Iron Dynasty

Qingzhou.

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

After the first tank was formally accepted, Xiao Ming requested that the tank factory be put into production immediately and at the same time increased the production line to equip the Imperial Army with at least 500 King Bear tanks.

Except for the 200 equipped with the Central Army, the other 500 tanks were delivered to the Northwest Army.

Although Tsarist Russia suffered heavy setbacks in Siberia and continued to retreat to the Ural Mountains, the loss to Tsarist Russia during this period was not great. After all, Siberia was only equivalent to the fringe region of Tsarist Russia.

Central Asia is the strategic place that can truly threaten the hinterland of Tsarist Russia. Therefore, the Northwest Army has been fighting with 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, the Northwest Army 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 Cossacks during its inspection.

After the **** battle, only one escaped back to the Northwest Army camp. The life and death of the other nine people was unknown, and their weapons and horses disappeared without a trace.

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

The protagonist of this war is the tank just equipped by the empire. Through this battle, Tsarist Russia will not dare to set foot in Central Asia anymore and stay honestly in Eastern Europe.

"The emperor, with this weapon, will finally vowed to wash away the humiliation of the Northwest Army." Qi Guangyi said, this incident made him feel dull.

Xiao Ming said calmly: "You don't have to blame yourself for this matter. The empire's army is brave and good at fighting, but it is also human, not a god. As long as humans make mistakes, there is no time to lose equipment during war. Too much care."

Qi Guangyi was moved in his heart, and Xiao Ming's understanding made him feel at ease.

After a pause, Xiao Ming continued: "What's more, even if these guns are taken away, they cannot imitate them without an industrial foundation."

"That's true." Qi Guangyi was relieved, "but even so, for the benefit of the empire, we must teach Tsarist Russia severely. At present, the only threat left in the north for the empire is it."

Xiao Ming nodded.

This time he personally came to send the tanks to instruct Qi Guangyi on this matter. Last time he established the goal he wanted to accomplish, then from now on he will achieve it step by step.

Tsarist Russia is also 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 is preparing to dismember a European power.

The transformation of a large country into a small country will make Europe less of a threat, and even if they reunify 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 a gift, Xiao Ming watched the steam locomotive gradually disappear at the end of the railway. Only then did he leave the station and take the bus back to the palace.

"There is one United States left."

When he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Xiao Ming made a mark on the map of Tsarist Russia and looked towards North America.

In this era, the United States was just established, and the only controlled areas were the 13 North American states, and more of the land in North America was occupied by Indians.

If it develops in accordance with the historical process, the United States will then slaughter the Indians in North America and become the most powerful country in North America.

Qian Dafu served by Xiao Ming's side. He said: "Now Zhu Sansi is in Alaska, and there is another 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 the springboard for the Empire to attack the United States."

In history, Canada was originally the residence of Indians and Inuit. Since the 16th century, Canada was reduced to a French colony, and the French became New France.

In contemporary history, Canada was lost to the British in the Seven Years' War between Britain and France. However, in this era, the British were beaten by Xiao Ming, and the butterflies of history kept Canada in the hands of France.

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

Xiao Ming's smile became 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. By then, East Indochina and Canada will be empires. "

The money is very rich, "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 and South America and Africa's colonial areas rich in mineral resources without abandoning a soldier." A sharp light flashed in Xiao Ming's eyes.

"It's just that if Henry overthrew Andre and then regretted it?"

"As long as Henry's head is not broken, he would not dare to declare war on the empire, because he understands the empire's capabilities, not to mention this is one of the conditions I promised to support him." Xiao Ming said.

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

Nodded gently ~www.ltnovel.com~Xiao Ming sat down in the chair, now he waited for four things, the first thing is Persia defeating Osman, the second thing Qi Guangyi defeated Tsarist Russia, the third thing It was the voice of the domestic independence movement in the United Kingdom, and the fourth thing was that Henry officially broke his face with Andre.

It is a pity that these areas are too far away from the empire, and it takes a year and a half to hear from them each time.

But now that the empire is developing in an orderly manner, his days have also become more leisurely, and his free time is always easy to pass.

On July 30th of the sixth year of the empire 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. Turn from one side to anxious.

According to the news, the casualties between the two sides were high, but the empire's equipment was slightly better than the Persian equipment. Ottoman was driven out of Persian territory step by step.

And three months later, the British envoy Brook came to Qingzhou again, and at the same time Henry officially broke with Andre.

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