Chapter 1468

"Your Majesty, the countries in the Western Continent are not monolithic. After all, they can gather together to put pressure on the empire on the New Continent because they are consistent in some interests. However, we all know that the powerful forces in the Western Continent are intertwined and the relationship between the parties is complicated, including hundreds of years of old enemies and royal marriages. In this case, although the powerful people in the Western Continent began to turn their attention to the New Continent, their fundamental interests are still on the Western Continent, especially the only one that may shake them is the enemy on the Western Continent. The New Continent can at most be regarded as their overseas interest hunting ground."

"Some losses in the interest hunting ground can be compensated, but once it is shaken, it may endanger the survival of the country. At this point, the empire has an innate advantage. No country in the East Continent can shake and provoke the absolute authority of the empire, let alone the Central Continent. Therefore, I think that the empire only needs to select one or two countries to form a strategic alliance on the issue of division of the New Continent, which can completely suppress the intentions of the Western Continent. The empire can also be assured and boldly expand its power on the New Continent. As long as the powers in the Western Continent cannot unite, they will not be able to pose a substantial threat to the empire's interests on this land."

Su Qin pointed out the root of the words. The relationship between the powerful people in the Western Continent is still hostile and distrustful in nature. The conflict of fundamental interests on the Western Continent determines that their cooperation on the New Continent is also fragile. They only need to take more measures in diplomacy to completely resolve their alliances and even win some allies for the empire.

"Well, Brother Su's words make some sense. As long as the joint efforts of the powerful people in the Western Continent can be solved, one or two countries will not pose a threat to the empire's interests in the New World. We can even clearly propose to expel those unfriendly countries and share the benefits of the New World with our allies." Ling Tianfang nodded and praised.

"Brother Bo, this is my simple opinion. Why don't you tell me your opinion again?" Su Qin smiled slightly and signaled Bo Jinchen to express his opinion.

"Well, just now, Su Xiang had already talked about the feasibility of the empire on the New World from a diplomatic perspective, and I also talked about the idea from a military perspective. In fact, there may be less than one-tenth of the land controlled and discovered by countries on the New World, including the empire, and we have not even reached the footprints of the vast inland and central and southern regions. In other words, the control and influence of the countries in the New World are still quite weak, and the area for countries to expand to various countries is still quite broad. I think the possibility of large-scale wars due to the struggle for the New World is very small, at least for a long time. The interests of the powerful people in the Western World are based on their Western World, and due to years of hatred, it is almost impossible for them to turn enemies into friends."

"And now the Empire will not engage in large-scale battles with the enemies in the north and south. It is just right to take advantage of this opportunity to expand its power to the New World. The Marine Division now has only one division in the New World. In my opinion, in addition to maintaining three Marine Divisions in the eastern seas, the rest of the Marine Divisions can be transferred into the New World. The Army can also send some advance troops into the New World. The New World will sooner or later become a hot spot for the Empire's interests. Instead of getting familiar with it later, it is better to take action now. Even if there is a conflict, I think it is worth it. The only thing that needs to be considered is the logistics supply issue. The imperial soldiers are not very adaptable to the coarse grains produced on the New World. If the imperial army enters the New World, they will have to face a lot of pressure on logistics issues, especially when there is no fixed route to Mangadishu and Sabana, it is even more difficult."

King Bo revealed his thoughts in one breath. It is obviously unlikely that a large-scale military conflict occurred in the New World due to the sphere of influence. Neither the powerful people in the Western Continent nor the empires were the masters there. To put it bluntly, it was just a group of conquerors similar to robbers. The real master had no resistance to powerful outsiders. When there was still an endless land of broad-pending to wait for other parties to conquer and explore, King Bo did not think that any party would be so unwise.

Everyone's words reduced Wufeng's concerns. Wufeng was unwilling to affect his plan to prepare for war due to the entanglement of the New World. In his opinion, the New World is important, but it is better to slow down. It is not too late to fight for the New World after the Liberians and Machikhans are completely resolved. However, their ministers obviously do not agree with this view. They are more inclined to prepare for war on the premise of seizing the interests of the New World, even if the war is delayed.

It is also worth it. Thinking about the fact that countless wealth and interests in the New World are now waving to everyone, Wufeng was also a little moved. From the moment he saw that the population density on the New World is far less than that of the Laya continent. The population density of the empire has always been quite high, which is more prominent in some areas with plump land. Once a natural disaster occurs, it will trigger large-scale migration of refugees and affect the turbulent situation in the empire. Wufeng has always hoped that there would be a more appropriate way to solve this problem.

Now the vast New World seems to have become a natural immigrant. Many areas here have very superior conditions and are generally similar to the climate in the empire. Although there are no crops such as rice and wheat due to local customs and customs, as long as the soil is suitable for light and heat, a new granary for the empire can be built here.

The arguments on this issue at the court meeting the next day still turned the entire court into a pot of boiling water. Regarding occupying Dingliu Island and quickly developing it, and even quickly controlling the area near Dingliu Island to see if it could find a large area suitable for the growth of other spices, these suggestions were passed without objection. The debate was mainly focused on the empire's full intervention in the New World at this time, and the main force of the Marine Corps and even the army had to enter the New World. This caused concern among ministers and some military officials. The long distance and frequent sea routes, coupled with the hostility of the powerful people in the Western Continent, made them worried that the empire might have to trap more forces on the New World. They were more inclined to increase their investment in force appropriately, but they still had to maintain restraint in the entry of the army.

However, after His Majesty the Emperor clearly expressed his support for the army to enter the New World, these voices gradually became silent. The introduction of Su Qin and Bo Jinchen was the main reason. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor had made a decision and told everyone clearly that there was no need to discuss this matter.

The entire Sikkim Port has become a giant military port. Three Marine Divisions have boarded ships and set sail here. After a break at Jinguan Port, they will go through a long and half-month journey to Mangadishu to prepare for entering the New World. Before they head to the New World, the Empire has officially announced a detailed chart of arriving from Sikkim through Jinguan Port to Mangadishu, and announced that it will provide generous subsidies for shipping companies that open this fixed route to encourage private shipping companies to operate this route, which soon aroused the interest of shipped merchants in the southwest region and Nanhai County.

Although this route needs to cross the far Latin Ocean, if you want to be insured, you can start from Sikkim or Western Samoa, through the port of Dongshu and Chennai in the Peninsula Alliance, and arrive at the Port of Aqaba, the largest port of the Kingdom of Sioran in the Latin Ocean. Finally, you can pass through Port Baidi, the important shipping hub of Port in the Latin Ocean, and then head south to Mangadishu. Although this route is much longer and takes more than one month, it avoids the long 20-day journey from Port of Jinguan to Port of Mangadishu. It only takes 12 days to get south from Port of Baidi to Port of Mangadishu, which is a week less than from Port of Jinguan to Port of Mangadishu. In this case, the risk is much less for every day.

Therefore, most shipping companies have chosen this route. Although the route from Jinguan Port to Mangadishu is subsidized by the Imperial Ministry of Finance and Commerce, due to the great risks, only a few large ships from some large shipping companies dare to take this route. However, the route from the Imperial army to Mangadishu and Sabana can only take this route. After all, an army of tens of thousands of people has to pass through the ports of the Peninsula Alliance and the Kingdom of Sioran, and no country is likely to agree.

Cui Wenxiu narrowed her eyes and looked at the newspaper sent. It seemed that the Empire was really ready to make some changes. The New World is really a good place. What is there? Black slaves or spices? Or gold? No one knows, but now is not the time to consider this issue. What is in front of him is the Hansen Alliance, waiting, and waiting.
