   Chapter 1113 Going to Europe

  All things are finalized, the empire will implement a comprehensive contraction strategy, steadily build territorial territories all over the world, consolidate the foundation, and comprehensively promote the reform of democratic and constitutional governance.

   accidentally

   A military situation from the Far East aroused great attention from Li Fushou, who pondered for a long time.

  Since Russia's "October Revolution" in 2017, the civil war between the Belarusian royalist armed forces and the workers' government has caused great turmoil in Siberia and Outer Mongolia.

In 18 years, Fusang sent troops to Siberia, foreign countries, Britain, France, and Italy also announced to send troops successively. Soon, the Russian workers' army suffered a great defeat. A large power gap.

   Fusang led its troops to the west, and then supported the Seminov White Army to occupy the Transbaikal region and expelled the Red Army from Kyaktu, which posed a huge threat to Outer Mongolia.

The Fuso Kingdom was not satisfied with occupying Siberia with foreign countries, Britain, France and other countries, and attempted to take advantage of the "Pan-Mongolian Movement" (also known as the "Great Mongolia" plan) launched by the Mongolian Seminov from Buryatia, Russia, to replace the Tsarist Russia's rights and interests in Outer Mongolia promoted the expansion policy of going north to Manchu and Mongolia.

   Who is Seminov?

   His origin is from Outer Baikal, and he is a Mongolian from Buryatia. He was originally a Cossack officer who served in the old Tsarist Russian army.

  Shortly after the October Revolution, Seminov launched a rebellion in Transbaikal, organized troops against Soviet Russia, and actively joined Japan, "the weapons and military uniforms used are all provided by the Fuso government for invaluable supplies."

  In 18 years, under the support of Fusang State, he established an anti-Soviet Russian military dictatorship in Transbaikal.

In addition, the conflict between Seminov's bandit army and the Kolchak government in Omsk, supported by foreign, British and French forces, led to the extreme anger of the Vladivostok Command of the Oceanic imperialists, and the combined British forces coerced the Japanese side to stop the attack on Seminov. support.

  The Seminov bandit army actively invaded Outer Mongolia, trying to use it as a strategic stronghold to establish a "unified Mongolia" including Trans-Baikal and Outer Mongolia, Hulun Buir, and Oirat Mongols,

   Even openly invited the Chinese Manchu and Tibetan people to "participate", openly encroaching on Northeast China, Northwest China, Tibet and other places, causing turmoil in the northern provinces.

   In a word, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys dominate.

   In thinking, Li Fushou's expression became gradually severe. He was not thinking about the Semenov bandit army, but a group of white bandits with more than ten thousand people in the area had not yet seen it in his eyes.

   The key is that Fusang is rampant, once again encroaching on the "Manchu and Mongolia region", showing that under the grand strategy of "Easting North America", it has not given up the strategic attempt of "going north to Manchuria and landing in the Far East", and its appetite is amazing.

   Sure enough, he is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, and he is mad when he is successful.

   It seemed that it was time to recite the Hooping Mantra to the Fusang people. Li Fushou had a plan in his mind, so he turned and strode behind the imperial table to sit down, and began to write with a brush.

   So far, the Ocean Empire’s policy towards the United States and Japan has taken shape as a whole, that is, both suppression and containment.

   Since the beginning of 19 years

  The Ocean Empire tightened its financial credit to the United States and Japan, and exerted strong pressure, forcing the two countries to repay huge loans with more than 70% of government revenue every year, and strictly limit the scale of borrowing new debts to repay old debts.

   After the implementation of this measure, the United States and Japan have been complaining endlessly. Due to the hegemony of the Pacific Empire and the unparalleled military strength of the Ocean Empire, they can only hold their noses and obey.

  From 2019 to 1935, for 16 years, the United States and Japan had to spend most of their fiscal revenue on loan repayments, and very little money could be invested in the military, national economy and people's livelihood.

   Without sufficient financial support, the development of the military power of the United States and Japan is far inferior to the original historical period, and they are unable to launch a large-scale war to resolve the confrontation between North America.

Due to the embarrassing financial constraints, Fusang could only maintain the strategy of advancing eastward to North America, but could not support the strategy of "going north to Man Mongolia". Considering that this move would cause the wrath of the Ocean Empire, the Japanese government was forced to endure the humiliation and change its course, temporarily changing its strategy of going north. Keep it deep in your heart and wait for the situation to change in the future.

  The second item is financial and military support. Under the secret instigation of Li Fushou, the Empire greatly reduced its support for the Kolchak government in Omsk, and the relevant military materials turned to support the Xu warlords of the Republic of China government.

Among them, the army stationed in Vladivostok sent more than ten ships of military supplies to Tianjin Port from sea routes, including 64 wild wolf light tanks, more than 140 half-tracked armored vehicles, more than 400 off-road trucks, 32 96mm artillery, 32 105mm guns Artillery, 200,000 Mannlicher rifles seized from the European battlefield, 16 149mm howitzers of the Austro-Hungarian standard VZ14, countless ammunition, and 30,000 tons of grain, 8,000 military tents and other various materials. .

   So many military supplies are enough to arm 15 infantry divisions, a light armored tank division and two heavy artillery divisions, especially 16 149mm howitzers, which can be described as an unprecedented killer.

   With the arrival of military supplies at the same time, there were also an instructor group composed of more than 100 officers. Their arrival greatly inspired the government of the Republic of China and quickly strengthened Xu Shuzhen's strength.

   4/1/19

General Xu Shuzhen, who received military support from the Northwest Frontier and Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest Frontier Defense, was in charge of the Re, Cha, Sui, Gan, Xin Zhu provinces and the military and political power in Inner and Outer Mongolia, despite the opposition of Premier Jin Yunpeng and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Russians were unable to intervene and resolved the Outer Mongolia issue by force.

   This move can quell the "Outer Mongolia Autonomous Rebellion" and restore the sovereignty and integrity of the Republic of China. On the other hand, it can divert the attention of the Chinese people and reduce dissatisfaction with the pro-Japanese policy of the Beiyang government.

  Three to show military strength and gain political capital.

In the name of patrolling the border, General Xu Shuzhen led an army of more than 7,000 people from Peiping and arrived in Kulun 6 days later. With the force of the wind and the clouds, he swept away the remnants of the Belarusian forces, the Japanese infiltrated forces, and the rebellion of the Outer Mongolian princes and other sources of trouble. Stabilize the situation in Outer Mongolia.

  The third measure is diplomatic pressure. The Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs put pressure on the new Russian government and the Japanese side at the same time, expressing serious concern about the situation in Outer Mongolia, and ordering them to abide by their duties;

   "If you don't know how to advance or retreat, causing the dragon face of the Heavenly Dynasty to be furious, then the mountain will collapse, and the sky and the earth will change color.

obviously

  The new government of Tsarist Russia and the Fusang Kingdom all listened to this serious warning, and they all withdrew their black hands to encroach on the outer Mongolia. Fusang even drastically reduced its infiltration operations in the three eastern provinces to show sincerity.

  The financial confinement curse that the Ocean Empire imposed on Japan and the United States at the same time made it painful for him to live, and he truly felt the power of financial stick sanctions.

   Borrowing money to spend is a pleasure, but being forced to repay the debt is difficult.

   May 17

The 119th Division (Guilin Division) stationed in Vladivostok has about 3,000 people, who are transported across thousands of miles through the Trans-Siberian Railway. Under the guidance of 23 wild wolf light tanks, the soldiers took more than 200 armored trucks. In Lengsk, they surrounded and annihilated the base camp of the Semenov bandit army. More than 27,000 bandit troops and their families were wiped out in one battle. After the war, only more than 4,000 young women and children survived, and the rest were killed.

  According to eyewitness accounts;

  The imperial army came up in the dark, surrounded the bandit army station by the Selengsk Lake, and launched an attack after dawn, which was actually a massacre.

   Most of Seminov's troops were horse bandits. In a desperate situation, they broke out with sabres and rifles, and were swept away by the heavy crossfire of the roof machine guns equipped with the tightly surrounded armored trucks, causing countless casualties.

   After this battle, the Seminov gang was completely removed.

The Seminov gang is a relatively powerful rebel in Siberia. It was attacked by the imperial military and eradicated in one fell swoop. The news spread quickly, which greatly shocked the Russian white bandit gang still stranded in Central Siberia. .

   Everyone knows that the Outer Mongolia region is involved in complex international politics and cannot be easily touched.

   If you want to fight it, you have to see if your small physique can withstand the wrath of the Ocean Empire military.

  Late June 19

  The Ocean Empire arranged for Crown Prince Li Siyuan to supervise the country, and Emperor Li Fushou led a cadre of courtiers to go to Europe to participate in the ongoing Paris Peace Conference summit meeting to discuss major issues such as the division of interests after the war.

  July 5th

  Under the **** of a powerful fleet led by the "Duke of Palawan" and "Duke of Cebu", Emperor Li Fushou and his party arrived in London and stayed at the Earl of Queensland Castle outside London.

   The last time I stayed in the castle was in 1879. 40 years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Built on a 350-foot-high mountain, the Castle of the Earl of Queensland is an exquisite French palace building. After a large-scale expansion in the late war, it has become a well-defended castle complex, which can accommodate a total of 1,200 people including 750 guards. The rest accompany the team.

  The emperor's travel represents the face of the country, and there is no need to be careful and careful, and as the richest royal family in the world, the royal family of the Ocean Empire is not bad for money.

   Standing in front of the luxurious floor-to-ceiling window, Li Fushou looked at the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window. The flowers in the castle garden were full of splendor, and the colorful flowers competed for each other, forming a vivid picture with the towering European-style buildings in the distance, full of strong British style.

   Queen Nicole leaned beside him, looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her, and murmured, "Your Majesty, I have finally returned to the Europa continent. I feel as if I fit in with the soul here. It is the hometown of my dreams!"

   "Concubine Ai's words are bad!"

   "Your Majesty, the concubine is frightened, why do you say that?"

   "Don't look at the good relations between the two countries. England and France have been enemies for hundreds of years.

   "My concubine doesn't understand, why do you have to fight back and forth?"

"That's a good question. War and peace are the eternal themes of human beings. Throughout the history of Europe for thousands of years, decaying empires were destroyed in wars, and modern countries were born in the ruins of wars, symbolizing the game of power between the new and the old. This is also the source of human progress.”

  Speaking of this

Li Fushou lowered his head, looked at the noble concubine Nicole, and said with a smile; "The Normandy earl family has a deep Anglo-Saxon blood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is half English, you can find it here. I am very happy that my soul is at home. I can stay in Europe for as long as I want this time.”

   "Thank you, Your Majesty."
