I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 300 Are you convinced?

Anne, who was not engaged, was the imaginary enemy of all German ladies.

After getting engaged, Anne became the best friend of all the German aristocratic ladies.

The German aristocratic circle is the same as St. Petersburg. There are only a few top nobles. Although Anne is not popular with German aristocratic ladies, there are many princes who are eyeing Anne, and they are not limited to German princes.

When Anne was not yet an adult, a prince proposed to Anne.

After Anne and George got engaged, more people tried to get close to Anne under various excuses.

George didn't have to worry about his fiancée being poached. The guards around Anne were arranged by Ekaterina. They were all Cossack shrews, on the same level as the Yuriev Palace.

During the holidays, Ekaterina goes to Sigmaringen to deliver things to the truckload. Anne's furs are changed one by one every day, and they are not the same all winter, and they are all high-end furs that are simply not available on the market. Everyone is greedy.

High-end fur is okay.

Various cosmetics that are not yet on the market are the most enviable by wealthy ladies.

With so many relatives coming to Vladivostok, George must have made some arrangements for them.

"It's just a dozen grams, and it's more expensive than gold. Do you have any serious illness?"

The price of an airplane in Vladivostok is 120 million rubles, whether you like it or not.

The cosmetics that can be bought in the market are all commercial goods, and the real good products are not circulated in the market at all.

But it does not include coastal defense guns.

The things Prince Heinrich liked were not much cheaper than cosmetics.

Although Germany was unified not long ago, all the kingdoms and principalities have a long history, so although they are envious of jewelry and clothes, it is not to the point of jealousy.

Princess Irene did not refute. Seeing that Prince Heinrich was willing to accompany her to the mall, Princess Irene stopped complaining about her man.

The formula and process of aluminum alloy are the top secrets in Vladivostok.

Forget about the fireworks show, that’s for the people of Vladivostok.

A box of cosmetics only weighs more than ten grams, so it’s just that they are more expensive than gold.

This is how technical barriers are formed bit by bit.

"Yes, we women all have a disease that kills us if we are not beautiful."

But this legend is a bit false. Even if Ekaterina and Anne use cosmetics to bathe every day, they don’t need a workshop the size of a workshop.

This is enough reason for a wealthy lady to please Anne.

The appearance of the train gun made both Prince Heinrich and Prince Alfred frown.

Compared with warships, the advantage of coastal defense artillery is that it can zone the waters off Vladivostok in advance and formulate firing tables, so it has a huge advantage in strike accuracy.

Why is an airplane made of wood and animal skin worth the same price as gold?

George pulled out the train cannon and showed the fireworks to his relatives.

Legend has it that the cosmetics factory in Vladivostok has a special workshop that only produces cosmetics for Ekaterina and Anne.

Coincidentally, without refueling, the net weight of the plane in Vladivostok happens to be 924 kilograms.

Generally speaking, the price is comparable to gold is just a description, in fact it is not that expensive.

Prince Heinrich looked at the bill and couldn't help but complain.

This legend comes from Sigmaringen, because someone saw Anne's special cosmetics in Sigmaringen.

The forts built by the Siberian Fleet were fake and have now been converted into military camps for the Vladivostok Infantry Division.

The most expensive car in Vladivostok costs 10,000 rubles, which already makes Prince Heinrich feel pain.

Army artillery must be mobile, so it cannot be made too heavy.

Naval guns installed on warships do have natural advantages.

There are real people in the Yuriev Palace who make cosmetics specifically for Catherine and Anne.

120 million rubles is 924 kilograms of gold.

Kuklev would definitely not tell Prince Heinrich that the Vladivostok aircraft was not made of wood and hides, but aluminum alloy.

Generally speaking, naval artillery is more powerful than army artillery.

Calculated by actual weight, cosmetics in Vladivostok are really more expensive than gold.

When Prince Heinrich and Prince Alfred come to Vladivostok, no matter what the purpose is, they must take a look at the fort.

The gold content of the ruble is 0.77.

Although there is no need for a workshop.

This is the secret of Princess Yurievskaya’s eternal youth.

The cosmetics used by Catherine and Anne are different from those so-called exclusive products for the royal family.

The reason is simple. The Yuriev family crest on the cosmetics packaging is really eye-catching.

Coast defense guns do not need to be moved. As long as cost is not considered, build them as large as you want.

This is the power of technology.

Moreover, in terms of defensive power, the advantages of coastal defense artillery are not comparable to those of warships.

Although there was only one 305 train gun pulled out by George, Prince Heinrich and Prince Alfred were silent when they saw the dozen ring firing positions next to the area where the train gun was located.

Although I only saw one door.

But who can guarantee that there is only one door!

Does one artillery need to build a dozen circular shooting positions?

There are more than twenty such circular shooting positions connected by rails around Vladivostok.

So the moment they saw the train gun, Prince Heinrich and Prince Alfred realized that it was impossible to attack Vladivostok from the sea.

Let’s not talk about the submarine that has been docked in Vladivostok port.

There are train guns on the land and elusive submarines under the sea. If a foreign enemy invades, Vladivostok can also deploy mines.

There are also planes in the sky that can correct the impact of artillery shells.

Oh, there is also an airship in Vladivostok that can drop bombs——

This battle is impossible to fight.

Prince Alfred entered the Royal Navy in 1856 and was no stranger to the navy and forts.

Although the "Sovereign" class battleship under construction in the UK has a main gun caliber of 343 mm.

But even if the "Monarchy" is brought over, it will not be able to fight with the 305 train artillery.

The reason is simple: the risk is too great, and the costs and benefits are completely disproportionate.

What Prince Alfred simulated in his mind was the bombardment between "Monarchy" and the 305 train gun.

Prince Heinrich looked at the train cannon thoughtfully.

The Royal Navy is a threat that cannot be ignored by all countries around the world.

The threat to Germany was greater than the Russian Empire, which had greater strategic depth.

It was impossible for Germany to build all the forts along the coast.

But railroads can.

As long as there are railways and train guns, the threat from the sea will be greatly weakened.

The key is that these railways can still be used by civilians in peacetime and are not wasted.

and so--

The train guns have been pulled out, and the Vladivostok Infantry Division naturally has to be pulled out for a walk.

The use of a 120mm howitzer towed by a car made Prince Heinrich very happy.

This trip to Vladivostok was not in vain.

Prince Alfred didn't care. The Russian Empire's army was already very strong. After the Ninth Russo-Turkish War, the consensus in Britain was that it would never fight the Russian Empire on land.

After making this clear, Prince Alfred made up his mind.

Reparations, right?

pay!

As long as the security of the Straits Settlements can be ensured, we will give you as much as you want.

As for whether the Justice Company will unify the Malay Peninsula.

It would be no problem for Prince Alfred, because the Malay Peninsula was not originally British.

Prince Heinrich put it better. He was only responsible for delivering messages. Whether the Dutch were in charge or George had the final say in East India, it had nothing to do with Prince Heinrich.

As long as Britain is willing to compensate George for his losses, George will be better off talking.

George's purpose is really not to control the Strait of Malacca, he just wants to grow rice and natural rubber in East India.

As for trade with the Transvaal, as long as the British loosen the shackles around Amur's neck, George really has no intention of becoming an enemy of the British.

So when George had dinner with Prince Alfred, he seemed to have inadvertently isolated Amur from St. Petersburg.

While dealing with relatives, George did not forget Georgi.

After a winter of recovery, Georgi's health improved greatly. After Jiang Haiyang conducted a comprehensive examination of Georgi's body, he believed that Georgi was ready to return to Crimea with George.

Georgi's health is improving.

But the Tsar's condition worsened.

The Tsar spent the entire winter recovering from his illness in the Crimea.

Georgi wanted Jiang Haiyang to go to Crimea with him.

George doesn't mince words.

"His Majesty's main problem is alcoholism, and it has nothing to do with the cold."

Throughout the winter the Tsar's condition recurred many times, good and bad, bad and good, and his body was visibly declining day by day.

Nicholas repeatedly asked the Tsar to stop drinking.

The Tsar was fine every time, but within two days he was back to his old ways.

Georgi is Yasan's most beloved son. Nicholas sent a telegram to Georgi, hoping that Georgi could help Yasan stop drinking.

Regardless of whether the Tsar quit drinking, George's mission was to bring Anne back to Vladivostok.

George and Anne's wedding is scheduled for August 8th this year.

Catherine will also return to St. Petersburg at that time, because the wedding of George and Anne will be held at the Winter Palace.

On April 4, in the presence of George, the British Governor of the Straits Settlements, Cecil Smith, and the Sultan Aladdin of Johor signed a peace agreement.

Britain recognized the Sultan of Johor's rule over the Malay Peninsula, agreed to peaceful coexistence with the Sultan of Johor, and was willing to continue investing in the Malay Peninsula, working with the Sultan of Johor to ensure the stability of the Malay Peninsula.

Aladdin confirmed Britain's control of the Strait of Malacca, promised not to open a new port within the Strait of Malacca, and voluntarily gave up its claims against Britain.

During the British army's battle in the Malay Peninsula, a large number of civilians in the Malay Peninsula were killed. As for the number of deaths, no one can actually say clearly.

There are many kingdoms in the Malay Peninsula, and their management level is seriously backward. Even the kings of those kingdoms do not know how many people there are in their kingdoms.

Generally speaking, by signing the peace agreement, Britain got the dignity it wanted and could finally end this war with no hope at all.

Aladdin got benefits. The Malay Peninsula is not only rich in tin, but also a major producer of palm, natural rubber, and pepper.

Although Aladdin promised not to open a new port, he did not say that he would not expand and upgrade the previous port, which the British had no control over.
