The cute president learned about the battle situation in Japan at the first time. He did not expect that in just a few days, the two sides would fight so fiercely, and had fought more than thirty times.

"Xuan Jianzhang sent a telegram. He was not afraid of not beating the Japanese. His only worry was that the fleets of the British and French would provide support to the Japanese from the sea. If there were British, French, or they helped transport Japanese troops to Sasebo and Nagasaki Castleton 6, our army would be attacked from both sides." Princess Katrina Kaif sighed, "There is no powerful navy, and it is restricted everywhere."

The cute president nodded and said, "That's right, there is no way to do it. However, I have asked Zeng Jize to go to Europe to contact and buy warships on the one hand, and find an alliance partner on the other hand."

Princess Katrina Kaif's eyes lit up, "These two things are big things. Originally, the emperor was unwilling to buy warships directly, so why do you have to buy four ironclad ships all at once?"

In the original history, the Qing court began to build the Beiyang Fleet at this time. The cute CEO originally planned to build his own warships based on the exhibition of China's own technology. Now it seems that the cute CEO is still a bit broken.

Technology does not mean that you can catch up, especially in the Navy and Air Force, which have many technologies in the Vietnamese 6th Army.

An ironclad ship represents the highest scientific and technological level in this country.

In later generations, aerospace science and technology represented the highest scientific and technological level of a country and was also a symbol of national strength.

"Buying four ironclad ships is mainly because to ensure self-protection of the sea, there must be a fleet of this size." The cute president said helplessly.

The situation where China purchases warships from Europe is definitely losing to the Qing court at the time, because the Qing court is too weak and will not pose a threat to any powerful powers, and China is different.

This is one of them. On the other hand, the relationship between the Chinese and the British and French is due to the problems of Central Asia and the issue of fighting with the Japanese now. Whoever sells warships to the Chinese is equivalent to making mistakes with the British and French, which is also a big trouble in diplomacy.

China has signed treaties organized by the South Asian contract member states with British, French, American, and several countries doing business in Asia, but the organizational situation is too unreliable. It is a completely commercial treaty, and it is different from alliance.

"It's not easy to deal with, but I believe Zeng Jize has this ability. He is the emperor's father-in-law." Princess Katrina Kaifu smiled sweetly, and there was no intention of being jealous. If Zeng Siping had not been behind Princess Jie, she was the second wife of the cute president, now the cute president would have married Princess Katrina Kaifu and Lee Tae-hee long ago.

"It's not easy to deal with, it's not Zeng Jize's ability, it mainly depends on the attitude of the Germans." The cute president said meaningfully, "This Bismarck is very conservative."

In the late 19th century and early 20th century, under the influence and influence of the unbalanced laws of capitalist economic and political development, imperialist countries launched fierce struggles around the competition for world hegemony and colonies. The contradictions between European powers were complicated, but there were three basic contradictions, namely, the contradiction between France and Germany, the contradiction between Russia and Austria, and the contradiction between Britain and Germany.

The conflict between France and Germany is very sharp.

France, which was defeated in the French-Prussian War, lost its original hegemony in Western Europe and Central Europe. All classes in the country unanimously demanded revenge. In order to prevent France from making a comeback, Germany greatly expanded its arms.

The Russian-Austrian conflict is manifested in the battle for the Balkans.

Over the years, Russia has expanded to the southern Slavs living in the Balkans under the banner of Great Slavism. The Austro-Hungarian Empire, located in Central Europe, was also expanding to the northwest of the Balkans, and was afraid that the Southern Slavs under its rule would be independent from the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Britain came out of its traditional foreign policy and strived to maintain the balance of the European powers. It was neither willing to Germany to be too strong nor to see Russia's power expanding in the Balkans. As the conflict on the colonial issue intensified, the conflict between Britain and Germany began to intensify and gradually became the main contradiction between imperialist countries.

Although Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Italy have not yet formed a "Three Kingdoms Alliance", it will be a matter of time sooner or later based on the information feedback from the intelligence networks of the Chinese Bureau of Statistics on various European stations.

In the original history, in the 1870s and 1880s, Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy established a three-state alliance against Russia and France. In 1879, under the promotion of Bismarck, Germany and Austria signed the "Alliance Treaty", which had a distinct anti-Russian nature. Later, due to Italy's failure in the struggle with France for Tunisia, Bismarck took the opportunity to win over Italy and jointly deal with France. In 1882, Germany, Austria and Italy signed the "Alliance Treaty", and the Three-state Alliance was officially established.

Germany became the core of the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

Therefore, the cute president depends on the attitude of the Germans.

Moreover, because China, Britain and France have too many conflicts of interest in Asia, there is no such conflict of interest with Germany, and only countries like Germany or Austro-Hungary can form alliances.

In original history, in order to deal with the "Three Kingdoms Alliance", France and Russia reached a military agreement in 1892, which stipulated that once France was attacked by Germany or Italy supported by Germany, Russia would attack Germany with all its military power. Once Russia was attacked by Germany or the Austro-Hungarian Empire supported by Germany, France should attack Germany with all its military power.

After the formation of the Russian-French alliance, two major military groups began to confront each other in Europe.

It is also the first step towards the Three Kingdoms Agreement.

As the conflict between Britain and Germany became the main contradiction between imperialism, Britain adjusted its relations with France and Russia, and signed the establishment of the British-French Agreement and the British-Russian Agreement in 1904 and 1907 respectively. In this way, two major European military groups were eventually formed.

The confrontation between these two major military groups in Europe was also the main theme that directly affected World War I and World War II in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The British Empire was the most arrogant among the Western powers and the most powerful. The second "Sun Never Set" in the world reached its peak in the early 19th century, with a population of about 400 million to 500 million, accounting for one-quarter of the world's population at that time. Its territory was about 33.67 million square kilometers, which was one-quarter of the total area of ​​the world's six regions. It was the largest country in history and the largest global colonial empire (referring to the global hegemony of colonial territories on all continents of the world). At that time, the British Empire dominated the world's science and technology, culture, economy and trade, and was proud of the world for more than a century.

The French Republic is one of the Western powers, nicknamed the "Gallic Rooster". He has great ambitions. He once wanted to rule Europe during the Napoleon period. During the Napoleon period, this country once fought against the other 10 powers who were the world's top powers and joined forces. In the end, he defeated the majority. However, he was defeated by the British Empire in the navy and the Russian Empire in the 6th Army (mainly in the cold). He was defeated by France's most brilliant record. The French colonies were second only to Britain.

Tsarist Russia is the hegemon from Eastern Europe, known as the "polar bear". Since the founding of the Russian Empire, any international political issue in Europe cannot be solved without Russian interference.

The Russian Empire was nicknamed "European Gendarmerie". In addition, he was also the savior of Europe. He shattered France's Napoleon's ambition to destroy the great powers and dominate the world alone. In the later period, the Soviet Union was an invincible power!

Although Siberia was defeated by the Chinese army, the country's territory shrank greatly and it also lost control of the Central Asian region, Tsarist Russia's strength was not greatly affected and was still among the top five powers!

Spain is nicknamed "Wild Bulls". Its "Invincible Armada" was once famous all over the world. It was the first country in the world to be called the "Empire of Sun Never Setting". Spain and Portugal were pioneers of European global exploration and colonial expansion. The routes ranged from Spain across the Atlantic Ocean to America, from Mexico across the Pacific Ocean, and through the Philippines to East Asia.

The Spanish conquerors overthrew the Aztec, Inca and Mayan civilizations and claimed the large tracts of North and South America. For a moment, with their experienced navy, the Spanish Empire dominated the ocean; with its terrible and well-trained infantry phalanx, they dominated the European battlefield. The famous French historian called it "the most extraordinary epic in human history."

Portugal was the world's first great power and the "ancestor of the great powers". It controlled most of the sea areas at that time. It expanded its territory to Brazil in the Americas and extended it to what the Westerners called the Spice Islands in the Far East, which is today the Moluca Islands in Indonesia. The span of the span reaches 3/4 of the earth's week.

The Kingdom of Dutch once dominated the world with its most advanced shipbuilding and navigation technology. It is known as the "sea coachman". This country, which is not much bigger than Beijing, and the powerful Spain fought for 80 years, becoming the most powerful colonial empire in the world in the 17th century.

Less than 10 years after its founding, the Netherlands' foreign trade volume accounted for half of the world, and many Dutch merchant ships were rampant in every corner of the world.

The German Empire was nicknamed "Germany Chariot". In the future, the empire that caused the world to shake will cause devastating disasters to human civilization.

This war on a global scale.

From Europe to Asia, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific, 61 countries and regions have successively been involved in the war, with a combat area of ​​220,000 square kilometers. According to incomplete statistics, more than 90,000 casualties in the war, and more than 4 trillion US dollars have been put into operation.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was one of the world's powers and one of the top five in modern Europe. Its strength cannot be underestimated. Because it is good at music and is nicknamed "European Magic Sound", the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, the "Habsburg Family", the ruler of this country, was the famous European family. It was the main origin of World War I. World War I was a world war mainly born in Europe but spread to the whole world. At that time, most countries in the world were involved in this war and were one of the most destructive wars in European history.

The Austrian Empire's most powerful period should be in the era when nationalism was in full swing, when the Habsburgs relied on marriage to rule most of Europe!

The Italian kingdom was called "artist". The origin of the European Renaissance was a colonial empire established by modern Italy. In addition to owning Italy in World War II, this colonial empire also dominated the Mediterranean and other East African colonies such as Eritrea and Ethiopia. The power of this empire reached its peak in 1940. This country is good at diplomacy and likes to trick.

The Kingdom of Belgium can also rank among the current 15 world powers, the colonial empire that emerged after nicknamed "European Red Devils"!

The biggest beneficiary of the Berlin Conference, one of the earliest industrialized countries in Europe, Belgium's coal and smelting industry flourished from 1831 to 187o. At the end of the 19th century, Belgium transitioned from free capitalism to imperialism and participated in the division of Africa.

Since 1876, Belgium has invaded Congolese territory.

The Kingdom of Denmark is nicknamed "Fairy Tale Kingdom". Denmark is the earliest constitutional monarchy in the world. It is one of the overlords of Nordic Europe. It is a brave and warlike power and fairy tale. Denmark's shipping industry and overseas trade are very strong. The merchant fleet ranks second only to Britain and has a considerable fleet. At the end of the 16th century, Denmark established the East India Company and had colonies in the West Indies and Guinea. In 1767, Denmark announced that it would form an "armed neutral alliance" with Russia and Sweden.

The Swedish kingdom was called the "Northern Lion". During the Thirty Years' War, Sweden once conquered about half of the territory of the Holy Roman Empire. Its national strength was quickly promoted to leadership in Europe, largely due to the efforts of King Gustav II and Xiangya Ser Osinstanna. Due to his successful intervention in the Thirty Years' War and the capture of many territories in Russia, Poland and Lithuania, Sweden became the leader of the European Protestant countries.

People in the United States of America call "Uncle Sam". Not long after the founding of the country, they have joined the ranks of world powers and gradually began to expand externally. Their strength is getting stronger. Because they are located in the Americas, they are far away from several other powers.

Now, there is almost only the cute president in the world who will regard the United States as an opponent. At least the great powers outside the Americas will not care too much about the United States.

Apart from the United States, the cute president cares most is Japan.

If Japan had not been the rebirth of the cute president, it would have become the number one overlord in Asia after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. It was the only yellow-sex power in the world. After the Meiji Restoration, it became the unique Asian power. The only Asian country that can compete with Western countries is the only imperialist power in the East. It once defeated the evil god Russian Empire, which is a precedent for the modern Eastern yellow-sex people to defeat Western whites. Later, it challenged the United States of America, which was stronger than its own in World War II.

The last one was the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The 19-year-old Mohammed II succeeded the throne less than two years ago and personally led an army of 80,000 to attack Constantinople. (See the Battle of Constantinople) for 53 days of great battle. Finally, it was conquered on May 29 and moved its capital here. The Eastern Roman Empire was destroyed. After the Eastern Roman Empire was destroyed, the capital was established Constantinople (renamed Istanbul) and regarded himself as the heir of the Roman Empire. Therefore, the emperor regarded himself as the lord of the world and inherited the Roman Empire and Islamic civilization. The Eastern and Western civilizations were thus unified. However, later, from the 19th to the 2nd century, the national strength continued to weaken, and became the "sick man from Europe."

The current Ottoman Turkish Empire is still very powerful, and has added a lot of variables to the situation in Central Asia.

Because of insufficient national strength and insufficient military strength, although the cute president won North Korea, Siberia and Central Asia, they were all very unstable and they were a little unstoppable!

These great powers are not easy to mess with. Including Japan, which has already achieved initial results in the Meiji Restoration, it is definitely not a situation that can be crushed for China, which has just completed unification.

"If Bismarck had foresight and could pay more attention to the world outside Europe, I believe that he would persuade the German Emperor and accept our Chinese. At least, in Asia, we can well involve the British and French people, and are considered the developing countries with the most common interests with them." Princess Katrina Kaif said.

Bismarck was a conservative and upholding the magnificent; but he passed legislation to establish the world's earliest workers' pension, health and medical insurance system, and social insurance. He was a sensational figure on the European political stage in the second half of the 19th century.

The cute president said seriously: "It's a pity that you are not a German court. If you are a German court, I will be relaxed. As long as Germany or Austro-Hungarian Empire is willing to form an alliance with us, even if it is not an alliance, as long as it expresses its willingness to form a strategic partnership, the British and French will be more afraid of us and will not intervene in the war between us and the Japanese!"

"I just don't know if they can form an alliance with us." Princess Katrina Kaif looked at the cute CEO and whispered: "Whether it is Germany or the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they are now among the top powers in the world. They are so far from Asia. Will they look at a country like us that has just been exhibited?"

Princess Katrina Kaif said that China is a country that has just been developed, but she is actually polite. The real situation of China is that it is not known whether Germany has one-third of its technological strength and military strength, let alone compared with a major country like Britain and France.

The capitalist transformation of China was two hundred years later than the old powers!

"Yes, this is exactly what I'm worried about. It's not our turn to pick allies. We can only wait for others to pick us."

Princess Katrina Kaif nodded, "Then, Master, is your choice, Germany or Austro-Hungarian Empire?"

"Australia-Hungarian Empire!" The cute president thought for a while.
Chapter completed!
