Chapter 519 Ending——This is a 20-year truce! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
"Second World War?"

Zhuge Weijiu frowned, and asked in a low voice, "How long do you think you can be safe?"

This great strategist is also able to pinch and count. Of course, he knows that a world war alone cannot solve the big problem of establishing a global order.

Although the previous British Empire was known as the empire on which the sun never sets, it actually couldn’t control the oceans of the world—the overlord of the Pacific Ocean has always been Ming!The only oceans Britain could command, even in its heyday, were the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, and the South Pacific around Australia.On the other hand, Ming controlled most of the Pacific Ocean. In the early days, Ming could rely on the advantage of being far away from Europe, and in the later period, relying on its industrial strength, it always had the strength to completely drive Great Britain out of the Straits of Malacca.

So there was not a single global order at that time, but two international orders existed: Ming Dynasty and Great Britain.

And the world war in which Ming defeated Great Britain—it seems a little watery to call this war a world war, but its result was the initial establishment of a global order.

From this point of view, this is a world war!

But the current global order is not solid and may still be subverted.

Although the Ming Empire was powerful, it was also huge.But her location is "too partial", away from Europe, where there are many powerful countries, and not close to America, where "one United States dominates".

Therefore, Ming needs long-term cultivation and further development of science and technology, so that it can have reliable bases and allies in the Atlantic Ocean, Europe and North America far away from its homeland.Only then can a truly consolidated hegemony be formed.

The truly consolidated world hegemony requires that Ming can quickly and massively invest its forces in Europe and the Americas (East Coast), in order to completely defeat the powers that try to dominate one side.

But at present, Ming has just begun to establish strongholds, spheres of influence, and circles of friends in the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean and its coastal areas. It will take time for these things to be done well.

Not to mention anything else, just building bases such as Guantanamo Bay, Hero Harbor, and Dezhou Bay will not be enough for several years or even ten years.

But even if the Atlantic Fleet of the Ming Navy can gain a firm foothold in the Atlantic Ocean, it does not mean that Ming can easily send troops to North America and Europe.
Therefore, whether it is Germany, the United States, France or Rakshasa...there will be opportunities to challenge the rule of the Great Ming Dynasty in the future!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao said to Zhuge Weijiu: "Master, I think there can be a 20-year truce... 20 years later there will be a world war."

"20 years..." Zhuge Weijiu laughed, "Daozi, you will only be in your 20s in 50 years, just in time to pay homage to the prime minister. Daming and Zhuge's family will depend on you."

"Master, don't worry," Zhuge Weidao nodded and said, "With me here, no matter who the opponent is, I, Da Ming, are sure to win!"

"Okay, okay..." When Zhuge Weijiu was nodding his head, a staff officer of the Ming Navy walked over quickly, saluted Zhuge Weidao, handed him a note, and left in a hurry.

"Daozi, what happened?" Zhuge Weijiu asked.

Zhuge Weidao unfolded the note, looked at it, and said in a low voice, "It seems that something serious happened in Europe...Wang Wen received an emergency military report."

Now Zhuge Weijiu was not in the mood to continue watching the coronation ceremony, he pretended to cough a few times, then stood up, left his seat, leaned on a walking stick, and walked out slowly.

Zhuge Weidao and Zhuge Weixue also got up and stepped forward, one on each side, helping the old man to go out, just like two dutiful sons.

Mr. Zhuge is old, he is over 80, and his body is not very strong. It is normal to find a quiet place to rest a little uncomfortable, so no one cares about the two brothers Zhuge Weidao and Zhuge Weixue. Let the old man leave.

Although one of them is the admiral of the Atlantic Fleet and the other is the ambassador to the United Kingdom.It can be described as a person with power over the West.But today they are not the protagonists, and they are not even representing Daming to watch the ceremony. The one representing Daming is Lin Zexu, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites of Daming.

Inside Westminster Abbey, a separate lounge has long been arranged for the distinguished guests of the Ming Dynasty. It is well-decorated and very quiet, and there are guards from the Atlantic Fleet standing guard outside.

When the three Zhuges came together, Wang Wen, the chief of staff of the Atlantic Fleet, was sitting inside holding a folder and looking at it——After the main force of the Atlantic Fleet of the Ming Navy finished showing off in the English Channel, they are all going to Scapa Flow for a while. Living.

However, Zhuge Weidao and the Admiral of the Atlantic Fleet did not follow to Scapa Flow, but stayed in London.

This is not because of how prosperous London is, but because the current Atlantic Fleet is performing a diplomatic mission rather than a combat mission.

Gunboats... have always been a diplomatic tool!

Therefore, it is more useful for Zhuge Weidao, the admiral, to stay in London.

However, Zhuge Weidao did not go ashore to live, but lived on the command ship "Zhongdu Fengyang" with a standard displacement of up to 2 tons.

The "Zhongdu Fengyang" is now docked at a military pier on the River Thames in London.

And through the radio station on the "Zhongdu Fengyang", the major events in Europe and America will be known to the staff of the Fleet Admiral's Department immediately, and then a briefing will be sent to Chief of Staff Wang Wen.

Seeing Wang Wen looking at the documents with his head down, Zhuge Weidao asked, "What happened again?"

"Admiral, Great Military Advisor." Wang Wen hurriedly stood up and saluted the two of them.

"You're welcome, let's talk quickly." Zhuge Weidao said, helping the military master to sit down.

"I just received a report from us as the military attache of Austria..." Wang Wen said, "The main force of the Austrians is about 20 people. In Bohemia, Konigritz and the Prussian army with a similar number launched a decisive battle. !
As a result, the Austrians persisted for only two or three days before being defeated by the Prussian army with an overwhelming firepower advantage!
The Austrians lost at least 6 people in this battle... The entire battlefield was littered with corpses, and dead Austrian soldiers were everywhere.And the Prussians lost less than 1. It seems that Austria is going to be over! "

The Austrians couldn't beat the Prussians, which has long been expected... Prussia's mobilization efficiency is too high, while Austria is too loose, and there is not even a main nation.Such a country is slow to do anything.

Therefore, before Austria was fully mobilized, the Prussian army began to violently beat Austria's Northern Army and the pro-Austrian Prussian state in North Germany.

When the Austrian army finished mobilizing, she had almost lost all of North Germany!

Therefore, the main battlefield of the Prussian-Austro-Prussian War this time is still in Bohemia.

Judging from the current situation, Prue has a huge advantage, and Britain is powerless to interfere...

And France and Rakshasa formed an alliance with Prussia for various reasons...

Therefore, the situation encountered by Prussia is more favorable than that of the other timelines. It is absolutely possible to capture Vienna after defeating the Austrian Empire, and even destroy Austria!

Wang Wen asked at this time: "Junmen, Great Military Division, are we going to interfere?"

Zhuge Weidao shook his head and said, "No interference this time. Our current priority is India, and the second is the United States. Europe only ranks third. So let's talk about the troubles in Europe in 20 years!"
