Iron Dynasty

Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming and Qi Guangyi were watching the steam locomotives carrying bear king tanks heading towards Raozhou at Qingzhou Station.

After the first tank was officially accepted, Xiao Ming asked the tank factory to put it into production immediately, and at the same time increase the production line so that the Imperial Army could equip at least 500 Bear King tanks.

In addition to the 500 tanks that were equipped with the Central Army, the other tanks were delivered to the Northwest Army.

Although Tsarist Russia suffered a heavy setback in Siberia and continued to retreat to the Ural Mountains, the losses to Tsarist Russia during this period were not very large. After all, Siberia was only equivalent to the edge of Tsarist Russia.

And Central Asia is the strategic location that can really threaten the hinterland of Tsarist Russia, so the Northwest Army has been fighting the Cossack cavalry in Central Asia during this period.

It's just that although the Northwest Army has an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment, it sometimes suffers some dark losses in the face of a large number of Cossack cavalry.

A month ago, a ten-man patrol team of the Northwest Army was ambushed by more than 300 Tsarist Russian Cossack cavalry during the patrol.

After the bloody battle, only one person fled back to the Northwest Army camp. The life and death of the other nine people are unknown, and their weapons and horses also disappeared without a trace.

It is precisely because of this incident that Xiao Ming decided to launch a surprise attack on Tsarist Russia and completely abolish the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia, otherwise the anxiety state of the Northwest Army in Central Asia will continue.

The protagonist of this war is the tank that the empire has just equipped. He wants to use this battle to make Tsarist Russia dare not set foot in Central Asia and stay in Eastern Europe honestly.

Your Majesty, with this weapon, the last commander vowed to wash away the humiliation of the Northwest Army. Qi Guangyi said, this incident made him feel dull.

Xiao Ming said lightly: You don't have to blame yourself for this matter, the army of the empire is brave and good at fighting, but it is also a human being, not a god. As long as people make mistakes, not to mention there is no time to lose equipment in war, you don't have to. too caring.

Qi Guangyi was moved for a while, and Xiao Ming's understanding made him feel at ease.

After a pause, Xiao Ming continued: What's more, even if these firearms are taken away, they will not be able to imitate them without an industrial foundation.

That's true. Qi Guangyi was relieved, But even so, for the sake of the empire, we must teach Tsarist Russia a lesson. At present, the only remaining threat to the north of the empire is it.

Xiao Ming nodded.

This time, he personally came to deliver the tank to instruct Qi Guangyi about this matter. Last time, he established the goal he wanted to accomplish, so from now on, he will achieve it step by step.

Tsarist Russia is also a part of his goal. In order to eliminate the potential of Tsarist Russia to become a regional power, he will next prepare to dismember this country, just as he prepares to dismember a European power.

Big powers become smaller, which will make Europe less threatening, and even if they reunite in the future, it will take a long process.

For the benefit of the empire. Xiao Ming said involuntarily.

For the benefit of the empire. Qi Guangyi repeated, his eyes firm.

At this time, the steam locomotive started slowly, and Qi Guangyi boarded the locomotive and saluted Xiao Ming again.

After returning a salute, Xiao Ming watched the steam locomotive gradually disappear at the end of the railway, and only then did he leave the station and take a car back to the palace.

There's one America left.

When he came to the imperial study, Xiao Ming marked on the map of Tsarist Russia, and then looked towards North America.

In this era, the United States has just been established, and the area that can be controlled is only thirteen states in North America, and more land in North America is occupied by Indians.

If the development of history continues, the United States will then slaughter the Indians in North America and become the most powerful country in North America.

Qian Dafu served next to Xiao Ming, he said: Now Zhu Sansi is in Alaska, and there is an area called Canada across the United States. This is quite troublesome.

Xiao Ming smiled, This is not troublesome at all. On the contrary, Canada will become a springboard for the empire to attack the United States.

Historically, Canada was originally a residence of Indians and Inuit people. Since the 16th century, Canada has become a colony of France, and the French have become New France.

In contemporary history, Canada was lost to the British in the Seven Years War between Britain and France, but the British were hanged and beaten by Xiao Ming in this era, and the butterfly of history left Canada still in the hands of France.

It's just that Canada belongs to France at present, but the empire has signed an armistice agreement. Qian Dafu did not understand.

Xiao Ming's smile grew even stronger, The agreement signed by the empire is only suitable for the current Andrei government. Once the Andrei government falls, the empire does not need to recognize the above agreement, then East Indochina and Canada will be the empire's.

Qian Dafu understood, That's why the emperor supports Henry. If so, we will not only benefit from the agreement, but also get the two largest colonies in France.

Yes, this means that I have received compensation from France, South America, and Africa's mineral-rich colonial regions without a single soldier. A sharp light flashed in Xiao Ming's eyes.

It's just that Henry repents after overthrowing Andre?

As long as Henry's head is not broken, he will not dare to declare war on the empire, because he understands the capabilities of the empire, and this is also one of the conditions for me to agree to support him. Xiao Ming said.

Qian Dafu knew it, he said: If this is the case, the territory of the empire will expand again.

Nodding lightly, Xiao Ming sat down on the chair. Now he is waiting for four things. The first thing is that Persia will defeat the Ottomans, the second thing is that Qi Guangyi will defeat Tsarist Russia, and the third thing is the British domestic independence movement. Voice, the fourth thing is that Henry officially broke his face with Andre.

It's a pity that these areas are too far away from the Empire, and it takes a year and a half to get news of them.

But now that the empire is developing in an orderly manner, his days are also leisurely, and the leisure time is always easy to pass.

On July 30, the sixth month of the imperial calendar, he received the first good news. After three months of training, the Persian army began to enter the area occupied by the Ottoman Empire to launch a counterattack against the Ottoman Empire, and the war between the two countries began. From one-sided to anxious.

According to the news, the casualties between the two sides were very large, but the equipment of the Empire was slightly better than that of Persia, and the Ottomans were driven out of Persian territory step by step.

And three months later, the British envoy Brooke came to Qingzhou again, and at the same time came Henry's official break with Andre.

However, when the news arrived in his hands, the imperial fleet had already sailed to France, and handed over the equipment and materials promised to Henry to Henry's youth army.

PS: In the evening tonight, after a long time of fatigue and staying up late, the snails can’t stand it anymore. Now, I have a headache, fever, and stomach discomfort. I don’t want to write a single word.

Many people say that snails are lazy and update less and less. That's because you don't understand the life of snails now. When you open your eyes in the morning, you have to help take care of your children. You have almost no time to code words during the day, so you can only write a little at night and sleep with your children at night. Also crying, sleep quality can be imagined.

Because my mother is old and her health is not good, now I can only bring it with my wife, trivial things can drive people crazy, and only those who have come can understand the taste. It can be said that Snail has basically become a full-time dad now, and he has to take care of children and earn money for milk powder, which is more than a hard word.

Not to mention the superfluous, I am extremely irritable and complain about my sad life. It can be regarded as a masturbation. I hope everyone understands that it is not that the snail is not working hard, but that the reality is too fucked.
