readx;?maria. Clementina sorted out her thoughts, although she was in her early eighties, this woman's thinking was still extremely clear, and there was no sign of Alzheimer's Zhu Jishi's mind was also sharp, and he smelled the smell of war now, which meant that war was probably coming. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"World peace is based on cooperation between the Great Chinese Empire and the Roman Empire...... "Maria. Clementina tried to analyze, "The Great Chinese Empire and the Roman Empire are both world empires with vast territories and rich resources, and they are the defenders of world order!" ”

Zhu Jishi nodded in agreement. After the First World War, Greater China was the world leader, and Rome was the second. It stands to reason that the boss should spare no effort to attack the second child to prevent it from becoming bigger, and Zhu Jishi and Xuanwu Emperor Zhu Guoxiong also planned to adopt such a foreign policy for a time. Eventually, however, they reversed course and adopted a policy of cooperation with Rome. Of course, there is the same Franco-friendly thinking at work for decades, but more importantly, Zhu Jishi is very aware of the limited potential of the Roman Empire, and the European countries that were integrated by Napoleon III and Napoleon IV were later known as the European Pig Five, Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland are all here! Such a second child can't be the boss for 10,000 years! So Zhu Jishi didn't bother to cause trouble again.

And the world situation in the next two decades seems to prove this. The Roman Eastern Empire, which led the five European pig kingdoms, developed slowly, and its strength in heavy industry was not only inferior to that of Germany and the United States, but was even overtaken by the Roman Western Empire, led by Mexico, and from 189o onwards, the Roman Eastern Empire produced less steel, coal, and ships than the Western Empire. In fact, if it weren't for the industrial strength of the Western Empire. The position of the second eldest in the Roman Empire has long been lost.

And with Napoleon IV caught up in the quagmire of development brought about by the five European pig countries. His ambition to dominate the world is also fading. In turn, he became a collaborator of the Great Chinese Empire. After all, the Roman Empire itself benefited greatly from the First World War, not only largely restoring the territory of the ancient Roman Empire at its peak, but also taking over all British Africa except Madagascar after the collapse of the British Empire, establishing Roman dominance in Africa. Later, Jujuan pacified South America and restored Rome's absolute dominance in South America, with the exception of New Japan. With such a huge world empire, everyone in France is content, and everyone only wants to live their lives......

But as soon as Mathilde died, the centrifugation of the Roman and Western empires would intensify. This gave Germany, Slavic and the United States the opportunity to join forces to undermine the Western world order. "Maria. "Unless Napoleon IV lets the King of Mexico succeed Caesar." ”

"Napoleon IV seems ready to appoint his son, King of New France, Caesar." Kusumoto Takako Road.

Although she doesn't have much to do with A.S.H., she is very well informed, and the Department of Hidden Science has the right to establish an intelligence network outside the Great China Empire, and collecting information from all aspects, especially science and technology, is the focus of their daily work. In the eyes of the other departments of S.H.I.E.L.D., this Hidden Science Department is actually a department engaged in scientific and technological intelligence and dealing with strange and strange events.

Gao Zi said: "Napoleon IV has ordered that some institutions in the capital of the Western Empire be ready to be relocated to New Orleans after Mathilde's first stroke, including the Western Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Western Imperial University. We ambushed the inside line in both institutions. ”

Maria frowned and said: "This is a sign of moving the capital of the Western Empire to New Orleans, Louis, the king of New France, is already 22 years old this year, and he can barely handle the affairs of the Western Empire." I don't know the attitude of the King of Mexico now, in case he ......"

"Juan may not want to be Caesar, but the Mexican consortium wants to push him out to be Caesar." Zhu Jishi shook his head. laughed, "The so-called Roman Empire has long since become two countries economically. If Juan was interested in running for Caesar's throne, the world would be in chaos. ”

If there was any fatal flaw in the Roman Empire, built by Napoleon III and Mathilde I, it was the existence of "double domestics". Not only France and Italy were treated as natives, but Mexico was also built as if they were the empire's own territory. After the defeat of the United States, a large amount of American capital poured into Mexico, forming a Mexican consortium, which also made Mexico an industrial power, and formed a combination of Mexican industrial countries and other agricultural countries in the Roman Western Empire, and the Western Empire countries actually became Mexican colonies!

"The King of Mexico doesn't jump out so quickly," said Maria, "and he's become more poised over the years." ”

Zhu Jishi shook his head, "But he won't support the Roman Empire like Mathilde...... Without the support of the Kingdom of Mexico, the Roman Empire would not be strong enough to overwhelm Germany and the Slavs, and it may not be long before the Germans and Slavs will attack Austria or something else! ”

According to the peace treaty signed between Germany and Russia after the last World War, large areas of western Ukraine were ceded to Germany, but the German Empire did not want to go to the province of Bessarabia (later Moldova), which borders the Austrian Empire in the southwest of Russian Ukraine, but left it to Russia, which is now the Socialist Republic of Slavic, thus giving the Slavic Union a passage south to the Balkans. At first glance, it is clear that this arrangement was the work of Bismarck, and the purpose was to introduce the Slavic Union into the Balkans and divide the Austrian Empire with Germany...... In short, to make these two countries border.

"Great China and Rome are both well-fed lions, and now they just want to sleep comfortably," Zhu Jishi sighed softly, "while the three countries of America, Germany, and Slavia, although they have different social systems, are all hungry wolves with shriveled bellies, and their eyes are all green...... If it weren't for me and Mathilde, they would have joined forces to expand! Now that Mathilde is gone, how many years do I have left? ”

"The Emperor Taishang has a tough body, and he can live at least 1oo years old!" Takako Kusumoto took over and said.

&nbo years old, it's just to enjoy another world war! Zhu Jishi shook his head slightly, he is 82 years old this year, his health is really good, 1oo years old may be really possible. But he knew that even if he really lived to be 1oo years old, it would be impossible for the world to remain peaceful for another 18 years.

Because the situation in the world today is that two superpowers guarding a lot of rich territory are facing three industrialized powers that are going crazy to poverty. Historically, the situation was almost the same as it was before the First and Second World Wars.

Now that the industrialization of the Anglo-German Republic, the United States of America, and the Slavic Socialist Union has been largely completed, the powerful industrial productive forces urgently need to find overseas markets and raw materials. But there is no "ownerless" land in this world for a long time.

The territory of the Great Chinese Empire and the Roman Empire was so vast that it even surpassed the historical empire on which the sun never set, and almost all the underdeveloped and rich lands in the world were appropriated for themselves.

In this case, the two world empires naturally lost the urge to expand further, and turned their main energies to deal with the indigestion caused by the rapid expansion. The main problem of the Roman Empire was the inability to form a Roman nation and the centrifugation of the Eastern and Western empires, which made Rome large but not strong.

The Great Chinese Empire was large and powerful, industrial, agricultural, and populous enough to crush all the other countries in the world. However, the internal problems of the Great China Empire, especially the Ming Empire, have also reached the point of headaches. And now the internal problem is no longer the national contradiction or the shortage of resources and land, but the class contradiction accumulated after 5o years of rapid development of the capitalist economy!

In short, the benefits of expansion and economic development are appropriated by a few, including the bourgeoisie, the aristocracy, and a part of the commoners who emigrated to the rich lands of the overseas countries. But most of the people of the Ming Dynasty did not get much benefit. This is also the reason why the Ming Socialist Party has become increasingly powerful in recent years and the Daming workers' movement has intensified.

Moreover, the contradictions between the countries of Great China are also accumulating, especially the open and secret struggle between the Ming Empire and the Donghua Kingdom, which has not stopped for more than 20 years. With the increasing population of Donghua and the development and utilization of industrial resources around the Great Lakes in North America, the pace of industrialization of the Donghua Kingdom began to accelerate 1o years ago. Although it is unable to compete with Daming in light industry because of the relatively high labor price, Donghua heavy industry represented by steel, mining, machinery, electric power, and petrochemical industry has developed to a point comparable to Daming heavy industry.

Under these circumstances, it has become very difficult for the Great Chinese Empire to become a united and powerful war machine, as it did more than 20 years ago. On the one hand, the Ming Empire, as the core of Greater China, had no motivation for foreign conquest; On the one hand, the Ming Empire did not want Donghua to become bigger in the next world war, completely annex the United States, or even further annex New France. If it really gets to that point, Donghua will be the master of North and South America.

"Emperor Taishang, do you want to hang up the phone to the Forbidden City and let the emperor come over?" Seeing that Zhu Jishi was silent and did not speak, Takako Kusumoto asked in a low voice.

"No need." Zhu Jishi shook his hand, "It's more than eighty, and there's nothing I can't put down." He smiled at Maria, "Go and call the Emperor, tell him that I plan to travel abroad after New Year's Day, and let him make arrangements." (To be continued......)
