Chapter 173: Great

Tang Ning devoted himself to treating the Prince, and never advanced the current war situation between the Windsor Consortium and NATO in front of the Queen, and his distraction-free appearance made people feel that the Queen and the Prince cared more about the Windsor Consortium. Reports of the war between France and Italy first reached London.

The Italian army participated in the defense of the French army with only 10,000 troops, or a patchwork of East India Company, Lombardy, Hessian hunters, etc., and the French army was 100,000 brave and good at fighting. But the tide of the battle was clearly not in favor of the French.

First of all, the Italian airships reconnoitred at high altitudes, and had a bird's-eye view of all the strongholds and military operations of the French army, so that most of the French military operations could only be carried out at night, and they could not turn on the lights, and often went the wrong way themselves.

Secondly, the French army had to rely on the wireless telegraph network of the British telegraph company, which was very unreliable and ineffective under BT's mischief, and sometimes it was delayed for a long time before it was sent to the hands of friends, which seriously delayed the command of the French army. Unlike telephones, telegraphs are easy to detect when they are interfered with, and the French army can't even tell which is a malfunction and which is intentional BT, but they have no substitute and can only rely on the way of formulating a cipher table and using BT's wireless telegraph network to transmit information.

Later, a French scientist finally came up with a compromise solution - using short-range wireless telegraph communication, the telegram was transmitted to the past like an eight-hundred-mile expedited, without the need for a long-distance network through GuòBT. Short-range wireless telegraphy is already widespread among the people, so it is difficult for BT to curb this tactic, and the officers of the Military Intelligence Department of the Luxembourg Security Council cannot help but give a thumbs up: "Sure enough, the wisdom of the people is infinite!" "Of course, things from North America to Europe still have to rely on BT.

Third, the Italian army generally used the FN-1855, which could shoot covertly, while the French army still relied on firing the phalanx, and when attacking head-on, the frenzied Italian army threw down one lump after another of barbed wire, so that the French army's charge turned into a mouse licking a cat - looking for death. Therefore, the French army only had a few head-to-head encounters before losing the will to fight, which was too miserable.

Fourth, the Italian army only cared about defending with ease, never attacking, and also engaged in public opinion warfare, saying that "it is easy to capture Rome, and it should not be a problem to resist the attack of the French army, but how to repair relations with France after the war and how to maintain the dignity of Catholics are the most difficult." The Duke of London said that he still wanted to maintain friendly relations with Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie, and expressed unease and shame for hurting the feelings of Catholics, after all, God is the adoptive father who once nurtured the spiritual life of mankind, and atheists only provide a more logical, evidence-based, and civilized worldview, and have no intention of forcing Catholics to change their way of life. In the future, Rome will become a place of civilization and history, a holy place of freedom, and Catholics will be respected, but the Church cannot force them to adopt the way of life prescribed by the Church. Rome is the Rome of freedom. In fact, the code name for the march into Rome was: Free Rome.

The French army that invaded Italy was aggrieved enough, but the U.S. army was even more aggrieved than the French army, because Panama they invaded was a tropical rainforest area, where mosquitoes and snakes were rampant, spreading yellow fever, malaria, and parasites. The employees of the canal company received the order, the strategic retreat to the depths of the rainforest, they have all been injected with disease vaccines, and have quite reliable anti-mosquito equipment, as well as a variety of poisonous snakes, poisonous frogs antivenom, which unlucky egg was bitten by a snake, as long as a roar "Lao Tzu was bitten by a snake", naturally a doctor came to the rescue, and also brought a variety of poisonous snake pictures printed on the cards to identify which animal bites the unlucky egg, because these cards are very popular among the employees of the Panama Canal Company, So basically the unlucky guy can say the name of the viper before he even looks at the cards. Some bold employees even ran into the depths of the jungle to catch snakes with snake venom, especially those from Guangdong......

In the two weeks after entering the rainforest, soldiers began to suffer from chills, headaches, fevers, aches, fatigue and nausea, and began to lose a large number of troops. They are all hot-blooded patriotic young people, who were not killed by the enemy's bullets, but died at the hands of a tasteless disease, and when they died, they were ugly, which is really frustrating. There was a small detachment of American troops who finally touched a stronghold of the Canal Company, but these dozens of soldiers had half their lives left, and then sadly found that there were hundreds of people on the other side, each with a desert eagle, and the firepower was more ferocious than their Nimi rifles, and soon this group of American troops who were fortunate enough to see the guards of the Canal Company surrendered, and then ate and drank well, became good friends with the employees of the Canal Company, and when they left, they begged the people of the Canal Company not to say that they had come, so that they waved their sleeves and did not take away a single cloud. It's not easy, the people of the canal company agreed, and also injected these lucky people with disease vaccines, and presented snake venom and beautiful blueprints representing the great friendship of mankind, and when leaving, the two sides even hugged goodbye with tears, and gave each other words hoping that the war would end soon, and "friendship lasts forever".

In contrast to the calmness of the Panama Canal Company's employees, the Japanese were quite agitated, because their governor of the Bank of Japan, Mr. Windsor, said: "The Russians are deceiving people too much!" Nima, let's Alaska, let's grab Siberia as compensation! Guys, get ready to have a big fight with Lao Maozi! "The Japanese samurai were marginalized in the reform and became an unstable factor in Japanese society, all their privileges were gone, and they needed a place to vent, so Russo-Mao became their perfect target, can they not be excited?

However, in the past, Downing did not generally equip the Japanese army with FN-1855, and only a small number of troops of Saigo Takamori acted as trump card troops, since they were preparing to attack Russia in a big way, they divided into two steps, the first step was to use Saigo's army to deal with Russia and Mao in a defensive posture, and at the same time, the whole country was recruited and trained to become a samurai in the new era. The second step is to mobilize these powerful modern armies, with the old samurai as the main force. Let the Russians never forget.

In order to cooperate with Japan and make the Russians unforgettable, the Qing Dynasty was proclaiming the national policy of "equality of the five ethnic groups" in the imperial court, which was suspicious of various forces. The so-called five ethnic groups are the five main ethnic groups of Manchu, Han, Mongolian, Hui, and Tibetan, and as for Yunnan and Guangxi, a large number of small ethnic groups that have not slipped away are not counted, and they are all regarded as Han nationality.

In order to highlight the privileged status of the Manchus, each of the six ministries of the current court of the Qing Dynasty has a Manchu Shangshu with a palm print, which actually controls the power of the six ministries, and as soon as the equality of the five ethnic groups is introduced, all the privileges of the Manchus will be abolished, and the Manchu Shangshu will naturally be gone. After the equality of nationalities, the Qing Dynasty began to re-issue identity documents, that is, mechanical security chip identity cards made of thermoplastic technology, which will not indicate ethnic information at all, only "citizens of the Qing Dynasty", please note that from now on, the word "subject" is no longer used, which means that in the future, not only ethnic equality, but also equality between officials and people.

The place of origin of the resident on the identity card is completely matched with the area where he pays taxes, the basic unit is the county or city, and the resident who does not meet the tax limit will in the future classify him as the institution of his employment, the worker is a certain factory, the peasant is a certain place, the rich peasant who has his own land naturally belongs to his own land, and the soldier is the army that serves as an order.

The original policy of restricting Han Chinese in the three eastern provinces will be completely abolished, and due to the huge number of Han Chinese who have lost their land, a large number of immigrants will rush to the three eastern provinces, which will put great pressure on the Russian colonizers in the Heilongjiang River valley.

The government and the opposition generally believed that the Qing Emperor was really taken hostage, otherwise how could it be possible to abolish the privileges of his own nation? The Manchus should be quite dissatisfied, but the soldiers of the Manchu Eight Banners are no longer there, and the Shenji Battalion is all southerners trained in Singapore, so why should the Manchus resist?

Zeng Guofan, the minister of the Han nationality, was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and entered the military aircraft department, and for the first time the Han people had their own palm prints, and was appointed as the minister of the Qin mission, in charge of the national integration policy, the Han nation was all happy to run, and the Manchus were like mourning.

The Qing Dynasty has a huge population of 400 million, and even thermoplastic technology can't make identity cards so fast, so first of all, this kind of identity card is for citizens who need to cross county-level administrative districts, and the citizens of the Qing Dynasty who do not have this need are temporarily left behind. This kind of digital identity card is very useful for managing the flow of people and businessmen, in case there is a wanted criminal or something, as long as the criminal's identity card number is sent to the county-level border management checkpoint through guò radio waves, the criminal is bound to be unable to move an inch. If he had left the main road, perhaps the wanted man would have died in the wilderness without the government's intervention.

Moreover, this method is also very convenient for the Qing court to count the population in the territory, and the number of customs clearances is sent to the central system every once in a while, so that you can know how many people have arrived in which city and county during this time, which can basically get the population status of the region. Cities and counties with large populations must have a large floating population, and if you compare them with cities with detailed numbers, you will probably get the population number of a region, and you don't even need a census.

When the French intelligence reported the recent changes in the Qing Dynasty to the emperor, Napoleon III was puzzled and angrily said: "Where has the blood of the Manchus gone?" Why didn't the Manchus come out to resist this policy? Is Prince Gong and Prince Zhong all eating dry rice? ”

The French foreign minister said: "Now that the Han ministers and the army are rising, the power of the Manchus is not as good as before, the Xiang army is eager for the Manchu and Han to merge, it is impossible to oppose it, this is the most important military force of the Qing Dynasty at present, Beijing is controlled by the Windsor consortium's divine machine, maybe now the Chinese all know well but dare not resist openly, I hope that our NATO can achieve military superiority and give these forces a strong courage." ”

Napoleon III sighed: "I still hope that these Manchus will add some trouble to Tangning, it is too disappointing!" ”

In fact, even Tang Ning was prepared for the worst, the worst was the national chaos, he tried his best to ensure that Beijing and Shanghai were not lost, and it was best not to lose the places that his navy could control in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and then Xu tried to suppress the rebellion. But no one dares to come forward, and the shape is a big good, not a small good, but a big good.
