Liu Hemming nodded, then asked again, "And then?"
Zeng Cheng stroked his beard and smiled, "Then, then Europa will descend into chaos."
Seeing Liu Hemming, Geng Rui, and the other big shots from the Five Army Commanderies looking incredulous, Zeng Cheng patiently explained, "Didn't our Great Ming announce a rate hike for the Dragon Yuan earlier? A rate hike will cause Dragon Yuan to flow back from other countries, and at the same time, it will cause other countries' currencies to depreciate. The money in the hands of their common people will become worthless, and their lives will become unsustainable. Won't this lead to chaos?"
Liu Hemming first nodded, then asked, "If the Ottomans cannot be taken within three months, Europa will not descend into chaos. What's the connection?"
Zeng Cheng chuckled, "The connection is immense. If the Military Command cannot take the Ottomans within three months, England and Tsarist Russia, among others, can continuously supply firearms and cannons to the Ottomans. This means they can continuously bleed the Ottomans to subsidize themselves. The possibility of chaos will naturally be negligible."
"As for other countries... it's easy to understand if you consider all of Europa as a single entity."
"For example, if England, Tsarist Russia, and the Habsburg family want to manufacture firearms and cannons and sell them to the Ottomans, aren't there several links involved: raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, and sales?"
"In this entire chain, it's impossible for England or Tsarist Russia or the Habsburg family alone to complete it. It requires reliance on the division of labor among various European countries. Some are responsible for providing raw materials, some for providing craftsmen, some for production, some for transportation, and some for sales."
"Once all the links are completed, although the lion's share will be taken by England, Tsarist Russia, and a few others, the remaining European countries will also earn some money. Their people's lives will be relatively better, and the possibility of chaos will naturally be smaller."
"If the Military Command can take the Ottomans within three months, it means that England, Tsarist Russia, and the like can only conduct their business of supplying firearms and cannons to the Ottomans for at most three months. The money they can rake in will not be too much, and the impact on their currency depreciation will not be too great. Other European countries will also not earn much money. The people will still face difficulties, and chaos will still brew."
Liu Hemming nodded as if he understood but not entirely, then asked with great curiosity.
