Emperor Nicholas I of Lucia and King William III of Prussia were both in Mozhou at this time.
The two are even getting together now.
At the junction of the two Mexican colonies, on the side of the Prussian colony, a city in the mouth of a river flows into the sea.
The original historical city of Calabar, Nigeria, is now renamed New Königsberg.
The rulers of the two countries gathered together and looked at the news coming from the army ahead, feeling very excited and happy.
"It's great, we finally got rid of this annoying group of natives."
"The future is bright for New Germany and New Lucia!"
William was very happy and ordered to send a message to the front line first to commend all generals and soldiers.
A celebratory banquet was then organized, to which Emperor Nicholas was invited.
Nicholas asked his people to send similar messages to the front line, and then happily extended the invitation to the banquet.
Everyone is very happy.
The colonies of Prussia and Lucia were closely adjacent, and the main indigenous enemies in the interior were the same organization.
In order to deal with the indigenous people in the interior, the two sides launched comprehensive military cooperation.
The two sides may have conflicts due to border friction in the future.
But the main goal of both parties now is to develop, rather than compete on existing stocks.
Even if there is competition, it is competition over the exploration of inland areas, rather than disputes over the roughly determined coastal boundaries.
So the current cooperation between the two parties is very pleasant.
Zhu Jingyuan allocated the Mozhou colony to Lucia, which made the Lucia people extremely happy.
That was the original historically German Cameroon, as well as parts of Central Africa and Chad inland Cameroon.
Zhu Jingyuan allocated the Mozhou colony to Prussia, which made the Prussians even more delighted.
Zhu Jingyuan said at the time that there might be coal and oil here, and then the Prussians went to explore and found it.
There is a lack of oil in Prussia itself, but there is oil here!
They also discovered iron ore here! And the taste is very good!
Prussia lacks iron ore, so it happens to be available here!
In fact, this colony would later become Nigeria, with the tenth largest oil reserves in the world.
Although the iron ore is not very large, it is several times that of Germany itself.
This colony directly supplemented the important industrial basic resources that the mainland lacked.
King William III of Prussia made the exciting decision to name this colony New Germany!
This was Zhu Jingyuan's original suggestion.
William III and the court officials all believed from the bottom of their hearts that cooperation with the Ming Dynasty was the most correct choice.
Joining the British anti-Ming alliance was a huge mistake.
Ming Dynasty sold an existing fleet to Prussia, which were all semi-new ships in relatively good condition.
The Ming Dynasty helped Prussia master the operation and maintenance technology of battleships.
Let Prussia have a fleet that can travel between the homeland and the colonies, and can guard the routes to the colonies.
The International Alliance was also organized to establish the Mexican West Coast Port Alliance to open all colonial ports to each other.
It also stipulates the international strait system, so that Britain and France cannot block the English Channel in any name.
In this way, Prussia's sea routes to the colonies were completely open.
Before the World War, Prussia nominally obtained a colony in East Mexico.
But Prussia simply did not have the ability to protect this distant colony, nor did it devote any energy to developing it.
Now the new German colony is truly in Prussia's hands.
In the nearly three years after the war ended, the Prussians devoted almost all their energy to the new Germany.
Large numbers of immigrants were sent to New Germany to cultivate farmland and build cities and ports.
Develop oil fields, build refineries, develop iron mines, and build steel plants.
The entire New German colony was a busy scene.
Of course, Ming Dynasty supported not only Prussia.
Prussia, Lucia, Ottoman, Austria, Italy and other countries with less developed navies all bought ready-made battleships from the Ming Dynasty at very affordable prices.
Although in terms of design, after the dreadnought battleship enters service, these capital ships will become outdated products.
But it is enough to maintain sea routes.
Moreover, Ming Dynasty is also teaching them to design new battleships, and also instructs them to transform old battleships.
As long as they are willing to pay.
What's more, now that the world war is over, the entire world has turned to development and construction.
With the League of Nations as a coordination platform, the powerful countries have no motivation to start wars for the time being.
Now the entire west coast of Mexico, from Monaco to southwest Mexico, is a prosperous and busy scene.
All countries in Europe and the West are concentrating on running their own colonies in Mexico.
Areas close to the coast and relatively mature areas are working hard to open up wasteland and build cities.
In the inland wild areas, there are armies and explorer teams active, discovering and conquering indigenous tribes.
It was extremely difficult for the European and Western countries to deal with the Ming Dynasty, but dealing with the indigenous tribes was just a waste of time.
Including Osman, he also found his former glory here.
Ottomans, Prussians, Lucians, Austrians, and Italians mainly immigrated from the mainland.
The populations that Spain and Portugal withdrew from Yinzhou were directly transferred to Mozhou in batches to build new colonies.
The British transported people from Tianzhu through private traders.
After the war, the mainland countries of Europe and the West quickly entered a state of recovery.
The imperial courts of various countries are reducing production in the military industry and increasing people's livelihood industries.
Retire and rehabilitate a large number of soldiers, and increase the agricultural and industrial labor force.
At the same time, it cooperates with colonial development and alleviates accumulated domestic contradictions.
Although Zhu Jingyuan did not create as many new technologies and industries, the mainland and colonies were not as vast as the Ming Dynasty.
The overall level of prosperity is not as good as today's Ming Dynasty, and it cannot reach the state of burning oil.
But they also present a prosperous scene.
Except for Britain and France.
Britain and France were still fighting a tough battle with Napoleon in Beiyinzhou.
In the evening of that day, the banquet in Neukoenigsberg began. The protagonists of the banquet were of course the rulers of the two countries.
Among those attending the banquet were officials from the colonies of the two countries and senior military officials.
and nobles traveling or wintering in the colonies.
It does not include the canonized indigenous nobles of Mozhou who surrendered.
The Thai and Western nobles despised them for being ugly and smelly.
The two country rulers stood on a high platform in the middle of the banquet hall and jointly announced the victory of the war ahead.
The scene immediately burst into warm applause.
William and Nicholas said a few words each, and then announced that the banquet was about to begin.
The lively music started playing immediately, and the banquet entered into a joyful dance time.
William and Nicholas were about to find a partner to dance when a signal soldier hurried into the banquet hall.
The dance at the scene suddenly paused, and everyone looked at the soldier.
To intrude unexpectedly during a banquet hosted by the king must have been extremely important news.
Everyone, including Nicholas and William, suddenly became nervous.
"There shouldn't be any bad news..."
The signal soldier quickly ran to Nikolai and handed him a telegraph newspaper.
Nicholas read it as quickly as possible, and then sighed softly with a complicated expression.
Then he handed the telegraph newspaper in his hand to William next to him.
After William read it, he was stunned for a few seconds and suddenly laughed:
"This should be considered good news. The boundaries of New Lucia are completely determined. The key is that no direct conflict broke out.
"The next step is to explore and build with ease. There is no need to be anxious anymore."
Of course Nicholas wanted to get more land, and now he directly encountered the Ming Dynasty's exploration team, which was of course a bit regretful.
But what William said makes sense.
At the same time, William III, as the host, held up the telegraph newspaper and said loudly to the crowd below:
“This is exciting news!
"The exploration team of the Lucians and the exploration team of the Ming Dynasty met on the grassland in the middle of the Mozhou continent!
“Both of them set out from the east and west sides of Mozhou Continent respectively, and jointly opened up the passage to Mozhou Continent.
“This is a great thing, something worthy of going down in history.
“Honor belongs to Lucia and the bravest explorers of Ming Dynasty!
“Let’s drink to their feat together!”
A small number of representatives attending the meeting immediately thought of the significance of the encounter between Daming and Lucia, which meant that Lucia's exploration was over.
Lucia, and even the entire western Mexican colony, is expected to come to an end soon.
The entire world's land will also be completely divided.
This is indeed a major event that can be recorded in history, but it may not be a good thing.
The external increment disappears, and in the future it can only be fought for internally.
Although, since the end of the Western Cape Peace Conference, the world has actually been divided up.
However, there is a difference between the carving up on the map and the actual carving up.
It's like the gap between a death sentence and its official execution.
Everyone knew this day would come, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.
But these people are not the majority.
Most ordinary officials and nobles did not think deeply about it immediately.
I just take it for granted that the encounters of explorers from both sides of the continent are indeed exciting news.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately became more enthusiastic.
Everyone went to get their drinks and toasted with William III.
The party continued well into the night.
I scratched my head and wrote until midnight, but couldn't come up with anything, so I'll update these first.
