Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1189
France.
The news of Prussia’s surrender has reached here.
In a certain basement in Paris, Henry who heard the news closed his eyes in despair.
Now it seemed that France was the only one left to resist on the European continent, but he knew very well that this was just self-comfort.
In fact, France is now shattered, and his army has been shattered by the Vienna Entente.
The strategy of breaking up into parts made him lose contact with many commanders.
He didn’t know where these officers were, or what they were doing, surrendering? Or resistance?
While he was thinking, there was a sudden explosion on the ground, which is just something that Paris has to experience every day.
The imperial bombers bombed important areas of Paris once a day.
He knew that the army of the Empire was looking for him and wanted to destroy it.
“Your Majesty, shall we continue to insist? The cities of France have been blown up by the empire. If we continue to fight, we will return to the Stone Age.”
An officer said to Henry.
Another officer said: “More and more officers have lost contact with us. Our army has disintegrated, and we heard that after the defeat, Spain, Portugal, England, and Prussia will all send troops into France to join the Vienna Allies. Pursue us.”
The atmosphere in the basement suddenly darkened.
This news is undoubtedly frustrating. The reason why they persisted until now was to wait for the news of victory on other battlefields.
The members of the Entente in St. Petersburg are not only defeated but also ready to deal with their former partners.
It is difficult for them to imagine how France now resists many powerful countries.
Henry sat slumped, his military uniform was old and dirty as if he hadn’t been washed for months.
The desperate situation made him bother to care about his personal image.
Looking at Henry in silence, the officers left the basement with a glance at each other.
Back on the ground, an officer said: “You have all seen, he is still stupidly insisting that we can no longer accompany him on adventures.”
Once, these officers followed Henry enthusiastically because Henry could bring them power and benefits.
But now that Henry is leading them to destruction, then they have to think about it.
After an exchange of eyes, the officers seemed to have reached a tacit understanding.
But at this moment, they heard a gunshot from the basement.
Everyone showed amazement and they returned to the basement one after another.
In the dim lights of the basement they found Henry leaning against the corner, holding a short-barreled musket in his right hand, and blood was flowing from his temple.
Henry committed suicide!
The officers felt a sorrow, but there was another kind of ecstasy in their hearts. Now they can declare their surrender with integrity.
Qingzhou.
Xiao Ming got the news of Henry’s suicide on the 40th day after the war in Europe ended.
The temporarily formed French government announced its surrender.
This means that the last country in the St. Petersburg Convention was defeated.
Before that, he had learned that Britain, Portugal, Spain, Prussia, and Tsarist Russia had surrendered.
“It’s time to leave for Europe.” Xiao Ming handed the news to Pang Yukun, his expression a little excited.
“Hahaha, after all these years of battle, the empire’s efforts have not been in vain. Now Europeans should understand who is the strongest country in the world.” Pang Yukun said happily.
Xiao Ming nodded. This war will cause Europeans to lower their proud heads.
White supremacy will be completely crushed.
The reality will tell them that as long as they learn knowledge, any race can become a civilized race. Their advantage is only based on the advanced scientific knowledge mastered earlier than others.
Rather than their racial advantage.
“The result of the war will let them know this, and the internal affairs of the empire will be handed over to you during the time I traveled to Europe.” Xiao Ming said.
“It’s the emperor.” Pang Yukun said. He wanted to follow Xiao Ming to Europe, but domestic government affairs also needed someone to handle.
Making a plan to travel to Europe, Xiao Ming asked Pang Yukun to go back and prepare the personnel who would follow him to Europe this time.
After Pang Yukun left, Xiao Ming came to the world map in the Imperial Study Room.
At this time, he pressed the last mark on the map of France, which meant that the world war was over.
Looking at the map full of markers, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a sense of loneliness. At this moment, he found that he had a lifelong mentality of seeking defeat just like the loneliness seeking defeat in the novel.
But this kind of psychology was quickly suppressed by him, because he understood that governing the country is not a fight. Although the empire has become the world’s hegemon, the national fortune of a country cannot only look at the present without looking at the future.
At present, he is leading the empire to victory in technology.
But just as he mocked white people, as long as a race is willing to learn technology, the technological gap will always be wiped out.
So in addition to technological victory ~~, what he needs to accomplish is cultural victory.
If one day the whole world recognizes the culture of the empire, takes the honor of living in the empire, and prides itself on using the language of the empire, then the empire can be regarded as the true overlord.
After all, technological victory only defeated the enemy with fists, and cultural victory conquered the hearts of other people.
Therefore, in Xiao Ming’s view, what will be carried out after the conquering of Europe by force is a cultural invasion, transforming Europe both physically and mentally.
Three days later, Xiao Ming arrived at the airport outside Qingzhou City.
An empire-made transport plane parked here.
He will take this plane to Europe.
Now the Empire has all established aircraft transfer stations on the road to Europe.
Obviously, using an airplane is much shorter than taking a ship.
And in order to ensure the safety of the flight, the aircraft was personally supervised and manufactured by Lin Wentao. The aircraft used the most advanced materials of the Empire, which ensured the safety of the aircraft.
In addition, he also carried out special skydiving training to ensure safety.
At the same time, this transport plane is accompanied by other planes. Even if the transport plane has problems, he can still take other planes to return.
“Your Majesty, after the inspection, the plane can take off.” Lin Wentao said.
Xiao Ming nodded, he looked back at the officials who followed him to Europe and motioned for them to board the plane.
Pang Yukun, Fei Yaoer and others saw off at the airport. This time Xiao Ming’s trip to Europe will take a month.
Before that, Xiao Ming had never left the empire for so long.
In order to ensure the stability of the empire, in addition to Pang Yukun’s stay, he also deployed the army and strictly ordered the army to have any mobilization during his visit. )!!
