Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1153
May of the ninth year of the Empire calendar.
When the news that the three countries of Tsarist Russia, Prussia, and Austria sent troops to divide Poland reached Xiao Ming’s ears, he suddenly had another illusion of historical recurrence.
Because in contemporary history, Poland has been divided up and destroyed many times in Europe, the most recent one was even during World War II.
But in this era, this is not good news for him.
Tsarist Russia, Prussia, and an Austrian jointly carve up Poland. There must be shady deals among these three companies.
And his most direct feeling is that their ultimate goal is France, and now they are aware of the bomb.
“It’s really a headache.”
Putting this news on the table, Xiao Ming was a little helpless. At present, the Empire did not have the ability to conduct large-scale landing operations in Europe, so the option of direct intervention was rejected.
Furthermore, Prussia, Tsarist Russia, and Austria are all land powers and do not rely heavily on the sea. The empire’s fleet of seas is terrible to them, but it does not pose a direct threat.
He was really unwilling to just watch his layout 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.
“The emperor, do you want to rent a machine gun to Henry like in the Middle East? In this way, France can become a meat grinder.” Cui Shangan said insidiously.
Xiao Ming was a little worried, “This Henry has no feelings for the empire. If he is given enough ammunition and machine guns, it is not certain that his muzzle is aimed at anyone. Moreover, Central Asia is where the empires oil interests are and must be kept, but Europe I just want to weaken its power.”
“But Henry does not have a machine gun. Once these three countries intervene in the French Civil War, Henry will undoubtedly lose.” Cui Shangan said worriedly.
They have invested a lot in Henry, transporting ammunition from the empire and replenishing all kinds of supplies, just to let Henry take charge of France.
Once Henry failed, the empire’s investment of tens of millions of golden dragons was all overwhelmed.
Xiao Ming frowned when he heard this. As Cui Shangan said, if Henry was not supported, the war would soon fall to one side.
But if you continue to support Henry’s weapons, I am afraid that Henry’s defeat will not be changed. After all, unless you have the same equipment as the imperial army, you can win the war, and France armed by the empire 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 French domestic industry and production. Even if Henry fails, France will take a long time to recover. Therefore, the money invested by the empire is also Not in vain.”
After a pause, he said: “Since the purpose of the empire is to weaken Europe, this intervention in the war is basically a small total European war. In order to allow European countries to fight for a while, the empire only needs to increase its support to Henry. Just do it, don’t let Henry die too early.”
Cui Shangan nodded, this is the safest way for now.
After making a plan to continue to support Henry, Cui Shangan said: “The emperor, this time Europe is suddenly surging, I’m afraid there is something strange behind this.”
“There are naturally strange things. I have received news that Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom is taking refuge in Moscow. In this incident, she and the Queen of Tsarist Russia played an important role, but in the end, they finally The goal must be empire.”
Cui Shangan suddenly realized, “The emperor meant that they had seen through the emperor’s layout in Europe, and they did it on Henry?”
Xiao Ming nodded slightly, “I’m afraid that is the case, after all, it is not a secret that the Empire supports Henry in Europe.”
Cui Shangan was a little unwilling, he said: “Just let them dismantle our trick, it is too cheap for them.”
Xiao Ming’s eyes were deep, and he said, “I won’t let them so easily. Supporting Henry is a step, but I still have a very important step.”
When speaking, Xiao Ming came to the map and pointed his finger at the Caspian Sea area. “In recent years, most of the tanks produced by the Empire have been sent here. Now Qi Guangyi’s large-scale tank group operations should be very proficient, so let the Northwest Military Region use blitzkrieg. Lets teach Tsarist Russia a lesson.” “If I remember correctly, Qi Guangyis army is now equipped with 180 tanks, which is enough to deal with Tsarist Russia.” Cui Shangan recalled, “At this time, when attacking Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia will inevitably return with all its strength. Defensive, unable to attack France, allowing Henry to deal with Prussia and Austria. If he has sufficient eagle rifles and guard artillery ammunition in his hands, even if he loses, Austria and Prussia will be greatly injured. At that time, no matter what conspiracy they have Or break it.”
“Yes, this is my method of cracking, you immediately give Qi Guangyi an order, this time let Europe see what is steel torrent.”
In response, Cui Shangan returned to the General Staff. While giving Qi Guangyi an order, he also allocated a batch of military transport vehicles to the Northwest Army.
In order to control the land of the former Golden Horde, Qi Guangyi’s Northwest Army extended a long way. Without convenient transportation, it would be difficult to control these areas, and the most important thing is that these areas are often flat and suitable for vehicle transportation.
Therefore, the military vehicles produced by the Empire are mainly supplied to the Northwest Army.
The General Staffs phone number arrived in Raozhou, and a military vehicle immediately set off toward the grassland. Every three hundred miles, the military vehicle would refuel at military fueling points along the way and continue to the 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.
“Offensive to Tsarist Russia?”
Upon hearing this news, Qi Guangyi and the generals looked excited.
The area they are in can be said to be the farthest under the control of the empire. Here, they are south of the Persian and Ottoman empires, north and west are the territories of Tsarist Russia, especially the Eastern European steppes directly west of them, which used to be In the Cossack Khanate, the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia originated from the Cossacks who lived here.
Because of this, Tsarist Russia regarded them as thorns in their eyes and thorns in their flesh, and they have not been smashed in the past years. “For a while, let the soldiers prepare for a thousand-day use of troops. This time our Northwest Army uses tanks for the first time. We must fight a beautiful battle.” Qi Guangyi said loudly.
He learned the current situation in Europe from the mouth of the signal soldier, and he has to say that the emperor’s vision is very accurate.
As long as Tsarist Russia is overwhelmed at this time, the losses of the countries involved in the French civil war will inevitably be significant.
At the same time, the victory of the war against Tsarist Russia will further enable European countries to recognize the reality.
