The most important enclave of the empire in Europe was Constantinople.

It only has one palace, but it has 80,000 elite imperial troops.

The 80,000-strong elite imperial army is fully equipped, with more than 2,000 artillery pieces and 600 heavy tanks.

The empire's military strength in Constantinople alone was able to overwhelm the vassal states in Europe.

The two important military towns of Moshifu and Constantinople were important means for the empire to suppress the major vassal states in Europe.

They are located in the west, east, north and south. If there is an incident in any region of Europe, the imperial army can arrive in time.

Constantinople does not belong to the territory directly under the empire. It is managed by the Metropolitan Government. The regulations on this land are relatively flexible.

It has become the largest arms black market in Europe.

It is precisely because of Constantinople's special status.

It is the place where the kings of European countries meet for alliance.

This place belongs to the empire, and no king of any country can control it.

The security of Constantinople is extremely high, and there will be no such thing as King Huai of Chu during the Warring States Period.

The kings of the major vassal states in Europe, except for the King of Fujian Zhang Wan, were all the founding monarchs.

Their status in the country is irreplaceable.

Once you are really detained or assassinated by the enemy, civil strife will easily occur in the country.

The kings of Eastern Europe like to meet in Constantinople.

The kings of Western Europe did not like the cold northern regions of the empire, so they chose to go to Gibraltar to form an alliance.

The largest Tianfu Restaurant in the center of Constantinople.

This restaurant has been booked by certain forces and is extremely heavily guarded.

The defenders with long guns slung around their waists clearly had a fierce aura. They were all soldiers.

In the private room with excellent sound insulation performance, several elegant and luxurious people were changing glasses.

Gui Wang Qutian picked up a glass of wine, drank it down in one gulp, and said sincerely: "This time we form an alliance, I definitely don't want to be the leader.

Everyone takes what they need and jointly cope with the current crisis.

In the current situation, the only way to stay warm is to stay together.

There is no leader in the alliance. If anything happens, everyone will make a decision together with one person and one vote, and the minority will obey the majority."

Gui Wang Qutian put down his wine glass and picked up the chopsticks on the table while others were drinking.

He gently broke it, and the bamboo chopsticks broke with a sound.

He picked up a handful of more than a dozen chopsticks and put them together in his hands without breaking them even with the strength of his arms.

Gui Wang Qutian then said: "What I just did was a short story in a primary school textbook.

Cooperation can lead to win-win results. We put this principle in primary school textbooks and instill it in children.

However, due to the influence of various interests, we adults are still unable to help ourselves, and it is difficult to cooperate sincerely.

At a time when the situation is critical like this, everyone must give up some prejudices and work together to deal with future problems.

The Covenant has made it very clear that the military cooperation provisions of the Covenant will only be activated when it is attacked by a third country.

The feud between our Gui State and Wu State will never involve everyone."

After Gui Wang Qutian finished speaking, he sighed deeply in his heart.

If Gui Guo's situation was not too difficult, he would not want to form an alliance with these countries at all.

The alliance between these countries is essentially a grouping of weak countries to keep warm.

King Qutian of Gui was very confident before, believing that it could create a regional power.

The battle between Gui State and Wu State made Gui King Qutian realize that Gui State's strength was not weak, but it could not be said to be strong.

Because Wu State used poison gas bombs, he was sanctioned by the empire, which cut off the trade between the empire and Wu State, affecting the development of Wu State.

When Gui Wang Qutian learned the news, he was still very happy.

If Gui State develops in a few more years, it will definitely surpass Wu State.

But changes in the situation in Europe have made him less confident in developing slowly.

As Western European countries made every effort to colonize Africa.

They could obtain a large amount of cheap raw materials from the colonies and promote the development of domestic industry.

Colonies are also the second largest digesting market for industrial products in various countries.

In the early days of the colony, the impact was not that great.

As countries continue to improve their colonial reclamation, the contribution of colonies to national strength becomes more and more obvious.

The rapid rise of Chu in Europe put pressure on all countries.

The countries following Chu were Rui and Song, both of which had colonies as support.

The only country whose national power is developing slowly is the country of Yue, which is located in the hilly and mountainous areas of southwest Europe.

The country of Yue has very few plains, and both agriculture and industry require a large amount of plains.

The inherent shortcomings of the Yue State caused them to compete in the colonies and were unable to compete with the Chu State, becoming the weakest country in Western Europe.

The strength he displayed for Yue, the weakest country in Western Europe, also shocked King Qutian of Gui and others.

It was the rise of Western European countries that led Eastern European countries to prepare for alliances, and several weak countries joined together to keep warm.

All countries have felt a powerful threat and are in danger of national subjugation and annihilation.

Only then will they promote the further development of the alliance and form a military alliance between countries.

Tang Wang Su Sheng agreed: "King Gui is right, everyone has equal status.

This is a prerequisite for our alliance.

The current situation does not allow us to slowly develop ourselves."

Tang Wang Su Sheng accepted the teachings of his father. He knew that alliances between countries meant transferring certain sovereignty and forming a group with common interests.

The monarchs of various countries enjoy supreme rights and will never share their power unless the situation is forced.

The current situation in Europe is already developing in this direction.

The Chu State was so powerful that Tang Wang Su Sheng could ignore it.

Unless the Chu State has grown to the point of not fearing the strength of the empire.

Otherwise, they would never annex the vassal state established by the prince.

Tang Wang Su Sheng was worried about Rui Wang Su Lei, his extremely conceited second emperor brother.

Rui is in the west of Europe, Tang is in the east of Europe, and there are several countries in between.

According to common sense, Rui will never attack Tang.

But Rui could attack Tang by sea.

As Switzerland's national strength increases, it will naturally develop a more powerful navy.

King Rui Sule definitely had good reasons to do this.

Rui Wang Su Lei eliminated Tang Wang Su Sheng and Qi Wang Su Ming.

Liang King Su Meng has a foreign bloodline, so he will definitely not be able to inherit the throne. He has already been eliminated.

Once the father does not like the prince Su Shu, he is likely to return to the capital and become the new prince.

These princes who were sent abroad to establish vassal states have all been eliminated by their father.

This situation is not his assumption, Tang Wang Su Sheng thought through observing Rui Wang Su Lei.

He has confirmed that King Rui Sulei has this kind of thinking, because he also has this kind of thinking.

If Tang Wang Su Sheng had the ability, he would also eliminate the other brothers.

He didn't want to be eliminated and returned to the capital as a loser in despair.

Tang Wang Su Sheng could only find a way out by himself.

At this time, King Qutian of Gui, a figure of his uncle's generation, asked him for an alliance.

This time it is no longer a verbal alliance, but a military alliance that binds each other through various covenants.

Tang Wang Su Sheng thought for a moment and decided to join this alliance.

When they came to Constantinople this time, they had reached a consensus that this time it was just money to sign the alliance.

The alliance countries include Gui, Tang, Fujian and Qing.

The land between their four countries can be connected into one, so it is easy for others to send troops to support them.

The most critical point is that there is no conflict of interest among the four countries, which is also an important reason why the four countries can form an alliance.
