Iron Dynasty

Yushufang.

Pang Yukun put a document in front of Xiao Ming, "The emperor, this is Brooke's purpose for coming to Qingzhou this time."

"Steel-making technology, high-precision machine tools, and metal bullet casting technology." Xiao Ming read the documents and found Brooke's asking price very ridiculous.

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?" "The arrogance in the bones of these Westerners can't be changed for a while, but they will soon You will understand where you should put yourself." Xiao Ming said coldly.

"Then how should the officer respond to Brooke? In addition to discussing these issues this time, Brooke also brought a British delegation to set up an embassy in Qingzhou." Pang Yukun asked.

Xiao Ming is still looking at the document. This time Britain’s confidence in asking prices comes from three points. The first is the war between Ottoman and Persia, the second is the strategy of the empire in North America, and the third is the war between Russia and the empire in Central Asia.

According to Brooke, as long as the Empire agrees to export these three technologies to Britain, then Britain will mediate the war between Persia and Ottoman, 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.

"Go and tell Brook that Persia will definitely defeat the Ottoman Empire in the next three months. There is no need for British mediation. In addition, there is no problem with the North American supplies of the empire, and there is no need for Britain to intervene. For Tsarist Russia, the empire will severely teach them. A meal." Xiao Ming said in a strong tone.

Pang Yukun smiled, "The next official will go back and tell Brook, I guess his face will be ugly."

When Pang Yukun was sent away, Xiao Ming remembered the news from Hu about the British bribery and threats to them.

He called Yue Yun and asked him to send a team of 42 warships to make a "friendly" visit to Britain.

Dengzhou.

After Yue Yun took the call from Xiao Ming, there was an expression of excitement on his face. Liu Chen on the side asked, "Is there another battle?"

"No." Yue Yun's smile remained undiminished.

Liu Chen showed a disappointed look, "Then what else can make you happy?" "The emperor asked us to send a fleet to Britain for a friendly visit." Yue Yun said.

Liu Chen didn't understand even more after hearing this, "A friendly visit to Britain? What is worthy of friendship with those robbers?"

Yue Yun got up and went to the world map hung by the office. He said: "This friendship is not really friendly, but to show Britain the power of the Imperial Navy."

Liu Chen became interested, "Hey, this is interesting, anyway, I am still idle now, it is better to go to the UK and then go around the coast of Europe, let those Europeans see the power of the Imperial Navy."

"That's what the emperor meant." After all, Yue Yun walked out of the office and looked down at the steel battleship parked in the Dengzhou military port.

Two years have passed since the Battle of India. In the past two years, the empire’s warships have soared from 30 to 120 today.

Today, the Empire’s steel battleships can be seen on important routes around the world, and some of these battleships are even equipped with the Empire’s radio system. The radio battleships can communicate with each other, allowing the cooperation between the battleships to achieve 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 also established the Atlantic Fleet, the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the Arctic Ocean Fleet. Each Ocean Fleet consists of three fleets. In total, the Empire will have a total of 12 fleets.

These twelve fleets will rule the entire ocean.

However, despite the number, the current number of empire warships is not enough to be allocated to all fleets.

So at present, the Empire has only the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet with 40 and 80 warships respectively.

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

"Thirty warships are drawn from the Pacific Fleet and 12 warships are drawn from the Indian Ocean Fleet. This time we will make Europe tremble in front of the imperial warships." Yue Yun was very energetic.

...

Qingzhou.

Brooke quickly got a disappointing answer from Pang Yukun. The queen's confident trading chip was a bad card in front of the empire, and it did not even cause a stir.

Moreover, from the beginning to the end, the imperial emperor and cabinet ministers did not come out to meet him in person, only conveyed their meaning through Tang Wenjie.

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

"Ambassador Brooke, the cabinet has already determined the location of the British Embassy. From now on, you can start preparations." Tang Wenjie forced a smile.

After Brooke exchanged these opinions with him, he told the Brooke Empire that it was impossible to do business with Britain.

Now facts have proved his judgment, because for the empire, it is fully capable of coping with the current situation, while the technology required by the UK is strictly blocked by the empire.

Brooke's mood sank to the bottom. This half-year trek didn't get anything, no one would be in a good mood.

"I hope you can seriously consider that Persia has been occupied by Ottomans one-third of the territory, and they have no chance of turning defeat into victory." Brooke said with a warning tone.

Tang Wenjie didn't change his face~www.ltnovel.com~ They knew that the Ottomans attacked Persia for a long time and it was Europe who was in it.

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

If the empire agrees to the British conditions, it means that the empire has failed in the game.

In his opinion, this is of course intolerable by the empire. Moreover, it is ridiculous that the West just gave Ottoman some eliminated weapons and wanted to obtain the technology of the empire through this.

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

Brook opened his mouth with a very ugly expression. He was destined to return empty-handed this time. As a final effort, he threatened: "Doesn't the empire want the British market?" This is clearly stipulated in the armistice agreement, you guys What does it mean?" Tang Wenjie said with caution.

"Sometimes an agreement is just a piece of waste paper." Brooke is aggressive. "Sometimes a child who is 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.
