Zhao Mingyi, whom the Ming Empire found, said that the war would start again within 24 hours, and that there would be no further peace talks within ten days, and that there would be a battle near the Liaohe defense line - this was a problem that all the countries that mediated the Liaodong War had to face, and their mediation seemed to have failed, at least the Ming Empire unilaterally decided to continue the war until it won the battle in Liaodong.

"If I were one of the fools of the Jin Kingdom, I should desperately mobilize all my forces now to defeat the Ming Empire on the Liaohe defense line......," the French ambassador Lerkov complained to the British envoy Crans, "They have made too many mistakes in the course of the battle of Liaodong." ”

Who would have thought that the new army trained by the Ming Empire would have such a strong combat effectiveness? Who would have thought that in this ancient and decaying Eastern Empire, there would be a figure like Wang Jue? Who could rack their brains to think that the Ming Empire would come up with a big killer weapon like a tank at this critical juncture?

Perhaps the greatest luck of the Ming Empire was that when the war began, for various reasons, the emperor Zhu Changle, who was supposed to face the war, passed away...... When a country has changed its leader, it is wishful thinking to speculate on the country's reaction before the war with a truly accurate conclusion.

This series of variables made it impossible for Japan, the Kingdom of Jin, and even Ceylon behind them to complete this surprise battle according to the originally anticipated strategy. They were not able to win the war, but let the Ming Empire lead them to an unequal decisive battle.

Thinking of these coincidences, the British envoy Clarence was furious, and he gritted his teeth and said viciously to the French ambassador Lekov: "The war, which was supposed to end in one month, has been fought for three months!" This is completely out of our control, and if they don't lose, hell! ”

In the original war, both sides basically used military strength as the measure of their country's war capability. On the Liaohe Plain in eastern Liaodong, because the Ming Dynasty was involved too much energy in other directions, the Jin State could gather infantry similar to the Ming Empire, and although there was a gap in artillery with the support of several countries, it was barely able to maintain - this was the fundamental reason why the Jin State could barely maintain.

But now the war has changed, after the addition of tanks, the war system has begun to gradually undergo fundamental changes, and the human war model has begun to make great strides in the direction of mechanization. At this time, the industrial strength of various countries has become an important indicator of war potential, and there is no doubt that the Ming Empire is much stronger than the Jin State in this regard.

The whole Daming has more than 500 hot and cold rolling mills of various specifications, and the corresponding lathe equipment is countless, and the entire industrial system is comprehensive, and the maturity of technology is world-renowned. Even Britain and Germany, which are famous for their industry, dare not say that they have an advantage over the Ming Empire in this regard.

In contrast, in Jinguo, in addition to the steel mills near Anshan that have some steel-making equipment and Liaoyang has some industrial facilities, there are only some small-scale factories and workshops in Jilin and other areas...... Compared with the Ming Empire, it doesn't even have a sound industrial system, let alone compare data indicators such as production capacity.

Therefore, when the Ming Empire began to build a large number of tanks and equipment, and expanded its production capacity in this area to more than 3,000 units a year, the Jin Kingdom could not even complete the design of serious anti-tank guns independently within a month. At present, the anti-tank guns on the Liaohe defense line are all urgently imported from Ceylon -- as for the quantity, it can only be described as pitiful.

Looking at the German ambassador who was eye-to-eyeing with the American ambassador in the distance, the French ambassador Lekov sighed and shook his head pessimistically: "Today's Europe is no longer as monolithic as it was in the first anti-Ming war. We need to re-strengthen our alliances to curb the stupidity in the minds of restless nations. The alliance between England and France and Ceylon must be carried through! ”

"You're right! The alliance between England and France must be indestructible! The Cranster envoy nodded in agreement with his French allies, and his proposed alliance plan seemed to be a little more radical than that of the French: "It's not just an Anglo-Franco-tin alliance...... Muscovy, the Ottoman Empire were to be united. ”

As he spoke, he looked into the distance, looking at the Ming Empire's Ministry of Rites, Sun Fang, who was in charge of the Liaodong Symposium and all matters, continued: "Curbing the re-emergence of the Ming Empire and steadily developing Africa and South America is the guarantee of Europe's prosperity!" ”

"The United States and Germany, two idiots...... It's even whimsical to make trouble for us at such a time! They have a geographical advantage, aren't they afraid that the Ming Empire will really gain a firm foothold and turn back to produce another Emperor of the Apocalypse? French Ambassador Lekov spoke of the newly emerging Germany and the United States, the chosen nation outside Europe.

"If you really can't do it...... This time, we will have to abandon the Kingdom of Jin and save Japan. Krans thought for a while and instructed Lekov: "Once the Liaohe defense line is in chaos, I will immediately mobilize all the warships and civilian ships in the Pacific Ocean to help the Japanese army find a way to get out!" I hope I'll never use this plan, if the Ming Empire takes back Liaodong, it will become even more difficult to deal with. ”

In another corner of the peace conference room, Ambassador Hannassen of Germany was gloating with the American ambassador about the current situation in Liaodong: "Sun Fang expressed his gratitude for the position that our two countries have chosen on this Liaodong crisis. The Ming Empire will extend the preferential tariff agreement we signed with the Jin State for another 3 years...... At least in terms of benefits, we don't have much to lose. ”

The American ambassador was also beaming with joy, the pain caused by the separation with Britain was finally idle in North America, and the various industrial equipment aided by the Ming Empire to the United States did make the support of the British ignite a raging fire. On the issue of the United States, the Ming Empire has been targeting the British, and the United States has also taken advantage of this Liaodong crisis to reciprocate.

China and the United States have already embarked on a honeymoon period after two cooperations. The shipping routes from the Pacific Ocean to the Ming Empire had never been busier - the rice and industrial products of the Ming Kingdom were dumped into the vast Americas, and the West Coast of the United States became more prosperous than ever.
