Chapter 917 Timeline (3)
Chapter 917
The Third World War is a bit similar to Chen Xie's World War II in the original time and space, because of internal problems, the Ming Dynasty fought the two world wars, and the fighting spirit was not as good as before. Although he is still the boss of the world, his attitude is not as tough as before. European countries, on the other hand, have been working hard to develop and strive for shame.
Tactics also changed, with the new forces Germany as the leader, France, Russia, and Britain as auxiliaries, and other European countries coming together to fight against the Ming Dynasty. The use of armored assault tactics by European countries is, in Chen Xie's view, a copy of German tactics in World War II. As an old empire, the Ming Dynasty is relatively conservative in tactics and is still immersed in the experience and glory of the past.
In the first year of the outbreak of the world war, the Ming Dynasty suffered a lot in Africa and lost a large part of North Africa in succession. If it weren't for the strong enough Mediterranean fleet and the existence of the Suez Canal, Egypt would not have been able to hold it. On the battlefield of Ming and Russia, the strong defense line built by the Ming Dynasty collapsed in the face of the mechanized assault of the Russian and German coalition forces. The north had to retreat to Vladivostok, to the west lost half of Central Asia, and the high-acceleration theater retreated to Turkish territory.
Seeing that Daming was about to suffer an unprecedented fiasco, at a critical moment, the Ming cabinet was in turmoil. Chen Xie's descendant, the eighth-generation great-grandson Chen Hao, made a brilliant debut, and after the resignation of the previous cabinet, Chen Hao was appointed to form a new cabinet. After the Prime Minister's Ming cabinet, Chen Hao ordered the whole country to enter the war system. Before that, the Ming Dynasty, even if it fought so badly, had never entered the war system. The specific reason is that interests are at work, and the consortium and family within the Ming Dynasty have become the cancer of the Ming Dynasty. For the sake of the family's interests, these people have done a lot of traitorous things behind their backs.
After entering the war system, Chen Xie launched an alliance-wide storm against those consortia and families that had betrayed the interests of the Ming Dynasty. There was a big purge. Obviously there was a world war, and the people at that time still engaged in this, people at that time did not understand. But it turned out that Chen Hao was right, and he must first settle down inside. A purge lasted more than a year, and at the same time, the Ming Dynasty's well-developed mobilization system played a huge role. On the one hand, Chen Hao demanded that the front line maintain the current battle situation. On the one hand, new mechanized units were formed. Half a year after entering the war system, the Ming Dynasty once again burst out with the war potential of global shock.
In terms of the navy, there are 16 aircraft carriers that lay down their keels at the same time, with an annual output of 40,000 tanks and 60,000 aircraft. Chen Xie's descendants once again became the mainstay of the Ming Empire Alliance in this war. More than half of the output of the Ming military industry comes from the industries of the descendants of the Chen family in various places.
The Chen family, known as the first family of the Ming Dynasty, not only served as the main force of military production in this world war. On the battlefield, there were as many as 538 descendants who died in battle. To Chen Xie's relief, the bravery of these descendants on the battlefield once again aroused people's nostalgia for Chen Xiang. One of the most typical examples is when Chen Xiao, the commander of the Flying Eagle Legion, commanded 100,000 Flying Eagle warriors to launch a counterattack on the battlefield of Ming Russia. Like a sharp knife, it cut through the strongest line of defense of the Russian-German army. And within the next eight years. The Flying Eagle Legion was invincible on the battlefield and was the first to storm Moscow. Chen Xiao himself, due to overwork, died of illness on the final battlefield a month before the end of the war.
The Third World War lasted for eight years, and the total number of the three armies of the Ming Dynasty reached 60 million at its peak. The long world war. In the end, there are no winners. In August 1938, the Ming Empire took the lead in exploding the first mushroom bomb, and only three days later, Germany, France, and Russia jointly exploded the mushroom bomb.
After this thing appeared. War is like a rooster being choked by the neck, and no one knows how many mushroom bullets the opponent is pinching. You can't defend against it, it's so powerful that it doesn't even need any precision bombing, and one can destroy a city. This is really not a joke, although the Ming Dynasty will not be hit by mushroom bullets, but what about the soldiers ahead? Who can guarantee absolute air supremacy at all times? Even if Da Ming's technology is indeed a lot ahead, if someone throws a mushroom bomb, it will be the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Because of his own black technology, the mushroom bomb was born ahead of schedule, which was something Chen Xie never expected. Because of the mushroom bomb, everyone had to sit down and negotiate. Don't think about compensation or anything, everyone has mushroom bombs, and they can only slap each other's tables. At this time of the war, in fact, the Ming Dynasty had already gained the upper hand, defending Egypt and Egypt in Africa, and launched a counterattack to recapture South Africa. In the Caucasus, having recaptured Persia and, having broken through the Kazan line, the main force went north and entered Moscow. The two armies fought in the city for two years in street fighting alone. Five million soldiers of the two armies were laid to rest here, creating the famous "Moscow Cemetery".
In this battlefield, the German army also lost nearly a million casualties, 500,000 French troops, 300,000 British troops, and the rest of the European countries participating in the war were all below 100,000. All in all, the street fighting in Moscow became the most tragic battle of the Third World War. The two sides have been in this city for two years. If it weren't for the appearance of the mushroom bomb, the European coalition might not have lasted two years and would have collapsed, but their luck was that the mushroom bomb came too timely. Although the Ming Dynasty took the lead, the Europeans were not slow.
Negotiation is still more than a fist, but European countries are almost unable to resist, and the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, so their attitude is extremely tough. But what you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiating table. There was a truce between the two sides, but it did not mean peace. There was no big decisive battle, but there were small battles, and they talked about it for a year one after another, and finally something happened that no one expected. Premier Chen Hao, known as "Little Chen Xie", announced his visit to Europe in a high-profile manner. And the name of this trip is "Journey to Peace". Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or Europe, the wounds caused by the war are too serious. The situation in Daming is a little better, after all, the place is large, the population is large, and the resources are also large. The situation in Europe is a bit bad, even if you don't grab much territory, Russia has lost half of Moscow.
Chen Hao's trip to Europe is known as the leader of the bright road by later generations. The Third World War was started by Europe, and as a passive side, the Prime Minister put aside his preconceptions and visited major European countries to meet closely with the heads of state.
A month later, the negotiations in neutral Switzerland finally came to fruition, and the Ming and European media announced at the same time that the war was over. This time it really ended, the troops of the Ming were withdrawn from the Moscow cemetery, from Persia, and the European troops were withdrawn from southern Africa. Eventually, peace was restored to the world, and the Ming Dynasty withdrew completely from Europe, retaining only Egypt and parts of southern Africa in Africa. In the Americas, the Ming Dynasty has fully contracted to North America. The world's spheres of influence were reshuffled, and European countries gained most of Africa, gained a small half of America, and then divided the spoils behind closed doors. Soon relations between the countries fell sharply because of the unequal distribution of spoils.
On the other hand, after the end of the war, the economy also entered a period of recession, and a large number of enterprises either closed or changed production. Fortunately, at this time, European countries were still competing for interests, and the challenge to Daming was only from within.
At the initiative of Chen Hao, world leaders held a meeting in Zurich, Switzerland, and announced the establishment of the United Nations. Ming, Germany, Britain, France, and Russia are the permanent members of the Security Council, of which Ming has one veto power, and once the other four countries reach an agreement, they will veto it with four votes.
The post-war world has opened a period of rapid peace and development, and contradictions between countries are no longer resolved by force at every turn. Of course, all over the world, the war has never stopped. In Central and South America, European countries fought against local national independents for colonies, and within the Ming Empire, similar wars broke out. After the world war in this time and space, there was no so-called worldwide national independence, because it was suppressed by imperialism. In this timeline, the bearded man in Germany did not come up with his revolutionary theory, but became a reformist. The idea put forward was not revolutionary overthrow, but reform from within. Why, exactly, probably because Europe has not become the dominant part of the world, the Ming Dynasty has been pressing Europe very uncomfortable, and the bearded man's mind is not on this. For the sake of European interests, the bearded man traveled around the world several times, connecting European countries, and first put forward the concept of European integration.
After the end of the world war, all countries in the world have reflected, and the heavy subject of war has become an enduring topic in literary and artistic works. The two opposing groups have both created a large number of related works. Both reflect on the trauma that the world war has inflicted on the planet, with the difference being that Europe has praised Chen Hao as the greatest figure in 500 years.
On the contrary, within the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xie is still put in the first place, and Chen Hao is just "little Chen Xie". Even if he lived to be ninety-nine years old, when people mentioned him, he was still "Little Chen Xie". There is both opposition and cooperation between the two large groups, and the ultimate winner is time. In 1945, Daming launched the first artificial satellite, and the results of the explosion of the second generation of mushroom bombs, the following year, Europe has broken through these two fields. Between 1970 and 1975, a series of agreements were signed between the two huge groups. The two sides continue to build mutual trust and improve their relations, and the era of global trade has arrived.
In 1980, the first Internet of this time and space appeared in Daming, and then spread to the whole world like a plague. In 1990, the concept of a global village was first proposed. (To be continued.) )
