As the emperor of the empire, in terms of women, Long Yufei is definitely the least one of the emperors who ascended the throne when they were babies or toddlers. There are many beautiful women in the world, but it is not that he is an emperor, he has to kill all the beautiful women in the world. That way, you don't have to do anything else every day. And, I don't know when I'm going to die on a woman's belly.

"Chief of Staff, I remember that in Cullen, it's your boy! This time, he really made a meritorious service. Director Luo, why do you have to promote someone to the next level! Long Yufei said with a smile. He is still relatively clear about the people in the family of Chief of Staff Niu Meng. The eldest son, Niu Zhiyuan, served in the Navy, and the second son, Niu Zhiwu, served in the Imperial Army and is now a major battalion commander. The youngest son, Niu Zhiyang, joined the Military Intelligence Bureau. The three sons are all very outstanding talents. is not like Long Yufei's own son, who is still in elementary school.

"Your Majesty, don't get used to that kid. That kid is also considered meritorious? It's just a bargain. The Manchus were cornered by us, and those Mongols, did they have any other way out than to take refuge in us? Unless they want to forget their ancestors and take refuge in those old hairy people. They had no choice but to do so! Admiral Niu Meng said. His youngest son, Niu Zhiyang, is only twenty-one years old now, and he is already a major, and if he is promoted again, he will be a lieutenant colonel. He didn't want to be told that it was because of him that his sons were prosperous. For life now. He was already very satisfied. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and his sons will be able to develop the city in the future, and they will have their own efforts to work hard. I want to rely on the help of my father, but there is no door.

"Haha, Chief of Staff, it's not up to you to decide this. Zhiyang is now a soldier under me, and it is up to me to decide whether he should be promoted or not. Based on Zhiyang's current merits, he deserves to be promoted to lieutenant colonel. Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, said with a smile.

"Lao Luo. You're pulling out the seedlings and fueling them. It's not good to be in a high position at a young age! Admiral Niu Meng said.

"All right, Chief of Staff! Don't meddle with that. What to do, Director Luo has his own measure! Long Yufei said with a smile. Many of the people who accompanied him in the fight are already old, such as Prime Minister Li Decheng and Chief of Staff General Niu Meng. The same is true of General Zhao Yi, Deputy Chief of the General Staff and Minister of Logistics and Equipment. Fortunately. Their sons have also grown up and can afford the heavy responsibilities of the empire, which can be regarded as a successor. For the empire to be strong, it takes generation after generation struggle. Compared with Admiral Niu Meng and others, Long Yufei is still young, but he is only 36 years old. If nothing else, he will be able to control the empire for at least twenty to thirty years. What he hopes is, in those twenty to thirty years. It will sweep away those opponents for the empire and establish the absolute superiority of the empire's world hegemon. That's the case. He was born again again. Long Yufei believes that with everyone's efforts, his dream will definitely come true. The ancient oriental nation will surely climb to the top of the world's nations again!

"That's right, Chief of Staff. The Manchus wanted to evacuate Beijing and flee to the Mongolian steppes after the beginning of spring. The army must be ready! Long Yufei instructed. Wipe out all the strength of the Manchus in Guannai, and then the enemy of the empire will be Russia. With the support of the Mongols, they could quickly advance the front to Eastern Siberia and burn the flames of war to the land of the Russians.

"Your Majesty, the War Department has already made a deployment. After the beginning of spring tomorrow, the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Cavalry will almost be ready for actual combat. When the time comes, they will be responsible for holding back the Qing army north of the Great Wall. In addition, the 14th Army and the 17th Army of the Imperial Army will also set off from Shengjing City to threaten the front line of Shanhaiguan and block the way for the Qing army to flee! Admiral Niu Meng said. After learning of the Qing army's plans, the Imperial General Staff had already made corresponding adjustments to ensure that the remnants of the Manchu Qing were wiped out. In this way, it will be able to ensure that after conquering Beijing, the Manchu Qing will be completely destroyed, so as not to cause another incident!

"Hmmm! That's it! Long Yuda nodded, and after listening to Admiral Niu Meng's words, he was relieved.

"Director Luo, how is the international situation now?" Long Yufei asked. Because of the war, his main focus during this time was at home, and he didn't care too much about international affairs.

"Your Majesty, during this time, the international community is quite calm. Our enemy, the Russians, was fighting us with all their might, so they stopped expanding to the south. In the Balkans and the Caucasus, a defensive position was taken! Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao said.

"Well, in that case, can we contact the Ottoman Empire and let them take the opportunity to attack in the Caucasus and the Balkans. Further blows to the Russians? Long Yufei asked. Russia will be the great enemy of the Chinese Empire, and it will be impossible to destroy Russia in a short period of time. Therefore, the empire will have to do everything possible to weaken Russia's strength, and it will be a very good choice to bring the Ottoman Turkish Empire in. The Ottoman Turkish Empire and Russia, that is a feud, have been fighting for two hundred years.

"Your Majesty, we're working on that. However, the current Ottoman Turkish Sultan Abdul. Mejid I was pushing forward reforms in the country, and all his energies were devoted to them. For external affairs, not much care. If they want to fight Russia together with the Empire, I am afraid it is unlikely. Or rather, they will not fight against Russia unless they suffer a decisive defeat! Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao said. In the Russo-Turkish wars, the Ottoman Turks lost more than they won, which made them not only lose a lot of land, but also develop a fear of Russia. If they could not see the hope of victory, they would not have the courage to go to war against Russia.

"Well, it seems that we need to win a big victory before the Ottoman Empire goes to war against Russia." Long Yufei said.

"Your Majesty, when we defeat the Russians again next year, the Ottoman Turkish Empire may change its position!" Admiral Niu Meng said. After all, by that time, if the Ottoman Empire had seized the opportunity, they would have deserved to be destroyed.

"I hope so!" Long Yufei nodded. For this country, which is called the sick man of West Asia, he has little hope. If you want to destroy Russia, you have to rely on yourself.

"Your Majesty, our old adversary, the British, has been relatively calm during this time. Although at the beginning of the war, he also had the momentum to join the war. However, after our decisive victory in the decisive battle of the Central Plains, the British were already honest! Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao said with a smile.

"Humph! The British want to fall into the ground, and there is no door at all! Long Yufei said coldly. He has always been on guard against the British. The main force of the Imperial Navy has always been deployed in the South Seas region to guard against the British. Unless the Navy is supposed to be able to defeat the Imperial Navy, they will not be able to pose a threat to the Empire.

"Your Majesty, the major shipyards of the British Navy are working overtime to build new warships. According to the information we have obtained, the performance of their new warships is not much different from that of our 'Western Zhou-class' warships. The same full steam power, also covered with armor. However, the specific performance is not yet known. It is expected that by the middle of next year at the latest, these new warships of the British will be in service. Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao said.

"Your Majesty, judging from the shipbuilding industry of the British, I am afraid that there are quite a few warships built by the British, which is definitely a serious threat to us!" Admiral Niu Meng said.

"Hmmm! However, by the end of next year, our 'Eastern Zhou-class' warships will also be able to enter service. In addition, the construction of warships of the next class will also begin. On naval battleships, it is not so easy for the British to overtake us! Long Yufei said. The warship design department of the Imperial Navy has already designed the next class of warships, and, according to the requirements of the Emperor Long Yufei, the next class of warships will be giant ships with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons. This would be a huge challenge for the Empire's shipbuilding industry, but if successful, the Empire's naval strength would grow by leaps and bounds.

"Your Majesty, our French ally, is now busy consolidating forces at home. Shire. Louis. Napoleon. Bonaparte has secured the presidency of France. Moreover, the forces of the Orleanists either surrendered to him or were eliminated by him. Now France has fallen under the control of the Bonapartist faction represented by the Bonaparte family. According to our estimates, starting next year, after integrating domestic forces, France will begin to expand externally! Lieutenant Luo Hongtao continued.

Long Yufei nodded, now France is still one of the world's powerhouses. Although after the fall of the First French Empire, France's power began to decline. However, Charles. Louis. Napoleon. After Bonaparte came to power, France's strength would be quickly restored. With their strong industrial and military might, they will soon show their outward expansion of their minions. However, now that the East was already under the control of the Chinese Empire, the French would probably have to compete with the British for other colonies of firearms in Africa if they wanted to expand abroad. This is exactly what the Chinese Empire would like to see! (To be continued......)
