While listening to the Black Emperor's words, Zhu Heng took a sip of wine, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "France will not stop the Black Empire from invading the Republic of Dewasland now, because the situation is no longer the same. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "It's clear that the British are in a lot of trouble and should not be able to take care of the gold of Africa. "Of course, after you get Dwasland, you should hand over the gold mining rights to a Sino-French company."

"The Republic of Dewasland and the Orange Free State are militarily strong, Your Majesty." The black eunuch Bosaru reminded the Black Emperor that he knew something about military affairs, and he was not only the eunuch of the Black Emperor, but also the commander of the Guards. Imitating the model of the Turkish Guards, 30,000 11 or 2-year-old boys were purchased, trained in the harshest way, and two-thirds of them were eliminated (presumably meant to be killed), and finally a Guards of about 10,000 men was formed, known as "taking the barracks as their home and the Black Emperor as their fathers", and all of them swore to "never marry a wife, never have children, never leave the barracks, and always serve the emperor". Sounds very reliable.

"Yes," admitted Juheng, "the Republic of Dewasland and the Orange Free State would be able to mobilize about 15,000 white soldiers, and perhaps about 5,000 Dutch and Belgian volunteers." But not more, because these two countries do not have many populations. And the Black Empire has an army of 1 million! ”

The Black Emperor smiled bitterly, "But 800,000 of them are not under my command." ”

"If you have enough gold, they will listen to you on 'one' book and 'one' read 'novel'!" Zhu Heng reminded, "Dewaziland happens to have the world's largest gold mine!" ”

The Black Empire's finances have always been relatively poor, although agricultural production in Black Africa has historically improved as a result of the Black Empire's "hereditary agricultural worker" system. But hundreds of thousands of black farms did not bring much tax revenue to the black court. The owners of the black farms were not very fond of paying taxes. O'Hara didn't dare to think too much about it. After all, his court relied on the support of these people. Therefore, the court of the Black Emperor has always been in debt. Sustained by loans from the French. The way to repay the loan was to sell the country's resources to France. At the same time, most of the factories, railways, mines, hospitals, schools, and churches in the Black African Empire were run by the French.

Obviously, the so-called Black African Empire was in fact a nominally independent French colony! And the French emperor naturally would not allow the black court to be too rich.

The Black Emperor twisted his short beard, "I'm afraid that the French people will not support my attack on the Republic of Dewasland, if they oppose it, can His Majesty the Great Emperor say a word for me?" ”

"The French will not object, it is no longer the time of Napoleon III." Zhu Heng reminded.

"Your Majesty. Since the death of Napoleon III, France's foreign policy has been very weak. The black eunuch also said.

"Weak?" The Black Emperor shook his head, "That depends on whom, in front of the Ming Emperor, of course Mathilde's old grandmother can't be tough, but for me...... A black king, she's not weak at all. ”

Yes, Mathilde has a hundred ways to remove the Black Emperor from power! Zhu Heng thought to himself, but now she is on her way to Mexico, because of a call from her father. After the Battle of the Missouri River. France has already begun to turn to China.

"Empress Mathilde will agree to the invasion of the Republic of Dewasland by the Black African Empire, and my father will persuade her." Zhu Heng assured.

"Bosa Run. What do you think? The Black Emperor asked the eunuch.

"It will take time to start a war," thought the black eunuch, "and it will take at least a month to be ready." ”

"Alright, start preparing now!" The Black Emperor nodded.

"Your Majesty is wise." The black eunuch said respectfully

"So can we discuss the issue of the Chinese Navy stationing in Pointe-Noire?" Zhu Heng asked again, "Once the Black Empire attacks Devasland, Britain will definitely intervene, and the Black Empire will need the protection of the Chinese Navy at that time." ”

"What? And to go to war with the British! The Black Emperor gasped, that's the British Empire!

"A world war has broken out, and all countries must stand aside!" Zhu Heng said, "Friend or foe! ”

"The results of the Battle of the Missouri River show that China will win the final victory." The black eunuch reminded, "The Black Empire should be on the side of the victors. ”

"Yes, the Black Empire must be on the side of the victors." The Black Emperor pulled the short beard on his chin, "But we can't pay for our lives in vain, the benefits of the gold mine alone are not enough." ”

is really insatiable, Zhu Heng is slightly impatient. "And what more do you want in return?"

"If Guanhai can get a Ming princess as a wife," the Black Emperor proposed, "then the Black Empire will immediately declare war on the British." ”

"Well, I will convey your request to my father." As Zhu Heng spoke, he thought to himself that his father would definitely not agree, but he could let the second brother adopt a girl to marry Ao Guanhai.

"However, Guanhai Xian's nephew should go to Yingtian to live for a while and have more contact with my nieces," Zhu Heng said thoughtfully, "so that we can determine who is more suitable to become the empress of the future Black Empire." ”

"Well, it's a deal!" The Black Emperor laughed, as long as Ao Guanhai could marry a Daming princess, his position would be extremely consolidated. Because the Ming Empire will be the time overlord in the future!

Zhu Heng raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Then let's wish the victory of the war first!" ”

"Yes, I wish victory in the war! The Black Empire will always stand with the Ming Empire! ”

……

Trains run through the Trans-American Railroad, a railroad built by Jujuan's Pacific Railroad to connect Lordan Province in East China with Mexico. The railroad runs along the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains, with rolling hills on one side and endless wilderness and grasslands on the other.

What Zhu Jishi is riding now is the armored train that originally belonged to Juan, fully armed and majestic. But there were no opportunities to show their might along the way. The American cavalry was still harassing in Nebraska and did not enter Kansas, so the Pacific Railroad south line was very safe. When he arrived at Lordan Mansion, Zhu Jishi also received two good news: the retreat of the American cavalry and the complete siege of Kansas City by the Chinese army. The situation on the North American battlefield is very clear. The more than half a million troops of the Confederates were in danger of escaping, and now they were just waiting for them to come out hungry and surrender - this was Juan's plan, because he did not want his army to suffer too many losses. In the past two months, the total number of killed, seriously wounded, and missing Chinese troops has also been more than 300,000! If you want to storm Kansas City, it is conservatively estimated that you will have 300,000 casualties! This loss was completely unnecessary in Juan's opinion, and he preferred to wait a year.

However, Zhu knew that Juan's actions would hasten the collapse of the Confederate States of America. Some of the Confederate states that had contributed more troops would turn to the American Empire and the United Kingdom, hoping that they would send troops to relieve the Kansas cluster. At the same time, Donghua had at least 800,000 troops pinned down by Kansas City, and the remaining forces were no longer enough to launch a new offensive. If Juan wanted to take Texas, he wouldn't even have the strength to take all of Missouri and Arkansas - he had won an unprecedented victory, but he didn't know what to do with it. Speaking of which, Juan was a very brilliant military strategist, but not a qualified politician.

Just when Emperor Zhu was thinking about how to use his son's victory to seek the greatest political benefits, the door of the luxury carriage he was in was opened by Kusumoto Takako, and then came in the adviser minister Zuo Zongtang, who came to accompany Emperor Zhu to play chess.

"Mr. Ji Gao is here," Zhu Jishi smiled and beckoned to his old buddy, "Sit, sit down." Gaozi, go make a pot of tea, and get some snacks. ”

Gao Zi answered, but did not leave, but handed a copy of the telegram to Emperor Zhu. Zhu Jishi took it and took a look, and immediately sneered, "It's Heng'er's telegram, he has persuaded the Black Emperor, but I'm afraid that the Black Emperor will not be able to sit steadily." ”

"What's wrong?" Zuo Zongtang was stunned, and Zhu Jishi handed him the telegram, "Mr. Ji Gao, take a look, this black emperor actually wanted to propose to my granddaughter on behalf of his son Ao Guanhai, and also handed Ao Guanhai to Heng'er and asked him to take him to the sky." He was dizzy, thinking that if he hugged my thick legs, the French would not dare to touch him. (To be continued......)
