Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1133

[Chapter 1122 The Spark of France]

“Really!”

Butlin’s body stiffened, and his lips kept trembling because of the surprise.

“You heard that right, but it’s a pity that this breech-loading gun is similar to the Empire’s Eagle rifle. Compared with their Han-style rifles, there is still a gap. The bullets are also equipped with paper-cased bullets.” Murphy said.

After the Indian War, the empire’s weapons were no longer a secret, but even so they could not prevent the weapons in the Indian War and could only imitate the Eagle rifle from long ago.

Because after trying, they found that they could not produce a qualified firing pin at all, let alone metal eggshells and machine guns. The precision parts and steel required for these two firearms were even more difficult for them.

Precisely because they realize the gap, they are now more and more afraid to offend the empire easily, hoping to enhance Britain’s industrial strength through trade.

“Great, it doesn’t matter even if there are no metal bullets. As long as we have breech-loading guns, we can cause greater casualties to the empire. In this way, they will also carefully consider the option of war.” Buterin said.

The humiliating memory of the Battle of India has never left him for a moment, so what he is most concerned about now is the development of British weapons, and he is waiting for revenge.

While the two were talking, Brooke came over and said, “It seems that I am going to the Eastern Empire again.”

While speaking, he took out today’s “The Times”, which recorded the news of Ottoman’s defeat of Persia. .

Seeing this news, Murphy smiled confidently and said: “I think the emperor of the Eastern Empire will be so worried that he can’t sleep all night. He certainly didn’t expect that we would bankrupt their strategy in Central Asia.

” Saliman is an ambitious man, but he did it beautifully,” Buterin said with a smile.

“I hope that this time I will go to the Empire as a winner.” Brooke said.

“Of course!” A voice sounded behind him.

Turning around, he saw Victoria and her husband, the Prince of Prussia, standing behind him hand in hand, holding a wine glass.

He and Murphy immediately saluted Victoria, “Your Majesty the Queen.”

There was no sadness or joy in Victoria’s eyes, as if the marriage was just a routine matter. After the three of them saluted, she said: “Brooke, now is the time. Well, the Russian Cossack cavalry has already gone east. When you arrive in the empire, a war will probably break out between them, and the Ottomans are also our bargaining chip. We hope that you can use these conditions to bring back some valuable technology.”

Brooke suddenly felt sympathetic. Victoria, for the sake of the empire, she could marry someone she didn’t like at all, so what else could he complain about.

“Yes, Your Majesty the Queen, I will do my best.” Brooke said firmly.

Murphy and Butlin also lamented that the Queen’s wedding was widely publicized in newspapers in order to arouse the enthusiasm of the British people and help them get out of the decadent atmosphere of defeat.

Obviously, this method has helped many people regain their confidence.

With a slight nod, Victoria walked towards the other nobles. For her, her marriage was destined to be a political transaction.

She just hopes that this transaction will be worth the money, mainly to curb the rise of the Eastern Empire. Everything he does is worth it.

Paris.

Henry looked around and found that no one was following him. He entered a private house.

At this time, there were more than thirty young officers gathered in the private house. These officers came from different armies in France.

They have the same characteristics, they are all depressed in the army, and they are extremely dissatisfied with Andre’s policies.

To them, it was André’s weakness that caused France to decline and lose its former glory.

“Henry, what’s the matter with you? It would be dangerous for so many of us to gather together. Once discovered, Andre will not let us go,”

said an officer.

“That idiot will attack you sooner or later, and the purpose of calling you here is to prevent this idiot from taking us into hell.” Henry said.

Nowadays, the conflict between Andre and the reformist young officers in the army continues to intensify, and he is one of them. However, he does not take a clear-cut stand like other officers, but hides behind Andre.

“So you have the support of that Eastern Empire?” someone asked.

“Yes, but not entirely. The emperor of the Eastern Empire doesn’t trust us very much. Now we need to get their approval.” Henry said: “You all know that the Eastern Empire has set up an embassy in Paris, and they are inspecting us. “

Then what can we do to make them believe in our will?”

“I have thought of a way, so I called you together. The best way to prove our will is to assassinate Cooper. He is Andre’s most trusted assistant.”

Someone said worriedly: “Henry, this is not a joke. If Now that Cooper is dead, Andre will definitely continue to investigate, and he will not let the murderer go.”

“There are risks to gain.” Henry’s eyes flashed with danger, “As long as the Eastern Empire recognizes us, we will. It is not a dream to get a large number of advanced muskets, artillery and ammunition to oust the idiot Andre and unify the European continent. “

The other officers were silent. They came together because of the same ideal.

“Henry, I hope you didn’t lie to us.” An officer said, “This is a desperate move. If it fails, we will all be hanged.”

Henry’s eyes were firm, “Believe me, this is our only chance, East The emperor of the empire is a man of trust. “

The officers nodded one after another. In fact, they were gradually desperate. Andre was already targeting them. Their situation was desperate.

Having settled the matter, Henry carefully left the house and went directly to the embassy.

The ambassador responsible for managing French foreign affairs is Mi Zhu. He and Fang Fangheng are classmates and both graduated from Qingzhou University.

He is not as good as Fang Fangheng in the Foreign Affairs Office, but he is still an outstanding talent, so he is qualified to be sent to France.

Seeing Henry’s arrival, Mi Zhu smiled and said, “Do you have any clues now?”

“Of course, Andre’s lackey Cooper will be shot dead soon. This is our will. We have done it.” We’re going to do whatever it takes to get this right,” Henry said.

Mi Zhu nodded slightly. He and Hu Chuan had the same mission, they were both to disrupt Europe. He said: “The weapons and ammunition you need are ready. As long as the inspection passes, this batch of weapons and ammunition can be shipped to Europe.”

Henry felt relieved .

, he fought hard for the dream of the French Emperor.
