Chapter 1369
"Well, the three provinces of Kerman, Khra and Destan are the baselines of our sides, so naturally there is no need to consider it. The three provinces of Fahan, Mana and Deshin are now needed. Among them, Mana is the center. For the Hansen Alliance, they have controlled Mana, and they have ensured their voice in the Indian and German regions. It is difficult for them to give in. For us, taking Mana means that West India and Deshin no longer have any worries. Whether it is Fahan or Deshin, it is difficult for us to pose a threat to us in the hands of the Hansen Alliance. It is estimated that it will be difficult for us to reach an agreement on this point."
Cui Wenxiu was also a little headache. The Hansen Alliance had shown their strength to fight. The restlessness of the Luzons forced themselves to free up their hands to deal with the problem in the south. Judging from the information obtained, the Hansen Alliance's current war against the West Indian and Germans is still within their acceptance range, but the losses of the two corpses of the Principal of Hannover also caused a strong reaction from the Principal of Hannover. Cui Wenxiu was not a reckless person. He knew that the Duchy of Hannover was in the Hannover League. One of the three giants, once the opponent forced the other party too tightly, the plan to increase troops in the alliance was very unfavorable for his side. However, it was also unacceptable for his side to hand over the Mana Province and Blue Fort to control the Hannson Alliance. It meant that the Tang Dynasty did not get enough rewards for this battle, which was paid a huge price. It was quite unfavorable for both the empire and his future strategies.
"The general doesn't have to worry too much. I think we are trying to figure out the ideas of the Hansen Allied people. They will also think about our feelings. The importance of Mana is the same for both sides. If other interests cannot be replaced, perhaps sharing is a good choice." Pauling suggested with a smile.
"Oh? Sharing? Well, this is a new term. Let's talk about it, how to share it?" Cui Wenxiu narrowed her eyes and stared at her former subordinate. Perhaps the path he set for him was really more suitable for him. At least in terms of thinking, this guy has left his colleagues far behind, of course, only government affairs and diplomacy.
"We can reach a ceasefire agreement with the Hansen Alliance. In addition to their respective baselines, the two provinces of Fahan and Dexin will choose one. The Mana province, including Blue Castle City, is jointly controlled by both sides. In the Mana province and Blue Castle City, we can each station the same number of necessary troops to maintain a balance and set up observers to supervise each other. This not only meets their requirements, but also eliminates our wariness. It should be said that they can be accepted by both sides. Of course, we must also put forward some additional requirements, such as the Holy Spirit and Niette religions that should enjoy equal missionary freedom in this area. Both sides must not use any force to suppress and restrict religious freedom, which can also make religious spies in this area
The shield cannot be eliminated, but it can be controlled to a certain extent. Don’t you think it is not easy for a single Nier or Holy Spirit to manage the region according to our intentions? So it is best for us to find a belief system that restrains and restricts each other. After all, we are still outsiders here. Uh, because I personally think that if our main goal in the next stage is the Luzons, it is probably necessary to maintain peace with the Hansen Alliance for a period of time. This compromise can not only satisfy the appetite of the alliance’s less interested forces in the East, but also make the Eastern Invaders led by Hannover dare not provoke war at will."
Baolin's words finally made Cui Wenxiu realize that he might lose this subordinate. These words are enough to prove that Baolin is becoming more mature in politics and has more skillful and rich methods in handling government affairs. If Baolin can be immersed in the local area for a period of time, perhaps this guy's fortune will be greater than what he originally thought.
Seeing that there seemed to be admiration and regrets in the coach's eyes, and of course there was even more appreciation. Pauline was able to pay attention to his old boss's inner thoughts, which shows that the coach was planning for his future sincerely. Pauline was also a little moved. He would be much more happy to work under such a boss, but everyone has his own way to go, and it is impossible to be under the wings of others for the rest of his life. Pauline naturally knew this truth.
After letting out a sigh of relief, Cui Wenxiu turned her eyes elsewhere to hide her feelings. After a long time, she said: "Bowlin, this negotiation will be discussed according to your intention. I will leave this matter to you with all my power. The bottom line is to obtain one of the Fahan and Dexin provinces under the common management of the Mana province. I wonder which province do you think we should strive for is more suitable?"
"This depends on which angle we look at the problem. From a purely military perspective, we naturally strive to control the Desin Province. The southeast of Desin Province has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Mish and Hyderabad, which poses a great threat to our defense. After we control the Desin Province, we will eliminate future troubles and in turn threaten the military existence of the Hansen Alliance in the Destan area. However, the Fahan Province is equally important. In the first place, although the Kerman Province is controlled by us, as far as I know, there are very few areas where good ports can be built in the coastal areas of the Kerman Province. In comparison, there are one or two more suitable locations in the Fahan area that are more suitable for building into important ports. This is undoubtedly very important for the future economic development of the Indian-German region and the opening of maritime trade routes. Moreover, after controlling Fahan, it also directly borders the local territory of the Hansen Alliance, which is more convenient for our subsequent strategic deployment."
Cui Wenxiu nodded. It should be said that Fahan and Dexin each have their own benefits. From a military perspective, Dexin is more important, but from an economic development perspective, Fahan is undoubtedly more critical.
"Let's do this, first touch the other party's background. If you can get two provinces, it will be better. If not, we should try to win the Dexin province. At least in this way, we don't have much worries when we fight the Luzons with all our efforts." Cui Wenxiu set the tone.
"But the Grand Marshal has considered it. Many nomadic tribes in the Fahan Province have accepted our pleading. If we make peace with Hansen and give up the Fahan Province, it may bring a lot of sequelae and will cause considerable losses to our reputation. Their current leader, the patriarch of the Zahuding family, has come to Kerrman City, and hope you can take the time to receive it. They have more to stabilize the situation in Kerrman and even Fahan as soon as possible." Pauling reminded the other party.
"Oh, I have overlooked this issue, but we have given up Dexin and have to station more troops in the Mish-controlled areas and the Khura Province." Cui Wenxiu weighed the weight, "But in the long run, maybe we have to do this for the time being, or so, let's talk about this matter according to your ideas. I think our competition with the Hansen Alliance and the Luzons on this land may have just begun. Maybe this is a rare stage for you, so you can consider it yourself."
The sea breeze came to the face with a salty smell, strolling on the fine sand of the beach as white as snow. The indescribable sense of collapse made Cui Wenxiu quite fresh. Looking at the distance, the light blue sea surface seemed empty and lonely. Albatrosses and gulls in the sky were circling by from time to time, and a peaceful and leisurely atmosphere seemed to cover the entire beach.
After throwing the matter of negotiations with Hansen to Pauling, Cui Wenxiu went straight to the extreme western end of the march - the Baltic Sea coast. This was the first time the empire promoted control and influence to a region that has always been regarded as the inland sea of the Chinese and Western continents. In any case, this fact will make him record into the history of the empire. Although Cui Wenxiu has been used to the ups and downs, she still can't help but feel some excitement.
The Baltic Sea and the Aegean Sea are like two gourd balls of a gourd, one north and one south, lying between the Central and Western continents, and the Marmara Island Chain is like a thin belt tied to the gourd, sprinkling irregularly at the junction of two gourd balls. Hundreds of islands of different sizes are everywhere. The famous City of Constantine is located on the largest island of Crete. The pirates traverse this area have made the naval fleets of various countries in the two major seas helpless with their natural advantages. Of course, there are special reasons why these pirates are extremely rampant.
However, all this seems to have nothing to do with the Indians. Although the Indians have a coastline that is not considered a coastline along the Baltic Sea, the Indians seem to be born as a land nation and have little interest in the ocean. The value sea line is straight and there are not many valuable harbors. The bandits along the coast are also extremely arrogant, causing the trade routes to be cut off. Therefore, there is almost no decent port city on the entire coastline. Many commodities from the mainland have to be transported to the Western Continent, either only transiting from the Hansen Alliance or only going to sea from the ports within the Principal of Meli. This strange phenomenon is indeed somewhat incomprehensible, but it is a fact.
