Chapter 503: Bundle of Interests

The old marshal took out a clean cloth, wiped off some dirt on his reading glasses, nodded and said: "I have my own measure in this matter, I believe that Leng Kite is not a villain, there is no need to fortify too much, not to mention that we still have to rely on her to guard one side, of course, if she really has two hearts, I also have a way to deal with it." ”

Speaking of which, it would be a little unwise to continue, so Zhang Gongbo stopped talking in time: "I believe that the generalissimo has his own clear judgment." ”

Not long after the conversation between the two ended, there was a knock on the door, and then a personable figure walked in, he glanced at the two people in the room, and smiled: "The generalissimo is well, oh?" Lieutenant General Zhang Gongbo is also there? ”

When Zhang Gongbo saw the comer, he replied with a smile: "General Liu Fusu, I am reporting to the generalissimo about the recent affairs, and it has ended, please take care of it." ”

"Okay, thank you." Liu Fusu made an official tone, and did not talk to Zhang Gongbo privately, but walked to the generalissimo's desk, handed over a stack of materials, and said, "Generalissimo, after two years of exploration, we have preliminary results in the planning of the 'Eurasian corridor'. ”

"Oh? Is it so fast? The generalissimo's face showed a look of joy that he had not seen for a long time, took the information and looked at it, and nodded while reading, "Not bad... You have found out the resource points along the way, and as long as this 'Eurasian corridor' is opened, you can firmly bind the oathbreakers and the Cross Church to us! ”

The so-called Asia-Europe Corridor is an economic corridor drawn up by Generalissimo Republican Kazuki himself at the 12th Republican Plenum that was urgently convened after the end of the Far North Conference at the end of the seventh year of the Honkai Dynasty.

Previously, there was often a false signal in Republican Radiance that the Crucifixion, which helped Republican Radiance fight against the beasts in the early days of the Honkai, was an ally.

However, during the Northern Expedition of the 7th year of Honkai, the defection of the Crucifixion shook the minds of many people.

In the Far North Council, Pope Nero II's vacillating political stance made it even more certain that the Crucifixion was not a true ally of the Radiance of the Republic, but a political bloc that moved among the major powers in pursuit of the greatest interests.

In this way, there are two problems before the Republican Radiance, one is how to maintain a superficial relationship with the Crucifixion Church and seek a situation of "two weak against one strong" on the Eurasian continent.

The second is how to find a real ally who can be relied on at critical times.

Under the collision of these two issues, the idea of building an Asia-Europe corridor was born.

The idea behind the construction of this corridor is not complicated, and it is based on the grain trade between the Radiance of the Republic and the Church of the Cross.

In recent years, the food shortage of the Radiance of the Republic has become more and more serious, and it has to import food from the fertile land of the Crusader, but the Crusader grain caravans are often attacked by oathbreakers in the middle of Asia and Europe.

In this way, after the construction of the Eurasian Corridor is completed, the Caravan of the Republic will replace the Caravan of the Crucifixion to complete the trade and escort of grain.

When the Republican Radiance caravan passes through the territory of the Oathbreaker, first of all, the two sides have no enmity or ruthlessness, and will not start a war lightly.

In addition, the Republican Radiance caravan will give some of the food to the oathbreakers, in exchange for the mineral resources unique to the Middle East, and even crude oil.

This is an unimaginable temptation for the oath-breakers who are starved of food, they are in an awkward situation, because of the problem of faith, they have no contact with the Cross Church, and they want to exchange resources and the radiance of the republic for food, and the radiance of the republic does not have enough food to eat, so they are stuck in the middle.

Once the Eurasian Corridor is established, it means that the Radiance of the Republic will receive enough food from the Crucifixion, exchange some of the food and the Oathbreakers for industrial resources, and finally bring both trade goods back home.

In the end, the Cross Church got the money of the Radiance of the Republic, the Oathbreakers got the food of the Cross Church that they could not get from the Glory of the Republic, and the Radiance of the Republic got the food of the Church of the Cross and the industrial resources of the Oathbreakers, which not only formed a stable triangular supply and demand relationship, constituting a "win-win"!

The most important thing is that the Hui of the Republic completely binds the interests of the three together, and it is difficult to shake external forces.

Due to the disillusionment of the so-called "alliance", the Radiance of the Republic no longer trusts the Crucifixion, but they want to maintain a superficial relationship and need someone to contain the Crucifixion, but they do not want to break out into a large-scale war, so after the establishment of the Eurasian Corridor, the Oathbreakers in the middle position play this role well.

For the sake of food, the Oathbreakers will not hesitate to trade resources with the Radiance of the Republic and become a natural barrier against the Crucifixion.

In order to export grain in exchange for money, and at the same time did not want the grain trade caravan to be attacked, the Crusader had to rely on the Republican Radiance caravan to become the main body of trade, in order to safely pass through the territory of the Oathbreaker and reduce the huge defense expenditure.

In this way, the two problems faced by the Radiance of the Republic were solved, not only by maintaining a stable relationship with the Crusader Church, but also by adding a firm trading partner such as the Oathbreaker.

In addition, there is an unexpected surprise, that is, the pathfinders in charge of the construction of the Asia-Europe corridor found that although the oathbreakers betrayed their faith and used despicable methods in combat conflicts, except for a few villains like Blackbeard Richard, the others were very bold and had a nomadic nature of pursuing freedom, and they were very comfortable to get along with.

In the past two years, the relationship between the Radiance of the Republic and the Oathbreakers has warmed up rapidly, and the two forces, which were originally unrelated, are now like glue, which is also unexpected by many people.

The old marshal took up the pen and revised some of the details on the information, handed it back to Liu Fusu, and said seriously: "Fusu, this matter of the TAsia-Europe corridor must be done quickly!" In the past two years, the Inquisition Council has been focusing on the restoration of the Noah's Ark, and has no time to pay attention to the affairs of the various forces, otherwise they would definitely not want to see the interests of the two continents bound. ”

Liu Fusu had already understood what the old marshal meant, he took the information, and said heavily: "Please rest assured, when the Noah's Ark takes off again, the Asia-Europe corridor will already be full of traffic, and it will be too late for them to interfere!" ”

"Just wait for your words, okay, don't delay you, open up the Asia-Europe corridor one second earlier, we will get the first opportunity one second earlier, you can do it quickly." After the old marshal finished speaking, Liu Fusu quickly left the office.

After Liu Fusu left, the old marshal opened a map of the glory of the republic, he squinted at this vast territory, crossed his finger on it, and said profoundly: "The Eurasian corridor in the west has begun to take shape, the Eagle Banner defense line in the north is unstoppable, and the only thing left is the eastern coast..."

The old marshal's old fingers swept across the "co-governance area" on the eastern coast of the republic, and finally stopped at the headquarters of the Asia-Pacific Theater of the Federal Heavy Industry Corps, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and his voice revealed the vicissitudes of life that had never been seen before: "I don't know if I can unify the republic in my lifetime and see the peaceful and prosperous world again..."
