Putting down the communication compass, Casillas frowned into a line. The three-hour six-country summit meeting can be summed up in one sentence: "Spiritually support you!"
Several lords had their own ideas, but they had no intention and were unable to support the Spanish dynasty.
Inside and outside, they are all persuading Casillas to voluntarily give up African territory for the benefit of the organization, shrink the defense line in an all-round way, and stabilize the rear of the European battlefield.
"Take a step back, the sea and the sky are bright!" Caesar said.
Casillas wanted to go crazy on the spot. These guys said it easily, and it was not their interests that were harmed. Maybe someone is still secretly gloating.
Helpless, Casillas could only take the opportunity to ask for some benefits, and asked to directly participate in the division of the Germanic dynasty after the war.
"Otherwise, let's just shoot and break up!" Casillas smashed the jar.
After three hours of wrangling, a new benefit distribution agreement was finally reached.
Even so, Casillas was still very unhappy, watching the Spanish dynasty turn from prosperity to decline, no one feels good, let alone him who has a good face.
Iker Casillas also became more and more unhappy with the "not worthwhile" Jack in his heart.
…
On July 12, the Spanish army abandoned the city of Algiers after a short resistance, and withdrew to the mainland.
In the next ten days, the Great Xia North Africa army was invincible. Not only did they conquer the Algeria region, but they also took back the Morocco region as well, a complete shame.
The entire North Africa was brought under the rule of Daxia.
Not only that, but the other two territories of the Spanish dynasty in Africa, Western Sahara and Mauritania, were also included.
The Spanish dynasty officially withdrew from the African continental stage.
Base Point City, Morocco, and Algeria were planned by Daxia as the province of Algiers, and the provincial capital was located in Algiers, becoming the eighth province under the rule of the African Protectorate.
Wen Tianxiang, the governor of Fengtian County in the former Northern Xinjiang Province, was promoted to Governor of Algiers.
Western Sahara and Mauritania were planned by Daxia as the Sahara Province, and the provincial capital was located in Nouakchott.
Baili Nanfeng, the former governor of Tingzhou in southern Fujian Province, was promoted to governor of the Sahara.
So far, Great Xia's expansion in the African continent has come to an end for the time being. From offense to defense, manage the existing territory well, and don't think about other parts of West Africa and Central Africa for the time being.
In less than four months, from receiving the Egyptian dynasty to conquering the Spanish dynasty's territory in Africa, the area under the jurisdiction of the African Protectorate more than doubled.
If you don't digest it well, big things will happen.
Ouyang Shuo didn't want to eat like a big fat man.
…
In a blink of an eye, time entered August.
The biggest impact of the Spanish dynasty's retreat to the mainland was that the Egyptian army became more proactive in attacking Spain.
With the backing of Bactria, the logistics supply problem of the Egyptian army was completely solved.
Relying on Base Point City, Morocco, and Atlantis City to form an iron triangle, Great Xia completely controls the lifeline of the Mediterranean Sea—the Strait of Gibraltar.
The three major allied fleets of the Allied Forces, not to mention interfering with Daxia's supply transport, whether they can enter the Atlantic depends on Daxia's face.
The Mediterranean route is completely in the hands of Da Xia.
To the Silver Hand's relief, on the day the province of Algiers was established, Daxia issued a brief announcement reaffirming its support for global free trade.
In other words, Daxia will not rely on the Strait of Gibraltar to interfere with merchant ships along the way.
Ships traveling to and from the Mediterranean Sea, whether they belong to the Bactria, the Blue Badge camp, or even the Silver Hand camp, can freely shuttle through the Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar.
The Mediterranean sea route will only become more open and safer than before.
When Ouyang Shuo did this, he still adhered to the concept of win-win, and he didn't want to make things go wrong, and he jumped the wall in a hurry.
The Mediterranean shipping route is the sea artery of the Asia, Europe and Africa continents, and it is not only related to the interests of the dynasties along the Mediterranean Sea, Bactria, Tianzhu, Persia, and Arabia are all implicated by this.
Even the Gundor, Germanic, Romanov, and Dawson dynasties had merchant ships plying the Mediterranean.
If Da Xia really ran amok and monopolized the Mediterranean, he would become the target of public criticism.
Wouldn't that give the Azure Badge and the Silver Hand the best reason to unite again and fight against Great Xia? Ouyang Shuo would not be so stupid.
Moreover, Daxia is also the biggest beneficiary of the open air route.
Thinking a little further, if Daxia wants to be promoted to an imperial dynasty in the future, the third condition is to "obtain the recognition of the global dynasty". If he wants to become a global hegemon, he must first assume global responsibilities.
In history, the United States quickly rose to become a global hegemon after the end of World War II, playing the role of "global policeman". It is very important that the United States has assumed many international responsibilities.
This cannot be denied.
I do not know how many countries or international organizations in the world have received assistance from the United States.
Although this aid is not free, and some even have ulterior motives, in fact, it has promoted the reconstruction of countries after the war and confirmed the new post-war order.
This is also indelible.
In the later stage, the United States has internal problems and is no longer willing to assume global responsibilities. While engaging in isolationism, it also loses its status as a global hegemon.
This is very realistic.
Rights and responsibilities are often two sides of the same coin.
Taking history as a mirror, Ouyang Shuo took the United States at that time as a learning object, so of course he must not be confused. Blocking the Mediterranean Sea at this time would be such an outrageous thing.
On the contrary, Ouyang Shuo is taking this opportunity to vigorously promote global free trade.
Even if it was the Panama Canal that was just built, Ouyang Shuo was not going to interfere with the free passage of the Dawson Dynasty caravan, as long as he accepted the routine inspection of Daxia and paid the customs clearance fee.
This can be regarded as a hidden penetration.
In this way, while allowing Great Xia to develop, it can also draw closer to other dynasties to a certain extent, laying the foundation for breaking the two major organizations in the future.
Otherwise, why would people abandon their original organization? !
…
Another reason why the Egyptian army suddenly strengthened their offensive was that Ouyang Shuo had set a deadline.
At the beginning, when Zhanlan Badge signed an agreement with Daxia to cede the Egyptian dynasty, it was stated that Daxia would be responsible for the logistics of the Egyptian army, but there was a time limit.
It cannot be said that the Egyptian army has been making no achievements on the front line, and Daxia will be responsible to the end.
Then it would be a big loss.
The logistics of the 500,000 Egyptian army can empty out the family property of the African Protectorate.
The deadline given by Ouyang Shuo is the end of Gaia's eighth year.
If Gaia's eight years are over and the two sides are still in such a stalemate, then I'm sorry, the Egyptian army can only fend for itself.
It is already August, and winter is about to begin.
Although the Spanish dynasty was influenced by the Mediterranean Sea and belonged to the temperate zone, and the winter was not cold, it still had to be affected a little. At least, it was not so easy to raise food and grass.
Therefore, the time left for the Egyptian army is running out, and they must achieve decisive results in the Spanish battlefield before the end of Gaia's eight years.
This is easier said than done.
The fully contracted Spanish dynasty has gathered nearly 320,000 troops in its native land, and because of its convenient location, it does not encourage the Egyptian army at all.
The two sides can only be regarded as evenly matched.
The variable, even outside the battlefield, depends on how the azure badge works.
