    Hot Spring Palace, Xiaochun Garden.  This is a huge glass greenhouse located in the imperial garden of the Hot Spring Palace.  The outside of the conservatory is covered in silver, but inside the conservatory is full of spring.  The flowers are red, the leaves are green, and there are a few unknown birds chirping on the tender red branches. They are so happy that they have no idea that they are already birds in a cage.  Zhu Jishi was walking among the vegetation. Although he was over eighty years old, he still had a strong body and did not need the help of crutches, let alone anyone to support him.  However, time still mercilessly eroded the body of the Supreme Emperor.  Just look at the majority of the maids and waiters who follow Zhu Jishi, Lao Zhuhuang, and you will know - of course, only a large number of them And in the past two years, Zhu Jishi has not only become less interested in women, but also less interested in politics than before, most of them  I put my energy into the mountains and rivers, traveling around the world, or playing with my own garden, and I really enjoyed it.  Looking at the garden full of colorful flowers, green grass and clear water, Zhu Jishi also felt happy and his steps became much more brisk.  Zhu Guoxiong, the Emperor of Heaven, followed closely beside him.  He came from the Forbidden City after learning about Mathilde's death. Although Mathilde was not Zhu Jishi's concubine, everyone knew that this woman had some weight in Zhu Jishi's mind.  Seeing Zhu Jishi's good intentions, the emperor felt relieved and asked tentatively: "Father, do you want to make Mathilde the emperor and empress?" "Nonsense!" Zhu Jishi turned around and looked at his son.  With a glance, "Don't you know the rules of the Roman Catholic Church? If Mathilde believed in Mormonism, I would have made her the Queen." Zhu Guoxiong nodded respectfully.  He was just making a gesture.  It¡¯s not really about chasing Mathilde.  "Father, the telegram from the King of Mexico asked who is going to be sent to attend the funeral on your behalf?" "I will go to Matilde's funeralin person!" Zhu Jishi said, sighing softly, "Already  I haven¡¯t seen him for more than 20 years, but I didn¡¯t expect that we would be separated forever.¡± Zhu Guoxiong knew that Zhu Jishi wanted to meet Zhu Juan, and he might also discuss the future of the Kingdom of Mexico and the Western Roman Empire with Juan.  Zhu Guoxiong thought for a moment and then said: "Father, why don't you let Bangan and Alexandra accompany you to Mexico? It would be nice to have someone to take care of you on the way." Zhu Bangan is his eldest son, and his biological mother is from the Tokugawa family.  The concubine is now the royal concubine.  And Alexandra, the former Russian Empress who was "defeated" by Nechayev and now the Queen of the Kingdom of Siberia, married Zhu Bangan two years ago.  However, after marriage, Queen Alexandra and her husband have been living in the bustling and bustling Yingtian. This young and beautiful Russian woman was completely fascinated by the big city of Yingtian and refused to go back to Tyumen in Siberia.  "Alexandra is the queenit doesn't matter over there in Tyumen, right?" "It's okay, with Stolypin in charge, nothing will happen to the Kingdom of Siberia. After all, people's hearts are there." , Political aspects  The talent is very outstanding.  A vast and sparsely populated country is managed in an orderly manner. The most important thing is that the people's livelihood in the Siberian Kingdom is much better than that of the Slavic Union.  during these years.  Every year, tens of thousands of Russians flee from the Ural Mountains to the territory of the Kingdom of Siberia, which has greatly educated the white people in Siberia "People's hearts? Aren't you worried about the Red Army of the Slavic Alliance coming over? The people of the Slavic Alliance are not suffering at all.  It¡¯s free, this country has become stronger!¡± The Kingdom of Siberia has a rich people and a weak country, while the Slavic Union has a poor people and a strong country.  Industry, especially heavy industry related to the military industry, is developing abnormally, and the country is constantly preparing for war, and it is clear that it is going to war.  "Even if Nechayev wants to go to war, he will not pick Siberia to strike first." Zhu Guoxiong said, "Siberia is a bad war from the beginning. It will not be over in a few years. The Slavic Alliance cannot afford to delay it." Zhu Jishi At this time  He had already reached a small Western-style round table, and a maid had set up chairs for him and Zhu Guoxiong. The father and son sat opposite each other, and someone brought two cups of tea.  Picking up the tea cup and taking a sip to moisten his throat, Zhu Jishi said: "Xiong'er, I heard that the people are not willing to fight now?"  "The reasons why people don't want to fight are very complicated, and people's peace of mind is just a clich¨¦.  Although Zhu Jishi is old, he is definitely not confused.  The outbreak of a world war is inevitable. Countries that gained a lot from the last world war certainly don¡¯t want to fight, but countries that are red-eyed and hungry after losing have been sharpening their knives for more than 20 years. They will not do it because of China.  If people don't want to fight, they won't fight.  "The trees want to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. We, the billions of Chinese people, are unwilling to fight, but you, the emperor, have to make preparations." ""I know," Zhu Guoxiong took a sip of tea and replied, "The Ming Dynasty and the countries of Greater China have been preparing for more than 20 years. Now, let alone being perfect, there is always a 90% chance of winning!  " "What are the chances of winning?  "Zhu Jishi asked calmly. "First of all, of course, industry. More than 20 years ago, Ming Dynasty was the most industrially powerful country in the world. Now, Ming Dynasty's industry has an overwhelming advantage over any great power, even against half of the world.  No more falling behind.  " Zhu Guoxiong is only talking about the Ming Dynasty, a superpower with a population of 700 million and more than 20 million square kilometers. If you include the industries of other Greater China countries, it will overwhelm the industries of the other half of the world, at least in terms of scale.  It¡¯s just that the war is not simply about the size of the industry. Countries with smaller industrial scales are not without the power to fight. Otherwise, the Japanese Empire in another time and space would not attack Pearl Harbor. Zhu Guoxiong continued to say to his father: "  Next is the preparation of the navy and army.  The total tonnage of the Ming Dynasty's navy is the largest in the world, exceeding that of Rome and Germany combined.  The Xuanwu-class battleship under construction has a no-load displacement of up to 43,000 tons and a full-load displacement of more than 50,000 tons. It is equipped with three triple-mounted 410mm main guns and has a maximum speed of up to 28 knots. It is the most powerful battleship in the world!  The original plan was to build 4 ships, but now we are planning to add 4 more ships.  Our army in Greater China is also the strongest in the world, with a standing strength of more than 5 million, and it can mobilize more than 10 million at any time.  In addition, our Greater China Empire also has several very powerful secret weapons, including armored combat vehicles and aircraft, as well as aircraft carriers specially used to carry aircraft, and airships used for rapid deployment of troops" It can be said in the past 20 years  It¡¯s 20 years of global war preparation! The development and production of secret weapons are the top priority of all countries¡¯ war preparations. The Ming Empire, which has initially established its hegemony around the world, will naturally not ignore the development of advanced weapons.  Zhu Yisha's golden fingers - including armored combat vehicles, aircraft and aircraft carriers, as well as the most top-secret atomic bomb projects in progress, are all invisible Zhu's golden fingers that quietly point the way. Of course, there are also some Zhu Jishijin.  Secret weapons outside the finger have been developed. For example, airships have become a hot topic now - because in the last world war, the biggest difficulty encountered by the Greater China Empire was to quickly deploy troops to North America, although the scale of sea transportation could be large.  , but the speed is a bit slow after all. If you can use a large airship to fly to North America along the westerly belt, it can theoretically save 90% of the time compared to sea transportation. Therefore, the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty began to study the manufacturing of transshipments as early as before World War I.  The possibility of foreign airships. After the first practical internal combustion engine appeared, the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty immediately invested heavily in the research and development of large-scale airships. By the end of 1899, more than a dozen models of large and small airships had been developed, the largest and latest.  The model is the Nanhai, which was completed in June 1898. It has a total length of 250 meters, uses an aluminum alloy frame and a giant cotton air bag, and has a volume of more than 200,000 cubic meters. It is equipped with 4 Tesla No. 12 diesel engines, with a total of 1,200 horsepower.  Horsepower, it can fly across the Pacific at a speed of more than 150 kilometers per hour under a favorable wind, and its payload can reach 25 tons. If converted into fully armed soldiers, it seems to be about two to three hundred people.  , but considering the cost of the airship and the flammability and explosiveness of the hydrogen used to provide buoyancy to the airship - the Donghua Kingdom of the Greater China Empire produces safe helium, but the production is very limited and is not enough to supply.  The imagined "thousands" of large airships are comparable in size to battleships, and the buoyancy of helium is not as good as that of hydrogen. Therefore, Ming's airship research and development is still based on hydrogen, and the large airships produced now are all.  Floating bombs Of course Zhu Jishi knew about the historical "Hindenburg" disaster, but Emperor Zhu Guoxiong and Prince Zhu Bangshi of the Ming Dynasty were very interested in airships. Even after several attempts, Zhu Jishi could not dissuade them from building large airships.  The idea - after all, the empire created by Zhu Jishi is too huge. Any technology that can quickly move people and items around the empire is extremely attractive to national leaders. "Oh,  Industry, armies and weapons are ready.  "Zhu Jishi did not discuss the airship with his son anymore - in his opinion, without one or two unforgettable lessons, Zhu Guoxiong and the senior officials of the Ming Army Ministry would not have realized the danger of the airship. "Then, we  Can we rely on these to fight a world war?  World War I created a socialist United States and socialist Russia, but World War II won¡¯t create a socialist China, right?  Zhu Jishi paused and said leisurely, "People in the country seem to be unstable recently. Xiong'er, do you have a way to deal with it?"  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
