Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 806 Prelude to World War

Shah Jahan means the ruler of the world in Hindi, and this period is indeed the most powerful period of the Mughal Empire.

The famous Taj Mahal in later generations was built by Shah Jahan for his second wife Mahalla.

Shah Jahana was also a monarch with a very strong sense of expansion. After he came to power, he not only conquered Maharashtra, Hyderabad, Karnataka and other places in the south, but also conquered Bengal in the east.

In the northwest direction, he even fought all the way to Kabul.

The Mughal Empire expanded rapidly under his rule, and he took over the entire South Asia and even parts of Central Asia.

There is also a reason why he doesn't take the Ming Empire seriously.

Because apart from the Persian Empire, he has no opponents in all directions, and the Persian Empire only relied on the solid defense of Kabul City and the muskets and artillery provided by the Habsburg Dynasty to block his footsteps. It is not that he cannot defeat the Persian Empire.

At least, he thought so.

To be honest, if it weren't for the high mountain like a moat in the north, he probably would have started fighting with Daming long ago.

His name as world ruler is not just for fun, he really wants to rule the whole world!

Now that the anti-Habsburg alliance provided him with muskets and cannons, he felt even more that he was about to burst.

The Ming Empire is nothing!

One word, do it!

As soon as the Earl of Stratford sent him a thousand muskets and a hundred cannons, he issued a conscription order, ordering that the army of the Mughal Empire be expanded to one million, and at the same time let the weapon workshops under his hands go all out. Go all out and build weapons and equipment crazily.

This is actually equivalent to a mobilization order for war.

And once many countries issue war mobilization orders at the same time, it will be the prelude to a world war.

During World War I, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire alone mobilized more than 2000 million troops after the first wave of war mobilization orders, and the total number of troops mobilized by the Allies reached more than [-] million.

The Allied Powers were even more frightening. They mobilized a total of more than 4000 million troops.

According to post-war statistics, the casualties of the Allies reached more than 500 million, and more than 300 million were directly killed in battle.

The casualties of the Allied Powers reached more than 2000 million, and more than 500 million were directly killed.

The casualties of civilians are even more terrifying. Tens of millions of civilians died of war and starvation alone.

Some people probably don't understand, why let's live a good life, but insist on triggering a world war, so that everyone can't live, or even live?
The reason for this is actually very simple.

Because some people are extremely selfish, ignoring the life and death of others, and only caring about their own interests. They just want to enjoy a more luxurious life for themselves, and enjoy it forever!
Some people are so selfish, so greedy
To put it bluntly, in reality, some people can beat people to death, or even beat them to death, just because of a quarrel or a small dispute.

What do you think he did it for?
Because he is extremely selfish, he thinks that the whole earth revolves around him, everything must belong to him, and others have to obey him, and if others don’t listen to him or give him things, he will catch them to death beat.

That's pretty much what it means when you say it in Dali.

In fact, the European colonial robbers triggered the world war to compete for interests.

These European colonial robbers believe that all the resources and interests of the whole world must belong to them, and they want to enjoy a luxurious life forever, and they must enjoy it like this for generations to come!

The problem is that the world is so big that it cannot satisfy the appetites of all colonial robbers.

Therefore, some colonial robbers launched a world war and wanted to kill other colonial robbers, so that they would naturally gain more benefits.

That is to say, the essence of the world war is that the colonial bandits compete for each other's interests.

As a result, it was not the aristocrats or capitalists who represented the colonial robbers who suffered heavy casualties.

They just stood behind and waved their hands. The casualties were all civilians.

When the war caused a large number of civilians to starve to death, they still lived a life like a forest of wine and meat every day, and they were very happy.

As for the Second World War, it looks a little different, but the essence is still the same, but the end result is a little different.

At that time, it was actually these colonial robbers who started the war. They didn't want to watch the rise of Soviet Russia and compete with them for their interests. They had to destroy this rising power and ensure that they could enjoy a luxurious life forever.

Therefore, they secretly indulged Spicy Germany to launch a war of aggression.

Colonial robbers such as Britain, the United States and France originally wanted to let Spicy Germany and Soviet Russia fight to the death, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman. That's how the war broke out.

As for the little Japan in the Far East, it is also a thug raised by the beautiful country.

You must know that Little Japan is such a big place, and there are not many strategic materials. If they rely on themselves, they will not be able to manufacture so many weapons and equipment.

So where do their strategic resources come from?

In fact, all the strategic materials such as steel, copper, and rubber needed by Little Japan to build weapons and equipment in the early stage were sold to them by the beautiful country.

In the early days of World War II, the beautiful country was really profitable.

Later, the beautiful country cut off the supply of strategic materials to Little Japan under the condemnation of the whole world.

In the end, the thug they trained got angry and grabbed them and beat them together!

The World War I and World War II that took place in history were actually a struggle of interests between colonial robbers.

As for how many casualties were caused, they didn't care at all. Anyway, it was ordinary people who died, not them.

In fact, in history, a world war almost broke out during this period.

Because the anti-Habsburg alliance has already united to arrest Spain and the Holy Roman Empire in order to snatch the colonies controlled by the Habsburg dynasty.

It's just that in history, Spain committed suicide by organizing the Armada to attack Britain five times in a row, but all of them were wiped out by storms at sea.

Their navy was abolished, and almost all the gold, silver and strategic materials sent by the colonies were snatched by the Netherlands, Britain and France.

The result is that the Habsburg dynasty became poorer and poorer as it fought, and the anti-Habsburg alliance became richer and richer. It could not hold on against the Habsburg dynasty, and directly asked for peace talks, ceding land and paying compensation.

If it weren't for Spain's own death, killing the Armada five times, making it trapped in Europe and unable to get out, then this war will definitely spread to the whole world.

This time is different.

Although the Spanish Armada is gone, the powerful naval fleet of the Ming Empire has arrived.

With its current strength, the anti-Habsburg alliance simply cannot do anything against the Ming Empire and the Habsburg dynasty.

Therefore, they thought of recruiting people into the group, training the Mughal Empire to deal with the Ming Empire, and extending the war directly to the Far East.

This is exactly the same as they trained Spicy Germany to deal with Soviet Russia during World War II.

In this case, once a war breaks out, it will be a world-class war.

Of course, Taichang didn't want to trigger a world war, he just wanted to clean up these colonial robbers in Europe.

He also didn't know that the Anti-Habsburg Alliance had secretly encouraged Ah San to start a fight with him.

At the moment he is still in the dark.

While he was dizzyingly busy in the Governorate of Brazil, the anti-Habsburg alliance had already started to act secretly.

It was only the first step for them to send the Earl of Stratford to encourage Ah San to fight against the Ming Empire.

Immediately afterwards, Britain sent a complete set of technical materials for building steamships to the Netherlands.

It has to be said that the Dutch shipbuilding industry during this period was really developed.

They don't even need to expand the shipyard, because they already have five or six hundred shipyards, large and small.

The big ones imitate the Ming Empire's Dragon Fang warships and armed merchant ships, and the small ones imitate the Ming Empire's Spike warships.

Their shipbuilding technology is not generally powerful.

It will take the British a few years to imitate the Dragon Tooth warship of the Ming Empire and achieve mass production.

They gathered skilled workers with rich experience in shipbuilding and worked overtime for more than a month, and they copied all the Spike warships, armed merchant ships, and Spike warships of the Ming Empire!

As soon as the craftsmen and materials from various countries were in place, they began to frantically build Dragon Fang Warships, Armed Merchant Ships and Spike Warships.

In the waters near the largest shipyard in Amsterdam, the Duke of Richelieu stood on the top deck of the newly built gunboat, feeling the sea breeze blowing in his face, and he couldn't help sighing inwardly: "This steamship is really good, it doesn't need to be used at all. Regardless of the ocean currents and wind direction, just drive directly. No wonder the navy of the Ming Empire is so powerful, sailing warships will only be beaten when encountering such warships!"

He was sighing secretly there, but the Prince of Orange couldn't help but proudly said: "How about it, Your Excellency, how about the warships built by us in the Netherlands?"

Okay, you guys are great, okay?

However, don't be complacent. After the Ming Empire and the Habsburg Dynasty are cleaned up, our craftsmen will also learn your shipbuilding techniques.

At that time, add the iron armor and new artillery we developed, and you just wait to be beaten!
Of course, he would never say that.

He nodded slightly, and pretended to appreciate: "Your shipbuilding technology is really good. It's really right to entrust you to build this steamship."

Prince Orange said more and more proudly: "Of course, when it comes to shipbuilding technology, the Ming Empire is far behind us. They can only build five or six hundred steam ships a year, and we can build one thousand steam ships a year." Two hundred ships, twice as many as them!"

[-] ships need a lot of steam engines.

The Duke of Richelieu couldn't help asking: "What about steam engines, can you build steam engines as fast as you can?"

Prince Orange still proudly said: "Of course there is no problem with this. The UK has already sent over the blueprints of machine tools for making steam engines. As long as we have enough materials, we will not have a problem building [-] steam engines."

Uh, material!

By the way, we have to find a way to get more copper and rubber quickly.

Duke Richelieu's eyes flickered a few times, and then he nodded slightly and said: "There is no problem with the steamship now, we can issue a war mobilization order, start recruiting soldiers, and build weapons and equipment."

Soon, the countries of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance issued a war mobilization order and began to frantically expand their arms and prepare for war.

France is the most ruthless, directly expanding the land and water army to 50.

The United Kingdom and Sweden did not dare to lag behind, and directly expanded their land and water troops to 30.

Although Tsarist Russia, the Ottoman Empire, Denmark and Bohemia are not doing very well, they have also expanded their land and water troops to 20.

The Netherlands can't learn from others, because they don't have many people, but they also expanded their land and water army to [-].

In this way, the combined strength of the eight countries of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance is exactly 200 million.

If you add 100 million of the Mughal Empire, it is 300 million troops!
Moreover, this is only the first wave. Once the war starts, with the casualties of ordinary soldiers, they will definitely recruit more people to supplement them!
