1825 My New Daming

Chapter 259 How come you Daoguang, who has a sly eyebrow and a mouse eye, has also learned to be an imperialist? (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

Raksha State, Nikolayev.

When Wu Fax received the secret telegram from the Great Jin court, Nicholas I had already left Adrianople, which had just been captured, and went to the city of Nikolayev near the Black Sea.

This is a new industrial city built around the Nikolayev Shipyard, which was built in 1788.

And this Nikolayev shipyard is really the hope of the Rakshasa Navy!
Since the time of Peter the Great, the Raksha Kingdom has attached great importance to the navy.However, the importance attached by the Raksha Kingdom cannot change the congenital deficiency of the Raksha Nation's navy, and the congenital deficiency of the Raksha Nation's navy is that it does not have a decent sea.

Not to mention the Arctic Ocean, there is actually no need for a navy there.

And the Pacific Ocean, King Wu Zhong took all the Pacific coast of Rakshasa, so Rakshasa doesn't need any Pacific Fleet.

In addition to the Arctic Ocean, which does not need any navy, and the Pacific Ocean, which is no longer there, the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, and the Barents Sea, which is located on the edge of the Arctic Ocean and can enter the Atlantic Ocean through the Norwegian Sea, are not bad.

It is possible, but the communication between the three seas is a bit difficult, so the Raksha Kingdom can only build three main fleets that can fight independently, namely the Baltic Sea Fleet, the Northern Fleet, and the Black Sea Fleet.

Among them, the Black Sea Fleet is the focus-this is because after the Napoleonic Wars, the territorial requirements of the Raksha Kingdom in the direction of Eastern Europe and Northern Europe have been met.

Moreover, Rakshasa does not have the ability to compete with the British Empire for maritime supremacy for the time being, so of course it can only focus on the development of the Black Sea Fleet.

And because the outlet of the Black Sea was blocked by the Turkish Empire, the warships purchased by the Raksha Kingdom from the Ming Dynasty and the British Empire could not come, so they had to build it themselves!
Of course, you must have a shipyard to build your own ship, so since the era of Catherine the Great, Rakshasa has invested in the construction of the Nikolayev Shipyard. What docks, slipways, outfitting docks, and supporting steel factories, Artillery factories, machine factories, power plants, etc., all have to be built one by one in Nikolayev and its surrounding areas.

After more than 1829 years of hard work, by the time of [-] in the Western calendar, the Nikolayev Shipyard was already the most advanced and largest shipyard in the entire Rakshasa.

The purpose of Tsar Nicholas I leaving the front line to visit Nikolayev was to participate in the delivery ceremony of an Ivan the Terrible-class battleship and inspect the Nikolayev shipyard at the same time.

The so-called Ivan Leidi class is actually the modified version [-] of the Hongwu Great Emperor class (also known as the Hanwu Great Emperor class), and the Raksha Kingdom renamed it as the Ivan Leidi class.

Its first ship was rebuilt halfway through the construction on the berth, so the construction time was relatively long.From laying the first keel to delivery, it took a total of 26 months!

This construction speed may be super fast in the 21st century in another time and space, but in today's world, whether it is the Great Britain who worked hard in 996, or the Rakshasa who treated the workers as serfs, or the one who paid enough overtime pay Daming is surprisingly slow.

If it wasn't for a major design change in the middle, for a battleship of the Hongwu Kai II class, it would only take 12-18 months from the laying of the first keel to sea trials.

Considering that Rakshasa is still in wartime, and the Black Sea Fleet is responsible for attacking Constantinople from the sea, the construction of the first ship of the Ivan Terrible class is indeed a bit slow.

However, the Tsar was very satisfied with the Ivan the Terrible that had just been delivered.

The other four battleships of the same level that are being fitted out or undergoing sea trials also let the Tsar see the hope of advancing by sea and dividing troops into three groups to capture Constantinople in one fell swoop!
The arrival of Wu Faxan gave Nicholas I greater hope—the attack on Constantinople would change from a three-way division to a four-way siege.

"Your Majesty the Tsar, the King of Persia who was beaten by your army two years ago and Emperor Daoguang of my dynasty are good half brothers. So this time, Emperor Daoguang of my dynasty is going to be invited to lead troops into the Persia, help the Persians fight against the Ming Dynasty... By the way, you can also help your country attack Constantinople from the east!

Of course, I am helping your country fight the Ottoman Empire out of friendship, not for the sake of the Ottoman land.So I don't want an inch of Asia Minor's territory.I only ask His Majesty to transfer your country's special rights in Persia to me, and I am satisfied..."

Nicholas I was also an old imperialist. As soon as he heard it, he knew what Emperor Daoguang of the Jin Kingdom wanted to do?

This is clearly to colonize Persia as imperialism!
Well, he is more ruthless than us Rakshasa people.We didn't even get to the mouth of Persia!

The Dajin Kingdom has been thinking about the estuary for more than 100 years, and this time it will be taken from the Persians!
However, the current situation is there.The next time we fight the Battle of Constantinople, the great powers such as Britain, France, Prussia, and Austria may all stand on the side of the Turks.

If the Luocha Kingdom wants to take down the Ottoman Empire as soon as possible, the help of the Dajin Kingdom is probably indispensable.

Thinking of this, Nicholas I nodded with a smile, and said: "Prince Wu, please tell Emperor Daoguang. As long as he sends troops to Persia, I will transfer all the privileges in Persia to him. From now on, Raksha Kingdom will not Will invade the land of Persia again!"

……

Derry, Red Fort.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Persian Kingdom arrived in Bagua City recently. The purpose is to ask our country to send troops to protect Persia. His Majesty the Emperor knows that Persia has always been protected by the British and Indian Empires... Given the current situation, if the British Empire and the Indian Empire It is inconvenient to perform this obligation for the time being. I, Daikin, are willing to do it for you!"

The person who was fooling Emperor William in the audience hall of the Red Fort was Qi Shan, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Kingdom of Jin to India.

These words of his are really better than singing... It turns out that the Dajin Kingdom did not go to Persia to invade and colonize, but to help Daying.

The British Empire has too many colonies to colonize.So Da Jin Guo went to help with the colonization.

This Daoguang is really a "good man of Taoism"!

"So, I have to thank Emperor Daoguang? He helped me keep the colony."

The Indian emperor William, who was wearing a cool white silk robe, frowned and seemed preoccupied when he spoke.

As the emperor of India and the Crown Prince of England, Emperor William certainly knew that the relationship between the Dajin Empire and the Ming Empire was very ambiguous.

So whether the Dajin Empire entered Persia to help or colonize it is really hard to say.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to thank the Emperor." Qi Shan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to thank the Emperor Daoguang of our country... as long as you support the Eight Banners soldiers of our Dynasty to enter Persia, everything will be fine."

This Qishan is a professional diplomat after all, he just can brag.

However, Emperor William did not intend to expose Mr. Qishan, but smiled and said: "Mr. Ambassador, please tell His Majesty Emperor Daoguang that our Great Indian Empire fully supports all his actions in Persia!"

"Your Majesty, what support are you talking about?"

"Support is support." Emperor William smiled, "If Emperor Daoguang's army can stop the Ming army from invading Persia, then my Great Indian Empire is also willing to transfer all the rights and interests it holds in Persia to the Great Jin Empire. Ambassador Sir, do you think these supports are enough?"

"Enough is enough."
