The recommendations of the Conference of Nations may sound a bit like the "League of Nations" or the "United Nations", but in fact it is completely different. Because whether it is the League of Nations or the United Nations, they always act in the name of upholding justice and protecting the weak.

No matter how effective it is, the archway must still be erected high. And the conference of nations proposed by Guo Youde now is a conference to carve up the world!

What about upholding justice and protecting the weak? Who would have such a holy heart in the 17th century? The 17th century was an era of the weak and the strong. The whole world was a dark forest. If a weak or small country was destroyed, it would be a deserving one... Who

Make you weak? In this era, being weak is the original sin! Being weak and rich is simply an unforgivable sin! A weak and rich country wants to be "guilt-free" unless there is a very awesome "Dad Country", and this

This means that it will lose part of its sovereignty.

But the law of the jungle does not mean that there is no need for order, nor does it mean that the big powers, the small strong and the weak cannot find a place to sit down and talk... We must give the small strong a chance to participate in the law of the jungle and let them eat

Order some minced meat and some soup to prevent them from getting impatient and risking their lives with the big powers, and at the same time, give the weak powers a half chance of surrendering and losing.

Even before a gang fight breaks out, some senior gangsters can come forward to make peace, right?

Of course, Emperor Zhu Da, who actually proposed this conference of nations, was not really so kind... His purpose was to create an international stage that divided and disintegrated the opponent's camp.

Compared with the systems of the Frank Empire and the Great Mongol Empire, the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty is the most stable and harmonious. In the Pacific region dominated by the Ming Dynasty, there are almost no powerful countries that can challenge the power of the Ming Dynasty. Except for the South

There is still territory in the Americas that belongs to the Spanish Empire, and only the Aztecs can be considered a "little power" with sovereignty. However, the Ming Dynasty rebuilt the Aztecs, and at the same time, the Aztecs also cooperated with the Spanish Empire and even the entire Western Christianity.

There are blood feuds all over the world - this is not about killing a Saint Leopold, but about an Indian counterattack and a complete liquidation of Western colonialism! This is simply digging into the roots of Western Christian civilization, so Azte

Ke will never oppose the Ming Dynasty, it will only oppose the West, and the West will not let it go!

Therefore, Zhu Heji was not afraid that Western Christian civilization and Mongolia, which "owns the Mongolian Ocean", would poach the Ming Dynasty through the Conference of Nations. But his Ming Dynasty could use the platform of the Conference of Nations to control the Mongolian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.

influence on affairs.

For example, the excavation of the Suez Canal this time can be seen as China using the mechanism of the conference of nations to intervene in European and African affairs!

Louis XIV’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Hugo Leonard, was probably the most outstanding European diplomat of this era. Of course, he understood that the Suez Canal and the Conference of Nations would do more harm than good to the Frank Empire. But just relying on

The Frankish Empire was a powerful country, but it didn’t dare to directly send troops to block the excavation of the Suez Canal—it wasn’t that it couldn’t be done, but it was that it didn’t dare!

Don't forget that France's Mediterranean fleet is indeed very strong and can dominate the Mediterranean, but the Ottoman Empire has the Yeniceri anti-ship cavalry that is dedicated to disgusting the naval fleet!

These anti-ship cavalry are equipped with "horse-mounted anti-ship rocket launchers" produced by the Ming Empire. In the past few sieges of Vienna, this group of Yenicheri anti-ship cavalry used "horse-mounted anti-ship rocket launchers" to destroy them.

Passed many river gunboats of the Frank Empire.

Moreover, these cavalrymen who run around with rocket launchers are also active at the entrance to the Strait of Marmara, the coastal areas of Albania and Greece, and Crete. Although their firepower is not comparable to the French warships, they are always

It can force back malicious foreign warships approaching the coastline...because no naval commander would trade his expensive warships for a single anti-ship cavalry!

This kind of "exchange" is such a loss. There is nothing to brag about if you win... A battleship is so big that you have the nerve to say that you killed two or three enemy cavalry? If you lose the battle, let alone sink it, just use rockets on others.

It's shameless to open a few holes! In the first battleship, two cavalrymen opened several holes. They were covered in smoke and ran away from the enemy's coastline crying. Does the glory of France need to be told about this kind of thing?

In addition, because this "horse-mounted anti-ship rocket launcher" is very powerful and highly maneuverable, of course it can also be used to attack land targets, and the strike effect is also excellent when used in land field battles. Therefore, the Ottoman

The Jenichery anti-ship cavalry was also a multi-purpose amphibious cavalry - it was precisely because of the existence of this cavalry that the Frankish Empire's battle to regain Vienna was extremely difficult.

Precisely because of the existence of these anti-ship cavalry, the Frank Empire had some psychological shadow about landing on the Mediterranean coast of the Ottoman Empire, fearing that dozens of bearded men carrying rocket launchers and riding Arabian horses would suddenly appear on the enemy's beach.

....

Thinking of this, Leona turned his attention to Suo'etu, the envoy of the Great Mongolia: "Suo Zhongtang, do you think the proposal of digging the Suez Canal and convening a conference of nations is feasible?"

Soetou smiled and replied: "Very good, very good... With this Grand Canal, the goods shipped from Diu Port can save more than 20,000 miles to France! Then

How much money do we need to save? Moreover, it would be good to have a meeting of all countries to discuss things like digging a canal, otherwise something as good as digging the Grand Canal would simply not be possible!"

After Soetu's words were translated into Latin, Leonardo felt a little worried in his heart - did Soetou really think that the Suez Canal and the Conference of Nations were good, or had he reached some secret agreement with the Ming Dynasty in private?

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thinking of this, he glanced at the Pope's envoy Dega Magala again. The cardinal saw the look of the French Foreign Minister and also smiled and said: "Me too

I think it's pretty good...With this Suez Canal, Italy can prosper!

And with the Council of Nations, we, the Frank Emperor and the Pope, can make a request to the Ottoman Empire to open Jerusalem for Christian pilgrimage!”

How could the Holy See oppose the Suez Canal?

Although Urban IX is a Frenchman, the Holy See is located in Rome after all, and the Holy See’s territory is mainly in Italy. I think that before the new sea route was opened, Italy benefited from the trade between the East and the West, and it was really rich.

....England, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain were all poor people back then! The richest in Europe were Italy, Venice, Genoa, and Pisa, which were city-states engaged in maritime trade. Just pick any one of them.

He is richer than those beggars and monarchs in Western Europe.

Moreover, the Holy See has always wanted to organize believers to "travel" to Jerusalem... That is a lucrative business! I think the Knights Templar, who were as wealthy as many countries in the past, started by serving as bodyguards for pilgrim believers.

of.

"Pilgrimage is a must, it's a matter of course!" Soetou laughed, "We can go one step further and let the Ottoman Empire take out Jerusalem to establish a holy concession and rent it to the Holy See for admission!"

Guo Youde also nodded: "That's right! No one should stop the pilgrimage... But whether the Ottoman Sultan agrees to designate a holy concession for you in Jerusalem will have to be discussed carefully by the Pope and the Caliph.

coming."

Guo Youde shook his big, black head, and then said: "The Hindustan Empire does not prevent the great monk Galdan from building Nalanda Temple, and the Ottoman Empire probably does not prevent Christians from going to Jerusalem for pilgrimage.

, then my Ming Dynasty will not stop Confucian, Taoist and Buddhist believers from coming to pilgrimage... Ah, you also don't stop the disciples of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism from coming to Ming Dynasty for pilgrimage, do you understand?"

"I know, I know, we won't stop you." Suo'etu was the first to express his stance.

Leona and Dejiamagala saw Suo'etu nodding, so they could only nod along!

The believers of this God can go to Jerusalem to worship Heavenly Brother Jesus, and of course the believers of the devil can go back to the Ming Dynasty for pilgrimage!

Guo Youde struck again while the iron was hot: "I think that after the conference of nations becomes frightened, in addition to discussing the Suez Canal, they can also discuss the matter of providing convenience for foreign believers to come to our country for pilgrimage."

He glanced at Leonard with a gloomy expression again, "Li Zhongtang, do you think this can be done?"

The "matter" Guo Youde asked about was of course not a pilgrimage, but a matter of holding a conference of nations.

Now that two of the world's three major "rascals" have reached an agreement, and even the Pope supports the opening of the canal and the holding of a conference of nations, can the Frankish Empire withstand it?

Although the Frank Empire was very powerful, there were many small powers in the Atlantic controlled by the Frank Empire. England, the Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, Rakshasa, and Portugal all had certain strengths. Among them, Spain, the Netherlands, England, and Sweden could even compete with France.

A battle!

And convening a conference of countries will definitely be beneficial to these small powers... As for digging the Suez Canal, the benefits to England, the Netherlands, and Rakshasa will definitely outweigh the disadvantages, and they will definitely support it. Among them, England and the Netherlands

They are the big winners in the Age of Discovery. The number of large sailing ships they own ranks among the top two among Christian countries. Moreover, the total number of large sailing ships owned by these two countries is much more than that of other Christian countries combined. The opening of the canal is of course beneficial to them.

Advantageous. And the Rakshasa Kingdom has probably taken over the northern coast of the Black Sea, which is not far from Suez!

With the support of England, the Netherlands, and the Rakshasa, the canal seems to have been dug... Fortunately, the Frankish Empire is now the master of the Mediterranean. The opening of the Suez Canal can restore the Mediterranean to its former prosperity.

The Frankish Empire was not without some benefits.

Thinking of this, Leonard nodded and said: "I think that digging the canal and convening a meeting of the great powers are also in the interests of the Frank Empire... I will suggest His Majesty the Frank Emperor to grant permission. However, from ancient times to the present, can

Those who play a leading role in international affairs are all truly powerful countries, such as the French-Frank Empire, the Ming Empire and the Mongol Empire! I think you have no objection to this, right?"

His words were quickly translated into Chinese and Mongolian.

Of course, the representatives of Ming Dynasty and Mongolia who were present had no objections.

The carving up of the world is about to begin!

Guo Youde laughed loudly and said: "No objection, Li Zhongtang, Suo Zhongtang, I am the best to speak. How will this world be divided? Just tell me, and I will listen!"

His words sounded nice, but Daming’s strength was on display! Who dared not to take care of Daming’s interests?

Suo'etu took up the topic with a smile and said, "Let me tell you first. I, Mongolia, want to take care of the affairs of Mongolia Ocean!"

Guo Youde asked: "Then how do you manage it?"

Suo'etu said solemnly: "In the future, naval warships from other countries will not be able to wander around our Mongolian Ocean at will... There must be restrictions! Unless we, the Great Mongolia, agree, otherwise sovereign and independent countries outside the Mongolian Ocean will send

There shall not be more than twenty warships with a carrying capacity of more than 200 tons and equipped with rocket launchers that go to and exist in the Mongolian Ocean at the same time."

This condition of his was already discussed with Leonardo and Dega Magala, and was specially designed to block the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty implemented a vassal system, and emphasized that vassal states had no diplomacy - there was no diplomacy at all.

, of course it is not a sovereign country.

So once this restriction is added, the Ming Dynasty can only send twenty warships to the "Mongolian Ocean"... I won't mention freedom of navigation now.

But this cannot be difficult for Ming Dynasty, because Ming Dynasty is an exception!

"I agree!" Hugo Leonard immediately agreed, "The safety of navigation in the Atlantic Ocean will be jointly maintained by Spain, England, the Netherlands, Sweden, Portugal and other countries led by the Frank Empire. Without the approval of the Frank Empire, sovereign countries outside the territory will also

You cannot send twenty rocket launcher ships with a load capacity of more than 200 tons to enter!"

"Okay," Guo Youde smiled, "That's it."

He didn’t talk about the barriers to entry for the Pacific Ocean either… Anyway, no one dares to come looking for death!

Then Guo Youde said: "The Pacific Ocean, the Mongolian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean are divided like this... Next, it's time to divide the land! Let me mention a rule first. The three countries of Ming Dynasty, Mongolia, and Franks should first respect each other's sovereignty and sovereignty.

Territorial integrity. The three of us should not start a fight directly, lest we harm the harmony and let other small countries take advantage of the opportunity to become bigger."

Of course, the rules he mentioned are still invalid for the Ming Dynasty... The Ming Dynasty just doesn't want to expand endlessly because there are not so many people to occupy the territory.

Suo'etu immediately said: "I have no objection to this."

Hugo Leonard also nodded: "I also agree... Only by maintaining peace between our three major countries can we ensure our leadership in the world!"

Guo Youde went on to say: "Then we have to determine the ownerless territory! I, Da Ming, believe that most of Black Africa, the Southern Continent and Siberia are currently ownerless. Who will be the first to control the land in Black Africa, the Southern Continent and Siberia?

Only after it has been enclosed, established a stronghold, and able to exercise the power of control, can it be recognized as the territory of a certain country by a conference of nations."

"Agree!" Of course Suo'etu would not object...because this rule is beneficial to Mongolia! Mongolia can immediately send Indians to the east coast of Black Africa to grab territory!

"Agree!" Hugo Leonard also nodded, grabbing the territory... Frank is also very good at it, just do it as soon as you get back!

"Okay!" Guo Youde clapped his hands, "Then let's draw up another joint statement... tell the middle powers in the world that our three countries are divided in this world. Whoever doesn't accept it can come and fight! We three countries
