Chapter Twenty-Three: The Halberd of the King (II)

National War! Winner vs. Dead - A century-old history of the war hidden in the top-secret archives of the United Empire of St. Roman-Santsunia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are always too many unspeakable secrets in the top-secret historical archives of the superpowers' national confidential rooms.

Some things are so filthy that they must be kept tightly hidden for the sake of the glorious image of the leader, like the bald syphilis of the president of the logistics company and the nation of Washington. "Chair, this is penicillin, which is specially provided to you by American friends." Any great cry blown into heaven by various Goebbels? Is it glorious? Right? , they are by no means eunuchs, let alone saints, they are all mortals with the most basic desires of human beings, just mortals with super good luck. Plus, this top-secret story that came to light tells us that condoms really matter. Who is that, a bald returnee without a condom, there were no antibiotics at that time, and there were no rubber products issued by the family planning department, the key problem was that he was so good, he couldn't stop the car, and then the tragedy came, the supreme leader majority famine brother died of illness in the widowhood, and the seat was given to Uncle Joseph, who loved the Great Purge.

Some things are too advanced and unimaginable, and telling the public may cause great social chaos, such as the scientists and their projects at the secret base 1,000 meters underground in Area 51. According to rumors in some sectors, these few are by no means fighting alone, they are by no means fighting alone, they represent a species, they represent a nation, they represent a planet. Nima, these six-fingered monsters are too efficient at catching strong men. But that's always a rumor, and I think these scientists are quite real, and we have to count on people to do research and development to make money. Oh, sorry, mistakenly, they're not people.

Some things, many more things, for those high-level countries concerned, that is God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know. It's good to know, it's never recorded in the official history, and it won't be put on the table for the public. Over time, some things have been disseminated and disseminated in various forms in the form of lace news about relevant leaders, anecdotes about the country's military history, and even the conversation of officials with background at the wine table. Some people know about it, everyone knows it, and they all know that this is true, but history at the formal level absolutely does not recognize it. For example, the "Vietnamese People's Army" in Dien Bien Phu and the "Volunteer Army Pilots" on the north side of the 38th parallel have grown "hard currency" in the fields that can be exchanged for guns, cannons, cotton and grain. There were too many such things, and the dealings and inside stories behind them were well known to the leaders of that place at that time.

The essence of the international political sphere is a market for trading interests. A leader or a politician who can have a good time here is like a successful businessman, investment is profit, and income is more profit.

The "businessmen" of the top political circles can hardly spend a single soldier of their own family, and exchange the interests of other people's families for a certain benefit they need, this advanced trick is called borrowing strength in Chinese kung fu, and the term of the investment community - "empty gloves white wolf", also called "karate". The winner of this trade is the current buzzword "winner in life". The recently popular debt king, Venezuelan socialist pig leader Chavez, is a karate expert, and with $50 billion in hand, he can spend a while crazy again.

Corresponding to the successful karate black belts in the international political circle are all kinds of unlucky people who have fallen to the ground and suffered losses due to their interests being betrayed. Among them, the most miserable unlucky ones may be those who have lost a country like the Tasman Empire.

Secret (1) The real counterinsurgency war - the United Empire of Saint Romans vs the national war of the Tasman Empire

A Brief Discussion on the Fall of the Tasman Empire - The Three Character Classic, excerpted from the history textbook of the Republic of Assenstein, a puppet state of the United Empire of St. Roman

It was strong in the past, but now it is declining, and the country is prosperous, and it is difficult to give up. For the sake of face, seek peace of mind, prosper the military purchase, and prepare sharp weapons.

A cannon, a thousand pounds of silver, a ship, a province of gold. Casting the prestige of the country, sparing no expense, the treasury is empty, and the people's livelihood is covered.

The army is vast, there are more than 100 ships, and after twenty years, they are all old goods. Issuing banknotes, gathering people's wealth, and then purchasing weapons, Weiwei famous.

False fame, real powerless, weak country, and public discouragement. From the side, the fleet is destroyed, the paper tiger, and the world laughs.

Strengthen the country and tigers, operate the knife, grass mustard people, and raise the banner of righteousness. Foreign armies, millions, in times of crisis, fight back.

The army of this clan, although brave in battle, is dead at the end of the days. Ashina, enemies on all sides, unable to resist, fled to other places.

A thousand-year-old country, a hundred years old, five hundred years, invincible. The barbarians are fierce, despise technology, are uneducated, and enslave the people.

Lost people's hearts, empty treasury, widows, lack of sharp weapons. The clan war, the battlefield is cold, the momentum is weak, and it is difficult to win.

The benefits are combined, the hearts are united, the age is not enough, and the country is ruined. Qiankun Hao, the people are free, this country is dead, and it is in accordance with heaven.

As the saying goes, the three-character scripture is learned by children, and only children believe the words in the three-character scripture, which is true (children are easy to deceive, you know). The Tasman Empire, founded by the barbarians, was unpopular from the beginning, relying entirely on the army, barbaric governments to establish the state by violence, and completely relying on the top-level violent machinery of the army to maintain its rule. In the hundreds of years of imperial rule, there have been many uprisings of the conquered recorded in the royal archives, but the Tasman Empire still exists in the era of human technological civilization. In fact, the will of the people does not determine history to much extent. What the following emperor said has some truth:

Romeo Aemilius Caesar: "The Tasman Empire is a barbarian country, the scientific and technological strength of this empire is very weak, he has never paid attention to education and science, he cannot make good weapons, and the equipment of his army will only become more and more backward." The equipment in his army with a little technical content was bought from other countries at high prices, and with the accumulated wealth, he could buy a large number of advanced weapons at any price, but he could never really master the leading military science and technology. He can buy a temporary ranking of the top military powers in the world, but one day he will fall behind...... There was a limit to the wealth of this empire, which came entirely from the plundering of the peoples of its dependencies and conquered territories. The dawn of science and technology released by the industrial revolution has begun to shine on mankind, and civilization will surely usher in liberation. In the near future, both the empire and the armies on which it rests will be obsolete. ”

Later, the trend of history was as predicted by the United Emperor, but if the descendants of Romeo Caesar did not use and instigate the uprising within the empire, fully support the rebel army and take various means to fight and weaken the Tasman Empire, I am afraid that the flames of the uprising will eventually be extinguished by the empire. Without foreign aid, no matter how large-scale popular uprising is, at best, it will put the Tasman Empire in a difficult situation temporarily. Without such a powerful external force as the United Empire as a backstage, not many regular armies would have joined the ranks of the rebel army in formation, and the rebel army would not have become a climate at all, nor would it be too large-scale. Without the full force of the United Empire, the Tasman Empire would still exist, at best gradually declining, but it was entirely possible to flourish again.

In B95, the Tasman Empire Navy unexpectedly failed twice in succession in a row, and there was a certain scale of riots in the country, and some foreign enemies also tried their luck. In B96, the United Empire of San Romain decisively seized the opportunity to use a series of dark combination punches to beat the old empire half to death, and then feasted on the knife. Seeing that the half-eaten roast suckling pig is about to wake up, when he wakes up, he will bite the person who eats him. Therefore, the United Empire struck first and launched Operation Storm Campaign, intending to completely annihilate the remnants of the Imperial Army in order to prevent future troubles. In this war, the United Empire has always been able to adopt the right or relatively correct national policy at critical moments to maximize its national interests. The government of the United Empire of San Romain has a scientific and effective decision-making organization system, and the top levels of the government are all elites from political families. The government of the country uses the most professional people, follows the most scientific model, and has the correct guiding ideology, and it is not difficult at all to achieve these three points, and it is not difficult to achieve the right path step by step.

At this time, the top leaders of the Tasman Empire, especially the royal family, had clearly realized the greed of the United Empire and the mistakes of appeasement.

Rebellions by Hallelujahs, rebels, tribal militants, and other forces in the empire were in full swing, and the upper echelons of the empire, who had no experience in such incidents, were in chaos. In the face of the rebellion, which is extremely powerful behind the United Empire of San Romain, the decision-makers are completely intimidated, forgetting that they are also a big country, and their own country also has the appeal close to that of a superpower, and it can also call for wind and rain in the international community...... Frightened, his head is clouded, and he only knows about the exchange of interests, a completely unfair, and the Tasman Empire has exchanged a large part of its territory for a blank promise from the United Empire of St. Roman. At that time, the top brass of the empire thought that the entire Hallelujah settlement would be enough to feed the old enemy of the United Empire of San Roman, and then the Tasman Empire could concentrate its forces to quell the rebellion. Without the support of the military equipment of the United Empire, the alien armies in the Imperial Army would hardly launch a large-scale uprising. As for those daring grassroots rebels, they are definitely not the opponents of regular armies with a thousand-year-old history of conquest like the Tasman Imperial Army, and even if they have an absolute numerical advantage, they will not be able to win.

With the instigation and assistance of our United Empire, the Empire's alien armies rebelled in formation, and then more alien armies rebelled, and finally even some of their own armies began to surrender and rebel. After all, the Tasman Empire was a former superpower with centuries-old roots, and even if the rebellious alien armies (known as rebel armies in the church) reached unimaginable proportions and numbers, the Tasman Empire was not quickly finished. In this critical situation, the Imperial Army, a great army with a history of 1,000 years of glorious conquest, is still in an orderly manner, sitting still, and resolutely and resolutely carrying out the battle plan with a great chance of victory.

In accordance with the battle plan drawn up by the General Staff of the Imperial Army, the Asenstan region was pacified first under the condition that the security of the Imperial capital was given priority; Then, with Assenstan as a rear and departure base, he crossed the sea to quell the rebellion in the northern region of the Borosa Peninsula; At the same time, the area around the capital was used as a starting base to quell the rebellion in the western region. According to this plan, it would take only two years at most for the Tasman Empire to gradually put down the rebellion in non-Hallelujah areas with the military power of their own people gathered together. The Empire could then rely on the huge military power that had been expanded in the counterinsurgency war to negotiate with the United Empire or engage in local wars, with a high probability of recovering a significant portion of the lost territory.

If this plan is successfully realized fully or mostly, although the empire has lost part of the Hallelujah settlement, from the perspective of territory and population alone, the Tasman Empire on this time event line is still a big country, and it is possible that due to the discovery of some mineral resources and resource exploitation in the territory, it will turn over, like some resource countries in the real world, export oil and other enough wealth, and raise eyebrows again.

But all this plan was a dream, and it didn't come true. Because the Tasman Empire underestimated the appetite and determination of its old enemy, the United Empire of St. Roman, from the very beginning, misjudged the nature of the war from the outset. This is not a local rebellion, a counterinsurgency war, as the Tasman Empire thinks, not in the first place. It was a war in which the United Empire of Saint-Roman almost emptied its stocks of war-ready arms. Because this "counterinsurgency war" was a national war between the United Empire of St. Romans and the Tasman Empire from the very beginning.

What is a national war?? This war is not over until a country collapses.

Secret (2) The Hundred Years' War - The Civilized World of Civilized People vs. the Barbarian Military Conquest Group

This is actually a war with a history of nearly 100 years, a war that can only be seen in top-secret archives.

In the dim years of history, the rampant barbarians, the remnants of civilization, and the unbearable old things in the history books.........

Throughout the A-century before the B century, the Tasman Empire, founded by the barbarians, had maintained its military might and was indeed one of the three great powers of the world at that time. In the twenties of the B century, the United Empire of St. Roman-St. Sunia was under the military threat of the Tasman Empire from the day it was founded. The perfect marriage of Romeo Emilius Caesar to Princess Catherine Constantine and the lives of their offspring are interfered with from time to time by the greedy behavior of the "turkey savage phoenix man" family. All the citizens of this new country are under threat from the Tasman Empire, and a large part of the original territory of the Kingdom of Santa Sunia is still under the occupation of the "Barbarian Phoenix Man" family, and war could break out again at any time. It's not just the United Empire that is uneasy about the existence of the Tasman Empire, the entire continent is shrouded in the shadow of this barbarian giant nation, and all civilized people face the threat of barbarian butcher knives.

In the dark years, a figure of great international appeal (suspected to be the then Hallelujah Pope) secretly called on civilized nations to unite against this barbarian. "In order that the descendants of civilized men may breathe freely, this barbarian nation must be destroyed," and "otherwise civilization will survive under the scimitars of the savages." ”

All the kings agreed with this, but their strength was difficult to achieve, and if the barbarian empire attacked with all its might, the civilized nations would have to defend themselves even if they united. "It's going to be a long war, warriors, we're going to defend civilization, we're going to fight for God!!" Julius Caesar, the United Empire of St. Romans and Santsunia, the most powerful nation of civilians on the Central Continent, decided to take responsibility for the world of civilizers and launched a war against the vassals of the Tasman Empire. Other kings were generous in their offerings. At this time, the industrial revolution that was in full swing greatly enhanced the war capabilities of civilized nations. The strength of civilized nations has long been beyond their own imagination. Backed by great strength, Caesar won......

The plan of the Pope and the kings has been carried out. Romeo Aemilius Caesar, a military genius, repeatedly waged wars against the vassals of the Tasman Empire, and also fought against the Tasman Empire many times. Generations of officers and soldiers of the United Empire have defended the civilization of the Central Continent with their blood and lives, and at the same time opened up territory and strengthened the strength of the United Empire. Correspondingly, the Barbarian Nation group, led by the Tasman Empire, was constantly weakened. When Julius Caesar abdicated, he had cleared all the vassals of the Tasman Empire, and his old enemies were left alone in this civilized continent.

With the full completion of the industrial revolution, science and technology have given birth to a great improvement in the level of productivity of civilized people, and the strength of civilized people is becoming stronger and stronger, while barbarians are relatively weaker and weaker. Not only that, but changes in the rules of human production and trade on the Central Continent directly contributed to the decline of the Tasman Empire. With the continuous decline of the barbarian boss, the victory of civilized people is destined to be an inevitability. In addition, to deal with this big man, it is necessary to find the best "way of attack", and there is no need to use the army in the war between countries, and the civilized people at this time have already had more sophisticated means than war.

Secret (3) Great Power Killing Trick - The Doomsday Talisman of the Dead

In the second half of the B century, against the public enemy, the barbarian Tasman Empire, a series of non-military attacks by civilized people, bloodless great powers, were launched one after another.

Great Power Killing Move, the Arms Race in the B Century. The most intense and effective of these unarmed attacks was the arms race in the B century. The demise of this barbarian state began with an arms race initiated by civilized people, the first in history with science and technology as its core competitive advantage. Originally, civilized countries should have resolutely excluded this barbaric country from the scientific and technological system. The Saxony-Windsor Empire and the Kingdom of Wilhelm felt that it was profitable, and helped the Tasman Empire build up a modern army through arms trading and military technology exports, increasing the military strength of the Tasman Empire, but the empire's accumulated gold was depleted. Only paper money can be issued, and private silver can be collected to fill the treasury and be used for international spending.

The second major power kills the second, the Central Continental International Trade Agreement. Unarmed offensives in the arms race model were the most immediate cause of the Tasman Empire's economic collapse, which was exacerbated by international trade agreements between the United Empire and powerful countries such as the Saxony-Windsor Empire. The Central Continent International Trade Agreement, which was reached and gradually implemented in 49 of the B century, stipulated that the countries of the Central Continent would use the Imperial Gold Dollar of the Saxony-Windsor Empire as the settlement currency for inter-state trade, and that if there was no Saxony-Windsor Empire Gold Dollar, gold could also be used, and one ounce of gold was equal to 30 Imperial Gold Dollars. The Tasman Empire had no goods that could be sold to the Saxony-Windsor Empire or other developed countries, and there was no shortage of colonies, so the Tasman Empire could only use the gold obtained by various means and the silver converted by the exchange to buy all kinds of materials it needed.

The third big country kills the third, the Central Continental Precious Metals and Commodity Futures Exchange. Some left-handed graves say that the commodity futures exchanges in London and Chicago are tools for developed countries to plunder developing countries. These left-left people are very right, and they are really Nima's right. Using futures exchanges to manipulate prices, technologically backward countries and colonies such as the Tasman Empire sold goods were always as cheap. The fruits of the laborer's labor are priced by the demander, and this price cannot be too high, but it allows you to continue to produce, plus a small profit in the nature of a little leftovers, so the laborer in the developing country will definitely not make a fortune. The prices of industrial products sold in developed countries are set by the manufacturers themselves, and they have the final say.

The fourth big country is a giant crocodile-level multinational investment group. These big crocodile investment groups actually control a large number of high-quality real economies through holding companies, and may completely control the prices of certain types of industrial products; Through its financial and banking companies and excellent financial operation team, it has the ability to manipulate the price of a certain type of commodity for a certain period of time. When the Tasman Empire purchased warships, multiple military-industrial complexes jointly raised prices, and the extra money was shared by everyone's profits. When the Tasman Empire needed to sell silver from the treasury to buy arms to save its life, silver plummeted, and the prices of some varieties in the international arms market rose sharply again.

The five major countries are killing moves, the cultural concept is exported, and the general religion is infiltrated......

These bloodless offensives were extremely violent, and the strength of the Tasman Empire was repeatedly weakened...... The time for a "general offensive" is approaching, but it is not yet the best time. The arrival of an inevitable event requires certain fortuitous events as a catalyst. In B95, the Imperial fleet was defeated in two naval battles of Cape Roquedel with the White Ocean Democratic Federation. A perfect fuse...... After waiting for a long time, the decisive moment finally came, the decisive battle of this Hundred Years War.

In B96, the Tasman Empire was in turmoil with a nationwide rebellion and an unprecedented counterinsurgency war, and the Tasman Empire was in turmoil.

In B96, the United Empire of San Romain had almost emptied its arsenals to aid the rebels, and had also procured large quantities of arms on the international market. Almost all banks in the United Empire had "Imperial Gold Coins" and "Imperial Silver Coins" for the newly occupied territories, and mints were set up to make money in the newly occupied territories.

Later in the war, a large number of United Empire troops directly participated in the war, completely cleaning up the Tasman Empire forces in the Yasenstein region and the Borosa Peninsula region.

The civilized nations led by the United Empire of St. Romans and Sanssunia fought wars for nearly a hundred years, and through various forms of attacks, finally completely eliminated the powerful enemy of the Tasman Empire in the final battle of 96 of the B century.

Secret (4) The deceased died of a mistake

The United Empire of St. Roman's Santa Sunia was able to win the Hundred Years' War in the final battle due to a series of important policy mistakes on the part of the Tasman Empire. The Tasman Empire was effectively destroyed at its own hands.

The historical Tasman Empire, once one of the world's three great powers, was ranked sixth in the list of world powers a few years before its demise, and was one of the most powerful barbarian countries. Objectively speaking, history did not discriminate against this powerful country built by the barbarians, and the god of fate also gave him more than one chance to become strong and avoid destruction, which may be the thinking mode and wrong ideas of the imperial high-level that caused the national policy to be wrong again and again. Here we will not talk about high-level institutional terms, but only on military issues.

First, the navy of the mainland country leaped forward. In the early 50s of the B century, the Tasman Empire joined the arms race of the B century, launched a plan to build a strong army on both land and sea, purchased a large number of weapons from the international market, and replaced the army with new equipment. The reigning emperor at that time dictated: "The strength of the navy must be worthy of the strength of our empire." The country has made a leap forward in naval armament, fully realizing the self-manufacture of capital ships with new equipment and the strength of its navy has entered the forefront of the world. There is no need for a continental country to maintain too much maritime power, the empire's fleet is too strong, but the empire simply does not have so many colonies to defend. These fleets of naval battleships, yachts, became a kind of military presence without the slightest gain. These fleets for the sake of existence are a vast maelstrom that devours the wealth of the Empire. Because of the huge cost of the navy, the Imperial Army, which had a proud record, lost the opportunity to catch up with the development trend of the international army for the first time.

Missteps two, the pursuit of meaningless naval rankings. Since October 69 of the B century, the country's navy has 20 active ironclad dreadnoughts (ironclad battleships), and the number of large dreadnoughts with a tonnage of about 10,000 tons jumped to the first place in the world at that time. Historically, the Tasman Empire's navy has never been a strong navy, which is purely accidental, and the ranking lacks practical significance. But this fortuitous event became a symbol of the so-called imperial honor, and became an inevitable priority in the minds of the next emperor. Since then, in order to maintain the superiority of the Navy's capital ships at sea, in order to continue to make the empire dazzling, the empire has to continue this kind of competition with huge phone costs. "If the number of dreadnoughts is the first, then the number of warships is the first; If the number of warships cannot be maintained, then the number of capital ships will be among the highest in the world; In short, the Navy must have a project that can be used to brag about...... "But does this work!?? Vast amounts of wealth are spilling into the sea, army building is once again delayed, and to make matters worse, this non-stop race is plunging the empire into an economic crisis.

Third, the fundamental mistake in the positioning of the army has caused the army's armament system to be extremely backward. Behind the camouflage skin of the world's top X powerful fleet, there is a huge imperial army, the backward armament system has created an army with extremely backward equipment and a huge scale, backward equipment, antiques, and cannot make its own large-caliber artillery and ammunition. In order to support the table, the empire spent a lot of military money on the navy, and the army has not changed its equipment for 30 years. The Imperial Army has been transformed from an aggressive army during the period of foreign expansion into an internal guard force. The top brass of the empire thinks: The internal guards, against the unarmed people, big knives and spears are enough, not to mention that the guys in their hands are still rifles, machine guns and cannons!! The former emperor said, "The army has no strong combat objects, just maintain the status quo." ”

Fourth, "abuse of the army of temporary workers", unequal pay for equal work, and discrimination against foreign soldiers. Compared with the officers and soldiers of the empire's own people, the foreign soldiers under the same military banner are unstaffed temporary workers, and they are not even as good as the current temporary workers, pure cannon fodder personnel. The soldiers of the Imperial clan looked down on them in their hearts, and even they themselves looked down on themselves, and they did not dare to resist the unreasonable death orders of the Imperial Army. Our army has long noticed these non-native troops in the Tasman Empire, and has gradually established and maintained friendly relations with some of its generals, and when the time comes, it will decisively rebel. The main force of the armed forces of the rebels was these temporary cannon fodder armies, and it was these alien armies that really destroyed the Tasman Empire.

Fifth, dependence on foreign arms purchases. "It's better to buy than to build", many important equipment in this empire cannot be made by itself, and can only be purchased from foreign countries. Dependence on foreign arms purchases -- the cancer of all armies. In the case of being able to carry out arms procurement, countries that do not have their own technology and cannot manufacture advanced weapons and equipment on their own can arm their own armed forces through arms procurement, so that their armed forces have sufficient ability to defend themselves or conduct wars of a certain scale. However, once the arms purchase is interrupted, this army will become an army that lacks strong backing, a group that is passively beaten, and loses its proper combat capability.

Missteps six, superhero syndrome. The top of the empire only recognized brute force, only knew that it relied on its own strength, completely relied on the force of its own family, and rarely used the trade of interests between countries to solve problems. This may have something to do with the ethnic origin of the empire's own people, barbarians, herdsmen. The country has never had a real ally, it is just fighting alone.

At the time of the decisive battle of the Hundred Years' War, the twilight hero of the Tasman Empire was no longer the period of military expansion of the year, he was too wrong, old and weak, but he was still fighting bravely. He can defeat the helpless South Asian Senstan rebels, easily sweep away the tribal rebels, and crush the cities held by the rebels. When encountering the North Asianseman rebel army armed by the United Empire, the "warlike puppet army", the Tasman Imperial Army fought very hard. When encountering the newly formed Assenstan Army (United Imperial Volunteer Army), the Imperial Army was blinded. Approaching the last moment of the Tasman Empire, under the attack of the newly formed army of the United Empire of St. Roman, which was mainly composed of temporary workers and cannon fodder of the former Empire's alien army and equipped with a large number of artillery, the Tasman Empire's own army, which was lightly equipped and lacked heavy artillery, was completely unable to parry......

There is no permanent conquest, never!! In the rumbling cannons of the rebel armies of the once conquered races and the United Imperial Army of Saint Roman, the conquered races of civilized people were finally liberated. Alleluia!!
