Chapter 1307: The Alliance Forms

A single sentence from Liu Zheng made everyone restless.

To fight!

To make money!

To plunder resources!

When had Longyan ever been this arrogant?

When had Longyan ever been this domineering?

When had Longyan ever been this wealthy?

But what about now?

If they say they can do it, they can!

Is this something the imperial court could bring them? Is this something the Xie Family could bring them? Just as Liu Zheng said, do not limit your vision to a mere Longyan, and certainly do not limit it to a mere Asia.

Look at the world!

Europe is just as exciting!

First, the Prince of Yong could not hold back.

This good-natured man, who had always followed obediently behind Liu Zheng, could not resist this huge temptation this time.

The Prince of Yong, this fellow, had thought highly of Liu Zheng even before Liu Zheng had properly begun to make his mark. To Liu Zheng, he was like a friend across generations. The relationship between the two had always been good. Since the Battle of Hanzhong, the Prince of Yong had been determined to follow Liu Zheng.

Therefore, he also became the vanguard force this time.

Liu Zheng intended to bring out at least twenty Yinzhou ships, along with their equipped fleet groups, to transport the 300,000-strong army from Hanzhong, first through the Suez Canal, then into the Mediterranean Sea.

This decision made the Prince of Yong jump for joy.

At the same time, it made others incredibly envious.

Everyone knew that from the Mediterranean Sea into the heart of Europe, the first to bear the brunt would be Vienna, the capital of Austria! And this time, their Longyan was allied with Prussia, attacking this very Austria!

So, without a doubt, this Prince of Yong became the main force, the vanguard.

And when Liu Zheng cooperated with these Feudatory Kings, there was a very detailed and reasonable principle for the distribution of benefits. The Prince of Yong contributed the most, so naturally, he received the most rewards.

However, everyone also knew that this was Liu Zheng's repayment to the Prince of Yong for these past years.

"Sir, count me in too!"

"And us in Jingzhou!"

"Our Shuzhou..."

"Don't forget about us!"

The atmosphere at the scene became lively once again.

At this moment, Europe, already mired in war, had no idea that in this ancient East, a giant dragon was coming to devour them.

"Kill!"

At this time, the army of Frederick II had already marched into the heart of Saxony's territory. Prussia had launched this war by surprise, and Poland had no reaction at all, suffering defeat after defeat. This pack of wolves from Prussia was simply not something they could withstand.

"Your Majesty, we will be able to enter Dresden in three days!"

Frederick was very satisfied with the continuous victories in the war.

Tall and sturdy, he rode on his War Horse, gazing into the distance, and chuckled, "Poland, this treacherous fellow, should not be given any chance to catch its breath! Listen to my command: forced march!"

"Yes!"

Augustus III had long since fled the area; his strength was too small to resist this force, which was currently the most elite in Europe.

And the reason Frederick wanted to attack Poland first was for one reason.

There was evidence here that would allow him to justify his actions.

It was the document from back then when a group of countries participated in the partition of Prussia!

Poland at that time had participated in it!

As long as he could find this document, it would prove that this time, Prussia was fighting a "war of revenge," not a "war of aggression"!

And this document was in Dresden!

With the force of a falling tree, the flight of Augustus III and the stubborn defense of his Queen in Dresden formed a stark contrast.

But no matter how the Queen of Poland tried to stop it, the document eventually fell into the hands of Frederick II.

Over at Suez.

The war situation, which Jiang Xuan and Nashadier had struggled to hold for a long time, suddenly saw its pressure greatly reduced.

This left the two of them baffled.

The British Navy was still very powerful; although they had suffered a great loss under Jiang Xuan's schemes, they had quickly recovered and still caused significant damage to the Longyan army led by Jiang Xuan.

However...

At this moment, the British Navy was actually retreating one by one?

"What is going on?"

"What kind of trick are they playing?"

"This..."

Jiang Xuan was dumbfounded.

At first, they did not believe it.

They thought it was Britain playing some kind of scheme, but later, the Scout sent back intelligence that the British Navy had truly retreated!

"What?"

Jiang Xuan and Nashadier could not help but look at each other.

They were occupying the upper hand!

Why would they retreat?

In fact, it is not just them.

This time, Luojinsi was even more bewildered.

"Why must we retreat?"

"Why! I could clearly have taken it very soon!"

Luojinsi was so angry.

However, this was an order sent from the Parliament, and as a soldier, he had no choice but to obey!

"Prussia, Prussia..."

Luojinsi looked at the letter in his hand and cursed fiercely: "What on earth is His Majesty thinking? Can he not see that our greatest enemy right now should be the Longyan? It should be the Longyan, not the civil war in Europe!"

Bang!

He was so angry that he slammed his hand onto the table, unable to make sense of it in his heart.

Actually, one cannot blame Britain for how they chose.

The historical development of Europe has always revolved around the Holy See.

That is to say, Catholicism.

The Holy Roman Empire is the existence they identify with from the root.

As for the Longyan...

They did not take them seriously at all.

What they cared about more was whether they could be recognized by the Holy See as the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Bitter Remonstrance for this title was far more important than the Longyan.

Therefore.

For Britain, overseas colonies were merely places for them to plunder resources, and if they wanted to gain respect from others, it still had to be through the struggles within Europe.

When Prussia sought aid from Britain, they stood out without hesitation.

They did not want to see the rise of a powerful Austria, and even less did they want to see Austria, which had turned to ally with France, rise again. They wanted even less to see Teresa, as a woman, become Emperor.

Therefore.

When the alliance began, Britain already knew Prussia's plan, and the Longyan Army was about to arrive as reinforcements.

Then, what was the point of fighting for Suez?

Retreat!

This move was undoubtedly handing the Suez Canal over to the Longyan!

"I'm so angry, I'm so angry..."

Luojinsi was simply like a mute eating coptis—he had bitterness he could not speak of.

He had come this time for revenge.

His own Australia had been snatched away like that, and now this?

What on earth are those things in the Parliament thinking!

"General, we cannot disobey the Parliament's order! Otherwise, you will be facing a military tribunal again..."

"Indeed!"

"General, we must think of a Method."

A group of generals were persuading him from the side.

Think of a Method?

A sharp glint flashed in Luojinsi's eyes.

Fine, then let's think of a Method!

Since they won't let me fight the Longyan!

Then I'll just fight France!

And so.

With one order, the fleet changed direction.

They sped off in the direction of France.
