    "Money is not a problem, and what can be solved with money is not a problem!" Liu Chang answered Demons generously: "The problem is how to get this thing done! Demons, I will have someone prepare 50,000 pounds for you immediately.  If you need more money, I will help you find a way, you have to go back to Europe!"

    If you want to support the Polish revolution, it is impossible to stay in Shanghai. Now Demons is an almost usable candidate in Liu Chang's hands, so Demons just hesitated: "My business in Shanghai?"

    "No problem!" Liu Chang told Demens that everything can be assured: "I will help you take care of them!"

    As long as Liu Chang's words were enough, Demens said carefully: "This is what you promised. I have a business of several million silver dollars in Shanghai. I have suffered a big loss this time when I return to Europe. You will give me 50,000 yuan."  Just give me the pounds and I'll advance the rest"

    He has already drawn his blueprint on the table: "If I want to smuggle arms, I will find a clipper. It will run faster than any Russian anti-smuggling ship. Of course, the steamship is an exception, but it is difficult for me to choose some steamships."  When entering the sea area for trading, the scale of a transaction does not need to be large, that is, dozens of revolvers, or a dozen barrels of gunpowder, or some shortened rifles or lances are enough!"

    Although the load capacity of such a fast sailing ship is not optimistic, it is very convenient to transport these easily transported arms. It can even transport hundreds of revolvers, lances or other firearms at one time, but Liu Chang is very  Kuai made his own suggestion: "Use the revolver as little as possible, it consumes too much money!"

    "No! A batch of revolvers must be transported in for the first transportation. This makes the Russians nervous, and this alone is enough!"

    Demons is more familiar than Liu Chang that Poland is a powder keg, and it can explode with just a spark - even if the Russians are implementing an unprecedented loose policy in Poland.  But everyone knows that if such a policy has a slight backlash, it will trigger extremely powerful suppression.

    Those Poles have extraordinary self-confidence.  They thought that they had fed the whole of Russia with their own strength, so the whole of Russia should revolve around Poland. They responded to the Tsar's message with a poisoned dagger: "Although you think that we support the Polish revolution, I am a  As an arms dealer, I hope to make as much money as possible, so turning Mars into a prairie fire is what I like to do!"

    ¡°A successful arms dealer should provoke a war, and then maintain a balance between the two sides of the war as much as possible, making the war last longer and maximizing profits as much as possible!¡±

    Liu Chang finally smiled after listening to what Demens had to say: "What a great idea. I have to admit that I am lucky to know you. By the way, pick a good manager to take care of your business. You  Time is running out!¡±

    "Let Your Excellency Lusiya help me!" Demons quickly thought of the candidate for the manager: "But I'm afraid I need your Majesty to say hello. Otherwise, Your Excellency Lusiya will not be overly merciful!"

    "Lusiya?" Liu Chang was surprised: "Your choice is really unexpected!"

    Demons smiled: "Because the person who knows you best is your opponent, I have confidence in my vision!"

    This sentence was enough, and Liu Chang agreed: "Demmons, please go to your business. I will also take good care of Lusiya!"

    The meaning in his words naturally prevented Lusiya from making any tricks when handling Demens's business. Demens smiled: "When I was most free, I was driving a clipper on the sea, transporting tons of goods.  The arms are delivered to the warlords. Thank you for giving me another opportunity to experience this kind of freedom and sunshine. I hope that the flames of war in Poland will spread throughout Russia!"

    ¡°It¡¯s burning all over Russia!¡± Liu Chang smiled: ¡°As long as the wildfire burns across the plains, I don¡¯t care what happens in the future. Let¡¯s have a drink!¡±

    "Have a drink!"

    Regarding the arms assistance operation planned by Liu Chang and Demons, the future Polish interim government gave a very high evaluation: "In the war against violent Russia, we received great assistance from international friends, such as the Chinese people and their most recent  The great king provided 6,275 rifles, 875 pistols, 38 cannons, 950 barrels of gunpowder, and a large amount of other war materials to the Polish Anti-Russian Army. This batch of materials played a key role in our early Anti-Russian War.  role.¡±

    However, during the conflict between China and Poland, the Polish side claimed that Demons was a black-hearted profiteer: "The pseudo-Chinese government and the unscrupulous arms dealer Demons superficially supported Polish independence and freedom, but in fact they cooperated with Czarist Russia to suppress Poland.  The massacre of the people, for example, the rebel army asked Demon??Provided 15,000 rifles, but Demons only provided 1,200, and all of them were retired percussion guns, but they asked us for the price of new guns. Although they were criticized by the uprising generals, Demons only intensified in disguise!  "

    China's statement is completely different: "Our support for the Polish revolution is selfless. All arms transportation is carried out in extremely dangerous conditions. Almost all arms are only charged at cost, and sometimes they are even given away free of charge.  Poland's independence and freedom are the inevitable results of our support. We must ruthlessly criticize the ungrateful Polish government, but we must fight for the Polish people!"

    Contemporary war historians such as Wu Hongchuan and Bai Siwen also have different views. They believe that this arms assistance was not Liu Thief's original intention, but the natural choice of some knowledgeable people in the rebel army. However, Liu Thief was greedy.  The power of heaven is to forcefully take possession of all the achievements.

    It¡¯s just that what Demons and Liu Chang think about now is just to let the wildfire burn. They never thought about the impact their actions will have on European history: "This wine is good! I am honored!"

    Demens knew that Liu Chang usually did not drink. It was a great honor to have a small drink with him now. Therefore, he felt elated: "Your Majesty, I have another suggestion. Are you willing?"  Are you willing to listen?"

    "Say it!" Liu Chang said in an obedient manner: "I can grant you another twenty thousand pounds!"

    "Thank you!" Demons said softly: "Osman!"

    Liu Chang immediately patted his thigh and shouted loudly: "Count Demons, what do you need?"

    "Nothing is needed, just a letter of authorization from you is enough!" Demons's mouth was wide open: "I am better than 300,000 soldiers!"

    ¡°If I can convince the Ottoman Empire, then I can make the decision to hand over China¡¯s most important railway to you!¡±

    "This is true!"

    "No lies!"

    Both Demens and Liu Chang became excited. Demens opened the wine cabinet for Liu Chang without asking for permission, and took out the bottle of sweet and cloying wine: "Let's have another glass!"

    "Continued Cup!"

    Liu Chang was also unexpectedly happy: "Yes, it's the Ottoman Empire!"

    He felt that he was blind because he had forgotten the Ottoman Empire, the world enemy of Tsarist Russia.

    The Russo-Turkish War can be said to be the longest war in the modern history of the entire world. Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire have had a feeling of old enemies since their establishment. The Ottomans captured Byzantium and renamed it Constantinople.  , and Tsarist Russia regarded itself as the successor of Byzantium and New Rome. However, at the beginning, the two sides had no direct contact until the first Russo-Turkish War in 1676.

    The Russo-Turkish War can be said to be the main theme between these two powerful countries. From 1676 to 1859, in less than two hundred years, nine Russo-Turkish wars have been fought. In each Russo-Turkish war, both sides invested the entire nation.  , sometimes the number of participating troops on both sides even exceeded one million, and the fighting continued until both sides had to stop. On average, there was a Russian-Turkish war once every twenty years.

    Especially for half a century, Russia and the Ottoman Empire have been fighting each other with bloodshed. Not to mention the Sixth Russo-Turkish War in 1792, the Sixth Russo-Turkish War broke out from 1806 to 1812, which lasted for six years.  The Turkish-Turkish War was the eighth Russo-Turkish War from 1828 to 1829, and the just-ended Crimea was the ninth Russo-Turkish War.

    I have to admit that in these contests with the Ottoman Empire, the Russians had the upper hand. In the early days of the Crimean War, they even completely suppressed the Turks and gained the upper hand in the strategic situation. However, the Ottoman Empire in the Middle Ages was not like the Qing Dynasty.  Even though he was so conservative and conceding, he also had an elite but small Guards force, and the weapons equipped by this force basically maintained the Western level of the same era. Every Russian-Turkish war would cause Russia unbearable pain.

    Just like the next Russo-Turkish War, that is, the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878, although Russia successfully won, the price paid by the Russians in several fortified positions cannot even be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood. The achievement of rapid-fire rifles  The prestige has promoted another change of rifles all over the world.

    The last Russo-Turkish war, the eleventh Russo-Turkish war, was the First World War. These two centuries-old enemies fought another bloody battle in the Caucasus Mountains, and finally ended with Turkey  It ended with seizing the Caucasus Mountains and marching into the southern Russian grasslands. However, the outcome of this Russian-Turkish war was that the two oldest and most extensive empires in the world perished together.

    But Liu Chang also knows one thing. Now that the war in Crimea has just come to an end, although the Ottoman Empire is the last resort in this war,Victory, but its army suffered a heavy blow, and the entire country was burdened. It was not easy to mobilize the Ottoman Empire to send troops.

    In this matter, he cannot place his hope on Demons alone.
