The Kruhr people demanded that the Orr Kingdom open up the right to explore and mine gold, and allowed the merchants of the Kruer Kingdom to explore and mine gold in the territory of the Orr Kingdom.

This request was rejected by the Orr Kingdom, and there was no room for negotiation.

Because the gold industry is the core industry of the Orr Kingdom, millions of people in the country and millions of people in the two small countries, a total of more than 8 million people rely on gold for food, so the gold industry is a state-owned monopoly industry in the Orr Kingdom, and all affairs are directly controlled by the 'Gold Industry Committee' directly under the palace cabinet.

In addition to official capital, even the private capital of their own elites, let alone foreign businessmen, could not participate.

Rather, it was the Kruhr people who proposed a cooperative development of oil, and the Orns made concessions on this point.

It's just that the Krull people want the monopoly of oil extraction, which will not work.

Don't say that the Orr Kingdom disagrees, and the Great Heng Empire does not agree either.

Because the Shayangwan Petroleum Company of the Daheng Empire had already signed relevant contracts in advance for the cooperative development of the Wright oil field in the central region of the Orr Kingdom, the two sides jointly established the Orr Petroleum Company, in which the Shayangwan Petroleum Company occupies 30 percent of the shares, in addition to contributing a part of the funds, it also needs to provide all the surveying, exploitation technology and related equipment.

Dahengren's Shayangwan Petroleum Company paid a lot of price to get 30 percent of the shares.

At the same time, there is also a crude oil purchase agreement with priority purchase at the same price!

If the Krull Kingdom wants the monopoly of oil development, it will not only hurt the interests of the Orr Kingdom, but also the interests of the Great Heng Empire.

Therefore, Jiang Wanye, the foreign minister of the Daheng Empire, who presided over the mediation and was also an observer, also said the first truly meaningful sentence in the multi-day negotiations, in addition to the opening remarks and nonsense such as easing the atmosphere:

"The interests of the empire must not be infringed upon, no matter who it is!"

When he said this, Jiang Wanye also looked around: "Otherwise, he will be the enemy of millions of soldiers in the empire!" ”

Hearing these domineering and threatening words, Deacenson couldn't help but stand up on the spot: "The kingdom's navy will never tolerate the kingdom's oil supply being stuck in the neck!" ”

At this time, Deackenson's deputy also quietly pulled Deacenson down, signaling him to calm down!

At the same time, his deputy also spoke: "The Kingdom's determination to ensure the supply of oil is clear, but for the inherent oil rights and interests of the Heng Empire in the Orr Kingdom, we are a big country that abides by the rules, and we will give full respect!" ”

Today is an armistice negotiation with the Orr War, not to compete for any interests with the Daheng Empire, and I don't want to cause a conflict with the Daheng Empire because of this.

Besides, the kingdom's negotiation requirements were not expected to be able to snatch the inherent oil cake from the mouths of the Daheng people, they just wanted the right to explore and exploit oil elsewhere.

Moreover, everyone knows that these Heng barbarians are unreasonable, and impulsive and irritable, if Deacenson dares to use war as a threat by name today, Ming'er may not be able to say that these damn Great Heng people will declare war.

At this time, the empire's side naturally saw less when it was good, and the big guys below were not easy to speak, but the director of the second department of the empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that is, the director of the Kingdom Island Hall, spoke: "The empire has always pursued the principles of peaceful development and free trade, and is willing to cooperate with other countries on a fair and voluntary basis!" ”

In fact, when he said these words just now, Jiang Wanye was also worried that he would not be able to come to power, although the empire is not afraid of war, but for the sake of a mere Orr kingdom and a little oil interests, it is a bit too child's play, the empire is engaged in this mediation in order to enhance the international influence of the empire, not to engage in contradictions.

Of course, even so, the empire must maintain the diplomatic attitude that a great power should have, that is: "Whoever dares to steal my interests, Lao Tzu will do it!" ”

In this regard, not only the Great Heng Empire, but in fact, no major country will easily back down, even if war breaks out because of this.

Because of this kind of thing, if you back down once, your weakness will be exposed, and people will think that you are weak and deceitful, and you will eventually come to the door one after another, and in the past few decades, there are many countries that have exposed their weakness and have been exploited and even dismembered by the big countries......

So now many countries know very well that they must give the strongest reaction to anything that tries to infringe on their own interests, and tell the whole world that whoever dares to infringe on my interests, I will make up for whom!

Even if your own strength is really weak, you have to bluff, and if you want to put on a posture like this with the Orrs, even if I die myself, I have to bite off a big piece of your flesh!

Let those big countries feel that the gains outweigh the losses, and finally compromise or even give up.

As for saying that the war really broke out in the end, it really exposed his weakness, so needless to say, the end will definitely be over......

This is the reality of the diplomacy and politics of the Blue Star in the last ten or twenty years!

This small game between the Great Heng Empire and the Krull Kingdom is also a product of this background, the empire will not give up its own interests, and the Krull Kingdom also needs to ensure its own oil supply.

Fortunately, the two sides were still able to achieve no conflict of interest, that is, there were other places in the Orr Kingdom where oil exploration could be made.

In this regard, the Orr Kingdom is actually very calm!

Before this meeting, in fact, the Orr Kingdom agreed in advance to cede some of the oil power, so that the Krull Kingdom could obtain a stable supply of oil.

Subsequently, the two sides reached a preliminary verbal agreement to cooperate in the field of oil, such as supplying a part of the crude oil to the Kingdom of Krull on a regular basis, and at the same time investing in cooperative oil exploration and exploitation for the southern region of the Orr Kingdom and the region of the Venabe Kingdom.

However, although a preliminary agreement has been reached on the oil issue, there are many more important issues that have not been resolved.

At the same time, the two sides may easily back down, so this negotiation is destined to be long and tug-of-war.

At this time, in order to promote negotiations and gain more negotiating advantages, the Krull Kingdom also launched a new round of offensive in the Orr War.

On land, the Krull Kingdom will gather a part of its native forces, and a large number of colonial troops will set out from the Kalan Heights to try to attack the hinterland of the Orr Kingdom, especially the central core area that threatens the most important for the Orr Kingdom.

At the same time, on the sea, the navy of the Krull Kingdom also set off a new round of operations, not only a naval blockade, but also launched an artillery bombardment on several ports in the Orr Kingdom.

Needless to say, the battle on land is naturally the focus of the battle between the two sides, the Krull Kingdom gathered nearly 300,000 troops from the Karan Heights line, and the Orr Three Kingdoms also gathered nearly the same number of armies to stand by, the two sides fought repeatedly in this complex terrain area, the whole situation is almost no different from the previous two Kalan Heights battles, it seems that the Orr Three Kingdoms coalition army is losing one after another, but every breakthrough on the Krull Kingdom side needs to pay a huge price.

The consumption of ammunition is huge, and the casualties are not small!

Moreover, this time the campaign was launched in a hurry, completely for the purpose of politics and diplomacy, and the Krull Kingdom was actually not very well prepared, especially the ammunition and material reserves were small, so that half a month after the launch of the Third Battle of Karan Heights, they fell into an embarrassing situation of insufficient ammunition.

Of course, the Orr Kingdom on the other side is no better, they have been resisting the Krull Kingdom for nearly two years, and hundreds of thousands of battles have been fought three or four times, ordinary battles with tens of thousands of people are even more frequent, not to mention small battles with hundreds of thousands of people.

The high-intensity and long-term war is also a great consumption of the strategic materials of the Orr Kingdom, especially the ammunition reserves, the pre-war reserves are expected to be enough to fight five years of high-intensity battles, and now they have been eliminated, even if they can still get some supplies through the third-party land channel, but the amount is extremely limited for the high consumption of the war.

Therefore, in the third battle of Karan Heights, both sides were not fighting well, and the military attaches of various countries who watched the battle were clearly able to see that the intensity of this large-scale battle had dropped significantly compared with the previous two battles.

This can be seen from the amount of artillery shells used, in half a month, the Krull Kingdom only fired seventy or eighty thousand shells, if this number is placed in the past few years, then it must be a huge amount of ammunition consumption.

But now, two years after the outbreak of the war in Orr, this ammunition consumption is no longer significant.

During the first Battle of Karan Heights, the Krull Kingdom fired more than 300,000 shells in one go, and the second Battle of Karan Heights was even more, and the reason why they were able to seize most of the area of Karan Heights in one go was because they fired enough shells, and at that time they fired more than 500,000 shells in one go, completely suppressing the artillery units of the Orr Kingdom, thus winning the victory in the Second Battle of Karan Heights.

But in this third battle of Karan Heights, the ammunition consumption of the Krull Kingdom seems to be unable to keep up!

It's not that the Krull Kingdom is poor, and the national strength can't keep up, it's purely because the preparation time for this battle is too short, and they haven't had time to transfer a large number of war materials, and now on the many ports where materials are transported, all kinds of shells and bullets are piled up, but it is not so easy to transport them to the inland front, although their Krull Kingdom has begun to build a temporary military railway, but this temporary railway is often destroyed by the sporadic troops of the Orr Kingdom, and the transportation volume cannot go up at all.

The rear port supplies were piled up, and the artillerymen of the front-line troops had to be careful to control the consumption of ammunition even if they fired a single cannon.

This is the embarrassing problem faced by the army of the Krull Kingdom!
