The process and results of this New Crusade are completely different from the European war in history.

The joint counterattack of the entire Europe was easily blocked by the Celestial Empire's navy and army, and they chased them and continued to fight thousands of kilometers.

Because it was already sixty years old in the empire.

The Celestial Empire has completed the ideological enlightenment, modernization and basic industrialization.

Because of its vast space and resources, the population of the Celestial Empire has exceeded 1 billion mark, and the population composition is very healthy.

At this time, the world's total population increased to 1.8 billion, and although the European population also increased to 300 million, the population gap between the Celestial Empire and Europe was even larger than before.

Coupled with the direction of Xu Xingchen and Ship Girl, after the Celestial Empire continued to develop for 60 years, its weapons and equipment had reached the level of World War II era.

With relatively mature tanks and armored vehicles, naval warships have developed to the level of the treaty era, and have also developed fighter jets and bombers that can be used for actual combat.

The scale of the navy and army of the Celestial Empire was larger than that of Europe and the United States combined, and the equipment level was absolutely ahead.

America, which has lived peacefully with the Celestial Empire for decades, is also America that has just finished the brutal civil war, and has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the old continent.

The equipment level of European countries was advanced to the level before World War I under the help of the Celestial Empire, but it was still far from that of the Celestial Empire.

Xu Xingchen originally didn't want to occupy Europe, but now that they have taken the initiative to attack, there is nothing to say.

The three sides of the sea, land and air attacked quickly, quickly occupied the Balkans and the entire Central Europe, and came all the way to the city of Vienna, and at the same time occupied most of Eastern Europe, directly surrounding Moscow.

These cities did not cause much obstacles. The Imperial Army quickly took Moscow and Vienna, and the coalition forces' unremarkable confidence collapsed directly.

The Austrian Habsburg and Rakshasa decisively and directly sought peace. The United Kingdom and France, which were not affected in the local area, also recognized the fact that they could not resist the Celestial Empire at the moment.

Now Habsburg and Rakshasa seek peace, and the United Kingdom and the French Kingdom also want to see if the Celestial Empire is willing to be peaceful.

As long as the Celestial Empire is willing to be peaceful, Europe will have a few years of opportunity to accumulate strength to counterattack again, so it chose to wait and see.

In the end, Xu Xingchen asked Rakshasa for the Black Sea coast and the Caucasus region, causing Rakshasa to lose the Black Sea estuary and the large oil fields that have not yet been discovered, as well as the European granary.

The Austrian Habsburg Empire gave up the entire Kingdom of Hungary, as well as Galicia, Bukovina, Dalmatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, east and south of the Kingdom of Hungary.

The European part of the original Ottoman Empire, except for the plots on the Black Sea coast, and the land given up by the Austrian Habsburg Empire, was used as a reservation of the Ottoman Tianfang Cult.

In this way, Xu Xingchen's scope of the Celestial Empire was based on the original plan, adding the entire Anatolia and Thrace, the Black Sea coast and the Caucasus region.

In this way, the entire Black Sea and the Strait became the Imperial Inner Sea, and the Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea behind it also became the Inner Sea.

Therefore, in order to promote the development of Central Asia, which is farthest away from the ocean, Xu Xingchen launched a new super project, the Black Sea-Caspian Canal.

In the original historical time and space, in the 1950s, the Maoists carefully analyzed and discussed the canal's plans and carried out geological exploration and investigation.

The Russians concluded at that time that this canal could be built, but it was not necessary at that time. The Volga-Don canal was sufficient for use.

The suggestion is to wait fifty years later to build the Black Sea-Casp Sea canal, but the Russians are gone in fifty years.

Damao would not dig this canal that mainly benefited Central Asia and also reduced Damao's control over the Caucasus region, and did not have the ability to dig this canal.

Therefore, the project of this canal was basically completely abandoned because the Russians delayed for fifty years.

In this time and space, Central Asia, the Caucasus region, as well as the Black Sea and Caspian coasts are all territories of the Celestial Empire, and the canal project can be launched.

The demand for this canal is actually not high now, and the empire's normal engineering capabilities are relatively low.

However, the population around the project is relatively small now, and there are fewer additional things to deal with during project construction.

Xu Xingchen is preparing to maintain this project as a long-term and continuous project, and at the same time, with the project itself as the goal, we will continue to immigrate to surrounding projects and armed immigrants.

Specifically for the project itself, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, and the Aral Sea are actually remnants of the ancient Mediterranean Sea.

Now the Black Sea is still connected to the Mediterranean Sea, so it still maintains basic vitality and can still be regarded as a sea.

There was originally a similar strait between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, but this strait became land as the plate movement rose, and the Caspian Sea was completely isolated.

After being isolated, the Caspian Sea becomes a lake. Due to the dry climate in Central Asia, the infusion of rivers is less than the evaporation, so the Caspian Sea is an underground lake with a water surface of 28 meters below the sea level.

After the construction of the direct canal is completed, the ocean water can be injected along the canal, and the area of ​​the Caspian Sea will be greatly expanded, which will have a certain improvement effect on the climate in Central Asia.

However, after the direct canal is opened, the Caspian Sea becomes a coastal area, where ships can directly enter the sea and even the ocean through the canal, which has an economic driving effect.

However, due to the long-term low water level in the Caspian Sea, residential areas have already existed underground around the coast.

Before the canal is opened, these residents need to be moved to the high ground, otherwise they will be flooded by sea water.

These residents in the Caspian Lowland areas that will continue to increase are also one of the reasons why Xu Xingchen is preparing to open the canal in advance.

As time goes by, more and more people will be here, and it will become more and more troublesome to migrate.

The specific route of the canal was planned by the Russians in time and space.

Now the ship girl explores again according to the original plan, checks the differences between the two time and space, and makes more reasonable adjustments, and then can start construction directly.

From this time on, the earth entered a long-term relative peace stage, and there was no longer a large-scale war except for the unification of Germany and Italy.

Because the Austrian Habsburg Empire was dismembered by the Celestial Empire, the Austrian Empire lost part of the Hungarian Kingdom.

With the close threat from the Celestial Empire, the United Kingdom and the British Empire did not interfere, and they were unable to interfere without the support of the colonies.

In the end, the remaining Austrian Kingdom was added to the complete German Empire, and such Germany soon became the dominant European dominance.

It was still the threat from the Celestial Empire that allowed the German Empire and the Rakshasa Empire to sign a joint defense agreement against the countries on the front lines of the Celestial Empire.

Then major European countries such as the Kingdom of France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom joined one after another.

They then renamed the agreement to the European Union Defense Agreement, referred to as the European Union for short.

Although a gradually united Europe and the United States with increasingly strong industrial capabilities are not enough to severely damage the Celestial Empire, it has already formed a threat in some parts.

However, Xu Xingchen did not take the initiative to stop or break up their alliance, but basically let it develop on its own.

They had no influence on the star civilization they were in, and the Celestial Empire, which had become a giant, also needed external threats to keep her awake.

For the European Union, the military threat of the Celestial Empire did not actually exist. After the New Crusade, the wars fought in the world were basically within Europe...

In addition, the loss of colonies made European countries have to develop on their own, and the European Union gradually shifted from military alliances to economic alliances.
