320 Next Opponent
Just when Pakistan's war to regain territory was in full swing, Hojing, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty thousands of miles away, had already begun to study the next war. The kingdom of the nine king-level players and princes is the council, which has been trying to solve an important strategic problem - who is the enemy and who are the allies.
The answer to this question is not static, but changes from moment to moment. As soon as the circumstances change, the answer will change immediately. This was followed by the adjustment of specific war strategies.
Four or five months ago, the number one opponent of Chinese players was the Russian Far East principality and the Siberian principality, and the second opponent was the Japanese archipelago. The Russian Far East and Siberia have small populations but inexhaustible natural resources, while Japan has abundant NPC manpower, and the combination of the two is enough to shake the foundation of Chinese players in the three northeastern provinces.
In order to strangle the threat of the north, the Chinese players of the three major vassal states of Yan, Zhao, and Qin joined forces to fight the Far East and Siberian Wars. From the moment Qin Xiaobai led his army to occupy the military port of Vladivostok, the connection between Russia and Japan was severed. The Russian Far East and Siberia players were outnumbered, and the follow-up was weak, and they began to collapse, and they were completely defeated and withdrew from the Far East and Siberia.
By now, the Russians had withdrawn from Siberia and retreated to the area west of the Ob River and east of the Ural Mountains, defending against the heavy fortress of Omsk. The Chinese Qin and Zhao players, on the other hand, were active in the city of Siberia east of the Ob River.
In this place, it is far from the base camps of both sides, and the military strength of both sides has reached the limit. It will be difficult for Russian Muscovite players to mobilize troops across the Ural Mountains for a counteroffensive. Coupled with the containment of various European countries, Russia did not dare to devote its strength to the eastward counteroffensive. Chinese players will also have difficulty traversing the Siberian permafrost and continue to push forward. Moreover, the center of gravity of China's expansion of power shifted to the sea, and after the defeat of the Russian Principality of Siberia, it was not very active in advancing on the 6 grounds.
Players from both countries are locked in a stalemate on this land, with intermittent wars and only occasional skirmishes.
After the collapse of the Russian Far East and the Siberian Principalities, they ceased to be the number one enemy of Chinese players.
On the opposite side of the East China Sea, the Japanese archipelago is separated by nearly 1,000 kilometers of water. Immediately jumped from the No. 2 opponent to the number one opponent, and also became the focus of Chinese players.
The six princes of Yan, Qi, Wu, Chu, Wei, and Lu joined forces to manipulate the cross-sea war against Japan. This war was not only involving Chinese players, but also North and South Korean players on the Korean Peninsula, and by the way, players from Southeast Asian countries were brought together to form the Asian Covenant Organization.
The facts show. The Japanese players did not show any greater military talent than the Russian players, and they did not last long under the strong attacks of the Chinese players, and the Japanese naval fleet was confined to the Japanese islands and was half-crippled. The wars between China and Russia and Japan ended, and both Russia and Japan were reduced to low-level opponents and no longer posed a significant threat to the security of Chinese players. Russia's main power in the European part is still intact, only too far from China. Unable to fight. Japan, on the other hand, has truly lost its combat capability, and half of the islands have been occupied by the coalition forces of the Yayo organization.
Russia and Japan are no longer a threat. Immediately after the opponent. It has become the second largest place in South Asia, India.
India's potential strength. To some extent, it even passed the Russian Far East and Japan. There are abundant NPC manpower. There is a vast land. Fertile land is cultivated to feed the population. And there are a large number of mineral deposits and other resources. It has the advantages of both the Russian Far East and Japan. It avoids the shortcomings of the two countries. Most importantly, it is. It is the second largest 6 in South Asia. in the Indian Ocean. Far from China and Western Europe. There are no powerful countries around it that can threaten it.
The only regret is. Indian players are not very strong.
Facing a weak opponent in the Indian Ocean. India appears to be extremely powerful. But once it comes up against a strong opponent like China. This shows its great shortcoming: the lack of strong and efficient organization. The wrist is not strong enough. The willpower of war is also not strong enough.
India is like a bloated, fat, and sluggish giant. It looks like a force of the Titanic. But he couldn't adapt to the kind of violent collision in the ring. And China. It's like a sharp-eyed person. Muscle reach. Athletic fitness. And he is holding a sharp weapon, a strong man in the subway tower.
The two strong collide. Indian players are playing against Chinese players. Swiftly fell to the downwind. Unable to adapt to this change. It is also difficult to turn the situation around.
After the Chinese fleet sailed out of the Indian Ocean. After taking root in Sri Lanka and supporting Pakistan in regaining territory. India's influence in the Indian Ocean began to decline rapidly. The strength of Indian players is only limited to 6 lands, and the ocean will no longer belong to Indian players. Even players in the Middle East and the Indian Ocean no longer need to look at the faces of Indian players.
The competitors of Chinese players, from the Russian Far East principality in close proximity, to Japan thousands of miles away, and then to India in the Indian Ocean, tens of thousands of miles away, are gradually moving away from China and farther away.
In East Asia, the vast majority of opponents have been wiped out by Chinese players, and the rest are basically allies. In the Indian Ocean, most countries other than India have begun to transform into allies of China.
If nothing else, India will be forced to withdraw from Pakistani territory under the joint military action of China, Pakistan and the five major Middle Eastern powers. The Chinese players also have no intention of occupying India proper, as long as India withdraws from Pakistani territory, then the Indo-Pakistani war will end.
The nine king-level vassal states are the player representatives of the major princes at the meeting, and they are fiercely debating a question - who is the next enemy and who is the next ally?
These player representatives represent the interests and will of the nine king-level princes, and debate under the instruction of the princes.
Counting up, there are not many people who are qualified to compete with Chinese players now.
After all, Chinese players already control vast areas from the Arctic Ocean, to Mongolia, to the Korean Peninsula, to Southeast Asia and Australia. China's own strength, as well as dozens of small brother countries of the Asiatic Organization, such as North Asia, East Asia, and South Asia, are already China's absolute sphere of influence, and they have been deeply involved in Central Asia. With Pakistan as an ally, Chinese players can easily exert influence in Central Asia. And gradually influence and control the countries of Central Asia.
In addition to China's sphere of influence, there are also six major spheres of influence: Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa.
Chinese players can only choose enemies and allies from the other five circles of influence. India is now alone, not a threat to China, but a potential ally that China needs to try to woo.
These five circles of influence. Half will be enemies, so to speak, and half will be allies.
The reason is simple, the European sphere of influence is invading the Middle East sphere of influence. European players have been on the Crusades for half a year, and players from various European countries have formed their own Crusades and Maritime Crusades, constantly riding horses or boats on 6 Palestinian land, and fighting for control of Jerusalem and the Suez Canal with Middle Eastern power circles.
In addition, more than a dozen European fleets, including the Spanish fleet, the Portuguese fleet, the British fleet, the French fleet, and the Italian fleet, are also frequently invading African spheres of influence in an attempt to establish colonies on the African Big 6. When China is picking up Japan and India. They did not waste any time and expanded the sphere of influence of the European bloc.
The European sphere of influence can be described as very active and aggressive.
Of course. In Empires, players in Africa and the Middle East are not vulnerable, and they are not weak, even strong, and do not allow European players to succeed easily.
The choice for Chinese players is simple, either an alliance with the European sphere of influence, or an alliance with the Middle East sphere of influence and the African sphere of influence. Once one side is chosen as an ally, the other side must be the enemy.
The U.S. and Canadian armies in North America are also actively invading South America in an attempt to dismantle the Union of South America. Control of South America large 6. Players in South America are also actively fighting back against the invasion of North America. North America is very strong, but the South American Union is not easy to mess with, and the two sides are killing each other.
The choice of Chinese players is very simple, either they will form an alliance with North America and carve up the South American Big 6. Either ally with South America and strike at the United States and Canada in North America.
From the perspective of the pattern of the whole world, a pattern is being formed in which the European bloc Vs the Middle East bloc and the African bloc, the North American bloc vs the South American bloc, and the East Asian bloc sit back and watch the war.
China's sphere of influence is currently in the best position. For the time being, there are no other five major power circles colliding and fighting together.
There was a brief exchange of fire between China and Russia in the Far East and Japan, but Russia and Japan have been defeated and the war has ceased to exist, so there is no cause for concern. Indian players are now struggling in the quagmire of the Indo-Pakistani war, and they are not really fighting with Chinese players. Although there were many small wars around China, there were no collisions with other large spheres of influence.
The situation in front of Chinese players is very favorable, and the only thing left to do is to pick enemies and allies from the other five circles of influence. Either directly enter the two-level battlefield, or. Continue to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
China as a qualified "Empire" hegemony. And the level powers that are trying to gain hegemony in "Empire" don't have much to choose from.
One way to do this is to fight and weaken the other strong. Supporting and co-opting the weak is the best principle for reaching the pinnacle of power. This principle can be simply called "hoeing the strong and helping the weak", and the unusually simple but extremely practical strategy that China has summed up since ancient times can be applied to most areas of competition. From the grassroots to the imperial elite, they all like to use this strategy.
The second method is to join forces with other strong forces, attack and embezzle other weak ones, and avoid strong forces fighting each other, which is called "strong alliance".
Both of these techniques have a large number of successes and failures. If you plan to monopolize interests, then it is best to "hoe the strong and help the weak", kill all the other strong, and only enjoy hegemony for yourself. If you plan to share the benefits equally with others, then you can "join forces". Or alternate between the two.
At present, in the game, the two major circles of influence in Europe and North America are in a strong offensive position, and the three major circles of influence in the Middle East, Africa, and South America are in a weak defense. China is temporarily neutral, in a period of rapid expansion, and has not yet encountered a strong opponent.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was a parliament, and the controversial question is whether the Chinese side should adopt the strategy of "hoeing the strong and helping the weak" to fight Europe and North America, or should it adopt the strategy of "strong alliance" and carve up the Middle East, Africa, and South America with the United States and Europe?
Which country, listed as China's number one adversary, has become a priority target?
Emotionally speaking, "hoeing the strong and helping the weak" is in line with the moral habits and psychological superiority of the Chinese. Most of China's leaders and ordinary players are sympathetic to players in the Middle East, Africa, and South America, and dissatisfied with European and North American players who are constantly invading the Middle East, Africa, and South America. Aggressive and deceptive is so much that it is disgusted by most ordinary Chinese players. Chinese players are happy to be heroes and help players from the Middle East, Africa and South America against European and American players.
From a practical point of view, if China has a full-scale confrontation with Europe and North America, it is not in the interests of Chinese player organizations. This will result in the loss of a large number of trade orders from the two major player groups, and a direct loss of a large part of the profits. Moreover, the confrontation with Europe and North America will cause serious losses to the Chinese side.
The country is the council, and the representatives of the nine princes and players have held several big debates, and there are many people who hold both views, but the other side has not been able to convince the other.
