Chapter 99: Stepping into the World Stage XVIII
The so-called extra military salary is still relatively rich, and it is almost the same as the treatment of the American Field Army!
This is also a means to stimulate the combat enthusiasm of those American Self-Defense Force soldiers, the Indians are more and more aware of the benefits of 'Zhao Datou', for this kind of thing that can make extra money, many Indian soldiers are still very supportive, and the most important thing is that after the foreign war, the soldiers of the American Self-Defense Force who perform well can join the American Field Army with better treatment and become the standing army of the Han Empire!
This is an all-round improvement in treatment and status, as long as there is a little self-motivated Indian soldier, they will rush to it!
Zhao Dutian took advantage of various preferential treatment for soldiers and convenient and fast war rising channels compared to the civilian system, and gradually established the foundation of militarism for the Han Empire!
However, while the Han Empire is steadily improving, Zhao Dutian also has new worries, as the saying goes, the stronger the strength, the greater the ambition, at the moment when the Spanish city of San Francisco is about to arrive, he will inevitably obtain a lot of gold resources again, and those newly occupied gold mines have also begun to put into production, and the negative growth of gold resources in the Han Empire has been greatly alleviated!
According to the calculations of the Ministry of Economy of the Empire, after obtaining the gold mines around San Francisco, the army of the Empire will be able to afford the consumption of explosive shells without increasing the field troops!
Most of the gold resources in North America are concentrated in California, but they can barely support the Han Empire's full-scale explosive bombs......
That's the productivity gap!
The Han Empire, which did not complete the first industrial revolution, even if the technology of the military factories did not lag behind the mainstream European powers, was much inferior to the European society in terms of assembly line technology!
A variety of factors add up to the high price of blasting shells!
It can be said that the Han Empire is still in the stage of primitive accumulation, and it is far from reaching the level of strength to wage an all-out war with the European powers!
Of course, the Kingdom of Spain, an over-the-top power, was not counted......
With Zhao Dutian's occupation of Monterey City, the Special Operations Office of the Han Empire also began to spread in full!
The strength of the Han Empire has made more low-level civilians willing to provide paid services to them, and the obstacles to the development of outside personnel in the secret service have been greatly reduced, especially in various parts of South America!
But!
It was because he got too much information about South America that Zhao Dutian felt how difficult it was for him to realize his dream!
Those so-called national independence people in South America did not have the slightest intention of defecting to the Han Empire, and they regarded the Han Empire as the same 'revolutionary pioneers' as them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Han Empire is a role model in their eyes and an existence worth learning from, but they have never regarded the Han Empire as their savior!
Not to mention letting the Han rule over them!
Because whether from a historical or regional point of view, the Han Empire has nothing to do with the natives of South America at all!
They are making a fuss about national independence, if they jump from the hands of the colonists of the Spanish Kingdom to the hands of the Han Empire after the trouble, what difference does it make?
These doorways, those vigilant leaders of national independence understand!
On the surface, they look like brothers, but secretly they have been guarding against the intervention of the Han Empire's secret service in national independence matters!
To sum up, there is assistance for us to continue, and there is no command door!
How could this make Zhao Dutian not annoyed?!
However, the spies of the Han Empire can be said to be blind in South America, and if they don't cooperate with those local snakes, they can't develop an intelligence network at all!
Naturally, Zhao Dutian was deeply aware that his previous strategy for South America could not be realized at all!
It's easy to get those South American snakes with signs of independence to drive out the Spaniards with their own inside and outside, but it's hard to become their 'leader'!
Besides, the Spaniards are not the only ones in this world who are pushing South America, but the British and French are always staring at the Spanish colonies!
It's just that Britain and France are different from Zhao Dutian's Han Empire, the British king and the French king are not the kind of complete dictatorship, to put it bluntly, the monarchy system in Europe during this period, the king is just the head of a group of aristocratic forces!
The monarchical power of France can be greater, and the monarchical power of England has been greatly weakened after the Cromwell Rebellion, and the British monarch wants to declare war, and it is absolutely impossible not to pass the hurdle of parliament!
Zhao Dutian's power in the Han Empire can be said to have reached the peak of the centralized system!
If you compare a ruler, I am afraid that only the rights of the old emperor Kangxi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in this era can be compared!
It is a pity that the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had to always be on guard against the Han ethnic group with an excessively large population base, and could not develop the war potential of the entire country at all!
The Manchu magnates knew very well that even if the children of the Eight Banners did not fight for themselves, the guns must be in their own hands, and it was easy to let go of the military power, but it would be difficult to take it back!
After the death of Cixi, the Xinhai Revolution changed overnight, and the success factor was absolutely inseparable from the Han people's command of the army!
Of course, the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time had no choice, and the children of the Eight Banners in the last years of the Qing Dynasty were no longer a question of whether they could fight, but whether they dared to hold a gun......
If the Han people were not given military power, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would have perished for decades!
I have to say that it is not easy for the old woman in Cixi to maintain such a dilapidated Manchu state and not collapse until she returns to the west......
However, I don't know why the time trend of this parallel world is so strange, Europe has reached the level of the 18th century, and the Kangxi Emperor of the Manchu Empire is not dead!
Isn't this causing trouble to Zhao Dutian?
The children of the Eight Banners during the Kangxi period were not completely corrupted, and the Han green battalion was not to the point of collapse at the touch of a button, and the military tactics were backward, just because no one beat them, if the Manchu Empire was really beaten during the Kangxi period, Kang Mazi was not an idiot with old-fashioned thinking......
The more Zhao Dutian thought about it, the more he felt that he was a little far away from the ideal of waking up to the power of the world and getting drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women......
Hey, it seems that I can't blindly harden steel, and after I take San Francisco, those European powers will look down on the Indians no longer and will be forced to pick up a magnifying glass to study how the Han Empire rose......
The modern European powers are a group of quite terrible wolves, tempered by interests and perennial wars, their reflexes are extremely sharp, the Europeans can allow the Europeans to rise, but they will never allow the natives who were despised by them in the face before!
