Chapter 1141

Because of the advent of the era of world trade, almost all countries, one by one, have joined the vigorous wave of world trade. Commodities and specialties from all over the world are transported to various regions by sailing boats.

With the rapid circulation of commodity economy, the economy of the whole world is activated actively and passively. European goods are sold in Asia and all parts of the new world. Similarly, the goods and specialties of the above regions are also sold to the above regions. Just the goods and money in circulation every year is an astronomical number! As the Suez canal into the Mediterranean and from the Red Sea to Asia, the Strait of gibraltarian are two crucial strategic areas.

There are tens of thousands of sailboats going in and out of the two places every year!

Similarly, the goods and money carried by these sea going ships are a huge sum of money, which is numbing. The rich taxes paid by Tang people have made them rich for hundreds of years. Even now, the country has become decadent and extravagant, but its naval fleet and overseas colonies are still a huge number and scale.

Similarly, the huge profits it receives every year make countless people envious.

Before the chaos of the Tang Dynasty, the European countries did not hold a partition banquet. However, the joint action did not completely win the country. At the very least, the Allied forces of the European countries had gained an advantage in the beginning. However, both the army and the Navy did not inflict heavy damage on the Tang people. On the contrary, in this era of chaos, a group of excellent officers who were eager to appear because of the war in the Tang Dynasty were hindered by internal chaos and command. It still managed to maintain the stability of the country, and through the follow-up war, it avoided the situation that the country was divided by other countries.

In addition, the appearance of the protectionist beast once again awakened the fear of Europeans.

They have no confidence to defeat a dragon with a body length of more than 1000 meters, a wingspan covering the sky and two ferocious heads. Similarly, although there was chaos in the Tang Dynasty, the upper class began to decay. However, the middle and lower classes at that time still maintained a strong vitality. Whether it's their army or their navy, strength still exists.

Therefore, at that time, a joint partition action against the Tang people did not make all countries get the benefits they wanted.

The upper class of the Tang people became even less enterprising because of the reason of protecting the country. And gradually, this idea has gradually polluted the middle class, they also drift with the tide, sucking the interests and blood of the country, and strengthening themselves. Because, in a short period of several hundred years, the bourgeoisie, led by businessmen, has grown rapidly in an amazing situation.

The wealth they amassed was astonishing, and the profits they sought through gibraltarian and Suez were even more astonishing. Nowadays, their discourse power in the country of Tang people is gradually increasing. The rich and powerful bourgeoisie also began to seek further privileges, such as political career or controlling the country's important foreign trade.

Therefore, in such a special environment, the speed of Tang people's corrosion is amazing.

With the passage of time, today's Tang people, not to mention the Navy, even the army has basically lost all its combat effectiveness. Every stratum is not eager to make progress, but is thinking of seeking for their own interests, resulting in the strong, brilliant, prosperous and rich Tang people hundreds of years ago. After hundreds of years, it gradually became a second rate country, although the country is still rich. However, what the envoys of Tang Dynasty saw, heard and recorded in the book a brief tour of Tang Dynasty have gradually become legends.

In a very short period of time, the well-to-do peasants in that year had gradually become extremely poor.

The European countries, which always observed the social activities of the Tang Dynasty, saw the weakness and lack of enterprising spirit of the Tang people, and they united again. A new round of partition banquet for the Tang people started again.

Britain, France, Spain, Ottoman, Austria and even Italy joined in, as well as the small Nordic countries. Their forces began to build up, both in the army and Navy, in secret. So far, the people of Tang Dynasty are still in a state of ignorance! The upper class is still living a dream of life and death, no longer governing the country, and the internal infrastructure is still built by the monarch hundreds of years ago. It has been used up to now, but it also faces the danger of being in disrepair for a long time, and even the infrastructure construction in some areas has been out of use.

Although the Tang people were still huge, they all took the upper and lower Egypt, guarded the access to the Red Sea, and mastered a series of islands along the way. Guarding the main roads from Europe to Asia, the annual canal tariff and the wealth collected from entering and leaving the canal are amazing. These can be transformed into profound and incomparable strength, making the already powerful Tang people more powerful. However, since the expulsion of the wizard, the whole country has gradually weakened.

If it was not for the existence of the protectors, it would prove the legal ruling status of the deity family that was famous in Europe. I'm afraid that by now, the rule of this family has been overthrown for a long time.

Now, a new round of coalition forces has been formed again.

For those maritime powers and colonial powers with great interests in the Far East and Asia. Under the control of the Tang Dynasty, the areas of gibraltarian, upper and lower Egypt, as well as the tariff set for each country, and the annual limit on the amount of merchant ships to Asia. They are all stuck in the neck of European countries, which makes them extremely uncomfortable. They watch the huge profits generated by trade every year being continuously shared by the Chinese who enjoy their own success.

Eager to change this situation, the European countries are determined to change this situation once again through joint action. They did not seek to overthrow the rule of the Tang Dynasty, nor to control upper and lower Egypt, because millions of Tang people had already lived in this desert. However, the control of the canal of gibraltarian and Suez, or the control of the canal, is the inevitable trend of the European countries.

To say the least, even if we can't control the canal of gibraltarian and Suez, the European countries have to seek the duty-free goods or the free trade conditions of the two regions.

They are still afraid of the Tang people.

Although the continuous crackdown has already begun for a long time, the impact of the previous joint action still haunts them. Even though all countries have surpassed the Tang people in strength, they are also worried that another joint action and coercion will wake up this decadent country.

So as to wake up the absolute hegemonic country thousands of years ago!

However, as the huge army began to gather, the worries of European countries gradually faded. They don't worry about winning a country that has been decayed for hundreds of years. The only thing they should worry about is the dragon that lurks in the wide Mediterranean Sea and sleeps in the bottom of the sea. Once the sleeping dragon is awakened by the fierce war, I am afraid that by then, their joint action will still be unable to obtain the benefits they want. There are precedents.

In the last joint operation, the awakening and appearance of the giant dragon in the later period made the panic stricken Tang people feel at ease. Therefore, although the European countries achieved part of the interests they wanted through a war, they were still not satisfied. Now, in this joint action, the European countries have made up their minds to fight quickly and win the war completely before the Dragon wakes up. So as to seize their long-awaited interests at the negotiation table!

The huge combined fleets set out one after another, forming a huge combined fleet on the wide sea. Then, the United armies of various countries began to gather in Spain. Then, after the Navy set out, the army also rushed to the provinces of China.

In addition, a part of the army was transported to Morocco in North Africa by ships. They were going to attack part of the territory of Morocco occupied by the Tang people across the sea from gibraltarian!
