Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1134

[Chapter 1123 The beginning of chaos]

in Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming and Qi Guangyi were watching the steam locomotives carrying King Bear tanks heading towards Raozhou at Qingzhou Station.

After the first tank officially passed the acceptance inspection, Xiao Ming asked the tank factory to put into production immediately, and at the same time increase the production line so that the imperial army could equip at least 500 Bear King tanks.

Except for 200 of these 500 tanks, which were equipped with the Central Army, the other tanks were all delivered to the Northwest Army.

Although Tsarist Russia suffered heavy setbacks in Siberia and continued to retreat to the Ural Mountains, the losses to Tsarist Russia during this period were not great. After all, Siberia was nothing more than a peripheral area of Tsarist Russia.

Central Asia is the strategic location that can truly threaten the hinterland of Tsarist Russia. Therefore, the Northwest Army has been fighting Tsarist Russia’s Cossack cavalry in Central Asia during this period.

It’s just that although the Northwest Army has an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment, it sometimes suffers some hidden losses when faced with a large number of Cossack cavalry.

A month ago, a ten-man patrol team of the Northwest Army was ambushed by more than 300 Tsarist Russian Cossack cavalry during their inspection.

After the bloody battle, only one person escaped back to the Northwest Army camp. The life and death of the other nine were unknown, and their weapons and horses also disappeared without a trace.

It was precisely because of this incident that Xiao Ming decided to launch a surprise attack on Tsarist Russia to completely destroy Tsarist Russia’s Cossack cavalry, otherwise the anxious state of the Northwest Army in Central Asia would continue.

The protagonist of this war is the tank that the empire has just equipped. Through this battle, he wants to make Tsarist Russia completely afraid to set foot in Central Asia and stay in Eastern Europe.

“Your Majesty, with this sharp weapon, I will vow to wash away the humiliation of the Northwest Army.” Qi Guangyi said, this incident made him feel shameless.

Xiao Ming said lightly: “You don’t have to blame yourself for this. The empire’s army is brave and good at fighting, but they are also humans, not gods. People make mistakes sometimes, not to mention that there is no time in war when equipment is not lost. You don’t have to Too caring.”

Qi Guangyi felt moved, and he felt reassured by Xiao Ming’s understanding.

After a pause, Xiao Ming continued: “Besides, even if these firearms are taken away, they can’t imitate them without the industrial foundation.”

“That’s true.” Qi Guangyi was relieved, “But even so, we must be ruthless for the benefit of the empire. Tsarist Russia must be taught a lesson. The only remaining threat to the empire in the north is it.”

Xiao Ming nodded.

This time he came to deliver the tank in person to tell Qi Guangyi about this. Last time he set a goal that he wanted to accomplish, so from now on he will achieve it step by step.

Tsarist Russia is also a part of his goal. In order to eliminate Tsarist Russia’s potential to become a regional power, he is ready to dismember this country, just as he is preparing to dismember the powerful countries in Europe.

The transformation of big countries into small countries will make Europe less of a threat. Even if they are to be reunited in the future, it will take a long time.

“For the benefit of the empire.” Xiao Ming said involuntarily.

“For the benefit of the empire.” Qi Guangyi repeated, his eyes firm.

At this time, the steam engine locomotive started slowly. Qi Guangyi boarded the locomotive and saluted Xiao Ming again.

After returning the gift, Xiao Ming watched the steam locomotive gradually disappear at the end of the railway, and then he left the station and took the bus back to the palace.

“There is still one America left.”

When he came to the Imperial Study Room, Xiao Ming marked the map of Tsarist Russia and looked towards North America.

In this era, the United States had just been established, and the area it could control was only the thirteen states of North America. More land in North America was occupied by Indians.

If the course of history continues, the United States will slaughter all the Indians in North America and become the most powerful country in North America.

Qian Dafu served beside Xiao Ming and said: “Now Zhu Sansi is in Alaska, and there is a region called Canada across the United States. This is quite troublesome.”

Xiao Ming smiled, “This is not troublesome at all .

, On the contrary, Canada will also become a springboard for the empire to attack the United States. “

Historically, Canada was originally a place where Indians and Inuit people lived. Starting in the 16th century, Canada became a French colony and became New France by the French.

In contemporary history, Canada was lost to the British in the Seven Years’ War between Britain and France. However, in this era, the British were beaten by Xiao Ming. The butterfly of history means that Canada is still in the hands of France.

“It’s just that Canada currently belongs to France, and the empire has signed an armistice agreement.” Qian Dafu didn’t understand.

Xiao Ming’s smile grew stronger, “The agreement signed by the empire is only suitable for the current Andre government. Once the Andre government collapses, the empire will not need to recognize the above agreement. East Indochina and Canada will then belong to the empire. “

Qian Dafu understood. “That’s why the emperor supports Henry. If so, we will not only get benefits from the agreement, but also get the two largest colonies in France.”

“Yes, this means that I will not waste a single soldier .

Received compensation from France and colonial areas rich in mineral resources in South America and Africa.” A sharp light flashed in Xiao Ming’s eyes.

“But what if Henry regrets after overthrowing Andre?”

“As long as Henry’s head is not broken, he will not dare to declare war on the empire, because he understands the capabilities of the empire, not to mention this is one of the conditions for my agreement to support him. One.” Xiao Ming said.

Qian Dafu understood and said: “If this is the case, the territory of the empire will be expanded again.”

Xiao Ming nodded slightly and sat down on the chair. Now he is waiting for four things. The first thing is Persia. Defeating the Ottomans, the second thing was Qi Guangyi’s defeat of Tsarist Russia, the third thing was the voice of the British domestic independence movement, and the fourth thing was Henry’s official break with Andre.

Unfortunately, these areas are too far away from the empire, and it takes a year and a half to get news about them.

But now that the empire is developing in an orderly manner, his life has become leisurely, and his free time is always easy to pass away.

On July 30, the sixth year of the imperial calendar, he received the first good news. After three months of training, the Persian army began to enter the areas occupied by the Ottoman Empire to launch a counterattack against the Ottoman Empire. The war between the two countries began. From one-sided to anxious.

According to the news, the casualties between both sides were high, but the empire’s equipment was slightly better than that of Persia, and the Ottomans were driven out of Persian territory step by step.

Three months later, the British envoy Brooke came to Qingzhou again, and at the same time, Henry officially broke with Andre.

However, when the news reached him, the imperial fleet had already sailed to France and handed over the equipment and supplies promised to Henry to Henry’s youth army.

PS: Tonight’s update: I’ve been tired for a long time and stayed up late. I can’t stand it anymore. Now I have a headache, fever, and stomach discomfort. I don’t want to write a word. I endured the discomfort and finished a chapter. I really can’t write anymore.

Many people say that snails are lazy and have fewer and fewer updates. That’s because you don’t understand the life of snails now. When you wake up in the morning, you have to help take care of the children. There is almost no time to code during the day, so you can only write a little at night while the children sleep at night. She also cries, and the quality of her sleep can be imagined.

Because my mother is old and in poor health, now my wife and I can only take care of it ourselves. Trivial chores can drive people crazy, and only those who have experienced it can understand the feeling. It can be said that Snail has now basically become a full-time dad, having to take care of his children and earn money for milk powder, which is more than just a hardship.

I won’t say any more. I’m in a very irritable mood and complain about my miserable life. It’s a way of comforting myself. I hope everyone understands that it’s not that I’m a snail and I don’t work hard, it’s that the reality is too fucked up.
