Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming was testing the empire's first submachine gun, also known as a short-barreled machine gun in the history of firearms, a close-quarters firearm used by infantry.

After the Han-style modified rifle was installed, Xiao Ming ordered Song Changping to develop a submachine gun with all his might, because in his opinion, the imperial soldiers urgently needed an assault gun between a rifle and a machine gun.

This assault firearm will help soldiers achieve faster victories in street and trench battles.

"Da Da Da ......"

At the shooting range, with a crisp and rapid burst of gunfire, there were some scattered bullet holes in the wall fifty meters away.

"Well, good firepower." Xiao Ming said with a smile, as an assault weapon, the submachine gun does not have many requirements in terms of range, generally around 200 meters, and firepower is its important performance.

The combat rate of fire of this Song-style submachine gun developed by Song Changping is about 40 rounds per minute for a single round and about 100 rounds per minute for continuous fire, and it is qualified in terms of firepower.

Hearing this, Song Changping breathed a sigh of relief, these days he was overwhelmed by the development of submachine guns and light machine guns.

Now that the submachine gun is approved, he is halfway done, and then he asks the technician to bring in a light machine gun, and if this machine gun also passes, his character is perfectly finished.

"Your Majesty, this is our fire hedgehog light machine gun, compared with the Changping machine gun, this machine gun is lighter, only sixteen catties, it can be used by a single person, it is very convenient." Song Changping pointed to the machine gun held by the technician and said.

Xiao Ming smiled with satisfaction when he saw this, and he said: "Now that the empire is fighting in the European battlefield, if you are equipped with these two weapons, it will definitely be of great benefit to the war, and from now on, you will mass-produce these two weapons." “

"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Changping replied.

Now the war in Europe affects the hearts of every citizen of the empire, because once the empire wins, the rules of the world will be rewritten by the empire.

After observing the performance of the two firearms, Xiao Ming took a special car back to the palace, and then he made a phone call to Zhang Liang to inquire about the construction of the aircraft carrier.

In modern times, the world's first aircraft carrier was born in 1917, a British converted cruiser, the middle of this cruiser has not been demolished, the deck is two pieces in the front and rear, and the aircraft take off and land both inconvenient and dangerous.

In 1918, the British converted the ship "Kargis" under construction into an aircraft carrier and renamed it "Hundred-Eyed Giant".

It was the first aircraft carrier to have a direct deck, with a flight deck of 168 meters and a hangar below deck with multiple lifts to lift aircraft to the deck and a capacity of 20 aircraft.

Now that the Empire has the capacity to build battleships and large merchant ships, the construction of such early aircraft carriers is naturally not a problem.

What's more, all he needs is for aircraft carriers to carry bombers to Europe.

In his view, victory in the European theater was simple, and it was rare to completely destroy the enemy's will, just as a contemporary atomic bomb broke Japan's will to resist.

At present, the empire is not capable of developing an atomic bomb, but he believes that the cross-generational weapon of the aircraft will have a great deterrent effect.

After all, tanks can still be destroyed, but the Europeans can't do anything *********** such a thing as an airplane flying in the sky.

The arrival of imperial reinforcements made Xie Yuan prepare to launch a strong attack on London.

Before the arrival of the troops rushing to help Europe, he had been following the orders to surround the points and send reinforcements, and in a month he repelled hundreds of attacks by the British Red Shirts, and they counted 30,000 corpses of British soldiers alone.

After London was trapped, the British troops on Hadrian's front immediately chose to retreat, and Lu Jun immediately led the Imperial soldiers and Scottish soldiers to chase and fight according to the plan.

When the situation became clear, Wales immediately announced its accession to the Entente in Vienna, and Ireland sent an army of 20,000 troops to land on the west coast of England.

Now England is completely isolated, and the main force of the British army led by Buterin is sandwiched between Xie Yuan and Lu Jun.

"Hehe, these battleships are really tough." Xie Yuan looked at the battleships on the sea with envy.

He has been in Europe for more than a year, and he didn't expect such a ferocious sea monster to appear in the empire.

"Of course, such a battleship can defeat a group of ironclads." The admiral who led the team said that this time he was responsible for transporting ammunition supplies, weapons and equipment, and personnel support for Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan nodded, he didn't think that this young general was bragging, just the large-caliber artillery on the battleship was enough to explain a lot of problems.

After staring at the battleship on the sea for a while, he said: "Since you are here, you have to put on a show, the task of bombing London is entrusted to you, and this group of British has not yet surrendered, so it seems that they can only come hard." ”

"That's fine." The young general said confidently, and then he made a gesture, the main guns of the Imperial battleships had a range of twenty kilometers, which was more than enough to bombard the city of London.

"Hey, hey." Xie Yuan sneered a few times at this time, it had been a month since he launched an attack on Britain, and he didn't want to win before the war on the European continent ended.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

A deafening explosion came from the sea, and the large-caliber main guns of the Imperial warships burst into huge flashes of flame.

After the flash, a dense explosion sounded in the city of London.

The buildings in the city that were hit by the shells collapsed instantly, and the terrifying destructive power made the British in the city frightened away.

Equally frightened were Murphy and the aristocrats, for during the month of the siege, the central part of London had never been shelled, given the sheer size of the city.

"Murphy, how long do you have to hesitate, do you really want to bury everyone's lives? Do not forget about the threat of the Empire. “

In the office, the nobles trembled with fear, and immediately after the bombardment was over, they came to Murphy, and along the way they saw the tragic situation of the city being shelled.

Buildings collapsed and corpses littered, and that's when they began to believe that the threat of the Empire's slaughter was no joke.

Thinking of this, they were really frightened, and now Vidomia was outcast, like a lost dog, and the royal majesty was swept away.

What else do they have to hold onto, and what about surrendering the empire compared to a life of affluence?

At this time, Murphy was unkempt, he was very aware of the current situation in London, and his insistence in the past month was to hope that Buterin could break the siege, but now Buterin himself is still difficult to protect himself.

What's more, London is now out of ammunition and food, and if the siege continues, London is afraid that it will collapse on its own.

Standing up slowly, Murphy looked at the nobles and councillors in his office, all eager to give his final orders.

With a wry smile, he said, "I declare that all the soldiers in the city of London lay down all their arms and surrender to the Empire. “
