No matter how strong the army is, it will always face a complicated situation in land warfare, such as terrain, weather, and logistics, so you have to be very careful to compete with the army power, otherwise you will repeat the mistakes of the previous East India Company and spend a lot of military spending. The former East India Company was directed by the British Empire to expand its territory everywhere, and it was ostensibly honorable, but it was financially unsuccessful. 50 million pounds, I'm a god, the local tyrants and dukes are distressed, and they haven't worked hard to do charity recently.

In this case, Downing was even more reluctant to compete directly with Russia, in the case of Alaska, the Russians took money but did not do anything, the Japanese people were very angry, Shimazu saw that the Grand Duke of Luxembourg had trained the mercenaries of the Satsuma Domain to be able to match the first-class European powers, and at this time he strongly demanded to give the Japanese army weapons and fight with the Russians, but the Grand Duke of Luxembourg politely refused, and said that he would have the opportunity to clean up the Russians in the future.

The opportunity is coming soon.

The sick man of Europe, the Ottomans, won the Crimean War with the help of Britain and France, but now Britain and France are about to do it themselves, and the Russians finally found an opportunity, the Grand Duke Mirko of the Ottoman vassal state of Montenegro rebelled, and the Ottomans sent troops to quell the rebellion, but the Russians who held a grudge because of the Crimean War made bad water, and the sick man of Europe hurriedly asked Britain for help, and Britain had no spare time to prevent French invasion, and the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, who was looking for an opportunity to go against the Russians, was ready to aid the Ottoman Empire.

However, the Grand Duke of Luxembourg did not send troops directly. According to the professional terminology of online games, the person responsible for sabotage is called damage output, such as mages are usually magic long-range damage output, hunters are physical long-range damage output, and those responsible for anti-damage are called meat shields or tanks, such as: warriors, druids who turn into bears. It is the healing output that is responsible for healing, such as priests, shamans, and priests. The most good thing for the Grand Duke of Luxembourg is to improve the combat effectiveness of friendly armies through guò treatment, and it does not damage his own strength, medicines, more, produced by himself, are also cheap, doctors and nurses are all safely hidden behind their backs, even if they are caught by the enemy, it doesn't matter, the other party also needs medical care, and will not kill doctors and nurses. The Grand Duke of Luxembourg's support for the Ottoman Empire was through the Windsor Military Hospital, where doctors and nurses were always warmly raised to the point that the Ottoman army would not be defeated too badly.

In return, the Grand Duke of Luxembourg demanded the construction of toll highways in Greater Syria, saying that this was for the export of agricultural products produced by the Suez Canal Company to the Greater Syria region in the future, which included Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and other countries with a long history, a large population, rich products, Damascus, Baghdad, Jerusalem and other historical cities of Arab civilization.

Greater Syria, also known as Refante, is located in the southeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea and is the gateway to the Arabian Peninsula. The Ottoman Empire was weak, and not long ago it had been occupied by the Pasha (viceroy) of Egypt in the whole of the Refan region, if it were not for the reluctance of the British and French powers to force Muhammad to change the Ottoman territory? Ali Pasha withdrew his troops, and I am afraid that Greater Syria would have long since ceased to be ruled by the Ottoman sultans.

Because it is a toll road, it naturally needs road police, who usually carry pistols and are equipped with rifles if necessary, then it becomes an army, with hundreds of people in peacetime, and more than 1,000 in wartime, with the advanced equipment of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, it is enough to confront any military force in the Greater Syria region. Ali Pasha of Egypt was the most radical industrializer and reformer in all of Arabia during his lifetime, and his army was able to defeat the Ottoman Empire, but now it is only 18,000 troops under the constraints of the great powers.

Speaking of pistols, now the Grand Duke of Luxembourg is finally going to improve this weapon, and he is ready to mount pistols of two standards at once. A kind of codenamed "Desert Fox", simulating the Swiss SIG-P250 in real history, mainly dealing with bandits, thieves and other stragglers, with a range of only 50 meters, 9 mm small caliber, and a weight of only 830 grams after loading, but with a large-capacity magazine of 17 rounds.

The second type is codenamed "Desert Eagle", so you don't need to introduce the object of imitation, right? This high-powered pistol has a range of up to 200 meters, comparable to the army rifles of some countries today, and its pneumatic mechanism is also more like a rifle, the gun weighs 2 kilograms, which is half the empty weight of the FN-1855, and can only fit 7 high-power bullets of 0.5 inches. It will even be equipped with scoped rails, which can be carried by the Desert Eagle road police who use the Desert Eagle if they don't have time to change their rifles against the army.

The Desert Fox, a small-powered police pistol, can be exported to make money, and it is estimated that it will also be welcomed by the police and officers of various countries, while the Desert Eagle is not for sale, and it is likely that the rifle will not be able to be brought to the rear of the Qing Dynasty in the plan of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", and it can be replaced by the Desert Eagle at that time. Downing also prepared to make a bullet called "cosmos". Cosmos is an eight-petal flower, the warhead of this bullet is to imitate the petals of cosmos, together with the center of the flower, a total of nine pieces of shrapnel, the rifling of the desert eagle shoots this bullet in a high-speed rotation way, and when it hits the ice, you can clearly see the consequences when it hits the target - the nine pieces of shrapnel are scattered, like a vortex distributed in the ice, if this is the human body, the entire internal organs will be stirred up by the "cosmos". When dealing with the guards of the Qing Emperor, if the resistance encountered was surprisingly strong, the Grand Guild would reluctantly replace it with this kind of bullet that hurt the heavens and reason, and slaughtered the guards.

A year or two ago, Switzerland was almost invaded by Prussia because of territorial disputes, but fortunately it was mediated by Britain and France, and the Swiss military learned that the Belgian arsenal of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg had made a rifle that frightened the Prussians, and finally prepared to purchase this rifle from the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and the Grand Duke readily agreed to deliver this democratic self-defense weapon to the second country after the Belgian army, and handed it over to the SIG company for production.

The Russians were good at benefiting the Ottoman rebellion, and the well-informed Reuters news agency also found a rebellion in Russian-ruled Estonia. Estonia was a territory that the Russians had seized from Sweden more than a hundred years ago, and the area is dominated by Baltic Germanic peoples, whose language is close to that of Finland. Finland was also snatched from Sweden by the Russians in 1808.

Russia had long since legally abolished serfdom, but in Estonia the serfs still did not receive land, so the serfs revolted. The Grand Duke of Luxembourg hurriedly wanted to send the Satsuma regiment that wanted to fight the Russians to help the Estonian uprising, but the "Volunteer Army" from Luxembourg did not set off long before it was reported that the rebellion was quelled by the Russian regular army, and only 7 peasants were killed and 14 wounded. However, things in politics are often not done with a conscience.

After studying the political situation in Estonia, Downing began to use the BBC's unique position in the media to promote that Estonia should be self-governing. Jensen made a show to promote the budding Estonian national awakening movement, creating a potential crisis for the Russian Empire. （http：／／.）。

The Grand Duchy of Finland, which had just been conquered by Russia for less than 50 years, could not be spared (the Russian tsar made himself Grand Duke). In 1835, the Finnish national epic Kalevala, a Karelian (Orthodox Finns living around Lake Ladoga, in present-day eastern Finland and northwestern Russia), was published. An anthology of traditional myths and legends, this work stirred up the national sentiment that would later make Finland from Russia. The awakening of Finnish national consciousness was caused by the deliberate promotion of Finnish culture and language by the Swedish-speaking upper class as a means of nation-building, that is, to create a sense of identity for all Finns, including the elite of the rulers and the commoners of the rule.

The Baltic region is too far away from the "sphere of influence" of Britain, Belgium, Switzerland, etc., which is now the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and Sweden cannot miss it in order to win over the anti-Russian forces in Scandinavia. Sweden is now a poor agricultural country, and its industrialization process is not as good as that of Britain and Belgium, or even with neighboring Denmark, or it will not always be bullied by Russia.

Sweden is an agrarian country, but agriculture is not well developed, and every year one percent of farmers immigrate to the United States-dominated areas to earn a living because of poverty, and Reuters estimates that if this trend continues, some American cities will even surpass the number of Swedes in its second-largest city, Gothenburg.

In order to develop relations with Sweden, the Grand Duke of Luxembourg was going to Stockholm because his "snowmobile" was completed and he happened to go to Sweden to hold a trade fair. It's a good idea to get your snowmobile to the test in the Nordics. Recently, he was scolded by the British because of the "Victoria's Secret" black silk incident, and even his daughter-in-law did not support him, so he just went to avoid the limelight.
