I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The mysterious eastern kingdom, Dahua, they stole Ceuta from Portugal.

This is a hot event in Europe, and many countries are paying attention.

And a large number of Dahua goods poured into the European market, which caused a wave of Dahua fever.

Wear a silk dress, put some fine china at home, or wear a fine watch on your wrist.

All of these have become a very face-to-face thing.

Made by Dahua, it has become a fashion trend for a while.

As a high-class person, if there is no Dahua manufacturing on his body or at home, that is a symbol of decline.

If you don't talk about a few topics related to Dahua, you will be ignorant.

In the past, there were also goods made by Dahua in Western Europe, but the number was not large, and it became even rarer when they were scattered across the entire continent.

Many people do not usually see products from Dahua at all.

But this time, Dahua brought goods from merchant ships at one time, and these goods were sold in Spain, France and Italy.

Therefore, nobles in these regions can obtain these goods relatively easily.

For a time, in the upper class, nobles who were using Dahua could be seen everywhere.

When this Dahua manufacturing became popular, more Western European businessmen began to prepare to go to sea, hit the road, and prepare to go to Dahua for gold mining.

This is the reaction of the Western European folk and nobles, and the powers of Western European countries began to face the country of Dahua at this time.

In Spain, King Carlos I convened many ministers to discuss strategies for China.

At this time, Spain was already in the sunset at sea and became second-rate.

On land, only the last stubbornness remained.

Historically, they will have a big fight with France this year, and then lose the war, lose their hegemony on land, and go downhill completely from then on.

At this time, Carlos I had realized the contradiction with France.

So, he desperately needed a way to increase his strength.

The appearance of the Great Chinese gave him a glimmer of hope.

As Fotis said, as long as they buy Dahua's steam warships, they can restore their strength at sea, and they can also gain some advantages in fighting against France.

As long as the French are defeated, they are invincible on land, and then they can develop their navy wholeheartedly and regain their glory.

It was a scene depicted by Fötis, and Carlos admired it.

"Fortis, I officially named you the Earl of Spain. I hope you will represent me as an ambassador to Dahua and establish good diplomatic relations with Dahua. The most important thing is to buy a steam battleship."

After everyone's deliberation, Carlos officially issued an order.

"Please rest assured, the king, I will definitely live up to my mission and complete the mission."

Fotis was in high spirits, and he was promoted to one level before he even started his title. If he successfully completed the task in the future, then he should not be promoted to Marquis?

A marquis is almost the limit for someone of his not-so-good background. If you want to be named a duke, your background is the most important thing.

Meanwhile, England, London.

"We must increase our understanding of Dahua, they will be our biggest enemies in the future, no one. It is said that their country has a population of 100 million, what is the concept? This is more than ten times that of our country.

More importantly, their navy is more advanced than ours, gentlemen, the navy is more advanced than ours. "

William raised his voice.

As an island nation, the UK attaches great importance to its navy.

As long as the navy is strong enough, they will never have to worry about the safety of the homeland.

Moreover, if you want to dominate the world, the navy is also very important.

Before, after the British defeated Spain, the whole country agreed that their navy was the most powerful in the world.

But now, they have seen the advanced performance of the Dahua Navy warships.

This has to be taken seriously.

"Impossible, there can't be a more advanced navy in this world than ours. Moreover, no other country has so many warships.

If the Dahua you mentioned is really that powerful, why can't they be seen in America or India? A large number of treasures have been controlled by us? "

Some did not believe William's words and thought he was alarmist.

"That's because there was a civil war in their country a few years ago, and now the civil war is almost over. The fact that they sent caravans to Europe is proof that they have started targeting overseas.

Soon, our overseas territories will be threatened and challenged. If you continue to indulge in your previous achievements, you will surely regret it in the future. "

Johnson chose to stand on William's side.

After some discussion, the ministers who agreed to pay attention to Dahua's opponent accounted for the majority.

After all, Dahua's territory and population make them feel a great threat.

Moreover, Dahua's steam battleship also shows that the Dahua Navy has surpassed them in some aspects.

Once a consensus is established, the next step is to negotiate a solution.

In this regard, Johnson and William are at odds.

William hopes to take down Ceuta with the momentum of thunder, and then get the secret of the steam engine.

However, Johnson advocated using slightly milder means, such as buying and corrupting Bao Shunan, or buying from Dahua, or salvaging the places where Yangzhou and Zhenjiang sank.

In short, one cannot easily conflict with Dahua, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

"Johnson, what you are doing is stupid. You shouldn't really believe what Bao Shunan said, naively thinking that you can buy this kind of warship in Dahua.

I can tell you responsibly, dreaming. Dutch businessmen have long tried to buy such machines in Dahua, but they were rejected. I tried every means, but failed to get a steam engine.

I only got some Dahua books and some small parts of the steam engine. "

William's news is better, and he has a better understanding of Dahua from the merchants who have returned before.

"Being unwilling in the past does not mean that you will not be willing in the future. William, you need to understand what kind of opponent you are provoking. If they are determined to take revenge on us, our overseas territories will never be peaceful, especially India may be lost.

Even the homeland will be threatened. As for the navy, not to mention, our fleet will have to be wary overseas in the future. "

Johnson's reasons are also very good. Compared with the war potential, they are not as good as Dahua.

Moreover, their enemy is not only Dahua, once all energy is put on Dahua, then countries such as France and Spain will take the opportunity to rise.

Because of the proximity of these countries, the threat to them is even greater than that of Dahua.

After some debate, they finally decided to try it peacefully first, and then consider force if it didn't work.
