Chapter 626: Daming's Road to War Preparation for a Monthly Pass
1873 was a year of drastic changes for the world. If Emperor Zhu Da just flapped his wings when he came to this world 13 years ago, then by attending the funeral of Napoleon III, Emperor Zhu Da took the opportunity to do it.
It has promoted changes in the world, and this change is all-round.
Emperor Zhu Da, as an expert in arching fire, personally pushed the world to an unknown edge.
In fact, it can’t be said to be unknown. After all, Emperor Zhu Da, as the instigator, knew very well what would happen next.
"We are preparing for a world war!"
After returning to the Ming Dynasty, as soon as he stepped off the airship, Emperor Zhu summoned his cabinet ministers and informed them of this "judgment".
World War!
People in this world are undoubtedly unfamiliar, but one thing is certain, they will not violate Emperor Zhu Da's will. After all, Emperor Zhu Da is always right.
In fact, the reason why this judgment was made is because... Emperor Zhu Da himself was the promoter of the world war.
Of course he is also the planner.
"The great powers carve up Turkey" is just an appetizer. After eating this appetizer, the broad alliance may split, but while splitting, some of the countries will further deepen cooperation. After all, human greed has no limit.
What Emperor Zhu Da needs is to take advantage of the greed of various countries and lead them step by step to the feast of "beating the British and eating meat".
The reason why this world war is planned is because the rise of Ming Dynasty must step on the corpses of one, no, many countries. As a backward country, if it wants to rise in this era of tigers and wolves, this is the only way.
the road.
Today's Daming is indeed an industrialized country that is leading in many aspects - a few years ago, Daming's industrial output far exceeded its agricultural output!
But there is still no capital for a world war, but the demand for a war is sufficient. This demand is actually somewhat similar to Germany and Japan.
In the final analysis, it is because the great powers have almost divided the world. If Ming wants to rise, it must break the old partition.
There is a need for war.
But what about the strength to start a war?
Even though the Ming Dynasty has gone through thirteen years of "wretched development", it has grown up in a toddler, its industry has developed rapidly, its domestic resources are relatively abundant, and its land is vast and fertile. But in fact, the Ming Dynasty is just a young child.
It seems that life in South America is going smoothly, but if we go to war with the British, we will be in trouble.
Well, Emperor Zhu Da really didn’t have the confidence to win.
What does this kind of confidence come from? Of course it is the strength of the country. When the country is not strong enough, if you want to smash the plate, it is estimated that it will be like Germany and Japan in history. If the hard power is not enough, you will have to be tough.
It is possible to win in all kinds of big bets on the scalp, such as the Sino-Japanese War, Japan and Russia, etc. But if you gamble for a long time, you will lose, and it is inevitable that you will lose everything and even lose your underpants.
Countries that go to stud with the idea of "beating Western chicks and beating sweatshops" are absolutely not qualified to become the real protagonists on the stage of world hegemony!
What kind of country is the real protagonist on the stage of world hegemony?
Of course, it is those countries that, when their strength is weak, hide their ambitions, constantly bleed, weaken the enemy, and at the same time try their best to strengthen themselves and their circle of friends. Only such countries can win the final victory of the war.
Competition between countries never lasts for three to five years, but is a long process. Now that the British Empire is at its most powerful, it takes the initiative to attack them. It is simply like a dung beetle lighting a lantern - seeking death.
Therefore, in Emperor Zhu Da's plan for hegemony, the first step is to establish a circle of friends and use the circle of friends to protect himself, that is, to establish an alliance of Mingfa. This is to gain time for development. Now of course it is time to expand the circle of friends.
The purpose of expanding your circle of friends is to form an alliance for deterrence, and to make yourself a lot of friends. Only in this way can you completely sweep the troublemaker Britain into history in the future war with Britain.
As an expert in arching fire, Emperor Zhu Da was quite good at it.
After the meeting, Emperor Zhu directly asked the military to formulate a four-year war preparation plan. The reason why it was four years was because... the tenth Russo-Turkish War will be four years later, and...
Four years later...it was also the election of the French Legislative Council.
After sleeping with the Queen Mother, of course she had to support the Emperor.
Ming Dynasty must be prepared to get involved in war.
Want to stay out of it all?
is it possible?
As a fire supporter, sometimes you need to take action personally.
"I hope that in the next four years, the military department can prepare for the following aspects. First, starting from actual combat, reorganize and train a new army on the existing basis, and reorganize the current army into
12 divisions, these 12 divisions are Class A divisions, the other 24 backbone regiments are expanded to 24 Class B divisions, the equipment is fully equipped, and the personnel establishment is maintained at 60%. In addition, the country is divided into 24-30 military control areas
, each district dispatches a reserve division. The reserve division is mainly composed of officers, non-commissioned officers and technical arms. Once war breaks out, it can be expanded at any time..."
To a certain extent, the military mobilization system of the Ming Dynasty is absolutely epoch-making. After all, every adult man in the Ming Dynasty has needed to receive military training for many years. The physical education classes in primary and secondary schools are also military physical education classes full of martial arts.
"Second, the navy will expand and train a new type of navy based on our country's actual affordability. In the next four years, the navy will build at least 6 more capital ships and no less than 10 cruisers. 3. Establish and train a capable and powerful aviation buoyancy force.
Air force. Fourth, build a more efficient national military mobilization system. Fifth, reform military academies and establish a pre-officer training system in high schools and universities. All college students and junior college students must receive pre-officer training."
Zhu Xianhai then mentioned the expansion and construction projects from the Ming Dynasty to the colonial coastal fortresses and naval bases. At the end, Zhu Xianhai specifically emphasized.
"Currently, even if we build new naval bases in the Congo River, Guinea, New Xiamen, and Naha, it has not changed our gaps in the Indian Ocean. So in the next four years, I hope the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can work hard to help us break through
In this situation, after all, in the future competition, we will be involved in a global confrontation..."
Falling his eyes on Zhu Guozhong, Zhu Xianhai said with a smile.
"You can coordinate with the company. The company is quite experienced in developing colonies!"
"I know, your Majesty, please rest assured that we should have an additional East African colony by the end of this year at the latest."
Zhu Guozhong said confidently.
You can't be confident. Africa, there really is no big power that can take it seriously. It's not right to eat two more bites of meat while they are not paying attention.
"Well, the naval bases in East Africa and the Indian Ocean are important, but secret negotiations with various countries are even more important. You must pay attention to the balance. After all, these negotiations are directly related to the future of the Ming Dynasty!"
What will the future of Ming Dynasty be like?
Zhu Xianhai didn't know, but he knew that the wheel of fate was spinning unstoppably.
