May of the ninth year of the imperial calendar.

When the news of Tsarist Russia, Prussia, and Austria sending troops to carve up Poland reached Xiao Ming's ears, he suddenly had another illusion of history reappearing.

Because in modern history, Poland has also been partitioned and destroyed in Europe many times, most recently during World War II.

But in this day and age, this is not good news for him.

Tsarist Russia, Prussia and Austria jointly carved up Poland, and these three must have had shady deals.

And his most immediate feeling was that their ultimate goal was France, and now they were aware of the bomb.

"It's a real headache."

Putting this news on the table, Xiao Ming was a little helpless, the empire did not have the ability to conduct large-scale landing operations in Europe at present, so the option of direct intervention was vetoed.

Moreover, Prussia, Tsarist Russia, and Austria were all land powers, not dependent on the sea, and the empire's fleet across the sea was terrible to them, but it was not a direct threat.

It's just that he is a little unwilling to watch his layout in Europe being cracked, so even if Henry may face failure, he still has to find a way to let Henry drag them into the water.

"Your Majesty, do you want to lend a machine gun to Henry like in the Middle East, so that France will become a meat grinder." Cui Shangan said a little sinisterly.

Xiao Ming was a little worried, "This Henry has no feelings for the Empire, if he is given enough ammunition and machine guns, his guns may not be aimed at anyone, and Central Asia is where the Empire's oil interests lie, and it must be preserved, but Europe I just want to weaken its strength." ”

"But Henry didn't have a machine gun, and once these three countries intervened in the French civil war, Henry would definitely lose." Cui Shangan said worriedly.

They have invested a lot in Henry, transporting ammunition and supplies from the empire thousands of miles away, just to prepare for Henry to take charge of France.

Once Henry fails, the empire's tens of millions of golden dragons will all be wasted.

Xiao Ming frowned when he heard this, as Cui Shangan said, if he didn't support Henry, the war would soon be one-sided.

However, if you continue to support Henry's weapons, I am afraid that it will not be able to change the outcome of Henry's defeat, after all, you can win this war unless you have the same equipment as the Imperial army, and France is probably a big trouble for the Empire in the future.

So, after pondering for a while, he said: "The French civil war led by Henry has caused serious damage to France's domestic industry and production, and even if Henry fails, it will take a long time for France to recover, so the money invested by the empire is not wasted. ”

After a pause, he said: "Since the purpose of the empire is to weaken Europe, this intervention war is basically equivalent to a small all-out war in Europe, in order to make European countries make trouble for a while, the empire only needs to increase its support for Henry, don't let Henry die too early." ”

Cui Shangan nodded, for now, this is the safest approach.

After deciding on the plan to continue to support Henry, Cui Shangan said: "Your Majesty, this time Europe is suddenly surging, I'm afraid there is something strange behind it." “

"Naturally, there is something strange, I have received news that Queen Victoria of Britain is taking refuge in Moscow, and she and the Empress of Tsarist Russia played an important role in this incident, but in the end, their ultimate goal must be the empire."

Cui Shangan suddenly realized, "What does the emperor mean that they saw through the emperor's layout in Europe, so they did it to Henry?" “

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, "I'm afraid that's the case, after all, it's not a secret in Europe that the empire supports Henry." “

Cui Shangan was a little unwilling, he said: "Just let them dismantle our tricks, it's too cheap for them." “

Xiao Ming's gaze was deep, and he said: "I won't let them be so easy, supporting Henry is a step, but I still have a very important step. “

As he spoke, Xiao Ming came to the map and pointed to the Caspian Sea region, "Most of the tanks produced by the empire have been sent here in recent years, and now Qi Guangyi's large-scale tank cluster operations should be very proficient, so let the Northwest Military Region use the blitzkrieg to teach Tsarist Russia a lesson." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, now Qi Guangyi's army is equipped with one hundred and eighty tanks, which is enough to deal with Tsarist Russia." Cui Shangan recalled, "At this time, attacking Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia will inevitably go all out to defend, unable to attack France, let Henry deal with Prussia and Austria, if he has enough Eagle rifles and Guards artillery ammunition in his hands, even if he loses, I am afraid that Austria and Prussia will be greatly injured, and no matter what conspiracy they have, they will be defeated." ”

"That's right, this is my way to crack it, you immediately give Qi Guangyi an order, this time let Europe see what a steel torrent is."

In response, Cui Shangan returned to the General Staff Headquarters, and while he gave Qi Guangyi an order, he also allocated a batch of military transport vehicles to the Northwest Army.

In order to control the lands of the former Golden Horde, Qi Guangyi's Northwest Army stretched for a long time, and it would be difficult to control these areas without convenient means of transportation, and most importantly, these areas were often flat and suitable for vehicle transportation.

Therefore, the military vehicles produced by the empire are mainly supplied to the Northwest Army.

When the call from the General Staff arrived in Raozhou, a military vehicle immediately set off for the grassland, and every 300 miles, the military vehicle would refuel at the military fuel supply points along the way and continue westward.

After a six-day journey, the military vehicles arrived at the military base of the Northwest Army, located three hundred miles east of the Caspian Sea.

"Attack Tsarist Russia?"

Hearing the news, Qi Guangyi and the generals looked excited.

The region they are located in is arguably the farthest point of the current empire, here they are bordered by the Persian and Ottoman empires to the south, and the territory of Tsarist Russia to the north and west, especially the steppes of Eastern Europe directly west of them, which were formerly the Cossack Khanate, and the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia is derived from the Cossacks who lived here.

Because of this, Tsarist Russia regarded them as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and the investigation has not been interrupted over the years.

"Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while, let the soldiers prepare, this time our Northwest Army will use tanks for the first time, and we must fight a beautiful battle." Qi Guangyi said loudly.

From the mouth of the signal soldier, he learned about the current situation in Europe, and I have to say that the emperor's vision is very accurate.

As long as Tsarist Russia is left to take care of itself at this time, the losses of the countries that intervened in the French civil war this time will inevitably be not small.

At the same time, victory in the war against Tsarist Russia will further make European countries realize the reality.
