Chapter 1193 The Mountain Rain Is Coming
The mountain and rain were about to come and the wind filled the building. No one thought that the situation would change so quickly, and such a change even exceeded Shi Qikuan's expectations.Originally, he arrived here to discuss the Kokand issue with the Russian side, but who would have thought that the Russian army set off just a few days after arriving in Kokand, and even launched an attack in the border area.

The war broke out inadvertently.

"Where are we going?"

Looking at the direction of the car curiously, Consul Constantine turned his head and asked.

Of course he wasn't worried about his own safety. It didn't matter whether the Kingdom of Heaven was a civilized country or not. The important thing was that the Ming Empire was a civilized country.

Well, European countries’ criteria for identifying a civilized country is...the fist is hard. If the fist is not hard, no matter whether you can practice Western laws, you are not a civilized country.

After all, everyone is raising their fists to teach people to be civilized.

"Go outside the city."

Shi Qikuan said.

Soon, the car drove to the airship field outside the city, and there was a lot of movement in the airship field.The car drove straight to several large carriages.With the roar of the engine, a giant Kunpeng-6 airship landed slowly on the airship field with the help of the lift fan.

"This is?"

Constantine asked a little puzzled.

"Kunpeng-6 airship!"

Shi Qikuan pointed at the airship and said.

"The latest scientific achievement of the empire, its advent is simply a miracle. It not only has a long range, but also has a large operation. It can transport 21 tons of materials and fly 5000 kilometers. At present, the empire has 25 Kunpeng-6 airships! And the imperial airship company, Two such airships can be manufactured per month."

what?
21 tons!
how can that be!

Russia's largest airship has a load capacity of only a few tons... Well, I bought it from Daming, and Daming's airship is actually so big!Can hold so many things.

In fact, it can't hold 21 tons at all, it's only 12 tons at most, but why do you say 21 tons?It was to tell him—the empire's airships are very powerful.

Consul Constantine looked at the Ming Empire diplomat in front of him with some puzzlement.

What does he mean?
Although he didn't understand the intention of the other party, he still complimented him.

"The technological and industrial development of the Ming Empire is indeed enviable!"

"Does the Consul know what this airship is bringing?"

Almost as soon as Shi Qikuan's words fell, Constantine saw the materials being unloaded from the cargo hold, to be precise, they were memorized.

It's a gun!

The soldiers of the kingdom of heaven brought out rifles from the cabin. Each of them walked out with more than ten rifles on their backs, and some of them carried backpacks.

"This is……"

Before Constantine recovered, Shi Qikuan said in a calm tone.

"Mr. Consul, as long as we are willing, we can use airships to transport more than 500 tons of supplies, rifles, cannons and various ammunition here in the future. If necessary, we will build more airships. Is this inland? ?”

Hundreds of tons of supplies can be transported every day!

Even the Roman Empire couldn't do it. After all, there is no railway in Central Asia right now, and the Roman Empire can only rely on horse-drawn carriages to transport supplies and troops to fight.

Looking at Konstantin whose expression was changing, Shi Qikuan said.

"For the Ming Empire, there has never been any inland. Please don't doubt our determination. For the empire, we will never tolerate any actions that threaten the homeland of China. The determination and will of the empire cannot be shaken. Consul Your Mightiness."

Now Constantine finally understood the other party's intentions. He looked at the giant airship, frowning, what was in his mind?
It is a steady stream of airships, one after another, taking off from the royal territory of the Persian Gulf, and transporting a large amount of supplies here.

"This is the protectorate of the Roman Empire!"

"This is the homeland of Huaxia!"

……

The same dispute also happened in Constantinople. In fact, since the day Shi Dakai occupied Haokand, similar disputes have never stopped.It's just that the Roman Empire was so focused on digesting the Asia Minor region and conquering the Caucasus mountain tribes that it didn't spare its hands.

Now that he has freed his hand, naturally he is waving his troops at each other.

"So, the Ming Empire will never make concessions on the issue of the Kokand Khanate?"

Alexander II, the "Caesar" of the Roman Empire, frowned. Unlike the history of another world, he escaped the assassination of the Narodnaya Volya in 1881.To be precise, the recovery of Constantinople and the conquest of Turkey successfully eased the domestic conflicts in Russia. From the relocation of the capital to the change of the country's name, Tsar Alexander II gained unprecedented reputation and popular support.

Although there are still some underground revolutionary organizations in Russia, actively carrying out terrorist activities, trying to change Russian society by assassinating the tsar and dignitaries.However, because Constantinople has always been heavily guarded, the tsar's defense measures are appropriate, and it has repeatedly gone bankrupt.

Four years ago, Alexander II was about to sign a decree announcing the reorganization of the State Council and starting the political reform process of Russia's constitutional monarchy.In another world, he was assassinated on this day.

But now, he survived, which also allowed the reforms he presided over to continue.

"Based on our current communication with Daming, they will never make compromises or concessions in Central Asia. They insist that the Bukhara Khanate, Khiva, and Turkmenistan regions are the homeland of China..."

Nikolai Karlovich Giles, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Roman Empire, has always implemented a pro-French policy, trying to maintain the "Four Emperors Alliance" of Russia, Ming, France, and Austria.He even advocated the signing of the Reinsurance Treaty.In his view, the "Alliance of Four Emperors" is the fundamental guarantee for the rise of the Roman Empire.

"Giles, there is a protectorate of Rome, and there is a treaty!"

The Minister of War immediately retorted that the military attack on Kokand was promoted under the auspices of the Ministry of War.

"If we make concessions in Kokand, then we will definitely lose Bukhara, Khiva and Turkmen!"

Facing the rebuttal, Gilles did not back down, and said directly.

"If we insist on occupying Kokand, then we will definitely lose Daming, Your Majesty!"

Turning his attention to the tsar, Giles, as the foreign minister of the empire, spoke directly on the interests of the Roman Empire.

"What we have lost is not only Ming Dynasty, but also France and the "Alliance of Four Emperors". Without the "Alliance of Four Emperors", how can we maintain the interests of the Roman Empire in the ever-changing world situation?"

Faced with the foreign minister's reminder, Alexander II fell into deep thought. The reason why he agreed to the military's plan at first was because the military told him with certainty that Kokand could be defeated with just one charge!

But now?
"Marshal, how long will it take us to capture Kokand?"

"Three days!"

Marshal Vladimir said with his chest out.

"Three days later, the double-headed eagle flag will be planted on the top of Haokand City!"

"Marshal, you have five days!"

Alexander II stared at him and said.

"Five days! If the problem cannot be resolved within five days, then let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs come forward."
