Chapter 1692 An Island in Denmark
Gris Allen didn't say anything about Alaska, because he didn't know it until he got to know it.

Russia now extremely lacks control over the Alaska region. Their more control is not in Alaska, but in some islands of the Aleutian Islands, and there are even few people at all.

This is not worth mentioning for the White Iron Kingdom. Fortunately, Gris Allen took it a step further and directly mentioned the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Chukotka Peninsula, which are the most eastern regions of Russia's territory. And it is an area that can actually be controlled, although that kind of control is very weak, they have only established some towns there.

As for Chukchi and Kamchatka, most of them are Siberian hunters, and there are very few people there.

Coupled with the fact that it spans the entire continent, Russia's rule there is very weak.

Even in later generations, the population of Chukchi did not exceed 10, not to mention that the White Iron Kingdom did not want to get all of the Chukchi region, but what he wanted was from Chukchi and Kamchatka. One corner of those two peninsulas is used for navigation and control of the Bering Strait, not for any other ideas.

And precisely these two places are not impossible to get from Russia.

There is also Wrangel Island, north of Chukotka, within the Arctic Circle, where it is almost ice and snow all year round.

The northern edge of Chukchi is also part of the Arctic Ocean, and the eastern edge is the Bering Strait in the Pacific Ocean, across the sea from Alaska.

The southern region borders Kamchatka, and Kamchatka is a place where birds don't shit.

It borders the Sea of ​​Okhotsk in the west and the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea in the east, with a length of more than 1200 kilometers and an area of ​​37 square kilometers.

It's a pity that there are too many undeveloped areas in this ghost place. There are more than 100 volcanoes alone, and most of the vegetation is tundra plants.

Fishing, hunting and logging are almost the only remaining significant economic activities there.

But it is almost difficult to be developed now.

The Kamchatka Peninsula is sparsely populated, mainly hunting and fishing, and then timber. It is a pity that at this time, it is a delusion to transport timber from Kamchatka to St. Petersburg, Russia, or other places, and it is carried out in the Far East. Ocean trade, it's not that Gris Allen underestimated them, they don't have the ability.

From the perspective of Russia, these two pieces of land are purely territories on the map. In fact, they did not bring much income to the Russian royal family, but they were a bit of a drag.

But Gris Allen also knew that Queen Elizabeth would not give up these two territories easily.

Although the land of Kamchatka is distasteful in Russia, it is more like a place of exile that is worse than Siberia.

In Russia, there is even a joke that those mischievous students who are punished to stand in the back of the classroom are often jokingly called Kamchatka people.

But Russia has never exiled any criminals to Kamchatka.

Because none of the guards there were willing to suffer with the prisoners there.

Kamchatka is cold, desolate, and full of danger. Even in later generations, Kamchatka has not been fully developed.

But Gris Allen knew that this place had an extremely important military strategic position.

Surrounded by sea water on three sides, overlooking the entire East Asia, it can be said that this place has a very high strategic position.

In the current era, of course, the strategic position of this location has not yet been revealed, but in the future, this place will gradually become more important, and even many strategic missiles are deployed.

And the Baitie Kingdom can directly threaten the Wa country if it gets this place. Recently, the shogunate is very dissatisfied with the Baitie Kingdom's robbing people from them.

Count Shuvalov also pondered for a while before asking: "Then what price is the White Iron Kingdom willing to pay for the territory here?"

Gris Allen glanced at Shuvalov in front of him, and raised the corners of his mouth. There is nothing in the world that cannot be sold, just to see if the price is enough.

"We can give you a piece of land in Denmark as a bonus!"

"Denmark!"

Shuvalov suddenly stood up from his seat, "Are you talking about Denmark?" His expression became extraordinarily solemn.

For St. Petersburg, which is on the coast of the Baltic Sea, the Baltic Sea almost stuck Russia's neck.

If the White Iron Kingdom can get a piece of land in Denmark in exchange for these two shitty places, it will actually be very cost-effective for Russia.

Regardless of the fact that the land in Denmark is no bigger than these two pieces of land.

But in terms of its importance, a small piece of Denmark's territory is much more important than these two places.

In the East, however, these two territories do not play a big role, at least not now.

If Zeng Yunfeng could know Gris Allen's thoughts at this time, he would definitely give him a thumbs up.

In the south of the Kamchatka Peninsula, there is an island chain in the northeast and southwest direction, the Thousand Islands. Through this island chain, the tentacles of the Baitie Kingdom can even directly touch the Hokkaido area of ​​the Wa Kingdom.

It even conducts direct trade with North Korea in the northeast of the Central Plains.

It can be said that this place is not particularly important in the eyes of others, but for Zeng Yunfeng, the importance of this place is much higher than that of Denmark.

If the land in Denmark is completely occupied by the White Iron Kingdom, it will inevitably encounter fierce resistance.

However, if it is acquired by Russia, the strategic significance here will be far greater than the significance of the White Iron Kingdom.

"Tell me, what places in Denmark have you got?"

Gris Allen smiled, he knew that Russia had long coveted Danish territory, especially the Danish islands.

After all, who can not be tempted by this region, especially those countries on the coast of the Baltic Sea, who are particularly interested in this land.

The location of Denmark has almost stuck the necks of all countries, especially the countries whose estuaries are all in the Baltic Sea.

Today's Prussia and their estuary are also stuck here.

Denmark can be said to be a heart disease of the countries around the Baltic Sea.

Gris Allen shook his wine glass, "It's not anywhere else, Rice Island!"

"Rys Island!"

Les Island is an island in the Kattegat Strait of Denmark. It has a small population and even a small area.

Shuvalov shook his head suddenly again, "That place is not a good place, even building a port is a bit difficult, what do we want this place for?"

Gris Allen smiled, "It may not depend on you, I suggest you tell the Queen about this, Your Majesty will listen to it, maybe Your Majesty will be interested in this place."

Shuvalov shrugged noncommittally.

Rice Island is indeed not a good place to build a port, especially since it does not have the kind of mountains and narrow waterways, it is not suitable for building a military port for defense.

But Rice Island is a very good supply place for going forward.

Although Shuvalov was not interested on the surface, he was already itching in his heart.

"Have you actually controlled it? Why haven't you heard of it?"

Gris Allen shook his head, Shuvalov sighed, Gris Allen nodded again, and he suddenly became interested.

"How did you get this place?"

"Money can do many things that cannot be done in this world, but this one thing can be done."

"Oh, how much did you pay for it?"

Gris Allen laughed again, and he took the bait, "You don't need to worry about this, please convey my opinion to your majesty. If we can negotiate, it will be the best thing for us and Russia. Good choice."
