The diplomats of the Kingdom of Liej promised to the major powers that once the Kingdom of Liej regains the Ken area, you can exploit the oil resources as much as possible. We will never interfere. We only hope that the oil industry can create some jobs. If it can still be done locally,
It would be better to build one or two refineries.
And we will never directly take shares in the oil company like the Kingdom of Orr. Our Kingdom of Lieji advocates a free market economy. Our government only collects taxes, and it is limited to normal taxes and fees. The specific amount can be easily discussed.
We don't even care about the share of oil supply, and we can't control it. You big countries can discuss it among yourselves.
In short, the Kingdom of Lieji is holding the Carfians' Kenn oil field and constantly making promises to the major countries, but no one has taken them seriously for the time being.
A mere third-rate small country actually wants to negotiate terms with major countries, and they negotiate terms with major countries based on interests that do not belong to them.
Diplomats from major countries generally believe that the Lej people are crazy!
As for whether the Republic of Ken will break away from Carfiya in the future, whether it will return to the Kingdom of Leji, or simply become a truly independent country, these all need to be comprehensively judged by the major powers based on the situation of the Carfiya Empire, no matter how they judge.
, will not be affected by the Lieji people.
Poor Lej people, the Ken area belonged to the Lej Kingdom a few decades ago, but now, no one cares about what they think.
Even the Carfians were too lazy to pay attention to the Lejians.
If the Daheng people had not intervened during the Leji Incident and led to the defeat of the Carfiya Empire, the Carfiya people would have taken the opportunity to directly enter the hinterland of the Leji Kingdom and capture the entire Leji Kingdom.
Used to establish puppet colonies.
Although the Kingdom of Lieji also has an army of hundreds of thousands, and the navy has also ordered two armored cruisers from the Daheng Empire, its strength is not comparable to that of other major powers. Even the Kingdom of Orr across the strait can defeat them.
Hit it.
Weak countries have no say!
Therefore, on December 24, at a multinational meeting of envoys held in the capital of the Carphia Empire, the Legislative envoy was not even qualified to enter the venue.
This meeting of ministers was not initiated by other countries, but by the Carfiya Empire itself. They took the initiative to invite the ministers of the other seven major powers in Carfia to attend the meeting.
What to discuss?
Discuss the development of the Kenn Field!
In the past ten days or so, the Garfia Empire has clearly felt the malice of the major powers through many channels. It was especially alarmed by the Daheng people's move to send a mobile fleet southward and reinforce Bova again.
!
All fools know what the Daheng people are doing by sending their fleet south this time. Their naval fleet is not for conducting ocean-going exercises at all, and their army units are not just for ordinary defense changes as publicly stated.
They want to increase the number of Bova troops. This is not only to put military pressure on the Carfiya Empire, but also to put pressure on other countries.
In the southwest continent, except for the Carfiya Empire itself, everyone else, including Daheng, are outsiders.
The deployment of military power relies on sea transportation and overseas military bases. The Kingdom of Krul is a colony with a small archipelago in the northern coastal waters of the Kingdom of Ken. It has a military base on it and has the best conditions.
The people of Daheng built a Bova military base in the protruding area in the eastern part of the Lieji Kingdom.
In the past two years, Kekel, the Varia Empire, and the Orissa Kingdom have also followed the Daheng Empire and signed a lease agreement with the Kingdom of Lieji. Although it is not like the Daheng people, they directly transferred most of the city and port.
It was leased as a military base, but a small area was also obtained for use as a forward base.
In this case, it is actually quite troublesome for everyone to deploy military power. Just the maritime transportation and logistical supply of large-scale troops are very troublesome.
Otherwise, in the past few decades, the Kingdom of Krul would not have relied on supporting the Iboian Empire to fight against the Carfiya Empire, because it cost a lot to project military power over long distances, and the Carfiya Empire was not a small or medium-sized country.
, but one of the eight powerful countries with a basic industrial scale. If someone is aggressive, they can mobilize an army of one or two million.
This is also why other countries saw that the Daheng Empire increased its troops. Although they also increased their troops, the scale of the increase was limited.
The countries headed by the Kingdom of Krul actually want to rely on diplomatic pressure to achieve their goals.
In fact, these countries do not have to completely control the Republic of Kean and control the entire large oil field. They only need to ensure that they can obtain a certain share of oil production capacity.
However, this is not the case for the Daheng Empire!
The Daheng Empire does not want any share of oil. If possible, the Daheng Empire would rather just let a super bomb go over and blow up the entire oil field.
What the Daheng Empire wants is an oil blockade strategy. Even if it cannot continue the oil blockade strategy, it must strive to control the exploration and supply of oil and the dominance of the pricing system.
What the Daheng people want is different from other countries, and they may also be jointly opposed by other countries.
Countries have been very dissatisfied with the Daheng Empire's oil blockade strategy before. Now they have finally arrived at the Ken Oil Field and have a chance to get a share of the pie. Now you Daheng people come over and say, don't count on this oil field. I
Gonna blow it up.
Countries, especially the Kingdom of Krul, may be going crazy!
Differences in interests also led to the failure of this meeting of ministers from the eight countries!
Because on the first day of the meeting, before the ministers from other countries could speak, and even the landowner, the Carfiya Empire, had not put forward their own ideas, Daheng’s minister in Cara came up with a so-called authorization agreement and said
The Daheng Empire Shayang Bay Petroleum Company has signed an exclusive Ken'an Oil Field development agreement with the local government of the Republic of Ke'an, so in this meeting, issues related to the Ke'an Oil Field can be skipped!
Is there anything else that can be discussed? We can discuss other things...
The envoys from the other seven countries were immediately speechless!
You Daheng people are too shameless to say such things!
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Gafia, who was in charge of the meeting, was even more stunned. "The Republic of Ken and you signed an agreement? How come we didn't know?"
Without our approval, how could the Republic of Kean sign an agreement with you?
As a result, it turned out, oh my god, it was really an exclusive oil development agreement signed directly between Sayang Bay Company and the Republic of Kean.
The agreement was signed just three days ago with the Business Council, the direct management structure of the Kean Republic, and also had the signature and seal of the local governor where the oil field is located.
