Chapter 1577

Leaving the residence of the Grand Duke of Brandenburg, Zeng Yunfeng and others rode horses and swayed slowly on the road.

"Boss, let's just leave it at that?" Scott asked next to him.

Zeng Yunfeng glanced at Scott. This time he came out to see some things in the world, especially Prussia, one of the current kingdoms in Europe.

Frederick II is undoubtedly an ambitious, courageous and capable hero. In the current world, he can still dominate the European continent for a long time.

At this moment, Zeng Yunfeng shook the whip in his hand and said, "Forget it? No, we will settle the debt with him, but not now. Prussia needs to solve their own problems now, which cannot be solved in a moment. "

"And" Zeng Yunfeng sighed, "we have our own things to do, and our plight is not much better than that of Prussia."

Hearing Zeng Yunfeng's sigh, Gris Allen hesitated, he knew what his boss was worried about.

The Central American region is surrounded by the ocean, but on both sides are the American regions controlled by Spain, Portugal and other countries, and the North American region is controlled by the United Kingdom and France.

Although the Central American region is now in the hands of the White Iron Pirates, it still faces a huge threat, especially in terms of population and resources.

They can win local wars one after another, but if they really establish a pirate kingdom and compete with these countries for national strength, they will be somewhat dwarfed.

After Gris Allen traveled around Europe, he really understood what his boss was most worried about.

Judging from the current situation, it is not so easy to solve this problem, and it is even quite troublesome.

He didn't quite believe his boss's statement that he would go back to Prussia for trouble. He actually had some research and understanding of Roy Smith.

His boss has a long-term perspective and sees things very clearly. His frightening forward-looking vision can often hit the nail on the head, and even penetrate the essence of things.

But he has an irreparable shortcoming, that is blood, no matter how Royer Smith adjusts, he will not be able to become a European nobleman, and it is difficult for his blood to be recognized by them.

If one wanted to deal with the Kingdom of Prussia, relying solely on the identity of a pirate, or even the ability to be a powerful force, was far from enough, and there was even a lot of room for improvement.

At least in the current situation in Prussia, King Frederick II of Prussia didn't take the White Iron Pirates to heart at all.

It's normal to think about it. The real combat power of the entire White Iron Pirates is definitely not more than [-], and it is a combat power that can be called, which also includes the army and sea troops.

What is more than 2 troops, just a drizzle. Compared with the wars of tens of 10 people and 10,000+ people that happened every now and then on the European roads, these people are not enough to fit their teeth.

This is also the result of Zeng Yunfeng's policy of pursuing elite soldiers. It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that Zeng Yunfeng's subordinates, whether it is a fleet or an army, are all very powerful and equipped with weapons and equipment that are not weaker than those of European powers.

But correspondingly, if there is a war of attrition, or even a long-term tug-of-war, it will undoubtedly be a major disaster for Zeng Yunfeng who wants to establish a pirate kingdom.

Sea trade in Central America is an advantage, but it is also a pain point.

Once the maritime trade is cut off, the development of Central America will plummet, which is why Zeng Yunfeng dare not easily start a war with other European powers.

Of course, Zeng Yunfeng could actually plunder more land to the north, even to the North American continent.

But the constrained factor will appear again, and that is population. No matter how hard Zeng Yunfeng works, even if he has close to a million people under his rule now, it is extremely difficult to pick out the real combat power from them.

In this country where belief is almost everything, the pirate kingdom that Zeng Yunfeng wants to build has no beliefs. Although the source of his personnel is not limited, even from various races and cultures, there is a huge shortcoming that cannot be made up for. , that is the lack of real centripetal force.

This kind of centripetal force is definitely not something that can be formed in a few decades or even in the current ten years.

The reason why these countries on the European continent, such as Prussia today, have such a strong military mobilization ability has a lot to do with the status of the Teutonic Knights and the Elector of Brandenburg.

The reason why Frederick II was able to have such a high conscription rate also has a lot to do with the centripetal force in his country.

Now there are nearly a million people under Zeng Yunfeng's rule, but in fact, only those tens of thousands of people can really stand up to fight for him and even sacrifice their lives.

Although the lives of these millions of people are closely related to Zeng Yunfeng, there is no way to make everyone focus on one place.

And among these millions of people, there are not only immigrants, craftsmen, doctors, but also women and newborns.

From this perspective, recruiting one out of a hundred people to serve as a soldier is already a very high proportion of conscription.

In order to maintain the expenses of nearly 2 people, Zeng Yunfeng had to do everything possible.

As the White Iron Pirates, there is one thing that is easy to solve, that is, there is no need to consider the follow-up of these people, especially the aftermath. They can be recruited again after they die, but training requires a process.

In war, there must be casualties, and there must be family pensions, but now the White Iron Pirates hardly need to consider this issue, because they are a pirate group and an employment group, which can be said to be a partnership enterprise, and they are responsible for themselves.

But once the kingdom is established, all these issues will be put on the table. If you want to establish a kingdom, you must consider the corresponding issues.

Otherwise, these fighters will not have a centripetal force on the country. When fighting, whether it is surrender or rebellion, it will happen frequently.

The pirate group is not a very determined group. The purpose of their initial establishment is profit. As long as the profit is sufficient, there is nothing they cannot betray.

This can also be judged from the way pirates deal with various forces. Whether it is Barbossa or Jack Sparrow, they are all capricious people. Jump and even perform a surrender to show weakness.

But if a kingdom is established, this kind of thing cannot be tolerated forever, because tolerating such a thing will make the pirate kingdom lose everything in an important change or even a war on a certain day.

Generally speaking, it is the current White Iron Pirates.With too little capital on the table, they can't afford to lose.

Countries in continental Europe can gamble once, twice or even three times, and if they lose, they can start all over again.

Their kingdom can stand in this world for nearly a hundred years, but the pirate kingdom can't do it for the time being. As long as they lose a big battle or even fall into the quagmire, Central America will be divided up and even become countless small countries.
