It is a large glass conservatory located in the imperial garden of the Hot Spring Palace. The outside of the conservatory is covered in silver, but the inside of the conservatory is full of spring.

The red flowers are the leaves, and the few unknown birds are chirping on the tender red branches, so happy that they have no idea that they are caged finch.

Zhu Jishi walked among the grass and trees, although he was in his eighties, he still didn't need the help of crutches, let alone someone to help him. However, the years still ruthlessly eroded the body of the Emperor Taishang. Just look at the maids who followed Zhu Jishi's side and chose most of the waiters, Lao Zhuhuang, of course, it's just a majority......

And in the past two years, Zhu Jishi's interest in women has not only declined, but his interest in politics is not as good as before, and most of his energy is placed on the landscape, or traveling all over the world, or fiddling with his own garden, but he enjoys it.

Looking at the purple and red in the garden, the grass is green and the water is clear, Zhu Jishi is also open-minded, and his steps are much brisker.

Zhu Guoxiong, the eldest son of tomorrow, followed closely by his side. He came from the Forbidden City after learning of Mathilde's death, although Mathilde was not Zhu Jishi's concubine, but everyone knew that this woman had some weight in Zhu Jishi's mind.

Seeing that Zhu Jishi's heart was good, the eldest son put his mind at ease and asked tentatively: "Father, do you want to posthumously crown Mathilde as the empress?" ”

"Nonsense!" Zhu Jishi glanced back at his son, "Do you not know the rules of Roman Catholicism, if Mathilde believed in Mormonism, I would have made her the empress already." ”

Zhu Guoxiong nodded respectfully. He's just making a gesture. It's not really about posthumously sealing Mathilde. "Father. The telegram from the King of Mexico asked, who is going to be sent over to represent you at the funeral? ”

"Mathilde's funeral...... I'll go for myself! Zhu Jishi said, sighing softly, "I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, but I didn't expect it to be forever separated." ”

Zhu Guoxiong knew that Zhu Jishi wanted to meet Zhu Juan, and might discuss the future of the Kingdom of Mexico and the Western Roman Empire with Juan.

Zhu Guoxiong thought for a while, and then said: "Father, it's better to let Bang An and Alexandra accompany you to Mexico." There is also a good response on the road. ”

Zhu Bangan is his eldest son, and his biological mother is the concubine of the Tokugawa family, and she is now the imperial concubine. And Alexandra is the former Russian empress who was "defeated" by Nechayev, and the current queen of the Kingdom of Siberia, who married Zhu Bangan two years ago. However, after marriage, Queen Alexandra and her husband have been living in the bustling and lively Yingtian, a young and beautiful Russian young woman who is completely fascinated by the big city of Yingtian, and refuses to go back to Tyumen, Siberia.

"Alexandra is the queen...... It doesn't matter where Tyumen is, right? ”

"It's okay, with Stolypin in charge, nothing can happen to the Kingdom of Siberia, after all, the hearts of the people are there."

Peter. Arkadyevich. Stolypin was the prime minister of the Kingdom of Siberia and was very talented in politics. A sparsely populated country was well managed, and most importantly, the people of the Kingdom of Siberia were much better than those of the Slavic Union. Over the years. Every year, tens of thousands of Russians flee from the Ural Mountains to the territory of the Kingdom of Siberia, which greatly educates the white people of Siberia......

"The human heart? Aren't you worried about the Red Army of the Slavic Union coming over? The suffering of the common people of the Slavic Union is not in vain, the country has become strong! ”

The Kingdom of Siberia is a rich and weak country, while the Slavic Union is a poor country and a strong country. Industry, especially heavy industry related to the military industry, has developed abnormally, and the country is constantly preparing for war, making it clear that it is going to fight.

"Even if Nechaev wants to fight, he will not pick Siberia to strike first." Zhu Guoxiong said, "As soon as Siberia starts, it will be a bad war, and it will not be over in a few years, and the Slavic Union cannot afford to drag it out." ”

Zhu Jishi had already walked to a small Western-style round table at this time, and his own maid set up chairs for him and Zhu Guoxiong, the father and son sat opposite each other, and someone served two cups of tea.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip to moisten his throat, Zhu Jishi said: "Xiong'er, I heard that the current people are not very willing to fight?" ”

"I can't say that I don't want to, it's just that people are at peace and want to live a peaceful life."

The reasons why the people do not want to fight are complex, and people's peace of mind is nothing more than a cliché. Although Zhu Jishi is old, he is definitely not confused. The outbreak of a world war is inevitable, and although the countries that gained a lot in the last world war do not want to fight, the countries that have lost red-eyed and hungry have been sharpening their knives for more than 2o years, and they will not stop fighting because the Chinese do not want to fight.

"The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, I, the Chinese people, do not want to fight, but you, the emperor, cannot but prepare."

"Erchen knows," Zhu Guoxiong took a sip of tea and replied, "The Ming Dynasty and the Great China countries have also been preparing for more than 2o years, and now if you don't say everything, there is always a 90% chance of winning!" ”

"Where's the odds?" Zhu Jishi asked lightly.

"First of all, of course, industry, more than 2o years ago, Daming was the most powerful country in the world's industry, and now Daming's industry has an overwhelming advantage over any of the previous powers, even if it is half the world."

Zhu Guoxiong is only talking about the Ming Dynasty, a superpower with a population of 700 million and more than 20 million square kilometers. If you count the industries of the rest of the Greater China countries, it is no problem to overwhelm the industries of the other half of the world, at least in terms of scale. It's just that war is not simply a comparison of the size of the industrial scale, and the countries with a smaller industrial scale are not without the strength of the First World War. Otherwise, the Japanese Empire in another time and space would not have attacked Pearl Harbor.

Zhu Guoxiong continued to say to his father: "The second is the preparation of the navy and army. The total tonnage of the Ming Navy is the largest in the world, surpassing that of Rome and Germany combined. The Xuanwu-class battleships under construction have an unladen displacement of up to 43ooo tons and a full load displacement of more than 5oooo tons, are equipped with 3 3-pack 41o main guns, and have a maximum speed of up to 28 knots, making them the most powerful battleships in the world! It was originally planned to build 4 ships, and now it is planned to add 4 more.

China's army strength is also the highest in the world, with a standing strength of more than 5oo0,000, and it can be mobilized to more than 1oo0,000 at any time. In addition, our Great China Empire has several very powerful secret weapons, including armored combat vehicles and aircraft, as well as aircraft carriers specially designed to carry aircraft, and airships for rapid deployment of troops......"

&nb year can be said to be 2o years of global preparation! The development and production of secret weapons are at the forefront of countries' war preparations. The Ming Empire, which had initially established hegemony in the world, naturally did not neglect the development of advanced weapons. And Zhu Jishi did not forget to use Zhu Yisha's golden finger to open the golden finger, including armored combat vehicles, airplanes and aircraft carriers, as well as the most top-secret atomic bomb project in progress, all of which are invisible Zhu Shi's golden finger quietly pointing the way.

Of course, there are also some secret weapons that have been developed outside of Zhu Jishi's golden finger. Airships, for example, are now a big hit, because in the last world war, the greatest difficulty for the Great Chinese Empire was to quickly send troops to North America. Although the scale of sea freight can be large, the speed is somewhat slow. If you can use a large airship to fly to North America along the westerly wind, you can theoretically save 9o% of the time compared to sea transportation.

Therefore, when the Ming War Department began to study the possibility of creating transoceanic airships as early as before the First World War. After the first practical internal combustion engine appeared, the Ming War Department immediately invested heavily in the research and development of large airships.

By the end of 1899, more than a dozen models of large and small airships had been developed, the largest and latest model was the Nanhai completed in June 1898, with a total length of 25o meters, using an aluminum alloy skeleton and giant cotton airbags, with a volume of more than 2o million cubic meters, equipped with 4 Tesla No. 12 diesel engines, with a total of 12oo horsepower, which could fly over the Pacific Ocean at a speed of more than 15o km/h in the case of a tailwind, and the payload could reach 25 tons. If you convert it into heavily armed soldiers, it looks like two or three hundred people. It seems to be good, but considering the cost of this airship and the flammability and explosiveness of the hydrogen used to provide buoyancy to the airship, the Donghua Kingdom of the Great China Empire produces safe helium, but the production is very limited, and it is not enough to supply the imaginary "thousands" of large airships comparable to battleships, and helium is not as buoyant as hydrogen. Therefore, the research and development of Daming's airship is still based on hydrogen, and the large airships that are now manufactured are all floating bombs......

Of course, Zhu Jishi knew about the "Hindenburg" disaster in history, but the Ming Emperor Zhu Guoxiong and the crown prince Zhu Bangshi were very interested in airships. Zhu Jishi persuaded them several times, but they couldn't dispel their idea of building a large airship, after all, the great empire created by Zhu Jishi was too huge, and any kind of technology that could allow people and goods to flow quickly around the empire had an incomparably huge attraction for national leaders.

"Oh, industry, army and weapons are ready." Zhu Jishi did not discuss the matter of the airship with his son again, in his opinion, without one or two unforgettable lessons, Zhu Guoxiong and the senior officials of the Ming War Department would not have realized the danger of the airship. "So, can we rely on this to fight a world war? The First World War fought the socialist United States and socialist Russia, and the Second World War will not fight a socialist China, right? Zhu Jishi paused for a moment and said leisurely, "Recently, there seems to be instability in the hearts of the people in the country, do you have a way to deal with it?" (To be continued......)
