Chapter 1189: In person
France.
The news of the surrender of Prussia has reached here.
In a basement somewhere in Paris, Henry, who heard the news, closed his eyes in despair.
Now it seemed that France was the only one left on the continent to resist, but he knew full well that this was only self-consolation.
In fact, France was now in tatters, and his army was shattered by the Entente in Vienna.
The strategy of breaking up the whole body caused him to lose contact with many commanders.
He didn't know where these officers were, and he didn't know what they were doing, was it surrender? Or resistance?
While he was thinking, there was a sudden explosion on the ground, just what Paris had to experience every day now.
The bombers of the Reich bombed an important area of Paris once a day.
He knew that the Empire's army was looking for him and was going to destroy it.
"Your Majesty, are we still going to hold on? The cities of France have been bombed by the Empire, and if we continue to fight, we will go back to the Stone Age. ”
An officer said to Henry.
Another officer said: "More and more officers have lost contact with us, our army has collapsed, and we have heard that Spain, Portugal, England, and Prussia will send troops into France to fight us together with the Entente in Vienna." ”
The atmosphere in the basement suddenly darkened.
The news was undoubtedly frustrating, and they had held on until now to await news of victory on other battlefields.
Now in St. Petersburg, the members of the Entente were not only defeated, but also prepared to deal with their former partners.
It is difficult for them to imagine how France can resist the many great powers now.
Henry sat dejectedly, his military uniform old and dirty, as if it hadn't been washed in months.
The desperate situation made him too lazy to care about his personal image.
Looking at the silent Henry, the officers looked at each other and left the basement.
Back on the ground, an officer said, "You have all seen that he is still foolishly insisting, and we can no longer accompany him on adventures." ”
Once, these officers fanatically followed Henry, and that was because Henry was able to bring them power and benefits.
But now that Henry is leading them to destruction, then they have to think about it.
After exchanging glances, the officers seemed to have reached a tacit understanding.
But just then, they suddenly heard a gunshot from the basement.
The crowd looked stunned, and they returned to the basement.
In the dim light of the basement they found Henry leaning against the corner, holding a short-barreled musket in his right hand, blood pouring from his temple.
Henry committed suicide!
The officers felt a pang of sorrow, but a kind of joy in their hearts, and now they could declare their surrender in a bright light.
Qingzhou.
Xiao Ming received the news of Henry's suicide on the fortieth day after the end of the war in Europe.
The improvised French government announced its surrender.
This means that the last country in the St. Petersburg Pact was defeated.
Before that, he learned that Britain, Portugal, Spain, Prussia, and Tsarist Russia had surrendered.
"It's time to leave for Europe." Xiao Ming handed the news to Pang Yukun, looking a little excited.
"Hahaha, after all these years of conquest, the efforts of the empire have not been in vain, and now Europeans should understand who is the strongest country in the world." Pang Yukun said happily.
Xiao Ming nodded, this war will make the Europeans lower their arrogant heads.
White supremacy will be completely crushed.
Reality will tell them that any race can become a civilized race as long as they learn knowledge, and their advantage is only based on mastering advanced scientific knowledge before others.
And not their racial superiority.
"The outcome of the war will make this clear to them, and the internal affairs of the empire will be left to you during my trip to Europe." Xiao Ming said.
"It's the emperor." Pang Yukun said that he really wanted to follow Xiao Ming to Europe, but domestic government affairs also needed to be handled.
After making a plan to go to Europe, Xiao Ming asked Pang Yukun to go back and prepare for the personnel who would follow him to Europe this time.
After Pang Yukun left, Xiao Ming came to the world map of the imperial study.
At this point, he pressed the last marker on the map of France, which meant the end of the world war.
Looking at the map full of markers, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a sense of loneliness, and then he found that he had a lifelong mentality of seeking defeat just like the loneliness in China.
However, this psychology was quickly suppressed by him, because he understood that governing the country is not a fight, although the empire has now become the world hegemon, but a country's national fortunes cannot only look at the present without looking to the future.
At the moment, he is leading the empire to nothing more than technological victory.
But as he mocked whites, as long as a race is willing to learn technology, the technological gap will always be bridged.
So in addition to technological victories, what he needs to accomplish is cultural victories.
If one day the whole world identifies with the culture of the Empire, takes pride in living in the Empire, and takes pride in using the language of the Empire, then the Empire can be considered a true overlord.
After all, the victory of science and technology is only the defeat of the enemy with fists, while the victory of culture is the victory of conquering the hearts and minds of other people.
Therefore, in Xiao Ming's view, what will be carried out after the conquest of Europe by force is a cultural invasion that will transform Europe from both physical and mental aspects.
Three days later, Xiao Ming came to the airport outside Qingzhou City.
Here is a Empire-made transport plane.
He will travel to Europe on this plane.
The Empire now has all its aircraft transit stations on its way to Europe.
Obviously, using an airplane is much shorter than taking a ship.
And in order to ensure the safety of the flight, the aircraft was personally supervised and manufactured by Lin Wentao, and the most advanced materials used in the empire were used on the plane, which ensured the safety of the aircraft.
In addition to this, he also conducts special skydiving training to stay safe.
At the same time, the transport plane was accompanied by other planes, and even if something went wrong with the transport plane, he could take another plane to return home.
"Your Majesty, after the inspection, the plane can take off." Lin Wentao said.
Xiao Ming nodded, he looked back at the officials who were following him to Europe, and motioned for them to board the plane.
Pang Yukun, Fei Key'er and others saw them off at the airport, and it will take a month for Xiao Ming to go to Europe this time.
Before this, Xiao Ming had never left the empire for such a long time.
In order to ensure the stability of the empire, in addition to Pang Yukun staying, he also made arrangements for the army, strictly ordering any movement of the army during his visit.
After all, the empire is stable and does not need to send troops to do anything.
