I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 268 Whoring for free

This is what a weak country is. Let alone developing the economy, even breathing is wrong.

In order to seek development, Japan must do everything possible to meet George's requirements.

Gao Li had no ability to resist in front of George.

George's outrageous remarks to the British Foreign Minister also aroused strong opposition from Britain. The British Prime Minister called St. Petersburg, hoping that the Czar could restrain George.

The Tsar's reply is interesting.

George is the youngest son of Ya Er.

The younger son is always favored.

George is not yet an adult.

George's fiefdom was again in Amur.

Taking multiple factors together, Ya San said that I couldn't control George's younger brother and asked the British side to be patient.

In addition to calling back the Prime Minister, Yasan also sent a telegram to his father's old lover, asking the Queen to restrain British officials from gesticulating on issues related to the Russian Empire, and asking the Queen about her attitude towards Nicholas' assassination. .

This meaning is also very clear.

If British officials dare to make irresponsible remarks again, the Russian Empire will have to treat them the same way they treat others.

George didn't care how St. Petersburg was quarreling with London. Nicholas rarely came to Vladivostok, so George had to let Nicholas eat and have fun.

Compared with the enthusiasm in winter, Vladivostok in summer is even more peaceful and charming. There is no heat in the tropics or the desertedness of St. Petersburg. Everything is so orderly and full of vitality.

Nikolai came to Vladivostok to preside over the opening ceremony of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

That's right, although the Trans-Siberian Railway has almost reached Dolgolu, the groundbreaking ceremony has not yet been held in Vladivostok.

Since Nicholas had just been assassinated not long ago, George did not go to war and only held a symbolic ceremony.

The ceremony ended with Nikolai swinging his hammer and smashing a Dowin into the sleeper.

Then everyone went to the guest house for the banquet.

Nicholas was very satisfied with George's arrangement.

I am more satisfied with the development of Vladivostok.

In St. Petersburg, Nikolai had always been concerned about the development of Vladivostok.

After all, the boring and cold numbers in the report are not as shocking as seeing them with your own eyes.

George's Nikolai had nothing to hide. Even the fact that Vladivostok could build a submarine, George had no reservations.

"What do you want that thing for? If you want a warship, I'll help you find a way."

Nikolai didn't like submarines.

Only a country as deliberate as Germany would pay attention to submarines.

The Russian Empire wants to cover its folds with all its flesh. A major role of the navy is to flex its muscles and demonstrate its deterrence.

You can't see that submarine thing once you dive into the water, so what's the use of it?

"Why do I need a warship? Isn't it enough to make people hate me?"

George has no ostentation.

Amul has repeatedly been in the limelight, almost causing people to bite their front teeth.

If George builds another fleet, I'm afraid the Tsar will have sleepless nights.

Without warships, even if George's talisman group is invincible, the trouble it can cause is very limited.

It would be okay if George had a fleet, but even the Americans might not be able to sleep.

Don’t forget that Alaska in the United States is not far from Amur.

Although the Russian Empire sold Alaska to the Americans in black and white.

But George has such a rebellious character, who can guarantee that George will not settle old scores?

Even the Tsar could not guarantee it.

"It's not that serious. My father and I are not stupid."

Nikolai’s words contain a bit of information. It's not that serious. The meaning is actually quite serious, but it hasn't touched the bottom line of the tsar yet.

Not stupid means that as long as George does not rebel, the Tsar and Nicholas can tolerate George's "misbehavior".

It is still useful for George to talk about Japan every day in front of Nicholas, otherwise Nicholas would not stay in Japan for that long even if he went to Japan.

When he first arrived in Japan, Nicholas was quite curious about Japan.

Now all that's left is disgust.

"Zalinski is studying torpedoes. If we can combine torpedoes and submarines, then we will not be helpless when facing the Royal Navy."

George's ultimate goal is Britain, and Japan is not worthy of George's deliberate efforts.

Since some things cannot be changed, we must find ways to strive for the interests of the Russian Empire as much as possible.

For example, even if George strongly opposed Japan's establishment of a navy, it would not stop Britain from lending money to the Japanese.

What's more, the Queen Mother couldn't stop him from embezzling navy military funds to build a garden.

In that case, George would have to find a way to cause some trouble for the Japanese.

Alexeyev was envious of the "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" of the Qing Empire, let alone the Japanese.

Although the Beiyang Navy will not add any more warships in the future, as long as the combat effectiveness of the existing warships is improved, the Japanese will not be able to easily win.

For example, the naval guns of "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan".

If the Beiyang Navy is willing to replace the rapid-fire cannons for "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" and has enough shells, how many shots can Yoshino take?

Calculating the time, in a few years, a war will break out between the Qing Empire and Japan, and George still has time.

Even if the Qing Empire did not fight, Japan would take the initiative to go to war.

The British's borrowing interest rates are very high, and the Japanese themselves will not be able to survive if they don't attack them.

"George, there is no chance of war between us and the United Kingdom."

Nicholas was startled by George.

The British Crown Prince is Nicholas's uncle, and they have a close relationship with him.

"Nikki, anyone can think that, except you."

George reminded Nicholas that the Russian Empire can choose peace, but it must have the ability to turn its back.

Britain also had deliberate intentions against the Russian Empire.

The British Home Fleet is obviously targeting the Russian Empire's Baltic Fleet.

The British Mediterranean Fleet's homeport is in Alexandria, Egypt, and can block the Dardanelles Strait at any time.

The Russian Empire has a Siberian fleet, and Britain also has a Far Eastern fleet.

The target was so obvious that George didn't believe that Ya San and Nicholas had no grudge at all.

"Is this why you are targeting the United Kingdom everywhere?"

Nicholas is no longer arrogant, just like what he said just now, he is not stupid.

In addition to submarines, George also showed Nikolai Vladivostok's artillery technology.

Vladivostok not only has barreled artillery, but also mortars.

The Vladivostok Arsenal even tried to produce a 305mm fortress gun last year, which has been installed on the Vladivostok fort.

305 is the largest caliber artillery currently produced by the Russian Empire.

"Everything about annealing artillery is good, but the cost is too high."

George really didn't mean to hide it. As soon as Vladivostok was able to produce 75mm field rapid-fire guns, George contacted the military department to see if he was willing to buy it.

The military department must have wanted to buy it, but they had no money, so they wanted to have sex for free.

no way.
