The Balkan War in Europe was not over, and the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Italy provoked another war in Ethiopia in Africa. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

With the intervention of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army in the Ethiopian War, the Italian army, which had already lost its fighting spirit, once again ignited its fighting spirit, followed in the footsteps of the Chinese Imperial Army, and cooperated with the Chinese Imperial Army to launch a major counteroffensive against the Ethiopian army.

Previously, the Italian army suffered a crushing defeat at Adua, with 19,800 Italian troops annihilated, which can be described as heavy casualties.

The whole of Europe and even the whole world were shocked, and Western public opinion exclaimed: "I dare not imagine that the army of a civilized European country could suffer such a catastrophe at the hands of an African chieftain and soldier." ”

After the painful decision, European and American countries successively established formal diplomatic relations with Ethiopia.

For Westerners, whoever has a big fist and a hard fist will become friends with whomever they want, on the contrary, if a country's fist is not big and hard enough, then it will be defined by Westerners as an invasion colony.

The world is like this, the law of the jungle.

This time, the world's major powers established diplomatic relations with Ethiopia, and even the German Empire, which was a central power, was impressed by Ethiopia and quickly established diplomatic relations at the consular level.

But the Chinese Empire did not, as the most powerful country in the world, seeing that the Italian army of its ally was beaten and beaten by the Ethiopian army, anyone can make friends with Ethiopia, but the Chinese Empire cannot, it must teach Ethiopia a hard lesson, let Ethiopia know that defeating Italy does not mean that it can play prestige in front of the Chinese Empire.

The sudden invasion of Ethiopia by the Chinese Empire also shocked the whole world.

Li Weiguo intended to tell the world with practical actions that although the Italian army was weak, as the big brother of the Central Powers, the Chinese Empire was still incomparably strong, and it would be a big mistake if the Entente bloc dared to flout the combat effectiveness of the Allied armies.

However, after the occupation of Djibouti, the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire did not rush to the interior of East Africa, but built large-scale fortifications in Djibouti, and at the same time occupied a natural harbor in the direction of Tajoura Bay on the north side of Djibouti, began to build a wharf, and at the same time built fortifications on small plateaus.

The Chinese Empire claimed to be building a temporary supply base in preparation for a long war with Ethiopia.

However, the Entente bloc quickly analyzed that this was just a pretext for the Chinese Empire, and in fact it should have planned to stay in Djibouti for a long time and build naval bases and fortifications in Djibouti, the purpose of which was self-evident, that is, to blockade the Red Sea outlet in wartime and cut off the combined fleet of the Allied naval forces coming from the Suez Canal.

The Entente bloc was very nervous, knowing that the great harm of the Chinese Empire's move to the Entente bloc was no less than the Entente bloc's attempt to sabotage the world's railways, and both sides were making strategic arrangements to attack each other's life supply lines, the difference was only that one was a land railway and the other was a sea lane, but the harm was the same to each other.

In addition to large-scale military assistance to Ethiopia, the Entente Council was not optimistic that Ethiopia would win, after all, the military strength of the Chinese Empire was too strong, far from being comparable to that of the Kingdom of Italy, so the Entente bloc was not optimistic about the prospects of this Sino-Egyptian war, so it planned to find another way to prevent the Chinese Empire from gaining a foothold in Djibouti.

Therefore, the Entente bloc absolutely merged British Somalia and French Somalia, and Britain and France formed a coalition army, built military fortresses and naval bases near Djibouti, and sent additional fleets to the Indian Ocean, so that it would have sufficient strength to prevent the Chinese Empire from blocking the Red Sea access.

In the depths of winter, the northern land was extremely cold, so Li Weiguo took his harem family members and went to the southern capital to escape the cold.

The southern capital here, referring to Sydney in Australia, has been renamed the southern capital by Li Weiguo and set up as one of the eight companion capitals of the Chinese Empire.

In a political sense, in order to strengthen his rule over Australia, Li Weiguo set up a companion capital in Australia, which is conducive to strengthening his rule over Australia.

The renaming of Sydney to Nandu shows that Australia's position in the Chinese Empire is extremely important.

When it comes to the renaming of Sydney as the southern capital, we have to mention Li Weiguo's recent decree, the first major relocation of the capital after the founding of the Chinese Empire.

Every move of the capital in history is not child's play, it is all the ruler's comprehensive strategic considerations.

For example, Zhu Di's move of the capital from Nanjing to Beijing was due to the strategic defense requirements of northern Mongolia.

Li Weiguo's move of the capital from Beijing to Wuhan, Hubei Province, was also based on comprehensive strategic considerations.

Today, the territory of the Chinese Empire is more than 25 million square kilometers, with the northernmost point reaching the Arctic Circle and the southernmost point reaching Antarctica.

Moreover, the role of the capital is the heart of the empire, and it must be consistent from the borders of the empire, not too close in one direction and too far from the other. Because the emperor is far away, if the capital is too far away from a certain area, it will cause weak ruling power and lagging economic development.

Half a century later, after the reform and opening up, the southern economy exploded, while the northeast economy collapsed. Then the development of the western region, the national economic growth slowed down, the location of the capital has an invisible huge impact, because the capital is the center of power, the closer to the right, the more can get the support of the state, this is the advantage of the first month near the water, over time will form an imbalance in the development of the country, the same is the case in all dynasties, the Luoyang Economic Zone of the Han Dynasty, the Chang'an Economic Zone of the Tang Dynasty, the Kaifeng Economic Zone of the Song Dynasty, behind the huge prosperity, all of them are caused by the influence of the location of the capital.

Li Weiguo discovered that Beijing had serious smog some time ago, and he realized this problem. The smog is a negative proof of the concentration of population and industrial economy, and out of the need for rule and economic development, Li Weiguo made a wise decision to move the capital.

Relocation is a major national event, involving the interests of all parties.

At the beginning, the capital was set in Beijing, because Li Weiguo had just unified China, and his control over the northern forces was insufficient.

Now more than 20 years have passed, the forces of the former dynasty have been completely disintegrated and consumed by Li Weiguo, the north has achieved complete control, the original indigenous forces have been shattered, and the great integration of the north and the south has been realized.

However, in the face of the continuous strengthening of the Chinese Empire and the rise of a new aristocratic group, they formed a new aristocratic circle and a circle of interests around Beijing, which was no problem in a short period of time, but the lessons of the previous dynasties told Li Weiguo that in fifty or sixty years, the new aristocratic circle would completely occupy the power and wealth in the area around Beijing, and the children of the nobles would inherit power and wealth, and power and wealth would be highly concentrated, which would breed corruption.

All dynasties have been corrupted and perished in this way.

Li Weiguo will not allow the aristocratic groups standing at the pinnacle of power to occupy a region for a long time, and will not let them form a fixed nest of interests, because once a nest of interests is formed, if they want to move their interests in the future, it will cause all kinds of great changes, which is very troublesome.

The founding emperors of all dynasties were easy to control the civil and military officials, but hundreds of years after the establishment of the capital, the emperor would be held hostage by the civil and military officials, and the fundamental reason was that the civil and military officials formed a circle of interests around the capital that even the emperor could not shake, and once the country changed dramatically, it quickly perished.

This was originally an unsolvable problem, but Li Weiguo found another way, and his countermeasure was to move the capital.

The capital is moved every 25 years, so that the aristocratic group, who stand at the pinnacle of power in the Chinese Empire, want to take root in one place, and also want to occupy a place and develop into a monopoly of power and wealth.

Li Weiguo knew very well that every time the capital was moved, the nobles at the top of these empires could only choose one between power and wealth.

Of course, if you don't move the capital with you, even if you are a new nobleman, because you have been away from the power circle of the imperial capital for a long time, you will lose the care of power and become a complete local tycoon and rich man, without the protection of power, the other local tycoons and tycoons will not be afraid of you, and the competition will return to equality.

And if they move the capital to other places, in the new environment, they only have power, and if they want to gain wealth, they can only compete and seize it by force.

Every time the capital is moved, the local forces will inevitably resist the foreign forces, and the final result will inevitably be that the central forces will defeat the local forces, but when the central nobles are ready to establish their own new circles of interests, the emperor's will move the capital again.

And so on and so forth, as a way to solve the problem of concentration of power and wealth.

Of course, there must be other means to assist it, such as court officials and their immediate family members are not allowed to do business, and they are not allowed to compete with the people for profit, etc.

These are all the overall considerations made by Li Weiguo from the perspective of humanities, geography and other factors.

The first time the capital was moved, Li Weiguo set up the new capital in Wuhan, Hubei, which happened to be located in the center of the Chinese Empire and the center of the mainland, and the distance from the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the empire was about the same, which was the most suitable.

As a result, Wuhan was renamed Greater Kyoto by Li Weiguo.

Great Kyoto, as the name suggests. It was Li Weiguo who set up eight accompanying capitals at the same time, which were divided into four capitals and four capitals.

The capital is naturally Wuhan Great Kyoto, and Beijing refers to Tokyo, Nanjing, Xijing, and Beijing, all of which refer to the Eastern Capital, Western Capital, Southern Capital, and Northern Capital.

The four capitals and the four capitals, which were divided into the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the Chinese Empire, together defended the Great Kyoto.

Beijing remained unchanged, Shanghai was renamed Tokyo, and East China was commanded, Sanya, Hainan Island, was renamed Nanjing, South China and Southeast Asia, and Xi'an was renamed Xijing, which was under the command of West China.

The Eastern Capital, referring to Honolulu, the capital of Ezo Tail Prefecture, was renamed the Eastern Capital by Li Weiguo.

Geographically, Ezo Tail is located east of the territory of the Chinese Empire, and although it has a small population and an underdeveloped economy, its strategic location is extremely important.

The Chinese Empire should use the Ezo Tail Islands as a springboard to contend with the entire Confederate State of America, and be at the forefront of the strategy to guard the eastern gate of the Chinese Empire.

The Eastern Capital, which governs the entire North Pacific archipelago, is the political, military, economic, and cultural center of these regions.

Sydney, Australia, renamed the Southern Capital, oversees Australia and the islands of the South Pacific, and is the political, economic, military, and cultural center of these regions.

The western capital is Ili, which commands the Western Regions and is the political, economic, military, and cultural center of the Western Regions.

The northern capital is Uriya Sutai, which commands the northern Xinjiang region and is the political, economic, cultural and military center of northern Xinjiang.

Since the imperial palace and the offices of various departments of the imperial court in Wuhan are still under construction, Li Weiguo took the harem family members to the southern capital of Sydney to avoid the cold, and asked the civil and military officials of the imperial court to preside over various construction work in Wuhan Great Kyoto.

In fact, although it costs a lot of money, the benefits are even greater.

For example, Wuhan is currently only a small place with a population of less than 300,000, but after becoming the capital of the Chinese Empire for the next 25 years, it will be a large-scale economic construction here.

Due to the relocation of the central organs of the imperial court, which brought great development to the local economy, it will become the center of the empire, which will inevitably affect the population and trade of various surrounding places to turn here, so that Wuhan can achieve economic development and drive the rapid economic development of the surrounding provinces.

In fact, even in later generations, in Li Weiguo's words, if we really want to develop the western region on a large scale and directly move the capital to the west, do you think the development will be fast? If you really want to revitalize the Northeast, directly move the capital to the Northeast, you see whether the revitalization is fast or not, and the cliff is swishing! Is there wood?

When the Chinese Empire moved its capital to Wuhan, not only the merchants of China saw the huge business opportunities, but also the merchants of the whole world were not stupid, how could they miss such a huge business opportunity, so they mobilized funds and invested in the large-scale construction of the new capital of Wuhan.

Invisibly, Li Weiguo's move to the capital, but for Wuhan and several surrounding provinces, brought tens of billions of yuan of huge investment, greatly boosted the speed of local economic development, greatly improved the living standards of the local people, the original economic growth of the Chinese Empire slowed down, but because of this big move of the capital, the economy was pulled up again, hundreds of billions of funds were activated, so that the economic growth rate of the Chinese Empire once again entered the high-speed growth track.

Li Weiguo, who was on vacation in the southern capital of Sydney, was already happy after receiving reports from various departments of the imperial court.

It turns out that there are so many benefits of moving the capital, and it is not necessary to move the capital every 25 years in the future, but it is completely possible to move the capital to wherever the development is needed according to the situation of the country at that time.

Li Weiguo took out his diary, recorded this experience, and then walked to a secret classroom, where there were hundreds of students, all of whom were Li Weiguo's children, and every once in a while, Li Weiguo would call them together and personally teach them his own ideas of governing the country and his future prospects, as well as his own skills, so that his children could inherit their aspirations in the future and build the Chinese empire more prosperous and beautiful.
