The sixty-eighth chapter ups and downs (1)
Although the matter of His Highness the King of Chu succeeded to the imperial emperor, the remaining affairs were extremely complicated for the specific negotiators of all parties. For the interests of all parties, various negotiations were necessary, and quarrels, insults, threats and intimidations were inevitable, and finally compromise was inevitable. No one had ever thought about how long this imperial emperor could last and how long this situation could last.
The battle for control of Quanzhou Prefecture has become a focus. Situ Tai naturally hopes to take over this issue that is related to the loan rights of the Northern Pearl Islands. Although the public opinion now criticized him for betraying the coastal islands, he is no longer the emperor of the empire. He can naturally push things cleanly for such matters that are originally under the authority of the empire, but he is unwilling to make any concessions to the ownership of Quanzhou Prefecture; and for Situ Biao, the importance of Quanzhou Prefecture is too great.
With Quanzhou Prefecture, even if the entire area controlled by himself has an outlet, all kinds of products from the Wuhu area and even Jinhua Prefecture can be continuously transported through Quanzhou without passing through other regions. Seeing that Li Wufeng seized the outlet of the South Ocean through the war in the Peninsula Alliance, he was jealous and had clearly stated that Quanzhou Prefecture must be under his control, and the remaining naval fleet also belonged to him. On this issue, the conflict between the two sides seemed to have become an unsolvable knot.
The issue of control of the two counties in Heshuo Beiyuan is also a focus of debate. According to convention, when the threat of foreign enemies has disappeared, the two counties that do not belong to the central government of the territory of the Great Protectorate in the Western Xinjiang should be returned to the central government. However, Li Wufeng's side proposed that the situation in the two counties was not stable, especially Beiyuan may face invasion of the Kaman and the Puer at any time. The remnants of peace in Heshuo are still rampant. In order to ensure the stability of the two places, the two places are temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Great Protectorate in the Western Xinjiang for three to five years, and then return them to the Central Committee of the Empire after the local situation is completely calm. This proposal was strongly opposed by the nobles and conservative forces of the Empire. They believed that Li Wufeng took the opportunity to expand his sphere of influence under the threat of war and firmly demanded the retraction of the administrative jurisdiction of the two counties. The two sides had a disagreement several times and could not reach an agreement.
The problem of garrison in the imperial capital is even more difficult to solve. After Situ Tai clearly stated that the First Division of the First Legion could be stationed in the imperial capital to help the imperial capital assist in the defense, Situ Biao also clearly stated that the Sixth Legion would send an elite division to help the imperial guards defend the south gate. In this way, the two of them had a tit-for-tat move. It was not surprising that His Highness the King of Qin politely proposed that the First Division of the Fifth Legion was stationed at the western gate of the imperial capital. The opinions of all parties seemed to be particularly unified on this issue of garrison. In order to defend the security of the imperial capital, the slogans such as ensuring that the people of the imperial capital live and work in peace and contentment became the best fig leaf.
The elders and nobles of the Empire were not so determined on this issue. After all, no matter which army controls the imperial capital, it will not cause substantial harm to their wealth and security. His Majesty, who is about to ascend the throne, saw that he could not resist this issue, so he simply agreed to it and agreed to each of the three parties to defend the north, east and south. In addition to the east gate, the imperial capital was also controlled by the imperial guards, for the three parties, the imperial capital had actually become an unguarded city.
Although the quarrels over the control of Quanzhou Prefecture and the administrative jurisdiction of Heshuobeiyuan are still fierce, it can be clearly felt that the tension in the imperial capital has been greatly alleviated. Although this ending is a bit disappointing for Situ Tai, the internal affairs department of the imperial capital faithfully fulfilled its press supervision duties, which has not caused much inside information about Situ Tai's sale of sovereignty and collusion with the Duoduan Japanese. Except for some insignificant tabloids who are still entangled in lingering, it is considered unsatisfactory to have such an ending. Everyone seemed to feel that peace had come, and the ability of the three kings to jointly elect His Royal Highness the King of Chu to take over the imperial emperor seemed to mean that the three parties could live in harmony, at least on the surface, which could give people such comfort.
The nightlife of the upper class in the imperial capital began to become richer again. The cocktail party, which was already scared by the nearly suffocating atmosphere the week before, suddenly broke out again. The bigwigs received several invitations to cocktail party invitations almost every day, and negotiations continued, and enjoying a wonderful life seemed to be essential, and both were not wrong.
While enjoying the beauty behind him grasping his shoulders, his eyes were browsing the information sent by the intelligence department at a glance. Wufeng's mood was relatively relaxed at this time. A large stack of invitations were thrown on the desk in a mess. He was not in the mood to check it out. At present, Su Qin and Wang Liao were still talking about the nominal administrative jurisdiction in Heshuo and Beiyuan with the imperial deputy minister Qiao Song and the Minister of the Interior Sidon. However, this was no longer something Wufeng was concerned about. He was more concerned about Situ Tai's next move.
The Duoduan Guard Corps has entered the Cangzhou area, while the two divisions stationed in Cangzhou have officially entered Yunzhong. It seems that Situ Tai is not slow. Although the information from the Military Affairs Office says that the military generals reacted strongly and asked to send troops to intervene, at this time, if the Yunzhong Mansion broke up with Situ Tai, the time seems to be not mature enough, and the words "Safe and Restless" are lightly thrown on the reply. Wufeng can even imagine Ling Tian's frown when he received this reply. The military's impetuous mood now has even affected Ling Tianfang, who has always been known for his calmness and calmness. The smell can be seen from the news sent by Ling Tianfang.
It is necessary to wait a moment. Wufeng wanted to observe how Situ Tai, who had lost the throne, faced the pressure of the Dutun people and the Japanese demanding to fulfill their promises. In such a unclear evasion, the Dutun people and the Japanese would definitely not agree. Neither of these parties was charity. If you were not satisfied with the bait swallowed by your Situ Tai, I was afraid that even they would not be able to explain it within themselves. Wufeng was also looking forward to what Situ Tai would do when he was too forced. He was looking forward to the other party giving him an excuse.
"Ajie, what's wrong with Northern Luzon?" The woman behind her was so comfortable that she almost hummed. She gently raised her head and leaned into the other's bulging peaks, sniffing the faint fragrance behind her. The fragrance on Su Jie's body came from rosemary in the Western Continent. Wufeng liked this rich and mellow fragrance. Perhaps because she noticed her lover's special hobby for this fragrance, Su Jie deliberately threw a little on her body. In this environment where the two of them were alone, she could even show her charm of confusing people.
"The Second Legion has completed the emergency assembly, the Indian and German Legion has also shrunk and moved closer to the double pile. The Luzons are still mobilizing wars, and the Cominians have also begun mobilization. The latest information shows that half a month ago, the Free Dominion provided interest-free loans of 40 million Andeskrons to Luzon and Comini respectively, totaling 80 million Andeskrons, equivalent to about 20 million Empire gold coins. The transaction was completed by the Andes Dynasty Bank, the largest bank in the Andes region.
The analysis of the Military Intelligence Bureau shows that Katherine succumbed to the pressure of both sides and began to provide financial assistance to both sides, which also means that Liberty City will provide financial support for the two countries to launch a war." While massaged Wufeng and recalling the content in her mind, Su Jie was quite confident in her memory. Although Lin Yuexin's appearance weakened her importance, Lin Yuexin was more involved in strategic analysis and suggestions, and she didn't seem to be very interested in intelligence affairs.
"Well, it seems Frederick has made up his mind to fight us head-on." He rubbed his forehead thoughtfully. If the Luzons and the Comineans alone, the Second Legion and the Indian and German Legion could not win, at least he could drag it down according to his own ideas. With the financial situation of the Luzons and the Comineans, this protracted war and the war of tyranny would not take long to make their unenriched finances on the verge of bankruptcy. But now the Free Dominion has also been involved. It seems that the Foreign Service Department sent the special envoy to the Free City did not play much role. Catherine still couldn't resist the pressure from both sides and participated in it. In this way, the pressure in Northern Luzon would be quite great. If the army was not drawn from the Eastern Continent, Wufeng would not be sure if the 200,000 troops were to fight against the other party's coalition.
In fact, even the Northwest County itself does not have many troops stationed in the local area. In such a huge area, it seems that there are quite a few troops stationed in the east, a division of troops in the west. There are no mobile troops left after a few strokes. Is it a problem with my own military system or is it really insufficient? But now we are not considering this issue. Since I have already established my foothold in the imperial capital, I cannot withdraw from the imperial capital. Once I withdraw from the imperial capital, I am afraid I will want to return.
That would be a lot of difficulties. But the Northern Luzon cannot ignore it. The stalemate is an acceptable ending, but the power gap is too great, and it is not easy to drag it down. The weather began to heat up. Even if you can ignore the threat of Luobei people on the Tengger Grassland, the two Rangers could not adapt to the hot climate of Northern Luzon. Wufeng couldn't help but sigh. It was better for Gao Yue people, who were cold and heat-resistant, and could drag any battlefield. He was really a natural seedling of warriors, but it seemed too late to regret this now.
