Chapter 708: War with the Great Heng People, Crazy You!
Now many generals of the navy of the Krull Kingdom believe that the maritime threat of the kingdom will mainly come from three aspects in the future, one is the Walia Empire and the Keel Empire in the Western Continent.
Why did the Krull Kingdom provoke the two strongest countries in the Western Continent at the same time, and these two countries were still sworn enemies of each other for hundreds of years.
Because the national strength of these two countries is the strongest in the Western Continent!
When the Krull Kingdom and the Walya Empire were competing for hegemony, the Krull Kingdom was very unhappy to see the world's third eldest Kekel sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight and make war money, so after fighting the Valia Empire, taking advantage of the strength of the navy of the year, he easily sent the navy of the Kekel Empire to the bottom of the sea, and it was still an undeclared war......
As a result, the two countries also formed a mortal enmity.
The conflicts in the Western Continent in recent decades have basically been between the Krull Kingdom and the Walya Empire, as well as the Kekel Empire.
The second is the Gafia Empire in the northeast corner of the southwest continent, which is also an industrial country, and its maritime power is not weak, and most importantly, it also controls half of the island of Edith in the Strait of Edith.
The western shipping lane of the Edith Strait is their inland sea, and the eastern shipping lane can also be controlled through the island of Edith.
Therefore, the east and west shipping lanes of the Edith Strait are actually under the control of the Gafia Empire.
The ships of their Krull Kingdom are naturally free to pass, but once a war breaks out, they can cut off this strait with just a blockade, so the Krull Kingdom has actually supported the Ibean Empire and the Gafia Empire to fight a large-scale war more than ten years ago, but it has not been able to distinguish the winner, and the Gafia Empire can still threaten the safety of the east and west lanes of the Edith Strait at any time.
The above two directions are the traditional opponents of the Krull Kingdom.
However, many of the kingdom's admirals believe that the Great Heng Empire will also become the kingdom's third opponent!
Don't look at the unification of Daheng talents for a few years, but their infamous history has told the world that the pursuit of expansion by Heng Barbarians is engraved in the bones, and more importantly, the huge industrial potential shown by Daheng people after the unification of Daheng people.
In just a few years, the share of international trade of the Daheng people is already the third largest in the world, and they have become each other's largest trading countries with the Krull Kingdom.
But the international market is so big, after there are more competitors, the kingdom's profits will definitely be less, and then the trade conflict between the two sides will be inevitable.
And economic interests are often the most critical factor driving the outbreak of war!
It is precisely because of the three major threats at the same time that the Navy of the Kingdom of Krull passed the Naval Bill to promote the so-called warship replacement plan, which is actually a fleet expansion plan, in order to continue to gain absolute superiority over the navies of various countries around the world.
But when Dickenson saw the many ships on the Jingshi Lecture Wharf, and looked at the factories of a large area along the river to the south, he wondered for the first time whether the Imperial Navy could continue to maintain absolute suppression of these constant barbarians in the future.
After all, the current strategy of the kingdom's navy is to pursue absolute global superiority, what is the specific concept?
The strategy of the Krull Kingdom Navy is a global presence, a global attack!
The Navy needs to be able to control the global maritime situation!
To this end, they have three major fleets, namely the Home Fleet, the Southeast Fleet, and the Southwest Fleet, which deal with the threats of the Western Continent, the Southwest Continent, the Central Continent, and the Southern Continent respectively.
Although this goal has not been achieved yet, it can be seen from the dozens of capital ships of the Krull Kingdom Navy that they have really done it, and they have done it well.
In the more than year-long Orr War, the navy of the Krull Kingdom did not reduce even one cutting-edge warship deployed on the mainland, the southwest continent.
But looking at it now, Deackenson feels that the kingdom's naval strategy is a little too optimistic, and it can barely be maintained now, but when the Great Heng people also expand their navy on a large scale, even if the kingdom is strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain its advantage in all three directions at the same time.
The busy Jinghe River and the industrial area in the southern suburbs of Jingzhou, when you go ashore, you can see that it is neat and clean, and there is no war damage at all, and there are a large number of new tall buildings rising up, and the road is also very wide, and paved with asphalt, and the crowd is also full of vitality, and the dress is generally good.
These did not make Dickenson see the peace-loving side of the Great Heng people, but made Dickenson more worried.
He believes that behind all this, it means that the people of Daheng have recovered from decades of civil war.
At the same time, as a Krull diplomat who is familiar with the history of the Great Heng people, he knows very well that whenever the Great Heng people complete the great unification, they will launch external expansion after a few years, and for more than a thousand years, there has never been an exception!
As for the current Lin Dynasty, he can't be sure, but the possibility is extremely great!
Deackenson has only been in the capital of the Daheng Empire for one day, and he has already decided to recommend that the cabinet adjust the global strategy after returning to China, and pay attention to the threats that the Daheng people may bring!
I'm afraid this is not the result that the high-ranking people of the Great Heng Empire want to see......
The people of Daheng still want to show the impression of the empire's peace-loving to the outside world through international negotiations.
In recent years, including the next few years, the focus of the Daheng Empire has remained on domestic economic development, and has not considered waging war abroad.
Even if the Olisa people in the south were disgusting, they jumped out every once in a while to say something about the threat of Daheng, but the people of Daheng still couldn't hold back and didn't make a move.
Peaceful development and making a lot of money is the main theme of contemporary Daheng!
And when will there be a war, naturally, when it is not profitable.
Now the high-level of Daheng generally has no idea of fighting, and now international trade is booming, making money is soft, and it is not good to fight.
But the top level of the empire, even Lin Ziran himself did not expect that on the first day of the Krull Kingdom's negotiation delegation, on the first day of setting foot in Beijing, many people, including the head of the delegation and Foreign Minister Deackenson, had already made up their minds that the Great Heng Empire was a threat, and it should be contained in advance, otherwise, it would be another Gafia Empire.
A few decades ago, the Gafia Empire was only a small country, but after the development of industry in the last two or three decades, the national power has increased dramatically, and it has become the most important threat to the kingdom in the southeast.
A large-scale war has been triggered for this!
At that time, in order to contain the Gafia Empire, the kingdom could support the Iboan Empire to connect with the Oran Kingdom to launch a war, although it failed to completely defeat the Gafia Empire, but it also successfully slowed down their development, and now the Gafia Empire is only a first-class end country, and its industrial strength is not worth mentioning.
Now in the face of the Daheng people, the best way is naturally to fight, and there is no need to land and fight, just send the navy to block their coastline, cut off their maritime trade, and let them play in the central continent by themselves!
But Deacenson estimated that if he returned to China, it would be better to start a war against the Great Heng people, for fear that he would be sprayed to death by the people inside the Krull Kingdom.
It's okay what are you provoking those constant barbarians, those madmen who dare to directly beat their own country to collapse for the sake of foreign wars!
And in order to avoid a possible threat of war in the future, you declare war on the people of Daheng now, isn't it putting the cart before the horse!
In short, in one sentence:
Go to war with the Great Heng people, go crazy to you!
Deackenson knows very well that it is naturally not advisable to start a war against Daheng or something, but there are other ways to stifle the development of Daheng people.
For example, the export of advanced equipment and technology is restricted;
stifling their international trade internationally.
This is enough to make Daheng people unable to quickly improve industrial technology, unable to get more profits from the international market, and then slow down the industrial development of Daheng people.
