Qin Xiaobai did not immediately make a statement on the words of blood killing, but looked at a world map. 【】

The Moroccan battlefield and the Suez Canal battlefield, one in Africa and the other in Central Asia, are in a very critical strategic position. These two battlefields respectively involve the contest between the three major global bloc forces: the European bloc, the African bloc, and the Middle East bloc.

Qin Xiaobai also knew these two battlefields.

Morocco, on the south side of the Strait of Gibraltar and Spain on the north side of the Strait of Gibraltar, are separated by the 12-kilometre-wide Strait of Gibraltar. Spain is a Western European country, Morocco is an African country, and the players of the two countries are safe and sound across the strait, and they can't fight.

However, in the northernmost part of Morocco in "Imperial Expedition", near the Strait of Gibraltar, there is a small peninsula called "Ceuta", which is occupied by Spanish players. On the map of Spain, there is a "Gibraltar" peninsula at the southernmost point of the country, near the Strait of Gibraltar, which is occupied by British players.

Moroccan players were not willing to accept this important small peninsula to be occupied by Spanish players, and the country's players quickly attacked the Ceuta Peninsula during the Bronze Age, expelling the Spanish players, thus forming a grudge with the Spanish players.

The shipbuilding industry in the Bronze Age was not yet reached, and Moroccan players had a strong 6th Army, far superior to Spanish players on the Ceuta Peninsula. The Spanish player suffered a crushing defeat under the Moroccan offensive and withdrew from the southern side of the Strait of Gibraltar.

Similarly, the Spanish players were very dismissive of the British players who occupied the "City of Gibraltar" and expelled the British players. British players withdrew from the "Gibraltar" peninsula, and players from West and Britain formed a feud.

After entering the Iron Age, Spanish players began to vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry. Actively forming a Spanish fleet in an attempt to recapture the "Ceuta" peninsula from Moroccan players. Britain was also actively building the British Imperial Fleet in an attempt to recapture the Gibraltar Peninsula from Spain.

The Strait of Gibraltar is the only passage from the western Pacific to the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, and its strategic importance can be ranked among the top five in the world. The Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea are inland seas between European powers and countries in the Middle East and Africa, and the competition is far more fierce than China's South China Sea.

British, Portuguese, German and other national and ground fleets. All in the Atlantic. The fleets of various countries needed to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar to enter the Mediterranean. And the ground fleets of France, Russia, Italy, Ukraine, Greece, Turkey, Libya and other countries are in the Mediterranean. One needs to cross the Strait of Gibraltar to enter the Atlantic Ocean.

The strait is only 12 kilometers wide. As long as a few ground batteries with a range of 12 kilometers are erected on either side of the strait. can completely block the entire Strait of Gibraltar. so that the outside fleet cannot enter. The inner ground fleet can't get out. It is not difficult for a cannon to reach this range. Now the French ground bronze cannon is already capable of firing at a distance of 5 km. It is believed that it will soon reach 12 kilometers.

The United Kingdom is an Atlantic island country. Drifting outside the hegemony of the Big 6 in Western Europe. British players want to meddle in Europe and the Middle East. The peninsula of Gibraltar had to be recaptured from the Spanish fleet. Only then could the British fleet enter the Mediterranean. Only then can they have the right to speak on the affairs around the Mediterranean.

France, Turkey, and Russia are the six hegemons in Western Europe. Their own struggle for hegemony in the Mediterranean is already very fierce. I don't want the ambitious country of Britain to come and meddle in the affairs of the Mediterranean. If Britain could be blocked out of the Strait of Gibraltar. The best.

With the active support of the French fleet. The Spanish and British fleets clashed fiercely. Scramble for the Gibraltar Peninsula. Russia did not want to see the British fleet take control of the Strait of Gibraltar. But also did not want to see the French fleet take control of the Strait of Gibraltar. Always oscillating between the two countries.

With the support of players from various countries in Africa. The Moroccan fleet went to war with the Spanish fleet again. Scramble for the Ceuta Peninsula.

This was originally a territorial feud between Morocco, Spain, and the United Kingdom, but when it came to control of the Strait of Gibraltar, the Mediterranean, and even more so the hegemony in the world of Empire, it quickly turned into a conflict within the Western European bloc, and a chaotic war between the Western European bloc and the African bloc.

Spain has a part of European player support, the United Kingdom also has a European country support, Morocco also has African country player support, and the three-country player fleet is a mess around this strait, and dozens of players from neighboring countries are involved in it. Among them, the large countries include Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Turkey and other countries, and there are countless small countries. Naval battles, 6 battles on board. Cold weapons, hot weapons, almost everything.

Players from various countries are constantly forming alliances, and once the power of each country is unbalanced, they continue to tear up the alliance and re-form the Xindi Alliance. Although the African bloc is weaker, the players of Western European countries are not united as a monolith, and this battle is sometimes fought.

Qin Xiaobai looked at the Strait of Gibraltar on the map and sneered in his heart. A small stretch of the Strait of Gibraltar. It involved a considerable part of the strength of the European fleet and the African fleet. If China pours a couple of handfuls of oil on it. I'm afraid this fire will burn even brighter.

However, the Chinese fleet wanted to go to the Strait of Gibraltar. If you mix in the Moroccan battlefield, the distance is too far.

One route is from the Strait of Malacca, to Sri Lanka, through the Indian Ocean, the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea, to the Suez Canal in Egypt, and then from the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean Sea, to the Strait of Gibraltar, a total of 13,000 kilometers. This route is the closest navigation route to Morocco, and it has to pass through the territory of the Arab countries in the Middle East and the European power in the Mediterranean, and the Egyptian fleet, the French fleet, and the Turkish fleet are very densely distributed on this route, and it is very unsafe. It is almost impossible for the Chinese fleet to go to Morocco from this route.

The other route is from the Strait of Malacca, to the Indian Ocean island country of Mauritius, through the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, into the Atlantic Ocean, and along the west coast of the six major African countries to Morocco, with a total sea distance of 20,000 kilometers. Although this route is a bit farther, it only needs to pass through the territory of African influences, and as long as China and African countries are on good terms, it is safer.

But no matter which route you go from, the distance is too far for the current sailing ships to adapt to such a long voyage, and it is very uneconomical.

Although Qin Xiaobai had the heart to pour fuel on this battlefield, he also felt powerless.

In contrast, it is much easier to maneuver the Suez Canal battlefield.

Qin Xiaobai set his sights on the Suez Canal. This is an inner 6 shipping river excavated by Egyptian players, which took several months, cost countless money, and used BSP; This canal, at the junction of the African Big 6 and the Asian Big 6, is between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The opening of the nearest shipping line between the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean, the Black Sea and the Atlantic Ocean also changed the strategic pattern of the Mediterranean in one fell swoop.

At the beginning of the game, players from the seven countries of Arabia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine jointly launched a fierce attack on Israel. Israel perished in less than a week, was destroyed in Empires, Palestine was restored, and Israeli players fled to Western Europe by boat. Jerusalem is back in the hands of the Palestinian player.

Immediately, players from all over Europe, under the call of the Holy See and with the generous support of Israeli players, launched the 6th Crusader Army and Naval Expedition in an attempt to recapture the holy city of Jerusalem.

Player armies from various European countries put aside their differences and flock to Palestine. And they went out from 6 and by sea against Palestine.

Before the opening of the Suez Canal, Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, the four Middle Eastern countries, as well as the Mediterranean countries, were under military pressure from the fleets of European countries alone.

After the opening of the canal, the fleets of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen, Oman and other Arab countries will also be able to enter the Mediterranean Sea to support Egypt, Palestine and other countries, greatly enhancing the strength of the fleets of Arab countries.

Despite this, the fleets of the Arab countries remained absolutely weak in the Mediterranean. If it weren't for the fact that the 6th Army of the Middle East countries was still quite strong, I am afraid that Palestine would have been recaptured by the Crusaders and turned back into the territory of Israeli players.

The Suez Canal and Palestine, are two grasshoppers on one rope. If control of the Suez Canal is seized by European countries, Palestine will not be able to hold on for long.

Qin Xiaobai stared at the canal on the map and thought about it for a long time.

"The battlefield of the Suez Canal is closer and easier to operate than the battlefield of Gibraltar. However, it is not easy to make a profit on this battlefield. The question of whether Arab players will accept us into the game is a question. ”

The sheep smiled: "What kind of problem is this, as long as the Arab countries are beaten badly by Europe, they will definitely find foreign aid." Who but China, can give them strong enough support? Although I don't know much about war, this common sense is clear. ”

Nameless shook his head and said, "The question is whether we can make a profit on this battlefield while avoiding our own involvement. Like the war between Pakistan and India, we were involved too deeply, and as a result, we lost our capital, and we still can't get out. The Japanese battlefield is better, we only sell weapons to both sides, and we can make some profits. This battlefield cannot be turned into a second India-Pakistan battlefield. ”

Bloodkill and Sheep both felt this deeply and nodded in agreement.

Blood Kill looked at Qin Xiaobai and said with a smile: "Boss, what do you think?" ”

Qin Xiaobai turned his head to look at the three of them, nodded slightly, and said, "That's it, our goal is to meddle in the Suez Canal battlefield and Jerusalem." Let's see who can stand on the commanding heights of world hegemony in the Middle East, the most gunpowder-smelling world, the European bloc, the Arab bloc, or the North American bloc! ”
