170 Immovable Charter (2)
Inside the Imperial Palace in Vienna, Austria.
George Holland I, the uncle of Elizabeth I of the Netherlands, who was responsible for the creation of a unified Germany, was ill.
He is a sincere emperor who works hard to fatten the Austrian Empire and seize European hegemony through his relationship with Easterfield.
“Throw the bait?”
“exactly.”
Europe is a country in which the title of the royal family establishes all order rather than the will of the deceased.
Although he is the uncle of Sisersholland I, Yi Hwan was wearing a Haoche, and it was the same with Sisholland.
George Holland I pondered.
“What can we gain by throwing the bait at them?”
“Britain and Russia will form a coalition through this war.”
“… … Does that mean it’s good for us?”
“If Britain and Russia form a coalition and try to invade Italy, wouldn’t Austria declare war?”
“A declaration of war?”
“If we declare war on the pretext of not allowing Italian occupation, Russia and Britain will have no choice but to panic.”
“Ugh.”
“If we bind them together and keep them in check, European order will be restored.”
Austria is an empire that dreams of becoming a great power, but the bigger ideal is to become a European hegemon.
To do that, it is important to reconcile the relationship with the Netherlands, but has it already been possible to reconcile by blood?
If that was the case, it was said that Austria could build a foothold from now on to become a top-notch country from Italy.
“Okay, your strategy always surprises me.”
“If Russia and Britain unite to build a force, we must also create a force to help them.”
“A force to help them?”
“The nations that have been hiding their claws will strike out. You just let them unite and let it go.”
“Do you stand by?”
Sometimes, letting the years pass by is a strategy.
If countries that have been holding their breath until now, hiding the claws of imperialism, arise, they will try to unite with Britain and Russia.
When they united, Lee Hwan clearly thought that a huge desire would explode.
“We can covet beyond Italy to Asia. If that happens, Austria might have to fight an army of well over a million, or even over two million.”
“… … Does that sound like a dangerous idea?”
“But if there is such a threat, we have reason to move.”
“For a reason?”
“Easterfield Federation.”
“Oh oh!”
If the Easterfield Federation decides to start recruiting troops, how many will it be able to recruit?
Even if Easterfield, which is 50 to 100 years ahead in technology, mobilizes only 1 million troops, the European continent becomes their colony.
But what if there is a cause for an all-out war?
“If our Federation unites with the Netherlands to build an army, we could wipe out Britain and Russia with one blow. Through him, Austria, together with the Netherlands, may try to expand its territory in Europe.”
When the Ottoman Empire was dismantled, Eastern Europe was divided into several parts, and it was the most coveted prey of the Western powers.
If Austria took over such territory, the map of Europe itself would change.
But one question arose here.
“We can promote territorial expansion in Europe. But what will your Federation get?”
Lee Hwan smiled softly.
“Eurasia.”
“Eurasia?”
“Russia and Asia.”
“Huh… … !”
Geezer Holland was more than I could have ever imagined.
***
In December 1836, Britain and Russia finally signed an end-of-war pact.
In this agreement, Britain and Russia signed a mutual non-aggression pact and pledged not to go to war from now on.
However, that only meant that the two countries would not fight each other, and this was only the prelude to another war.
“How about going to war again after the economy is restored by 1840?”
“Ugh!”
“If we devour the Italian Peninsula and Eastern Europe, we will divide Europe and rule it.”
Perhaps if Britain and Russia win the battle for Italy, Britain and Russia will plan an East-West war anyway.
This is because human greed is endless, and two suns cannot rise in the sky.
But then again, there will be plans for that time.
It was an Asian expedition.
“If we pacify Europe, we will be able to advance into Asia and bring the rich gold of Northeast Asia.”
“… … It is the gold of Asia!”
Until now, Europe had been consistently running a deficit through trade with Asia.
Asia exported luxury goods, spices, and even paper to Europe to collect gold and silver, but only opium could be sold to them in Europe.
However, even that could not be done at will because Easterfield insisted on restricting the export of opium for medical use.
In other words, the more they trade, the more Britain will live as an economic vassal to Asia.
The British thought that war was absolutely necessary to ameliorate such unfair trade.
If Europe were to be united and join hands with Russia, Britain felt that it would be worth fighting against Asia.
Until now, they had fought to the point of bloodshed, but if they formed the Allied Forces, they thought that there would be no more powerful force again.
Of course, they had one major problem.
It was Easterfield.
“All good, but the problem with this plan is Easterfield 1.”
“Uh… … .”
“I heard that they are fighting a war with the Qing Dynasty, and if Easterfield wins there, it will be difficult for us to take over Asia.”
“Against Easter Field, which has dominated Asia?”
“Is it possible?”
Russia was concerned about Easterfield’s enormous firepower.
However, Britain had one room to dispose of Russia’s worries once and for all.
“What do you think would happen if we could create a weapon with similar performance to Easterfield’s towed artillery?”
“… … tow gun?”
“Besides, if we can reproduce the gloves they made, can we win the war?”
“If that is possible, then of course it is. How easy would that be?”
“We know it’s not easy. But we had to do the hard work.”
“… … What does that mean?”
Shortly before the British went to war with Russia, they sent spies to Easterfield to steal some of their steel and artillery skills.
It’s raw, with a very neatly organized file.
“If we have weapons, no matter how much Easterfield, we will be defeated.”
“It’s nice to hear that!”
Russia now thought that there was no better ally than Britain.
Such thinking was actually reflected in Russia’s statement of position.
“I will adjust all of our productive power to you.”
“If Russia helps, we can split our arms in half.”
“Fufu, if that’s the case!”
The British-Russian Union Army was born.
But they hadn’t even thought of it yet.
What kind of results will the union of today produce in the future?
***
Yuhara of the Kanto region is leading the 10th Fleet and sweeping the Yellow Sea.
As expected of Lee Gak, the DPRK-Japan Allied Forces gathered forces with all their powers to mobilize, and based on him, they set out to support Qing.
There was no way for them to do anything because they were called the Korea-Japan Allied Forces in the field where all the tribes with even one trading ship were being looted.
Boo woo woo!
Yuhara’s trumpet sounded.
“Raise the black flag.”
The 10th Fleet carries black flags anytime and anywhere to advertise that they are the world’s strongest Easterfield’s private fleet.
It was the aspiration of the 10th Fleet ‘Black Dragon Pirates’ to reproduce the notoriety of the Black Hammer Pirates in Asia.
Even though the Black Dragon Pirates raised a black flag, the DPRK-Japan coalition forces were still running, unaware of their retreat.
“It looks like you changed your mind because you wanted to die. What is the enemy’s weapon status?”
“I understand that the Korean artillery and the Japanese gungun are divided into armed groups.”
“It seems that the weapons from the peninsula and the archipelago were scraped together and shared with each other.”
Because the shogunate government was consistent with the policy of isolation from Japan, Japan’s weapons system still showed no sign of development.
Of course, it was the same in Joseon as well.
After the Imjin War, Joseon passed through Yeongjo and met the foundation of the Tekken notice, and was preparing for a leap forward thanks to the reign of King Jeongjo.
After the death of a powerful monarch named Hana Jeongjo, the fortunes of Joseon began to decline rapidly.
Although they were partially armed with matchlock guns, their scale was so insignificant, and the reality was that they were still using the cannons of the past.
Since the armies that lacked something met each other, I thought that the Allied Forces of Korea and Japan would now be able to create a powerful force.
The problem originated from here.
The point was that mixing a crude army would still only be crude.
Yuhara wanted to show the allied powers of Japan to the right of their potential.
“What is the number of soldiers?”
“The Allied Forces of Korea and Japan mobilized a total of 30,000 soldiers.”
“Three thousand?”
“Like the naval forces, there are about 30,000 more troops on the amphibious ships behind the battleships.”
“It’s six thousand. I’ve collected quite a bit.”
“But anyway, it is a lamp in front of the wind.”
If the Black Dragon Pirates were to line up and fire only guns, the Korean-Japanese Allied Forces would fall as it is.
However, that was not the picture Yuhara had in mind.
He intended to show the strength of Easterfield by plundering all the supplies of the Allied Forces.
“Whether it be the shogunate or the shogunate, they are all garbage. If we show our strength to such scum, won’t the people come to their senses too?”
“It is a wise word.”
“Okay then, let me know that Yuha of the Black Dragon is heading out!”
boo! boo!
The ironclad ships would now block enemy attacks and provide a foundation for the Marines to stably trade merchant ships.
Before going into full-scale battle, Yuhara asked the soldiers for a word.
“We take as many prisoners of war as we can.”
“Saengpo… … .”
“Anyway, the weapons they use cannot penetrate our armor. Then, wouldn’t it be better to promote the excellence of Easterfield than to shoot and massacre?”
“You think there is no need for unnecessary slaughter!”
“Yes. Only commanders are selected and killed. In Joseon or Japan, if there is no commander anyway, it’s a mess. What do they know when they were brought out without knowing the English language while they were farming?”
Yuhara firmly believed that the long-awaited ambition of her master, Lee Gak, would be able to reform Joseon and Japan.
He was determined to bring freedom to both Korea and Japan.
