Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1163

[Chapter 1150 Blitzkrieg]

In May of the ninth year of the imperial calendar.

When the news that Tsarist Russia, Prussia, and Austria sent troops to carve up Poland reached Xiao Ming’s ears, he suddenly had the illusion that history was reappearing.

Because in contemporary history, Poland has been partitioned and destroyed many times in Europe, the most recent one was even during World War II.

But living in this era, this is not good news for him.

Tsarist Russia, Prussia and an Austria jointly carve up Poland. These three must have some shady deals.

And his most direct feeling is that their ultimate goal is France, and now they are aware of this bomb.

“What a troublesome problem.”

Putting this news on the table, Xiao Ming felt helpless. At present, the empire does not have the ability to conduct large-scale landing operations in Europe, so the option of direct intervention has been rejected.

Furthermore, Prussia, Tsarist Russia, and Austria were all land powers and did not rely heavily on the sea. The empire’s fleets across the sea were terrifying to them, but they did not pose a direct threat.

He just couldn’t bear to see his plan in Europe being cracked, so even if Henry might face failure, he still had to find a way to let Henry drag them into the water.

“Your Majesty, do you want to lease machine guns to Henry like we did in the Middle East? If so, France will become a meat grinding ground.” Cui Shangan said somewhat sinisterly.

Xiao Ming was a little worried, “This Henry has no feelings for the empire. If he is given enough ammunition and machine guns, he will not be able to target anyone. Moreover, Central Asia is where the empire’s oil interests lie and must be preserved, but Europe “

I just want to weaken its power.”

“But Henry doesn’t have machine guns. Once these three countries get involved in the French Civil War, Henry will definitely lose.” Cui Shangan said worriedly.

They had already invested a lot in Henry, transporting ammunition and supplies from the empire thousands of miles away, just to prepare Henry to take charge of France.

Once Henry failed, the empire’s investment of tens of millions of gold dragons would be in vain.

Xiao Ming frowned when he heard this, as Cui Shangan said, if Henry is not supported, the war will soon become one-sided.

But if we continue to support Henry’s weapons, I am afraid that it will not change the outcome of Henry’s failure. After all, we can only win this war unless we have the same equipment as the imperial army. France, armed by the empire in this way, may be a big trouble for the empire in the future.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, he said: “The French Civil War led by Henry has caused serious damage to France’s domestic industry and production. Even if Henry fails, France will take a long time to recover, so the money invested by the empire will also It’s not a waste.”

After a pause, he said: “Since the purpose of the empire is to weaken Europe, this intervention in the war is basically a small European all-out war. In order to keep the European countries in trouble for a while, the empire only needs to Just increase the support for Henry, don’t let Henry die too early.”

Cui Shangan nodded, this is the safest way at the moment.

After deciding on the strategy of continuing to support Henry, Cui Shangan said: “Your Majesty, there is a sudden turmoil in Europe this time. I’m afraid there is something fishy behind it.”

“Of course there is something fishy. I have received news that Queen Victoria of England is here.” She took refuge in Moscow, and she and the Empress of Tsarist Russia Ekarina played an important role in this incident, but in the end, their ultimate goal must be the empire.”

Cui Shangan suddenly realized, “The emperor meant that they saw through it. The emperor’s plan in Europe is

why

he took action against Henry

?

It’s really too easy for them to kill us.”

Xiao Ming’s eyes were deep and he said, “I won’t let them take it easy. Supporting Henry is one step, but I still have a very important step to take.

” At that time, Xiao Ming came to the map and pointed to the Caspian Sea area. “Most of the tanks produced by the empire in recent years have been sent here. Now Qi Guangyi should be very skilled in large-scale tank group operations. Let the Northwest Military Region use blitzkrieg to help Tsarist Russia.” “Let me teach you a lesson.”

“If I remember correctly, Qi Guangyi’s army is now equipped with 180 tanks, which is enough to deal with Tsarist Russia.” Cui Shangan came to his senses, “If we attack Tsarist Russia at this time, Tsarist Russia will definitely fight back. Unable to attack France, let Henry deal with Prussia and Austria. If he had sufficient Eagle rifles and Guards artillery ammunition in his hands, even if he lost, I am afraid Austria and Prussia would be severely damaged. At that time, no matter what conspiracy they had, they would not be able to attack France. “The attack will break itself.”

“Yes, this is my way to crack it. You should immediately give Qi Guangyi an order to let Europe see what the torrent of steel is.”

In response, Cui Shangan returned to the General Staff and gave it to Qi Guangyi. At the same time as the order was issued, a batch of military transport vehicles was also allocated to the Northwest Army.

In order to control the land of the former Golden Horde, Qi Guangyi’s northwest army stretched very far. Without convenient transportation, it would be difficult to control these areas. And the most important thing is that these areas are often flat and smooth, which is very suitable for vehicle transportation.

Therefore, the empire currently mainly supplies the military vehicles produced to the Northwest Army.

When the General Staff’s call arrived in Raozhou, a military vehicle immediately set off for the grassland. Every three hundred miles, the military vehicle would refuel at military fuel supply points along the way and continue heading west.

After six days of trekking, the military vehicle arrived at the Northwest Army military base located three hundred miles east of the Caspian Sea.

“Attack Tsarist Russia?”

Upon hearing the news, Qi Guangyi and the generals looked excited.

The area they are in can be said to be the farthest point controlled by the empire. To the south is Persia and the Ottoman Empire, and to the north and west is the territory of Tsarist Russia, especially the Eastern European steppes directly to the west. This place used to be The Cossack Khanate, the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia originated from the Cossacks living here.

Because of this, Tsarist Russia regarded them as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, and their explorations have not stopped over the years.

“It takes a thousand days to raise troops and use them for a while. Let the soldiers prepare. This is the first time that our Northwest Army uses tanks to fight. We must fight a beautiful battle.” Qi Guangyi said loudly.

He learned about the current situation in Europe from the communications soldiers, and it must be said that the emperor’s vision was very accurate.

As long as Tsarist Russia is left to take care of itself at this time, the countries involved in the French Civil War will surely suffer considerable losses.

At the same time, victory in the war against Tsarist Russia will further allow European countries to recognize the reality.
