Maria Clementina organized her thoughts. Although she was already in her early eighties, this woman's thinking was still extremely clear, with no signs of Alzheimer's disease. Zhu Jishi's mind was equally sharp. He now smelled war. The smell means that war is probably coming. ¡Ó¡î "World peace is based on the cooperation between the Great Chinese Empire and the Roman Empire" Maria Clementina tried to analyze, "The Great Chinese Empire and the Roman Empire both have vast territories and rich resources. The world empire is the defender of world order!" Zhu Jishi nodded in agreement. After World War I, Greater China was the world leader and Rome was the second. Logically, the eldest brother should spare no effort to attack the second child to prevent him from getting bigger. Zhu Jishi and Emperor Xuanwu Zhu Guoxiong also planned to adopt such a foreign policy at one time. But in the end they changed their tune and adopted a policy of cooperation with Rome. Of course, decades of consistent pro-French thinking is at work here, but more importantly, Zhu Jishi is very aware of the limited potential of the Roman Empire - those European countries that were integrated by Napoleon III and Napoleon IV were later called Europe The Five Pig Countries, Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland are all here! Such a second child will never become the boss in ten thousand years! So Zhu Jishi was too lazy to cause trouble again. And the world situation in the following twenty years seems to have proved this. The Roman Eastern Empire, which led the five European pig countries, developed slowly. Not only was its heavy industry strength inferior to that of Germany and the United States, it was even overtaken by the Roman Western Empire, led by Mexico. Starting from 1890, the steel output of the Roman Eastern Empire , coal output and ship output were less than those of the Western Empire. In fact, if it were not for the industrial strength of the Western Empire. His position as the second in command of the Roman Empire was long gone. And as Napoleon IV fell into the development quagmire brought by the five European pig countries. His ambition to dominate the world gradually faded away. Instead, he became a collaborator of the Greater China Empire. Jointly maintain the world order after World War I - after all, the Roman Empire itself benefited greatly from World War I, not only roughly restoring the territory of the ancient Roman Empire at its peak, but also taking over after the collapse of the British Empire All British African territory except Madagascar was conquered, establishing Rome's dominance in Africa. Later, Zhu Juan pacified South America and restored Rome's absolute dominance in South America except New Japan. With such a huge world empire, everyone in France is satisfied, and everyone just wants to live their own life "But once Mathilde dies, the centrifugation of the Roman and Eastern Empires will intensify. This will give Germany, Slavs There is no chance of joining forces with the United States to destroy the Western world order," Maria Clementina said, "Unless Napoleon IV lets the King of Mexico take over as Caesar." "Napoleon IV seems to be preparing to appoint his son, the new King of France, as Caesar." Gao Zi said. Although she doesn't have much knowledge about SHIELD, she is very well-informed - the Department of Latent Science has the authority to establish an intelligence network outside the Greater China Empire, and collecting information from all aspects, especially science and technology, is their daily job. the key of. From the perspective of other SHIELD departments, the Latent Science Department is actually a department that handles strange and bizarre incidents by delivering scientific and technological intelligence. Gao Zi said: "After Mathilde's first stroke, Napoleon IV had ordered some institutions in the capital of the Western Empire to be prepared to move to New Orleans, including the Academy of Sciences of the Western Empire and the University of the Western Empire. We are here There are insiders lurking in these two organizations." Maria frowned and said: "This is a sign of moving the capital of the Western Empire to New Orleans. King Louis of New France is already 22 years old and can barely handle the affairs of the Western Empire. The attitude of the King of Mexico, if he" "Juan may not want to be Caesar, but the Mexican consortium wants to push him to be this Caesar." Zhu Jishi shook his head. He laughed and said, "The so-called Roman Empire has become two countries economically. If Juan intends to compete for Caesar's position, the world will be in chaos." If Napoleon III and Mathilde I jointly built The Roman Empire had a fatal flaw, and that was the existence of "double natives". Not only were France and Italy regarded as the homeland, but Mexico was also treated as the homeland of the empire for construction. After the failure of the United States, a large amount of American capital poured into Mexico, forming the Mexican Consortium, which also made Mexico an industrial power. In the Roman Western Empire, a combination of Mexican industrial countries and other agricultural countries was formed - the Western Empire. The country actually became a colony of Mexico! "The King of Mexico will not jump out so quickly," Maria said, "He has become more calm over the years." Zhu Jishi shook his head, "But he will not support the Roman Empire like Matilde There is no Mexico With the support of the Kingdom, the power of the Roman Empire would not be enough to overwhelm Germany and Slavia. It may not be long before Germany and SlaviaThe husband will attack Austria or somewhere else! ¡± According to the peace treaty signed between Germany and Russia after the last war, large areas of land in western Ukraine were ceded to Germany, but the German Empire did not want to take Bessarabia, which is adjacent to the southwestern part of Russian Ukraine and borders the Austrian Empire. Province (later Moldova), but left it to Russia, which is now the Slavic Socialist Union Republic, so that the Slavic Union has a passage south to the Balkans. This arrangement is clearly the work of Bismarck. The Slavic Alliance should be introduced into the Balkans to carve up the Austrian Empire with Germany - of course, it may also be possible to unite the Austrian Empire to deal with Slavic In short, the two countries should be bordered. "Greater China and Rome are both full lions. , Now I just want to sleep comfortably," Zhu Jishi sighed softly, "Although the three countries of the United States, Germany and Slavic countries have different social systems, they are all hungry wolves with deflated bellies, and their eyes are green If it weren't for me and Mathilde, they would have joined forces to expand! Now that Mathilde is gone, how many years can I have left? " "The Supreme Emperor has a strong body and can live to be at least 100 years old! "Takako Kusumoto took over and said. "To live to be 100 years old is just to enjoy another world war! "Zhu Jishi shook his head slightly. He is 82 years old this year, and his health is really good. It may be possible to be 100 years old. But he knows that even if he really lives to be 100 years old, he will not be able to keep the world at peace for another 18 years. Because the current situation in the world is that of two superpowers holding a lot of rich territory against three industrialized powers that are going crazy. It is almost the same as the situation before World War I and World War II. Exactly the same. Now that the industrialization of the Anglo-German Monarchy Alliance, the Socialist United States of America, and the Slavic Socialist Alliance has been basically completed, the powerful industrial productivity is in urgent need of finding overseas markets and raw materials. However, there are no "ownerless" countries in the world. Land. The territory of the Great Chinese Empire and the Roman Empire was so vast that it even surpassed the empire on which the sun never set. They took almost all the underdeveloped and wealthy lands in the world as their own. In this case, The two major world empires naturally lost the urge to expand further, and turned their main energy internally to deal with the various indigestion problems caused by rapid expansion. The main problem of the Roman Empire was the inability to form a centrifugal force between the Roman nation and the Eastern and Western Empires. Rome became big but not strong. The Great Chinese Empire was large and powerful, and its industry, agriculture, and population were powerful enough to crush all other countries in the world. However, there were internal problems within the Great Chinese Empire, especially the Ming Empire. , it has reached the point of causing headaches. But now the internal problems are no longer ethnic conflicts or lack of resources and land, but class conflicts accumulated after 50 years of rapid development of the capitalist economy. In other words, the interests of expansion and economic development were occupied by a small number of people - including the bourgeoisie, aristocrats, and some civilians who immigrated to wealthy lands overseas. However, most people in the Ming Dynasty did not receive much benefit. . This is also the reason why the Ming Socialist Party has grown in power and the Ming workers' movement has intensified in recent years. And the conflicts between the countries of Greater China have also accumulated, especially the overt and covert conflicts between the Ming Empire and the Donghua Kingdom. It has never stopped. With the continuous increase of Donghua's population and the development and utilization of industrial resources around the Great Lakes of North America, the pace of industrialization of Donghua Kingdom also began to accelerate 10 years ago, although it was unable to compete with the Ming Dynasty in light industry due to high labor prices. , but Donghua Heavy Industry, represented by steel, mining, machinery, electric power, and petrochemicals, has developed to a point where it is comparable to Daming Heavy Industry. Under this situation, the Great China Empire will not be able to survive for more than 20 years. As before, it has become very difficult to become a united and powerful war machine. On the one hand, the Ming Empire, as the core of Greater China, has no motivation for external conquests; on the other hand, the Ming Empire does not want Donghua to be involved next time. In the world war, it will further expand and completely annex the United States and even go further to annex New France. If it really gets to that point, Donghua will be the master of North and South America. ¡°Your Majesty, do you want to call the Forbidden City and ask the Emperor to come over? "Seeing that Zhu Jishi was silent, Kusumoto Takako asked in a low voice. "No need. "Zhu Jishi shook his hand, "I'm over eighty, there's nothing I can't let go of. He smiled at Maria and said, "Go and call the emperor and tell him that I plan to travel abroad after New Year's Day and let him make arrangements."
