I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

1862 American Civil War;

The Xiaguan War in 1863, the first Ming-Russian War;

1864 Danish-Prussian War, First Ming-French War, Polish War of Independence (failure), Paraguay War;

In 1865, the Second Ming-French War;

1866 Prussian-Austrian War, Hungarian War of Independence (failed);

The Second Ming-Russian War in 1867;

In 1868, the Franco-Prussian War, the Unification War of Italy, the South Pacific War of Peru + Bolivia VS Chile, and the Southern Crusades of the God-worshiping God in Taiping.

All of the above are wars of a certain scale involving mainstream countries.

Things like the two long wars in the East, or the religious wars in the Pacific Ocean in Haiti are not counted at all.

Even so, wars abound. It can be said that in the past 10 years or so, the entire world has never had a moment of peace.

The major powers are fighting with each other, fighting each other, and fighting each other on every inch of land in the world. The accumulated contradictions have reached a certain ingenious balance and zero point.

It seems to be very stable, but it seems that it may explode or collapse at any time.

From a macro point of view.

The first industrial revolution reached its peak in the mid-to-late 50s.

But this is also the end of the last carnival and inevitable arrival of the steam age.

Beginning in the 60s, with the accumulation of technology and the improvement of productivity, the second industrial revolution broke out on both sides of the Atlantic.

This revolution led to the widespread use of electrical appliances, the use of internal combustion engines, and the development of communications, and mankind entered the "Electrical Age".

And this muddy loach of Ming Dynasty stirred up the era, making all this come more violently.

The military competition between countries continues to accelerate, and the iteration of weapons is faster than in history.

After all, crossing the river by feeling the sauce is completely different from crossing the river by yourself.

In the past 15 years, the world has been in such a dirty and suffocating atmosphere where new and old concepts alternate, technological torrents collide with traditional industries, new bourgeoisie rubs against old aristocracy.

Human values ​​and social attributes are suppressed without limit, becoming puppets one by one, giving birth to the ghost over Europe.

Daming may be the last piece of pure land in this world.

Of course, this piece of pure land is a bit big.

In short, after 15 years of extremely turbulent times, all countries in the world hope to take this opportunity to sit together and conduct consultations that can be talked about regardless of whether they are friendly or not.

Sultan Abdul was the first among them to declare that he would visit in person as a monarch.

Of course, the reason why he wants to come is that another monarch will also secretly attend the Olympic opening ceremony.

That is the German Emperor Wilhelm Frederick Ludwig.

Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig, Abdul Aziz Oglu Maimat, Rambo Zhu.

The three most notorious autocrats, the potential speakers of the Christian world, the Islamic world, and the Chinese world, will conduct a closed-door consultation.

This so-called Secret Meeting of the Three Emperors will determine the world trend in the next ten years.

At least in Abdul's mind, that's how it went.

As a caliph himself, he is juxtaposed with the Emperor Shenluo and the Son of Heaven.

This is also the reason why he did not hesitate to withdraw his support for Yaqub, and killed Yaquba's envoys and Ottoman officials who were in contact with him.

Of course, the Roman emperor here has blond hair and blue eyes, not to mention Rome, not even Vienna; the emperor of China does not have Luoyang and Yanjing;

……

For Zhu Fugui, an alliance with the Sultan and the Kaiser was indeed attractive.

The British feel that there is hope of winning over Ming because they believe that Ming's strategic target is the Russians.

It is very likely that Zhu Fugui wanted to reproduce the achievements of the Mongols back then, and fought against Russia in the Central Asian Plateau, Caucasus and Ural regions.

The British, who have suffered enough in the mountains of Afghanistan, know very well that in those ghost places with nothing but stones and hairs, what a terrifying resource of an empire will be consumed.

Their thinking cannot be completely wrong, but Zhu Fugui is more interested in Canada and the Great Lakes region than the vast area west of the Yenisei River.

One America in the world is enough.

The Dixies of the South sang and danced, built plantations to produce cotton and sugar cane, and hosted Richmond Fashion Week.

When necessary, it is also Daming's bridgehead to stop the black wave.

His Majesty Zhu Fugui believes that Dixie Redneck America is the good America and the real America.

Oil exploration in Ohio, heavy industry development in Chicago and Detroit, polluted the water of the Great Lakes with excessive heavy metals.

There is no need for such a Yankee America to exist in this world.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the Ming Dynasty and the British Empire had no possibility of shaking hands and making peace.

The world is too big to accommodate the crouching dragon and phoenix of the Chinese nation and the Anza nation.

As for the Slavs, they are also strong, but not strong enough.

At least before being injected into their souls by ghosts, these Slavs were not enough to threaten the natural extension of Ming's interests in Central Asia.

Therefore, Zhu Fugui would rather row the Yenisei River with the Russians with a jade axe, but also find an opportunity to completely dismantle the British Empire, the largest country in human history.

Of course, the Yenisei River was almost meaningless. In Zhu Fugui's mind, the natural border between Ming and Russia should be the Ural Mountains.

At present, the Ming Pole Expeditionary Force has planted the Sun and Moon Flag as far as the Tula area, which is far away from the Yenisei River.

But these are details.

Looking at the big place on the map, it is actually a bad place.

In later generations, the Republic of Yakutia is known as the largest provincial division in the world, and it is also known as the second largest yellow country in the world.

About the size of an Indian.

But the total population is only one Beijing Tiantongyuan, only 80 million people.

This place sucks.

It is full of permafrost, which is not easy to develop.

Maozi can't grasp it, it's your rich uncle.

In general, the resistance of the Russians to spit out is not as great as imagined.

As long as Maozi is hurt in Central Asia and the Far East, it is absolutely impossible for them to defend these areas.

In short, in the next period of time, fighting against Russia and playing hide-and-seek with Maozi hunters in Siberia will not be the main direction of Ming's attack.

Launching a decisive assault on the Angsa global colonial system that has been in operation for more than 200 years and whose end seems to be indefinite in the future will be the core content of the second ten-year plan of the Ming Dynasty in the 1870s.

In order to prepare for an all-out war with the British, and even prepare for fighting against Britain, France, Russia, and Yankee, it was indeed time for Ming Dynasty to make some dog-meat friends.

The Chinese emperor, the Roman emperor, and the caliph all had their ambitions brought them together.

At least until the defeat of the common enemy, the Anza nation, this triangular Axis alliance is reliable.

However, this must appease Tang Sangui and Tang Aiqing, who has always worked hard.

In the evening, Zhu Fugui invited Tang Sangui to the Imperial Palace to enjoy steak.

This is the most authentic Wagyu beef raised with organic feed and listened to Noh drama every day. The live body was transported from Japan to the Shinho Imperial Palace, and then slaughtered by the beef god who came with the ship.

Tang Sangui's complexion turned pale when he heard Lao Li beamingly introducing his learning experience with the God of Beef, and the skills he had learned about unarming cattle.

"Sangui, I know you want to be the Messiah of the Jews, but, to be the Messiah, you have to go through a process, and you need to be approved!"

Zhu Fugui picked up a braised bullwhip and put it in his bowl as a sign of intimacy, "Since the organization has decided to let you be the Messiah, you will definitely be the Messiah, don't worry , things will change..."

Zhu Fugui is not painting big cakes for Tang Sangui.

According to the current intelligence research and judgment, as well as the tone revealed by Kaiser Wilhelm and Sultan Abdul respectively, the two countries are likely to have conducted preliminary negotiations in Europe and formed a consensus on the interests of the Balkans.

The core interest of Germany is likely to want to annex Austria and realize the great unification of North and South Germany.

The core interest of the Ottomans was to regain the northwestern part of the Black Sea and Greece, consolidate their control in the Balkans, and bring Egypt back under the direct control of the empire.

More than half a century ago, the French army went on an expedition to Egypt. Napoleon defeated the Egyptian Mamluk army in the Battle of the Pyramids and occupied Cairo.

In order to fight against the French, the Ottoman Empire supported a young man named Ali and asked him to reorganize the army to fight against France.

Ali was indeed a heroic fighter and a far-reaching stratagem, but he was also very ambitious.

After the French left, he annexed the forces of the Mamluks, unified the power of Egypt, and attempted to establish a new Arab empire in the name of jihad.

His Egyptian army once beat the Ottoman chicken to imitate the chicken's trick, the white crane spread its wings.

The shit-stirring stick British once again showed their power, and a set of shit-stirring combination disintegrated Ali's power and made him die in depression.

Egypt returned to the rule of Ottoman in name again, but the governor of Egypt was still hereditary by the descendants of Ali, and the Ottoman Sultan could not directly govern it.

And just when Ali turned Osman upside down, the Greeks also took the opportunity to become independent and established the Kingdom of Greece.

In addition, in the past several Russian-Turkish wars, Ottoman lost a large amount of land in the northern part of the Black Sea, and the Crimea Peninsula was barely kept with the help of Britain and France.

These lost lands are what Abdul hopes to get back.

For this reason, he pinned his hopes on a great war against Britain, France and Russia.

It has to be said that Abdul's plan was perfect.

But Zhu Fugui had no illusions about the fighting power of the Ottomans.

In fact, the reason why Zhu Fugui felt it was necessary to include the Su Ottoman chicken in the Mingde alliance agreement was mainly based on transportation considerations.

Once war breaks out, Germany's northern ports are bound to be blocked.

If you want to deliver supplies to the Germans, you can only detour through the Suez Canal, or simply sail on the Ottoman dry land.

The Suez Canal is currently in British hands.

Taking advantage of the governor of Egypt’s urgent need for money to repay debts and France’s defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, Britain bought 44% of the shares of the Canal Company held by the Governor of Egypt, and entered the board of directors, the highest body of the Canal Company. Control of the Canal Company.

Naturally, this veteran old crap stick is not satisfied with 44% of the stock.

Not long after the British bought Egyptian stocks, they used the pretext of Egypt's financial bankruptcy, and British financiers organized a committee to investigate Egypt's financial situation.

Subsequently, according to the committee's recommendations, the British took over the poorly managed Egyptian ports, mines, and postal system.

Naturally, the Suez Canal is also included in this list.

Therefore, it is very doubtful how much role this canal will play in the war.

The British can sink their ships at any time to cut off their shipping.

Therefore, after research, the Generalissimo's Office believes that sailing on dry land is the right way.

This is also the focus of discussions between Zhu Fugui and the Sudanese representative throughout the afternoon.

That is, the Ming, Germany, and Ottoman countries jointly funded the secret construction of a railway from the northern shore of the Red Sea to the Balkan Peninsula.

In fact, the real trigger for the outbreak of the First World War in history was a similar railway jointly built by the Germans and the Ottomans.

This is the famous Baghdad-Berlin railway project.

Since the names of the main cities at both ends start with the letter B, the plan is also commonly known as the 2B plan.

The 2B plan claims that Germany is inserting a sharp edge into Great Britain's sea power, which makes the United Kingdom feel terrified.

Because there are railways connecting the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, and even the Indian Ocean, this allows the Germans to have an outlet that is not controlled by the British Royal Navy.

This is unacceptable to the British.

And because the British have not yet fully controlled Egypt, Egypt is similar to North Korea before the Sino-Japanese War, and is at a stage where Ottoman's traditional suzerainty has been eroded by the British.

Therefore, the Ming version of the 2B plan does not need to take the Baghdad route, but can take the later Jordanian Aqaba Port.

In this way, Ming's 2B plan will inevitably pass through the Palestine-Israel area.

According to international practice, Daming will get 1/3 of the land within 5 miles on both sides of the railway, which is 8.05 kilometers.

Obviously, the Ottomans would definitely not want Ming to claim land ownership in Asia Minor or the Balkans, and the Western Crescent is an unimportant area.

Before the railway enters the Anatolian highlands, the mileage is about 800 kilometers.

16 kilometers X 800 kilometers = 1.28 square kilometers.

This is already close to the 1947 square kilometers allocated to Israel in the 1.52 United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine.
