Iron Dynasty

Royal study.

Pang Yukun put a document in front of Xiao Ming, Your Majesty, this is the purpose of Brooke's coming to Qingzhou this time.

Steel-making technology, high-precision machine tools, and metal bullet casting technology. Xiao Ming felt ridiculous when he read Brooke's asking price on the document.

Pang Yukun was also dumbfounded. He said, The British people's brains are really flooded. Do they think they are qualified to ask the empire for a price?

The arrogance in the bones of these Westerners cannot be changed for a while, but they will soon understand where they should put themselves. Xiao Ming said coldly.

How should the subordinate respond to Brooke? In addition to discussing these issues this time, Brooke also brought a British mission to set up an embassy in Qingzhou. Pang Yukun asked.

Xiao Ming is still looking at the documents. The confidence of the British asking price this time comes from three points, the first is the war between the Ottomans and Persia, the second is the strategy of the empire in North America, and the third is the war between the Tsarist Russia and the empire in Central Asia.

According to Brooke, as long as the Empire promised to export these three technologies to Britain, the British would mediate the war between Persia and the Ottomans, provide help for the Empire's soldiers in North America and attack the United States together. ‘

At the same time, they will stand on the side of the Empire on the issue of Tsarist Russia.

You go and tell Brook that Persia will definitely defeat the Ottoman Empire in the next three months, and it doesn't need Britain's mediation. In addition, there is no problem with the North American supplies of the empire, and there is no need for Britain to intervene. As for the Tsarist Russia, the empire will teach them a hard lesson. A meal. Xiao Ming said in a tough tone.

Pang Yukun smiled, Xiaguan will go back and tell Brooke, it is estimated that his face will be ugly.

After sending Pang Yukun away, Xiao Ming remembered the news from Hu about the British bribing and threatening them.

He made a phone call to Yue Yun and asked him to send a team of forty-two warships for a friendly visit to Britain.

Dengzhou.

After Yue Yun took Xiao Ming's call, a look of excitement appeared on his face, and Liu Chen, who was beside him, asked, Is there another battle?

No. Yue Yun's smile continued.

Liu Chen looked disappointed, Then what else could make you happy?

The emperor asked us to send a fleet to Britain for a friendly visit. Yue Yun said.

Liu Chen was even more incomprehensible after hearing this, A friendly visit to the UK? What is there to be friendly with with those robbers?

Yue Yun got up and went to the world map hanging in the office. He said: This friendship is not really friendly, but to show the British the strength of the Imperial Navy.

Liu Chen suddenly became interested, Hey, this is interesting. Anyway, I am idle now. Why don't I go to the UK for a circle, and then go around the coast of Europe, so that those Europeans can see the power of the Imperial Navy.

That's what the emperor meant. After that, Yue Yun walked out of the office and looked down at the steel warships moored in the Dengzhou military port.

Two years have passed since the Battle of India, and the empire's warships have soared from 30 to 120 today like dumplings.

Today, Imperial steel battleships can be seen on important routes around the world, and some of these battleships are even equipped with Imperial radio systems. Through radio battleships can communicate with each other, the cooperation between battleships has achieved a leap.

With the increase in the number of warships, the establishment of the Imperial Navy has been re-divided, and the former Qingzhou Fleet has been officially renamed the Pacific Fleet.

In addition, the Empire has also established the Atlantic Fleet, the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the Arctic Ocean Fleet. Each Ocean Fleet is composed of three fleets. In total, the Empire will have a total of twelve fleets.

These twelve fleets will rule the entire ocean.

However, although the number is available, the current number of warships in the Empire is not enough to be allocated to all the fleets.

Therefore, at present, only the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet are equipped with 40 and 80 warships respectively.

The remaining two ocean fleets still need to continue to wait for the warships to be launched.

Thirty warships are dispatched from the Pacific Fleet, and twelve warships are dispatched from the Indian Ocean Fleet. This time we will make Europe tremble in front of the imperial warships. Yue Yun was in high spirits.

...

Qingzhou.

Brook quickly got a disappointing reply from Pang Yukun, but the queen's confident trading chip was a bad card in front of the empire, and it didn't even cause a wave.

And from beginning to end, neither the emperor nor the cabinet ministers personally came forward to meet him, but only conveyed their meaning through Tang Wenjie.

Just from this point, it is enough to see that they overestimated the importance that the empire places on them. The first power in Europe is nothing but dispensable in the eyes of the empire.

Ambassador Brooke, the cabinet has set the location of the British embassy, ​​and you can start preparations from now on. Tang Wenjie suppressed a smile.

After Brooke had exchanged these ideas with him he told Brooke that the Empire could not make a deal with Britain.

Now the facts have proved his judgment, because the Empire is fully capable of dealing with the current situation, while the technology that Britain wants is strictly blocked for the Empire.

Brook's mood sank to the bottom of the valley, and the trek in the past six months has achieved nothing, and no one will be in a good mood.

I hope you can seriously consider that Persia has been occupied by the Ottomans for one-third of the territory, and it is impossible for them to turn defeat into victory. Brooke's words carried a tone of warning.

Tang Wenjie did not change his face. They had long known that Europe was playing tricks on the Ottoman attack on Persia.

It can be said that behind the war between the Ottomans and Persia is actually the game between Europe and the empire in Central Asia.

If the Empire agrees to the British conditions, then the Empire has lost the game.

In his view, this is of course intolerable for the Empire, and it is too absurd for the West to obtain the technology of the Empire by just giving some eliminated weapons to the Ottomans.

Pang Shoufu has clearly told me that there is no room for manoeuvre in this matter, and the empire will not accept any compromise. Tang Wenjie said word by word.

Brooke opened his mouth with a very ugly expression. This time he was destined to return empty-handed. As a last effort, he threatened: Don't the empire want the British market?

This is clearly stipulated in the armistice agreement, what do you mean? Tang Wenjie was wary.

Sometimes an agreement is nothing but a piece of scrap paper. Brooke was aggressive.

Sometimes children who are disobedient will be spanked. Tang Wenjie did not give in, a metaphor that the empire would use force to force Britain to fulfill the agreement.
