Dominate the Country
Chapter 1068 World War I
Ekdahl has retired. As the first European scientific and technological talent to come to China, Ekdahl obtained Chinese nationality very early. At the crossroads of life, he chose China without hesitation and abandoned Sweden, which he once deeply loved.
The latter makes people lose hope of the future. Sweden can no longer pursue the glory of Gustavus II. This is because they gave up their last hope with their own hands. Stupid Gustavus III, stupid Gustavus IV!
So during the Franco-Russian War in 1812, the Swedes sat idly by and allowed the British to pass through Swedish waters at will to deliver supplies to Russia. Ekdal did not find it strange.
Michelle, who was far away in Singapore, was shocked by what she saw on the playground, but Ekdal felt that this was just reincarnation.
When he first arrived in China, he was taking physical education classes at his university. Those young people who were receiving higher education, those who were the hope for China's rise, all picked up wooden spears and fought with each other, and everyone could surround them. It was easy to run five laps in the big playground. At that time, fat people were not seen in schools, unlike now.
Ekdal's grandson is a mixed-race child, but even though he has Swedish blood flowing in his body, Ekdal believes that he has become completely Chinese.
A mixed-race person who speaks Chinese, studies Chinese history, celebrates Chinese festivals, and eats Chinese food is still considered a mixed-race person?
Ekdal and his family believed in God devoutly, but his children were wavering about God, and his grandchildren really didn't care about God. More than once, Ekdal saw his grandchildren carrying prayer beads and talismans.
Michel is a firm believer in the "Yellow Peril" and has long identified China as a greater threat to the Old World than the Americas. But Ekdal doesn't think so. As a naturalized citizen with a certain social status, Ekdal is very aware of China's power.
Even Ekdal felt that the whole of Europe united could not be China's opponent. Compared with the population of both sides, the economy of both sides, and the industry of both sides, how could Europeans say they were resisting China? In what aspect do they have the upper hand?
It is only possible that they can completely win Tianfang World over. However, the current Tianfang world is China's ally, whether it is Ottoman or Persia.
"...I joined China many years ago and brought my younger brother to China, but this does not prevent me from still loving my motherland deeply." The old Ekdal was writing about himself Memoirs. The so-called memoirs are all lies. No one would not put some makeup on themselves, and Ekdahl was no exception. He also dressed up as much as possible in his notes, so first of all he couldn't 'forget' his love for Sweden.
"Since the news of Russia's refusal to negotiate peace with China spread in early spring, the whole of China has been boiling like a pot of boiling water. It is a trivial matter for three hundred thousand new soldiers to join the army. If His Majesty the Emperor is willing, even one million new soldiers can do it. Gathered quickly.
China's power is beyond the imagination of European politicians and civilians. The human advantage is only a small part, and the material advantage is the real advantage.
China's steel production is more than that of the whole of Europe combined. The arsenal here can produce countless guns and cannons every year. Even if it has an army of five million, I believe that China can defeat them in at most two years. Fully armed. China's financial generosity is even more difficult to match in Europe. Even the British, who have the most abundant finances in the Western world, have not increased their fiscal deficit in recent years. When did the Chinese have a fiscal deficit? When did you hear about the Chinese issuing bonds and treasury bonds? "
"There are not as many people as China, there are not as many weapons as China, and there is not as much money as China. In addition to temporarily ensuring the security of Europe due to the long distance, what capital does Opalo have to compete with China?"
"As for the war between a single European country and China, yes, I am talking about Russia. It is a contest between dwarfs and giants..."
Chen Ming didn't know that at this time, an old man in the family home of a certain university in Shanghai was writing his memoirs. He hasn't seen any Europeans around him for a long time, and all his old friends have passed away. Chen Ming had no intention of making friends with the second group.
At this time, Chen Ming was thinking about how to make a speech. He wanted to write a letter to Alexander I, but this letter was not to be sent to Alexander I, but to be published publicly in the "Zhongyuan Daily".
Even if it is to be delivered to the Russians, the Europeans must find their own way. Chen Ming's appetite was greatly increased. Not only did he directly tell Alexander I that he wanted to ruthlessly destroy Russia, but when the peace talks resumed, the dividing line of the land would no longer be the Volga River, but the Don River. And directly demanded huge military compensation from Russia - 1 billion Chinese yuan in gold. Yes, gold, Chen Han only wants gold.
Even if this letter reached Russia, Alexander I would not be able to agree to it. He would have agreed long ago.
But Chen Han can be said to have added fuel to the fire, striking while the iron is hot, making the already turbulent society even more boiling.
And what the Chinese people could not have imagined the most was that at this time, a sensational news came from the East - China and the United States went to war. The Chinese and American fleets clashed in the waters of the Florida Peninsula. The Chinese side sank a 500-ton frigate, killing and injuring 153 naval officers and soldiers, and the American Garrison declared war on the United States the next day. This was Chen Han's previous decentralization of the American Garrison, followed by large and small vassal states, which declared war on the United States.
This news quickly spread to the other side of America through Panama, and then was sent to the mainland at the fastest speed. In fact, Chen Ming didn't know yet that just five days after the motor sailboat left California, another sensational news came to the west coast of America - Portugal also declared war on China.
Now that Portugal has gained "independence" and "autonomy", several important cities and strategic points are all controlled by the British army. Although the Portuguese royal family has returned to Lisbon, this cannot change the fact that his power has fallen. So, Portugal also waded into this muddy water.
However, although Chen Ming, who received the news of the American Incident, did not know that Portugal had declared war on China, he had already thought of this in his mind.
Obviously, this was something that the Europeans did. Taking advantage of the opportunity that China was at war with Russia, they took the opportunity to encourage the United States and Portugal to make trouble in America, and even Spain. Isn't the entire Iberian Peninsula now controlled by the British? The only difference is that the anti-French forces in Spain are stronger. Although they accept the support of the British, it is impossible for them to all surrender to the British. But unfortunately, the Spanish royal family has a particularly bad reputation, whether it is Carlos IV or Ferdinand. The farce of the struggle for power between this father and son made Spain lose face in Europe at that time.
But no matter what, the Spaniards still have a certain degree of autonomy.
But the lips and teeth are cold. Without the United States and Portuguese Brazil on the American continent, can Spanish Argentina still exist?
This American Incident is not the worst news. The worst thing is that Spain and Portugal join hands with the United States to declare war on China.
This may be the best solution the British can come up with, right? Letting China go to war on two fronts would inevitably greatly disperse China's power. If they vigorously aid Russia or America at this time, it may not be impossible to turn the situation around.
At least, their chances of victory are much higher than simply fighting against China on the Russian battlefield.
This is also the best choice for Europeans.
Chen Ming was surprised at first. He had thought that Europeans would fight China now, but he always felt that this possibility was not great. He believed that even if Napoleon had colluded with London, it would take some time to cultivate the trust between the two sides.
If both sides withdrew their troops, it would be guaranteed that the other side would not take advantage of the situation?
Without such a premise, how could Europeans intervene in the war on a large scale?
Chen Ming thought about it many times, and finally believed that the possibility of a war between the East and the West was not great.
Although the British navy could ensure that even if their army was empty, Napoleon could not reach the edge of London. However, it is impossible for France, Prussia, Spain and other countries to withdraw troops on a large scale, because they are all in a situation of mutual restraint. If one's troops suddenly weaken, the nest of that family may not be protected. Moreover, France has a blood feud with Russia, Portugal, and Spain, so they are not suitable, except that the relationship between the United States and France is acceptable...
But the facts prove that Chen Ming underestimated the Europeans. The British are really very courageous, and the courage of the Lighthouse Country is also unexpectedly strong.
After the previous defeat, Washington knew how powerful China was. Even if the main force of the American garrison has returned home, the defense force still left in America is at most 30,000 or 40,000. If the troops of the vassal states are added, it is not difficult to gather more than 100,000 or 200,000 people in North America alone.
The strength of the Americans, plus half of Brazil and the whole of Argentina, does not have the power to sweep the Central America in one fell swoop. Aren't they afraid that the Chinese reinforcements will arrive and they will suffer another big defeat?
Thinking so, Chen Ming suddenly slapped his head.
It's not that they are not afraid, it's because the Europeans and Americans are afraid that they are fighting desperately now.
China and Russia are fighting, and this is the best opportunity for the United States and Spain. Otherwise, if China eliminates the threat of Russia and turns back to sweep America with all its strength, how can the Lighthouse Country resist?
They still have a chance of death if they fight now, but they will be dead by then.
Europeans are very smart, they chose the best time.
Chen Ming put himself back in the chair and looked up at the tall roof beams of the hall. Is this a real world war? Or is it a war between the East and the West?
