Milan, Italy.

The Kingdom of Lombardy is entrenched.

The splendid and magnificent, spires and sculptures of the Milanese church.

Atrium of ornate Gothic building.

Reverence, complexity, or apprehension all looked at the man who was walking towards the Iron Throne.

At this moment.

Napoleon, dressed in a military robe, dressed in a velvet cloak inlaid with the most magnificent jewels and gems, was slowly walking up the steps.

He then took over the Iron Crown from Pope Pius VI of Rome.

The Iron Crown is made of six gold plates stitched together, and the crown is inlaid with cross-petal-shaped jewels, enamel ornaments, and inside is an ancient crown held in place by an iron ring.

Napoleon put the crown on his head.

The authority of ambassadors abroad is very large.

He sat on the throne.

"Long live the King!"

The mission sent by the Russian Empire negotiated in Paris with the Consul General of the Ming Empire in Europe, Pan Youko.

but in the East.

"A true empire should be like an Oriental king, with one voice, one leader, a system of imperial examinations, and perhaps a unified script and language."

If it is not possible to get support from European countries.

So, now all the countries of Europe can only watch this Frenchman . Uh, maybe Italian too.

Mikhail and Lepnin really led the army to fight the Chinese army, although they did not win.

The Chinese occupied the fortresses of the steppes of northern Central Asia.

The French, who were present, did not think so far ahead.

But if you lose, there is also value in losing.

Russia, for example, was the first country in Europe to realize that rear-loading guns would dominate the battlefield.

It's a stabbing thing, but think about it. Is there still a counterweight to France in Europe as a whole?

The British warships could not sail on the European continent!

It is normal that the negotiations between the Ming Empire and the Russian Empire were held in Paris.

This winter will be a window of time for Russia to use its diplomatic mediation to end the war that Russia is bound to lose.

In its place was the Central Asian Protectorate of the Ming Empire.

Meantime.

France will enter the arena of world hegemony.

It has the right to conclude a treaty and declare war.

And with the onset of winter, the road from Siberia to Moscow will not be possible for the time being, at least.

Cheers, applause.

Other than that

The remnant Qing forces in northwestern India, according to reliable information, are now also seeking to contact the Ming Empire, hoping to obtain the canonization of the Ming Empire by claiming vassals, in order to integrate into the Celestial Empire system dominated by the Ming Empire.

The envoys were all a little dazed, they did not expect Napoleon to be suddenly crowned king of Italy.

Turning around, he looked at all the people who were watching the ceremony—the local Italian nobles, the French nobles and dignitaries, and the envoys from various countries.

Across the desk were the Tsar's special adviser Radishev and the Minister of War, General Mikhail, and Marshal Lepnin, who had just been promoted to the rank of Reich Marshal for his military exploits.

Therefore.

As for the British Army .

They never dared to go alone against the armies of any European power.

But they were clearly looking forward to an era of French hegemony.

They are also acutely aware of the serious backwardness of Russia's industrial strength.

Become a super empire on the same level as the Ming Empire and the British Empire.

They could only be forced to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

"Long live Italy!"

An empire that included France and Italy, and perhaps Spain and its colonies in Central and South America.

But anyway.

"Italy, France, Spain. Napoleon even resurrected the Roman Empire! Mikhail was a little surprised.

Napoleon sat on the Iron Throne.

The Russians have not yet compromised and shown weakness.

The man in front of him has become the king of Italy.

This is the traditional oath of the King of the Kingdom of Lombardy when he ascends the throne.

Most of them were thrilled - they were originally officers of the French Young Heroes, and now the French consul became the king of Italy, which meant the birth of an empire!

"That is to fight the Chinese to the end." Petrovich frowned.

The biggest question now before the new tsar was how to end the war "with a little dignity".

"In any case, the pressure of the Chinese is here, if Napoleon wants to be emperor, he must take responsibility, he wants to be the leader of Europe, we will praise him as the leader of Europe, we can seek an alliance with the French against the Chinese!" Marshal Lepnin said.

For the Russian Empire.

What's the big deal about crowning the man in front of you with the crown of an emperor?

Republic?

It has long been forgotten by these revolutionaries who once opposed the Bourbons.

In the southwest of Central Asia, the Pingxi Domain, a vassal state that was subject to the Ming Empire, was also entrenched.

If France can integrate the European continent, then France will be qualified to compete for world hegemony with the Ming Empire!

"God has given me this, and anyone else dares to blaspheme!"

Thought that the Kazakh Khanate had fallen.

With such an achievement.

As a result, the Russians have realized that they are powerless to counterattack and are not even very sure of their defense.

Subsequently.

"Hooray!"

The Chinese can use this as a base and march towards Western Siberia, pointing directly at the Ural Mountains - the Chinese can do this perfectly.

The new Tsar Petrovich I abruptly stood up from behind his desk, and Bangkok stumbled over.

Belch.

All three of them are "China experts".

A glorious empire is on the horizon.

He took the report from Paris, opened it in a hurry, quickly read all the contents of the report, and then exhaled: "All right. The Russian Empire is saved! ”

At least.

The man recited an ancient oath.

The Ural Mountains will be a graben for the Chinese.

"Your Majesty! This is a letter I just received from Paris! ”

And the main venue for diplomatic negotiations is in Paris.

And once .

The Ming Empire completely integrated the whole of Central Asia, so they could use it as a base to continue their attack westward.

But if .

If they can get the strong support of the European continent, then the war can continue.

Napoleon thought.

And so far.

"Napoleon was crowned King of Italy. He really wants to be the emperor of France?! ”

Wait for the spring of next year.

"Of course, why would he go to Lombardy first? Well, now there is another emperor in Europe, and since he is the emperor, then he has the obligation to help Europe resist the invasion of the Orientals! Petrovich I said.

Moscow, Kremlin.

The actions of the British on the European continent would never have been done alone without drawing in a few allies.

Whether Corsica belongs to France or Italy, who can say.

In this era when there was no telegraph, no telephone.

Although the internal people were already panicking, in terms of external posture, the Russian Empire still put on a posture of fighting to the death.

His mind was no longer in Italy.

Radischev was surprised.

"Nope! The Chinese are not crazy, they are not Mongols, they may not be desperate to cross the Ural Mountains! Especially with the possibility of a great anti-Ming alliance in Europe! "So, we have to show our determination!" ”

"Determination?!"

"Yes! The determination to fight the Chinese to the end! Mikhail gritted his teeth and said, "Only in this way will those countries in Western Europe reassure us and support us!" ”

"We will be the shield of Europe, the shield of the East to defend European civilization! We have to go all out to get the word out about that. ”

"The Yellow Peril is coming! If Russia falls, the entire European civilization will face annihilation! (End of chapter)
