Just as the Great Ming was severely lacking in young and middle-aged labor, the countries of Europa also had their own myriad of difficulties.
It was precisely because of these various challenges that King Louis XVI of France, King George III of England, and Tsar Paul I of Russia, along with Washington of the United States of America, actively responded to Zhu Jinsong's call to stir up trouble with the "Little Broken Pot" alliance.
After all, four of the five "benevolent individuals" of this "Little Broken Pot" were formidable figures who could be named, and having such allies was far more reliable than finding alliances with small countries that had meager armies.
The same logic applied: it was precisely because of these allies that France and England could boldly move against the Habsburg family, and Russia could then attack the Ottoman Empire without fear of being stabbed in the back.
As for the current United States of America...
In this era, the United States of America had not yet experienced the First and Second World Wars of the "Little Broken Pot." It had even relied on French assistance to break free from British colonial rule. While not entirely a "weakling," it was not much stronger than one. Currently, it was single-mindedly focused on improving its standing in the world.
However, as the old saying from the Central Plains goes, to hear the gong, one must listen to its sound; to understand words, one must grasp their meaning. Whether these four benevolent individuals were causing trouble at the behest of the Great Ming or pursuing their own interests, the result was that the entire "little broken ball" (Earth) had barely a single peaceful day. Other smaller countries, under the pressure of their own survival, might band together at any moment to jointly resist the five benevolent individuals of the "Little Broken Pot."
The critical issue was that weapons of mass destruction like nuclear bombs had not yet appeared. The strength of the five benevolent individuals of the "Little Broken Pot" was indeed one superior power, three strong powers, and one weakling. Moreover, the other smaller countries were indeed weak, but they were not so weak as to be completely incapable of resistance.

So, whether the other four "benevolent individuals" of the "Little Broken Pot" were stronger or weaker was not particularly important to the current Great Ming. What was important was that they could attract some of the firepower for the Great Ming, and more importantly, once the "little broken ball" was thrown into complete chaos, how much time could these four "benevolent individuals" buy for the Great Ming?
