The current world situation is completely different from the history that Emperor Long Yufei is familiar with, because of his appearance and the rise of the Chinese Empire, the entire history has changed beyond recognition! China is no longer a semi-colony at the mercy of the Western powers, and is about to be unified by the efforts of the Chinese Empire, and is about to become the world's top power. Once the Chinese Empire defeated Russia, the European hegemon, in the war, the Chinese Empire's position in the world would be consolidated. The Western world will also face up to the achievements and status of the Chinese Empire!

Although, before that, the Chinese Empire had repeatedly defeated Western powers, even world hegemons such as the British Empire. However, this does not make the Western world truly identify with the Chinese Empire. After all, none of these wars are all-out wars. Many Westerners believe that the Chinese Empire was just lucky enough to defeat the British because of the right time and place. If Britain had not been held back in strength around the world and fought with the Chinese Empire with all its might, the British Empire would have won the final victory.

This time, the war between the Chinese Empire and Russia will be a large-scale war, and the two countries will fight with all their national strength. Moreover, Russia is undoubtedly a very strong country for the Western world, although the overall strength is not as strong as that of Britain. But Russia's military power on land is much stronger. They have the largest standing army and the fiercest cavalry in the world. This time it was a decisive battle on land. Therefore, Russia will undoubtedly have a good chance of winning. Although the current situation of the war is not in Russia's favor. But as the front moved north, and the Chinese Empire no longer had so many advantages, Russia would certainly be able to turn defeat into victory.

The Chinese Empire for the unification of the country. At the same time, for the sake of future hegemony, it had to fight this war with Russia. And the Russians were initially trying to forcibly occupy the territory of northern China, and after the heavy losses, they were for their own face. Therefore, Russia also had to do its best to fight this war with the Chinese Empire! For both the Chinese Empire and Russia, there was no way back.

"What about other countries? Any reaction? Long Yufei asked. For the future war with Russia, Long Yufei has great confidence. Even if this war will not end anytime soon. But he still believes that even if it fights for comprehensive national strength, Russia is definitely not an opponent of the Chinese Empire. The future is dragged down. It will inevitably be Russian. Among other things, in terms of the country's financial strength, the Chinese Empire was much better than Russia. The Russian government has run a series of fiscal deficits for the sake of the government's operation. Already had to borrow from Western countries many times. Compared to the Chinese Empire. As more and more money was invested in industry and commerce, the lives of the broad masses of the people became better and better, and their purchasing power also increased, which made the industry of the Chinese Empire prosperous. The government's financial revenue has also reached new highs, and after the destruction of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the extermination of those Manchu nobles alone is enough to get hundreds of millions of taels of silver, and these funds are enough to support the cost of the war!

"陛xià. Another ally of the Reich, the Prussians, had already made a move. They had declared war on Denmark two months earlier on the Schleswig-Holstein and Rhönburg issues! The Kingdom of Prussia sent 100,000 troops to attack the Kingdom of Denmark. within a month. They had already defeated the main force of the Danish army, and although King Christian VIII of the Kingdom of Denmark still called on the Danes to continue to resist the Prussian attack, according to our estimates, the Kingdom of Denmark could no longer hold on. The Kingdom of Prussia was about to win the war. In addition, Britain and France seem to be actively preparing to mediate the war. Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, said.

Long Yufei nodded: "It seems that our Prussian allies are really good at picking time!" However, against the Kingdom of Denmark, this is just a small test for them. After defeating the Kingdom of Denmark, who should they choose next? ”

Long Yufei's face was full of smiles, and he was still satisfied with the expression of the Kingdom of Prussia. The emergence of a strong and unified German Empire in the middle of Europe was very advantageous for the Chinese Empire. At that time, Europe will be even more chaotic, and the nascent German Empire, surrounded on all sides by powerful enemies, will inevitably look outward for allies. And the Chinese Empire, which had maintained goodwill towards the Kingdom of Prussia from the very beginning, was undoubtedly their best ally. At that time, Europe will be in a mess, and the entire Western world will not be able to talk about uniting to strangle the Chinese Empire. Although it is very unlikely that the Western world will unite to strangle the Chinese Empire, it is a real possibility. Although the Chinese Empire was powerful, it was growing rapidly. But without more than a decade of precipitation, it is absolutely impossible to become an enemy of the entire Western world. Long Yufei hoped that the rise of the German Empire would buy more time for the Chinese Empire. Once the Chinese Empire has completed industrialization and is strong to a certain extent, there is no need to worry about this. At that time, it should not be too difficult for the Chinese Empire to gain world hegemony.

Long Yufei was not surprised by the outcome of the Pudan-Dan War. Compared to the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Denmark was too weak. Denmark, with a total population of only 1.3 million and a fiscal revenue of only 40 million crowns, has only a standing army of a few tens of thousands. Even after the outbreak of the war, the Kingdom of Denmark carried out rapid mobilization and expanded the total strength of the army to more than 100,000, but in terms of soldiers' plain and weaponry and command ideas, the Kingdom of Denmark and the Kingdom of Prussia were not a little bit worse. More importantly, the present Kingdom of Denmark is in its weakest stage in history. The Kingdom of Denmark more than thirty years ago was also a great power, and their territory had Norway in addition to the territory of the current Kingdom of Denmark. The king of the Kingdom of Denmark is also the king of Norway. However, after the collapse of the First French Empire, Denmark's rule over Norway, which had been established with the help of French allies, was inevitably challenged. Sweden, a military power in Northern Europe, declared war on Denmark, and after Denmark's defeat, it lost Norway, further reducing the power of the Kingdom of Denmark. In the face of the powerful Kingdom of Prussia, there was simply no power to fight back.

"Your Majesty, according to our previous plan, after the Prussians had defeated the Kingdom of Denmark, it was time to take action against the Austrian Empire. After all, now the Austrian Empire was the recognized leader of the German Empire. The Kingdom of Prussia could not gain leadership of the Austrian Empire if it could not defeat the Austrian Empire. However, the Austrian Empire was no match for the Kingdom of Denmark, which was still one of the great powers in Europe, and was supported by Russia's allies. It was very difficult for the Kingdom of Prussia to succeed! General Niu Meng, Chief of the General Staff, said.

The current Kingdom of Prussia has a population of more than 20 million, and its industrial strength is second only to Britain in Europe. The Kingdom of Austria, on the other hand, has a population of more than 30 million and is not inferior to the Kingdom of Prussia in military strength. And there is also the support of the Russians. Almost all European countries agreed that the Austrian Empire was the rightful hegemon of the German states under such circumstances. It was almost impossible for the Kingdom of Prussia to want to challenge the Austrian Empire. But history has already begun to change. The time when the Kingdom of Prussia defeated the Austrian Empire will also be greatly advanced.

"That's right, the strength of the Austrian Empire is indeed stronger than that of the Kingdom of Prussia. However, this is only what they have come out of. In fact, the Kingdom of Prussia had a lot of advantages. First, their industrial strength is even stronger, and modern warfare is a fight for comprehensive national strength, of which industrial strength is the most important one. In this respect, the Kingdom of Prussia was firmly ahead of the Austrian Empire. Second, although the Austrian Empire had a larger population, the Austrian Empire had many nationalities, and there were many contradictions among the states, principalities, and princely states that made up the Austrian Empire. The current Emperor of Austria, Ferdinand I, had to devote his energies to sorting out these internal contradictions. Coupled with the reasons of the personal abilities of Franz I, the Austrian Empire was no longer than ever. Thirdly, although the Austrian Empire had the support of Russia, the Russians were now preoccupied with themselves. As long as the Reich can defeat Russia, and if it causes Russia to pay heavy losses, Russia will be powerless to support the Austrian Empire. This was the best opportunity for the Kingdom of Prussia. I am sure that the Prussians will be able to seize this opportunity! Long Yufei said. The historical defeat of the Kingdom of Prussia to the Austrian Empire did not wait until after the Crimean War, because of the Austro-Hungarian Franz. Did Joseph I start the war after he took a wrong stance in the war, which broke the alliance between Austria-Hungary and Russia? Now, the war of the Chinese Empire against Russia could create a similar favorable condition for the Kingdom of Prussia. As long as the Kingdom of Prussia had a good grasp of it, it seemed that it would be impossible to defeat the Austrian Empire and gain the leadership of the German states.

Although the Chinese Empire seemed to be helping the Kingdom of Prussia by doing so, in fact, helping others was helping itself. It was also very advantageous for the Chinese Empire to have a strong German Empire in Europe to contain those powers. At the very least, the Chinese Empire can rest assured of expanding in the rest of the world!

"Your Majesty, it is true that the Kingdom of Prussia may defeat the Austrian Empire. However, if the Kingdom of Prussia wants to unify the German Empire, it has to pass the last hurdle, and that is France! General Niu Meng, Chief of the General Staff, said. (To be continued......)
