Conquer a country in 30 days?
Is this possible?
If traditional warfare were used, this would have almost no chance. However, in the past few decades, whether it was the "Surprise Attack on Santiago" or the Surprise Attack on Peru, the Ming Dynasty had used surprise attacks time and again to tell the world that this was not only possible, but also realistic.
As long as you are brave enough, the rewards will definitely be big enough.
The Ming Empire was like Pizarro who once rushed into the Inca capital and kidnapped the king. They set an example for the whole world with their surprise attacks time and time again.
Watch...and learn. I'll only demonstrate this once.
Well, Johnson admitted that he had seen it and was trying to learn. He was born in a military family. Before he was 28, he was an officer in the Royal Army. A few years ago, he joined this company. Like many people, he longed for wealth and success. However, he was born in a military family and did not know how to do business like other people. But unlike ordinary businessmen, he was good at fighting.
Having witnessed the Transvaal government's heavy taxes and the company's resentment over the past few years, Johnson knew his chance had come.
Now, the facts prove this.
Mr. Rhodes agreed to his plan. What did that mean?
So he lay in bed, smoking a few more cigarettes, and was very eager to know when Mr. Rhodes was going to implement his plan.
Johnson didn't fall asleep until 1 a.m. He finally sat up from the bed and poured himself another glass of brandy. Then he turned to the prices and timetable in the report, which were typed on separate pages.
The attached table reads:
The commander who will carry out the plan will receive a salary of £10,000.
Cost of hiring 1,500 mercenaries and salaries of £50,000
Purchase weapons for £50,000
Purchase of boat for £50,000
…
Total £200,000
The second page is a time estimate sheet:
Preparation stage: Recruiting and organizing personnel (mining company police and black mercenaries) 25 days
Purchase phase: Purchase all supplies. 15 days
Organization phase: Organize weapons and personnel to go north until the day of action. 5 days
Johnson read the report twice. He smoked his pipe for a long time, staring at the map in front of him. He knew that his life and his future were all in this plan. As long as the plan was successfully implemented, he would become a hero of the entire company and even the entire Cape Colony!
Finally, he locked the report in the drawer and went back to bed.
…
Just as the situation in southern Africa was accelerating according to Emperor Zhu's wishes, Emperor Zhu had already boarded the airship to Paris. The flight from Zhongdu to Paris is the longest route in the world - almost six years ago, the Ming Empire Airlines opened the first round-trip route between Zhongdu and Paris. Although many commercial airship routes have been opened in Ming and Europe in the past few years, the route of nearly 10,000 kilometers is indeed the longest in the world.
The entire voyage takes up to eighty to ninety hours...
Even Emperor Zhu's royal airship was not that fast, but it was indeed much faster than in the past.
The noise in the airship is very loud, but you get used to it. Emperor Zhu, who is sitting in the airship, occasionally looks out the window.
Through the porthole, you can clearly see the boundary between the sea and the land. The green area on the coast is the mangrove swamp on the coast. The coastline in the northern region of the empire is full of swamps covered with mangroves.
Soon, the airship would pass over the empire, into the Atlantic Ocean, then to Guinea, and finally to Paris... In more than eighty hours, Eugenie would be able to be seen.
How long has it been since I last saw her?
"I really don't know how to start the conversation after I see her."
While Emperor Zhu was thinking silently in his heart, a woman's voice was heard beside him.
"Your Majesty, you should know that I have not been to Paris for a long time."
Maria, the former Queen of the French Empire, sat beside him, her head resting lightly on his shoulder.
"I don't know whether it is right to go back this time or not... After all, our child..."
As she spoke, her eyes turned to her daughter who was sleeping on the soft chair beside her. She was the daughter of her and the man next to her. When she looked at her daughter, her eyes were full of love.
"Don't worry, I'm here for you..."
Emperor Zhu patted her hands gently. In the past few years, she had been in Ming Dynasty, not only traveling, but also... gave birth to a child for him.
Is now the time to tell her the news?
After thinking about it, Emperor Zhu did not tell her immediately. After all, this matter was of great importance, so he had to tell him in front of Eugene.
The huge airship was slowly flying over the empire's homeland.
…
In Paris, as early as when Eugenie received the telegram about Emperor Jules's visit, her calm heart inevitably became a little excited. After all, he was the only man she had ever loved.
Even though they had few opportunities to get together over the years, but... that was precisely why she was so excited. Even though they were no longer young, their love was still there.
He is here!
After learning that the airship he was on had taken off, she began to make careful preparations. In addition to ordering people to clean up the rooms in the palace, she also specially put on new clothes designed for her by the designer. Even now, she is still the godmother of fashion in Europe.
Looking at her wrinkled face in the mirror, Eugenie couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Why,"
After a long sigh, she pursed her lips, and then a strange look flashed across her face.
"I don't know if she will come with us."
The "she" that Eugenie mentioned was none other than Eugene's wife Maria. Deep down in her heart, she was jealous of her, not only because she became his lover, but more importantly...she could actually stay by his side all the time.
In fact, if it weren't for Eugene's death, perhaps she would have stayed in Ming Dynasty and stayed by his side in the name of traveling, just like she and Sissi. Perhaps she would have been as happy as them.
But in this world, many things are always unsatisfactory. Just when she thought she could stay by his side and live with him forever, Eugene's death changed everything. She had to return to Paris and help young Judy wear her crown. As for her true love, it was no longer important.
From that day on, she was the Queen Mother of the French Empire, and all she had to guard was the French Empire and her son's crown.
It was from that day that she was no longer Eugenie...
