March 5th, Beijing Normal University.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Shuo summoned Dichen who had just returned from Europe in the imperial study.
During this trip to Europe, Dichen helped the empire while taking power to distract himself. He established a fragile dialogue mechanism with the six major European dynasties, and finally broke the barrier between them.
The one who responded most positively was the Germanic Dynasty, which had little contact with Great Xia before.
Of course Ouyang Shuo understood the reason. With the start of the North American War, the Silver Hand and the Azure Badge were officially torn apart. The situation of the Silver Hand faction's five dynasties encircling and suppressing the Germanic dynasties has gradually become clear.
This battle that will determine the fate of Europe may break out at any time.
The Germanic dynasty, which was at a disadvantage, naturally hoped to seek new allies. Looking at the world, only the Great Xia had the ability to intervene in the European battlefield.
Facing the demands of the Germanic dynasty, Ouyang Shuo was noncommittal.
Before the azure badge offered a sufficient price, Ouyang Shuo would no doubt intervene in the European battlefield.
"Clean up and go visit the Maple Leaf Dynasty and the Mayan Dynasty." Ouyang Shuo said.
Di Chen was puzzled, "Maple Leaf Dynasty?"
The Maple Leaf Dynasty is facing the invasion of the Dawson Dynasty, and its destruction is only a matter of time. What is the significance of visiting the Maple Leaf Dynasty at this time? Could it be possible to send troops to assist the Maple Leaf Dynasty
"That's right. Tell the Maple Leaf Dynasty that as long as they can afford the price, the flintlock guns and the latest artillery can be sold in Daxia, and the quantity is sufficient." Ouyang Shuo said leisurely.
As hot weapons gradually became the protagonists in the war, the industrial base of the dynasty often became one of the key factors in the struggle on the battlefield.
After all, flintlock guns and artillery, including ammunition, are consumables.
Without a strong industrial base, it is difficult to manufacture a sufficient number of guns and ammunition in a short period of time. The population of the Maple Leaf Dynasty is too small. In this regard, it is obviously inferior to the Dawson Dynasty.
Once the battlefield enters a stalemate, the Maple Leaf Dynasty is likely to be unable to resist due to weak successors.
But Daxia is different.
As one of the earliest dynasties in the world that started industrialization, it has a vast land and resources, and a strong reserve of talents. The production of flintlock guns and artillery has been streamlined.
On the basis of meeting its own needs, Da Xia still has the spare capacity to sell guns and ammunition to the outside world.
Conversely, selling hot weapons to foreign countries can not only make a lot of war money, but also promote the industrialization of a new batch of cities such as Shencheng and Zhenhai, forming a virtuous circle.
It is equivalent to saying that Da Xia is using other people's money to develop his own city, killing two birds with one stone.
Such a situation is somewhat similar to that of the United States during World War II. Because the mainland was far away from the main battlefield, the country was at full strength and increased investment in the military industry, becoming the largest creditor of European countries.
After the war, the United States became the most industrialized country.
Right now, the Great Xia, the land is peaceful, and there are no major enemies around. It is very similar to the United States in history.
This time, Ouyang Shuo will be the big winner behind the world war.
In addition to grand strategic considerations, selling hot weapons to the Maple Leaf Dynasty and the Mayan Dynasty and keeping the Dawson Dynasty trapped in the North American battlefield is also in the interests of Daxia and is conducive to Daxia's global layout.
Di Chen was silent for a long time after listening.
Only then did he realize how big a gap there was between the two in terms of strategic vision.
Some people are natural leaders with lofty vision. It doesn't mean that they are born in a family and received elite education since childhood, so they will definitely be able to reach the top.
Elite education only gives a relatively higher starting point, not an end point.
At this time, Ouyang Shuo had already reached the finish line, looking back, no matter whether he was an elite of aristocratic family or a commoner hero, to Ouyang Shuo, there was actually no difference.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will set off tomorrow and make this happen as soon as possible."
Di Chen completely put away his thoughts of standing shoulder to shoulder with Ouyang Shuo, and began to serve the empire down-to-earth.
Ouyang Shuo just smiled.
…
North America is full of gunpowder, Europe is changing, and the Asian continent is not calm.
Tianzhu District.
Years ago, the Ashoka Dynasty was beaten and retreated in the face of the joint attack of the Maurya Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty due to the loss of troops in the Tubo battlefield.
After winter, the fighting stopped temporarily, giving the Ashoka dynasty a rare respite.
After the beginning of spring, the civil war in Tianzhu resumed.
This time, both the Maurya Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty exerted their full strength, and it must be decided in one battle to completely defeat the Ashoka Dynasty and re-divide the power structure of Tianzhu.
The only thing that is beneficial to the Ashoka Dynasty is that the Ganges Plain, centered on the royal city of Delhi and radiating to the surroundings, is the most fertile land in Tianzhu and the birthplace of the Ganges civilization.
The Ashoka Dynasty, which occupies a convenient location, has a large population density and sufficient food and grass.
This is the biggest hole card that the Ashoka dynasty can fight against the two major dynasties.
Even so, in the absence of other variables, facing the continuous onslaught of the two dynasties, the fall of the Ashoka Dynasty is probably a matter of time.
…
Then there is the Persian Empire.
After the fall of the Mongol Empire, Wo Kuotai fled to Persia with the rest of his troops, and barely survived based on the previously captured Persian city.
Throughout the winter, the Persian Empire seemed indifferent to this.
After the beginning of spring, this silent empire finally showed its minions and sent a large army eastward under the banner of "recovering the lost land", preparing to wipe out the Wokuotai tribe and take back the city captured by Mongolia.
The irony is that when Mongolia went west, it fought under the same banner.
As soon as the news came out, Daxia Honglu Temple immediately sent an envoy to Persia, and said righteously: "The Mongol Empire has surrendered to Daxia, and the cities occupied by Mongolia, whether inside or outside, should be Daxia according to the law. The cities of summer. Therefore, the thirteen cities in Persia are actually the territory of Great Xia.”
"How to deal with the Wokuotai Department is Daxia's internal affairs, and please don't interfere with your country, otherwise, it will be a provocation to Daxia."
As soon as this remark came out, it made it difficult for the Persian Empire.
Let's send troops, they are worried that this will provoke Daxia. If Daxia also intervenes in this battle, Persia may not be able to please him.
Once they have a bad relationship with Daxia, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But if they stopped infantry because of Daxia's warning, not only would it damage the prestige of the Persian Empire, but they would also be unwilling to give up the "fat" they had obtained.
And in the final analysis, these cities belonged to them in the first place, isn't it justified to take them back at this time? In a blink of an eye, it became an interference in Daxia's internal affairs.
The Persian Empire is also very dissatisfied with Daxia's domineering words and deeds, and the voices of the main battle keep coming and going.
Of course, there are also many peacemakers.
If this can be used in exchange for peaceful coexistence with Daxia, it will also be a great temptation for the Persian Empire.
Just when the Persian Empire was vacillating, accidents happened.
