Since the war was forcibly launched by the crown prince when the bureaucracy, parliament, and public opinion did not support it, there was a great deal of opposition.

The emperor did not die, and the founding emperor was too successful, resulting in the crown prince living in the shadow of the emperor all the time, and his prestige was seriously insufficient. It's like a long time after Napoleon, when the French shouted Napoleon when they made trouble. But whenever the crown prince made all the forces dissatisfied, they clamored to let the emperor out of the mountain.

This put tremendous pressure on the crown prince, which led to the fact that he wanted to start the war, immediately carry out a general mobilization, and then use the general trend of ploughing the court to sweep the holes, and the general trend of Taishan to quickly destroy Britain is bankrupt, and the delay in naval warfare is on the one hand, and on the other hand, he begins to worry about whether there will be a political crisis if he rushes to carry out general mobilization without the support of the majority.

Of course, this is also in the case of the crown prince's choice, if there is no choice, this concern will not make him give up the general mobilization at home, because there are forces such as overseas companies can be used, so he temporarily chooses not to mobilize at home, and use the power of overseas companies to eliminate the power of British overseas territories.

Even so, the crown prince was anxious to quickly clear the British overseas possessions, which he believed would accumulate enough political prestige for him to completely suppress the political forces that opposed him.

Therefore, such a decision is the most sensible choice for the crown prince in the face of two fronts, both internal and external, on the one hand, to deal with the domestic anti-war forces, and on the other hand, to quickly achieve external victories, and to use the glory of external victories to suppress the opposition of internal forces, and finally to have enough strength to achieve a complete victory.

But why not send the main force to India and let only the African company be in charge of the Indian battlefield, although the African company has mobilized more troops, but the British army is a standing army, and there must be a gap in the level of training.

China's combat units and auxiliary units are also standing armies, and their training level is very high. In particular, the combat units have always been stationed on the frontier, and the system used is different from that of the auxiliaries. Soldiers are thoroughly recruited, volunteers attracted by high salaries, carefully selected, excellent physical fitness, because of this system, the northern soldiers in the war are far more than the southern soldiers, because the northerners are relatively tall, and there are a large number of soldiers of other nationalities in the soldiers, Mongolians, Central Asians have a diet based on meat and milk, and their physical fitness is better, and not only do not reject being soldiers, but think that it is the most important job for warriors.

These most physically fit soldiers are recruited and undergo at least a year of rigorous training before entering the army. Unlike auxiliaries, the service period of a soldier is very long, and if a soldier wants to retire, he must serve for eight years, and after eight years, he can apply for retirement, and after retirement, he becomes a civilian and no longer has any obligations.

Although the government soldiers are also standing armies, the training methods are similar, and there is no difference in the level of equipment, and the recruitment system is mainly used to recruit soldiers, but the selection of auxiliary soldiers is not national, but demarcated regions, for example, Guangdong has two government soldiers, and Guizhou has only one, and the continuous recruitment of soldiers to demarcate the area, and stationed on the spot, the first army and the second army of Guangdong are stationed in western and eastern Guangdong respectively.

Government soldiers also undertake the task of cultivating talents for the reserves, and the government soldiers have a three-year service period, and after the end of the service period, except for the officers, ordinary soldiers, whether they want to or not, are forced to retire, transferred to the reserves, and become reserve soldiers with regular military training. At the same time, individual retired soldiers will also be assigned to serve as officers in the township soldiers in their hometowns, and a steady stream of grassroots officers will be provided for the township soldiers.

Therefore, China's three-level military service system, the soldiers are really cultivated as killing machines, the soldiers have a long service period, strict training, well-equipped, extremely high military salaries, a minimum soldier, can get a hundred yuan per month, equivalent to five taels of gold, equivalent to twenty-five pounds, one hundred and twenty dollars, is the highest military salary in the world.

Soldiers with high salaries have higher morale than soldiers with low salaries under the same national and patriotic feelings.

Putting aside the psychological factor of morale, objectively speaking, these soldiers who have selected the best soldiers throughout the country, conducted the most rigorous training, and served for a long time are already an army that can meet the highest requirements. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese fighters has always been considered high, although they have not proven themselves for many years.

Just because they haven't proven themselves doesn't mean they really haven't fought and don't have any combat experience. On the contrary, at least a third of the soldiers were veterans who had killed people. Although China has not fought a war for more than 30 years, the war in the colonies has never subsided, so there are a large number of mercenaries who fight all year round in overseas companies. Although a large number of Japanese were employed among the mercenaries, there were many natives, especially officers, who were basically natives, and even if they were junior officers, they were rarely appointed to serve by people from other countries.

Therefore, when these mercenaries who have killed people abroad return to China, they do not want to continue to kill people to make money, but also hope to continue to serve in the army, they can easily enter the combat unit. Even after some government soldiers retired, they joined the mercenary fight for a few years, and then returned to China to apply for joining the combat unit again.

In the final analysis, it is the high military salary that can attract talents. You can get a desperate salary without fighting, which is still very attractive. Therefore, a large number of mercenaries have been turned into grass-roots officers in combat units, so that in addition to strict training, officers in combat units generally have actual combat experience.

But such a force was all sent overseas by the crown prince, because the crown prince was very anxious and hoped to achieve victory as soon as possible, so that he could suppress the arrogance of the opposition, but not a single soldier was sent to India, and even the government soldiers of the standing army were not sent to India, so it can only be said that India is too unimportant in the eyes of the crown prince.

It's not about the value of India itself, it's about the serious value of India's ruling class in China. India's abundant human resources and excellent land development conditions make India extremely rich in production, producing a large amount of cotton and rice every year, and exporting a large number of them. India alone exports enough rice to feed the entire population of Japan.

However, in the case of scholars, the economic value itself is not very attractive, to paraphrase a sentence from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, "I attack the land, I cannot plough the land, I cannot live in the land", so it has no value.

So where did the crown prince send the standing army? Of course, the place where "I attack the land, can cultivate the land, and can live in the land" is North America.

Although British North America, later known as Canada, had a cold climate and poor cultivation conditions compared to the United States, it was better than Siberia. But British North America was empty, and that was the biggest advantage. For China, which has no shortage of population and land, there is a pathological greed for land that can be farmed. Therefore, it is easier to block the mouth of scholars and doctors in Canada, which occupies the cold cold, than in warmer India. It was easier for the crown prince to gain prestige and silence dissenting voices.

Therefore, the crown prince attaches more importance to North America, which is the focus of his strategy, of course, this is not his fundamental purpose, the fundamental purpose is to destroy Britain and establish hegemony. But only land can silence public opinion.

Therefore, more than 300,000 soldiers and more than 600,000 government soldiers were all sent to the Americas, and together with the local government soldiers in the Americas, they carried out a rapid attack on British North America.

Compared with the crown prince's six months to seize India, he was more demanding on the standing army of the expedition to the Americas, and he demanded that the whole of British North America be captured within three months.

Because of the pressure on the crown prince, he was particularly urgent, so the pressure he was under was transferred to the enemy through the battlefield.

After China declared war, there was almost no pause, and Chinese troops everywhere launched a fierce attack on the British army.

First of all, the company's standing army in India, with less than 200,000 troops, launched a fierce attack on the British Indian region, and then the reserve army was constantly called up, and then sent to the front line, while fighting, while resuming training, there was no time for them to complete a few months of recovery training in the rear, fortunately, these reservists were soldiers who had received formal training.

In the Americas, the government troops of the American provinces first launched an attack on British North America, and while attacking, they mobilized reserve troops while waiting for the assistance of the local standing army.

Under this continuous attack, the battle can only continue to heat up, and the battle can only become more intense, just like the waves, wave after wave, until the cliff in front of it is broken, even if the waves are broken again and again in the process, and are smashed into waves again and again, and then they will regain strength and crash on the shore again!

So the most fierce offensive broke out a month later, in the Indian direction, the general mobilization was basically completed, and five million men were scattered on various fronts, advancing in the Ganges River valley, which is thousands of kilometers long; In North America, the standing army landed in North America and entered the front line. Quickly broke through the resistance of the British army in North America and drove straight in.

Compared with the British, who maintained more than a million troops in India, a population of 9 million, and most of them were immigrants, and half of them were not English-speaking people, but poor immigrants from Russia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Greece and other European countries, their sense of British identity was not enough to send the queen to death.

Under the conscription system, the number of people who took the initiative to join the army inspired by patriotic feelings and loyalty to the monarch was very small, and the British North American Army did not exceed 500,000 from beginning to end, even at the beginning of the war, it was difficult for them to occupy the advantage of troops, and a month later, when the Chinese standing army began to attack them as the main force, they could only be defeated on the whole front, what trench warfare, what attrition war, what defensive strength and weak attack, this is all relative, based on the advantages that can only be reflected in the case of similar combat effectiveness, The arrival of China's main force not only completely crushed the hastily recruited soldiers of British North America in terms of training level, command ability and equipment level, but also completely crushed the other side in terms of numbers.

In this case, Britain wanted to keep its North American territory, either by drawing troops from within the country or by looking for allies from the periphery.

In North America, in addition to Chinese territory, there is Quebec, which was founded by French immigrants, and the two countries of the Northern Union and the Confederate Confederate that were separated from the United States.

The Southern Union had completely fallen to China, and the British began to lobby desperately for the Northern Union, promising a lot of benefits.

These included post-war assistance to the United States to unify the South, including the cession of large amounts of land in British North America to the United States, and a large amount of gratuitous aid.

But will the Americans go to war?
