Chapter 436: On the Skill of a-Stirring Stick


In fact, although the three West African states of the United States were frequently attacked, the United States was not the most troublesome about colonial uprisings.

After all, they had used black troops to clean up the area before.

Although they were attacked from time to time, the scale was not too large, and their intensity was similar to the "terrorist attacks" in later generations of the original time and space.

The most important thing is that the rebels no longer have a mass base to rely on in the three states of West Africa.

As we all know, for something like guerrilla warfare to be effective, it must have a broad mass base and a settlement that supports them, whether it is a village or a town, so that the guerrillas can obtain rest, supplies, and personnel. location.

Without these locations, the guerrillas would become water without a source and a tree without roots.

No matter how awesome they are, they can only kneel down.

The best example is the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance in the history of the original time and space.

At the beginning, the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance was still very good.

The Japanese were so distressed by them that no matter how they encircled and suppressed them, it was useless.

But later Japan changed its method and directly controlled various settlements, and developed such big weapons as "returning villages and merging households" and "group tribes".

They gathered local residents in the Northeast and cut off the connection between the common people and the guerrillas.

Since the guerrillas could not obtain necessary supplies, they could not survive in the jungle and could only come out to fight face-to-face with the Japanese army, which had superior technology and equipment. , if the guerrillas do not come out to resist, they will have no choice but to starve to death and freeze to death in the jungle.

Under this poisonous move, the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance was defeated.

Similar to this are the "strategic villages" built by the Americans in Vietnam.

Of course, no matter how good the plan is, it must be executed well to be effective.

There is nothing wrong with the Yankees' plan, but the Wu Yanting government that can execute the plan is a bunch of useless pig teammates.

At that time, in order to pursue political achievements, the officials below blindly pursued the speed of construction. .

This has brought about two negative consequences.

One is that the defense force cannot keep up, and the strategic village is in name only and cannot play a defensive role.

The second is the inability to effectively screen, which led to a large number of guerrillas sneaking into the strategic villages and in turn taking over the political power of the strategic villages.

The Northeastern style of returning villages and merging households has turned into the North China style of white-skinned and red hearts.

In addition, the Wu Yanting government itself lacks strength and cannot achieve an absolute advantage in frontal combat against the guerrillas.

Under the drag of these pig teammates, the strategic village plan failed shamefully.

On this level, the environment in the three West African states of the United States is even better.

They don't even need to build "strategic villages".

They have been cleared back and forth many times by the wolf-like black American troops.

Most of the indigenous people have After being killed, the few remaining ones also ran to the British, French and German territories, leaving only a vast and clean land.

The "Freedom Army" that can cause trouble for them now is just a trouble, not even a threat.

After all, the American people are not vegetarians.

In order to deal with these nasty Free Army forces, the U.S. government not only increased the construction of militia forces, but also encouraged civilians to hold arms, not to mention private firearms, even private cannons, private armored vehicles and even private attacks Machines have appeared.

Therefore, most of the black swarms can only move in areas close to the border, because no matter how good they are and how familiar they are with the terrain, they can't escape cars or planes.

Once they are targeted by the Americans, they will definitely not be able to escape.

Of course, after all, the three states in West Africa are too big, and it is impossible for the Americans to block all borders in an all-round way.

The "Freedom Army" can still find loopholes to enter the hinterland, but in order to prevent being targeted, the size of such troops is small.

The scale is small, and the damage caused will naturally be small.

In addition, the number of remaining "Freedom Army" is not large.

An attack of this level is not enough to affect the enthusiasm of Americans to develop Africa.

However, the situation in the British and French colonies was completely different.

Their strength had been severely damaged in World War I, and their wealth could not be compared with that of the United States.

Moreover, the area of ​​colonies that needed to be taken care of was even larger.

This caused air leakage and flaws everywhere in the colony.

Their so-called blockade leaked like a colander, a colander with big eyes.

If the independent strength of the three West African states only caused some trouble for the United States, then the independent strength of the British and French colonies was an out-and-out threat to them.

This was a threat that completely subverted the old order and lasted for hundreds of years. colonialism was already crumbling.

In fact, there is no way to solve this dilemma.

The best way is of course to truly localize the colonies like China, the United States and Japan.

In this way, it will be completely their own territory, and there is no need to worry about any independence movements.

With the rapid development of communication technology and transportation technology, after entering the 20th century, the "imperial wall" phenomenon that troubled the ancient conquerors no longer existed.

The so-called "imperial wall" means that after expansion to a certain distance, due to transportation and communication problems, the central government is unable to effectively manage remote areas.

In the end, it can only end in feudalism or division, or just as what happened in Europe, it is just as a Colonial, not native.

Of course, this was limited to ancient times.

After entering modern society, this is not a problem at all, at least it is no longer a problem on earth.

However, there is also a necessary condition for localizing the colonies, and that is that the population is, to be precise, the core ethnic population.

Without a sufficient number of core ethnic populations, localization is just a piece of cake.

Therefore, historically, the countries that have truly been able to localize colonies have been countries with large populations.

What Britain and France lack most now is population, so they can't do it now and can only watch China, the United States and Japan happily localize their colonies.

However, if you really think about it, Britain actually had no shortage of people, but a large part of them was divided between Canada and Australia and New Zealand.

Coupled with the tragic losses in World War I, it is now lacking.

The most ridiculous thing is France.

They were originally the most populous country in Europe after Russia.

During the reign of Henry IV in the 16th century, France's population had reached 16 million, which was twice that of Spain and four times that of Britain during the same period. .

But because they are keen on "family planning", ahem, you read that right, "family planning" is not a patent exclusive to the Datu Dynasty, and the Gallic Chicken has long been ruined.

Of course, the motivations for the two countries to carry out "family planning" are different, and one is forced by the government and the other is voluntary by the masses, but no matter what, the effects are similar.

Precisely because the French were so advanced in their game, France's population growth almost stagnated throughout the 19th century.

Before World War I, there were only 38 million people.

In a hundred years, the number of people increased by less than 5 million.

This period was the peak period of population growth in other countries.

In terms of population, France was not only surpassed by Germany and Austria-Hungary, but also by the United Kingdom.

They were enjoying family planning, but when World War I broke out, they were dumbfounded.

When the battle is over, they will all cry.

Therefore, the flesh-and-blood grinding mill of World War I was the most fatal to France.

They don’t even have enough local people now.

How can they still have enough people to localize the colonies?

But the French have another advantage, that is, their dominance over the colonies is much stronger than that of the British, especially North Africa, which is just across the Mediterranean.

The most important thing is that their colonies were not strong independent forces in the past.

They were basically soft persimmons, which was completely different from the British.

The British are different.

Their most important colonies, India and South Africa, were powerful independent powers before.

The Boer countries in South Africa, the Mughal dynasty and the princely states in India all have relatively high levels of civilization.

They are completely Conquered by force.

But they did not have the ability to completely eliminate local forces, so they had to give up part of their power and cooperate with the local upper-level.

But this kind of cooperation is based on Britain's absolute military superiority.

Once this advantage is gone, why should they share power with you?

What's more, this power belongs to others.

The British mainland's population is not enough to localize regions such as India and South Africa.

Although regions such as Canada and Australia and New Zealand have localized, their populations are too small and they cannot provide much assistance to the mother country.

So Britain was in tragedy.

They had suppressed the Boers in South Africa by force, and they had only been in power for a few years.

Their rule had been very reluctant.

Now that the British have shown this kind of virtue, the South Africans naturally started to make a fuss.

Not only did the Boers make a fuss, but the black shad also began to make a fuss in other places.

Not to mention the Indian side.

The Indians' anti-British uprisings have never stopped, and they happen every once in a while.

Now they are just more serious.

It's true that "success is the same as failure."

Britain and France, the two colonial empires that relied on their colonies to make their fortunes, are now in dire straits due to large-scale uprisings in the colonies.

In order to suppress the uprisings in the colonies, they have spent a lot of manpower and material resources. .

The target that was originally intended to suck blood has now become a wound from which they continue to lose blood.

Not only did they not get any benefit from the colony, but they even lost their capital.

Especially after two of the "three artifacts of guerrilla warfare", the rocket launcher and the 107 rocket launcher, became popular among the independent armed forces in the colonies, the British and French colonies were like a boiling hot pot.

Yes, Britain is still one of the great naval powers, but its warships cannot get ashore.

What is the most exhilarating thing in the world?

"Watching fire from the other side" is definitely one of the most exhilarating things, if not the most exhilarating.

Regarding the predicament of Britain and France, the great powers of China, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Austria were all gloating about their misfortune.

They did not have colonies, at least in name, so naturally there was no such problem.

Various media outlets are full of ridicule and ridicule of these old colonial empires.

Of course, after the media from various countries severely criticized Britain and France and exposed their dark history, they could not forget to praise themselves, saying that our great country is the hope of mankind and a moral model.

How great and upright they are, what three representatives they are.

Hanking, Presidential Palace.

"What, is the information that the French are going to abandon Madagascar and the British are going to abandon South Africa accurate?"

Wen Desi's face was full of surprise.

These two pieces of information sent early this morning shocked him greatly.

"Yes, Mr.

Wen, we have verified these two pieces of information from various channels.

They are absolutely accurate.

However, the specific date has not yet been determined, and the British upper echelons are very divided on this decision."

Major General Huo Jinsi, director of the National Intelligence Agency, looked solemn. said.

According to his explanation, the French really can't stand it.

For more than three years after the war, they have been severely suppressing the colonies.

The situation in North Africa and West Africa is slightly better because the distance is close and although it costs It cost a lot of lives and financial resources, but was finally suppressed.

But Central Africa and Madagascar have become big pits, and the situation there has never been better.

Although the French still have the upper hand, and the guerrillas were beaten to the point of scurrying, there are so many of them that they can't stand it, and those drugged black milfoils are not afraid of death, and each one is more crazy than the last.

Up to now, the number of casualties caused by the suppression of the colonies has exceeded 500,000.

In fact, the French population, which has just experienced the meat grinder of World War I, is already small.

The French really do not want to waste time with the black hamsters.

The lives of the black hamsters are worthless.

But the life of the noble and cool Frenchman is worth a lot of money.

Rocket launchers were the ones that blew up the Frenchmen.

With the rocket launchers, road transportation was often attacked.

Rocket launchers are even more serious.

Even the originally safe city is no longer safe.

Although the hit rate of these two artifacts is not high, it is convenient if you can't hold them up.

One or two people can pick them up and run away, and they can hit them anywhere they want.

No matter how low the hit rate of a rocket launcher is, it is still okay to hit a city.

No one can stand this kind of day when they are hit by a rocket launcher.

Now the French don't want to go to Central Africa and Madagascar at all, and those who used to be there are all heading home.

One of the reasons is that the dead cannot afford to die, and the other reason is that they spend too much money.

Once the cannon goes off, there will be ten thousand taels of gold.

If it continues like this, not to mention not being able to absorb blood, even the capital will be lost.

There are still a lot of ruins in the country waiting to be rebuilt.

If nothing else, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, etc. must be erected again.

Well, by the way, the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe were originally taken back as trophies by the Erdezi.

Of course, these two items were not worth much money.

The Erdezi did this mainly to disgust the French.

After Wei San came to power, in order to restore neighborly relations with the French, he returned these two items to France.

Of course, they were still in a dismantled state.

I don't know if there were a few missing parts or something.

But the French have had too many things happen after the war, and they have not yet reestablished these two things.

The French made a careful calculation and found that even if they could get Central Africa and Madagascar, the cost would be too high and the time would take too long, so they really couldn't bear it.

Therefore, the French decided to abandon those places that they really couldn't manage and concentrate on North and West Africa.

The situation of the British is similar.

The former empire on which the sun never sets has gone with the wind.

The current British Empire really cannot afford the two wounds in Africa and India, so they also decided to concentrate on dealing with India and South Africa.

Maybe we should just let them be independent.

The British can afford to lose.

Thousands of years of shit-stirring experience have taught them how to choose.

They are not the kind who will vomit after eating.

For the British, although South Africa is also very important, it is not as good as India, the crown jewel.

Moreover, we learned from the intelligence that before making this decision, the British did not forget the shit-stirring stick.

After all, the shit-stirring stick lasts forever, and a stick is passed down forever.

This is their specialty.

Although the Opium Cows were ready to abandon South Africa this time, they did not make it so easy for them.

They insidiously divided South Africa into two parts, including Northern Rhodesia Zambia, Southern Rhodesia Zimbabwe and Nyasalamala.

Victoria was sold to Japan, yes, it was sold.

Japan obviously couldn't afford so much money, but it didn't matter.

Niu Niu had a conscience attack this time and would not accept the money.

They asked the Japanese to use the army to pay the bill, which meant that the Japanese sent out the army to help them suppress the Indian people's independence movement.

Then the remaining Bechuanaland, Botswana, Swaziland, Lesotho and the Union of South Africa merged, on the condition that they send troops to suppress uprisings in British East Africa, Nigeria, Gold Coast and other colonies.

In addition, Britain also promised Egypt that it would give them more autonomy and make them truly independent, on the condition that they suppress the uprisings in Sudan and Somalia.

Of course, this trick of using black to fight black and inciting the masses to fight against the masses was played badly by the great powers.

The British wanted it, and the French also wanted it.

Their conditions for French Equatorial Africa to be independent were similar.

You want to be independent, right?

I can agree to that, but the condition is that you must suppress the rebellion in West Africa next door.

Once that is done, you will be independent.

"This seems to be an opportunity for us."

Wen Desi thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Since they can't control it, we can pay for it, for example, Madagascar is not counted.

Somalia and British East Africa are also possible. " So he quickly arranged for diplomats to contact Britain and France and expressed his intention to buy colonies from them.

According to Mr.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Wen's original idea, since Britain and France were having such a difficult time, they would probably relent, even if they did not buy them all. , there will always be some sold.

But the reality is very harsh.

Both Britain and France rejected China's request without hesitation.

Wen Desi was so angry that he slapped the table and cursed: "These British and French white-skinned devils would rather sell to the devils than to us."

"Mr.

Wen, they also rejected the acquisition request from the United States.

In addition, there is the latest news that the United Kingdom is preparing to hand over Eritrea to Ethiopia."

Kafur said gloomily: "They are obviously trying to separate us from the United States and Japan.

When conflicts intensify, supporting a few thugs in Africa and wooing Ethiopia is stealing our way.

Supporting Japan, South Africa and Central Africa to fight against American and German forces is truly a thousand-year-old troublemaker."

"At the last Washington meeting, they desperately supported Japan's 70% ratio, and it is still the same this time.

Do they really think that this will allow Japan to contain us?

Huh, it is really unreasonable."

This reaction from Britain and France is also normal.

China and the United States are already very powerful on this level.

Britain and France would rather give their land to Japan than let these two take advantage.

"We can't just forget that if they can only be in the first grade of junior high school, don't blame us for being in the fifteenth grade.

Africa is too far away and it's difficult for us to project our power, so we won't be polite here in India," Wen Desi said fiercely. s: Please ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets and various tickets, please subscribe and like:
