"Truce?" Hong Tiancheng listened to the words that came out of Zhang Juzheng's mouth, and sneered inexplicably.

Since the two sides were at war, Hong Tiancheng had always been a 'royal driver', and the diplomatic envoys of the official route of the anti-Han allies naturally could not enter Hong Tiancheng's camp, so they could only be handed over to Kiev, the nominal capital of the current Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, where it was Zhang Juzheng who remained behind.

However, this kind of major event related to the fortunes of the country, Zhang Juzheng received the armistice agreement of the countries of the anti-Han League, and found that the other party was not fooling himself, and the conditions offered were quite tempting, so he put down all the work in his hand and took the fastest carriage under the escort of the Taiping Army to the camp where Hong Tiancheng was.

Zhang Juzheng understands better than His Majesty Hong Tiancheng, who is only responsible for commanding the war but not in charge of administration, the economic system of the Axis group is on the verge of collapse, and the armistice conditions proposed by the anti-Han allies make Zhang Juzheng see a good opportunity to redeem the collapse!

Zhang Juzheng and Hong Tiancheng stand on different angles, Hong Tiancheng will do whatever it takes to win, while Zhang Juzheng looks at it from the perspective of a normal ruler, whether the war can completely bankrupt the country!

"It's them who want to fight, and it's they who want to stop, how can we be at the mercy of those white-skinned pigs at will?

Since the anti-Han allies wanted an armistice, they must have bitter feelings and did not want to continue fighting, and what they did not want was exactly what we wanted.

This war cannot be stopped! ”

Hong Tiancheng waved his hand and refused.

"Your Majesty the Heavenly King, I hope you think twice, the conditions offered by the anti-Han allies are not bad, not only recognize our substantial occupation of the Italian Peninsula and the Nordic countries, but also be willing to take the initiative to withdraw from the war zone, in this way, the sphere of influence of the Axis group controlled by my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be expanded to two-thirds of the European continent, as long as it takes a few years to consolidate the rule of His Majesty the Heavenly King, we can truly integrate the resources and demographic dividends of these lands!

At that time, the national strength of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will reach the peak of the Roman Empire and become the real overlord of the European continent. ”

"Zhang Juzheng, don't always keep your eyes on the European continent, indeed, if the other countries of the European continent only rely on their own development and recovery, they will indeed be inferior to the Axis group under our command after the armistice, but!

Now the American continent has been controlled by the group of countries in Western Europe, and the whole world is being eaten by Western European countries step by step with the development of the Age of Discovery, and they have channels to lick their wounds, and even as long as the heads of Western European countries are willing, they can recruit the people of the colonies to serve as their cannon fodder soldiers!

In fact, some of them have already done this, but the scale is too small and the transportation cost is high, so they didn't come to fight us.

However, the financial support of the colonies alone has greatly extended the war potential of the countries of the anti-Han alliance! ”

Hong Tiancheng's face was heavy, focusing on the location of the Kingdom of France on the map.

"This is the most developed region on the continent today, much more developed than the newly integrated Kingdom of Great Britain, and if they are given a certain amount of time, it is completely possible to imitate our Mini rifles from ready-made samples.

The French can be equipped with Mini rifles, and other countries of the anti-Han alliance can naturally do it, and when the time comes, once the war starts again, one of our army's major advantages on the battlefield will be completely smoothed out, which is not the gap brought about by a few front-loading howitzers, but a comprehensive innovation of individual weapons!

Zhang Juzheng, do you know how much advantage our soldiers have on the battlefield when they use Mini rifles against the flintlock pistols of anti-Han allied soldiers?

From a distance of 400 to 100 meters, the soldiers of the anti-Han alliance could only watch themselves being slaughtered, and every time they jumped over this distance, their corpses had to be paved with the road of the charge!

Half of the credit for our current 1-5 battle loss ratio is due to the huge advantage in range of individual weapons!

If we do not take advantage of this advantage to carry the war to the end, will it be difficult to restore the opponent to the level of unity with us before starting a war? ”

"Your Majesty, what you said is true, but the countries of the Anti-Han Alliance are far from reaching the limit of their war potential, every week they will have new barracks set up, every month batches of farmers who have completed their initial training will leave the barracks, and the replenishment of new recruits from the anti-Han Allied army on the front line has never been cut off.

Moreover, their finances are still in a state that can be supported for a long time, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, on the other hand, does not have much money to fight......

There is really no money left, the treasury is empty enough to run mice, and now a lot of the army's logistics materials are obtained by robbing the local people, and if this continues, our Taiping army will be reduced to a unit that has been living on robbery. ”

Zhang Ju explained with a desolate face.

"There's no problem with the supply of Minnie's ammunition."

Hong Tiancheng asked rhetorically.

"That's not true, the military factories are the property of the government, and the workers in them are also low-cost slave laborers, and we occupy a lot of raw materials and minerals, and we only need to organize enough labor, and raw materials are not a problem.

Moreover, the firing speed of the Mini rifle is the same as that of the front-loading gun, and the consumption of ammunition on the front line is actually not large, and we have a large number of young and strong prisoners of war who can be used for free, whether it is a mine or an assembly line production worker, there is no shortage, but we are extremely short of food!

After all, the soldiers could not be like machines, they also needed to eat and drink, the harvest of our collective farms had long been overdrawn, and the price of grain in the domestic market, because of the partial restoration of the system of the Holy Treasury, had collapsed. ”

"Zhang Juzheng, what you said is right, we really can't find much food in the Heavenly Kingdom, but what about the newly occupied territory with a large population, how can there be no food in a place with so many populations?"

Hong Tiancheng said in a gloomy tone.

Zhang Juzheng frowned after hearing this, and reminded: "Your Majesty the Heavenly King, if we go too far, it is likely to affect the families of those white people in the security regiment and the Han Association Army, and at that time, these armed white men with weapons in their hands will probably be forced to rebel." ”

"What you said is very reasonable, Zhang Juzheng, so we have to collect the weapons of the Han Association Army and the white soldiers of the Security Regiment before we start, and then destroy them collectively, they have no use on the battlefield, so naturally we need to make some inevitable sacrifices!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to start a race war? Once we do that, even if we defeat the anti-Han alliance, we won't have a few decades to return to the pre-war level......"

Thanks to the terminal phantassimist, a reward of 600 starting coins
