Chapter 1572 Benefits Are Everything

Zeng Yunfeng shook his head, "Your Highness, it seems that you don't fully understand the situation you have to face. The so-called no matter the cost is not just for a while. Once you get involved with us, there are really endless possibilities." Please, are you sure you want to do this?"

Frederick II started to think slightly, what Zeng Yunfeng said was correct, dealing with their White Iron Pirates was not as good as he had imagined.

Once some things are stuck, they will be like brown sugar, which cannot be shaken off no matter how hard you shake them off.

Sun Zengyunfeng looked at Frederick II who was deep in thought, and said: "I understand and understand the current situation of Prussia, and Prussia believes that under the leadership of His Highness, it will definitely become a European power in the near future. A doomed thing."

"Oh, Your Excellency has so much confidence in me?"

Zeng Yunfeng smiled and didn't answer directly.

Frederick II became a little puzzled, "But I just heard your words at the door, which is completely inconsistent with what you mean. You are not optimistic about the future of Prussia. Although I have confidence, the current situation is indeed It's too bad, those ministers in our country, especially those young military officers, are all radical nowadays, wishing to conquer more territories."

"But as a monarch, I really know that Prussia is reaching its limit, and it is best to stop now. Even so, Prussia will still face enormous diplomatic pressure and the bad European situation in the later stage."

"So I desperately hope to find an ally, a firm ally!"

However, Zeng Yun didn't show the slightest expression, nor was he moved by Frederick II. The so-called allies he said would definitely not be people like them. His so-called allies must be a country on the European continent.

However, there is no ally that can truly be trusted by Prussia on the entire European continent.

It can be said that Prussia has basically fought against countries on the European continent from its rise to prosperity, and they have no real friends.

"Your Highness, there is no emotion between countries, only interests, and nothing else."

It can be seen that Zeng Yunfeng wanted to establish a pirate kingdom and become an ally with Prussia, which can only be said to be a very ridiculous thing.

"It's normal for countries to sell interests between countries. If people can't pass this test in their hearts, and feel that once they become allies, they should help each other and not betray, that is a childish joke, but we are not children anymore. .”

Zeng Yunfeng looked at Frederick II and said: "The word ally is not suitable for you and me at present, Your Highness, so don't mention it again in the future. The so-called allies are only temporary. With kindness, one day we can cooperate at certain times, certain places, and certain opportunities.”

"Rather than being an ally, I believe in this kind of cooperation."

Frederick II's eyes lit up. There is no real relationship between countries, only real interests.

After hearing Zeng Yunfeng's words, Frederick II's eyes could not help but light up.

Zeng Yunfeng's words really hit a key point in the European continent. Whether it's Britain, France, or Austria, the outbreak and end of wars are undoubtedly attributable to interests.

Frederick II couldn't control many things in these countries, but he could control the interests of them. This sentence can also be said to have awakened him.

Zeng Yunfeng continued: "And Your Majesty has already made some plans, for example." Zeng Yunfeng said and looked at Gris Allenfei.

Frederick II immediately understood what Frederick II was referring to, "That's right, I married the Grand Duke's daughter to the Russian Crown Prince to prepare for this. The weather is cold and the environment is harsh, but at least his enemies come from in front of him, and no one will stab him in the back."

"Russia, as our ally, is undoubtedly an excellent choice, but" Frederick II said here, sighing, "some things went wrong in my plan."

"Although Sophie has now become the wife of Crown Prince Peter, the relationship between the two of them is not good. It is not a good time to win over Russia."

"Coupled with the fact that Peter's mother is still in the position of emperor, it is even more clear when Peter will become emperor."

"Under the current situation, it is very difficult for Russia to get together with us, and because of the current situation, we are likely to become the meat of Russia's mouth."

"How do you know?" Zeng Yunfeng smiled and asked back.

"Although I don't care much about diplomacy, I still know some things. Russia has intervened in the Far East region very early, and fought with the huge empire in the Far East, and seized a lot of land in the Far East."

"From this point of view, Russia's ambitions are far higher than those of Prussia, so not only will Russia not help the current Prussia, but it will even raise the idea of ​​annexing East Prussia."

"Although the territory of East Prussia was inherited by Brandenburg from the previous Principality of Prussia, it is still the territory of our Kingdom of Prussia."

"Poland has long been dissatisfied with this, and Russia even hopes to annex Poland. They are eager to find an outlet in the south to enter the process of maritime colonial forces."

Listening to Frederick II's words, Zeng Yunfeng nodded slightly, but he didn't expect Frederick II to look so far away.

At present, it is very difficult for Russia to intervene in maritime power, which is why Ekaterina desperately wanted to take down the Crimea Peninsula, although it was very embarrassing to use the Black Sea as an outlet, and was stuck by Osman's neck .

But it's better than no outlet to the sea. There are only a handful of ice-free ports in the north, and sea trade has basically closed the door to Russia.

This is also the reason why Russia in later generations frequently made troubles in Crimea, the Far East, and Northern Europe.

Although the northern region is an excellent military region, and it also helped them block most of the enemies, it also brought a series of problems.

It is not so easy for Russia to truly become the dominant country on the sea and on land, and it is even a bit embarrassing.

This embarrassment especially does not mind the Russians.

Although Russia is known as the empire with the largest land, only the Russians themselves know how well their land is utilized.

Compared with the European continent, which has a pleasant climate and rich land, the land of Russia has been trapped in a world of ice and snow all year round. Is this what the Russian emperor himself hoped for?of course not.

What they want is more land and wealth like half of the European continent, but they can't do it. Even though they have a huge territory, Russia still faces huge difficulties.

This is also the reason why successive Russian emperors wanted to highlight Northern Europe, attack the Far East, and even go to Central Asia.

Each country has each country's strengths, but at the same time each country has each country's shortcomings, and the country's job is more to get out of the current anxious situation than anything else.
