    Chapter 907: Cutting off the bear¡¯s claws The attitude of rejection is very clear, Ming has no obligation to help Russia.  The meeting place fell into silence. The young Mikhailov looked solemn and stared at his muddy shoes that he had no time to wipe.  "What does Russia need to pay?" Mikhailov finally raised his head and looked firmly at Chen Ping, who was also his deputy.  The moment the two people's eyes collided, what Chen Ping saw was a volcano that was about to erupt.  But this is of no use. Who has not seen Chen Ping as the president of Dafa Bank?  During this trip to Europe, similar scenes happened frequently.  This isn't the first, nor will it be the last.  "Very good, this is the attitude of the negotiation. Ming Dynasty can promise to help Russia. Warships and arms can be sold. International students can also be accepted, but the prerequisite is to determine the territory. To the north, take the middle line of the Ural Mountains as the boundary, and to the west,  The Caspian Sea is the high seas. To be precise, Russia's development direction is Europe, not Asia. No matter from which perspective, the Ming Dynasty has no territorial claims on Russia. It is Russia that is constantly expanding southward.  There is no action, not because of fear, but because Ming Dynasty has always been polite before fighting. " "I think we can start formal negotiations, which may take a long time." Romanov tried to save something, but was ruthlessly attacked by Zhang Guangde.  : "Don't have any illusions, this is Ming's bottom line. Anyone who tries to challenge Ming's bottom line will be mercilessly attacked. We can send warships to Europe, and we can send warships to the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea." "Negotiation  It is still necessary, Russia needs to weigh the pros and cons." Mikhailov opened his mouth to assist, and Chen Ping said calmly: "In the future, the Ming Empire will decide whether to establish a Black Sea army based on actual conditions.  Fleet, or Baltic Fleet. To put it bluntly, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty has always been very dissatisfied with Russia's behavior. "Mikhailov is furious, but he has no choice but to endure it.  This is a world where strength speaks for itself. The Ming Dynasty's navy and army have beaten the whole of Europe to pieces. Only Russia, behind closed doors, is showing off in the north. The Ming Dynasty will be helpless for a while.  The problem is.  Russia's development dream is completely ruined.  What is the concept of the Ming Dynasty's fleet entering the Baltic Sea?  With naval guns firing at St. Petersburg, what development can Russia have?  Today¡¯s Russia is still a backward country. Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, even Britain and France in Europe can take care of it.  "What if the Russian army goes to war against the Ottoman Turkish Empire?" Mikhailov planned to get some interest back. Chen Ping shrugged: "When will the Ottoman-Turkish War end and when will Russia stop attacking? At that time. The territorial issues between the two countries.  , You can talk about it yourself. Daming is not interested in these things. But the ugly words are ahead, and the war must be stopped when notified. "Of course you can agree to this, isn't it Georgia?  Let them fight.  As a practical talker in this negotiation, Chen Ping can still do something.  When he left the Ming Dynasty, he got a clear signal from Chen Xie, if there was a chance.  Cut off the claws of polar bears heading south and east.  As for the conflict between Tš¹rkiye and Russia.  It's not within the scope of his mission.  In fact, the Ming Dynasty did not have much preparation for this secret meeting.  Or rather.  It was never expected that Russia would proactively request a meeting.  As night fell, the lights in the manor were dimly lit. After dinner, the two people sat across from each other while drinking tea. The conversation naturally revolved around this meeting.  "I didn't expect that my brother knows so much about Russia?" Zhang Guangde has been holding back this question for a long time.  During the meeting, he also discovered something unusual about Mikhailov.  Russia, a country, did not have a strong sense of existence during this period, and Ming Dynasty never took it seriously in terms of overall strategy.  Chen Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it just proves my father's foresight and far-sightedness once again. It is not difficult for you and me to become a hero in this life, but my father is a genius who may not be able to emerge even in a thousand years."  "This flattery is very disgusting, but Zhang Guangde nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, Prime Minister Chen is so talented that he has never been seen before, and he has established the unchanging hegemony of the Ming Dynasty for only a few decades.  . Fifty years ago, who would have thought that Ming warships could cruise the seas around the world, and who would have thought that these warships would bring back not only the great martial arts of their soldiers, but also the endless wealth they would master.  , I have taken control of the world, and I still remember Xiang Chen¡¯s earnest teachings.¡± Chen Ping pointed at the lights in the darkness, and the city of Istanbul was like a beast nestled in the shadows: ¡°Do you see this city once it is occupied by me?  , the Russians' claws leading to the Atlantic Ocean were cut off, and in order to avoid more trouble, they signed a lease agreement with Ottoman Turkey for five hundred years.?, it¡¯s up to you.  " Zhang Guangde smiled and said: "What this country needs is just a new Sudan to lead them out of war and towards peace.  " "Boom!  "As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise like thunder. Zhang Guangde lowered his head and looked at his watch: "12 o'clock, the hourly bombardment.  " After entering the night, the siege battles stopped, but the artillery was not idle. Every time the hour came, a round of artillery shells was prepared. Whoever hit it was unlucky. Anyway, it was meant to make the city restless. Large-caliber ones  Artillery shells are very expensive, but the Ming Army is not short of money now, and sea transportation is the most suitable means of transportation today. The only regret is that there are thousands of ships running back and forth from the Ming Dynasty to Suez every day.  , the Suez Canal has not yet been built, and now we can only use 100,000 coolies to do this. These people include prisoners of war and black slaves from deep in the grasslands. The Ming Dynasty does not allow slaves. These black people do some hard work on the construction site.  We have enough to eat every day, but we just can¡¯t run away. Those who can still survive may not be willing to leave when the canal is completed. When the sky turns bright, the earth trembles again, and the Turkish army¡¯s position rises.  A column of smoke rises. This is the last position outside the city. The Turkish troops guarding here are extremely tenacious, fighting almost to the last man in each position. The siege has been fought to this day, and the fortress-like city has been formed.  Even if the Turkish army wants to escape from the city, there are only two ways to go, one is to cross the strait, and the other is to go to the Black Sea. There is no doubt that neither of these roads will bring good results. Although the strait is not wide,  But the south bank has been occupied by the Ming army, and there is no point in escaping to the Black Sea, let alone the Ming warships cruising nearby, sinking one by one, and the hundreds of thousands of people and defenders in this city have actually been killed.  There is no way to retreat. The most elite troops of the Turkish army are all surrounded in this city. There is no possibility of reinforcements in the Balkans, and no one in the entire Ottoman Empire can think of the Ming Dynasty.  It came so fast, which seemed almost impossible to them, but Ming Dynasty did it, and finally completed the siege of the city by annihilating 100,000 elite troops in the battle.  The entire Turkish leadership was in this city, and they didn't have time to escape. The fierce artillery fire was like digging the ground. The Turkish army learned to dig trenches from the French instructors, but the effect was still good.  In front of them, even if they hide in the trenches, there will be considerable casualties. After the Ming army launches an attack, even if a cannon can fire the shells into the trenches, the rate of fire and range of the rifles are not comparable to the Turkish army's muskets.  . Before dark, the last position outside the city was lost. Eighteen thousand Turkish soldiers died in the battle, and more than 10,000 Turkish soldiers laid down their weapons. At the last moment of the battle, the Turkish soldiers bravely jumped out of the trenches and tried to use their weapons.  The scimitars repel the enemy. But their opponents are too cunning. Each squad is equipped with a shotgun and a large number of grenades. Basically, the Turkish army has no chance of melee combat.  The machete has no advantage over the bayonet. Once stabbed by the bayonet of the Ming army, half of their lives will be lost. Many prisoners were injured in hand-to-hand combat and then died of infection.  Soldiers have doctors to treat them. Medicines shipped thousands of miles away cannot be wasted on these Turkish soldiers. Whether they die after being injured depends on God's will.  Tall city walls and solid fortresses are the capital of Constantinople.  However, these capitals became worthless on the first day of the siege.  The weather cleared up, and huge hot air balloons came over the city to guide the artillery to fire accurately.  The large-caliber artillery was aimed at a certain section of the city wall for intensive coverage.  The 105 cannon was even pushed to nearly a thousand meters and blasted against the city wall.  Two infantry divisions launched fierce attacks from the west and north directions. The warships near the strait ignored the fortress guns of the forts and moved in to bombard the fortresses and forts.  After cleaning up, the city was bombarded with artillery fire.  The bulky steel-cast naval gun, although only 150 caliber, is already a destructive weapon for the fortresses of this era.  The fierce fighting lasted for a whole day, and a large section of the city wall was blown down, and countless innocent people died in the gunfire.  The Ming army entered the city along the collapsed city wall, and urban street fighting began.  The Ming army, which was armed to the teeth, had its advantages greatly reduced in urban street fighting.  However, the Ming army had fought many street battles and had accumulated rich experience.  There is no mercy for civilians, and harming innocent people is simply a non-existent problem for them.  According to the instructions of the Afrika Korps, the military police will not appear within three days after entering the city.  Although the street fighting was quite difficult, the troops entering the city did not suffer too many casualties.  (To be continued.)
