It wasn't until he returned to Tianjin Wei that Han Liang knew that another fleet of the Great Zhou Royal Navy was about to be born, and by the end of this year, the Great Zhou Royal Navy would have at least three or more fleets.

Even according to the size of the First Fleet, each fleet has 3,000 people, and those three fleets will cost nearly 10,000 people.

Of course, this 10,000-person navy is a small number for a global hegemon like England, but in East Asia, a navy of 10,000 people has never existed.

When the Great Zhou was about to ask the Fusang Guoxing teacher for his crimes, Europe, far away in the far west, was a different scene.

When the news of the annihilation of the 30,000 Great Zhou troops of the Rus' Eastern Expedition reached Europe, the whole of Europe immediately boiled.

As the second most powerful country in continental Europe, the strength of the Rus' state has never been denied.

Of course, England, the maritime hegemon, is not the first power in Europe, after all, England's army is really a little out of the way.

At least relative to France and Rus', England's army could not be matched.

But it is such a second power in continental Europe that it has lost to the Great Zhou in the far east in a short period of time, which has to be surprising.

Originally, the European powers thought that even if the Rus State was defeated by the Great Zhou, it would not be so badly defeated, and at most it would be a draw.

But the defeat of the Rus Kingdom this time was really too miserable, and after receiving the news of the defeat, the Emperor of the Rus' Kingdom was so shocked that he almost couldn't breathe.

"You can't just leave it at that!" Recovering from the shock, Alexander II, the emperor of the Rus' state, wanted to recruit troops to fight against the Great Zhou again, trying to take revenge, but unexpectedly met with the opposition of all the Rus' nobles.

In the previous war, the Rus' state had already borrowed millions of gold francs from other powers. If the Rus were to go to war against the Great Zhou, the Rus would have to mortgage more mineral resources to satisfy the appetites of the greedy bankers.

However, there are only a few mineral resources that have been explored in the Rus' country, and at least half of them have been mortgaged to the bankers in the Rus' country.

If the Rus continue to mortgage, I am afraid that it will not be long before the mineral resources in the Rus' country will not belong to them.

These nobles have long coveted those mineral resources, and for various reasons, they did not refuse Alexander II to borrow from other powers, and mortgaged a lot of minerals one after another, where are they willing to mortgage these mineral resources now?

After all, more than half of the remaining mineral resources are not in the name of these nobles, but they are the actual owners of those mineral resources.

Even if Alexander II was the emperor of the Rus' kingdom and could touch their cheese, these nobles would not do it.

Moreover, the 30,000 Eastern Crusade army was reduced to ashes overnight, which was terrifying to think about, and they were a little afraid of the combat power of the Great Zhou.

What's more, if the Rus Kingdom once again conquered the Great Zhou, the generals would definitely have to choose from among their nobles, and the nobles who would spare their lives would go when the time came? Or not? This is a big problem.

Moreover, if the war with the Great Zhou was to fail again, it would inevitably affect the prestige of the Rus' state in Europe, but its rule in the outlying regions would be in jeopardy.

Over the years, the Rus' country has been greedy for land, and has expanded a lot of land, but it is not peaceful under the rule. In the event that the Rus Kingdom was defeated by the Great Zhou again, the national strength of the Rus Kingdom would inevitably drop to an unprecedented level.

After all, if you want to go east to conquer the Great Zhou again, the troops to be drawn from other places are no longer a 30,000-strong army, but two or three 30,000-strong troops.

The emptiness of domestic troops will inevitably cause turmoil, not to mention whether the war against the Great Zhou will fail miserably, even if it is victorious, I am afraid that other plundered lands will be transformed into the land of other countries, or become a new country.

Europe was the heart of the Rus' state, so without hesitation, Alexander II was opposed by all the nobles in the country.

Among them, some nobles are motivated by selfish interests, and of course some are motivated by national interests.

Since there can be no war against the Great Zhou again, then it can only be sued for peace.

Now, under the arming of the Great Zhou, the Warats are constantly harassing the settlements of the Rus' State in Western Siberia, and if the Rus' State does not make peace with the Great Zhou, then the whole of Western Siberia will never be at peace.

The Rus State did not establish diplomatic relations with the Great Zhou, and there was no past before, so the Rus State could only transmit news through side channels.

Naturally, as a long-established ally of the Rus' state, the French Empire became the first choice of Alexander II.

Alexander II again ordered his brother-in-law, Foreign Minister Lopunov, to go to Paris to seek help from King Louis XVIII of France.

"What conditions does your country intend to use to make the Great Zhou armistice?" Louis XVIII read Alexander II's letter, frowned, looked at Lopunov and asked.

"The truce of the Rus Empire against the Great Zhou is already regarded as a charity to the Great Zhou, so why do you need to give up conditions?" Lopunov said disappreciatively.

"I'm afraid this matter is a little tricky!" Saying this, Louis XVIII was very unhappy in his heart, this Rus's country thought it was quite beautiful, that is, he was unwilling to give up some conditions, and he wanted to let the Great Zhou cease war, how could there be such a good thing in the world?

As the trade with the Great Zhou lasted for a long time, Louis XVIII's understanding of the Great Zhou became more and more deep.

From the mouths of the merchants and envoys who went to the Great Zhou, Louis XVIII already knew that although the industry of the Great Zhou was very backward, it was rich in land and resources, and the population was large and rich, and it was not at all poor and almost as the Rus' country could compare with the underpants.

Although the industry of the Great Zhou was extremely backward, Louis XVIII did not dare to take the Great Zhou lightly, because Louis XVIII learned from the envoys to the Great Zhou that the Great Zhou had two weapons of great destruction that were extremely easy to make, and he also spent a lot of money to get two samples: grenades and mines.

With these two weapons of mass destruction that have been manufactured, even if the European powers have advanced industries and advanced weapons and equipment, they dare not take Da Zhou lightly.

In addition, not long ago, Louis XVIII also learned from a merchant who had just returned from the Great Zhou that it only took three months for the Great Zhou to build a fleet.

What a terrible thing it was, knowing that it would take at least a year for the French Empire to build a fleet.

Of course, the assembly line operation in the shipyard was kept secret, and the businessman did not find out.

It's just that, in Louis XVIII's opinion, the Great Zhou had a large population, and it must have been the Great Zhou Emperor who called on a lot of people to build a fleet in such a short period of time.

But no matter what means are used, it can be judged that Da Zhou is terrible.

What's even more terrifying is that what kind of power will erupt in the Great Zhou, which has already begun the process of industrialization, which is equivalent to the total population of Europe? Even Louis XVIII did not dare to imagine it......
