"Self-defilement? Perhaps, but whatever the reason, he, the commander-in-chief of the Navy, is sitting at the end of his life. “

Staring at the world map, Xiao Ming's eyes looked at the position of Britain for a while, "Although this incident has humiliated the empire, it will also make some people in the empire give up the illusion of peace, it has been proved that the relationship between the empire and Europe is an endless situation, and our courtesy treatment for thousands of years is nothing more than the humiliation of others, and I am also responsible for this matter, overestimating the lower limit of the British." “

"Yes, from this point of view, these Europeans are nothing more than barbarians wrapped in the cloak of civilization, and this incident has really made the whole empire see it thoroughly." Pang Yukun said.

Turning to look out the door, Xiao Ming continued: "After you go back, you will let the cabinet supervise the domestic military production, and strive to let the empire enter the era of artillery and giant ships as soon as possible, in addition to tanks, this time there will be no peace talks between the empire and Europe, and it will definitely be decided by a war and establish a world order dominated by the empire." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Pang Yukun did not dare to raise any objections now, because he knew that the empire was about to report this matter in the newspapers, and the people of Tao Tao would definitely support him in launching this war against Europe. ‘

And before, there were already calls for an end to the war within the Empire.

Sending Pang Yukun away, Xiao Ming made a phone call to Cui Shangan, and soon, Cui Shangan appeared in the imperial study.

"The battle plan for the seizure of the British colonial ports was immediately sent to the major fleets, and from now on, the Empire and Great Britain were officially at war." Xiao Ming said.

Choi had long anticipated the coming of war, and the seizure of Imperial warships was no different from attacking Imperial embassies in the Empire's diplomatic norms.

He thought that the British must not have carefully read the foreign rules of the Empire.

"Back to the emperor, the battle plan has been prepared." Cui Shangan said: "Does this order include forty-two warships bound for Britain? ”

Zhang Liang said that the twelve supply ships built by the empire will be launched next month, give them all these supply ships, and if the British dare to seize our navy, we will destroy their navy and trap them completely!" Xiao Ming said hatefully.

Cui Shangan nodded, and he said: "Also, with the help of the imperial machine gun, Persia successfully thwarted the Ottoman invasion, and the Ottoman Empire, which suffered heavy losses, withdrew from the Persian Empire, and according to the requirements of the empire, Persia demanded this area connecting the two oceans from the Ottoman Empire. ”

"Very well, in this way, the time is ripe for the Empire to start a war, I will have the Cabinet organize engineers to dig the canal here, and you will be responsible for building a military base here, and here we will also ensure the Empire's military existence."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cui Shangan bowed down.

Let Cui Shangan go back, Xiao Ming sat down, and it was estimated that Yue Yun would arrive in Qingzhou in a few hours.

For this general who has followed himself from the beginning to establish the imperial navy, Xiao Ming's heart is complicated.

Because the Imperial Navy can be said to be created by Yue Yun single-handedly, his influence in the Navy is too great, even exceeding Niu Ben's prestige in the Army.

It is impossible for such a naval commander to say that he is not at all worried, because the current empire is in the era of maritime supremacy.

If the navy has a problem worse than the army, it will seriously hinder the empire's external expansion.

It was on the basis of this consideration that he decided to divide the fleet of the empire into four.

He believed that it was impossible for Yue Yun not to see this decentralization that anyone with a discerning eye could see, and perhaps it was for this reason that he would play a dishonorable role in this matter.

After waiting for another three hours, the news that Yue Yun was escorted to Qingzhou came.

Xiao Ming immediately asked Qian Dafu to bring Yue Yun to the imperial study, and after a while, Yue Yun with shackles appeared in the imperial study.

"The guilty minister Yue Yun sees the emperor." Facing Xiao Ming, Yue Yun bowed and saluted.

Waving his hand to let everyone retreat, Xiao Ming faced Yue Yun alone, and after a long silence, he asked, "Do you know what you are wrong about?" ”

"The minister's mistake is to underestimate the vileness and shamelessness of the British, and let all the warships dock in the port, and the other decisions are made with a clear conscience." Yue Yun said.

"A clear conscience? The Reich suffered such a humiliating event in England, and you still have the face to say that you have a clear conscience? Xiao Ming said lightly.

Yue Yun said: "Others don't understand, doesn't the emperor understand?" The equipment of the empire is not something that the British can imitate with a second glance, this is determined by the industrial strength of the empire, as for the decision to let the soldiers not resist, the lower officials do not want the generals and soldiers to die in vain under the condition of absolute disadvantage, at that time the British have already assembled heavy troops in the port, indicating that they are prepared for the worst. ”

"Then why didn't you take revenge after you left?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Because during his time in England, Hu Chuan told the minister that he had achieved a lot of results, and that the Scottish parliamentarians seeking independence had reached a lot of consensus with him, and the minister also thought that the minister should not act recklessly than dismember the United Kingdom." Yue Yun said.

"No matter what, being the commander-in-chief of the navy and being humiliated like this, you can't stay in the army anymore." Xiao Ming said with a frown.

Yue Yun's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he said, "The minister is at the emperor's disposal. ”

After staring at Yue Yun for a while, Xiao Ming suddenly asked, "Then I ask you, did you deliberately make a mistake by taking advantage of this incident?"

Yue Yun's body stiffened, and he said, "No, Chen." “

Xiao Ming already knew it, and he said: "The crowd is full of emotions, I can only dismiss you, from now on, you can do it yourself." ”

"Thank you for your grace." Yue Yun bowed and said.

Sighing slightly, Xiao Ming asked Li San to take Yue Yun down, this matter of the imperial soldiers and warships were unscathed, he could only cure Yue Yun for a crime of dereliction of duty.

If it is put in prison, the impact on the Navy is too great.

Looking at Yue Yun's distant back, Xiao Ming frowned, a sense of relief actually rose in his heart at this time, maybe he finally didn't have to worry about the navy now.

From now on, the Imperial Navy will be his arm like the Army, but out of personal feelings, he feels a little ruthless, maybe this is where the Emperor's loneliness lies.

After Yue Yun's figure disappeared, Xiao Ming picked up the pen and drew three offensive routes on the map.

The first was the route of attacking Britain, the second was the route of attacking Tsarist Russia, and the third was the route of Zhu Sansi's southward journey.

Time flies like a white horse, and he is not prepared to leave his goals to posterity, even if he will be infamous for being a rebellious soldier in later generations, he will leave a glorious history for the empire.
