Chapter 1429 Mainland Policy Westward Strategy
Yang Yan's words made Gao Huan and all the bigwigs of the Councillor.
Isn’t Tsarist Russia going to war against Ganchao at this time?
If they attacked a year and a half in advance, Gao Huan was in India and could still support the Allies and distract Gao Huan. But now Gao Huan has returned home, and it is not the best time to attack.
Gao Huan looked at each other with all the big guys, and they were a little confused. They didn't understand why Tsarist Russia suddenly attacked and fought hard at this time.
"Where is the military newspaper?" Gao Huan said in a deep voice.
Yang Yan quickly reported to the general, Gao Huan took it and quickly scanned the content above.
"Tsarist Russia assembled 200,000 troops to raid Anxi and Beiting with the intention of seizing the Western Regions!" Gao Huan sneered: "They have such great ambitions!"
After reading the General's report, Gao Huan handed it to several big bosses, "What do you think?"
After several people gathered together to read, Du Yinxi looked up and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Shizhong's memorial said that in addition to the Tsarist Russia's head-on attack, there are also enemies who destroy the railways in Yarkand, kill the people and create unrest! Could this be our railway construction? Tsarist Russia is worried that our strength in the Western Regions will be strengthened, so it is better to take action first?"
Gao Huan nodded, "There is a possibility! But the choice of this time is really inconceivable."
Chen Zilong said: "Previously, our country and the Allies were fighting in India, and the news from Tsarist Russia lag behind. They should think that His Majesty is still in India, so they misjudged the situation."
India is very far away from Tsarist Russia, and there are no telegrams now, so the message is spreading slowly.
Gao Huan has returned to Ganchao. The information from Tsarist Russia probably thought Gao Huan was still fighting in India, so he wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of Ganchao and quickly seize the Western Regions and drive Ganchao's forces out of Central Asia.
Gao Huan said coldly: "Hmph, no matter whether Tsarist Russia has been planning for a long time or has made a temporary mistake in judging the situation, I will turn him into my vassal state this time!"
"Your Majesty, that Yinzhou?" Chen Zilong couldn't help asking when he saw Gao Huan was trying to expedition the West.
As a representative of the Southeast Consortium, Chen Zilong pays more attention to overseas trade and land expansion.
Gao Huan was also silent when he heard the words. He originally wanted to send troops to seize Yinzhou, but he did not expect another war in Anxi.
Fighting on both sides has been a taboo since ancient times. Whether to move to the next step toward the east or west must have a key point.
Gao Huan pondered and asked, "A few dear friends think I should go west first or help Yinzhou first?"
Du Yinxi and others immediately had a disagreement. Chen Zilong said: "Your Majesty, the railway to Anxi has not been opened yet, and the railway in Beiling Province has not been built. I think it is not the time for the western expedition. I just need to send troops to repel Tsarist Russia, and there is no need to kill Moscow! After the Allies learned about India's situation, they will definitely react. If they cannot counterattack India, they will most likely reinforce Yinzhou. Therefore, I think the focus of the court should be on fighting for Yinzhou!"
Gao Huan nodded slightly, feeling that what he said made some sense.
"Your Majesty, I think the focus of the court should always be on the Eurasian continent!" Du Yinxi said.
Ganchao schools have already offered geography courses, continuing the division of five continents and three oceans. The continent where Ganchao is located is called the Eurasian continent and is the core area of the entire world.
"Oh?" Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Tell me, your opinion!"
Du Yinxi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have recently studied world history and found that thousands of people are in the Eurasian continent, and all the great empires were born on this land. This means that whoever controls the Eurasian continent can dominate the world."
Gao Huan nodded. Eurasia, also known as the World Island, has long been the center of the world.
Historically, Britain and the United States did not control the entire world, but they adopted an offshore balance strategy to dismember and weaken the powerful empires on the world island to dominate the world.
Britain dismembered the Ottomans, destroyed the Mughals, semi-colonized China, suppressed Germany, and America destroyed the Soviet Union, and then achieved hegemony.
As long as a powerful empire appears on the Eurasian continent, those offshore island countries will not be able to truly control the world.
To change the idea, if the mainland powers on the world island want to take the initiative in the world, they must weaken and dismember those offshore messing sticks.
Now Gao Huan has dismembered Japan, and America has not yet seen it, and his next target is Britain.
Du Yinxi continued: "Geo-wise, if I work hard in the Eurasian continent, then first of all, I must manage the Eurasian continent well. Secondly, Tsarist Russia directly sent troops to attack Anxi and kill our people, but the court focused on Yinzhou. I thought it would disappoint the people and would not be conducive to the court's policy of absorbing new nations and shaping the Chinese nation in the future. Finally, although we do not have an advantage in Yinzhou, the most difficult period has passed. I think it is enough to drag the Allies Group. If they send troops to Yinzhou, they will further weaken their strength in Europa."
Gao Huan stroked his beard and Du Yinxi's words reminded himself that island countries such as Britain, the United States and Japan do not want powerful countries to appear on the mainland, and do not want peace on the mainland, and constantly create turmoil in key areas to curb the development of the mainland and maintain their hegemony.
As a country on the mainland, Dakan is unwilling to see powerful offshore island countries appearing on the scraps of the world.
Previously, Gao Huan had always wanted to develop Yinzhou and occupy Yinzhou, and subconsciously felt that a powerful country would appear there.
This powerful country may have been established by Western colonists, or it may have been a new country established by immigrants from the Chan Dynasty.
The interests of the Ganchao are in East Asia, and Yinzhou is vast and the population increases in the future, even if the immigrants of the Ganchao are immigrants, their interests will be in Yinzhou.
If the region is similar, the population base is large enough, and the interests of both sides are inconsistent, the final direction of the separation may be extremely large.
Gao Huan would never allow it. Yinzhou appeared in a powerful country, even if this country was established by immigrants from the Korean Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Gao Huan had already made a decision in his heart. There was no need to win the Yinzhou War so early, and the later it was developed, the better.
Gao Huan pondered for a long time and had a decision in his heart that going west would not only solve the threat of Tsarist Russia and guide the heart of Europe, but also oil. That is a necessary condition for Ganchao to remain ahead of the world in the next electrification revolution.
Several bigwigs from the Councillor watched Gao Huan pace in the study, waiting for Gao Huan to make a decision.
As the emperor, Gao Huan had an important position when deciding on such a general direction. After he made up his mind, everything would be completed by the administrative system.
