Chapter 1145

"You are right. The enemy of the enemy is our friend. We should contact the Ottoman Empire. "

yekalina also has this idea.

After pondering for a while, she continued: "not only that, we also need to contact with Persia. Gambis will not be willing to submit to the eastern empire forever. He is also an ambitious man. Don't forget that in the powerful era of Persia, they peeped at the territory of the eastern empire more than once."

Ivanov said: "Your Majesty's beauty and intelligence are incomparable. It is said that Persia can get the support of the eastern empire by providing a free thing called oil, but oil is extremely important in the eastern empire, which Persia will always understand."

Igor said: "Central Asia is the back garden of our tsarist Russia. The Eastern Empire must not be allowed to intervene. Your majesty, the current situation of Britain may also be the dilemma that tsarist Russia will face in the future. We must make preparations in advance. Now that Britain is in danger and France is on the verge of collapse, maybe we can lead Europe. "

ekalina is a little excited, which she has been looking forward to, but from the beginning to the end, Europeans are on guard against tsarist Russia. Now there is a bigger threat in Europe, maybe this is an opportunity.

"We need to send envoys to Spain, the Netherlands, Austria, Hungary, Prussia and other countries, Ivanov, to arrange this as soon as possible," she said

"Yes, your majesty." Ivanov responded.

……

Qingzhou.

After reviewing Liu Chen's war report, Xiao Ming sent Xiao Yi to Australia and his second prince Xiao Tong to Canada, he threw himself back into the busy affairs of the Empire.

"Emperor, it's difficult for Tangier to be self-sufficient. It's difficult for Tangier to become the bridgehead of the Empire's attack on Europe. After all, the army is outside, and the daily consumption is huge. However, the number of steam merchant ships is insufficient, and the speed of sail merchant ships is slow." Cui Shangan and Xiao Ming have a headache over the war report of map research.

Xiao Ming put down the war report. He was psychologically prepared for the current situation faced by the Imperial Navy. Even in modern times, such a long-distance war is extremely costly, let alone now.

So he didn't want to send his soldiers to the British mainland for trench warfare, which was too impatient and irrational.

Now what he really wants to do is to give full play to the strength of the Navy, defeat the British navy and blockade such an island country as Britain.

Once that happens, a small country like Britain will soon collapse.

From then on, the country will be reduced to a country of no class.

During the blockade period, he could take advantage of Britain's internal contradictions to further weaken Britain and split it into four independent small countries.

In this way, the main force of this expedition to Europe is only the Navy, the army is only a supporting role, and it doesn't need too much supplies. Moreover, it doesn't need to transport all supplies from China. Some supplies can be purchased directly from Europe. With Europe's urine, there must be countries willing to trade with him.

So he said: "the problem of supply is very easy to solve. First, we need to find a way to buy from European countries. Second, the colonies of British Africa are under the control of the Empire. We can find a way from these places. Don't forget that the mineral Department of the empire is exploring in these places. Third, although Africans don't like farming, the land is very fertile and can be sent Some agricultural technicians went here, and the Empire did not allow them to sell slaves in the country, but this did not mean that they could not use the African slaves. They could catch some of them to build Plantations under the guidance of the technicians. "

after hearing this, Cui Shangan was stunned for a long time. He sighed:" the emperor is still wise. It will take time to blockade Britain. During this time, not to mention that Tangier can be self-sufficient, there may even be a large amount of surplus grain transported back to China. "

"That's the truth. Don't forget that we are a big agricultural country. As long as we have land, we can make it rich." Xiao Ming said.

"Yes, I understand. "Cui Shangan looks excited.

Seeing off Cui Shangan, Xiao Ming calls Pang Yukun and asks him to arrange for technicians to go to Africa.

This time, Liu Chen made a circle along Africa, and it took time to consolidate these captured colonies.

Hearing this, Pang Yukun said: "emperor, this is no problem. Apart from the technicians, do you want to use the farm machinery? Now the machinery factory has just come out, and some farm machinery and construction machinery are being distributed by the lower officials. "

hearing the news, Xiao Ming smiles. Needless to say, these machines are naturally powered by internal combustion engines.

He was also very interested in this. After all, it represented the improvement of the productivity of the Empire, so he said, "in that case, I'll go with you to have a look."

Having said that, he asked Qian Dafu to prepare a motorcade and meet Pang Yukun in Waigong, and the party went to the industrial zone.

When they arrived at the machinery factory, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun entered the factory with the company of the factory staff.

In the first five-year plan, the Empire's machinery factories had already blossomed all over the Empire. Outside Qingzhou, Guandong, Youzhou, Jinling, Lin'an, Guangzhou and other places had their own heavy industries.Constrained by the size of the Empire's population, Xiao Ming can only hope to make up for the current shortage of manpower by improving productivity. After all, it is not easy to develop the Empire's vast territory with more than 100 million people.

Because of this, he was eager to make the Empire mechanized as soon as possible, both in industry and agriculture.

"Emperor, this is the latest batch of improved harvesters, transplanters and planters." Lin Wentao pointed to rows of agricultural machinery parked in the factory space.

Xiao Ming's hands touched the past one by one on the machinery. He was a little excited. These farming machinery and modern machinery are almost the same. Once put into agricultural production, the agriculture of the Empire will be greatly improved.

Especially now the Empire belongs to Manor agriculture, a family of three often have hundreds of acres, thousands of acres of land.

With these machines, the peasants of the Empire would be able to cultivate more land, and the land of the colonies would be developed more.

"Have these machines been used in practice in farmland?" Xiao Ming asked.

"I've used it. For example, this harvester can collect ten mu of land in an hour in a flat area, and there's no problem with seventy or eighty mu of land in a day." Lin Wentao said confidently.

Pang Yukun said with a smile: "it's good to have 70 or 80 mu a day. It's enough for a small manor to have one. It's said that after the news was published in the newspaper, the farmers who came to the machinery factory to inquire about purchasing almost broke the threshold. "

" that's good news. It seems that the profits of machinery factories are going to rise a lot. "
