"George, thanks to your good offices, we can regain the support of Her Majesty the Queen. How did you convince those bastards in Parliament!" Wu Sangui shook the whiskey in his hand, and the ice cubes clinked in the glass.

"Wu! What I brought back this time is not all good news." George shook the glass in his hand and spoke very sadly.

"What's wrong? Could it be that London has changed its mind again? I knew these sons of bitches were unreliable. I really want to bring troops back to London and kill all those bastards in the Parliament." Wu Sangui immediately heard what George said.

Angry.

"That's not true. There is a big problem with the empire." George said a little weakly.

"There is a problem in the empire? What problem?" Wu Sangui immediately sat up in shock. Aid from the British Empire was his only reinforcement. If there was a problem in the British Empire, the next battle would be dangerous.

"The North American Territory has officially declared its independence. The empire has suffered an unprecedented defeat in North America. Now, the soldiers of the North American Territory have withdrawn."

"No way! How can the few broken guns in the North American Territory be bigger than the empire's army? The empire's army is equipped with rifles provided by us. They also have mortars, how could they...!" Wu Sangui listened.

When I heard the news, I couldn't close my mouth in surprise.

"The imperial army does use the equipment we support, but Franklin and Washington in the North American territory are not idle either. They got weapons and equipment from Li Xiao, as well as lots of ammunition. They already have a lot of people,

There are French people helping behind the scenes, so...!

After successive defeats, the empire had to withdraw its troops from the North American territory. The empire... completely lost North America." George leaned on his chair dejectedly.

"It's Li Xiao again. The world is so big, why is he everywhere? Australia was invaded by him with his naval power, and now the North American territory is finished. Those colonies in Africa can't become a climate at all.

In this way, the empire does not want to reconcile with us. But the only overseas territory they maintain now is our India. In other words, even if they don’t want to support us, they have to support us. Hahaha! For us,

This is a damn good thing.

We must take advantage of this opportunity to ask for a lot of things and people from London. Especially for PhDs from Oxford and Cambridge, as long as they are willing to come to India, their salaries will be higher. Under such heavy rewards, I believe there are no brave men.

Yes! We are also recruiting scientists from all over Europe. As long as they are willing to come to India, I, Wu Sangui, will definitely be willing to spend money." Wu Sangui's eyes gleamed with excitement, and he finally had the opportunity to speak like a lion.

“I have done all these things, but I don’t know how effective they will be.

There are some other things you need to know. The French Revolution has been raging for several years. Now that the dust has finally settled, the French expeditionary force general named Napoleon returned to Paris. When I came back, I heard that he had seized power in France.

In those days, the Parliament was meeting all day long, discussing whether to form an intervention army and intervene in French affairs."

"That means that Europe is preparing to go to war. You said, if Europe goes to war, should we aid the mainland? If that is the case, we will have to raise the price.

Sure enough, Li Xiao was right, political power can come from the barrel of a gun.

The literati in Paris have been making a fuss for several years, but in the end they let the gunman take it away. I have to say, Li Xiao still has a few brushes. We really have to learn from him!" Wu Sangui held the wine glass,

Sipping wine and pacing.

"Wu! The empire is in trouble, you can't add insult to injury like this." After all, he is a member of the royal family, and George still has late feelings for England. It's okay if he doesn't help at this time. He can't do anything to rip off the lion.

"We'll talk about adding insult to injury later. I think we need to find a more reliable ally now." Dorgon shook the glass and took a sip, his brows immediately wrinkled. He didn't like whiskey very much, but he missed his hometown in Liaodong.

Shao Daozi. Unfortunately, there is no Shao Daozi to drink now.

Everyone fell silent and said nothing. India really needs an ally now, a strong ally. But who can it find?

The entire Southeast Asia, including Australia, is the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence, and what's annoying is that the Ming Dynasty blocked the straits. Merchant ships can reach Singapore, but now they can't do business there.

An anti-French alliance is brewing in Europe. England and other European countries will not send troops to help India. The Persians can only herd sheep, and the Arabs are interested in money. The black people in Africa cannot be counted on, they have not yet fully evolved. They are too low-level.

Their IQ makes them useful even if they only have a small amount of strength.

"Perhaps the Ottoman Empire can still give us some help."

"The Ottoman Empire is too far away, and they are competing with the Rakshasa Kingdom for control of the Caspian Sea."

"Speaking of the Rakshasa Kingdom, I think the Rakshasa Kingdom is pretty good. Although they were defeated by Li Xiao in the Waixing'an Mountains last time, their military strength was at a disadvantage, and their equipment was not as good as that of the Ming army. Even so,

They can still fight to the death and never retreat, which is a good fighting spirit."

"They are fighting with the Ottoman Empire. Where are the troops to help us?"

"This is easy to handle! Let's send troops to help them conquer the Ottoman Empire. It's an alliance! We always have to help each other!"

"Are you jealous that the Ottomans have made a lot of money over the years by transferring supplies from the Ming Dynasty?"

"I think it's feasible. I heard that Istanbul is very prosperous."

"It's impossible to attack Istanbul. It's their capital. If you really want to defeat the Ottomans, they will have to fight you tooth and nail. Besides, if we attack such a big city, our casualties will be huge. We looked for the weak and targeted a few weakly defended cities.

Go ahead and kill him. Not only will you get some benefits, but you can also show your sincerity in cooperating with the Rakshasa people."

In the small lounge, there was a lively discussion immediately.

"George, it's better that you go to Moscow. Let's make preparations here. As long as you reach an agreement over there, we will take action immediately. We will capture several of the Ottoman cities before they can react."

"Wu! We are passing through Persian territory."

"The sheepherders are not the problem."

The decision to recruit the Rakshasas was thus made, and they did not consider that the Tsar would refuse.

The Ming Dynasty already had a grudge against the Rakshasa Kingdom, and India was willing to take the initiative to join the war against the Ottoman Empire. The most important thing was that the Rakshasa Kingdom wanted to get some advanced weapons from India to use against the Ottomans.

************************************************************************ ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Li Xiao was holding the battle report from the front, and Li Lin was standing next to Li Xiao. The two men were discussing the military report. Sun Xing read it once, and Li Xiao asked Li Lin how to handle the matter.

Then Li Xiao will ask him why he dealt with it, and then Li Xiao will express his opinion. After the father and son have discussed it properly, they will make comments at the end of the report.

"Your second and third uncles have released a demon. The battlefield in the future may turn out to be different. Sun Xing, notify the factory in Jinan to first supply a batch of gas masks to the Second Division of Ceylon Island. And they must

Send someone to teach them how to use it. Tell Yuan Chonghuan that this thing is very important and can save their lives." Li Xiao stroked his forehead. The reason why chemical weapons are banned by various international conventions is because the attack of this thing is

No difference.

Poisonous gas doesn't care whether you are a civilian or an army person. As long as you encounter immortality, you will be disabled. Moreover, the pain caused by this thing is often irreversible. In other words, it cannot be cured.

Li Xiao had seen those horrific photos. People whose skin was corroded by corrosive gas would live in pain for the rest of their lives, even if they were lucky enough to survive. People who were poisoned by nerve agents had a big hole cut out of their throats before they died.

Come.

Moreover, this thing can also cause contamination. Once used on a large scale on the battlefield, the contamination caused will cause huge damage to the environment. Not only people, but also flowers, birds, fish and insects will not be spared.

"Dad! War is a matter of life and death. Killing the enemy and surviving is the most important thing. The second uncle and the third uncle can use this poison gas bomb to kill the enemy perfectly without losing anything to themselves. This is a good thing."

Li Lin blinked at Li Xiao with big eyes.

Touching Li Lin's head and looking at his dark face. Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. Hainan's vicious sun finally turned a beautiful child into a blackhead. But it's okay,

Boys cannot live in a greenhouse all the time.

"Child! The weapons we have today will be mastered by our enemies sooner or later. Just like airships and poison gas bombs. If one day, the enemy also masters airships and poison gas bombs, how should we respond?

If the enemy attacks our city, how can we reduce the casualties of the people? And this kind of thing will not only hurt people, but also hurt many small animals, such as your parrots and cats. It will also pollute the water and air, making this

A place is not suitable for human survival for a certain period of time.

I prevented your second uncle and third uncle from using this thing before, and it was also for this reason."

"Then why did you agree again?"

"Dad was very irritable at that time, irritable for no reason. I didn't know why I agreed, maybe because I wanted to win India too much."

"Dad used to say that winning India is not for India's sake, but to prevent India from becoming a stumbling block for us. We are going to dig oil where the Arabs and Persians are, and we cannot let them get in the way."

"Yeah! Yes!"

"Dad! If that's the case, let's just let India turn into a pot of porridge and let them drive Wu Sangui away. Why do we have to ask the second uncle and the third uncle to go so far to fight the Indians?

Just like today's Cochin and Siam, their own people are fighting lively, and they look like enemies when they see each other. Tibetans and Uighurs are all like this. I think Indians will also fight.

of."

"This...!" Li Xiao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Li Lin, at such a young age, knew how to use Sun Chengzong's tricks. This kid was simply a fucking genius.

"What you said makes sense, we can give it a try." Li Xiao nodded affirmatively to Li Lin. He fell into a misunderstanding. He always thought that he had to conquer the city, but Li Lin's words opened a new door for Li Xiao.

of windows.

Export values ​​to India, and then plan for the Indian people to rise up and rebel against Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui was also from the Ming Dynasty, and his identity was his biggest weakness. As long as he aimed at this, he could crazily export revolution to India.

This is what Uncle Sam did in later generations. You only need to spend a little money to make your country chaotic. A country that could still pose a threat to him will turn into a chaotic battlefield in the blink of an eye. The national power of this country will never be the same.

It entered a cliff-like decline and eventually became a second-rate country, with no choice but to accept Uncle Sam's constant exploitation.

Li Xiao has seen too many such nations and countries. Not only do they have to kneel down and willingly take over the exploitation, but they also have to smile.

Not to mention, this guy has the potential to be the boss.

"Send a telegram and ask Li Yongfang to come to Zhoushan. I have something to tell him." For this kind of thing, Li Xiao's first reaction was to ask Li Yongfang.

It's really inappropriate for others to do such a shameful thing. Just ask Li Yongfang, it should be his job to instigate rebellion.

After thinking about it, Li Xiao stopped Sun Xing: "Call Lvzhu here too."

Li Yongfang is now over sixty this year, and his energy and physical strength are not comparable to what he was when he was young. He is now in charge entirely because of his experienced experience. Things like color revolution still have to rely on young people. After all, Luzhu is young.

, and acted more carefully.

Once the matter was figured out, Li Xiao no longer struggled. Oil is not only found in the Middle East, but can be obtained in the Western Regions and Liaodong. The current situation is nothing more than a lack of drilling technology.

Don't worry about technical matters. As long as you have the talent and are willing to spend money and time, you can tinker with it sooner or later. In the past, when it was so difficult, you could tinker with it. Now the Ming Dynasty is booming, and more and more talents are emerging every year. It will not take a few years.

That will solve the problem.

After all, this is not a technology like the atomic bomb. It belongs to the category that can be touched and seen!

Today I read the memorial that Sun Chengzong forwarded. Starting from this year, junior high school graduates have been gradually entering government offices, factories, and research institutes to work.

Years of talent development plans have finally begun to bear fruit. No one knows the power of knowledge better than Li Xiao.

In this country where 90% of the population are illiterate over the age of thirty, it is really difficult to find decent talents. Now, when a group of knowledgeable and enterprising people join, there will definitely be a catfish effect. Those places where we have learned the teachings of Confucius and Mencius since childhood.

Guan'er will definitely be tortured to death by these idiots.

Especially this kind of high-quality catfish will be hatched on a large scale every year in the future. In less than ten years, this group of people will be in charge of local government. By that time, the Donglin Party will be regarded as a historical word, and from now on it can only be written in

In the history books.
