Louis XIV shouted out a word, Wilhelm II and Felipe IV wilted, that is, anyway, the Ming Empire will not be able to hit the central part of the Americas or Africa for a while, and the interests of France will not suffer serious losses, and now the most fatal ones are the Dutch and the Spaniards......

"Alright, don't fight!"

Cromwell rubbed his temples and shouted, "At the beginning, there was a lot of noise, so can we still send troops?" Even if the troops are dispatched, how can the victory of the expedition be guaranteed if everyone's minds are not together? If you want me to say, if Spain and the Netherlands want to keep the original territory of the South Seas, then they must give up the ownership of other territories, in the South Seas, there are also the Malay Peninsula and the Indochina Peninsula, in addition to these, there are also Dongying and Borneo, which is enough for everyone to share, Felipe, William, if you want to regain the territory of the South Seas, you must give up other interests, this is a must! As for how to divide the other interests, it must be according to the number of troops sent and the size of the contribution in the war! ”

"Well, I agreed......"

Wilhelm II said helplessly, after all, the best territory in Nanyang is in the hands of the Dutch, as long as it can be regained, the other original territory is not impossible to give up, anyway, it is not his own.

"Good!"

Cromwell said in a deep voice: "In this case, the Kingdom of England is willing to dispatch fifty main warships, fifty other auxiliary warships, and the total tonnage of the fleet is not less than 80,000 tons, plus 10,000 army elites, and send the commander of the naval fleet, Blake, to personally serve as the commander of the expeditionary force!" ”

Wilhelm II said in a deep voice: "Okay, our Kingdom of the Netherlands is willing to dispatch seventy main warships, sixty other auxiliary warships, the total tonnage of the fleet is also not less than 80,000 tons, and also send 10,000 elite army forces, and the chief of staff of the naval fleet, Tlop, will serve as the commander of the expeditionary force for this expedition." ”

Felipe was really shocked when he heard this, these two must be wealthy......

"Well, our Kingdom of Spain is willing to dispatch fifty main warships, fifty auxiliary warships, the total tonnage of the fleet is not less than 70,000 tons, send 8,000 elite troops, and at the same time appoint the deputy commander of the naval fleet, Ficklo, as the commander of the expeditionary force......"

"I ......"

Louis XIV was dumbfounded, England, the Netherlands and Spain were all naval powers, extremely powerful, but France's naval strength is not so strong now, and there is no way to compare with the other three countries......

"The Kingdom of France is willing to dispatch forty main warships and forty auxiliary warships, with a total tonnage of not less than 50,000 tons, well, we are willing to send 20,000 elite army troops!"

If Louis XIV wants to obtain enough benefits, the combat power sent by Louis XIV must not be much worse than the previous three countries, otherwise, there will be no oil and water......

King Alfonso VI of Portugal shrunk his neck, these masters are all wealthy, our Portuguese country is small and weak, where can we compare with them......

"Alfonso, what about you?"

Louis XIV asked.

Alfonso VI said helplessly: "The Kingdom of Portugal is willing to send twenty main warships, twenty auxiliary warships, well, the total tonnage is not less than 20,000 tons, and send five thousand army elites to fight......"

"Hmmm......"

Cromwell said in a deep voice: "The combined fleet dispatched more than 250 main warships, and more than 250 auxiliary warships, the naval strength should be more than 70,000 people, and the elite army with more than 50,000 people, the total strength of more than 120,000 people, even if we can't occupy the Ming army, then at least on the ocean, we can guarantee that we are invincible, according to William's intelligence, at least we have an eighty percent chance of winning......

"Or ......"

Louis XIV's eyes rolled, and he said in a gloomy voice: "We will double our army to more than 100,000 troops, even if it is not enough to capture the entire Ming Dynasty and occupy half of them, it will not be too much of a problem, anyway, the two or three hundred thousand elite troops of the Ming army cannot all be concentrated in South China, the Ming Empire is vast, with tens of millions of square kilometers of land to defend, and the troops are scattered all over the country, which can just be broken by us!" ”

100,000 Army!

Cromwell smiled bitterly: "Louie, do you really dare to think that 100,000 troops, expedition to the Ming Empire, this war is afraid that it will not end in more than two years, the total strength is more than 150,000, and the money and food we spend will exceed 10 million taels, and besides, you are so sure that you can eat the elite of the Ming Dynasty?" We don't have any strength left in our homeland? Now that Mikhailovich is already in a hurry and is launching an offensive towards the east of Europe, if they hit the West, the remaining army forces will really be able to withstand the attack of the Russian army? ”

Louis XIV's face was stunned, if it was really the Russian army that came over, then it would be a lot of fun, his French kingdom was the first to bear the brunt, it must be the first target of the Russian army's attack, and he transferred thirty or forty thousand elite main forces in one go, if the Russian army really came over, it would really be a dead man......

"However, with 50,000 army troops, it is really difficult to complete the capture of Nanyang and Dongying, right? Even in these places, there are many Ming army forces, even if we defeat the Ming fleet, what about the army? Will we be able to defeat the Ming Army stationed in Nanyang and Dongying? We must expand the army force, the Kingdom of France is willing to give another 10,000 elite troops, and as for the threat of the Russians, we are allies now, aren't we? If the Russians dare to come, it will naturally be the five countries that will jointly respond to the enemy and drive the Russians back to Eastern Europe! Or, negotiate with the Russians that the Russians will not be allowed to cross the western border of Poland during the war we launched to invade the Ming Dynasty! After all, we're also angry with Mihajlovich......"

Louis XIV said in a deep voice.

Cromwell and Wilhelm II glanced at each other, what Louis XIV said was not unreasonable, Nanyang and Dongying, the garrison of the Ming Empire will definitely not be less, anyway, they have people, and they may arm a huge military force at any time!

The final result of the discussion came out, and the Western countries dispatched 250 main warships, 250 auxiliary warships, 70,000 navies, 70,000 armies, a total of 140,000 troops, to expedition to the Ming Empire.

With 500 warships and more than 140,000 naval and land troops, it can be said that this is a major war that Western countries have never experienced! There has never been a war with such a large number of troops, and there has never been, even a war of this magnitude, which has exceeded 35,000 artillery pieces alone, and has been prepared to run to millions of rounds!
