Tobacco and rare earths were once one of the fundamentals for the survival and development of the Far East Group. However, after more than ten years of unremitting efforts, the prototype of the Far East has taken shape. Especially after the overall victory against the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the Far East Group received a large amount of war reparations.
In addition, the trade income of Ryukyu and Hawaii, the industrial development of North Korea and Somalia, and the gold produced every year in Alaska.
The Far East Military Group is completely able to operate independently. As long as no major changes occur, there is no problem maintaining normal expenditures. However, if it is necessary to expand the army and build warships, Li Ningyu will still need to prepare additional funds. However, in the next five years,
Li Ningyu is not planning to continue building large-scale maritime ships.
European countries were very happy about Li Ningyu's five-year plan. On the contrary, European countries were uncharacteristically different, especially between the United Kingdom and Germany. Just after the war in the Far East and the South China Sea between France and France, France announced its unconditional surrender, and the United Kingdom signed an agreement with France.
Sincere agreement.
Although this agreement seems to have nothing to do with the military alliance, it is just an agreement to settle the settlement of colonies in various places. However, in the face of the post-war advantages of the Far East, under the instigation of France, Britain, Tsarist Russia, and France secretly signed some side agreements.
.
After France announced its unconditional defeat, France, Britain and Tsarist Russia secretly formed a Three-Nation Entente due to the potential threat of German expansion. From then on, the European sector was divided into two camps. According to Li Ningyu's guess, as long as there is any trouble in Europe
, has evolved into a larger-scale war, because after all, in the eyes of Europeans, the Far East and Germany have completely come together.
During Bismarck's reign, in view of the initial stage of the German Empire at that time, he had always been less involved in the fight for colonies. However, after the German King William II came to the throne, Bismarck was dismissed from his post and directly defected to the Far East. However, William later
II also discovered that Germany had too few overseas colonies.
There were serious deficiencies in terms of the origin of raw materials and commodity market transactions, so he began to implement a global policy, requiring the expansion of the navy and land forces, and preparing to redefine the global sphere of influence. However, this offended the established colonial power at the time, the United Kingdom.
Both sides had their own interests with France, so in the Eight-Nation Alliance incident, William II chose an alliance with the Far East.
The two major groups in the world have emerged, that is, the United Kingdom and Germany. However, their common ally in the Far East has been erratic and has not made it clear which side it will favor if a war breaks out between Britain and Germany. Therefore, the two major military groups have previously
, a fierce arms race took place.
Before 1900, the German Empire formulated new naval laws and massively expanded the original navy. At the same time, in order to maintain its absolute superiority in maritime power and maintain the status of the empire on which the sun never sets, Britain began to
It is planned to build a Far East Taishan-class dreadnought battleship, but the tonnage will directly develop to more than 20,000 tons.
Seeing that Britain was following closely behind, Germany announced in 1901 that it would also start building dreadnought battleships, and used a new two-to-one naval policy to always maintain the number of dreadnought battleships in the German Navy, which was twice that of Germany.
As for the army, as early as 1880 to 1900, Germany's domestic standing army had expanded from 420,000 to 870,000, while France's had expanded from 500,000 to 800,000.
Due to the Northeast War, Tsarist Russia's army has increased from 800,000 to 2.3 million. It is the largest army in Europe. However, its quality is very low and cannot be compared with the field armies of Germany, France and the Far East. At the same time, it cannot be compared with the field armies of the German alliance.
The Austro-Hungarian Army also expanded from 270,000 to 800,000, and the Italian Army expanded from 200,000 to 350,000.
At the same time, the United States in the Americas has also expanded its army from 130,000 to 360,000. Some of them are mixed US-Japanese armies, mainly stationed in North America to defend the Far East Army.
As for the Far East Military Group, since the end of the counterattack against the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the number of the army has not expanded and has always remained at a battle order of 1.7 million. Among them, 550,000 field troops are deployed in the Northeast, 250,000 in South Asia, 350,000 in Alaska, and 350,000 in Africa.
An army of 350,000 people has been deployed. The navy will only integrate repaired warships into various fleets in the early stage. The newly built destroyers are currently patrolling in Asia.
However, the field army in the Far East is different from the colonial armies deployed by various countries around the world. The Far East has always adopted the military field system, because no matter in any sector, after the Far East is redistributed, there will still be a lot of idle land, so
The Far East will station a large army in a certain area, and the soldiers of each company will have their own areas of responsibility.
Soldiers in wartime and farmers in leisure time. The military garrisoned fields implemented a system of free labor, and the grain earned served as military rations for the troops. It was precisely because of the implementation of such a military garrison system in the Far East that any sector in the Far East not only contributed to the local agricultural economy.
The rapid recovery and development have simultaneously strengthened the political influence of the Far East and consolidated the economic power of the Far East, gaining an absolute advantage for the Far East Group in the world of competition and laying a solid economic and security foundation for the Far East's hegemony in Asia.
Of course, this is not the case everywhere. For example, Alaska cannot grow a large amount of food crops due to weather conditions. However, among the 350,000 field troops deployed here in the Far East, except for 50,000 soldiers who have been guarding the border areas for a long time, the remaining 300,000
They are all invested in gold mining, mainly used to supervise production and post-production of gold mines. After all, in the past five years, the Far East has immigrated to more than 1.5 million people from Africa.
However, it seems that Alaska's gold mines and oil still need greater mining capacity, so Li Ningyu clearly gave instructions in Alaska's second five-year plan, that is, after immigrating 15 million people from Africa,
After all, Alaska's population is too small.
Alaska is not only about gold and oil, but also salmon, mineral products, high-quality wood, and planting fertilizers, so Li Ningyu is planning to let Huanyu Investment Company build ten large-scale food processing plants in Alaska to make fish.
Canned food will be specially supplied to the Far East Army in the future.
This also laid a solid foundation for the commercial aircraft carrier Huanyu Investment Group, which Li Ningyu personally controlled, because any investment made by Li Ningyu was attached to the Far East Military and provided sufficient logistics support systems for the Far East, thus also allowing
The Far East military will win glorious victories again and again on the battlefields of the future.
