After Ning Yuan was resurrected in the secret room of Condor City, he immediately came to the Forbidden City to learn about the development of the Condor Empire during this time.

Resettlement plans for the Far East south of the Trans-Khingan Mountains and on the Korean Peninsula are now on track, and the resettlement of these occupied areas is largely complete.

What these occupied territories need now is to recuperate, and it is believed that when the immigrants of the Condor Empire have completely taken root there, it will not be long before those places will prosper again.

In terms of economic and agricultural development, with Bai Shihai as his right-hand man, Ning Yuan didn't need to worry too much, and what really worried him now was the next strategic layout of the Condor Empire.

Although the competition in the Central Plains of China is becoming more and more fierce, due to the exclusion of Ning Yuan by other forces, he can only watch from the sidelines and cannot directly intervene.

And his cheap old man in the Silver Star Empire is now working hard to create the next generation, and it seems that he will live a very nourishing life in a few years, so the road to the west of the Condor Empire is still not passable.

Nowadays, Ning Yuan's reputation in the Inner Mongolia prairie is getting higher and higher, as long as he raises his arms, there will be millions of grassland men gathered under his command.

It stands to reason that this is a good opportunity to unify the Inner Mongolian steppe, as long as the Condor Empire sends troops, all the aboriginal tribes on the grassland will fall to the wind.

But Ning Yuan was unwilling to unify the aboriginal tribes on the grassland right now.

The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

Although the scenery described in the song is very beautiful, the grassland of Inner Mongolia is a piece of chicken ribs for the country in the cold weapon period, and it is tasteless to eat and discarded.

The natural environment on the ancient steppe is actually very harsh, where the precipitation is little and uneven, the wind is strong, and the cold and heat changes drastically.

In spring, the temperature rises sharply, windy weather, summer is short and hot, precipitation is concentrated, autumn temperature drops sharply, frost often comes early, and winter is long and cold, and there are many cold waves.

Compared with the Central Plains, in addition to the Hetao Plain, the northern grassland area of Inner Mongolia is actually not suitable for large-scale human settlement.

Now that the fertile Hetao Plain has long been occupied by the players, the rest is either a desert or a grassland suitable for grazing.

The nomads of the steppes live in pursuit of water and grass, they do not stay in the same area for a long time, and they have to change pastures every once in a while.

Every tribe needs a large area of pasture to feed the cattle, sheep and horses raised in the tribe, and the vast and sparsely populated land is the truest portrayal there.

In ancient China, nomads living on the grasslands would invade the Central Plains every once in a while.

Even if they hit their heads and bleed every time, they still won't give up, and the main reason is because the living environment on the grassland is too bad.

Ning Yuan now has the strength to enter the Inner Mongolia prairie, but what about after the occupation?

The Inner Mongolia prairie traverses the east and west of China and has a long border, and he can fight it, but it is difficult to hold it.

Because the grassland is really not suitable for building a city, and the border is so long, if he wants to hold it completely, how many troops must be deployed there.

And what benefits can the occupation of the Inner Mongolian steppe bring to the Condor Empire now?

Except for a large number of cattle and sheep and grassland cavalry, Ning Yuan could hardly think of anything else.

There are not many benefits, but there are many disadvantages.

Once Ning Yuan now enters the Inner Mongolia Grassland, the Mongolian players in the north will definitely be worried that Ning Yuan will suddenly attack them from behind.

At that time, they will not be able to concentrate on confronting Russian players, and Ning Yuan will indirectly help Russian players to break the siege.

However, due to some historical reasons, Ning Yuan was absolutely unwilling to be this good person.

In addition to the Mongol players, those players in the Hetao region and Shaanxi, Gansu and other regions will also have strong hostility towards Ning Yuan, because when Ning Yuan occupies the Inner Mongolian steppe, his cavalry regiment can hit their hinterland at any time.

At that time, in order to protect themselves, they are likely to join forces to attack Ning Yuan together.

And once the two sides engage in a large-scale battle, the Condor Empire will have a large number of troops dragged there by them.

From the northeast to Gansu, this front is too long, and the logistical supply pressure of the Condor Empire will be very huge, and it will easily fall into the quagmire of war.

So swallowing the Inner Mongolian steppes will do more harm than good to the current Condor Empire.

But the steppes are rich in cavalry, and it is not possible to give them up completely, so Ning Yuan can only continue to expand his influence on the steppes through some means, and then continue to maintain this delicate balance relationship with those forces next to the steppes.

As long as they don't attack the prairie, Ning Yuan will not enter the prairie.

The prairie is not suitable for the time being, and neither is the area west of the Outer Khing'an Mountains.

According to Ning Yuan's understanding, the power in the area east of Lake Baikal is an indigenous kingdom - the North Sea Kingdom.

When the Mongol player invaded Russia, they directly avoided the North Sea Kingdom, so the North Sea Kingdom did not participate in the war between the Mongols and the Russian player.

The Russian player had been trying to convince the king of the North Sea Kingdom to send troops to the war, but after accepting a heavy gift from the Mongol player, the king of the North Sea refused the Russian player's request.

Now, if Ning Yuan sends troops to attack the Beihai Kingdom, they are likely to completely fall to the Russian players.

If the Mongol players were able to establish diplomatic relations with the North Sea Kingdom, why couldn't the Condor Empire?

Therefore, Ning Yuan planned to send an envoy to the Beihai State, establish diplomatic relations with it first, and then find a way to accept it as a vassal state.

Once the Beihai Kingdom becomes a vassal state of the Condor Empire, then Ning Yuan has a way to slowly annex it.

The land is not accessible, and the next thing is the ocean.

For the Japanese island, to be honest, Ning Yuan is not ready to fully carry out with Japanese players.

Japan has tens of millions of players, and if they are really pushed to the eye, they may be able to pull up tens of millions of troops.

Tens of millions of people just stood there motionless and let the Condor Army kill, which was enough for the Condor Army to kill for a while.

Therefore, before he had the strength to crush the other party, Ning Yuan didn't want to start a full-scale war with them, he just wanted to temporarily trap them on the Japanese island now.

If none of the above regions work, then the only thing left is Southeast Asia.

Southeast Asia is not only rich in products, but also has many important sea lanes, which are the only way to Europe and Oceania from the sea.

Many countries in Southeast Asia are island nations, and even if they can form offensive and defensive alliances, it will be difficult for them to provide timely support in the event of an invasion by foreign enemies.

Coupled with the fact that some indigenous forces are entrenched on many important islands, they are no different from a piece of scattered sand.

The armies on the islands of Southeast Asia are not very combat-ready, and the only thing they can rely on is a strong navy.

As long as their navy is defeated, then they are no different from lambs to the slaughter.

The reason why Ning Yuan didn't have the idea of fighting them in the past was mainly because the distance was too far, and he didn't want to go on an expedition.

Now with the island of Taiwan as a springboard, the other party's good days are over.

The only thing that made Ning Yuan hesitate a little now was that he didn't know whether it was better to invade the past in the name of the Condor Empire or in the name of the Ice and Fire Legion.
