This was the first in a series of battles known as the Battle of the Windward Islands in later history. It ended in a lose-lose manner. The British and Russian fleets blocked the Argentine fleet with huge casualties and protected more than a dozen Colombians.
In the logistics supply line of the Wanlian Army, they lost four battleships, three were sunk and one was destroyed, as well as four protected cruisers, two light cruisers, twelve destroyers, and twenty torpedo boats.
However, the results can be said to be very satisfactory. They sank a battleship of the Argentine Navy, severely damaged a heavy cruiser, and also had a light cruiser and three destroyers. The most regrettable thing is that they did not destroy the Rivadavia
Sunk. Although this Swedish battleship suffered a torpedo, it was obvious that the 2.3 million pounds that the Argentines paid for it was well worth the money. It only suffered internal vibration damage caused by some explosion impacts, and there was no damage at all.
It has no impact on its combat effectiveness.
After the defeat of the naval battle, the battleship and the remaining Argentine warships then landed with the marines and captured the British colony of Trinidad. There was no British garrison on this small island, only a small number of colonial officials and police, and the main city only had
Port of Spain was captured by the Argentines without any fighting. But this port was a natural harbor that was very suitable for them to dock temporarily. After raising the flag to help the local Indians and black ghosts stand up, they quickly completed the task.
After gaining control of this place, they began to repair their warships with the help of the Venezuelans on the other side.
Because the same battleships were all injured, the British and Russian fleets were unable to take the initiative to attack the fleet hiding in Port of Spain. The two sides just licked their wounds and stared at each other cautiously.
This result made Emperor Yang very satisfied. As long as the supplies of the British and Russian armies in Colombia are smooth, the war there can continue. As the war continues, more and more South American countries will be involved in the war for their own interests.
After the Allied Powers won the victory on the European battlefield, those like Chile and Brazil who were still waiting and watching would no longer be able to hold back.
Yes, in Yang Feng's plan, the next step is to win the Allied Powers, and it will be a glorious victory. Let their armies march toward Berlin and Vienna, and then at their most glorious climax, beat them with a stick.
The spine is broken. Only in this way can the best results be achieved. So far, Germany has not been ravaged by war. This is obviously not possible. It must be done when both Germany and Austria are groaning under artillery fire. It must be done before Emperors Wilhelm and Joseph
When the country was on the verge of subjugation, Emperor Yang could appear in front of them as a savior with the arrogance of giving alms.
In this way, the Allies, who have gained hope, will fight desperately and wait for the reinforcements from China to fight back. However, the Allies will definitely be reluctant to give up in the face of the victory that has already beckoned. They will also attack desperately in order to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
Enemies in Europe. Then withdraw to deal with enemies in Asia. This is very important. What Yang Feng wants is for them to keep fighting. Only when China joins the war can the Allies still insist on fighting. Only then can they open up and cleanse these ghosts. If China joins the war, the Allies will immediately
If we surrender and negotiate peace, how can we accomplish this goal?
After all, Emperor Yang's goal is not to make the Europeans surrender. On the contrary, what he wants is for them not to surrender. Only if they do not surrender can he kill them with confidence. Surrendering means nothing to him. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hedong.
Hexi, this kind of thing must be avoided after surrendering for twenty years and then getting up again. Cutting the population of Europe by half is the simplest, most effective and most effective way to control this continent. If they cannot achieve the goal by bleeding each other, then the Chinese will help
Let them bleed, and if that doesn't work, release the good things he made on Dumaran Island.
But it still takes some time. Nicholas has already decided to expand the army by another two million people under the persuasion of Britain and France before launching the final decisive battle. This will take at least until the autumn. After all, he cannot just pick it up casually.
Two million gray animals can then be put on the battlefield with a rifle. It must go through several months of training. In addition, it will take a long time to arm such a large army, no matter how large China's industrial scale is.
, achieving this will not happen overnight, not to mention that China itself is also in the process of massive military expansion at this time.
Of course, China's military expansion is not the 3 million announced to the outside world. The strategic reserves in the logistics warehouse are enough for this army. Yang Feng's real military expansion is 10 million.
Although this number seems exaggerated, it is actually not exaggerated at all. For a huge empire with a population of more than 500 million, an army of 10 million is really not much. Once a war breaks out, China will have to deal with multiple battlefields. The first is the war against Russia.
The Far East and Central Asia must use at least 3 million land troops. Although the Russian army is basically on the European battlefield now, the total east of the Ural Mountains does not exceed 300,000 land troops, which can basically be said to be undefended, but after all, it is more than 300,000 troops.
It has a huge depth of five thousand kilometers, and these fighting nations can easily mobilize all the people when needed. If you want to control such a huge war zone, you can't hope to control it without three million people.
If you want to reach Moscow, I'm afraid you have to do it again. However, in Emperor Yang's strategy, he is not ready to destroy Russia at the initial stage. He only needs to capture the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, and the eastern part of the Caspian Sea.
Well, as for the problem in Russia, this needs to be solved by Comrade Vladimir. Make a promise to them, for example, support them in overthrowing the Tsar and give them enough help. These people will solve the follow-up work and wait until they solve everything.
After that, Emperor Yang pushed Vladimir away by shouting the slogan of not letting the flag of any monarch in Europe fall. From now on, it is nothing more than raising a little puppet.
There are also battlefields in Southeast Asia and India. These places are different from Europe. In the future, Europe and America can use other methods to control them, but these places must directly become Chinese territory. In this case, they must face the resistance of monkeys and Asans.
, if you want to control these lands, you need at least three million people. Different from simple combat, these places must be occupied.
Especially after the occupation, some more cruel methods will be adopted. Emperor Yang is not a Bodhisattva-hearted person, and he is not interested in engaging in small tricks such as Huairou. These things have no meaning and are not of my race. His heart must be
Different, he is to be a colonizer, not a liberator of inferior ethnic groups. Purge is the most effective method. In this way, it will be difficult to avoid the problem of resistance, so a large-scale military garrison is necessary.
Three million troops to control tens of millions of square kilometers of land is not a lot. The only remaining problem is large-scale immigration.
In addition, 500,000 yuan must be sent to the European battlefield to cheer up William and Joseph. If they cannot withstand the pressure of the Allied Powers and are destroyed, it will be troublesome for Britain, France and Russia to escape the nearly 10 million troops, so
Even if China sends troops to Europe, they must be able to withstand it. In this way, together with the troops of Hamid II and Persia, it will be almost enough. These two families can still gather at least two million troops, especially Hamid
Second, I have been waiting for this for a long time.
Emperor Yang's original plan was to let the Allies and his little brothers in Europe hold back the Allied Forces, and then he slowly grabbed territory from a distance. When he got all the territory, both sides were fighting to their death. Look,
Seeing that the situation is about the same, he will scatter the prepared treasures to Europe, whether it is the Allies or the Entente, including his own younger brothers. When they are almost dead, Emperor Yang will bring the medicine and shine as a savior with a holy halo.
Make your debut.
In addition, one million must be set aside to guard against the Americans. Although the United States has been defeated at this time, and Brian and the farmers behind him are quite content with the status quo, it never hurts to be careful. The recent period
The reason why the big capitalists in the United States ceased operations was largely because their behind-the-scenes boss, the British consortium, did not want to anger Yang Feng at this time. After all, compared with the interests of the United States, Yang Feng's position in the war was more important. Now
In the final analysis, the struggle in the American political arena is a struggle between Bryan and the farmers, who are supported by Yang Feng, and the industrial capitalists, who are supported by the British consortium. Everyone knows this well. Once too little is given to him in the United States,
Face angered Yang Feng and he turned to Germany, and Britain would be in trouble.
But China's joining the Allied Powers in the war means a complete break between the two sides. The British, who have been patient for a long time, will definitely encourage those capitalists to rise up and cause trouble for Yang Feng in America. And by that time, for the Allied Powers, the United States will
Drawing into the war is the only way to solve the dilemma, so Yang Feng must prepare in advance for fighting a war in North America after the war begins.
Of course, one million troops are enough to deal with the United States. There are also 200,000 Spanish troops, 500,000 Confederate troops, one million Mexican troops, and nearly three million troops. It would be strange if they couldn't take down a single United States. And
The United States is still an America where it is impossible to work together. The two states of Alabama and Georgia have always been flirting with the Confederacy. The agricultural-based states in the west have close relations with China. I don’t know what will happen if a war breaks out!
As for the remaining two million, this is the reserve force left in the country. There are also some small battlefields that need to be dealt with, such as places like Australia and New Zealand. The combined population of these two places is only a few million, and the West
There are still a large number of paramilitary Chinese immigrants in Austria, and by then they will be able to casually recruit 200,000 people and basically push them away.
