The chaotic situation of the empire also had some impact on the surrounding situation, the Maqi Khans became nervous again, the first army of the Tang Dynasty has entered the peninsula region, and although the Tiger Guard Legion is nothing, but its predecessor is also the Janissary Legion of the Tang River Empire after all, the tiger is mighty, plus there are already three legions in the entire southwest area, and the strength of the troops stationed in this area has reached five legions, if the Tang Dynasty has no intention of launching an attack on the west in a short period of time, then the intention of these five legions is a little suspicious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although the diplomatic department frequently negotiated with the Tang side, and the Tang diplomatic department also swore to the Maqi Khans that it would not be unfavorable to the Maqi Khans, the Maqi Khans still quietly strengthened the deployment of troops in the border areas.

Even more tense is the Nanyang Alliance, although the negotiations with the Tang Empire on the sovereignty of the Marbon Islands have continued, and some consensus has been reached in the later period, but there are still considerable differences between the two sides on the sovereignty of the two main islands. In the early stage, the two sides agreed to put aside their differences for the time being and to discuss the sovereignty of the two important islands after the agreement reached was fulfilled, but seeing the large-scale influx of Tang troops into the peninsula area, and the imperial media were hyping that there would be no more war with the Western Peninsula Alliance for the time being, the parliamentarians of the Nanyang Alliance were a little skeptical that the Tang Army's military action would be a military action to take through the fact that the negotiations had not reached a satisfactory result.

The foreign affairs department of the Nanyang Alliance took the initiative to ask for the resumption of negotiations that had been stalled for a long time, but it made the imperial diplomatic department have a sense of unexpected surprise, the negotiations went very smoothly, the two sides bridged their differences very smoothly on the issue of the sovereignty of the two important islands, and the Tang Empire took the price of 1.2 million imperial gold coins as a compensation for the investment in the early development of the two islands of the Nanyang Alliance in exchange for the absolute sovereignty of the two islands, such a good thing was something that the imperial side had never thought of before, you must know that the two islands are not only geographically important, but also not small in area, and the most important thing is that one of the islands is located in the southernmost part of the Marbun Islands, which is already quite far from the mainland, can be used as the southernmost advance base of the Imperial Navy, and can also be used as a bridgehead for the Empire's exploration of the southern seas.

In fact, after the capture of the Duchy of Soktu, although Suleiman's personal prestige rose to a considerable height, and no one in the allied army doubted her command ability, but the opposition to Suleiman's idea of pursuing the victory and directly attacking Bali and Eastern Samoa was not small, especially the Nan'an, Western Samoans and Sikkimians doubted whether the Peninsula Alliance was deliberately trying to regain the East Peninsula Alliance, which was simply impossible in their eyesThey hope that through this victory, they can force the Tang Empire to make peace and solve the problem through negotiations, like some parliamentarians in Nan'an and Western Samoa even hope to be able to pay some compensation in exchange for a long peace like the Tang Empire, this naïve idea makes Suleiman angry and speechless.

Even within the Peninsula Alliance, there are many people who question Suleiman's idea, the strategic advantage of the Tang Army has not been reduced much because of this defeat, if the Alliance Army rashly enters the East Peninsula region, it may gain the support of the local nostalgic people to a certain extent, but it will inevitably lead to the escalation of the war in the Tang Dynasty, and they also hope to control the war at the current level, and then expand the scale of the war, they also feel unacceptable.

This trend of thought in the Allied army, which Suleiman regarded as an ostrich, was so strong that Suleiman's repeated requests to pursue the victory were rejected by the top political figures of the Alliance, and Nan'an, Western Samoa, and Sikkim also made it clear that they would not support the cross-border attack, and the fighters were lost in vain, and when the Tang Army retreated to Bali and Eastern Samoa to regain a foothold, Suleiman knew that his efforts to reverse the situation had failed.

And when the First Army of the Tang Army and the Tiger Guard Army entered the peninsula one after another, she also knew that the Tang side must be determined to solve the problem by military means, and it is by no means a diplomatic negotiation that can solve the problem. Su Leiman still had a hope at this time, that is, if the Tang Army resumed the war at this time, she could take advantage of the right time and place to fight another beautiful war, but when she found out that the Tang Army had no intention of restarting the war at this time, on the contrary, officials from the Tang Foreign Affairs Department frequently appeared in Nan'an. It was only in Sikkim and even in the territory of the Peninsula Alliance that she realized that her opponents were not as reckless and unintelligent as she thought, and that these despicable Tang people were taking advantage of the fear in the minds of the mentally handicapped politicians in their own camp to launch their diplomatic offensive. This is just a delaying tactic, and when the time is ripe, these Tang troops will make a comeback, but who will believe their own words now? Even if some people are skeptical, they are more willing to pin peace on such illusory negotiations.

The southwest is cloudy, but it has not affected the fighting on the battlefield of Indean, Cui Wenxiu is the third time to secretly inspect the front line of South Indean, the news from the intelligence department that the Luzon seem to be negotiating with the Free Dominion in the hope of getting military support from the Free Dominion, and at the same time sent people to contact the Duchy of Merry in the west, which also aroused Cui Wenxiu's alarm. Although the military strength of the Free Dominion has developed in the past two years, it is not enough to say that it has always had the power to determine the surname, and Cormini's immortal military general Qu Lin joined the Archduke Catherine, but it does not mean that the army of the Free Dominion can become as capable of fighting as Comini's original elite, and the more important thing that can support Frederick is probably financial support.

However, the movements of the Duchy of Merry are quite eye-catching. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Duchy of Merry should be regarded as the most important country on the eastern coast of the Baltic and Aegean Seas, in addition to its unique geography and climate that make it a well-deserved spice country on the continent, its elite army and the national policy of peace and neutrality are also worth paying attention to.

The prosperity of the spice industry has contributed to the prosperity of the Principality of Meli, which accounts for at least half of the spice trade of the entire continent, and its location at the intersection of the Aegean and Baltic Seas also makes its spice trade accessible to all parts of the world. Wealth and prosperity did not make the rulers of the Duchy of Merry let down their vigilance, although their army was not large, but it was quite strong, they had many opportunities to expand their land and sphere of influence, but they all gave up, they just insisted on abiding by their national policy, that is, no one will offend me, I will not offend anyone, as long as it does not endanger its own interests, as long as it does not affect the spice trade, the army of the Duchy of Merly will never step out of the country.

It wasn't that Frederick was unaware of the Merry mentality, but why was he contacting the Merites at this time? Could it be said that the Merleys would change their centuries-old national policy and intervene in wars that had nothing to do with them? No, it seems unlikely. Or was Frederick's financial necessity in dealing with the Rich Continent's Merries? The financial aristocracy and usury merchants of Merry were equally famous for their spices, and the wealth accumulated in the spice industry made the Merites find that the financial industry was no less profitable than the spice industry.

However, although the attention is concerned, Cui Wenxiu will not change his strategy because of anyone's intervention, he has such a powerful army in his hands and can't do whatever he wants, then he can really return to his hometown, the temporary concession to the Hansen Alliance is just to avoid a two-sided war, in order to obtain greater benefits from the Luzon people, Indean belongs to the empire, this criterion has long been embedded in Cui Wenxiu's heart.

The Imperial Eleventh Army has also officially set off for the west, and the Tiger Guard Legion went to the southwest did not affect Cui Wenxiu's mood, Liang Chongxin does need more troops to sit in the southwest, and that night rose seems to be a tricky flower, see how Liang Chongxin picks this flower to ravage. The four Ranger regiments of Luo Pei were finally reorganized and moved south from the Tengger grassland, which made the Hansen League guys nervous again, and their troops in Dexin Province were increasing again, but Cui Wenxiu believed that they were not for provocation, but just a means of self-protection.

The three provinces of Kerman, Ross, and Kunduz were all under the control of the Imperial Army, and the two Luzon-controlled provinces of Cizer and Canata had been encircled, and the armies had already begun to lurk in place for the final war. Intelligence shows that the Luzon have successively transferred a part of the army from South India, but the number is not large, far lower than their original assumptions, it seems that the Free Dominion seems to be willing to die for Frederick, I don't know what kind of benefits Frederick promised to the mercenary Catherine? Could it be that he himself is going to act as a little white face? Cui Wenxiu thought a little dirty.

However, all this does not seem to affect the course of the war, even if Frederick does not transfer a single soldier from South India, Cui Wenxiu will also march into South India, and the intelligence has confirmed that the top leaders of the Hansen Alliance do not intend to fight a war in a short period of time, and the border disputes between their southwest Augsburg Empire and them are raging again, and their eyes have shifted to the southwest. Without the constraints of the Hansen Alliance, Choi Wenxiu planned to have a good game with Crouff, and he had already set his target on the two provinces of Xizer and Canata, but this was only a tactical goal, and the strategic goal was all the Luzon troops in South India under the hands of Crouff.
