Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1136

[Chapter 1125: Scheme against each other]

“You…”

Brooke pointed at Tang Wenjie angrily, while Tang Wenjie had a calm expression on his face, suggesting that you should figure it out on your own.

Taking a few quick breaths, Brooke forced himself to suppress his anger, and then he suddenly felt a sense of personal sadness.

Anger without strength is meaningless, and what he is doing now can only add to the laughter.

Standing up slowly, his expression returned to normal, “Although this incident is a bit regretful, I hope it will not affect the trade between the two countries.”

“Of course.” Tang Wenjie gave Brooke an official smile.

With a slight snort, Brooke walked out of the Foreign Affairs Office with a gloomy expression.

Watching Brooke’s figure disappear, Tang Wenjie’s face gradually turned cold. This time the British did not achieve their goals through diplomacy. He believed that they would definitely adopt other unscrupulous strategies.

In order to prevent the empire from suffering losses, he felt it necessary to advise the emperor to intensify the activities of Europeans in the empire.

At this time, Brooke, who left the Foreign Affairs Office, returned all the way to the reception office.

The British envoy who was waiting at the reception immediately came forward to ask about the negotiations, and when they learned that their conditions were completely rejected, everyone fell silent.

“The Chinese Empire is too confident. The worst we can do is fight them in Europe. We may not lose in Europe,” one person said.

“That’s right, can’t the whole of Europe unite to deal with them?”

“…”

The envoys spoke to each other, and the room was in a mess, and the manic atmosphere made everyone extremely excited.

Brooke looked at the many envoys quietly, and he was not carried away by impulse.

In his opinion, the empire’s self-confidence comes from its strong military strength, but another point is that the empire does not seem to worry about the current European unity.

Although the compensation payment caused the five countries to quarrel for a long time and their relations were also affected to some extent, he generally felt that it would not have any key impact on Europe.

So what makes the Empire ignore them so much? At this time, he remembered a rumor about France, and suddenly looked a little ugly. He just hoped that would not happen.

…

Castleneuve of Leith.

This is a seaport located on the southwest coast of Paris, France.

Now it is occupied by the French Youth Army.

Six months ago, Andre’s crony Cooper was assassinated on his way home. The angry Andre targeted the officer he had long been dissatisfied with.

Conflict broke out, and the young officers who were already dissatisfied with Andre launched a rebellion and vowed to send Andre to the gallows to repay the crimes he had committed against France over the years.

The war first broke out in Paris, but because Andre had strong influence in Paris, the Youth Army was quickly encircled and suppressed and was forced to move southwest to areas where Andre’s influence was weak.

And here, the Youth Army has received full support.

“Henry, this is the promise we have fulfilled.”

At the port, Mi Zhu pointed to boxes of supplies moved from the battleship and said to Henry.

After the youth army launched a rebellion, Mi Zhu also followed Henry to the south, because he knew that Andre would not let him go.

According to the empire’s plan, they wanted to train Henry to become a dictator on the European continent.

Many French officers gathered around Henry, all of whom followed Henry. The current war situation made them a little desperate.

Although they received support here, due to the lack of weapons and ammunition, they were always at a disadvantage against Andre’s army.

If the situation continues to be bad, they will fail.

“Thank you Empire!”

Henry hugged Mi Zhu tightly. This batch of supplies came just in time. He now has enough manpower, but lacks weapons and ammunition.

Mi Zhu smiled. He took Henry to the boxes of supplies and asked the soldiers to open them for Henry to receive.

The soldiers heard this and pried open the wooden box. Inside the box were neatly placed Eagle rifles. Then some boxes were opened, containing paper bullets.

“Break-loading rifle?” Henry opened his mouth in surprise, and the other officers also looked incredulous.

An officer said: “We suffered from this kind of breech-loading rifle in Paris. That bastard Andre was dissatisfied with us for a long time. He equipped all the breech-loading rifles he produced to his personal guards.”

Other officers rushed forward one after another, picking up their Eagle rifles and looking at them.

Henry was so happy that he couldn’t help but look at the artillery hanging from the battleship. He was even more happy. With these equipment, defeating Andre was just a simple matter.

“Henry, this time the empire has provided you with a total of 60,000 Eagle rifles and bullets, and 300 artillery pieces. I hope you can defeat Andre as soon as possible and repay the empire.” Mi Zhu said.

During his stay in Europe, he learned that Europe was already imitating their breech-loading guns, and it no longer made sense to provide muskets.

Henry recalled his promise to the Emperor that, after his defeat of André, he would recognize the Empire’s occupation of East Indochina and Canada.

In exchange, the Empire would support him in becoming master of France.

“Please tell your Majesty that I will keep my promise.” Henry said.

Mi Zhu nodded, with a strange look in his eyes. When Henry made this request in Qingzhou, the empire judged Henry to be a careerist.

This was exactly what the empire needed. They determined that Henry would establish a dictatorial France after defeating Andre.

Then Henry, driven by ambition, is likely to launch a war to unify Europe, because this has always been the dream of the French, let alone Henry.

However, the purpose of the empire was not to make Henry the overlord of Europe. A unified Europe was not what the empire wanted to see.

According to the empire’s plan, they would end France’s expansion by Tsarist Russia, and in the process the empire would earn a lot of profits by selling arms to France.

“I will convey this to Your Majesty. I hope that you can become the master of France when I come back again.” Mi Zhu said.

Henry’s eyes were filled with excitement, “Maybe this has been realized before you came back. Even Andre was not equipped with so many breech-loading rifles.”

“This is the best.” Mi Zhu looked at the battleship behind him, This time he will return to the empire with the battleship to report on his duties.

Waiting for all the supplies to be unloaded, Henry sent Mi Zhu onto the battleship.

Watching the black-smoking steel battleship slowly leave, Henry’s face turned cold and he put away his hypocritical smile.

He won’t keep any bullshit promises. He is using the empire, and the empire is not using him. When he unified Europe, the Eastern Empire became his biggest enemy.
