Chapter 259: How did you, the evil-minded Daoguang, learn to be an imperialist? (Please subscribe, please vote)

Rakshasa Kingdom, Nikolayev.

When Wu Zhenzhen received the secret telegram from the Dajin court, Nicholas I had already left the newly captured Adrianople and went to the city of Nikolayev near the Black Sea.

This is a new industrial city built around the Nikolaev Shipyard founded in 1788.

And this Nikolayev Shipyard is really the hope of the Rakshasa Navy!

Since the time of Peter the Great, the Rakshasa Kingdom has attached great importance to its navy. However, Rakshasa Kingdom's emphasis cannot change the inherent shortcomings of the Rakshasa Kingdom's navy, and the inherent shortcoming of the Rakshasa Kingdom's navy is that it does not have a decent sea.

Not to mention the Arctic Ocean, there is actually no need for a navy there.

As for the Pacific Ocean, King Wu Zhong took away all the Pacific coast of Rakshasa, so Rakshasa didn't need a Pacific fleet.

In addition to the Arctic Ocean, which does not need a navy, and the Pacific Ocean, which has disappeared, there are still three seas on the Rakshasa side: the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, and the Barents Sea, which is located on the edge of the Arctic Ocean and can enter the Atlantic Ocean through the Norwegian Sea.

It is possible, but the communication between the three seas is a bit difficult, so the Rakshasa Kingdom can only build three main fleets that can fight independently, namely the Baltic Fleet, the Northern Fleet, and the Black Sea Fleet.

Among them, the Black Sea Fleet is the focus - this is because after the Napoleonic War, the territorial requirements of the Rakshasa Kingdom in Eastern Europe and Northern Europe have been met.

Moreover, Rakshasa does not currently have the ability to compete with the British Empire for maritime hegemony, so of course it can only focus on developing the Black Sea Fleet.

The outlet of the Black Sea was blocked by the Turkish Empire, so the warships purchased by the Rakshasa Kingdom from the Ming Dynasty and the British Empire could not come, so they had to build them themselves!

Of course, you must have a shipyard to build your own ships, so starting from the time of Catherine the Great, the Rakshasa Kingdom began to invest in the construction of the Nikolayev Shipyard. What are the shipyards, slipways, outfitting docks, and supporting steel plants?

Artillery factories, machine factories, power plants, etc., will all be built in Nikolaev and its surrounding areas.

After more than forty years of hard work, by 1829 AD, Nikolayev Shipyard was already the most technologically advanced and largest shipyard in Rakshasa.

The purpose of Tsar Nicholas I leaving the front line to visit Nikolaev was to attend the delivery ceremony of an Ivan the Terrible-class battleship and to inspect the Nikolaev Shipyard.

The so-called Ivan Thunder Emperor class is actually the modified second type of Hongwu Emperor class (also known as Hanwu Emperor class). The Rakshasa Kingdom renamed it as Ivan Thunder Emperor class.

Its first ship was remodeled when the slipway was halfway through construction, so the construction time was relatively long. From laying the first keel to delivery, it took a total of 26 months!

This construction speed may be super fast in the 21st century in another time and space, but in today's world, whether it is the British who work hard in 996, the Rakshasa who treats workers as serfs, or the workers who are paid enough overtime pay

Ming Dynasty is incredibly slow.

If the design hadn't been drastically changed midway, it would have only taken 12 to 18 months from laying the first keel to sea trials for a Hongwu Type II battleship.

Considering that Rakshasa is still in wartime, and the Black Sea Fleet is shouldering the important task of attacking Constantinople from the sea, the construction of the first ship of the Ivan the Terrible-class is indeed a bit slow.

However, slow work makes the difference, and the Tsar was very satisfied with the just-delivered Ivan the Terrible.

The other four battleships of the same class that were being outfitted or undergoing sea trials also gave the Tsar the hope of advancing by sea and dividing his troops into three routes to seize Constantinople in one fell swoop!

The arrival of Wu Zhenfa gave Nicholas I greater hope - the attack on Constantinople would change from being divided into three groups to being besieged on all sides.

"Your Majesty, the King of Persia who was beaten by your army two years ago and Emperor Daoguang of our dynasty are good half-brothers. So this time, Emperor Daoguang of our dynasty is going to be invited to lead the troops.

Persia, help the Persians resist the Ming Dynasty... and by the way, help your country attack Constantinople from the east!

Of course, our help to your country in fighting the Ottoman Empire is purely out of friendship, not greed for Ottoman land. Therefore, I don’t want an inch of Asia Minor’s territory. All I ask is that your Majesty will control your country in Persia.

I will be satisfied if I transfer the special rights and interests to our country..."

Nicholas I was also an old imperialist. When he heard this, he knew what Emperor Daoguang of the Jin Kingdom wanted to do?

This is clearly an imperialist attempt to colonize Persia!

Okay, he is more ruthless than us Rakshasa people. We haven’t even reached the entrance to Persia!

And the outlet to the sea that the Kingdom of Jin has been thinking about for more than 100 years will most likely be taken from the Persians this time!

However, the current situation is there. Next time there is a battle for Constantinople, the great powers such as Britain, France, Prussia, and Austria may all side with the Turks.

If the Rakshasa Kingdom wants to take down the Ottoman Empire as soon as possible, I am afraid that the help of the Great Jin Kingdom is indispensable.

Thinking of this, Nicholas I smiled and nodded, and said: "Prince Wu, please tell Emperor Daoguang that as long as he sends troops to Persia, I will transfer all the privileges in Persia to him. From now on, the Rakshasa Kingdom will not

Will invade Persian land again!”

…

Delhi, Red Fort.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the envoys from Persia recently arrived in Bagua City with the purpose of requesting our country to send troops to protect Persia. Your Majesty the Emperor knows that Persia has always been protected by the United Kingdom and the Indian Empire... In view of the current situation, if the British Empire and the Indian Empire

It is temporarily inconvenient to fulfill this obligation. I, Daikin, am willing to do it for you!"

The person who was fooling Emperor William in the audience hall of the Red Fort was none other than Qishan, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Kingdom of Jin to India.

His words are really better spoken than sung... It turns out that the Kingdom of Jin went to Persia not to invade and colonize, but to help Great Britain.

The British Empire had too many colonies and couldn't colonize them. So the Kingdom of Jin went to help colonize some.

This light is really a "great good man"!

"Then speaking of which, I still have to thank Emperor Daoguang? He helped me preserve the colony."

The Indian Emperor William, who was wearing a cool white silk robe, frowned when he spoke, looking thoughtful.

As the Emperor of India and the Crown Prince of England, Emperor William certainly knew that the relationship between the Jin Empire and the Ming Empire was very ambiguous.

Therefore, it is hard to say whether the Jin Empire entered Persia to help or to colonize.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to thank our Emperor." Qi Shan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to thank our Emperor Daoguang... As long as you support our Eight Banners soldiers to enter Persia, everything will be fine."

This Qi Shan is a professional diplomat after all, he just knows how to brag.

However, Emperor William did not intend to expose Mr. Qishan, but smiled and said: "Mr. Ambassador, please tell His Majesty Emperor Daoguang that our Indian Empire fully supports all his actions in Persia!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, what support do you mean?"

"Support is support." Emperor William smiled and said, "If Emperor Daoguang's army can stop the Ming army from invading Persia, then our Great Indian Empire is also willing to transfer all its rights and interests in Persia to the Great Jin Empire. Ambassador

Sir, do you think this support is enough?"

"Enough is enough."
