Chapter 1170: Strategy

"Welcome, welcome, the emperor said, as long as you join the Vienna organization, we will have a friendship forever."

In the face of Rod's enthusiasm, Tang Wenjie said happily.

This time, the empire did not hesitate to spend manpower and material resources to fight this war in Europe, and the effect was finally shown. ’

Small European countries like the Netherlands have always been weak in Europe, so it is the norm to be coerced into the war by powerful countries.

Now that the Reich has formed the Entente, and since then has established a military common defense system, which means that they will have the military power of the Reich as the backing, and they no longer need to look at the faces of the European powers such as Lancy and Prussia.

"Your Majesty will always be so holy." Rhodes sighed, "If Brother Tang is willing, I can sign the Vienna Entente now, how about it?" “

Tang Wenjie was fully authorized to come to Europe this time, and he asked his entourage to take out a contract, signed it himself, and then pushed it to Rhodes.

The two were busy signing the treaty, when there was a commotion outside the door, and someone would report it in a short time.

It turned out that after the Netherlands, envoys from Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Hungary came to see Tang Wenjie.

Hearing this news, Tang Wenjie showed a satisfied smile, he really didn't expect that this battle would have such a far-reaching impact in Europe.

Rhodes signed and stamped the original of the treaty to Tang Wenjie, and he said: "This time Prussia, Austria and Tsarist Russia divided Poland frightened many European countries, and Henry, a careerist, was even more uneasy, so when the empire intervened in the war in Europe, many countries saw hope, and they wanted to maintain the integrity of the country under the protection of the empire." “

Tang Wenjie nodded, the partition of Poland between Tsarist Russia and Prussia does have a bad impact, after all, they can carve up Poland now, and they will carve up other countries in the future.

Putting away the original copy of the treaty with the Netherlands, Tang Wenjie said to Rhodes: "When I sign the treaty with these countries, we are talking about the past." “

Rod understood, he saluted Tang Wenjie and turned to leave.

Seeing off Rhodes, Tang Wenjie received the envoys of Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Hungary in order.

In the afternoon of the same day, he and the envoys of the four countries, the Netherlands and Austria, jointly announced that the six European countries would become members of the Vienna Entente.

After deciding on this event of far-reaching significance to Europe, Tang Wenjie stayed in Vienna for half a month.

Seeing that no other European country came to his door, he embarked on a journey back home.

Forty-three days later, he returned to Dengzhou on a merchant ship, and when he got off the ship, he immediately went to Qingzhou without stopping.

"With the addition of the Empire, there are currently seven Entente powers." Xiao Ming reviewed the signed documents one by one.

This time, he suddenly proposed that the establishment of the Vienna Convention Organization was not a whim, but had a long-term consideration.

After all, it is impossible to destroy the four European powers of Britain, Prussia, France, and Tsarist Russia with the current capabilities of the empire.

Because these four countries together have a population of hundreds of millions, the more they are in the forefront of Europe in terms of military affairs, the more Prussia's mass-produced firing pistols have shown their war potential.

Forcing a war may be able to defeat them, but what he gets is a chaotic land, which requires a lot of military power to maintain the empire, and these four countries have little value to the empire except the market, and the whole of Europe is a resource-poor area, and these four countries are no exception, and Siberia, the only one owned by Tsarist Russia, is now in the hands of the empire.

So considering these factors, Xiao Ming decided to use the contradictions in Europe to pull a group of fighters, and the value of these Entente countries was to provide military support and material supplies to the empire.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there are not many European countries, and now basically half of the countries have joined us." Tang Wenjie said.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, "Spain and Portugal are old colonial empires, and Britain and France are wearing a pair of pants, it seems that it is impossible for them to join the Entente." “

Tang Wenjie said: "According to the information obtained by the lower officials, it seems that the situation is like this, after the defeat of France and Prussia, Portugal, Spain, Britain, France, Prussia and Tsarist Russia quickly entered, it is said that Prussia and Tsarist Russia also shared military technology, and it is rumored that in order to confront the Vienna Entente, these six countries are ready to establish the St. Petersburg Entente Organization, which also involves common military defense. “

"St. Petersburg Entente? Europe is getting more and more interesting these days. Xiao Ming smiled, a familiar scene in history seems to be repeated, is the First World War coming ahead of schedule?

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Ming asked Tang Wenjie to go back, and he picked up the phone and called Wang Xuan, who had returned from the Wa Kingdom.

After briefly explaining the situation in Europe to the king, he said: "The Entente of Vienna has given the empire a strong influence in Europe, and you should take advantage of this opportunity to establish an intelligence organization and keep abreast of the dynamics in Europe." ”

Wang Xuan nodded, and he said, "Doesn't the emperor want to clean up this St. Petersburg Entente now?"

Waving his hand slightly, Xiao Ming said: "This matter is not urgent, at present, the countries that have joined the Entente in Europe are not stable, and they may flee at any time, at this time they forcibly launch a world-class war, they are only afraid that they will escape, after all, they are all small countries, once the empire's support is not timely, it is likely to face destruction, so it is better to let the situation in Europe temporarily stabilize, so that the empire can take the opportunity to improve their war capabilities, and when they are confident in their military strength, they will follow the empire to achieve their own ambitions." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Secondly, use the Entente Empire to establish common interests with the Entente countries, and only then can the Empire control Europe at the least cost. ”

Wang Xuan understood, and he said: "If this is the case, the lower official will personally go to Austria to prepare for the establishment of an intelligence system." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, he asked Wang Xuan to leave, and called Li Kaiyuan over.

This time, Wang Xuan could not do without Li Kaiyuan's help to establish an intelligence system, after all, the faces of Europeans and imperial people could not be hidden, and Wang Xuan could only choose imperial merchants as agents to spy on intelligence.

If this is the case, it is necessary to develop trade with the six countries and to allow merchants to pour into them.

At that time, the Empire people everywhere could be part of the secret guards.

"It's not all of Europe, but there are no watermelons, and sesame seeds are good." After learning that the Entente had completely opened its market to the empire, Li Kaiyuan's excitement was palpable.

Now that the empire's strong industrial capacity has saturated the domestic market, looking for a market is the way out.

Now they have finally ushered in the most potential market outside of the empire.
