Chapter 1284: Vertical and Horizontal

When Yang Hua learned that Wang Yuze handed over this case to a military court for trial, the whole person seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. He knew that on this issue, Wang Yuze was not going to compromise! Originally, military courts were only special tribunals for military crimes, but during the war, they could try any case that had anything to do with the military. If it is a civil court, Yang Hua may be able to rely on his face to greet the judges of the court and strive for a lighter sentence. However, after the military court took over, he didn't have the ability to do it, and he didn't dare to do it! Once he dares to intervene, the entire Yang family will probably suffer a fatal blow. Fold the entire Yang family into it for the sake of a waste-like son, this is absolutely impossible!

For such a case with conclusive evidence, the military court completed the trial in just one day, and the five businessmen of Jinling were all sentenced to death for treason! Causing a large number of military casualties during the war, what is this not treason? Their family property will also be confiscated, although their mouths and their families, but after the confiscation of property, their families will not starve to death, but if they want to have fine clothes and food, it is almost impossible! Although Yang Hong is the son of the former prime minister and the emperor's brother-in-law, he also failed to escape punishment! Although Yang Hong was deceived by those businessmen, he also obtained huge profits in this matter, and caused a large number of military deaths and injuries, and was also sentenced to death. As for the deputy director of the logistics department and the other officers, except for two lieutenant-level officers who were dismissed from the military and sentenced to life imprisonment, the rest were also sentenced to death! After the trial, the execution will be carried out the next day, and no one will be given a chance at all!

When the gunshots rang out at the execution ground, it was over! These moths that endanger the emperor's ** people have all been duly punished! It's just that the soldiers who were killed by them can't be resurrected!

Such a decisive action by the Emperor Wang Yuze caused the shock of those wealthy families. There were many companies engaged in the production of munitions, and they thought that they would make a lot of money by supplying the army during the war, but they did not expect that if they followed the wrong path, this would happen. Even the emperor's brother-in-law has eaten peanuts, not to mention other people! Therefore, some people who had been careful in the first place were honest all of a sudden, and they carried out the strictest inspection of the goods supplied by the army to ensure that the goods sold to the army were the best! Although this will make their profits very low, the most important thing is to save their heads at this time. Otherwise, even if you make money, if you don't have a life to spend, wouldn't it be for nothing? It can be said that Wang Yuze's action of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys this time has achieved excellent results!

The only bad thing is probably that I completely offended my father-in-law's family! On the day of the execution, Yang Hua left Běijīng with his family and returned to his hometown in Sichuan.

Those sons and daughters of officials have also resigned one after another. The Yang family was hit hard this time, and the whole běijīng became a laughing stock, they couldn't stay in běijīng anymore, so it was better to go back to their hometown! Let all the children resign, this also has the meaning of Yang Hua and Wang Yuze's anger. However, Wang Yuze doesn't care at all, as long as it is beneficial to the empire, even if he offends many people, he will not hesitate to do it! The empire is the empire of all citizens, not of any one family! Once the bottom line is violated, Wang Yuze will never be spared!

What gave Wang Yuze a headache was probably only the noble concubine Yang Shilan, who was becoming more and more cold to him! My brother was shot, can we still expect her to greet him with a smile? Although Wang Yuze felt that he was doing the right thing, he still felt a little indebted in the face of Yang Shilan. However, Wang Yuze knows that after she figures it out after a while, there will be no problem!

The other big families in the empire were also very shocked! Originally, I thought that after Wang Yuze became the emperor, his temper would not be so short-tempered! But now he didn't hesitate to shoot his brother-in-law, and he couldn't help but make those gentlemen who usually do evil things frightened, and they all hid in the house with their tails between their legs, and they didn't dare to cause trouble everywhere!

In terms of the army, this purge also made those generals afraid and didn't dare to use their brains! The generals of the various group armies on the front line were all sued, and Wang Yuze did not deal with them because this big battle was imminent, but if their performance in this battle made Wang Yuze dissatisfied, then they would be punished for both crimes at that time, and they would be miserable! Therefore, although the launch of the attack was delayed, the morale of the front line was even stronger! With a large number of additional troops arriving at the front, the divisions regained their previous combat effectiveness and waited for the General Staff to give the order to attack!

While China was preparing to launch an attack on Russia, Germany had already launched an attack on the Anglo-French forces! More than two million Jīng sharp French troops split into three routes, against the Anglo-French Union! There was a fierce attack! For this offensive, the Germans can be regarded as generals! All the old books have been put into it, and thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, as well as thousands of aircraft, which have been accumulated with great difficulty, have also been put into the battlefield!

The Anglo-French forces actively had more than 3 million troops, and they also knew that this time the German attack was not trivial, and if they could not resist it, they would completely lose this war! Therefore, the British and French forces also fought very resolutely! However, in the face of the attack of the Jīng Rui German army, coupled with the use of a large number of new weapons by the German army, the British and French forces fought very hard, and their defense line was constantly broken through by the German armored forces, and suffered heavy losses.

As a result, the Anglo-French forces had to retreat, while the Germans attacked step by step, and their target would be Paris, the capital of France! Kaiser Wilhelm II and the German ministers were convinced that if they could capture Paris this time, the French would not have the confidence to continue the battle! Once the French retreated, would the British be able to hold out on their own? When the time comes, Germany will have a brilliant victory! Germany's current strategy is to first solve the Anglo-French alliance, after capturing France, and then mobilize the main force to attack the east, and seize the territory of Eastern Europe with China as much as possible! You know, when the main forces of Russia are dragged by the Chinese, they will be able to seize the rich Eastern European Plain without much effort!

In southeastern Europe, to the south was the focus of contention between Austria-Hungary and Russia, and Germany was also very interested in this region. But for China, the investment here is a bit weak! The great power in Southeast Europe is the Ottoman Turkish Empire! It's just that the current Ottoman Turkish Empire no longer has the shadow of the powerful empire that spanned Asia, Europe and Africa! A large amount of territory was first occupied by the Western world, and now by China. The influence of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was already only in the vicinity of the peninsula of Asia Minor! Of course, even so, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was the most powerful empire in the region! You know, the Ottoman Turkish Empire and Russia fought ten wars in more than 200 years! Although the Ottoman Empire lost many victories and lost a lot of territory, it was able to withstand the Russian attack, which shows the strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

The Ottoman Empire had close relations with Germany, and after the war began, Germany invited the Ottoman Empire to join the Central Powers in fighting against the Entente, but the war situation was unclear at that time, and the Allies did not have any advantage. And the situation in the Ottoman Turkish Empire was not consoling, the Turkish Al-Shabaab had just gained power, and Sultan Mehmed V had just succeeded to the throne not long after, so he refused the invitation of Germany and remained neutral! However, with the continuous victories of the Allies and China, the old rival of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Russia, was also in a very short predicament at this time, and the position of the Ottoman Turkish Empire seemed to have changed, and it only took an opportunity for them to join the Central Powers and declare war on the Entente!

At this time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was no longer in its former glory, but it was still a large country with a population of 20 million. After the start of the World War, the Ottoman Empire also began to expand its army, although the navy was weak and the air force was almost empty, but the army expanded to a million people! If the Ottoman Turkish army could attack Russia from the Caucasus, it would be effective in containing the strength of the Russians, and it would also be very helpful in exacerbating the chaos in post-war Europe!

In addition, the Ottoman Turkish Empire had a great hatred for the Entente! The warships they ordered from Britain were requisitioned by the British on the grounds of war, and they did not return the funds for ordering warships to the Ottoman Empire, which made the Ottoman Empire very hateful to the British! Coupled with the fact that Britain and France were both responsible for the decline of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, it was only natural that they were hostile to the Entente!

On March 27, the Chinese ambassador to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Zhang Shangyou, met with the de facto leader of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the head of the triumvirate of the Turkish Al-Shabaab. Pasha. Now that the Turkish Al-Shabaab has taken control of the entire Ottoman Turkish Empire, Sultan Mehmed V is nothing more than a puppet, as long as he can convince Enver. Pasha, then, the entry of the Ottoman Turkish Empire into the war is a foregone conclusion!

It was a pleasant meeting between the two sides, Enver. Pasha gave Ambassador Zhang Shangyou a lot of face. After Ambassador Zhang Shangyou raised the hopes of the Chinese side, Enver. Pasha said that the Ottoman Turkish Empire would consider it carefully! However, it can be seen from the smile on his face that he is already tempted!
