Chapter 821： European pattern

Ritman's work has been recognized by many elites, and some politicians have begun to race to try to unite Europe, but the reality is somewhat cruel.

King Louis XIV of France had just completed centralization at this time and was ambitious.

In history, he was the longest emperor in the reign of France, for 72 years. During his reign, he not only defeated the Holy Roman Empire, but also defeated Spain and the Netherlands, and became the overlord of the European land.

Therefore, after Louis XIV saw Ritman's work, although he agreed with Ritman's point of view, he wanted to unify the European continent first.

Then, rely on the strength of France to fight against Dahua.

In fact, this kind of thinking cannot be wrong.

If he can quickly defeat the surrounding countries and complete the reunification, then the power of the unified Europe will be more concentrated.

Centralized power is easy to handle. Loose alliances are destined to have many conflicts of interest. When things are handled, there will definitely be many disputes and countless wranglings.

Of course, the premise is that he can quickly defeat neighboring countries. If this is not possible, the European continent will be trapped in the quagmire of war, and all countries will not have the energy to develop, and they will be forced to invest their wealth in the war, making it even more unable to compete with Dahua.

At that time, he will be a sinner in Europe.

Louis XIV was young and vigorous, and he was more capable and arrogant, so he wanted to give it a try first.

Spain and the Holy Roman Empire very much agree with Ritman's point of view, and the two countries have reached an alliance, and they still want to persuade the Netherlands to join.

On the surface, it was to counter the threat of Dahua, but in fact it was also to guard against Louis XIV and the Ottoman Empire.

At this time France is rising, while the Ottoman Empire has reached its peak and is about to weaken.

But the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the army of the Ottoman Empire can still crush European countries.

Therefore, the Ottoman Empire has never given up its expansion in the west.

Spain and the Holy Roman Empire were able to quickly reach an agreement on an offensive and defensive alliance for two main reasons.

One is that the rulers of the two countries are all one family, all of the Habsburg family.

The second is that they all have a common enemy, France and the Ottoman Empire.

On the current European continent, the four of them are singing. The Dutch sea power is not bad, but the army is too small. If Louis XIV was not worried about Spain, I am afraid that the annexation of the Netherlands has already begun at this time.

Of course, according to the current trend, it is fast too.

And Germany, at this time, was still a loose federation, belonging to the Holy Roman Empire.

Another polar bear, the Grand Duchy of Moscow has not yet risen. It will have to wait for Peter the Great to appear before they can play in the European continent.

As long as France and the Habsburg family can reach a consensus, then the European Union will have no problem.

However, it may not be in Britain’s interest to form an alliance on the European continent.

The United Kingdom likes a divided European continent the most because of its geographical location.

Therefore, they have always acted as **** churns, and whoever has a tendency to become stronger on the mainland will hit anyone.

However, because of the emergence of Dahua, some British aristocrats have to think about continuing to divide the European continent. Is it right or wrong?

This is a very profound issue that requires in-depth research.

In terms of politics, all countries are studying how to deal with the threat posed by Dahua.

In terms of economy and technology, European countries are also struggling to catch up.

In the four years of Yongxing, Britain produced the first practical steam engine.

This steam engine, named "Hope", lasted for four hours.

Up to now, the British research on steam engines has reached a new level. Steam engines have been applied to all aspects and successfully installed on ships.

However, they have not yet mastered the high-temperature boiler technology, so the power of the steam engine is very small.

It may take another year or two to build a mature steamship.

This speed is actually a leap forward.

Among them, there is the credit of Dahua bad merchants.

In order to obtain the secret of the steam engine, the Europeans used all means.

It is actually very easy to find some loopholes in the huge Majestic Empire.

Some businessmen who are not afraid of death have smuggled steam engines through various loopholes and made huge amounts of wealth.

A steam engine worth one thousand yuan, shipped to Europe, can sell for one hundred thousand taels of silver, or even higher.

With such a huge profit, too many businessmen are willing to take the risk of beheading.

In this way, Western Europe has obtained many Dahua steam engines.

Then through dismantling and research, and then imitating, the speed is naturally much faster.

However, in terms of materials research, they have encountered some troubles, so they have been unable to produce a high-temperature and high-pressure boiler.

In addition to the steam engine, Dahua's rear-mounted rifled gun technology has also been stolen by several Western European countries, and the artillery has also mastered the technology of howitzers.

However, although the technology is mastered, it will take some time to achieve low-cost manufacturing.

Wu Changqing knows that these countries steal technology.

However, he can't help it.

He never really believed that people in the world would be loyal just because someone called him long live.

People are not for themselves, the heavens are destroyed, and the human nature is selfish.

In the face of huge profits, it is impossible for everyone to maintain high moral character.

If you want to ban it completely, unless Dahua bans it, it is obviously impossible. Dahua's development is inseparable from those machines.

Therefore, Wu Changqing just strengthens the core technology of management and control from time to time.

For example, internal combustion engines and generators must be strictly controlled for the time being, and they must never be stolen.

Having controlled these most advanced technologies, there is no need to worry about foreign theft.

No matter how foreign countries steal it, it can't match the speed of Dahua's development.

When Europeans made high-temperature-resistant steam engines, Dahua might have already popularized internal combustion engines.

When the Europeans built the steam battleship, Dahua's all-iron armored ship had already arrived at their door.

When Europeans have built iron-clad ships, Dahua's aircraft carrier formation may also be completed.

As long as it always maintains the technological suppression of foreign countries, Dahua can keep beating them without worry.

After all, Dahua has a large enough volume and a large enough population to have the ability to unify the world.

Unlike the United Kingdom, even if the technology is leading the world, it is impossible to unify the world. The population size is their flaw, and the upper limit is relatively low.

Therefore, for Wu Changqing, the most important thing is to let the Chinese have more lives.

There are large tracts of land overseas waiting for them to occupy. There is no shortage of land, only people.
