"Your Majesty," Princess Katrina Kaaf asked softly, because the Emperor had not spoken, silently looking at the German scenery outside the train.This made Princess Katrina Kafu wonder if the Chinese emperor was regretting leaving Germany like this President Meng turned his face and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I don't feel it at all, that's a lie, now, we can only rely on ourselves From this moment on, Huaguo will no longer have the help of the outside world, and it will completely need to rely on its own development." ”"Well, don't be afraid, our great power heritage is not comparable to these European countries, they have been in the industrial revolution for one or two hundred years, and prosperity is only temporary prosperity, it is all an illusion."
Princess Katrina Kaaf replied."
Don't you think that these countries have an unusual hatred of China, the German army and the British navy, all of which need strong industrial support.There is no industrial capacity in the world that pops out of thin air, China's industry is only in its infancy, our current industrial capacity, at least half a century behind Britain and Germany, France, are old industrial powers, with the current international environment, it is impossible for countries to let a new industrial power be born, especially for our country, because China has been the world's first power for thousands of years, even if it is temporarily backward, the West will not be stupid enough to cultivate China, which is the simplicity I thought at the beginning.
This trip to Europe is of little significance, and the only gain is the cooperation between Spain and the Netherlands in foreign trade. ”Hua Huang said indifferently."
Maybe so, but it's a good trip, at least, Your Majesty came to make such a trip to ease the hostility between Britain and France towards China."
Princess Katrina Kafu smiled and explained the Emperor.President Meng held Princess Katrina Kaf's hand and said: "Only war can quickly change all this, and the success and failure of everything depends on Wang Dashan and our three divisions that are about to go to southern Afghanistan" "They will definitely live up to Your Majesty's hopes." ”Princess Katrina Kaaf said firmly."
Inform Ekaterina Klimova that the 4th Field Division of the Chinese Army is ready, and as soon as the war in Afghanistan goes well, immediately seize Cairo and the Suez Canal, declare war on the Ottoman Turkish Empire, seize control of Iran, Arabia and the entire Middle East, and urgently transfer five divisions from within the country, so that Catherine is also prepared accordingly, if the Suez Canal and the whole of Egypt are seized, then declare control over the entire African continent, and let the European colonists leave this time, I want to solve the suffering of the people of Asia and Africa for hundreds of years once and for all," Emperor Hua said to Princess Katrina Kaf.Princess Katrina Kaaf was stunned, although she already knew about this plan, once the war with the British started, it would definitely be rolled out, if the Suez Canal could not be captured, it was very likely that there would be a protracted war with the British at the end of the 18th century, when Napoleon Bonaparte occupied Egypt, he planned to build a canal to connect the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.However, due to the French erroneous calculations that the Red Sea was higher than the Mediterranean, which meant that it was impossible to build a canal without locks, Napoleon abandoned the plan and left Egypt in a confrontation with the British.After the defeat of Napoleon, France rebuilt the second colonial empire of France, because the colonies in the Americas were lost to Britain, so France focused on the development of the East, and the opening of the Suez Canal was of greater significance to France.In 1854 and 1856, the French consul in Egypt, Viscount Ferdinand Résebe, was granted a charter by the Ottoman governor of Egypt, Pasha Said.The Pasha authorized Reseb to set up a company and build a sea canal open to ships of all countries according to a plan drawn up by the Australian engineer Aoisnegrei.By leasing the land, the company can operate for 99 years from the opening of the canal.On December 15, 1858, the Suez Canal Company was founded.It took nearly 11 years to force poor Egyptians to dig canals through the desert, and some coolies were even flogged.The project overcame many technical, political and financial problems.The final cost was a whopping £18.6 million, more than double the initial budget.The canal was opened to traffic on November 17, 1869, and this day is designated as the anniversary of the canal's navigation.In 1875, foreign debt forced Pasha to sell his stake in the canal to the British.This is very interesting, Egypt is a protectorate of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, but Britain has the Suez Canal, and there is no military garrison The Suez Canal communicates the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, and indirectly communicates the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
The distance around the Cape of Good Hope between the port of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and the port of Constanta on the Black Sea is 11,771 miles, and the distance through the Suez Canal is only 1,698 miles, saving 86 miles of distance The Suez Canal is the choke point of communication between Europe, Asia and Africa, and has important strategic value and economic value.In short, without the controller of the Suez Canal, Europe can only take a complicated dry road if it wants to come to Asia, which is almost impossible for Britain, and if you want to send troops to Central Asia by land from the British mainland, even if several major powers implore you to go, a large number of mountain natives in the Middle East and Central Asia will not let you come and go freely, and this possibility is almost non-existent.The original plan of the Chinese emperor was not to take the Suez Canal directly, which was too risky, it was to seize it gradually, and did not even include India in the main battlefield, but wanted to deal with the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which was controlled by the British and relied on the British, to pick the soft persimmon first, and even if it was to touch the British in the end, it was also a practice of leaving room for it, rather than completely expelling the British army.The direct capture of the Suez Canal may provoke the unanimous condemnation of all the powers, which is why in history, the Suez Canal has never been touched, and finally the British sent a small force to take it in the eighties of the 19th century.After a few seconds of pause, Princess Katrina Kafu showed the written order to the Emperor and asked him to sign it.President Meng read it, signed his name without hesitation, and said loudly: "If you want to fight, you have to devote yourself to it and leave no room to watch this time." ”"If we seize the Suez Canal, does Your Majesty think we have the strength to hold it?"
Princess Katrina Kafu was taken aback by Emperor Hua and asked."
Of course, as long as the entire African continent obeys China, no matter what aspect the British Navy comes from, there is no need to be afraid."
President Moe replied bluntly."
Your Majesty is so optimistic that we will be able to control Africa for a while," Princess Katrina Kafu wondered, "The African continent is too big, and there are too many factions. ”President Meng said with a smile: "Do you know why Li Zicheng was able to attack Beijing all the way because of a folk song: Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine and pulp, open the city gate to welcome the king, and the king will not pay for food when he comes." ”Princess Katrina Kaf's comprehension ability is very strong, and she is familiar with the history of China, so she naturally understands which piece of history His Majesty is talking about, and immediately understands: "Yes, as long as we show the people of these areas where there is no sense of national identity, we have a strong strength against the British army, as for who controls them, they actually don't care if they dare to ask the colonies not to pay food, this is something that no colonial empire can do, Your Majesty, I understand" President Meng felt a lot more comfortable after roaring, and said with a smile:" Not only in China itself, but also in all the protectorates of China, do not pay grain to protect agricultural production, we control the economy, and what do we want the peasants to do with grain to control the economy, we control consumption, control consumption, and we have to pick money from the peasants' teeth, and the pattern is too small" "Yes, Your Majesty, I will now send a telegram to Ekaterina Klimova and Catherine, so that they can prepare in advance, and once the Chinese army wins in Afghanistan and India, they must immediately act according to the plan. ”Princess Katrina Kafu smiled and took back the order from President Moe's hand.Hua Huang knew how to do it, but he was not particularly happy, when the war came, even he, a person who had experienced too many ups and downs, was inevitably nervous.Who knows whether the three divisions of the Chinese army will have the ability to eat millions of Anglo-Indian troops, and he hopes that the war can develop as Wang Dashan expected.The Fifth Field Division of the Chinese Army, the Sixth Field Division of the Chinese Army, and the Seventh Field Division of the Chinese Army soon left for Afghanistan, which made the troops in the hands of Zhang Haobo and Gao Yitong suddenly abundant.The field army of the Chinese army is all-round, especially adapted to mountain warfare, and has very strong combat effectiveness."
Your Majesty, Ekaterina Klimova transferred Wang Dashan's inquiry, he was ready not to let the troops rest, and when he arrived at the battlefield, he began to encircle, cut, and annihilate the British army."
Princess Katrina Kafu said to Huahuang, the two-day itinerary has made Huahuang already halfway away, and it is expected that he will be able to reach Central Asia Province in three days, and he will be able to feel the logistics headquarters Herat in four days."
Call back Ekaterina Klimova.Let her be sure to work with Catherine to ensure how to fight the logistics supply line of our army, let Wang Dashan decide for himself, and don't need to ask me in the future, he is in command or I am in command," President Meng replied.Princess Katrina Kafu said: "Okay, I'll call back immediately, Wang Dashan has never had the experience of commanding a large corps independently, and this time he commanded three divisions to fight on the plateau at a time, and his nervousness is understandable." ”"There is no first time, Xuan Jianzhang and Lu Xuan, they and Wang Dashan entered the Chinese army at about the same time."
President Meng said indifferently."
Huaguo does not rely on the ability of a certain person, Huaguo is a huge machine, and it will rotate without anyone" Princess Katrina Kafu nodded, and said in her heart Your Majesty's heart is really big, such a major battle, so it was handed over to Wang Dashan, a novice.t1706231537:
