Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1156

[Chapter 1143 Yekarina]

Moscow, Kremlin.

Brooke is anxiously waiting for an interview with Queen Catherine. The cold response of European countries to Britain makes the current situation in Britain difficult.

Having traveled to the Eastern Empire many times, he was very aware of the empire’s strength, and Britain alone could not stop their attack.

It is foreseeable that the British Navy will be completely annihilated under the attack of the Empire in the future, because facts have proved that hundreds of British warships are vulnerable to the Imperial Navy.

Now their only hope was a land war, and among European countries only Tsarist Russia bordered the Empire.

Just when he was worried about the future of his country, Empress Catherine entered the palace from the inner gate surrounded by a group of Tsarist Russian nobles.

Brooke stepped forward eagerly, “Your Majesty the Queen, I hope you can reconsider the alliance. Currently, both Britain and Tsarist Russia are facing direct threats from the Eastern Empire. Only by joining forces can we stop the evil Eastern forces from invading Europe.”

Yekarina is more than thirty years old, with long brown hair and dark blue eyes. Although she has an ordinary appearance, she carries a noble aura of a king.

“Brooke, you are really persistent. It’s just that Tsarist Russia can’t protect itself now, so how can it help Britain?” Ekarina sighed.

Since the rise of the Eastern Empire, she has been worried every day and every night. Siberia, the former territory of Tsarist Russia, has been lost inch by inch under the encroachment of the Eastern Empire. Now the power of the Eastern Empire has even entered Central Asia, the back garden of Tsarist Russia.

“Dear Her Majesty the Queen, Siberia is just a Far Eastern territory of your country. Losing it will not greatly damage your country’s strength. Now you are just afraid to fight against the Eastern Empire easily because of fear.” Brooke said: “But Your Majesty, weakness cannot avoid war, it will only make it come sooner. Britain’s current situation is the result of weakness.”

Yekarina frowned when she heard this. She was very unhappy with Brooke’s words criticizing her weakness, “This. Who is braver than the Slavs in the world! When you cowards were vying to beg for mercy from the Eastern Emperor, only Tsarist Russia never lowered your head, and your current predicament is entirely your own fault. You British always like to be clever and self-righteous. This time he just shot himself in the foot. “

The weather in Moscow was very cold, but Brooke suddenly felt his face burning. He knew very well that the current European countries hated Britain as much as they hated the Eastern Empire.

In the years when it dominated the oceans, Britain often bullied other countries.

Brooke did not dare to be dissatisfied with Yekarina’s accusation. He knew very well that Britain’s strength was based on its strong maritime power, and in terms of land power, they were nothing in Europe.

Now that they have lost the ocean, they can only place their hope on land.

“Your Majesty, I’m afraid you misunderstood. What I mean is that if we don’t take a joint approach, we will only be defeated one by one.” Brooke said.

After a pause, he continued: “If Your Majesty agrees, Britain is willing to hand over all the most advanced technology to His Majesty.”

A strange color flashed across Yekarina’s eyes, and she learned that Britain had successfully copied some of the imperial weapons. .

If Tsarist Russia could also master these weapons, with its large population and vast land, even if it could not defeat the Eastern Empire, it could ensure that the Tsarist Russian Empire would not be annexed.

“I still want your scientists, especially that Cordia.” Yekarina showed a weird smile.

Steam engine technology has now been promoted in Tsarist Russia, and many steam engine factories have been established in Moscow. She clearly knows what she still lacks.

“This is impossible!” Brooke almost jumped up. The scientists in Cordia are the capital of Britain to catch up with the Eastern Empire. How could they be given to Tsarist Russia in vain?

Yekarina said calmly: “Do you think you can protect them? The Eastern Empire has already arrived, and the British Navy is no match at all. I am afraid that next, what you will face is the empire’s years of blockade. “

Brooke’s heart suddenly sank. Yekarina’s words touched Brook’s heart. Britain is an island country, and its main source of economy is maritime trade.

In these years, Britain became the richest country in Europe through trade with Europe and plundering resources from its colonies.

Once the British coastline is blocked, the British economic situation will fall into a rapid decline.

Based on his understanding, the Eastern Empire would not barbarically land on the British mainland. It would definitely block the British coast and destroy the British ports first.

Even if this blockade lasts for one or two years, Britain’s food supply may be in trouble.

Brooke’s expression was seen by Ekarina, and she said proudly: “You still have a chance to consider whether to let these scientists fall into the hands of the empire or come to Tsarist Russia.”

This issue is so important that Brooke dare not agree to it. , he said: “I will return to the UK as soon as possible to ask for instructions.”

“Then I will wait for your news.” Ekarina sent the guests off with a smile.

After Brooke left, all the Tsarist Russian nobles around Yekarina burst into laughter.

“I didn’t expect that the British would be like this. It’s so happy.” said a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue military uniform. He was Marshal Igor of Tsarist Russia and the most respected minister of Ekarina.

Ekarina also has no good opinion of Britain. She is happy to see the decline of Britain, which means he has one less enemy in Europe.

Naturally, it would be more cost-effective to take advantage of Britain’s decline to make a profit, but she also expected that the Eastern Empire would fall into the quagmire of war with Britain.

“None of the British are good, but the Eastern Empire is also a threat. At this point, we still have common interests. Now that the Eastern Empire has taken root in Central Asia, it is very dangerous for us. While they are attacking Britain, we say Maybe we can drive them out of Central Asia.”

Standing next to Igor was a middle-aged man also wearing a military uniform. He was Ivanov, a fourteenth-level civil servant in Yekarina’s Office.

In Tsarist Russia, civil servants were divided into fourteen levels. From the first to the fourteenth level, continuous promotion of merit was required. There were very few people who could be called fourteenth-level civil servants.

Therefore, Ivanov has a high status like Igor, and the two are called Yekarina’s right-hand men.

He said: “Perhaps we can send an envoy to the Ottomans. They have just lost the war with Persia and now hate the Eastern Empire behind Persia. They have also ceded a lot of territory to Persia. It is said that one of the territories was given to the East as a thank you. Empire, I think they will be happy to establish an alliance with us.”
