Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the forty-eighth year of the Holy Path, 1766 AD, the World War entered its seventh year. Not only did the smoke not dissipate, but it became even more intense.

    The process of the European battlefield is not as dramatic as in another dimension. King George II of Britain is alive and well and will never let go of the Hanoverian territory. The bellicose Prime Minister Pitt is firmly in power. The monarch and his ministers continue to push Britain deeper into the European continent.  battlefield.  Tsar Elizabeth of Russia is also alive and well, just like Maria Theresa, fighting to the death with Frederick II. Her stupid nephew who worshiped Frederick to the extreme failed to ascend the throne and helped Frederick go crazy.  of peace.  ¡¾1¡¿

    Frederick II continued to stand in the eye of the blood and fire in Europe. If he could understand one of the key reasons why this war was so long and arduous, it was the "Medecins Sans Fronti¨¨res" led by Siris, which greatly changed European medical care.  The concept is that these key figures benefited from the advanced medical technology spread by Siris, abolished bloodletting and other religious ritual medical methods, and thus escaped the murder of priest doctors. He will no longer enthusiastically embrace the new European dispatched by Siris.  The first commander was Li Kechong, the third prince of Seris, and he was awarded the prestigious honorary title of Duke of Berlin.

    However, the European War was no longer something Frederick II could control alone, and the battlefield was not limited to Prussia.  Poland was deeply involved in this war. If we want to trace the origin, I am afraid it is also related to Seris's large-scale recruitment of Polish mercenaries.

    A large number of Polish grassroots nobles joined the Seris European Legion to serve, which affected Poland's domestic political stance and aroused deep fear in Russia, forcing the Polish nobles to join the Entente camp and fight against Prussia, Seris and Britain.  Under the pull of the two parties, the upper-class Polish nobles each made painful choices, and the entire Poland was divided.

    The Polish nobles who defected to the Covenant camp led the war in the direction of "reestablishing the Polish monarchy". This direction not only frightened Russia, but also Denmark and Sweden were absolutely unwilling to see the European war evolve into the War of the Rise of Prussia and the Second Great War.  Collection of Northern Wars.

    The focus of World War I was Europe.  There were not only continental wars, but also naval wars centered around sea control.  On one side were Britain and Seris, on the other were France and Spain.  Relying on military cooperation with Siris, Britain's artillery technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and the maritime power of France and Spain suffered a heavy blow, which also had a direct impact on the war situation in America.

    The actions of the Siris Navy in the Mediterranean are only indirectly related to the European battlefield. In addition to suppressing the actions of the French and Spanish navies in the Mediterranean, the Siris Navy is working more to clear the Mediterranean shipping lanes.  These efforts included a series of pirate eradication operations.  The landing campaign against Alexandria, nay, the Port of Saints, and the naval blockade of Egypt.

    The most exciting performance of the Seris Navy in the Mediterranean was the Aegean Sea Battle with the Ottoman Turkish Navy.  This naval battle that took place in 1764 brought the sailing naval battle technology system to an early end before it reached its peak.  The power of steam power, rifled breech-loading guns and iron armor extended the distance of sea battles to thousands of meters.  The huge Ottoman Turkish sailing fleet, under the iron-clad steam battleship Seris, became a victim of the times just like the Indian fleet faced with European sailing battleships two or three hundred years ago.

    Nearly a hundred warships of the Ottoman Turkish Navy (although most of them were armed sailing ships of no more than 200 tons) sank into the sea, and 30,000 people were killed or injured. Under such a remarkable record, the Seris Navy had three cruisers.  The loss of a battleship did not seem serious, and the injury of the fleet commander, the second prince Li Keming, was a common occurrence in European naval battles.  However, since this naval battle, the Seris European Fleet and the rebuilt Ottoman Turkish Navy have reached a certain tacit understanding, using Cyprus as the line, and there has been no further contact.  This also shows that Siris does not have unrealistically high expectations for the power of iron-clad steam battleships.

    Meng Songhai, who succeeded Li Keming, targeted the fleet in the waters of Egypt and North Africa, and the Ottomans were unable to lend a helping hand. From this, Sires gradually laid the foundation for seizing the rule of Egypt. Specific actions will have to wait until the North African War a few years later.

    On the other side of the earth, in America, the intensity of the war is several times that of another dimension.  Britain's struggle with France and Spain in the Caribbean, Central America, and Guyana was reflected in hundreds of single-ship duels at sea and battles in which fleets captured ports.  The era of Pirates of the Caribbean soon ended, and all pirates turned into privateers and were incorporated into the war system.

    Havana, Port-au-Prince, Santo Domingo, San Juan.  The Caribbean strongholds that originally belonged to France and Spain fell into the hands of Britain one by one. Coupled with the expansion of the Guyana colony in South America, the original colonial Three Kingdoms pattern in the Caribbean and Central America has become Britain's dominant one.  This was also due to the presence of the Seris European Fleet in the Mediterranean, which not only contained at least one-third of the main naval forces of France and Spain, but was not listed before the war.Four, the sunshine has washed away the erosion of time, and the beauty is standing beside her, smiling, and her eyes as deep as autumn water are full of admiration and deep love.

    Li Si felt something in his heart, and looked back. Xiao Fumei and An Jiu looked like fairies in a painting, standing gracefully. Behind them, Baoyin and Ma Qianyue were leaning on each other arm in arm, smiling softly. There were still half-covered skirts in the corner.  , Luo Shenniang¡¯s profile is clearly visible.

    In the Weiyang Palace in Tokyo, Li Kezai was sitting on the throne. The back seat beside him was empty, except for a book.

    Nanjing, in an old temple outside the Yingci Monastery in Xiguan, Guangzhou County, statues of saints are lined up on the left and right. In a place that has always been empty, a stone statue is being carved.  The word "Last Saint" is written on the wall behind the stone statue.

    ¡¾End of book¡¿

    ps: [1: In the history of this plane, George II died of illness in 1761. George III, who succeeded him, was not interested in Hanover, so Britain withdrew from the European battlefield.  In 1762, Czarina Elizabeth died of illness, and her nephew Peter III came to the throne. Because of his fanatical worship of Frederick II, he not only made peace with Prussia, but also gave up the entire East Prussia and all the land occupied during the war. As a result, the Russian nobles rebelled collectively.  He was deposed by his wife Ekaterina six months later.  ¡¿
