Iron Dynasty

"Osman and Persia have had a grievance for thousands of years, and they can be described as endless enemies, and both countries have the ambition to dominate Central Asia."

"It is true, but their conflicts in the past were only small-scale, but this time the problem seems to be a bit serious. It is said that Ottoman has received many advanced firearms from Europe and is training a huge army, and the scale of the conflict is also expanding. ."

Pang Yukun explained.

"Then what do you think? Let the empire send troops to support it?" Xiao Ming wanted to test Pang Yukun on purpose.

Now that the empire mechanism is very mature, he needs everyone to use his talents instead of planning everything himself.

After pondering for a while, Pang Yukun said: "This Ottoman conflict with Persia clearly has the shadow of the West. Although they have lost the war in Asia, they have also chosen to sign an armistice agreement, but they will not give up any opportunity to hinder the growth of the empire."

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, and Pang Yukun's analysis was in place. International relations often cooperate with each other while confronting each other. It will not be a pure friend-friend relationship. The eternal bond is nothing but interest.

For example, in this armistice agreement, he only agreed because the cost of continuing the war was much higher than signing the agreement.

And what he wants has been obtained through agreement, so why bother to obtain it through war.

"But sending troops to help the Persian veterans thought it was inappropriate." Pang Yukun continued: "As the saying goes, the snipe and the clam are competing for the profit of the fishermen. The Ottoman threat to Persia is the fundamental reason why we can easily obtain oil from Persia. Ottoman, Persia will become the overlord of Central Asia, and by then, I am afraid that they will no longer provide us with free oil exploration."

Xiao Ming laughed. In the past, Pang Yukun was not good at internal affairs, but these words are enough to show that he has spent a lot of time in international politics.

"Pang Shoufu deserves to be Pang Shoufu, and I can think of some problems together. European countries think that using Ottoman can weaken Persia and affect our oil exploration, but they never thought that this would only make Persia more dependent on us." Xiao Ming said lightly. .

"So the Ottoman country still needs to exist, but for Persia, we must also provide technical and financial support to maintain the regional balance in Central Asia." Pang Yukun stroked his beard.

"That's it. After you go back, you will organize material support for Persia. Our oil field has just produced oil. I don't want any accident in any oil field." Xiao Ming exhorted.

Pang Yukun responded and turned and left.

When Pang Yukun left, Xiao Ming came to the world map and carefully looked at the territory of the empire.

With the passage of time, his sense of crisis has become more and more serious. Now Xiao Yi is sixteen years old, and he is entering the middle-aged stage of his life. How much time will he have left to guard the empire he has built. ?

His eyes swept across North America, Tsarist Russia, Europe, Africa, South America and other regions, and he sighed slightly.

In the past, he was very confident that he could dominate the world in his lifetime, but now he increasingly finds that he might not be able to achieve this goal.

This world is too complicated, with all kinds of cultures, religions, and races. Some contradictions between them cannot be reconciled. Even in the contemporary world, the origins of conflicts are these three.

So after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to accumulate wealth for the empire as much as the contemporary Western plundering the world during his reign, and leave a life-saving weapon for the empire.

In this way, even if the empire declines, no country dared to invade flagrantly. At the same time, he would try his best to weaken them even if he could not eliminate the Western powers.

He agreed to Henry's condition for this purpose. A chaotic Europe would give the empire the opportunity to extract European wealth.

Looking at Tsarist Russia and North America from Western Europe, Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed. Compared to countries such as Britain and France, he is actually the most taboo against Tsarist Russia and the United States.

Coming from the contemporary era, he naturally knew that once these two countries were given a chance, they would grow into terrifying monsters.

At the same time, he believes that Europe will definitely find a way on these two issues, and he has already seen the British conspiracy to disrupt Central Asia.

But playing a conspiracy with him, this British Queen Victoria is still a little tender. Not to mention that he is from modern times and is used to all kinds of international struggles, but the information in the technology spar is enough to find many similar cases.

His eyes slowly became firm, and Xiao Ming walked out of the Imperial Study Room with his hands on his back. He had a period of confusion after the victory in the Nanyang War.

But now he knew what he was going to do next.

Strategically, he will continue to squeeze the living space of European countries, and financially, he will formally internationalize the imperial golden dragon and become a hard currency circulating in the world like contemporary dollars.

In industry, he must gradually establish a sound industrial system, obtain cheap resources from all over the world, and produce industrial products.

Commercially, he wants to achieve economic colonization of Europe, completely control the European market, and let Europe taste the taste of trading millions of clothes for a car.

But it takes a long way to realize these ideas, because squeezing the living space of Europe means that it may continue to conflict with European countries.

For Golden Dragon to become a world currency, it must have a huge gold reserve or control the currency used for oil settlement like the contemporary United States.

As for industry and commerce, Europe will not just let it slaughter its own market so easily. In the future, I am afraid that some technology will be exchanged for the market.

He was thinking, at this time the phone in the Imperial Study Room rang.

Turning back to connect to the phone~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Lin Wentao’s voice came, "The emperor, the first tank of the tank factory is officially off the assembly line, and the officer is hereby ordered to report to the emperor."

"Well, I will be there now." Xiao Ming showed a faint smile.

Generally speaking, if a country can produce cars, there is basically no problem in producing tanks, so when the first car with internal combustion engine is produced, he asked to build a military factory to produce tanks.

Facts proved that he was right. After more than a year of preparation, the first tank was successfully rolled off the assembly line.

He greeted Qian Dafu, and Xiao Ming informed his special car to come and take him to the tank factory.

Since having a car, his travel safety has improved a lot, and the fast speed of the car also allows him to easily go anywhere.

Therefore, his travel frequency has increased a lot during this period, which is good for him, but for some officials, it seems like a testimony.

Because sometimes he would deal with a large number of officials when he came suddenly on government affairs inspections, which made the officials frightened one by one. The officials around Qingzhou didn't dare to be careless, for fear of being attacked by the emperor.
