Chapter 819: The Endless Strait, More Important to the Olisa Empire

The Great Heng people's desire to master the Endless Strait is well known and has been working hard for it!

This effort began more than 500 years ago, not in recent years or even decades.

More than 500 years ago, during the Fifth Dynasty of Daheng and the Zhou Dynasty, the people of Daheng tried to completely control the Endless Strait.

At that time, the people of Daheng swept all the way south, all the way to the Endless Strait.

In the end, the Zhou dynasty established the enclave of Tanner on the northern shore of the Endless Strait, and garrisoned a large army, and even tried to cross the Endless Strait and land on the southern continent.

It is a pity that the endless strait dozens of kilometers wide is not so easy to cross, and the Zhou dynasty's plan to try to land on the southern continent has not yet begun to run aground.

As time passed, especially when the Zhou Dynasty turned back and cleaned up some of the indigenous countries south of Daheng and north of the Endless Sea, the distant state of Tanner naturally became uncontrollable.

Decades later, the mixed descendants of the local Daheng and Olisa immigrants established themselves as kingdoms with the support of the southern Olissa, and the Daheng people at that time were busy expanding to the western interior, and at the same time fighting with several major indigenous countries, and many places north of the Kingdom of Tannar and south of Daheng, that is, the area of Ningyu Prefecture now, are still the territory of indigenous countries.

The people of Daheng did not have the energy or ability to go to war in the enclave of the distant kingdom of Tannar, so they negotiated with the Orissa.

In the end, the two countries reached an agreement, and the Kingdom of Tanna became an independent kingdom, and the new King of Tanna was sent by the Zhou Dynasty to serve as the prince, but the new king had to marry the princess of the Olisa Empire first.

The next king must be a descendant of both of them!

This is the origin of the Zhou dynasty of the Kingdom of Tanna!

In the following hundreds of years, the Kingdom of Tanor survived in the gap between the Great Heng and the Orissa Empire, and when the Great Heng people were strong, they leaned on the Great Heng people to help the Great Heng people control the Endless Strait.

When the Olisa were strong, they leaned to the Olisa to help the Olisa control the Endless Strait.

And the constant back-and-forth of the Kingdom of Tanor for hundreds of years actually represents the long history of the Great Heng and the Olisa people constantly fighting for the Endless Strait.

This is not a few decades, but a history of more than 500 years!

An endless strait, I don't know how many Great Heng people and Orissa people are buried!

Daheng people have always been thinking about the endless strait, and this concern is that with the development of science and technology, the development of navigation is becoming more and more active, and even rose to the height of national strategy.

Especially with the advent of steamships, shipping became more and more convenient, and the Great Heng Empire belonged to a country that straddled the east and west coasts of the central continent.

In addition, the topography of the central continent and the southern continent is also relatively special.

The central continent is not only Daheng, the area north of Daheng is a large area of frozen land and ice field, where there is no grass and is extremely desolate, not suitable for human survival at all, but this ice field is very large and has been extending to the North Pole, and is connected to the northern section of the western continent, this place is fundamentally different from the sea route.

The southern continent can be bypassed to the south, and although the sea area is cold and difficult to travel, it is also a navigable sea route.

However, if you go around the southernmost tip of the Southern Continent, it will be too far away for the Great Heng Empire.

Historically, the central continent and the central and northern countries of the southern continent basically passed through the endless straits for their east-west cross-strait transportation.

At the same time, the Endless Strait is also a major waterway for the eastern countries of the eastern continent of the Daheng Empire on the east coast of the Great Heng Empire, starting from the east coast of Daheng, you can enter the Dongping Sea after bypassing the Endless Strait, which is the second sea on the Blue Star, and together with the Endless Sea, it constitutes the main sea area on the Blue Star.

However, the political, economic and cultural center on the Blue Star is the coastal circle of the Endless Sea, and the development of the coast of the Dongping Sea is very average.

However, the Dongping Sea was still an important shipping route for the Great Heng Empire to connect the western continent and the eastern coastal countries of the southwest continent.

However, there is a problem with the Endless Strait.

In the end, it is purely a military issue, mainly the transfer of warships!

The Great Heng Empire needs to defend the east coast and the west coast at the same time, although the focus is on the east coast, but the west coast cannot be abandoned.

Although it is said that the western continent in the west of the Dongpinghai Sea and the southwest continent are far away, the west coast of the western continent is also a number of small and medium-sized countries, and it is unlikely that they will cross the Dongpinghai to attack the western coast area of the Great Heng Empire.

But isn't there another Krull Kingdom and the Olisa Empire!

Needless to say, the Krull Kingdom has a global navy that has a global attack, and the largest archipelago in the Dongping Sea, the Juya Islands, which happen to be located in the middle of the Dongping Sea, are controlled by the Krull Kingdom.

There is also the Olisa Empire, the sworn enemy of the Great Heng people, who are also countries of the two seas, and in recent decades, they have gradually taken control of the Cassie Kingdom, and now they are still fighting a proxy war for the Kingdom of Tanor and the Great Heng Empire, and they are fully capable of directly threatening the security of the west coast of the Great Heng Empire.

It is necessary to deploy two seas at the same time, but it is impossible for the Great Heng Empire to really deploy a large number of main fleets on each side, which is unrealistic and irrational.

Although the navy of the Great Heng Empire is huge, there is still a distinction between light and heavy, the main fleet is basically assembled on the east coast, and the west coast is mainly for strategic defense, which is more important in addition to the east coast, in fact, it is also worried that after the outbreak of the war, the endless strait will be blocked by the Olisa Empire, and the main fleet deployed on the west coast will not be able to return to the east coast in time.

All of these involve the Endless Strait!

The problems of mass cargo transportation and passenger transportation on the two coasts of the country, as well as the maritime transportation of some countries on the east coast of the western continent and the east coast of the southwest continent, and more importantly, the movement of warships in wartime, are becoming more and more prominent year by year.

Many people in the Daheng Empire today are worried, after the outbreak of the war that day, the Endless Strait was blocked, and the Daheng Navy was divided into two and fell into a state of separate battles, and at the same time, the east and west coasts could not be transported by sea.

It is precisely because of worries that the people of Daheng have always wanted to control the Endless Strait, and when they were first unified, so many people clamored to wave their troops south, mostly out of this consideration.

Because the Endless Strait is too important to the Great Heng Empire.

Unfortunately, the Endless Strait was just as important, if not more important, to the Olisa Empire, which had always regarded the Endless Strait as a lifeline for maritime transportation and a defensive barrier to the north.

The Orissa Empire will never sit idly by and watch the Great Heng Empire, or even any country control the Endless Strait under their noses, whether it is the Great Heng Empire or the Krull Kingdom!

Whoever dares to touch the Endless Strait, the Olisa people will fight with them!

The Orissa Empire is not only a country of the two seas, but their northern territory is the coast of the Endless Strait, if you are controlled by the Endless Strait, wouldn't it be possible to cross the Endless Strait and directly land on their northern territory in minutes?

Well, more than sixty years ago, the people of Daheng had already done this once!

So the Olisa people will never give the Great Heng people a second chance like this!
