In the forty-fourth year of the Holy Path, 1762 AD, the World War has entered its fourth year, but the curtain of this battlefield has really begun.
In this year, Britain, Prussia, the Netherlands, Portugal, and the Seris camp (the seventeen countries of Seris plus Asia) formed one with the "Covenant of Lisbon". France, the Holy Roman Empire, Spain, Russia, Ottoman Turkey and other countries The Turin Agreement became one. Although the sincerity and level of participation within the two camps vary greatly, the earth is finally truly divided into two groups, and the war further expands.
This is a battle for freedom. Advanced industrial and commercial capital is eager to break the religious and aristocratic shackles of the old world. Emerging countries need to create their own national souls. Ancient nations that have stood up again from the ruins need to stretch their ambitions.
"Pope, kings and archdukes can no longer dominate the world with their crowns", "Prussia's soul was cast in smoke and blood and fire", "British kings are universal, and destiny is determined in one battle", Britain, Prussia This is how the intellectuals in China and Britain commented on the war.
However, the nearly tens of millions of lives devoured by this war, as well as the countries and nations that fell as victims, have completely different evaluations. To them, this was a sinful war, regardless of whether they fell into hell shortly after the war. France, as well as Russia, Ottoman Turkey and other countries that fell into a century-old nightmare after the war, the source of the disaster came from this war. For countries like Poland and Persia, World War I was an abyss of destruction.
Different from the history of another dimension, due to the intervention of Yinghua, the war in Europe was no longer limited to the borders of Prussia, Silesia and Poland, and the theme was no longer simply the rise of Prussia. The First Republic of Poland was divided due to this war. The two camps were each attached to the "Covenant Powers" and the "Entertainment Powers". The degree of bloody fighting between the two camps was far more bloody than the military operations between the camps. Poland also became a victim of the final war between the two camps, and perished thirty years earlier than the other plane.
Also because of the intervention of Britain and China, the battle between Britain and France for the American colonies became more intense after losing India. The war started from the east coast and reached both sides of the Mississippi River. The French made full use of the Indians. It also forced Britain to face up to the "America" ??supported by Britain and China.
Because of the loss of India, the war between Britain, France and Spain in the Caribbean was far more intense than in another dimension. Together with the colonies acquired from the Dutch, Britain not only drove the French out of North America, but also greatly expanded its colonial scope in the Caribbean, South America, and Africa.
Not only the colonial interests of France and Spain suffered heavy losses. The Netherlands has suffered heavy losses. Although it is in the Covenant camp, its national power is weak and it cannot support its vested interests in this global change.
The reason why the Netherlands participated in the alliance was to preserve its interests in Asia, especially the Java colony and the British-Chinese trade route. The Netherlands had already been mentally prepared for the South American and African colonies to be used as bargaining chips by Britain and China. Compared to Portugal, which held onto Yinghua's thigh and held on to its original colonies in Africa and America. The Netherlands can be said to be the biggest loser among the winners.
The battlefield in Central Asia was another focus of this war. Russia, Ottoman Turkey and Persia allied to fight against the British and Chinese westward advance. Just like the Netherlands, Persia also fell victim and was limited to numerous conflicts for a hundred years after the war. There are nobility struggles for the throne, religious conflicts, and interest group struggles supported by Britain, China, Russia, and Ottoman Turkey.
In this global change, old and new strong men alternate. A large number of emerging countries have also emerged. There are not only countries that have emerged in the aftermath of the war, such as the American Federation formed by the union of thirteen North American states, but there are also countries that were built out of thin air by major powers. Examples include the United Emirates of America and the Kingdom of Afghanistan. The ancient countries of the old world were also controlled by powerful people and were forced to integrate into the global situation.
Just as Britain rebuilt the Turkmen, Turkic and Kazakh kingdoms on the ruins of the Khiva Khanate, the Bukhara Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate, Britain also supported the Sultanate of Ceylon and the Sultanate of Muscat (Oman ).
As an important part of the Suez Canal plan, with the Kingdom of Mogadishu as its base, it has continued to expand northward, relying on commercial interests to integrate the forces on both sides of the Red Sea, and to support some countries. It is precisely since the forty-fourth year of the Holy Path that the Red Sea Protector New tasks received by the government.
Yue Shenglin, the Protector of the Red Sea, used to be anxious about being remote and having nothing to do, but now he has a headache because of the busy schedule. His mission is not to send troops to the city and force the locals to surrender. Even if Yinghua's national power was at its peak, the Red Sea issue was not a top priority after all, and the Red Sea Protectorate did not send any more soldiers because of this plan.
What he did was to use less than half a division of garrison and a few small and medium-sized warships to attack all directions in various ways. In particular, the two sides of the Red Sea in the north showed their strength and "abducted" Chinese merchants from the Red Sea.! "
Hu Yingjie's mood improved slightly when he thought that his hard work over the past six months was indeed a real contribution, and that the originally vague Suez Canal plan had taken a big step forward. Then it dawned on me, yes, when my father died of illness, I felt like the sky was falling, but I finally stepped out of the shadows and embarked on my own path of success.
"Why did he abdicate after three years? Everyone still thinks that when His Majesty ascends the throne for fifty years, he can hold a great celebration that has never been seen in history."
After all, there was still a little knot left, Hu Yingjie pursed his lips, and kept complaining in his stomach.
¡°Grandpa Huang, can¡¯t you work for another three years so that we can watch the fireworks?
"Everyone said that there will be a big firework that can be seen from the moon!"
"We also made an appointment to build a spaceship, put it on the moon, and set off a big firework that everyone in the world can see!"
"I thought of it first! I had already thought of the words that the fireworks would turn into!"
In Weiyang Palace, in the royal school, the emperor's grandsons were chattering. Li Si, who had half-white hair, chuckled. Looking at these group of emperor's grandsons, he felt infinite emotion in his heart.
