Chapter 952 Armistice Negotiations

The Daheng Empire sending troops to the Varia Empire does not mean that it has formed an alliance with the Varia Empire to fight against the Kokel Empire.

Therefore, the Daheng Empire's so-called sending troops did not directly send troops to participate in the war, but sent troops to the Orgen military base, which was a coastal military port that the Varia Empire leased to the Daheng Empire in the name of leasing land in exchange for supplies.

\bBut even though the Daheng Empire did not directly send troops to participate in the war, and only sent about 100,000 troops to land and stationed at the Orgen military base, this also showed the attitude of the Daheng Empire.

That is to let the Kekel Empire stop as soon as it feels like it, and don't go too far.

As for the attitude of the Daheng Empire, the Kele Empire must pay attention to it.

In the past year or so of war, the Daheng Empire has completely defeated the navy of the Kingdom of Krul, carried out a comprehensive strategic maritime blockade of the Kingdom of Krul, and frequently attacked the coastal areas of the Kingdom of Krul.

, causing the Krul Kingdom to suffer heavy losses.

Judging from the current situation, the Daheng Empire has completely replaced the Krul Kingdom and has become the number one power on Blue Star, and has a stronger war potential than the previous Krul Kingdom.

First of all, the strategic depth of the Daheng Empire is greater. Relying on the base camp of the central continent, plus the southern continent in the back garden, the Daheng Empire directly controls an area with a total population of more than 700 million, and can obtain a large amount of industrial raw materials and huge industries from it.

market.

To put it bluntly, the Daheng Empire can maintain its rapid economic development even if it relies on the resources of these two continents.

This point is unmatched by the Kingdom of Krul. The Kingdom Island where the Kingdom of Krul is located is actually not too small, but in addition to basic resources such as coal, iron ore and oil, some other special mineral resources are not considered

It is too rich, and the fatal flaw is that there is not much arable land.

This also makes the Kingdom of Krul more dependent on external sources of industrial raw materials, food sources, and shipping.

When their navy was defeated, the Kingdom of Krul instantly fell into trouble.

And this will not happen in the Daheng Empire.

Even if the external war fails, the Daheng Empire can still live a comfortable life in the central continent. It has all kinds of industrial raw materials and plenty of food.

Even because other countries blocked the Daheng Empire's maritime transportation, a large amount of Daheng's food could not be shipped out, and many people in other countries had to starve to death...

Such a Daheng Empire poses a greater strategic threat and deserves more attention from the Kekel Empire.

As for the Daheng Empire, it doesn't have any big ideas. Daheng people naturally don't care about the life and death of these countries in the Western Continent. As long as there is no dominant family in the Western Continent, then the Daheng Empire can accept it.

At this point, the Daheng Empire actually has lower demands than the Kingdom of Krul.

Of course, how to deal with the situation on the Western continent in the future will have to wait until later.

For the Daheng Empire, the focus now is on the war with the Kingdom of Krul and the armistice negotiations.

Now the two countries have officially entered the armistice negotiation stage, but the differences between the two sides are too great.

The Daheng Empire’s demands mainly include four clauses:

The first is that the Kingdom of Krull unconditionally transferred overseas islands and colonies, including Dongji Island, to the Daheng Empire. This is to completely cut off the overseas expansion of the Kingdom of Krull, which does not have a huge colonial overseas military base to rely on.

The Ruhr Kingdom's global navy is a joke, and the Daheng Empire itself currently lacks a large number of overseas military bases.

This condition will actually have a more significant impact, that is, the Kingdom of Krull will officially hand over the power of world hegemony to the Daheng Empire.

The second article is that the Kingdom of Krul will transfer some of the affiliated islands of Kingdom Island to the Daheng Empire for trusteeship. Some of these islands under trusteeship are islands that the Daheng Empire has already controlled, and some are not controlled yet.

But it is an island with a relatively important strategic position.

If the Daheng Empire can control these islands, when a second war breaks out between the two sides in the future, the Daheng Empire will be able to rely on these islands at any time to reorganize a blockade network.

You can use your fleet to cut off their sea transportation, and you can also rely on the air bases on these islands to carry out strategic bombing against the Kingdom of Krul.

The third article requires the Kingdom of Krul to respect the independence and freedom of all ethnic groups. To put it bluntly, the Daheng Empire hopes that other ethnic groups on the Kingdom Island will establish independent countries. It is best to restore the previous structure of the five kingdoms. Of course,

This is unlikely. It is no different from directly splitting the Krul Kingdom. No one with any brains in their senior management will agree to it.

The fourth article is more conventional war reparations. Regarding this point, although the Daheng Empire has proposed an astronomical war reparations, it actually does not attach much importance to it. The purpose of the reparations is not for money, but purely for money.

After suppressing the Krul Kingdom's economic recovery after the war, industry and commerce were restored.

Article 5, restrictions on armaments, requires that the total tonnage of the Kingdom of Krul's navy shall not exceed 500,000 tons. It shall not build or develop aircraft carriers or battleships exceeding 35,000 tons. It shall not equip more than 1,000 military aircraft.

Etc., etc., but there are not many restrictions on ground troops.

In addition to these five major conditions, there are many other small conditions, such as punishing the war criminals who provoked the war, requiring the King of Krul Kingdom to go to Jingzhou to apologize in person, etc. These are actually minor conditions.

, is not worth mentioning compared to the five major conditions above.

Many of the conditions of the Daheng Empire have a very clear purpose, that is, they do not want the Krul Kingdom to regain its strength and challenge the Daheng Empire in more than ten years.

Naturally, the Kingdom of Krul would not agree!

Not to mention that five of them agreed together, they didn’t agree to any of them!

It would be better to cede overseas colonies. Anyway, they can't keep these overseas colonies now that their naval strength has been greatly reduced. However, if they cede Dongji Island and the mainland coastal islands, they will suffer heavy losses.

Respecting the independence and freedom of all ethnic groups is even more nonsense. The Kingdom of Krul would rather engage in a decisive battle on its own territory than split up on its own.

As for compensation, the compensation figure proposed by Hengmanzi is huge, which is also impossible.

It is even more nonsense to limit armaments. The reason why most Kruls, especially the military personnel, agreed to negotiate is because they want to endure it for a while, then develop the military industry, and then find Daheng after destroying a batch of warships.

People want to take revenge. If you ask them to directly restrict armaments, they will stop doing it.

Therefore, given the current situation, it is difficult for the Krull people to agree to the five major conditions proposed by the Daheng Empire to the Krul Kingdom.

And it is impossible for the Daheng people to agree to the truce conditions proposed by the Krul Kingdom. The truce conditions proposed by the Krul people are very simple. The two sides should return to the pre-war situation... This does not mean that Daheng has fought this war for nothing.

Therefore, it is normal for the two parties to have too great differences in negotiations and not be able to reach an agreement.

And if they can't reach an agreement, the Daheng Empire will naturally not stop the war and plan to use war to promote peace!
