Chapter 665 The Middle East
Although Wang Yuze asked this wedding to be as simple as possible, the people from all over the country spontaneously organized many activities to celebrate His Majesty the Emperor's marriage to the Western princess. The changes in the empire over the years have made the people very fond of Wang Yuze, the emperor. The empire is becoming stronger and stronger, and the people's lives are getting better and better, and the people are already satisfied. This is countless times better than when the Qing Dynasty was ruled by the Qing Dynasty. At least, foreigners dare not bully the Chinese people at will, and they even sent their daughters to marry His Majesty the Emperor. This is completely accelerating the majesty of Chinese men!
Several member states of the Allied Powers were gritted with hatred for the marriage between China and Germany. Although China did not clearly join the Allied Powers, the relationship between China and Germany was completely an ally, but it was not cleared by the treaty. But anyone with a discerning eye knew that once the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers went to war, China would definitely stand on the side of the Allied Powers. This also made the Allied Powers regard China as a potential opponent, or even a more difficult opponent than Germany.
The countries of the allies are excited. The world already knows the strength of China. Originally, the Allies were at a serious disadvantage compared to the Allies. The relationship between China and Germany is getting closer, which is what they are happy to see. When everyone is desperately preparing for the next war, it is undoubtedly the most important thing to have a strong ally. For example, Germany is now beginning to hoard important strategic materials. At this time, the Allies and the Allies are also competing for these resources in the international market, but the Allies have a vast colony and are far from comparable to the Allies in terms of resources. Without China's help, Germany would not be able to hold on at all, and would not even have to fight, and would be dragged to death by the Allies.
After the wedding, Wang Yuze conferred the seventh princess of the Bavarian Kingdom as Rong Concubine, and officially became a member of Wang Yuze's harem. Helmcude has a gentle personality and is not the kind of jealous person, which makes Wang Yuze less trouble. The wedding night that night also allowed Wang Yuze to experience the exotic style. Although Wang Yuze was not a particularly lustful person, as a man, he always hoped to spread his excellent genes very likely. As the emperor of a powerful empire, Wang Yuze naturally had this qualification.
Three days after the marriage, Wang Yuze took as much time as possible to equip Helmchud. However, three days later, his life returned to his original kneeling. During the day, he basically handled government affairs or military affairs, and from time to time, he would immediately go to Beijing to inspect the development of industry and agriculture. Although China has entered the fast lane of development, its foundation is too thin. If we want to win again in the next war, China has to continue working hard. At night, we will accompany our family.
, took turns staying with the queen and a few concubines. Although this kind of life is very busy, it is very fulfilling. Helmchud's family stayed in Beijing for a month before leaving for Germany. The German Crown Prince William and Prince Heinrich had already returned half a month in advance. After obtaining relevant technology for the Chinese Navy's "Han-class" battleship and the relevant information about the "Han-class" battlecruiser that the Chinese were still secretly building, it would be strange that they could sit still.
After returning to Germany, Crown Prince William and Prince Heinrich immediately discussed countermeasures with German Emperor William II and German Minister of the Navy Alfred von Tirpitz. They all knew that Germany had to build more powerful battleships and battle cruisers. Especially for German Emperor William II, he was not prone to waste all his efforts over the years. Therefore, even though Germany's financial resources were tight, he still asked the Navy to come up with a plan to build a "Han-class" battleship and advanced battle cruisers that could fight against the Chinese Navy. As for the funds that were short of funds, they could borrow from banks, or even sell certain Germans to China.
The advanced patent technology at the bottom of the box was solved. Of course, China refused. In the eyes of the United Kingdom, Germany's crazy shipbuilding plan was simply in a state of madness. In order to continue to maintain its advantage over Germany in the future, Britain had to bite the bullet and accelerate the construction of new battleships, as well as design more and more powerful battleships and battle cruisers. Allies and other countries also followed the trend, which made all countries invest huge amounts of funds in the construction of naval battleships, which affected the development of the domestic economy and provided valuable opportunities for China to catch up with and surpass Western powers.
In June 1902, the northern hemisphere had already entered summer and the weather gradually began to get hotter. However, the hot weather did not stop China's rapid development. Railways and roads were built to ensure the connection between the empire and the border areas, and at the same time promote economic development. The confrontation between the allies and the Allies was also in full swing, and huge clouds of war seemed to have enveloped Europe.
On June 8, Wang Yuze went to the General Staff to listen to the report of the General Staff. According to the General Staff’s plan, this year, action will be taken in the Persian Gulf region of the Middle East this year. This was decided after Wang Yuze’s trip to Europe last year and meeting with the Saudi family Abdul and his son. Moreover, the oil resources in the Middle East are something that China will never give up, and it is imperative for China to take over the Persian Gulf region. In the past year, the General Staff and the Military Intelligence Bureau have made a lot of preparations. It can be said that everything is ready and there is only the east wind.
"Your Majesty!" After Wang Yuze arrived at the General Staff, Chief of Staff Xiong Wu, Minister of Army Cai Yun, Minister of Navy Zhang Cheng, Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo and Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau Wei Zhiyong all saluted Wang Yuze. During this period, Wang Yuze was in the marriage period, and the ministers in the court took the initiative to reduce the number of times they met Wang Yuze, which was also considered as a kind of respect they showed to Wang Yuze!
"Everyone is free. How can we prepare?" Wang Yuze asked straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, you are ready. The heavy cruiser of the Indian Ocean Fleet, the heavy cruiser of the Guangzhou and Changsha, will enter the Arabian Sea cruiser in three days, with four Tianshui-class battleships and six destroyers. During this period, their main function is to shock the British and French navies and ensure that we transport weapons, ammunition and supplies to the Saudi family. The four battleships of the Pacific Fleet and one battlecruiser have also entered an emergency combat readiness. If Britain and France prepare to intervene strongly, the main battleships of the Indian Ocean Fleet will be able to be put into the market in a week.
In the battle!" Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu replied. As the Chinese navy became stronger and stronger and entered the Indian Ocean, the strength of Britain and France in the Indian Ocean continued to shrink. Britain formed the Indian fleet and the East African fleet. However, these two fleets only had a fleet of at least two or three old battleships. The French Navy's Indian Ocean fleet was only a small fleet with a few cruisers and destroyers. The strength of these fleets was completely enough to deal with small countries in Africa and the Middle East, but there was only a dead end to the Chinese Indian Ocean fleet.
"That's good. Is the Saudi family ready? This time the plan cannot be lost!" Wang Yuze said. For the sake of oil in the Middle East, China has lost a lot of support for the Saudi family this time. If they fail again, then China's efforts will be in vain.
"Your Majesty, with our support, the Saudi family's Abdul and his son have made a lot of preparations. Now, they have trained 20,000 elite troops in the desert areas of Kuwait and the Neizhi Kingdom, which is enough to defeat the Rashid family and regain the rule of the Neizhi Kingdom!" Wei Zhiyong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, replied. Although the Saudi family does not have many troops now, the weapons they use are almost all standard equipment of the Chinese team, but there are not so many machine guns and artillery configurations. In addition, in this year, the Chinese side has sent hundreds of officers to train the army specifically for the Saudi family, which makes the combat power of the Saudi family army no longer have any problems to defeat the Rashid family. The only thing that is worried is the interference of Britain and France. After all, the current Arabian Peninsula is still a colony between Britain and France.
"Very good. Since that's the case, let's tell Abdul and his son that they can let go. After they defeated the Rashid family, they will establish the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and then establish diplomatic relations with us as soon as possible, and request that we send troops to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. By then, everything will be settled!" Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, your Majesty! The 10th Marine Division has gathered in Yangon, Myanmar. As long as the order is issued, you can board the ship and set off immediately!" Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng replied. In order to protect his own interests, China must garrison troops in the Persian Gulf. The 10th Marine Division is the army stationed in the Persian Gulf.
