As the Chinese Empire and the British Empire began to transform into a wartime system, the final preparations for the war began. Other countries within the two major military alliances have followed suit. All of a sudden, all the countries began to prepare for war in full force. The sense of war throughout Europe and the whole world is getting stronger. Many Europeans are even more panicked, fearing that they will be affected by the war.

The vast majority of European countries are included in the two major military alliances. As a result, many Europeans who are preparing to emigrate find that there seems to be nowhere to go. Both North America and Europe will be under the shadow of war. Although Northern Europe has not yet been involved in the war, no one can guarantee that the scale will not be further expanded after the war begins. The only places that can survive the war are probably South America and Africa. However, both places are in a backward period, how can civilized Europeans go anywhere?

For a time, the whole of Europe was in a panic. This has made the whole society more and more unstable.

"Your Majesty, the present Eurasian military alliance, consists of the Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of Spain, and the Kingdom of Belgium. However, if a war breaks out, I am afraid that we will find ourselves in the disadvantageous position of fighting on our own. Therefore, the General Staff believes that it is necessary for us to form an effective liaison mechanism to ensure that in future wars, the armies of various countries can cooperate with each other! Chief of the General Staff, General Sun Hao, said.

Long Yufei thought deeply about this, although everyone was in the same alliance. But there will certainly be no shortage of bullshit. In addition, the military strength of the countries within the alliance is also uneven, and the combat effectiveness is even more vastly different, if there is no unified coordination. Once war breaks out, I'm afraid there will be problems. In particular, the armies of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium within the alliance were far inferior in combat effectiveness to the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia. Long Yufei only hopes that after the war breaks out, it will be lucky that they will not hold back!

"The General Staff and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can liaise with other countries and hold a meeting in the near future to discuss the establishment of a unified coordination mechanism. Other than that. It is better to divide the theater of operations of various countries before the outbreak of war. In this way, it is good for coordination! Long Yufei said. This big battle will be divided into several battlefields. For example, the Asian theater, the American theater, and the European theater. Among them, the European battlefield will be the main battlefield, and at the same time, it will be the most chaotic battlefield, and these will need to be coordinated.

"Yes. 陛xià! General Sun Hao, Chief of the General Staff, nodded.

Afterwards. The Imperial Foreign Office sent a note to the ambassadors of various countries in China and began to liaise on the matter. The countries of the alliance are not resistant to the establishment of a unified coordination mechanism, and everyone knows that this is all about winning the war. However, the Kingdom of Prussia hoped that this conference could be held in Berlin, after all, the European theater was the most important battlefield. Merely. The Chinese Empire strongly opposed this.

Long Yufei knew that this was the initiative for the Kingdom of Prussia to compete with the Chinese Empire for the war. Though. The Chinese Empire was the most powerful country in the Alliance. However, once war broke out, the Kingdom of Prussia was the main force of the League on the European battlefield. Therefore, the Kingdom of Prussia hoped to establish its position, if not to replace the Chinese Empire as the leader of the alliance, but at least to be able to stand up to it.

However, the strength of the Kingdom of Prussia was not as strong as that of the Chinese Empire after all, and in addition to the support of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Spain clearly expressed their opposition. The attitude of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was ambiguous. Therefore, at the insistence of the Chinese Empire, the military conference convened by the Eurasian Military Alliance was still held in Huaxia, the capital of the empire. Officials in charge of foreign affairs and military chiefs from various countries will participate in this meeting.

The conference was scheduled to convene in October 1853, and from August 1853 onwards, the nations of Europe began to set sail. These countries all wanted to make another contact with the Chinese Empire before the conference began, and strive for more support. After all, as the current situation evolves, everyone knows that the scale of future wars will certainly not be small. Europe, as the main battlefield, may be scorched to the ground. If you can accumulate more strength before the war, you will be able to protect yourself.

Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia Albrech. Feng. Ron, Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Cavalry General Reichel, represented the Kingdom of Prussia at this meeting. On the side of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, it was Fouad. Pasha and Hussein. Pasha as a representative. On the side of the Kingdom of Spain, Foreign Minister José. Morality. Salamanca and War Minister Simon. The Duke of Maria will leave for the Chinese Empire. On the side of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Prime Minister Cavour and War Minister Pilimont will travel to the Chinese Empire. On the part of the Kingdom of Belgium, it was also Prime Minister Charles who came. Rozhye and War Secretary Caton.

It can be seen that all countries in the alliance also attach great importance to this military meeting.

At the beginning of September 1853, representatives of various countries arrived in Huaxia, the capital of the empire. The generals of the Imperial General Staff and the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can be regarded as busy. These representatives, all from the allies of the Empire, need to be properly arranged. After all, in the future war, everyone needs to fight side by side.

On 2 September, on the day of the arrival of the Prussian delegates, the Prussian Foreign Minister Albrech. Feng. Ron called on Wei Yuan, the Imperial Foreign Secretary. The purpose of the Prussians' visit this time, in addition to participating in military meetings, was more to hope that the Chinese Empire would be able to provide support to the Kingdom of Prussia.

"Your Excellency Wei Yuan, there are no iron ore resources in the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia. The iron ore we need often comes from Sweden in Northern Europe and neighboring France. Now, the two major military alliances are strictly opposed, and the French have stopped exporting iron ore to us. And the iron ore we imported from Sweden is also very likely to be cut off by the British Navy with the outbreak of war. If there were not enough iron ore resources, the Kingdom of Prussia would not be able to hold out for too long in the war! Prussian Foreign Minister Albrech. Feng. Ron said. The lack of iron ore greatly limited the development of the military strength of the Kingdom of Prussia. In peacetime, it can also be imported from abroad, but once war breaks out, these imports will probably be cut off, which will undoubtedly pose a mortal threat to the Kingdom of Prussia!

"Lord Ron, we can understand that. Although, the empire also has a great demand for iron ore. However, the Empire can sell some to the Kingdom of Prussia if it needs it! Wei Yuan said. Although, there were very few iron mines developed in the empire itself. However, in the overseas territories of the Empire, the Iron Ore of the Empire was not less. In Western Australia, countless iron ores have been discovered and mined. Ninety percent of the iron ore needed by the imperial steel industry comes from Australia. In addition, copper ore comes from the South Seas and North America, and saltpeter and the like come from South America. These mineral deposits in the empire itself are not developed much. Even after discovery, most of them were sealed as strategic reserves.

"Your Excellency Wei Yuan, then this is really the best! However, the kingdom does not have the money to pay to the Chinese Empire now, so it can only pay on credit for the time being, and then pay it after the war is over! "Albrech. Feng. Ron said.

The strength of the Kingdom of Prussia was originally inferior to that of the Chinese Empire, and when it was expanding its armaments on a large scale, it spent money like running water. The revenues of the Kingdom of Prussia were on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for the support of the Junker landlords and big capitalists, perhaps the Kingdom of Prussia would have been unable to hold on.

Wei Yuan nodded, expressing his understanding. The state of affairs in the Kingdom of Prussia is clear to the whole country. Therefore, Long Yufei had previously instructed that if the Kingdom of Prussia needed support, the empire could give them full help. After all, now the Kingdom of Prussia is still an ally of the Empire, helping them will help the Empire win future wars, and helping the Kingdom of Prussia is also equivalent to helping yourself!

The Chinese Empire began to supply the Kingdom of Prussia with iron ore and finished steel, in an attempt to allow the Kingdom of Prussia to accumulate enough steel before the outbreak of war. As for other non-ferrous metals, the Kingdom of Prussia was also in short supply. In this regard, too, it can only rely on the Chinese Empire. Fortunately, the territory of the Chinese Empire was vast and could support the needs of the Kingdom of Prussia.

With the exception of the Kingdom of Prussia, most of the other countries also submitted requests for support to the Chinese Empire. In order to maintain the alliance and ensure victory in the war, the Chinese Empire could only support them as much as possible.

However, some strategic things, the Chinese empire itself is not enough. For example, oil and rubber. With the rise of the internal combustion engine, the Empire had an increasing demand for oil and rubber, both of which had become strategic commodities for the Empire. Basically, as soon as it was produced, it was immediately transported to the empire itself. Fortunately, in this regard, the empire is still at the forefront of the world, and other countries do not need it much. Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble.

On October 2, 1853, the Eurasian Alliance Military Conference was held in the conference room of the Imperial General Staff, and the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, General Sun Hao, the Minister of Operations, Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wei Yuan, attended the meeting on behalf of the Empire. The Emperor Long Yufei will attend the closing ceremony of the meeting. This is a discussion between the representatives of the Asia-Europe Military Alliance on the establishment of a unified coordination mechanism. Moreover, at this meeting, the theater of operations after the outbreak of future wars will be demarcated! (To be continued......)
