirit Church may become a variable. This is why Cui Wenxiu hopes that the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Imperial National Security Agency will join forces to take measures to eradicate the cause of this disaster, and hopes that they can give herself a big gift.
