Chapter 1349 Make Rome Great Again (Second update, please subscribe)
With the signing of the Treaty of Berlin, the war in southern Africa finally stopped, although the British obtained certain rights at the negotiation table that they had longed for, such as the national rights of immigrants, such as restrictive clauses on railways, and so on.
With the addition of tariffs and other agreements, it seems that Britain is the winner, but in fact?
The whole world has seen the weakness of Britain. It has seen through the nature of Britain as a paper tiger.
But in any case, the world seemed to have entered a world of peace again. But in fact, when the decline of Britain was witnessed by the whole world, the "Peace Under the British Empire" was also destroyed. It was from this day on that the peace
It no longer exists.
No matter how much mankind longs for peace, for the world, peace is just an illusion of mankind most of the time. After all, in human history, war is continuous, and even war is the eternal theme of human history.
Epics praise the beauty of peace, but they also praise heroes, and heroes come from war and come from war.
Everyone has the opportunity to become a hero. For Alexey Nikolayevich Kuropatkin, a telegram sent from the border made him see the opportunity. He saw the opportunity to become a hero.
Opportunity.
"General, those rebels fled into Persia again. In the past few years, those rebels, as they have always done, resisted the rule of the empire in the Caucasus. When we attacked, once the battle was lost, they
Will flee to Persia. If our army cannot break through the border, then this war will continue forever!"
After listening to the staff report, Kuropatkin finally asked directly.
"So what's your advice? My little Mikhail."
The reason why he is so close is that little Mikhail is the son of his old commander, General Skobelev. During the Turkish War, he was General Skobelev's staff officer, and it was the general's support that made him so close.
What made him what he is today, twelve years ago, the general passed away, so he naturally had to take care of little Mikhail Il, and it was under his care that he became a general at least last year.
This kind of mutual support is completely normal in Russia. In fact, it is also the same in other countries.
"Cross the border!"
Xiao Mihail said bluntly.
"Pursue those damn infidels across the border, find them, kill them, and kill those who shelter them."
Cross the border!
Little Mikhail's suggestion made Kuropatkin immediately think of Tsar Alexander III in Constantinople and the desire of the Constantinople bureaucracy for Persia. As a veteran who has been involved in official circles for many years,
Kuropatkin knew how to figure out the holy will.
"Everyone in Constantinople is eager to get Persian oil! The wealth brought by oil will be Rome's most precious wealth...Oil is a gift from God to Rome! It must not be possessed by pagans."
Kuropatkin, who had thoroughly understood the ultimate secret of the Tsar, also knew that Persia was the British sphere of influence, so he said.
"Cross-border operation...Persia, that is the British sphere of influence."
The commander's answer made little Mikhail smile.
"General, the era of the British is over now. Maybe they have a powerful Royal Navy, but the British are just giants at sea. They are vulnerable on land."
The reason why Xiao Mikhail is so conceited is precisely because of the Boer War. The War of Resistance not only caused the British to shed blood, but also allowed the whole world to see the ugliness that the British made there.
Britain... is just a giant on the sea. On land, they are simply vulnerable. At this time, he has forgotten how Russia was defeated in Crimea and how it sacrificed a tsar?
"After suffering the defeat in the Boer War, it is impossible for the British to set foot on the mainland, let alone stop our actions on land. Besides, we are also famous! Those infidels, they have killed
Heretics who killed the Pope. Persians... too!"
The "Jerusalem Incident" changed a lot. Before the Jerusalem Incident, the Russian Empire was relatively tolerant. After the incident, facing a large number of Turks in the conquered areas, they directly asked them to convert to Orthodox Christianity. They destroyed the Tianfang Temple and converted it into a church.
.The Caucasus region does the same thing, but the Caucasus people are too stubborn. The Turks gave up resistance ten years ago, including the Kurds, who converted to Orthodox Christianity. But until now, the resistance in the Caucasus region has not stopped.
Since taking office as the governor of the Caucasus, Kuropatkin has been troubled by the rebellion here. Although the vast majority of people have converted to Orthodox Christianity, there are still a few who choose to resist.
"Constantinople...would they want us to enter Persia?"
Kuropatkin asked rhetorically.
"Your Majesty the Governor, Constantinople may have a certain fear of the British, but they certainly don't mind us taking an adventure in Persia to test out where the British bottom line is..."
Looking at the Governor, Xiao Mikhail said in a sarcastic tone.
"How could the British, who had just suffered a defeat in South Africa, choose to go to war with the Roman Empire in Persia? God can testify that they simply did not have the courage."
Yes, how could the British, who had just suffered a defeat, go to war with the Roman Empire in Persia? They couldn't even defeat the small Boers, let alone the more powerful Roman Empire!
The Roman Empire had the most powerful army in Europe! Even the Roman army was several times larger than the population of the Boer Republic. The Boers could make the British hateful on the battlefield, let alone the Roman legions that conquered Turkey.
No matter how he weighed it, Kuropatkin could not find a reason to refuse. On the one hand, Persia was the desire of the entire Constantinople, and on the other hand, Persia was so weak. In the past, he relied on the British Empire
The support has been maintained until now.
But what about now?
How could Britain protect Persia?
With their disgraced British Army and Colonial Corps on the Boer battlefield?
After making this judgment in his mind, Kuropatkin looked at Xiao Mikhail and said.
"My Michael, are you willing to lead the army and cross the border? Your father once defeated the Turks, and now the moment of glory has come to you. Persia...is waiting for you to conquer."
"Your Majesty the Governor!"
With a slight touch of the heel of his boots, Xiao Mihail bowed his head and said.
"It is my honor. Those barbaric pagans will surely feel the sharpness of God's sword."
For young Mikhail, this is also a moment that he is personally looking forward to. His father won glory in the war. Now he will also get his own personal glory in Persia, and he may even achieve more glory than his father.
The results of the battle.
At this moment, in the Caucasus and Baku, the soldiers' desire for military exploits and their ambition for expansion were combined. What kind of fruits they would bear, only... God knows.
One thing that is certain is that they believe that their actions can make Rome great again.
