Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1183

[Chapter 1170 Chapter 1173 Trigger]

“Your Majesty, this is the rocket launcher produced by our military factory. Because this weapon has intensive firepower but insufficient accuracy, I named it Hail.”

“Hail rocket launcher, well, the name is very good. Appropriate. “

In front of Xiao Ming is a military green truck. There are 24 I-shaped launch rails on the truck, arranged in two staggered rows, 12 in each row, and each launch rail is mounted with a rocket.

Just like the ignition principle of a car, this rocket is also launched using electric sparks, and a special launch button is designed on the truck.

As long as the button is pressed, the rocket launcher will tilt out like hailstones.

After walking around the rocket launcher, Xiao Ming asked: “How many rocket launcher vehicles have you produced so far?”

“Back to the emperor, we have produced three hundred rocket launcher vehicles so far. If the empire needs it, we can produce it in a month. One hundred vehicles.” said the person in charge of the military industry.

Xiao Ming nodded. Like machine guns, rocket launchers consume a lot of money. No matter how many rocket launcher trucks there are, they must have shells.

Therefore, just like machine guns, the army can equip a certain number of rocket launcher vehicles as needed.

“In this way, by the end of this year you will provide 600 Hail rocket launchers to the army, and your main focus will be on the production of rockets.” Xiao Ming ordered.

The reason why he set this deadline is not unreasonable, because the empire’s next actions in Europe are likely to trigger a war, which is an action to dismember Britain.

Since the blockade was imposed on the UK, the UK’s strategy of using quota supply has persisted for more than three years, which did surprise him.

However, as the blockade continues, conflicts between Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England have been deepening.

According to Xiao Ming’s order, Hu Chuan went to Scotland two years ago to contact Scottish parliamentarians. However, at that time, the independence of Scotland was not yet ready, and the empire was involved in the war in Europe, so he continued to wait for the opportunity.

Last month, Hu Chuan returned news of a conflict between the Scots and the English, which made him feel that an opportunity was coming.

After inspecting two new products from Youzhou Military Factory, Xiao Ming took the naval general back to Youzhou City.

The next day, the group took a special train back to Qingzhou.

During this inspection, Xiao Ming gained a detailed understanding of the empire’s military strength. With the current level of technology, the empire would sacrifice fewer people in the conflict in exchange for a greater victory.

For him, his forbearance over the years was not because he was afraid of war, but because he did not want the empire to pay unnecessary casualties in the war.

If he could make a country surrender by sacrificing thousands, or even hundreds, why would he have to sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers.

Now, he believes that with the empire’s current armament level, he can fully realize his ideal war model and achieve victory with superior numbers.

Back in the imperial study, Xiao Ming called Tang Wenjie and asked him to tell Hu Chuan that he could do it without any worries.

Forty days later, news from the empire was delivered to Hu Chuan.

At this time, Hu Chuan was playing mahjong with Xie Yuan and other naval admirals on the battleship. Life at sea was too harsh, and they always had to find something to entertain themselves during this long time.

In addition to reading, Hu Chuan’s favorite thing on weekdays is playing mahjong. However, Xie Yuan, a rough man, doesn’t like reading, so the only fun he has is playing mahjong.

“Oh, I finally have something to do after waiting for so long.” Xie Yuan said after learning the order from the empire.

Hu Chuan said: “Now the fleet can sail to the Irish Sea. As soon as the imperial warships arrive, Ireland will be independent.”

Xie Yuan nodded. Ireland is an independent island country, separated from England across the sea. Now Britain The navy was completely destroyed by the Empire. With the support of the Empire, Ireland did not need to worry about British counterattack.

Compared with Ireland, the more troublesome areas are Scotland and Wales. One of these two regions is in the north of England and the other is in the west of England. The Capital City borders England. Independence from the United Kingdom cannot be solved without a war.

“Okay!” Xie Yuan dropped the mahjong and grinned. In fact, he was more leisurely than Hu Chuan, and he would be happy for a long time if he had something to do.

The order was passed on, and the fleet sailed to the Irish Sea. After arriving at its destination, Hu Chuan immediately sent diplomats to Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

In addition to using warships to protect Ireland, Hu Chuan also agreed to let Ireland join the Vienna Convention Organization.

After all, Ireland’s status as a member of the Vienna Entente would make Ireland safer than battleships. Likewise, Scotland and Wales were guaranteed by the Empire.

Therefore, between being blocked to death and gaining security and economic benefits, the three members of the United Kingdom, who were in different beds, chose the Empire.

Waited for a day.

The next day, under the leadership of imperial diplomats, representatives of Irish, Welsh and Scottish parliamentarians boarded the imperial battleship.

“Congressman Heinerson, Congressman Kelland, Congressman Kevin.”

Hu Chuan shook hands with the three regional councilors on the battleship.

Inviting the three people to sit down, Hu Chuan said directly: “Everyone, the time has come. England’s Prime Minister Murphy has gone crazy. For the sake of the English, they brazenly took your food and even killed your people for this. Such behavior It has become unbearable.”

Heinerson, a representative of Scotland, said angrily: “Just because he refused to hand over his food, Murphy brazenly ordered the army to shoot at unarmed Scottish farmers. This is an act of beasts. Today, Scotland has been completely disappointed with England. As long as the empire upholds justice, we Scotland will be independent.”

Hu Chuan smiled with satisfaction. This Heinerson was a coal mine owner and owned the largest coal mine in Scotland.

In the past two years, the coal needed by the empire’s warships has been purchased from his coal mine. After all, it is more cost-effective to get coal from here than long-distance transportation. At the same time, the empire also did this to bribe Senator Heinerson.

Facts have proved that the empire’s bribery was successful, and the interests combined with Scotland’s historical hatred of England solved the problem easily.

Compared to Scotland, Ireland and Wales were relatively weaker, and their independence was more or less frightened by the empire.

After all, for a United Kingdom, it is normal for everyone to fly away when a disaster strikes.

Colander is from Ireland. He looked at the Empire’s mighty battleships with envy. Ireland felt at ease with just this naval strength. He said, “Ambassador Hu Chuan, we are ready and can announce at any time.”

Hu Chuan nodded with a smile. He nodded and looked at Welsh Member of Parliament Kevin.

As he was the only one who did not express his position, Kevin said; “Wales is too weak, please allow us to finally announce this decision.”

Hu Chuan understood Wales very well. Compared with Scotland and Ireland, Wales is indeed small. He said; “In this case, everyone Go back and prepare yourself, declare independence and join the Vienna Entente at the same time, and you will get the benefits you want.”
