Chapter 1290 – Want to be the Biggest Winner behind the Scenes

3rd month, 5th day, Imperial City.

10am, Ouyang Shuo was in the Imperial Reading Room meeting Di Chen, who had just returned from Europe.

During this Europe trip, Di Chen had fun while helping the Empire build up speaking terms with the six dynasties in Europe, trying to break the barrier between them.

The party with the most eager reply was the Ottoman Empire that had basically no previous interaction with Great Xia.

Obviously, Ouyang Shuo understood the reason behind this. Along with the war of North America beginning, Silver Hand and Azure Badge were baring their fangs at one another. The five dynasties of Silver Hand had surrounded the Ottoman Dynasty, and the situation was slowly becoming clearer.

This war would decide the fate of Europe, and it could break out at any moment.

The Ottoman Dynasty was in a terrible situation, so they naturally hoped to search for new allies on Planet Hope. Looking out at the entire world, only Great Xia had the ability to interfere in the Battle of Europe.

Facing the request from the Ottoman Dynasty, Ouyang Shuo declined to comment.

Before Azure Badge gave out a high enough bid, Ouyang Shuo had no intentions of joining the war of Europe.

“Pack up and pay a visit to the Maple Dynasty and the Mayan Dynasty.” Ouyang Shuo said.

Di Chen did not understand and asked, “Maple Dynasty?”

The Maple Dynasty was facing the invasion of the Dawson Dynasty, so their destruction was simply a matter of time. What reason was there to visit them now? Did he want to send reinforcements to the Maple Dynasty?

“That’s right. Tell the Maple Dynasty that as long as they give a good price, we can sell flintlock guns and new cannons to them in large quantities.” Ouyang Shuo said.

Along with thermal weapons becoming the star of the wars, the industrialization foundations of a dynasty became one of the stars of the battlefield.

After all, the ammo of flintlock guns and cannons were consumables.

Without a strong industrialization foundation, it was difficult to build and craft enough bullets and ammo. The Maple Dynasty’s population was too small. On this aspect, it could not compare with the Dawson Dynasty.

Once the war entered a standstill, the Maple Dynasty might fail to withstand the Dawson Dynasty due to their lack of logistical ability.

However, Great Xia was different.

As one of the first dynasties in the world to start industrialization, their flintlock guns and cannon production had reached a waterflow-like production rate. Moreover, Great Xia had a lot of space and a high population.

While retaining self-sufficiency, Great Xia also had the ability to sell to others.

In turn, selling firearms would motivate Shen City and Zhenhai City to further industrialize, forming a positive cycle.

Hence, Great Xia would be using other people’s money to develop their own cities, killing two birds with one stone.

Such a situation was similar to America during World War II. As the war was far from home, and the mainland had enough manpower to throw into industrialization, America became the greatest debtor to the European nations.

After the war, it also became the most industrialized country in the world.

The current Great Xia had a peaceful land and basically no enemies around them, similar to America in history.

This time, Ouyang Shuo wanted to become the biggest winner of the world war.

Apart from strategic considerations, selling the Maple and Mayan Dynasty weapons would drag the Dawson Dynasty into battle ,which was good for Great Xia’s plan for the world.

When Di Chen heard that, he remained silent for a long while.

Only now did he realize the distance between their strategic foresight.

Some people were born to be leaders and had great foresight. One who was born in an aristocratic family and received elite education would not definitely stand on top.

Elite education only gave one a higher starting point and did not affect the ending.

The current Ouyang Shuo was standing at the end line. Looking back, be it the elites of the aristocratic families or the heroes of the commoners, there was no difference to him.

“Do not worry, your majesty. I’ll set off tomorrow to get this matter done quickly.”

Di Chen had totally given up on competing with Ouyang Shuo; he had started to fully serve the Empire.

Ouyang Shuo smiled.

While the smoke that bellowed over North America and Europe was covered with uncertainty, the Asia Continent was also not calm.

India Region.

Before the New Year, after the Ashoka Dynasty suffered heavy losses in their war against Great Xia, they were faced with the combined attacks of the Gupta and Peacock dynasties and were forced back.

After the winter, the war matters temporarily came to a halt, giving the Ashoka Dynasty some breathing room.

At the start of spring, the war of India began again.

This time, the Peacock and Gupta dynasties went all out to end the battle in one swoop. They were trying to totally destroy the Ashoka Dynasty and redistribute India.

The only thing beneficial to the Ashoka Dynasty would be that New Delhi was in the middle and radiated out toward the Ganga plains. This was the richest land of India and where the Ganga civilization began.

The Ashoka Dynasty, which held the home ground advantage, had a high population density and sufficient grain.

As a result, the Ashoka Dynasty could go up against the two dynasties.

Even then, under the relentless assaults of the two dynasties, without any changes, the fall of Ashoka Dynasty would just be a matter of time.

Next would be the Persian Empire.

After the Mongol Empire was wiped out, the remaining forces of the House of Ogedai escaped into the Persian border. They used the Persian cities that they had taken down to barely survive.

During this winter, it seemed like the Persian Empire did not do anything.

After spring began, this silent empire finally bared its fangs. It sent its troops east to destroy the remnant forces of the Mongols to reclaim their lost territory.

Ironically, when the Mongols conquered the west, they had said the same thing.

The moment the news was out, the Honglu Temple immediately sent out envoys to Persia to say, “The Mongol Empire has already submitted to us. Their cities, be it within our borders or outside, belong to us. Hence, the 13 cities within the Persian border are already ours.”

“How to deal with the forces of the House of Ogedai is our duty. Please do not interfere, or it is a provocation toward us.”

The moment those words were communicated, the Persian Empire was placed in a pickle.

If they sent out troops, they were worried that they might anger Great Xia. If Great Xia interfered, Persia would not be able to get anything done. Who knows, they might even end up losing land and their troops.

The moment they became enemies with Great Xia, the outcome would be catastrophic for them.

However, if they stopped because of Great Xia’s warning, it would mean losing the authority and prestige of the Persian Empire. Furthermore, they were unwilling to give up on this juicy piece of meat in their hands.

In the end, weren’t these cities originally theirs? Isn’t taking them back natural and expected? How did it become the duty of Great Xia all of a sudden?

The Persian Empire was really unhappy about the overbearing behavior of Great Xia, and there were many who sought to fight.

Of course, there were many who did not want to fight.

It was a massive temptation to them if not fighting could allow for peace with Great Xia.

Just as the Persian Empire was uncertain, a change occurred.
