Prologue (1) Three Rich Men
At that time, the past, the Baiyang River Plain in the past, was prosperous and peaceful. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoThe White Ocean Democratic Federation and its predecessor, the Plains Free City-State Council, have been around for millennia. Democratic federalism and parliamentarism have succeeded in ensuring political stability, social stability, and the people living and working in peace and contentment. This land has experienced a thousand years of peace.
A normal and prosperous society, which has experienced a thousand years of peace, must have accumulated huge wealth. Yes, for thousands of years, the White Ocean Democratic Federation has been the largest, most prosperous and richest country in this part of the continent. In fact, this area of the mainland should have been the first choice for the reincarnation of rich people and hedonists.
The three coastal countries here, the White Ocean Democratic Federation, the Principality of Oak, and Nalan, are all very rich. One millionaire doesn't rob another, and the same seems to apply to most countries. The three countries have always been in a state of peace, and they are almost peaceful to the outside world, but the White Ocean Federation has been neighbors to a barbarian race in the history of the White Ocean Federation, and it has been somewhat defensive in foreign wars.
Among the three richest people, the Baiyang Federation is a regional power, with a complete military and government system, and has some influence in the world, at least the international representatives of these three countries.
Nalan, a small and medium-sized country, is richer per capita than the White Ocean Federation, and has a certain number of troops, but there are not many. The Principality of Oak, a small country, a small country with a small population, a trading country, and an absolute Kuwait per capita, is surrounded by Nalan, what do I need an army for, the armed police are enough.
To the west of these three coastal millionaires, in those large areas of mountains and hills, were a number of small countries established by civilized and backward peoples. It's not a threat at all. So, in this area, three millionaires live happily.
Until one day, Nalan found that the small country adjacent to it had been destroyed. Destroyed by whom, Federation?? No way?? So who has the strength??
It is the Xilu Empire, which is rising step by step. This Nalan merchant of the Xilu Empire is very familiar. The Xilu Empire purchased a large number of arms through them, and the Nalan people helped to transport them. However, now it may not be necessary to buy arms through Nalan, and Nalan merchants have assisted them in importing equipment and established a basically complete military industrial system.
At that time, the Xilu Empire could be described as a strong soldier and a strong horse, and the next target was undoubtedly Nalan.
What to do? The top level of the Nalan government, composed of nobles and wealthy businessmen---- the national cabinet council blew up for a while. Everyone had different opinions, but even the speaker himself felt that what he said was unreliable.
Raise enough armies. It's too late, I'm afraid I can't beat it. I won once, and I will come again next time, this is only a bottomless pit.
Ask the White Ocean Federation for help. People may not come to reinforcements, how many come, whether they can win or not, far water can't quench their thirst, not to mention that foreign monks don't know the details.
Surrender. At least. At least live like a beggar. Dear, the rich are dignified. Many bankrupt rich people would rather go hungry than do what they do.
Finally, a cabinet member with the surname Konstantin said something meaningful: we surrender, we surrender with dignity and conditions.
His surrender was done in such a way that Nalan surrendered to the Xilu Empire and was incorporated into the Xilu Empire, but Nalan still had a high degree of autonomy. The Silu army was not stationed in Nalan, and the Nalan region was still ruled by the Nalan people themselves. In other words, Nalan existed as a dominion of the Xilu Empire.
Crowd: Is this a surrender? Would the Siru people probably agree?
He continued: We have bargaining capital, even if we don't have a single shot. As long as we have us, we have money, make good use of us and our money. Let's first think about what it will be like for the Xilu people to rule here, and how much long-term stable output there will be. Do the math briefly and you'll find out. We rule here, and we will remain a land of abundance. The difference in output between the different rulers was actually more than the long-term output that the Siru would have achieved by their own rule. That's what we have to negotiate with. In other words, we run this place, and the central tax that we can pay to the Xilu Empire every year is much more than the tax that the Xilu people themselves rule here and plunder, and the tax cost is lower. It is in the interests of the Xilu Empire that we run this place.
After the meeting, Nalan's envoy was immediately sent out, and on the border, the Xilu army was gathering.
Both sides were satisfied with the outcome of the talks. The Xilu soldiers gained a stable source of wealth without bloodshed, and the central coins that they had every year were more than they actually obtained by occupying and plundering and imposing taxes. The Nalan people bought peace with huge wealth, compared with the huge annual payment of military expenses and the losses caused by the war, the central tax paid is really too little, and the money to maintain a sufficient number of troops is enough to cover this cost, and the war expenses are saved, not to mention the loss of national lives.
The Xilu Empire also asked for several additional border strategic points for Nalan to ensure that the Nalan people would not regret it in the future. There is no doubt that this is a win-win negotiation. In the dark night street international environment where there were no patrolling police at that time, it was still wise for Nalan, a weak woman who was unarmed, to hand over her purse decisively in the face of the knife-wielding Xilu robbers.
On a night without street lights, a weak woman with an iPhone6s and a purse full of bills, a fierce robber with a knife appeared in front of her, what would happen if she didn't give money??
At worst, the robbers stole the money, raped the man, and tried the knife again. The woman may also be discarded, dismembered, hidden, and cremated.
Later, the Principality of Oak was such a result, and Nalan, who was still harmed, was raped by the rogue underworld of the Xilu Empire again.
The year after accepting Nalan as a Dominion, the Silu Empire began to ask the Principality of Oak for money. The small country of Oak thinks what can I do if I don't give it to you, Nalan is just your dominion, and you can't beat me without your army. As a result, the army of the Xilu Empire forcibly borrowed Nalan, marched, and plundered all the way, and entered the border between Oak and Nalan. Oak wanted to give money, but it was too late, and the knife was stabbedγγγγγ
The Xilu army burned down Lianchuan Port, the capital and only city of the Principality of Oak, and was happy for several days. The results of the robbery were remarkable, with 119 tons of physical gold alone, as well as a large number of financial assets, and several tons of foreign currency, and the country's own currency was absolutely of waste paper quality. In addition to these snatched treasures, there is also a major discovery---- these coastal countries are really rich, and the Nalan coins are a little small. What to do, there are treaties. We steppe people also speak of faithfulness. My Xilu Empire will trade fairly this time, and I will exchange a useless piece of mountain land for your fertile plain. The reason is that it is convenient for me to manage the small country of Occ, which I have captured. Is it a deal?
Closing a deal is a must. Otherwise, the tragic situation of Lianchuan Port will be staged in many places. The area north bank of the Qingtian River thus became the actual territory of the Xilu Empire. However, Nalan did not suffer a loss, and a large number of mineral resources were discovered in that mountainous area. With these resources, Nalan became richer, and these additional income also allowed Nalan to have enough wealth to secretly expand his armament. Eventually, the timing was right, and he had accumulated enough military strength of his own, and Nalan made a high-profile declaration of independence and won it.
The remnants of the Principality of Oak were only in exile, and after more than a year of sitting in the State Council on luxury yachts, the wealthy who escaped raised funds to start a large company that eventually grew into today's Oak Multinational Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. Quickly organize mercenaries, fake companies to cheat bank loans, and other non-mainstream businesses, this Oak multinational company is also very good at it.
For the villain of the Xilu Empire, there is also a chick, no, this is a muscular royal sister type mature woman.
After carrying out the real estate exchange business with Nalan, Xilu, a hooligan, has achieved a large area of contact with the mature woman of this royal sister Fan. At that time, the southern and western parts of the White Ocean Federation were bordered by Xilu. Although the dagger hooligan came up, the royal sister was not afraid, she had muscles, she was still very strong, and she also had a sword forged by herself.
At that time, the White Ocean Federation was aspiring to become a great power, and she was indeed very strong, having opened up a large overseas colony and a number of small colonies.
Whether on the ground or at sea, she has won many battles. In particular, her army units have defeated the invading barbarians many times in history, and for thousands of years, there have been no major defeats.
The White Ocean Federation Army units originated from the general hoplites, which were mainly shields and one-handed weapons. This kind of heavy infantry generally has high requirements for the quality of soldiers and equipment performance, and is the elite force of the infantry, which can play an outstanding role in both siege and field battles. The same goes for history. And her navy can be said to be one of the best in the world, which is also her goal in building a navy.
Entering the era of industrial civilization, she has more confidence in her army. In the face of this savage enemy, she had already begun to prepare for war, although this woman was always lucky and inefficient, she still had basic vigilance. At the outbreak of the war, the White Ocean Democratic Federation had 12 army corps and a number of independent divisions, with a total of 1.3 million army personnel. At that time, the army of the Xilu Empire was only 2.3 million, with many people but significantly lagging behind the federal army.
Her navy is even more powerful than Xilu, and even now she can ignore the existence of the Xilu navy. 39 ordinary cruisers, 4 heavy cruisers (one under construction), 13 destroyers. Powerful, right!?? Siru's navy only had gunboats and smuggling boats that he had stolen from the Oak mini Lori.
But the muscular lady who wielded the long sword was eventually raped or killed by the dagger hooligan.
β¦β¦β¦ A thousand-year-old country, the Baiyang Democratic Federation has died. At that time, although mankind had entered the age of hot weapons, civilization was defeated by barbarism again, and history seemed to have returned to the age of cold weapons rampant with barbarians.
The victor survives the battle of the husband's kingdom, and the loser dies. The national war, the survival of the country, must not be ignored. Everything has a common sense, and there is a reason for victory and defeat. The Sprinkler family explores it with this. β¦β¦β¦
This work will strive to record the history of the fall of the Baiyang Democratic Federation from the perspectives of the Baiyang Democratic Federation and the Xilu Empire.
