Chapter 833 The post-war layout of the people of the country
"Cameron, what's going on?" Stanley's heart skipped a beat when he saw his secretary being so rude.
It was like being hit by a stone suddenly.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please remember it for yourself."
Cameron delivered the French newspaper to Stanley.
This is the English version of a French newspaper.
The headline on the front page clearly reads: "The Bunama government decides to form a canal company."
This communication did not mention the Renaissance Army, but everyone knows that the Republic of Bunama has joined the Greater China Circle.
Then it is very obvious who did this.
Stanley fell down on the chair, and the newspaper in his hand fell on the table.
The Baath Army first attacked Cape Town to show their ability to attack Cape Town.
By the way, it once again severely damaged the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Great Empire.
Then suddenly there was news about the construction of the Bunama Canal.
This is a naked threat to the Great Empire.
The Renaissance Army is telling the Great Empire that the Renaissance Army can flank the Great Empire from the south and west.
This time the Renaissance Army was not an empty threat. It was a direct threat of force.
The determination of the Renaissance Army completely exceeded the expectations of the Great Empire this time.
"Mr. Russell, I think we need to speed up. This time the Renaissance Army will increase the conditions. If there is no ceasefire, we may not even be able to protect the interests of the Atlantic Ocean."
Russell also saw the newspaper on the table at this time.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, can other countries in Europe allow them to dig that canal?" Russell said.
If the Renaissance Army can directly enter the Caribbean, it will not only affect the Great Empire.
The major powers in Europa now basically have interests there.
Perhaps the most panicked country is Spain.
The Spanish had the largest number of colonies in the Caribbean.
Then there is the Great Empire, and the Milicians should also be panicked.
But the relationship between the southerners and the Renaissance Army is very good now. It should be the northerners who are panicking.
"Mr. Russell, haven't you noticed that it was the French who reported this incident first? They must have reached some kind of tacit understanding with the Renaissance Army."
In fact, this is indeed the case, the French are now bent on controlling the entire Moxico.
Only the Renaissance Army has the ability to intervene in their actions, so the French can easily reach a compromise with the Renaissance Army.
Now France is only thinking about overpowering Japan and becoming the overlord of Europa.
They won't consider containing the Ba'ath Army.
In their view, the Fuxing Army did these things just to increase their bargaining chips with the Chinese people.
Because the Republic of China is also digging the Su Yinshi Canal.
On this canal, the Chinese also played tricks on France. They defrauded the shares of the canal that the French once controlled.
Eliminate Francie from the control of the canal.
The Chinese are also preparing to monopolize Egypt, a strategically important area in North Africa.
You know, the French are also interested in this place.
"Prime Minister, the Renaissance Army is pushing us to a dead end. If the war continues without a ceasefire, it won't be long before our Great Empire will be trampled under the feet of the French without the help of the Renaissance Army," Russell said.
"Alas, we are in a dilemma. The people of Da Ying have not yet realized that they are defeated. After all, the artillery shells of the Renaissance Army have not yet hit their heads."
"If we sign such an armistice agreement at this time, it will definitely be a disaster for our government. Those liberal radicals will take the opportunity to incite public opinion. At that time, we will still have to step down."
Russell knew Stanley's difficulties. The power to govern that he had finally won cannot be thrown away just because of a single negotiation.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, let me go and talk. After the agreement is signed, I will take the blame and resign. This way, the entire cabinet will not be implicated."
Russell is not young anymore. In this cabinet with a relatively older average age, he is also relatively old. Ending his political career will not cause him much loss.
"Mr. Russell, this is unfair to you."
"Mr. Prime Minister, although this matter seems to be a shame, it is good for the future of the Great Empire." Russell said.
Stanley felt a little sorry, but he had to say that what Russell said was the best way.
…
At the end of the eighth year of the Renaissance, the two-year war between the Great Empire and the Great China Circle came to an end.
The two sides signed the Treaty of Plymouth in Plymouth. The Great Empire not only recognized the abandonment of its colonies in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
In accordance with the previous division of maritime power, the Renaissance Army promised not to conduct military activities across the border.
However, merchant ships from both sides can operate within the other's sphere of influence, and freedom of navigation is protected.
In order not to upset the regional balance, both sides shelved their respective canal plans at the same time.
The Republic of China also wanted to make the Renaissance Army promise in the treaty not to interfere in the war between North and South America.
But it was rejected, and the Chinese people did not raise this issue again.
According to the agreement, the Great Empire will pay 100 million pounds in installments.
However, the word "reparations" was not used, but it was used as a ransom for the redemption of captives.
At this point, the Renaissance Army took care of the face of the Great Empire, allowing them to give an explanation to the people at home.
Although the ransom for this prisoner is a bit expensive, who among the proud people of the Great Empire dares to say that their soldiers are inferior?
And who dares to hinder the government from ransoming captured soldiers? In that case, the families of these soldiers would have to eat these people alive.
The Fuxing Army now has more than 100,000 prisoners of war in its hands.
If the people of Yu had not redeemed themselves, there would not necessarily be so many people.
Using ransom as a way to pay war reparations was the idea that Liu Qingbei came up with to help the people of the country.
This made Russell have to admire the wisdom of Eastern people.
Because of this action of the Renaissance Army, Russell didn't even have to take the blame and resign.
To be honest, Dong Shuheng is very fond of this Da Ying government. These people advocate the return of the power of the Da Ying Empire to Europa, which is exactly what Dong Shuheng wants.
The signing of such a treaty naturally affects the hearts and minds of the people throughout the Greater China Circle.
This means that the Great Empire has stepped down from its throne as the overlord and has withdrawn its title of "The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets".
But now, only the Renaissance Army and the Greater China Community are qualified to wear this title.
Dong Shuheng is busy presiding over the annual meeting of Fuxing for eight years. This year's meeting is a bit busy.
There are more than a dozen planned laws that need to be passed. Dong Shuheng has begun to build a local institutional framework.
The Treaty of Plymouth caused a huge stir in Europe.
Some people say that this is the first failed treaty signed by the Great Empire in hundreds of years.
Some people say that the signing of this treaty means that the entire world will usher in a period of peace.
The Great Empire really suffered a loss. They lost almost half of the empire and two-thirds of their sphere of influence.
During the two years of the war, the French had caught up with the Great Empire in terms of overall strength.
Even the GDP of the German Federation began to approach that of the Great Empire.
Naturally, the people of the Ying Kingdom themselves reacted strongly. However, most knowledgeable people knew that a truce was the best option for the Ying Empire.
"Demon Town Museum"
Only a small number of ordinary people took to the streets to cause trouble under the instigation of liberal opposition parties, but they were quickly suppressed.
This time Her Majesty is on the Conservative side, so they have no worries.
Soon, with the support of public opinion, Stanley's Conservative government took control of the overall situation.
They introduced policies to reduce military spending and lower taxes, which were welcomed by the people.
And Her Majesty the Queen has also begun her European tour.
Her first stop was the Netherlands, where she grew up.
The Netherlands has always been the strongest ally of the Great Empire.
During this trip, she gave the Dutch Empire blueprints for the latest ironclads.
Nominally, it wanted to strengthen the naval strength of the Netherlands, but in fact, it hoped to use the Netherlands to contain France.
Historically, the French teamed up with the Netherlands to defeat France.
Of course, the Queen also wanted to gain a foothold in the East through the Netherlands.
Now the Great Empire no longer has any land in the east. Even the small islands in the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean have been occupied by the Renaissance Army.
The Dutch still had many strongholds in the East Indies.
Yes, there are only a few strongholds left. The Dutch once controlled almost the entire East Indies, but now under the instigation of the Renaissance Army, the Dutch can only retreat to some strongholds.
Other places have become independent small countries and joined the Greater China Circle.
Now in the Dutch strongholds, the eyes of the local aborigines and Chinese have changed when looking at the Dutch. They are no longer fearful, and they seem to be ready to eat them at any time.
It seems that the Dutch suddenly turned into soft persimmons in the Far East.
The Queen's arrival not only gave her blueprints, she also gave the Dutch a large number of weapons.
The armistice treaty has been signed, and the Great Empire has begun to drastically reduce its army in order to save costs.
Temple produced a large number of weapons during wartime. These weapons could not be left to rust, so they might as well be disposed of to their allies.
The Queen also said that she would send retired soldiers to the East Indies to help the Dutch stabilize the situation there.
In fact, this is to allow the Great Empire to continue to maintain a certain military power in the east and within the Greater China Circle.
The people of the country began to prepare for the war.
Then, the queen went to Prussia, and for the same reason, she enlisted Prussia to deal with France.
Finally she went to Tsarist Russia, where she stayed for a full month. No king of the great empire had ever stayed in such a bitter and cold place as Tsarist Russia for so long.
The Queen and the Tsar often held secret talks.
Everyone only knows that the Chinese later helped Tsarist Russia build a large shipyard.
It was when the French invaded the Crimean Peninsula of Tsarist Russia.
All the restrictions originally imposed on Tsarist Russia in the Treaty of Paris after the Crimean War were abolished.
The Russians even obtained a colony north of Cape Town.
A group of Tsarist Russians wanted to get such a warm land, and now it finally came true.
In fact, the two sides have reached a military alliance agreement.
Just to prevent irritating other countries in Europe, this alliance agreement is temporarily kept secret.
The French also discovered it. After the French returned to Europa, they would first target France.
Nathan now sees France's hope of dominating Europa.
Half of his feet have already stepped into the threshold of overlord.
The Queen's visit happened to bypass France.
In name, the Queen is a close relative. The royal families of the Netherlands, Prussia and Tsarist Russia are all relatives of the Queen.
As for Emperor Nathan, he was a bumpkin from Corsica, but he had nothing to do with the royal family of Europe.
Even when Nasan hoped to marry a royal woman to improve his bloodline, no European royal family was interested in her.
It is for this reason that Nathan has been working very hard to make France the number one power in Europa.
When he dominates Europa, he must make all these royal families who have ruled Europa for thousands of years crawl under his feet.
In the following time, Dong Shuheng completely shifted his attention to internal construction.
The construction of the Su Yinshi Canal has been put on hold, and the construction of the Renaissance Army's military bases in East Africa does not have to be so urgent, which can save a lot of resources.
Large farmers who contract land in East Africa find that the semi-arid land is ideal for growing pasture and soybeans.
So much so that it has become the largest pasture producing area in the future.
At this time, due to the increase in population, the European countries had a serious shortage of internal forage, and no one in their colonies was willing to grow these low-value-added things. Therefore, the export of pasture and feed for the Renaissance Army in East Africa became an emerging industry.
.
Eight years after the Restoration, the fighting between the north and the south of America was very fierce.
The campaign began with Indian attacks on Minnesota and Wisconsin in the seventh year of the Restoration.
Then the Northern Army sent 50,000 people westward to support the west bank of the Great Lakes.
At this time, Wall led the main force of the Kansas Army northward, and hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides faced off at the Springfield line.
At the same time, the Western Army of the Union Army mobilized 50,000 elite troops, led by General Sherman, through Kentucky and secretly marched south through the Great Smoky Mountains.
The Canadian-Chinese army led by Liu Qingbei was already on its way eastward.
The Yintian people are indeed no match for the Northern Army. Although they now have advanced muskets, they are still essentially a group of hunters.
When facing a large-scale regular army, the tactics of sneak attack and harassment will not be of much effect.
Therefore, the Yin Di'an people could only retreat while fighting.
Naturally, the Northern Army could not let these Yin Di'an people escape so easily.
The entire Huxi area has become devastated, and these Yindi'an people can come and leave whenever they want.
Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to these white people?
White people are always proud when facing the Yin Di'an people, and every white man cannot tolerate the Yin Di'an people bullying him.
An army of fifty thousand whites pursued the Indians into Minnesota and to the Mississippi River.
They actually found the family records of the Yin Di'an people here.
Now these Yin Di'an people can't run away.
So 50,000 Northern troops began to cut down trees on the river to build pontoon bridges in preparation for crossing the river to attack.
The whole process went smoothly. The Yintian people wanted to come over and destroy the construction of the pontoon bridge, but they were repelled by white people's artillery fire.
If nothing else happens, an accident will happen at this time.
