Chapter 1310: Joint Declaration

Xie Fang's feeling was not wrong.

In truth, Liu Zheng had never once taken him seriously, even with Longyan having reached its current stage.

What could a mere Xie Fang possibly do?

Could he change the course of history?

The wheels of history turn, and rarely does a reversal succeed.

Even someone as powerful as Napoleon faced various restoration farces later on, all of which ended in failure.

And that was under chaotic circumstances.

Once the liberated and open thoughts of the people are unleashed, they will not allow the era to return to the ancient stages of the past.

Not to mention that the current Longyan is so stable and so powerful.

A tiny Xie Fang cannot stir up any waves at all. Therefore, Liu Zheng did not intend to target him; he would let him go to Longyan for a walk. In any case, his own wedding date was still nearly three months away. Of course, this was not just about Xie Fang alone.

There were others as well.

Others who wanted to have any ideas about Longyan.

The troops of Iron Wood City had already been destroyed by Longyan.

This was a clown in history, a typical negative example.

Did you think you could attack Longyan just because Liu Zheng was not in the country?

You thought too much.

Today's Longyan is a massive state machine, and a well-functioning one at that.

It will not grind to a halt just because of the absence of one person.

This is what Liu Zheng wanted to achieve.

Because his lifespan was limited after all, he naturally hoped in his heart that the entire Longyan would become the world hegemon.

Then, let it start from this battle.

Let him tell that bunch of people in Europe who the true hegemon will be.

……

"Madness, are the Longyan people mad! Has he gone mad!"

Teresa, who was in Vienna, was completely numb upon receiving the news that a million-strong Longyan army had set out.

Yes.

She was truly numb.

A million-strong army!

Wars in Europe had always been small-scale skirmishes; where had one ever heard of a million-strong army being dispatched in full force at the drop of a hat?

The environment in which Teresa grew up also meant she had never heard of the existence of Longyan.

This powerful country seemed to have popped up out of nowhere.

Her ministers also looked at one another in dismay.

Mad.

This was truly mad.

A million-strong army.

Twenty fleet groups.

"Your Majesty, we have never fought against these Longyan troops before..."

"But they defeated the powerful Tsarist Russia!"

"Yes, Peter the Great died precisely because of that battle!"

"What kind of monsters are they exactly?"

People began to discuss it.

Teresa, this famous beauty queen of Europe, had only just managed to consolidate her throne. Since childhood, she had been groomed as an heir by her father, Charles VI. Her father had even committed many taboos and offended countless people because he wanted to crown her queen. Because the powerful Austria controlled not only Austria itself, but also many kingdoms and duchies in Europe.

She was not only the Queen of Austria, but also the Queen of Hungary and the Queen of Bohemia.

And, most importantly, she held the Holy Roman throne of the Habsburg Family.

Facing the covetous gaze of the European mad dog Frederick on one side, and having to reform this corrupt and chaotic country on the other, she had it too hard.

It had only just stabilized recently.

She had just used diplomatic means to win over France and formed an alliance with Tsarist Russia, causing Tsarist Russia to completely abandon Frederick's side.

This mad dog had then started his war again.

Teresa,

or rather the Habsburg Family, would absolutely not allow the rise of another German power, so she would firmly never agree to the strength of Prussia.

Therefore, when Frederick seized Polish territory, she immediately mobilized an army from Bohemia to reinforce the garrison in Saxony. No matter how powerful the Prussian Army was, both sides began various extreme tug-of-wars at this critical juncture.

Only then did Teresa heave a sigh of relief.

Yet what she did not expect was that, suddenly, such a powerful Longyan army appeared?

"Britain, are you just going to watch as the gates of our Europe are thrown wide open to Longyan!"

Teresa roared in anger.

The others likewise dared not speak.

One million!

That was one million!

How did the Longyan people manage it?

One must know, how much does it cost to launch a war with one million troops and twenty fleet groups? It is simply unimaginable! It is said that these Yinzhou ships are very advanced steel vessels, and following the trend of the Industrial Revolution, the ships had long been equipped with the most advanced steam-powered equipment. That is to say, one could not even imagine how much coal this one ship would need to consume just to sail to Europe.

However, these are all things that can make people green with envy!

"Your Majesty, although we know nothing about this Longyan army, they come from such a barren place as Asia, and the journey is not ordinarily long. It is hard to imagine that they could have enough coal to use as fuel!"

A group of people began to discuss it.

"That is right, Your Majesty!"

"We have absolutely no need to worry much."

"Whether it is coal or provisions, the consumption of one million people is something we can exploit!"

Teresa heard this and nodded along.

That is right.

A million-strong army.

Good heavens.

It sounds very fierce.

But everyone here is someone who has come through war after war.

How much in provisions do these one million people consume every day, and how much coal is needed for sailing on the sea?

This is no joke.

This is why very few people like long-distance warfare.

Unless you have super confidence in a war, otherwise, once you fall into a stalemate, it is almost a catastrophe.

"Hehe, I don't know whether to call these Longyan people madmen or fools."

Teresa chuckled.

The others also relaxed.

Asia?

In their view, that is an underdeveloped region; how could it compare to those of them who believe in God?

Barbarians of an inferior civilization!

As expected, they don't even know how to fight a war!

One million people, just setting off like that?

Is Europe really as simple as you think?

"Supply Ship!"

Teresa's eyes suddenly lit up.

Following her, the others also became excited.

That's right, Supply Ship!

With such a powerful fleet and so many people, it is certainly unrealistic to have no Supply Ship. Therefore, if one wants to crush them, there is a very good, very simple Method!

Attack their Supply Ship!

In this way, it is very likely that they will perish completely in the sea before they even reach Europe!

Having thought of a Method to deal with the Longyan people, everyone became excited.

Issue a joint statement!

Teresa immediately issued a joint statement with these European countries, sternly boycotting the Longyan people for participating in the struggles of Europe without cause. She even began to condemn the King of Prussia, Frederick II, for inviting the wolf into the house.

And she called on all the kingdoms of the Holy Roman Empire in Europe to stand up and jointly resist the enemy from the East.
