Many people don’t understand why Zhao Fubo must go on an expedition to Europe?

In fact, the purpose is nothing more than a business path. Scholars are just two different. With a business path, industrial products can be exchanged for a large amount of wealth, and use these wealth to arm their own army** (This is to say that Zhao Fubo's army does not intend to use "basic export firearms" that use gunpowder. Since this is the case, it requires a large amount of personnel and machinery investment.

Don't believe that the production line of weapons is a small investment. If it takes $1 to produce a musket, then a revolver may cost $5, while a real rifle costs $10. As for artillery, it may cost $100. This is definitely a huge expense. Even if you only want to equip a 100,000 army, the wealth you spend is definitely an astronomical and digital existence.

However, as mentioned earlier, in this era, there is an army equipped with 100,000 rifles, revolvers and cannons, which is enough to conquer the whole world. So doing this requires a little vision, just focus on the people who fight for the Central Plains and seize the world, no matter in the past, present, and future, they are not the leaders that our Chinese clan really needs.

History has told us that hiding on the mainland will only attract plunder in the future era. That is to say, in any era after the Age of Discovery, the truly visionary Chinese leaders must look at the world. Therefore, Martin scoffed at those leaders who are only obsessed with the mainland. This is also the reason why he wanted to look at the world when he taught himself as a student.

"No matter how old the times, don't be like those stupid pigs. You only know how to exploit your people on the mainland and never know how to compete with other countries in the world for world resources. That is an extremely stupid behavior."

Another reason why Zhao Fubo came to Europe is more important than the above. This is related to the future world pattern as mentioned above. Although the royal family protected by the future Chinese Empire will reduce the interference of the pope, these royal families will also support the "ideological police" with the "Inquisition" as the main means.

It is certain that when this work is completed, at least within 200 years, no country in the world can catch up with the technological development of the Huaxia Empire. After 200 years, the Huaxia Empire will always be the master of the earth. Because of the 200-year technological gap, there is no need for justice or any excuses to plunder or exploit, the world will always be just a toy of the Huaxia Empire.

Zhao Fubo's trip to Europe was not for Qili, nor for European peace. The above two points are his fundamental goal of coming here. At this moment, France, Italy, and Spain, other countries near the sea have affirmed his strength, and at the same time affirmed the construction of trade routes. So his affairs basically depended on a period of time, so Zhao Fubo wanted to go home.

However, the reason why his father-in-law Louis IX tried to keep him was probably because Louis IX's army was still on the way back. If he left, would there be any problem in Paris? I'm afraid this is what Louis IX is really worried about.

Of course Zhao Fubo knew Louis IX's concerns. At this moment, people in Cyprus still don't know when they will arrive. The problem is that if the Pope's army is not solved, the situation in Europe will not be stable. This is the real problem in Zhao Fubo's mind. If he has worked so hard and has not convinced the Pope, he will still not achieve the goal of stopping the future technological development of Europe and stabilizing the European trade route.

If it weren't for this, Zhao Fubo would use what money to equip the army to fight the Mongolians, and even create a large number of ships to return to the Song Dynasty. What is important is that there is no money. Will the Song Dynasty still keep it poor and backward? Of course, this "poverty and backward" is not compared with Europe at this time, but compared with Huaxia Island. What Zhao Fubo thought in his heart was not to seize the world of the Song Dynasty, but the future Huaxia Empire, which must be the most advanced and prosperous country in the world in the future.

On the lawn with green grass under the blue sky, Qili and Juliana were fighting swords. They were using the swords as an art and movement to complete the swords, rather than the weapons of war. Compared with the light and elegant microscopes of the two of them, Roger and John and his son were fighting each other, but they had the style of a man. As for the others, they were all busy with their own affairs and even Little Tucker sat under a tree, drinking the honey wine he brought to enjoy the ease of the afternoon.

"In this way, my majesty, when my men are coming down in the future, I will stay in Paris. I am going to Turin myself. You know that there has been siege there for too long. I am worried that if I don't help them, they will not be able to hold on. As for my men, let them stay here. I believe that no one dares to do anything that everyone doesn't like when your men return to France, let my men leave here and take a boat to Damietta. You know that I have been away from home for too long."

Zhao Fubo's answer satisfied Louis IX, and also made His Majesty King Fernande III of the Kingdom of Castile feel satisfied. In the subsequent battle, his Spanish soldiers and the subordinates of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II were the main force. At this moment, they wanted to have a good relationship with the young monarch of the Chinese Empire in front of them. After all, it was related to the national military equipment issue.

He is still young, unlike Louis IX who has two daughters to marry Zhao Fubo, the only one who can stand up for him. The person who has good relations with the future Chinese Empire is Carlos, the Duke of Granada. After all, his daughter is one of the concubines of the future Chinese Empire. In addition, it is also a bit of friendship that supervises and guards Gibraltar for him. Of course, if the Kingdom of Castile wants to maintain peace and strength in the future, then there is no supply of weapons from Sardinia, it is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, when Zhao Fubo and Louis IX came to an end, he continued the conversation on the side

"Your Majesty, my men and I have made all the preparations. We can go to the Alps with you at any time and see when you set off."

Zhao Fubo was satisfied with his ally's statement. For the land of the Kingdom of Granada, he would rather build the "road" there himself, but gave Zhao Fubo a certain number of years of management.

"Of course, if we get faster, I think it will be in this or two days."
