Chapter 665 The ambitions of the people of the Old Black Hawk Empire

For a poor and careless kingdom in crude oil, although 50,000 tons is mosquito meat, it is still worthy of being a big book and being the first oil field to be discovered in the kingdom.

Because the kingdom also needs to urgently remove the hat of a poor country to increase its international influence. In the king's view, this necessary propaganda is even far higher than the negative impact of leaking secrets. He also wants to use this to shock the Black Hawk Empire, which has been preparing for the kingdom, and hopes that they can temporarily restrain themselves a little.

There is actually nothing wrong with the king's strategy. The height he stood was destined to make him value the kingdom's status in all countries around the world. This is like a classmate gathering in his youth. He wished that everyone could know his family's fortunes were not bad, so no one of you thinks he was underestimating me.

The relationship between countries seems very complicated, but in fact, if you let it go, it’s just that, it’s all because of the interests.

However, the status has come, and the admiring eyes have come. There are also many people who are jealous, such as the Black Hawk Empire, which has long been drooling when looking at the kingdom.

On the day the Kingdom Government announced the discovery of the oil field in Tongzhou, Kingdom Qiu.

Blackhawk Empire Palace.

"Everyone, what do you think about the discovery of the oil field in the Kingdom?" asked a middle-aged man with a short body and fair face but a little gloomy face.

"Report to Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say." An old man over 60 years old, gray-haired, stood up and said.

"Emperor Uncle sat down and said yes." The middle-aged man waved his hand to signal the old man to sit down, and he was also kind of polite in his words.

"Your Majesty, the kingdom's discovery of oil fields is absolutely not good news for our country. The kingdoms with crude oil will further expand their war potential. They can not only buy aircraft and ships from abroad, but also have oil products that can drive those weapons, and no longer rely solely on foreign transportation. In this regard, they are even stronger than the empire. Even if the imperial navy is more powerful than them, blocking the straits will not play much role. Moreover, the kingdoms are increasingly opposed to our country, and major propaganda media regard the empire as a bandit. In the long run, it will be unfavorable to the empire's plans. After defeating the kingdom government, the empire will have to spend more energy to govern.

According to the old minister's words, it would be better to take this opportunity to fight with all your might, and send troops from the northern line to occupy the entire territory of the Kingdom He Yuzhou and then attack Ling Pizhou and Fuhongzhou to defeat Qiu Tongzhou. The southeast battlefield was attacked by the Marines and an Imperial Army, which restrained the Kingdom Central Division and the Southeast Army. Finally, the two groups joined forces to occupy the entire territory of the Kingdom." The old Black Hawk Empire looked at the map spread on the table with a frenzy and said with some emotion.

As a staunch supporter of fanatical militarism, Jiang Jinru, the old Black Hawk Empire, has always been extremely eager for a rich kingdom. His longing for the view was that as long as he occupied the kingdom and had all kinds of rich mineral resources, the Black Hawk Empire would be like a train filled with coal that could keep rushing wildly, sweeping across the entire East Continent and eventually becoming one of the world's dominants.

The Blackhawk Empire, which was bombarded with strong ships and powerful guns, also had a past that cannot be looked back on. Standing on the top of the world is also their dream.

The prerequisite for realizing this dream is to annex the powerful neighboring kingdom.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I object to the Prince's opinion." A man in a suit stood up and said firmly.

"Please say." The emperor nodded and said in a calm tone.

This is a meeting of the imperial court. Everyone can express their opinions, and they are not allowed to object. As long as it is not after his Majesty made a decision, the heads of the Army and Navy pointed at each other's noses and scolded each other at the military meeting. The political disagreement of political views and stared at each other with wide eyes and tugged at each other behind their backs is not new in the political arena of the Black Hawk Empire.

No matter which country, bureaucrats at all levels are not a monolithic. If that happens, the rulers should be anxious. This is the only thing that needs to do is to keep me going! The necessary mountain and limited disputes between each other are the political ecology needed by those in power.

"I do not agree with the Prince's opinion that the prince immediately sent troops to the kingdom. Because the current financial revenue of the Empire does not support the full-scale war with the Kingdom, and the daily expenses of maintaining the 18 permanent divisions of the Empire's Army are already huge. If we fight against a kingdom with nearly 3 million troops, the Empire must expand its army, and at least fifty divisions and fifty divisions will fight on distant kingdom lands. We also need to dispatch the Imperial Navy and Air Force to assist. The massive materials and logistics support required will be almost destructive to the current imperial finances.

Moreover, the Imperial Navy is now in a critical period of development. The goal of super battleships has been proposed to target the imaginary enemy of the Empire in the future. In the next few years, the Empire will invest a lot of money to build the ship. If it is hoped to reach and surpass the White Eagle Kingdom and the Xizhou people, the Imperial Navy may need three to four or even more. A full-scale war with the Kingdom will delay the growth of the Imperial Navy. The enemy of the Imperial Navy is not a weak kingdom.

The reason why the Prince launched a war with the Kingdom was that the Kingdom discovered a small oil field with an annual output of more than 300,000 barrels, and it was also in the heart of the Kingdom. It consumed all the power of the Empire, but it was ridiculous to obtain a small oil field with an annual output of more than 300,000 barrels. The annual output of the oil field in Zhao State, which was 3,000 kilometers away from the Empire was tens of millions of barrels. If the Imperial Navy was strong enough, what could the world's powers do to our empire in that sea area?

More importantly, it is now a vassal state of the empire. Oil can be found in mountains like Qiu Tongzhou. There is no reason. There is no such thing as there. I suggest sending more exploration teams to Cheng Zhao State to find oil for the empire. In that way, perhaps we don’t have to risk going to war with the American powers.”

The emperor's words made the emperor's forehead slightly, but Jiang Jinru's face turned red and blue, but he was unable to refute the prime minister who was born as a naval general.

That's right, although this is just a royal meeting against the kingdom's discovery of oil, it has evolved into a dispute between the Black Hawk Empire's navy and the army that has always been at odds.

Although the important officials of the Black Hawk Empire here did not say it clearly, everyone knew that it was the result. People from the two factions fought again.

Obviously, what the Prime Minister in politics now has to say is more reasonable and well-founded, especially that reason: the output of more than 300,000 barrels will make the entire Black Hawk Empire focus on the army and launch a war with the kingdom in advance. Prince, are you funny? Do you know how much crude oil is needed every year if you want to start all the warships, cannons and tanks of the empire? More than 300,000 barrels are enough to last for a few days!

It is obvious that the emperor with a slightly head also basically agreed with the current prime minister's opinion. It is indeed too much to lose when he launched a war for which small oil field in the kingdom. The emperor also knew a little bit about the financial tension of the empire.
