In the sixteenth year of Qiansheng, this year was very important for the Daheng Empire.

The victory in the Dynaudio War gave the Great Heng Empire the opportunity to set foot in the Endless Strait for the first time after a gap of decades.

Through the three leased military bases in the Kingdom of Tannar, the Great Heng Empire can deploy land and naval forces around the Endless Strait, although this force is currently unable to control the Endless Strait, but it is enough to completely block the Endless Strait if necessary.

Of course, what the Great Heng Empire needs is to control the Endless Strait and ensure the safety of navigation in the Endless Strait, so as to use the Endless Strait to communicate the sea traffic between the east and west coasts of the Great Heng Empire.

As for the simple blockade, in fact, the Great Heng Empire does not need it much, if the Great Heng Empire wants to blockade the Endless Strait and directly swing the main fleet to the eastern exit of the Endless Strait, then the blockade is completed, and it is impossible to drive the warships into the Endless Strait.

This is still different from the Olisa Empire's side, the Endless Sea Strait strategy of the Olisa Empire is to create trouble for the Daheng Empire by blocking the Endless Strait, and at the same time defend the mainland through the Endless Strait.

Therefore, the Great Heng Empire and the Olisa Empire, although they both value the Endless Strait, they have different angles.

One is to ensure the safety of navigation, and the other is to be able to block the endless strait to ensure the safety of the mainland.

Although the purposes are different, the two purposes are in fact conflicting.

If the Great Heng Empire wants to ensure the absolute navigation security of the Endless Strait, then it must take full control of the strait, and even prevent the Olisa Empire from deploying shore defense artillery or naval forces in their northern mainland, that is, the area along the Endless Strait.

Otherwise, once the war broke out, the Orissa Empire could still completely blockade the Endless Strait by laying mines, sending torpedo boats, offshore battleships, etc.

What can be done to solve this problem?

Quite simply, direct control of the northern territories of the Orissa Empire is enough.

And this is also the practice of the Ji Dynasty, the sixth dynasty of the Daheng Empire, decades ago, so the Daheng people at that time launched the Hengao War, and the result was in exchange for chicken feathers.

Decades ago, Daheng was very powerful, but he still failed to land across the sea to defeat the Orissa Empire, and then occupy the northern territory of the Orissa Empire.

Can the current Great Heng Empire do it?

Hard!

If it is to single out the Olisa Empire, then many people in the Daheng Empire, especially the civilian groups, are full of confidence, after all, they are the most happy to dance, and they are clamoring to go south for three days and launch the second Hengao War.

Even the military generals who restrained themselves thought that if they only fought with the Olisa Empire, although there would be some difficulties, these difficulties could be overcome.

But the problem is that if the Great Heng Empire sets off the second Hengao War in order to ensure the absolute security of the Endless Strait, and directly sends a large army across the sea to land in the northern part of the Orissa Empire, it will directly attract the intervention of countries around the world like the first Hengao War.

Once it is fought, it will not be Dahengren who will take on Olissa, but the whole world.

On the Blue Star, no country wants to see the endless expansion of the Great Heng Empire!

The brutal history of expansion of the Great Heng people in the past thousand years is enough to scare any foreigner into sleeping.

The people of the Blue Star countries have a bad impression of the Daheng people, they always feel that the Daheng people are aggressive, and they are very brutal, and they fight wars, and these damn Daheng people want to be ......

After the unification of Daheng people, it will be the second in the world for more than ten years, which will allow Daheng people to expand and develop, and the world boss is also a matter of minutes.

And after Daheng people become the world boss, can they still have the way to live in other big countries of Blue Star?

The people of Daheng are not allowed to conquer other continents one by one!

For many countries, they would rather let the colonialist Krull Kingdom continue to be the world boss than let the Daheng people be the world boss.

The Kruhr people, though also greedy, only need money.

But what about the people of Daheng, they want land, and if they want land, they don't want people......

Isn't this a neurosis!

In addition to these traditional factors, there is also a very practical reason that the competition between the major powers of Blue Star is very fierce, especially in international trade.

And the entire Blue Star market is so big, Daheng people earn more, and other countries naturally earn less, which directly stimulates the relationship between the Daheng Empire and other countries to plummet in recent years.

The competition between the Daheng Empire and the Gafia Empire and the Orissa Empire in the field of textiles and low-level industrial products was already a bayonet, and this kind of intense commercial tension directly led to the deterioration of the relationship between the Daheng Empire and the above two countries, which in turn led to other contradictions, and finally led to the outbreak of war.

From another point of view, if the international trade between the Great Heng Empire and the Olisa Empire is complementary and there is no fierce competition between each other, even if there is a centuries-old feud, at most, you don't look at me, I don't look at you, you can't fight to the death, and it is even possible to sign a navigation guarantee agreement on the endless strait with each other.

However, intense commercial tensions have led to hostility between the civil and the official levels.

In this hostile mentality, each other is wary, and this vigilance further leads to the intensification of conflicts and contradictions, and as a result, war breaks out.

Why does the Great Heng Empire have to completely control the Endless Strait in life or death, it's not that he is afraid that the Orissa Empire will block the Endless Strait one day.

Why does the Olisa Empire have to control the Endless Strait in life and death, it's not that they are afraid that one day the army of the Great Heng Empire will land on their northern territory.

You are afraid of me, I am afraid of you, coupled with historical hatred and the current conflict of interests, and finally the relationship between the two countries has become like this.

The contradictions between the Great Heng Empire and the Gafia Empire and the Olissa Empire were intense, and the contradictions with other countries were also gradually deepening.

Even the Keel Empire, which had a good cooperative relationship with the past, has had a certain trade conflict in the past two years.

The reason is very simple, because after more than ten years of rapid development, the manufacturing industry has continued to upgrade, and it has begun to impact the mid-to-high-end market.

In the sixteenth year of the reign of the Great Heng Empire, the value of all kinds of mid-end mining, steelmaking and other machinery and equipment exported reached more than 10 million Heng Yuan.

And this has a direct impact on the interests of the Keye Empire, which is currently an exporter of mid-range mining and steelmaking equipment.

The commercial conflict between the Daheng Empire and the Walya Empire is also intensifying, mainly around mid-range products.

The conflict between the Great Heng Empire and the Krull Kingdom is not small, and there are not many ordinary commercial conflicts, but the competition in the field of shipbuilding and weapons is also very large.
