”Emperor, Brooke didn't agree to our terms. He had already taken the locomotive that night to Dengzhou. "
In the imperial library, Pang Yukun personally reported to Xiao Ming, "are our conditions too strict. "
" no, it's not harsh at all. If the roles change, they will go beyond us. " Xiao Ming said that he was very clear about the robber faces of these Western powers.
Pang Yukun nodded, "since they don't agree, we can only continue to blockade Britain and see who can hold on to the end."
When they finished, Pang turned and left.
At this time, Xiao Ming looked at the map in the imperial study. It was a brand new map of the world. On this map, the current control area of the Empire was painted red.
The whole map suddenly looks red. This is the result of his efforts over the years. Now the Empire has controlled 50% of the world's land, and these areas are also rich in resources.
At present, only the most striking places left are the United States in Europe and North America, which are still struggling to support these old colonial powers.
But by wrestling with the empire that controls the vast resource areas, sooner or later they will lose their underwear.
But even so, he can't be careless. His goal now is to exchange the minimum cost for the maximum benefit.
In order to achieve this, it is necessary to upgrade imperial weapons on the one hand, and to make rational use of the contradictions between European countries on the other.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming set his eyes on the fighting areas of France, Prussia and Austria. For him, the longer the battlefield war lasts, the better. In this way, he will have enough time to build his own mechanized army.
Once this was achieved, the Empire would have a military presence in Europe.
Because of this, he chose to send snipers to France to help Henry fight, and then he would send military advisers to France to support Henry's more advanced weapons.
After all, this time Prussia jumped too high, exposing his ability and ambition, and he would not make the life of this betrayer easier.
Scanning the ever expanding territory of Prussia, Xiao Ming left the imperial study with his hands and Qian Dafu on his back.
Before Brooke came, he made a plan to inspect the key military factories of the Empire. The first use of tanks in czarist Russia had obvious effect.
With the emergence of this kind of cross era weapon, the Tsarist Russian army had no ability to resist. The impact of this war was that each major military region applied for the formation of tank troops one after another.
To this end, Xiao Ming once again specially approved the construction of three tank factories, striving to make each military region of the Empire have its own tank troops as soon as possible.
In addition to the production of tanks, he will also go to the key shipyards of the Empire this time. Steam turbines will be put into use, which will have a revolutionary impact on ship manufacturing. From then on, warships will burn not coal, but oil.
In this way, the fleet will be able to carry on the long voyage on the sea with supply ships.
After all, the volume of coal is too large and the combustion efficiency is too low, which makes the status of the imperial supply ships very embarrassing. A fleet often needs to take a lot of supply ships for long-distance navigation.
Otherwise, the coal on three or five supply ships is not enough for a fleet.
In addition to the cannons represented by steam turbines, he also focused on inspecting the major aircraft manufacturing and R & D centers just established by the Empire.
His goal was to give the empire a small fleet of bombers within three years, while developing transport aircraft.
……
Dengzhou.
Brooke took a mixed look at the bustling city of Dengzhou and sailed to Europe by merchant ship.
The picture of the negotiation is still clearly printed in his mind. If possible, he never wants to come here again.
For him, it's a place he yearns for, but he's afraid of.
Three months later, Brooke returned to Europe under the weight of the imperial merchant ship, and then to Moscow in confusion.
When he saw Victoria living in Russia again, Brooke didn't even have the heart to speak. However, facing Victoria's expectant eyes, he told the cruel truth.
After listening to Brooke's story, Victoria's face was livid. She said, "the Empire will never let Britain agree to these stupid conditions. Even if all the British people starve to death, they will not give in to them. "
" don't be angry, your majesty. I have already said no to them, but what about Britain now? If the blockade of the Empire continues, the situation in Britain will get worse and worse. When I come back, I pass through the English channel, and the imperial warships are still on patrol. " Brooke's face was full of worry.
After a pause, he said: "and according to the people who escaped from Britain, the voice of independence of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is getting louder and louder. It is rumored that the diplomatic envoys of the Empire are in close contact with the independent councillors. It seems that the Empire has a sinister intention to dismember Britain." Said Brooke.
Vidomia already knew the news, she said: "you don't know enough. I've got the exact news that the Empire promised to help the independent councillors as well as Henry, which means that the British civil war may break out at any time, and Murphy will not allow Scotland to become independent."Brooke sighed. "It seems that the Empire has been prepared for a long time. Like these treaties, this move is just as vicious."
Now Victoria seems to be strong, in fact, she has nothing to do.
Since the Empire conquered the tsarist Russia's border, the whole tsarist Russia was in a kind of cold winter like atmosphere, and ekarina was gradually indifferent to her, and even talked about expelling her from tsarist Russia in public.
Now she is thinking about going to Prussia, at least her husband is the prince of Prussia.
Thinking of this, vidomia said, "it's no use to say that now that you're back, let's go to Prussia. It's no longer safe here. Ekarina is just a mercenary. The attack of the Empire has scared her. She doesn't dare to send troops to France any more."
Brooke sighed in his heart. Now they are like dogs who have lost their families. How could the once glorious empire of sun never set be reduced to such a situation?
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Your Majesty, it's not the way to hide like this after all, and I'm worried that the domestic opposition will take the opportunity to rise. If Murphy steps down, your Majesty's future will be full of uncertainties."
Vidomia said, "what do you mean?"
"When we go to Prussia this time, we should seek the help of King Felix to let us return to Britain, so that we can deal with the domestic tension in time." Said Brooke.
