Chapter 1394

The chaotic situation of the empire also had some impact on the surrounding situation. The Maqi Khan became nervous again. The First Legion of the Tang Dynasty had entered the peninsula area. Although the Tiger Guard Legion was nothing, its predecessor was also the Imperial Guard Legion of the Tanghe Empire. The tiger was invincible. In addition, the three legions already in the entire southwest area, the troops stationed in this area had reached five legions. If the Tang Dynasty had no intention of launching an attack on the west in a short period of time, the purpose of these five legions was a bit suspicious. Although the diplomatic departments frequently negotiated with the Tang Dynasty, and the diplomatic departments of the Tang Dynasty also vowed to assure the Maqi Khan that it would not be detrimental to the Maqi Khan, the Maqi Khan still quietly strengthened the deployment of troops in the border area.

What is even more tense is the Nanyang Alliance. Although the negotiations with the Tang Empire on sovereignty of the Maven Islands have been continuing and some consensus has been reached in the later period, the two sides still have considerable differences on the sovereignty settlement of the two major islands. The two sides agreed to temporarily shelve the differences in the early stage and then negotiate the sovereignty issues of the two important islands after the agreement reached has been fulfilled. However, seeing the large-scale influx of the Tang army into the peninsula area, and the imperial media are hyping that there will be no war with the Western Peninsula Alliance for the time being, the members of the Nanyang Alliance are somewhat doubting whether the Tang army's military action will take military action by the fact that the negotiations have not yet achieved satisfactory results.

The diplomatic department of the Nanyang Alliance voluntarily demanded the reopening of the negotiations that had been stalled for a long time gave the imperial diplomatic department a sense of surprise. The negotiations went very smoothly. The two sides successfully bridged the differences on the issue of sovereignty transfer of the two important islands. The Tang Empire used the price of 1.2 million imperial gold coins as a supplement to the investment in the early development of the two islands in exchange for absolute sovereignty of the two islands. Such a good thing was something the empire had never thought of before. You should know that the two islands are not only important in geographical location, but also in small areas. The most important thing is that one of the islands is located at the southernmost end of the Maven Islands, which is quite far from the mainland. It can be used as an advance base for the southernmost end of the Imperial Navy, and it can also serve as a bridgehead for the empire to explore the southern seas.

The increase in the empire in the southwest region eventually led to the bankruptcy of offensive defense that Suleiman had always advocated. In fact, after occupying the Principality of Soktu, although Suleiman's personal prestige rose to a very high level, and no one in the alliance army was doubting her command ability, there were many calls for opposition among the alliance army to seize the victory and directly attack Bali and Eastern Samoa. In particular, the Nan'an, Western Samoans and Sikkim even doubted whether the Peninsula Allied Army intended to regain the Eastern Peninsula League. This was simply impossible in their eyes. They hoped that through this victory, they could force the Tang Empire to make peace and resolve the problem through negotiations. Some members of Nan'an and Western Samoa even hoped to pay some compensation for long-term peace by paying some compensation like the Tang Empire. This naive idea made Suleiman angry and speechless.

Even within the Peninsula Allied Army, many people questioned Suleiman's idea. The Tang army's strategic advantages were not much reduced due to this failure. If the Alliance Army rashly entered the Eastern Peninsula area, it might gain the support of the local nostalgic people to a certain extent, but it will inevitably trigger the escalation of the war in the Tang Dynasty. They also hope to control the war at the current level and expand the scale of the war, they also felt unacceptable.

The thoughts in the Allied Army that Suleiman regarded as an ostrich were quite strong, so that Suleiman repeatedly demanded to take advantage of the victory and pursued the battle were rejected by senior politicians of the Allied. Nan'an, Western Samoa and Sikkim also clearly stated that they would not support the cross-border attack and the fighter was lost in vain. When the Tang army retreated to Baliya and East Samoa and gained a foothold again, Suleiman knew that his efforts to reverse the overall situation had failed.

When the First Army of the Tang Army and the Tiger Guards entered the peninsula one after another, she also knew that the Tang Dynasty must have made up its mind to use military means to solve the problem, and it is by no means possible for diplomatic negotiations to solve it. Suleiman still had a hope at this time, that is, if the Tang army resumed the war at this time, she could use the right time, place and people to fight another beautiful war. However, when she found that the Tang army had no intention of restarting the war at this time, on the contrary, officials from the diplomatic department of the Tang Dynasty frequently appeared.

When she was in Nan'an, Sikkim and even the Peninsula Alliance territory, she realized that her opponent was not as reckless as she imagined. These humble Tang people were taking advantage of the fear in the hearts of the mentally retarded politicians in their camp to launch their diplomatic offensive. This was just a delaying strategy. Waiting for the time to ripen, these Tang troops would make a comeback, but who would believe what they said now? Even if some people were half-believing, they would rather put peace in such illusory negotiations.

The southwest is thick and cloudy, but it has not affected the war on the battlefield of Indian and German. It is Cui Wenxiu's third secret inspection of the German and German frontlines in South India. The information from the intelligence department said that the Luzons seemed to be negotiating with the Freedom Dominion to get military support from the Freedom Dominion. At the same time, they also sent people to contact the Duke of Meli in the west, which also aroused Cui Wenxiu's alertness. Although the military power of the Freedom Dominion has developed in the past two years, they are not considered to be a decisive force. The unsuccessful military general Qu Lin of Comini participated in Grand Duke Catherine, but it does not mean that the Freedom Dominion's army can become as accustomed to war as the original elite of Comini. What can give Frederick support is probably more important is financial support.

However, the movements of the Principal of Meli are quite eye-catching. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Principal of Meli should be regarded as the most important country on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea and the Aegean Sea. In addition to its unique geography and climate, it has become a well-deserved spice country on the mainland, and its strong army and national policy that has always advocated peace and neutrality are also worthy of attention.

The prosperous spice industry has made the prosperity of the Principal of Meli. At least half of the spice trade on the entire continent comes from the Principal of Meli. In addition, its geographical location between the Aegean Sea and the Baltic Sea also allows its spice trade to reach the world. Prosperity and prosperity have not made the rulers of the Principal of Meli. Although their army is not strong, it is quite strong. They have many opportunities to expand their land and spheres of influence, but they all gave up. They just insist on adhering to their own national policies, that is, people do not offend me, and I do not offend others. As long as they do not endanger their own interests, as long as they do not affect the spice trade, the army of the Principal of Meli will never take a step forward.

It is not that Frederick was not unclear about the fixed thinking patterns of the Melis, but why did they contact the Melis at this time? Could it be that the Melis would change their national policy that had been passed down for a century and interfere with wars that had nothing to do with themselves? No, this seems unlikely. Or Frederick was in financial need to deal with the Melis who were rich in mainland China? The financial aristocrats and usury merchants of Melis are also as famous as their spices. The wealth accumulated in the spice industry also made the Melis find that the profits of the financial industry are no worse than those of the spice industry.

However, although I pay attention, Cui Wenxiu will not change his strategy because of anyone's intervention. He holds such a powerful army and cannot do whatever he wants. Then he can really retire and return home. His temporary concessions to the Hansen Alliance are just to avoid fighting on both sides. In order to obtain greater benefits from the Luzons, Indian and German belong to the empire, and this principle has long been embedded in Cui Wenxiu's heart.

The Eleventh Corps of the Empire has officially set off westward. The Tiger Guards' trip to the southwest did not affect Cui Wenxiu's mood. Liang Chongxin did need more troops to stay in the southwest. The Dark Night Rose seems to be a tricky flower. Let's see how Liang Chongxin picked this flower to ravage it. Luo Bei's four Rangers were finally reorganized and moved south from the Tenggeri grassland, which made the Hansen Alliance's guys nervous again. Their troops in Dexin Province were increasing again, but Cui Wenxiu believed that they were not for provocation, but for a means of self-protection.

The three provinces of Kerman, Rosse and Kunduz were under the control of the imperial army and had formed a siege against the two provinces controlled by the Luzons, Xize and Kanata. The troops of each unit had begun to lurk in place, waiting for the arrival of the final war. Information showed that the Luzons had drawn some troops from the Southern Indian and Germans to leave, but the number was not large, far lower than their original idea. It seemed that the Free Dominion seemed willing to work hard for Frederick. I wonder what kind of benefits Frederick promised to Catherine who was profit-oriented? Could it be that he was the little man himself? Cui Wenxiu thought dirtyly.
