Chapter 237: The Reaction of the Countries

Under the huge shock of the Chinese Army's total annihilation of the Atlantic Fleet of the United States, several countries in the world were happy and worried:

Naturally, there was a voice of grief in the United States, the media was in an uproar, and the citizens of the United States immediately fell into a panic, fearing that the Chinese army would set off in the Caribbean Sea with the power after the great victory and land on the mainland of the United States.

In this regard, the major European powers are much more complicated, the English people can not see the industrial strength and national strength of the Chinese people getting stronger and stronger, but after the destruction of the Atlantic Fleet of the Chinese army, it has become a rabbit and a fox, but after getting the benefits of Hu Zhen, they are even more afraid of the strong combat effectiveness of the Huaxia Army, and they do not dare to interfere with the actions of the Huaxia Army in the Caribbean, so they secretly gather forces and prepare to drag the rapid development of the Huaxia Guild.

Under these circumstances, the English Cabinet and the Admiralty strengthened Singapore's naval forces in order to keep an eye on the powerful Huaxia Guild, and at the same time, on the grounds that the English naval fleet urgently needed to renew its fleet, they preferred to pay a little compensation to cancel the battleship orders placed by the Huaxia Guild in several shipyards in England.

The German Empire on the European continent was the happiest, because only the industrial strength of the United States in the world today could compete with Germany.

Now the United States was crushed by the Huaxia army, and the German emperor Wilhelm II, who had just succeeded to the throne for a few months, was very happy, and held several grand banquets one after another, each of which invited young diplomatic representatives from the Huaxia Guild, so that Li Fengbao, the minister of the Qing court in Germany, was very jealous for a while.

Hu Zhen took the opportunity to instruct the diplomats to operate in Germany, so that the German ruler agreed that his shipyard would secretly manufacture parts of four battleships for the Huaxia Guild at the most favorable price and according to the design drawings given by Hu Zhen, and the parts of these battleships would be transported back to the South Seas by Germany, and with the help of Germany, the shipyards of the Huaxia Guild would assemble them themselves.

The Netherlands and Spain, which were heartbroken by the Huaxia Guild army, finally had another white brother, and I don't know whether to be happy or sad. These two countries really want to communicate with the United States and form an alliance to jointly deal with the new forces in the Far East, the Huaxia Guild, but they are afraid of being suppressed by the Huaxia Guild again, so they dare not openly fight with the United States. It is a secret communication with the United States, but these two countries have been greatly damaged, and they cannot give any practical support to the newly defeated United States.

In addition, the forces of France, Oros, and the Wa Kingdom have a strong impact on the strong rise of the Chinese Guild. Full of deep fear, each with different worries:

The French were afraid that the Chinese Guild would enter the colony of Annam, which was of the same kind in the future, and snatch back Annam, which had been a vassal state of China for generations, so it also strengthened the naval and army forces of Annam, and the French army set up strong defensive fortresses in Hanoi, Saigon, and Lang Son.

Oros has a border of tens of thousands of kilometers with the Chinese mainland, and is always worried that the Huaxia Guild will return to the Chinese mainland, overthrow the rule of the Qing court, and directly compete with the Oros for Siberian territory, so they have strengthened the Siberian army and sent additional combat ships to the Pacific Fleet.

But the Wa Kingdom was even more scared to death about it. Worried that the Japanese kingdom would lose the opportunity to rise, it would always bow down to the original nation of Chinese civilization.

Hirobumi Ito, Aritomo Yamaguchi and others set off a frenzy of building the army and navy of the Japanese country, and called on all the people of the Japanese country to donate money, which caused the emperor of the Japanese country to take the lead in donating money.

The Japanese army reached 600,000 men, three times more than the number of Japanese troops in the same period in history.

As the ontology of Chinese civilization, the Qing Dynasty was in a very delicate mood: the Ming Dynasty and the opposition were excited to promote the prestige of the Chinese compatriots of the same culture and species, but the royal family of the supreme ruler of the Qing court was not happy, but was worried day and night, worried that the Huaxia Guild would defeat the power of the foreigners many times and return to the Chinese mainland and take away the right to rule.

The Qing rulers became increasingly wary of this. In the vast territory, an unprecedented tide was brewing -- the Westernization movement, which had almost stopped, was running again, and the controversial question of whether or not to build a railroad was stimulated by the Huaxia Guild and finally made practical progress. The Qing court agreed to immediately take Beijing as the center and vigorously build railways, and first carried out the survey of the Beijing-Guangdong Railway, the Beijing-Harbin Railway, and the Longhai Railway.

The industrial construction of the governors in various places was also a fiery scene, and under the guidance of Hu Zhen, intentionally or unintentionally, many detours were avoided: after the Wuhan Iron and Steel Plant inspected the Daye Iron Mine, it purchased the machine from Germany; The Jiangnan Machinery Bureau vigorously copied the Makqin heavy machine gun and 120 mm rapid-fire gun in advance.

Outside of the government-run industry. The Qing court also issued a decree to the whole country, encouraging merchants from all over the country to set up private industries in silk reeling, weaving, and steam engine steamships.

This is the trend set off by Hu Zhen, a big butterfly, and finally began to change the course of Chinese history.

In the face of the piles of reactions and analyses of the reactions of various countries sent by Niu Quyun of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the internal movement reports of the Qing Dynasty handed over by Chen Zichao, Hu Zhen did not have so much time to deal with the reactions and actions of various countries one by one at this time, he was busy with one thing at this time: attacking the east coast of the United States!

There are more than 10,000 kilometers of coastline on the east coast of the United States, and the strength of the Huaxia Army in the Atlantic Ocean is limited after all, and the land force dispatched cannot exceed 100,000 people.

Hu Zhen and the supercomputer repeatedly deliberated and listened extensively to the opinions of officers at all levels, and finally decided to target the spearhead of the attack at New York, the economic capital of the United States and the economic and financial center of the world.

Without the reminder of the supercomputer, Hu Zhen understands that the reason why the United States of America in later generations dominated the world is completely based on its strong industrial, financial and economic strength, and if it wants to deal a heavy blow to the United States, it must first strike at its economic foundation.

To hit the economic base of the United States, it is necessary to hit its economic center, and New York, the largest city in the United States, is the best target.

Therefore, while asking the supercomputer system to come up with a combat plan, Hu Zhen also asked the General Staff to quickly come up with a specific combat plan for the attack on New York.

On this expedition to the Caribbean, Hu Zhen left Su Wenzhen, chief of the general staff, to guard in Nanyang, and only took Zheng Dingbang, deputy chief of staff and commander of the fleet, and a group of young staff officers. Hu Zhen's request to the staff headquarters to draw up an operational plan was not without the intention of tempering the staff team.

Under the leadership of Zheng Dingbang, a plan was drawn up to attack New York in one day.

After Hu Zhen got the plan and read it, he was very satisfied, and signed and approved the battle plan with a stroke of his pen. (To be continued.) )
