Chapter 327: The United Kingdom of Southeast Asia
The blitzkrieg, which should have been used by the Germans at the beginning of World War II, was once again perfectly replicated by the Chinese decades in advance. Whether it was the Korean War or the War, the Eastern Expeditionary Corps used all of them to advance rapidly. And the blitzkrieg was unanimously named by all countries in the world, of course, in Wang Lin's heart, he was more inclined to this name.
After these wars in the Far East, the countries of the world have gradually seen clearly the trend of future wars, and the traditional infantry will inevitably be eliminated, and what will follow will be the era of aircraft, artillery, and armored tanks.
These wars in the Far East also set a benchmark for the great powers and became the main direction of their development in the coming decades. Faintly, the Chinese Empire has become a potential navigator for the whole world. Any equipment, tactics, or products launched by the Chinese Empire will inevitably be studied by a large group of countries.
The only way to get out of the current predicament is to keep up with China, and every time they launch a product, they have to have a corresponding product, otherwise they will not be able to resist the pressure from China. This current situation reminds Wang Lin of the situation in later generations. The Americans are studying the tank with great fanfare in front, and behind the ass is a bunch of stupid hats who are also studying in distress.
In the end, the Americans turned around and clapped their hands, Lao Tzu quit, the tank field is already the end here, we don't study it, but start to study fighters, and as a result, a group of countries that have not even mastered tanks have once again led to the field of fighters, and as a result, second-generation fighters, third-generation fighters, and fourth-generation fighters emerge in an endless stream, and those countries that can't afford to study are so anxious that they are stunned.
Today's China is extremely similar to the situation of the United States in later generations, whether it is an airplane or a tank, a rifle or a machine gun, or a cannon, these have now become the objects of imitation in the world, but their workmanship and surname ability are not as good as China's. But this does not prevent them from continuing to imitate, and Wang Lin is even more troubled, in addition to continuing to maintain the leading position in science and technology at any cost, at the same time, he also has to think about when to come up with some other equipment, in order to attract the attention of others. Thus distracting them and directing them down the wrong path.
Only the unlimited consumption of the limited resources of the opponent is the basis for the real lead, if everything has to lead them on the right track, then the Chinese empire will not lose a lot? Such a situation is not what Wang Lin wants.
In the haze, the time has advanced to June, and the weather in the south of June is already extremely hot, so it is better to stay at home, but it is a little unbearable to stay outside. The weather in June is not the hottest time, but the temperature at this time has already exceeded 30 degrees.
When the sun is in the sky, the scorching ocean, the red sun, the ground is about to crack, looking at it in parallel, the eyes seem to be filled with water vapor, standing in the scorching sky, there is an obvious burning feeling.
"Phew!" Li Zi spat viciously, the already hot and dry weather made him feel a lack of water in his body, and now he unconsciously ate some dry soil in his mouth, which was unbearable for a while.
At the time of the Korean War, Li Zi was integrating his troops in the country, and at the time of the war, Li Zi's troops had not yet been integrated, so he naturally could not go to the battlefield. Moreover, Li Zi's troops, Wang Lin never intended to send them to Yuben to fight. Newly recruited troops, regionalization is serious, of course, this is only a small part of the troops. The southerners have adapted to the weather in the south, and if they are pulled into the cold environment of the north for a while, their combat effectiveness will definitely drop with it.
But Wang Lin didn't have much time to adapt to the environment, so in a short period of time, Wang Lin could only divide the troops according to regionalization, most of the recruits from the north joined the Northern Expeditionary Corps, and the recruits from the south joined the Southeast Asian Corps. Li Zi was originally a southerner, and this time, he naturally became a member of the Southeast Asian Army.
Today's Li Zi is no longer the little soldier of the year, he has experienced countless wars, and now Li Zi, through his own efforts, has become a battalion commander, although the official position is not big, but it is better in his hands. Although the promotion is not fast, it is better than the promotion at each level, and it is obtained through their own efforts.
Li Zi, who did not participate in those two wars, was able to continue to be promoted, which already shows his ability. Back then, Li Zi, as a sniper, was sent by the squad leader to protect Xiao Mao and escort intelligence at the most critical moment. In the end, a squad, ten comrades-in-arms, including the squad leader, were separated from each other, and their bodies were separated.
When Li Zi learned the news at that time, his heart suddenly tightened, and tears flowed unconsciously. Although there were already friendly forces that avenged them afterwards, and killed all those involved in the incident, and saw their bodies separated. But just like this, it still can't erase the hatred in Li Zi's heart.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Zi's temper suddenly became irritable in the next few years, of course, if it weren't for Li Zi's temper, the current Li Zi would at least be a big seat. At the level of regiment commander, there is a huge difference between him and the battalion commander. The colonel, and immediately after that, the brigadier brigade commander. That is to say, as long as you become a regimental commander, then there is a high probability that you will be close to a brigadier general, and even a promotion to a general is also possible.
The battalion commander and the regiment commander are a big dividing line, and of course, there are many people who fail to become the regiment commander in the end for various reasons. It is still far from their dream of becoming a general. However, Li Zi doesn't seem to care about these, it doesn't matter how big or small the official position is, the important thing is that as long as he can kill people. Kill all the enemies in front of him, and he didn't have the opportunity to fight side by side with the old squad leader back then, and died on the battlefield.
Today's Li Zi regards all the enemies in front of him as the enemies of the past. Li Zi's reputation as a ruthless person came from this.
A small battle half a year ago made Li Zi's surname change again, and he became more lonely and depressed from then on. Xiao Mao, who was demobilized due to injuries two years ago, died suddenly in an accident half a year ago. Xiao Mao's death was still quite a big blow to Li Zi. An old comrade-in-arms of the class back then, originally only Xiao Mao and him were left, so it can be said that the two of them have relied on each other for all these years. The relationship between the two is also extremely strong.
Those who have never been on the battlefield will never be able to appreciate the feelings that accumulate in war, in life and death. They will never be able to understand what kind of status the word comrade-in-arms has in their hearts. Xiao Mao's death touched Li Zi's last strong nerve.
There were twelve fighters in a class, and after a few years, only Li Zi was left. However, Li Ziyanran did not forget the agreement between him and Xiao Mao back then, one of the two people will inevitably die first, and then the person who dies later must find a way to bury the person who died first next to the old squad leader and old comrades-in-arms. I couldn't accompany them back then, and now I have to stay with them for a long time.
Since Xiao Mao is already a veteran, his accidental death cannot be counted as a martyr, so he cannot enter the martyr's cemetery for burial, and stay with the old squad elders and comrades-in-arms forever. Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The second reason is that Xiao Mao, as a man, is to be entered into the family tree, and when he dies, he will also be buried in the ancestral grave. Xiao Mao's family will never let Li Zi take Xiao Mao's body away no matter what.
In the end, in desperation, Li Zi could only beg his grandfather to sue his grandmother, find his superiors, and trust the relationship everywhere, if nothing else, Li Zi could not break the rules in Xiaomao's family. I just want to be able to leave a place for Xiao Mao in the martyr's cemetery, bury his military uniform in it, and accompany the old squad leader through the rest of the underworld.
In the end, this incident still stumped countless people, and the incident back then can be described as well-known. And that incident also alarmed Wang Lin, and it was the troops sent by Wang Lin himself to avenge them. At that time, they said that they belonged to the blood wolf, but as time passed, the mystery of the blood wolf gradually became less mysterious in the army, and gradually, people also knew that the mysterious army of the year did not belong to the blood wolf at all. Even Ling Yuxuan, the captain of the Blood Wolf Brigade, was very depressed, whether the Blood Wolf Brigade had such a unit or not, others didn't know, didn't he, the captain, know either?
Since Xiao Mao is a retired soldier and does not belong to active duty, he cannot become a martyr. Only genuine soldiers, soldiers who died in battle, and soldiers who were awarded the title of martyrs are eligible to enter the martyrs' cemetery. When it comes to policy issues, ordinary people don't dare to touch these taboos at will.
However, because this matter was personally intervened by Wang Lin back then, no one dared to ignore it, and in the end, the matter reached Wang Lin's ears after a first-level report. The leader's affairs are no trivial matter, and the leader can forget the decisions made by the leader back then, but as a subordinate, he can never forget it. If one day the leader remembers that incident and asks what happened to them in the end, how should these subordinates answer?
In the end, Wang Lin waved his hand and agreed to Xiao Mao's request to enter the martyr's cemetery.
On the day Xiao Mao entered the martyr's cemetery, Li Zi was also at the scene. Standing there looking at the eleven Leng Bingbin's tombstones, tears flowed down unconsciously. Of the twelve people at the beginning, he is now the only one left. Li Zi didn't know when he would be able to accompany his old comrades-in-arms forever, but he knew that those old comrades-in-arms were waiting for him. I have lived so many years longer than them, and I am already very content.
"It's so fucking hot, I don't know how these Vietnamese boys are doing?" Zhao Chen, a company commander under Li Zi, secretly insulted.
The war is over, and now their task is to maintain law and order in the local area, waiting for the formation of a new political axe. I just don't know how long it will take for this new deal to be formed? Anyway, in the hot jungle of Vietnam, they have had enough. I really left my hometown to know the beauty of my hometown. This kind of life is not human, he can't stay for a day, but as everyone knows, on the other side of the ocean, there is even hotter weather waiting for them, and the weather in Vietnam is relatively good at the moment.
"Okay, don't be nervous, I heard that there were some problems in the above negotiations, probably because of what demands we put forward that are difficult for them to accept, and the two sides seem to have some intention of stalemate." Li Zi gently patted his subordinate generals and said comfortingly.
"What? He is a small Vietnamese boy, dare to stalemate with us? They're too bold, aren't they? And don't look at what they are like now? How dare you fight us? Aren't you afraid of angering us, and we will burn their whole country with fire? Zhao Chen looked surprised and replied with a shocked face.
To be honest, Vietnam is deadlocked with China on the issue of negotiations, and he really never thought about it, and he dared to argue with the Chinese on Vietnam's strength? It's just that I'm impatient, and even the whole country is occupied, and I still think about putting forward conditions. Who are these people?
"Hehe, in fact, this is not to blame the Vietnamese, this negotiation seems to have been implemented by the emperor in order to cater to our Commander Chen's plan. It seems that he heard that the emperor plans to follow Commander Chen to merge the entire Southeast Asian region into one country, and the original country will be renamed various provinces. Li Ziwei smiled and said immediately.
Such a request is indeed a bit impersonal. Anyway, it's a country where people have lived all their lives, and it's a bit awkward to say that it's gone, and it's going to merge with other countries into one country. But there is no way, these things are not something they can call the shots, Wang Lin insists on this, at most they will just talk about it below, and it is impossible to have specific actions.
Otherwise, what else would you want? Armed insurrection? Or don't pull it, even the British and French can't beat the little troops, now there are so many Chinese, how can they fight? Isn't it up to one to die and one to die, and two to die a pair?
"Is that really what it means? Won't we be little brothers all over the world from now on? Big brother everywhere you go? Zhao Chen's heart shook slightly.
The above is really a big deal, and a simple sentence will change the fate of these countries, and their country will be destroyed in an instant, and with it, a new regime will follow. In this, there will be no more infighting, and the Chinese will just happen to be able to profit from it. Not only can you get all their resources, but you can even use it to restrain their energy, so that they can fall into the struggle for power without limit, and have no intention of turning over.
In this way, the Chinese will really make a lot of money. The situation of being humiliated for so many years has been broken in an instant, which is really making people want to die, yesterday it was a little person who could be bullied by everyone, and today he has become a person admired by everyone. This kind of psychological change is even more difficult for people to accept for a while.
"It's true that my little brother is all over the world, but we can't get carried away. Back then, we were not the same as the world? But then we gradually liked the feeling of dominating the world, and slowly lost our vigilance, letting others come from behind, until we were left behind. This kind of tragedy must not happen to our generation, no matter what, all of this today is all down by us step by step. Li Zi sighed and said helplessly.
The first generation of people laid down the world and knew how this world came about, and naturally cherished it very much, but those who came after them lived in touting since they were children, and they didn't know how all this came about today. They only know how to enjoy the happiness brought to them by their predecessors, but they will never realize that their ancestors who gave their lives forever.
No matter which dynasty it is, the founding emperor and the second emperor will always be the most diligent and most considerate emperor of this dynasty. It's just that they are all in a state of starting from scratch, and they know that it is not easy to fight the country, so they will naturally not bury the country they have laid with their own hands.
Of course, the Qin dynasty was an exception. The Qin Dynasty belongs to the cross-era reform, because there is no experience, for a time unified the six countries, became the first emperor, the first emperor in Chinese history, for the psychological impact, naturally will not be small. Therefore, the end of the Qin Dynasty is also an inevitable product. No one can say that the Qin Dynasty is not, if there is no Qin Dynasty and a Han Dynasty comes directly, then it is certain that the result of the Han Dynasty is the same as that of the Qin Dynasty.
It can be said that this is the inevitability of history, no matter which dynasty, there must always be a dynasty that will go through this. No one is immune, and no one can hide from it.
After about half a month of tug-of-war negotiations, the negotiations finally reached a final conclusion. Under China's bluffing, intimidating and flickering negotiations, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Burma finally agreed to the demands of the Chinese Empire. The five countries were merged into the Central United Kingdom of South-East Asia. It became the first United Kingdom under the Chinese umbrella and the only Chinese United Kingdom in the world.
It's just that this news has been announced to the world, and the most shocking people are not the European and American powers, nor the poor households in Africa, but the Chinese people. What kind of concept is this? Before the empire was still nothing, in the blink of an eye, there was the Chinese Kingdom of Korea, and the people had not yet taken a breath, and there was another Chinese kingdom, which was now just adapted to the existence of these two Chinese countries, but suddenly a Chinese United Kingdom of Southeast Asia appeared.
As soon as the name sounded it, it was known that it was the United Kingdom, which was formed by several international groups, and the people were shocked and surprised.
