Europe has no secrets.

The news that the empire wanted to unite with Europe to build a canal spread quickly.

When the Ottomans learned about it, their hearts immediately turned cold, and at the same time they felt deeply remorseful.

You said that this place has been occupied for almost a thousand years, why didn't you think of building a canal?

How much less does this cost?
They are more aware of the stimulating effect of this incident on European countries.

The Ottomans couldn't sit still, and immediately began to launch a diplomatic offensive in Europe.

I can talk too, and I can build canals too!

However, European countries simply cannot listen to it.

What is your identity?
Why are you building canals?
The perception of the Ottoman Empire and European countries is still very clear.

This is an extremely backward and conservative religious country, and it is full of hostility to Europe.Cooperating with such a person is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.

Besides, even if the Ottoman Empire is really willing to build a canal, what's the use?

The strength of the imperial navy is there. If you dare to do this kind of thing without the empire, even if the canal is built, it will be a display.

In this matter, European countries are very transparent.

While clamoring for the benefits of the Suez Canal at home, they began to expand their armaments.

Ottoman Empire, die!
The diplomacy of the Ottomans suffered a huge setback and finally understood the seriousness of the situation.Mohammed IV ordered Soleimani to withdraw his troops from Morocco.

This has been fought back and forth for almost two years, and even the trenches outside Casablanca have not been captured.Ottoman killed and injured more than [-] people under this city, which can be described as traumatic.

Now it is not a matter of whether the empire can be driven out of North Africa, but how to stop the offensive of the empire and the European coalition forces against the Ottoman Empire.

Rotterdam.

The establishment of the joint company went smoothly, and all European countries invested in the shares.

In the end, the start-up capital of 700 million imperial dollars was raised, which was enough to start the construction of the canal.

In addition, the incident caused a stir in the stock market in Rotterdam.

Many wealthy people waved their money to enter the market and subscribed for the shares of the joint company.

This caused the stock of the joint company to rise wildly, and it doubled three hundred times in just six months, which also made the market value of the joint company inflated to become a giant.

In the end, Liao Zhongjian's secretary, Li Erke, was appointed as the CEO of the joint company, fully responsible for the operation of the joint company.

The company's headquarters is temporarily set up in Rotterdam, temporarily conducting financial business.

After the canal is started, it will be relocated there.

In the case of the canal, European countries have achieved a rare unification, and have abandoned previous disputes.

Countries have contributed money to send troops, making the scale of the coalition army very impressive.

The commander of the ocean-going fleet is still gratifying to be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the joint fleet, and the French commander-in-chief, Duke Pinet Luxembourg, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the joint army.

The land coalition forces are divided into two parts, one part is assembled in Munich, and will attack the Ottoman Empire from Vienna on the northern line;

The southern line assembled in Milan and attacked the Balkans under the cover of the combined navy.

It is estimated that it will take two to three years to drive the Ottoman Empire out of Europe.

On the North African side, with the withdrawal of Soleimani, the pressure on the No.19 regiment was lightened.

After being convinced that the Ottoman army was gone, the No.19 regiment resumed its offensive against the Moroccan native forces.

Europe has begun to change vigorously, and Zuo Menggeng has also arrived at the time of the return journey.

The territory of the empire is so large that it took him more than three years to go on this tour.

But the result is also gratifying.

Despite his footsteps, Western Frontiers, Western Regions, and Central Asia all quickly stabilized after the war.

With him as the backbone, the governance of these places by the government and the army can be described as drastic and full of strength.

Seeing that the Western Regions had completely settled down, Zuo Menggeng felt relieved.

Instead of meeting Zuo Xuanyan, he wrote a letter to his daughter, encouraging her to lead the army in battle.

After annihilating the Bukhara Khanate, Zuo Xuanyan has led his army northward, aiming at the Kazakh Khanate.

Judging from the situation, the elimination of the Kazakh Khanate is just around the corner.

After all, the Kazakh Khanate has long been hit by the northern strategic cluster and is in a precarious state.With the addition of the Northwest Strategic Cluster, this loose khanate could not resist at all.

"The current war in Annan has stabilized, and there are still some sporadic resistances in various places, but they are not successful. The implementation of the policy is very smooth, and it has won the support of the Annan people. The central government has decided to establish a province in Annan. The provincial government has several options. They Seeking your opinion."

On the way back, Long Zuguang performed his duties and reported various affairs to Zuo Menggeng.

Although Zuo Menggeng, the emperor, doesn't care about administration, he still needs to nod in major matters.

For example, when Annan wanted to establish a province, there were differences in the choice of the provincial government.

Someone proposed to be located in Hanoi, and someone proposed to be located in Hue.

There are good reasons to propose Hanoi.

Hanoi is located in the Red River Plain, rich in products, and close to Guangxi, can get strong support.

Proposals for Hue are not far behind.

Hue was originally the old nest of the Zheng family and the seat of King Annan. It has been developed for a long time and the conditions are very mature.

The establishment of the provincial government here can also suppress the voices of resistance.

But Zuo Menggeng doesn't see it that way.

"The best place is Champa. Temasek needs support and cannot be alone."

He immediately jumped out of the small scope of Annan, but focused on the entire Southeast Asia.

In addition to the empire's recovery of Annan, Temasek is also a top priority.

However, Temasek's territory is small and there is limited room for strategic maneuvering. It must obtain strong support to gain a foothold.

Putting the Annan Provincial Government in Champa is like driving another nail into Nanyang, and it will take care of each other with Temasek.

"After taking down the Kazakh Khanate, warn the Northwest Strategic Cluster and the Northern Strategic Cluster to slow down for the time being and not to go west blindly. Observe the effectiveness of Liangyue and then formulate a reasonable plan."

Zuo Menggeng told Long Zuguang the words, and specially instructed him.

"Warning them, don't underestimate Russia. Although this country has a lot of hips in war, it is also full of resilience when it is stretched. It is not so easy to be determined."

No one knows Russia better than him.

Speaking of Russia, there are strong voices of praise and derogation.

The praise thinks that Russia is very powerful. After all, the top ten have embezzled so much Chinese land, and China has been suppressed for a long time, and it has left many glorious chapters in the history of world wars.

Those who depreciate think that the Russians are rough, and their performance on the battlefield is very bad, and there are often large casualties.

Only Zuo Menggeng could see clearly.

In Russia, hip pulling is consistent.

Lose, lose very hip;
Win, win is also very hip.

In short, this country will never have such a happy victory and defeat in the war.It's more like Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death, easy to fight, but difficult to deal with.

He didn't want the generals below to underestimate the difficulty and cause immeasurable consequences.
