Are there better choices outside the Land Heart Sea?
Should we go to the South Sunset Ocean?
There's a possibility, but it's extremely slight.
Even after abandoning the Nara Fortress, the Empire's Navy did strengthen its military presence in the South Sunset Ocean, especially after restoring diplomatic relations with the Newland Republic. They even once proclaimed the slogan "Return to South Xuan Region," transforming Table Bay into the largest, most well-equipped, and highest capacity naval base in the South Sunset Ocean. However, fundamentally, the Empire's expansion in the South Sunset Ocean always lacked two critical things: a clear strategic purpose and an economic foundation to support the entire military strategy system.
To put it bluntly, the Empire has no significant vested interests in the South Sunset Ocean area.
In fact, it doesn't have any major interests in the entire Sunset Ocean.
