Favors must be repaid, especially at the request of the creditor.
For William III, it was his turn to repay the debt of gratitude owed to his father, William II.
Especially after moving to the Eastern world, the relationship between the Netherlands and France was not as close as before because they were separated by Austria and Prussia.
On the contrary, because it was adjacent to the Nanyang region of the Ming Empire, Shuangfa's economic and trade exchanges were closer, and Dutch goods were easier to sell to the Far East region of the Ming Empire's homeland.
Regarding Zhu Cihong's request for the Dutch navy to go south to support Huang Ting's ships, William III could only agree to come after seeing that the Ming Empire suppressed the rebellion and won repeated battles.
If the situation were just the opposite, and the Ming Empire had no time to take care of itself, William III would have reason to intervene.
Now that the Ming Empire is still the world's hegemon, and its vitality has not been seriously damaged, he can only repay his father's debt of gratitude.
The lineup of four medium-sized aircraft carriers, four battleships, six cruisers, and twelve destroyers is quite large.
But it is still better than Prussia's symbolic sending of one battleship, two cruisers, and four destroyers.
What's even more funny is that the Korean fleet, which was originally scared by Li Zhen's fleet and ran to the Bohai Sea, also participated in this expedition.
In order to repay the Ming Emperor for saving the country, Che Zaizhen ordered all warships that could reach Australia to participate.
However, there are only two battleships and four cruisers in total. The rest of the ships are too old and may break down halfway.
Since both French West Africa and French India were defeated by Zhu Cixiang with nuclear weapons, Louis XIV was also willing to send the French main fleet to help.
Four medium-sized aircraft carriers, six battleships, six cruisers, and twenty destroyers can be regarded as the leaders among the fleets of all countries.
The combined fleets of France, the Netherlands, Prussia, and South Korea have a total of eight aircraft carriers, 13 battleships, 18 cruisers, and 36 destroyers.
The scale looks very objective, but in fact the air defense capability is very weak. Only some French and Dutch battleships are equipped with the Aegis air defense system.
The rest of the warships have to rely on short-range missiles and Phalanx formations for air defense. This means that these warships have the ability to fight back when the opponent's anti-ship missiles are about to hit them in the face.
For things like Prussia and South Korea, there is no need to develop ocean-going fleets. Installing the Aegis system seems a bit redundant, and the purchase price of the system itself is very high.
At present, there are only five navies left that still have the capability of ocean warfare: Ming Dynasty, France, the Netherlands, India, and Austria. At most, plus the supernumerary Fujian, even the Swedish Navy is an offshore fleet.
These guys were used to receiving bonuses from the Ming Emperor, and now they want to return the favor. Only Che Zaizhen is sincere, while the other three heads of state are reluctant.
Without the full support of the Ming Emperor, Che Zaizhen's cabinet would not be able to last even one year, and it would be doomed...
In Zhu Cihong's eyes, the four-nation combined fleet is used as cannon fodder. In terms of positioning, there is no suspense at all.
"This... I'm afraid that Zheng and Zhao will be occupied by Japanese troops!"
Huang Ting was shocked when he heard his master's order asking his fleet to stop attacking, and wanted to argue with him.
"No need to worry, I have ordered the two countries to retreat to the mountainous area. The winner can be decided in a week at most!"
As the war in Africa is coming to an end, Zhu Cixiang has made overall arrangements. This is a sure thing.
"...I obey your order!"
Even though Huang Ting was unwilling to do so, he still had to carry out his master's orders.
"Do you find it incomprehensible? Let me tell you, the reason is very simple. The war in Africa is almost over. The fleets of Jiexuan and Zheng Chenggong are crossing the Indian Ocean to aid Australia, and the combined fleets of France, the Netherlands, Prussia, and South Korea have arrived in the Coral Sea. Now. If we fight, we only have a 30% chance of winning at most. If we start fighting in five days, the chance of winning will be no less than 70%!"
"Respect the wise teacher!"
Huang Ting felt relieved now. He was not afraid of anyone coming to take credit from him, because the only people in the navy who could lead the fleet were those few people who had a good relationship with him.
I was afraid that even the combined fleet of my own fleet and the Inca fleet could not defeat the Japanese fleet. It would be a huge loss. Not only would I lose face, but my master would also be unable to explain to the Inca emperor.
Zhu Cixiang had to admit that the previous huge investment was indeed not in vain. Although the payback cycle was very long, it really took ten years to achieve victory with one blow!
West Africa, East Africa, Central Africa, Japan, India, South Korea, Kamchatka, and Hawaii were all wiped out by nuclear bombs. It was really exciting!
Except for the Czech gift pack, the rest of the gift packs were obtained through nuclear bombing.
No one has ever accused me of abusing nuclear weapons. This feeling is so satisfying!
For the two islands of New Zealand, a certain emperor did not intend to do this.
The number of nuclear bombs dropped is too small, and it may not be possible to pack away the Japanese fleet.
If too many nuclear bombs are dropped, New Zealand may not be able to live in the future.
When the objective conditions are relatively sufficient, it is better to use conventional methods to solve the problem.
Among the first batch of twenty gift packages, including the Spanish gift package that he just received, Zhu Cixiang has already obtained eleven of them.
Poirot got the Argentina gift package, Zheng Chenggong got the South Africa gift package, and Ibrahim got the Hungarian and Romania gift packages.
According to the information Zhu Cixiang has, there are only five big gift packages in the world: Israel, Persia, Japan, Croatia, and Serbia.
Ibrahim was unwilling to give up the two gift packages in the Balkans and still wanted to eat them himself. Zhu Cixiang didn't care about this.
Anyway, Austrian North Africa and the Middle East have already suffered enough disasters from Israel, Persia and other countries. Maybe two more gift packages can compensate for Ibrahim's losses.
In addition to the Japanese country, Zhu Cixiang wanted to see if Ibrahim had the appetite to eat the remaining four gift packages alone.
Judging from the information provided by old friends and the images from the Ming Dynasty reconnaissance satellite, Zhu Cixi believed that the Israeli air defense system was relatively good, and the other things were just that.
Both the "Kub" and "Lion" fighter jets are inferior to the "Typhoon" and KF-16, let alone the standard fourth-and-a-half-generation fighter KF-21.
The "Merkava"-4 main battle tank is well-known, but the K-2, "Challenger"-3, and "Leopard" II-E are also very powerful, and their overall combat effectiveness slightly exceeds the former.
Facing the huge Ottoman fleet, the Israeli Navy's missile boat force is a joke, otherwise it would not be wiped out by the Ottoman fleet in a short time.
Zhu Cixiang believes that Ibrahim’s strength will not be close to or even surpass his own even if he has eaten the five gift packages of Hungary, Romania, Israel, Croatia, and Serbia.
Because the soldiers summoned by these five gift packages are not from their own tribe, and there are only a few types of naval and air force equipment, they are completely unable to threaten the Ming Empire's sea control.
Ibrahim summoned a bunch of main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, wheeled armored vehicles, rocket launchers, etc. with incompatible parts, which would put a certain burden on its logistics.
Zheng Chenggong, a disciple of a certain emperor, decided to give up the Spanish gift package because of this consideration. With "Leopard II-E", "Horn" MK2, and his own "Tiger", Zheng Junguang only had three main battle tanks.
However, Fujian only controls central and southern Africa, and if there are no strong enemies in the north, it will be enough to keep two main battle tanks at most, and any more will be a complete burden.
Zheng Jun's logistics system was built around the standard equipment of the Ming Dynasty King Division, whether it was complete vehicles, parts, supporting ammunition or production lines.
The South African gift package including the "Horn" MK2 has already made Zheng Chenggong worried about supporting ammunition. If you add the Spanish gift package, it will be completely overwhelming.
His respected master gave him a lot of help and support. As a disciple, Zheng Chenggong certainly had to reciprocate the favor.
If you naively think that you can defeat the Spaniards on your own, it means that your life for the past hundred years has been in vain.
In view of the disciple's very filial piety, a certain respected master was willing to help his disciple set up production lines for 105mm tank shells, 155mm grenades, 40mm grenades, 5.56mm and 7.65mm bullets free of charge.
Even rifle production lines can be given to disciples for free, and production lines for imitations such as AR-15, HK-416, AK-12, HK417, and M110 can be chosen at will.
To be fair, no matter how bad the quality of Kimchi's imitation light weapons is, they are still better than the Ming Dynasty standard weapons of this era, not to mention their extremely beautiful appearance.
Zhu Cixiang has already planned to let the troops try out the STC-16 assault rifle imitating the HK-416. If they get good support, they will start to replace this weapon in batches.
As long as the Spanish gift package is valid, it will send its disciples 500 A400M tactical transport aircraft, 1,000 "Typhoon" fighter jets, 1,000 NH90 medium-sized helicopters, 4 "Juan Carlos I" class amphibious assault ships, 8 " Galicia" class dock landing ship and 16 "Bazin" class Aegis destroyers.
For the relatively weak naval and air force equipment in the South African gift package, a certain respected master would patch it for his disciples, and it would be completely free of charge.
These Spanish equipment, plus the South African gift package in Zheng Chenggong's hand, are enough to make Fujian the overlord of Africa.
Whether it was the Ottomans or the French, their military garrisons in Africa were far inferior to the size and equipment of Zheng's army.
It can be said that Fujian occupies the best place in Africa. Except for the desert in the southwest, the environment in other places is much better than that of the Sahara Desert.
With agricultural harvests, industrial development, scientific and technological progress, and economic boom, it is no problem to support one or two million modern troops.
Calculated based on area and population, the total strength of the Fujian armed forces cannot be less than two million, otherwise it will be impossible to effectively control such a large territory.
After the war is completely over, the Greater Congo area that originally belonged to Britain, Spain, Portugal, and Russia will also be assigned to Zheng Chenggong as a war bonus. Ibrahim and Louis XIV will not object to this.
This unprecedentedly fierce war has proven that it is no longer necessary to continue to maintain this buffer area. It will only cause great threats and losses to everyone. It is better to incorporate it into the territory of Fujian for management.
After the war, the area of Fujian was equivalent to more than half of Europe. Two million troops in the latter was not too much, so the former naturally had to have so many troops, not to mention that there were many black people in various parts of Fujian.
These black people are engaged in manual labor, which is a demographic dividend for Fujian, but during wartime, they are unknown factors and completely uncontrollable.
Through this lesson, everyone in the Zheng family also realized this problem.
In addition to letting the black female soldiers from the big gift package be responsible for this matter, the daily patrol force must also be increased.
Regarding the distress of his disciples, a certain respected master had a solution.
The method is very simple, just let them have fewer and better students...
A certain disciple was overjoyed when he heard this. This move was indeed a plan to draw out the firepower!
Based on the population ratio, Zheng Chenggong believed that the total number of black people should not exceed 20% of the total population of Fujian.
Because there will be Spanish and Portuguese people in Fujian in the future, the total number of these three gangs will be too large, which will be a huge hidden danger to Fujian.
It is best to control the total population of the three gangs within 20%, and only have one foreigner for every five people. This is safer.
A certain respected master also agrees with this ratio. It remains to be seen whether it can be discounted when implemented...
However, Zheng Chenggong did not want the northern border of Fujian to border Louis XIV's territory, and there were many British, Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese people in the Congo area, which made management very troublesome.
The final result was that a certain master took over. The western and Portuguese-inhabited areas south of the Congo River were assigned to the Fujian Kingdom, and the British-Russian inhabited areas to the north were assigned to the Ming Empire and were directly managed by the imperial court.
The dividing line between the two sides is particularly easy to identify, namely the famous Congo River and the Great Rift Valley.
Ibrahim and Louis XIV, who had benefited from the nuclear bomb, agreed to this plan and were willing to maintain the pre-war border positions between French West Africa and Austrian North and East Africa.
Because it spans the middle of Africa, East Africa has also become Africa. The territory is in the shape of an arch, which is a C shape buckled on the ground!
It separated the Ottomans and France, which played a very good role in protecting Fujian.
However, what Zhu Cihong will photograph will be a small number of Ming Dynasty troops and a large number of 40K female soldiers from Britain, Russia and the West!
Most of the local black people will be shipped to other continents for mining, and the local area in northern Congo must be kept in a state of absolute security.
Zhu Cixi no longer plans to drop nuclear bombs in Africa. Places with three or even four crops a year and mineral resources must be fully utilized.
Mining in Congo does not require a large number of slaves. Instead of hiring security guards to manage them, it is better to directly purchase a large amount of mechanized equipment.
The construction machinery redeemed from the kimchi gift package can be shipped to Africa, just in time to develop the Greater Congo area with his disciples.
During the war in Africa, the Ming Empire and the Fujian Kingdom suffered considerable losses, and they had to mine to make up for it.
For Louis XIV and Ibrahim, Zhu Cixi dropped nuclear bombs for free to help them eliminate rebels in East and West Africa.
These two people should not even think about using nuclear pollution as an excuse to ask Zhu Cihong for money after the war. It was agreed in advance that each would get what he needed.
Zhu Cixiang got two big gift packages, and they were able to successfully regain their lost ground.
I think it's easy to handle losses, so why not ask Zhu Cixi for help in the future?
Louis XIV didn't know where he got the news, and he learned that both Ibrahim and Poirot had received large gift packages.
So he asked Zhu Cixi to give him half of the Indian gift package because he had suffered huge losses in French India and French West Africa.
You don’t need the West African ones, but you must have the Indian ones.
The French navy's fleet stationed in West Africa was not large, and its fleet stationed in India was not small, but it was still destroyed by the regiment...
