Chapter 1302: An Olive Branch from Germany

Everything that happened here overturned Heiyu's impression of outsiders.

First, these Longyan people did not carry out slaughter or plunder against the indigenous people.

Second, these people were actually building this place as if it were their own home.

Third, they were eager to reach a friendly trade relationship with the indigenous people.

When Heiyu was in contact with these Longyan people, he did not inform them of the location of his own tribesmen.

It was just because he wanted a little more time to watch.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this kind of situation...

These Longyan people did not care about Heiyu's skepticism at all; you observe yours, we do ours.

Just like that.

In just one month, a small village appeared here.

Stupefied.

Dumbfounded.

Heiyu was completely stunned.

What kind of infrastructure capability was this?

While Tsarist Russia was mired in chaos, in reality, the whole of Europe also became unsettled.

Tsarist Russia, in their view, was once such a powerful country, a country that once possessed so much glory. When Peter the Great had given the European powers a hard time, in their eyes, these Slavic Barbarians were truly unbeatable.

But now...

They had actually lost to the Longyan people!

Longyan, this mysterious country from the East, what kind of existence was it exactly?

It was not just Britain, which was already at war with Longyan, and France, which was eyeing things covetously in Suez.

Another powerful country in Europe, Prussia, was also closely watching the movements from the East at this time.

At a time when Peter the Great was sweeping the globe, when Britain was beginning to rise through the Industrial Revolution, and when the traditional power France was beginning to decline, no one noticed that in Europe, the country of Prussia was already quietly rising.

Liu Zheng once said that he was grateful to have transmigrated to this era, because this era had too many powerful opponents.

And the king of Prussia at this time was also a figure of great renown in history.

He was Frederick II.

Known as Frederick the Great, it is well known that anyone called "the Great" is someone who achieved proud accomplishments during their lifetime. Frederick was also a fellow who was skilled in both civil and military affairs. This fellow had been obsessed with art since he was a child, and was even a well-known composer in history.

Born in Berlin, Frederick received the cultural influence of France from a young age. People had always thought that if he took the throne, he would certainly be a monarch inclined toward weakness, but they did not expect that he would also have astonishing talent in military affairs.

Having just taken the throne, Frederick launched two Silesian Wars and successfully seized this land. In these two wars, Frederick personally led the army, displaying his own military talent to the fullest.

In the next ten years, Silesia, this textile industry center, became the most prosperous place in Prussia. During these ten years, Prussia also achieved substantial development. The economy developed rapidly, and Frederick also strengthened his military, because he remained ambitious.

Recently.

What gave Frederick a premonition that Europe was about to fall into chaos was, first, the defeat of the powerful Tsarist Russia, and second, that he had just concluded the Whitehall Treaty with Britain, to use force to "deal with any country that violates the territorial integrity of Germany." Who would have thought that as soon as this treaty was issued, France would not be able to sit still.

The feud between France and Britain had lasted for hundreds of years.

The competition between the two countries for colonies had also been going on for so long.

And you, Prussia, suddenly stood on Britain's side?

Thus, a diplomatic crisis surrounding Prussia emerged just like that.

France was one aspect. The other aspect was the Austria Duchy, which had been bullied quite badly by Prussia in Silesia; the Grand Duke of the Austria Duchy at this time was...

A woman named Theresia.

Frederick naturally knew that this woman was not simple.

Second, it was that Tsarist Russia had lost...

Previously, the relationship between Prussia and Tsarist Russia was still quite good.

But with Menshikov taking power, that was no longer certain.

Menshikov, as well as Peter II, were both relatively friendly with Austria in terms of diplomacy. If they were won over by Austria, then Prussia would have a bit of a headache.

Frederick was certainly not afraid of fighting.

But he did not fight wars where there was no profit to be gained.

Austria wanted to take Silesia back; he did not want to fight this war, and regardless, it looked like he would be the one at a disadvantage.

What to do?

Frederick stood up and paced back and forth.

Take the initiative to attack?

Frederick thought about it over and over, and it seemed there was only this one method.

Facing one's enemies, there was only one path.

That was to beat them until they hurt, beat them until they were afraid!

But...

How to fight?

Could he win?

Longyan...

He suddenly thought of that mysterious country.

Longyan.

The recent tug-of-war of the Longyan army in Suez, and on various battlefields with Britain and France, was still fresh in his memory. Frederick also understood quite a bit.

But even so, the Longyan army had not suffered any losses.

This time, they defeated Tsarist Russia again.

Moreover, they have a deep relationship with the Ottoman...

Frederick took a deep breath.

This Longyan is not simple.

For thousands of years, Europe has been fighting back and forth, over and over, with the same few countries; it is getting a bit tiresome... The rise of Tsarist Russia some years ago could be considered as injecting some fresh blood into Europe.

Then what about the Longyan of today?

Frederick could not help but let a cold sneer appear at the corner of his mouth.

Since Britain and France both do not want to let Longyan enter Europe, then I will just have to play with these Longyan people...

Thinking this, he took out paper and pen.

First, he wrote a letter to his sweetheart, Sophia, and sent her a piece of music he had recently composed. Only then did he cautiously write a letter to the Ottoman ruler, Hamid.

Frederick's idea was very simple.

Although the Ottoman had already declined significantly by this time.

But at least it was still a major power in Europe, and its foundation remained. With the help of Longyan, and being a subordinate of Longyan, the best way for him to make contact with the Longyan side was through the Ottoman.

Since Austria, France, Poland, and other countries want to close the door on me...

Then, I must find a Method to open this door!

The Geography of the Ottoman, plus the Black Sea Port they just acquired, is enough.

It is enough to give those countries a hard time.

While Liu Zheng was still busy with wedding preparations, he received this letter from the King of Germany.

To tell the truth, he was very surprised.

Frederick?

Someone from Germany?

Liu Zheng smiled.

In this period, in reality, the presence of the people of Germany was still not strong. At least in his view, historically speaking.

But he knew that this Frederick could not be ignored.
