Presidential Palace, Hanking, June 1, 1917, 2758 AD.
"Mr.
Wen, the statistical results of the Faroe Islands naval battle have come out."
Military Secretary Gu Xiaoyuan placed a document in front of Wen Desi.
"Okay, I'll take a look later."
Wen Desi nodded and continued to look at the documents in his hand.
"Oh, Mr.
Wen, and this, sister Xiaolan wants you to sign."
Gu Xiaoyuan took another document to him.
"What is it?"
Wen Desi took it over and looked at it, but it was a form to receive special subsidies for Children's Day.
"Oh, this is it."
Wen Desi signed his name with an embarrassed face.
Gu Xiaoyuan put away the form and took a one-yuan silver coin from a wallet to him.
Of course Mr.
Wen is not a child, but his son is, and this is what was issued to his son.
Of course, it is not just his son who has it, but all legal citizens under the age of 14 with Chinese nationality have it.
The money is not much, just one yuan per person.
People from all over the country can collect it at their village committee or neighborhood committee with their household registration book.
If they are too young, their guardian will collect it on their behalf.
This Children's Day special subsidy has been distributed for three years, starting from the year the European War broke out.
This is thanks to the European War and to the European people.
In recent years, China has increased benefits not only in China, but also in medical subsidies, education Subsidies, non-staple food subsidy and other items that are enjoyed by the whole people.
In addition, there are also items that are enjoyed by some people such as military dependents and martyrs' allowance, remote and difficult area allowance and so on.
Of course, most of these benefits are modest.
Because Wen Desi did not intend to turn China into a high-welfare country, he believed that it was enough for the government to ensure the basic living conditions of the people and ensure that no one in the country died of hunger and cold.
If you want to live a good life, you have to rely on yourself.
You can't let those who are indolent and indolent live a better life than laborers.
The documents he is looking at now are the draft bill on the treatment and prevention of crimes committed by the aboriginal people in the new territory, the draft method on village consolidation and population relocation in the new territory, the draft method on education and promotion of Chinese culture in the new territory, and the investigation report on the extinct Chinese countries in Nanyang.
These documents were submitted by the "New Territories and Overseas Provinces Management Committee".
This "New Territories and Overseas Provinces Management Committee" is generally referred to as the "New Management Committee" and is mainly responsible for the management, construction and immigration of the new territories.
The chairman of the committee is Yuan Shikai, Vice Premier of the State Council.
After reading several documents, Mr.
Wen's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but said to himself: "This Yuan Datou is really ruthless.
He can come up with such a shameless idea.
It's too ruthless.
It seems like let him do it."
This job is really suitable” "Xiaolan, please take the time from Vice Premier Yuan of the State Council to come here in the afternoon.
I want to consult him in person about these documents."
Wen Desi called the secretary's office through the intercom.
Only then did he pick up the statistical document about the naval battle in the Faroe Islands and read it.
"Oh my God, the Americans were beaten so badly. 150,000 people died in this battle.
The Faroe Islands were not even occupied."
Wen Desi was shocked by the number of American casualties on the document.
The Great Battle of the Faroe Islands was a tragic battle in which both sides suffered losses.

In this battle, Germany lost six dreadnoughts including Kaiser, Friedrich der Grosse, Helgoland, Thuringia, Rhineland, and Posen, as well as Deutschland, Hannover, Silesia, Lorraine, Mecklenburg, Zalingen and other six pre-dreadnought ships.
Also lost were 12 light cruisers, 33 destroyers and large torpedo boats, 11 submarines, and 389 aircraft.
In addition, six super-dreadnought battleships, including Baden and Saxony, as well as 5 light cruisers, 23 destroyers, and 3 submarines were severely damaged, and almost all surface ships were injured.
The losses of the United States were even greater.
They lost fourteen battleships in this battle: the USS New York, the USS Texas, the USS Nevada, the USS Oklahoma, the USS Pennsylvania, the USS Arizona, the USS Idaho, and the USS Tennessee.
USS Wyoming, USS Arkansas, USS Utah, USS Delaware, USS North Dakota, USS South Carolina, four armored cruisers USS Memphis, USS Seattle, USS Charlotte and USS Missoula, and seven temporary aircraft carriers.
Also lost were 18 light cruisers, 49 destroyers, 7 submarines, 67 auxiliary ships and merchant ships, and 561 aircraft.
In addition, five super-dreadnoughts, including the USS Colorado and USS California, 7 light cruisers, and 28 destroyers were severely damaged.
All surface ships are in trouble.
Some of the battleships lost by both sides were sunk and damaged by torpedoes and aircraft from light ships in the later stages of the battle.
One of the audacious German submarines set a record by simultaneously sinking a battleship and an armored cruiser, and severely damaging a battleship.
The submarine numbered U68 did not leave like the other submarines.
It stayed quietly to observe the wind.
After seeing the US fleet begin to search and rescue people who fell into the water, my vigilance was greatly reduced.
The submarine found a good position, fired all its torpedoes at several American battleships, and then ran away.
The two unlucky children, the battleship South Carolina and the armored cruiser USS Missoula, each ate two 600mm oxygen torpedoes.
The South Carolina was blown into two pieces and joined the "Deep Sea Fleet".
The Missoula was the most unlucky.
Originally, U68's target was the battleship New Mexico, but this guy didn't know what he wanted to do, so he chose to run over.
As a result, he successfully blocked the thunder for his teammates, but he was blown over.
White belly.
The flagship USS California was also unfortunately hit by two torpedoes, but its defense was much higher than those of the old dreadnoughts and cruisers, but it was only severely damaged.
The captain of this legendary U68 submarine is called Karl Denitz, who has just been the captain for more than three months.
In this battle, both sides not only suffered heavy losses in ships, but also suffered huge casualties, as of yesterday.
A total of more than 12,400 German army and navy soldiers were killed, nearly 20,000 were wounded, and more than 800 were captured.
In the United States, more than 152,000 people were killed or missing in battle, 90% of whom were from the Army.
These were basically the results of submarine battles.
In addition, more than 30,000 people were injured and more than 300 people were captured.
Now the German Ocean Fleet has withdrawn and returned to China for recuperation, and the American fleet that opened the northern route has also arrived in the UK, and the British shipyards are repairing this scarred fleet.
As the German Ocean Fleet, the most threatening force, retreated, the Faroe Islands were left alone.
Yesterday, the U.S.
Army landed on the Faroe Islands under the cover of British and American naval ships and was engaged in a fierce battle with the island's defenders.
The Germans did not have many defenders on this island.
They only had one army division and one artillery regiment, plus some marines and naval aviation pilots, with a total number of less than 25,000 people.
However, the United States came up with three divisions and auxiliary troops in one breath, with a total number of more than 90,000.
The Americans are also red-eyed now, and are preparing to use their overwhelming force advantage to drive away the two virtues on the island in one go.
After the news reached the country, public opinion was in an uproar.
Just kidding, since the founding of the United States, so many people have never died in a battle.
What’s more, most of these people died too grievously and were drowned.
You know, in the history of the original time and space, Americans have been Only 100,000 people died in the First World War, and this guy accounted for more than half.
This makes the Americans feel so embarrassed.
Therefore, the Americans were also angered.
The outraged American people took to the streets one after another, demanding revenge against Er Dezi.
Long queues formed at recruitment points everywhere, and the majority of the people enthusiastically joined the army.
The House and Senate unanimously passed the troop surge bill, preparing to form another 100 divisions.

Yesterday afternoon, President Wilson announced a nationwide mobilization, and all domestic factories and enterprises were transferred to a wartime mechanism.
While they were working hard to produce weapons and war supplies, they also placed large orders with China.
President Wilson publicly stated: Let’s fight to the bitter end and we will fight the Erdezi to death.
It is not clear who will win the Faroe Islands sea battle.
Anyway, both sides declared themselves the victors.
Judging from the results of both sides, the Germans definitely won.
But the Americans have also achieved their goal of opening up the northern route.
Although they have not yet completely captured the Faroe Islands, it is only a matter of time.
Objectively speaking, Germany achieved a tactical victory, while the United States achieved a strategic victory.
Now that three American divisions have successfully reached the British Isles, this is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the British who are struggling to support themselves.
The whole of Britain was cheering because the arrival of the American troops did not just mean reinforcements, but symbolized the breaking of the German blockade of the British mainland.
This can be called a turning point in the First World War in this plane.
In the afternoon, Yuan Shikai, who received a notice from the Presidential Secretariat, rushed to Wen Desi's office.
After the two sat down, Wen Desi poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Brother Rong'an, I have read these documents.
They are very good and very imaginative.
However, there is a problem. , can you elaborate on this method of opening up gun bans to Chinese immigrants in new territories?”
"Haha, Xinghai, this is how we think about it."
Datou smiled and explained: "The purpose of opening the gun ban is to stabilize the new territory as soon as possible and allow Chinese immigrants to have a higher status."
They have already thought carefully about the issue of allowing native immigrants to legally carry guns in new territories.
Yuan Datou and his men believe that the new territory is different from the mainland, and it is certainly good for the local firearms to be strictly managed.
But the new territories are different.
Especially many of the natives in the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia are fearful and unethical guys, because there are even cannibals among these people.
To deal with such barbarians, it is most direct and effective to use "criticism of weapons", because they only understand this and only obey this.
If each native immigrant has a gun in his hand, the speed of national integration will be faster, and it will also be very beneficial to the security of the new territory
