Chapter 1119 Overall contraction strategy (learning one hundred thousand volts for Pikachu in case of bombing)
The Ocean Empire's Royal Army posts of more than 2.3 million will be cut by 2/3 within two years, and only more than 800,000 permanent troops will be retained during peacetime.
The Royal Navy will also make corresponding losses, reducing the current 710,000 to more than 550,000, which is roughly the same as the number of the Royal Navy in the UK and is similar in scale. The main ships have their own technical expertise.
The Empire canceled a large number of subsequent shipbuilding orders. Among the six Duke-class battleships that were the main force of the Royal Navy, two were in service, one was launched, and three were in different construction progress, which will continue to be completed.
The additional orders of the two Duke-class battleships were cancelled, including a new ship with keel steel plates cut, and the construction work will no longer continue.
In terms of post-war economic transformation, the Ocean Empire was far ahead of other countries. Millions of labor opportunities in military industry have achieved a smooth transition under the two major measures of restricting immigrant population and large-scale infrastructure, which are increasing and decreasing.
Thousands of military-industrial enterprises that have stopped production have cast swords as plows, the cannons have been used to produce agricultural machinery, the explosives have been used to produce fertilizers, the tanks have been used to produce tractors, the military vehicles have been used to produce civilian trucks, and the rifles have been used to produce motors, which has achieved transformation one step ahead of schedule.
Most of the Kangyu output was jointly launched by the Empire and Royal Fund to carry out large-scale strategic storage, achieving good results, allowing many military factories to go into battle lightly and quickly switch to production, avoiding the fate of bankruptcy and liquidation.
Early 19
The Paris Peace Conference, which divides post-war interests, brought together diplomatic representatives from countries around the world, especially headed by the Allies Group of Britain, France, and Italy, and began negotiations to shape the post-war world pattern.
The negotiating delegation headed by Marshal Li Shuanzhu and the Imperial Special Representative Tang Zhaoyi have recently entered Paris to participate in the preparatory preparations for the Paris Peace Conference and various private secret talks.
At this stage, the main reason is that major countries are surveying each other, and various rumors of asking prices are flying everywhere.
Recently, a delegation led by Marshal Zhang Daoru, the Minister of the Navy, arrived in London and will negotiate on the "Six-National Naval Arms Restrictions".
The navies of these six countries are Britain, foreign countries, France, Italy, Japan, the United States, no Germany, no Austria and Hungary after the division, and no Ottoman Empire after the division.
These countries are all defeated countries. According to the consensus reached by the heads of Britain, France and the foreign countries, defeated countries are only allowed to maintain the minimum army security force, and should not even raise the naval force, and are strictly restricted.
After the end of the world war
The Austro-Hungary Empire quickly split into 10 countries, including Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Republic of Slovenia, Republic of Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina Republic. Basically, it is divided by ethnicity. The largest Hungary is only more than 7 million, and the small Macedonia has a population of more than 300,000, and its territory has become fragmented.
The territory of the original Austro-Hungarian Empire was even more chaotic, and it was really a scattered demons.
The British Expeditionary Force took the lead in occupying Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and imposed military controls on it.
Then, countries began to compete for territory, the Ocean Empire occupied Libya, Britain occupied Syria, Jordan, the Arabian Peninsula and Iraq,
However, this did not satisfy the British's good appetite.
After occupying the above-mentioned areas, the British army began to march towards the Black Sea area, attempting to seize control of the strait.
They hope to connect their forces from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean to expand their ambitions for the Caucasus region. In addition, Britain also wants to extend its forces to the Democratic Republic of Armenia.
Coincidentally, the new Tsarist Russian government was also very interested in the region and sent a large number of personnel to infiltrate Armenia to expand the influence of the Russian workers' regime.
The Greek Kingdom wanted to realize its great ideal and establish a great Greek kingdom, and put forward the territorial requirements for Istanbul and its surrounding areas. Those with big appetites were not afraid of dying.
This was supported by British Prime Minister George. In Li Fushou's view, this was purely polite but not really a way to be used, and it was a kind of high-level teasing.
The Italians hope to implement the Saint-Jans de Molenne Agreement, control southern Anatolia, and cut a piece of fat from the Ottoman Empire.
France quickly sent troops to occupy Hatai, Lebanon and Syria, and hoped to exercise the powers of the Sykes-Picco Agreement to take over parts of southeastern Anatolia.
The French-Armenian Agreement signed by France recognizes Armenia's sovereignty in the Mediterranean region in exchange for the establishment of the Armenian French Legion and expanding its own strength.
On December 21, 1918, the French Armenian landed in Adana and occupied surrounding territories.
In short, the territory of the Ottoman Empire, which has now collapsed, is characterized by fragmentation.
The war just ended
The Ocean Empire and Britain took the lead in seizing territory. France, Italy, Greece, Armenia and other victorious countries also continued to send troops to the Ottoman Empire, trying to gain more territory from the defeated Ottoman Empire.
These days, the hands are fast and slow, and the movements are slow and the mouth is not hot. No matter how you take them, you will talk about it.
In Russia, an interference army composed of 17 countries invaded a large-scale invasion, with a total of 230,000 people, supporting the local white bandits to combat the Russian workers' new policy army, and igniting war in Eastern Europe and Central Siberia.
Among them
Fusang was the most hardworking country. By the beginning of 2019, it sent more than 70,000 troops to rank first. With Vladivostok as its base, it advanced from east to west along the Siberian Railway attack, burning the war to the Central and Siberian regions.
The second-ranked Czech Legion was about 50,000 people. They were originally prisoners of war from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After obtaining military equipment from the Allied Powers, they grew into the main force of foreign interference forces.
The third place is Britain, with more than 40,000 troops sent.
For London, curbing the workers' strength of the new Tsarist Russian government is the most important matter at present. Even if you invest heavily in this, you must stop the spread of the workers' movement in Europe.
The fourth place is the Ocean Empire, with a total force of 28,000. It sent a brigade in Murmansk, basically guarding the city and not actively launching attacks.
A division was invested in the Far East, mainly based on Vladivostok, controlling several surrounding Far East cities, and not participating in the crackdown on the new workers' government. It was purely a fishing slut.
France ranked fifth, sending 12,000 troops. As a traditional world power, how could this collective robbery be without France?
Other countries sent fewer than tens of thousands of troops, the more than a few thousand and the less than a few hundred, and the more the meaning of making up the numbers is even stronger.
Waves of foreign troops rushed into the Soviet Union. From Murmansk in the north to the Black Sea coast in the south, from the Baltic Sea in the west to Siberia in the east, the figures of foreign troops seemed to be everywhere. With their support, the White Guards fought against the Soviet army on various fronts, and the war spread all over the place.
In Li Fushou's opinion,
The civil war that occurred in Tsarist Russia was the most tragic. At the end of May, the Czechoslovakian army composed of 50,000 Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war launched a rebellion on its way back through Siberia, and successively occupied the middle reaches of the Volga River, Urals, Siberia and the Far East, causing a mess in the heart of Russia.
The Cossacks Guards of Krasnov in the Don River area and the "volunteers" of the North Caucasus A.I. Denikin rebelled one after another, established a rebel government, and began to expand the rebellious armed forces.
In the middle of the year, due to the implementation of the food monopoly of the new Tsarist Russian government, party members from all over the country took the opportunity to support the rebellion and established an anti-workers regime. The situation was in chaos. By the beginning of 2019, the new Tsarist Russian government lost three quarters of its territory and fell into a dangerous situation of being attacked from all sides.
In this unprecedentedly tragic civil war between Tsarist Russia, the harsh battlefield conditions and always accompanied by famine, a total of more than 10 million people died, causing heavy damage to Russia's strength.
They are already miserable enough, and there is no need for Li Fushou to get into another move.
Therefore, the two female grand dukes Taziana and Maria who were always stranded in Vladivostok turned a blind eye to the request of the empire to support the restoration of the country and ignored it.
In Li Fushou's view;
These two female aphrodisiacs have no ability and think that relying on the noble bloodline of the Romanov dynasty can unite people's hearts, which is simply delusional.
To say something bad
Even if Nicholas II was resurrected, the White Army leaders and numerous local governments who have now launched rebellions across the country would not obey his orders.
These Tsarist Russian separatist warlords have different interests, no one is willing to be subordinate to others, and their demands are also different. Even gods cannot satisfy them, and it is even more impossible to integrate them into a combat-capable army. This is purely a fantasy.
When the Tsarist Russian Empire collapsed, tens of millions of troops were unable to stop the huge social changes.
With the insignificant influence of the two female grand dukes, they wanted to turn the tables against the wind and fight against the powerful Russian workers' government after the integration, and they had no chance of winning even one in ten thousand.
The people from the Russian Far East Governor's Office encouraged the two female grand dukes to restore the glory of the Romanov dynasty. In fact, the idea was to launch the Ocean Empire and use the prosperous military power of the Ocean Empire to attack the Russian workers' government.
How could such a small plot escape Li Fushou's vision?
Therefore, Li Fushou was also not satisfied with the two Tsarist Russian royal daughters-in-laws.
In mid-March, the twelve and fourteenth sons of the emperor will follow the Crown Prince Li Siyuan to visit Vladivostok in the Far East. This trip will determine the fate of the two female grand dukes of Tsarist Russia.
If you come back obediently and get married and have children, then everything will be free.
If he still thinks about it, Crown Prince Li Siyuan will use the power of the crown prince to abolish these two marriages with the Tsarist Russian royal family and completely cut off their fantasies.
If you fall in love with it, go wherever you make a fuss. Anyway, the empire will not be with you anymore. At most, by the end of 2019 or early 2019, a division stationed in Vladivostok will retreat to the country and end overseas dispatch missions.
Find out the reason
The empire was not interested in the cold territory at all. Alaska has only tens of thousands of people so far. Is Siberia very fragrant?
In the post-war period
The empire implemented the overall contraction strategy, tried to restrain its edge, minimize geostrategic conflicts with Britain, France, Russia and other countries, keep a low profile, avoid a full showdown with the UK, further accumulate and strengthen national strength, and wait for the next opportunity to explode and export.
