Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1149

[Chapter 1137 Total War]

“Self-defilation? Maybe, but no matter what the reason is, he, the commander-in-chief of the navy, is sitting on the end.”

Staring at the world map, Xiao Ming looked at the position of Britain for a while, “Although this This incident humiliated the empire, but it also made some people in the empire give up the illusion of peace. Facts have proved that the relationship between the empire and Europe is a dead-end situation. For thousands of years, our courtesy to each other has only been exchanged for others. Humiliation, I am also responsible for this matter. I overestimated the lower limit of the British. “

Yes, from this point of view, these Europeans are just barbarians wrapped in a civilized cloak. This incident really shocked the empire.” Looked at it thoroughly,” Pang Yukun said.

Turning to look out the door, Xiao Ming continued: “After you go back, you will ask the cabinet to supervise domestic military production, and strive to bring the empire into the era of cannons, giant ships, and tanks as soon as possible. There will be no peace talks between the empire and Europe this time. , We must fight to determine the outcome and establish a world order led by the empire.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Pang Yukun did not dare to raise any objections now, because he knew that the empire would immediately report this matter in the newspapers. Taotao people will definitely support him in launching this war against Europe. ‘

And before, there were calls within the empire to stop the war.

After seeing Pang Yukun off, Xiao Ming called Cui Shangan. Soon, Cui Shangan appeared in the imperial study.

“The combat plan to capture the British colonial ports will be immediately distributed to all major fleets. From now on, the empire and Britain are officially at war.” Xiao Ming said.

Cui Shangan had already anticipated the coming of war. The act of seizing an imperial warship was no different from attacking an imperial embassy in the empire’s diplomatic rules.

He thought the British must not have read the imperial diplomatic bylaws carefully.

“Back to the emperor, the battle plan has been prepared.” Cui Shangan said: “Does this order include the forty-two warships heading to Britain?”

“Of course it does, I will earn it back no matter how embarrassed they are, Zhang Liang said that the twelve supply ships built by the empire will be launched next month. Give them all these supply ships. If the British dare to seize our navy, we will destroy their navy and completely trap them! “Xiao Ming! Hate said.

Cui Shangan nodded and said: “Also, with the help of the imperial machine guns, Persia successfully defeated the Ottoman invasion. The Ottoman Empire, which suffered heavy losses, withdrew from the Persian Empire. In accordance with the empire’s requirements, Persia asked for this piece of land from the Ottoman Empire. Connecting the area between the two oceans.”

“Very good. As a result, the time for the empire to launch a war is getting more and more mature. I will ask the cabinet to organize projects to dig a canal here, and you will be responsible for establishing a military base here. We also need to ensure the presence of the empire’s force here. “

Yes, Your Majesty.” Cui Shangan bowed.

After letting Cui Shangan go back, Xiao Ming sat down. It is estimated that Yue Yun will arrive in Qingzhou in a few hours.

Xiao Ming felt complicated about this general who had followed him to establish the imperial navy from the beginning.

Because the Imperial Navy can be said to have been created by Yue Yun, his influence in the navy is so great that it even exceeds Niu Ben’s prestige in the army.

It is impossible for such a naval commander to say that he is not worried at all, because the current empire is in an era of maritime hegemony.

If the navy has problems, it will be more serious than if the army has problems, because it will seriously hinder the empire’s external expansion.

It was based on this consideration that he decided to divide the empire’s fleet into four.

He believed that it was impossible for Yue Yun to fail to see this decentralization of power that anyone with a discerning eye could see. Perhaps it was for this reason that he played a disgraceful role in this matter.

After waiting for another three hours, the news came that Yue Yun was being escorted to Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming immediately asked Qian Dafu to bring Yue Yun to the imperial study. After a while, Yue Yun appeared in the imperial study in chains.

“The guilty minister Yue Yun is here to see the Emperor.” Facing Xiao Ming, Yue Yun bowed and saluted.

After waving everyone to leave, Xiao Ming faced Yue Yun alone. After pondering for a long time, he asked: “Do you know where you went wrong?”

“My mistake was that I underestimated the despicability of the British and allowed all the warships to dock at the port. “The other decision-makers have a clear conscience,” Yue Yun said.

“Have a clear conscience? The empire suffered such a humiliating incident in the UK, and you still have the nerve to say that you have a clear conscience?” Xiao Ming said lightly.

Yue Yun said: “Others don’t understand, doesn’t the emperor understand? The empire’s equipment cannot be copied by the British at a glance. This is determined by the empire’s industrial strength. As for the decision to prevent the soldiers from resisting, I will They didn’t want the generals and soldiers to die in vain at an absolute disadvantage. The British had already assembled heavy troops at the port, which showed that they were prepared for the worst. “

“Then why didn’t you retaliate after leaving?” Xiao Ming asked.

“Because during his stay in the UK, Hu Chuan told me that he had achieved a lot of results, and the Scottish MPs seeking independence reached a lot of consensus with him. I also believed that compared to dismembering the UK, I could not act recklessly,” Yue Yun said.

“No matter what, as the commander-in-chief of the Navy, you are so humiliated, you can no longer stay in the military.” Xiao Ming said with a frown.

Yue Yun’s eyes dimmed for a moment, and he said: “I will let the emperor handle it.”

After looking at Yue Yun for a while, Xiao Ming suddenly asked: “Then I ask you, did you deliberately make a mistake through this matter? “

Yue Yun’s body stiffened, and he said, “No, I don’t.”

Xiao Ming already knew it, and he said, “I can only dismiss you because of the overwhelming sentiments. From now on, you can take care of yourself.

” Thank you for your grace.” Yue Yun bowed.

Sighing slightly, Xiao Ming asked Li San to take Yue Yun down. The imperial soldiers and battleships were unscathed in this matter, and he could only punish Yue Yun for dereliction of duty.

Imprisoning him would have too great an impact on the Navy.

Watching Yue Yun’s retreating back, Xiao Ming frowned. At this moment, he felt a sense of relief in his heart. Maybe now he no longer had to worry about the navy.

From now on, the Imperial Navy will become his arm just like the Army, but out of personal emotions, he feels a little ruthless. Perhaps this is the loneliness of the emperor.

After Yue Yun’s figure disappeared, Xiao Ming picked up a pen and drew three attack routes on the map.

The first is the route to attack Britain, the second is the route to attack Tsarist Russia, and the third is the route Zhu Sansi went south.

Time flies by like a flash, and he is not prepared to leave his goals to future generations. Even if he will be called militaristic in future generations, he still wants to leave a glorious history for the empire.

ps: What needs to be explained has been explained. These two chapters were poorly thought out and poorly written. Some people jumped up and down in the comment area without observing secretly in the group, making it look like Snail was betraying his country, and even went so far as to go online.

The scolding of the snail was poorly written. The snail’s IQ was off the line last night. The snail admits it! But scolding snails for being unpatriotic cannot be tolerated by snails. Who the hell writes history not to make up for the shortcomings of hundreds of years of humiliation? Yes, the empire has been aggrieved in these two chapters. Why can’t you see how snails bully them in hundreds of chapters in the book? Selective ignorance?
