Will the Nuland Navy send an aircraft carrier task force to attack Dongdu Bay?

To say that when it came to the stage of operational planning, Bai Zhizhan did not consider this issue at all.

More than a month ago, that is, when the Narrow Imperial Kingdom announced its surrender, Bai Zhizhan urgently returned to the imperial capital, and after proposing to use this matter to trap the Nuland Navy, he also had an in-depth discussion with Xue Yuanzheng.

At that time, he asked a very pointed question: Why did the Luosha Federation oppose water?

In fact, Bai Zhizhan has never figured out the reason for the Luosha Federation's rebellion.

Is it better to join the Alliance?

Apparently not!

Either way, joining the Allies may not have a better chance of winning than staying in the Entente.

As mentioned many times before, the only result of the Luosha Federation's defection is to become a mortal enemy of the Liangxia Empire and the Riman Empire. Even if you put aside the emotional component and start purely from practical interests, that is, to keep the Juman Empire, the Liangxia Empire will use heavy troops to destroy the Luosha Federation.

To put it directly, the importance of the huge land battlefield is on a par with the Guia battlefield with the Luosha Federation's rebellion.

Theoretically, as long as the Liang Xia Empire is willing to contribute, it will not be a problem to defeat the Luosha Federation.

A few decades ago, when the Liang Xia Empire was first founded, it was able to rely on its not strong national strength to fight all the way to the outside of Yebao, so that Emperor Luosha signed an alliance under the city, and cut off millions of square kilometers of land in one fell swoop. Up to now, with the world's largest industrial strength, the world's largest land area, the world's largest population, and the hatred that has accumulated for decades, the Liangxia Empire is still afraid that it will not be able to defeat the Luosha Federation?

What does the Luosha Federation gain by being defeated before the final victory is achieved?

What happened in the Imperial Kingdom of Narrow Empire has proven that modern warfare is very cruel, and the defeated side loses more than just the face lost when signing the surrender agreement.

Since there is nothing to be gained, or more benefits to be obtained, why does the Luosha Federation still oppose the water?

At that time, Xue Yuanzheng did not give an explanation, but only told Bai Zhizhan that people are governed by feelings, and the same is true for countries and nations composed of people.

In addition to feelings, there are also interests that can affect feelings.

It was also half a month later that the Sixth Bureau got information related to the Luosha Federation's anti-water.

To say, in addition to the feelings determined by people, the price offered by the Newland Federation and the Bran Kingdom does have a temptation that no one can resist.

The first is to abolish all the unequal treaties that were forced by other powers to sign after the "Battle of Atai".

This alone would be equivalent to the return of more than 6 million square kilometers of land east of Yenisei Balkash and about 1.5 million square kilometers of land in the middle of the huge continent, and the land area of the Rosa Federation would swell to 15 million square kilometers.

Second, the recognition of the sovereignty claims of the Rosa Federation over the vassal states of the Empire.

All the countries that split off from the collapse of the Luosha Empire in the latter part of the last war were all reincorporated into the territory of the Luosha Federation.

In this way, the Federation will also add about 2 million square kilometers of land and 40 million people.

Crucially, the increase in population is mainly on the western side of the continent

With these lands and populations, especially the population, the Luosha Federation will become the number one overlord of the Western Continent!

The Nuland Federation also unilaterally promised to return the Arras region occupied in the latter part of the "Liang Luo War" to the Luo Sha Federation after the end of the war.

This is 1.7 million square kilometers of land in the northwest of the isolated continent!

Crucially, the ownership of the Arras region has always been disputed, not only by the Luosha Federation, but also by the Liangxia Empire.

Although long before the Battle of Atai, that is, after the outbreak of the war with the Liangxia Empire, the Luosha Empire planned to sell the Arras region, which was definitely undefensible, the proceeds from the sale of land could also make up for the huge deficit caused by the war, and at the same time save the cost of maintaining the local garrison. At that time, only the Newland Federation expressed its willingness to buy, but before the two sides could negotiate, the Luosha Empire was defeated.

It stands to reason that the Arras region was also east of Yenisei-Balkas, so according to the treaty signed by the two sides, it should have been owned by the Liangxia Empire.

If this is the case, the Liangxia Empire will become the only country to have territory in both the Great Continent and the Lonely Continent.

Unfortunately, before the signing of the armistice treaty between the Liangxia Empire and the Luosha Empire, to be precise, before the legislatures of both sides ratified the armistice treaty, the Nuland Federation quickly sent troops to capture and control the Arras region, and also swept the islands in the Guia Ocean to complete the occupation.

By the time the Liangxia Empire reacted, the raw rice had already been cooked.

The key point is that the Liangxia Empire was not strong enough at that time, and the navy had not yet developed, so it was not capable of expeditions, let alone defeat the Nuland army, which was waiting for work.

There is no reason to talk about it between the great powers at all, it only depends on whose fist is bigger.

In addition, the war with the Luosha Empire had only ended, and the Liangxia Empire could not immediately launch the next war.

Under the circumstances, it was not realistic to give up.

To put it bluntly, if the Liang Xia Empire swallowed this bitter fruit, then the victory that took more than ten years of fierce fighting would be overshadowed.

For a moment, the two sides were tense.

After months of stalemate, each gave way.

The Nuland Federation paid for the purchase of the Arras region at twice the price negotiated with the Luosha Empire.

A total of NZ$15 million.

At the time, this was a lot of money.

In fact, the Liang Xia Empire, which had just ended a bitter war, needed this huge amount of money.

It's just that the Nuland Federation paid the money to the Luosha Empire, and then the Luosha Empire paid compensation to the Liangxia Empire, as an indemnity that could not fully honor the armistice treaty.

From an after-view perspective, the 15 million New Zealand dollars had irreplaceable value in the early days of industrial construction in the Liangxia Empire.

Crucially, the New Zealand dollar is a hard currency that can be used directly to buy industrial equipment from other powers.

It's just that the Nuland Federation made a request.

This is what was mentioned earlier, the Liangxia Empire promised not to carry out modern development and construction in the Far North and Far East regions seized through the war, that is, the Far East regions seized from the Luosha Empire, and the period was 99 years, which was not abolished until the 152nd year of the new calendar, 99 years after the outbreak of the Liangluo War.

The Nuland Federation also promised that after 152 years of the new calendar, the residents of Arras would decide for themselves the final ownership.

It is up to the local residents to vote whether to remain in the Newland Federation or return to the Liangxia Empire.

Of course, at the time, this promise did not make much sense.

All in all, the Arras region fell into the hands of the Nuland Federation.

Now, the Nuland Federation has made a unilateral commitment, which is not only tempting, but also a clear expression of its sincerity in wanting to form an alliance with the Locke Federation.

The kingdom of Bran also showed its sincerity.

After the end of the war, the Bran Kingdom will not only withdraw its troops from the Boi State, but also ask the Rosa Federation to promise not to annex this former vassal state and give it independent status, and also promise to give the Rosa Federation an enclave on the eastern shore of the Luxinhai, that is, the Republic of There or the Syria region to the south.

Of course, it's more likely to be the latter.

The point is that after the last war, the region became an overseas territory of the Locke Republic, which had been defeated by the Hindan Empire.

There is naturally nothing to be stingy with generosity.

The Nuland Federation and the Bran Kingdom have offered such an astonishing price, and it is strange that the Luosha Federation is not moved! 8)
