Chapter 1152: European Undercurrent
"This is so wonderful that this time it will never turn over England, lest the hundred-legged worm die without stiffening."
Following Pang Yukun, Zhan Xingchang said in a deep voice.
For the current empire, the only threat in the world is Europe, so when the empire officially declared war on Britain, the entire empire focused its attention on Britain.
Li Kaiyuan is in charge of the imperial economy, he said: "Technology is one of them, if you want to shear sheep, you have to kill the killer financially, occupy the LinkedIn market, order Britain to allow the empire to open banks on its territory, crush the pound, and let the imperial dragon currency become its currency in circulation is the real killer move." β
"Both of these policies are very good, but the old minister thinks that what the empire really wants to manipulate is the British parliament, and let those who are obedient let come to power, and those who are disobedient will be allowed to be in the opposition, and take advantage of the loopholes of the so-called Western democracy, and the empire will do a lot." Fiji groaned.
"Fei Ge Lao's trick is really wonderful."
Xiao Ming couldn't help but smile when he heard this, Britain probably wouldn't have thought that from now on, who would be the prime minister of their country would be decided by the empire.
After a pause, he said: "Before the British surrendered, you compiled these plans, and as soon as the British surrendered, they were implemented. β
"Yes, Your Majesty." The crowd shouted yes.
β¦β¦
Moscow.
Vidomia was walking with Ekalina in the Kremlin garden, when news of the attack on the British port and the blockade of the sea reached Moscow.
Hearing the news, she was so anxious that she had to come here again to ask Ekalina to send troops to Central Asia.
"We, the British, have fulfilled our promises, is Tsarist Russia ready to betray our promises?" Vidomia was unhappy with Ekarina's delay.
With a hint of a smile, Ekarina said: "Vidomia, war is a very serious matter, especially in the face of such a behemoth as the Empire, before I am completely prepared, how can you ask me to send my own soldiers to the battlefield, and when I am equipped with my army on a large scale with rear loading guns, I will definitely give the Eastern Empire a little color." β
Looking in the direction of the Ottoman Empire, she continued: "Furthermore, if we want to drive the Eastern Empire out of our sphere of influence, we must have enough allies, and we are currently communicating with other countries, if more and more countries join our camp, it will be difficult for the Empire to move forward in the future." β
"Hmph, do you expect those cowards to fight the Empire? The Netherlands and Spain are probably scared to pee their pants. Vidomia said in a slightly mocking tone, and she looked at Ekalina with inexplicable eyes.
She found herself seemingly falling for the ploy of the Tsarist empress, and in Europe, Britain had always been the leader, but now the role seemed to have been reversed, and Tsarist Russia became the leader of Europe overnight.
"These countries are not a climate, the main forces in Europe at present are France, Austria, and Prussia, but unfortunately now Henry of France has become a climate, and it will not be long before this person named Henry will become the emperor of France." Ekarina said worriedly.
"This Henry is supported by the Empire, the purpose is to let him disrupt Europe, this Henry is very ambitious, he is afraid that if France is unified, he will realize his dream of unifying Europe." Vidomia had been following the civil war in France and had learned a lot of information.
Ekarina said: "It's just that the Eastern Empire will allow Henry to unify Europe?" In my opinion, the empire just wants to profit from the civil strife in Europe, so the most important problem at the moment if we want to unite Europe is to solve Henry's problem, and as long as France falls to us, I think the rest of Europe will make a choice again. β
"This is not an easy thing to do, this Henry is a tool of the empire to prevent European alliances." Vidomia shook her head slightly.
"Because of this, we must prevent Henry from taking control of France, defeat Henry for a while, and let AndrΓ© regain power, and then AndrΓ© will inevitably stand with us in anger." Ekarina said in a deep voice.
Thinking about it these days, she always felt that it was foolish to let her country fight the Empire alone.
Rather than this, she should take the opportunity to expand her territory in Europe and unite Europe against the Empire.
"It's a good idea, but Tsarist Russia doesn't have a border with France, so how do you get your troops into France." Vidomia said.
Ekarina laughed, "This is up to you, don't forget that your husband is a Prussian prince, and if Prussia refuses to fight the Empire, will it refuse to fight France?" When the time comes, just allow us to pass. β
"Even so, there is a Poland between you." Vidomia said confusedly.
A hint of strangeness flashed in Ekarina's eyes, and she said: "If Poland stops Europe's plans against the Empire, we Tsarist Russia will definitely teach them a hard lesson." β
Vidomia looked wary, she finally understood what Ekarina was thinking, and in the history of Europe, Tsarist Russia had been trying to go south.
But with the help of the European powers, Tsarist Russia not only did not occupy excess territory, but also often suffered losses, and because of this, Tsarist Russia advanced to the Far East.
Now Ekarina apparently realized that the best time had come, Britain was trapped, France was in civil strife, and Prussia was consolidating to acquire the German Federal State.
Under these circumstances, the annexation of Poland by Tsarist Russia was simply a breeze.
But despite understanding Ekarina's plan, Vidomia was helpless, and now Britain could not protect itself, how could it still care about the European continent.
She said: "Now I only care about the interests of Britain, and if you can help Britain, I will go to Prussia to lobby, and of course, if you can share Poland with Prussia, there will be more hope of success." β
Ekarina smiled knowingly, and after the eastward expansion strategy was blocked, she finally saw the hope of Tsarist Russia's expansion, and she said: "Of course, if they wish, they can come to Moscow and sign an agreement to partition Poland." β
Vidomia smiled with a hint of bitterness when she heard this.
For Britain, France, Prussia and Tsarist Russia had always had ambitions to dominate Europe, and this time they were finally able to get their wish to carve up Europe.
However, in his opinion, it would not be smooth sailing for Tsarist Russia and Prussia, because there was another powerful country in Europe, the Austrian Empire.
Austria, she thought, would not sit idly by and watch Poland be divided between Prussia and Tsarist Russia, and that it would be better to divide the waves into three than to divide them into two.
