"Your Majesty, the countries of the Western Continent are not monolithic, in the final analysis, in the New World, they can gather to exert pressure on the empire, it is also because there are some common interests, but we all know that the powerful forces of the Western Continent are intertwined, and the relationship between all parties is complicated, there are hundreds of years of old enemies and grudges, as well as the marriage of the royal family, in this case, although the powers of the Western Continent have begun to turn their attention to the New World, their fundamental interests are still on the Western Continent itself, especially the enemy who may shake their fundamental can only be the enemy on the Western Continent, and the New World can be regarded as an overseas interest hunting ground for them at most。 Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Some of the loss of interest hunting grounds can be made up, but once it is shaken at all, it may endanger the survival of the country, at this point, the empire has an innate advantage, no country in the eastern continent can shake and provoke the absolute authority of the empire, and the middle continent is not to mention, so the minister thinks that the empire only needs to choose one or two countries to form a strategic alliance on the partition of the new continent, and the empire can also rest assured that it can boldly expand its power in the new continent, as long as the powers of the western continent cannot unite, it will not be able to pose a substantial threat to the empire's interests in this land。 ”

Su Qin's words were to the root, the relationship between the powers of the Western Continent was still hostile and distrustful of each other in nature, and the conflict of fundamental interests on the Western Great Road determined that their cooperation in the New World was also fragile, and they only needed to take more means in diplomacy to completely dissolve their alliances, and even win some allies for the empire.

"Well, there is some truth in Brother Su's words, as long as we can crack the alliance of the Western Continent powers, one or two countries will not be able to pose a threat to the interests of the empire in the New World, and we can even explicitly propose to expel those unfriendly countries and share the benefits of the New World with our allies. Ling Tian nodded in approval.

"Brother Bo, this is my shallow opinion, why don't you tell me your opinion again. Su Qin smiled slightly, and extended his hand to signal Bo Jinchen to express his opinion.

"Well, Prime Minister Su has already talked about the viability of the empire in the New World from a diplomatic point of view, and the minister has also talked about the idea from a military point of view. In fact, the area controlled and discovered by the countries in the New World, including the Empire, may be less than one-tenth of the land, and we have not even set foot in the vast inland and south-central regions, which means that the control and influence of the countries in the New World are still quite weak, and the territory of the New World for countries to expand is still quite vast, and the possibility of large-scale war due to the power struggle in the New World is very small, at least for a long time. The interests of the powerful countries of the Western Continent are based on their own Western Continent, and because of their years of old feuds, it is almost impossible for them to turn enemies into friends. ”

"And now the empire will not start a large-scale battle with the enemy in the north and south for the time being, just take advantage of this opportunity to expand its power to the new continent, the marine division now has only one division in the new continent, in the opinion of the minister, in addition to the three marine divisions can be maintained in the eastern sea frontier, the rest of the marine divisions can be transferred to the new continent, the army can also send part of the advance force into the new continent, the new continent will sooner or later become a hot spot of the empire's interests, rather than being familiar with it later, it is better to start now, even if there is really some conflict, the minister thinks it is worth it, the only thing to consider is the problem of logistics supplyThe Imperial soldiers were not yet accustomed to the coarse grains produced in the New World, and if the Imperial army was stationed in the New World, they would have to face considerable logistical pressure, especially when there was no fixed route from Sikkim to Mangadishu and Sabana. ”

Bo Jinchen explained his thoughts and thoughts in one breath, it is obviously impossible to have a large-scale military conflict in the New World because of the problem of the sphere of influence, whether it is the power of the Western Continent or the empire, it is not the master there, if it is ugly, it is just a group of conquerors similar to bandits, and the real master has little resistance in the face of powerful outsiders. At a time when there was still a vast expanse of land in the New World waiting to be conquered and explored, Bo Jinchen did not think that any side would be so unwise.

In his opinion, the New World is important, but it is not too late to wait until the Liberians and Maqi Khans are completely solved before they come to fight for the New World, but their courtiers obviously do not agree with this point of view, they are more inclined to prepare for war on the premise of grasping the interests of the New World with one hand, even if it is worth delaying the progress of the war. Thinking about the New World now countless wealth and interests beckoning to everyone, Wu Feng is also a little moved, from the current point of view, the population density on the New World is far less than that of the Laya Continent, the population density of the empire itself has always been quite high, which is more prominent in some fertile areas, once it encounters a natural disaster, it will trigger a large-scale migration of displaced people, affecting the turmoil of the empire, Wu Feng has always hoped to have a more appropriate solution to this problem.

Now the vast New World seems to have become a natural place of settlement, and the conditions in many areas here are very advantageous, and the climate is generally similar to that of the interior of the empire, although there are no crops such as rice and wheat due to local customs and customs, but as long as the soil quality is suitable for light and heat, it is completely possible to build a new granary of the empire here.

At the court meeting the next day, the quarrel on this issue still turned the whole court into a pot of boiling water, and the proposal to occupy Lilac Island and develop it quickly, and even quickly control the area around Lilac Island to see if it was possible to find a large area suitable for the growth of other spices, these suggestions were adopted without objection, and the controversy mainly focused on the full involvement of the Empire in the New World at this time, and also to bring the main force of the Marine Corps and even the army into the New World, which caused the worries of the ministers and some military officials, the long distance and the stormy sea routes, coupled with the hostility of the powers of the Western ContinentThis made them worry that the empire might have to trap more forces in the New World, and they were more inclined to increase their forces appropriately, but still have to exercise restraint in the entry of troops.

However, after His Majesty the Emperor made it clear that he supported the army to enter the New World, these voices gradually fell silent, and the introduction of Su Qin and Bo Jinchen was a major reason, of course, His Majesty the Emperor had made up his mind and told everyone unmistakably that this matter did not need to be discussed anymore.

The entire port of Sikkim has become a giant military port, where three Marine Divisions have boarded ships and set sail, and after a short break in the port of Golden Crown, they will make a long journey to Mangadishu for more than half a month to prepare for the entry into the New World. Before they left for the New World, the Imperial authorities had officially published a detailed chart of the arrival of the ship from Sikkim to Mangadishu via the port of Golden Crown, and announced that they would provide generous subsidies to the shipping companies that opened this fixed route to encourage private shipping companies to operate the route, which soon piqued the interest of the shippers in the southwest and the South Seashire County.

Although this route needs to cross the distant Latin Ocean, if you want to be safe, you can start from Sikkim or Western Samoa, stop at the port of Taungoo and Chennai in the Peninsula Alliance, arrive at the port of Aqaba, the largest port of the West Oran Kingdom on the Latin Ocean, and finally stop at the important shipping hub of the West Oran Kingdom on the Latin Ocean, Port Baidi, and then go south to Mangadishu, although this route is a lot farther, it takes more than a month, but it avoids the long sea journey of 20 days from the Golden Crown Port to Mangadishu, and it only takes 12 days to go south from the Port of Baidi to Mangadishu, which is a week less than from the Golden Crown Port to MangadishuIn this case, each day is much less risky.

Therefore, most shipping companies have chosen this route, and although the route from Jinguan Port to Mangadishu is subsidized by the Imperial Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce, but because the risk is too great, only a few large ships of some large shipping companies dare to take this route, and the route of the Imperial [***] team to Mangadishu and Sabana can only take this route, after all, as many as tens of thousands of troops have to pass through the ports of the Peninsula Alliance and the Kingdom of West Oran, and it is unlikely that any country will agree.

Cui Wenxiu squinted his eyes and looked at the newspaper sent by him, it seems that the empire is really ready to make some changes, the New World, it is really a good place, what is there? black slaves or spices? or gold? No one knows, but now is not the time to think about this for himself, in front of him is the Hansen Alliance, waiting, still waiting.

Cui Wenxiu found that his patience was getting better and better, if it didn't work for a week, it would be two weeks, and if it didn't work for two weeks, it would be a month, Cui Wenxiu believed that the intelligence department would bring him good news, and the Augsburg Empire would not be willing to accept this kind of insult, right? Campbell II is a grand duke who is loved by the people of the principality, and he is also a strong man with a stubborn surname, and the threat of force from the Augsburg Empire may not be able to frighten him, but the Holy Spirit Church may become a variable, which is why Cui Wenxiu hopes that the Military Intelligence Service and the Imperial National Security Administration will work together to eradicate this scourge, hoping that they can give themselves a big gift.
