The Russian Empire, which had the largest army in Europe, basically became the leader of Central and Northern Europe such as the German Empire and the Kingdom of Austria, and was constantly expanding its professional army loyal to the absolute monarchy!

And the English Empire, which controls most of the countries of Western Europe, is also expanding its army!

There is only one country on the continent that can still maintain its political and military independence, and that is the Kingdom of Italy!

There is no other reason than that the Kingdom of Italy was the first country to develop an original version of the Gatling gun!

It was precisely because of the invention of this machine gun and the comprehensive arrangement of the breech guns of the Italian army that the revolutionary mass uprising caused by the First International of the French Republic was easily suppressed without losing much national strength!

The Kingdom of Italy gained dominance through the exchange of machine gun technology with the Russian Empire and the English Empire, and gradually a comprehensive military alliance was established in the Western community!

The military alliance headed by the English Empire, the Russian Empire, and the Kingdom of Italy was named the Axis Military Alliance after it was formed!

The Axis powers are Britain, Russia and Italy, and although the other countries have joined the Axis military alliance, they are under the leadership and command of these three giants!

As the saying goes, there is pressure to have motivation, under the aggressiveness of the Han army, the Western society completed the military integration with unprecedented efficiency, and the huge industrial strength of the Western countries began to produce a steady stream of single-shot breech guns, armed the army, and tried to resist the imminent invasion of the Han Empire!

After the establishment of the Axis military alliance, in addition to European countries, the Ottoman Turkish Empire and Qianlong Lao'er's Eight Banners also joined, and the Western society did its best to unite all the forces that could be united!

It's just that the time left for them by the Han Empire is too short!

Just when the British, Russians, and Italians were still struggling with the program and organization of the Axis military alliance group, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty 71, the million-strong division of the Han Empire had already taken the lead in roaring!

At the beginning of the 71st year of the Han Dynasty, when the Han army was preparing to launch an offensive in the direction of the Near East, the Han Empire benefited from the efficient and only dictatorial politics, and the whole country was moving closer to the direction of war under the militarist ideology and spy network, and already had more than 3 million regular soldiers on duty!

Nearly 2 million of them were soldiers with actual combat experience, and although the Han soldiers faced the enemy most of the time with backward flintlock muskets, smoothbore cannons, and even broadswords, spears, and bows and arrows, at least they had seen blood, and they were barely a veteran unit......

In addition to these 3 million recorded regular army units that are officially recognized by the Han Empire and need to be paid uniformly on a regular basis, there are also a number of local security troops under the command of the Han Empire that cannot be counted, and the treatment of each region is completely different!

For example, the local security brigade in China, led by Mondora in Southeast Asia, is brutal and ruthless, and almost every day kills or captures a local local garrison of indigenous monkeys in Southeast Asia!

There were also a small number of local armed men thousands of miles away, who served as a warning, in sparsely populated areas such as Australia and the island of New Zealand, to assert the Han Empire's sovereignty there......

Well, it was just a declaration of sovereignty, and those undeveloped areas could not provide any useful materials for the Han Empire, and the small amount of food produced could only be used by a small number of local soldiers and civilians......

In addition to the newly expanded territory of the Han Empire, there are also the native garrisons of the Americas, which are also used to guard and protect the soldiers of the heavy industry base in the Americas, the native garrisons of the Americas have been completely controlled by the Han officers of the system, firmly controlled by Zhao Dutian, the land of rich natural resources in the Americas, lined with factory chimneys rising to the sky, indicating that the Han Empire has leapt to the world's first industrial strength, and continues to produce a large amount of arms and ammunition to support military operations in Eurasia!

The huge number of sea ships in the Han Empire firmly supported the expeditionary movement of the Han army to the west, and every day there were sea ships full of ammunition and various industrial and military supplies leaving the major ports in the Americas, and then from the Eurasian continent, steam-powered and old-fashioned sail ships, loaded with a large number of Southeast Asian monkey coolies, Korean coolies, Central Asian ethnic coolies, etc., and perhaps a small number of children of the original banner people arrived!

It is by relying on the continuous delivery of labor that the Americas have supported a huge industrial base!

The Han people only need to be responsible for factory production, and the rest of the work that does not require much knowledge, but requires a lot of manpower, such as mining minerals, building roads, railways, and even transporting raw materials, is all carried out by these foreign slave laborers who cannot decide the safety of their lives!

These alien slave laborers were all young men (the women were used by the local garrison as comfort women!). The labor efficiency is still quite high, but they are brutally squeezed by the authorities of the Han Empire!

24 hours a day, the time for these slave laborers to sleep, eat, and rest against the wind will not exceed 8 hours! And there aren't any days off!

They work at least 16 hours a day!

This is only a common phenomenon, such as the fact that in some places where high-intensity labor is required, these slave laborers are occasionally forced to work for more than 20 hours a day in order to rush the work!

Hardly except for the time to eat and squint a little, these young slave laborers had no freedom at all!

These slave laborers were monitored by Indian overseers with leather whips throughout the whole process, and the slightest slackness and dissatisfaction were beaten down with leather whips and sticks, and there were countless examples of being beaten alive!

This method greatly deterred the enthusiasm of those slave laborers, who were obedient and had food, at least they could survive, and dying of exhaustion could only show that they were unlucky and not physically fit enough......

As for the revolt of slave laborers, it is all too normal for it to occur under such a system of oppression!

However, these riots could not break through the cordon with machine guns and grenadiers, and they were often so rapid when they broke out and overwhelming as quickly as they were extinguished, and in the event of a slave labor riot, it would take less than a week for the Garrison of the Americas stationed not far away to produce hundreds of corpses!

In addition, these corpses will be selectively dragged to a nearby slave labor camp for demonstration!
