Mr. Jagged is really envious of the Renaissance Army, and even a little jealous.
Why is the Renaissance Army located in the far east, why are the enemies around them so weak, and why do they have such a large population?
A nation with such a large population is still a relatively homogeneous nation, and they also have a unified culture.
The Germans are also a great nation, but why are they surrounded by powerful enemies and why is it so difficult for them to expand.
Even unifying the Germanic people was so difficult.
"Sir, in fact, I have always believed that you can integrate the entire Europe. Although the ethnic composition here is complicated, if the German Federation is strong enough, it can still keep them outside your rule. Our president is willing to work with you to build an organization that can cover
A new order for the whole world." Wang Tao said.
From what Mr. Tie Xue heard, Wang Tao was just trying to comfort him. The Renaissance Army could only integrate the entire East if multiple reasons were met.
And it is really difficult for Germany to integrate the West.
Originally there were three mountains above them.
Now that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has been defeated by them, and the French have been weakened by the Renaissance Army, only the French are left who want to suppress Prussia.
"Sir, what will happen if the French don't give up on Rome this time? I feel like those Italians alone are no match for the French." Wang Tao asked.
He also wanted Mr. Iron-Blooded to be able to shed some light on this matter. The President was very concerned about this matter.
Wang Tao didn't know why Dong Shuheng was suddenly so concerned about this matter.
But now that the president has given his instructions, he must do it well at all costs.
He already knew the news that he was about to return to China for a promotion, and the recent period was his final big test.
After so many years in Europe, Wang Tao also felt homesick. He had been away from home for many years, and now he has returned home in glory.
He left his hometown when the Renaissance Army was still weak. Now the Renaissance Army has become dominant in the east.
In his memory, the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty were still poor and weak.
In recent years, we can only understand some local conditions from newspapers and photos.
Now that he suddenly knew that he was going back, he felt very uneasy.
He was very cautious about his final work on Europa and could not capsize at this last moment.
"Minister Wang, I can only tell you that the navy will not go to war. The French are the mercenaries of the Pope, so our Prussian army can also be the mercenaries of the Italians. You should be able to understand this.
Right." Living up to expectations, Mr. Iron-Blooded gave Wang Tao a response.
In this case, there will be no problem. With the help of the Prussian Army, it will only be a matter of time before Italy takes over Rome.

"Extra! Extra! The Japanese troops on Nanhua Island surrender!" On the streets of Xinjing, eye-catching big-character posters were posted on wooden newsstands.
Log cabins of this style are very common in Xinjing’s joints. They are decorated in different colors and are a beautiful sight on the streets of Xinjing.
And it is just one of the measures taken by the new capital to solve people's livelihood problems.
Some of these cabins are newsstands, some are canteens, and some are delicatessens.
Having just finished visiting the palace, Baoling took the car back to the hotel.
The palace is in the old city, and the roads here are a bit crowded.
However, the smell of fireworks is very strong, so you won’t feel lonely living here.
He even went to several markets with Zhu Jianwen.
Bao Ling spent a long time shopping in the cultural and entertainment market and bought a few things. However, he was a foreigner and could not take many things with him when he left the country.
Just looking at it made him very satisfied. At the same time, he also felt the rich connotation of Eastern culture.
Bao Ling knew Chinese, and the big-character poster on the newspaper stop attracted his attention, and the good mood accumulated throughout the day was instantly wiped out.
Is New South Wales gone? It was the last remaining colony of the Great Empire in the East.
At this point, the Great Shadow Empire has completely withdrawn from the Pacific region.
Summer Palace, Presidential Palace.
Zuo Jigao was sitting opposite Dong Shuheng, looking unhappy. He had just recently heard that a large amount of iron ore had been discovered on Xinhua Island.
These iron ores are not only of good quality and high in iron content, but almost all of them can be mined in the open pit.
At this time, iron ore mining was hardly perfect, and the technology for digging mines was still lacking, and the cost was high and the accident rate was high.
Therefore, the ability to mine open pit is a very important technical indicator.
"President, how can Nanhua be managed by a company when it is so big? What if they endanger our local interests in the future?"
"I think it's enough to give them part of the development rights as a reward for their assistance in sending troops, and they won't suffer any loss."
Although before sending troops, Dong Shuheng had already said at the enlarged meeting that Nanhua would be managed by West Pacific Company in the future.
Its status is equivalent to that of an attached vassal state. It has no independent diplomatic power. It has to accept the garrison of the Renaissance Army and also bear the cost of garrisoning.
Nowadays, many small Chinese countries in the Nanyang region have Fuxing Army garrisons, ranging from as little as an infantry battalion to as many as a division.
These countries can not maintain their own troops and become annexed vassal states, with the Renaissance Army protecting their security.
However, you will also have to bear certain security costs.
"Lao Zuo, I have already explained the reason before, but I can continue to explain it to you. It is impossible for our Renaissance Army to manage the entire world. No one person or organization can do this."
"Different areas and different people will always bring different characteristics. Although Nanhua is still a blank sheet of paper now, there will also be problems of its own in the future. If we manage it ourselves, then we will have to deal with these problems.
Deal with it. Now the FNA's stall is too big. It is very likely that if a problem breaks out in one place, there will be a chain reaction."
"Just like a person's body, as long as there is an infection in one place, it is likely to spread to other parts of the body."
"But by cutting off this area, we can completely block the spread."
"In fact, we can take back many small countries in Southeast Asia and manage them ourselves, but I have not done so, just for this reason. We do not manage them directly, but the local resources can still be used by us."
"President, if you hand over Nanhua to West Pacific Company, what if they use iron ore to choke our necks in the future?" Zuo Jigao said worriedly.
"Lao Zuo, think about it, we have troops stationed there, and the manpower and technology Nanhua needs must come from us."
"So what if they make money from iron ore? These iron ores are not settled in Chinese dollars. This is why we print more banknotes."
"They sent iron ore, got back Huayuan, and then used Huayuan to buy things in the Greater China Circle. This will only promote greater business prosperity in the Greater China Circle."
…
After some explanations from Dong Shuheng, Zuo Jigao gave up lobbying.
Apparently he was not the only one, a group of people were interested in Nanhua.
Perhaps the scope of the company's shareholders' meeting is too narrow. It seems that we need to discuss with Ximei to expand the company's shares again.
After all, iron ore is now a gimmick for stock expansion.
In Sydney, the Government House where John Young originally lived has become Ding Li's temporary residence.
As the commander-in-chief of the occupying forces, only Ding Li is qualified to station here.
This landing operation was not as difficult as imagined.
But it's not that simple.
The resistance of the militias organized by John Young was still very determined.
At first, John Young organized a defense line on the seaside, but under the baptism of thousands of naval artillery, these people and the seaside defense facilities were reduced to dust.
He could only ask everyone to retreat to the city.
There is no need for the Marines to land on the beach.
What followed was just an urban street fight.
The battle was fierce, and the advantage of the Marine Corps' powerful assault firepower came into play at this time.
Because they need to land on the beach, the Marine Corps is equipped with light firepower that is convenient, especially machine guns and mortars.
The street fighting ended in half a day, after all, this city is not that big.
But after this battle, there were not many men left in the city, only a few women and children left.
Ding Li did not make things difficult for these people. In the end, these people had to be handed over to West Pacific Company for management.
I will go back after staying for a while.
He did not participate in the battle in Melbourne in the south. With the cooperation of the security team led by Su Ting, a Marine brigade easily occupied the place.
At this point, the entire Southwest South Wales has been liberated.
Others hid in the mountains and desert areas of the west and became horse bandits.
These people can only be cleared away slowly by the security team.
For a long time to come, these white people hiding in the west will be fleas that give Su Ting a headache.
He couldn't take pictures, and he always came out to cause trouble, which had a great impact on the local development of West Pacific Company.
After sending away the troublesome Zuo Jigao, Dong Shuheng called Jiang Yuqin.
"Wenxuan, what is that Bao Ling doing these days? Can you still sit still?"
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent someone to take him around Xinjing. He is quite mature and prudent," Jiang Yuqin said.
"Hmph... He is indeed an old diplomat. It is still very difficult to make friends with these elites who were cultivated during the peak period of the Great Empire."
"Let's do this. Let Qingbei meet with him tomorrow and mention our requirements. The day after tomorrow, let him go with me to Lushun to watch the delivery ceremony of the 'Taishan Class'."
Dong Shuheng's move is actually very simple, it is to show his authority. Emperors in ancient times liked to use this move when receiving foreign envoys.
However, Dong Shuheng will not negotiate with Bao Ling in China, and the location of the negotiations will still be in the Great Empire.
After meeting Bao Ling, he would ask Liu Qingbei to take Bao Ling with him to the west.
When they reach the Mediterranean, they will drop him off and let him return to his country to deliver his message, and at the same time convey his thoughts to their Majesty the Queen.
At this time, Dong Shuheng can basically review the bipolar confrontation with the people of Yu.
The immediate cause was Temple's blockade of the Baath Army.
The defeat in the war on the subcontinent was the reason why the Koreans decided to deal with the Renaissance Army.
They knew very well that with the support of the Renaissance Army, the Great Empire could never win the war in the subcontinent.
Because of the participation of the Renaissance Army, this war is not equitable.
The southwest region of the Renaissance Army is directly connected to the subcontinent.
Their supplies can be continuously transported to the subcontinent to arm the rebel forces here.
The people from the Yu country had to come all the way.
Another reason why the Chinese people dared to go to war was because of their own Great White Fleet.
As a maritime hegemonic country, the Great Empire was very superstitious about its navy.
They believed that as long as they defeated the Renaissance Army at sea and then blocked the coast of the Renaissance Army to lose contact with their overseas vassal states, they would be able to force them to sit at the negotiating table.
But they still underestimated the potential of the Renaissance Army Navy.
At the critical moment, Dong Shuheng's preparation in advance played an important role.
Now that this heroic submarine formation has returned to China, Dong Shuheng even went to meet those officers and soldiers.
Dong Shuheng was very pleased with Guo Yan's growth. The orphans he rescued back then had grown into the backbone of the navy.
On the stage of the Fuxing Army, Guo Yan will have unlimited and broad space for development.
Next comes the stage of all-out war.
The Koreans landed their troops in South Amelia, threatened Donghua, and sent a fleet into the Pacific waters to conduct a raid.
They even sent troops to North Amelia to attack the Han and Tang areas of the Renaissance Army.
The Renaissance Army also responded, and the Nanyang Navy was in the Eastern Pacific to clean up those Japanese warships that had invaded the Pacific.
The Donghua Army mobilized again, not only to block Grenada's attack, but also to send troops to take back the Malvinas Islands and completely block the Koreans' access to the Pacific Ocean.
In addition, they also sent an expeditionary force and fleet to New Zealand, and cooperated with the expeditionary force sent by the Renaissance Army to New South Wales to take away these two strongholds of the Koreans in the South Pacific.
This will complete the Great China Circle.
The Greater China Circle with the Pacific Rim as its core has officially taken shape.
From then on, Western powers had no chance to intervene in the Pacific Rim.
It also laid the foundation for the Greater China Circle to continue to expand outward.
The victory in the Indian Ocean naval battle is the key to this war. It is also an important turning point.
After the victory in the naval battle, the counterattack officially began.
However, due to the poor weather conditions in the subcontinent during the rainy season, the real counterattack actually only started after the end of the rainy season.
While the war on the subcontinent was ongoing, the navy had already taken a step ahead to expand territory in the Arabian Sea region.
The Renaissance Army defeated the Great Navy and naturally wanted to take over everything that the Great Navy had here.
So Bao Youzhi first entered the Persian Gulf, cooperated with the Persian Kingdom to conquer the truce states, and occupied Bahrain Island as a naval base in the Persian Gulf.
Then he cooperated with the Sultan of Muscat to attack Zanzibar, and then occupied a foothold in East Africa.
In order to cope with the Korean people's accelerated excavation of the Suez Canal, the Renaissance Army must control a place in the Gulf of Aden, the gateway to the Red Sea.
In order to block the shortcut for Koreans to enter the Indian Ocean in the future.
Step by step, there are some things that Dong Shuheng has prepared for a long time ago. For example, the development and exploration of the South China region, such as the submarine force as a trump card, and the forces supported by the subcontinent.
There were also some things that he had not expected, such as the Chinese sending troops to Amelia and sending a fleet into the Pacific at great risk.
Another example is that the Koreans accelerated the construction of the Suez Canal, which forced Dong Shuheng to intervene in East Africa in advance.
Therefore, he also had to consider in advance the issue of several European powers uniting to deal with the Renaissance Army.
Perhaps the next confrontation will be between the two major forces.
