"Your Majesty, this is the rocket artillery produced by our military factory, because this weapon has dense firepower, but it is not accurate enough, so the lower official named it Hail."

"Hail rocket artillery, well, aptly named."

In front of Xiao Ming was an army-green truck, with a total of 24 I-shaped launch tracks on the truck, staggered in two rows, 12 in each row, and a rocket mounted on each launch track.

Like the principle of ignition in cars, this rocket is also fired using electric sparks, and a special launch button is designed on the truck.

As soon as the button is pressed, the rocket launcher will tilt out like a hailstone.

After turning around along the rocket artillery, Xiao Ming asked, "How many rocket artillery vehicles have you produced so far?" ”

"Back to the emperor, at present, we have produced three hundred rocket artillery vehicles, and if the empire needs it, we can produce one hundred a month." said the head of the military industry.

Xiao Ming nodded, like machine guns, rocket artillery is a big consumer, and no matter how many rocket artillery vehicles there are, they must have shells.

So, like machine guns, it is enough to equip the army with a certain number of rocket artillery vehicles as needed.

"In this way, by the end of this year, you will provide the army with 600 hail rocket launchers, and the main energy will be the production of rockets." Xiao Ming commanded.

It was not for nothing that he set this deadline, because the next actions of the Reich in Europe were likely to detonate a war, which was the dismemberment of Britain.

The UK's strategy of using quota supply has been strong for more than three years since the lockdown was imposed, and this time did come as a bit of a surprise to him.

However, as the lockdown continues, tensions between Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England have been deepening.

According to Xiao Ming's order, Hu Chuan went to Scotland to contact Scottish parliamentarians as early as two years ago, but at that time, the Scottish independence was not yet in time, and the empire was involved in the war in Europe, so he continued to wait for the opportunity.

Last month, news of a clash between the Scots and the English made him feel an opportunity.

After inspecting the two new products of the Youzhou Military Factory, Xiao Ming returned to Youzhou City with the admiral.

The next day, the group took a special train back to Qingzhou.

During this inspection, Xiao Ming had a detailed understanding of the military situation of the empire, and with the technical level at this time, the empire would sacrifice fewer people in the conflict in exchange for greater victories.

For him, all these years of forbearance are not about fear of war, but about not wanting the empire to pay indifferent casualties in war.

If he can make a country submit at the cost of only sacrificing thousands, or even hundreds, why should he sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers.

Now, he believed that with the current level of armaments of the Empire, he could fully realize his ideal mode of warfare, and achieve more victory with excellence.

Back in the imperial study, Xiao Ming called Tang Wenjie and asked him to tell Hu Chuan that he could do it with confidence.

Forty days later, news from the empire was delivered to Hu Chuan.

At this time, Hu Chuan was playing mahjong with Xie Yuan and other naval generals on the warship, and life at sea was too hard, and they always had to find something to entertain themselves in this big time.

In addition to reading on weekdays, Hu Chuan's favorite thing is to rub mahjong, and Xie Yuan, a rough man, doesn't like to read, so he only has the fun of rubbing mahjong.

"Gee, I've been waiting so long to finally have something to do." Upon learning of the order from the Empire, Xie Yuan said.

"Now the fleet can sail to the waters of Ireland, and as soon as the ships of the empire arrive, Ireland will become independent." “

Xie Yuan nodded, Ireland is an independent island country, across the sea from England, and now the British Navy has been destroyed by the Empire, with the support of the Empire, Ireland does not need to worry about being counterattacked by the British.

Compared to Ireland, the more troublesome are Scotland and Wales, one in the north of England and the other in the west of England, both of which border England, and no war can be solved if they want to become independent from England.

"Okay!" Xie Yuan dropped the mahjong and grinned, in fact, he was more idle than Hu Chuan, and something to do would make him happy for a long time.

The order was conveyed, and the fleet sailed to the Irish Sea, and upon arrival at its destination, Hu Chuan immediately sent diplomats to Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

In addition to protecting Ireland with warships, Hu Chuan also agreed to let Ireland join the Vienna Convention Organization.

After all, the status of the Entente in Vienna would have made Ireland safer than warships, and likewise, Scotland and Wales were guaranteed by the Empire.

So, between being locked to death and being given security and economic benefits, the three members of the United Kingdom who shared the same bed and dreamed of it chose the Empire.

Waited a day.

The next day, representatives of parliamentarians from Ireland, Wales and Scotland, led by Imperial diplomats, boarded the Imperial battleship.

"Councilor Haynathan, Councilor Collander, Councilmember Kevin."

On the battleship, Hu Chuan shook hands with the three district councilors one by one.

Inviting the three of them to sit down, Hu Chuan said directly: "Everyone, now the time has come, Prime Minister Murphy of England is now crazy, for the sake of the English, they blatantly seized your food, and even killed your people for this, this kind of behavior is unbearable." ”

Heinnessen, a representative of Scotland, said angrily: "Just because he refused to hand over his food, Murphy brazenly ordered the army to shoot at the unarmed Scottish peasants, which is a beastly act, and now Scotland has become completely disillusioned with England, and as long as the empire administers justice, we Scotland will become independent." “

Hu Chuan smiled with satisfaction, this Henathan was born as a coal mine owner and owned Scotland's largest coal mine.

In the past two years, the coal needed by the Imperial warship was purchased from his coal mine, after all, it is the most cost-effective way to get coal from here than to transport it long distances, and at the same time, the Empire also did this to buy this Hynathan Councilor.

The Reich's buy-outs proved successful, and the benefits combined with Scotland's historical hatred of England solved the problem.

Ireland and Wales were relatively weaker than Scotland, and their independence was more or less intimidated by the Empire.

After all, for a United Kingdom, it is the norm to fly separately when disaster strikes.

Collander was from Ireland, and he looked enviously at the mighty warships of the Empire, but Ireland was relieved by this naval strength, he said; "Ambassador Hu Chuan, we are ready to announce it at any time."

Hu Chuan smiled and nodded, looking at Kevin, a Welsh MP.

Only he didn't say anything, Kevin said; "Wales are too weak, allow us to make a final announcement."

Hu Chuan understands Wales very well, compared to Scotland and Ireland, Wales is indeed a small point, he said; "In that case, you will go back and prepare for yourselves, and at the same time declare your independence and join the Entente in Vienna, and you will reap the benefits you want."
