1825 My New Daming

Petersburg, Hermitage.

"Grand Duchess Natalie Pavrovna, Lieutenant General Menshikov, Ambassador Wei Yuanda of Ming Dynasty!"

Following a burst of urgent and fast Russian roll call, Natalie, Menshikov, and Wei Yuanda, each dressed in costumes and uniforms, walked into the resplendent throne under the guidance of a Winter Palace guard wearing a wig hall.

Tsar Nicholas I was dressed in a blue military uniform, sitting on the throne, seeing the little sister who had been tricked by Zhuge Weidao finally came back, on a face that was always serious and scary, there was a rare smile .Mikhail, who was dressed in the uniform of the admiral of the navy, stood beside the tsar, smiling at his favorite little sister.

"Natalie Pavrovna, are you okay? Are you enjoying your life in Daming?" The Tsar spoke very fast, which made it even more obvious that he cared about his sister very much.

Natalie lifted her skirt and curtseyed: "Your Majesty, thank you for your concern. I am very happy with Daozi. We are very grateful to you for recognizing our marriage as legal."

The Tsar said: "That is a military adviser of the Zhuge family that Zhuge deserves for his Taoism. According to the conversion standard recognized in Europe, the status of the military adviser of the Zhuge family is equivalent to the monarch of a small country and the prince of a big country. In order to maintain the relationship between Rakshasa and Ming Dynasty, I must recognize your marriage as legal."

Although the Zhuge family kept their tails between their tails and kept a low profile in the Ming Dynasty, no one in the world thought that the dozen or twenty goose-feather fans in the Zhuge Army Division were ordinary people—they were just like the Zheng family members of the official party. More than a dozen NO.20 people jointly control Daming, the world's number one industrial power and populous country!

Therefore, every member of the Zhuge Military Division and the Zheng family's official party will be regarded as a "His Royal Highness"!
Natalie smiled and said: "Daozi fully understands your kindness, so he also cherishes the friendship between him and you very much. Similarly, he also cherishes the friendship between the Ming Empire and the Raksha Empire that has existed for more than 100 years. In today's complicated era, this friendship is an extremely precious treasure for both Ming and Luocha. In order to maintain this friendship, Daozi let Lieutenant General Menshikov and I take the train together , Airship, come to Rakshasa from Daming at the fastest speed, I hope I can persuade you to make the most correct choice on the issue of warship procurement!"

"What is the most correct choice?" asked the Tsar, frowning.

Lieutenant General Menshikov took the question, took out a stack of documents and a few photos from a briefcase he brought with him, and handed them to the Tsar himself.

"This is." The Tsar took the documents and photos and flipped through them, and found that those photos were of the battleship Hero and the armored cruiser Hero, except for the front, rear, left, and right parts, all other parts were taken.

"There are so many turrets!" The Tsar looked at the photos of the battleship Hero galloping through the waves taken from the sky, and couldn't help expressing emotion.

Wei Yuanda, the envoy of Ming Dynasty, immediately introduced: "Your Majesty, the Hero has a total of 12 280mm main guns. If you use the bow or stern to attack the enemy, there are six 6mm cannons that can fire at the same time. If you use the side to meet the enemy , there are 280 main guns firing at the same time!"

The Tsar still didn't show much interest, perhaps because he wanted it very much, but he still had to hold on to his face.

Natalie knew the Tsar best among the three. She had no father when she was young, and her eldest brother and second brother were too old to take care of her.So she followed Nicholas and Michal Yiner's buttocks.Seeing Nicholas like this, he knew that he was only greedy for Constantinople, but he had not yet made up his mind to capture the city.

Although there is now an international situation in which the world's powers gang up on the Turkish Empire, but apart from Rakshasa, it seems that no power is seriously preparing for war?What's more, the arms embargo imposed by the big powers on Turkey has not been seriously implemented. After India, a major South Asian country, "regained sovereignty", an Indian freighter loaded with "Indian arms" passed the Suyinshi Canal in a dignified way, breaking through the British, French and Aussa The blockade of the combined fleet of the four countries sent tens of thousands of tons of munitions into Constantinople.

In addition, there is also intelligence that the ambassador sent by the Indian Empire to Turkey is mediating, wanting to avoid a full-scale outbreak of war at the expense of Turkey giving up its sovereignty over Greece and guaranteeing autonomy in Wallachia and Moldavia.

And once Turkey makes concessions, countries such as Britain, Austria, Prussia, France, and Sweden may change their positions. Of course, the position of the United Kingdom is the most critical!
In addition to Britain's possible change of position after Turkey allowed Greece independence, the marriage contract between Alexander and Princess Victoria was also a reason for Nicholas I's hesitation.

"Nikolai Pavlovich," Natalie looked at her third brother, and said the words she had prepared a long time ago, "As the czar of all Rakshasa, your determination is that all Rakshasa nobles and The determination of the people, your will is the will of all Rakshasa nobles and the people, you have all the trust of all Rakshasa nobles and people. However, please do not let them down. Because behind this trust, there is Raksha The great suffering that the people of Brahma are suffering and will endure!

After living in the Ming Empire for two years, I already kind of understand what the December D people think, although their approach is completely wrong and will only make things worse.But their ideas are justified. Our people, especially the serfs, are enduring unimaginable pains to the people of other powerful countries.It is their pain that gives you and this country the opportunity to make a choice at this critical crossroads!But in Rakshasa, you are the only one who can make a choice!
But there are only two options in front of you, or. Desperately take Constantinople and its surrounding areas, and restore the glory of Eastern Rome!

Either give up the idea of ​​territorial expansion and focus on domestic reforms.Rakshasa has vast land, rich resources, hard-working people, and outstanding noble elites.The Raksha people can live happily without Constantinople, but only if drastic reforms are carried out.At least abolish serfdom and grant land to peasants, just like King Zhuge Wuzhong did more than 100 years ago! "

"Shut up!" The Tsar became angry when he heard this - how could he compare with King Zhuge Wuzhong?King Zhuge Wuzhong is a "half god", and he divided the land of those Manchu lackeys and Manchu nobles. It's a thief, where is the land?The aristocratic serf owners of the Raksha Kingdom are all Raksha dignitaries who support the Romanov family. It is already very difficult to liberate the serfs in their hands, and their land must be divided
"Then please make up your mind and lead the Raksha people into Constantinople, the most sacred place in their mind!" Natalie said, "Daozi has prepared a plan for you with a high probability of success. Of course, this It is also an arms sales plan.”

"Oh? What plan?"

"A door-to-door delivery plan of 999 million plus 666 million!" Wei Yuanda took the question with a smile and said, "The Raksha Kingdom can purchase 5 top-equipped Hero-class ships and 5 ordinary-version Hero-class ships. But the first ship You can get a further discount on the delivered hero class, as long as 999 million silver dollars, plus 666 million silver dollars to buy the first ship of the hero, and Zhuge Daozi will use this opportunity of sailing around the world to give you these two warships In this way, you will be able to get these two ships this fall, and the delivery location will be in the Gulf of Riga. And we will not announce this delivery to the public, so you can take advantage of the freezing weather in the Gulf of Riga in winter Opportunity, under the guidance of our personnel, learn how to operate the hero ship and the hero ship.

By next spring, the Rakshasa Empire's Baltic Fleet will be able to send an expeditionary fleet centered on these two warships to suddenly enter the Mediterranean Sea."

Hearing the "999 666 free shipping" plan proposed by Wei Yuanda, Nicholas I's eyes lit up immediately!

Seeing the change in her brother's expression, Natalie knew there was something going on, so she hurriedly said: "Nikolai Pavrovich, there are two fast passenger ships with a full load of 2.5 tons that will follow Daozi to the Baltic Sea. They can be used at one time. Transport a division of Luocha naval infantry to the front line of the Aegean Sea, then suddenly land and seize key locations! The price of these two ships is also 666 million each!"
