Australian Storm 1876

   Chapter 1092 National Policy

   After finishing the discussion on the waterside pavilion near the lake, Li Fushou returned to the harem to wash up. In the afterglow of the setting sun, he strolled along the lake in a refreshing mood, thinking about the current world situation in his mind.

   Now the World War is coming to an end

   The overall situation of the final victory of the Allied Powers cannot be changed. The overall situation of the German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire completely disintegrating has been set.

   Just like the original historical period, the territory of Europe and West Asia and North Africa will undergo earth-shaking changes. The Ottoman Empire alone has split into more than 40 countries, all over the Eurasian and African continents.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was split into the Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, Serbia, Montenegro, the Republic of Croatia, the Republic of Slovenia, the Republic of Macedonia, the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a total of 10 countries, each with a small territory. Fragmentation is present.

  In Europe, except for Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia, the other five countries are insignificant. The new world pattern after the war will evolve and will enter the stage of gang formation.

   As the Russian Workers' Party came to power, it triggered a fierce civil war that spread to a wide range, which will inevitably affect new changes in the European situation.

  Although the Empire's millions of expeditionary forces have gathered in Europe, Li Fushou is most concerned about the situation in North America, which has never changed.

  Europe is the core of the world stage. The performances here will help to enhance the world status of Ocean Empire, enhance its influence in Europe, enhance its voice in world affairs, and lay the foundation for a global power. It is the icing on the cake.

   The situation in North America is related to the real opponent of the Ocean Empire in the next 50 to 100 years, and it is related to the core strategic interests and future development space of the empire, and its importance is unparalleled.

  After the Wool War

Imperial capital and influence have entered South America on a large scale. It has already surpassed the United States to dominate South American affairs, and has incorporated South American countries into its own market. When the Europeans have no time to care, they have achieved economic and military expansion. .

   The Western Pacific region, South Asia and Oceania are the basics for the expansion of the empire’s economy. There is a huge population and market here. Only the homeland of China and Southeast Asia can satisfy the empire’s factories.

  The World War allowed imperial commodities to enter the European market unimpeded, which greatly enhanced brand recognition and influence, expanded the reputation of Australian products, and laid a good market foundation.

   But this kind of good thing will come to an abrupt end after the war, and various tangible and intangible trade barriers will have a serious impact on the imperial products exported to Europe.

   Therefore, gaining a stable foothold in Europe was the basic demand of the Oceanic Empire after the war.

At this stage, Li Fushou has established this foothold in Crimea. After the war, large-scale construction in this area is about to begin. Hundreds of thousands of local people have also been forcibly moved out due to the chaos during the war. Some Chinese laborers have arrived in Crimea. Mia, everything went according to plan.

  The next step is to take this land into your hands reasonably and legally.

from now on

  The massive commodities of the Ocean Empire will be transferred from Crimea and exported to the countries along the Black Sea, including Russia, as well as eastern and central Europe. As long as heavy troops are stationed in this region to deter countries, no one will make trouble.

   To engage in trade protection, you must have strength.

  If there are one or two small European countries that don’t open their eyes, they jump out and jump, just to kill the chicken and show the monkey, and beat him without discussing.

It can be said

  Crimea is the big trumpet of the Ocean Empire in Europe, transmitting influence and imperial majesty, and dumping products in Eastern and Central Europe, which is a very important foothold.

  Otherwise, across a long distance, the voice of the Ocean Empire to Europe will become very small, and its influence will not be on the same level.

Li Fushou considered that after the war, the Ocean Empire and the British Empire would form a global factual competitive relationship, the competition between the British Pound and the Golden Ocean in the international financial field, the competition in the military field of maritime power, and the competition in the circle of friends in the political and economic fields. With sharp contradictions, this running-in process will not be pleasant, and it is basically impossible to restore the intimate relationship before the war.

   Then, the relationship between the Ocean Empire and Europe will be based on the reconstruction of Germany, forming two diplomatic bases for Germany and France, and attracting the Italians and isolating the British.

  The Ocean Empire now ranks among the top in the world in terms of economic and military strength. It already has the strength to wrestle with the British and win over some friendly European countries.

   is just a matter of more and less, not of having.

  The influence of the British in Europe is not as big as imagined, and they are not the most beloved masters. If the gun head of Germany is not in the front, the French will first break up with the United Kingdom.

  It has been 4 years since the outbreak of the World War, and more than 3.3 million French citizens have flowed into the empire. Among them, more than 70% are women who escape the war, the rest are elderly and children, and less than half are adult men.

  So many French women flowed into the Empire and established new families here, which became the strong bond between Western and French, the basis for the establishment of close and friendly relations between the two countries.

   French whites also surpassed German whites and became the largest minority in the empire, known as the French.

Li Fushou is quite satisfied with the current population structure of the Ocean Empire. Among the total population of 108 million, the Tang people account for 91.1% of the absolute proportion, the white people account for 8.82%, and the population is about 9.3 million. The indigenous population of the East Indies is insufficient. Seven hundred thousand, scattered in the Pacific Islands, Luzon Islands and Sumatra, have become a useful addition to the multi-ethnic structure.

  Somalia, Mozambique and Madagascar have successively become the second, third and fourth regions in Africa without blacks, realizing the full-scale Huaxia of the population.

   The first is Morocco in North Africa, where the population is all white.

  The Ocean Empire has successively implemented industrialization in Somalia and Mozambique. After so many years of development in Madagascar, the island Chinese population has reached more than 700,000.

The island's economy is dominated by agriculture and planting. Driven by the strong demand of the World War, agriculture and planting have made great progress, forming farms with large and small plantations as the main economy, and establishing a series of agricultural products processing. Plants and oil mills have good prospects for development.

   After Strait Province, the southernmost province of South America, was incorporated into the empire, the Chinese immigrant population also reached more than 230,000 people, mainly in the transportation industry, ship repairing industry and agriculture and animal husbandry economy, and established a small amount of processing industry.

The worst development is Alaska, which was bought from the United States. It is located on the edge of the Arctic Circle and the climate is extremely cold. There are more than 9 months of the year when it is below 0 degrees, and the coldest time even reaches minus 57 degrees Celsius. , worthy of being an extremely cold place.

  Many immigrants who arrived here, because they could not stand the extreme cold climate, successively transferred to the states of the Governor's Palace in North America. Today, the resident population is only 33,700.

  The Imperial Colonial Department has given up its colonization and development in Alaska. This ghost place is too cold and the development cost is huge.

  After World War

  The competition between countries will shift from military to economic and political influence, consolidate their traditional market scope, and participate in European market competition will become a major trend.

   In this magnificent historical process, Li Fushou did not want to see the figure of the American guy, and his experience from the past and present told him;

   No matter at all times, the Americans are a strong opponent.

   Therefore, the constant suppression, containment and division of the U.S. has become the unremitting national policy of the Ocean Empire, and it will remain as always.

With the current strength of the United States, the population is about 40 million, which is not much worse. The economic strength is only one-third of the most prosperous period. In the case of years of wars, immigrants from Europe have also greatly reduced. .

  Many European immigrants were extremely disgusted with war and chose to go to the Republic of California, the Southern Federal Republic and the Republic of Virginia, as well as the newly established Republic of Florida, and a small number of them arrived in the North American Governor's Mansion.

  The United States is now torn apart, but Li Fushou is still worried.

   Looking at the territory of the United States today, there are still world-class heavy chemical industry clusters headed by the Great Lakes region, and world-class first-tier cities such as New York, Philadelphia, and Detroit, whose strength cannot be underestimated.

   Judging from the situation in this year's US general election, the tough Elephant Party presidential candidate William Taft has won big victories in all the constituencies that have been announced, and will enter the White House in Philadelphia.

  Taft was the Secretary of the Army under President Roosevelt. In the original historical time and space, Taft was the successor president, but due to the serious influence of the Wool War, Taft lost the election to the Donkey Party opponent.

   Now, history is returning to its original trajectory in its own way, and William Taft will take the throne of the White House commander with all expectations.

But the current U.S. is no longer the U.S. country 10 years ago. The mountains and rivers are broken, wars continue, a large number of factories are bankrupt and closed, food and other materials are in serious tension, social conflicts are acute, and foreign forces are constantly fighting the fire and fueling separatism. momentum.

   Such a mess, anyone who takes it will have a headache.

  Li Fushou will never give William Taft a chance to integrate the United States smoothly. While the US-Japan war is raging, he is already planning the next opportunity to make a move.

   Judging from the current progress of the North American War

  It is very difficult for Fuso Kingdom to make remarkable progress in the battle for the Central North America.

  The tank and armored units meticulously built by the U.S. military have caused heavy losses to the main force of the Japanese army, while the well-trained army of the Japanese army has a crushing advantage over the militiamen of the United States, and the two sides have formed a dynamic balance.

  Where the U.S. military is defeated, the tank and armored troops will go to put out the fire, defeat the Japanese army who pursued the victory, and restore the precarious situation.

  The vast Central Plains of the United States is a battlefield where armored tank troops can gallop freely. In one day, the armored troops can move 120 kilometers and become firefighters. The Japanese army has no solution to the US tank troops, and the US military has no solution to the Japanese attack.

   Without a solid fortress defense, the U.S. troops were crushed at the touch of a Japanese army, and they were not opponents at all.

   And the momentum of the Japanese attack was not so sharp after repeated setbacks.

   This greatly disappointed Li Fushou. It is true that the mountains and mountains will fall, and the water will flow!

   It's really not good, you have to pick up and pick up the battle yourself, and the battle will be settled.
