Chapter 1148 More than enough but not enough(1/2)
With the establishment of the Central Republic and the referendum joined the Ocean Empire, the Ocean Empire expanded its scope to the ten states in the North American Governor's Palace. Minneapolis, the capital of Minnesota, is located northwest of the Great Lakes region, becoming one of the lake-side countries.
Canada and the United States were the first to feel the huge pressure. The Imperial Royal Navy ships patrolling the Great Lakes area often cruised to the waters near Toronto and Pittsburgh, only five or six kilometers away.
From the city tower
You can clearly see the huge hull of the Royal Navy fleet of the Ocean Empire and the huge black muzzle, which is often chilling.
The sailors on the ship pointed at the buildings on the shore, and their leisurely expressions seemed to be wandering around their own back garden.
Today's era
Countries around the world have already clearly defined the 12-kilometer territorial waters, but there is no similar international convention for the lake area. The areas around the Great Lakes have suddenly become shared by four countries, and the problem has become extremely complicated.
Although the Ocean Empire only occupies a small section of the northwest end of the Great Lakes region, it has always been arrogant and domineering and extremely aggressive, which made Britain and Canada feel deeply afraid and heartbroken.
in this case
It is undoubtedly a difficult task to reach a Lake District Convention that takes care of the interests of all parties.
First of all, relying on its naval strength for a while, the Ocean Empire directly regarded the Great Lakes as its own bathhouse, and went wherever it thought and did whatever it wanted. The Ocean Empire was the first to disagree.
It’s so uncomfortable to be restrained, it’s better to be happy!
After 25 years
Regardless of whether the British and Americans agreed or not, the Republic of Michigan held a grand independence ceremony as scheduled, and government delegations from more than 30 countries attended the ceremony, reflecting the huge influence of the Ocean Empire.
The negotiations in Florida were particularly difficult. The British Foreign Secretary Lord Hermann showed a tough attitude, demanding that the Ocean Empire and Fuso withdraw troops from the occupied American states, restore the border line of the Second US-Japan War, release the American captives, etc.
Lord Lee Xiaozu, the Foreign Minister of the Ocean Empire, directly suspended negotiations, took the train through the Federal Republic of the South, the Republic of Arizona to the newly established Republic of Michigan, and attended the grand independence and founded the founding ceremony, without taking the British negotiator seriously.
What a joke, can the fat meat swallowed in the empire still spit out?
Resolutely implementing the will of His Majesty the Emperor and completely dismembering North America is a consistent tacit understanding between the imperial government and will never be repeated.
In the final analysis
Lord Hermann and the London government he represented still did not clearly understand the current situation and had entered the era of two giants competing for hegemony. The international affairs were not decided by Britain, but the two countries had to discuss and handle.
Wishful pressure ended up being overwhelmed.
The Ocean Empire annexed the independence of the Central Republic and the Republic of Michigan, and the steps to advance the stability were not affected at all, nor did it care about the anger of the British and the sadness of the Americans. This made the British lose face, but he was helpless.
Lord Halman complained in a secret letter to London, "In this long and boring negotiation, London played a clown standing in the next yard and shouting loudly; don't do this, don't do this...
Unfortunately, the evil group led by the Ocean Empire has accomplished the purpose of dismembering North America, dividing all the most precious wealth of the Americans, leaving with a burp, leaving only the devastated ones."
The Central Republic was annexed and closely independent from the Republic. Even the vulgar Japanese I followed behind and occupied the two states Missouri and Kentucky, with only the United States being injured.
Really speaking
In this war, the Fuso Kingdom lost the three states near the Great Lakes region, and all of them became the territory of the newly established Republic of Michigan. Its power retreated to the central region, with significant population and tax losses.
The so-called Michigan Republic, which opens its doors to welcome Chinese immigration and capital, is actually a vassal of the Ocean Empire and a loyal dog-legged person.
From the beginning of its establishment, this country has been born with chondrosis. Without the strong support of the Ocean Empire, both countries can eliminate it in minutes every day.
In the third war, the United States and Japan fought hard, but both sides suffered losses.
The Ocean Empire and the Republic of Michigan quietly took away the 11 central states and the heavy industrial urban agglomeration with the deepest development of the United States, which was equivalent to pulling out the steel backbone of the United States and the sharp teeth.
From then on
The states along the eastern coast of the Atlantic Ocean all have economic structures mainly composed of light industry, ocean transportation, port service trade and agriculture and animal husbandry. Their heavy industry strength has plummeted, and their military strength has also been greatly reduced.
The current population of the United States is less than 18 million, mainly composed of the thirteen British states, including world-class cities such as New York and Philadelphia. However, the development prospects are bleak and almost retreated to the level of the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The northern states occupied by the Fuso Kingdom were originally given, and they vomited out again because the Ocean Empire did not allow it to be involved in the Great Lakes area, so they could only occupy more agricultural states Missouri and Kentucky to recover some of the losses.
Perhaps seeing the reality, in March 25, Florida peace talks quickly entered the fast lane. After more than a month of bargaining, the Florida Contract, which affected the entire North American situation, finally reached the Florida Contract.
The United States admitted its defeat, signed a contract to agree to the independence of the Central Republic and merged into the Ocean Empire, signed a contract to agree to the independence of the Republic of Michigan, signed a contract to ced the lands of Missouri and Kentucky, and gave Japan as war compensation.
The United States also recognizes the independence of the Federal Republic of the South, the Republic of Florida, the Republic of Arizona, and the Republic of California, and respects its territorial integrity and is willing to establish equal relations between countries.
The United States made symbolic war compensation to the Ocean Empire, and ensured fair treatment of Ocean Empire capital, protected consular rights and interests, protected personnel exchanges and fair treatment of land purchases, etc.
After establishing mutual boundaries, the Ocean Empire and Japan expressed their willingness to jointly maintain the current peace environment in North America, eliminate the trauma of war, and are committed to jointly building a new situation in North America...
The huge war compensation requested by Japan was not supported, and the US's attempt to regain its territory was not supported. However, the demands of the Ocean Empire and the British were basically met. This is the reality of current world politics.
The UK further deepened its influence in the United States and the Republic of Florida, and established relatively close transatlantic relations with it, demonstrating the strong strength of the old empire.
Needless to say, the Ocean Empire is going to win.
This battle realized the idea of Emperor Li Fushou, completely dismembered the United States, expanded the territory of North America, and tightly controlled the Republic of Michigan, which had strong heavy industrial production capacity, and tied it to the chariot.
After this battle
It has truly established the world pattern of the two powerful forces in the Ocean Empire and Britain, and established the dividing line of interests between the two countries and their respective traditional spheres of influence.
World War II brought back on the verge of a firefight, which is a blessing in disgrace.
While countries around the world were wailing their chests at the same time, they felt relaxed, and the world finally ushered in a prospect of peace.
The great improvement of international status has made the citizens of the Ocean Empire particularly proud. While launching rounds of immigrants in North America, the empire began to do its best to prepare for a major festival, that is, the "50th anniversary of the Holy Land Festival."
The day when the empire founder, Emperor Li Fushou, first set foot on Brisbane Pier on September 2, 1876, has become the most important legal festival in the empire and is called "Holy Land Festival".
September 2, 26th is exactly the 50th anniversary of the arrival of Australia, which is of great significance. The empire will hold a grand celebration as a gift to His Majesty the Emperor and express the love of the people of the whole country.
By then
The imperial capital Chang'an will hold a grand military parade, a grand float parade, a series of sports competitions and poetry singing competitions, a Royal Navy naval military parade in Sydney, a Pacific National Security League summit, an industrial and agricultural product export expo and other large-scale events.
at the same time
The museum of the Daming Palace donated by the royal family will be renovated and will be open to the public. The Imperial Public Hospital will hold a half-month free charity clinic and will also hold a number of charity parties gathered by high-ranking celebrities to raise charity funds.
Various activities will be launched in the local empire and overseas states, such as Qinglong Lake will hold a large-scale dragon boat competition, Seattle will hold a fireworks party, Tianshu will hold a singing competition for 10,000 people, and Seoul, Mozambique will hold a ceremonial ceremony for the inauguration of Dongmen Temple and a sacrificial activity for a million people.
There are many types of large-scale activities, and there are many different types.
This grand celebration began to be prepared more than a year in advance. It is the top priority for current imperial officials and the implementation of the will of the imperial emperor Li Fushou;
"There is nothing more fun than everyone else's fun. Everyone celebrates together, which is what I wish!"
On June 6, 2025, after the signing of the Florida Contract, the situation in North America entered a long-term stable stage.
The United States has sharply reduced its population, and the vital heavy industrial areas have been castrated, losing more than 70% of its population and land, and no longer able to launch a large-scale war.
Its comprehensive national strength and economic output have declined to the same level as Italy, and have become an absolute third-rate power.
In fact
The foundation of the United States' great power has been broken and fragmented, unable to pose a competitive threat to the Ocean Empire, and the entire North America is in a state of fragmentation.
Without comparison, there will naturally be no harm.
Although the major countries, including European powers, have some regrets that America has been dismembered from a powerful country that is bordered by the two oceans and almost exclusive to North America, it has been dismembered into nine smaller countries (including the Northern Republic and the Central Republic under the jurisdiction of the Governor of the North American Administration, and the relevant administrative regions need to be further adjusted), showing obvious fragmentation.
But without the comparison of the power of the United States in later generations, in the historical context of the collapse of the German Empire, Austria-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire, a large number of small countries emerged in Europe, and the situation in North America would not seem abrupt.
Only London was unwilling to accept it, but after the struggle, European countries were bored and unwilling to be involved in World War II again, Britain could only accept the reality helplessly.
Just by yourself
Britain was not sure to overthrow the huge Ocean Empire. It was a behemoth with a population of 130 million and spanning six continents. It experienced the severe consumption of world wars, and there was also a major threat like Russia, which made the British more willing but less capable.
In the 1920s
The new Soviet regime became a communist enemy of Europe. Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Italy were particularly hostile to the Soviet workers' regime, fearing that it would affect domestic workers' organizations, resulting in the situation getting out of control and endangering the entire country's ruling foundation.
The battle for hegemony with the Ocean Empire is the icing on the cake.
However, curbing the spread of the influence of the Soviet regime is a major event that concerns the lives of various countries. Which one is more important, European countries can still understand clearly and understand clearly.
in this case
The Ocean Empire's garrison in the Republic of Virginia gradually decreased from the highest peak of 168,000, and eventually stabilized at about 65,000, and maintained this scale for a long time.
The troops under the North American Governor's Office also reduced from more than 330,000 at its peak to less than 200,000, and more than one-third of the troops were dismissed to save valuable military expenditures in peacetime.
The Imperial Royal Army carried out the second post-war layoff, and the overall military size was reduced by 1/4 from 1.17 million to a low level of more than 880,000 people.
even so
The Royal Army of the Ocean Empire is second only to Russia and France, ranking third in the world, maintaining the field force size of 8 backbone tank armored divisions and 20 Class A divisions.
If the Royal Guard troops were added with a slightly expanded army, in fact, the permanent army of the Ocean Empire slightly exceeded France's 1.08 million troops, about 1.1 million to 1.12 million.
The Royal Guards are mainly stationed in the Luzon Islands, Shangri-La Island and the imperial direct royal territories, including the vast northern areas of Queensland.
This greatly reduced the defense pressure of the Royal Army and allowed a large number of backbone field troops to maintain the security of the entire empire's territory.
Except for local
The main overseas garrison of the Royal Army is mainly in three regions, one in the Republic of Crimea. Although the 2nd Army was abolished, about 200,000 troops remained to this day, and Marshal Duan Qixiang personally guarded it to shock Poland and Tsarist Russia's ambitions.
One is in the North American region, with a total of about 260,000 troops.
One in Libya maintained a military scale of about 130,000 to 140,000 people, and was used to maintain the safe living environment of Chinese immigrants and suppress the local Arab Papapar.
Libya is a vast and sparsely populated arid desert area. Only a few oasis in the coastal areas are suitable for human habitation. The vast hinterland is mainly Gobi and desert, and the climate is hot.
