Iron Dynasty

Your Majesty, Brooke did not agree to our conditions. He had already taken the locomotive that night to Dengzhou.

In the imperial study, Pang Yukun personally reported to Xiao Ming, Are our conditions a little too strict.

No, it's not harsh at all. If the roles were reversed, they would have done more than us. Xiao Ming said, he was very aware of the robbers of these Western powers.

Pang Yukun nodded, Since they don't agree, we can only continue to block the UK and see who can hold on to the end.

After the two finished talking about this, Pang Yukun turned and left.

At this time, Xiao Ming looked at the map in the imperial study. This was a brand new world map. On this map, all the areas currently under the empire's control were painted red.

The whole map suddenly looked bright red. This was the result of his efforts over the years. Now the empire has controlled 50% of the world's land, and these areas are also very resource-rich areas.

For now, the only places left to stand out are the Americas in Europe and North America, where these old colonial powers are still struggling.

But with the imperial wrestlers who control the huge resource area, they will lose their underpants sooner or later.

But even so, he can't be careless, his goal now is to exchange the least cost for the greatest benefit.

In order to achieve this, upgrading imperial weapons is one thing, and rational use of the contradictions between European countries is also another.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming turned his attention to the warring areas of France, Prussia, and Austria. For him, the longer the war lasts, the better, so that he would have enough time to build his own mechanized army.

Once this goal is achieved, the Empire will have a military presence in Europe.

Because of this, he will choose to send snipers to France to help Henry fight, and then he will send military advisors to France, and even support Henry's more advanced weapons.

After all, Prussia jumped too high this time, revealing his ability and ambition, and he would not make life easier for this betrayer.

Glancing at the expanding territory of Prussia, Xiao Ming left the imperial study with Qian Dafu and his hands behind his back.

Before Brook came, he made a plan to inspect the key military factories of the empire. The first use of tanks in Tsarist Russia this time has obvious effects.

The emergence of this kind of cross-generational weapon, the Russian army was completely powerless, and the impact of this war was that the major military regions applied for the formation of tank units one after another.

To this end, Xiao Ming once again specially approved the construction of three tank factories, striving to let each military region of the empire have its own tank force as soon as possible.

In addition to the production of tanks, he will also go to the key shipyards of the empire this time, and the steam turbines will be put into use, which will bring a revolutionary impact on shipbuilding. From now on, the warships will not burn coal, but oil.

In this way, the fleet can carry on long voyages on the ocean at will while carrying supply ships.

After all, the volume of coal is too large and the combustion efficiency is too low, which makes the current status of supply ships in the empire very embarrassing. Often a fleet sails long distances and needs to bring a lot of supply ships.

Otherwise, the coal on three or five supply ships is simply not enough for a fleet.

In addition to the cannon giant ship represented by the steam turbine, he also inspected the major aircraft manufacturing and research and development centers that had just been established in the empire.

His goal was to have the Empire have a small bomber fleet within three years, while growing on transport aircraft.

...

Dengzhou.

Brooke glanced at the prosperous Dengzhou City with mixed tastes, and sailed to Europe on a merchant ship.

The image of the negotiation was still clearly imprinted in his mind, and if it was possible, he would never want to be here again.

For him, this is a place that he yearns for, but also fears.

Bearing the turbulence of the ship, Brooke returned to Europe three months later on the Imperial Merchant Ship, and then returned to Moscow in embarrassment.

Seeing Victoria Mia living in Tsarist Russia again, Brook couldn't even bear to speak, but in the face of Victoria Mia's expectant gaze, he still told the cruel facts.

After listening to Brooke's story, Victoria's face was ashen, and she said, The Empire will never want Britain to agree to these stupid conditions. Even if the British starve to death, they will not submit to them.

Don't be angry, Your Majesty, I have already rejected them verbally, but what about the UK now? If the blockade of the Empire continues, the situation in the UK will get worse. When I come back, I will pass through the English Channel, and the Imperial warships are still patrolling. Brooke's Worry all over his face.

After a pause, he said: And according to people who escaped from the UK, the voice of independence in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland is getting louder and louder. According to rumors, the empire's diplomatic envoys and independent parliamentarians are in close contact. It seems that the empire has been dismembered. British sinister intentions, Brook said.

Victoria already knew the news, she said: You don't know enough, I got the exact news, the Empire promised to help those independent MPs as it did Henry, which means that the English Civil War may break out at any time, Murphy will not Allow Scotland to become independent.

Brook sighed, It seems that the empire has long been prepared. Like these treaties, this move is equally vicious.

Now Victoria seems to be strong, but in fact she has nothing to do.

Since the empire conquered the border of Tsarist Russia, the whole of Tsarist Russia has been in a winter-like atmosphere, and Yekarina has gradually become indifferent to her, and even talked about expelling her from Tsarist Russia in public.

Now she is thinking of going to Prussia, at least her husband is a prince of Prussia.

Thinking of this, Victoria said: It's useless to say these things now, since you're back, let's go to Prussia during this time, it's not safe here, Ekarina is just a mercenary person, the empire's attack She was terrified, she dared not send troops to France again.

Brooke sighed in his heart. Now they are wandering around like lost dogs. How could the once glorious Empire of Never Set Sun be reduced to such a situation?

After hesitating for a while, he said: Your Majesty, hiding in this way is not the way, and I am worried that the domestic opposition will take the opportunity to rise. If Murphy steps down, His Majesty's future will be full of unknowns.

Victoria said, What do you mean?

For this trip to Prussia, we should seek the help of King Ferret to return us to England, so that we can deal with domestic tensions in time, Brooke said.
