Chapter 1144: Rampant Europe
London.
One bad news after another spread to Tulip Palace, Cape Town, the Gambia, Basutoland, Southern Rhodesia, and the loss of British colonies in Africa.
And when the Chinese Empire occupied the French colony of Tangier, Morocco, the whole of Britain fell into a panic.
Morocco is located at the northwest tip of Africa, which is mainly colonized by Spain and France, and most importantly, the Moroccan port of Tangier is directly opposite Spain, from which you can directly see the Spanish coast, and only 2,000 kilometers from the United Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, all of our colonies in Africa have been lost." Murphy said with a heavy heart.
Since the Empire declared war on the British, Vidomia had not slept soundly, waking up in nightmares every day.
But in fact, whenever she wakes up, she often finds that reality is more terrible than nightmares, and the enraged empire is like a mad beast, and any enemy in its presence is torn to pieces.
"How many people are willing to support us?" Vidomia asked.
"Nope." Murphy told a fact that made Vidomia despair.
They thought they would be able to gain the support of European countries, but the truth is that none of them wanted to be an ally of Britain in this war, even Prussia, with which Britain had a marriage relationship.
"Hehehe...... Everyone is waiting to see the British joke, right? There was a hint of despair in Vidomia's eyes.
In this game with the empire, she lost completely, and it also made her more deeply understand the saying that only interests are eternal between countries.
In the face of such a powerful Eastern Empire, no European country dared to involve itself in the war.
"I'm afraid that's the current reality." Murphy's face was equally ugly, and it was clear that they had chosen to put them in the ring with the Empire this time, and they wouldn't have any allies to support them yet.
Vidomia slowly got up, and she asked, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, "How long will it take for us to get the technology from their warships?" ”
"Although we have a lot of data, I am afraid that we will not be able to imitate Imperial weapons for a long time, because the technology they use is very complex, it requires extremely sophisticated machine tools to achieve, and the steel used in these weapons is not possible for us to produce."
In the interim, Murphy had gone from the ecstasy he had at first to the disappointment of getting the technical information, as the painstaking efforts to get things were of no use to Britain at the present stage.
"It seems that we are fighting alone, you let Zaibrook bring a message to all the countries, if they do not help Britain, the fate of Britain now is their future fate, and the scattered Europe will only become a vassal of the empire, and the pride of the white man will be reduced from then on." Vidomia has always been steadfast in her will to war.
She understands that other European countries do not like the Chinese Empire, after all, white supremacy is engraved in the marrow of Europeans, but they do not like the Empire, and they also do not like the former hegemon Britain.
The two tigers competed, and they were happy to watch the fire from the other side.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Murphy's expression was solemn, and Vidomia's words were Britain's last cry to Europe.
……
Tangier.
Liu Chen sat in a seaside office and looked at the Imperial fleet moored on the sea, this fleet of forty-two warships swept all the way from the southernmost point of Africa to the northernmost point, and no European warship dared to engage the Imperial fleet.
The landing operations were much the same, and now they bullied the Europeans with the same ease as the Europeans bullied the natives in the past.
Of course, the fact that it was possible to take all the British colonies in Africa so easily was also related to the lack of attention that Europe paid to Africa.
"General, the French prisoners are clear, two thousand three hundred and twenty in all." A general saluted Liu Chen, who was Yang Liyang, commander of the 1st Marine Division.
"The emperor wants to build this Tangier into the empire's largest military base in Africa, and when the engineers arrive, give these prisoners to them." Liu Chen retracted his gaze, he was in a good mood today, the war was going well, and they were getting closer and closer to the UK.
However, such a smooth progress made the Empire's supply lines longer and longer, and even the follow-up troops did not have time to occupy the ports they had consolidated their capture.
So after taking Tangier, Liu Chen ordered to postpone the attack, but waited for the supply ships to stock up enough supplies in Tangier.
After all, they are about to start fighting against the British, which will be a long process, although the supply ships can provide them with some supplies, but in the long run, they still need to have a stable military base.
After a pause, he continued: "How's the reception of Tangier? We should try to make the most of the intellectual property of the colonies. ”
Yang Liyang smiled bitterly: "This place really can't make us self-sufficient, in addition to fishing, the main income here is the income from the port, oh, Xiaguan has found a lot of phosphate here, these are high-quality raw materials for making fertilizers, but neither the locals nor the Europeans seem to be interested in these, if it is shipped back to the empire, it will be beneficial to the empire's agriculture." “
Liu Chen nodded, if this was the case, he would only have to wait in Tangier for a few days.
……
Qingzhou.
Xiao Ming was listening to all kinds of information provided by Wang Xuan, and after hanging the Cao family's father and son, and dealing with the internal turmoil, the internal problems of the empire were basically solved.
Both Li San and Wang Xuan's intelligence rarely mentions the information that someone has rebelled, and some are just information about the supervision of officials, and the entire empire tends to be stable.
Thanks to the stable situation, the empire's industry and commerce have grown rapidly in recent years, and officials no longer focus on the struggle of the city, but go all out to extend the empire's industry to every city.
And the five-year plan was successfully completed in such an atmosphere, and now the empire is implementing the second five-year plan.
The goal of this plan was to extend electricity to the middle and lower states of the empire, to complete the laying of asphalt roads between the states, in addition to the construction of thousands of bridges across the country, and the grand project of a railroad into Sichuan.
"Your Majesty, now Yao Yongchang is already the most prestigious name in the Wa Kingdom, and the empire's plan can be said to have been perfectly realized." Wang Xuan said: "Now is the time to make the Japanese kingdom forever unable to turn over." ”
Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction, this Yao Yongchang is the secret guard of the empire, he infiltrated the Wa Kingdom under a pseudonym, and successfully defeated other rebels in the rebel battles set off by our country in these years to unify the Wa State, becoming the most prestigious person in the current Wa State.
Of course, Yao Yongchang's achievements today are all due to the secret help of the empire, and Yamada Nobunaga's bitter plan was completely cracked by the empire.
