The kingdom of Liej, in the western part of the southwest continent, is separated from the kingdom of Venabe, the younger brother of the kingdom of Orr, by the Wiener Strait.

The country is actually not an area, barely a million square kilometers, but the central and western regions of the southwest continent are barren, especially the inland areas of this area are desert, mountainous, and because of its proximity to Antarctica, the temperature is cold.

Only the coastal area near the Endless Sea has a pleasant temperature, and some coastal plains can be used for agriculture, so although the land area of the Liej Kingdom is not small, the habitable area is very small, only the coastal area of the Endless Strait.

However, although the vast inland area is barren, it can barely be used for grazing.

As a result of the natural environment, although the kingdom of Liej seems to be a large country, it is an economically backward country with a small population, and most of the population is concentrated in the coastal plain near the endless sea.

However, although the national strength is not very good, but it also belongs to the endless sea trade circle, its coastal zone since ancient times also belongs to the endless sea trade route, its geographical location is still more important, so the country is also considered to be a lot of disasters, in the early years, the kingdom of Lieji occupied half of the southwest continent of the western coastal area, but because of the serious backwardness in the era of industrialization, it became the object of the division of the major powers.

More than 20 years ago, a large part of its eastern territory became independent as the Republic of Kean under the auspices of the Gafia Empire, and became a de facto puppet state of the Gafia Empire.

In order to resist the infiltration and invasion of the Eastern Gafia Empire, the Kingdom of Liej has also set off a revolution in its country in the past ten years, trying to develop industry and innovate the military.

Under this kind of big back, it is not surprising that the kingdom of Liej has a connection with the unified Daheng people.

In these years, all small and medium-sized countries that want to innovate their military, especially the army, will basically find Daheng people to learn army tactics and purchase army equipment.

The Kingdom of Liej is no exception!

The country's reformed army units are equipped with all Daheng-made ordnance.

Due to the good history of armament cooperation between the two countries, during the Orr War, the country began to order warships from the Daheng Empire, first ordering two Bourgil armored cruisers and a large number of torpedo boats.

The A series of torpedo boats of the Great Heng Empire are well bought all over the world, and the Liej Kingdom is also a loyal user of the A series of torpedo boats.

After the wave of rapid-fire guns and hardened armor around the world in the 11th year of the Qiansheng Dynasty, the Lieji Kingdom imported a batch of rapid-fire guns from the Daheng Empire for upgrading, and at the same time ordered two Klan-class armored cruisers in an attempt to build a modern navy.

The good cooperative relationship between the Liej Kingdom and the Great Heng Empire also made the relationship between the two countries warm up rapidly.

In the past two years, with the support of the Gafian Empire, the Kingdom of Ken has been provoking border conflicts, trying to annex the entire Liedi Kingdom in the name of unification.

In this case, the kingdom of Liej naturally sought international support while carrying out a war of armament.

And on the contemporary Blue Star, that great power has nothing to do with the Gafia Empire?

First of all, the Kingdom of Krull and the Great Heng Empire!

The relationship between the Krull Kingdom and the Gafia Empire is naturally extremely poor, and the Daheng Empire has had a very serious conflict with the Gafiya Empire in recent years because of international trade conflicts.

In order to resist the annexation ambitions of the Gafia Empire, and unable to protect themselves alone, the high-level leaders of the Lieji Kingdom also made up their minds and prepared to defeat the razor with raze.

They first found the world boss of the Krull Kingdom and offered to strengthen relations with the two countries.

The Krull Kingdom naturally has no opinion on this, and the Lieji Kingdom is originally their main traditional market, so naturally it will not allow the Gafia Empire to be completely annexed.

In fact, more than 20 years ago, the independence of the Republic of Krull was strongly opposed by the Krull Kingdom, and once instigated the Ibean Empire and the Gafia Empire to fight, but unfortunately it was not won, and the rulers of the Lijy Kingdom at that time were too weak to even have the courage to resist, and announced their surrender before the arrival of the expeditionary force of the Krull Kingdom......

Half-dead the popularity of Krull at that time.

Now that the situation in the Liedi Kingdom has changed again, the Krull people will naturally stand up, and this time the Krull people are not polite, and directly threaten the Lieji Kingdom: "If you dare to surrender this time, Lao Tzu will go crazy......"

However, when the kingdom of Liej asked them when they could send reinforcements in the event of a war, the Krulls were stumbling.

They just fought an Orr war a few years ago, and they spent so much military money that they are still heartbroken, and besides, the current war is too cruel, and it is one thing to support others to fight, and it is another thing to go into battle yourself.

They are divided, and the Lieji Kingdom has also seen through it, these bastards want to let the Lieji Kingdom itself in front, and they only wave their flags and shout in the back.

Seeing that the Krull people could not be counted on, the Liej Kingdom found the Great Heng Empire again.

The Great Heng Empire is very interested in interfering in the situation of the Lieji Kingdom, and the Empire wants to take advantage of this opportunity to insert a nail into the Southwest Continent, expand the Empire's influence in the central and western regions of the Southwest Continent, and also take advantage of the situation to contain the Gafia Empire.

In recent years, the relationship between the Great Heng Empire and the Gafia Empire has become worse and worse, and the international trade competition has become greater and greater.

For this reason, the Great Heng Empire proposed that if the Liej Kingdom could provide a military base, the empire could station troops in this military base.

Of course, there are also a series of so-called trade agreements, which are also a big benefit.

The high-level leaders of the Liej Kingdom hesitated, and finally agreed, under the crisis of losing a large territory or even destroying the country, leasing a military port and opening the market to the people of Daheng was nothing.

In the end, the two sides discussed and settled the matter.

This made the Gafia Empire, which regarded the Liej Kingdom as a meal on the plate, very dissatisfied, not to mention that the military base leased by the Liej Kingdom to the Daheng Empire was located in the city of Bova in the Liej Kingdom.

The city of Beauvois was a port city in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Liej, and was only a little over 100 kilometers away from the Republic of Kean, a vassal state of the Gafian Empire.

This place has long been regarded as an important stronghold of the westward expansion of the Gafian Empire, and once this war breaks out, the army will seize the city after the westward advance.

Now that the Great Heng people suddenly came over to establish a military base here, and they also planned to garrison tens of thousands of people and a large fleet here, this kind of thing was naturally intolerable to the Gafia Empire.

However, the character of the Great Heng people and some concepts formed by the traditional culture of thousands of years naturally made the high-level of the Great Heng Empire ignore the opposition of the Gafia people!

Lao Tzu is a military base lease agreement reached with the Liej Kingdom, you are a third party to compare what, be careful that Lao Tzu beats you!

In addition, the Krull Kingdom also said with a smile in the back, this is a matter between the Lieji Kingdom and the Great Heng people, we Krull people have always respected the internal affairs of other countries, and at the same time expressed goodwill to the Great Heng people: Welcome the Great Heng people to come to the southwest continent to maintain local peace and freedom!

Although the relationship between the Krull Kingdom and the Daheng Empire has been relatively poor in the past two years, it has not yet torn its face, and the commercial cooperation between the two sides is huge, they are the largest trading countries with each other, and most importantly, they have the same enemy in the matter of the Lij-Kingdom: the Gafia Empire!

The Gafia Empire saw that its two great enemies were already standing together and trying to use the Lidj Kingdom to make trouble.

This is clearly to shake his position as the overlord of the Southwest Continent, once this is tolerated, how can he mix in the Southwest Continent in the future, and other small and medium-sized countries will have to do the same!

Therefore, they are also issuing stronger and stronger diplomatic rhetoric!

However, the Great Heng Empire still reached an agreement with the Lieji Kingdom, and as soon as the agreement was reached, many small ships of the Great Heng Empire that were originally in the waters near the Lieji Kingdom were stationed nearby, and there were hundreds of marines along with them.

At the same time, it is also preparing to transfer personnel and warships in the country to form a formal Southwest Mixed Brigade and Southwest Fleet, which is scheduled to garrison 3,000 army troops and a naval fleet here, and at the same time prepare to build a fortress at the military base in Beauva City, so as to build this place into an important strategic node of the Daheng Empire in the southwest continent and the southern coast of the Endless Sea.

The Kruer people on the side also fanned the flames, and even saw that the ships of the Daheng people were not enough for a while, and they also took the initiative to provide a number of cargo ships to help transport all kinds of materials.

In February of the twelfth year of the reign of Qiansheng, a total of 7,600 men of the Southwest Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army took ships from the military base of the Kingdom of Orr and were escorted by the Southwest Fleet of the Imperial Navy to the Bowa military base.

The Southwest Fleet of the Imperial Navy, in accordance with the order of the Supreme Command of the Empire, transferred a part of the fleet from the Orr Fleet, and then transferred a number of warships from the mainland, with four Klan-class armored cruisers, two Xialin-class cruisers, two Yuchi-class cruisers, and eight Yuanlin-class destroyers as the main combat force, and more than 20 torpedo boats, coastal defense patrol ships, minelaying ships, mine-laying ships, and mine-clearing ships to assist in the operation.

It was also the largest fleet sent by the Imperial Navy.

However, it seems that the scale is not small, but for the maritime situation of contemporary Blue Star, the scale of the Southwest Fleet, with four armored cruisers as the core main force, is still not large, after all, the coastal countries of Blue Star generally attach importance to the development of the navy, and the scale of the navy is generally not small.

The five continents of Blue Star are not far away, and the Endless Sea trade circle has long been formed around the Endless Sea, and all countries generally attach more importance to the navy.

In this case, the Daheng Empire's navy only used four armored cruisers as the main force to go to the Bowa military base of the Lieji Kingdom in the southwest continent.

However, the Daheng Imperial Navy did not support it, in fact, the Daheng Imperial Navy attached great importance to this operation, and it was also carefully selected when selecting warships.

Every warship in the Southwest Fleet, including torpedo boats, is a new generation of warships that have only been built and put into service in recent years, all equipped with rapid-fire guns and hardened armor, and their combat effectiveness is definitely the top in contemporary times!

A small number does not mean that the combat effectiveness is poor!

Just four first-batch Crane-class armored cruisers in the Southwestern Fleet are enough to make the navies of modern countries fearful.
