Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1138

[Chapter 1138 Decision]

“Your Majesty, the Russian delegation has returned.”

When the steam locomotive that Chester and others were riding left.

Su Yuntang arrived at Wuji Palace and reported to Zhao Xu.

“How do they feel?” Zhao Xu asked lightly.

He still hopes to get the entire Siberian Snowfield by means of bloodless means.

Subduing the enemy without fighting is the highest means of war.

If there is a chance, he still does not want soldiers to risk their lives in war.

This is also the reason why he supported Persia in the west and carried out the Indian Restoration Movement in the east after stabilizing the basic situation in the east.

Both Persia and Indians have their own interests, and Dasong can achieve its own strategic goals only by satisfying their interests.

“Returning to the emperor, from what I have seen, Chester and others have realized the gap between the country of Ross and Da Song, and when they left, they no longer had the arrogance they had when they first came.” Su Yuntang said slowly.

Zhao Xu nodded, expressing his understanding, and then asked Su Yuntang to go back.

Then, he sent an order to the wrinkled Yang Zhen, asking him to mobilize the army and approach the Black Dragon River.

This was deliberately shown to Chester, in order to tell him that Da Song was prepared.

Once the two countries fail to reach a contract, Da Song will directly march northward to seize the snowfield.

When the telegram arrived in Jincheng, Yang Zhen immediately dispatched troops.

Three days later, heavy troops had arrived at Heilonghe.

Under the deliberate arrangement, Chester and his party arrived at Heilonghean just at this time.

Seeing Da Song’s heavy soldiers gathered, the worries on their faces became even more serious.

At this moment, they just want to return to Petersburg as soon as possible to let Emperor Nicholas know everything about Dasong.

After another three months of trekking, Chester and his party returned to Petersburg.

Without time to rest, they immediately went to the Winter Palace to meet Nicholas.

“Chester, you are finally back. While you were away, there was news that encouraged all the countries in the Western Turks. We don’t need to be afraid of the Great Song from now on.” Seeing Nicholas, Chester hadn’t spoken yet. , Nicholas said first, his face full of excitement.

Chester was about to tell Nicholas what Da Song had seen and heard, so he couldn’t help being startled.

Nicholas continued, “During the time you went to Dasong, Britain successfully imitated Dasong’s breech-loading line gun. Although the range is a little worse than Dasong’s breech-loading gun, it is still good enough.”

“This… this is indeed good news.” Chester smiled, and he was really happy in his heart.

But he is very clear that Da Song is not just a breech-loading musket that is powerful.

He had to let Nicholas understand this, otherwise the emperor might make a wrong judgment and drive the Great Song Mission away from Petersburg.

So, he said, “Your Majesty the Emperor, what I brought is very bad news…”

He told Nicholas everything he saw in Dasong.

Other nobles also echoed, adding some details.

“Electric power industry?” As everyone narrated, Nicholas’ joy at the successful imitation of the musket gradually turned into serious worry.

If it wasn’t Chester and Rose nobles standing in front of him, he would definitely think it was a lie.

But now there are so many people in front of him, from different interest groups.

What they say is similar, so it can’t be fake.

According to his meaning, the current Da Song has entered a higher industrial level than their Western land.

At this industrial level, Dasong has produced many emerging technologies.

In order to prove himself, Chester presented Nicola with thick photos.

“This thing is called a photo, and it is taken by something called a camera, which can record a momentary image. These photos show what we saw when we were in Dasong.” Chester explained.

At this moment, Nicholas was dumbfounded.

He had never seen this thing before, and when he saw the lifelike Chester on the paper, he thought it was a painting.

Even if Chester explained, he was still confused and didn’t quite understand.

Seeing this, Chester explained it in detail, and then Nicholas was confused.

Immediately, the picture on the photo began to make his body tremble slightly.

“When we returned to Petersburg, Dasong invested heavily in the south bank of the Black Dragon River. If we fail to reach a contract this time, the war between Dasong and the country of Ross will break out.” Chester said seriously.

When Nicholas heard this, his face became serious.

The joy that the breech-loading rifle was imitated disappeared in an instant.

Just as Chester said, with Dasong’s current industrial technology, maybe Dasong will have even more terrifying guns and artillery soon.

And these things can only be manufactured at the power industry level.

At that time, even if the Dasong people give them the technical drawings, they will not be able to imitate them.

What’s more, it is already very difficult for them to imitate the breech-loading rifle in Xitu this time.

The imitated finished product is also a little worse than the rifle installed by Dasong.

After pondering for a while, he finally made a decision and said to Chester, “If we agree to Dasong’s conditions, Dasong must sign a non-aggression treaty with our country of Ross, and at the same time export some technology to us, which will allow us to Otherwise, we will bear the crime of ceding the Far East.”

“When I came back, I was told that their Foreign Minister Dong An has the right to formulate some terms, and maybe it’s time to talk to him now.” Chester thought What, said suddenly.

Nicola nodded.

The Great Foreign Minister had been in Petersburg for half a year.

For the past six months, he has been left hanging.

“Before that, we still need to convene important officials and nobles to discuss. After all, this means an important turn in the diplomacy of our country of Ross.” Nicholas said in a deep voice.

It was a tough decision to make.

Once other Western countries learn that Ross has a deal with Dasong.

Their country of Ross is likely to be labeled as a traitor to the West.

But he also deeply understands that this is an opportunity for the country of Ross.

Before the rise of Dasong, the country of Ross was the key target of Britain’s suppression.

Backed by Britain, many of their strategies failed.

Now, an opportunity has arisen to surpass Britain technologically.

As long as the country of Ross’s technology surpasses that of Britain, they will be able to gain an advantage in the direction of the western lands and get back everything lost by the country of Ross.

This is enough to recover the losses in the Far East.

More importantly, he had a premonition that the world had changed since Dasong defeated the East-Turk Alliance in Tianzhu.

Britain is no longer the overlord, and Dasong may replace Britain.

When the situation is changing, the cooperation between the country of Ross and Dasong may certainly cause dissatisfaction from the Western Turks.

But there is also a possibility that in order to prevent the Rus country from becoming an enemy, the Western countries will win them over even more.

In this way, their Russian state change can have both sides between the East and the West.

There is no doubt that this is the most perfect situation for the country of Ross.
