The external environment of the United States is so good that it really makes people envious and jealous!
Even the Ming Dynasty, which is also a country in the New World, can't compare!
Their geographical location is so good that they can focus on developing the economy without retaining the army. This is something that the Ming Dynasty cannot compare to. After all, in this age of tigers and wolves, if the Chinese people want to rise, they must have a strong military force!
Emperor Zhu Da still had this bit of historical common sense. This is why in the past ten years, he has focused on developing military power. After all, the lessons from that simulation were too profound.
In fact, the reason why Ming Dynasty can survive now is because of its strength!
But in comparison, the United States is different. They have no external threats at all.
It is precisely because of this that the United States has become the first choice destination for European capital - there is no threat of war!
Standing by the lake, looking at the vast lake surface, Zhu Xianhai said calmly.
"Prime Minister, I have never looked at the present, but the future. Without a ten-year plan, the country's destiny will decline...Although Britain and France have vast colonies, in their vast colonial empires, they rely on tens of millions of
It is impossible for these people to rule hundreds of millions of alien races with them. The world in the future will inevitably be a two-power struggle for hegemony between the Ming Dynasty and the United States. Therefore, in my lifetime, I must curb the development potential of the United States. Only
In this way, the future world will be the world of our Ming Empire!"
Zhu Xianhai's tone was very calm, but his words were very domineering!
Is this for world domination?
That’s right!
Just to dominate the world!
Zuo Zongtang couldn't help being shocked.
In addition to being surprised, he felt that everything was taken for granted. Why had His Majesty spread his plans in the Pacific, North America, and Africa over the years? It seemed that the spread was so large that it even exceeded the scope of the Ming Dynasty's strength.

But this is Ming’s long-term plan!
This is more than a ten-year plan of the country!
It’s simply a centuries-old plan!
Has any wise lord or saint ever had this kind of scheming throughout the ages?
Seek a century of national destiny!
Seeing His Majesty's confident look, Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but feel a little confused.
No matter how good your plans are, things may go wrong sometimes!
Take the United States as an example. Now it has begun to prepare for war and engage in an arms race with the Ming Dynasty!
wrong!
Suddenly, Zuo Zongtang said as if he suddenly realized something.
"Your Majesty wants to use the arms race to bring down the United States?"
Use the arms race to bring down the United States!
It seemed that at this moment, Zuo Zongtang understood His Majesty's thoughts, but another question emerged in his heart.
Isn't Your Majesty afraid of bringing down the Ming Dynasty?
The arms race is a double-edged sword!
As if his thoughts were seen through by His Majesty, Zuo Zongtang heard His Majesty say,
"The arms race may slow down the development of the United States, but it may also promote their development. However, on the whole, this race will be beneficial to Ming Dynasty. After all, no matter what,
We all must develop powerful armaments to maintain our own security, so we cannot stay out of this arms race no matter what! But what about now? After we played our cards, the United States followed suit!"
When the United States follows suit, they will no longer be able to calm down and develop the economy with peace of mind as they did in history!
"And we will not make any detours in the process!"
No detours!
In the competition between countries, overtaking in corners is one of the success factors for the rapid rise of backward countries. Why do some countries fall behind? Isn't it because they have taken detours?
Why did Zhu Xianhai use airships to distort the technology trees of European and American countries? Wasn't it just to lead them into a detour?
The technology tree of airships is curved, but what about battleships?
Of course, it can also be curved. The key to whether the battleship is curved or not depends on the development of the Ming Dynasty's aviation technology. When the time comes, it will naturally take advantage of the conflicts and interest disputes among European countries to fight a world war and destroy the so-called
The "Britannia".
If the eagle is born and all things are born, if the British Empire is ruined, let alone eating a piece of meat from Britain, it is just the dregs that fell, and that is a fat person!
Everyone can make wishful thinking, but Emperor Zhu Da was planning to use the arms race to slow down the development of the United States, nip the United States as a potential opponent in the bud, and finally fight a world war to make the Ming Empire become the world hegemon.
At that time, the current world hegemon, the British Empire, was also making its own wishful thinking.
11 Downing Street.
As Prime Minister, William Ewart Gladstone had unprecedented power. After all, ever since Queen Victoria became a widow, she had almost no involvement in political affairs, and Prince Edward was prohibited from intervening in government affairs.
As a result, Gladstone became the actual ruler of the British Empire.
"Everything is just as we planned!"
Foreign Secretary Granville held his cigar in his mouth a little proudly. He took a puff first, then blew out the smoke. When the smoke dispersed, he smiled.
"The Americans plan to invest 20 million US dollars in the next five years to expand the navy. Mr. Prime Minister, the bombardment of Los Angeles has seriously hurt the national pride of the Americans. The pace of confrontation between Ming and the United States can no longer be stopped!"
"America, does it have a nation?"
Gladstone, the actual helmsman of the British Empire, said in a somewhat mocking tone.
"It doesn't matter whether you have it or not. What's important is that Americans have now joined this game. In this game, we are no longer alone! And..."
Granville took a puff of his cigar, then said while holding it between his teeth.
"As we all know, the United States has no experience in building ironclads at all. They want to confront the Ming Dynasty and expand their maritime armaments. Purchasing warships from abroad is undoubtedly the safest choice. Is there a better choice than the United Kingdom?"
"Exporting warships to the United States? This seems to be a good choice too!"
After thinking about it, Gladstone said.
"The United States is different from other countries. They definitely not only buy warships, they are more willing to build their own warships. Can we convince them to buy warships from the UK?"
"Of course, we can transfer technology to them and let them build warships locally."
Granville said with a smile.
"For British companies, this is a big deal... Americans cannot build ironclads with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons without improving their shipyards, steel mills and gun factories. If the Americans want to use our technology
To build ironclads, our companies will definitely need to help them upgrade and improve these factories. In this way, the profits of those companies will naturally be extremely considerable."
Although he is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, after hearing what Granville said, Gladstone immediately smiled and said:
"Haha, this is indeed a big deal!"
As Prime Minister, of course he also has some business friends. Many of those friends own shipyards, and they must be very happy to participate in this business.
Of course, for the United Kingdom, this business is completely beneficial and harmless. Not only can British companies profit from it, but the United States will also enter a new kind of confrontation with Ming Dynasty.
Both of them will rush to build or purchase new ironclad ships, and this kind of confrontation is exactly what Britain needs.
With the confrontation between the United States and the Ming Empire, Britain could free up its hands to continue to pay attention to France. Pay attention to the situation on the European continent to prevent France from becoming stronger.
And all Britain needs is to sell warships to the Americans and make some money along the way.
"Okay, let's do this, generate electricity for Washington... Let him lobby the United States to purchase warships from the United Kingdom. To achieve this goal, we can transfer our warship technology to them, and we can also help them upgrade their shipyards.
Steel mills and gun factories can also provide loans to their enterprises if necessary."
Providing loans to Americans... Then the British banking industry can make more money. This matter is simply a win for the UK...
