Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1199

[Chapter 1185 In person]

France in person.

News of Prussia’s surrender had reached here.

In a basement in Paris, Henry closed his eyes in despair after hearing the news.

Now it seems that only France is left to resist alone on the European continent, but he knows very well that this is just self-comfort.

In fact, France was now in tatters, its armies beaten to pieces by the Allies in Vienna.

This strategy of breaking things into pieces caused him to lose contact with many commanders.

He didn’t know where these officers were or what they were doing. Surrender? Or resistance?

While he was thinking, there was a sudden explosion on the ground. It was just something that Paris would experience every day now.

Imperial bombers would bomb important areas of Paris once a day.

He knew the Empire’s armies were looking for him and out to destroy it.

“Your Majesty, do we still want to persist? The cities in France have been bombed to pieces by the empire. If the attack continues, we will return to the Stone Age.”

An officer said to Henry.

Another officer said: “More and more officers have lost contact with us. Our army has disintegrated, and we have heard that after the defeat, Spain, Portugal, Britain, and Prussia will all send troops into France to join the Allies in Vienna. Clear us out.”

The atmosphere in the basement suddenly became dark.

This news is undoubtedly frustrating. The reason why they persist until now is to wait for news of victory on other battlefields.

The members of the Allies now in St. Petersburg were not only defeated but also preparing to turn against their former partners.

It is difficult for them to imagine how France can resist so many powerful countries now.

Henry sat slumped, and the military uniform on his body was old and dirty, as if it hadn’t been washed for months.

His desperate situation made him too lazy to care about his personal image.

Looking at the silent Henry, the officers looked at each other and left the basement one after another.

Back on the ground, an officer said: “You have all seen that he is still stupidly insisting. We can no longer accompany him to take risks.”

In the past, these officers followed Henry fanatically because Henry could give They bring power and profit.

But now that Henry is leading them to destruction, they have to think about it.

After exchanging glances, the officers seemed to have reached a tacit understanding.

But at this moment, they suddenly heard a gunshot from the basement.

Everyone showed shocked eyes, and they returned to the basement one after another.

In the dim light of the basement, they found Henry leaning against the wall, holding a short-barreled musket in his right hand and blood flowing from his temple.

Henry committed suicide!

The officers felt a sense of sadness, but there was also a secret joy in their hearts. Now they could openly declare their surrender.

Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming received the news of Henry’s suicide on the 40th day after the war in Europe ended.

The provisionally formed French government announced its surrender.

This meant that the last nation in the St. Petersburg Convention was defeated.

Before that, he had learned that Britain, Portugal, Spain, Prussia, and Tsarist Russia had surrendered.

“It’s time to leave for Europe.” Xiao Ming handed the news to Pang Yukun, looking a little excited.

“Hahaha, after these years of fighting, the empire’s efforts have not been in vain. Now Europeans should understand who is the strongest country in the world.” Pang Yukun said happily.

Xiao Ming nodded, this war will make Europeans lower their arrogant heads.

White supremacy will be shattered.

Reality will tell them that as long as they learn knowledge, any race can become a civilized race. Their advantage is only based on mastering advanced scientific knowledge before others.

rather than their racial superiority.

“The outcome of the war will make this clear to them. The internal affairs of the empire will be left to you during my trip to Europe,” Xiao Ming said.

“It’s the emperor.” Pang Yukun said. He wanted to follow Xiao Ming to Europe, but someone also needed to handle the domestic government affairs.

After making a plan to go to Europe, Xiao Ming asked Pang Yukun to go back and prepare the people who would follow him to Europe this time.

After Pang Yukun left, Xiao Ming came to the world map in the imperial study room.

At this time he pressed the last mark on the map of France, which meant that the world war was over.

Looking at the map full of marks, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a sense of loneliness. At this time, he found that he had a lifelong mentality of seeking defeat just like the lonely begging for defeat in the novel.

However, this mentality was quickly suppressed by him, because he understood that governing a country is not about fighting. Although the empire has now become the world’s hegemon, a country’s national destiny cannot only focus on the present without looking into the future.

Currently he is leading the empire towards nothing more than technological victory.

But just as he mocked white people, as long as a race is willing to learn technology, the technological gap will always be smoothed out.

So in addition to technological victory, what he also needs to accomplish is cultural victory.

If one day the whole world recognizes the empire’s culture, is proud to live in the empire, and is proud to speak the empire’s language, then the empire will be considered a true overlord.

After all, scientific and technological victory is just defeating the enemy with fists, while cultural victory is conquering the hearts of other people.

Therefore, in Xiao Ming’s view, what will follow the conquest of Europe by force is the invasion of culture, which will transform Europe both physically and mentally.

Three days later, Xiao Ming arrived at the airport outside Qingzhou City.

Parked here is an Imperial-made transport plane.

He will take this plane to Europe.

The empire now had aircraft hubs all over the roads leading to Europe.

Obviously, using an airplane takes much less time than taking a ship.

Moreover, in order to ensure the safety of flight, Lin Wentao personally supervised the manufacturing of this aircraft. The most advanced materials used in the empire are used on the aircraft, which ensures the safety of this aircraft.

In addition, he also underwent specialized skydiving training to ensure safety.

At the same time, this transport plane is accompanied by other planes. Even if something goes wrong with the transport plane, he can still take other planes to return.

“Your Majesty, after the inspection is completed, the plane can take off.” Lin Wentao said.

Xiao Ming nodded, looked back at the officials who followed him to Europe, and motioned for them to board the plane.

Pang Yukun, Fei Yaoer and others saw him off at the airport. It will take a month for Xiao Ming to go to Europe this time.

Before this, Xiao Ming had never left the empire for such a long time.

In order to ensure the stability of the empire, in addition to Pang Yukun staying, he also made arrangements for the army and strictly ordered the army to make any moves during his visit.

After all, the empire is stable and does not need to send out troops to do anything.
