Ninety-one, we are stepping on the threshold of the Great Crossing Era?!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ahem, let's get down to business. Director Ma coughed a few times and ended the introduction of superpower knowledge just now, "...... Well, as you just said, this is the capital of the Aztec Empire, Tenochtitlan, right? I wonder what you've been doing here lately? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In this way, Comrade Wendehei, in his capacity as the prince of the kingdom of Hungshutizgan, signed a treaty with Emperor Montezuma II of the Aztec Empire, which put an end to the antagonism between the two countries and obtained a stronghold, or concession, in the densely populated valley of Mexico, where we could extend our sphere of influence from the inhospitable Pacific coast and use the abundant labor force of the Mexican valley to gather resources. ”

Professor Yang immediately reported, "...... Comrade Cai Rong has always complained that this approach is a bit too weak, believing that with the 7,000 iron and thermal weapons we currently have, we can directly conquer the Aztecs. But I still insist that any unnecessary fighting and casualties, even if we can collect some loot, will not be worth the loss for us! Because it would wipe out the labor force that could have been used for us!

In particular, it should be noted that even according to the speed of time in this shijie, the wormhole connecting the modern space-time will close in four years at most, so the land and hegemony of the other time and space are meaningless to us, and only obtaining resources is the only goal! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You're quite right, Commissar Yang! Any unnecessary battle is worth the loss! We are Chinese who pay attention to harmonious coexistence, not Westerners who can only play a zero-sum game! We can't just think about simple and brutal force solutions, and leave no way for others to survive at all! ”

Director Ma first nodded approvingly, then turned around and severely criticized Cai Rong, "...... Comrade Cai Rong, I hope you can understand that we have never been conquerors, or even colonizers! The land of another time and space is meaningless to us, and the ultimate goal of our crossing the plane is only to import the resources of the other world into modern Shijie as much as possible, so as to improve the unfavorable strategic environment of the motherland's lack of raw materials, nothing more. Instead of being obsessed with the illusory satisfaction of expanding the territory and fighting on the battlefield! This isn't a real-life version of an online strategy game! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Of course, the strategy can be conservative, but the tactics must be bold! In a brand new shijie, it's absolutely not okay to be adventurous! ”

Seeing that Miss Cai Rong's expression was a little sluggish, in order to avoid stifling her enthusiasm, Director Ma hurriedly added, "...... Don't forget, the wormhole that can connect to the other world is not unique to us in China; A person like Comrade Wang Qiu, who can transmit a large number of materials, may not appear in other countries in the future!

In other words, our shijie has stepped on the threshold of the Great Crossing Era! This is both an opportunity and a challenge for us!

Once the Great Crossing Era truly arrives, the Shijie countries will not only have to compete for limited space on the same earth, but will be able to grab unlimited resources from countless other worlds! Of course, there is also the possibility of an invasion from another world.

Next, today's international pattern of Shijie is bound to be reshuffled again! Just like after the discovery of the Americas, which led to the all-round rise of the originally poor and backward Western Europe, the disadvantaged Christian shijie turned defeat into victory and completely overwhelmed the Islamic shijie!

Since we Chinese have been lucky enough to seize the lead of the great changes of the times this time, we must immediately start racing against time! It can no longer be like the Ming Dynasty, which is clearly standing on the threshold of the Age of Discovery, and has the material and human foundation to conquer the whole Shijie, but it is ideologically complacent. It's just that after the seemingly brilliant Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, he dismantled the ships himself, dismissed the sailors, and guarded the one-third of an acre of land in the Central Plains, which not only withdrew from the ranks of global competition in the Age of Discovery, but also made the dawn of Eastern civilization bleak! …,

In order to obtain an ice-free port and open up an outlet to the sea connecting the warm water sea, the Russians did not hesitate to make enemies of the whole Shijie again and again! However, we Chinese have tens of thousands of miles of maritime territory, and how many nationalities and many countries want to get it but can't, but we have closed off the country and given up our right to speak and dominate the sea...... This is a crime against the future and destiny of the country and the nation!

And in the era of the Great Passage, the wormhole connecting the different shijie is equivalent to the mouth of the sea in the Age of Discovery. We, the time travelers, are the Magellan and Columbus of the new era! Comrades, the threshold of the new era is at your feet! The brilliant future depends on you to open up! ”

Speaking of this, Director Ma's face suddenly flashed with a strange look, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and wave his fist, and his voice was even more sonorous and powerful, "...... Please keep in mind that once is enough, once is enough! From 500 years ago to the present, we Chinese have missed the Age of Discovery, missed the Great Colonial Era, and now we can no longer miss the Great Crossing Era! ”

Hearing that these people are just engaged in a second career to make some extra money, and it actually has a lofty significance related to the future and destiny of the country and the nation, Wang Qiu, Cai Rong and Ma Tong are all a little stunned - maybe because their consciousness is not high enough, they haven't thought of this layer at all!

However, after learning that their career has such great historical significance, the temporary workers of the city management suddenly felt that they had more energy in their bodies, as if it was not a problem to overthrow the Spaniards and the Aztec Empire in one go, and the next moment they could drive all the intelligent lives of this shijie into the black coal kilns and black mine caves, collect resources for the construction of New China, and work day and night as cattle and horses until they died at work.

Of course, delusions are delusions after all, and Zuihou still has to return to reality.

As the so-called ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny.

Due to the lack of sufficient adventurous spirit and the fact that they did not dare to gamble with fate, Wang Qiu and their group of temporary workers were actually quite conservative in their strategy.

This is also the main reason why they could not become Magellan and Columbus for the time being, despite their superior material conditions.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

After Director Ma finished his passionate speech, Professor Yang put on his reading glasses and began to describe the next strategic approach.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Strictly speaking, neither the Aztecs, nor the Tlaxcala, nor the Spaniards, have any fundamental contradictions or conflicts with us, because we do not seek to occupy this land, we do not fight for their survival, and we bring them many useful goods.

But the mass murder of Mexico by the Spanish conquistadors, and the plagues they brought with them, were bound to drastically reduce the Indian population of Mexico, destroying our sales markets and the labor force that could gather resources for us.

Therefore, at least in the three or four years that the wormhole was unblocked, we must try to thwart the Spanish attempts to conquer Mexico, at least to confine their shili to one or a few treaty ports along the coast, and not to allow them to sweep through Mexico like locusts.

Then, there is the current Mesoamerican hegemon, the Aztec Empire, for which we have to both win over and beat. We really don't want to see the Aztecs, who can mine and cut timber for us and buy modern industrial goods, die in large numbers under the butcher's knife of the Spaniards, but we also don't want the Aztec Empire to remain strong and pose a threat to the kingdom of Hungshutizgan, which is our core base.

Fortunately, the current Aztec Empire is already fragile. Within the country, there are three core member city-states and a number of vassals; Within the three core member city-states, Texcoco City has raised a counter-flag to the capital city of Tenochtitlan; Within the city of Tenochtitlan, there was a class struggle between the military warriors and the noble priests, and all of them reached the stage of a general eruption of contradictions. Like Russia on the eve of the October Revolution, the entire Aztec Empire was on the verge of falling apart, and showed no signs of improvement. …,

Now, with this armed march into the Valley of Mexico, we have put enough deterrence on Emperor Montezuma to keep him from attacking us lightly. As long as you try to push it again, it is estimated that you can turn the Aztec Empire back into three independent city-states that are fighting with each other, just like the collapse of the Soviet Union back then, so as to eliminate the threat of the Aztecs, and not accumulate too much hatred and pay too much sacrifice. It is even possible to make the divided Aztecs respect our leader in the face of absolute strength, and let them be used by me.

Next up are the Tlaxcala, who live in the southeast of the Valley of Mexico, a traditional ally of the Kingdom of Hunsutizgan, the Aztecs' mortal enemies, and a fierce fighting people in Central America second only to the Aztecs. It is basically impossible to get them to give up their century-old blood feud and turn the war with the Aztecs into a jade silk, but it should still be hopeful that they will not start a full-scale war within four years.

After all, it had been almost four years since they had won a decisive victory in the 1515 defensive battle, annihilating tens of thousands of Aztec forces in one fell swoop, but until the arrival of the Spaniards, the Tlaxcalas had not launched a major counterattack to break through the Aztec encirclement. The reasons for this are none other than the destruction of years of war, the excessive number of casualties among the young and middle-aged people in the clan, the emptiness of the treasury, and the serious consumption of wealth.

At present, with the invasion of the Spanish expeditionary force, they have smashed the Aztec blockade and began to expand in all directions, but the soldiers killed in the battle cannot be resurrected instantly, the limited population cannot expand rapidly, and the past predicament has not been completely resolved.

Next, we will lead our army eastward to the territory of the Tlaxcals, on the one hand, to trade with new trade partners, and on the other hand, to reaffirm our alliances, and to persuade the Tlaxcals not to rush for revenge, but to expand their territory in the east, recuperate, and wait until their strength has recovered to a certain extent, and then try to challenge the Aztecs, who had slaughtered the rich and prosperous city of Cholula, and then we handed it over to them as a gift, this fertile land with a radius of hundreds of miles, It should be possible to satisfy the appetites of the Tlaxcalans for the time being. Around the city of Chorula, there are many more hostile tribes that must be swept away, enough for the Tlaxcalans to keep them busy for a while.

As for the next step, once the Aztec Empire disintegrates, the Aztecs will inevitably lose control of the border, which is just convenient for the Tlaxcalas to enclose the territory - persimmons pick soft pinching first, and this ideal must still be understood by them. By the time the soft persimmons were pinched, four years had passed. ”

Professor Yang pointed out the latest hand-drawn map of the distribution of Shili in Mexico in 1519, and introduced the next strategic plan with reason. Director Ma nodded slightly while listening, but then pointed out a very critical issue:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Since you see the Spaniards as the main threat, now you have to put Hona. CortΓ©s, the historical Mexican conquistador who brought him into the capital of the Aztecs, instead of killing him and his poor little expedition in the city of Chorula? So as to nip the disaster in the bud and fix it once and for all...... Don't tell me that just because he's a historical celebrity, you don't dare to do it! ”
