The Prussians might speak French, and perhaps Lucian.
But most French people don’t know Russian, and people in Lucia have stopped learning French a long time ago. Their first foreign language is Daming Yayan.
But as long as they are in the upper echelons, most of them know some elegant words and correct pronunciation, and can do basic communication.
Therefore, when people from multiple countries chat, they can basically only use Daming Yayan.
Napoleon Bonaparte wore a French military uniform, but wore a Ming-style fox fur cloak.
This thirty-six-year-old genius general now habitually puts one hand in his pocket.
Looking at the two foreign generals who had worked together for a short time, their expressions were calm and somewhat regretful, and they said something that seemed very emotional:
"After we return home this time, the next time we meet will be at the Cape of Good Hope in the south. We will witness the end of this great war together!"
Blücher was wearing a Prussian military uniform, with an Iron Cross on his chest, his beard trembling slightly, and he sighed sincerely:
"It is my sincere hope that... we can witness the arrival of a true era of peace..."
Kutuzov was wearing a thick military coat and long black military boots, and his expression was obviously still worried:
"Although the news in all aspects is not false, it is still hard for me to believe that the war is over like this.
"The goals of both sides have obviously not been achieved. It is difficult for me to believe that this kind of peace can be maintained for a long time..."
Napoleon glanced at Kutuzov and reminded him pointedly:
"Then prepare in advance. The next war will not be like this. We won't have the chance to be so slow..."
Blücher and Kutuzov looked at Napoleon at the same time, subconsciously wanting to hear what this recognized military genius had in mind.
Napoleon didn't make any attempt to hide it, and turned to look at the distant east:
"If the number of armored vehicles on the battlefield increases and their speed increases, the existing defense methods will become vulnerable..."
Kutuzov nodded thoughtfully:
"We are really lucky that Ming Dynasty is willing to accept peace talks at this time..."
Napoleon waved his hand violently and said:
"No, this is not a fluke. Ming Dynasty has these weapons, but these weapons are not yet mature, so they can accept the proposal of armistice.
"They need time to mature these weapons and tactics, and then when the next war comes, it will be thunderous..."
As Napoleon spoke, his eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Kutuzov:
"So Lucia is very dangerous..."
Listening to Napoleon's warning, Kutuzov's expression became even more ugly.
The feeling of being on the front line against the Ming Dynasty is already very uncomfortable. Now that you say it so directly, it makes it even more uncomfortable.
So are you reminding Lucia that although the anti-Ming war is temporarily over, you should continue to maintain an alliance with France?
There happens to be Prussia between us. This country, which is ambitious and wants to become a "violent Qin", obviously needs to be on guard against it.
There is also the need to maintain relations with the British. They are Ming's competitors at sea, while Lucia and Ming are inseparable opponents on land.
Blücher, who was caught in the middle, seemed to realize the thoughts of the two people around him, frowning and saying nothing.
The anti-Ming alliance war is now finally over, and Prussia has no reason to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty for the time being.
Lucia is facing the threat of the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a good thing for Prussia, which makes Lucia unable to look elsewhere.
It would most likely be a good thing for Prussia if Prussia and the Ming Dynasty could truly have peace.
It can allow Prussia to focus on industrial development and the development of African colonies instead of continuing to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
That was the task of the British and the Lucians.
The existence of Napoleon, a French military genius, was most likely not a good thing for Prussia.
According to the Easterners' strategy of distant relations and close attacks, Prussia should have joined forces with the Ming Dynasty to suppress the Lucians between the two sides.
Or unite with the British and suppress the French between the two sides.
But uniting the British was now unlikely.
The Hanoverian royal family that now rules Britain was born in the Kingdom of Hanover in Germany.
The King of England originally also held the title of King of Hanover.
Previously, Prussia took advantage of the Ming Dynasty's fall out with the British to annex the Kingdom of Hanover by force and unified the German region except Austria.
In other words, the title of King of Hanover was removed from the King of England.
At that time, the British wanted to turn the potential "anti-British alliance" into an open "anti-Ming alliance" and to erect a banner for the unity of the European and Western countries against the Ming Dynasty.
He tried to win over Prussia and France at all costs, but he had to endure this tone and made concessions to France in the Yinzhou colony.
Now the Anti-Ming Alliance and the Ming Dynasty are about to negotiate peace...
No one knows whether the British king will think of Hanover's "hometown" in the future.
Therefore, it should not be easy for Prussia and Britain to completely reconcile, and the possibility of direct conflict should even be considered.
Prussia was sandwiched between other Thai and Western countries. It was neighboring France, Russia, and Austria. They all had territorial conflicts to some extent, and the old grudges were not clear at all.
So now, it seems that apart from Spain and Italy, Prussia's potential allies are only the Ming Dynasty, which is far away.
The Ming Dynasty is too far away. If the European countries target Prussia together, the Ming Dynasty will have no way to directly rescue it.
The three army generals of France, Prussia, and China each had different or even conflicting thoughts from others, and they gradually became unable to talk to each other.
At this time, an orderly came running over and reported that the special carriage for the three of them was ready. The three of them formally said goodbye to each other and followed their respective orderlies into the car.
The three of them had their own special carriages, and they were going to different destinations. They had to switch locomotives midway, and they separated after getting on the train.
Napoleon sat down in his carriage and chose the glutinous rice wine from the East among the French red wine and Shaoxing Zhuangyuan Red provided by the waiter.
Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, the young general fell into deep thought as he looked at the gray sky outside the carriage.
There are already many conflicts between the countries in Europe and the West, and the relationship is even more chaotic than in the East during the Warring States Period.
That is to say, the Ming Dynasty continued to expand for more than a hundred years, especially after industrialization, which directly threatened the countries of Thailand and Spain, so the conflicts in the mainland of Thailand and Spain were slightly reduced.
In the anti-Ming alliance, during the full-scale anti-Ming war, the conflicts between the European and American countries were concealed and tolerated as much as possible.
Now that the anti-Ming war is over, without diplomats who are flexible enough to mediate, various contradictions will soon resurface.
When these conflicts will erupt again and to what extent, no one can predict.
If there is no truly powerful emperor to integrate, by the time the Ming Dynasty is ready for war again, Europe in this state will definitely be completely defeated.
But this so-called great emperor seems to have no chance to appear.
I don’t know how long it took, but the melodious whistle sounded again, and the steam train began to move slowly.
Napoleon drank all the wine in his glass, asked the orderly to help him open a suitcase, and took out several carefully wrapped hardcover books.
It was a set of the original "Historical Records" in hardcover and vertical arrangement of Ming characters published locally in the Ming Dynasty.
Napoleon rummaged through the catalog for a while, and finally found the sentence he had heard in the text "Chen She Family".
"'The prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts!'"
Napoleon squinted his eyes and stared at this line of words, his thoughts developing rapidly.
This truth that Orientals understood two thousand years ago is the real reason why the Zhu Ming Dynasty and the European royal families were able to "understand each other" and end this war.
The so-called equipment needs to be innovated, the war model has changed, and various other reasons, in fact, they can only be regarded as appearances.
The princes and nobles of the East and West were just worried that if the war continued like this, some people would call the princes and generals Xiang Ning a seed.
When Easterners write this sentence openly, is it a good thing or a bad thing for Europeans?
Let the princes and nobles treat the common people a little more restrained, but in turn it will make their rule more stable.
Even the world war that might have shattered the order gradually ceased before the final outcome was decided.
If nothing else happens, after this war ends, their rule will regain stability...
Then they accumulate strength again and fight each other again, and the cycle continues...
Under the example of Emperor Zhu Cihong, the princes and nobles gradually compromised and made peace with the bourgeoisie, giving the bottom class the most basic way to survive.
So in today's world, where is the power we can draw on?

Author's words:
Napoleon was not yet emperor, so according to Tessie tradition he should not be called by his first name, but should be called General Bonaparte.
But this book doesn’t talk about any Thai or Western rules…
Well, actually mainly for everyone's reading habits, the author will directly refer to Napoleon in his narrative.
Napoleon would only use the title General Bonaparte when he was talking to other Thais and when he was called by other Thais.
