Australian Storm 1876 - Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055 Declaration of War

Affected by the “Peony Flower Incident”, the Imperial House of Nobility and the House of Commons convened an emergency session. In the House of Parliament, all the members of Congress stood up and shouted in anger;

war, war…

Driven by intense emotions, the Imperial House of Commons and the House of Lords passed the war proposal within a day, Prime Minister Zhang Li said in a speech at the Parliament;

The beautiful wish for peace has been broken, and the war imposed by Germany on the Ocean Empire must be washed with iron and blood.

Ming that those who violate the empire will be punished even if they are thousands of miles away.

…

On September 2, the Ocean Empire joined the Allied Powers, officially declared war on Germany, and began its first all-out war mobilization.

On September 3, the Ocean Empire officially declared war on Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria.

So far, the Entente group is dominated by Britain, France, Russia, and Japan, including a total of 26 countries (with the Republic of China, but not the United States), and fought against Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and the Bulgarian Quadruple Alliance, forming a group fight.

At a time when the international community was boiling, New Zealand quietly held a referendum on September 1, with 93.31% of the votes in favor of joining the Ocean Empire and becoming a state.

In the midst of the uproar, some countries may have noticed, but they have not made a sound, some countries have nothing to do with themselves, some countries are gloating at misfortune, some countries are more afraid of the Ocean Empire, and some countries are sour in private. crazy rant…

But so what?

Ocean Empire fulfilled its promise to let the New Zealanders go home. First of all, they asked the two and a half New Zealand divisions to relieve their front-line combat missions and stay in the safe rear to rest and prepare to return to New Zealand by boat.

These two and a half New Zealand divisions have a total of 47,400 people. Today, there are only less than 10,000 people left. Many of them are officers and soldiers who have returned from injury and have even been left permanently disabled.

Well, their war is over.

The Ocean Empire took the lead in mobilizing troops stationed in North America. The first batch of three divisions totaling 73,200 people boarded ships from Seattle, Portland and other places one after another. It is expected to arrive in the UK after January.

They will rest in Panama and the Yasore Islands respectively. After arriving in the UK, they will also undergo recovery training and rest to adapt to the environment. This time will be at least one and a half months.

that is to say

The first troops of the Ocean Empire will be put into the battlefield on the Western Front in Europe, and the earliest it will be in early December. These troops are not cannon fodder, and they cannot be taken out and used.

According to the plan;

Before the end of 2016, the Ocean Empire Expeditionary Force will start to move to Europe one after another, with a total of no less than 280,000 people, including the armored tiger cavalry division and the armored wolf cavalry division, two fully armored main forces.

The Ocean Empire has worked hard to build up 6 armored divisions for more than ten years. This time, they were sent to two armored divisions on the Western Front in Europe.

As for the honorary First Armored Division of the Royal Army, which is longing for Britain, France and other countries, and the Fourth Armored Division of the Royal Guards, known as the “Devil’s Division”, they are all listed in the list of the second batch of troops to participate in the war in Europe. The Eastern Front battlefield is to be determined.

Because the two heavy armored divisions of the Ocean Empire were all placed on the western front, it has already caused great dissatisfaction with Tsarist Nicholas II. If they do not add another heavy armored division to the eastern battlefield, Tsarist Russia will be swayed at any time.

Facing the heavy pressure of the German army, Lao Maozi couldn’t bear it.

As of the second half of 2016

The Tsarist Russian army has killed 6.4 million troops on the Eastern Front battlefield (including casualties, captured and escaped). In order to win this war, the Tsarist Russian Empire really used all its milk-feeding strength, bringing together a total of 15.4 million troops.

Today, the remaining troops are less than 9 million, of which 1/3 of the soldiers do not have rifles, and 40% of the officers and soldiers have to fight on an empty stomach. A large-scale famine has occurred in Eastern Ukraine, known as the “granary of Europe”, involving more than 23 million people. St. Petersburg The situation has been extremely difficult.

There are various riots in Saudi Arabia, workers and peasants are very active, anti-oppression, anti-starvation and fighting for fair rights and interests are one after another, and social contradictions are extremely acute.

Even a blind person can see that the Kremlin is sitting on a volcano right now, and may be blown to pieces at any time by the contradictions accumulated in the country.

After the Ocean Empire declared war

Nicholas II of Tsarist Russia sent an urgent letter to Li Fushou, Emperor of the Ocean Empire. The first thing was to ask for marriage, and the second thing was to ask for an emergency loan of 200 million Jinyang, with grain, rice, flour, oil, 3 million rifles and an astonishing number. distribution of ammunition and other supplies.

Now the Tsarist Russia is like a bird waiting to be fed. Looking at the Ocean Empire is like a life-saving straw for the drowning. There is an almost endless demand for materials.

The problem is

Even with the strong productivity of the Ocean Empire, in the case of meeting its own needs, the materials that can be exported to relieve Tsarist Russia are very limited. There can be more industrial products, but there are really not many foods.

“Ali, do you see where I can tell that I look like a big head?”

Li Fushou scratched his head in distress. It was rare for him to do such a thing in presiding over state affairs for so many years.

Now that you have joined the Allied Powers, you can’t treat the Allies with the same business attitude as before. Everyone fighting in the trenches should not be too preoccupied with each other, right?

“Hey hey hey…”

Prime Minister Zhang Li laughed dryly, this was not easy to answer, he could only cover it up like this.

The imperial material allocation policy has long been established;

That is, I am the main one. In addition to fully satisfying the needs of the people and the army of the Ocean Empire, on the premise of maintaining a certain amount of strategic reserves, the surplus materials will be given priority to supply Britain, Japan, France, the United States, Italy and other countries.

The priority of    is also in the order of Britain, Japan, France, the United States, and Italy. Tsarist Russia is in a very low position, and it is required to pay in gold, and it will not be shipped if there is no money.

The UK is the thigh, and has been the suzerain and close ally for many years. Moreover, the family has a big business and a solid foundation. It must ensure the supply of materials, and there is no doubt that it ranks first.

In the third year of the World War, there was no famine or severe shortage of supplies in the British Isles, which was inseparable from the strong support of the Ocean Empire.

The best canned meat, canned fish, flour and cream, cigarettes, cars, bicycles, airplanes, tanks, rifles, artillery, and ships are all given priority to supply the Kingdom of Great Britain, which is nothing to say.

You get what you pay for, why don’t you give them a high price?

The second is Fusang. From the strategic point of view of containing and comprehensively containing the United States, Fusang has a high priority and is also the best country to satisfy. The army only needs rifles and ammunition, plus a small amount of artillery and shells. What is the cheapest food? , do not pick, can fill the stomach on the line.

The people of Fusang are still very self-aware. They know that they can’t repay their debts if they borrow too much, and they can’t repay the debts of the Ocean Empire. They are very measured in their requirements, which makes Li Fushou more satisfied.

Going to Tsarist Russia, this is a big country with a population of 130 million, and the agricultural output of the Ocean Empire will definitely not be able to meet the huge gap, which is a headache.

The marriage of the royal family is no problem. Tsar Nicholas II has 4 daughters and a son Alexei. The 4 daughters are all female grand dukes who are in the Mood for Love. They are the eldest daughter Olga and the second daughter Tagiana. , the third daughter Maria, the fourth daughter Anastasia, not yet married.

The eldest daughter Olga is 22 years old and has already proposed marriage with the European royal family. Because the war has been delayed, this is not considered.

Tagiana, the second daughter, and Maria, the third daughter, are both sixteen and seventeen years old. The marriage is the two grand duchesses who want to marry into the royal family of the Ocean Empire.

This Li Fushou also agreed. Anyway, he has many princes and grandsons. As long as they are not in the line of the prince, let alone 2, 20 can be digested.

“That… British and French leaders have sent secret letters one after another, requesting full assistance to Russia and Russia. It seems that it is impossible to not bleed.” Li Fushou did not expect to get an answer from Prime Minister Zhang Li, and said a few words to himself. sentence, and then decided to say;

“Okay, there are still a few capable people in the Tsarist Russian court, Lao Maozi’s asking price is just stuck in the waist, it hurts a little bit, if you don’t give it, you can’t justify it, the situation there is really bad.

How about this

The price of this material will be increased and converted. The government will pay half, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will pay half. Try to give more industrial products and less food. After all, we are not rich in food.

The delivery period should be delayed as much as possible, and don’t give it all at once.

I know that Tsarist Russia is a bottomless pit. After giving it, it will come and ask for it, at least until the first half of next year.

If it really doesn’t work, it can be dealt with until the first quarter of next year. ”

Li Fushou made a final decision, so the pressure would be much lighter.

2000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Jinyangs of materials, it is not bad that the Russian side can get materials worth 100 million Jinyang. Due to the strong exchange rate of Jinyang, the exchange rate of 1 Jinyang has increased from 3 US dollars to 1 Jinyang to 3.2 US dollars.

This material is worth about 320 million US dollars. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs bears half of it, that is 50 million Jinyang. This money is still available.

The payment will be made on a monthly basis, about 10 million Jinyang each month. This is the price that the alliance must pay.

Prime Minister Zhang Li naturally has no objection to such an arrangement; “Reporting to the sage, the government’s finances are relatively generous, and this funding can still be obtained.”

“That’s good.”

To solve this troublesome problem, Li Fushou met with the cabinet ministers for a while, and roughly settled on some important matters after the war mobilization, and then he was relieved.

The government has been very rich in finance these years. The reparations from the “Wool War” in the United States will enter the financial pool every year for large-scale infrastructure, public spending and government investment, including participating in key enterprises for dividends.

This money can be used for 20 years. The government has a large fiscal surplus every year, and has the strength to invest in more backbone enterprises and get more dividends, forming a good virtuous circle.

All of this is based on the blood-sucking American nation.

This is like a thick blood vessel, which continuously extracts the abundant power for development from the United States, making the United States weak, and a large amount of funds are injected into the society of the Ocean Empire, which promotes rapid social progress.

Since the outbreak of the World War

The gold reserves of all countries in the world are rapidly flowing into the Ocean Empire. Almost every one or two months, ships that transport gold arrive to enrich the gold reserves of the empire.

Therefore, the Ocean Empire government is really rich and rich, and there is no falsehood at all.
