Chapter 49 European Parliament 1
Russia is experiencing heavy snowfall that is rare in a century. For five days in a row, large or small snowflakes have been scattered in the sky.
In fact, not only Russia is covered by heavy snow, but almost the entire northern hemisphere is shrouded in the severe cold brought by heavy snow.
Thousands of miles away from Russia, Strasbourg is also experiencing thick snowfall.
Unlike other places in the world, Strasbourg looks very lively under the heavy snow.
On the street, groups of soldiers were constantly patrolling.
At night, people traveling on the streets must hold a special pass.
Anyone without a pass will be arrested immediately.
Many people who were arrested have disappeared. If you want to know where they have gone, the best way is to ask God.
Huge airships almost filled the airship landing area.
But there are still airships flying over from all over Europe.
As a result, many airships have to dock in Paris.
In the banquet hall of Strasbourg, dignitaries from all over Europe gathered together.
They are powerful people in various countries, but now they have a new identity, European Parliamentarians!
Strasbourg became the venue for the first session of the European Parliament.
This turned this small town in northeastern France into the center of Europe.
The banquet hall has held three dinners in a row, and the fourth dinner is now underway.
"Hi! Charlie, long time no see. When did you arrive?"
"I just arrived. Tomorrow is the first meeting of the European Parliament. How could I not come?"
“Hahaha, stop boasting, Charlie.
Everyone here knows that we are just here to top up the numbers. The ones who really have the final say are those upstairs."
Charlie held the wine glass and glanced at the stairs leading to the second floor of the building.
That is not a staircase, but a road to the highest power in Europe.
Although they are only separated by one floor, their rights are vastly different.
In the conference hall on the second floor, the top leaders of European powers gathered.
Although the European Parliament is divided into many seats, they are the ones who ultimately control European power.
"The war must continue. If we continue to compromise with Ming Dynasty, Europe will eventually become the slave of Ming Dynasty."
Swedish Prime Minister Andersen shook his fist and roared.
"We Vikings will not compromise with the yellow-skinned monkeys. Our warriors of God Odin are not slaves!" The speaker was the Prime Minister of Norway.
"If the EU can provide weapons and supplies, we are willing to add another 50,000 troops." The Danish king glanced at the people around him.
"Cheers to Odin!" Old Rothschild raised his glass high.
The Vikings in Northern Europe have been tough and good at fighting since ancient times. Although they no longer have monsters like berserkers, their fighting spirit is still strong.
However, during this winter, they were stationed on the quiet northern front with the Prussians and had no chance to show their bravery.
Old Rothschild believed that the tall and powerful Vikings would be able to defeat the short and thin Ming Dynasties.
The atmosphere suddenly became high, and everyone raised their glasses and took a big sip of whiskey.
Even the French Emperor Napoleon, who was reclining after recovering from his illness, took a sip with a smile.
"As long as I support my weapons, equipment and supplies, I am willing to send another 300,000 troops." After a glass of hot whiskey, Emperor Joseph of the Austro-Hungarian Empire roared.
This time, no one spoke.
Everyone saw the combat power of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the Battle of Kursk, the Ming Dynasty surrounded and annihilated more than 400,000 people.
It would be useless to give them weapons and equipment for an army with this kind of combat capability.
After a long time, British Prime Minister Finn shook his glass and said: "I think the Austro-Hungarian Empire can forget it. It is better for you to provide us with supplies and materials. It is better for us to fight the war."
Tens of thousands of British people were forced to surrender by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The British government now needs to spend a lot of money to get them redeemed.
We are currently in the midst of arduous negotiations. Finn is angry when he sees the Austro-Hungarians, but Joseph, the bastard, wants to come out and scream.
Sending 300,000 troops would only allow Ming to add another 300,000 prisoners.
"What did you say? You British sent the least troops, but the quickest to surrender on the battlefield.
At Kursk, your British troops surrendered without firing a shot.
If you hadn't surrendered, our front would not have collapsed so quickly.
Do you still have the nerve to talk about our Austro-Hungarian Empire here?"
When Joseph heard Finn's sarcasm, he immediately became angry, stood up and started to rant.
Although His Majesty the King is a little older, he is very angry.
He stood up and put the cup on the table to start drying.
"Joseph!" Frederick roared suddenly.
Austria-Hungary and Prussia were traditional allies. Frederick opened his mouth to speak, but Joseph shut up angrily.
"Prussia is willing to provide 300,000 weapons and equipment. We hope that Prussia's equipment can help the Austro-Hungarian Empire kill enough Ming people."
As a traditional ally, Frederick naturally wanted to support Joseph.
"Oh! My old friend Frederick, I can rely on you at critical times, unlike some people." Joseph gave Finn a vicious look.
Finn pretended not to see it, and he didn't expect that this hot-tempered emperor would actually want to fight with a real person in such a diplomatic situation.
Although I am thin, I am no match for the tall Joseph.
If there is a real fight, you will be the one who suffers.
He is the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so fighting is in vain. What else do you want? To start a war with the Austro-Hungarian Empire?
Did the EU break up just after it was founded?
This is not in the interest of Europe as a whole!
In desperation, Finn could only swallow his breath and pretend that he didn't see anything.
"Gentlemen!
The European Union has been established, and from now on we will no longer be scattered.
The coalition forces will be under the unified command of the EU General Staff.
The tasks of each country will also be uniformly arranged by the EU Council.
We will combine our strength to fight against the vicious Ming people.
Countries with large populations and strong national power send more troops.
Countries with small populations and small land areas can participate in the war by providing supplies.
In short, the European countries that have money contribute money and have the strength to contribute.
Let us defeat the evil Ming people and their accomplices, the Russians.
The benefits after the war will also be distributed based on the number of troops, money and effort."
Bismarck stood up and said to a room full of emperors and prime ministers.
"I agree with Prime Minister Bismarck that the management of the front line is too chaotic. From the distribution of supplies to the distribution of combat tasks, everything is a mess.
If I want to mobilize the troops following our army, I need to notify the Italian General Staff or the Spanish General Staff.
It takes two or three days to send official documents back and forth, and by the time the final approval is given, the fighter plane has already passed by.
I think it is very good that all armies are under the command of the European General Staff."
Napoleon came out to join Bismarck!
"We agree too!"
"Yes, we also agree with the European General Staff in the city."
"We in Italy agree."
"Spain agrees!"
When Napoleon spoke, there was also a chorus of agreement.
This time, Prussia and France sent the largest number of troops to fight the Ming Dynasty.
These two countries are also the countries with the strongest combat effectiveness in Europe.
It can be said that they are the backbone of Europe.
Bismarck and Napoleon took the lead in speaking, which shows that France and Prussia have already negotiated.
The remaining prime ministers and kings could only echo the sentiment.
There is no way, strength is the best guarantee of the right to speak.
"Gentlemen, we in the United States will provide large quantities of high-quality weapons and ammunition to all countries.
The price is absolutely fair.”
A sudden voice sounded, and everyone noticed that there was a guy in a tuxedo sitting in the corner.
"Who are you?" Joseph glanced at this guy and didn't recognize him.
It is impossible for him not to know the top figures in European countries.
Who is this and how did he get in?
“Your Majesty the King, I am Thomas Jefferson, the Plenipotentiary of the United States for European Affairs!
Chapter completed!
