London, 10 Downing Street.

The view from the window is dark, it's cold these days, and the capital of the British Empire burns countless amounts of coal every day – not environmentally friendly at all! So the whole city is shrouded in boundless smog, which makes people's mood gray.

However, British Prime Minister Duke Wellington's mood is rare and comfortable.

His good mood came from two aspects, the first of course was Robert who returned from the United States. Peel and Viscount Palmerston surprised him - because the Ming Empire, the Mexican Empire, the Gran Colombian Empire, the Republic of Peru, the Bolivarian Republic of Chile, the Japanese Empire, and the Kingdom of Hawaii began negotiations to establish the Pacific Rim Cooperation Organization, which made the United States feel both angry and frightened, so the US Congress successfully passed the resolution to join the North Atlantic-Indian Ocean Treaty Organization.

This is a rebel turning back!

After the independence of the United States, the British Empire said that it "did not want a son", but how could it not be in its heart? Where is the shortcomings of Britain, the world empire, even fools can see it, that is, the territory is too small and the white-skinned population is too small. Relying on 30 million British whiteskins to rule such a big world empire, and suppressing as many as 200 million Indian Asan, this plate can only be stable for one day.

On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful opponent of the British Empire, has a mainland area of 18 million square kilometers and a population of 360 million Han Chinese. And her vassal kingdom is only three or four million square kilometers, with a population of 30 million, even if you count Japan, that is, 60 million people. How do 60 million people turn over the days of 360 million people? Moreover, most of these 60 million people are also of East Asian ethnicity, namely French, German, and Anglo-Saxon.

It is not at all the same thing as the European white skin and the Indian Ah San.

Referring to the model of the Great Ming Dynasty, if the British Empire wants to be stable, there is only one way, which is to invite back the rebel son of the United States - although the United States is a rebel son, it is also the eldest son of the empire and the heir of the British Empire.

Moreover, the growth of the United States is too good, the land of the rebel family is too good to support people, and the attraction of poor people in Europe is too strong, and it is a matter of time before the population exceeds 100 million.

If one day in the future, the English father can't stand it, and the son of the United States can take over. When the time comes, His Majesty can go to the United States, and the capital of the British Empire can be moved from London to New York...... With 100 million American white skins and tens of millions of British white skins, no matter how many Indian Asans breed, they will have to be used as cattle and horses for the British Empire for generations!

With hundreds of millions or even billions of Ah San as cattle and horses, the plate of the British Empire is still as unstable as the Alps?

The second reason for the Duke of Wellington's good mood was that Foreign Secretary Robert Brown. A secret diplomatic achievement that Peel is reporting on.

"Mr. Prime Minister, Turkey's Grand Vizier Karapasha has given verbal assurances to our ambassador that Turkey will gradually withdraw its troops from Greece as soon as our promised arms and military advisers arrive in Constantinople.

Although His Majesty Sultan Mahmud II could not immediately recognize Greece's secession from Turkey in order to appease the country at this critical moment of reform. However, as long as Britain could conclude a secret agreement to ensure that Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, and Greece would not actually send troops into war in the event of a full-scale attack on Turkey by the Rakshasas, and that Ali Pasha would not defect against the Turkish Empire, the Sultan could promise to recognize the independence of Greece after the defeat of the Rakshasas. ”

The Duke of Wellington was obviously very satisfied with the result of this secret diplomacy, and nodded with a smile: "Very good! Let our ambassador go and say to Mahmud II that I greatly appreciate his pragmatism and understand that he needs a certain prestige to push forward the reforms of the Turkish Empire. Moreover, Turkey's reforms helped to maintain stability in the Eastern Mediterranean, which was beneficial to the British Empire. So the British Empire is ready to provide crucial and effective help to the Turkish Empire! ”

"Prime Minister, what do you mean...... Will we declare war on Rakshasa when necessary? ”

"Prime Minister, this would tarnish the good diplomatic reputation of our British Empire."

Foreign Secretary Robert . Peel and the Admiral Palmerston, who was present, thought that the Duke of Wellington wanted to take the British Empire to jump between Rakshasa and Turkey, so they immediately spoke to dissuade him.

"You misunderstand, I will not ignore the reputation of the British Empire," said Arthur, Duke of Wellington. Wellesley smiled and shook his head, "But I also have a way to make the Rakshasa army suffer a crushing defeat in front of the defensive positions outside Adrianople while ensuring that the reputation of the British Empire is not affected!" ”

"How is that possible? How could the army of Turkey defeat the Rakshasa army? ”

"Yes, the Turkish army...... Even if Mahmud II suppressed the Guards and created a new Turkish army, they would not be able to defeat the powerful Rakshasa army. The Rakshasa Army is recognized as the number one in the world, with as many as 1 million people alone, almost as large as the Ming Army, which has not fought a decent war for more than a hundred years. ”

Listened to Robert. When Peel and Palmerston were two laymen, the Duke of Wellington just smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Rakshasa's army is not the first in the world at all, it is just a large, bloated, outdated, outdated army that cannot keep up with the changes of the times, and is still stuck in the era of the Napoleonic Wars. ”

"But ......" Viscount Palmerston, who still knew a little about the army, puzzled, "Prime Minister, isn't the army of all countries like this now?" Everyone's establishment, equipment, and tactics are at the level of the end of the Napoleonic Wars, and at most, they have popularized breech-loading guns, breech-loading guns, and machine guns. ”

The Duke of Wellington smiled: "Yes, no one realizes that times have changed!" No, there are already some people who are aware of it, but it certainly does not include the generals of the Rakshasa Army. And even if they recognize the change, they don't have the power to change it. Because it is not only the Rakshasa Army that needs to be changed, but also the entire country. ”

It turns out that there has been no major war in the world for more than ten years, and military technology has grown by leaps and bounds in the past ten years because of the second industrial revolution.

In this case, weapons began to be ahead of the thinking of military strategists, and most of the armies of various countries with rear-loading guns, breech-loading guns, water-cooled machine guns, and even those who already had air power were still using the tactics and tactics used by Napoleon more than ten years ago...... This is not only the case with the Rakshasa army, but also with Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, and the Ming Army in the East.

But the Duke of Wellington, while in his time as commander-in-chief in India, found an exception, a rather successful exception! It's the naval airborne forces of the Dajin Kingdom! Their positional defense in Peshawar gave the Duke of Wellington a glimpse of the future of war...... Quite bloody and brutal, and very advantageous to the defending side!

Rao was a military master like the Duke of Wellington, and after thinking for months, he couldn't think of any good way to break through a strong defensive position composed of trenches, barbed wire, and machine guns.

It may be a way to flatten the position with overwhelming firepower, but the Duke of Wellington found after several artillery tests in India that the method of using cannons to open the way is extremely inefficient, and the number of shells required is absolutely astronomical.

Therefore, the Duke of Wellington had ordered a large number of barbed wire and water-cooled machine guns to be shipped to Constantinople, and also sent British officers who had fought in the Battle of Peshawar. Of course, all of them, after being discharged from the army, went to Constantinople in their personal name.

According to the great strategist's vision, the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom will suffer an unprecedented defeat in a place where the walls of Constantinople can be seen!
