At this time, Saxony.
On one side, the King of Saxony convened an emergency meeting to discuss the conditions proposed by Long Yan and whether their plan was feasible.
On the other side, Li Hongtian traveled around Saxony without any scruples, without caring about the opinions of the King of Saxony.
at the meeting.
The King of Saxony looked at the ministers and said solemnly: "Now is the time of life and death for our Saxony. You should fulfill your responsibility for our great Kingdom of Saxony."
All the courtiers were silent.
Whether it's war or peace, it's not a good idea.
Their Saxon troops had been maimed and crippled by the Longyan Army in the Dresden War, and had no more strength to fight against the Longyan Army.
Not only that, since Dresden was destroyed, Saxony's economic situation has declined very seriously, and they don't have much food in storage.
Now Saxons are running around every day to fill their stomachs, and uprisings have even broken out in some places.
Saxony is already in a state of internal and external troubles.
If you still have to fight to the death with Long Yanguo in such a state.
They simply cannot resist the Long Yan Army and will definitely be broken into the imperial capital by the Long Yan Army's cavalry.
When the time comes, they, the princes and nobles of Saxony, will be the first to be unlucky.
History has described in great detail what these losers went through after the imperial city was broken by the enemy. What awaited them would definitely be a great purge.
Under this great purge, these people will definitely die.
But if they sue for peace, Long Yan's army will cause a devastating blow to Saxony. If they accept such conditions, wouldn't it be equivalent to selling the country to Long Yan.
This is absolutely unacceptable to most Saxons.
At that time, there will be a lot of abuse in the country, and it may even trigger a war.
At that time, the consequences will be completely unimaginable.
People like them will also become the target of public criticism. They also know full well what kind of punishment the rebels will impose on such traitors.
But for Saxony now, there are only two ways in front of it, either to fight or to make peace. There is no second way to choose.
"Your Majesty, whether you are the leader of war or the leader of peace, it is extremely disadvantageous for us."
The King of Saxony said: "We neither advocate war nor peace, so what do you mean?"
The Prime Minister of Saxony took a step forward with slight hesitation and said: "I believe that war is absolutely necessary and we can negotiate for peace, but we absolutely cannot agree to such conditions."
"If Long Yan controls our diplomacy and military power, then we princes and ministers are nothing."
"We can compensate, but at least the military power must not be ceded."
"At least that's it."
Diplomatic power and military power are the foundation of a country. If they are given away, Saxony will become more like a puppet.
This will also make Saxony's resistance less vocal, at least they will not be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
The King of Saxony pondered for a moment and looked at the Prime Minister: "What are our bargaining chips? Why did the Longyan people agree to our request?"
"Prime Minister, do you think that given our current situation, it is possible for the Longyan people to make concessions?"
The Prime Minister fell silent, and all the ministers fell silent.
They all know what the consequences will be.
The Prime Minister looked up at the King of Saxony and said in a deep voice: "Frederick II invaded Saxony before, and Prussia also wanted our part of the country."
"If we tell Prussia that the Dragon Flame Army controls Saxony, something will happen between the two allies. At least there will be some unhappiness."
“That’s when our chance in Saxony comes.”
A flash of light flashed in the King of Saxony's eyes: "This is a good proposal."
Before the King of Saxony could be happy for a few minutes, the Prime Minister said coldly: "But what can Prussia do to Long Yan in its current state?"
"Prussia, at least in the short term, does not have the strength to confront Long Yan."
The King of Saxony sighed: "But this is also the best choice now. We have no other choice except to surrender to Dragon Flame."
"Tell Li Hongtian that we can discuss with Long Yan."
The King of Saxony looked up at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, starting from today we will move forward with a heavy load."
…
At this time, Europe, Austrian port.
Winter is coming to an end soon and the temperatures are starting to warm up.
Liu Zheng looked at the huge map of Europe and thought about how to continue on the next road.
Saxony has become something in Long Yan's hands. After Long Yan's army settles in Saxony, it will have a huge impact on the situation on the battlefield.
The Longyan Army can directly assist Prussia through Saxony in the future.
Longyan even launched attacks directly from Saxony to other countries on the European continent.
But this is far from Liu Zheng's goal of conquering Europe.
Europeans wanted to unify Europe centuries ago, and it was not without establishing powerful empires, such as the Holy Roman Empire.
Although the Holy Roman Empire still exists, it is controlled by the Habsburg Dynasty.
But in fact, the princes had long been divided, and the Habsburg dynasty only ruled a few princely states. Although there were canonizations by successive popes, other kings also had canonizations by successive popes.
Especially a long time ago, because of Pepin's donation of soil, the Pope established the Papal State, which represented both heavenly power and human power.
At the height of its power, the Holy Roman Empire had been divided into countless countries.
In addition, the papal enfeoffment of Europe, which was not a big country in the first place, was even more broken into pieces, just like the potato chips in Liu Zheng's memory.
If you want to conquer such a chaotic Europe and establish a country geographically, there are not many problems.
However, the conflicts between various ethnic groups will eventually tear the country apart and return to its original appearance.
This is also a big trouble for Long Yan.
Therefore, instead of directly conquering Europe geographically, Liu Zheng is more like making Europe their back garden of Long Yan.
The British Industrial Revolution did not last long, but a lot of talents emerged. Now Britain still controls most of the colonies in the world. You can imagine how powerful this country is.
If such a powerful country is used by Long Yan, Long Yan's strength will inevitably improve by leaps and bounds.
To achieve such an effect, it must be a contest in multiple directions.
Whether it is culturally, economically, or militarily.
This is an all-out war.
Liu Zheng withdrew his gaze. It was not only Europe, but also America and Africa. These two places were also battlefields that Long Yan needed to fight for.
