Three years have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past three years, although there have been frequent wars in various parts of the world, most of them have been local wars. In particular, the war in Europe has not stopped, but it is slowly becoming stalemate or calming down.

Of course, this was mainly due to the fact that the Chinese Empire stopped expanding abroad. After all, today's Chinese Empire has become the world's largest power, not only accounting for about one-third of the world's population, but also occupying more than one-third of the world's total land area for human beings to live in, but the total economic volume of the Chinese Empire, especially in industry, has not yet accounted for one-third of the world's share. It is precisely because of this that the cabinet of the Chinese Empire decided to recuperate for a period of time, stop external expansion, and instead digest and absorb the territory and population that had been occupied in the early stage, vigorously develop the industrial economy, and improve the comprehensive national strength.

The Chinese Empire no longer waged war, and the countries that were at war with it in the early days secretly rejoiced. The Ottoman Turks had retreated to the peninsula of Asia Minor and ceded the provinces bordering Persia to Persia, while Syria and other places on the Arabian Peninsula were occupied by Egypt, and the rest of the Euphrates valleys such as Baghdad were all incorporated into the Hejaz Kingdom by the Chinese Empire, and the Han Arab United Kingdom was established, officially becoming the largest overseas vassal state of the Chinese Empire. Of course, only in terms of the size of the country, and in terms of population, the United Kingdom of Han Arabia is still far from being compared with the subject countries of Thura and Burma or the Sikh Kingdom.

However, no European country other than the Ottoman Empire opposed the expansion of the Chinese Empire to the entire Arabian Peninsula. After all, from the current point of view, the strength of the Chinese Empire has become so strong that no country can contain it, and moreover, the Arabian Peninsula is mostly desert and sparsely populated, except for some Arab war horses and coconut oil and the like, there are not many useful resources, for this barren land, geographical location and religious location are important at any time, but there is no need to offend the Chinese Empire.

Britain, which valued this interest the most, was now weakened and unable to make a practical protest to the Chinese Empire. Naturally, other countries are even less serious. Of course, it is no wonder that they do not pay attention to it, and even Britain actually wants to intervene, but at this moment, their eyes are attracted by the Paris Commune in France. Almost all of Europe was full of hostility towards the Paris Commune, even if Britain was at war with the newly established German Empire, and was still fighting against Belgium and the Franco-German border, the two sides could not continue to fight, but signed an armistice and friendly agreement, and unanimously aimed their guns at the new French revolutionary regime, the Paris Commune.

And in the past three years, although it has not been a world war, the war in Europe has not stopped.

Because of the turmoil in France, the whole of Europe, whether it is the royal family and the aristocracy, or the emerging bourgeoisie, is very afraid, and they have sent troops to strangle the proletarian workers' power in France.

The most advantageous was the German Empire. The newly formed empire of continental Europe quickly became the most powerful country on the continent in the face of the weakening of Tsarist Russia, the defeat of the Austrian Empire, the defeat of France, and civil strife. The land area is several times larger than that of the original small Prussia. After annexing the western part of the Eastern European Plain to Tsarist Russia, the German Empire occupied Bohemia in the Austrian Empire and half of the Jutland Peninsula in Denmark, and the German Empire also occupied Luxembourg and the eastern part of Belgium, and large swaths of the northeastern and northern parts of France.

The second cheapest is Tsarist Russia, after the Moscow forces recovered St. Petersburg, and the newly established German Empire and the Chinese Empire separately peace talks, although a lot of the original Tsarist Russian territory was ceded out, and a lot of war expenses were compensated, but at the same time, the rule of the Romanov dynasty was preserved, and at the same time, the most elite St. Petersburg to Moscow in the Eastern European Plain was preserved. But even so, Tsarist Russia was less than a third of its heyday a decade ago. Nearly three-quarters of the territory was permanently divided, and even more disastrous was the loss of nearly two-thirds of the population, as well as all the navy and access to the sea, and although St. Petersburg was recovered, the Gulf of Finland was occupied by the Kingdom of Finland, which had surrendered to the German Empire, and Tsarist Russia would become a landlocked country, with no further development and a new day.

The two great powers, Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire, which only sought to protect themselves, have shrunk and chosen neutrality and no longer make any noise. In this way, Europe was divided into two factions.

The French People's Commune Republic, dominated by the Paris Commune, in which a group of urban workers and other proletarians revolted, together with the three countries of the Irish People's Republic and the Spanish People's Commune Republic, formed a proletarian revolutionary alliance state. On the other hand, the European royal entente consisting of the German Empire, the Kingdom of Great Britain, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Italy, the Kingdom of Portugal, the Holy See, the Austrian Empire, the Kingdom of Greece, and the Kingdom of Serbia were the European royal entente.

Of course, the royal Entente were stronger, but they were not united, and only temporarily because the proletarian revolution of the Paris Commune in France threatened the royal aristocracy and the capitalist financiers of all Europe, and they reluctantly reunited temporarily to attack the proletarian red masses in Paris.

Unfortunately, it is difficult for these countries to truly come together. Not to mention that Britain had launched an attack on the German Empire not long ago, and even the British prince was killed by the Prussian army, the contradiction between Denmark and today's Germany alone could not be resolved, but only under the mediation of Britain and the Netherlands, the war was temporarily suspended, and the two countries divided Jutland equally, but in fact, this was definitely a plan that favored Germany, and Denmark did not approve of it. Among them, the biggest contradiction was actually the Austrian Empire and the German Empire, which were incompatible and unable to compromise on the ownership of Bohemia. Therefore, in this area, although there is no war for the time being, the two sides are facing more than 100,000 troops, ready to go to war at any time.

There were also many contradictions between the Catholic Holy See and the Protestant German Empire and the largely neo-Christian United Kingdom. The Kingdom of Italy and the Austrian Empire did not have an armistice, and friction continued.

In such a situation, although the European royal entente had an absolute advantage in strength and strength, they could not form a joint force, so although they had the advantage, they could not inflict heavy damage on the Paris Commune.

On the contrary, because the Irish People's Republic received a lot of support from the Chinese Empire, sophisticated weapons were continuously imported into France and supplied to the French People's Commune Republic.

Over the past three years, the Entente has organized no less than ten major operational offences, all of which have been held back by the combined forces of French, Irish, and Spanish workers and peasants singing the Marseillaise and the Internationale. More than 150,000 people have been killed on both sides in and around Paris, and more than 400,000 European soldiers have been wounded.

As a last resort, seeing that the city of Paris was too difficult to capture, the European royal entente turned to the Spanish People's Commune, the weakest of them, as a breakthrough, and finally attacked Madrid from Portugal with 150,000 allied troops not long ago. The Spanish People's Commune organized workers' and proletarian fighters to resist desperately, but because more than half of its troops went to Paris to support, the capital was empty, and eventually Madrid fell, and then most of Spain was occupied by the Allied troops, except for the northern border near France and Valencia and Barcelona in the west.

However, the Entente was also at the end of the day. Under the impetus of the British, the 100,000 troops of the Entente crossed the sea to attack the Irish People's Republic, but suffered a heavy defeat from the heroic Irish People's Army. The French city of Paris, under the continuous attack of more than 250,000 Allied troops, never fell. With the delay of time, the original group of aristocrats and capitalists in France were driven out of France one after another, and the proletarian workers in France became stronger and stronger, and the French national sentiment aroused by the attack on Paris became stronger and stronger.

The power of the nascent French People's Commune Republic, which was in the hands of the proletariat, was in turmoil, but it remained standing.
