Royal Secretary-General Gu Kaizhi is reporting on the current situation in Europe...

The large-scale air offensive started on July 9, which has been going on for a month and a half, bombing the depths of Germany. Many important factories, mining and enterprises, transportation hubs, warehousing facilities, bridges and railways have greatly weakened Germany's war potential.

Europe's unprecedented "showdown" is imminent, with millions of troops ready to go, and the situation becomes clearer.

On the Eastern Front Battlefield

The Germans reached a tacit understanding with the Empire. Merchant ships from the Ocean Empire could pass through the Bosphorus controlled by the Ottoman Empire without barriers and transport a large amount of supplies into Crimea in the Caspian Sea.

The Imperial Second Expeditionary Force did not abuse the prisoners of Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire. The wounded soldiers received corresponding humanitarian treatment and both sides were in peace.

When the Western Front battlefield is clear, a large-scale repatriation of prisoners of war can be launched.

But the Ocean Empire would not have kept so many prisoners in vain. Therefore, large-scale construction of Crimea has begun, including ports, docks, roads and railways, building houses and cities. The entire Crimea Island is full of construction sites, and it is a busy scene.

Some of the injured officers and soldiers of the Second Expeditionary Force have retired and are placed on the Crimea Island on the spot. They are granted certain fields to cultivate according to their military merits, or own shares in urban shops, docks and warehouses.

Hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Second Army who made outstanding contributions were mainly rewarded in Crimea, but the land in Europe was precious, so it was impossible to give hundreds of acres of land to soldiers who made contributions at any time, usually only about ten acres, and the most were no more than 30 acres.

The entire Crimea Island is only 25,500 square kilometers, and the arable land area is not enough to be divided. Therefore, the 23 towns on the island, several high-standard docks, warehouse areas, etc. are being built, and are used to reward meritorious officers and soldiers.

This way

In the entire Crimean Peninsula, except for some public facilities, public administrative construction land and naval bases, all other areas are rewarded.

After retirement, the meritorious officers and soldiers of the 2nd Army can live on the island, marry one or several beautiful Belarusian girls, and live a quiet and pastoral life without shame.

Most of the more than 300,000 officers and soldiers would accept such arrangements, which means that at least 200,000 Chinese families settled in the Crimean Peninsula.

besides

The 2nd Army also placed some Chinese officers and soldiers on the front line from Odessa to Crimea, and also placed a large number of Belarusian soldiers in the area, with a total of about 700,000 and covering an area of ​​about 110,000 square kilometers.

These Belarusian vassal armies not only had the blood of the Germans and Austro-Hungarian soldiers, but also had the blood debt of the new Russian workers' regime. They could only follow the 2nd Army of the Imperial Expedition to the black.

"Take the European map and take a look at it." Li Fushou ordered.

In a blink of an eye, the map of Europe came up.

Li Fushou frowned and studied it, picked up the pen, and led a dividing line from west to east from central Moldova, and reached about 50 kilometers east of the Crimean Peninsula, as if it was a hat on the head of the Crimean Peninsula, including Odessa, an important coastal port.

The total area of ​​this area is about 130,000 square kilometers (including 25,500 square kilometers of the Crimean Peninsula).

Its northern border is more than 320 kilometers away from Kyiv.

Li Fushou put down his pen and pointed the area with the tip of the pen, saying, "The command of the 2nd Army General Command to place officers and soldiers and Belarusian soldiers can only be limited to this area and cannot be expanded."

This is a standard that is mastered internally and cannot be leaked for the time being. There is still some bargaining with Europeans in the future, but there is no conclusion yet.

In addition, 50,000 square kilometers of land must be left for other soldiers who have made achievements in Europe, and the Second Army cannot be used up all."

Following the traditions of the Imperial Army;

All officers and soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in combat are commendable, including honors, land, money, promotions, and promotions.

Land rewards are undoubtedly the most attractive ones.

After the victory of the Wool War, the four northern states were vast. The wave of soldiers was assigned a large area, with dozens of acres of land, and there were many middle and low-level officers assigned hundreds of acres.

But that's North America, not Europe.

To put it bluntly, one acre of land in Europe (specifically referring to Eastern Europe and the Balkans) is worth more than ten acres of North American land and one hundred acres of land in Africa or West Asia.

In Western Europe, even if you have money, you can’t buy a large piece of land.

With a big stroke, Li Fushou enclosed 130,000 square kilometers of land. According to the Brest Contract, most of the west belongs to Germany, while Crimea belongs to Russia.

So if you want to truly and reasonably obtain this land, there are still many things to argue.

At the very least, the Ocean Empire would sign a formal territorial division contract with the new Russian regime, stipulating the border between the two sides.

The German part must obtain its own interests at the post-war Paris Peace Conference.

This part of the region is much larger than the Crimea that Li Fushou wanted to get at first, but the great contributions made by the Imperial Expeditionary Force in the war made the diplomatic department very confident in negotiating.

Li Fushou plans to take it down together with the Moldova region to allow this land to border Romania and form a better regional environment.

From a defensive perspective

Whether Germany or Russia in the future, as long as the naval strength cannot suppress the Royal Navy of the Ocean Empire, the security of the Crimean Peninsula will be sufficiently guaranteed and cannot be violated.

But now the scope has been expanded, from Moldova to more than 40 kilometers east of the Crimean Peninsula. The area of ​​this land reaches 105,000 square kilometers, completely located on the coastal plains of Ukraine, and is the essence of the coastal area.

From a defensive perspective, there is no danger to defend whether it is facing the German army or the Russian army, and the security situation is worrying.

Once a war breaks out, it is a high probability that these areas will fall.

Considering the advantages of the Imperial Navy, the troops attacking the area will withstand the bombardment of naval heavy artillery, which is difficult to stand firm and easily enter a long-term military confrontation stage.

Therefore, Li Fushou considered implementing a semi-militarized corps model in the region, relocating more than 200,000 soldiers in the Crimean Peninsula area, relocating more than 200,000 soldiers in the coastal areas around Odessa, and supplemented with more than 700,000 Belarusian soldiers, a powerful regional military force can be formed.

Combining peace and war, uniting troops to the people.

Whoever wants to move here must consider whether he can withstand the consequences of the war?

The region will also become the distribution center of imperial goods, with convenient railways, highways and sea transportation to the hinterland of Eastern Europe, becoming the empire's foothold in Europe.

The time is at the end of August 2018

Li Fushou has begun to consider post-war arrangements. As one of the main participating countries, the Ocean Empire played an extremely important role in the entire war and deserves reasonable rewards.

This unprecedentedly tragic world war has nothing to do with justice, it is just an ultimate battle to compete for the world's right to speak.

Proof of

Britain, France and other countries have a wider circle of friends, and have attracted 36 countries to deal with the German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria. In fact, Germany is carrying the group fights between Europe, Asia and Africa.

In the correspondence between London and Paris, there is no concealment of the attempt to split the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the German Empire after the war.

At this point

The three countries of Britain, France and the United States reached an agreement, which basically represented the direction of the Allies' post-war policy, and among them, Britain, France and other countries will play a leading role.

Since it does not involve core interests, Li Fushou is willing to give up the dominance of the three major empires in exchange for concessions in other aspects.

Sometimes, the more you do, the better.

The British led the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire, and Türkiye hated him for a hundred years. The dismemberment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Austria and Hungary and other countries against the British will surely last for centuries.

From European affairs, we can see that the Germans have much stronger appeal than the British. This is not a nonsense without historical reasons, but contains profound historical grievances.

Why do British people have to follow the Americans in their hearts, desperately emphasizing the special relationship between Britain and the United States, and keeping themselves as European scoundrels, isn’t it because of their reputation?

Many Chinese people believe that Westerners do not understand China, but the truth is actually the same. Who is willing to spend a lot of time studying the complex relationships between European countries?

A German has completely different feelings for Britain, France, Russia, Belgium and Poland, and contains complex historical factors, national and national sentiments, which are difficult for outsiders to understand.

vice versa.

What did the French get when they paid a huge price for almost a generation of young people in World War I?

If history has not changed

After a few years of defeat in Germany, it would be unable to pay war compensation due to economic collapse. France, the most seriously injured, brazenly sent troops to occupy the German industrial zone and forced Germany to repay the war compensation.

At this time, Britain, which fought side by side with the French in the war, stood up and accused France of protecting the interests of the Germans, and forced France to eventually retreat.

Standing at Li Fushou's current height, he can deeply understand the powerlessness, despair, and heart-wrenching sorrow of the French.

The blood of millions of French people was emptied, and Britain, the United States and other countries returned to the European strategic balance policy. When Germany was weak, it supported Germany against France.

The French General Staff once did several war chess performances. After the strength was restored, Germany's economic scale was three times that of France and its population was 1.5 times that of France. After re-arming, France was no match at all.

Therefore, France was directly flattened at the beginning of World War II.

During World War 1, Marshal Betton, who led the French army to fight bloody battles to establish outstanding achievements, personally came forward to surrender on behalf of France and established a puppet government.

At that time, there were only more than 200 people who followed "Free France" to London, which was a very representative of the French mentality.

If the main battlefield of World War II was still in France, just a few people in France would not be enough to consume at all, and the country would be destroyed in minutes!

The British were not the same as the French. This was the lesson France learned from World War I.
