Chapter 1013(2/2)
As a symbol of the Tsarist royal family, it has never left Russia. But now, it has to be dedicated to the Ming Dynasty Marshal.
"Your Excellency the Grand Marshal, this crown symbolizes the majesty of the Tsar and is also the most noble treasure of our Russian royal family.
Now I dedicate it to you, on behalf of the Russian royal family, for your surrender and loyalty." Ekaterina stood up, held the sparkling crown in both hands, and handed it to Li Xiao.
This girl deliberately stood under a ray of sunlight that filtered through the gap between the vines. The already sparkling crown was now even more dazzling.
Li Xiao had to squint when he looked at the crown.
Perhaps, this is the true purpose of the crown.
Li Xiao took the crown with one hand and put it into the box. Then he handed the box and the box to Shunzi behind him and motioned for him to take it.
"I feel your loyalty and surrender. From then on, Russia became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
I reiterate once again that the security of the Principality of Moscow is completely protected by the Ming Dynasty. When I get back, I will issue an order that the Ming Dynasty’s warships will be stationed in St. Petersburg Port to protect Russia’s maritime interests from infringement.”
Taking advantage of others' shortcomings, Li Xiao immediately agreed to let the Ming fleet station in St. Petersburg Port as he had promised long ago.
The Port of St. Petersburg is a rare good port in the Baltic Sea. A fleet is stationed here and can effectively control the entire Baltic Sea.
"Thank you, Generalissimo!" Ekaterina quickly stood up and thanked her.
"However, Russia still faces the wolf-like Poland and the ambitious Prussia.
To the south, there is France like a hungry wolf.
Recently, the ferocious Israel has emerged. They slaughtered our Russians wantonly, and asked the commander to give us the latest weapons, so that we can rely on our own strength to defeat the invasion of hungry wolves and defend our homeland."
Yekaterina revealed the biggest purpose of her trip, asking for advanced weapons from the Ming Dynasty.
"You can discuss this matter with the Chief of Staff. He will help you as appropriate!" Since he had accepted other people's things, Li Xiao was too embarrassed to refuse.
If what she wants is not too cutting-edge, Li Xiao doesn't mind exporting some weapons to Russia.
The Principality of Muscovy will become a powerful force in Europe. Even if you raise a dog, you still have to give it fangs and claws.
Today's Moscow is at best a teddy. Li Xiao plans to train Russia into a Tibetan mastiff that can be released to bite people at any time.
"Thank you, Generalissimo! In order to express our loyalty, we have to reveal important news to you." Ekaterina thanked you again.
"Oh, what's the news?" Li Xiao looked at Yekaterina with interest, wondering what kind of medicine this yellow-haired girl was selling in her gourd.
"The war between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Israel is ongoing in Crimea. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has no chance of winning..." Ekaterina said in a calm tone.
"Oh? How come you can see that?" Sure enough, Li Xiao's interest was aroused.
"Because behind Israel there is the support of Prussia and France. There is also the United Kingdom, who also gave some support."
"Please explain it clearly!" The instigator of this war was actually Li Xiao.
Now Britain, France and Prussia actually support Israel together. Li Xiao wants to know what's going on!
"Now the Israeli army is no longer the ragtag group it once was. Prussia and France have a large number of retired Hebrew soldiers.
Then through the Sea of Azov, they were sent to Israel to join the war.
Even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire has the secret support of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid it will be difficult to win this war." Ekaterina slowly explained the reasons why the Austro-Hungarian Empire has been unable to make progress so far.
"Is there such a thing?" Li Xiao frowned. Zheng Sen did not send a telegram to explain these matters.
The previous telegrams only said that the Hebrews fought fiercely and their weapons were also very sophisticated.
There were also complaints that the Austro-Hungarian Empire's army was too weak in combat effectiveness, etc. But never, as Catherine said, Prussia, France, and the United Kingdom were doing their best to help the precarious Israel.
“Every day, the ships traveling on the Sea of Azov are all used to transport arms, food and various war materials.
More importantly, a large number of Hebrew soldiers passed through the Sea of Azov every day and arrived in Crimea to participate in the war.
