At this time, Europe.
At the behest of the Pope.
Countries under the control of the Habsburg dynasty: Italy, Spain and other countries participated in the anti-Prussian alliance.
The strength of the Franco-Austrian-Russian alliance further strengthened.
But as Liu Zheng predicted, although the countries controlled by the Habsburg family chose to join this war, they still maintained a fairly restrained strategic plan.
As if just as agreed, no war broke out in a short period of time.
In this way, Long Yan has the opportunity to expand.
The railway built by Austria from the seaport to Prague is nearing completion, and the Longyan troops will enter Saxony from Prague.
At the same time, according to the formulated plan.
Long Yan will launch large-scale commercial activities in Europe, and first occupy the European market before occupying Europe.
Longyan's products will fill every aspect of Europeans' lives.
Britain issued a new monetary policy, using gold as the base value of the currency.
Use gold as security.
After the merchants who came to Britain from Longyan to do business heard about this, they exchanged all the British currency they received for equivalent gold before leaving.
After returning to Longyan, he exchanged money and made a fortune.
Such behavior would essentially be unacceptable and would drain the British gold reserves and collapse the monetary system.
However, such an aboveboard method is reasonable and can be implemented under British policy.
This is a loophole in their policy.
On the other side of Europe, Tsarist Russia got their successor.
Little Peter finally came to Moscow.
For him, the person who will inherit the throne of Tsarist Russia in the future is so unfamiliar with everything here.
His mother died very early, and his influence on Tsarist Russia only exists in stories.
As the heir to Tsarist Russia, he didn't even understand a word of Russian.
Elizabeth led her sister's son to her meeting house.
Little Peter looked at everything in front of him nervously.
"See Her Majesty the Queen."
"See Her Majesty the Queen."
Elizabeth I smiled and nodded. He glanced at all the congressmen who had arrived except Naresh who was still on the front line.
"I called you here today just to introduce to you that the young man next to me will be my successor."
"He is the grandson of my father, Peter the Great, and has the qualifications."
Everyone watched as little Peter hid behind Elizabeth I and secretly looked at them.
Seeing this move, everyone sighed inwardly. They had strong opinions on the successor chosen by Elizabeth I.
This child looks very weak and does not have a strong body.
And according to the intelligence they got from Sweden, little Peter had no merit at all except for his military talents that were superior to ordinary people.
Other than that, they are all shortcomings. He is timid and cowardly. Even if the teacher who teaches him is louder, he can scare him into a corner.
Due to the majesty of Elizabeth I, everyone still smiled in return. They saluted and said: "See Your Highness Little Peter."
Little Peter was still hiding behind Elizabeth I, watching them.
Elizabeth I knelt down affectionately, looked at little Peter with a smile, put her hand on his nervous face, and said in German: "Dear Peter, although this may happen too fast for you."
"You just escaped from Prussia, and here you are."
"But you shouldn't be afraid. Your mother grew up here, and so did I. What you will inherit is your grandfather's position."
"You should be stronger and go see your future ministers."
Elizabeth I encouraged little Peter to come forward, and he looked at the congressmen with great respect.
They were all waiting quietly for his opening.
Elizabeth I echoed: "You should return the favor without saying anything and treat it as a small matter."
"A small thing that you will take for granted in the future."
Little Peter's eyes were no longer so flustered. He seemed to think carefully before nodding, and then just as Elizabeth I said.
He bowed slightly and returned the greeting to show respect.
Elizabeth I looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Dolgoruky, His Royal Highness Peter has just returned from Sweden. He is not familiar with the history of Tsarist Russia and even the Russian language. I need you to teach him all this personally."
"Please be sure to train him into a qualified heir."
Dolgoruky came out and solemnly said: "I will obey your Majesty's order."
Elizabeth I was temporarily relieved about Xiao Bie's matter, but suddenly suffered a violent cough.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Elizabeth felt extremely uncomfortable, as if her lungs had come out of her body.
"Go get the doctor!"
Seeing this, Osilev hurriedly stepped forward to help Elizabeth I. He said anxiously: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself. In order to pick up His Royal Highness Little Peter, it would be too much for you to go to Sweden in person."
Elizabeth I waved her hand to indicate that there was nothing wrong with her health.
"It's okay. Little Peter is my sister's daughter. I haven't seen him for a long time, so that's how it should be."
"It's just a trip to Sweden, there's nothing wrong with that."
Others also expressed persuasion: "Your Majesty should ensure your health..."
Elizabeth I smiled, shook off Osilev's support, and said, "It's okay, I know what's going on with my body."
"Since everyone is here, let's also discuss little Peter's marriage."
"Although he is young, members of the royal family can't do it now. I don't have that ability anymore, but he can."
"What do you think of little Peter's marriage?"
Seeing that Elizabeth I continued to persist, everyone had no choice but to say: "We will definitely try our best to arrange it."
"In the next few days, we will select suitable candidates and report them to His Majesty."
Elizabeth I nodded. Her purpose of asking Peter to get married as soon as possible was to win over the nobles and parliamentarians.
Bound to little Peter through marriage.
Her physical condition is no longer as good as before. Little Peter has just arrived in Tsarist Russia and has no foundation.
If something unexpected happened to me, at least the power would be smoothly handed over to the Peter family.
"What are the developments in Europe during my absence?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, there is no movement now. European countries have suffered too much damage in this winter melee. Now they are opening up trade and cultivating business."
"The British took the opportunity to enter the European continent market, and the Longyan people also have ideas for the European market."
"These two companies are engaged in a price war. We pretended to be Austrian businessmen and made a lot of profits from it."
"However, Britain recently introduced a new monetary policy, using gold as the basis of the value of its national currency, which is not friendly to us."
"Our currency in Tsarist Russia has always used food as the basis of value."
