Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 568 Confrontation between China and Europe

A certain sense of tension can already be felt on the streets of Berlin, and many people have gloomy looks on their faces.The situation of various businesses and shops is not good either. Everyone can feel that the pressure of the war is increasing, and they have no intention of consuming or working hard. Some people who have the means have left Berlin or Prussia and sought temporary refuge in other places.

From time to time, there are groups of Prussian soldiers patrolling the streets. They are very concerned about the threat of Xiqing to Prussia. Grand Duke Frederick William knows that Xiqing's military aircraft bureau has frequent activities in European countries, and continues to spy on the military situation and sabotage activities.Six years ago, planned by the Western Qing Military Aircraft Bureau, a raging fire ignited in Vienna, burning almost one-third of the city, causing a large number of casualties of innocent civilians, and causing great damage to Austria.

Now Frederick William is also afraid of the recurrence of the old things, so he has strengthened the security of Berlin to prevent the agents of Xiqing from making trouble.

Duan Muwen looked at the appearance of those Prussian soldiers, making judgments in his heart.

"The Prussian army is considered to be one of the most innovative troops in Europe. Prussia's industrialization enables them to guarantee the expenditure and equipment of this army, and the military force mainly composed of Junker officers makes the combat effectiveness of the Prussian army not weak. in Britain, France and other countries."

From the looks of these Prussian soldiers, they looked very good. The navy blue uniforms were equipped with armed belts, and the rifles they held in their hands were also imitations of the bolt-action rifles produced by Ming Dynasty.Now basically all of Europe has popularized light weapons such as bolt-action rifles and machine guns. Just in terms of equipment, with all kinds of obsolete weapons sold by Ming Dynasty, the equipment and technology level of European countries is no less than that of Xiqing.However, Xiqing's army is huge in scale and strong in organization and mobilization. Every time it sends troops, it will be thunderous, making it difficult for ordinary European countries to parry.

Arriving at the secret stronghold of Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei in Berlin, a basement of a commercial building along the street, Duanmu Wen came here in secret.Prussia does not yet have very modern intelligence agencies and operations, so the activities of the Jinyiwei and the Military Aircraft Bureau in Prussia will hardly suffer any damage.An iconic spy leader like Duan Muwen could walk strutting down the street without anyone following him.

"What's new?" Duanmuwen asked.

Ning San, who has worked with Duanmuwen for many years, replied: "The military build-up of Prussia and the German states is almost coming to an end. The Prussians set up three major defensive cities in East Prussia and the land bordering Poland. Without the defense system, they have a total force of over [-], which is already more than Xiqing. If there is a real fight, I am afraid there is still something to see."

Duan Muwen sighed, and said: "Unknowingly, these countries that we looked down upon before have become a little daunting now."

Han Ye smiled and said: "Duanmu, are you kidding? Whether it is Prussia or Xiqing, at best they are at the level of our vassal army. Compared with our regular army, navy and air force, it is not a star or a half behind."

Duanmuwen smiled and didn't continue talking about it.These agents who do military-related intelligence actually have a very clear understanding of Daming's military strength.In fact, Ming's military strength is growing steadily every year without noticing it.Although Daming didn't fight much, Duanmuwen and the others knew that the Ming army was constantly updating their weapons, changing them from generation to generation, and the Ming army's training level and overall tactical quality were already very high. Taller.

Ning San said: "Now the German allied forces led by Prussia and the troops of the Western Qing Dynasty are basically confronting each other along the border. However, the initiative lies with the Western Qing Dynasty. If the Western Qing Dynasty decides to invade, then the war will break out in an all-round way. .”

Duanmuwen raised his brows and said: "This is a fixed mindset. If there are military commanders on the Prussian side, then they should take this opportunity to concentrate their forces and spread the war to Poland. The build-up has not been fully completed, let's do a wave first."

Han Ye disagreed: "It's impossible. First, Frederick William didn't have the guts. Second, even if he has a slightly larger force now, he doesn't have the belief and possibility of victory. It is very likely that the Prussian army will be reversed and directly defeated." Annihilation."

Ning San said: "Are you so optimistic about Xiqing?"

"That's right, although it's not enough to deal with our Ming Dynasty, it is still enough to deal with these European countries."

Duan Muwen thought for a while and said: "If the war really breaks out, the Qing army may be able to fight to Berlin within two or three months. At that time, our work will encounter difficulties, and some comrades will be transferred with the overseas Chinese. , the other part must find a way to continue to maintain our intelligence system in Berlin, and the supply must be adequately prepared."

Ning Sandao: "Prices in Berlin have risen a lot recently. It is obvious that the merchants have seen the war and started to exploit the common people. These Europeans are really not good enough. If we were in Ming Dynasty, the government would have sold them to stabilize prices and maintain stability."

Han Ye asked: "Will we send troops to Prussia? We can't let Xiqing be so rampant. If they attack like a broken bamboo, it will be a very bad situation for us."

"Xiqing has been brewing and saving for many years. From the very beginning, their purpose was to rule the whole of Europe and draw strength. In fact, part of this was instilled in Fei Yanggu by our emperor himself. Fei Yanggu felt that if he won Europe, he would be able to counter us. So To this day, we have actually expected it a long time ago. Many of our layouts in Europe are also designed to welcome the arrival of this day. Our army will take action, sooner or later, but it is involved in the war at such an early stage It's also bad."

"Oh, that's the case too. It's just that seeing how arrogant Xiqing is now, that even we don't pay attention to it, I feel a little unhappy."

Duan Muwen was very calm: "When the Manchu Qing invaded the Central Plains, they regarded the people of China as pigs and dogs, and they didn't look down on them. But our Emperor's Majesty raised troops and completely destroyed them. When we came to the Western Land, by enslaving these other peoples, we re-established the Western Qing Empire of Lao Shizi. If they don’t like us, let them look down on us, but we will repeat the scene of the destruction of the Qing Dynasty, Ming’s Power is beyond the imagination of these mortals."

Ning San and Han Ye deeply agreed. Ming Dynasty had already grown into a towering tree, or an incomprehensibly huge existence. Xi Qing was really not enough to see.
