- The European continent was indeed turbulent and in chaos as some people imagined.
Zhao Hongyu was extremely happy after receiving this information.
Yes, there are frequent wars in various countries on the European continent, and no country can stay out of it. This is what Zhao Hongyu hopes to see most.
And when he heard that the British were being ostracized, he almost stopped laughing.
Zhao Hongyu likes to see the British being unlucky, because they are the biggest enemy in Zhao Hongyu's subconscious.
The empire on which the sun never sets in history is not easy to deal with.
??It is definitely not a joke to inform such a large colony and the entire ocean for more than a hundred years.
However, now because of his arrival, this era has experienced a random flapping of the wings of Zhao Hongyu, a little butterfly, and now there has been a big deviation.
??In the original history, the trajectory of the Thirty Years' War has deviated from the established route.
Spain had collapsed, and the Protestant union had gained a breathing space.
The coalition of church vassal states is now about to go to war with Portugal and France.
And the British, who were supposed to stand aside and reap the benefits, are now being squeezed out by all European countries.
What makes the British even more uncomfortable is that, whether on the church side or the Protestant side, they have made it clear to the British that their bottom line is that the Spanish or their overseas colonies will always be attacked by the British. , then they would regard the British as their enemies.
The British, who wanted to take advantage of the turmoil on the European continent to seize the colonial interests of European countries, were threatened by everyone after the conspiracy went bankrupt.
This made the originally confident British panic.
But with the facts before us, their explanation is simply unforgivable.
So, in the short term, the British are screwed.
Now in the UK, they can only hope that as time goes by, European countries can forget this unpleasant thing and re-accept the UK.
But God knows how long this will take.
Although they were unwilling to do so, the British also knew that their original plan could no longer be implemented.
If they insist on going their own way and implement the planned plan, they will definitely be suppressed by the European countries.
By that time, the European countries will target themselves.
Britain is not so powerful that it can respond to attacks from either side.
So, now the British side can only watch and drool over the colonial interests that have become a terra nullius, but they have no way to take it into their own hands.
This is such an uncomfortable feeling.
Only the British can understand the painful and uncomfortable feeling.
French grandmaster Louis XIII has left Marseille and is on his way to America.
Before little Louis XIII arrived in America, information about him had already been delivered to Manhattan.
Zhao Hongyu was not very interested in Little Louis XIII¡¯s visit.
He could completely guess what little Louis XIII was doing.
It¡¯s just to seek support, as well as financial and material help.
It would be even better if the American Song Empire could send troops.
However, this is obviously not in the interests of the Song Empire.
Now the Song Empire already has an American volunteer army helping France deal with the Holy Roman Empire.
It is very inappropriate for the Song Empire to continue to increase its troops.
However, it is still possible to expand financial assistance, material and food assistance.
But, what else can the French offer as collateral?
At the same time, Zhao Hongyu has now begun to prepare for his trip to the East, so Zhao Hongyu is ready to hand over the matter of contacting little Louis XIII to Zhang Tie, the highest military and political officer in Manhattan.
"Little Louis XIII is on his way to America. What do you think of this matter?"
After thinking for a while, Zhao Hongyu looked at Zhang Tiedao sitting on the sofa on the left side in front of him.
Zhang Tie leaned over and gestured slightly, then replied: "The situation in Europe has suddenly changed and it can be said to be a mess. All the countries in Eastern and Western Europe are about to be involved in the war. Faced with the aggressive situation of the Church's forces, , Portugal and France will definitely fight to the end, and it is very unreliable to want them to give up the Spanish territory."Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Yes, it is simply impossible for Portugal and France to give up the land and territory they have obtained. Whichever country this matter is dealt with, the answer will be the same. Church They think too simplistically, and Portugal and France are not interested in the church, especially Portugal."
He slowly expressed his opinion.
"It was the church that supported the Spaniards and annexed Portugal, a powerful country, so how could the Portuguese have a good attitude towards the church. In addition, the churches on the European continent were too greedy and did not bully Portugal in the first place. The people are the people, so the now restored Portugal will definitely not listen to the church¡¯s advice.¡±
"The French are not the same. They are not happy with the church. You must know that hundreds of years ago, after Joan of Arc was betrayed by the church to the British, the French began to have a bad feeling about the church."
Zhao Hongyu still knows a little about this history.
Although this understanding is somewhat biased and includes a lot of his personal guesses and judgments, what he said is still accurate.
¡°At least, based on the current situation, what Zhao Hongyu said is quite correct regarding the attitudes of Portugal and France towards the church.
From this perspective, it can also be seen that the power of the church has begun to decline in this era.
It is no longer like the Middle Ages hundreds of years ago, when one word can cover the whole world.
"Your Highness, the number of warships launched at the shipyard is enough now, and it is already spring. You can completely start the voyage to the East. It's just that little Louis XIII do you need to contact him before leaving? Woolen cloth?"
Zhang Tie asked at this time.
Yes, the number of battleship formations following Zhao Hongyu to the east is enough, and it is already spring.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu needs to start his voyage to the East.
However, now that the French crown prince Louis XIII is coming to America, if Zhao Hongyu wants to meet him, he will have to postpone his trip.
Zhao Hongyu shook his head and said to Zhang Tie: "Even if I didn't tell you the purpose of little Louis XIII's visit, you should have guessed it. His coming to America at this time is nothing more than to see our strength and observe us. potential and comprehensive national strength. By the way, I asked us to see if we can expand material assistance or something. After all, the church is now eyeing it and is preparing to go to war with Portugal and France. Portugal and France defeated Spain and occupied Spanish territory. , and quickly carved up those lands in Spain, the church group will not sit idly by."
After hearing what Zhao Hongyu said, Zhang Tie nodded silently.
Zhang Tie is of course very clear about the current situation in Europe and what Portugal and France have to face.
You know, the concession intelligence departments in Lisbon and Marseille are not just freeloaders.
They had already carried the information they had obtained with their personnel and sent it back to the American continent on French merchant ships.
"Your Highness is right. The French probably consider that they have to face the attack of the church princes and may not be able to cope with it, so it is understandable that they hope that we will expand the amount of assistance. After all, Portugal and France are only two countries, but The combined strength of the church and the Habsburg princes is not weak."
Zhang Tie said to Zhao Hongyu while nodding.
"Although they are confronting the Protestant coalition forces in the Netherlands, the Protestant coalition forces are now too weak to actively attack the coalition forces of the church princes. Therefore, as long as the protestant coalition forces are suppressed in the Netherlands, the church princes will be in their respective countries. By forming a new legion, we can start a war with Portugal and France."
Zhao Hongyu sat there very quietly, listening to Zhang Tie analyzing the current situation on the European continent to him.
"Fighting on two fronts? This is a taboo for military strategists."
Zhao Hongyu said to Zhang Tie in confusion.
Although Zhao Hongyu is a military idiot, he also knows one thing, that is, fighting on two fronts is a very wrong choice.
??History, any war fought on two fronts has not ended well for the initiator.
Nowadays, the coalition forces of the church princes are actually choosing to fight on two fronts. Don¡¯t they know?
After hearing Zhao Hongyu's puzzling question, Zhang Tie smiled and said: "It's okay to say that the church is arrogant, or they are confident. After all, the overall strength of the coalition of church princes is still very strong. In addition to the empire, there are many vassal states in central Europe and vassal states in Eastern Europe. Even the Poles are part of their camp. Compared with church prevention, it isIt is said that the army is strong and the horse is strong. "
Zhang Ti explained to Zhao Hong and gave Zhao Hongyu an intuitive understanding.
After all, although Zhao Hongyu knows some about the history of this era, it is not that accurate.
Zhang Tieze can obtain very detailed information through the intelligence department.
"Your Highness, if Portugal and France hadn't killed the Spaniards and captured their capital, maybe now the Protestant coalition forces would have been defeated by the church troops. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that Portugal and France saved the Protestant coalition forces. Yes. Therefore, it can be seen that the strength of the Protestant coalition is very weak, at least much weaker than the church. It is precisely because of this relationship that the church does not take the Protestant coalition into consideration, so they can Free up your hands to launch a two-front battle and prepare to attack Portugal and France."
Hearing Zhang Tie explain to himself, Zhao Hongyu finally understood.
It turns out that the Protestant coalition forces are so weak.
But then Zhao Hongyu felt a little incredible, because if the Protestant coalition forces were really weak according to what Zhang Tie said, then how could they have been at war with the church for thirty years in history?
