The war clouds are thick, the wind and rain are coming, a world-class war is about to start, the core of the Ming Habsburg Alliance, the Ming Empire has sent the second person in the empire, and the generalissimo Zheng Chenggong came to Europe with the three strongest fleets of the Ming Navy and the three elite legions of the army, what about the preparation of the anti-Habsburg Alliance?

The anti-Habsburg alliance was naturally prepared, but in fact, from the moment the Ming Empire forced Tsarist Russia to sign a contract with the anti-Habsburg alliance powers, the anti-Habsburg alliance was ready to be launched.

After the end of the peace talks, the anti-Habsburg alliance powers are very hot, with their strength, in fact, the Ming Empire will not necessarily lose, but most of them are navy, using the navy to fight land wars, and they are also fighting land wars with the invincible Ming Empire, which is purely head water!

If the hard one doesn't work, they can only come to the soft one, and they can only choose to tolerate it for the time being, so as to dispel the idea of the Ming Empire continuing to advance westward by land.

However, forbearance does not mean submission, on the contrary, they are very unconvinced, they have been preparing for so long, and they have endured for so long, but in the end they were still knocked on the head by the Ming Empire, and no one can swallow this breath, so soon, they met in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, to discuss a full-scale counteroffensive.

This time, it is no longer some small minions, but big people in power in various countries.

France came the Prime Minister, the Duke of Richelieu;

England came the Earl of Trafford, the king's favorite;

Sweden came the Prime Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers Kauffitz. Earl of Ulfelt;

Denmark came the Prime Minister Axel. Count of Uxena;

Even Tsarist Prime Minister Rozov came to make soy sauce.

Most of these people have suffered the loss of Richelieu, but in recent years, Richelieu has changed his strategy and proposed the method of division of labor and cooperation, so that the navies of various countries have been amazingly developed, so everyone still listened to Richelieu's advice and prepared to attack with all their strength to catch the Ming Habsburg Union by surprise.

Of course, except for Tsarist Russia, this time Rozov was really killed by Richelieu, and even the position of prime minister was almost not kept, and then let him send troops, it was a dream, and besides, Tsarist Russia can't transfer any troops now, most of their troops have been transferred to the Wushan line, in case the Ming Empire tears up the contract and continues to advance westward, it depends on the situation if they can't be guarded against, in short, they can't be transferred a single soldier.

Why did the anti-Habsburg coalition dare to go all out and go to war with the Daming Habsburg coalition in this situation?

At this time, I have to talk about the naval strength of the anti-Habsburg alliance, Richelieu is worthy of being a great statesman, and he doesn't know how long his brain is, but he actually came up with the internationally popular division of labor and cooperation method in the future, which made the production of super battleships of the anti-Habsburg alliance skyrocket!

During this period, the European continental powers had their own strengths, but it was difficult for a single country to mass-produce steam-powered super-battleships.

Like the Netherlands, the shipbuilding capacity is very strong, even stronger than the Ming Dynasty, but their ability to build steam boilers and artillery is not very strong, not that they have no technology, the main thing is that they have no people, the Netherlands at this time has a total population of only about one million, but there are more than 15,000 ocean-going merchant ships, and countless shipyards, just shipbuilding and business are enough for them to be busy, and there are no people in other industries at all.

Like the United Kingdom, their ability to build steam boilers is the most powerful, and it is okay to cast artillery, but the shipbuilding industry has not yet developed, and super battleships can be built, but they can't build a few ships a year, like docks, waterways, etc., it takes time to build, and shipbuilders also need time to train.

Like France, they have the strongest ability to build artillery, and they can build steam boilers or something, but their shipbuilding industry is very poor, and they can hardly build super battleships.

Like Denmark, they should be second only to the Netherlands in shipbuilding capacity, but the question is that they can neither build steam boilers nor the latest artillery, what is the use of just building the shell of a super battleship.

Not to mention Sweden, they are basically developing an army, the navy is just starting, and they can't build anything, but they are rich in resources, and the iron ore and timber needed to build super battleships are the most abundant in the entire alliance.

It is estimated that in the next few decades, Britain will be the first to develop, because they have no shortage of technology or manpower, and what they lack is only time.

It should be followed by France, because they have a lot of people, and the technology is just lacking, and they can still catch up slowly.

As for Denmark and Sweden, it's basically out of the way, because they haven't mastered steam power yet.

The Netherlands is basically out of play, because their population is too small to afford to hurt.

However, at this time, they can't do their own thing, because the Ming Empire is too strong, if they do their own thing, they will be cleaned up by the Ming Empire one by one sooner or later.

To put it simply, the Netherlands and Denmark were responsible for the manufacture of the hulls, Britain and France were responsible for the steam power systems and artillery, Sweden was responsible for the supply of raw materials, and the countries were valued according to what was provided, and the superbattleships were allocated according to the total value of the goods provided.

In the face of the strong rise of the Ming Empire, all countries had no other way but to accept this way of building blocks, each country provided a part of something, and finally built a super battleship with steam power.

In less than two years, they actually built nearly a thousand super battleships, plus the original Dutch and British steam-powered battleships converted from old sail battleships, the number of super battleships in the entire anti-Habsburg alliance reached a terrifying more than 1,300!

At present, Britain and the Netherlands each have more than 300 super battleships, which is considered the strongest at sea, followed by France, with almost 300 super battleships, Denmark and Sweden are the worst, but the two countries together also have more than 300 super battleships.

The naval strength that the Ming Dynasty showed in front of the great powers was less than a thousand super battleships in total, and Tsarist Russia also found that there were two fleets of nearly 400 super battleships stranded in the Ob River Valley, that is to say, this winter, the total number of super battleships that the Ming could use was only five or six hundred!

Of course, this was not the case, but the anti-Habsburg coalition powers thought so

And Richelieu didn't know where to get a few Ming military books, and asked them to translate them into French, and after studying them carefully, he actually found a seemingly perfect encirclement tactic.

Although it is a toddler in Handan, the tactic of encircling the point to send reinforcements is indeed very suitable for the current situation.

As soon as such an "advanced" tactic was proposed, the great powers were even more impatient, they believed that whether it was Spain and Portugal, or the Ming Empire, they would definitely fall for the plan, and when the time came, they would annihilate the main naval force of the Ming Habsburg Alliance in one fell swoop, and the sea would not be their world!

At this time, the acquisition of maritime supremacy is equivalent to the acquisition of all overseas colonies.

Therefore, the great powers did not hesitate to send troops, and Spain and Portugal did not hesitate to be fooled, and now the fleet of the Ming Empire is also here, and the ambush is waiting there, will Zheng Chenggong be fooled?
