Local Australian, Daming Palace.

At the weekly court meeting where cabinet members regularly meet the emperor, Li Fushou took out a private message from two Tsarist Russian princesses in Vladivostok and handed it to Prime Minister Zhang Li, saying: "You can take this letter back and hand it over to the diplomatic department for processing as appropriate."

When the emperor said this, Prime Minister Zhang Li knew it. This was his attitude of demanding public affairs. He took the letter with respect and browsed it quickly and replied. "I immediately forwarded it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, put pressure on the Russian side through the Moscow Embassy, ​​arranged for the Political Information Bureau to investigate the news and strive for a reply as soon as possible."

"Well, just show your attitude." Li Fushou replied indifferently.

I don’t know which idiot encouraged the two princesses to come up with this bad idea?

The pressure from the Ocean Empire will lead to the Russian workers' regime being highly vigilant, believing that this is the unreasonable and unreasonable interference of the imperialists in Russia's internal affairs and infringe on national sovereignty, which will inevitably make a fierce response.

Maybe, Nicholas II's death knell was sounded in advance.

This is by no means alarmist. The issue of abdicating to the Tsar has never been a private issue, but a major issue related to the state power.

As the chief leader and spiritual totem of the rebels of the all-Russian royalist party, Nicholas II existed for one day, and the numerous White Army had a backbone, and the rebellion would become more and more intense and endless.

Unfortunately, the two princesses who are not very familiar with the world do not know that they are powerful. If Nicholas II could live a little longer, now...

Li Fushou was unintentionally pursuing these trivial matters, and the situation in Tsarist Russia was not the focus of his attention. The first thing he focused on was the situation in North America, especially the just-concluded battle on the northern front.

If you want to say that the Japanese pirates are really a bit ruthless, they gathered 500,000 heavy troops on the northern front and have been confronting the million-strong American army for more than five months.

During this period, each had a victory or defeat, and apart from the increase in casualties, no major breakthrough was achieved.

Who knew that the Fusang people prepared a secret move, taking advantage of the opportunity of the US military slack on the northern front, armed more than 200,000 veterans from nearly 2 million Japanese immigrants, bypassed the northern front line of the United States and sneaked into Omaha, and then broke through the northern defense line in one fell swoop, and then captured Davenport. It has now approached Chicago, an important city in the Great Lakes region.

The war burned to the Great Lakes Heavy Industrial Zone. After the battle, nearly half of the million American troops lost, including about 167,300 casualties, more than 200,000 were captured, and more than 43,000 were missing and fled.

The US military lost countless weapons and equipment, a large number of artillery, tanks, armored vehicles and supplies were seized by the Japanese army, and experienced an unprecedented defeat.

The new President Taft came to Chicago's front line and called on all Americans to pick up weapons to join the army, save the nation and survive, and fight the Japanese army to the end.

In the final analysis

This is because the Great Plain in central America is endless and has no dangers to follow, and the roads are well connected. As long as you take a few more roads, you can avoid the heavy defense zone of the US military, which is extremely unfavorable to the defense side.

Field battles are the fatal weakness of the US military. With tanks and armored troops alone to put out fires, there will always be times when they cannot be rescued.

In this battle, Fusang Kingdom also invested a lot of money.

A mobile strike force composed of 200,000 old Japanese attackers attacked Omaha, and then countered the back of the US Northern Front, rushing and fighting along the way. After a bloody battle, it conquered Davenport and directly threatened Chicago, a large city with a million-dollar population in the Great Lakes region.

In this battle, the Japanese mobile corps lost more than 110,000 old Japanese soldiers with rich experience, of which more than 40,000 were killed and more than 70,000 injured in various situations.

According to the strong tradition of Japanese people who are slightly injured but not off the front line, at least half of these more than 70,000 wounded people will never be able to go to the battlefield again after being injured, and the losses are not small.

However, the record was also brilliant, breaking the northern defense line where the US military was heavily stationed, spreading the war to the core industrial area of ​​the Great Lakes.

The brutality of the Japanese army is well known to everyone. After occupying dozens of cities around the Great Lakes area, North American dispatched troops indulged soldiers to burn, kill, loot, rape and loot local white women, kill civilians, and create another outrageous bloody case.

Now that the situation in the United States is in danger, Li Fushou has let go of his heart;

The dog Fusang is fierce enough to bite the United States and spare no effort. It is time to relax the dog chain and give some benefits.

It seems that the old Japanese devil Youpeng in Shanxian finally understood that if you want to live a good life in the occupied North American area, you have to keep biting the Americans and don’t make any small plans.

After the US military was defeated, various news of the brutal and raging Japanese troops came, which caused great panic among the people in the central and eastern regions, and fled with their families.

West Virginia has a total population of about 2.31 million, of which nearly one million fled eastward into the Republic of Virginia. In the port of New York, the people who fled from the country were crowded with passenger ships. In addition to the southern republics, their destinations also include the Republic of California and the Governor's Office on the Pacific coast and the Governor's Office under the jurisdiction of the Governor of North America.

The Panama Canal has been opened long ago, and it only takes 5 days for immigrant passengers to arrive in San Francisco, the Republic of California, and 7 and a half days for arriving in Seattle or Newport.

Immigrants who left the United States were fed up with war nuisances. They had too many relatives who died in the war and wanted only a peaceful and peaceful life, not why they fought for America?

The weakness of the poor cohesion of immigrant countries was fully exposed at this moment. European immigrants came to the North American continent just to find a better life and escape the war in Europe, rather than fighting to the end for the United States.

When the war ended and seemed to be far away, many people gave up on persistence and chose to leave wisely.

This situation is exactly what Li Fushou hopes to see.

The chaos in North America has attracted great attention from the Allies such as Britain, France, Italy, and have successively put pressure on Fuso, requiring them to stop as soon as possible, restrain their troops, and not to continue to invade the territory of the United States and commit atrocities.

Britain's dissatisfaction with Fuso has been around for a long time. At the beginning of the outbreak of the world war, the Japanese declared war on Germany in accordance with the Treaty of the British-Japanese Alliance, and sent troops to capture the Qingdao Fortress, a German colony in the Jiaodong Peninsula, and took it for itself.

In the following years, the Japanese side ignored Britain's request to send troops to Europe to participate in the war, and blindly expanded its invasion in North America and conquered more territory.

Such actions have seriously deviated from Britain's expectations and damaged Britain's global strategic layout, which has made London's outrageous.

In terms of advanced ship manufacturing technology, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on Fuso Country, prohibiting the export of advanced ship power equipment and technology, prohibiting the export of large-caliber naval guns above 305 mm, prohibiting the export of large-caliber ship construction processes, drawings and related technologies, prohibiting the export of advanced industrial forging technology...

Britain and Japan are moving further and further away, especially on North America issues, which has become an irreversible trend.

Major Allied countries such as France and Italy were also unwilling to see Fuso's expansion in North America, especially after the traditional French North American colony, Louisiana (a total of about 3.6 million square kilometers, covering the fourteen states), France's attitude became tougher.

The descendants of expatriates from Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other countries suffered damage to the interests of the Japanese army. The brutal and reckless actions of the Japanese army aroused their great anger. European newspapers and magazines were criticized, comparing the Japanese army to "uncivilized barbarians."

This is simply a naked humiliation for the Fusang people who have always paid great attention to their international image and hoped to gain international recognition, and it is even more unacceptable. The rifts in international relations are getting deeper and deeper.

The current situation is unstoppable for the Japanese army. After conquering important cities in the Great Lakes such as Davenport, it is only one step away from threatening the metropolis of Chicago.

If you continue to go north

It can occupy Milwaukee and Green Bay, the city along the Lake Michigan, which can occupy the Atlantic Ocean, and thus have a sea port in the Great Lakes region. Its strategic significance cannot be emphasized at all.

Chicago and Detroit, an important city in the Great Lakes region, are located on the shore of the lake. They are established based on developed water and land transportation. They can easily import or export industrial products to domestic and foreign countries and carry out international trade.

And this unique geographical location is exactly what Japan wants to get.

As long as you occupy Milwaukee, Green Bay, or capture Chicago, a metropolis with a population of more than 2 million, Fuso will be like taking over a golden doll, and heavy industry and economic strength will increase sharply.

Think about it with your toes, and the Fusang people are unwilling to stop if they see it!

Now is not the time to be entrenched in Kansas City. The Japanese side paid a significant price to defeat the millions of American troops on the northern front and were about to reap the rich war dividends.

Just like a hungry wolf protecting food, anyone who wants to interrupt this process will bite someone. It won’t work if I come.

In Li Fushou's original plan, Fusang was not allowed to escape from control, and the bottom line was that he did not allow him to have a sea port and he did not allow him to attack the Great Lakes area.

Once such dangerous signs occur, the empire will use emergency intervention measures, including but not limited to joining neighboring countries to directly participate in the war and launching strikes on the Japanese army.

But that is just a preset position, which changes with the changes in the international situation, not a established national policy.

If the Japanese army had achieved such a success last year, the European battlefield of the World War was in a state of extreme anxiety, and Britain, France, Italy and other countries could not intervene. The Ocean Empire had to roll up its sleeves and end up together with the United States, the Southern Federation, Virginia, Florida and the Republic of California to siege and kill the Japanese army to stop its power from expanding wildly.

It's different now

The situation of the European war has become clear. Although the Allies lost the Eastern Front War, they prepared a huge "showdown military operation" on the Western Front of Europe, mobilized more than 4.7 million large military forces and divided into three groups to attack Germany's mainland.

The military plan is under intense preparations and is expected to be officially implemented from August to September, breaking the "Hindenburg Line" fully prepared by the German Supreme Command in one fell swoop and ending this super-large-scale war that has lasted for five years.

It is mid-April now, and there are not many days before the full implementation of the action.

It is precisely because Britain, France, Italy and other countries are confident that they still have the ability to send troops to interfere in the situation in Russia, and they also have the energy to denounce the Japanese army for doing whatever they want, order them not to continue to expand in North America, and order them to strictly restrain the army and not to harm the people or act recklessly.

In a word, the old thing will be reborn!

The arrogance of Europeans in their bones has never looked down on Japanese pirates, and they cannot tolerate the short Fusang soldiers who harmed the white people and raped all kinds of evil. That is simply a "bang" slap in the face of a white country. How can it be felt?

The situation was different a year ago and a year later. Under the new situation, the Ocean Empire's countermeasures should not continue to restrict Fusang, but should relax some restrictions to make it grow faster.

Of course, this does not include the high-tech blockade of heavy chemical industry, ship manufacturing and metallurgy, forging and pressing advanced technology blockade, electronics, machinery, advanced machine tool equipment and aircraft engine manufacturing technology blockade...

The Ocean Empire implemented strict confidentiality and patent systems in terms of advanced technologies, and has reservations to European and American countries. It strictly prohibits the outflow of high-end technologies. It has taken quite strict measures to formulate the Export Technology Control Law.

All contents that fall into the "Export Technology Control Law" are subject to strict confidentiality measures and are strictly prohibited from being leaked. Violators are punished with extremely serious punishment, second only to treason.

In terms of economic policy, the Ocean Empire was not free capitalism represented by Britain and the United States, but was dominated by large and medium-sized enterprise groups controlled by the royal family and government, which can be called the state capitalist system.

The difference is that compared with the former, the empire has more in-depth control over industrial economy and technology, has greater control and greater policy influence, avoiding most disorderly and repeated competition, effectively saving social resources, and has higher development efficiency.

In the field of scientific research, the Ocean Empire established a scientific research fund assistance policy led by the government and the royal family, and gave birth to a large number of world-leading electronic appliances, mechanical metallurgy, automobile manufacturing, heavy chemical industrial complete sets of equipment and other technologies, laying a solid advanced technological foundation for the Ocean Empire to surpass Britain, France, America and Germany.

Especially in the rapidly developing electronic and electrical industry, the complete set of AC transmission and transformation equipment technologies mainly based on Professor Tesla, medical and microelectronic semiconductor technologies developed with Professor Rutherford's research results, and the construction of heavy water factory, a major scientific and technological project that is being promoted by Madame Curie, are all scientific and technological achievements that are leading the world.

The Ocean Empire's policy has always been to sell products but not technology. Through patent wars after the Wool War, it completely destroyed the United States' automobile industry in its early stages of development.

In this field, the technical level is ahead of Europe for 20 years, forming an unquestionable industrial advantage.

The French logo, Italian Fiat, British Luster and other old car companies produce all the automobile products they rely on imported advanced engines, gearboxes and rear axles from the Ocean Empire, and on imported tires, rubber shock absorbers, door frame rubber and other parts from the Ocean Empire.

The cars, trucks and buses produced by the Ocean Empire account for more than 85% of the world's production, and have unquestionable technological and monopoly advantages. They are one of the world-class advantageous industries of the Ocean Empire.

Under the dual blow of imported cars and patent wars, the United States' automobile industry has been completely controlled by Ocean Empire auto manufacturers and has become uncompetitive.
