Chapter 538: Plotting against the South Seas

Chen Zhong extended the tentacles of the Chinese Empire into the Middle East, controlling the Strait of Malacca, the golden waterway into the Arabian Sea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, in the South Seas leading to this sea, the British Far East Fleet stationed in India and the American South Pacific Fleet stationed in the Philippine Islands.

Since Fisher proposed the Home Policy, most of Britain's main warships have returned to British soil, and the British fleet in this area is relatively weak.

The Americans, since seizing the Philippines in 1898 through the Spanish-American War, have established military ports in the Philippines. Hoarded a powerful South Pacific fleet.

Last year, after Chen Zhong destroyed the two huge Pacific Fleets of the US military in the East China Sea War, the Americans have been like eating a dead fly in their stomachs, and they are extremely uncomfortable.

Nowadays, the situation in the American world is quietly changing, and they know the truth of one thing and the other.

As a result, the Americans avoided as much as possible the foreign strategy of military expansion.

It was determined that they would engage in economic construction on a large scale, recuperate their energy, and wait for the opportunity for their rise in the United States in this interval.

Chen Zhong knew very well what the Americans were thinking, and he knew that the Americans absolutely did not want a war involving them in the near future.

The Americans, who were originally the world's major powers, are engaged in an arms race on a large scale, and they are eager to try it out with great vigor around the Balkan Peninsula.

In such a world situation, people who are indifferent to the bystanders will know very well that the final result will definitely kill several countries, and even if they can survive, it will be like recovering from a serious illness and greatly hurting their vitality.

The ship is a cool enemy and hateful to the moon and shows an early pass

At this time, they came out again to clean up the mess, pretending to be saviors, and influenced the readjustment of the world pattern.

What Chen Zhong is thinking about now is how to curb the Americans' dream of the century and stir them into World War I.

Chen's eyes on this part of Central and South Asia are set on Manila, which is occupied by the Americans.

If the Americans hoard this for a long time, it will inevitably affect this route in the South Pacific of the Chinese Empire. This strategic location must be unplugged.

After last year's war in the East China Sea, the US military's maritime power had already suffered a great deal of damage, so the US military presence in the Philippines was only symbolic.

In view of the subtle changes in the world pattern during this period, Chen Zhong convened a meeting of ministers of parliament. Su Qun, minister of military intelligence, and Liu Hongliang, director of the Senate Department, also attended the meeting as observers.

Not far away, the enemy is the only enemy of the moon

Chen Zhong roughly summarized the achievements of the Chinese Empire during this period after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and analyzed the current situation in the world.

At the meeting, Liu Hongliang, head of the Senate Department, put forward the idea of taking the South Seas in the south and attacking Russia in the north.

Because, during this period, a war was brewing in Europe, and Russia had no time to care about the Far East.

Although the Chinese Empire has successfully penetrated into this region in West Asia, there has always been an American influence on the sea routes to West Asia.

If we don't want the Americans to keep watching us in the process, we have to pull out this nail and let the Americans go back to their hometown from the Philippines.

We must send troops to the Philippines in the near future, because our fleet is strong enough, but the United States' maritime power is already relatively weak, so it is the most appropriate time for us to destroy the American garrison in the Philippines during this period.

Chen Zhong nodded and said, "How to provoke this war, let me think about it." You move on to the issue of taking Russia in the north. ”

Liu Hongliang continued: "At present, the Balkans in Europe are becoming increasingly tense, and the Russian and German armies are at loggerheads on the border, and there is a possibility of an outbreak at any time.

At present, Britain is the most reluctant to go to war between Germany and Russia, because, during this time, if Germany and Russia go to war, it will inevitably trigger a war in the whole of Europe, and according to the entente of various countries, Britain, France and Germany will be involved in this war.

The British were not ready for this big war, so they hoped that the German-Russian war would be delayed for two or three years before it would be appropriate.

The Germans did not want to fight Russia at this stage, but Russia, because of the revolutionary movements in the country, needed a war to alleviate such internal contradictions.

If, during this period of time, we can quickly organize our army, find an excuse, send troops to Russia, attack them, and take back the territory that Russia has seized from us.

Last year, Russia wantonly operated in the Mongolian region of our country with the aim of supporting the establishment of the country, and as a result, there were skirmishes between us and Russia on the border.

After this conflict, a cloud of war had hung over the Chinese Empire. ”

Su Qun, head of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, said: "Your Majesty, according to the latest information obtained by our Ministry of Military Intelligence, Russian spies have never stopped, and they have been operating in Inner Mongolia and Tibet in Xinjiang.

Recently, there has been rampant activity in the Xinjiang region, instigating several riots.

In addition, there is news that the Americans have successively bought 90 million dollars of Japanese government bonds.

The Japanese are now using this huge amount of money to expand their military and purchase weapons, and they have also ordered nine giant battleships of 26,800 tons from the United States, and the Japanese have also begun to research and produce their own super dreadnought battleships. ”

Chen Zhong said: "The Americans began to make bad things again, and they began to support the Japanese to deal with us.

With this huge amount of money, Japan, which is in financial difficulties, will certainly increase its armaments again.

After the distant hatred of the enemy, the ball Moyue and the hatred of the sun

Obviously, this is using small Japan to contain our Chinese Empire, which is indeed not good news. With the support of this huge amount of money from the United States, Japan will inevitably accelerate the pace of military expansion, which is like planting a time bomb on our doorstep.

Xiao Yang said with some apprehension: "Your Majesty, after the war between us and Russia, it is very likely that the Japanese will also get involved. Will the armies of our Chinese Empire face a flank attack? ”

The feud is not only the reason why Sun Cha received Yangxue

Chen Zhong smiled and said, "I think that a war can not only be won by a few warships, a few cannons, and a strong army, but also by the country's comprehensive economic strength.

Japan is now impoverished, and its national economy has basically collapsed. With a little funding from the United States, it is difficult to support a big war.

The enemy is far away from the enemy, and the enemy learns from the moon technique to fight the master

Others are engaged in a big arms buildup, and if they want to fight the army on our land again, it will be even more difficult than reaching the sky.

Because one Bohai Sea fleet is enough for them to fight for a few years, it is strange that the current little Japan dares to consume us and drag him to death! ”

Several ministers nodded and agreed with Chen Zhong's analysis, the current strength of the Japanese navy is really not the same as that of the imperial navy of the Huaxia Empire.

"Therefore, I mean to go to war with Russia in the north, to regain our land, and to use some tactics in the South Seas to force the Americans to cede the Philippines," Chen said. ”
