Zhao Hao and Wen Dao Sheng, who were in anxiety because of the bird dropping crisis, did not realize that when the water heater (steam) and the Huang's textile machine appeared, the war on the East Asian continent was already in the brewing.

The power provided by the water heater, coupled with the high efficiency of the Yellow Textile Machine, has completely changed the industrial production model of the Republic of Great Britain and the United States of Eastern Song Dynasty in the past two decades.

The era of manufacture craft industry has come to an end, followed by the era of large-scale machine industry.

It is an industrial revolution, a leap in productivity, and at the same time a crisis.

Twenty years after the opening of the industrial revolution in the Great Zhou Republic and the Eastern Song Dynasty, all the fields affected by the industrial revolution have experienced a sharp increase in product production capacity, but the market demand is seriously insufficient.

Moreover, due to the substitution of machines for manual use, there have been more serious unemployment in the Republic of Great Weeks and in many large cities of the Eastern Song Dynasty.

Of course, due to the existence of large colonies, these hungry and cold people always have a go out, and they will not rise.

However, as the head of the Great Zhou Republic, Wu Yuanlong still felt great pressure.

He is a descendant of the "gentleman", although he also belongs to the Wu's stream, but they have long been inseparable from the position of the head of the state, and their influence in the politics of the Great Zhou Republic is also small.It was not until the generation of Wu Yuanlong that because the three provinces of Japan (East, West Japan and Bohai Province) benefited from the great development and industrial revolution in the Americas, and it became an unspeakable force in the big week of politics, and Wu Yuanlong was elected as the head of state.

By the way, this land in Japan was not of much value before the development of the Americas.Because it is at the very end of the chain of world trade and cultural transmission before the great maritime era.

It is a closed, conservative, backward, barbaric existence, not worth mentioning!

Some people like to blow up the sea people, and when they see that Japan is an island country, they think they are very oceanic.

In fact, this is not the case, Japan is the first country in history to implement the closure of the country, from the end of the Tang Dynasty began to lock up the country.And after the demise of the Tang Dynasty, until the visit of the black ship in modern times, almost 950 years, the locking country was basically a national policy.Only when the interior is made into pots and porridge will the country be established when there is no national policy.

But such a closed, conservative, backward, barbaric country is blocked in China's route to the Americas.

It is inconceivable to bypass Japan to the Americas... Sailing ships must carry an extra month of supplies, which will take up many cargo and cabins.The cost of immigration to the Americas has increased several times!

So as long as the Chinese in the Middle Ages decided to go to the Americas as imperialism, Japan would inevitably follow suit.

This is determined by the geographical environment of Japan!

In fact, the great development of Japan in the future is also, to a considerable extent, benefiting from the country's excellent geographical position.

In this time and space, the three provinces of Japan have been the fastest growing region in the local economy since the middle of the 12th century.The Zhou people living in the three provinces of Japan have also become the largest group of people who have benefited from the development of the Americas in the United States.

Of course, the Zhou people in the three provinces of Japan are Han Chinese, and the clan does not exist now... Before General Khamura conquered Japan, Japan was a barbaric country with a caste system.Only a small number of nobles have surnames, can be regarded as a family.

Most of the serfs and country samurai do not even have a surname, do not know where their ancestors came from, what clan?What is a slave?

Later, General Kakura gave them the surname of Han, saying that they were Han Chinese, and they were of course Han Chinese.

While Japanese farmers and rural samurai became Han Chinese, authentic and ethnic ecumenaries were heavily relocated to the mainland of the Great Week, living under surnames such as source, flat, rattan, and orange, and also integrated into the Han people.

At the same time, a large number of Han Chinese from the mainland of the week and the East Song Dynasty emigrated to the three provinces of Japan and intermarried with the Han Chinese in Japan.

By the time of the Republic for more than 200 years, the history before the "unity liberation" was almost forgotten.No one remembers that his ancestors were Japanese barbarians... It seems that the ancestors of all the three Japanese provinces, Zhou Min, followed the heroic general from the mainland of Da Zhou.

With the great development of industry and commerce in the three provinces of Japan, more and more people in the three provinces have citizenship.The citizens of the three provinces of Japan are very loyal to the "Kamakura Generals".As long as it is a candidate supported by the "Kamakang Generals", he will be elected.

This voting habit also allowed the volunteerists to gradually rise up in the big week politics, and when the Republic 230 election, Wu Yuanlong, the family leader of the volunteerism, was successfully ascended to the support of the Gong Party controlled by the citizens of the three provinces and the right-kuded family leader Wu Shijie, and once again regained the position of the head of the Wu family.

However, three years after Wu Yuanlong took office as head of state, the Great Zhou Republic encountered a crisis caused by overproduction.

In the last year of Wu Yuanlong's first term, the economic crisis has not shown signs of easing, but has intensified.

The Great American Development and the Great Mongol War, which could have brought a little impetus to the economic growth of the mainland of the week, have begun to go out.Europe and the West have another outbreak of the Black Death of Rauchiko!Demand for large-week merchandise has dropped sharply...

In this way, Wu Yuanlong is afraid that there is no second term to do.

He will also become the worst head of state in the history of the Great Zhou Republic in more than 200 years.

Just when Wu Yuanlong was powerless on economic issues, his two political allies, the old Wu Shijie and the secretary of state (of course, the prime minister of the ex officio government) Su Junwan (descendants of Su Mai) gave him a dangerous move to scare him out of a cold sweat - to launch a war to annex the East Song Dynasty!

Although Wu Yuanlong is a military origin, he is a major general in the army.But he was a peace soldier, never fought in his life, and did not think that he would lead a war to unify Huaxia.

However, with the intensification of the overproduction crisis, the public opinion base of the "Chinese priority" and "friendliness to the East Song Dynasty" that was originally widely shaved.

After all, there was an industrial revolution in the East Song Dynasty, just like the big week!

The industrial revolution also strengthened the competitiveness and production of East Song products.So the East Song has now become a competitor of the big week, what more than the competitors of the big week of capitalists hate?

The industrial products of the big week should be exclusive to the American market!

No, not only the Americas, but also the markets of Europe, the West and the geranium should belong to the big week... what is the priority of Huaxia is a mistake!

In fact, the "China priority" policy put forward by Wu Guocheng more than 100 years ago is a very shrewd calculation.On the one hand, this policy helps to cultivate the pro-weekly factions in the East and West Song countries; on the other hand, this policy can compete with the East Song for population resources.

In the Middle Ages, the population was a very valuable resource!

Because the Republic of Great Weeks unilaterally opened up the American colonies to the two Songs, the two Song Han people were welcome to settle in the Americas and give the same treatment as the Zhou people.

So in the past two hundred years, a large number of East Song people have moved to the Americas and the three provinces of Japan - because the three Japanese provinces are the throat to the Americas, so the East Song immigrants and merchants also went to the Americas through Japan, some of which settled in Japan.

In other words, through the "China First" policy, the Great Zhou Republic successfully attracted a large number of East and Song people, and accelerated the development of the Americas.

At present, the population of the big week can be the same as the sum of the two Songs, and the long-term adherence to the "China priority" policy is inseparable.

Although the "Chinese priority" did not make the two Songs domestic unity, but it overpowered the national strength of the Great Zhou Republic.It also gave East Song a "bird fetall dependence".

Once the supply of bird droppings in the Americas is lost, the crisis in the East Song Dynasty is afraid that it will be greatly intensified, thus losing the strength to resist the attack of the Great Week.

In addition, due to the existence of the vast and rich American colonies, the Great Zhou Republic has spared no effort in developing its maritime power over the past 200 years.

By now, the Navy’s advantage is still very obvious.Whether it is the number of warships, tonnage, firepower, relative to the Eastern Song has obvious advantages.

Therefore, after cutting off the supply of guano manure in the East Song Dynasty, the Republic of Great Weeks can also use the Navy to block the trade routes of the Eastern Song Dynasty.The industrial products of the East Song were forced to withdraw from the international market because they could not be shipped.

Under the persuasion of General Huang Dao'an, Wu Shijie, Su Junwan, and the Minister of the Navy (the Grand Admiral is so powerful that he has the rank of the military department), Wu Yuanlong finally moved his heart and accepted their proposed war plan.And with their support, they were re-elected.

In fact, this program has been prepared for many years, as early as Su Junwan and Wu Shijie as the Grand Zhoulu Navy are convenient, began to secretly plan.

The marriage contract between Wu Yuankai and Princess Anna of Egypt is part of this war plan.

"Fifteenth brother, this is the portrait of Anna... the super-realistic style, the handwriting of Ni."

In the fourth floor of Tianjin's newly completed Führer Palace, Wu Yuanlong, who is in his fifties, is smiling and smiling at a portrait of a beautiful girl from the West, introducing Wu Yuankai, who has just returned to Tianjin.

Princess Anna is indeed a rare beauty, at least in the book of the first big painter of the big week, Ni Bei, with an angelic face.

"The battleship Shenzhou is ready to go at any time."Wu Yuanlong said, "Now it is just the wind, at most three months, you can reach Egypt and become Prince Suez."

Shenzhou is a first-class sail battleship with 110 guns and an empty displacement of up to 55,000 stones.

It is one of the most powerful sailing battleships in the world!

The Grand Zhou Navy currently has 10 Shenzhou-class battleships, in addition to 90 second- and third-class battleships with weak tonnage and weak firepower, as well as a larger number of Class 4, 5 and 6-class ships.

“Fu Fuhrer, are you going to be Prince Suez?”Wu Yuankai asked.

Prince Suez is a special title for the Queen of Egypt.

Wu Yuanlong nodded, “Yes, the Egyptian king is dead!”It is not the princess you are going to marry, but the queen.Congratulations to you!”

“She’s the queen,” Wu Yuankai asked, “so she sent the battleship Shenzhou to send me to Egypt?”

Shenzhou is the most powerful battleship in the world, and it seems to be a little small for sending relatives.

Wu Yuanlong said, “More than the Shenzhou, but also the Republic and the Law of the Covenant.”

“Three first-class battleships?”Wu Yuankai took a cold breath, "Führer, this is going to war?"

Wu Yuanlong shook his head, “I don’t know yet... but I have to prepare for the worst!”

The Song Dynasty's navy in the South China Sea was very strong and had a Nanyang fleet, which could be intercepted.We also need to strengthen the South Asia Fleet.After completing the escort mission, the Shenzhou, Republic and Jofa ships will join the Nanyang Fleet.”

The navy of the Eastern Song Dynasty has always been able to compete with the Republic of Great Weeks, and the East Song Navy currently has six first-class battleships and 60 second- and third-class battleships.It is the second largest maritime power in the world after the Grand Admiral!

Although the strength of the Eastern Song Navy is only 66% of the size of the Grand Zhou Navy.However, the Eastern Song Navy was relatively concentrated, only the two large fleets of the local fleet and the South China Ocean Fleet, and a Western Squadron attached to the Southern Fleet.

The Grand Zhou Navy has four large fleets, including the Home Fleet, the Great Eastern Fleet, the Atlantic Fleet and the South China Fleet.In addition, it also has a small Western Squadron, which belongs to the South Ocean Fleet, so its strength is relatively scattered.

Among them, the Great Zhou Nanyang Fleet is surrounded by the powerful Eastern Song South Fleet, and the situation is more dangerous - although they are all Nanyang Fleet, the importance is not the same at all.The Southern Fleet of the Eastern Song Dynasty was responsible for the task of defending the new royal territory of Song, so it was the main force of the Eastern Song Navy.The Southern Ocean Fleet of the Grand Zhou Navy is the weakest of the four fleets, and there is no first-class battleship.

In addition to the transfer of three first-class battleships from the mainland to the South Ocean.The Admiralty of Da Zhou also issued a transfer order to several first-class battleships deployed in the Great Eastern and Atlantic Oceans - seven first-class battleships will all be concentrated in the naval base of the local fleet in Fort Sase, Kyushu Province, ready to enter the blockade of the eastern Song coastline!

And these displacement in the 14th century, has been a very huge first-class sail battleship every move, but also the East Song Dynasty is very concerned.

Therefore, under the escort of two dozen Shenzhou-class battleships, two, four, five and six, the intelligence of the southern part of Tianjin Port was reported to the Song Dynasty in the first time.

The three Shenzhou-class southward, in the view of the East Song Army and the Navy, is undoubtedly a very obvious war preparation operation.

If they were allowed to reach the South China Sea, the naval superiority of the Eastern Song in the South would be offset—the Southern Fleet of the Eastern Song was only three first-class battleships.

Moreover, it is impossible for the Eastern Song Dynasty to transfer any of the three first-class battleships stationed on the mainland to the South Ocean... so a very difficult role has been placed in front of the East Song Dynasty.
