Chapter 910 Destined to miss out on world hegemony? Crazy asking for a monthly ticket
Just as Zhu Jishi was thinking about it, the cabin door was suddenly knocked gently. Zhu Jishi shouted: "Come in!"
Then I saw Maria Clementina wearing an Indian sari walking in with a smile, holding a thick stack of documents in her hand. The imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty has been handing over to Queen Bayi since she left Kolkata.
Friends - Both women are deliberately approaching each other and trying to win each other's favor. The Indian sari on Maria was given by Queen Bayi, and Queen Bayi also taught Maria to dance Indian dances that specifically seduce men, which is comparable to later generations
The dance in Bollywood movies is much hotter. Maria is introducing the political and social system of the German Confederate to Queen Bay, which is said to be the most suitable for Indian society...
"Maria, you are so beautiful today..." Emperor Zhu waved to Maria and asked her to sit beside him.
"Robert, this is a love letter written by Queen Bay to Queen Victoria and the British government." Maria handed the document in her hand to Fatty Qiu.
The fat man took the document and glanced at it. His writing style was European in words, and his compliments were written beautifully. You can tell at a glance that they were from Maria. As for the content, there are three main contents, one is the Tubang princes representing all India.
Request Queen Victoria to be crowned as the Queen of the Indian Empire; second, request that Victoria, who became the Queen of India, become the protector of the Tumen princes who were loyal to her; third, remind Queen Victoria that India's westernization and reform progress was too fast and had surpassed the Tumen princes,
The scope that aristocrats and ordinary Indians can accept, without some gentler measures, India is likely to have an uprising against Indian rule in the next few years - something that all Indian monarchs and princes would not want to see.
The fat man closed the document, shook his head with a smile, and looked at Zhu Jishidao: "Jason. You seem to be very afraid of Indians... I believe you have no intention of India. Your concern for Indian affairs is only due to
Worry about the country's potential future rival to the Ming Empire, right?"
"That's right." Zhu Jishi gently turned the teacup in his hand and frowned: "I have no hiding anything from you on the issue of India... I think you British should not have seen the miracle of the rise of the Ming Empire after seeing the miracle of the rise of the Ming Empire.
If the Anti-Qing and Restoration of Ming Dynasty took place in India, the consequences would be disastrous for the British Empire!”
The fat man pondered for a while, and suddenly looked at Zhu Jishi with a bright look, "Isn't the disaster of the British Empire an opportunity for the Ming Empire to gain dominance in the Eastern World?"
"The Ming Empire has obtained the power of rule in the East... but who replaced the British Empire to rule the world?"
"Is the Ming Empire impossible?" Fatty Qiu looked at Zhu Jishi.
Zhu Jishi shook his head, "The Ming Empire does not have such strength, because the countries that rule the world must first rule the ocean. The cost of ruling the ocean is very high. If we invest in the navy with all our might, we may be able to achieve the world in 20 or 30 years.
First. But we cannot ignore the threat on land! The Russian nation is a nation that holds grudges. Since we choose to annex their large tracts of eastern land, we must fight for 100 years to defend it. We need to maintain a strong team.
The army needs to invest huge amounts of money to develop East Siberia and Central Asia. The funds needed to build railways alone can exhaust my treasury. In this case, it is unrealistic to maintain the large navy. Without the large navy,
No world hegemony.
So my Ming Empire is destined to be out of reach of world hegemony. In this case, is it really beneficial to sit back and watch the British Empire lose hegemony and watch a unified Indian nation-state appear in the southern part of China?"
"Russia?" Fatty Qiu shook his head and sighed, "Who knows what they will fight the army of Austria, France and the British Empire? Maybe even Prussia will join the war. I think William IV will definitely fight the Polish plains.
Interested."
"Maria, what do you think?" Zhu Jishi frowned and looked at Maria Clementina, who dressed herself up as the Indian San.
"It's hard to say, who can tell the truth about the war?" Maria smiled and shook her head, bringing the topic back to India, "Let's talk about India... Robert, you will be the most authoritative East in Whitehall, England
Question expert. After returning to the UK, should we submit a memorandum about India to the above? I don’t think any British person wants India to become the second Ming Empire, right? With the same mistake, the British Empire should not make the first mistake again.
Second time, am I right?"
...
Hungary, Transylvania battlefield.
The Russian artillery shells fell like raindrops, most of which were solid bombs that would not explode, but some were explosives filled with explosives, which rumbling and exploded on the Austrian front, and a mass of smoke
Suddenly, the Austrians' cannons were also fighting back, but their firepower was much weaker. Their flowering bullets also accounted for half of all the shells, but under the suppression of the opponent's superior firepower, the accuracy of the shelling was severely hit.
Discount.
After the cannon, Ula's shouts of killing sounded! Through the smoke of gunpowder that filled the battlefield, you could vaguely see the Russian infantry pulling out dense lines of scattered soldiers, holding a bayonet rifle and charging!
"His Majesty the Emperor, the Russian infantry began to attack, it was a walking line... I'm afraid it was an infantry equipped with rifles!"
On the other side of the battlefield, on a high ground behind the Austrian army front, the Austrian Empire Emperor Franz Joseph rode on a horse in the same military uniform. The young emperor seemed proud, as if he was the one who
Napoleon, who was famous for Europa, did not realize how much trouble his confusion would cause to his empire and army - the Tsar's gamble was really the right treasure, and it must be the same as the most confused emperor in Europe.
A pleasant thing.
The confused emperor Franz Joseph now wants to play a confused commander again, just like his actions in the Battle of Solferino in history - this German "born commander" rushed from Vienna himself
When he went to the Italian battlefield, he used the few blind commands in the history of European wars to make Napoleon III a big military strategist. However, this time the person who was enjoying himself was replaced by the Russian Crown Prince Alexander.
"Let our stragglers fight, the Austrian Empire has the best stragglers in Europe!" The Austrian emperor issued an order.
Unlike Prince Alexander, he is personally commanding 200,000 Austrian troops. After Russia declared war on Austria, another 120,000 Austrian troops were reinforced to Hungary, which made Austria's troops in the Hungarian battlefield 80,000 more than the attacking Russians.
.And they also occupied the Transylvania mountainous areas, which were easy to defeat the attacking Russians as usual. But Franz Joseph did not let his army guard the mountainous areas with a dangerous place, but chose to go to Russia in a basin.
What is even more incredible is that he divided his 200,000 people into three parts, used two of the nine armies to detour the Russian army's rear attack, and left the other army to stay in Budapest. So,
Only 120,000 Austrian troops were left in the Belsa Basin. In addition, Franz Joseph also left his 13 artillery companies to stay in Sherkaya, north of the Belsa Basin, on standby.
They were not transferred to the battlefield until the beginning of the battle. So in the artillery battle just now, the Austrian army's firepower was obviously at a disadvantage. However, he did not realize that the situation on the battlefield was very unfavorable to the Austrian army.
"But... His Majesty the Emperor, we don't have enough stragglers! We only have a small number of rifles." General Ludwig von Benedek, who served as the chief of staff of the Austrian army in this battle, frowned and reminded him with a frown. The emperor.
"If we take a defensive move, retreat to the hillside in the north, and build a solid offensive, we should be able to rely on the terrain until the detour troops arrive. In this way, we can be invincible."
"No, the Austrian army cannot retreat!" Franz Joseph waved his hand and interrupted General Benedek, loudly ordered, "Let the scattered soldiers go to fight the enemy, and at the same time dispatch cavalry to attack their wings."
"But……"
