Chapter 827 Declaring War (First update, please subscribe)
"1876 was a watershed year. The world changed at an unprecedented speed. From Europe to South America, from North America to Asia, the whole world changed in an earth-shaking way. Every time we look back on history, we will , that year actually influenced the next hundred years."

"The Rise of the Ming Empire" - Gu Cheng

Russian Empire, St. Petersburg, Ming Embassy.

The warm wind blowing from the Baltic Sea took away the cold current from the north. Petersburg in April is the best time of the year. This time is a good time for people to go outing and picnic in the wild.

Even the officials in the embassy were busy preparing for the weekend outing. The military attaches Liang Tian, ​​Song Chenghao, and Li Bin gathered around a low table in the courtyard of the embassy. On the table were pots of marinated mutton, Beef, while they were chatting about the opera they watched yesterday, they were skewering meat.

Today was the weekend, and they invited a few Russian girls for an outing. Daming never rejected foreign-related marriages. Many young officials stationed abroad fell in love with and married local girls, and many of them were women of noble origin from various countries.

"If it goes well, I should propose to Natasha in the next few days."

Li Bin said with a smile.

"Then congratulations!"

Colleagues expressed their congratulations.

"It hasn't been successful yet. Will she agree or not?"

"Oh, it's just an earl's daughter, and I shouldn't refuse it. You are a captain of the Imperial Army, so there must be no problem."

Suddenly, someone ran over in a hurry.

"problem occurs!"

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the past.

"Russia has declared war on Turkey! Just now!"

Intelligence officer Zhang Guodao said in a calm tone as much as possible:

"The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs just announced this news to the ambassadors of various countries, that is, on April 4, Russia declared war on Turkey in order to "save Christians under the oppression of the Turkish Empire" and "protect the Slavic brothers". Turkey went on the offensive."

Facing the sudden news, the officers who were skewering the skewers were all stunned for a while, and after a while, Major Liang Tian said.

"Okay, let's cancel today's outing, the war has begun, it came quite suddenly..."

Song Chenghao, deputy head of the group, put down the meat skewers in his hands unhurriedly:

"Actually, it's not sudden. After all, the Russians have been preparing for this war since last year. Since France entered Libya, the Russians will do it sooner or later. They have been preparing for almost a year. If they don't attack again, they will not attack." It's very possible."

Suddenly?Not suddenly, because everyone knows that Russia is preparing for war.Isn't it sudden?It must have been very sudden, because there was no news before.There is not even the usual ultimatum, but a direct declaration of war, which also makes mediation impossible.

Li Bin on the side also said slowly:

"It's meaningless to analyze these now. Now that the war has broken out, we, as military attaches, should go to the front line, directly observe the Russian army, and understand their combat effectiveness. After all, they are our allies!"

Liang Tian nodded and said:

"Rui Shi is right. Originally, we thought that we should negotiate diplomatically first, and then move again. But we never thought that they would attack as soon as they came up. The soldiers are very fast. The troops they transferred to the south for exercises last year have not been transferred back. , It should be for this day... well, the Russians took the lead in this battle from the very beginning."

"Although taking the initiative to seize the opportunity, the situation in Russia is not much better. Their railway transportation is lagging behind. In addition, spring is when the Danube River floods. The former will delay their assembly speed, and the latter will delay Time to cross the river."

After listening to the leader's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement, and Li Bin asked the leader about the next plan.

"What to do next, you ask me, and I also want to ask domestically. But when things have come to this point, our task is to go to the front line and watch the battle as a military attache visiting group. No matter how the Russians behave at that time, for us , the most important thing is to do the job at hand well, now... the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind is not stopping!"

……

April 4, Yingtian, Southwest Suburbs, Royal Manor.

"Finally the battle begins!"

Emperor Zhu, who was fishing, didn't even look up when he received the report from Prime Minister Zuo, he just stared at the fish float quietly, and then?

"How are the Russians preparing for war? Can their military production support their war with Turkey?"

As an ally of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu did not want Russia to collapse like it did in history because of insufficient weapons and ammunition.

"Your Majesty, you only need to ask the corresponding department to get the answer. Their arsenal was designed by us, and the equipment is also provided by us. We must have the corresponding information."

Zuo Zongtang asked Emperor Zhu to nod his head, and then said.

"Well, master is master, inform the company, adjust a batch of weapons in stock, negotiate with Russia, sell them, Russia is there to help, we need them to break through Turkey's defense, helping them now is helping ourselves , When the attention of the whole world is attracted by Turkey, we can take action against Brazil, this is my idea, what else does the left think?"

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Zuo Zongtang complimented.

"Russia has now declared war on Turkey, and soon the two sides will fight in places such as the Danube and the Caucasus. When Turkey's forces are fully devoted to resisting Russia, France will definitely take the opportunity to enter Jerusalem, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will also take the opportunity to go south. So, Majesty The global trend promoted by hand and hand will also be promoted! The time of God's Blessing for my Ming Dynasty will come from this."

"What is God Bless!"

Wang Youling retorted with a smile.

"This is clearly the general trend of the world planned by His Majesty. The so-called God's blessing is all due to His Majesty's astonishing wisdom. If His Majesty hadn't instigated the "Four Nations Alliance" in France to formulate this policy, how would God's blessing come about today?"

Is this flattering?
Yes!Neither is it.

This is a fact!

Three years ago, when attending the funeral of Napoleon III in France, Emperor Zhu stood on the shoulders of historical giants and tied the French Empire, the Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the war cart of Ming Dynasty
In just three years, the general situation of the world has developed according to Emperor Zhu's will, just as he expected at first - as long as the interests are large enough, countries that seem to be in conflict can join forces.

After all, the world has suffered for a long time!

Now, Russia is on board!
The French were on board, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was one short away. After the Austro-Hungarian Empire boarded the ship, and when Turkey was swallowed by the big powers, Ming's road to hegemony would be unstoppable!
Emperor Zhu, who was fishing, seemed to be calm, but at this moment his breath and fingers were trembling subconsciously, his seemingly calm eyes were full of fanaticism and excitement, he said while excited.

"Mobilize the fleet, the two ocean fleets will be unified into the Zhenyang fleet!"

This is support for Russia!
What is the meaning of the "Quadruple Alliance"?It is through this kind of support that everyone can see that they are united. As for whether they are united or not, it is not important. The most important thing is to show it through some actions.

Only in this way can others cast a trap.What is an alliance?

Although everyone knows that an alliance means betraying each other, at least let everyone understand before selling, at least for now, they will not betray each other!
