"A humanitarian crisis, also known as a humanitarian catastrophe, is a situation in which the fundamental rights of human beings are threatened by armed conflicts, natural disasters, etc. It was first mentioned by the Chinese Empire, and it was the great powers responsible for coordinating and initiating relief efforts in areas of humanitarian crisis. However, there are objections that major powers often use the excuse of "humanitarian disasters" to interfere in other countries. Especially in the 19th century, at least in the first half of the 20th century, the major powers did everything for political gain, even at the expense of taking advantage of humanitarian disasters, which cast a strong shadow on this term. ”

Modern World History

What is a "humanitarian catastrophe"?

For the 4,875 officers and men of the 1st Brigade of the Imperial Marine Corps stationed in Panama, they had no idea what the word meant, but that did not prevent them from learning an English word in the shortest possible time.

“Chinese peacekeepers！”

On the training ground of the barracks, facing the subordinates in the battalion, Sun Guanghai said the word out loud, and then explained.

"Chinese peacekeepers! What is a Peacekeeping Force? It's the peacekeeping force! ”

As soon as Sun Guanghai's words fell, a soldier over there asked,

"Sir, how do the troops keep the peace?"

"It's about stopping war with war!"

All right!

This is the most direct, the most straightforward, and the most accurate answer, that the peacekeeping forces are to use war to stop war. And this answer made the officers and men of the Marine Corps understand - the war has started again, only unlike the wars they have been in contact with in the past, this time, they are fighting for peace.

"For peace?"

Longgang said in a mocking tone when he held the rifle and pulled the bolt to check the chamber.

"This is the biggest joke I've ever heard, war, it's war, and so much nonsense ......"

As he spoke, he tugged at the bolt of his rifle, checked his rifle, and then took out a clip of bullets and stuffed it into the magazine, and after loading five rounds into the magazine, he picked up the six-year rifle in his hand and aimed it at a distance, as if imagining the appearance of the enemy.

The 7.7 mm six-year rifle is the latest weapon of the Empire, and unlike the 11 mm caliber Han rifle, this small-caliber rifle is more powerful and has a longer range, and it uses smokeless propellant, so that on the battlefield, there will never be that kind of "fog of war" filled with gunpowder smoke.

This is a weapon with excellent performance, if the result of the Sino-British War led to the rapid entry of European countries into the breech era, then when European countries transformed their own weapons or produced new breech guns, after the end of the war, China entered a new era - the era of small-caliber magazine rifles, compared with the old single-shot rifle, the six-year rifle can be said to have set off a revolution. This is a manual rifle with a rotary pull-back bolt and a magazine feed, and it is the first smokeless propellant rifle adopted by armies around the world. It uses a monoblock magazine that is loaded with a single shot or a magazine through a shell ejection port at the top of the receiver. The magazine is located in front of the trigger retainer under the butt, has a capacity of 5 rounds, and has a hinged case back that can be opened for emptying or cleaning maintenance.

However, despite the excellent performance of this weapon, because too many Han-style rifles were produced during the war, the production of six-year rifles has been extremely limited until now, and only a few elite troops are equipped with this weapon, and the Marine Corps is naturally a combat unit equipped with this new rifle.

"Horn ......"

After a gunshot sounded in his mouth, Longgang withdrew the bullets from the magazine one by one, and then said to Lu Yi beside him.

"It's a good thing that it's a war anyway, what do you think?"

Looking at Longgang with a look of anticipation, Lu Yi looked at his comrades on the training ground a little blankly, he didn't know if this was a good thing, but he knew that, just like Longgang said, the war broke out, and it broke out in another situation.

At this time, the barracks located in the rainforest were boiling everywhere, and the officers and soldiers were making final preparations for the expedition.

While the officers and men of the 1st Marine Brigade were preparing there, more than a dozen temporarily hired merchant ships had begun to load "humanitarian relief supplies" in the port of Cologne.

When the customs officer received the list from the ship's attendants, the officer led several customs officers at the dock to inspect the goods - crates were stacked on the docks, although this was a "humanitarian rescue operation" between countries, but the customs still had the duty to inspect.

The official looked at the list in his hand and saw that the list was densely filled in:

500 Hanyang 10 mm revolvers

Hanyang 11mm rifle 2,000 cases (20,000 shots in total)

60 11-gauge Gatling 11-barreled machine guns......

130 82-mm mortars in Hanyang

56 Hanyang Type 2 88 cm field guns (including a full set of artillery carriage saddles)

16 12 cm howitzers in Tianjin (including a full set of gun carriage saddles)

250 cases of 10mm ammunition

11,000 boxes of 11,000 mm ammunition (11,500,000 rounds)

5,000 boxes of 82 mm shells (30,000 rounds)

……

Looking at these "humanitarian relief materials", the customs officer could hardly believe his eyes, he could not believe how he could not believe that these materials were used to assist the refugees of the "Confederate States of America", and these were simply weapons......

What are the weapons used for?

Of course, it's used to kill. But why supply them with these weapons?

Perhaps, these are the weapons that can also assist the refugee ...... of the "Confederate States of America".

Perhaps, who knows?

Counting the mountains of munitions piled up on the dock, Wang Guanyu suddenly had a strange emotion in his heart, he is now an official of the Red Tenth Society, and he is no longer an intelligence officer of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, and his task is to provide "humanitarian relief materials" to the "Confederate States of America", that is, these materials in front of him.

Are these supplies "humanitarian relief supplies"?

Of course, this is indisputable.

The customs officer happened to be walking by his side, so the customs officer asked casually.

"Sir, are these, these things really "humanitarian relief supplies"? ”

Obviously, they may be unfamiliar with the so-called "humanitarian relief operations", but this does not prevent them from using their knowledge to speculate what kind of materials the "humanitarian relief materials" should be, and they should never be these arms.

"Of course."

Wang Guanyu's expression looked at him calmly, and when he saw the doubts in his eyes, he deliberately emphasized again.

"You see, there are also 2 tons of milk powder here, which are for the children of the Confederate States of America! Well, a gift from the children of China to the children of the "Confederate States of America"! ”

Looking at the official of the Red Tenth Society, listening to his answer, the official of the customs looked at him with a weak eye, and finally shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Well, hopefully that's what the refugees from the Confederate States of America need! ”

When he mentioned refugees, he deliberately accentuated these two words, as if to remind him of what those refugees needed and what kind of supplies they needed.

Regarding the words of the customs officer, Wang Guanyu just smiled, and then said calmly.

"Of course, that's exactly what they need! And what they desperately demanded! ”

Off the coast of Cologne.

The armored cruiser "Edo", painted silver-gray, quietly moored, while the "Incheon" and "Nagasaki" followed. This is all the capital ships of the Caribbean Fleet, although it is not worth mentioning in size compared to other fleets, but it is the largest and most modern fleet in the Americas, and they are by no means comparable to the poor river armoured ships of the American North, and they are equipped with the latest breech-loading rifled guns compared to the old guns used on river armoured ships.

The pattern of war has changed a few years ago, but in the United States, the war is still stuck in a few years ago, and although their army has been breeched up by renovating old guns, their navy is backward and even not worth mentioning.

On one side of these three capital ships are 16 merchant ships of varying tonnage, carrying tens of thousands of tons of various materials, all of which are "humanitarian relief supplies" that the Confederate States of America urgently need.

On the side of this flotilla, there was also an ironclad ship, which, unlike those of the Chinese Empire flying the Sun and Moon flags, flew the Mizi flag, a British warship, a cutting-edge iron-hulled cruiser.

"These Chinese, it's really a shame that they can think of it."

Standing on the bridge of the cruiser "Glorious", Henry looked at the three warships with some disdain, and said in a contemptuous tone.

For the sake of war, Chinese can come up with such a naïve excuse, it is really ...... More than expected!

Humanitarian catastrophe?

Humanitarian relief?

My God, what a clumsy excuse, if you want to intervene in the American Civil War, just intervene, why make such a naïve excuse?

The ships and sailing ships of all kinds off the coast of Cologne were to be brought and fro near the fleet, and the sailors of all the nations on board cast their eyes full of emotions at the ships that were about to sail...... Astonished? Shock? Envy? Jealous? Hostile? And, of course, gratitude – because there are also Confederate ships here, and almost without exception they are ready to fire salutes.

In their opinion, the righteous act of the Chinese has completely changed everything, and these smuggling ships of the Confederate States, who can only hide in Cologne in the pursuit of the American Navy, have been longing for all this, for the day when the fleet of the Yankees will be defeated.

Now, there are no more problems!

Those warships of the Yankees did not dare to challenge the Chinese fleet at all!

"Hurry up, load all the goods on the ship, cotton, salt, silk, everything ......"

The owners of the smuggling ships were shouting that they also wanted to enter the ports of the Allied States under the escort of Chinese warships and bring back the supplies needed by the Allied Powers, believing that this might be their last business and that everything would change with the intervention of China.

And the Chinese fleet did not refuse their request to join - after all, the people of the Union countries really needed those supplies so much that they did not even have enough salt.

When the size of this fleet became larger and larger with the addition of smuggling ships, on the coast and on the decks of passing civilian ships, countless people gathered to watch the flotilla, and they were all there to watch the fleet,

The young British Vice-Consul in Cologne, Sealance, and Rear Admiral Kersey were among them.

"Major Kersi, what do you see? What kind of surprise will these Chinese bring to the United States? Sealance stood on the balcony of the consulate, looking out over the bay, a cigar lit in his hand.

From here you can see the Chinese fleet, he looks at this fleet with half mockery and half vigilance, as a diplomat he knows very well what the Chinese have opened, they have opened a new era, and they have found a new reason for the outbreak of war.

This is really a very frustrating thing! Especially for the Americans, they never dreamed that the Chinese would get involved in this war with such a clumsy excuse.

"Looks ...... The division of the United States will be unstoppable. ”

Kersi looked at the fleet at sea and said,

"Before that, we all thought that the defeat of the South was inevitable, after all, the power of the South was too weak, but now, the whole world knows that the United States cannot be an opponent of China, and everything is doomed."

"Doomed? What's up? ”

Sealance asked rhetorically.

"The division of the United States, the decline of the United States, of course, and China's complete security, if the United States is not divided, then, in the Pacific, there will be the United States to contain China's power, then, in a few decades, when someone tries to challenge China, the United States is likely to challenge the Chinese in the Pacific, but now, this is impossible!"

With a nice snap of his fingers, Kelsey said in a tone of helplessness:

"Now that China has disintegrated all of this through its support for the South, a divided America can no longer pose a threat to China, and even in the future they will further divide the United States, for example, in the west, where there is too much Chinese, in which case the entire Pacific Ocean will become China's internal lake...... In short, you have to wait and see, in this new era in the future, no country can stand in the way of China, unless, unless we can launch a new crusade, all the Christian nations, attack China, and this may be possible to defeat them......"

At this moment, the salute rang out, and the huge flotilla spewed puffs of white smoke, making the flotilla look as if it was covered in smoke, and everyone knew what the salute meant, which meant the complete decline of a country......

But these salutes were fired by another United States, and they were grateful, grateful for the intervention of a responsible power that allowed their allies to exist in the world......
