Game of Thrones is just a game, as long as no force is used, Tang Ning is happy to see Li Hongzhang and Zeng Jize arguing in the Qing Dynasty. Freedom and quarrel are a symbol of an open civilization, and as president of the German Confederation, he should do something interesting for the Germans.

France had hit a wall in Madagascar in its search for colonies in Africa, and Downing was glad to have the opportunity to "let go of that girl and let me come." Historically, the German Empire was united by the landlocked country of Prussia, and it is conceivable that it could not compete with the maritime powers such as Britain, France, and the United States in the struggle for colonies.

Germany was defeated in both world wars, and each time it worked hard to get a little colony, it was defeated, so people rarely heard of any colonies in Germany. Chairman Tang wants to change this situation. Colonization itself has no meaning, but instead of letting a country like France, where Catholicism and imperial power still prevail, harm the Kingdom of Madagascar, it is really "better for me to come".

Why would you be interested in Madagascar? Because, it is a large island, and it is an island of wonders of ecological diversity. The largest island in the world is Greenland, which, as everyone knows, is a huge land of ice and snow, and it is in the hands of friendly Denmark. New Guinea, the world's second-largest island, is already in the hands of Downing.

The third largest island in the world is Borneo in Southeast Asia, currently divided between Malaya, the Dutch colony of Indonesia, and the Republic of Lanfang. Since Singapore has the most powerful navy in the world, Malaya dominates Borneo, and the Dutch have already ceded New Guinea and are embarrassed to bully them again. The Republic of Lanfang is an extremely rare country established by the Chinese overseas, and it has close relations with the Qing Dynasty, so it can be regarded as a matter on the territory of the Great Qing Dynasty.

The next largest island in the world is Madagascar, with an area of about 600,000 square kilometers, and the nearest continent is Mozambique (Portuguese colony) in eastern Africa. Madagascar's east coast is steep with tropical lowland forests, and in the center is the highland region, where rainfall is still abundant, and the traditional homeland of the Merina people, nourished by terraced agriculture, is the most densely populated area of Madagascar. The Merina people are from Borneo and have a close relationship with Downing.

Because of the presence of the plateau, which makes it impossible for the humid air to cross to the east, the terrain to the west of the highlands gradually dries out, with dry deciduous forests, thorny shrubs, desert and xerophytic scrublands. The baobab tree is the only giant tree in the dry deciduous forest, and the tall lotus root-shaped trunk with a handful of leaves on top of it dots the land like an acacia in the African savannah, creating an intoxicating beauty. The thorny shrubs, which are so terrifying that you can't look at them directly, are also quite visually stunning. Perhaps these bizarre creatures were what intrigued Downing the most.

Since we talked about the fourth big, I simply talked about the top ten. The next fifth-largest island in the world is Baffin Island in Canada, which is also an uninhabitable land with a bit of Eskimos, and has often served as an entry point for Arctic expeditions in later generations.

The sixth largest island in the world is Sumatra in Dutch Indonesia, separated from Singapore by the Strait of Malacca.

The seventh largest island is Honshu, the main body of Japan, so I won't say anything about that.

The eighth largest island is Victoria Island, and as the name suggests, it is also a snowy land in northern Canada.

The ninth largest island is the island of Great Britain, which includes England and Scotland, and that's not to say much.

The tenth largest island is Ellesmere Island, or is it part of the Arctic and belongs to Canada.

It's amazing to think about it, Japan and the United Kingdom, which have been so heavily colored in human history, are only the seventh and ninth largest, and Downing will surpass them by several places if he wins any Madagascar. The colony was the expression of the great power in this era, and Downing designed a Madagascar company for Germany, an important colony, in which the state and capital participated at the same time, with the government contributing half of the shares, accounting for 50% of the shares, the Bank of Zurich contributing 10%, and the rest to the financial market in Frankfurt, raising a total of 1 million euros, at which time the euro was worth about 1 to 1 pound.

Despite Downing's repeated statements that the colonization plan was about the same as poverty alleviation, and that everyone should not be too enthusiastic, the Frankfurt capital market went on a buying spree in view of the Windsor consortium's history of success in industrial innovation, and the Madagascar company's share price tripled in a week.

On the surface, Madagascar is also a kingdom that has undergone democratic reforms, and after the death of its previous king, the queen was given the title and executive power of the queen, somewhat like the United Kingdom. But a closer look reveals a big difference, the people believe that the current queen Rasuhelina and her mistress murdered the king, so they are very dissatisfied with her, Rasuhelina was forced to divorce the prime minister's lover and marry the next prime minister, this prime minister is still the queen's brother!

How do Westerners feel about this regime? Almost more morally depraved than an atheist. Recently, in the Confederate States of America, a lawyer and a teacher in Tennessee, who had been banned from the theory of evolution, deliberately violated the law, and after receiving funding from his colleagues, he "surrendered" to the police, and he did give a class on evolution to his students, which is naturally punishable according to Tennessee law, and then the two warriors argued Christian fundamentalism and evolution theory with great fanfare with the prosecution lawyer in court.

Both sides of the argument were nationally renowned lawyers, because both fundamentalist and evolutionary views felt that the debate was a pinnacle of ideologies. Fundamentalists, as the name suggests, are a group of people who believe that they have to live exactly according to the literal requirements of the Bible, and their lawyers are hit hardest, and it is from the evolutionary view that lawyers have found a fatal moral flaw in the Bible - the Bible says that the ancestors of mankind were Adam and Eve, so where did the holy and noble Christians come from, the wives of Cain, the sons of the ancestors of mankind?

Christians familiar with the Bible knew that the situation was not good, which meant that Cain's wife might well have been his own sister, and that the fundamentalist lawyer, who had always believed that he had firmly held the moral high ground, began to collapse and then became more and more dysfunctional and became an empty, pale failure to declare that the winner of the debate of the century for true religious freedom was the evolutionist.

This is how Christians view the marriage of their closest relatives, so of course the West does not have a good opinion of the marriage of the Queen of Madagascar. The responsibility of "doing the right thing for heaven" fell on the shoulders of the German colonists, and no one would think that the head of the Windsor consortium would lead the martial German soldiers to attack Madagascar and fail, and many even believed that this was a combination of the world's strongest navy and the strongest army. Later, it was added that there was also the strongest air force in the world.

The Kingdom of Madagascar has learned the European system in a good way, and sent ministers to Britain and France, and the German Foreign Office submitted a declaration of war to the Minister in England in Madagascar, the reason for the declaration of war was that "the decaying and backward Malagasy dynasty cannot lead the Malagasy people to freedom, justice and abject poverty, and after careful consideration, the President of the German Confederation, Mr. Downing von Windsor, on behalf of the Federal Government and the people of Madagascar who knew this but did not dare to declare it, declared, The Madagascar royal family will lose the right to rule Tsushima with immediate effect, and the German marines will land on the Falklands in the near future. ”

Madagascar, a small and weak African island country, has an infinite possibility of military self-preservation, and can only turn to international powers for help, in other words, it can only seek diplomatic support from Britain, France, the United States, Russia, Prussia and other countries.

France, which had originally taken a fancy to Madagascar first, instantly turned into a heroic savior and opposed the German invasion of the Falklands. Russia, of course, was also in the vanguard of the anti-Windsor movement, and they also wanted to rally the government of Li Hongzhang to support the Kingdom of Madagascar. Li Hongzhang was shocked by the invasion of a country by Windsor imperialism without warning, and among the major powers, the Qing Ministry of Foreign Affairs (the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen had been renamed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by Guo Songtao) was the most euphemistic, saying that "we consider arbitrary interference in the internal affairs of other countries to be incompatible with international practice, and ask Mr. President of the German Confederation to think twice before acting." ”

Of course, these are all verbal parties, and no one dares to really send troops to help Madagascar, and if France makes a mistake, I am afraid that after defeat, it will have to cede Paris. The Russian navy was almost completely wiped out, and it was impossible to find the tools to take advantage of it. In the United States, isolationism is already rampant, and President Lincoln, who was assassinated because of the division between the North and the South, is even more absolutely verbalistic.

As for the ****** of the Qing Dynasty, he was not even sure whether he really fully controlled the power of the Qing Dynasty, and he did not dare to act rashly in the affairs of the military family.

The Germans who have no colonial tradition are really embarrassed, and there are many aborigines of Madagascar who can speak ** language, and there are also English speakers, because they are closer to the Portuguese colony of Mozambique, and there are a little Portuguese speakers, but there are almost no German-speaking people. As a last resort, the first expeditionary force had to recruit some German generals and soldiers who could speak English and English.

The Germans were very strict in their work, knowing that there was absolutely no chance of military defeat, but the General Staff made a very safe plan to occupy the largest island in the northwest of Madagascar, the largest island outside the country's main island, so that they could advance and retreat freely, and then to the western port city of Mahajanga. （http：/／.)。

The western part of the country is relatively arid, and cities like Mahajanga, which are hot and rainless for eight months of the year, severely restrict the development of the local population, and this is where the desalination technology that the Windsor Empire excels at is most useful, and the German staff believes that this way can ensure that the Federal Expeditionary Force can quickly establish itself on the Falklands.

The German army will show strong military strength in the step-by-step encounter with the army of the Kingdom of Madagascar, in order to achieve the goal of victory without a fight, as long as every battle is a complete victory, it will naturally be able to minimize civilian casualties, and lay a good foundation for the decisive battle of the final capital Antananarivo in the future, and it is estimated that the final decisive battle will be crushed by the opponent.

During the period of the conservative offensive, the German soldiers were able to adapt to the extremely hot climate of Madagascar, which was not achieved overnight. Many soldiers are forced to transform from fighters to workers during the "adaptation period", and the fighters cannot enjoy air conditioning, so as not to be unaccustomed to the brutal battlefield in real engagements, and the workers can.
