Zhao Tian had a thoughtful look on his face as he sighed,""I just regret that I couldn't go back to the Great Voyage Era and face the division of the Song Kingdom by various countries, leaving only less than 20,000 square kilometers of land in the end.”
Lin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. If the Song Kingdom could recover its original land area, how powerful would it be?
If there was a tragic country before rebirth, then the Turks could be the first. In a few hundred years, they lost millions of square kilometers of land in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, leaving only a few hundred thousand square kilometers of land.
Then, when he came here, he realized that although Turkey was a tragedy, it was still a country across Asia and Europe. The loss of land was also because of his own death.
However, the Song Kingdom had expanded over the past hundred years after Yashan. Its territory included the current Country F and more than half of the East Indies. At its peak, even Sri Lanka was a part of the Song Kingdom.
However, it was such a huge country. After Zheng He went to the West, the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed and the Mongols were expelled to the desert. At the same time, the entire country became a golden country in the eyes of Westerners due to its prosperous trade.
Hundreds of years of prosperity had completely eroded the ambition of an empire, but it was still the overlord of Southeast Asia at that time.
However, due to the arrival of the Great Voyage Era, most of the land of Country F was taken away by the Spanish. Then, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Britain joined in the frenzy of dividing up the land. As a result, the Song Kingdom could only survive in an area of more than 20,000 square kilometers with Palawan Island as the center.
Originally, World War II was the best opportunity. Millions of Song soldiers were active on the battlefield in Southeast Asia, but in the end, they lost more than 500,000 people in exchange for the European and American countries to allow Southeast Asian countries to establish their own countries.
It was only then that they realized that these superpowers would never allow a powerful empire to appear in Southeast Asia.
Otherwise, with the wealth that the Song Kingdom had accumulated over hundreds of years, coupled with the technology that was not inferior to Japan's, even some of the great powers would be worried about the huge territory and population that they had obtained.
For this reason, the Song Kingdom had started a war against the indigenous people in Southeast Asia for several years. Facing the indigenous people supported by the foreign powers, it made all efforts to recover the land extremely difficult.
Later on, the foreign powers had imposed a blockade on the Song Kingdom for more than ten years, causing the Song Kingdom's people to live in desolation. In the most serious times, they could not even be self-sufficient in food.
It was because of the war between the United States and the Soviet Union that the Song Kingdom accepted the mediation of the United Nations and disbanded most of its troops that the blockade was lifted. From then on, the Song Kingdom began to develop for decades.
Today, in terms of economy, the Song Kingdom had become one of the developed countries in Asia. However, its political status could not compare to the Song Kingdom's economy at all. It was like a transparent country in the world.
The people behind him also had a look of yearning in their eyes. The Song Kingdom was at its strongest and even more prosperous than when it was in China. It left too many people with beautiful expectations.
Even now, although the Southeast Asian countries tried their best to erase the traces of the past, they were still unable to do so. How could they be surrounded by hostile countries like today?
"The more it is our homeland, the stronger the opposition to the Song Kingdom. One day, the sharp knife of the Song Kingdom will stab into these lands again, but no country can stop it.”
Zhao Tian's eyes were filled with determination. Bullets were wrapped around his waist, and his face was stained with blood as he stared into the distance. He looked at the vast land in the distance, and his eyes flickered with a mysterious color.
What Zhao Tian did not know was that all of this had been recorded by a few women who had come together.
At this moment, a group of people on the patrol boat was talking to each other in disbelief.
"Captain, what should we do? Those aren't real pirates, but our comrades!”
"Wait a minute. If the Song Kingdom fleet doesn't come, this place will be ours by default. The country has already sent a fleet to support us.”
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw a huge fleet in the distance. Although they were all relatively backward ships, the fleet in the country was not much better.
The Song Kingdom had money but no place to buy it, while the other countries wanted to buy it but had no money. They had to mock these countries for developing the land that was like a gift from heaven.
"That's the South Sea Fleet of the Song Kingdom. When did they react so promptly? You know, when the old king was in power, he usually avoided disputes!”
A tanned man revealed an unwilling expression. Clearly, this test had failed. The newly appointed king was clearly extremely powerful. The country should have supported another person to become king back then.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Tian and the others watched as the patrol boats left. They looked at the warships that gradually appeared in the distance and smiled.
They could finally relax. If these soldiers were to charge, even if they could stop the enemy, their side would definitely suffer losses.
Fortunately, the Vietnamese army still had some international influence. Although there were many conflicts in the South China Sea, there was no major war. The influence of the Song Kingdom was too deep.
Even if the Song Kingdom's military equipment was not advanced, as long as they could not get the support of Europe and the United States to destroy the Song Kingdom in one go, they would be afraid of the Song Kingdom's revenge.
It was rumored that the Song Country possessed an atomic bomb. Although the Song Country had never admitted it, they did not dare to push the Song Country too hard.
