While the outside world was in chaos, in the capital of Holy Britannia, Pendragon!
As the capital of this new empire, this metropolis had achieved unimaginable achievements in the past few hundred years. Countless skyscrapers rose from the ground, the wide streets, the cars passing by, the dense pedestrians... All of this was a testament to the exuberant vitality of the Imperial City!
Today, it could not be compared to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the capital of the Central Parliament of the European Union, Paris, and other historical cities. However, it was far more than an ordinary city. Moreover, because the blueprint was drawn on a completely blank piece of paper, Pendragon had a more orderly landscape.
Looking down from the sky, this young city was like a super fortress made of steel. Under the sunlight, the entire city flickered with a metallic glow. However, in the center of this steel city was a lush forest that was full of vitality! The only green part of the city was the palace of the Pandraken.
The new queen, Mariana V. Britain's bedroom, the Palace of Aries, was located in this medieval castle-like palace.
However, Mariana wasn't in her luxurious bedroom at the moment. Instead, she had come to a secret base on the outskirts of Pendragon with the First Knight of the Empire, Bismarck.
"Is this why you asked me to come here personally? Isn't it just a tank from the Great Ming Federation? What's so strange about it?”
Mariana, who was as beautiful as ever, elegantly retracted her gaze and asked Pi Simai, who was beside her, with a puzzled expression.
That's right, in front of them was a Leopard main battle tank belonging to Da Ming. In the previous battle of the Lower East Continent, this type of tank was greatly aided by the countries of the Lower East Continent. Now that the British had annexed the Lower East Continent, a large number of Ming Dynasty standard equipment were easily seized by the British.
"Your Highness, you don't know!" Bismarck quickly explained,""This tank is indeed different because the energy source that drives it doesn't seem to be Sakura Stone.”
"Swoosh!" Mariana's elegant eyes suddenly became sharp, and Bismarck's body stiffened. "You mean, Big Ming's tank doesn't need to be driven by cherry stones?”
"Yes, not only this tank, but almost all of the Ming chariots seized this time are driven by a strange liquid with a pungent smell…"
Just as the signs in Britain indicated that a great change was coming. After the ceremony, Zhu Jianyi, the Emperor of Ming, once again summoned General Qi Jisheng, Minister of War Zhao Ze, and Governor Li Fangxun.
"Your Majesty, the operation in the East Province has come to a perfect end. The consultant team has returned safely. At present, a total of 152 people had been sacrificed. Due to the circumstances at that time, the bodies of some of the victims could not be brought back.”General Qi Jisheng said with a solemn expression.
Zhu Jianyi sighed." They are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty. The bodies they bring back must be buried. The families of the martyrs must not be neglected!"”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Ministry of War has already given out the pension. In the future, the children of the martyrs will be taken care of in terms of education, employment, and housing.”Minister of War Zhao Ze solemnly said to the emperor.
"Good, this way, we won't disappoint the soldiers of Great Ming.”Zhu Jianyi looked gratified, but then he asked in a mocking tone,"By the way, Governor Li, how did the embassy respond to the protest from the British Foreign Ministry?”
Li Fangxun bowed to the emperor and said,""Your Majesty, regarding this matter, the General Office declared that it was just a normal trade exchange between countries and that third parties had no right to interfere. They also condemned Britain's wanton invasion of other countries and its failure to restrain its soldiers from persecuting civilians!”
"Haha, what Old Li said is beautiful. This time, Britain will be completely at a loss for words so as not to affect my follow-up plans.”
"Your Majesty, you are wise! However, the behavior of the British in the newly occupied land was indeed cruel. Not only did they crazily exploit the wealth like killing the goose that laid the golden eggs, but they also conscripted their soldiers to kill without caring about the lives of the local residents.”As he spoke, Li Fangxun's face was filled with indignation.
Hearing this, the Minister of War Zhao Ze said,"Governor Li, you're being too obvious. It's not like you don't know that the British Empire started out as a colony. Naturally, it's very different from the way our Great Ming treats the allied countries. Moreover, they were immigrants from the European continent and were of the same origin as the European Union. No matter how much they flaunted themselves as gentlemen, it was difficult to hide their bandit nature!”
"Minister Zhao's words are very penetrating. Old Master Li, you don't have to worry about this. The white people in the countries of the Lower East Continent were colonists from the European continent. Now, it was just a dog-eat-dog situation. Compared to my Ming Empire's gentle words to the allies, how can those foreigners compare!”Zhu Jianyi consoled Li Fangxun.
Li Fangxun looked relieved after hearing that."Your Majesty's words are like thunder in my ears. I was foolish!”
After that, the monarch and his subjects discussed the current strength of the British Empire and the impact it would have on the Federation. However, the chief assistant of the cabinet was not present at such an important meeting. It could be seen that the emperor was increasingly dissatisfied with Wang Weixin, who was a lackey of the eunuchs.
……
Britain, Penderyken!
Mariana watched as the soldiers poured a bottle of yellowish liquid that emitted a pungent smell into the tank. Then, the driver ignited the engine and controlled the big guy in front of her to fly.
She laughed so hard that she was jumping around!
"Minister Bismarck, it looks like our opponent has been improving!”
Bismarck stood up straight and said with a serious expression,""Yes, Your Highness. Compared to the first time I came into contact with Great Ming's weapons and equipment twenty-five years ago, this Eastern Empire has made subversive progress in the past few decades.”
Mariana took a deep breath and muttered,""Perhaps, we should also find another way. In terms of traditional weapons, it is too difficult for Britain to catch up to Great Ming. Britain must develop a new type of weapon!”
At this point, she looked at the Mercedes-Benz tank in front of her and a smile appeared on her pretty face." But! Since the emperor dared to openly send such a major secret to us, it meant that our attitude towards Japan was at least the same.”
" In the future, whether it's Great Britain or Great Ming, there's no need for a complete Japan…"
The cold words indicated that a huge storm was about to blow! After Britain completely annexed the East Continent, the entire world was about to face a reshuffle.
