"Really!"

Buterin's body stiffened, his lips quivering in surprise.

"You heard it right, but it's a pity that this breech gun is similar to the Empire's Eagle rifle, and there is still a bit of a gap compared to their Han-style rifle, and the bullet is also equipped with paper shell bullets." Murphy said.

After the Battle of India, the weapons of the Empire were no longer a secret, but even then they could not protect against weapons in the Indian wars and could only follow the example of the Eagle rifles of a long time ago.

After trying it, they found that they couldn't make a good firing pin, let alone a metal eggshell and a machine gun, and the precision parts and steel required for these two firearms were even more difficult for them.

It is precisely because of the recognition of the disparity that they are now less and less afraid to offend the empire, hoping that trade can increase Britain's industrial power.

"Great, it doesn't matter even if we don't have metal bullets, as long as we have breech guns, we can inflict more casualties on the Empire, so they will also consider war as an option." Buterin said.

The humiliating memory of the battle in India never left him, so he was now most concerned about the development of British weapons, and he was waiting for revenge.

While the two were talking, Brooke walked over and said, "Looks like I'm going to the Eastern Empire again." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out today's issue of The Times, which recorded the news of the Ottoman defeat of Persia.

Seeing this news, Murphy smiled confidently, and he said: "I think the emperor of the Eastern Empire must be so sad that he can't sleep all night, he definitely didn't expect that we would make their strategy bankrupt in Central Asia." “

"Sariman is a careerist, but I have to say it's done beautifully." Buterin laughed.

"I hope that this time I will go to the empire in the posture of a victor." Brooke said.

"Of course!" A voice sounded behind him.

Turning around, he saw Vidomia standing behind him hand in hand with her husband and the Prussian prince, wine glasses in their hands.

He and Murphy immediately saluted Victoria, "Your Majesty." ”

There was no joy or sorrow in Vidomia's eyes, as if this marriage was just a routine, and after the three of them saluted, she said: "Brooke, now is the time, the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia has gone east, and when you arrive in the Empire, I am afraid that war will break out between them, and the Ottomans are also our bargaining chips, I hope you can bring back some valuable technology by using these conditions." ”

Brooke suddenly felt a little sympathy for Vidomia in front of her, what else did he have to complain about for the sake of the empire that she could marry someone she didn't like at all.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best." Brooke said firmly.

Murphy and Buterin also sighed in their hearts that the Queen's wedding was hyped in the newspapers in order to arouse the blood of the British people and let them come out of the decadent atmosphere of defeat.

Obviously, this approach has regained confidence for many people.

Nodding slightly, Vidomia walked over to the other nobles, for whom her marriage was destined to be a political transaction.

She just hoped that the deal would be worth the money, that it would mainly curb the rise of the Eastern Empire, and that everything he had done would be worth it.

Paris.

Henry looked left and right, and when he saw that no one was following him, he entered a private house.

By this time more than thirty young officers from different armies in France had gathered in the house.

They all had the same characteristic, they were all depressed in the army, and they were extremely dissatisfied with Andrei's policies.

For them, it was André's weakness that caused France to decline and lose its former glory.

"Henry, what's the matter with you? It would be dangerous for us to get so many of us together, and once we are discovered, Andrei will definitely not let us go. ”

An officer said.

"Sooner or later, that idiot will do something to you, and I've summoned you here to keep this idiot from sending us to hell." Henry said.

Now Andrei is one of the increasingly fierce contradictions with the young reformist officers in the army, but he is not as clear as other officers, but hides Andrei's side.

"So you have the support of that Eastern Empire?" Someone asked.

"That's right, but not exactly, the emperors of the Eastern Empire don't trust us very much, and now we need their approval." Henry said, "You also know that the Eastern Empire has set up an embassy in Paris, and they are the ones who inspect us. ”

"So what can we do to convince them of our will." One asked.

"I've thought of a way, so I've summoned you, and the best way to prove our will is to assassinate Cooper, Andrew's most trusted assistant."

Someone said worriedly: "Henry, this is not a joke, if Cooper is dead, Andre will definitely investigate, he will not let the murderer go." ”

"There is a risk to the reward." Henry's eyes flashed with a dangerous glint, "As long as the Eastern Empire agrees with us, we will get a large number of advanced muskets, artillery and ammunition, and it is not a dream to remove Andrei, a fool, from power, and unify the European continent." “

The other officers were silent, they came together precisely because of the same ideal.

"Henry, I hope you didn't lie to us." One officer said, "It's a desperate bet, and if we fail, we'll all be hanged." ”

Henry's gaze was firm, "Believe me, this is our only chance, the emperor of the Eastern Empire is a trustworthy person." ”

The officers nodded their heads, in fact, they were gradually cornered, Andrei was already targeting them, and their situation was desperate.

Deciding on the matter, Henry cautiously left the house and went directly to the embassy.

The ambassador in charge of France's foreign affairs is Mi Zhu, who is a classmate of Fang Heng and is also from Qingzhou University.

He was not as good as the house in the Foreign Affairs Office, but he was also an excellent person, so he was eligible to be sent to France.

Seeing Henry's arrival, Mi Zhu smiled, and he said, "Now you have eyebrows?" ”

"Of course, soon, Andrew's lackey Cooper will be shot, this is our will, and we will retreat from doing this." Henry said.

Mi Zhu nodded slightly, he and Hu Chuan's tasks were the same, they were both to disrupt Europe, he said: "The weapons and ammunition you need are ready, as long as the inspection is passed, this batch of weapons and ammunition can be shipped to Europe." ”

Henry was relieved, and for the dream of the Emperor of France, he fought hard.
