Expedition to Europe

I'm afraid no one expected that France would refuse the Republic of Sardinia to join. When Alexander Millerand's cryptic statement appeared on the front page of the Daily News, the whole of France immediately cursed Alexander Millerand's ancestors, just as Pierre said.

The parliamentarians publicly ridiculed Alexander Millerand's weakness and incompetence in the newspapers, the public intellectuals made Alexander Millerand into a Christmas turkey in the oven, and the people took to the streets to march, and even openly demanded that Alexander Millerand step down and hold early presidential elections.

At this time, the argument between Pierre and Alexander Millerand in the office spread, and Pierre's attitude was widely supported. His reputation soared, and the people of Paris even began to donate money to support France's acceptance of the Republic of Sardinia with practical actions.

The British and Americans were indifferent. The newspapers published in Britain that day seemed to be soaked in vinegar, and the sour smell could drift to the Far East. Mussolini was full of praise. In Mussolini's words, the French have become friends of the Italians again, and the Italians will join hands with the French to curb the expansion of certain ambitious people.

Joshua Jody is open-minded. In an interview with the Daily News, Joshua Jody said in a calm tone: "Yes, I know the cabinet of three traitors-"

This is really a loud slap in the face. Alexander Millerand left the French Socialist Party 20 years ago, which has become the biggest stain in Alexander Millerand's political career.

Now Alexander Millerand has betrayed habitually again and betrayed the trust of 400,000 Sardinians.

But after scolding, we always have to face reality. An important question facing 400,000 Sardinians is where the Republic of Sardinia will go.

Italy will definitely not go back. After just getting rid of Italy after a hard fight, the Sardinians will not eat this grass back. It's really not delicious. The French route has also been cut off. France was once the best choice for the Sardinians. The Sardinians have long envied the happy life of the Corsicans. It was precisely because of the envy of the Corsicans that the Sardinians separated from Italy. But now that the French have expressed their unwillingness to accept the Sardinians, the Sardinians will not put their hot faces on the cold buttocks of the French.

Now even if the French come to ask the Sardinians, the Sardinians will not join France. Everyone has a little temper.

Britain is not a good choice either. Although British newspapers said sourly after France rejected the Republic of Sardinia, if the Republic of Sardinia wants to join the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom will certainly accept it with pleasure, but in the process of the establishment of the Republic of Sardinia, the British government has always stood on the opposite side of the Republic of Sardinia, which makes the Sardinians unacceptable to join the United Kingdom.

Just when the Sardinians were in panic, a cargo ship from the Far East slowly entered the port of Cagliari.

This is a cargo ship from Lanfang, loaded with rice and canned food. This is Qin Zhiyuan's fulfillment of his promise to the Republic of Sardinia and expressing his support for the Republic of Sardinia with practical actions.

After learning the news, almost all Sardinians asked a question: "Why don't we join Lanfang?"

Once upon a time, Europeans had a strong psychological advantage over Asians. Asia was synonymous with ignorance and backwardness for Europe. Europeans could immigrate to the United States, Australia, or even South America or South Africa, but few Europeans chose to immigrate to Asia.

But the above is all history. The sudden emergence of Lanfang has changed all this. Lanfang is no longer synonymous with ignorance and backwardness, but a country with a strong army, strong economic strength, and vast territory. For such a country, even the French and Germans are competing to join. Is there any reason for the Sardinians to be unacceptable?

Of course not. Joshua Jordi sent a telegram to Lanfang Prime Minister Lu Zhengxiang on the day the freighter arrived in Cagliari, expressing the Republic of Sardinia's desire to join Lanfang.

Unlike Alexander Milleran, who was full of concerns, Lu Zhengxiang almost immediately replied to Joshua Jody: The Lanfang government welcomes the Republic of Sardinia to join Lanfang. All people in the Republic of Sardinia will receive Lanfang national treatment and can choose to live freely in Lanfang, even in the world-famous scenic spots such as Penglai Island and Lanling Island. The Lanfang government will also increase investment in Sardinia and build Sardinia into a paradise on earth that is not inferior to Corsica.

What does it mean that when you are surrounded by mountains and rivers, you may think there is no way out, but when you are in the dark, you will find another village?

What does it mean that what is poison to you is honey to me?

What does it mean that you can find life after a dead end?

This is it!

On January 1, 1924, the Republic of Sardinia announced its joining Lanfang and became the 45th state of Lanfang.

The Lanfang government also announced the appointment of Joshua Jody as the governor of Sardinia, while providing protection for the Republic of Sardinia, and formally proposed a plan to build Sardinia. It is expected that in the next five years, the total investment of the Lanfang government will reach 1.1 billion Lanfang yuan. This does not include the investment made by major Lan Fang conglomerates in Sardinia. Sardinia is the only Lan Fang territory that is truly located in Europe. Since Lan Fang has a lot of economic dealings with Europe, it is foreseeable that in the next period of time, almost all Lan Fang conglomerates will set up branches in Sardinia, or open factories, build warehouses, set up liaison stations, build office buildings, build residential areas, and cooperate with the Lan Fang government to expand the port.

Lanfang's military headquarters responded quickly enough. On the day Lu Zhengxiang issued the statement, Lanfang Defense Minister Qin Zhisheng announced that the Port of Maddalena in the northeastern part of Sardinia would be the home port of the Lanfang Naval Task Force and the establishment of Sardinia in Sardinia. The Ding Military Region, affiliated to the Lanfang Western Military Region, also ordered the Commander-in-Chief of the Western Military Region Chen Kangjian to immediately transfer an infantry division and a mountain division from Baling to the Sardinian Military Region to take over the defense of Sardinia and ensure that Sardinia will not be attacked by any country. threats.

These news came one after another, and almost all Sardinians breathed a sigh of relief. They could finally sleep peacefully and comfortably without worrying about the Italian naval guns disturbing their dreams.

Qin Zhiyuan himself also made some moves. Joshua Jody announced that he would join Lanfang on the morning of January 1st. Qin Zhiyuan arrived at La Maddalena on the destroyer "Courage" in the afternoon and set foot on Sardinia again - no, it should be now It is the Sardinia of Lanfang.

Like last time, Joshua Jody came to the port to greet Qin Zhiyuan.

There is no need to be polite this time. Qin Zhiyuan's first words after seeing Joshua Jodi were: "Hurry up and get out of the airport. A large number of materials and personnel will soon arrive in Sardinia by plane. In general, We can’t let them go to Corsica first and then transfer there.”

"No problem, we have one hundred thousand troops in Cagliari. The composition of this army is a bit complicated. Many people come from other countries such as France and Spain. They came to Sardinia to support the establishment of the Republic of Sardinia. Although it has already There is no need for their existence, but I do not recommend disbanding them. We can convert all this army into engineering troops to support the infrastructure construction of Sardinia. I have already contacted the Prime Minister. In order to transport construction machinery and construction materials to Sardinia, we will soon start construction of airports and port facilities in Cagliari, La Maddalena and Oristano. At the same time, we will build railways and roads around the island, striving to expand Sardinia. The state has become a paradise on earth that is no less than that of Lanfang itself." Joshua Jodi was very happy. The addition of the Republic of Sardinia to Lanfang was a wish for Joshua Jodi. Joshua Jodi was in a good mood. very nice.

Cagliari is an important port city in southern Sardinia. It was once the capital of Sardinia, Italy, and the last base of the Italians in Sardinia.

During the siege of Cagliari by the Republic of Sardinia, the urban facilities of Cagliari were severely damaged. One-third of the entire city was destroyed by the war. The reconstruction work is still very heavy. At present, the army of the Republic of Sardinia has begun Reconstruction and clearing the ruins are important tasks now.

La Maddalena is located in the northeast of Sardinia and is the largest island in the Maddalena Islands. It has a port with superior natural conditions and charming beaches. In the 21st century, it was once an important naval base in Italy. The military port here can Provides supplies to the nuclear submarines of the U.S. Sixth Fleet.

La Maddalena is now the home port of the task force, but if it wants to dock the "Surabaya", La Maddalena also needs to expand the port facilities. This is not a problem for Lanfang. Lanfang has enough funds. Now There are people in Sardinia and everything is ready, all they need is technical and raw material support.

As for Oristano, it is a port city in the central and western part of Sardinia. In fact, from a natural perspective, Oristano has better conditions than La Maddalena. There are two natural islands near Oristano. The lake only needs simple repairs and can accommodate all warships including battleships.

However, for the Lanfang Navy, Oristano is a bit useless. Sardinia is not that big. It is enough to have a military port in 24,000 square kilometers of land. La Maddalena is only six kilometers away from Corsica. kilometers, the construction of a port and airport in La Maddalena is enough to take care of the entire Sardinia and Corsica, so Oristano can only be used as a civilian port.

This can be regarded as the trouble of too much happiness.

"Then we won't demobilize them. If they perform well enough, we can give them national treatment." Qin Zhiyuan was generous.

There is an "International Brigade" on Sardinia. Otherwise, with the hundreds of thousands of people on Sardinia, no matter how aggressively they are, Joshua Jodi cannot create an army of 100,000.

"What I'm worried about now is the Italian counterattack. Mussolini has announced that he will build a new battleship. This madman will not give up." Joshua Jody is still pragmatic and can face the Italian threat.

"Don't worry, if he is willing to drive over, I will be willing to sink him." Qin Zhiyuan was not merciless.

Don’t think that Sardinia is very important to the Italians. In the 21st century, the Italians once wanted to sell Sardinia to alleviate the financial crisis. Although this did not become a reality when Qin Zhiyuan traveled through, there is no smoke without fire. This rumor already proves that Sardinia is not an integral part of Italy.

At least that's what many people think.
