As the country with the largest number of armies in Europe, the Rus' state has a standing army of more than a million.

How can the weapons and ammunition needed for an army of millions be a small amount?

Even if England will support a batch of weapons and ammunition for the sake of wooing the Rus' country, it will not be able to support the weapons and ammunition of all the armies of the entire Rus' country.

At least for a short time, England will not be able to do that.

The wave of the Industrial Revolution has been set off less than 20 years ago, and even England, the world hegemon, has not yet completed all industrialization, how much national strength can it support another huge ally?

If it is replaced by the Second Industrial Revolution, not to mention the weapons and equipment of a million troops, even the weapons and equipment of two million or three million armies, England can also afford it.

But after all, this is only the beginning of the first industrial revolution.

As for Da Zhou?

Da Zhou is a monster completely, okay?

Many people in Europe are puzzled, why Da Zhou has just started the process of industrialization, and he can provide enough weapons and ammunition for his hundreds of thousands of troops at once?

Europeans who have this kind of thinking, what they don't know is that the original foundation of the Great Zhou is thick, and the Great Zhou has sufficient human resources advantages, which is incomparable to any country in Europe.

What's more, if you count from the second year of Tai'an, the industrialization process of the Great Zhou has actually been pushed forward for seven years.

In the past seven years, a total of 700,000 elite troops have been equipped with modern hot weapons.

This is still the result of Zhang Lingyang's deliberate guidance.

If Zhang Lingyang did not attach so much importance to the production and introduction of military equipment, he was afraid that there were now 200,000 modern military land, which would already be considered good.

Therefore, everything has a cause and an effect.

Let's talk about the Rus' country, as a semi-feudal and semi-capitalist serfdom country, although the Rus' country also promoted industrialization, it is obvious that the industrialization process of the Rus' country was extremely slow, and as long as the Rus' government had money financially, it began to purchase armaments from France for outward expansion, so it led to the result of the sluggish progress of domestic industry.

Without capital investment and policy support, it is strange that the industry of the Rus' country can develop.

In the previous life of Tsarist Russia, in the late stage of World War I, many soldiers on the front line even used guns for two people.

You must know that it was the time of World War I, and the period in which Zhang Lingyang was located, compared with the earth in later generations, the level of industrial and technological development was at most the level of the late eighteenth century, and the industry of the Rus' country was so unbearable, it is conceivable.

It is also because of the above reasons that the weapons and ammunition of the Rus' army had to rely on large-scale purchases from abroad in order to maintain the daily consumption of the army.

It was for these reasons that the French Emperor Louis XVIII wanted to provoke a war between the Rus' kingdom and Austria.

In the event of a war between the Rus' and Austria, Louis XVIII was sure that the Rus' would be the one who would suffer the final defeat.

First, once France cut off the source of weapons for the Rus' country, the Rus' country had to purchase weapons and ammunition from England. But all of a sudden, England simply could not provide enough weapons and ammunition to the Rus' state.

On the contrary, Austria, although the progress of the industrialization process is not very fast, but it is far more than the Rus' country, at least in terms of comprehensive national strength, Austria will surpass the Rus' country, ranking third in Europe.

The second point is that although the army of the Rus' country is strong, its discipline is extremely loose. In this respect, Austria was a little stronger than the Rus' state. Although the Austrian soldiers were inferior to the Rus', their discipline was obviously much better than that of the Rus'.

More importantly, if there was a war between Austria and the Rus' state, Austria could afford to drag it out, but the Rus' country could not afford it.

No money!

In addition, if war broke out between the Rus' state and Austria, France would definitely fully support Austria. On the contrary, it was the new friend of the Rus' country, England, who simply did not have enough energy to support the Rus' country.

Now, although England has drawn the Rus' Kingdom into its arms, Yingglia's main energy now is put on the affairs of Tianzhu.

Although Rus' is a very good ally to England, it is more obvious that Tianzhu is more important to England.

If Tianzhu cannot be recaptured from the hands of Da Zhou, then in the next ten years, England will completely lose its throne as the global hegemon.

Tianzhu is so important to England.

In fact, even if Tianzhu is lost, the British colonies are still the largest in the world. But the other colonies are all combined, and I am afraid that they cannot be compared with Tianzhu.

Tianzhu is the largest raw material exploitation and commodity dumping ground in England.

If you look at it from the perspective of later generations, whether it is North America, Australia, or South Africa, it is actually not inferior to Tianzhu, but in this era, whether it is North America, Australia, or South Africa, it is a barren land that has just been developed for England.

There is also the problem of population, and the population of the other colonies of England is not large, which means that even if there are more resources there, England will not be able to develop them.

Without enough population, the goods produced domestically cannot be dumped.

Therefore, Tianzhu, a region with a large land and abundant people, is so important to England.

Here, the French Emperor Louis XVIII was secretly planning how to provoke a war between the Rus' Kingdom and Austria, and there, after quickly dealing with the bankruptcy of the Royal Bank of England, the English government began to focus all its energy on how to recover Tianzhu......

Three months later, 100,000 British troops had assembled in the Persian Gulf and began their march through Iran to Tianzhu.

In fact, at the beginning, the British army wanted to attack Mumbai, the largest city in Tianzhu, by sea.

But now that the Great Zhou has gathered no less than 200,000 troops in Tianzhu, it is undoubtedly unrealistic for the British army to attack Tianzhu by sea.

The main reason is that if the British army wants to launch a beach-grabbing landing, it will be much more difficult.

Therefore, the British army chose to attack the northwest area of Tianzhu through Iran.

What is the northwest part of Tianzhu? There were endless mountain ranges, large mountains that many British soldiers had never seen.

Launching an attack on such an area will undoubtedly increase the logistical pressure a lot.

What's more, British soldiers are not good at mountain warfare.

On the contrary, on the side of the Great Zhou, as early as a few years ago, Zhang Lingyang had already issued an order to set up a mountain corps in the southwest region, and this corps also came to Tianzhu with Sun Dingzong......
