Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 671 A Risk

After Bai Mingxiu commanded the Dunkirk evacuation operation, he took a plane via the Atlantic route to Gibraltar, and then returned to Daming mainland via the North Africa and West Asia route.Europe is now under the control of the Western Qing Empire, and Ming's aviation must make a detour.

Sitting on the plane, Bai Mingxiu looked at the deployment of Daming's global forces on the earth in his hand, and sighed: "It's getting closer."

What he said, of course, meant war.

As the Ming Dynasty's troops gradually gathered in the Xuanweisi territory near Europe, the Ming Dynasty had initially completed the deployment of troops from the mainland to Europe.

In the direction of Gibraltar and North Africa, Ming has already gathered 2 army groups of the local regular army and 2 army groups of the vassal army, and deployed 1 army group of the local regular army in the direction of Italy, plus the Marine Corps, with a total force of about 60 people, under the command of the Mediterranean Sea. Branch; in the direction of the United Kingdom, a group army of the local regular army was deployed, with a strength of more than 1 people, which was under the North Atlantic command branch; Army 8 group armies, with a total strength of more than 3, belonged to the Xixia command branch; in the direction of Eastern Europe, Daming deployed 3 local regular army groups in the Volga Xuanwei Division and the Caucasus Mountains, with a strength of about 60, which belonged to the Eastern European command branch .

That is to say, the Ming Dynasty had more than 140 million Chen soldiers around the Western Qing Empire, and all kinds of sophisticated weapons and equipment and a large amount of military supplies were already in place.

What Bai Mingxiu is waiting for now is for Xiqing to enter the Iberian Peninsula and destroy the last two major countries on the European continent.

On the plane, Ma Zuori, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, reported to Bai Mingxiu with information about Jin Yiwei.

"According to the situation in the court of the Western Qing Dynasty, we now judge that Wenhe, who is in poor health, is no longer able to restrain those radicals who are not clear-headed. Wenhe has been in power for more than 20 years, and almost single-handedly established the current Western Qing Dynasty. If there is no change in everything about changing emperors, but if Wenhe is replaced, Xiqing is no longer Xiqing. However, Wenhe has been a lone minister for 20 years. , the Manchurians, who failed to achieve success but failed, are now gaining more and more power in the Xiqing cabinet."

Bai Mingxiu listened to Ma Zouri's narration, nodded his head, and thought to himself: "Even if the site is changed, the time and space environment is changed, the Manchu Qing is still the same Manchu Qing, with endless internal strife and political struggle, and the Manchus fighting for power and profit." Ambition is no worse than us Han people."

In fact, even the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty had various hidden factions, but due to the influence of the party disputes in the previous Ming Dynasty, there were no cronies in the real sense in the Nanming generation.Those cronies back then were often political interest groups composed of regional backgrounds, teacher-student relationships, and interests, and their existence was for fighting.But now the senior officials of the Daming Lizhengyuan, the first point is to be unified under the leadership of Emperor Guangfu, and then the national strategy and national trend of Nanming are also unified, and then they will have differences because of different political opinions, instead of There will be a conflict of interest through this disagreement.

It is impossible to have no conflict of interests at all, but as long as it is controlled within a reasonable range, it will not cause great damage to the country.

But the situation in the Western Qing Empire was completely different. They fought fiercely with the morale outside the pass. Even if they came to Europe now, there were also losers in political battles every year, who either died or went to the field.Now the radicals have gradually gained relatively greater power and can influence Xiqing in many ways.

Even Fei Yanggu is consciously cultivating new political forces to counter the radicals. Fei Yanggu is full of thoughts about the emperor's mind, which is still something from the old age.Including foreign relatives like Ye Luo, as well as more capable foreigners, they gradually formed a group.Now, quite a few of this group of people hope to stop the war and digest their benefits.

Ma Zouri frowned slightly, and said to Bai Mingxiu: "Your Majesty, the radicals of the Western Qing Dynasty are a trouble now. Among the radicals, they have lost their rational vision. They think that the fear of Daming is completely unnecessary. They have been scaring themselves for a long time. We Han people may have great martial arts for a period of time, but after a period of peace in the world, we will become timid and vulnerable. This time they fought in the European war, We have never sent ground troops, and many policies appear to be 'passive', so these radicals think that their judgment is correct. The radicals have already felt that it is time to take the initiative to provoke Ming. It is impossible to completely defeat us, but They think it is realistic to attack step by step and force us to cede land and pay compensation, especially to obtain oil resources in the Persian Gulf region."

His Majesty the Emperor lightly tapped the table with his knuckles, and sighed: "IQ is not enough, it is really causing trouble for others."

"The most important risk facing Ming Dynasty now is that the Western Qing Dynasty, Spain, Portugal and other countries stopped their troops on the western front, and turned to attack eastward and break into our Caucasus region and Asia Minor region. Especially the Caucasus region, where there are oil fields, for the West To put it bluntly, the attraction is enormous.”

Bai Mingxiu had read the report of the Ministry of War, saying that although Ming's oil reserves had been replenished after defeating France, they could only support them in a medium-intensity war for three months.Now that Daming has completely cut off the supply of oil, Xiqing's only source of oil is oil smuggling, but it can only be a drop in the bucket.In the absence of oil, Xiqing's war machine couldn't start at all.

Therefore, Xiqing still has a very strong motivation to attack all the oil-producing areas of Daming.

Bai Mingxiu has a good attitude, he said: "The war preparations in the Volga, Caucasus, and Asia Minor areas have always been very good. Now we have a large number of troops stationed in these places. If Xiqing wants to attack us, he will be able to give them a head-on blow immediately. Let them know that our opponents at the level of France and Prussia are completely different. Moreover, even if they send troops to attack us on the Eastern Front, it is not a big problem, because I have already notified 'Fish Gut', looking for a little Small trouble, enter Spain. There are still quite a few generals in the Qing army who tend to run away. They broke the agreement with Spain. Facing the weak Spain and Portugal, I think Feiyangu will not mind Collect them directly. At that time, all the conditions of our plan will be successfully fulfilled."
