The sun never sets in America

Chapter 379 European Brawl

The night reaches the Black Sea, like a black "pearl belt" and a black carpet.

"Crash!!"

When the flowing water washed up on the beach, the Ottoman border guards had just finished their patrol in the middle of the night.

"Damn Russians, it's all them who caused us to do this now!!"

"Damn it, if I have a chance, I will shoot and kill a few Russian guys and make them wag their tails for us like dogs!!"

"The Russians are all bastards, they are just a bunch of shameless robbers!!"

Beside the dazzling bonfire, a dozen Ottoman soldiers were sitting around, cursing the damn "Russia".

The current situation in the Black Sea is actually very delicate. Although Nicholas keeps saying that he wants to take back everything that belongs to the Russian Empire, he still stands still.

It seemed like it was going to live up to the "feelings" of Napoleon III.

"Damn Russian!!"

This midnight greeting is unique to both parties and expresses "missing" each other.

When the curses spread among the Ottomans, an Ottoman soldier, as if he couldn't stand it, pulled out the pistol on his waist and fired a shot at the Russian patrol boat at sea.

And it mostly happens in the latter half of the night! !
But I don’t know whether it was the Ottomans who had a fit or the Russians who were provocative. The greetings took an extra long time today.

…………

It gives people a feeling of "hot pursuit".

The Ottomans, on the other hand, were forced to increase their troops while looking for cooperation with the British and so-called international assistance.

Late at night, there were still two hours before dawn, Sanchira stood by the Black Sea, constantly hitting Hache. For an Ottoman soldier like him, the second half of the night was actually the most difficult to endure, because at this time , is often when a person is most sleepy.

The real world is always funnier than the comics. Such a dark sky and sea breeze can actually hit Adayev.

After all, according to his intelligence, Napoleon III was likely to double as King of Italy.

Such behavior was naturally opposed by the Ottomans.

"These beasts!!"

And when a shell fired by the Ottoman artillery in panic hit a nearby military camp.

On the beach, an Ottoman soldier wearing an earth-colored military uniform and a sheepskin military cap lowered his head blankly, drooling from the corner of his mouth.

But this does not mean that Russia will wait forever. In fact, after France recently announced that Italy unilaterally separated from Austria and established the Kingdom of Italy, Nicholas began to make moves.

This kind of patrol boat was manufactured using technology transferred from the Han Dynasty to Russia. It is fast and has close-in defense guns. It is considered a good small ship.

Yes, it was a battle report, because the sound of artillery and the panic of the Ottomans triggered a full-scale artillery battle.

As for the reason, I don't know at all.

The moment Adaev fell to the ground, the Russian patrol ship was in chaos.

When the trumpet of "Hello, Ottomans" rang in my ears, not only the Ottoman soldiers standing guard on the coast woke up, but those who were still sleeping soundly woke up as if they were electrocuted.

Nicholas looked at the telegram in his hand, as if he had fallen asleep but did not wake up. It was not until he heard the words "Your Majesty, what should I do" in his ear that he woke up as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him? come over.

After the chaos came "anger". Driven by this, the patrol ship's only Chinese-made 55mm cannon hit the shore like a "blast".

On the sea, a Russian patrol ship was sailing, and the searchlights above kept flashing, dots shining on the coast.

But it didn't matter. The moment the cannon sounded, the war between the Ottomans and Russia was inevitable.

When the war message was delivered to Nikolai, who was still sleeping, the war had been going on for at least twenty-five minutes. Russia's inefficiency can be seen from here.

That's why he did things over and over again that made Napoleon III scold him as "shameless".

When Nicholas was woken up from the night, he received a battle report from the Black Sea.

When the searchlight detected the motionless Ottoman soldier, Adayev took a closer look, and then began to do the one thing he must do every day, "say hello."

…………

Unfortunately, it was too dark and I missed the shot.

When the Ottoman coastal defense artillery fired at the Russian ships, nearby Russian troops also began to gather.

With a "bang" sound, a bullet just hit the bow of the ship, hitting Adayev who was still watching the joke.

The situation in the Black Sea, in today's terms, is when the "storm" just started.

The merger of France and Italy is already inevitable. Once France and Italy merge, it will be impossible for Britain to pretend that the war has not happened, and it will not end.

And that time was when the Russian Empire gained the fruits of victory.

The Russians want to fight, but they always hope to obtain more pre-war benefits and hope to win the war at a low cost.

This means that war is inevitable.

Then the reaction was a burst of "vitalizing".

In fact, when the war broke out, even the Russian Black Sea Command did not know the details. It only learned ten minutes later that the Ottomans had opened fire.

Nikolai's little calculation was "crackling" and looked "flawless".

On the patrol ship, Adayev stood at the bow of the ship holding barley tea. The gentle sea breeze blew the barley tea in his hand, causing ripples like a pond to appear on the rim of the small cup.

Nicholas blurted out "Who ordered the firing?" which showed that he was not very happy at the moment.

In fact, in Nikolai's view, the war between Russia and the Ottomans will be delayed for at least a month until France completely controls the situation in Europe. Even within this month, we can observe the situation in the Americas.

But now, the so-called neutral observation has disappeared, and only "confusion" remains.

After confusion comes "spirit".

Nicholas commanded with a solemn expression:

"Command Rayav, I want to see victory, no matter what, I want to see victory!!"

"Victory for the Great Russian Empire."

At this time, Nicholas seemed to have changed again. As if he understood that there was no way out, Nicholas simply fought the war to the end.

After all, victory is better than failure! !
While Nicholas was waiting for news of "victory" in the Winter Palace.

After the war between Russia and Austria, the whole of Europe seemed to have been burned by cigarette butts.

Any smart strategist in Europe understands that the era of chaos is really coming! !

.............................................

In Paris, France, more than a week has passed since the "recovery" of Italy.

During this week, Napoleon III's popularity reached its peak.

It can be said that Napoleon III's status in France at this time was second only to his uncle.

Most French monarchs in history cannot be compared with Napoleon III.

Napoleon III is already regarded by some as the second Napoleon.

It can be said that at this time, Napoleon III could already speak for himself in France.

But with great success comes great pressure.

Italy won, but most countries in Europe began to alienate France. After all, no one wanted to be the second Italy.

Even some countries that originally planned to be neutral, such as Spain, began to accuse France of "tyranny" openly and covertly.

France's diplomatic environment has never been as bad as it is today. Napoleon III severely scolded the minister in charge of foreign affairs for this.

But this still cannot solve France's diplomatic dilemma. On the contrary, it has become more difficult with the British "stirring up".

This is why Napoleon III urged Russia to go south over and over again.

But the cunning Nicholas deceived him over and over again, causing him to call Nicholas "hypocritical Nicholas" at a salon in the Palace of Versailles.

But Napoleon III was in an exceptionally good mood when he woke up this morning. It could even be said that he had never been in a good mood.

Because Russia and the Ottomans finally started fighting, the pressure was finally shared, and France could also take the opportunity to integrate Italy and even plan the next step.

For France, the current situation in Europe has become very clear with the addition of Russia. The biggest threat, Britain, must be very entangled at this time, whether to go up or not.

We will face the joint strangulation of the two continental powers. Although the navy of the British Empire is powerful, it cannot sail ashore after all.

The failure to land means that Britain needs to deploy millions of troops on the ground battlefield to defeat Russia and France at the same time.

Such an almost "anti-British" thing, based on the French's understanding of the British, their soldiers would not do it. Even if you want to do it, you need a few helpers.

But is there still help in Europe now? ?

Prussia counts as one, half-dead Austria counts as one, and even the countries in Northern Europe can be counted, plus the Ottomans who control the Balkans.

It can be said that on the surface, the British still have many cards to play, and they can even play them well.

But these are the best possible scenarios.

The real situation is that it is impossible for the Prussians to truly serve the British Empire wholeheartedly as "the vanguard of the king", let alone challenge the two behemoths France and Russia. Even if they want to fight, they will have to wait until they are exhausted.

But now, France is full of energy and Russia has just finished. It doesn't look like it's time to fight, but it should be avoided.

Moreover, there is a secret agreement between France and Prussia. Under such circumstances, Prussia is the most stable country.

As for the remaining countries, although they have a large population, their industries are either too poor or their starting point is too low, and they basically belong to the role of soy sauce.

The Austrians were strong enough, but the domestic situation was completely exposed in this war, and the whole of Europe was no longer afraid of this "empire".

And this is why France immediately issued a statement of support after Russia went to war, and vaguely revealed its alliance with Russia to dispel those bad "ideas."

Russia's participation in the war was hailed by Napoleon III as "the most correct decision of this century" and even sent a "congratulatory message" to Nicholas.

Even the Han Dynasty sent a special "congratulatory message".

All in all, Russia's participation in the war made other countries feel good except for the suffering of the Ottomans.

Even the British have to thank the Russians for breaking the situation in Europe and making some people in the UK give up those unrealistic ideas and truly devote themselves to "war or no war".

Russia's entry into the war was like a boulder thrown into a small pond. The lifeless pond in Europe boiled instantly.

…………

"Your Majesty, the Russian army is at full war with the Ottomans, and the two sides are currently competing for Crimea."

"Britain declares war on Russia and expresses regret..."

"The Austrians secretly hope to reduce some of the funds in exchange for us getting Italy legally!!"

Karuska, the Minister of War who had just been promoted, was reporting to Napoleon III on recent events, as well as some information that would cause "chaos" across Europe if spread.

Napoleon III felt very energetic after hearing the good news from Karosca.

Then he spoke:
"Do the Russians have any difficulties? If they have any difficulties, France is willing to help?"

Karoska smiled and replied:

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid even if there are difficulties, they won't tell them!!"

"Ha ha……"

Napoleon III laughed from ear to ear when he heard this.

“How is the situation in America??”

Napoleon III was still worried about matters in the Americas. Although the situation in Europe satisfied him, there was always a voice in his heart telling him that the Americas were as important as Europe.

Even the situation in America is related to the future of France.

Although Napoleon III thought all this was nonsense, he was indeed more concerned about matters in America recently.

"Your Majesty, Han is basically at the upper hand now, and the Americans are struggling to hold on in Montana. It seems okay, but in my opinion, their failure will be a matter of time."

Karoska's words were concise and concise, and basically meant the same thing. The Americans were no match for the Chinese.

In fact, this is not just the view of Karoska alone but the view of the entire French strategic community.

By studying the Han-American War, they came up with an amazing algorithm, which is the basic quality of a Han soldier compared to two American soldiers.

Coupled with the advantages of weapons and strategies, it is difficult not to be optimistic about it.

Of course, war is not static, and the U.S. military is no longer the same as Wu Xia Amon. It is too early to judge that the United States is inferior to the Chinese based on just a few things.

Napoleon III walked to the sofa and sat down, and then he was served two cups of Han black tea.

As soon as he took his seat, Napoleon III asked: "How is the situation in Britain??"

"Do they have any plans to join the war??"

Faced with this question, Karoska is not as easy to answer as the Han question. After all, if the British want to fight, there will be a strategic misjudgment.

And if the British are unwilling to fight, then a huge problem will arise, that is, who can guarantee that the British can continue to endure.

So when faced with this question, Karoska’s answer was: “According to the current situation, the British may have to participate in the war, but it is not ruled out that they will participate in the war in a roundabout way by supporting other European countries. After all, the British like to do this the most. thing."

Karoska's words were actually perfunctory, but Napoleon III listened to them at this time.

“Whether the British will fight or not doesn’t matter if we say it, but whether we fight or not doesn’t matter if they say it!!”

Napoleon III's words almost startled Karoska.

Then listen again:

"The British hope to win in Europe, but we cannot let war break out in Europe this time!!"

"Your Majesty is saying??"

Karoska has roughly understood what Napoleon III meant.

Napoleon III looked at Carost with bright eyes and replied calmly:

"Last time, the British took advantage of our lack of preparation and took away nearly half of the Suez Canal belonging to France. Some time ago, they teamed up with the Austrians to kill our Mediterranean Fleet!!"

“Do they really think this world belongs to the Anglo-Saxons??”

A sarcastic smile appeared on Napoleon III's lips, and then he said:

"The British hope to unite those countries in Europe that are against us and lock France down."

"Just like Emperor Napoleon back then!!"

"France has already failed once, we cannot fail a second time!!"

Napoleon III's expression was extremely excited, and then he said:

"If the war has to break out in Europe, then Britain should also be part of Europe!!"

"Pa", Carost was completely frightened by Napoleon III's crazy thoughts and was speechless for a long time.

Opposite him, Napoleon III asked with a serious expression:

"How is the Navy doing now??"

Karoska wanted to say something, but finally answered: "Since the failure of the Mediterranean Fleet, the navy has been ashamed of it and trained day and night, hoping to wash away the shame of that time!!"

"Okay, this is the kind of momentum we want!!"

Napoleon III applauded, and then said:

"Tell the Navy that from today on, they should study, learn from their opponents, and show respect to their teachers just like going to school!!"

The "teacher" in Napoleon's mouth is obviously a derogatory term.

Karoska on the opposite side opened her mouth, and finally nodded slowly, agreeing to the emperor's order.

And when Karuska left, Napoleon III said nothing and just walked back and forth in the room alone.

.........

In the Xijing Palace, when Liu Peng received the battle report from the front line, he picked up the intelligence about Russia again, with a smile on his lips.

"Father, if Russia starts a war now, will the British end early??"

Liu Yu still cares very much about Britain's actions.

Liu Peng shook his head and then explained:
"Remember, you don't have to fight yourself to join the war. It's the same if you let others fight."

“But which other country in Europe can fight, Prussia??”

Liu Yu didn't quite understand what Liu Peng meant.

Liu Peng smiled and said nothing. He just turned back and looked at the globe on the table.

It took a long time before I replied:
"The so-called Europe is the Europe of Europeans. The French hope to trample all Europe under their feet. The British are the same, and the Russians are the same, but they forget that if the ambition is too great, the more people will die!!"
