The European continent was turbulent, but the American Song Empire, which stirred up the turmoil, had not participated in it.
Instead, he took advantage of the chaos in Europe to develop himself wholeheartedly.
In order to seek to dominate the ocean in the future.
Only by rising on the ocean can the empire become completely powerful and have the ability to defend its enemies from outside the country.
Although Zhao Hongyu owns a plug-in, even if he owns a plug-in, if you want to develop a huge empire into a powerful one, it will not happen overnight.
Especially many things, it is impossible to give up like this.
??For example, hegemony on the ocean.
¡° If Zhao Hongyu does not consider this issue in advance and allows the Europeans to seize the opportunity, then even after the empire becomes stronger, it will pay a high price when seizing maritime hegemony.
Rather than doing this, it would be better to take this opportunity to lay an ambush.
??Besides, if Europe is now in turmoil, the Song Empire has actually lost nothing.
What¡¯s more, you don¡¯t have to get involved.
So far, the benefits the empire has received from the European continent have far exceeded what it has paid.
At the same time, Portugal and France were holding up the front, and the empire only sent more than 8,000 volunteers in a symbolic manner.
You must know that it is impossible not to send more than 8,000 volunteers.
¡°At least we need to let Portugal and France see the power shown by the Empire and the ¡®sincerity¡¯ of the Empire, right?
Only in this way can the alliance become stronger.
At the same time, let Portugal and France truly feel at ease and deal with the coalition forces of the church princes.
"If the empire only provided some assistance without taking any substantive actions, Portugal and France would not be able to trust the empire so much, and things would not evolve like this.
For all this, Zhao Hongyu and the others had very detailed considerations.
But now, the turmoil happening on the European continent is at least part of Zhao Hongyu's plan.
It can be said that everything went relatively smoothly.
As long as the current situation continues, there will be no special accidents or strong historical inertia.
Then, the empire will be able to develop for a long period of time, and in just a few years, the imperial fleet can be completed.
After all, it wants to be the overlord of the ocean, so the number of maritime warships the empire needs will definitely not be small.
You must know that in this era of Europeans, the total number of warships from various countries has exceeded 30,000 sea-going ships.
And this is far from the number of sea-going ships owned by Europeans at their peak.
According to normal history, after the Thirty Years' War, the Dutch would rise above the ocean and begin to play the important historical role of sea coachmen.
Before the Dutch were defeated by the British, they built more than 50,000 warships with the national strength of a small country.
"Sea Coachman" actually has a well-deserved reputation.
However, due to natural factors, some natural and man-made disasters, and the prying eyes of pirates, the number of these ships has slowly decreased.
Especially during the decades when they competed with the British for hegemony, the Dutch eventually declined, and their glory was gone forever.
Therefore, according to Zhao Hongyu and others, the empire must build a large number of warships in order to achieve its goal of dominating the ocean.
Although the battleships built under the empire are very powerful, without a certain number, dominating the ocean will be an empty talk.
After all, the benefits on the ocean are too great.
¡°As long as the empire shows a little bit of such intention, then the European countries will definitely attack together.
Even if things go wrong between Portugal and France, they will fall out.
You must know that there is no eternal friendship between countries, there are only eternal interests.
The current ties between the empire and Portugal and France are bound by this conflict-free interest.
¡°If one day there is a conflict of interest, the ties between the empire and Portugal and France will be easily severed.
It is not impossible for friends to become enemies.
At the same time, the empire does not have enough warships to defend its maritime borders, which is also very troublesome.
By then, wouldn¡¯t the enemy be able to easily harass the empire¡¯s coastal cities?
This is a must?Be prepared.
Now that history has taken a divergent path, it depends on how it develops in the future.
As long as the empire makes good use of this opportunity, it is definitely not unrealistic for the empire to rise in such a relatively ignorant era.
By then, Zhao Hongyu will be able to lead the empire and the Chinese ethnic groups in the empire to stand on top of the world and become the top of the pyramid.
As for people from other countries, they are the stepping stones of the empire.
The empire can completely suck their blood and sweat to fatten itself.
Although it is cruel to do so, this is the truth of the world.
The law of the jungle has existed since ancient times.
¡°Besides, even if Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t do this, won¡¯t they do the same when it is the turn of other countries to rise?
?Obviously, this is certain.
If you think about what happened in another time and space in history, you can clearly understand this truth.
? Europeans took control of the oceans and made their countries powerful.
With strong ships and powerful guns, as well as black opium, Dongfang was in a mess.
So, why can¡¯t Zhao Hongyu do this in this time and space?
The top leaders of the empire are not people who talk about benevolence, justice and morality. They know very well what they want to do and how to do it.
Of course, this does not mean that all of them are cold-blooded beasts, born with insensitivity.
It¡¯s just that their benevolence, righteousness and morality depend on who the target is, rather than how they treat everyone.
??If they do this, they are truly idiots.
Europeans are still in the dark about the plans of the American empire.
Even Portugal and France, which had reached an alliance agreement with the American Song Empire, regarded the Song Empire as the enemy.
¡°Don¡¯t you know that all European countries have been plotted against?
It¡¯s just that no one will wake up to this calculation in a short time.
Jenny and her friends took out the money from the check in Paris, France, and quickly left Paris.
After leaving Paris, all of them looked unhappy.
"It's really unimaginable that we lived in an environment like this in Europe before. If we hadn't gone to the Song Empire in America and learned about the urban environment of the Song Empire, we would have never known that there were such clean and tidy cities.", for a long time Afterwards, Ruth finally couldn't help but express his opinion. "Paris is a big city, but I feel like I'm in a public toilet. The environment there is really terrible."
Ruth¡¯s words won the approval of many companions.
Even Jenny agrees.
Although Jenny and the others have only seen Manhattan in America, they also know the environmental conditions of Manhattan.
In Manhattan, there are many cleaners who work from morning to night to keep the city clean and tidy.
It is also this profession that provides many jobs to Europeans who go to the Americas to make a living, so that they can support their families with this job.
And Manhattan, because of the efforts of these people, the entire city is very clean.
Every day¡¯s domestic garbage and daily garbage will be cleaned up, and it will not be littered everywhere like in European cities.
Therefore, although Manhattan in America is a trading city with a large population, the city is still very clean.
It¡¯s nothing like European cities, where sewage flows everywhere and the streets are full of stinking feces and urine.
They had already learned the meaning of the phrase "city floating" in excrement in Paris.
Maybe it¡¯s because they were used to the clean and tidy urban environment in the American continent, so after returning to Europe this time, Jenny and some of her European companions became a little uncomfortable.
You must know that when Europeans like them did not go to the Song Empire, they lived in such a city all the time.
At that time, they didn¡¯t complain.
Instead, they now went to the Song Empire in America. After living there for more than a year, these people became very uncomfortable after returning to Europe.
It has to be said that people can accept some comfortable environments, but after they accept the comfortable environment, they will not be able to accept it when they return to the previous difficult environment.
This is called going from frugality to luxury, but going from luxury to frugality is difficult.
Now JaneThis is the mentality of Ni and others.
However, it was precisely through this comparison that they discovered that the American Song Empire was more advanced than Europe by more than half.
Among Jenny¡¯s companions on this trip, there were several Indians.
These Indians are also people who believe in the Jie religion.
Originally, the Indians believed in gods, so after they saw those magical ¡®artifacts¡¯, it was not surprising that some fanatical believers emerged.
Who told Zhao Hongyu and others that they would cheat.
And these Indians basically joined the Song Empire when Zhao Hongyu rose.
It can be said that they have experienced the city of Manhattan from scratch, and it is precisely because of this that they are very familiar with the city of Manhattan. I also thought that all cities in the world were the same as Manhattan.
However, when they followed Jenny into Paris, they discovered that the reality was completely different from what they thought.
The stinky smell of Paris almost knocked them to the ground.
At the same time, after entering the city of Paris, they were even more eye-opened by the feces and garbage on the streets.
It was at this moment that they realized that the environment in Manhattan was better.
¡°It is absolutely unacceptable if they are allowed to live in such a city.
Even if the city of Manhattan was not established and they were still living in tribal tents, they would not leave all their feces in the tribe.
Because Indians pay more attention to hygiene.
It¡¯s an eye-opener, it¡¯s really an eye-opener.
Looking at the faces of her companions, Jenny didn¡¯t know what to say.
However, she knew that situations like Paris actually existed in cities across Europe.
Even small towns around cities are not immune to this kind of thing.
The difference is that the city is worse, while the surrounding towns are slightly better. After all, towns can bury it, right?
At this point, the Indians in the team began to have some contempt for the white people.
¡°Originally they thought that white people were also very powerful, but now it seems that is far from the case.
The faces of the European companions all blushed. Although they have now become citizens of the empire, they still feel embarrassed or even ashamed of it.
After all, who told them to live and grow here before?
There is no way to change this.
Fortunately, Jenny didn¡¯t want to get too entangled in this issue, so she opened her mouth to divert everyone¡¯s attention.
"Now that we have money, we can start our mission."
Jenny¡¯s words shocked the bodies of the companions sitting on the war horses, and then the expressions on their faces became serious.
"Boss, please give your orders, what should we do next?"
Ruth spoke to Jenny on behalf of her companions.
Jenny¡¯s eyes flashed across the faces of her companions one by one, and she also had a stern expression on her face.
Because Jenny is very clear about this mission and also knows that the mission has many dangers.
She also knows better how important this mission is to the empire and the Jiejiao.
"We have two tasks this time. One is to assassinate the top leaders of the church so that they can create a vacuum in their power and have no ability to spy on us in the Americas. However, we cannot go to assassinate people so recklessly. We need to find out some people. Their movement trajectory, as well as their work and rest time, this takes time.¡±
After all, Jenny has been an assassin, so he knows these very well.
But this is not the case with her companions. Basically, everyone has no awareness of this.
It is precisely because of this that after coming to Europe, Jenny will be the leader to lead everyone.
At the same time, because Jenny has experience in this area, everyone is willing to follow her leadership and arrangements.
"Okay, everyone listens to you. You have experience in this area. We have not done this before, so we have no experience in this area. If we mess up, it will probably lead to the failure of the mission. You can lead us to make reasonable arrangements. That¡¯s good, I think everyone won¡¯t have any objections.¡±
After Jenny¡¯s words fell, Ruth spoke to Jenny again.
As Ruth spoke, the companions around him also nodded.
Because what Ruth said is true, they are heading to the United StatesBefore the Song Empire, there was indeed no experience in this area.
They used to be just ordinary people.
Therefore, everyone in the branch agreed with what Ruth said and obeyed Jenny¡¯s arrangements and leadership.
Because no one wants to fail the mission because of themselves.
"Okay, since everyone trusts me so much, then I will take up this responsibility. Next, I want to talk about the second task" Jenny glanced at her companions with great satisfaction and said seriously. . (To be continued.
