Chapter 335: The Butterfly Effect

From the first day of the 21st century on the Australian continent, this group of people from the future is destined to change the world of the 17th century.

Even if the traversal does not come out of Australia and buries their heads in silent development, according to the course of history, the Dutch and the British will successively ascend this lonely continent to discover the existence of the traversal, and when that time comes, those items beyond the era will inevitably have a certain impact on the world.

Australia exported weapons to the Zheng family and the Netherlands, etc., and from the current situation, there has been a butterfly effect, and the Zheng family obtained new weapons and resold them to the Houjin and Liaodong border armies, which made it more convenient for the Houjin army to attack the city and plunder the land.

In Europe, because of the emergence of Australian weapons, the soon-to-end Thirty Years' War is likely to continue, and the Habsburg Group, represented by the Holy Roman Empire, relies on the weapons in their hands to suppress the opponent on the border line without turmoil.

These feedbacks that affect the course of world history are telling the Travelers that the world has changed, and the fate of many people has become inferred from history because of the influence of the butterfly.

Therefore, the export of weapons is extremely concerned by the public, especially since Australian weapons have flowed to the Houjin army and have been used in actual combat, which has to make people reflect on whether they are right or wrong.

Judging from the intelligence that Ruan Tiantian fed back to the Australian mainland, Houjin has at least begun to pay attention to Australian weapons, and at this stage they are only buying, and once they can't buy the amount they say they need, it will inevitably cause them to build their own thoughts.

The imitation of the Hongyi cannon is not unheard of in the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Huang Taiji is a very ambitious guy, unlike Nurhachi, he pays more attention to Han craftsmen, and attaches more importance to Han craftsmen than his father.

You can't go wrong with the idea of imitation. So Australia now says that there is still this problem that needs to be considered, although the guys in the military factory have been emphasizing that no one can imitate the 26-pounder gun, but miracles often appear so accidentally, maybe a careless gold will really be made.

At that time, how Australia should deal with such a matter is probably a relatively tricky matter.

Liu Yun, Minister of Homeland Security, analyzed that if Zu Kefa did not buy enough artillery this time, Huang Taiji would inevitably order someone to start copying it, although this is just speculation, but it is not difficult to prove it at all, as long as Feng Zihai is notified to investigate, it can be determined.

"The influence of the butterfly effect is becoming more and more important for the historical process of this time and space. We should stop the Zheng family from collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, otherwise we will have a reason to make them return the weapons they exported. ”

This is a suggestion made by a traverser, but it is obviously not adopted, there is no explicit provision that the weapons exported by commercial activities cannot be resold, and this behavior of the Zheng family is just an act of businessmen for profit, and there is nothing impossible.

If the export of weapons is blocked, then the government will directly subsidize the major gap in research funding for military enterprises, and where will the government have so much money to subsidize this area. Therefore, it is only up to military enterprises to export these obsolete equipment for new ones in exchange for funds.

Although some people oppose it, some people will support it, but one thing is certain: is it true that the Later Jin army is equipped with more and more firearms than in history, and even more powerful. This is by no means good news for Daming.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty, which was suffering from internal and external troubles, had to deal with both the internal peasant uprisings and the Houjin, which had become more and more powerful, which could be said to be very difficult. However, from the analysis of the current situation, although Huang Taiji is ambitious, at least he does not have the ambition to enter the world.

After all, Houjin's population is too thin. It is impossible to rely on the Eight Banners to occupy the entire Ming Dynasty, and even if they do, they may not be able to rule the people of this land. Therefore, the main strategic goal of the Later Jin during this period was to encroach on the plan, to fight down piece by piece, and then to turn these Han people into the fighting force of the Later Jin through policies such as Manchu and Han mixed settlement.

However, it is not excluded that under the influence of the butterfly effect, once Huang Taiji is equipped with Australian artillery, it will launch a bigger war.

As for the Zheng family's affairs, the people did not discuss a specific implementation plan, but at least one thing is certain, that is, the plan for the export of military weapons will not change.

But at the same time, there is a more important problem factor, once two years later, after Jin enters the Central Plains, Australia directly sends troops to intervene, and what it will face will not be a group of Eight Banners soldiers armed with broadswords and spears, but also may encounter the Eight Banners equipped with Australian weapons, whether this will invisibly cause certain bad environmental factors for Australia's future intervention in the war is still difficult to determine, after all, it exists.

Even if Australia makes the Zheng family's resale of weapons public through some methods, it may not be beneficial, and this will only bring the relationship between Australia and the Zheng family to a freezing point, and even new frictions and conflicts may occur.

It is conceivable that once such a thing is made public, the Zheng family will have to bear much pressure from all sides, and once they go off the rails, no one will benefit from the idea of breaking the net with the Australian fish. Therefore, at present, Australia can only treat the Zheng family's resale of weapons as not knowing, and even help it conceal it.

In addition, it is necessary to conduct strict investigation on the number of weapons that have flowed into the hands of Houjin, and conduct strict investigations, and once Australia has a conflict with it, at least know which troops in the hands of the other side have hot weapons.

Judging from this incident, the necessity of inserting intelligence personnel and eyeliner in Houjin, Feng Zihai's task in the future will be greater, and the danger factor he will face will also increase, it can be said that this is the first time that Houjin has asked the Department of Homeland Security to pay more attention to it.

In the past, the establishment of an intelligence agency in Houjin was only for the convenience of selling Australian goods, but the current situation is to find out through investigation how many Australian weapons they have in their hands and fundamentally grasp the other party.

The Australian butterfly keeps waving its wings, and the course of this world history will become more and more confusing, making people more unable to see in which direction it will move forward and develop, but one thing is certain, no matter how they develop and advance, it must be under the influence of the Australian butterfly and the revelation brought by the wave of its wings.

As a leader in the world and a beacon on the way forward, Australia is likely to be such a role for hundreds of years to come. (To be continued......)
