Chapter 356 God, what did Li Mo do?

In front of the luxurious Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, General Alexe Kuropatkin, the Russian Minister of the Army, looked at the statue of the Atlas giant god standing in front of the palace, and there seemed to be something difficult to decide.

This scene attracted the attention of the bodyguard commander and the guards, but no one dared to disturb him, because General Kuropatkin didn't like others to disturb him at will. It is said that there was an eye-opening colonel last time who was finally assigned to Siberia because he interrupted his conversation with the wind's Olfi Asia-Pacific. Now A place called Yili trembled.

That's not a good idea. What's more, His Majesty the Great Tsar did not prohibit the minister from stopping in front of the Winter Palace, so everyone hid far away for fear of offending the Minister of the Army and being sent to the Far East on a mission.

"Who is that? Why let him hang out in front of the Winter Palace?

As soon as the guards returned, Valk, the court piano lecturer, came out. The bodyguard quickly made a forbidden gesture and whispered, "Mr. Valk, that's the Minister of the Army."

"Oh."

Walker nodded, thought for a while and then walked to Kuropatkin. The bodyguard originally wanted to stop him, but when he got to his mouth, he still stopped, because this guy was not a good thing. After being the queen piano teacher, he ran rampant in St. Petersburg, accumulating wealth and cheating people. He was a bastard who did all kinds of evil, but this guy understood. Music!

"I hate music!" The bodyguard looked at Valk's background and muttered in the sneer of the soldiers to inspect somewhere else.

"Dear Count Kuropatkin, I wonder if there is anything I can ask Valk to help you?" Valk squinted and walked to Kuropatkin. He knew the energy of the army minister. If he could catch this line, it would be a lifetime of glory and wealth.

"It turned out to be Lecturer Valk."

Kuropatkin has heard of Valk's notoriety. He didn't want to talk to this guy, but the information in his hand was too tricky. At the beginning, it was he who suggested to transfer troops from Central Asia and West Asia to Ili, and it was also he who implemented the plan. Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to consume Xinhua and coveted the huge Far East land. Now this The plan brought serious consequences. Li Mo unexpectedly mobilized three divisions to enter the northern border. Even Vladivostok and Yekaterinaburg were under threat, not to mention that once they entered the 60,000 troops in Xinjiang Province, if they were freed up, I'm afraid that the whole Central Asia would become Xinhua. A vassal!

If you hand these messages directly to His Majesty, I'm afraid it's not as simple as scolding. It's hard to say whether he will be directly dismissed by His Majesty!

So after seeing Valk, he immediately turned his eyes and flattered him, "Mr. Valk, there is a little trouble. Recently, there have been some problems in the Far East. Damn Xinhua began to covet the Siberian region of our country and sent troops!"

"Damn it, these damn things are me!" Valk spit excitedly and cursed. He didn't know that Kuropatkin's face was green. When did Xinhua become himself? It's okay if this guy doesn't learn or have no skills. He doesn't even understand the country. Is it a mistake to find him?

"Mr. Valk, Xinhua is not Japanese, but Chinese."

"China!" Valk's eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief: "Is it the Chinese branch where everyone has a pig's tail? How can they threaten the great Russian Empire?

"How do I know!" Kuropatkin took a contemptuous look and said to himself. He didn't expect why in just a few years, the Far East, which trembled in front of Russia, dared to play a backhand slap in the face. What kind of aneity did Li Mo put on that land?!

But it doesn't matter. What matters is how to give this information to His Majesty Nicholas II, and he will not let himself bear anger and guilt.

"It's very simple." Valk saw through Kuropatkin's thoughts and tilted the corners of his mouth: "Your Excellency, the Far East Military Region is really rotten. They have failed the trust of His Majesty the Emperor and let the Xinhua army enter the border to threaten the great Russian Empire. I think you can suggest that Your Majesty the Emperor immediately send important ministers to investigate thoroughly."

Valk's few words immediately made Kuropatkin understand why he had to stand up to this crime? You should know that his Far East plan is very perfect, but those damn bureaucrats don't understand the specific implementation, which has led to retaliation, so we must strictly investigate the responsibilities of the Far East Military Region and the Central Asian and West Asian Military Region!

This is called pusher. I heard that there is a martial art called Tai Chi in the Far East, and there is this kind of move.

After thinking of a way, Kuropatkin was also much more relaxed. He immediately introduced the Valk lecturer as a confidant. When he talked a few words about to invite the other party to dinner, there was a rapid sound of horses' hoofs behind him.

Turning his head, he saw his sworn enemy. Grand Duke Alexa Alexandrovich, the Minister of the Navy, rushed in anxiously. He quickly stopped his arms and laughed and said, "Dear Grand Duke, have you forgotten your courtesy? The footsteps are so heavy, don't you know that His Majesty is taking a lunch break?

"What a bullshit during lunch break!"

He was in a hurry and was stopped by his enemies. Grand Dukeovich's face turned green, but the matter was too urgent, so he didn't have time to quarrel. He opened his arm and walked to the palace. The curious Kuropatkin also quickly left Walk and chased him into the palace.

It was not until the two left one after another that Valk suddenly remembered that Kuropatkin had not even said thank you. He was so angry that he spat fiercely that he walked out of the palace door in the gloating eyes of the guards--

"Is this true?!"

In the building of the German Admiralty, Tirpitz's exclamations resounded throughout the building. The staff and officers in the corridor subconsciously looked at the closed conference room door. They didn't understand what had happened, which would make the Admiralty minister, who was leading the revival of the German navy, so excited.

In the conference room, in addition to Tirpitz, there were several other important generals of the Admiralty, each of whom was shocked by the news that had just been sent back.

A new battleship equipped with ten 305mm heavy guns can have a maximum of eight firepower at a time. Since all ten guns are installed on one hull, the caliber and barrel length of the gun are completely unified, so the trajectory and landing point are very easy to calculate, which can achieve real volley, and the combat efficiency has been Beyond the one plus one mode, according to Colonel Hiper, who is coming back with him, its efficiency will be 2.5 times, or even three times that of rebuilding a German-class battleship!

That is to say, even if Germany has built five German-class battleships, it can only fight against two such new battleships. According to the exercise described by Hippel, this battleship has gone through at least a year of experiments and has fully met the standard of cruise service, such as Go Limo began to build a large number of such battleships, and I'm afraid Britain will have to seriously consider the crisis from the sea.

All of the people present are senior naval officials and experts in giant ship cannons. They all know very well how difficult it is to install ten 305mm naval guns into a 20,000-ton hull. In order to install three double heavy guns, the Brandenburg class finally had to shorten the body of the middle because of the hull structure, which made It can't be a real shot.

And after the emergence of the Jinghai class, Germany actually carefully studied the structure of this cruiser. Although it successfully broke through the backpack technology, it also considered to equip four double 280mm naval guns in this way, but in the end, it had to give up because it could not solve the backs.

According to intelligence, Britain, France, the United States and other countries have also failed to make a satisfactory breakthrough in this key technology, so all countries have to continue to build two-level main artillery battleships similar to the Duke-class, but no one expected that Li Mo took the lead in solving this big problem that plagued the world navy, and also show off its power. I'm going to drive it to Europe.

Is he confident? Or do you want to declare that Xinhua has really stepped into a naval power?

Tirpitz paced repeatedly and glanced at the people present over and over again. The telegram in his hand was like a weight. He must make a decision and fully consider the relationship with Xinhua!

He knew very well that although Hipel saw the French [***] official board the battleship with his own eyes, it is almost unlikely that Li Mo will use it in exchange for supporting him to recover the southeastern provinces. Although France's interests are in Vietnam, if the New Chinese army is allowed to push its power to Yungui, I'm afraid they will have to consider that Vietnam being completely swallowed up. And the danger.

Osmann, Italy and Austria-Hungary are also available for sale, but they lack the ambition to form a large navy. To put it bluntly, they are unlikely to sell it at a good price. With Li Mo's surname, they will never sell it to them as a last resort!

Russia and the United States are even more unlikely, and it is impossible for Li Mo to sell it to any Pacific coasting country to threaten himself. As for Britain, the surname may also be very low, because after the British's wrong support, the relationship between Xinhua and Britain has been in a cold confrontation. Not long ago, a small conflict broke out in the East Indies of the Netherlands. If it hadn't been for the drag of Bull, it would have been for the battle there!

But it's strange that although Bull has restrained most of Britain's energy, he will not let Phillipman be tied up! Do you mean?

Tirpitz's eyes lit up. Could it be that Li Mo dispatched this battleship at that time, which made Felitman have scruples? If that's the case, why did Phillyteman suddenly change his position in support of the Netherlands?

Damn it!

Thinking of this, he shrank sharply. If so, the British should have known the existence of this battleship earlier than Germany!

Although Britain and Li Mo are hostile to each other, because of the cliff of the Phillyteman, it is far from reaching the moment of the outbreak of war, so if they are willing to give up their posture and give up some Far East interests, such as supporting Xinhua reunification, then I'm afraid Li Mo can't stop such a big **!

If Britain takes the lead in obtaining that technology, it will be a huge disaster for the German navy, because it will cause all the battleships that are currently in service in Germany, or even rebuilt, to become scrap iron!

"An agreement must be reached before Li Mo's visit to the UK!"

Tirpitz took a deep breath: "I'm going to see His Majesty the Emperor now. You are ready to welcome Li Mo immediately." Speaking of this, he looked around the audience and said heavily.

"We need those technologies!" After saying that, he immediately walked out of the conference room, but as soon as the door was opened, the intelligence officer suddenly bumped into his arms.

"Sir, I think you should take a look at this immediately."

After the intelligence officer handed over the documents, Tirpitz just glanced twice, and his face suddenly became solemn.

Is Tsar Nicholas II crazy?! He actually ordered the mobilized of 100,000 troops to Central Asia and Eastern Siberia respectively. At the same time, he had begun to recruit at least 50,000 Cossack cavalry and prepared to recruit 200,000 infantry in the two places!

At the same time, the Russian navy has also begun to be on alert. It is said that Admiralovich has even ordered to immediately prepare for war in the Far East!

God, what on earth did Li Mo do?!
