Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Although he joined Hans Empire Worker D and became a man of the hour, now, he is still just a small figure and has not made any waves on the world stage.

He is a truly unknown little person.

However, the wheel of history is slowly rolling forward, and no one can stop it.

To use a cliché, the stage has been set, and all that remains is time.

This former combat hero seems to have some unusual abilities in speech.

And this small party with only a few dozen people is growing rapidly after he joined.

After Lin Yi learned that he still followed the historical trajectory and joined this small party, he just smiled lightly.

Now Lin Yi doesn't have that much leisure to pay attention to him.

He was observing something else now.

That was the matter of regime change in the Hans Empire.

Under pressure from the domestic workers' strike, Wilhelm II had to announce his abdication.

This emperor who dedicated himself to fighting for the Hans Empire brought misery to the Hans Empire in the last years of Hans' reign.

Who would have imagined that, having already won a battle, in the end he could only leave with regrets.

After Wilhelm II abdicated, his Marshal Hindenburg became the leader of the country.

William II took his family to South Africa, the largest colony of the Hans Empire in Africa.

When Lin Yi saw the ending of William II, he felt sad in his heart. Who could have imagined that the once arrogant William II would step down because of this financial crisis?

However, this is not Lin Yi's focus. His focus is Hindenburg.

Hindenburg was qualified as a soldier and a marshal, but as a national leader, he was somewhat unqualified.

Wilhelm II shook his head at the unemployment rate. If Hindenburg was given the job, what else could he do?

He could only continue the policies of William II and try his best to appease the bankrupt workers.

However, Lin Yi knew that it was Hindenburg who finally pushed the Hans Empire and completely turned the Hans Empire towards war.

Time soon came to 1922. In the past year, the entire world was basically at peace, and no war broke out in the entire world.

After experiencing the economic suppression of the Rhineland Republic, the Gallic Empire experienced a world-class financial crisis. Finally, with the help of Bactria, the John Empire, and Millican, it gradually recovered its vitality.

The Hans Empire is still half-dead, but it is better than before. The citizens of the Hans Empire can barely survive now.

Of course, this includes the occasional assistance from the Great Xia Empire, as well as the war indemnities given to the Hans Empire by the John Empire, the Gallic Empire and other Allied Powers to reach the current situation.

If Hans Empire only relied on itself, his situation would be even more difficult than it is now.

As for development? Sorry, the current Hans Empire has not even recovered to the level before the war, let alone developed.

After losing the Rhineland Industrial Zone, the Hans Empire's industrial production capacity dropped significantly.

The current industrial production capacity of the Hans Empire is approximately equivalent to that of around 1890.

Even worse than the Hans Empire was the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Now the Austro-Hungarian Empire has become a historical term.

The original Austro-Hungarian Empire was split into more than a dozen countries, large and small.

The more powerful countries include Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Serbia.

But these countries are basically second- and third-rate countries. To put it harshly, some of them cannot make it to the top.

As the three giants of the Allied Powers, the Ottoman Empire is not in a good situation now.

First of all, he also faced the same situation as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, that is, there were too many domestic voices demanding independence.

The Balkans and the Greek Peninsula are all demanding independence, and the Ottoman Empire also shed its last drop of blood in World War I. They are simply unable to deal with these voices demanding independence.

The current Austro-Hungarian Empire can only adopt a defensive strategy to defend some important areas and cities and give away some unimportant cities and areas.

As a result, the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina were established in the Balkan Peninsula.

On the Greek peninsula, the Kingdom of Greece also declared independence. This pushed the Ottoman Empire's sphere of influence back to the vicinity of Istanbul.

Do you think it's over here? No, no, no, that's not even close.

In the southern part of the Ottoman Empire, the Kingdom of Persia and the Kingdom of Najd raised the banner of resistance.

With the secret support of the Johns, the Persian Kingdom almost instantly occupied the vast area east of the Persian Gulf.

The Kingdom of Najd, also with the support of Bactria, basically occupied the entire Arabian Peninsula.

At this time, it is worth mentioning that when the Kingdom of Najd unified the Arabian Peninsula, other regions were easy to fight, but the Johns entrenched in Yemen and Oman were not so easy to fight.

However, at this time, the Johns already knew that the people of Bactria were behind the Najd Kingdom.

They were unwilling to conflict with the Daxia people at this time for the sake of the Nejd Kingdom.

Therefore, under the instruction of Daxia, after the John Empire and the Kingdom of Nejd signed a treaty of friendship and mutual assistance, they happily left Yemen and Oman and handed over these areas to the Kingdom of Nejd.

When Lin Yi saw this agreement that only stipulated that John's Empire merchant ships could navigate the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, he wanted to laugh.

This group of Johns would probably not even be able to imagine what the real wealth of the Najd Kingdom is even if they were beaten to death.

Now seeing that after they only had a free right of passage, they withdrew from the Arabian Peninsula, which they regarded as nothing but sand, Lin Yi felt that he had made a profit.

However, Lin Yi did not plan to exploit the oil in the Arabian Peninsula now. At least, he wanted to let Daxia establish a firm foothold in the Najd Kingdom and gain the friendship of the locals before exploiting it.

As for the money spent now on the Kingdom of Nejd, it should be regarded as the initial investment made by Daxia.

After the John Empire voluntarily withdrew from the Arabian Peninsula, Daxia supported the Najd Kingdom even more unscrupulously.

It was not until the beginning of 1921 that the Kingdom of Najd officially unified the Arabian Peninsula, and it was also in this year that the Kingdom of Najd was renamed "Saudi Arabia".

Seeing the success of Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom of Persia, those Arab brothers who were still under the rule of the Ottoman Empire seemed to see hope and raised the flag of resistance one after another.

The Ottoman Empire was unable to make a comeback, and in the end could only withdraw its effective troops to the Asian Peninsula, which it still had absolute control over.

Since then, a new West Asian plate has emerged.

Here, there is no longer the arrogant Ottoman Empire, but only a chaotic Middle East.

Lin Yi sometimes wonders whether people in a few decades will hate himself now. After all, it can be said that the current situation was caused by Lin Yi.
