"World War II?"

Zhuge frowned for a long time and asked in a low voice, "How long do you think you can be stable?" ”

This great army division is also able to pinch and calculate, and of course knows that a world war alone will not solve the big problem of establishing a global order.

Although the previous British Empire was known as the empire on which the sun never sets, she actually couldn't dominate the world's oceans - the hegemon of the Pacific Ocean has always been the Ming Dynasty! The oceans that Britain could dominate, even at its peak, were the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the South Pacific Ocean around Australia. The Ming Dynasty controlled most of the Pacific Ocean, and the Ming Dynasty could rely on the advantage of being far away from Europe in the early days, and in the later period, it could rely on its industrial strength, and it has always had the strength to completely drive Britain out of the Strait of Malacca.

Therefore, there was no global order at that time, but there were two international orders, the Ming Dynasty and the Great Britain.

And the Ming Dynasty defeated Great Britain in the world war - this war called the world war seems a bit watery, but its result is the initial establishment of a global order.

From this point of view, this is a worldwide war!

But the current global order is not solid, and there is still the potential for it to be subverted.

Although the strength of the Ming Empire is strong, it is also very large. But her location is "too remote", far away from Europe, where there are many powerful countries, and not close to the Americas, where "one beauty dominates".

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty needs a long period of hard work, as well as the further development of science and technology, so that it can have reliable bases and allies in the Atlantic, Europe and North America, far from its homeland. Only then can a truly consolidated hegemony be formed.

To truly consolidate world hegemony, the Ming Dynasty needs to be able to quickly and massively throw forces into Europe and the Americas (East Coast) in order to completely defeat the power that attempts to dominate one side.

But at present, the Ming Dynasty has only just begun to establish strongholds, spheres of influence, and circle of friends in the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and their coastal regions. And it takes time for these things to be really done.

Not to mention anything else, it will not take a few years or even ten years to build Guantánamo Bay, Port Heromas, and Texas Bay.

But even if the Atlantic Fleet of the Ming Navy can gain a firm foothold in the Atlantic, it does not mean that the Ming can easily project troops to North America and Europe.

So, whether it's Germany, the United States, France or the Rakshasa...... In the future, there will be a chance to challenge the rule of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao said to Zhuge Weijiu: "Great military division, I think there can be a 20-year truce...... There will be another world war in 20 years. ”

"20 years ......" Zhuge Weijiu laughed, "Daozi, you will only be in your 50s in 20 years, and you can just pay homage to the prime minister, and the Ming and Zhuge families will rely on you." ”

"Don't worry," Zhuge nodded and said, "With me here, no matter who the opponent is, I will win the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Okay, okay......" When Zhuge Weijiu was nodding his head, a staff officer of the Ming Navy walked over quickly, saluted Zhuge Weidao, and then stuffed him with a note, and left in a hurry.

"Daozi, what's wrong?" Zhuge asked for a long time.

Zhuge Weidao unfolded the note and looked at it, and said in a low voice: "It seems that something big has happened in Europe...... Wang Wen received an urgent military report. ”

At this time, Zhuge didn't have the heart to continue watching the coronation for a long time, so he first pretended to cough a few times, then stood up, left his seat, walked out slowly on crutches.

Zhuge Weidao and Zhuge Weixue both got up and stepped forward, one on each side, helping the old man to go out, just like the two filial sons.

The old man Zhuge is old, he is 80 years away, and his body bones don't look very tough, and it is normal for him to feel a little uncomfortable and want to find a quiet place to rest, so no one cares about Zhuge Weidao and Zhuge Weixue, and the two brothers helped the old man leave.

Although one of them is the Admiral of the Atlantic Fleet, the other is the Ambassador to the United Kingdom. It can be described as a powerful figure in the West. But today they are not the protagonists, and they are not even here to watch the ceremony on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, but on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, it is Lin Zexu, the secretary of the Ming Rites Department.

Inside Westminster Abbey, a separate lounge has long been arranged for the Ming dignitaries, which is elegantly decorated and very quiet, and there are guards of the Atlantic Fleet standing guard outside.

When the three Zhuge came over together, Wang Wen, the chief of staff of the Atlantic Fleet, was sitting inside holding a folder and reading - after the main force of the Atlantic Fleet of the Ming Navy was displayed in the English Channel, they were now going to Scapa Bay to live temporarily.

However, Zhuge Weidao and the Admiral of the Atlantic Fleet did not follow him to Scarpa Bay, but stayed in London.

This is not because of how prosperous London is, but because the Atlantic Fleet is now on a diplomatic mission rather than a combat mission.

Gunboat...... It has always been a tool of diplomacy!

Therefore, it is more useful for Zhuge Weidao to stay in London.

However, Zhuge Weidao did not live ashore, but lived on the command ship "Zhongdu Fengyang" with a standard displacement of up to 20,000 tons.

The "Zhongdu Fengyang" is now docked at a military dock on the River Thames in London.

Through the radio station on the "Zhongdu Fengyang", major events in Europe and the Americas will be learned by the staff officers of the fleet admiralty department as soon as possible, and then sent to Wang Wen, chief of staff, as a briefing.

Seeing Wang Wenzheng looking at the documents with his head down, Zhuge Weidao asked, "What's the big deal again?" ”

"Admiral, Grand Armyman." Wang Wen hurriedly got up and saluted the two.

"You're welcome, just say it." Zhuge Weidao said as he helped the army division to sit down.

"I have just received a report from us as the military attaché of Austria," Wang Wen said, "the main army of the Austrians, about 2......00,000 men, fought a decisive battle at Königretz in Bohemia with the Prussian army, which was similar in number!"

As a result, the Austrians held out for only two or three days before being defeated by the Prussian army, which had an overwhelming superiority in firepower!

The Austrians lost at least 60,000 men in this campaign...... The entire battlefield was littered with corpses, and there were dead Austrian officers and soldiers everywhere. And the losses of the Prussians were less than 10 thousand, and it seemed that Austria was going to be finished! ”

The Austrians could not defeat the Prussians, which was expected for a long time...... The mobilization of Prussia was too efficient, and Austria was too scattered, and there was not even a single main nation. Such a country is struggling to do anything.

Therefore, before Austria was fully mobilized, the Prussian army began to violently attack the Austrian Army of the North and the pro-Austrian Prussian state in North Germany.

By the time the Austrians had finished mobilizing, she had lost almost all of North Germany!

Therefore, this time the main battlefield of the Austro-Prussian war is still in Bohemia.

Judging from the current situation, Pru has a huge advantage, and Britain is powerless to interfere......

And France and the Rakshasa Kingdom formed an alliance with Prussia for various reasons......

Therefore, Prussia encountered a situation that was more favorable than the other timeline, and it was completely possible to capture Vienna and even destroy Austria after defeating the Austrian Empire!

Wang Wen asked at this time: "Military Gate, Great Military Division, are we going to interfere?" ”

Zhuge shook his head for Dao and said, "Don't interfere this time." Our top priority right now is India, the second target is the United States, and Europe is only third. So the troubles of Europe, let's talk about it in twenty years! ”
