Chapter 1870: Gifts? Chips!
On the side of the Golden Triangle, when the battle between the four countries was in full swing, Xu Xiangtian had already captured one of the cities within a week.
At this time, in the other three cities, Xu Xiangtian had no intention of making a move.
Because of these four cities, two of them are cities near the sea. There is one, which is just over 100 nautical miles away from the Strait of Malacca.
If you can develop this place better, it's all trivial.
However, the two cities in such a good location are not under the direct jurisdiction of Suke. Both of these cities were fiefs of the two noble members of the Dora Kingdom.
The sum of the number of queens in their families accounted for one-third of all queens in the two or three hundred years of the history of the kingdom of Dora. So these two cities are their territory.
And the first city that Xu Xiangtian attacked was not the deterioration of the people in these two cities, but the city that frequently approached one of them.
Although it is also considered to be a city in the country of Dora, it is not too bad, but compared to the two cities that are frequently near the sea, it is still a little worse after all.
However, in this case, the power of the former city lord in the city is not too great.
Of the 20,000 subordinates, although nearly half of them are surrendered, it can still be done as a vanguard to charge.
After defeating the first city, Xu Xiangtian stopped, as if he had given up the intention of continuing the war. But then, a decision he announced made Yang Xiaotian, who was originally in the laboratory arranged for him by Xu Xiangtian and concentrating on experiments, immediately come out of the laboratory, and then came to the City Lord's Mansion to ask Xu Xiangtian.
"Uncle Xu, why did you think of doing this?"
"Sooke, that guy, you don't mean well. Xu Xiangtian shook his head and said. "The lord of Kuye City is Su Ke's cousin, and his men have six thousand men. Compared with the 2,000 men of Mona, with the help of the fortifications of the city. If you want to attack it, it's not as easy as three times. Xu Xiangtian shook his head and said. "My 20,000 people are all people who have come down from the battlefield, and if you give it a period of time, you can train it into a group of elite soldiers. And now, some of them are not very loyal to me because they are surrendered soldiers. What's more, their morale is low and they don't feel a sense of belonging. I can't use all these good seedlings now. ”
"So, you decided to treat Ku Coconut City as a gift to Hua Guo?" Yang Xiaotian's face was gloomy and uncertain.
At the beginning, he asked Xu Xiangtian to give the land to Su Ke, because of the attitude of the Chinese government, especially the attitude towards Afreqi, which made Yang Xiaotian very dissatisfied.
If possible, he only wants Avrezi back. At the press conference on the succession of Avrezi to the king. In just one year, the clever boy who was so clever that he could even see the sparkle in his eyes had now become a lifeless wooden man without the slightest childlike appearance.
Regarding Avrezi's current performance, Yang Xiaotian can't wait to go to Fu Laiwen for a duel immediately!
Although he knew that it was actually the one at the top who actually conveyed the order.
Avrezi's treatment made Yang Xiaotian almost lose his mind.
Therefore, for Huaguo, no matter how much Wang Qinhan, Wang Luonan and Fu Lao took turns to persuade him, they could not persuade Yang Xiaotian to change the decision in his heart.
At this time, when he heard that Xu Xiangtian decided to take Ku Coconut City as a gift and give it to Huaguo, Yang Xiaotian only felt that when he first heard this, he felt that something in his heart had collapsed.
"Xiaotian, don't you think that this gift of mine was given out for nothing, right?" Xu Xiangtian saw that Yang Xiaotian's face had always been gloomy, but he was not angry, but looked at Yang Xiaotian with a playful smile.
"Oh?" Yang Xiaotian naturally knew that Xu Xiangtian, a person who did not allow others to take advantage of him, would not easily spit out what he had in his hands.
It's like the territory he occupies in the Golden Triangle, if he continues to occupy it. With his status as an outsider, as long as someone with a little prestige raised his arms, it was enough to make many people follow them to rebel against Xu Xiangtian.
So although the Golden Triangle is good, it is not Xu Xiangtian's best destination.
And now these four cities in exchange, although they still have to fight by themselves, they can be regarded as their own. But at least there is nothing to worry about here, at least not for a short time, the rebellion of the populace.
Because these four cities were announced by Su Ke in public, they were used to reward Xu Xiangtian.
So on the bright side, 70,000 square kilometers (the area of territory actually controlled by Xu Xiangtian) is less than 30,000 square kilometers in exchange, and it seems that Xu Xiangtian has suffered a loss.
But with 70,000 square kilometers of territory that is completely impossible to stabilize and control, in exchange for a territory that you can stabilize and control with a little effort, or the latter is more reliable.
You don't see, now because the Dora Kingdom occupies the most territory, the other two countries have begun to clamore for the Dora Kingdom to spit out the territory again, and then redivide it.
And Huaguo naturally did not participate in it, because it was not particularly peaceful here. Even if it is Luo'an City, if it weren't for Yang Xiaotian's continuous design, the gang forces in the entire Yun Province, although in terms of power, may not be as big as the fishing port, which can be called one of the hometowns of gangs in China, but in terms of the complexity of the intricate strength, the gang forces in Yun Province are actually not much worse than the fishing port.
And the Golden Triangle, further south, has not lived under the rule of China for a hundred years. The sense of belonging to China is not particularly strong.
Now as soon as possible, the people on the territory that have just arrived will be naturalized into Chinese people as soon as possible, so that they also think that being a Chinese is a very worthy of showing off.
This is the first thing to do.
It's just that now Xu Xiangtian suddenly proposed to use a city, and it is also a city near the sea, as a gift. To be honest, Huaguo, who didn't have much luxury in expanding his territory, was also confused at the beginning after hearing Xu Xiangtian's decision.
It's just that this is not a trivial matter. So soon, he showed the matter to the above as it was.
Although Xu Xiangtian has clever means, in front of those real political masters, his thoughts can be easily guessed.
Besides, the intricacies of Dora's domestic forces are actually not a secret to Huaguo, which is not too far away from Dora.
Although what Su Ke said was that the four cities were regarded as rewards and given to Xu Xiangtian.
But this also means that in these four cities, the original city lords will face the treatment of being expelled.
The only difference between being a city lord and being a king is that there is a big difference in the area of territory under their rule.
In terms of privileges, being a city lord is actually no different from a king.
Just based on Su Ke's words, let them leave obediently?
Are you sure it's not a joke?
In the hearts of these four city lords, after hearing Su Ke's announcement, their first reaction was like this.
Of course, when Xu Xiangtian captured the weakest of the four cities in one day. The hearts of the other three city lords couldn't help but curse secretly.
"I'm rubbing, really?" But scolding and scolding, this has to be faced and still has to be faced.
However, after Xu Xiangtian quickly captured the city, he did not continue to take the next step.
Because the three city lords knew that if they did it alone, they would not be Xu Xiangtian's opponents.
But if they join forces, even if Xu Xiangtian can defeat them, the price he will have to pay will definitely not be small.
But what he didn't expect was that Xu Xiangtian actually used Ku Coconut City as a gift in exchange for Huaguo's military assistance.
This also means that now the three cities of them have to face no longer Xu Xiangtian's motley army of many forces, but the regular army of China!
The Chinese Army is invincible in the world.
This sentence is definitely not just talking, in the Kingdom of Locke, the combat capability of the Chinese peacekeeping force has been recognized by the whole world, or feared.
Even the U.S. military, which is not afraid of heaven and earth, has to admit that after fighting with the Chinese peacekeeping forces, if it really wants to go head-to-head, whether it is a gunfight or a white-knuckle battle, the victory or defeat of the two sides is basically just five or five.
And the army of the Doluo Kingdom could not even break through the defense line of Xu Xiangtian's motley army, let alone compete with the Chinese army.
Yes, Xu Xiangtian's so-called gift is more appropriate to say that it is a trading chip.
Although Huaguo is nominally annexed, in fact, it is still in a state of independence. When entering and exiting, the sea route that needs to be detoured is much farther.
It's okay to say that the Americas, but the countries of Asia, Africa and Europe, and China want to import and export, because of the problem of the treasure island, the additional freight required is a large amount.
In addition, because of the treasure island, countries such as the Wa Kingdom can pass through the strait between the treasure island and the Chinese country. There is no need to pay taxes to Huaguo.
But if you can get Kuye City, the tax revenue lost for many years because of the treasure island can be made up little by little.
Therefore, although he knew that this was the bait thrown by Xu Xiangtian, he hesitated a little and allowed the army to be sent from the fishing port to Kuye City to support Xu Xiangtian!
It's just that he paid a city that he still needs to waste troops to occupy, but he can get another seaside city, no matter how you look at this deal, Xu Xiangtian earns more!
