Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

The Balkans during World War I. It's a powder keg.

And it completely broke out after the Serbian youth Princip assassinated Archduke Ferdinand, the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

However, with the end of World War I and the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the countries on the Balkan Peninsula became independent one after another.

It has become several countries, large and small.

These include the Kingdom of Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and Albaria.

However, at this time, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Kingdom of Romania, and the Kingdom of Bulgaria had chosen to join the Allied Powers camp where the Hans Empire was located.

Greece, Yugoslavia, and Albaria remained neutral.

Therefore, the Allied Powers turned their attention to these three countries. I want to win over these three countries to join the Allied Powers.

However, the three countries, which had suffered greatly from World War I, were not willing to accompany the big powers to fight another World War II, so the three countries very wisely rejected the invitation of the Allied Powers.

However, John Empire and Milician were not willing to see this scene.

In addition, landing from the three countries can reduce the casualties of soldiers and make it easier for them to land on the European continent.

Therefore, the John Empire and Milicia formulated a landing plan and named it "Aegean Sea".

9 mentioned in the plan that if after the outbreak of World War I. In order to defeat the enemy as soon as possible, John's Empire and Millican will organize a landing force of people to land from Athens.

After taking control of Greece, head all the way north and enter the Yugoslavia region.

After entering the Yugoslavia region, you can attack the Kingdom of Bulgaria and Romania eastward.

As long as these two countries could be defeated, the Entente would gain a major advantage in the Balkans.

At that time, the Allies could choose whether to continue attacking Austria or go directly north to attack the Hans Empire.

Of course, this plan has not been implemented yet. We are still at the stage of trying to win over the two countries.

John's Empire and America still hope that the other party will agree to join the Allied Powers.

In this case, they could easily achieve the effect of suddenly attacking the Hans Empire.

After talking about Europe and America, the situation in Asia is also very complicated.

War, especially a world-class war like this that affects many countries around the world, can never be started by one or two countries.

It is the total manifestation and the total outbreak of conflicts between countries.

In Asia and the Middle East, things are fine. Although countries have some conflicts, they have not reached the point of tense situations.

For example, with the decline of the Ottoman Empire, the Ottomans, who were originally extremely powerful and could challenge the entire Europe, could only retreat to the Balkans, Asia, and North Africa.

With the end of World War I, the Ottomans, as a victorious country, could not escape being dismembered by various countries.

First, they lost their territory in North Africa, and then due to some special reasons, the Ottomans lost the Balkans and could only shrink their power back to Istanbul.

Then, Daxia took action to support the independence of the Kingdom of Najd and established the Saudi dynasty. and successfully controlled the Arabian Peninsula.

Then the Persian Kingdom became independent and invaded the Mesopotamia, forcing the Ottoman Empire to retreat to the Asian Peninsula.

At the same time, the Budapest Republic in the north also began to compete with the Ottomans for the Caucasus, further compressing the Ottomans' living space.

Coupled with the sluggish domestic economy of the Ottoman Empire, it has not been able to get out of the war until now.

Therefore, the current Ottoman Empire is extremely honest.

They only hope to be able to hold Asia and Istanbul.

For this reason, they gave up their sovereignty in other areas and reached understandings with neighboring countries.

At the same time, through the matchmaking of the Saudi Kingdom, the Ottoman Empire and Bactria were connected.

And after paying for economic policies such as allowing Daxia businessmen to build factories and invest in the Ottomans, as well as tariff reductions and exemptions for both parties, Daxia guaranteed its territorial integrity and security.

When it comes to territorial integrity and security, Bactria only recognizes the Asian Peninsula and Istanbul currently occupied by the Ottoman Empire, which is also the land owned by the Ottoman Empire in later generations.

The current Ottoman Empire, with the help of Daxia, has finally regained some strength, and the domestic economic environment has improved.

Therefore, at present, Osman does not want to take sides, they just want to make money honestly.

However, it is also lamentable that a superpower that originally spanned three continents, Asia, Europe and Africa, and almost turned the Mediterranean into its own inland sea, has become what it is now.

Like the Ottoman Empire, the Kingdom of Persia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were unwilling to start a war.

After all, these two countries, with the help of Daxia, have found oil fields and started to make money from the oil fields.

The treaties Daxia signed with the two countries were fairly fair, at least much more amicable than those of other world-class powers.

The conditions Daxia gave them were either a joint venture, in which case both parties would share the profits from the crude oil sold equally.

Either Daxia would provide money, effort and manpower to build the oil fields, and then give 30% of the profits from the sales to the other party.

The Kingdom of Persia still had some strength before, so they chose to sign a joint venture with Daxia and share the profits equally.

As for Saudi Arabia, it was so poor at the beginning that it couldn't even come up with start-up capital.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia chose to distribute profits directly.

However, Lin Yi considered avoiding these areas from becoming jealous of Daxia for making money in the future, and then hating Daxia, so he told both parties that the method of profit sharing could be changed every ten years, but the ownership of the oil fields must be determined by Daxia. share.

This means that if you don’t have money now, it doesn’t matter. You can choose pure profit sharing first. When you have money in your hands ten years later, we will choose the joint venture model.

However, steps such as oil field mining and construction must be approved by Daxia.

In this regard, both the Kingdom of Persia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia agreed. And through contracts, it was determined that the oil fields of the two countries would be handed over to Daxia.

In fact, to put it bluntly, whether it is Persia or Saudi Arabia, they have all had contact with countries such as the John Empire and Millikin.

With their temper, if they knew that there was oil in the two countries, what awaited them would definitely not be a peace treaty, but warships coming to force you to cede the operations of the oil fields.

At the same time, they also knew that they could not hold on to these oil fields without Daxia, and the conditions provided by Daxia were not bad.

Therefore, they sincerely want to exploit the underground oil fields with Daxia.

Let's talk about Daxia. Under the influence of Daxia's traditional culture, Daxia likes to pay attention to one thing when doing things, and the principle of leaving a line in everything so that we can meet each other easily in the future.

Therefore, on the premise of ensuring its own interests, Daxia is willing to earn less to ensure the stability of the region.

Because Daxia knows that fishing in the lake is not a long-term solution.

If you tighten the pressure on Persia and Saudi Arabia and prevent them from having a bite of meat in the oil field, then they will always hate you and always want to drive you out.

And in order to maintain your occupation of the oil fields, you can only constantly instigate neighboring countries to go to war with the countries that own the oil fields.

This in turn causes a certain area to become full of war.

Just like Milician in later generations, in order to stabilize his interests in the Middle East, he could only instigate conflicts between countries, so that he could control the output of crude oil.

But how long can such an operation last?

Lies will eventually be exposed one day, and when that day comes, you will face the hatred of all countries in the region.

For example, Millican in later generations.
