Chapter 224: The British and French Conspiracy (Part I)

"The Han Kingdom is unwilling to negotiate peace with Russia, and the Han Kingdom wants to continue the war with Russia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" The thought immediately crossed Avis and Christopher's minds.

If Russia can compete with the Han Kingdom, this will be good news for Britain and France, which will weaken both the Han Kingdom and Russia.

Threatened by the airship of the Han Kingdom, as one of the world's leading powers, Britain and France have lost face, especially the Caucasians think that Europe is the center of the world, and the Caucasians are the most noble race, and now the Caucasians are actually threatened by the yellow race, which is simply unforgivable.

However, under the deterrence of the airship of the Han Kingdom, Britain and France could only succumb, but the proud heart in the hearts of the Caucasian people never changed, everyone knew that the war was only temporarily stopped, and the anger was accumulating, and the longer the backlog, the more ruthless it would explode in the future.

Because of the common enemy of the Han Kingdom, Britain and France were united earlier, you must know that in another time and space, Britain and France united at the beginning of the 20th century, and now it is only 1888, the two countries have been united, and history is being fragmented under the impetus of Yan Xueyi.

When Ives and Christopher sent back to their respective countries news that the Han Kingdom might continue to wage war with Russia, the British and French leaders secretly convened an important meeting to target the Han Kingdom, the common enemy of both countries.

The high-level leaders of Britain and France all know that the Han Kingdom has the trump card of the airship, which poses a huge threat to the homeland of Britain and France, and the shame brought by the Han Kingdom to the two countries can only be washed away by war, but the premise of waging war is that the two countries can find a way to solve the airship of the Han Kingdom.

Two ways to deal with airships, one is to make anti-aircraft guns, and the other is to make airships.

Britain and France are currently using other types of artillery to transform a batch of anti-aircraft guns, but from the news obtained by Germany, this batch of anti-aircraft guns is of little use, the airships of the Han Kingdom can fly at an altitude of more than five thousand meters, and the anti-aircraft artillery shells transformed by the two countries cannot hit such a large height, unless the airship of the Han Kingdom does not pay attention and the altitude drops, it is possible to hit the airship, I am afraid that the Han Kingdom has noticed this.

If the range of the modified artillery is not enough, then it can only make a special anti-aircraft gun, which will take a certain amount of time, but with the scientific and technological level of Britain and France, it is still possible to manufacture anti-aircraft guns with a range of more than 5,000 meters.

Anti-aircraft guns are just defensive weapons, the artillery technology of this era is relatively backward, and the anti-aircraft guns with a range of 5,000 meters will be relatively cumbersome and can only be fixed in a certain position, which limits the role of anti-aircraft guns, and can only be used to defend some important places, such as important cities or important military bases and naval warships.

For these targets alone, Britain and France would need to produce tens of thousands of anti-aircraft guns, which may cost more than 100 million pounds, which is converted into silver, that is, 300 million taels of silver, which is a lot of money, of course, Britain and France can come up with gritted teeth.

No matter which country knows that the best defense is to attack, anti-aircraft guns alone can only be passively beaten, and a country is so large, how many anti-aircraft guns can't hold it, the best way is to create an equally powerful airship, and use airships to fight airships.

Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and even the United States are all trying their best to develop airship technology, but is it so simple to build an airship comparable to the airship of the Han Kingdom?

Various countries use a lot of money, but a few months have passed, and there are still not many things that have been studied, and creating a powerful airship is a protracted war, and it costs a lot of money, and the cost of an airship is very high, basically the cost of an airship is about the same as the cost of a warship, the cost of a smaller airship only needs tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the larger airship needs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver or even millions of taels of silver.

The cost of the airship alone is so high, and the airship technology of various countries is very backward, if you want to create a truly powerful airship, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe you can't study it, the gap between the soft airship and the hard airship is very large.

After discussing the method of dealing with the airship of the Han Kingdom, Britain and France began to discuss how to weaken the Han Kingdom.

Britain and France both know that the Han Kingdom has a certain industrial base, and the specific industrial strength is not known, but according to the weapons and equipment of the Han Kingdom, the industrial strength of the Han Kingdom is not weak, and the Han Kingdom can also be regarded as an industrial country.

If the Han Kingdom continues to develop rapidly, with more than 10 million square kilometers of land and hundreds of millions of people, the Han Kingdom can develop into a very powerful country.

Before Britain and France did not go to war against the Han Kingdom, it was necessary to delay the industrial development of the Han Kingdom, and the goal of delaying the industrial development of the Han Kingdom had already been chosen, that is, Russia.

The border between Russia and the Han Kingdom is tens of thousands of kilometers long, which is a very serious problem, and in the previous decades, Russia had invaded millions of square kilometers of land and slaughtered many Manchus.

The Han Kingdom replaced the Manchu Qing Dynasty and became the ruler of this country, Russia and the Han Kingdom had a natural contradiction, war was inevitable, and the high-level British and French leaders could see this from the news from Berlin, Germany, and the Han Kingdom was unwilling to negotiate peace with Russia, which meant that the Han Kingdom would continue to wage war with Russia, which was very good news for Britain and France.

It is really good that Britain and France can consume the strength of the Han Kingdom without directly sending troops, and by the way, the strength of the behemoth of Russia.

It's just that the airships of the Han Kingdom are also a huge threat to Russia, and once the Han Kingdom bombs Russian cities, maybe Russia will be defeated soon.

However, Russia also has a great advantage, Russia has 20 million square kilometers of land, as long as the Russians are scattered, how much does the Han Kingdom need to spend to blow up the whole of Russia, I am afraid that it is impossible to do this with the strength of the Han Kingdom, even if it is added to Britain and France, it will not be able to do this.

At the same time, Britain and France could also provide large-scale assistance to Russia and support Russia in the confrontation with the Han Kingdom.

Didn't the Han Kingdom have airships, so Britain and France would support the Russian anti-aircraft guns, so that the Russian cities would have a certain resistance to the airships of the Han Kingdom.
