Chapter 386 Do We Need Reasons?(1/2)
British colony?
After hearing this, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Hongyu's mouth.
"Since there is a roadblock, then kick the stone away. With the army strength we have now, it should be no difficulty to win Pennsylvania and Virginia."
Zhang Tie and Wang Shan nodded one after another.
"Yes, Your Highness. We have defeated Virginia, so we don't have to worry about defeating our subordinates. Pennsylvania has just been established and it is easy to defeat, but what excuse should we use?"
Zhang Tie knew very well about Zhao Hongyu's meaning. Since there were roadblocks on the way to capture Central America, just kick it away.
Any obstacle that blocks their way forward will be ruthlessly hit.
But the question is, what kind of excuse should be used?
After all, I only had a fight with the British last year, and it didn't take long for the truce.
Besides, the British now have a lot of ships, and come to Manhattan to do trade.
If war begins, wouldn’t the British merchant ships come?
Then Zhang Tie thought again that the things he was worried about were very unnecessary. What did the British care so much about doing? Even if they lost the British merchant ships, there were still merchant ships from other countries.
Anyway, my own products are popular, so there will always be buyers, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Tie couldn't help but relax.
According to this idea, it is not impossible for His Highness to start a war.
At this time, after hearing Zhang Tie's answer, Zhao Hongyu smiled and said to him: "Excuses? In this continent, do we still need excuses?"
When Zhang Tie and Wang Shan were both stunned when they heard his highness's words.
What?
What does this mean?
Zhao Hongyu ignored Wang Shan and Zhang Tie who were stunned and continued: "Find excuses to use force, which is a means that later generations would only use when military power is equal or relatively weak, and it is also to avoid becoming an isolated country in the world."
"But we are no longer as weak as last year. At the same time, there will be no one to isolate us in this era, right?"
Zhao Hongyu's words made Wang Shan and Zhang Tie's eyes lit up.
The two of them were shocked and realized something.
Yes, my thinking seems to be a little overturned.
Why make excuses?
In this era, there is nothing like water. Who can speak? Besides, in their eyes, the British colonies are just a dish.
Even if you blatantly seize the British colony, what can the British do?
Britain in this era is far from the glory of the empire that the Sun Never Sets in later generations, but it is just an island country with a little sign of strength.
Therefore, you don't have to worry too much.
The British and America are separated by an Atlantic Ocean, and this distance is not close.
Even if they can pass through the Atlantic Ocean, how many soldiers can they transport to come at one time?
And how much time does it take to transport troops?
For those things, the Empire had already taken down two colonies.
When the British come to America, the daylily is cold, right?
In other words, there is no excuse for the empire to send troops.
I just want to send troops directly. Since I want to be a gangster, I don’t need to hide it. I directly declare that I am such a gangster and so domineering person.
Thinking of this, Wang Shan, who first understood, nodded and said, "Yes, why bother to think of any excuses? There is no need for this. The British colony is so close to us. If we want to make it, we will get him, regardless of whether it is 21 or 21, we will take it down first."
"If the British were to come to us for argument, they would do it with real swords and guns. But I think the British could still swallow this in the end. Their current military power is far less powerful than later generations in the 18th and 19th century."
Wang Shan understood clearly. His highness didn't even want a fig leaf, so he was just a hooligan who didn't even ask for any excuses.
However, Wang Shan has to admit that there is indeed no need to make excuses or something.
When wars were launched in later generations, they always needed some high-sounding excuses or something, because the international situation required them.
But in this era, there is no need for this.
The European continent is in chaos, and the Thirty Years' War is in full swing.
Britain is now just an island country with some reputation and is far from reaching its peak.
It can be said that if the Song Empire had messed with the British, Europe would not have a big reaction because they could not even care about it now.
Who would have the intention to care about the British?
It is unrealistic to rely solely on the British to deal with the Song Empire.
The British were not unaware of the strength of the Song Empire's army.
Coupled with the pirate attacks some time ago, the Song Empire won the victory in one fell swoop.
Therefore, the mysterious maritime military power of the empire also had to make the British afraid.
After much consideration, if the empire occupied the British colonies, the British would at most "express serious concerns" like the later Chinese people... or the gods would not bring much pressure to their service at all.
Slap sex!
Zhao Hongyu clapped his hands, his face full of smiles.
He was very happy to hear Wang Shan say this: "Yes, we cannot look at things in this era with the thinking of future generations. What is the terrible thing about the British? We just want to make it. The glory of the Empire of the Sun never sets will take more than a hundred years to reach its peak. Britain is just now just now, and it is not as strong as us."
Zhao Hongyu has a very clear view of this matter.
"I don't need to make any excuses, just take Pennsylvania and Virginia, and then immigrate to occupy the land there. I don't need another force in the entire North America, and I don't want some stumbling blocks on the road to seizing Central America."
At this time, Zhang Tie reacted.
Your Highness is going to be a barefoot gangster.
But I like it.
Zhang Tie said in his heart.
As long as the goal can be achieved, no consideration is needed for the rest.
And in this era, we need to have such a courage.
The current world situation is far less complex and changeable than later generations, so there is no need to pull out a fig leaf to cover up the troops.
Moreover, the relationship between the Song Empire and European countries was not that complicated and entangled.
Completely qualified to be a hooligan.
Since that's the case, why do I have to spend all my time thinking about finding excuses?
This thinking has completely entered a misunderstanding.
Zhang Tie secretly blamed himself.
Your Highness can see clearly.
"Then your Highness, do you think when will we send troops?"
Zhang Tie, who had figured it out, asked hurriedly.
"Don't hurry to send troops, it's already autumn. And I need to know the situation in Pennsylvania now, so I can make a judgment."
Zhao Hongyu waved his hand and did not immediately start discussing when to send troops.
Since his highness wanted to know the situation there, Zhang Tie of course answered everything.
"Over the summer, the British sent more than 30,000 immigrants to Pennsylvania from their homeland, with a total of more than 180 ships, which was amazingly fast." Zhang Tie began to talk about the information on Pennsylvania. "However, since Pennsylvania is a British colony that was established only in winter, its time is still very short. So both military and defensive facilities are insufficient, and we can easily conquer..."
Zhao Hongyu listened quietly to Zhang Tie's story, while thinking about the right opportunity to send troops.
Strictly speaking, there is not much time left for him now.
The French and Portugal have begun to attack, and the Spanish are overwhelmed.
Now is the best time to seize the Central American colonies.
At the same time, the Protestant coalition formed by the Dutch and their alliance also confronted the church military organizations in the Netherlands.
They don't care about the colonies in Central America now.
Therefore, the Spanish and Dutch colonies in Central America can be taken down in one fell swoop this time without any effort.
"The establishment of Pennsylvania was actually caused by the British who saw our rise and were worried that it would affect their interests. They thought that if they occupied this land between us and Virginia in advance, they could legally own it."
Zhang Tie said to Zhao Hongyu with a smile.
"But they forgot that we are not Europeans, so there is no need to comply with the jumps formulated by this church in Europe."
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Yes, we don't have to respect the bullshits set by Europeans. We have our rules. Why bother to abide by their bad things? There is no need."
After saying that, Zhao Hongyu continued: "After listening to your analysis, I think it's no point in taking these two British colonies."
Zhang Tie responded with a smile: "Yes, Virginia's original military power has been destroyed by us last year, and it has not recovered now." When talking about the war with Virginia last year, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan both laughed.
