Chapter 1108

"Eighty kilometers an hour, it's going to catch up with the steam locomotive. It's amazing."

Just came, Qian Dafu said with a smile.

During the period of the imperial civil strife, Xiao Ming's mood was depressed for some time, but now he has gradually recovered, which makes him feel relieved.

Xiao Ming patted the black metal body of the car heavily, raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. After pocket watch, this kind of clock, which was more suitable for wearing, became popular in the Empire.

Many people with status are proud of wearing a watch.

"It's more than ten o'clock. Didn't song Changping say that he would give me a revolver?" Looking at the time, Xiao Ming asked.

After the execution of the remaining members of the merchant Council and Ge Yiren and other rebellious people, the Empire was shocked and tranquilized.

Both old and new officials in Chang'an have been much more honest.

Because they saw the emperor who might use his iron and blood at any time, no one could be sure whether the next bullet would come from behind their heads.

The criticism of newspapers for more than half a year also reduced the tolerance of rebellion within the Empire to zero. At the same time, under the bright eyes of the people, it was difficult for malicious people to escape trial.

"Song Changping is always punctual, but I have something to report to the emperor. Just now, I received a telegram in the side hall, and the mission from Europe has arrived in Guangzhou. It is estimated that it will take only three days to arrive in Qingzhou. "

" Oh? Here we are? " Xiao Ming smiles a little. It's been a year since the war in India.

The speed of Europe is too slow. He's been waiting a little boring. Now these European envoys have finally arrived slowly.

"In that case, you should inform the foreign affairs department to prepare for reception. I'm afraid there will be a lot to talk about this time." Xiao Ming said.

Qian Dafu replied that after he occupied the British colony in India, the Imperial military action stopped.

After all, the territory occupied by the empire is too large, which takes time to digest. At the same time, the soldiers are a little tired of fighting in the army. In order to make the army relax, it is necessary to suspend military operations.

The most important thing is that the major military regions are changing their equipment and doing adaptive training.

In the past, only a part of the soldiers were equipped with Han style rifles, most of them still carried Eagle style rifles, and the configuration of machine guns and mortars was unreasonable.

In order to enhance the overall combat effectiveness of the Empire as a whole, it is necessary to use this period of time to upgrade equipment.

However, the army was resting, but the navy was not idle. Now the Imperial Navy has controlled the route from Nanyang to the Cape of good hope.

Any warship breaking into this route without permission will be driven or even sunk, and the maritime hegemony is gradually shifting to the East.

Qian Dafu turned and just left, and song Changping arrived on time.

In this regard, Xiao Ming said he was very helpless. For people like song Changping, time is very important. They don't want to waste even one second.

"Emperor, this is the revolver." Song Changping holds a silver revolver in his hand.

After the metal bullet is developed, it will be developed according to the plan. This kind of gun will enable soldiers and officers to have effective lethality in a short distance.

Taking up the revolver, Xiao Ming looks at it. There is a drum type magazine on the revolver. There are six bomb nests on the magazine.

"Emperor, this is a bullet." Song Changping delivered the bullet at the right time.

After the appearance of metal bullets, Xiao Ming has been longing for a self-defense revolver. After all, the short barrel muskets used to be a bit unsightly.

With this left wheel, if he faced assassins, he would have the power to protect himself. The only regret is that the current industrial level of the empire can only produce left wheels.

However, the revolver was developed in the 19th century and used until World War II, even in contemporary countries.

Because the revolver has an advantage in dealing with misfire.

Loading the bullet in the nest, Xiao Ming turned the wheel and aimed the bullet at the barrel.

Lifting the revolver, Xiao Ming orders the guard to move a piece of wood to 20 meters, and then pulls the trigger.

With the sound of a gun, there was an extra bullet hole in the board. Then Xiao Ming pulled back the trigger hammer. At this time, another bullet nest aimed at the gun chamber.

Pull the trigger and there is another bullet hole in the board.

Song Changping said: "if you can skillfully pull back the trigger hammer, this revolver can almost achieve the same effect of continuous shooting. "

Xiao Ming nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with the effect of the revolver.

He told song Changping: "yes, but the research and development of automatic weapons should be carried out as soon as possible. The Indian War is enough to see the advantages of advanced weapons from the effect of the war. "

" yes, the emperor. " When it comes to automatic weapons, song Changping is a little excited and has a rich expression.

Let song Changping go back, Xiao Ming with a revolver back to the imperial study.

Then he moved his chair to the map of the world, sat on it and watched the Empire map quietly.Three months ago, he received news that Zhu Sansi had established himself in Alaska, and the snow city he named had been built with the efforts of soldiers.

This means that the Empire has its own stronghold in Alaska. In the next step, Zhu Sansi will take the snow city as the center to expand to North America and occupy the land except the 13 states in North America.

In Siberia, after the exchange of Luo Xin with Ye Qingyun, he is also actively preparing to seize the area east of the Ural Mountains.

as for Ye Qingyun, after taking office in the Southwest Military Region, he took over the task of Luo Xin and prepared to take the French East Indochina to the South after the equipment renovation.

Looking at the mark one by one, Xiao Ming felt relieved. Although this was another time and space, under his rule, his empire achieved achievements that had never been achieved before.

Today, the Empire's territory from the far north across the far south, is not without vast.

He was excited, but at the same time, he was worried, because in the history of mankind, all the powerful empires collapsed in the long river of history.

From ancient Rome, to the sun never sets in England, from the vast Han Dynasty to the Soviet Union across Asia, the former power was finally eliminated, leaving only mottled fragments.

How long can the vast territory he has now laid last after he has died?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming's mood gets confused. He doesn't want to fight for everything, but he finally makes wedding clothes for others.

With this hidden worry in mind, he asked Huang Tingzhi to secretly set up a mysterious laboratory and invest a lot of money in the research of gene technology, hoping to break through the technology of cell repair and regeneration in crystal stone in his lifetime, so that he can continue his life.

Sometimes, he would laugh at himself and the emperors who sought immortality in the past, but after thinking about it, he was also a man and had his own desires. Why bother.

What's more, he doesn't want to hand over the technological crystal to others, because once these technologies fall into the hands of people with bad intentions and are no less powerful than a global nuclear explosion, it's better for him to control them by himself.
