After the peace conference, Britain declared the continuation of the war, and Prussia, after considering the situation, believed that it would be beneficial for them to continue to compete with the increasingly powerful Austrian Empire for supremacy in North Germany, so they joined the British side to continue the war.

With the old characters leaving the game and new ones joining, will the war continue to develop?

It depends on China's attitude, China has really re-signed a formal alliance treaty with Russia, promising to send up to 800,000 troops to help Russia fight, and the first 100,000 troops will enter the Crimean Peninsula through Russian territory to fight the combined forces of Britain and the Ottoman Empire.

As for the Prussian army, the Russians dealt with it themselves. If even Prussia alone could not stop it, Russia would be able to withdraw from the arena of European hegemony.

The Prussian army, with the help of the British Navy, invaded Finland, because the two countries were separated by a Poland, so Prussia had nothing to fear, in the worst case, they just lost some soldiers, so as not to be counterattacked by Russia, Prussia never expected that at this time Poland would fight back, turn the gun and attack Prussia!

In terms of national feelings, Poland had sufficient reasons to attack Prussia, and it can be seen from the name of Poland, the United Kingdom of Poland, that Poland had not given up the Polish territories annexed by Prussia. Because the real settlements of the Poles were basically under Prussian occupation, even Warsaw was Prussian territory. The so-called United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, compared with the historical Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the entire territory of ancient Lithuania was within the territory of ancient Lithuania, and the territory of the ancient Kingdom of Poland was divided and occupied by Prussia and Austria. As a result, the Poles are not even the main ethnic group of the present United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, but they refuse to give up the glorious name of the Polish-Lithuanian union, and it is clear that the Poles have not forgotten their Polish half of the territory.

But the problem is that Poland became independent with the political support of Prussia and Austria, and the purpose of their existence is to block the threat from Russia for Austria and Prussia, and to serve the diplomatic strategy of the British to block Russia's westward advance, but the Poles do not seem to see this.

As a result, under the persuasion of Russia, they counterattacked, and the Poles in Prussia launched an uprising in response, which suddenly made Prussia very passive.

The reason why the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania acted like this, don't think that they are really so united, the desire to restore their homeland weighs on everything, in fact, this country that was pinched together by the Congress of Vienna has been plagued by internal problems all these years, and under the game of various countries, the king of Saxony became the king of Poland and Lithuania. The Kingdom of Saxony sided with Napoleon in the Napoleonic Wars, and Napoleon granted the title of Grand Duke of Warsaw, King of Saxony, and after the defeat, three-fifths of the kingdom was annexed by Prussia as compensation for his continued rule over the nascent Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania.

However, the king from Saxony and the traditional nobility of Poland and Lithuania have always had a fierce power struggle, the king wants to promote the advanced ideas of Europe, the aristocracy wants to maintain the traditional serfdom, the two sides are constantly in confrontation, Poland has basically not changed in recent years, has lagged behind the Napoleonic wars, the general reform of the Central and Western European countries.

Russia can persuade Poland to go west, in fact, it is not a difficult operation, the current Poland and Lithuania are the former Russian Polish lands, when Russia ruled here, there are inextricable links with the local aristocracy, and even many powerful people have gained status because of cooperation with Russia. Some of the nobles came from the Kingdom of Poland and still had their large lands and estates in the Polish territory under Prussian rule. These nobles were easily co-opted against Prussia.

As for the people at the bottom and the middle class, of course, they want the country to be strong, and the patriotic fervor of the Poles is very high and sympathetic. So the Russians instigated the nobles to stage a coup d'état and overthrew the senile Polish king. Then he called on the Poles in the territory of Prussia to revolt, and then told Prussia an ultimatum to return them to the Polish territory, and Prussia was still surprised that the Polish army had already crossed the border.

What happened in the Nordic region caught the British a little off guard, and working with pig-like teammates was always asking for trouble, and the Poles lacked mature political experience, and they died of politics, not of strength. Now this political naivety, whether it will be ruined Poland is not clear, and it does cause problems for Britain.

Britain has a lot of trouble.

After Britain refused to accept China's armed mediation, the Chinese army crossed the border and entered the Crimea region, and China declared war on Britain, which was not a peripheral war far from the British core, but a new form of world war, and the two sides began to fight for it all over the world.

European companies immediately withdrew from Crete, withdrew their fleets and armies to Egypt, and closed the Suez Canal.

Once war was declared, both China and overseas companies were now at war with Britain. The African Company began to recruit mercenaries, and the South African Empire lacked everything, that is, there was no shortage of brave and skilled warriors, and Su Chonga immediately promised to provide 100,000 soldiers, and these black soldiers were transported by the fleet of the African Company to India, across the Indus River, and into British India. At the same time, Su Chong'a also announced that he would fight with the Celestial Empire as a vassal state, and organized an army of 300,000 to attack the British colony of Cape Town.

Another thug, the Manchu Empire, marched into the valley of the Two Rivers, and Daoguang was desperate. But he was worried, because he had already experienced the fighting power of the Ottoman army. The Ottoman army was not yet a Western-style firearms army, and although it was equipped with more than half of the rifles and other weapons, its organizational thinking was still in accordance with the thinking of the cold weapon era, but it was already very close to the firearms era.

Although the Manchu army was organized according to the Russian way, it did not actually break away from the cold weapon mentality, and a large number of officers were sent to study at the military academy in Moscow during the Jiaqing era, after which these officers returned to China and became the backbone of the army, but nothing more. Jiaqing did not establish its own military academy, and the army had been fighting against nomadic tribes, and had no experience in the use of firearms.

The army of the Ottoman Empire, but it has not cut off the battle with the European army, whether it is the Russians or the Austrians, it will not be long before the Ottoman Empire will fight a battle, so the Yenisseri army, known as the Ottoman Janissaries, is almost a pure firearms unit, which is a unit formed after the European military revolution, whether it is training or management mode, it is basically Europeanized, and even the soldiers are drawn from European Christian families, and then after Huihua, they become the most determined Muslim warriors.

But the Yenisseri, like the Ottoman government, had become sluggish, and in the past they were concentrated in barracks, served for life, were not allowed to marry or engage in business, but enjoyed a good salary, were well equipped, disciplined, well-trained, hard-working, and lived a corpional life, which had long suppressed the European armies. But now they have started a commercial handicraft business, and they were not allowed to marry, but now they are not only married and have children, but their positions can be passed on to their sons.

In the past, their soldiers were drawn from white Christian families in Europe, but now everyone can join the army, and their positions can be bought and sold, and they are seriously incapacitated. This military force has been transformed into a political force, constantly interfering in politics. It is no longer a pure army, and combat effectiveness no longer exists.

But this kind of army also made Daoguang break out in a cold sweat, he found that his troops in the same number, may not have done the Ottoman army, and then think about the European army that pressed the Ottoman Empire, and then think about the Chinese army that can defeat the strongest Russian army in the European army, Daoguang suddenly felt that this battle had to be fought if it was not fought, because he did not dare to rashly disobey China, since he agreed to the European company to send troops, he had to fight to the end.

The infantry battle, the logistics of the supply are all off the chain, only the cavalry can be regarded as a face for Daoguang, the steppe cavalry under European training not only does not fall behind the Ottoman Sipahi cavalry, but most of the time it is pressing the Ottoman cavalry to fight.

Since the Ottomans were much more powerful than Daoguang thought, Daoguang had to recruit more soldiers, but fortunately the European companies were reasonable, and they were willing to increase the number of military aid from 100,000 to 300,000. Let Daoguang not exhaust the national strength for the sake of war.

In the case of similar organizational ability and combat experience, the Manchu Empire, which had a larger number of people, gradually gained the upper hand, after all, it had never stopped fighting all these years, and the discipline of the army could still be guaranteed, so they finally seized the two river valleys in a tough confrontation with the Ottoman Empire.

In the competition for India, the African companies gradually fell short, and the black troops they hired were brave and brave, but compared with the Indian native soldiers trained by the British, the discipline was much worse, and after entering India, all kinds of looting and rape incidents continued, which not only greatly affected the image of African companies, but also gradually lost the upper hand.

At a critical time, the African company found that the armor protection regiment led by the rural landlords who were lightly endowed was reliable, and these soldiers were more tenacious in fighting and would not flee on the battlefield.

African companies had to abandon the practice of using black soldiers to dominate India, and began to arm the soldiers of the Indus Valley under their rule, hiring a large number of veterans from China as instructors, and even hiring veterans from France as officers, mercenaries anyway, who did not take the situation very seriously.

At the same time, they actively looked for allies, and at this time, they could not do anything to the British, because the British had already crossed the Indus Valley and advanced to Peshawar, an important town in northwestern India.

The actions of the British finally made India's only independent power unbearable, and Ranjit Singh accepted the pull of the African company and decided to form an alliance with the African company against the British.

At this time, Punjab was no longer what it used to be, and it had entered the most powerful era in its history.
