George III and his prime minister were talking about how the British Empire's thin-stirring stick stirred up the of Eurasia – it's not easy to think about.

Stir the vat with a toothpick.

What can a vat feel like?

The British Empire, though, has always seemed politically wise.

But the Ming Empire is clearly a super-empire that has never appeared in human history – even the Mongol Empire, which is incomparably gigant in history.

Because although the Mongol Empire has a strong military force, the scope of its rule may not be much smaller than that of the current Ming Empire.

But the political system of the Mongols was too fragile.

After the entire Mongol Empire lost Meng Ge, the real power of the Great Khan, it soon became four large pieces with a snap.

Then the entire Mongol Empire existed in name only.

But what about the Ming Empire?

They grew up in a country with a long tradition of imperial politics.

Even if Zhu Daohua, the son of the Great Tomorrow, dies violently.

The political system of the Ming Empire can also ensure the smooth succession of the next generation of Great Tomorrow - of course, a certain amount of confusion is inevitable.

The rule of the Ming Empire was far more solid than the foundation of the Mongol Empire.

Not to mention.

They still have industry, and railways, and sailboats, and steamships.

All of these technological advances allowed the Ming Empire to effectively implement Zhu Daohua's rule in such a large area.

"The defeat of the Russians so quickly is something that no one expected."

George III said with a sigh.

Originally.

The situation that the British Empire is looking forward to is a century of rotten war between China and Russia in the muddy fields of Siberia.

Especially on the battlefield in Eastern Europe, the defense system composed of barbed wire and trenches showed a "defensive invincibility" posture.

It is even more exciting for a colonial empire like the British Empire, which has many colonies around the world.

Defensive invincibility, at least illustrated. A country like the Ming Empire, which has newly joined the struggle for world hegemony and has the ability to overthrow the current world order, is obviously more troublesome in the face of such a situation.

How can we overthrow the world order without going through war?

However, the Ming army's rapid defeat of the Russian army in the Central Asian theater still gave a great shock to the whole of Europe.

New artillery.

More powerful shells.

Shelling at saturation.

Breech-loading guns with an extremely fast rate of fire.

The large-scale use of these new weapons.

It is completely unimaginable for many European armies whose minds are still stuck in the era of queuing to be shot.

And in London, the generals and staff officers discussed it

To support a war like the Ming Empire against Russia, the basis lies in industrial strength!

The amount of artillery shells invested by the Ming Empire in this war, the amount of gunpowder alone is unimaginably astronomical.

As a matter of fact.

This is because even today, although the British Empire has been able to produce high explosives such as yellow powder.

But

Production is limited.

It has not yet entered the stage of industrial mass production.

In this case, the cost is naturally very high, and the output cannot be raised.

Therefore, like the Ming army, the "loser" tactics of pouring countless shells after a battle are difficult to imagine even in Europe, which is considered a very rich British army.

But.

It's war.

For the British Empire.

In any case, they are faced with the reality that their main enemy has a large number of low-cost high-explosives.

To deal with such an adversary.

Only if you can have more or less the same weapon yourself.

It's just that in this way, the British Empire, which is small in terms of productivity, can compete with a country like the Ming Empire, which is incomparably huge in terms of core territory alone, right?

All of Europe unites.

In terms of industrial production capacity, there is no way to compare with the Ming Empire.

Being hostile to such a country makes people's scalps tingle just thinking about it.

And it's no wonder.

Immediately after the defeat of the Russians, the emissaries went to the countries of Europe to seek unity.

After all.

Russia was the most eastern European country, and they were the first to face the pressure of the Ming Empire.

And for the countries of Europe.

The expansion of the Ming Empire was also a great harm to their interests.

The power of the Ming Empire was extending to the east coast of Africa and the Middle East.

This is undoubtedly a challenge to France's interests.

But

Even Napoleon, the French dictator who defeated the anti-French alliance, subdued Prussia, and occupied Spain and Italy, probably did not dare to face the Ming alone

Right now.

Bang.

A Downing Street magistrate pushed the door open, looking panicked.

"King, the prime minister, the dictator has been crowned!"

Neither George III nor Williambert Jr. looked strange when they heard this.

News of Napoleon's coming to the throne came from Paris a few months ago.

The French dictator is very popular in France – after all, France is now the strongest country on the continent.

Italy and Spain were subjugated at the feet of France.

Prussia, Austria and other countries also withdrew from the anti-French alliance one after another, and the anti-French alliance in fact existed in name only.

And the Russians now have a plea to France.

So.

In such a favorable situation.

Napoleon's coronation was basically not too much of a surprise.

George III cursed in a low voice: "Damned usurper! ”

Williambert Jr. looked at the comer: "Didn't this dictator invite foreign missions to the ceremony?" ”

"No, no." "Not many foreigners were present when he was crowned in the Duomo of Milan," he said.

"Wait? Milan?! Williambert Jr. was stunned for a moment, "Why was he crowned in Milan?" ”

"Isn't it?"

William Jr. Potter was stunned for a moment, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Napoleon. Bonaparte crowned King of Italy! ”

William Jr. Potter and George III stood up almost at the same time!

"Damn it! King of Italy?! What qualifies this dictator for the Iron Throne of Lombardy?! George III was shocked.

"What else is there not to do? Having won the throne of Italy, is he going to be the king of Spain next? And then there's God, King of France."

The kings of France, Spain, Italy are the same person.

Damn Europe is basically half united!

Western Rome is resurrected!!

"In fact, his purpose may be the emperor of the French!"

"Emperor?! Is he crazy? ”

George III's face turned shocked when he heard this.

The Emperor has legitimacy in the West, and the two key words "Rome" and "Catholic Church" are tied in origin.

As a rule, the French did not have an emperor.

But if Napoleon were to be called emperor of the French.

"Actually, this man is very sane!"

William Jr. Potter said in a deep voice.
