Chapter 450: Greater China Co-Prosperity Circle (Final Chapter)
Chapter 45o Greater China Co-Prosperity Circle
In the twenty-ninth year of Shenwu, the Second Crusade, which lasted for more than ten years, entered the most critical moment. Read on your phone, update it synchronously! {.'}
On the European side, the combined forces of the Duchy of Prussia and the Duchy of Austria under the Holy Roman Empire made a detour from the Husk Mountains in the northwest to the Arad area behind the Ottoman fortress of Huel, and unexpectedly cut off the supply routes of the Ottoman Empire.
The supply line was cut off, and the more than 60,000 Ottoman ** troops in the fortress of Huel were besieged. Although the fortress of Huel was the largest star fortress in Europe in the Ottoman Empire and had not been conquered by Europeans for hundreds of years, it was only a matter of time before it fell once supplies were cut off.
The survival of the Ottoman Empire depends on whether the fortress of Huel can hold on, but the Ottoman Empire organized many counterattacks but failed, in addition to the improper command of the Ottoman Empire, the biggest reason is the internal fighting of the Ottoman Empire.
After the death of Nock III, the Ottoman regime fell into the hands of relatives in the harem. The young emperor was unable to take power, and the previous generation of important ministers were unwilling to be taken away by their relatives, and the cruel infighting that lasted for more than ten years broke out.
The Chinese Empire wavered in the Ottoman Empire's internal strife, supporting the government of foreign relatives today and the Ottoman clique of important ministers tomorrow, with the result that the forces of both sides were unable to eliminate the other, and this brutal struggle for power lasted for more than a decade.
As the prince grew up, the clan gradually lost power, and the clan suffered repeated defeats in the Holy War (Second Crusade), which led to a great distrust of the government. Therefore, the emperor's call for pro-government to seize power rose again, leading to the most brutal period of the power struggle between the two sides.
The Chinese Empire's strategy at the Ottomans was to weaken it as much as possible, but not to destroy it. Because after the destruction of the Ottoman Empire, the huge oil resources in the Middle East will face competition from Europe and Tsarist Russia.
The Ottoman Empire was both a potential enemy and a shield for the Chinese Empire, so the Cabinet of the Chinese Empire chose to support the Ottoman Emperor Mehmed IV in the ninth collective vote.
The Chinese Empire was the most powerful both economically and militarily, and after Muhammad received a large military loan of 30 million silver dollars from the Chinese Empire, his strength skyrocketed, and he quickly pressed the foreign relatives to regain power.
Of course, Mehmed IV also paid a considerable price, because the help of the Chinese Empire was not free.
In compensation, Mehmed IV ordered the Turkish army in the Arabian Peninsula to adopt a policy of non-resistance, withdraw all to Urfa, and surrender millions of square kilometers of land south of the Urfa River to the Chinese Empire. At the same time, the Ottoman Navy withdrew from the Aegean Sea and retreated to the Black Sea to prevent an encounter with the Mediterranean Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy.
In February of the 29th year of Shenwu, the Chinese Empire sent troops from West Asia into Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. The three vassal states in the region lost the protection of the Ottoman Empire and did not dare to go to war with the Chinese Empire again.
In March, the West Asia Dispatch Command of the Chinese Empire instigated the formal establishment of the three countries of Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, and seceded from the Ottoman Empire to join the Greater China Co-Prosperity Circle and became a vassal state of the Chinese Empire.
The main reason why the Chinese Empire did not turn these three countries into colonies was that the Chinese Empire wanted to establish a strategic buffer zone with the European Union on the Mediterranean coast to prevent European countries from joining forces against the Chinese Empire.
The Ottoman Emperor Mehmed IV also acquiesced in the military control of the three Ottoman vassal states of Syria, Lebanon and Jordan by the Western Asian Empire, and renounced the suzerainty of the three countries.
After instigating the independence of Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, the Chinese Empire secretly reached an armistice with Muhammad IV. Because the most important target of the Chinese Empire at the moment was not the Ottoman Empire, but the Bos Empire in eastern Syria.
The Bos Empire has been working against the Chinese Empire for the past ten years, and the forty-third son of the Chinese Empire Emperor Deng Haonan, Prince Bos, has reached adulthood, and according to the regulations of the Chinese Imperial Prince's division of overseas vassal states, Prince Bos will return to the Bos Empire to succeed the Bos Emperor as the next Bos King.
However, Emperor Bos obviously did not buy it, and has always refused the "illegal edict" of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, refusing to allow his grandson to return to Bos. Relations between China and Bobo have become extremely tense.
For this reason, the General Staff of the Chinese Empire formulated a plan to destroy Bos, and according to the great detour strategy proposed by the Shenwu Emperor Deng Haonan, the Chinese Empire sent troops from West Asia to cross the border from Syria and blitzkrieg Baghdad. The South Asian Dispatch Army of the Chinese Empire will launch a large-scale attack on the Boss in the eastern Mughal colonies, contain the main force of the Boss army, and create fighters for the West Asian Dispatch Army.
Based on this great roundabout strategy, the Chinese Empire stopped its offensive against the Ottoman Empire militarily and withdrew from the Second Crusade battle sequence. At the same time, in order to prevent the Ottoman Empire from backing on helping the Bos Empire, the Chinese Empire had to financially support Mehmed IV.
Mehmed IV, having received the full support of the Chinese Empire, did not first provide military support. Leaving the fortress of Huel to the rescue did not help, but mobilized a large army to start a civil war.
It turned out that although the group of relatives had lost its central power, there were still quite a few armed forces in the local and near Constantinople. Muhammad IV may have been treated for a long time, and he swore not to give up until he killed all his relatives, and he mobilized an army of more than 100,000 to carry out a purge of his relatives, and even his grandfather was sent to the gallows.
The Great Purge resulted in a large number of Ottoman officers being secretly executed, causing more than a dozen changes of commanders on the Huel front, and the loss of a large number of fighters and money for no reason.
The Chinese Empire repeatedly warned Muhammad IV to stop fighting and to quickly open up the supply routes of the fortress of Huel. But Muhammad IV did not listen at all, insisted on going his own way, and continued to massacre the opposition forces in the country.
In early April, as the cold air over West Asia quietly left, the spring offensive of the Russian Empire, which had ended its hibernation, began again.
Because Mehmed IV underestimated the time of hibernation in the Russian Empire, the troops drawn from the northern Black Sea region for the civil war were not able to return in time, and all the areas north of the Black Sea fell into the hands of the Russian Empire.
In order to completely open up the Black Sea outlet, Tsarist Russia mobilized 600,000 troops to fight for more than 20 years, and finally realized its wish.
When the tsar learned that the Russian army had opened the mouth of the Black Sea, he celebrated for several days.
Tsarist Russia gained access to the sea and built a shipyard in the Maga region on the northern shore of the Black Sea, which became known as the Nicholas Shipyard.
The Russian army built warships at the Nicholas shipyard, formed the Russian Black Sea Fleet, and prepared to attack Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and then open the Aegean Sea into the Mediterranean, so that it could really enter the ocean.
To this end, the Russian army did not stop, and transferred the mobile Cossack Rangers regiment from the Sino-Russian border to the southern front as a sharp knife force that quickly attacked the Ottoman Empire.
The Russian army was overwhelmed all the way, and large swathes of the Ottoman Empire fell, finally waking up Mehmed IV.
As a result, Mehmed IV abandoned his plan to continue the massacre of the opposition, urgently assembled his army, and marched north to stop the Russian army.
Perhaps God's strength, the Russian army's spring offensive was suddenly attacked by the Black Sea maritime climate, and the rainy season, which was supposed to be in early May, began in late April.
The arrival of the rainy season caused the roads to be rugged and difficult to walk, the heavy siege artillery of the Russian army could not reach the front line, and the old muskets failed in the rain.
The rainy season brought a turning point to Mehmed IV, and after the Ottoman Emperor temporarily lost the pressure of the Chinese Empire in the south and the threat of the Russian Empire in the north, he concentrated his main forces to attack the Prussian and Austrian forces, and after five days and nights of fighting, finally reopened the supply route of the fortress of Huel, and blocked the mountains of Husk to prevent the enemy from making a detour again.
In this way, the fortress of Huel was restored, and the Prussian and Austrian forces saw that the frontal attack on the fortress of Huel was too bad, and the Turks had only the strength to defend and not the ability to counterattack, so the Second Crusade ended with Prussia and Austria being the first to give up.
Although the Russian Empire did not continue southward, it had already occupied large swathes of Turkish territory and, most importantly, opened up access to the Black Sea. Tsarist Russia was ready to make a big deal in the Black Sea, but the Black Sea Fleet could not be formed in a moment, and the perennial campaign against Tsarist Russia was also exhausted, so the tunnel gave up the attack.
However, in the eyes of the Ottoman Empire, the enemy in the east could not get past the strong fortifications, so there was no need to worry too much, but the Tsarist Russia in the north had strong rangers who could go straight in at any time once the rainy season was over. Therefore, Mehmed IV did not cease the war, but continued to attack north, intending to expel Tsarist Russia from the Black Sea.
Although Tsarist Russia had cavalry superiority on land, the Turkish Empire had maritime superiority in the Black Sea, and the two sides were evenly matched, neither could get the advantage, and both sides were defeated, so the Russian-Turkish war lasted for centuries.
With the end of the Second Crusade, all European countries, whether victorious or defeated, were greatly demoralized, and the tunnels withdrew their troops one after another to recuperate, and many years of war in Europe came to an end.
However, the Chinese Empire, the most powerful country in the world, did not stop the pace of war. As the world's only major power, the Chinese Empire's twenty years of colonial plunder brought it enormous wealth. Although most of this money was used for domestic construction, it still caused the Chinese Empire to have a financial surplus of more than 60 million silver dollars per year, which did not include the emperor's personal wealth and the war reserve of the imperial treasury, which was only the money left over by the imperial treasury every year.
Under the strong supervision of the Imperial Metropolitan Procuratorate, the National Prosecutor's Office, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption, it was difficult for politicians to fight the idea of such a huge amount of money, but it could not be put in the Ministry of Finance, let alone directly to the people, because that would cause inflation, so the politicians of the empire had to use war to digest this money.
War can make all kinds of machinery up and down the empire work, increase the production capacity of private industry and commerce, and thus digest this money and transform it into national wealth.
However, the Chinese Empire at this moment, like the United States in later generations, has no rivals in the whole world. It has become a difficult problem for the Chinese Empire to want war, just as the United States always has to impose a reason on the other side for war, and the Chinese Empire is also looking for reasons to go to war everywhere at this moment. As the superior state of the Celestial Empire, the imperial image of the Chinese Empire has become the most important issue, and people all over the world cannot be allowed to say that the Chinese Empire is bullying the small with the big.
To this end, after several years of painstaking research, the Cabinet and the House of Commons of the Chinese Empire finally found a reason to bully people, that is, to promote Chinese culture around the world, so that all countries can accept the worldview, outlook on life and values of the Chinese Empire, and create a Greater China Co-prosperity Circle in the world.
If that country rejects Chinese culture, then it will be retaliated against by the Chinese Empire and its allies, which is the reason for war.
The Chinese Empire acts as the world's policeman and the world's leading official, and the order of the whole world is formulated and constrained by the Chinese Empire, which is the ultimate goal of Shenwu Emperor Deng Haonan.
And Deng Haonan's purpose was finally realized in the 30th year of Shenwu.
In May of the 30th year of Shenwu, the Chinese Empire sent troops from West Asia across the Syrian border to suddenly attack Baghdad, the capital of the Boss Empire, and then occupied the west coast of Boss Bay. Subsequently, the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Empire sailed into the Bos Bay and attacked the Boss Navy.
The BOS Navy was defeated by the Imperial Chinese Navy and was forced to retreat to the military port. The Chinese Empire advanced by land, sea and air forces and occupied Abadan seven days later. The Bos Navy was completely annihilated by the enemy on its back.
Three days later, the Imperial Chinese Navy shelled the major cities along the Gulf of Bos, and under the cover of the navy, the Royal Army advanced rapidly, and seven days later occupied Bostus Isfahan. King Bos was unwilling to accept the proposal of the Chinese Empire for a Greater China Co-Prosperity Sphere even to death, and caused fire and self-harm.
In retaliation for King Bos's decision, the Imperial Chinese Army carried out a six-month ransack of the ancient Babylonian cities of Baghdad and Isfahan, plundering countless gold and silver treasures.
When the 43rd Prince of Bos, the 43rd Prince of the Chinese Empire, Dungela Fahan, arrived in Isfahan to take up the throne of Bos, the whole was in ruins, and ancient Babylonian culture was wiped off the face of the earth.
In the end, Dungeis Fahan ascended the throne as King of Bos in Kuwait City, and announced that Bos would join the Greater China Co-Prosperity Circle and become a member of the Empire of the Federation of Great China.
After the end of the Gulf War, the Greater China Co-Prosperity Sphere has included three-quarters of the world, although European countries tried their best to resist the invasion of Chinese culture, but because Britain has long become a vassal of the Chinese Empire, the Chinese imperial culture began to invade Europe rapidly from Britain, and since then, Chinese culture has always influenced the people of the earth. On the planet, Chinese has become the international common language, and in the Greater China Co-prosperity Circle, it has become the official language and even the mother tongue of all countries.
The Chinese Empire became the maker and enforcer of the laws of the earth for hundreds of years, until the establishment of the future world government.
On June 24, the 33rd year of Shenwu, the imperial garden in the western suburbs of Beijing was lit up, and Deng Haonan, the emperor of Shenwu, ushered in his 60th birthday.
On this day, Deng Haonan announced that he would take the initiative to give the throne to the eldest prince and retire to the royal garden to spend his old age.
In the more than 30 years that Deng Haonan has been in power, he has built the entire empire into an extremely powerful one. As a traverser, Deng Haonan has completed his mission. However, as a father and husband, Tang Haonan also paved a way for his descendants to live forever.
The constitutional monarchy laid a solid foundation in the Tang Haonan era, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, Tang Haonan also supported the cabinet and parliament behind the scenes to limit the imperial power, so that the new emperor could not abuse his power, and formed a series of rules.
These rules will bind the emperors of the past dynasties, and Deng Haonan also established the royal family law, which had the deterrent effect of the constitution for the emperors of the previous dynasties, forcing Deng Haonan's descendants to be unable to implement the ** of the country, and thus laid a solid foundation for the eternal existence of the Deng Empire.
Deng Haonan set up a constitutional monarchy only to protect the glory and wealth of Deng's descendants, for the country, Deng Haonan grafted the separation of powers perfectly, so that even if there are ambitious politicians in the future, he will not be able to implement **, so as to ensure that the internal affairs of the Chinese Empire are clear and long-term.
On his 60th birthday, Deng Haonan let go of all the burdens in his heart and accepted the blessings of his children and grandchildren.
Hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren, Deng Haonan did it, from being alone when he came, to now having a full house of children and grandchildren, Deng Haonan feels that he is the happiest person in the world.
However, there is also a trace of regret in his heart.
Among the women Deng Haonan knows, Chen Yuanyuan is undoubtedly the most beautiful. However, Chen Yuanyuan wants to be the queen, but Deng Haonan can't give it to her, because in Deng Haonan's heart, the queen can only be his wife Yang Wanshu.
Although Yang Wanshu was blushing and died in childbirth when she gave birth to Deng Haonan's ninth child, Deng Haonan has always kept the position of the queen and will not give it to anyone.
Being a queen is Chen Yuanyuan's dream, and every woman wants to be it, which is understandable. However, Deng Haonan refused one after another, and finally Chen Yuanyuan was angry and left the palace with the newborn little prince, and never stepped into the royal family again.
At this time, the internal guard came in to report.
"Emperor Qiyu, I have found the whereabouts of Concubine Jin and the ninety-third prince"
When Deng Haonan heard this, he immediately asked happily: "How is it?" Their mother and son are all right."
The inner guard replied: "Concubine Jin and the ninety-third prince are all fine, Concubine Jin has the waist card of the emperor in her hand, so no one dares to bully them."
Deng Haonan felt a little relieved, and the internal guard said: "However, Concubine Jin changed the name of the ninety-third prince"
Deng Haonan's face suddenly darkened, and he asked, "How can you change your name with this reason?" ”
The internal guard said weakly: "It's called Chen Jinnan"
cough~ Deng Haonan coughed lightly. Jin is Concubine Jin refers to Chen Yuanyuan, Nan is Deng Haonan's Nan, it seems that Chen Yuanyuan named his son and missed Deng Haonan, which made Deng Haonan's anger disappear. It's just that Deng Haonan only felt that the name Chen Jinnan seemed to have heard it somewhere, and he couldn't remember it for a while.
"And where are they? Send someone to bring them back."
Neiwei said: "In Suzhou, Concubine Jin's mother and son are with Zhu Yujiao, and recently Zhu Yuanjiao relied on the soft-heartedness of the Emperor Taishang, and established a terrorist organization, called Tiandihui." It is said that Zhu Yujiao and Concubine Jin have already discussed, and the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society will let the ninety-third prince come to sit."
Deng Haonan coughed violently, almost out of breath.
"What? Heaven and Earth Meeting? Chen Jinnan (Chen Jinnan)? I'm going to ......."
