Chapter 270: The Empire's Grievances and Hatreds
"Thank you."
After Wang Kaiyuan and Li Qing went out, Bai Zhizhan suddenly burst out, and his voice was still very low, which made Zhang Xiaoqing confused.
She glanced at the two people who walked out, seemed to understand something, and nodded at Bai Zhizhan.
Bai Zhizhan didn't say much, after all, the room was so big.
Indeed, the reply sent by the residence of the first assistant replied to several key questions, and there were no major problems, except that the distribution of benefits after the war was inappropriate.
The call back said "to be discussed".
At the beginning, Bai Zhizhan was also frightened by the content of this part.
It is not so much about the distribution of interests as it is about drawing up an international order headed by the Big Three, the core of which is to divide the spheres of influence of the Big Three.
Fundamentally, it was the Liangxia Empire and the Juman Empire that intended to leave much living space for the Luosha Federation.
After all, there was no direct conflict between the Liangxia Empire and the Riman Empire.
To put it mildly, the Luosha Federation sandwiched in the middle is more like a buffer zone that separates the two empires and prevents the two empires from fighting each other.
On the western side of the continent, it is divided into three parts: southern, central, and northern.
In the south, the Republic of There, as well as the eastern coast of the Luxinhai, the traditional sphere of influence of the There Empire, were used as a buffer zone to ensure that the Republic of There continued to maintain its independent status. The western part of the buffer zone, including the southern part of the Western Continent and the area north of the Saha Desert in the Xuan Continent, was the sphere of influence of the Hindman Empire. To the east of the buffer zone, mainly the Mohai Sea, and the west coast of the Mohai Sea are the spheres of influence of the Luosha Federation.
The central part refers to the eastern part of the western continent. Those states that were independent at the time of the collapse of the Luosha Empire belonged to the Luosha Federation, and the Luosha Federation was allowed to absorb or annex these countries by means including military action. To the east of the Viva River, the Empire of the Empire, which had only become independent after the end of the last war, was the sphere of influence of the Empire, except that the Empire had to promise not to seek to annex the Empire.
The Svia Peninsula in the north, with the central Huangrui Kingdom as a buffer zone. To the east, the Kingdom of Finn, which was a vassal of the Luosha Empire before the last war, is the sphere of influence of the Luosha Federation. To the west, east of the Svya Mountains, the kingdom of Weijing, bordering the northern setting ocean, was the sphere of influence of the Empire. However, both the Locka Federation and the Empire had to promise not to launch territorial expansions in the region.
On this side of the huge road, it is mainly the western part of the Gangaro Plain and the Posha Bay area.
To put it simply, the area west of the Van Lo River Plain, the north shore of Posha Bay, and the north of the Twin River Plain is the sphere of influence of the Locksha Federation, which includes the north of Posha Bay and a section of the coastline north of the Mua Sea. To the east of the Fanluo River Plain, the Wild Sand Peninsula between Posha Bay and the Narrow Sea, as well as the Kibu region in the northeast of the Xuan Continent, were the sphere of influence of the Liang Xia Empire, and the Liang Xia Empire promised not to carry out territorial annexation.
Just look at the content, it's not much of a problem.
Since the war with the Luosha Empire, which was fought for huge land supremacy and thus became a global power, the Liangxia Empire has not regarded territorial expansion as the goal in all its external expansions, and even if necessary, it will choose islands that are easy to control.
In its external expansion, the Liangxia Empire has always pursued a strategy of "economic and trade priority".
The most representative is in the Van Luo area.
As early as Chen Bingxun's time, the Imperial Navy defeated the Royal Navy of Bran and became the overlord of Fan Yanyang, which opened the prelude to the march to Fan Yanyang. In the decades that followed, the Empire did not enter the Van Lo region, but only demanded that the Kingdom of Bran open all its ports and give the Empire equal preferential treatment in the area, that is, allow Imperial enterprises to conduct fair trade in the princely states controlled by the Kingdom of Bran.
This situation was maintained until the outbreak of the last war.
In fact, this also became the fuse for the all-out confrontation between the Liang Xia Empire and the Bran Kingdom.
The reason is very simple: through this economic invasion of trade, the Liangxia Empire seized a large amount of profit at almost no cost, while the Bran Kingdom did not reap the corresponding economic rewards after paying the high cost of occupation and control.
The loss suffered in the Van Luo region became the beginning of the decline of the Bran Kingdom.
Without Van Ro, what is left of the Bran Kingdom?
Those wild places on the Xuan Continent?
Red Maple Country, with a population of less than 10 million?
On the other side of the world, Austria is equally sparsely populated?
Although the area of Van Luo is not very large, less than 4 million square kilometers, the Van Luo River Plain and the Gangara Plain are inhabited by 200 million people!
In addition, the climate is very warm and the produce is abundant.
For more than a hundred years before the rise of the Liangxia Empire, the prosperity of the Bran Kingdom, and even its ability to dominate the world, relied on the fertile soil of Van Luo.
In the words of a nobleman who still has a little conscience: each jewel in the crown of Bran is made of the life and blood of the people of Van Roe.
It is only a matter of time before the loss of the Van Roe market, then the loss of the crown of global hegemony.
The empire's "economic and trade first" strategy is similar to the "open door" of the Nuland Federation.
Strictly speaking, it was only after the success of the empire that the Nuland Federation proposed an "open door" strategy.
Interestingly, this has also led to the two super-hegemons coming to the opposite side.
For a long time before the outbreak of the last war, the Liangxia Empire and the Newland Federation had common interests, and both countries had the capital to dominate the world, but because of the late rise and birth, they missed the opportunity and could only snatch food from the mouth of the old empire.
The same is true of the Riman Empire.
In addition, the histories of these three emerging powers are very similar.
The Liangxia Empire became a great power after defeating the Luosha Empire, and relied on the benefits gained in the war to grow rapidly and eventually industrialize.
The Nuland Federation expanded its territory by defeating its neighbors to the south, gaining access to the Guia Ocean, and then defeated the Sunset Empire and dominated the isolated continent.
The Empire took the Locke Empire as a stepping stone, and with the opportunity of encircling and suppressing the Locke Empire, it was upgraded from a kingdom to an empire, and became the only land power in the Western Continent in one fell swoop.
It's just that the "economic priority" policy of the Liangxia Empire, the "open door" strategy of the Nuland Federation, and the "sunshine land" strategy pursued by the Yuman Empire will inevitably conflict in some places, and it is an economic issue involving the core interests of the country.
For example, the Liang Xia Empire will definitely expand to the Siban-speaking Southern Isolated Continent, which is the backyard of the Nuland Federation!
Similarly, the Nuland Federation has been operating in the Guia region, trying to gain a springboard for the invasion of the Great Continent and the intervening in the affairs of the East.
Similar contradictions led to the Nuland Federation falling into the arms of the old empire, while the Liangxia Empire came together with the Juman Empire.
Of course, this is all history.
The current situation is that the great war has just broken out, and to be precise, the fighting on the eastern battlefield has just begun, and it is not even possible to talk about a full-scale outbreak, so the distribution of benefits after the war is discussed.
Isn't it a little too early?
In any case, it will be too late to discuss the distribution of benefits after the war has broken out in full swing and a decisive victory has been won.
Obviously, Shousuke's call back is what it means.
It's not time to set the rules of the game for the post-war world!
