Chapter 858: The fleet begins to assemble
Listening to the minister's report, Emperor Lin Ziran was also pensive.
Since the discovery of the Kean oil field, the situation in the Kean region has been very complex, leading directly to the involvement of major powers.
And the main wrestlers are actually the Great Heng Empire and the Krull Kingdom.
Even the Gafia Empire on the side, even if the former Republic of Kean was a vassal state of their Gafia Empire, they actually did not have the absolute strength to participate in it.
In addition, the Kair Empire, the Walya Empire, the Orissa Empire, the Orlan Kingdom and other major powers are also involved.
Even the Lieji Kingdom, the Kachata Kingdom, and the Majune Kingdom, which are three small countries adjacent to the Republic of Kean, are all mixed with saliva.
Why?
Because of the Kean Big Oilfield!
This is a super large oil field, in recent years, there are many aspects of exploration, there is already a lot of evidence on the surface, this is very likely to be a potential oil reserves no less than the Changtian oil field in Changtian County, Qingyuan County, Ningyu Prefecture, Daheng Empire.
The Changtian Oilfield is the largest oilfield in the Daheng Empire, and the crude oil production capacity accounts for about 80% of the current oil production capacity of the Daheng Empire.
Even if the final reserves of the Kean field are not so large, the existing proven reserves alone are definitely not a small number.
Such a super-large oil field is placed here, which directly attracts the attention of the entire Blue Star.
Among them, the Krull Kingdom wants to get the oil supply from this oil field, while the Great Heng Empire wants to prevent other countries from obtaining oil from this place.
Other countries want to reap the benefits of oil!
For example, the Gafia Empire, in fact, they don't care who finally came up with the oil production capacity, as long as the oil can make money, they will be very happy when they get the money, but it's unwilling, including the Krull Kingdom.
The Krull Kingdom not only wants to obtain a large supply of oil, but also does not want to pay a huge price, which really needs to use real money to purchase oil, with the huge industrial economy of the Krull Kingdom, this annual oil import capital is astronomical.
Therefore, the idea of the Krull Kingdom is more straightforward, directly supporting the local forces to occupy this oil field, and then allowing its own oil company to obtain the right to exploit it, at most symbolically giving the local strength a little tax, but it is impossible to do more.
And countries such as the Keel Empire and the Walya Empire are also big oil importers, and they are also unwilling to pay protection fees to the Gafiya Empire.
Therefore, in the early years, the countries reached an agreement on the distribution of the Kean oil field, but in fact, under the instigation of the Daheng Empire, and other countries also wanted to take it for nothing and did not want to give money, so the Kean area continued to be turbulent, and finally evolved into an internal war between the east and the west.
In addition, with the Krull Kingdom and the Great Heng Empire watching from the sidelines, even the Gafia Empire is helpless about it!
However, this became more and more chaotic, and the Krull Kingdom soon discovered that this continuous turmoil was not good, because of the impact of the war, this oil could not be extracted at all.
However, a few years later, the amount of production in the large Kenn oil field is not as good as that of the Orr Kingdom.
It's good that this time is short, but after a long time, the Krull Kingdom will feel unhappy, this oil will not be extracted, let alone not giving money, there is no oil for this money......
So the Kingdom of Krull began to intervene strongly, and turned around and went to the Republican Army.
Therefore, the civil war on the side of the Republic of Ken in the last two years is actually a proxy war, a proxy war between the Krull Kingdom and the Great Heng Empire, a war over oil, and nothing even happened to the Gafia Empire......
How to say it, a few years ago, the Gafia Empire still intervened strongly, but it was beaten back by the Daheng Empire and the Krull Kingdom.
In the fifteenth year of Qiansheng, the Gafia Empire even directly sent troops to participate in the first Kenn Civil War, but was beaten back by the Republican Army supported by the Krull Kingdom and the Western Alliance Army supported by the Daheng Empire.
At that time, whether it was the Krull Kingdom or the Daheng Empire, all kinds of weapons and equipment were thrown over as if they were not for money, so that the local indigenous militias had weapons and equipment that were not inferior to the main forces of the great powers.
In the sixteenth year of the reign of Qiansheng, the Krull Kingdom and the Great Heng Empire also joined forces to directly intervene, and the navies of the two countries patrolled the coast of the Gafia Empire, and forcibly forced the Gafia Empire to publicly declare that the Republic of Kean was an independent country, and that the Gafia Empire would not interfere in the internal affairs of the country, and completely withdrew its officials, troops, etc. in the Kean region.
This was also regarded as a great shame in the Cafia Empire's 'Kenn Intervention'.
Because they were forced to give up their interests by the world boss and the world leader at that time.
At that time, the navy of the Great Heng Empire and the navy of the Krull Kingdom had already made a posture of blockading the coast of the Gafia Empire, and they didn't even need to land directly in the future, and after directly blocking their coast, their international trade would be directly finished.
This incident was also the trigger for the sharp warming of relations between the Gafia Empire and the Kekel Empire, the two countries used to have a good relationship, but now, it is estimated that they are quasi-allies of each other.
At the same time, it also led to the new prime minister of the Gafia Empire, and the new prime minister and other ministers are standard hawks, and now their Gafia Empire is building a large navy.
As for the final result, no one knows.
But after the retreat of the Gafian Empire, the turmoil in the Kenn region continued!
After the Great Heng Empire and the Krull Kingdom joined forces to drive out the Gafia Empire, the two sides began to fight directly, and the puppet armies supported by each side fought around the Kenn oil field, but no one could help anyone.
This was originally a balance of power, but now, it is rumored that after the start of a new round of battles, the Western Alliance's defense line on the Western Front began to lose within a day, which naturally made the Daheng Empire very nervous.
Lin Ziran also quickly made a decision: "Send someone to negotiate with the Krull, and be sure to keep the diplomatic contact between the two sides unimpeded!" ”
"However, diplomacy is always unreliable, the Imperial Army and Navy must be prepared, the existing army strength of the Beauva military base is still less, first increase the number of divisions, and prepare another three divisions to be transported to the Ryan base in the Orr Kingdom for backup!"
"The navy also wants to reinforce the Southwest Fleet, and it is necessary to ensure the safety of sea transportation!"
"Reconnect with the Ji people, let them prepare for mobilization, I need to see 50,000 Ji volunteers within a month, tell them, do things well, the empire will never treat any friend badly."
"However, the southwest continent is always a secondary battlefield, and what needs to be paid more attention is the frontal battlefield, so let the main fleet of the navy begin to assemble!"
Lin Ziran continued: "I want to see how much these Krull people are willing to pay for oil! ”
