As someone who has come before, Wan Lei is more eager for oil than the average person. As long as it is a major oil-producing area, he will find a way to get involved. Even if it cannot be developed now, he will occupy it first. Not only the Arabian Peninsula, but also the tentacles of the Peking Army
It also extended to the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
The Grand Duchy of Moscow was actually a vassal state under the Golden Horde, which had been ruled by the Mongols for a long time. However, since the rise of the Timur Khanate, the Golden Horde was attacked by the Timur Khanate, and its national power declined greatly.
The glory of the past,
Grand Duke Vasily of the Principality of Muscovy had the ambition to become independent and even replace the Golden Horde. He constantly sent envoys to the Republic of China, hoping to establish a strategic alliance with the Republic of China and attack the dying Golden Horde from east to west.
Although the Grand Duchy of Moscow is located in a corner of Europe, Wan Lei knows that this country has ambitions. It not only covets the territory of the former Golden Horde in central Zhongzhou, but also has great interests in the vast West Boer region in northern Zhongzhou.
Ambition.
The West Bol area is actually Siberia. This large area is mostly forested and snowy. It was originally under the jurisdiction of the Lingbei Province and Liaoyang Province of the Yuan Dynasty. Now the Mongols were driven out of the Mongolian Plateau by the Peking Army, and some remaining tribes fled there.
Although there have been frequent quarrels in this area, they have ceased to be a problem. Over the years, Wan Lei has been busy with the wars in the East China Sea and South China Sea, and has never paid attention to the control of the West Boer area.
However, things are not what they used to be. In the bitter cold areas of the past, there are endless mineral deposits underground. Especially in the western region of Sibor, there are a large amount of oil and coal resources, and iron ore resources are also very rich. It is an ideal area for the development of heavy industry. Since the internal combustion engine
After the invention, Wan Lei began to focus some energy on controlling the Sibor area.
Of course, with the existing military strength of the Peiping Army, the combined number of the Northwest Military Region and Liaodong Military Region is only a little over 160,000 people. With such a small number of people, it is definitely impossible to control such a vast area. Wan Lei advocated the method of cannibalization.
Railways were built point by point to the Western Region and Northern Xinjiang. Wherever the railways were extended, the scope of control expanded to read the full text of "Rebirth of Luo Ying".
At the same time, Wan Lei also actively contacted Western countries such as the Muscovy Principality, the Byzantine Empire, and the Ottoman Empire, and obtained "nominal" control over some important areas through contracting. As long as there is legal basis for it, in the future,
When sending troops to occupy, they also made a name for themselves.
In mid-July, a delegation sent by the Grand Duke of Moscow arrived in Peiping to discuss the use of troops against the Golden Horde. After more than ten days of negotiations, Wan Lei finally agreed to organize an expedition against the Golden Horde within the next few years, and Moscow
The envoy also agreed to the demarcation agreement of the Republic of China in the covenant, that is, using the Ural Mountains as the boundary, the west is owned by the Principality of Moscow, and the east is under the jurisdiction of the Republic of China.
Through this demarcation agreement, the Republic of China legally gained more than 10 million square kilometers of territory east of the Ural Mountains. As for when the expeditionary force will set out, it will have to wait until the Anxi Railway is fully opened and military supplies are replenished.
It will probably take another three years to wait.
Although the expedition is temporarily unable to take place, the Northwest Military Region and the Liaodong Military Region have already joined forces to gather military forces in the southeast of Xibor and the central part of Zhongzhou, and began to clean up the remaining Mongolian forces in the surrounding areas, compressing and encroaching on the territory of the Golden Horde, and containing the Golden Horde.
The military power of the Khanate
, making it unable to take care of the Principality of Moscow and leaving the Principality of Moscow with the ability to organize a resistance force. This is the greatest help to the Principality of Moscow. The Principality of Moscow is very satisfied with this, otherwise it would not have agreed so readily to the Ural Mountains.
as a boundary.
Of course, a contract is a contract. As for whether the Principality of Moscow will actually fulfill the terms of the contract, Wan Lei has no assumptions. The so-called truth is only within the range of artillery. When the Anxi Railway is opened, the Peking Army will have control over the Western Region and Northern Xinjiang.
no longer
On paper, through the Anxi Railway, the Peiping Army can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to the Tianshan area in a short period of time, and can attack the Western Region and Northern Xinjiang at any time. If the Muscovite Principality, Timur Khanate and other countries dare to make any changes, then
Just use the army to fight.
While concentrating on the management of the Western Regions, Wan Lei did not neglect the management of Nanyang. Two years ago, the Southwest Military Region took control of the Annan Kingdom, established the Guangnan Special Zone, and began to concentrate its efforts on putting pressure on the Burmese State, eventually forcing it to lease
A seaport was used as a naval base for the Republic of China. With the establishment of the military port, the Peking Army's navy officially extended its tentacles to the Indian Ocean, creating a bridgehead for future invasions of India and the Arab world.
Not just Myanmar, starting from mid-July of the sixth year of the Chinese calendar, the navy and marines began to deploy troops on the island of Ceylon in southern India. After landing, they launched surprise troops to besiege the country's capital and captured the country's king, Ariel Kunel.
Controlled the island of Ceylon in one fell swoop.
Ariel Kunel was unpopular in the Indian Ocean area and was unfriendly to his neighbors. He often robbed and killed passing merchant travelers. He was no different from a pirate nation. The neighboring Indian states hated him with hatred. Now the Peking Army and Navy are attacking the King of Ceylon.
It can be regarded as eliminating harm for Indians, which is very satisfying.
After the navy captured the island of Ceylon, it controlled the eastern part of the Indian Ocean, extended its tentacles to the Arabian Sea, and finally established maritime hegemony in the Indian Ocean. In October of the same year, the navy's expedition to the Persian Gulf defeated the maritime coalition of Persia and the Arabs and took control of Persia.
Bay, and in one fell swoop
They occupied Bahrain Island in the Persian Gulf and set up a naval base on the island. Using Bahrain Island as a base, the Marine Corps continuously sent troops to plunder coastal areas, and even preemptively occupied some major oil-producing areas.
Colonize the Persian Gulf coast.
Such large-scale expansion of the Republic of China has stimulated the countries in Southeast Asia and the Western Regions. These countries are envious of the strength of the Republic of China and the prosperity of the people, and want to get a share of it. Among them, the most enthusiastic country is Luzon.
The country keeps sending missions to Peking, not because it wants to buy ships
The ship just wanted to send overseas students, as if it did not regard itself as an outsider. When the Republic of China refused even a little bit, the country jumped up and even openly supported the pirate group and blocked the maritime trade routes of the Republic of China. In short, in order to obtain ships and
Related technologies are already used in every possible way.
As an island country, Luzon can only rely on the sea to eat. It is not surprising that it is keen on developing maritime power. However, the South China Sea is the backyard of the Republic of China. How could Wan Lei let his own backyard catch fire? And ships are the Republic of China's maintenance of maritime power.
The foundation of hegemony will not be resold.
Although the Republic of China is now busy occupying oil fields all over the world, it does not mean that it is easy to bully. Facing the clown-like Luzon State, Wan Lei has long lost his patience and turned the people originally stationed on the Spice Island in southern Luzon away.
The Navy's Fifth Fleet transferred north to prepare for the use of troops against Luzon.
Because if these clowns are not eliminated and the sea roads are uneven, it will be impossible to concentrate on developing the oil fields in Arabia.
