Several pictures were placed on the table. Although the angles were different, the other three people present still saw that the objects painted on these sheets of paper were actually the same machine. However, the machine looked very strange, like a bird but not a bird. At the front was a large propeller with two wings side by side, not a long body, and the tail was also very strange. If it weren't for the fuselage pattern painted, Alexander III and his group could not even tell the front and back.

"What is this?" Alexander III asked with a frown.

"It seems that people can be seated in this position in front. Could it be that this is a new weapon developed by the Northeast Autonomous Region?" Mi Liujin was very concerned about the development of weapons in the Northeast. However, the research on local weapons in the Northeast has always been under strict military protection, and few people can find out. There are many spies, and they even secretly gathered forces to launch raids on military restricted areas, but basically they have come but never returned, and the income is limited.

Dragomilov didn't say anything, but his eyes staring at the drawings were extremely gloomy, which also made everyone understand his concern for this matter.

"The specific name is not clear, but what is certain is that this thing belongs to the Northeast Air Force." Skobelev finally gave his own answer.

"air force?"

The Air Force, a name that made Tsarist Russia hate from the royal family to the military. In today's world, there is only one in the Northeast in the world that truly has combat capabilities. Although France also has airships, because the airbags are filled with hydrogen, it is very dangerous to operate. In addition, the technology is not in place, so it is currently only used for air reconnaissance. However, with the reputation of the Northeast Air Force in the past two years, the world's most powerful countries have also begun to develop airships. Even Britain and Germany have publicly stated that they want to introduce airship manufacturing technology from the Northeast. However, Wang Yi is not stupid. It can be introduced, but it takes a long time to defend the air separation technology and will never be sold. Therefore, other countries have to be jealous of the Northeast's airships flying all over the sky, but they can do nothing.

However, it has been several years since the airship appeared in front of the world, and there are no weapons that can last forever. So in the past two years, air defense weapons have been developed one after another. Most of them are developed based on the Hatchais machine guns. It is hard to say how powerful it is. However, in the Russian battlefield, mammoths and vipers no longer rush around like before and are unscrupulous.

However, as the attacking side, even if the airships in the Northeast are limited in movement, they still take the initiative on the battlefield. This is the advantage of the attacking side. Tsarist Russia can only be passive. Those who are good at attacking are hidden under the nine earths, while those who are good at attacking are moving above the nine heavens. Sun Tzu talked about the essential direction of the development of modern war thousand years ago.

"God!" Mi Liujin smiled bitterly in secret. After several years, Tsarist Russia has studied and understood the principle of airships, but it is not clear. Without the technology of the Northeast, airships filled with hydrogen are giant bombs. Now that the airship has not been solved, the Northeast has built UFOs again. After a glance, I didn't understand how this thing could fly in the sky.

"General Skobelev, are you sure this machine can soar in the sky?" Dragomilov asked suddenly.

Skobelev hesitated for a moment and said, "Well... although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the soldiers who escaped from the battlefield confirmed the existence of this thing to me. They said that these machines are much more agile than airships, mainly based on continuous shooting weapons, and their speed is very terrifying. Our cavalry division collapsed one after another under the attack of dozens of strange machines."

The hall of the throne fell silent for a moment, and the four of them were not talking. After a long time, Alexander III spoke again: "General Skobelev, let's talk about the current situation on the Far East front."

As soon as His Majesty the Tsar spoke, the dull atmosphere in the throne hall finally dissipated slightly. Miliujin and Dragomilov were both considering the impact of the new Northeast flying weapons, so they didn't worry about the atmosphere just now.

"The front line is still calm due to the season. In recent years, although Northeast China has repeatedly attacked, its scale is not huge."

After hearing this, Alexander III nodded and said nothing. Dragomilov, who was beside him, frowned. He also knew Skobelev very well. A few years ago, he was a terrifying character like the Central Asian butcher, but now he only talks about defense. It seems that he has lost the courage to attack.

As the dean of the General Session Academy, Dragorov has always put the will quality of soldiers first, even to the point of absoluteness. Therefore, he secretly felt dissatisfied with Skobelev. Who can rest assured that the Far East of the Empire was handed over to such people to defend?

Mi Liujin was very calm. The weapons and equipment gap between the two sides was huge. It would be good if Skobelev could defend his territory.

Afterwards, Alexander III asked about the situation on the front line. Skobelev had a very organized answer. At this time, the Tsar finally said: "It is very difficult for you to return from afar. Let's talk about this today and continue tomorrow."

Skobelev, Miliukin and Dragomilov immediately saluted and said, "Yes!"

Miliujin and Skobelev turned around and were about to leave the throne hall. Suddenly, they found that Dragorov did not move. At this time, the president of the General Session said loudly: "Your Majesty, I still have to report it."

Alexander III was stunned, nodded slightly, and waved his hands to the other two.

He was very curious about what Dragorov wanted to say to His Majesty the Tsar, but Miliujin still took Skobelev with tactfully. In terms of relationships, he recommended Skobelev to the Far East at the time, and the two had a close relationship. At the beginning, he thought that going there was similar to pacifying the Stan countries in Central Asia. Once the army arrived, they would get military achievements. Even if there was a resistance, they would turn into powder in front of the powerful Russian army. Unexpectedly, this trip hit the iron plate and was bleeding. If the Far East was not too far away, the nobles of St. Petersburg would not have much interest in the other side, otherwise Skobelev would have been replaced long ago, and the fate might have been so miserable.

"Mikhail, you are secretly returning to St. Petersburg this time. You must keep your whereabouts confidential. Just live with me for the time being."

"Okay, Minister."

The two left the Winter Palace in a carriage. The sky was a little gloomy, like Miliujin's face. Skobelev was not bored, so no one spoke along the way. After walking along the Neva River for a long time, the carriage drove into a manor. Looking around, it was vast and rarely visited. There was an ancient castle in the dead woods, and the black appearance was mottled.

It was not the first time Skobelev came here, so he didn't wait and see.

After entering the room of the castle, Mi Liujin ordered the servants to prepare refreshments. After everyone left the room, he said, "You can see that you have nothing to say in front of His Majesty, and you have nothing to say, now."
