1098 Strategic Space (1/2)
Chapter 1098 – Strategic Space
Ouyang Shuo naturally had his reasons for warning Di Chen during Feng Qiuhuang's ascension ceremony.
A month ago, along with the Kangxi Emperor entering Jingdu, it announced the forming of an iron alliance with Jin country in the north, advancing and retreating at the same time. At the same time, it shrouded the military operation of Great Xia attacking Jin Country in a dark cloud.
Following which, Great Zhou and Great Qing also formed a strategic alliance.
All of sudden, the northern lands were covered in dark clouds, and a storm seemed to be brewing. It was a really nervous situation.
Di Chen was obviously just borrowing the strength of Great Qing, cooperating with them to stop any military operation of Great Xia in the north. The moment Great Xia took down Jin Country, in the north, there would not be a nail but a super castle.
With that, Great Xia would be pincering them in from the north and south, which was something Di Chen did not want to see.
Ouyang Shuo's attitude was similarly really determined. He ordered Beijiang Legion Corps marshal Yue Fei to prepare to fight. The moment the frontline preparations were completed, they would immediately start war with Jin Country.
Ouyang Shuo did not believe that Great Zhou would dare to do anything.
The moment Great Zhou dared to interfere, Ouyang Shuo did not mind starting a war against Great Zhou. Now, it was up to whether Di Chen had the courage to stir problems or not.
After the ascension ceremony ended, Ouyang Shuo was not in a hurry to return. Taking the chance, he revealed and shared with Feng Qiuhuang his intel regarding the Mongol country in the north.
One must not be fooled by how Genghis Khan was all quiet and did not make waves since he entered. Ouyang Shuo was not at ease.
Before Genghis Khan moved in, the Mongol tribes had started to infiltrate the Zhongyuan region to collect first hand intel. These grassland warriors definitely would not be happy with being cooped up in the grasslands.
The battle between Great Xia and the Mongols was inevitable.
Great Jin itself was connected with Mongolia, so they would obviously be wrapped up within it.
”We must be wary of Di Chen.”
Ouyang Shuo told Feng Qiuhuang.
”Understood!”
Feng Qiuhuang also came from a huge family, so she naturally understood the meanings within.
Along with Great Jin establishing its dynasty, the strategic space of Great Zhou was reduced once more. North, south, east, and west; no matter which direction, there was no space for Great Zhou to expand.
As for overseas, Great Zhou was also restricted.
The closest ASEAN did not need to be mentioned, as it belonged to Great Xia and Great Zhou had no way of entering. Further away would be the Americas, and their only choice was South America.
That was because North America belonged to the Dawson Dynasty and Di Chen did not dare to touch it.
outh America was not simple either.
Along with the first country war month ending, South America was forming a new empire - the Indian Empire. This empire led by natives was wrapping up the entire South America continent at a shocking speed.
Not mentioning Great Zhou, but even Great Xia would have to think about it if they wanted to interfere.
What made Di Chen feel worse was that along with Great Xia taking down Yingzhou Prefecture and the Pacific Squadron moving their headquarters there, they took control of half of the pacific route.
Not long ago, in the battle between the Pacific Squadron and the Dawson Dynasty Free Squadron, it ended in a tie, and they split Hawaii. Currently, they were now in a stalemate.
Along with the Pacific Squadron headquarters moving to Yingzhou Prefecture, they were not at a disadvantage in the battle against Free Squadron. Ouyang Shuo had ordered the Navy Headquarters to prioritize the Pacific Squadron being equipped with the Z1 Type Warships.
This time, the strategic space for Great Zhou became even smaller.
