Although France and Russia are getting closer and closer in order to fight against the increasingly powerful Germany, the Northeast Autonomous Region has actually played an important role in it.

In fact, there have always been constant conflicts between European powers, and of course France and Russia, which are both European powers, are no exception.

As early as the French Revolution, the female Tsar Catherine II taught Protestant Europe in an Orthodox manner and tried to practice hegemony in the name of religion; on the basis of traditional aggression and expansion, the counter-revolutionary clamor was added: "People should convert to Greek Orthodox Church to defend against non-religious, immoral, anarchist, despicable, and devilish plagues" meant a battle with the "French Plague". Because they were busy suppressing the Polish reform movement, they called on the monarchs of European countries to put pressure on the revolutionary France in order to release Louis XVI and his family, claiming: "The affairs of the French monarch are the affairs of all monarchs!" This led to the first anti-French alliance.

Later, Alexander I inherited the throne, and he instigated the assassination of his father Paul I by the nobles. The reason was that Paul I compromised with France, gave up his intervention in European affairs, and instead marched into Persia and India, which violated the interests of the Russian Empire. As soon as he ascended the throne, he regarded himself as a royal defender and promised the defeated Emperor Franz and Emperor Friedrich III that he would definitely eliminate Napoleon. Unfortunately, he had the ability to speak vernacularly. Facing the already rising French army of Napoleon, he was beaten to pieces in Friedland.

In 1807, France and Russia signed the "Tilset Peace Treaty" aimed at fighting the British mainland blockade policy. However, later the competition between the two countries became increasingly fierce in the Ottomans, Poland and Central Europe, and the peace treaty was ineffective in the end. At that time, Napoleon I could not bear such a blatant breach of contract, so he formed an alliance with Prussia and Austria. In 1812, he assembled more than 600,000 people in Poland and launched a war against Russia.

The result of the home game exchange was that the French army was defeated and the main force was completely lost. Napoleon I fled back to Paris in a panic, and France was seriously injured. On the contrary, the two teams of Purdue and Austria, who were responsible for the left and right sides, suffered no losses because they reached a secret agreement with Russia at the last match.

Now more than half a century has passed, facing the new situation in the world, Britain's increasingly strengthened maritime hegemony, Germany and the strong rise of Northeast China, these two old European powers have finally felt the cold wind, and it is a helpless choice to join together to keep warm.

"What will France react when we have proposed the conditions?" Alexander III asked with a gloomy face at this time.

Miliujin replied: "France is willing to provide us with financial assistance, but the amount is not satisfactory, and the loans required can only be used for the procurement of French-made weapons."

Alexander III lowered his head and thought about it. French weapons are also pretty good. At least now the Imperial team needs a certain number of French-made Hatchacas machine guns to prevent air defense and fight against the firepower of the Northeast.

"It's okay to buy French goods, but we need to provide technical support. We also need to have a certain ability to produce weapons by ourselves."

Although Tsarist Russia and France were both European powers, the two sides were not on the same level in terms of scientific and technological development. After France experienced the Great Revolution, the capitalist economy had begun to develop, a large number of world-renowned scientists continued to emerge, and the level of industrialization continued to improve. At this time, the feudal serfdom of Tsarist Russia still existed, and the capitalist economic system stagnated due to the death of Alexander II. Although a university education system was also established, and great scientists like Mendeleev appeared, they could not be compared with France in the end.

"I have recorded it! It probably is not a problem." Mi Liujin said at this time: "My subordinates also suggested that if possible, we should also cooperate with France. Not only should we learn their warship construction technology, but also develop their naval alliances. Only by establishing a strong enough expeditionary fleet can we pose enough threats to the Northeast. Let them lose sight of one thing and strengthen the defense of the coastline, so as to reduce the positive pressure on our battlefield, so that they can no longer use most of the troops on our fronts. Moreover, my subordinates believe that the French are willing to use our help to regain their lost colonies in Southeast Asia. At the same time, if the plan goes well, the empire is likely to obtain a frozen port in the Far East, or islands in East Asia as overseas naval bases."

The unfreezing port in the Far East of Shasha has always been the dream of several generations of Tsarist Tsarist Russia. They followed the opportunity of the Qing Dynasty to engage in the Opium War and seized Vladivostok. However, although it was a good port, it was necessary to seal the port in winter. Later, with the bloody rise of the Northeast, Wang Yi's Russian genocide policy implemented by Wang Yi made the plan of Tsarist Russia's immigrants' land encroachment completely impossible. Vladivostok and a large area of ​​Far East territory, in this process, they were lost again.

When Vladivostok was occupied, Tsarist Russia formulated a large naval plan, building ships every year. On the one hand, it was to cope with the rise of naval forces in European countries, and on the other hand, it was also preparing to counterattack the Northeast. However, the reality was cruel. Although Tsarist Russia has launched new ships every year in recent years, the weak basic industry, coupled with the backward ship craftsmanship and naval concepts, made Tsarist Russia's warships low. Therefore, the plan for the expeditionary fleet to counterattack the Northeast was completely shelved. After hearing that the Northeast Navy eliminated the Japanese-French joint fleet and the French Far East Fleet, the Tsarist Russians completely gave up and understood that with the strength of their own navy, going to the Northeast would mean death.

However, there is an opportunity to cooperate with the French. Although they have suffered consecutive defeats in the Northeast, they are still the second strongest country in the world. France and Russia, which have a common enemy, have broad prospects for cooperation.

"Your dear words are very consistent with my wishes! By the way, I heard that something happened in the Northeast colony in Southeast Asia?" Alexander III's thoughts finally became alive. Thinking of the possibility of solving the Northeast, he was also very happy for a moment.

"It is a religious organization called the Dragon King Sect. Taking advantage of the lack of troops in Northeast China in Southeast Asia, it took advantage of the opportunity of heavy rains and floods to launch a rebellion without warning." Mi Liujin told what he knew.

The king and his minister had been talking for nearly an hour. At this time, a servant suddenly walked into the imperial hall of the Winter Palace and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Skobelev, the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front, is asking for a meeting outside the door."

"We're finally back!" Alexander III stopped talking to Mi Liujin about the Dragon King Sect, and then said: "Xuan!"
