Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 614 Kingdom Territory, Population

  October 3, 1890

  The crown prince of the Tsarist Russian Empire, Nikolai Alexandrovich, was the first to represent the Tsarist Empire, recognizing the legal validity of the establishment of the Ocean Kingdom, and offering sincere blessings to His Majesty the King, and thus received a grand hospitality.

  For the Czarist Russian Empire, they are willing to do things that can make the British Empire embarrassing and lose face.

  The second European power to recognize the Ocean Empire, no one thought that it would be France. It happily gave London a hard backstab, enough romantic French people to enjoy it for several months.

  After that, Germany and Austria-Hungary successively recognized the legitimacy of the Ocean Empire. The US government also sent a congratulatory message, expressing congratulations, and hoped to continue to deepen bilateral free trade relations.

  On the contrary, the Qing Empire in the Eastern Continent was slow to respond and did not make any expressions. The inside story is quite interesting.

  Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Gu Yanchuan sent a congratulatory message from a private person, expressing his joy and outspokenness;

  The 48,000 new troops from Guangdong and Guangxi are ready to go. If necessary, they only need to be summoned by an electric call, and they can rush to support Australia at any time in the starry night!

  Master Yue Zhang was willing to commit a big crime to support, Li Fushou was so moved that he was punished in accordance with the Qing law; privately adjusting the army is a felony of the Jiu Clan.

  This can also be seen

Today, the Qing court has a weak influence on the local officials of the territorial territories. After the rebellion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the governors of the provinces have been strong, especially the powerful vassals such as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, as well as the governors of Liangjiang, the governors of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the governors of Zhili and other powerful ministers. , The binding force is almost nothing.

  Fortunately, Gu Yanchuan’s secret telegram didn’t make everyone know, and it saved the court a lot of respect.

  Dream Castle

  This magnificent castle building has been built for more than ten years. The towering spire towers straight into the sky. Against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds, it is exceptionally magnificent and dazzling.

  One after another black Crown brand sedans circled up the mountain road, passing the Guards salute armed with guns on both sides of the road, and soon came to the small square in front of the castle.

  Here, the distinguished guests get off the car and walk, pass the suspended stone bridge, and enter the castle through the heavy castle gate.

Colorful flags fluttered on the semicircular square in front of the main fort. Soldiers armed with guns were dressed in white gowns with golden tassels, red and white gold-plated belts stood solemnly on their waists, and a war knife slung on their waists. More majestic and mighty.

  The ground of the square is paved with heavy and large rock slabs. The traditional glutinous rice paste is mixed with a binder and mixed with shell powder to make it firm and not easy to crack. The square paved by this method is flat and spacious, and it will last forever.

In front of the towering gate of the main fort, there is a huge water-spraying sculpture group, which is a magnificent scene of an army marching out. Li Fushou rides on a tall horse and raises his whip. Is preparing to send his army to the expedition.

  This is not only a totem, but also a metaphor full of symbolism.

  Since landing in Australia

  Li Fushou led thousands of overseas Chinese immigrants to overcome obstacles and build their homes, conquering countless overseas territories through **** battles, and created today's magnificent scene.

  This newly-born feudal monarchy in Australia has a regime similar to that of the German Empire established by King William I of Prussia at the Palace of Versailles on January 18, 1871. It belongs to a federal dynasty with a constitutional monarchy.

  Following the characteristics of the German constitutional monarchy, Li Fushou, King of the Oceanic Kingdom, has broader rights. How does it compare with the British constitutional monarchy?

  The two regimes are the same. Both are the constitutional monarchy that prompted Britain and the Oceanic Kingdom to enter the capitalist society successively. The upper class implemented the feudal aristocratic system and formed a strict ruling class.

  The difference is that the German constitutional monarchy is characterized by the monopoly of power, and the leader has more extensive powers

  The King of England is a symbol of the country. It governs but does not govern. There is no real power. The real power of the country's management lies in the cabinet and the elected assembly led by the prime minister. The relationship between the king and the government is different.

  The Prime Minister of the Ocean Kingdom presides over the government and serves as the chairman of the Federal Assembly, but he is only responsible to His Majesty the King and not to the Parliament.

  The British Prime Minister and the cabinet hold executive power and are directly responsible to the parliament. The parliament has the power to impeach the prime minister and supervise the cabinet’s exercise of executive power. The checks and balances of power are more intense.

  In the Ocean Kingdom, the parliament is composed of the Federal Assembly (composed of state representatives) and the Kingdom Assembly (popularly elected, without real power), and is the legislative body of the Ocean Kingdom.

  The British Parliament is the highest legislative body and the center of executive power, while the Ocean Kingdom Assembly is a subordinate of His Majesty the King. His Majesty has the right to dissolve the Parliament and order the government to re-organize elections.

  Ocean Kingdom is a federal feudal kingdom. At present, Ocean Kingdom has three states in Australia, one capital special region, and two separate territories. They are:

  Capital Special Region (newly designated);

  Includes Red River Valley City, Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu Four Mythical Animal City, covering an area of ​​187,500 square kilometers (the area of ​​jurisdiction has been expanded).

   Directly under the royal family;

  Songjiang City, the capital, has an area of ​​272,000 square kilometers (the scope of its jurisdiction has been expanded).

  Continuing south from Zhuque City, it enters the territory of the royal family. Now the number of towns has grown to 33, including Lianyungang Town, Huai'an City, Yangzhou City, and Jinling City all the way to the capital Songjiang City. There are a total of 5 cities in the region.

From Songjiang City to the south, passing through Gusu City, Hangzhou City, Ningbo Town, Wenzhou Town, Fuzhou City, Xiamen City, Shantou Town, Chaozhou Town, Foshan Town, Songshu City, Zhuhai City, Wisconsin City, Wuyang City, Maoming Town, Edinburgh, Beihai, Novorossiysk, and Beilun on the Kangsby Plateau, face Sydney across a narrow bay.

  Northern Territory (the administrative area is divided from Queensland);

  The capital city of Darwin has an area of ​​1.42 million square kilometers and a population of 216,000.

Queensland;

  The capital of Brisbane, including Qingdao, Burns, Linyi Town and other important cities, the administrative area covers 1.6 million square kilometers (the original administrative area of ​​3.27 million square kilometers, after the division of the Northern Territory, and the capital special region, the scope of the jurisdiction has been greatly reduced).

  Western Australia;

  The capital, Perth, has an area of ​​2.64 million square kilometers and a population of 53,000.

  South Australia;

  The capital, Adelaide, has an area of ​​1.06 million square kilometers and a population of 196,200.

  Except for Australia, the Ocean Kingdom issued Decree No. 1 to change all overseas provinces to states. There are a total of 13 overseas states and one overseas trusteeship under its jurisdiction. They are:

Shangri-La Island’s Eastern Xiangzhou, Xixiang, Borneo Eastern, Southern, Central and Western States, Somali State belonging to the African colony, Southern State of Mozambique, Northern State, and Malawi State (divided from the original Northern Province ), Northwest State, Southwest State and Zambezi State (former province), a total of 13 overseas states.

  An overseas hosting address is Sulawesi, with an area of ​​174,600 square kilometers and a population of 41,000.

The entire Shangri-La Island was divided into two. The former Shangri-La Eastern Province was renamed as Eastern Xiangzhou. The area of ​​Eastern Xiangzhou’s jurisdiction totals 461,500 square kilometers. The capital, Moresby, includes Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, and Yuheng. Important Big Dipper cities such as Kaiyang, Yaoguang, etc., with a total population of 2.41 million, are the granaries of the entire Ocean Kingdom.

The former Shangri-La Western Province was renamed Xixiangzhou. The area of ​​Xixiangzhou’s jurisdiction is 423,300 square kilometers, the capital Jayapura, including the Koi Mining Bureau, Longmen City, Hanhai, Lujia Town and other important cities, with a total population of 874,000. people.

  The 4 provincial jurisdictions of Borneo are all changed to states, which are respectively;

The eastern state (formerly East Kalimantan Province), the capital of Samarinda, is located in the east of Borneo Island, adjacent to the Sarawak and Sabah states of Malaysia in the northwest, and the Sulawesi Sea and the Makassar Strait on the east coast. There are 200 islands and reef beaches. The northern half of Sebatik Island in the north is under the jurisdiction of the British Strait Governor's Office, Malaysia, and the southern half is owned by the state, with a total area of ​​129,000 square kilometers and a population of 1,163,200.

Alibarban, an important town in the northern part of the state, is developing oil fields, and now more than a dozen oil wells with potential for exploitation have been drilled, initially forming a scale with an annual output of about 200,000 barrels of oil, which is the most promising oil in the entire Ocean Kingdom Chemical production base.

In today's world

The total oil production has reached a staggering 27 million barrels, especially the Pennsylvania, Texas oil fields in the United States and the Ploiesti oil fields in Romania in Europe, and more and more oil fields have been discovered, which has potential for future growth. amazing.

Although the output of Alipapan is not high today, it has a particularly important strategic significance and has great potential for future development. Its petroleum and chemical products can replace imports and meet the self-sufficiency needs of the Ocean Kingdom.

The eastern state is the most fully developed area in the entire Borneo, but it is only confined to a small and narrow coastal area, occupying less than one-tenth of the entire administrative area. The inland is still a large area of ​​primitive rainforest. No one cares about it in the past few years.

  Southern State (formerly South Kalimantan Province) is located in the southeast of Borneo, borders the Java Sea to the south, the Makassar Strait to the east, borders the eastern state to the north, and the central state to the west. With a population of more than 520,000 people and an area of ​​43,500 square kilometers, the capital is Machen.

This is the old land of the original indigenous Machen Kingdom. The only indigenous reserve in the entire Borneo is also located in the inland jungle of the state. It is said that it has just experienced a large-scale tropical plague. There are less than 26,000 people. It is really embarrassing when the medical level is very primitive.

The Central State (formerly Central Kalimantan Province) covers an area of ​​153,500 square kilometers. The capital Semuda has important agricultural towns such as Palangkaraya and Sampit. The plantations here are densely covered with a long history of rice, spices, and cane sugar plantations. Tradition is an important source of characteristic agricultural and sideline products. After a large number of Chinese immigrants moved in, they quickly restored their strong productivity.

The state has a total population of 899,300. It is dominated by agriculture and characteristic plantation economy. It produces rice, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, pepper, cocoa, coffee, cassava and other crops. Among them, it is especially famous for the spice trade and its products are exported to South America. Somalia in Africa, South Africa and West Asia are the pillar industries of trade in the region.

   Pontianak, the capital of the Western State (West Kalimantan Province), has an area of ​​about 165,800 square kilometers and a population of about 782,000.

  The first area where the Chinese moved into the Western State. About 300 years ago, early Chinese came here to settle and live and thrive in order to escape the war.

The northern part of the state is adjacent to Lanfang State. In fact, there is no border between the two places. There are only a few security checkpoints on the road. There are usually some militiamen on duty. The inspection of the circulation of personnel and materials between the two places is very lax, as long as the goods are passed through. Taxes and fees are enough, and people can travel freely without restrictions.

The African Territory of Somalia (formerly Somali Province) covers an area of ​​710,000 square kilometers (including 637,600 square kilometers in Somalia, 23,000 square kilometers in Jibuti, and 49,000 square kilometers in Eritrea), with a total population of 527,000 (including 210,000 local black indigenous population).

The Mozambique region of the African Territory covers an area of ​​1.01 million square kilometers (including the Malawi region) and has a total population of 2.31 million. The original 5 provinces are subdivided into 6 states, of which the Northern State (formerly Northern Province) is divided into two , The Northern State and Malawi State were established respectively, plus Zambezi State (formerly Central Province), Southern State (formerly Southern Province), Northwestern State (formerly Northwestern Province), Southwestern State (formerly Southwestern Province), a total of six States.

  I don’t know, I was taken aback.

  Calculate like this

  The entire Ocean Empire covers a land area of ​​5.58 million square kilometers, with a total population of 11.46 million. The region has a developed economy and a high degree of industrialization, and it has initially entered a capitalist society.

Shangri-La Island, Borneo and Sulawesi Island have a total area of ​​1.656 million square kilometers and a total population of more than 6.69 million people. They are mainly agricultural economy and characteristic plantation economy, supplemented by a small amount of industry, and belong to a complete agricultural society. The process of industrialization has just started.

  African colonies have a total area of ​​1.72 million square kilometers, a total of 7 overseas states (Africa), with a total population of more than 2.84 million people, and belong to the agricultural social system.

  Total items

  The territory has a total area of ​​8.956 million square kilometers and a population of more than 20.99 million people. Compared with the statistics in October 1888, the population size exceeded the 20 million mark for the first time, achieving a historic breakthrough.

  The territorial area of ​​the Oceanic Kingdom is directly behind the Canadian Commonwealth, which is slightly inferior, but the gap is not large.

  According to 1890 statistics

The total area of ​​Canada is 9.98 million square kilometers, and the total population has shown a growth trend over the years. In 1870, the statistics were 3.6892 million, in 1880 the statistics were 4.3248 million, and the statistics in 1890 were 4.833 million. It is expected that it will exceed 500 next year. Ten thousand population mark.

  Compare the two

The Ocean Kingdom has a vast area suitable for human survival and reproduction. The land is fertile, mountains and rivers are abundant, and resources are abundant. The Chinese population accounts for more than 91%. There are more than 1.2 million black indigenous populations and more than 490,000 white people. Oceania islands and the East Indies are insufficient. 50000.

The population of the main ethnic group is highly concentrated and has great development potential. In addition, the population is mainly from mainland immigrants, the same language, the same religion, and the same culture. The blood is also flowing, and the recognition of the new regime is high, cohesion is strong, and the population size has further rapid growth. Great potential.

  In contrast, Canada, most of its territory is located in high-latitude cold regions, and most of the areas are not suitable for human survival. Only the South, near the Great Lakes of the United States, is densely populated and has a relatively high level of social development, which has initially entered an industrialized society.

   Canada’s population growth mainly comes from natural reproduction. The number of European immigrants is small, and the future growth potential is not high.

However, the Ocean Kingdom is not without its shortcomings. Its territory is too vast. Especially the African colonies are isolated thousands of miles away, and they are separated from the mainland by the vast Indian Ocean. They are only connected by the vast ocean. Perhaps this is the true meaning of the Ocean Kingdom. Where.

  　 I finally held back this chapter, checked the information for a long time, and kept looking through the statistics in the previous chapters, it was really overwhelming.

  　　 Stop talking about the code word, see if you can code another chapter today?

  　　 Routinely ask for monthly pass and ask for recommendation.
