Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1109
Europe.
The news from India arrived here after a lapse of six months, and for a while, the political arena in Europe seemed to be earthquake.
Tulip Palace, Vidomija was pale as paper when she heard the news, “surrendered? Our invincible red shirts actually surrendered to the Eastern Empire!”
Murphy stood quietly beside Vidomija, and with him there were many aristocrats and parliamentarians in London. “Continuously firing firearms, huge steel battleships, powerful artillery, bombs that can be easily thrown by soldiers, the Chinese Empires weapons of war have exceeded us too much, if it were not for desperation, our soldiers would not choose to surrender, Your Majesty, What we have to consider now is whether to redeem these soldiers?”
The officer who spoke was wearing a red uniform and a sailing cap. He was the most famous General Willington in Britain.
In the previous Tsarist Russian Southern War, the general led the British red shirts to defeat the Russian army, and eventually forced the Russians to withdraw their grip on Eastern Europe.
Murphy reminded: “After the surrender of the coalition forces, the Empire of China released a merchant ship back to report the letter. He conveyed this meaning. Your Majesty, we have more than 10,000 soldiers in the hands of the Empire of China. If they cannot return to England, they can only be in the east. Work to death in the cold mine.”
Vidomia pinched her eyebrows in pain. As a world-class hegemon, has Britain ever been blackmailed by other countries.
But since the rise of this eastern empire, everything has changed. “What price did they give us?” Vidomia couldn’t be indifferent to the lives of these soldiers. More than 10,000 soldiers are one-tenth of the British Army.
If something happens to this group of soldiers, she will attract criticism from all walks of life, and her dignity as a queen will inevitably be affected.
“An ordinary soldier needs two hundred pounds, the officer will calculate it separately.” Murphy said cautiously.
Vidomija’s chest undulated violently, and she stood up abruptly, “This is simply blackmail. We in Europe only need to pay twenty pounds to redeem a soldier.”
Willington shook his head, “Your Majesty, now is not the time to feel sorry for money. With the wealth we have accumulated over the years, this money is nothing, but soldiers are precious. These soldiers are young adults. As long as they come back, we will With more than 10,000 soldiers who have fought against the Chinese Empire, and equip them with new equipment, they can become a sharp sword to control the Chinese Empire.
Other nobles and councillors nodded, and Murphy took the opportunity to say: “Your Majesty, we can hold a dinner at the Tulip Palace to call on the nobles and merchants who come to participate to donate money to save these poor soldiers, and tell them if they dont want to The empire will do its best, and their overseas interests will be swallowed up by the Chinese empire.
Vidomija showed a look of admiration. This was what she had just thought of. In order to catch up with the technological level of the Chinese Empire, the government invested a lot of money in various laboratories.
She doesn’t want to waste a little money on other things now, and these nobles and giants have accumulated a lot of wealth in trade.
It can be said that the real wealth of Britain is these people. Sometimes she really wants to be as powerful as the emperor of the Eastern Empire.
In this way he can squeeze these merchants dry.
“This is a good idea.” Vidomija nodded gently.
Gentleman Murphy nodded, and then he showed a serious expression, “The following matter is particularly important. How should we deal with the relationship with the Chinese Empire, do we want to continue the war?” “Do you think our navy can Conquer the imperial navy?” Vidomia asked rhetorically.
“Of course not.”
“In that case, what else can we use to fight the empire? Let’s send envoys for peace talks again. Now we must do everything we can to fight for peace, the time we need now.” Vidomija’s eyes were firm.
Willington said loudly: “Of course, we have to make the worst plan. If the Eastern Empire does not give us a chance for peace, then we will prepare for war. From now on we must call on all British citizens to prepare to resist. Formidable enemies, until we reach the last person left in the war, they will only give in when they show a strong will to war to the Chinese Empire.”
Willington is Vidomija’s life-saving straw, she said: “Please rest assured to do it, I believe that no one will oppose you, General now.”
After a pause, she continued: “I will also promote the union of Europe as soon as possible. This is the most powerful enemy we have encountered in two hundred years. He has harmed the interests of all Europeans.”
Willington took off his hat and thanked Vidomia.
Murphy smiled reassuringly, and he said: “We have also received news that the Eastern Empire and Persia have been in close contact during this period, and it seems that they want to get anything from Persia. No matter what they are looking for, I suggest provoking Ottoman and Persian Relationship, let their war continue, so that they can contain the strength of some empires.”
For Vidomija, as long as it can delay the arrival of the Eastern Empire in Europe, any method can be used.
Therefore, she hesitated and nodded. In the past, Osman was the object of their vigilance, but now they must become friends.
at the same time.
The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and France also received news from India, which shocked them as much as Britain.
For a time, the whole of Europe was in the shadow of defeat. In order to deal with this defeat, their exchanges with each other suddenly increased.
Once conflicted, Europe, like a gunpowder keg, seemed to be quieter than ever.
After preparing for a month, a large joint mission set out to the east. This time they will sit down again and negotiate with the Chinese Empire.
…
Qingzhou~~ Xiao Ming is driving an internal combustion engine car delivered by the Imperial Automobile Factory in the square of the Zhengda Guangming Temple. After reaching an agreement with Persia, the Minerals Department successfully found oil in Persia, and it is a shallow oil mine.
Immediately after the imperial drilling team rushed to Persia, the first batch of oil arrived at Dengzhou Port in the next six months, which meant that the imperial cars would no longer be idle due to lack of gasoline.
After being transported to the petrochemical plant, the imported petroleum is quickly converted into gasoline, wax, asphalt, and lubricant.
After running three laps around the square, Xiao Ming stopped the car and got out of the car.
“These improved cars are of good quality.” Xiao Ming said with a smile to Qian Dafu.
Since the empires civil strife settled down, the empires life has become more and more peaceful, but under this calm surface, the development of the empire has never been stagnant, on the contrary, it has become more and more rapid, and many technologies have exploded under the efforts of the research laboratory.
Even cars have been improved versions in a short time, with better internal combustion engines.
