The continent of Europe is in turmoil, as some people envisioned.

Zhao Hongyu, who got this information, was extremely happy.

Yes, there are frequent wars in various countries on the European continent, and no country can stay out of it, which is what Zhao Hongyu hopes to see the most.

And when he heard that the British were being ostracized, he almost laughed out loud.

The British are unlucky Zhao Hongyu likes to see because they are a worst enemy in Zhao Hongyu's subconscious.

The empire on which the sun never sets in history is not easy to get along with.

Notifying a huge colony, plus the entire ocean for more than a hundred years, is definitely not a joke.

It's just that now because of his arrival, this era has experienced the wings of Zhao Hongyu's little butterfly flapping indiscriminately, and now there has been a big deviation.

In its original history, the course of the Thirty Years' War had deviated from its established course.

Spain had collapsed, and the Protestant Union had been given a respite.

The alliance of the vassal states of the church is now about to go to war with Portugal and France.

And the British, who were supposed to be watching from the sidelines to reap the benefits, are now being excluded by all the European countries.

What made the British even more uncomfortable was that both the church and the Protestants made their bottom line clear to the British, that is, the Spaniards or their overseas colonies, but if they were attacked by the British, then they would regard the British as enemies.

The British, who wanted to take advantage of the turmoil on the European continent to seize the colonial interests of European countries, were threatened by everyone after the conspiracy went bankrupt.

This made the British, who were originally full of confidence, panic all at once.

But the facts are in front of us, and their explanations can't be forgiven at all.

Therefore, in the short term, the British are finished.

Now in Britain, they can only hope that over time, the European countries will forget about this unpleasant thing and re-admit Britain.

But God knows how long it will take.

Although I am unwilling. But the British also knew that their original plan could no longer be carried out.

If they insist on going their own way and still carry out a plan to formulate a good plan, then they will definitely be suppressed by the European continent countries.

At that point, the continental nations will be aiming for themselves.

Britain was not so strong that it could deal with an attack from either side.

Therefore, on the British side, they can only watch the interests of the colonies that have become borderlands drool, but they have no way to take them into their own hands.

What an unpleasant feeling it is.

The painful and uncomfortable feeling can only be experienced by the British themselves.

Louis XIII of France had left Marseille and was on his way to the Americas.

Before the arrival of Louis XIII Jr. in the Americas. Information about him has already been delivered to the city of Manhattan.

For the visit of Louis XIII Jr., Zhao Hongyu was not very interested.

He could have guessed what little Louis XIII had come for.

It's nothing more than asking for support, as well as financial and material help.

It would be even better if the Song Empire in the Americas could send troops.

However, this was clearly not in the interests of the Song Empire.

Now the Song Empire already has an American Volunteer Army to help France deal with the Holy Roman Empire.

If you want the Song Empire to continue to increase its troops, that is a very inappropriate thing.

However, it is possible to expand financial assistance and material and food assistance.

It's just that. What more mortgage can the French come up with?

At the same time, Zhao Hongyu has now begun to prepare for the matter of going to the East, so when he contacts Louis XIII Jr., Zhao Hongyu is ready to hand it over to Zhang Tie, the highest military and political commander in Manhattan, to deal with.

"Louis XIII Jr. was on his way to America. What do you think about this? ”

After thinking about it in his heart, Zhao Hongyu looked at Zhang Tiedao who was sitting on the sofa on the left side in front of him.

Zhang Tie bowed slightly, and then replied: "Now the situation in Europe has changed abruptly, and it can be said that it is a mess. The entire countries of Eastern and Western Europe are already involved in the war. In the face of the aggressiveness of the Church side, the Portuguese and French must have fought to the end, trying to get them to cede the Spanish territory. This is a very unreliable thing. ”

Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Yes, the land and territory in hand, it is impossible to want Portugal and France to give it away." Whichever country is put on this matter, this answer will be obtained. The church is thinking too simply, and Portuguese law is very unkind to the church in the first place, especially Portugal. ”

He slowly spoke his mind.

"It was the Church that supported the Spaniards and annexed Portugal, an independent country, so how could the Portuguese have a good face towards the Church. In addition, the church on the European continent was too greedy to do things, and it did not oppress the Portuguese people at the beginning, so Portugal, which is now restored, will definitely not follow the advice of the church. ”

"The French, on the other hand, are not very happy with the Church, knowing that after Joan of Arc was betrayed by the Church to the British hundreds of years ago, the French began to have a bad sense of the Church."

Zhao Hongyu still knows a little about this history.

Although this understanding is a little biased, and a lot of his personal speculation and judgment have been added, what he said is not far from ten.

At least, in the current situation, Zhao Hongyu is still very correct in the attitude of Portugal and France towards the church.

From this point of view, it can also be shown that the strength of the church has begun to decline in this era.

It's no longer like it was in the Middle Ages hundreds of years ago.

"Your Highness, there are enough ships launched at the shipyard now, and now it's spring and you can start your voyage to the East, but Louis XIII Jr. is here...... Do you need to make contact with him before leaving? ”

Zhang Tie asked at this time.

Yes, the number of battleship formations that followed Zhao Hongyu to the east was sufficient, and the current season was already spring.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu needs to start his voyage to the East.

It's just that now the French crown prince Louis XIII Jr. is about to come to the Americas, so if Zhao Hongyu wants to meet him, he has to postpone his trip.

Zhao Hongyu shook his head and said to Zhang Tie: "Even if I don't say what little Louis XIII meant, you should guess." He came to the Americas at this time just to see our strength, and to observe our potential and comprehensive national strength, and to ask us to see if we could expand material aid or something, after all, the church is now eyeing us and preparing to start a war with Portugal and France. Portugal and France defeated Spain, occupied Spanish territory, and quickly divided those Spanish lands, and the church would not sit idly by. ”

After listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, Zhang Tie nodded silently.

Zhang Tie is of course very clear about the current situation in Europe and what Portugal and France have to face.

You must know that in Lisbon and the intelligence department of the concession in Marseille, they are not for eating rice.

They had already sent the information they had received back to the American continent on a French merchant ship through their personnel.

"Your Highness is right, the French probably think that they will face the attack of the vassal states of the Church, but because they are not able to do so, it is understandable that they want us to expand the amount of aid. After all, Portugal and France are only two countries, but the strength of the union between the Church and the Habsburg vassal states is not weak. ”

Zhang Tie nodded and said to Zhao Hongyu.

"Although they confronted the Protestant coalition forces in the Netherlands, the Protestant coalition forces now lack stamina and are no longer able to take the initiative to attack the coalition forces of the church vassal states, so as long as the Protestant coalition forces are suppressed in the Netherlands, and the church vassal states form new legions in their respective countries, they will be able to start a war with Portugal and France."

Zhao Hongyu sat there very quietly and listened to Zhang Tie's analysis of the current situation on the European continent to him.

"Fighting on two fronts? This is a taboo for soldiers. ”

Zhao Hongyu said to Zhang Tie puzzled.

Although Zhao Hongyu is a military idiot, he also knows one thing, that is, fighting on two fronts is a very wrong choice.

Historically, any war fought on two fronts did not end well for the initiators.

Now that the alliance of the vassal states of the church has to choose two fronts to fight, don't they know the way?

After listening to Zhao Hongyu's puzzled question, Zhang Tie smiled and said, "It's okay to say that the church is arrogant, but it's okay if they are confident." After all, the comprehensive strength of the alliance of the church vassal states is still very strong, and in addition to the Holy Roman Empire, there are many vassal states in central Europe and Eastern Europe, and even the Poles are part of their camp, which can be described as strong compared to the prevention of the church. ”

Zhang Ti explained to Zhao Hong, and also gave Zhao Hongyu an intuitive understanding.

After all, although Zhao Hongyu knows a little about the history of this era, it is not so accurate.

Zhang Tie can obtain very detailed information through the intelligence department.

"Your Highness, if it weren't for the Portuguese who took out the Spaniards and captured their capital. It is not certain that the Protestant coalition has been defeated by the Church, so it is not impossible to say that Portugal and France saved the Protestant coalition. Therefore, it can also be seen that the strength of the Protestant coalition is very weak, at least much weaker than that of the Church, and it is precisely because of this relationship that the Church does not take the Protestant coalition army into account, so they can free up their hands to launch a two-front battle and prepare to attack Portugal and France. ”

After listening to Zhang Tie's explanation to himself, Zhao Hongyu understood.

It turns out that the Protestant coalition is so weak.

However, Zhao Hongyu immediately felt a little incredible, because if the Protestant coalition was really weak according to Zhang Tie, then how could they fight with the church for thirty years in history?

It doesn't make sense! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
