Lin Youde's mysterious strategy achieved far greater results than he expected. In the short period of time from when he set sail in Bei Jing until he arrived in Holland, there was news that "the ruler of the South Pacific sent troops to perform a mysterious mission in Russia."
It spread all over the world through cables.
However, the world seems to be used to the horror brought by Lin Youde, and people in various countries have more things to care about at this time. People in the Austro-Hungarian Empire are talking about Bosnia controlled by the Ottoman Empire, a war dominated by Serbs, Montenegrins, and Croats.
A widespread anti-oppression movement is flourishing in this border province of the Ottoman Empire, while the neighboring Serbian Principality is eager to take advantage of this opportunity to acquire the land they have coveted and embark on the journey to achieve "Greater Serbia and Co-Prosperity"
the first step.
The Principality of Serbia in this time and space is even more radical than in the previous time and space. In the previous time and space, Russia proclaimed itself the guardian of Orthodox Christians and supported the Serbians in establishing a principality as the vanguard against the Ottoman Empire and other Western countries. In this time and space, Russia was defeated in the Balkans.
It's a bit tragic that the Principality of Serbia was supported by the British. The British were afraid that Russia would take over the Balkans after the collapse of Ottoman Turkey, which would threaten British control in the Middle East and cut off the connection between the British Empire and India. Therefore, the British were afraid that Russia would occupy the Balkans after the collapse of Ottoman Turkey.
The Orthodox Church, a country of Slavic Serbs, was added between them and the Russians to cut off the excuse for the Russians to go south. How could the protectors of the Orthodox Christians invade an independent Orthodox country? In this time and space
Russia does not have the domineering power of the "Russian steamroller" of the previous time and space, so "righteousness" is more important to them.
The Austrians hope that Bosnia can be incorporated into their own empire. Franz Konrad von Hauszendonna, Marshal of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Commander-in-Chief of the Austro-Hungarian Army, has been encouraging Austria to send troops to occupy Bosnia and invade the Principality of Serbia."
Solve the border issue once and for all”.
But the Hungarians did not agree. The Hungarian Parliament in Budapest rejected the proposal to send troops, which made the Hungarian Prime Minister always in a sad state when he came to Vienna. The Hungarians were worried that annexing Bosnia or even the Principality of Serbia would reduce the number of Slavs in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
surpassing the Austrians and Hungarians, causing the Dual Empire to turn into a Triarchic Empire - this is exactly what the Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand wanted. The Hungarians have created many difficulties for Archduke Ferdinand, but there is no such thing as
Reason to give in at this time.
So the attention of the newspapers in the Austro-Hungarian Empire was entirely focused on the political disputes in Vienna, the war in the distant center of Russia, and what the Oriental did in even more distant places. They didn't care.
Of course, if any romantic stories about the Austrian princess who is a piano teacher and Lin Youde come back, the major newspapers will still be happy to provide some eye-catching pages. It is a pity that the beautiful granddaughter of Princess Sissi seems to be really not good at impressing men.
heart of.
In France, Poincaré's cabinet was caught in a sudden political scandal. His old rival Joseph Caillot was using his power to seize power from Poincaré in a planned and step-by-step manner. And there has always been "
Georges Clemenceau, known as the "tiger", fiercely criticized Poincaré in the newspaper "Zi You" he founded, so Poincaré became angry and sealed the newspaper. As a result, Clemenceau
A week later, Shuo founded the "Thinking in Shackles" newspaper. This newspaper, whose name was full of provocations from the beginning, quickly won a large number of readers.
The British are busy preparing for the Queen's wedding. The scale of the wedding is so large that the entire British Empire has focused its attention on the wedding and has no time to care about it.
Only the Germans were watching Lin Youde's actions.
At the end of February 1908, just one day before Lin Youde arrived in Netherlands, the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a telegram stating that the Empress of the German Empire and Empress of the Netherlands Wilhelmina would visit the Chinese Federation. As one of the preparatory work for the Empress's visit, Bismarck
Her granddaughter, Catherine von Bismarck, a first-class Teutonic knight of the German Empire, will serve as Wilhelmina's captain of the guard and lead a team to the Chinese Federation in advance to prepare for the reception.
On the day Lin Youde returned to Horangabo, a grand welcome ceremony was held in the city.
Lin Youde likes military parades. Everyone knows this. Only Lin Youde himself is not aware that he has this hobby. His wives have repeatedly reminded him that he should be diligent and thrifty and avoid such spectacles, but Lin Youde did not listen.
Lin Youde's reputation in the Admiralty Department and within Lin Ji was too high, coupled with the various blessings in his skills, which gave him enough confidence to ignore suggestions he didn't want to hear. He also made up a "theory".
It was said that grand ostentation can "stimulate consumption and increase domestic demand", and a series of deceptions were carried out based on this point. Even Pakistan began to be a little doubtful.
When Lin Youde was an ordinary citizen, he was also very opposed to this kind of spectacle and asked to reduce administrative expenses. Now Lin Youde is standing at the top of society. He has faithfully shown his side of the ordinary citizen. There are many outstanding people with noble character and integrity in the world.
Leaders, such as the founding prime minister of the last Time and Space Rabbit Dynasty, how can Lin Youde reach that level?
And the position of his wives on such issues that do not involve major principles has somehow become weaker and weaker, showing more and more favoritism and doting towards their husbands.
Therefore, Lin Youde seemed to be even less frugal in terms of frugality - well, in fact, he had never been frugal from the beginning to the end. And the people below him were keenly aware of this tendency and began to change their ways to suit his liking.
When the White Trojan landed in Subic Bay, all the warships still in the port sounded their sirens. The capital ships that Lin Youde spent a lot of energy and money to build began to use large-caliber main guns to fire salutes. The specifications were impressive.
Twenty-one bells are used to welcome the head of state.
When the White Trojan docked, the gangplank was set up and the red carpet was laid out, Lin Youde appeared on the ship's side with Konoe Shinji.
Viewed from the side of the ship, the honor guards lined up on the pier were like pieces of Swiss candies of different colors, filling the entire pier one after another.
Next to Lin Youde, Isabella suddenly smiled.
"I remember what happened ten years ago." She said softly, "At that time, you were below, leading the team standing on the edge. You are the host, but I didn't even know your name before we docked.
I don’t even remember the spelling, I only know the pronunciation.”
"And now you are my woman, stand here with me overlooking the army that belongs to me completely." Lin Youde said, he reached out his hand unnoticed and pinched Isabella's hair hanging by her side.
palm.
At this time, Josephine interjected: "Nominally, the Navy is the army of the Federation. Although it was built and maintained by you, and it obeys your command. Rondebell and us, the Imperial Guard Goddess, are your private soldiers.
."
"Private soldiers..." Lin Youde chewed on Josephine's words, and an idea that he had never thought of before crossed his mind. He stretched out the tentacles of his thinking without hesitation, caught it, and pulled it into his thinking circuit.
"What's wrong?" Josephine and Isabella noticed that Lin Youde suddenly fell into deep thought, and asked in unison.
"Nothing." Lin Youde shook his head, "I suddenly had a good idea. Let me refine it and formally propose it to everyone for discussion at the staff meeting in a few days."
At this time, Luo Tianyi and Ba, who had returned to Horangabo first, walked onto the gangplank. Because Luo Tianyi was the top person in charge of the security of Horangabo before Josephine came ashore, so she was the first two
Salute Lin Youde step by step.
"Reporting to Mr. Lin, the wind-receiving ceremony is ready, please give instructions."
"Start." Lin Youde said.
So Lin Youde stepped off the gangplank and began to review the troops amidst the majestic music of an adapted version of the Soviet march, with his beauties following behind him.
This review was different from the past. During the period when Lin Youde went to Beijing, some small changes occurred in the military strength of Helang Yabo. These changes were carefully reflected in the parade planners.
The composition of the reading force.
First of all, there are the first batch of war mikos sent by Ise Shrine. I don’t know if Kaguya specially selected them or what happened. These girls are all about the same height, and all of them are as dark and beautiful as waterfalls.
She has long straight hair and substantial breasts. The laces of the miko uniform can be slightly tightened to highlight the bulge on her chest. Coupled with the unique charm of the miko uniform itself, it really caught Lin Youde's attention.
Lin Youde even hesitated to slow down in front of the formation of witches, his eyes lingering between the bright eyes and white teeth of the girls without blinking.
Tomoe coughed slightly.
Lin Youde then resumed his previous pace, with a slight embarrassment on his face.
A girl in the witch queue couldn't hold back her laughter. Her beautiful dimples made Lin Youde glance at the witch queue a few more times.
"Is it possible that this is a honey trap?" Lin Youde muttered in his heart, "These girls were selected based on my preferences."
The more Lin Youde thought about it, the more it seemed possible. At this time, Japan had started to modernize less than half a century ago and was still very feudal. Women in Japan had always had the tradition of sacrificing themselves to fulfill the "great cause". If the "great cause" required them to do anything,
If they fall in love with Lin Youde unreservedly, they will love him.
Walking past the Yamato Nadeshikos, there is the formation of the Marine Corps Okinawa Frogger Task Force. Ever since Lin Youde came up with the concept of "fifty-six ethnic groups", the Okinawans have been using all their connections to ask Lin Youde not to classify them.
When entering the Yamato tribe, they hope to become the most powerful Okinawa tribe like the Ainu tribe in Hokkaido, and this frogman force is the naval authorities' actual response to the Okinawa people. The troops are selected from Okinawa fishermen, all of whom are Nari.
A master like Bai Tiao.
The position of this force is similar to the Navy SEALs of the American Empire in the last time and space, responsible for infiltration, reconnaissance and destruction in coastal areas.
Next came the formation of the Aztec foreign mercenary group - the Aztec country is different from Japan, which was annexed and became part of the federation. Internationally, it is an independent country, so it can only organize the foreign mercenary group like this.
.
The Indian boys with slightly red skin stood up straight, their solemn faces painted with oil paint, their military uniforms were full of Indian characteristics, and the submachine guns in their hands were also hung with various Indian ornaments, and there were vegetable patches on the bayonet latches.
Feather. There is also an Indian shaman in the queue - originally the Aztec priests were all held by goddesses, but after they were conquered by the whites, the Indian goddesses were either killed or captured and taken to the ooxx, so they could only be used by the priests.
Ordinary old Indian women filled these offices.
This time when the Indian country was established, the United States did not return the 11 registered Indian gods to the Indians, so the Aztecs were one of the few countries in the world that had no gods at all.
Behind them is the Serbian Foreign Mercenary Group. The Slavs have just arrived in Horangabo, but their morale is very high. There is also an Orthodox priest in their ranks.
After reviewing the troops, Lin Youde was very satisfied.
“In the future,” he said to his wives on the bus back to the base camp, “the colorful ethnic and cultural composition of our army will be the best evidence of the ideas we advocate. People from different ethnic groups and different cultures will
The fact that cultural systems and even people of different races are fighting side by side on the same battlefield will illustrate our claims to the world."
"Then you can have beauties from different cultures, nationalities and races in your hands, right?" Josephine joked.
"Oh no," Lin Youde shook his head, "I don't discriminate against black people, but I can't appreciate the beauty of black women."
"He likes white and tender breasts." Luo Tianyi, who was sitting at the far end, said, and then added a little bitterly, "And the breasts must be big, otherwise I can only be a younger sister or a daughter."
Lin Youde laughed happily and reached out to touch Luo Tianyi's head. (To be continued...)
