Cui Wenxiu's suggestion made Shah Yin can't help but swallow his saliva, the West Oran Kingdom and the Principality of Merry do not have such a complicated relationship, although the two countries have close economic exchanges, but it is a fair trade of eight hundred real money and silver, especially the huge demand for spices makes the West Oran Kingdom negotiate with the tax department of the Principality of Merry, and the territory is only bordered by the northwest corner and the southeast corner of the Principality of Merly, it can be said that the West Oran Kingdom still has some peeps on the Principality of Merly to a large extent, but due to the relationship between the Kingdom of Deland and the Principality of Merry, as well as the strength of the Principality of Merly itself, the Kingdom of West Oran does not have the ability to realize its ideas for the time beingBut now such a great opportunity is too tempting, Shah Yin subconsciously turned his gaze to Muniz beside him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing the beads of sweat on Muniz's cheeks, his face pale as if he had suffered a huge blow, Shahin also sympathized with his close friend, once this matter was exposed, it would not only ruin Muniz's reputation, but also greatly damage the credibility of the kingdom of Deland, compared to his own side, he would not have so many scruples.

Cappadocia is the most important region of South Meli, compared to the Tih Plateau and Diyarbakir region, it can be said that the Tih Plateau and Diyarbakir together are not comparable to Cappadocia, which is one of the most famous spice-producing areas in the Principality of Meli, its spice production is second only to the Anatolian Plain, and the Giresun region, and the three places are called the three main spice-producing areas of the Principality of Meli.

If the Cappadocia region can be controlled in its hands, the West Oran Kingdom will no longer need to import spices at all, and can even export them, where can such a good thing be found? What's more, if there is still half of the Caria region, if it is bounded by the Sey River and Lake Kebain, and the east is returned to the Kingdom of West Oran, then the rich copper ore in the East Caria region will also bring considerable profits to the kingdom, and Shahin is already fantasizing about whether His Majesty will canonize himself as a Marquis in recognition of his outstanding contribution to this diplomatic activity.

"Mr. Muniz, I see that you and Mr. Shahin can discuss it, I can understand your distress, but as a collaborator, I need to remind you that you cannot damage the interests of your motherland because of personal selfish interests or so-called reputation, the interests of the country are above all else, I believe that anyone can understand your feelings, your decision is very important, it will affect the interests of your motherland, I will respect your choice. Choi Wenxiu further tightened the looper.

Shahein secretly cursed Cui Wenxiu, this guy just put forward the kind of idea that makes his heart flutter, and now he has come to be a good person to persuade Muniz, isn't this to make himself happy in vain? It's just that Shahein also knows that his old friend is determined, and if he decides, he will definitely not change, and now it depends on his final decision.

Muniz is really in pain, and the eyes of Shahin, who is eyeing him fiercely, are wandering around him, as long as his intention to refuse is revealed, he is afraid that he will take the place of the West Oran Kingdom, and if the Deland Kingdom does not send troops, at most it can only obtain West Caria, and the East Caria and Cappadocia regions will become the land of the West Oran Kingdom, how can this be explained to the kingdom?

"Your Excellency, do you mean that there is no room for negotiation now?" The deep voice seemed to be full of rupture, and Munitz's eyes were deep, and his fingers unconsciously twisted something.

"Mr. Muniz, I think this should be our greatest concession, and it is an unbreakable truth that anyone who wants to gain benefits must have something to pay, and if you think about the fertile Cappadocia and Caria, you should be well aware of this kind of opportunity. Cui Wenxiu reminded the other party with a smile.

"Your Excellency, I think you are more fit to be a diplomat or a statesman than a soldier, and you think more like a politician. With a deep breath, Muniz replied in a dull voice.

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, it's a pity that I prefer the profession of a soldier. Cui Wenxiu didn't seem to hear anything. "It seems that Mr. Muniz has already made a decision, which is good, and I will respect your choice regardless of it." But I would like to remind you that once Delan decides to send troops, remember to do so before the allotted time, otherwise I will not admit that they should have been gained. ”

On August 7, 700 years of the mainland Gregorian calendar, the 20,000 troops of the West Oran Kingdom crossed the border line from the northwest border, entered the Tih Plateau in the southeast of the Principality of Meli, and quickly controlled the Tih Plateau, and quickly advanced to the Diyarbakir area along the line of Lake Hoyalan。

On August 9, another army of the kingdom of Deland suddenly crossed the border from the south, reached the unsuspecting region of Caria, and captured Kefaloka, the capital of Caria and an important port in the south of the Duchy of Meli.

Without any warning, the Kingdom of West Oran and the Kingdom of Delan suddenly sent troops to attack the southern region of the Principality of Merry, which plunged the Principality of Merry into complete chaos, and no one understood that the allies of the past would suddenly send troops to stab themselves in the back when they needed help the most, and the shock and impact were even more far-reaching than the Tang Army's total annihilation of the Merly army in the Battle of Xize. When the news came that the Kingdom of West Oran and the Kingdom of Deland had jointly sent troops to the south of the Duchy of Meli, the Duke of Meli immediately announced his abdication in Luxor, and before abdicating, he announced that he accepted the Tang Army's request to surrender, and ordered the Merry Army stationed in the northern region to lay down their arms to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

On August 12, the advance force of the Don Army entered the Paphlagonia region, and on the same day entered Bejkoz, the capital of the Pavlaconia region, which was the most important port and the largest city in the northern part of the Principality of Meli. On August 14, the main forces of the Don army entered Bejkoz and did not stop after taking over the Pavlaconia region, and continued to move rapidly southward, and after crossing the Keroğlu mountains, the troops split into two routes.

The west road entered the Thrace region, on August 17, the main force of the Tang army arrived at the capital of the Thrace region and the capital of the Duchy of Merry, but the Tang army did not enter Luxor, but one part was stationed outside the city of Luxor, and the other part continued south into the Giresson region, and encountered the first resistance after entering the Duchy of Merry in Kütahya near Lake Aksehir, and a 10,000-strong Merli army was routed and captured the Earl Kemal, a nobleman of the principality who disobeyed the orders of the Grand Duke of York.

On August 18, it occupied the Anatolian capital, the second largest city in the country, located in Yozgat on the shore of Lake Tuz, which is the most famous spice processing center in the whole continent, where more than 30 percent of the spices in the whole continent are roughed and then transferred to various places, and the Tang soldiers who entered Yozgat were intoxicated by a strange aroma.

According to Cui Wenxiu's agreed time, on August 20, 700 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the three [***] teams met at the Kizilin Pass in the middle of the Taurus Mountains. On August 21, Cui Wenxiu arrived at the city of Luxor and received the surrender letter submitted by the Grand Convention Duke of Meli outside the city, and the Duchy of Meli was officially declared extinct.

On August 22, Cui Wenxiu announced the establishment of the Meili Provisional Special Administrative Region of the Tang Empire in Luxor, and he concurrently served as the chief consul of the Provisional Special Administrative Region, waiting for the empire's next step to clarify the administrative status of the Meili region before making a decision. On August 25, Marquis Ralfren, the former naval commander of the Duchy of Merry, formally handed over the command of the Merry Navy and control of the Spolades Islands to Cui Wenxiu.

The Sporades Islands are located in the 100 nautical miles off the coast of the former Principality of Merry, which is distributed in a north-south strip, stretching from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Aegean Sea in the south, and the islands at the north and south ends reach more than 500 nautical miles at the farthest distance, which is longer than the mainland of the Principality of Melly, and there are more than 100 islands. The westernmost island of Samothrace is only 1,200 nautical miles away from Constantine, and the islands of Karpathos and Ikaria, the islands of Summers and Sine in the center, and the island of Gokche in the north are all important islands in the sea area, and of course the most important island is the largest and cloves-rich island in Lesvos, which is also the most famous clove oil refining center.

The naval strength of the Duchy of Merry is much stronger than that of the army, but for the Constantines who are active in the Aegean and Baltic Seas, the navy of the Duchy of Merly is undoubtedly too far apart, and the pirate forces supported by the Constantines in this region are also extremely rampant.

Cui Wenxiu does not value the navy of the Principality of Merry, but it is quite important for him to obtain the Spolades Islands, an important base in the Aegean and Baltic Seas, with the westward expansion of the imperial power, this sea area will become an important place of competition for the empire, and now it is only necessary to lay a good foundation, this will be a huge gathering point of interests of the empire, and the empire also has the opportunity to come here to show its style.
