Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1146
Moscow, the Kremlin.
Brooke is anxiously waiting for the reception of Queen Catherine. The indifference of European countries to Britain makes Britain’s current situation difficult.
Having visited the Eastern Empire many times, he knew very well the mighty power of the empire, and Britain alone could not stop their attack.
It is foreseeable that the British navy will inevitably be annihilated under the imperial offensive in the future, because facts have proved that hundreds of British warships are vulnerable to the imperial navy.
Now their only hope is a land war, and among the European countries, only Tsarist Russia borders the empire.
While he was worried about the future of his country, it was Empress Ekarina who entered the palace from the inner gate surrounded by a group of Tsarist nobles.
Brooke eagerly stepped forward, “Honorable Majesty, I hope you can reconsider the alliance. At present, Britain and Tsarist Russia are facing a direct threat from the Eastern Empire. Only by joining forces can we prevent the evil Eastern forces from invading Europe.”
Ekarina is more than 30 years old, with long brown hair and dark blue eyes. Although her face is ordinary, she carries the noble aura of a king.
“Brook, you are really obsessed, but Tsarist Russia can’t protect itself now, how can it help Britain?” Ekarina sighed.
Since the rise of the eastern empire, she has spent every day and night in fear. The former territory of Tsarist Russia, Siberia, was lost by the encroachment of the eastern empire. Now the power of the eastern empire has even entered the back garden of Tsarist Russia, Central Asia. “Your Majesty, Siberia is just a piece of the Far Eastern territory of your country. Losing it will not greatly damage your country’s strength. Now you are only afraid to fight the Eastern Empire anymore because of fear.” Brooke said: “But Your Majesty, weakness cannot avoid war. It will only make war come soon. Britain’s current situation is the result of weakness.”
Ekalina frowned when she heard the words. She was very unhappy with Brooke’s criticism of her weakness. “Who else in this world is braver than the Slavs! When you cowards are vying to beg the Eastern emperor, only Tsarist Russia Never lowered your heads, and now your plight is completely self-inflicted. You British always like to be clever and self-righteous. This time it is just shooting yourself in the foot.”
The weather in Moscow was very cold, but Brook suddenly felt hot on his face. He knew very well that the current European countries hated Britain no less than the Eastern Empire.
In these years of dominating the oceans, Britain has bullied other countries.
Brooke didn’t dare to have any displeasure at Ekalina’s accusations. He knew very well that Britain’s strength was built on the powerful ocean power, and they were not much in Europe in terms of army strength.
Now that they have lost the ocean, they can only put hope on land.
“Your Majesty, I am afraid you have misunderstood. I mean if we do not adopt a joint approach, we will only be defeated one by one.” Brooke said.
After a pause, he continued: “If your majesty agrees, the UK is willing to hand over all the most advanced technology to your majesty.”
Ekarina’s eyes flashed with a strange color, and she learned that Britain had successfully imitated some of the imperial weapons.
If Tsarist Russia can also master these weapons, with its large population and vast land, even if it cannot defeat the Eastern Empire, it can guarantee that the Tsarist Empire will not be annexed. “I want your scientists, especially the Cordia.” Ekarina smiled weirdly.
Steam engine technology has now been promoted in Tsarist Russia. Moscow has established many steam engine factories. She clearly knows what she lacks.
“It’s impossible!” Brook almost jumped up. The scientists in Kodia were the capital of Britain to catch up with the Eastern Empire. How could they be given to Tsarist Russia in vain.
Yekarina said lightly: “Do you think you can protect them? The Eastern Empire has come, and the British Navy is not an opponent at all. I am afraid that the next step you will face is the empire’s years of blockade. “
Brooke’s heart suddenly sank. Ekarina’s words came to Brooke’s heart. Britain is an island country, and the main source of income is sea trade.
Over the years, Britain has become the richest country in Europe through trade with Europe and plundered resources from colonies.
Once the British coastline is blocked, the British economy will fall into a state of rapid decline.
According to his understanding, the Eastern Empire will not savagely land on the British mainland, and will definitely block the British coast first and destroy the British ports.
Even if this kind of blockade lasts for one or two years, Britain’s food supply will probably go wrong.
Brooke’s expression was seen by Ekarina, and she proudly said: “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 question is so important that Brooke dared not agree. He said: “I will return to the UK as soon as possible for instructions.”
“Then I will wait for your news.” Ekarina smiled and saw the guest off.
When Brooke left, all the tsarist nobles around Yekarina laughed.
“I didn’t expect the British to have today. It’s really happy.” said a middle-aged man in a dark blue military uniform. He was Marshal Igor of Tsarist Russia and the most respected minister of Yekarina.
Ekarina also has no good feelings about Britain. She is very happy to comment on the decline of Britain, which means that he has one less enemy in Europe~~ and it is naturally more cost-effective to take advantage of the decline of Britain. Yes, but she also hoped that the Eastern Empire would fall into the quagmire of war with Britain.
“None of the British is a good thing, but the Eastern Empire is also very threatening. At this point, we still have common interests. Now the Eastern Empire takes root in Central Asia. This is very dangerous for us. We said that while they attacked Britain It may be possible to drive them out of Central Asia.”
Standing next to Igor was a middle-aged man who also wore a military uniform. He was Ivanov, a fourteenth-level civil servant in the office of the Minister of Ekarina.
In Tsarist Russia, civilian officials are divided into fourteen levels. From level one to fourteen, you need to be promoted constantly. Few people can be called fourteenth-level civilian officials.
Therefore, Ivanov has the same status as Igor, and they are called Yekarina’s right-hand man.
He said: “Perhaps we can send envoys to Ottoman. They have just defeated Persia, and now they hate the Eastern Empire behind Persia. They also ceded many territories to Persia. It is said that a piece of Persia was given to the East as a thank you. Empire, I think they will be happy to build alliances with us.”
