Chapter 1315 – Working with the Enemy

The Mayan Dynasty was the buffer zone between the Dawson Dynasty and Great Xia. The Dawson Dynasty’s actions and their eagerness to attack the Mayan Dynasty meant that they would unavoidably have conflicts with Great Xia.

Ouyang Shuo could use the Mayan Dynasty as a medium to restrict the Dawson Dynasty.

In Africa, the Bantu Dynasty launched an attack on Central Africa. While trying to draw the Dawson Dynasty’s attention, they also intended to expand in Africa.

Currently, Great Xia’s position as the big boss of Africa was unshakeable. After them was the Bantu Dynasty, then the European, and finally the American dynasties.

The Bantu Dynasty’s actions affected Great Xia’s Africa strategy.

The global landscape was extremely complicated, and interests were the motivators. An allied relationship did not exist between Great Xia and Azure Badge; they were just making use of one another.

If they found the opportunity, they would even stab each other in the back.

The global situation was always changing.

Despite such circumstances, Great Xia’s first Empire Olympics was proceeding at a fast rate. The sports hall was already completed and was in use.

The thousands of athletes from the 19 provinces and five Governor-General Houses had all arrived in the imperial capital to familiarize themselves with the venue and make their final preparations.

Compared to modern sports meets, this one was a little small and had fewer events. Although that was the case, it would only get bigger and bigger provided it got off to a good start.

In the future, holding a global sports event was not impossible.

This was also another method to expand Great Xia’s influence.

...

10th month, 10th day, Imperial Capital.

Di Chen, who had just returned from North America, was summoned by Ouyang Shuo once more.

His North America journey had pleased Ouyang Shuo. He was summoned because Ouyang Shuo had a new mission for him.

Ouyang Shuo said, “The Imperial Court is preparing to form a special trading team to be in charge of Pacific Ocean trade. The main participants are the Indian Empire, the Dawson Dynasty, and the Darkness empire.

In the past half a year, due to the rise of the Darkness empire, the Pacific Ocean trade had been really chaotic.

The Darkness empire often came out to disturb merchant ships between Great Xia and South America. There were even several incidents of them sinking ship, negatively impacting the safety of the trade route.

Ouyang Shuo was not someone afraid of getting involved.

He ordered the Pacific Squadron to disturb the Darkness empire and Dawson Dynasty ships. Although they did not sink them, they arrested several batches.

They were fighting fire with fire.

Along with iron warship after iron warship being equipped to the Pacific Squadron, the strength of the Pacific Squadron was now comparable to the Darkness Squadron.

They would not lose out in a frontal confrontation.

Not long ago, the two sides had fought near the Hawaii islands. At the time, the Pacific Squadron had given them a huge smacking, proving this point.

Although their warships were good, the Darkness Squadron was far off from the Pacific Squadron in terms of naval battle skills. After all, the Pacific Squadron had been active for numerous years.

After that battle, the Darkness empire’s actions became a lot more restrained. Not only did they stop disturbing the merchant ships, but they even halted their disturbances of the Nanjiang shoreline.

Keisuke Honda’s Darkness empire consisted of a bunch of weak bones that only knew how to bully the weak. Once they faced a strong opponent, they would run away with their tails between their legs.

Even with that being the case, Ouyang Shuo would not underestimate them.

Although Great Xia had benefited a lot during this round of world war, the Darkness empire had as well.

For every dynasty that was destroyed, a number of players would chose to go to the legendary trial lands to live under the owner of the Mu Continent – the Darkness empire.

This helped to increase the population of the Darkness empire.

Furthermore, if this situation continued to persist, they would be able to use their natural geographical advantage to become the place where most of the defeated country civilians gathered.

Regardless of which dynasty was destroyed, the Darkness empire would easily benefit.

The Darkness empire monopolized a continent, and it was far from Asia and Europe while not being connected to America. It had decent plains and rich resources, similar to the America in history.

Such an opponent had to be taken seriously.

Ouyang Shuo’s strategy would be to continue his strong-handed approach toward them. Only then could he suppress and isolate them.

Before this, Ouyang Shuo had to manage the Pacific Ocean trade route well.

After the America Governor-General House was built, the relationship between Great Xia mainland and the America Continent became closer and closer. A safe and reliable naval route was desperately required.

Although the Darkness empire had already sheathed its blade, this did not mean that they would not act up once more.

Ouyang Shuo stood at new strategic heights and proposed to invite the Dawson Dynasty, the Darkness empire and the Indian Empire to hold a four-sided discussion.

There would only be one core term – the four dynasties could be enemies, but they would share the duty of protecting the safety of the trade route.

None of them were allowed to send their squadrons to disturb merchant ships.

“Politics is politics; economics is economics.”

Ouyang Shuo was ready to make the distinction to solve the problem with the Pacific Ocean trade route. He did not believe that Jack and the others were fools that wanted both sides to suffer losses.

A safe Pacific Ocean trade route was good for all the parties involved.

“You’ll lead the diplomatic discussion. Are there any problems?” Ouyang Shuo asked Di Chen.

Di Chen naturally understood the importance of this trading discussion team. Moreover, they had to break the ice with the Darkness empire and the Dawson Dynasty, which meant that this was going to be a challenging job.

Thinking about this, Di Chen even felt a little emotional.

His blood that had long since turned cold boiled once more. It had been a long time since he was filled with so many emotions, and he solemnly nodded and said, “Do not worry, your majesty; I’ll complete this matter beautifully.”

Ouyang Shuo smiled happily and promised, “If you complete this, I’ll give you the title of 3rd class marquis.”

Currently, Di Chen was only a 1st class earl. If he could become a 3rd class marquis, it would be a huge leap and would mean a lot to Di Chen and his family.

This was a huge reward.

More importantly, once he was promoted, it would send a signal to everyone that he had earned the trust of his majesty.

This point was more meaningful than the title.

As the publicly recognized enemy of his majesty, his position in the country was not good. Not to mention influencing the Imperial Court, but he was even ostracized in the Honglu Temple.

That was a result of the officials all feeling that Di Chen was not trusted by his majesty. Just this alone was enough to make things difficult for Di Chen.

During this period of time, Di Chen had spent a lot of time outside and had done a few things for the Empire, but he could not help but feel that he was coldly treated.

Ouyang Shuo’s promise totally broke his psychological barrier.
