Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter 1152: A New Round of Joint Feast

Because of the advent of the era of global trade, almost all countries, one by one, joined this vigorous wave of global trade. Commodities and specialties from all over the world are transported to various regions through sailing ships.

The rapid circulation of the commodity economy has activated the world's economies both actively and passively. European commodities are sold in Asia and all over the New World, and commodities and specialty products from the above-mentioned regions are also sold in the above-mentioned regions. The goods and money that circulate each year alone are an astronomical figure! As the Suez Canal, which enters the Mediterranean Sea and leads from the Red Sea to Asia, the Strait of Gibraltar is a crucial strategic area.

There are more than tens of thousands of sailboats entering and leaving these two places every year!

The goods and money carried by these large ships are also a huge number that is enough to make people feel numb. The abundance of taxes paid has made the Tang people rich for hundreds of years. Even today, this country has become decadent and its life is extravagant, but the number and scale of its naval fleet and overseas colonies are still huge.

Similarly, the huge profits it receives every year make countless people jealous.

In the chaotic era of the Tang people, it was not without a carve-up banquet among the continental European countries. However, that joint operation did not completely win the country. At the very least, although the coalition forces of the European countries gained an advantage at the beginning. However, neither the army nor the navy dealt heavy damage to the Tang people. On the contrary, in this chaotic era, a group of outstanding military officers who appeared enthusiastically within the Tang people due to the war, were in internal chaos and their command was constrained. Still managed to maintain the stability of the country, and through subsequent wars, it avoided the situation where the country was divided by other countries.

In addition, the appearance of the guardian beast once again awakened the fear in the hearts of Europeans.

Facing a giant dragon with a body length of more than a kilometer, a wingspan covering the sky and the sun, and two ferocious heads, they had no confidence in defeating it at all. It was also because, although the Tang people were in internal chaos, the upper echelons began to decay. However, the middle and lower classes at that time still maintained a fairly strong vitality. Whether it is their army or navy, their strength still exists.

Therefore, a joint carve-up operation against the Tang people at that time did not allow the countries to obtain the benefits they wanted.

And because of the protection of the country, the upper class of the Tang people became even more unwilling to make progress. And gradually, this kind of thinking has gradually polluted the middle class, and they also drifted with the crowd, sucking the interests and blood of the country to strengthen themselves. Because, in just a few hundred years, the bourgeoisie headed by businessmen has grown rapidly in a staggering manner.

The wealth they gathered was astonishing, and through Gibraltar, the interests Suez sought were even more astonishing. Now, their power to speak in the country of the Tang people has gradually increased.

The rich and powerful bourgeoisie also began to seek further privileges, such as politics, or control of the country's important foreign trade and so on.

Therefore, in such a special environment, the rate of corruption of Tang people is astonishing.

With the passage of time, today's Tang people have basically lost all their combat effectiveness, let alone the navy. Every class is not thinking about making progress, but is thinking about seeking benefits for itself, which led to the powerful, glorious, prosperous and rich Tang people hundreds of years ago. After hundreds of years, it has gradually become a second-rate country, although this country is still rich. However, what the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty saw, heard and recorded in the book "Tang Yaolue" has gradually become legends.

The Tang people also gradually turned from exploiting the outside to the inside. In a very short period of time, the wealthy peasants of the past have gradually become impoverished.

And the European countries, who are always observing every move of the Tang society, saw the weakness and lack of progress of the Tang people, and they once again launched an alliance. A new round of carve-up banquets targeting the Tang people started again.

Britain, France, Spain, Ottomans, Austria and even the Italian states also joined in, as well as small Nordic countries. Their military forces have begun to build up, whether it is the army or the navy, they have begun to build up secretly. And the Tang people are still in a state of ignorance so far! The upper class is still living a drunken life and is no longer governing the country, and the internal infrastructure is still built by the monarchs hundreds of years ago. It has been used until now, but it is also facing the danger of being in disrepair for a long time, and even the infrastructure construction in some areas has become unusable.

Although the Tang people were still huge, they took all the upper and lower Egypt, guarded the passage into and out of the Red Sea, and mastered a series of islands along the way. Guarding the main traffic route from Europe to Asia, the annual tariffs on the canal and the wealth collected from entering and exiting the canal are astonishing. These could have been transformed into profound and incomparable strength, making the already powerful Tang people even stronger. However, since the wizards were expelled that year, the entire country has gradually weakened.

If it weren't for the actual existence of the guardian beast, it would have proved the legal dominance of the god-descendant family that was famous in Europe back then. I am afraid that by now, the rule of this family has been overthrown long ago.

Today, a new round of coalition forces has been formed again.

For those maritime powers and colonial powers that have huge interests in the Far East and Asia. Gibraltar, the upper and lower Egypt regions under the control of the Tang people, as well as the tariffs set for various countries, and the annual limit on the amount of merchant ships from various countries to Asia. They are all tightly stuck on the necks of the European countries, making them extremely uncomfortable. They watch helplessly that the huge profits generated by trade every year are continuously distributed by the Tang people who are sitting on their own.

The European countries, eager to change this situation, are determined to completely change this situation through another joint action. They did not seek to subvert the rule of the Tang people, nor did they try to control Upper and Lower Egypt, because millions of Tang people had already lived in this land standing in the desert. However, it is imperative for European countries to control or manipulate Gibraltar and the Suez Canal.

Taking a step back, even if they cannot control Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, European countries must seek tax exemption for their own products or free travel conditions in these two regions.

They still have fear in their hearts towards the Tang people.

Although the continuous suppression has already begun, they still have lingering fears about the impact of the previous joint operation. Even though the countries have already surpassed the Tang people in terms of strength, they are also worried about another joint action and persecution, which will wake up this decadent country.

Thus awakening, the absolute overlord country thousands of years ago!

However, as the huge army began to assemble, the worries in the hearts of the European countries gradually faded away. They don't worry about winning a country that has been corrupted for hundreds of years. The only thing they are worried about is the giant dragon hiding in the vast Mediterranean Sea, sleeping somewhere in the bottom of the sea. Once the sleeping dragon is awakened by the fierce war, then I am afraid that their joint actions will still not be able to obtain the benefits they want for themselves. There are precedents for this.

In the last joint operation, the awakening and appearance of the giant dragon in the later period made the panic-stricken Tang people feel at ease instantly. Therefore, although the European countries obtained some of the benefits they wanted through a war, they were still dissatisfied. Now, in this joint operation, the European countries have made up their minds to make a quick decision, and completely win the war before the dragon wakes up. Thus at the negotiating table, seek their long-awaited benefits!

The huge combined fleet set off one after another, forming a huge combined fleet on the wide sea. Immediately afterwards, the combined armies of various countries also began to gather in Spain. After the navy set off, the army also rushed to the Tang province of Gibraltar.

In addition, there is also a part of the army, which is sent to Morocco in North Africa by ships. They are going to attack the part of Morocco occupied by the Tang people across the sea from Gibraltar! ()
