Time is like running water. If people don't pay attention, it will disappear quickly. However, at this time, the Chinese people are in dire straits, and the most uncomfortable person is Li Ningyu, because although he holds a hundred
Wan Xiongbing, but he needs to move forward cautiously.
Because if he makes even the slightest mistake, he will declare full-scale war with the great powers. Even if he wins, he will lose a narrow victory, and if he loses, he will be doomed. Therefore, he plans everything in the future carefully, because the Far East will remain silent.
Already, one hit will be astonishing.
One and a half years seemed to go very quickly. At this time, Li Ningyu was already a young man, but he still looked like he was under 20 years old. Although he was a little puzzled by this, he ignored it. The major sectors in the Far East
They are all under construction at a high speed, and they need weapons, ammunition, supplies, and food reserves. At this time, they have enough for ten years, but why is Li Ningyu not ready to take action?
Because he is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for him to use problems in Asia, but it seems that the great powers who know the Far East are all familiar with Li Ningyu's temper, so in the past two years, he has almost never found any excuses for the Far East, but is it possible that Li Ningyu
Is it really like this?
No, it's not that he can't find the opportunity, but that he still wants to wait. What are he waiting for? What he is waiting for is the appearance of a new batch of officer cadets, the launch of a newly built warship, and the ability to carry
The steel backbone of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, because he does not want to sacrifice too many pillars of the nation in battles with disparity in strength, so he is patient, but he will never forget one thing, that is to spur his subordinates, because he needs
Let the soldiers of the Far East hold back all their strength, and finally burst out to give the enemy a severe blow.
Using rare earth resources, the steel refined is more durable and high-quality than ordinary steel, and it also greatly improves production efficiency during the production process. The major shipyards of the Far East Navy have always been the main force in building large ships, small torpedo boats and destroyers.
They are all customized and purchased from powerful countries.
The first-generation Yellow River-class ironclad battleships and Yangtze-class heavy cruisers have not completely stopped production, but the Far East Group is now mainly building the Taishan-class dreadnought battleships with all main guns, and the Baichuan-class light cruisers are also being built in large quantities. The Far East currently has eight major shipyards
.
On average, eight to nine large new warships are launched and delivered every two years, but the production costs are 1.5 times higher than normal. That is to say, every two years, the cost of building warships in the Far East is approximately 32 million pounds.
The combined annual tax revenue of North Korea, Kyushu, Hokkaido, Taiwan, Ryukyu, Somalia, Hawaii, and Alaska is only 35 million pounds, which means that all the finances of the Far East just cover the cost of building new warships for the navy every year.
The fixed annual military expenditure of the Far East military system is as high as 9 million pounds, and the annual investment in the four major sectors is also a huge amount. Therefore, Li Ningyu has a huge funding gap in front of him every year.
The Qing Dynasty controlled a large amount of territory, which directly led to the original purchase of rare earths. Fortunately, there is a pillar industry of cigarettes, otherwise the capital chain in the Far East would have been broken long ago.
However, after some calculations by Mr. Chen Fang, Minister of Finance, the Far East’s current monthly profits from industries such as rare earths and cigarettes can just support the Far East’s annual military expenditure of 25 million pounds, and the annual tax revenue is directly used for construction in various places.
Investment, but there are too many places to use money. Scientific research, the research and development and production of new weapons, weapons and ammunition needed for military expansion. Money is needed everywhere. In addition, the gold mined in Alaska is stored in reserves, so it is circulated.
The funds are getting less and less.
But everything is okay, because the issuance of non-yuan, Asian dollars, and US dollars proposed by Li Ningyu many years ago has been fully circulated in the four major sectors, directly adding 3.5 billion taels of silver reserves to the Far East Group, and this amount
Li Ningyu has never used the money, which puzzled Mr. Chen Fang. Li Ningyu did not elaborate, but he made a request, that is, not to issue too much paper currency, but to use gold
issued based on the reserve amount.
In 1897, a total of 16 new ships were launched into service in the Far East, totaling 85,000 tons. According to the current level of 250,000 tons in the Far East, that is an annual increase of 15% in total tonnage, and in such a fiscal year
When he was nervous, Li Ningyu announced that he would use 1.5 billion taels of silver from his reserves to build two large shipyards in Hawaii, two large shipyards and a submarine construction shipyard in Alaska, and one in Taiwan, Ryukyu, and Hokkaido.
After seeing such a plan, all the senior officials of the Far East system were stunned, because they thought that once these docks were built, the Far East would be able to build new warships of about 150,000-200,000 tons every two years.
,does their eldest young master want to attack the British Empire?
In fact, their guess was wrong. Britain is only one of Li Ningyu's goals. His ultimate goal is to dominate the world and dominate the earth!!!
The Spanish Empire in Europe was one of the maritime powers in the 16th century, but it also gradually declined in the torrent of history. In just 25 years, Spain changed 34 governments and promulgated 7 constitutions.
There have been more than 15 catastrophes in the country, and various sycophant groups have taken turns to come to power.
Isabella II herself lived a decadent and decadent life, and sometimes interfered in domestic politics in willful and irrational ways. The queen seemed to particularly favor reactionary elements in the army and church, which made her in Spain
She is even more hateful in the human heart. She was almost assassinated twice, but she was lucky enough to escape both times.
After experiencing the military uprising from 1843 to 1854, the reformists launched a revolution from 1854 to 1856, allowing Espartero, who returned to the country in 1848 due to amnesty, to return to power. Espartero soon retired.
It was the rule of the Free League from 1856 to 1863. Later, the Free League and the warlords took turns to come to power. They excluded reformists and all progressives from political power.
Therefore, throughout the reign of Isabella II, the living conditions of the Spanish people did not improve. The government controlled by traitors and the army was extremely corrupt, and the queen's court itself was a source of corruption. Various reasons finally led to the 1868
The outbreak of the Glorious Revolution in Spain.
After the reformist general Juan launched a failed military coup in 1866, after two years of preparation, and the death of two generals she usually relied on, her position was seriously weakened, so Juan launched another coup in 1868.
The incident resulted in the successful overthrow of the government. Isabella II fled to France at the end of September 1868 after the sporadic resistance of the conservative officers on whom she relied mainly was crushed by Juan's army.
Although she was in exile, she always insisted on her monarchical power and longed for the restoration of her throne day and night. For this reason, she contacted her political enemies, the Carlists, and was even willing to provide them with financial assistance. However, the Carlists rejected her assistance.
It was not until 1870 that Isabella II officially announced her abdication in Paris in the hope that her son Alfonso could inherit the Spanish crown.
However, the Italian prince Amedeo was chosen as the monarch of Spain. In December of that year, Juan was assassinated, which put Amedeo in a very embarrassing situation. Because he was unable to cope with the chaotic situation in Spain, Amedeo I
After voluntarily abdicating the throne in 1873, the Republicans established the First Republic of Spain. In 1874, the royalist general Arsenio launched a coup to welcome back Alfonso XII. After Alfonso XII was restored, Isabella
La II still lives in France.
Alfonso XIII was the posthumous son of Alfonso XII. Before he came of age in 1902, his mother Maria was the regent of Spain. This time before the Spanish-American War, Li Ningyu decided to visit Spain in person to meet this man.
Maria was the regent of the Empress Dowager, so at the end of December 1897, Li Ningyu took four newly launched large ships from Somalia, plus several frigates and torpedo ships to form a temporary fleet to visit Spain.
After entering the Gulf of Aden, it turned into the Red Sea, and finally entered the Mediterranean Sea. It had been sailing at sea for three days. When this temporary fleet in the Far East passed through the Libyan waters, the Italian fleet was surprised because they did not receive the call.
The notice said that the Far East Fleet would pass through the Mediterranean waters, but all this was Li Ningyu's deliberate behavior. He just wanted to intimidate Italy.
