"Our ambassador to the Great Qin Empire has lodged a protest against the Great Qin Empire's interference in Dahua's internal affairs..." Seeing that Dahua was a vassal state after all, the envoys from the Tang Empire responded to Zhao Yu's request.
In fact, the Tang Empire did protest and asked the Qin Empire to put the interests of both countries first and not to interfere in the civil war in the Kingdom of China.
But the problem is that the so-called protest from the Tang Empire only remained a verbal protest. It had no intention of sanctioning the Qin Empire, nor did it make any more threats.
Therefore, after the Great Qin Empire understood the hints of the Great Tang Empire, they knew the elegant meaning of the strings and continued to secretly support Zhao Jie, going its own way without any restraint.
Anyone with a discerning eye can actually see that the Tang Empire is condoning the expansion of the Qin Empire. This kind of connivance is essentially tempting the Great Qin Empire to play with fire, but the Great Qin Empire that is playing with fire has really benefited.
After swallowing the Shu Kingdom, the Qin Empire can be said to be very powerful. Moreover, it also occupied part of the land of Chu State and had an affair with Zhao Jie.
If the Qin Empire suddenly launched an attack, annexed Chu and the areas controlled by Zhao Jie, and then attacked Dahua, then in theory, Qin's area and population would instantly surpass the Tang Dynasty and become the largest country in the world.
But in fact, when it comes to war potential, the Tang Empire is still the unshakable super existence. It's just that other countries are secretly supporting Qin and expanding Qin's ambitions, hoping that the Western Continent will stage a life-and-death battle in the future.
Once the Qin State and the Tang State go to war, and the two powers fight each other, killing and injuring each other, such a war will inevitably provide valuable development opportunities for other countries in the world.
This is the opportunity that everyone is waiting for. Even if the Tang Empire unified the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent was given time to develop, relying on the vastness of the Endless Sea, the Tang Empire would not be able to get involved in the Eastern Continent.
This is the calculation of the countries in the Eastern Continent. They know that they may not be able to catch up with the Tang Empire. All they want is to narrow the gap and rely on the Endless Sea to prevent the Tang Empire from advancing eastward.
That's why these countries encouraged the Qin Empire and created an illusion for the Qin Empire that they could compete with the Tang Empire.
After all, in the eyes of Qin Emperor Ying Duo, the whole world seemed to be on his side. Once the two countries went to war, these countries would immediately join his camp and form an anti-Tang alliance again.
This time, the anti-Tang alliance will gain an even greater "advantage"! From a strategic point of view, as long as the Great Qin Empire can defeat Chu State, then relying on the ports of Shu State and Chu State, the southern region of the Endless Sea can be connected.
The transport ships sailing from Dorne can reach the Qin State, materials and support will continue to enter the Qin State, and the southern part of the Tang Empire will fall into a bitter war.
As long as the Qin State in the north can withstand the attack of the Tang Empire, everything will be fine! The Tang Empire would be completely exhausted by the war of attrition.
The unstable four islands of the Mirage Kingdom will become abscesses, plunging the northern region of the Tang Empire into chaos. Part of the energy of the Tang Empire will be dragged down, and it will be unable to devote all its strength to the frontal battlefield.
The Lions Empire may even sneak attack on Dragon Island in the future. At that time, the Tang Empire's navy was fighting hard with the Dornish Empire and Qin's navy in the southern seas, unable to divide its forces to protect its long coastline.
By then, the Tang Empire, which was under constant control, would be completely passive and eventually succumb to the power of the Qin Empire!
Every time he thinks of this, Yingduo will smile with satisfaction. My son-in-law is still too young and lacks international political vision.
If it hadn't been too unruly and eager for quick success and quick benefits to carry out reforms, how could the Tang Empire have become the enemy of the whole world? If it wasn't too ambitious and didn't know how to restrain itself, how could the Tang Empire become the target of public criticism and be targeted by all countries?
In the end, the emperor of the Tang Empire and his son-in-law could only go to the Qin Empire to be a Duke of Tang... He was generous and could still leave a ducal palace for his daughter.
In the distant Forbidden City of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Mo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth every time he saw the deciphered secret messages between various countries.
Good guy, they are connected again so quickly: the Ice Empire and the Yangmu Empire are secretly negotiating a truce, and both northern empires want to get compensation from the Tang Empire in the next war.
The Lions Empire has actually begun to fantasize about attacking Dragon Island and giving the Tang Empire a blow.
The Dornish Empire, which had integrated the Goblin Kingdom, was powerful and was conspiring with the Qin Empire to deliver a fatal blow to the Tang Empire in the Chu region.
The Qin State even dreamed of annexing Dahua in the north and raising millions of troops to fight a vigorous decisive battle with the Tang Empire...
What kind of script is this? You might as well just write it down! Tang Mo disdainfully threw aside the so-called "joint" conspiracy that was still in its infancy. He simply did not think that this kind of conspiracy could succeed again.
The Yangmu Empire is still within the framework of the Three Emperors Alliance. Although the elves are seeking peace talks with the dwarves, they must have no interest in starting a war with the Tang Empire.
If you let these elves add insult to injury, they will definitely do it, and asking them to take sides in advance will definitely not work. Tang Mo was very sure that the Yangmu Empire, which had failed several times, would be more cautious this time.
Not to mention the Susas Empire. They have no navy at all. There is no benefit at all in declaring war on the Tang Empire at this time.
Not to mention the Mirage Kingdom. The current goblins have no ability to cause trouble to the Tang Empire. What's more, Mirage Wenmao and Mirage Wuxiong are both loyal dogs of the Tang Empire. Beidao is under the control of the two of them. It is impossible to have the courage to betray the Tang Empire.
With full calculations, this second anti-Tang war is still brewing, that is, the Dorne Empire, the Lions Empire and the Great Qin Empire are facing off against the Datang Empire, Chu State and Dahua.
You see, three versus three is very fair.
As for how to make these countries feel that they have a chance to win and challenge the Tang Empire? Tang Mo felt that he should sell some of the small toys that he no longer liked to these countries.
Let them feel that their naval fleet is powerful enough, let them feel that... a million-strong army has the capital to compete with the Tang Empire...
"Should we also make some preparations?" Tang Mo pinched his chin and made a decision in his mind: Let's start building a few more aircraft carriers, so that there won't be enough by then.
It's time for my lovely father-in-law to come to Chang'an to take care of himself. Should I build a Qin Duke's mansion in advance?
