Chapter 1107

Europe.

News from India came here only half a year later, and the whole European political arena seemed to be shaken.

Tulip palace, the news of Victoria pale as paper, "surrender? Our invincible red shirts surrendered to the eastern empire! "

Murphy stood quietly by Victoria's side, and with him there were many aristocrats and councillors with high prestige in London.

”Continuous firing firearms, huge steel warships, powerful artillery, bombs that can be easily dropped by soldiers. The weapons of war of the Chinese Empire have exceeded us too much. If it is not for the desperate situation, our soldiers will not choose to surrender, your majesty. Now we have to consider whether to redeem these soldiers? "

The officer who spoke was wearing a red uniform and a sailing cap. He was the most famous British general Wellington.

In the tsarist Russia's southward war, the general once led the British Red Shirt Army to defeat the tsarist Russia's army, and finally forced the tsarist Russia to take back the magic grip that extended to Eastern Europe.

Murphy reminded: "after the surrender of the Allied forces, the Chinese Empire released a merchant ship to report back. He conveyed this meaning. Your majesty, we have more than 10000 soldiers in the hands of the Chinese Empire. If they can't return to England, they will have to work to death in the cold mines in the East."

Victoria pinched her eyebrows painfully. As a world-class overlord, Britain has never been blackmailed by other countries.

But since the rise of the eastern empire, everything has changed.

”What price did they give us? "Victoria can't be indifferent to the lives of these soldiers. More than 10000 soldiers are one tenth of the British army.

If something happens to these soldiers, she will also attract criticism from all walks of life, and her dignity as a queen will be affected.

"An ordinary soldier costs two hundred pounds, which is calculated separately by the officer." Murphy said cautiously.

Vidomia's chest heaved violently. She stood up abruptly. "This is blackmail. We in Europe only need to pay 20 pounds to redeem a soldier."

Wellington shook his head. "Your Majesty, this is not the time to feel sorry for money. With the wealth we have accumulated over the years, this money is nothing, but soldiers are precious. These soldiers are young adults. As long as they come back, we will have more than 10000 soldiers who have fought with the Chinese Empire. If we equip them with new equipment, they will be able to control the Chinese Empire It's my sword. "

other nobles and councillors nodded one after another. Murphy took the opportunity to say," Your Majesty, we can hold a dinner at tulip palace, call on the nobles and businessmen who come to join us to donate money to save these poor soldiers, and tell them that if they don't want to contribute to the Empire, their overseas interests will be swallowed up by the Chinese Empire. "

Victoria looks appreciative, which is what she just thought. In order to catch up with the technological level of the Chinese Empire, the government invested a lot of money in various laboratories.

Now she didn't want to waste a little money on other things, and these aristocrats and merchants accumulated a lot of wealth in the trade.

It can be said that these people are the real rich people in Britain. Sometimes she really wants to be as powerful as the emperors of the eastern empire.

In this way, he was able to squeeze the merchants dry.

"That's a good idea. "Vidomia nodded gently.

Mr. Murphy nodded, and then he showed a serious expression. "The following matter is particularly important. How should we deal with the relationship between us and the Chinese Empire? Do we want the war to continue? "

" do you think our navy can beat the Imperial Navy? "Replied Victoria.

"Of course not."

"In that case, what else can we use to fight against the Empire? Send envoys to negotiate peace again. Now we have to make every effort to strive for peace. We need more time." Vidomia's eyes hardened.

Wellington said in a high voice: "of course, we have to make the worst plan. If the eastern empire does not give us the chance of peace, then we have to prepare for war. From now on, we must call on all the British citizens to prepare to resist the powerful enemy until we are the last one left in the war. Only when we show the strong will of war to the Chinese Empire, will they fight Give in. "

Wellington is Victoria's life-saving straw, she said:" please rest assured to do it, I believe no one will oppose you now. "

after a pause, she continued:" at the same time, I will promote the union of Europe as soon as possible, which is the most powerful enemy we have encountered in two hundred years, and it damages the interests of all Europeans. "

Wellington took off his hat and saluted Victoria.

Murphy showed a reassuring smile. He said, "we have also received news that the eastern empire and Persia have been in close contact during this period. It seems that they want to get something from Persia. No matter what they want to seek, I suggest that we stir up the relationship between Osman and Persia and let their war continue. In this way, we can contain the strength of some empires. "

for Victoria, now as long as it can delay the arrival of the eastern empire in Europe, any method can be used.So she hesitated and nodded. In the past, Osman was the object of their vigilance. Now they must be friends.

At the same time.

The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and France also received news from India, which shocked them as much as Britain.

For a moment, the whole of Europe was in the shadow of defeat. In order to cope with this defeat, they suddenly had more exchanges with each other.

Europe, once full of contradictions and powder kegs, seems to be more peaceful than ever.

After a month's preparation, a large joint mission set out to the East. This time, they will sit down again to negotiate with the Chinese Empire.

……

Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming was driving an internal combustion engine car delivered by the imperial automobile factory in the square of Zhengda Guangming hall. After reaching an agreement with Persia, the minerals department successfully found oil in Persia, which was also a shallow oil mine.

Then the Empire's drilling team rushed to Persia, and the first batch of oil arrived at Dengzhou port in half a year, which means that the Empire's cars will no longer be idle for lack of gasoline.

After the oil is transported to the petrochemical plant, it is quickly converted into gasoline, wax, asphalt and lubricating oil.

After three laps around the square, Xiao Ming stopped the car and got off.

"The improved cars are of good quality." Xiao Ming said with a smile to Qian Dafu.

Since the civil strife of the Empire was calmed down, the life of the Empire has become more and more calm, but under the surface of this calm, the development of the Empire has never stagnated, on the contrary, it has become more and more rapid, and many technologies have burst out with the efforts of the research laboratory.

Even the car has been improved in a short time, with a better internal combustion engine.
