To increase the trust of several others, John said again:
"The existence of the ruins is certain, but my teacher traveled around the world and did not stay on the Persian Peninsula for too long. As everyone knows, the desertified environment is very unfriendly to natural professionals. So he
I only found a general trace and did not go deep into the remains, but I found that under the barren land of the Persian Peninsula, there is another resource in addition to the ruins of the Arcane Empire."
Master Ham, the sword saint of Lieyan, spoke:
“What resource?”
For the Arcane Empire, the person in the Sword Saint profession, he just felt that he was very powerful, but he did not care as much as a spellcaster like Igram. As one of the participants in the incident, he had no other forces behind him, so the benefits he could get
It's very limited, so why not pay attention to other interests.
A bottle of dark blue liquid sealed with a crystal bottle appeared in John's hand, a common alchemy fuel.
"In the desert of the Persian Peninsula, my teacher discovered a black oily substance buried underground. For nature, this oily substance is a pollutant, and neither animals nor plants like this thing
. According to Mr. Vandal's analysis, this kind of thing is likely to be related to the magic disaster that the Arcane Empire was destroyed. Although this oily object is sticky and has a strange smell, it has great combustibility, it is related to alchemy fuel
The characteristics are very similar. However, the black smoke burned by this black oil is also very toxic to organisms. It is obviously not composed of single substances, but a complex of multiple substances. I think these black oils are very
It is valuable and can be purified through experiments and extracted the complex substances inside. Perhaps some extremely valuable products can be found. In the least, it can also be refined and replaced by the alchemy fuel that can only be produced by this alchemy.
The source of power for steam machinery and alchemy cannons!”
If it were people from John's previous life, if anyone asked about the underground resources in the desert area, most of them would say "oil" in unison!
Although John didn't know whether the black oil buried under the Persian Peninsula was oil or not, through the description of his teacher Vandal, he could be sure that this thing is definitely a kind of fuel.
However, no one in this world seems to have discovered oil, and the fuel used is only coal resources, as well as alchemy fuel and alchemy explosives produced through alchemy, etc.
The latter is a product extracted from certain minerals and coal, and even some elemental energy is involved. The output is limited and the price is relatively high. It cannot be popularized all over the world. It can only be used in a few specific occasions. If there is a
The emergence of natural raw materials that replace alchemy fuels is definitely a major discovery that can change the world's energy landscape.
Even if Ham, the swordsman, does not understand the situation of alchemy technology and steam mechanical power? But he only needs to know the price of alchemy fuel? He will understand the benefits.
So after the five members of the Holy Empire discussed, they unanimously decided that everything else could be given up appropriately? The Persian Peninsula must be taken down.
Of course, Hall, who had previous negotiation experience, also understood that he could not be too anxious? So when they walked out of the room and started a new round of negotiations again, the previous tense atmosphere on both sides eased a lot.
In fact, in the turmoil in the southwest of the Indian Empire? The Brooks could not withstand the pressure first and had issued orders to the negotiating team of Malghada.
On the contrary, Prince Harry, who was the negotiator, stood up and argued with Hall of the Double Eagle family. Earl Gauss also supported Prince Harry's choice? In the end, it was regressed by the Holy Empire and saved Brooke's humiliation of cede land and paying for compensation.
Although the only thing to be seized is the land of the Indian colony, for any of the three great powers? This is also a huge humiliation.
Hall finally said: "How about this? Brook conquered the Indian Empire. Within the scope of the Indian Empire, my sacred Empire remained neutral and did not interfere with Brook's rule over the Indian Empire in any way, but Brook also admitted to moving to Ceyland soon.
The Peacock Empire on the island is the protector of our sacred empire! On this basis, we must withdraw from the Persian Peninsula and recognize the Persian Peninsula as a colony of our empire.”
Prince Harry and Earl Gauss looked at each other? I don’t understand why the Holy Empire is eyeing the Persian Peninsula.
Compared with the Persian Plateau where the Persian Empire is located, the Persian Peninsula is undoubtedly more remote and deserted? The population is less than hundreds of thousands, and almost most of it is desert.
Although Brook is currently demarcating the Persian Peninsula as his own colony? In fact, it is just like a puppy pissing a terrain? Just setting up two supply points on two limited port oasis? There is no way to control the Persian Peninsula at all.
The other two of the three great powers have also established such strongholds on the peninsula, among which the Holy Empire is more. If the desert on the Persian Peninsula is abandoned for the interests of the Indian side, it will undoubtedly be very cost-effective for Brook.
of.
Among the representatives of Brooke, there are a few people who are used to diplomacy, and they seem to want to habitually grasp the team of the Holy Empire. However, after Prince Harry and Earl Gauss looked at each other, they decided to accept the other party when they saw the opportunity.
This condition.
Then Harry unified his opinion on behalf of the royal family and the government, expressing his acceptance of the proposal from the Holy Empire.
It would be impossible not to admit it. This operation to conquer India, ninety-nine steps, just a tremor. Now the people of the Holy Empire hold the direct heir of the Mauryan Dynasty, and they just want to restore the dynasty on Ceylon Island, and the Heavenly Empire
There are many people in the empire who are interested in the Mauryan Dynasty. Once they do not agree to the other side, the Holy Empire will take the title of the Mauryan Dynasty and will not withdraw from the two southwest states. Not to mention expelling Brooke's power, at least splitting a small half of the territory of the Indian Empire.
It is entirely possible that a civil war will be fought with the support of both sides.
Now the Holy Empire has taken the initiative to give the conditions, but in fact, they are taking a step back first. Brooke is not at a loss, so they naturally have to follow the steps.
Anyway, if you occupy millions of square miles of vast land on the richest Indian Empire, the Ceylon Island on the other side is nothing. Give it to the Holy Empire as a purchase of peace.
Of course, this is also because the competitor is a powerful country like the Holy Empire. If it were other small countries, the Brooks would not mind swallowing the "small island" of Ceylon in tens of thousands of square miles.
As for the Persian Peninsula, it is not the Persian Plateau where the Persian Empire is located. The Persian Peninsula is nominally a vassal of the Audes Empire. However, due to severe desertification, it almost reaches more than 80% of the total area, and the total population does not exceed
More than 100,000 are some nomadic peoples who believe in the Star and Moon Cult. Not only is it difficult to rule, but no valuable resources have been discovered. Therefore, the Brooks were disdainful and would choose to set up a colony on the Persian Peninsula.
It is just to seize the colony and prevent other countries from occupying it.
But as a sacred empire that established colonies at the same time, the Brooks had no way to expel them.
Such a barren and strategic place is not very important. Brooke, as a colonial power, actually doesn't want to give it away for free. He is still refining funds every year, but the supply points he invested in were not easy to abandon. Now he is just throwing it to the Holy Empire.
It’s good to give the other party a headache, which also reduces the burden on the Imperial Colonial Department.
