Chapter 1303: Liu Zheng's Attitude

Liu Zheng knew that this Frederick was no ordinary person.

Moreover, he had some understanding of the German people.

Confined to a corner of Europe, their character was indeed incredibly resilient.

As for this era, apart from the great ruler Frederick, one must not forget that Yekaterina II was herself a Prussian. And she was Frederick's dream lover. If it weren't for Frederick's father forcing him to swear that he would never be unfaithful to his wife in this life, perhaps Yekaterina would have been his ideal wife.

Yekaterina was known as Yekaterina the Great.

In history, she was far more formidable than Frederick.

In Liu Zheng's impression, this Frederick spearheaded the two partitions of Poland.

He could be called the troublemaker of Europe.

Yet, he was just that capable, achieving final victory every time he took a desperate risk.

Just like that, he developed Prussia from a tiny patch of land into a major European power, laying a solid foundation for the future prosperity of Germany.

That is why he was also a Great Emperor.

Frederick the Great.

In Europe, those called Great Emperors were never simple figures.

Therefore, Liu Zheng was quite surprised.

In the letter, Frederick first expressed his congratulations on Liu Zheng's recent marriage. His attitude was extremely enthusiastic.

Furthermore, there was praise for the Longyan Suez Canal; this kind of praise was not hypocritical, but sincere and earnest.

Between the lines, one could see Frederick's reverence for Liu Zheng, as well as his envy of the importance of the Suez Canal.

Additionally, Frederick mentioned the current resurgence of the Ottoman Empire and the decisive role Liu Zheng played in it.

Furthermore.

Frederick expressed a warm welcome for Liu Zheng to visit Prussia at any time.

And he was very interested in developing friendly cooperation with Longyan.

Liu Zheng looked at this letter and began to smile.

This was truly like having someone hand you a pillow just as you were about to fall asleep.

Not to mention, the recent Longyan, after defeating Tsarist Russia, really had nothing to do.

Although they had fought a war with Tsarist Russia, Longyan still had money.

What they did not lack was money.

They had money when they needed money, men when they needed men, and whatever they needed, they had.

A group of experienced soldiers and officers were howling to go to war.

He was just thinking about going to Europe to stir up some trouble, and the Europeans came knocking on his door.

Every war in history requires a justifiable excuse.

If Liu Zheng wanted to enter Europe, a place that emphasizes lineage, he still needed a reason.

So, all along, he could only probe around the Suez, not daring to truly enter Europe.

But this time it was different...

He quickly wrote a reply to Frederick.

Regardless of whether he could come or not, Liu Zheng invited Frederick to come to Longyan to attend his wedding if he had the time.

In addition, regarding the chaotic situation in Europe that Frederick mentioned in his letter, Liu Zheng expressed his regret. He also firmly believed that the possession of land by various European royal families should be protected.

On this stance, Liu Zheng agreed with all legal principles that conformed to his Private Ownership.

And if possible, he would personally go to Europe to support Frederick's political stance.

After finishing this letter, Liu Zheng knew that he would have things to do again.

Sharpening weapons and feeding horses.

He was finally going to point his spear toward Europe.

Xie Fang was ambitious this time.

Even before returning to Longyan, he had already received the support and welcome of many people within the country.

This made him feel that his choice this time could not be wrong.

Yes.

The empire of Longyan should belong to

his Xie Family.

Although Liu Zheng held the power now, for thousands of years, people had long been accustomed to the Xie Family ruling the world. The tradition of "Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Kin, and Teacher" could not be discarded.

At least, in this aspect, he occupied the advantage.

That Private Ownership thing Liu Zheng came up with...

Heh.

Longyan belongs to their Xie Family; why would I play at Private Ownership with you?

As long as he returned to Longyan, he would surely have a hundred responses to a single call!

The current Xie Fang already had this delusion!

It was time to set off.

Surrounded by his civil and military officials, Xie Fang arrived at Daxi Wharf.

"Your Majesty, the fleet is ready!"

"Your Majesty..."

Looking at this majestic fleet, Xie Fang was also filled with soaring ambition for a moment.

He smiled faintly and said, "Our warships can now rival their Yinzhou ships!"

This should be the thing that makes him happiest.

After Xie Fang took Australia, Liu Zheng used Australia as a springboard.

Therefore, many Factories were built in Australia.

In this regard, Liu Zheng has never been stingy.

As long as it was technology he could provide, he would support Australia, which also allowed Australia's industrialization to reach a level that other countries envied.

Especially the shipyards and the Arsenal; these were all wealth that Liu Zheng gave to Xie Fang.

Yet Xie Fang felt this was only natural.

Because everything produced here first passed through the Longyan logistics center before being sold to all parts of the world.

He believed that Liu Zheng took a large amount of profit from it.

Liu Zheng only treated his place as a contract Factory.

But clearly, Xie Fang's ambition was more than that.

So he had long since learned most of Longyan's technology.

All for this very moment!

He did not expect this day to come so soon.

Nor did he expect that there were still many people who remembered the name of Xie Fang.

He did not expect that, to some people, he was considered long-awaited and the choice of the masses.

Set sail.

This time, for the sake of his own face, Xie Fang directly assembled a massive fleet.

What he did not know was:

This should be the last time he would show his face on the world stage.

He really should not have returned to Longyan at this time.

Because he had not yet fully settled things in the territory of Australia.

The situation in Australia remained chaotic.

Those bigwigs from all over the world were each harboring their own ulterior motives.

His choice to return at this time was truly unwise.

……

The partition of Poland.

This was the matter Liu Zheng was currently considering.

As mentioned before, the history of these wars in Europe was actually a history of the struggle of bloodlines.

A history of the struggle between royal bloodlines and the Holy See.

This was also the reason why Menshikov never dared to force himself to become Emperor.

Even when Napoleon forcibly crowned himself Emperor, his fate did not turn out any better.

This was the Europeans' obsession with bloodlines.

Therefore, if Liu Zheng wanted to stir up trouble in Europe, he needed a pretext.

Looking at the entire current diplomatic situation in Europe, Prussia was actually not a very good choice.

The barbaric German Empire had already fallen into a predicament of being besieged on all sides.

But precisely because of this, it was in urgent need of help from Longyan and the Ottoman Empire.

Liu Zheng knew the direction of history.

Under the siege of several countries, Prussia was on the verge of extinction several times, yet it stood firm every time.

And it grew stronger step by step.

Liu Zheng felt that he must participate in this matter.
