Section 13 Lobbying (3)
It is precisely because the Maven Islands stretches for hundreds of miles, with hundreds of islands, varying in size, and the indigenous peoples on the island have no connection with the countries and ethnic groups on the mainland, so there has always been disputes about the sovereignty of the Maven Islands. However, this dispute only stays in the theoretical circles of various countries and has not been substantive. In fact, it has always been nominally owned by the southern coastal countries of the South China Sea Alliance. Western Xinjiang successfully obtained the sovereignty of the three islands by taking advantage of the last war and the Nanyang Alliance's psychology that the South China Sea Alliance originally did not attach much importance to the Maven Islands. Now Wang Jiexiu solemnly raised the issue of sovereignty of the Maven Islands. The hidden meaning behind it is naturally that he has an attempt to divide the Maven Islands, and let all the three countries participate as members. How can he not make the three people feel moved?
However, the three of them are not fools. The last time that Western Xinjiang gained sovereignty over the three islands was based on the victory of the war. This time, he was whimsical and wanted to divide the Mawen Islands. What is the reason? It is not easy to intervene just to find a reason. You can't just use this as an excuse to make a big fight just because of the theoretical circles of various countries.
Seeing the doubts after seeing the three of them being surprised, Wang Jiexiu knew that the three of them had already moved, but it was not so easy to convince the three of them that they believed in the feasibility of their plans.
"My dear sirs, I am not making this idea out of thin air, but with sufficient reasons. According to the situation we have mastered, the relationship between the South China Alliance immigrants and local indigenous peoples is quite tense on several islands that have been developed by the South China Alliance, and small-scale armed conflicts are constantly occurring. Of course, these indigenous people cannot stop the immigration of the Union with the state as the backing of the Union. However, these indigenous people have been insisting on relying on geographical advantages. It should be said that on several islands with relatively good natural conditions, this conflict has been continuing. Many colonists of the alliance even took brutal means to treat the local land.
The residents caused many large-scale bloody crimes. This consequence directly led to panic among the indigenous people around these islands, including all the undeveloped islands. While accusing them to the South China Sea Alliance, they also began to look for other ways out. "When seeing the three people's eyes falling on their faces, Wang Jiexiu shrugged and spread his hands casually, "As the sovereign owners of the three islands of the Maven Islands, we have also received requests from these indigenous peoples to accept their sovereignty, and expressed that they firmly do not recognize the sovereignty of the South China Sea Alliance over these islands that they have lived for generations."
"This is a troublesome thing. Of course, our Western Xinjiang will not intervene in such sovereignty disputes at will. After all, our naval power is too weak, and we do not want to conflict with our neighbors in the South Ocean because of this. However, such cases that such development may even turn into genocide tragedy are indeed shocking and worrying. Humanitarian disasters should not occur in the South Ocean, so Western Xinjiang believes that all members of the South Ocean should take responsibility.
We should actively participate in this matter, which is in our interests." The last sentence was a little bit smaller, but the three of us could hear it more clearly. "This is an opportunity given to us by God. I think the three adults will not let such opportunities slip away. It is still time to act now. Of course, the four countries should first make a rough division of the entire Maven Islands sphere of influence, so as not to maintain a consistent position in future negotiations."
Wang Jiexiu's words once again stirred up ripples in the hearts of the three of them. The three of them also knew that Wang Jiexiu had certainly had sufficient reasons to convince him. The reason raised by the other party is indeed a very appropriate excuse. The Three Kingdoms also paid great attention to the Maven Islands, especially after Western Xinjiang successfully obtained the sovereignty of the three islands in the Maven Islands, which made the Three Kingdoms it so itchy. None of them expected that the South China League would change the sovereignty of the three islands so easily, especially Princesa.
It is almost a hundred miles in the circumference, covered with forests and fertile land, but it is not a single penny to obtain it for Western Xinjiang (actually Wang Liao spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins), which is simply incredible. Now such an opportunity has appeared again, and the initiator of the previous incident seems to be full of interest. With the powerful military power of Western Xinjiang on land and the military power of the Three Kingdoms on sea, this dream that could not be imagined can be completely realized. If you miss this opportunity, you are afraid that you will never be at ease for the rest of your life.
"Mr. Jiexiu, can your opinion represent His Highness Qin himself?" After trying his best to calm down, Nelson asked solemnly after placing his thoughts by drinking. His words actually represented the opinions of the Three Kingdoms.
"Of course, since Jiexiu has been authorized by His Highness the King of Qin to go to the Southeast, he will naturally be allowed to do all the cheapest power. Please rest assured that the three kingdoms of Xijiang and the three kingdoms have just formed an alliance. Western Xinjiang relies on the West, and there are still many Western Xinjiang that rely on the Three Kingdoms. Of course, Western Xinjiang will also fulfill our responsibilities as our allies within the scope of the alliance." Wang Jiexiu said with a sigh, "But the issue of sovereignty in the Maven Islands should not be made public at this time to prevent the South China Sea Alliance from reuniting with the Maqi Khans because of this matter. Fortunately, you are afraid that there will be quite a lot of affairs to be arranged and carried out soon, and it is not appropriate to make a big splash in a short period of time. Xijiang also hopes that it is best to wait half a year for the specific division of sovereignty in the Maven Islands. I believe that the war situation in the Central Plains of the Empire should also be clear at that time. By then, the time is ripe, and it will be the season for us to harvest."
The three of them naturally understood the meaning of Wang Jiexiu's words. Now that the issue of sovereignty in the Mawen Islands was undoubtedly forcing the South China Alliance to board Maqikhan's pirate ship. This is of course something Western Xinjiang does not want to see. The condition proposed by Western Xinjiang is to let the Three Kingdoms drag the Maqikhan's army so that it has no time to look west, at least not to look west with all its strength to prevent it from interfering in the internal wars of the Tanghe Empire. This is also the most basic and core requirement of Western Xinjiang. As for the others, it is just exchange of interests and division.
The banquet ended and the crowd parted. Looking at the three of them leaving, Wang Jiexiu couldn't help but want to hum a tune in his hometown. Although the Three Kingdoms only agreed to conduct military exercises in the east, this was enough. Even if the time was short, as long as the Maqi Khans were delayed, his mission this time would be completed. Now everything depends on the methods of Fujie, the boy in Jiujiang.
Liu Fujie was not in Jiujiang. He had also brought Liu Fujie with him since he left Jiujiang and went to Huzhou. After staying in Jiujiang for more than a month, he had almost made no progress. Facing the remnant of Taiping, the face of the ancient Jingbubu, Liu Fujie himself almost lost confidence. Liu Fujie did not spend much energy on Situ Biao to notice something abnormal. The frequent mobilization of military forces was clearly preparing for some big moves. Liu Fujie did not believe that Situ Biao would help Xijiang attack Situ Tai, but he also firmly believed that Situ Biao did not have such courage to challenge Xijiang directly. The First Legion was placed in Guanxi to make anyone think about it. It was obvious that Situ Biao's goal was Jiujiang and Huzhou choked on his throat. It seemed that he wanted to use this time when all parties had no time to take care of it.
But Western Xinjiang is unwilling to see this scene, especially before Cheng Dayou made a formal statement, Liu Fujie hoped that Situ Biao's side would maintain a restrained attitude, but Situ Biao's attitude at this point seemed to be very tough, which made Liu Fujie a little worried. Let Cheng Dayou express his attitude as soon as possible seemed to be the only choice, but can Cheng Dayou express his attitude stop Situ Biao's military actions? Liu Fujie was not sure.
The rippling waves of Taihu Lake flashed with this dazzling golden light. The sun sets, and the sunshine outlines the brilliant clouds. Even the most beautiful fish-tooth brocade is beyond the reach. The colorful colors are hidden and unpredictable, making people feel refreshed. A faint golden light shone on the bow of the boat, wearing a blue shirt, white teeth and folding fan on a picture of the pine stream flowing under the pineapple stream. Liu Fujie silently stared at the chess game, and after a long time, he pushed the scale and said, "Mr. Cheng is indeed brilliant, and Fujie is ashamed of himself."
"Agree, admit that Brother Fujie is the real master. He can still talk and lie down at this time without panic. Do you think everything is under control?" The young man wearing a gray cloth shirt flickered his eyes and threw the remaining chess pieces into the chess basket. Finally, he turned his eyes to the distant horizon.
"Where does Lord Cheng start this? Fujie has been here for more than two months and has accomplished nothing. However, he has no responsibility to go back to see His Royal Highness Qin. He has to force his face to smile and eat and drink here with thick face." The man in blue-shirt's eyes turned and he figured out the other party's meaning. This person's performance today seems to be different from the past. Could it be that the situation in the west has changed?
"Brother Fujie is so calm. I have two news here. I don't know which one Brother Fujie wants to listen to first?" The man in gray seemed to be considering something, and after a while, "One is good and the other is bad, it depends on Brother Fujie's choice."
"What should come will come sooner or later, let alone what has happened. Who can tell whether it is good or bad? However, Fujie has been in Huzhou for more than half a month, and I feel so depressed that I am almost moldy. Please tell me this so-called good news first." The man in green smiled and shook his folding fan and said happily.
"The Western Frontier Army defeated the Eastern Expedition Army in the Western Regions, and Luo Beiren had withdrawn their troops to return west. Isn't this good news?" While checking the other party's expression to see if he knew it, he was also considering what way to start today's talk. The change in the situation seemed to force me to make a decision immediately. Although I wanted to observe for a while deep down, it seemed that there was no chance.
