Chapter 258
Although he was mentally prepared, Bai Zhizhan was still a little surprised when he entered the commander-in-chief's office and saw Xue Yuanzheng.
Only then did he notice the casual clothes the prime minister wore.
It is definitely not for Liu Changxun to come, and there are very important things, but they cannot be informed through formal channels, and they can only teach you in person important matters.
While Bai Zhizhan was greeting Xue Yuanzheng, Liu Changxun poured Bai Zhizhan a cup of coffee.
This is to suggest that Bai Zhizhan, and the prime minister brought a topic that could never be explained clearly in just a few words, so wait and see.
"This was delivered by Ambassador Bran this morning, look."
Diplomatic Note?
After picking up the documents handed over by Xue Yuanzheng, Bai Zhizhan immediately frowned.
It is more of an ultimatum than a diplomatic note.
If the Liangxia Empire did not announce before 0 a.m. on February 1, the official announced that it would accept the initiative initiated by the Newland Federation and the Kingdom of Bran, the Kingdom of Bran will impose a strategic embargo on both sides of the warring parties on February 1 and will no longer export strategic materials, including oil, to the belligerent countries.
"Isn't there any rumors about this matter long ago?"
"It used to be a rumor, but now it is a fact." Xue Yuanzheng replied.
After putting down the document, Bai Zhizhan rubbed his forehead hard again.
"Before you come here, Commander Liu had already said that we have little chance of winning when we go to war with the Kingdom of Bran. I want to ask, what do you think of this issue?"
Bai Zhizhan didn't rush to speak, this was not a problem that could handle it.
This is not a question of going to war with the Kingdom of Bran.
Because the Kingdom of Bran was not involved in the war, and the embargo on the belligered was a national right recognized by the international convention, so as long as the Liangxia Empire made a fuss about this, for example, treating the embargo as a reason to declare war on the Kingdom of Bran, the Newland Federation will surely fight for the Kingdom of Bran.
At its root, this is obviously a trick played by the Newland Federation.
If you really want to fight, Newland Federation must be included.
At the same time, fighting against the Newland Federation and the Kingdom of Bran, there is indeed no chance of winning.
I was already very trapped in defeating the Newland Navy in the East Ocean. If I go to Fanyan Ocean to fight against the Royal Bran Navy, I will definitely lose.
But, can you give in?
Now sit down and talk, the previous efforts will be in vain. The Nayi Empire, which was saved by blood transfusion, will soon become a major concern of the empire again.
From a military perspective, as long as the Newland Federation provides all its support, the Nayi Empire will be able to recover its vitality and return to the battlefield with high spirits, relying on 80 million soldiers and civilians to fight a real war of attrition with the empire on the ground.
Besides, negotiation itself has no meaning.
If the negotiations can be really completed, Newland Federation should also stand up and make a statement, that is, to implement a strategic embargo on both sides of the warring parties on February 1.
The Newland Federation has not made any statement, isn’t it just that it intends to make a statement on the Nayi Imperial Grid?
If that's the case, what else is there to talk about?
If you cannot give in, how should you fight, or how to fight to win?
Obviously, this is the question raised by Xue Yuanzheng.
After pondering for a while, Bai Zhizhan said, "If you can't delay until next year, the best choice is to find a way to hold the Kingdom of Bran."
"Let the Kingdom of Bran be out of the matter?" Xue Yuanzheng was obviously a little surprised.
"Why isn't Newland Federation?" Liu Changxun asked immediately.
Before Bai Zhizhan arrived, the two were already discussing this issue, and their views were similar, that was, they would first deal with the Kingdom of Bran.
The reason is also very simple, eat soft persimmons first.
"Although our main enemy is not the Kingdom of Bran, is there any way to hold the Newland Federation?"
After Bai Zhizhan said this, Xue Yuanzheng nodded. Liu Changxun was obviously a little embarrassed. Perhaps it was his proposal to restrain the Newland Federation.
"What restricts Newland Federation from doing something is its domestic 'isolationist' argument. If I want to say it, this thing is metaphysics." Bai Zhizhan paused for a moment and said, "To think about it on the worse side, isolationism is mostly created by Lofos."
"How is this..."
As soon as Liu Changxun spoke, Xue Yuanzheng shook his head at him and asked him to shut up.
"Is this just your guess?"
"That's right. The truth is actually here, it only depends on whether we believe it or not."
Xue Yuanzheng didn't speak, but just nodded slightly and asked Bai Zhizhan to continue speaking.
"No matter how we look at it, as long as we go to war with the Kingdom of Bran, Lofos will let the Federation of Newland join the war as an ally. Conversely, if we start working with the Federation of Newland first, under a certain situation, the Kingdom of Bran may not immediately fulfill its alliance obligations."
"What specific situation?" Liu Changxun asked.
"A strong enemy appeared directly attacking the core interests of the Kingdom of Bran, such as the Torman Empire." The one who answered this question was not Bai Zhizhan, but Xue Yuanzheng.
Liu Changxun was surprised and felt that he had heard it wrong.
Bai Zhizhan frowned. Although he was the one who made this point, he had never thought about the Tyrannosaurus Empire before Xue Yuanzheng said it.
Is this possible?
Although the Tsuman Empire was a hard-core ally in the last war and almost accompanied the Liangxia Empire to the last moment, after the war, the relationship between the two countries took a sharp turn. Even if they had not broken up, they were just able to live up to their face and were no longer an ally.
There are many reasons, mainly related to the core interests of the country. For example, during the Sebasians Association, the Liangxia Empire did not come forward to safeguard the core interests of the Taurus Empire in order to maintain its identity as a "non-defeated country", and eventually allowed the controversial Alo area to be allocated to the Rock Republic.
Of course, this is also related to the twenty years of peace after the war.
With twenty years of peace, neither the Liangxia Empire nor the Tiaoman Empire had the foundation for re-forming a military alliance.
The military and the government are second to each other. The key is that the people of both sides do not have high recognition of each other.
"If you want to restrain the Kingdom of Bran, you can only rely on the Taman Empire." Xue Yuanzheng breathed a long sigh. "I'm very lucky that the Taman Empire also expressed the meaning of re-aligning us."
Now, even Bai Zhizhan was shocked.
"It was also this morning that the new ambassador of the Tyman Empire took the opportunity to submit the certificate of state and proposed to us that he hoped to reconclude an alliance treaty with us. The key is that the Tyman Empire does not oppose the three-party contract. As long as we are willing to provide guarantees, we will be willing to reconcile with the Luosha Federation."
This is not surprising, it is simply dumbfounded!
With the guarantee of the Liangxia Empire, the Tyman Empire is willing to reconcile with the Luosha Federation!?
Did you hear it wrong?
"Luosha Federation..."
“Same.”
This time, Bai Zhizhan clearly realized that he had heard it right.
Is it just a deception, or is it really possible to make an alliance?
Can the three powerful land power countries on one line come together?
In the last war, the Luosha Empire was sandwiched between the Liangxia Empire and the Tiaoman Empire, and suffered a lot, and eventually collapsed. Although it is now the Luosha Federation, those people are still there, how could they forget the losses suffered by being attacked on both sides in the last war?
The Luosha Federation hated the most was the Tyrannosaurus Empire.
After the end of the last war, the Liangxia Empire did not occupy the land captured in the war, and then signed a peace treaty with the Luosha Federation.
However, the Great Empire, together with the Locke Republic, almost dismembered half of the Luosha Federation, causing the Luosha Federation to lose a large area of territory, and thus failed to recover.
