Chapter 97 Daoguang Printing, fight here! (Crazy pursuit of reading)

Beijing City, Prince Wu's Mansion.

In the study of Mr. Zhuge Weijiu, a group of "Zhuge Liang" with feather fans and turbans were gathering together to hold a "Plenary Meeting of Zhuge Liang in Beijing" to discuss "betting the world" with the British Empire.

A group of "Zhuge Liang" each had a copy of the telegram, and they were all reading it carefully and counting on their fingers as a habit - they had to count carefully!

It seems that the British Empire did not follow their previous clever calculations!

In fact, before Zhuge Weidao proposed the idea of ​​competing for hegemony with the British Empire and "archdao (light) printing", these "Zhuge Liang" were already pinching their fingers and planning to compete with the British Empire for hegemony.

Although they are a little timid and unwilling to take a gamble with Great Britain that determines the outcome, they also know that with the advancement of technology, a world dominated by superpowers will inevitably emerge. Although failure in the struggle for hegemony will inevitably face dire consequences

, but once the Ming Dynasty reached the top, the Ming Dynasty and the Zhuge family could remain stable for many years.

Because the world hegemon can transfer domestic crises to other countries, the hegemon’s domestic country is the most stable!

And they don't need to read the "Book of Heaven" to know that with Ming's current size, if it does not seek hegemony, it will sooner or later become a thorn in the side of other world hegemons and a thorn in their flesh. So Ming has no choice but to seek hegemony!

Just on these two points, these "Zhuge Liang" have to let Ming reach the top!

But their plan was not to support Daoguang to come forward, but to support Rakshasa to challenge the British Empire - they did not expect that Emperor Daoguang would have the courage and strength to challenge the British Empire. They did not expect that the seemingly powerful East India Company would actually be defeated.

Two hundred and dozens of "naval airborne troops" captured the Peshawar Fortress, and tens of thousands of people are still trapped in Afghanistan and don't know if they can come out?

The British Empire doesn’t look very good!

Of course, these "Zhuge Liang" will not give up the established plan of "conquering the Rakshasa and fighting the Yingyi" just because Zhuge Weidao successfully defeated the Yingyi in India - the two plans are not in conflict. If the Yingyi is in India

If the Jin Kingdom is disgraced, then the possibility of Rakshasa Kingdom taking action to compete with Great Britain for Western hegemony is very high!

And as soon as Rakshasa takes action, Ming Dynasty will be able to win the battle with Daying!

But early this morning, King Louis XVII of France, who had long called Zhuge "Yafu", sent a telegram informing "Zhuge Yafu" that the British Empire was planning to use his territory to hold an "International Naval Arms Control Conference."

——This is to internationalize the naval arms race!

In addition, Louis XVII also told his "dear Asian father" three important things.

First, the British Empire was determined to regain Peshawar, and would expel Jin Dynasty from Afghanistan at all costs. It might even invade Central Asia and force Jin Dynasty to sign a peace treaty that would be humiliating and degrading to the country.

Second, the British Empire will send a huge ocean-going fleet to bypass the Southern Ocean waters controlled by the Ming Dynasty and take the route between the East Indies and Australia to Japan to show that the British Empire Navy can supply Japan in wartime!

The above two actions will be promoted at the same time as the Naval Armament Conference.

The third major event is that Marie-Antoinette, the Queen Mother of France, missed "Zhuge Yafu" very much.

In other words, the British Empire has upped the ante and adopted a posture of not willing to fight at all. It has also roped in a large group of Eastern and Western powers to form a team to oppose the Ming Dynasty's "Thousand Ships Plan".

"Great Military Advisor!" The first person to "calculate" was Zhuge Weiyang, the "Black Zhuge" who had just been promoted to Chief of Naval Staff. "These British guys are quite capable. They want to take advantage of their own victory in Afghanistan and

Our restraint on the Japanese issue created the illusion that the British Empire was sure of victory, and then used this illusion to draw all countries in the world onto their pirate ship, and combined the efforts of all countries to force us to make concessions at the arms conference!"

Zhuge Weiyi, the shipbuilding strategist and minister of the Navy, continued what Zhuge Weiyong said: "There is nothing to make concessions at the armaments conference. The 'Thousand Ship Plan' was originally a plan to weaken the British, and we do not expect the British to follow suit. Let's fight

Just change it to the 'Five Hundred Ship Plan' or the 'Three Hundred Ship Plan', which is enough for the British to drink. However, it is a bit provocative for the British to send a fleet to sail around Japan! This is a military exercise.

!”

Zhuge Weiyong snorted: "After they arrive in Japan, they will definitely have to conduct other exercises to provoke. It's impossible for us to go to war with Britain over this matter. The idiots in Japan thought we were afraid of Britain. Japan

The situation in the country will only become more unstable! Grand Military Advisor, we have to find a way to stabilize the pro-Ming faction in Japan!"

"Yang Ming, what do you think?" Zhuge Wei took a long look at Zhuge Yangming, whose generation was named "Yang", that is, the "Shanghai Navy Division". He happened to be watching his own gasoline locomotive demonstration in Beijing during this time, so he was also attracted by Zhuge

Weijiu was called to a meeting.

"Great Military Advisor," Zhuge Yangming said with a smile, "If the British cannot win in Afghanistan and cannot pull Japan away, then the naval peace conference held in France will be more beneficial to us."

Zhuge Weijiu laughed: "Doesn't this mean you didn't say anything? I'm asking you if there is any way to stabilize Japan?"

Zhuge Yangming smiled and said: "Great Military Advisor, in fact, the two tasks of guarding Peshawar and stabilizing Japan can fall on Uncle One Hundred and Eighth!"

"One hundred and eight." Zhuge Weijiu counted with his fingers, "That's right, as long as Peshawar can be defended, then even if the Gong Daoguang printing thing is successful, then he can officially become a member of the military division.

Got it!"

"Yes," Zhuge Yangming said, "a twenty-six-year-old military advisor takes the daughter of the Dahei family as his concubine. That is a grand event for Japan's pro-Ming sect and is enough to offset the impact of the British fleet's visit to Japan."

Zhuge Weijiu counted his fingers again, and then nodded, "Okay, let's do it. Send a telegram to 108, telling him to keep Peshawar!"

"yes!"

Amu Darya Camp, Airship Field.

When the sky gets bright and clear, the sound of drum music starts to rise up, and the north wind blows loudly. Amidst the sound of drums and wind, the orderly airborne troops of the Daikin Navy are silently boarding the boat. The Nalan Family Yingxian Temple

Those fairies were waving the Eight Banners in the distance and making bursts of sweet shouts.

The north wind was strong, and the airships that had been blown up a little were shaking. The airships that had been loaded with airborne troops had already risen into the air and were hovering over the airship field, waiting for the other airships to fly up and join them.

Team up.

This is the sixth batch of naval airborne troops to reinforce Peshawar. According to the plan, they will be transported by twenty airships (seven more have been added) to Peshawar City to participate in the upcoming defense battle of Peshawar.

On the airship landing site, a man in a "yellow mandarin jacket" and an officer wearing a blue coat of the Ming Dynasty were strolling. They passed by the airships that were about to take off, and all the officers and soldiers saluted them. This

Two of them, one is Zhuge Weidao, the general advisor of the Ming Dynasty Navy Department, and the other is Guan Tianpei, the director of the Operations Department of the Operational Training Bureau of the Ming Dynasty Navy Department.

The two people were walking in the wind, and the increasingly strong cold wind blew on their faces, and their brows gradually knitted together.

"Daozi, you are in the navy, do you really want to go to Peshawar? I heard that the commander-in-chief of the East India Company's army, Major General Hugh Gough, has arrived at the front line and is ready to fight! This time the war is fierce and dangerous! And the wind is getting worse

If the wind gets bigger, the airship may have to be grounded after this round. I think it will be enough for Mu Zhongjun and Zheng Guoxian of the Army to go to Peshawar."

"Sir Guan, the military division has given me a death order. Peshawar must be defended! How can I not go? Besides, although I am a navy, the airship airborne and the Bagua machine gun formation were all my ideas. If I don't go,

Doesn’t it mean that you don’t have confidence in my idea?”

Hearing what Zhuge Weidao said, Guan Tianpei suddenly thought of something. He looked at Zhuge Weidao and asked in a low voice: "By the way, you...haven't passed the Military Advisor Exam?"

Zhuge Weidao smiled faintly and did not comment. He just raised his hands to Guan Tianpei and said: "Sir Guan, it's almost time. It's time for me to get on the boat. Let's say goodbye!"

Guan Tianpei seemed to have understood something. He looked at Zhuge Weidao and finally laughed in a low voice: "Okay, your Zhuge family finally has a young and promising military advisor!"
