The Forbidden City, on the study, has become the regent Aixin Jueluo. Mianyu is a place to deal with the government. The chapter update is the fastest original, and this is the emperor's special study. But now Emperor Xianfeng is only 15 years old, and all the power of the Manchu Qing is in the hands of the regent Mianyu and a minister of military aircraft. Mianyu also deserves to work in the upper study. Of course, although this is a bit of a violation of the system, at this time, no one cares about it. After all, Emperor Xianfeng was nothing more than a puppet. In the current situation of the great enemy, these are just small things.

The regent Mianyu summoned a group of military ministers and began to discuss state affairs, and in addition to a few of them, a white man attended the meeting. This white man is none other than Lieutenant General Albert, chief of staff of the Qing army. He was originally a retired general of the British 6th Army, and when the Manchu Qing Dynasty purchased advanced equipment from Britain on a large scale, he was hired by the way to train the Manchu Qing New Army. There were at least a thousand retired British officers who served as advisers in the new army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Of course, a large part of these people come for the lucrative treatment. However, these people are also capable people, and in the past two years, the new army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has also been trained well. No matter what the combat effectiveness is, but from the outside, at least it is completely different from the original Qing army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Emperor of the South has returned home, and it is expected that it will not be long before the war between us and the South will break out. This will be the last chance for the Qing Dynasty. I hope that we can defeat those rebels in the south and defend the Qing Dynasty! "The regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu said solemnly. Millions of new armies. gave him a lot of confidence. After all, the total strength of the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire was only 700,000 men, and it was able to devote itself to the war against the Manchus. At most, 500,000, the Manchu army was twice as strong as the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire. In the case that the weapons and equipment of the two sides are almost the same, the Qing army has a great chance of winning.

The regent Aisin Jueluo. Until now, Mianyu has blamed the reason for the defeat on the fact that the gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides is too great. He always believed that as long as the equipment of the two sides was not much different, the final victory must belong to the Qing army. This time, all the equipment of the Qing army was replaced with new equipment purchased from the United Kingdom. Mianyu thinks to herself. This time, the Qing army had a good chance of winning. In fact, he did not know that the standard equipment of the British 6th Army could not be compared with the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire. Otherwise, the British army would not have been so badly defeated in Burma. What's more, all the weapons and equipment of the Qing army were purchased from the British, and even the ammunition needed to be purchased from the British. A large-scale war came down. The amount of weapons and ammunition consumed is not a small amount. With no way to supply itself, how long could the Qing army hold out? At that time, the Chinese Empire and Britain clearly stipulated in the Memorandum of Understanding on the Sino-British Burma Conflict that Britain could no longer support the Manchus. Although, secretly, Britain was still transporting weapons and ammunition to the Manchus, such a supplement was tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, the million-strong army of the Great Qing Dynasty is ready, as long as those rebels come. It must have made their blood flow! Minister of Military Aircraft and Minister of War Shangshu Yucheng said. The regent Aisin Jueluo. Although Mianyu was the nominal commander-in-chief of the Qing army, in fact, the affairs of the Qing army were handled by Wen Qing, the minister of military aircraft, and him. He is interested in the millions of new troops who use the new equipment. There is also a lot of confidence.

"Your Highness, although the rebels in the south are strong, they have too many enemies, can the Qing Dynasty contact the European powers again and fight the rebels with the Qing Dynasty. Wouldn't our chances of winning be much better? Mu Zhang'a, Minister of Military Aircraft, said. Among several ministers of military aircraft, the influence of the original Minister of Military Aircraft, Mu Zhang'a, is not as great as before, and he and Pan Shien, the Minister of Military Aircraft, are only responsible for some trivial government affairs. Important powers were held by Wen Qing, the minister of military machinery, and Sai Shang'a, as well as Yucheng, the secretary of the military department. Of course, Mu Zhang'a has never been a person who is willing to be lonely, and during the Chinese Emperor Long Yufei's visit to Europe, he was the most powerful person who jumped up and down.

"Lord Sai, is Lord Mu's mention feasible?" The regent Aisin Jueluo. Mianyu asked. The Minister of Military Aircraft, Seshana, was now in charge of the Manchu foreign affairs, and the Manchus sent a number of envoys to various European countries. However, very few countries were really willing to establish diplomatic relations with the Manchus. The Manchus merely established a liaison office in these countries. But even so, the Manchus had a much better understanding of international news than they did in the past.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid it's more difficult. This time, the rebel emperor visited Europe, although he went to war with the Kingdom of Portugal, but the rebel emperor relied on his strong strength to directly subdue the Kingdom of Portugal. The European powers have also made friends with it, even the British Empire, and the Queen of England has asked the rebel emperor to visit Britain. It is estimated that no country will join forces with the Qing Dynasty to attack the rebels. Sezanne said with some frustration. Now the prestige of the Chinese Empire in the international arena is increasing, while the Manchus are basically ignored. Such a gap made him very dissatisfied, but more importantly, he was powerless. As an official in charge of foreign affairs, Saishana is estimated to be the person who knows the strength of the Chinese Empire best among the high-ranking officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

"Humph! It is better to seek others than ourselves, and in the end, the key is to rely on ourselves. As long as our army can defeat those rebels, it will be much easier to do it. General Albert, if we can defeat or inflict heavy damage on the Chinese Empire on the battlefield, will Britain join the war against the Chinese Empire? Wen Qing, Minister of Military Machinery, asked.

"Of course, Your Excellency the Minister of War. If the Qing could defeat the Chinese Empire on the ground battlefield, I think many European powers would be happy to declare war on the Chinese Empire! Lieutenant General Albert replied immediately. Although he had retired, he was well aware of the relationship between Britain and the Chinese Empire. The friendship between Britain and the Chinese Empire was only a temporary measure. When Britain has accumulated strength, or if the Chinese Empire suffers a setback, Britain will definitely jump out and become an enemy of the Chinese Empire at the first time. After all, Britain suffered a lot of losses at the hands of the Chinese Empire, and with Britain's character of revenge, it certainly would not let go of the opportunity for revenge.

"Very good, this means that as long as we can defeat the rebels on the battlefield, then the Qing Dynasty has hope for Zhongxing!" Wen Qing said excitedly. As the Minister of Military Machinery, he also had a very clear understanding of the strength of the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty. Judging from the national strength alone, the Manchus were no match for the Chinese Empire at all. Especially the strength of the industrial side. If the Manchus were able to defeat the Chinese Empire with the help of the great powers, perhaps the Manchus would be able to annex the industrial base built by the Chinese Empire in one fell swoop. At that time, with these industrial bases, the Manchus will definitely be even stronger. After all these years of change, Wen Qing and other high-ranking officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are no longer the kind of fools who know nothing about the outside world. They also know that industry is the backbone of a country. It's just that now there is no time for the Manchu handicraft industry to be built. The only chance was to seize the industrial base established by the Chinese Empire, which was the best shortcut for the Manchus.

"Yes, Daqing will definitely be able to prosper!" The regent Aisin Jueluo. Mianyu said. If the Qing Dynasty can prosper, with this credit, maybe he will be able to force his nephew Emperor Xianfeng to abdicate. In this way, he will be able to sit on the throne justifiably. Although his current power is almost the same as that of the emperor, what he lacks is just a name.

"General Albert, what are our chances of winning if we go to war with the bandits?" Minister of Military Aircraft Pan Shien asked.

"Your Excellency, the new army of the Qing State has a full 1 million men, and the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire that can be used in the war is estimated to be 500,000 people. The military equipment of both sides, the equipment of the Qing army was slightly worse. Judging from the combat effectiveness of the troops, the Qing army is also at a disadvantage. However, the Qing army had 200,000 cavalry, while the Chinese Empire did not have a large cavalry. However, the Chinese Empire had a decisive advantage in terms of navy. Therefore, after our analysis, we believe that if the war breaks out, the Qing state has a 40 percent chance of winning. Lieutenant General Albert said.

"What? That's only 40 percent? How is this possible? "The regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu and other high-level officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty exclaimed. In their opinion, they should have the advantage, how can they be at a disadvantage?

"Ladies and gentlemen, war is not only a comparison of forces, but also a comparison of industrial strength. The emperors and ministers of the Chinese Empire must have been more aware of this. Otherwise, they would not have invested a lot of money in industrial construction, instead of expanding their armaments. Lieutenant General Albert said. The industry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was almost blank, and the industrial strength of the Chinese Empire was no longer inferior to that of the average European power. In contrast, it is conceivable who will be able to take the advantage.

"General Albert, don't we have any chance of winning?" Wen Qing, Minister of Military Aircraft, was also a little nervous. If this is the case, then haven't all their years of hard work been in vain?

"No, Your Excellency the Minister of Military Aircraft. If we can fight it, we can win in the end. On the other hand, if the battle is stalemate, it may be white! (To be continued......)
