Chapter One(2/2)
You go back and organize the best scholars at Pierre University to study these things.
It would be great if it could be studied.”
Napoleon felt that he had to say something happy to Murat to make him feel better.
"Downed so many planes?" Murat raised his head and asked. This was perhaps the best news he had heard during this period.
The coalition forces can shoot down the Ming army's aircraft.
"Planes that are cruising are not good yet, but when their planes drop bombs, they always like to dive bomb. This is the best opportunity.
Almost all the planes we shot down were shot down at this time.
There is also good news about the battle in the Svetloyar Marshes on the east bank of the Volga River.
Our army used anti-aircraft guns to fire flatly and destroyed thirty-seven tanks of the Ming army.
Although we eventually retreated to the west bank of the Volga River, we had found a way to deal with the tanks.
The Ming Dynasty's armored forces are no longer synonymous with invincibility.
Have you brought the anti-aircraft guns I asked you to bring?"
"I've heard about this. It can destroy the tanks of the Ming army and break the myth that the Ming army is invincible.
I have collected all the anti-aircraft guns that can be found in the country. The next batch of 88mm anti-aircraft guns made in the United States will arrive in about a week.
Except for leaving some for emptying in the south, I will send them all to the front line for you.
At the same time, the imitation anti-aircraft gun from the Paris Arsenal also passed the test. The caliber is also 88 mm, and the expected output next month is 120 guns.
Once the workers become skilled, it is estimated that the output will triple."
The news of victory brought by Napoleon cheered up Murat a little.
A strong iron-blooded marshal will naturally not become lonely just because of a little blow.
There was just no one in Paris to vent to, but in front of Napoleon, Murat could take off all pretense and vent.
Now that he has finished venting his anger, Murat has become the iron-blooded marshal who is good at fighting.
“That’s good, that’s good!
But it's a pity that when we went to rob the remains of Ming Dynasty's tanks, we didn't even get a single part, and we lost more than a thousand people.
If we can grab the remains of the tank, let's study it carefully and maybe we can actually build a tank."
Napoleon was a little regretful that he was unable to obtain the remains of the tank.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Without a tractor, it is basically impossible to drag those heavy wrecks.
Moreover, the tank wreckage was in the middle of the lines between the two armies. Artillery from both sides fired there, and many of the tank wreckage were already in pieces after being hit for the second and third time.
No matter how hard the French army tried, they would be bombarded by artillery fire.
"We can't have everything. Even if we have these things, where will the oil come from?
We can't always exchange gold for Ming Dynasty's oil! It's too expensive, and we might go bankrupt before the war is over."
"Oil is a big problem. I heard that Prussia has restarted coal-burning airships." Napoleon sighed.
His soldiers can tighten their belts, but airships and tractors in the sky cannot move without fuel.
"I heard a news that the British seem to have developed a method of refining oil from coal." Murat mysteriously told a piece of gossip.
"Really?" When Napoleon heard the news, his eyes widened immediately and he looked at Murat without blinking.
"I have sent people to inquire about the news from Oxford University.
But I hope it's true!
With coal-based oil technology, we no longer have to be exploited by Ming Dynasty."
"You fly back immediately and get this technology no matter what.
No matter what the cost!"
Napoleon ordered very seriously.
"yes!"
"Also, when you go back, go to Berlin. Meet with Prime Minister Bismarck. I mentioned to him the establishment of a combined European fleet.
Integrate the naval forces of the entire Europe to deal with the Ming Dynasty Navy.
If he agrees, we will go to the Queen of England together. I believe that Elizabeth will also agree when she faces us and Prussia.
Although they may not be able to win if they join forces, they can at least form a tight fist.
To some extent, it can make the Ming Dynasty a little afraid. At least, it will not rush out of Gibraltar and come to the Atlantic Ocean to cause trouble."
"This is a way. As long as a joint fleet is formed and stationed in Spain, it can effectively prevent the Ming fleet from rushing out of Gibraltar.
In that case, the one who benefits the most is Britain, and that old bitch Elizabeth will definitely agree."
"That's what I think too. But I'm not sure what Bismarck and Frederick think, so you have to say."
"No problem. If the Ming Dynasty's navy enters the Atlantic Ocean, we and the British will of course be unlucky. But after we are unlucky, it will be Prussia's turn to be unlucky.
It is simply impossible to stay out of the situation at this time."
Murat said firmly.
"Okay! You rush to Berlin right away, no, go directly to Magdegeburg. Frederick and Bismarck were in Magdegeburg most of the time.
They don’t like the commercial atmosphere of Berlin!”
"I know!" Murat agreed.
"We will conquer Tsaritsyn as soon as possible, no matter how high the cost.
As long as we conquer Tsaritsyn, there will be no natural moat for the Ming army to rely on as a barrier moving forward.
We can directly access the Central Asian Railway and cut off the connection between Ming Dynasty and Russia.
At that time, Ming Dynasty had no other option but to surrender and seek peace.
As long as we win this battle, we will quickly return to the country. With a large army defending, the Ming army's naval advantage in the Mediterranean will no longer exist."
"There will be street fighting soon, so work harder. It's just that Prussian Rundstedt took advantage."
"It's not just a bargain, they want to be in the direction of Moscow to prevent the Ming Dynasty's elite troops from going south.
In this way, we can use more to defeat less in Tsaritsyn.
Time is very tight, so I won’t keep you. If everything goes well, the war may be over within two months.”
"Waiting for your good news, His Majesty the Emperor!"
Murat strode away.
I was dejected when I came, but full of fighting spirit when I left.
