Jackson has always been unoptimistic about the key to Van Roe, and this is the key.

Although as an "offshore" country, the Nuland Republic has many special features, and it is certainly impossible to copy the development experience of the Liangxia Empire, and in the more than 200 years of history after getting rid of colonial rule and establishing an independent state, the Nuland Republic has also pursued an independent development strategy, but when it comes to specific matters, especially the military strategy closely related to national security, that is another matter.

It must be admitted that the success of the Liang Xia Empire, especially in the Second Global War, had an immeasurable impact on the Republic of Nuland.

Prior to the Second World War, the impact of the Liangxia Empire was relatively limited.

The reason is also very simple, before winning the Second Global War, the Liangxia Empire was still a land power country, and its maritime attributes were not very prominent.

Although the Liangxia Empire has built one of the world's best navies and made extremely brilliant achievements, its core interests are still based on land power, and the external expansion around the country's core interests is mainly concentrated on the world island.

Even in its heyday, such as the time of Chen Bingxun, the Liangxia Empire did not rely much on sea power.

To a large extent, the Liang Xia Empire's efforts to build a powerful navy were more like icing on the cake, or to consolidate land power on the islands of the world.

Obviously, for Nuland, who was far away from the World Island, land power was far less important than sea power, so for a long time, it was the Kingdom of Bran that it was imitated.

It wasn't until the end of World War II that the Nuland authorities suddenly discovered that the Liangxia Empire was the real model.

Although the Liangxia Empire was still a typical land power, by winning the Second Global War, it was tantamount to using facts to prove that land power and sea power were not two choices, and with its successful experience, only land power power could have the possibility of developing into land and sea powers.

Especially in the First Global War, the Liang Xia Empire proved with its actions that a strong land power country, as long as it can maintain its basic territory, even if it loses all its overseas colonies, can re-emerge in a short period of time and become strong again.

Of course, the "fundamentals" here are not just about local security.

The defeat of the Bran Kingdom also proves that in the face of a land power power that is one level higher in strength, the chances of a sea power power winning are actually very slim.

To put it more directly, the center of human civilization will always be on the world island, and the land power located on the world island has the inherent advantage of controlling the center of human civilization. For the powers outside the world island, in order to play the role of offshore balance, in addition to having a strong navy, they must also have a strong enough army. Otherwise, it will become an offshore country and will not be able to play a balancing role.

In fact, before the rise of the Liang Xia Empire, the Bran Kingdom could be regarded as a strong country on land and sea. Even in some periods, such as when the Locke Empire dominated the Western Continent, the land military power of the Bran Kingdom was relatively weak, and the Bran authorities would use other methods, such as forming an alliance with the Kingdom of Bran, to obtain the land military power needed to balance the opponent, so as to give full play to the advantages of sea power more effectively.

It was in this way that after the end of the Second Global War, the Republic of Nuland began to study the Liangxia Empire in general, especially military strategy.

Even if it is not copied, it is deliberately imitated.

For example, during the Polish-Iranian War, the Liangxia Army began to attach importance to aviation, focusing on building a battlefield airlift force dominated by helicopters, and based on this, created air assault tactics. The Nuland Army followed suit, creating the world's second-largest army aviation force.

Of course, the imitation and learning of the Liangxia Empire is more reflected in strategic thinking.

To put it simply, it means that the land and sea are planted together, and great importance is attached to the popularization and application of advanced technology, and a very high status is given to the technical services and arms.

The most representative, that is, the Air Force.

To a large extent, the Nuland Air Force is actually the Liangxia Air Force that is one size smaller, and the two are highly consistent in terms of basic establishment and even equipment type.

According to the internal point of view of the Nuland army, there is definitely nothing wrong with imitating and learning from the Liang Xia Empire!

Of course, in terms of military doctrine, this is even more so.

Strictly speaking, the Republic of Nuland was also the only country that could keep up with the rhythm of the Liangxia Empire and translate the theory of the new military doctrine into practice.

The reason is very simple, only the Republic of Nuland has the strength to push forward the third round of military change.

In addition, the Nuland Republic is indeed actively promoting the third round of military reforms, and hopes to shorten the gap with the Liangxia Empire.

At least in the eyes of young officers like Jackson, this was the only way to catch up with the Liangxia Empire.

The point is that the Republic of Nuland is a typical offshore country, and it naturally has many advantages that the Liangxia Empire does not have, and it can make up for the gap in national strength.

The most important thing is that the Nuland Republic does not need to expend a lot of resources to strengthen its homeland defenses in order to protect its homeland.

As the number one power in the Western Hemisphere, the Republic of Nuland not only occupies the most fertile land in the northern continent, but also has only two neighbors. The point is that both neighbors are weak and have long since given up the idea of hegemony, and both have become allies of the Nuland Republic.

Once upon a time, neighbors to the south also wanted to be incorporated into the Republic of Nuland.

As for the Maple Leaf Kingdom to the north, after the Second Global War, it has been reduced to a supernumerary state of Newland, and even its defense and security are completely dependent on the Republic of Newland.

Although the Arras region fell into the hands of the Liangxia Empire, threatening the northwest region of Nuland, the particularity of the Arras region made the Nuland authorities not have to worry about this for the time being, at least in order to prevent the thousands of officers and soldiers of the Liangxia Army stationed in the Arras region, they deployed heavy troops in the northwest region of the mainland. In fact, thousands of kilometers of frozen snow alone are enough to keep the invaders at bay.

In this way, the Nuland Republic can devote more resources to external expansion.

In fact, this is also the key to the Nuland Republic's courage to expand in the Caribbean and the southern continent after the Great War, to be precise, after the Liangxia Empire broke with the Manman Empire. It was in these ten years that the Nuland Republic accomplished feats that were not possible during the Great War. It swept almost the entire Nangu Continent, allowing many countries that had taken refuge in the Liangxia Empire or the Empire of the Elder Empire during the Great War to return to the embrace of the Nuland Republic. The key point is that the Nuland Republic also formed the North Orphan Group on this basis.

It is said that it is the "Northern Orphan" group, just because the original member countries are several countries of the Northern Lonely Continent, and after several rounds of expansion, it has included almost all the countries of the Southern Lonely Continent. It was for this reason that some Member States had proposed a name change, which they felt was anachronistic.

From this, it is not difficult to see that the Nuland Republic alone is actually more willing to compete with the Liangxia Empire through an arms race.

Rooted in the Western Hemisphere, the Nuland Republic is invincible.

As for the global war, the Republic of Nuland has no chance of winning.

From this point of view, it can be clearly seen that in the strategic system of the Nuland Republic, Van Luo is actually a carefully arranged chess piece that is sacrificed at the last moment. Even if it is an ally of the Nuland Republic, the greatest value of the Van Luo Kingdom is only to block the guns for the Nuland Republic.

As long as the main goal can be achieved, the Khowaii Islands can be recovered, and the kingdom of Van Luo can be sacrificed.

Besides, with half a world apart and sea and air transport cut off, even if the Republic of Nuland is unwilling to let go, it may not be able to save the country.

On the contrary, too many resources are expended in the country of Van Luo, which will definitely have negative consequences.

In addition, even if it is not able to reach an armistice agreement with the Liang Xia Empire, it does not mean that the Nuland Republic will definitely defend the Van Luo Kingdom.

In the current situation, the focus should be on the western continent.

Although the large-scale combat operations on the mainland battlefield have come to an end due to the weather, when spring arrives in a few months, a decisive battle will be inevitable.

Whoever gets the last laugh will depend on the preparation made in the months before that.

As far as Jackson knew, the main force of the army had already gone to the Western Continent, and it would certainly send its main battle equipment over the next few months.

If anything, this is the main reason why the Ministry of Defense is vague about the matter of assisting the country.

Subsequently, the latest directives sent by the Department of Defense once again confirmed Jackson's guess.

Continuing to wait, the basic strategy for the southern subcontinent will not be adjusted or changed for the time being, and the first task of the military advisory group is to stabilize the situation in Decheng.

Subsequently, the Pentagon sent a strategic plan.

Jackson did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately went to the Prime Minister's Office.

This plan is not directly related to the kingdom of Van Luo, but the significance is extraordinary.

The Grey House has approved a plan to advance and de facto resistance in Austria, and has also given the Navy full responsibility, which is expected to be implemented in three months at the earliest, and within six months at the latest, and the Navy will arrange a fleet to respond to ensure that the resistance launched by the indigenous people of Austria can be successful.

According to the Ministry of Defence, 5 million indigenous people have responded to the call, and 500,000 of them are willing to take up arms to fight those in power.

However, there is definitely moisture in these numbers, but no one can say for sure how big they are.

There is no doubt that this is a full dose of chicken blood!

Tigara was very excited, as if Ozhou had returned to the hands of the aborigines, or that the aboriginal rebellion would be successful.

Jackson knew very well that Degala was deliberately acting like an idiot, and that he had already seen through the tricks of the Gray Palace.

Armed resistance of the Austrian aborigines against the new immigrants?

Not to mention how to arm the aborigines, even if there are enough weapons to arm the aborigines, they will certainly not be the opponent of the Austrian Defense Force.

Moreover, the indigenous people may not necessarily respond to the call of the Nuland Republic.

Even if it's a genuine fool, I'm afraid he won't take advantage of someone else's fire when he knows he will fail.

What's more, the Nuland authorities are writing a blank check that cannot be cashed at all.

Although in the past few decades, especially in the last two years of the Second Global War, and more than a decade after the war, under the leadership of the Liangxia Empire, tens of millions of new immigrants poured into Austria, occupied large tracts of land, and controlled a large amount of resources, for the old immigrants who had already lived here, the impact of the new immigrants actually outweighed the disadvantages, or the old immigrants were also the beneficiaries of the great post-war development.

The reason is simple: the population of Austria is too small.

Because of the lack of population, Aozhoukong has a vast land and rich resources, and after more than 100 years of development, it is just a super village.

As for social status, it's a minor issue.

Don't forget that Austria is also a defeated country.

At the time of the defeat, the old immigrants of Ozhou knew that their fate was in the hands of the victorious powers, and that it would be nice if basic human rights could be guaranteed.

Dominance of the state?

Obviously, that's a matter for the ruling class, and it has little to do with the common people.

But in fact, after the war, the old immigrants in Austria gained more than basic human rights.

After the end of the transition period, social order in Austria was restored to normal, and the authorities treated old and new immigrants equally, and old immigrants were not discriminated against.

Crucially, with the rapid development after the war, tens of millions of old immigrants also enjoyed the benefits of industrialization.

To say, in the Eastern Bloc with the Liangxia Empire as the absolute core, Austria has always been one of the richest countries with its rich resources. In terms of per capita income, Austria surpassed the Liangxia Empire, three times the Eastern Bloc average, and 20 times that of the five poorest member states. Even compared with Western countries, Austria's per capita income is very high, which is not ordinary wealth, it is simply rich.

Life is so comfortable, what reason is there to rebel?

It is undeniable that there are certainly poor people in Austria, and they are mainly old immigrants.

The problem is that these poor people who are dissatisfied with the authorities are not very large, their proportion is very small, and it is difficult to gain the support and sympathy of other old immigrants.

It is precisely for this reason that the Nuland Republic has been engaged in rebellion for decades, but it has always achieved little success.

Counting on the aborigines to seize the continent is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Of course, when he got this plan, Jackson realized that the Hwaseong authorities had abandoned the Van Luo Kingdom, which could not hold up the wall.

The final value of the kingdom of Van Luo is only to hold on for a few more months.

With a land area of 3 million square kilometers and a population of 1 billion, even if all the Vatican armies were to collapse at the touch of a button, they would definitely be able to hold out for several months.

Of course, you can't pierce this layer of window paper.

Otherwise, Jackson would not have found Tigara in the first place, convincing Tigara that the Republic of Nuland had not given up on Van Luo.

As for what to do next, Jackson didn't know what to do.

To be precise, he is also helpless.

It was in this way that after returning to the station, Jackson contacted Thompson, who was far away in Udaipur, and asked the major officer, who had some ideas, to return to Decheng immediately.

Subsequently, Jackson sent a telegram to the Department of Defense in Hwaseong.

Instead of asking for instructions, I submitted my resignation for the third time, which was actually a request for a job change.

As an active-duty soldier, and it was wartime, Jackson was not eligible to resign.

This time, Jackson made it clear that Major Thompson was capable enough to take charge of the advisory group and was more adept at communicating with the senior generals of the Vatican army.

In addition, he hopes to go to a place where he can give full play to his personal value, such as the Western Continent.

If the Hwaseong authorities were to make a difference in the Western Continent, especially by sending the Army into the war, they would need a high-ranking officer like Jackson to lead troops on the front lines.

Although it is more dangerous to go to the front line to fight, it is much better than to be with a group of politicians with evil intentions.
