The Northern Entente went to war without declaring it, and sent troops to the land ceded to the empire in the last war. The empire shared the same hatred and immediately decided to go to war.
The empire entered a period of war.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether we enter the war or not. Anyway, this world is a cruel world recognized by gods, and the lives of ordinary people are still unsustainable.
Tanya graduated as an outstanding officer, was directly promoted to second lieutenant, and was sent to the north to participate in the war.
Dulan made a calculation for the empire, starting from the empire's resource reserves, and finally found that the wars that the empire could really fight were limited. If a full-scale war started, taking into account international factors, and other countries imposed a blockade and embargo on the empire, then the empire's
The resource reserve can only be used for one and a half years.
The technology tree of this world is between World War I and World War II. In fact, it is very close to World War II. The war of World War II is not an ordinary test of logistics. Aircraft, tanks, motorcycles and trucks are all oil-swallowing beasts, and they are all waiting for food. Don’t look at it.
The blitzkrieg was a blast, but the logistics was a pain in the ass.
If there is no domestic oil production, the empire will not be able to fight a war relying only on the country's strategic reserves. Therefore, if the empire really expands outwards, even if it goes smoothly initially, if it does not occupy the oil producing areas, it will only be pushed aside in the end.
point.
Du Lan looked at the situation in the empire and shook his head helplessly. They had really never read the art of war. They didn't know how to seek defeat before winning. They didn't know how to know yourself and the enemy and you would be victorious in a hundred battles. They didn't know how to move troops and horses before using food and grass.
The war started, but it was not violent, because the Allied Federation only sent some magister troops across the line and did not send soldiers on a large scale. Therefore, the scale of the battle could be controlled within a certain range, mainly the exchange of fire between the magister troops of both sides.
At the same time, in the international situation, there are various conflicts between countries. Many countries support the alliance and express their willingness to sell weapons to them so that they can go to war with the empire.
The United Kingdom in the west warned the empire seriously not to act recklessly. They wanted to maintain world peace, but in fact they were trying to deviate from each other. After all, the United Kingdom is playing a continental balancing strategy, hoping that there will be no powerful country on the road, so as to ensure itself.
interests abroad.
Several countries are quarreling fiercely, but obviously now they have not thought that the war will expand or even become a world war. They just hope that this regional war can develop in the direction they want for their own interests.
In the countryside, Duran found that everyone felt that this was a war that must be fought, a just war to defend the territory. After all, it was the northern country that started the war first, and the empire was for defense.
However, Dulan believes that the biggest problem of the empire at this time is not war but economic development. The northern territory was originally cut off by others, and the empire has not developed it very much. It can even be said that it has no ability to develop it. It can be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for the alliance.
market.
As far as Dulan knows, there is nothing valuable on this land. It is just a large area of forest and mountains with little development value. Of course, it is still necessary to consider national security, because this land can completely become a joint invasion by the Entente.
The springboard of empire.
However, Dulan believes that in the current situation of the empire, the military threat is small, and the economic threat and blockade are the most dangerous.
So Duran told them his thoughts: "I think the best way for this war is to enter the Allied Alliance as soon as possible, and then start negotiations, with the goal of reorganizing the empire's economy, and can change the occupied land into leased land, such as renting a
A hundred years, and then the alliance should open the market to the empire in return. Now our problem is that we are starving to death. Instead of holding an empty broken pot, it is better to pawn the pot in exchange for food."
However, the Imperial people do have a strong need for living space, and many people do not agree to give up land, because giving up land means giving up living space.
Besides, the world does not have nuclear deterrence, so we cannot expect other countries to be trustworthy.
"They are not trustworthy, so we can fight back and get the land back, isn't it good?" It's not like the empire doesn't know how to fight: "And there are also hard-working people in the Alliance. We can't just think about the empire, we have to think about it.
What is needed is to unite the working people of the world, and Leahy is just a pioneer. Land is the land of the working people of the world, and this will not change. Do you think that the nobles occupy a large amount of land, but the hard-working farmers can only own a little?
You have to pay various taxes on the land, and in the end you won’t even have enough to eat. Is this right?”
It was definitely not correct, so Du Lan told them that they needed land reform and wanted the sun and the moon to change the sky.
The land ceded by others also belongs to other people. If humans all over the world unite, then your land is my land and my land is your land, and there will be no more disputes.
In addition to teaching, fighting is also inevitable. Duran established a "Strike Witches" team specifically to defeat the feudal army.
The equipment of the magister in this world mainly consists of four parts: calculation orbs, magic rifles, magic mounts, and magic defense fields. The magic mounts in different countries are also different. Some are like flying motorcycles, and some are like sleds. The magic of the empire
The mount is one-legged.
As for the magic rifles, they are all similar. Some of the defensive fields are made into backpacks, and some are embedded in flying motorcycles.
The development of the calculation orb is the core secret of every country. The magician is very powerful and contributes a lot to the calculation of the orb. However, the magic power of the magician itself is also very important. Sometimes God will give special care to certain magicians.
Duran's Strike Witches team uses external magic power. The flying feet can provide magic power, allowing the little lolita to obtain a powerful defensive field. At the same time, the weapons can be strengthened through the 'field'. Anyway, as long as the flying feet are installed, they can become humanoid.
Gundam.
But avoid war if you can. The main thing is to use propaganda, especially propaganda to the lower-level officers and soldiers in the army. Ask them whether they are living well in the army and whether they know why they are fighting.
The soldiers naturally had a difficult life. Although they had food in the barracks, they had to endure verbal abuse and corporal punishment from their superiors, and the food was not good. Apart from being brainwashed every day, saying that foreign countries made the empire so poor, they had no other choice.
Other education.
Although there are indeed problems in the international environment, there are also many shady operations by the upper echelons of the empire. Because the empire was originally a country ruled by feudal aristocrats, after the country entered industrialization, a small amount of profits were divided up by the aristocrats, which did not benefit the people at all.
When it comes to development, the common people put in a lot of effort, but the imperial nobles don't care about the good of the common people at all. In their eyes, this is probably a natural result. After all, they are nobles, and their bloodline determines that they don't have to endure hardships and can only lie down.
To count money, you only need to issue various commands.
There are many nobles in the army, mainly small nobles. These are also the targets of Duran's rebellion, because the small nobles are the core force of the ruling class. If they rebel, the big nobles will lose their foundation and will be finished.
It is also very simple to distinguish nobles. Anyone with a 'Feng' in the middle of their name is a noble. Because Feng means 'from', nobles in ancient times usually added their own fief name after Feng. Nowadays, the land is not divided, but
Feng's habit is still retained. Anyone who is promoted to the nobility will have "Feng" added to the middle of his name.
