Chapter 305: The British's Targeting
Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince the last Spanish colonial army laid down its arms three years ago, surrendered to the Han Empire, and pledged allegiance to the Clouey family, the native California region of the Han Empire, except for a small number of elites, has not restored the peacetime economic system!
Because of the military control system that has been maintained by the occupation zone of South America and the occupation zone of Mexico!
Due to the support of most of the people at the bottom of the Han Empire, there are not many places for military control in the province of Mexico, but because of the large number of black slaves in South America, the National Guard of the Americas, which has been repeatedly expanded, is always in a state of combat readiness!
The state of emergency in wartime undoubtedly made the Han Empire's forced deprivation of the interests of the white tyrant class more thorough, and the implementation of land distribution was also stronger, and the Han Empire's three-year military control was inseparable from the support of the Indians and Indo-European mestizos!
However, even so, the wartime economy of military control has also made the financial situation of the Han Empire a little worse, and the wealth of the looted and looted whites is being consumed in large quantities!
This is also the reason why Zhao Dutian is eager to quickly solve the black slaves!
The black race, the top of the Han Empire has long figured out, due to their long-term enslavement education, coupled with the extreme lack of knowledge and culture, if Lazhuang Ding acts as a soldier, the combat effectiveness is even inferior to the Japanese servant army with vests and detached virtues!
It is too normal for the black army to be crushed on the battlefield, because they have no desire to fight at all, and conversely, if the black people have a strong desire to fight, can they still be willing slaves for generations?!
Of course, the shortcomings of the black people who are warriors to the limit are not impossible to solve, as long as they are freed, the black people will completely transform into real liberal fighters!
However, it is not difficult to issue the abolitionist bill, but it is a one-shot deal, and once it is done, if you want to reduce the black people to slavery in the future, you will wait for the black people who have tasted the taste of freedom!
You can't use them as cannon fodder to consume a large number of blacks on the battlefield, even if you keep treating them as slaves, with the development of civilization in this world, black slaves will sooner or later be infected by all kinds of liberal revolutionism!
At that time, a large-scale slave revolt was inevitable!
The living example of the Republic of Haiti is before us, where it has been proved that the black people, though dull, can become rioting beasts when dangerous ideas are introduced!
Rather than wait for the powder keg that will retain nearly half of the population in South America in the future, Zhao Dutian would rather take advantage of the current military strength to carry out a genocidal policy that will never cause trouble!
Population can be born, although there will be a short-term labor shortage if the blacks are killed, but those abandoned lands are still there, as long as it takes another 20 years, with the current normal couple who have nothing to do all day long and only know the rhythm of popping, it is really not too much to give birth to a dozen children in a lifetime!
Of course, the infant mortality rate in this era is also frighteningly high, but these can be solved!
The reason why Zhao Dutian chose this kind of quick and extreme measure is that one of the most important factors is that the position where his butt is sitting is determined!
He was a reactionary dictator in later generations!
A dictator in the absolute sense of the word, with millions of oppressed races in the country, and a group of white countries outside that want the Han Empire to fall apart, isn't this a proper place for a revolution to break out?!
Therefore, before going outside, you must be inside!
Less than a month after the outbreak of the black uprising, the Han Empire's efficient military suppression successfully extinguished this flame!
Although the spirit of the black uprising is very good, and they do receive a lot of flintlock muskets smuggled in by the British, but the military quality of the blacks is too poor, they have not been systematically trained at all, and when they fight, they either swarm and sprint, or play free shooting games from a distance, such troops, even if they all have the spirit of anger and sacrifice for death against the Han Empire, it is just to increase the ammunition loss and insignificant casualty ratio of the suppression troops!
To put it mildly, how many American National Guards have died, Zhao Dutian is not distressed, anyway, it is not the system Han who died in battle......
Moreover, it is not difficult to replenish the National Guard of the Americas, and the reason why the Han Empire only expanded to 200,000 National Guard of the Americas is not because of insufficient soldiers, but because the financial resources cannot afford it......
This is also the biggest constraint on this era and future wars, starting from the mass popularization of firearms, whether the war can be fought no longer depends on how many people and troops are left in each country, as long as there is money, the war can be maintained almost indefinitely!
The Great Voyage has connected the whole world, and even if its own population dies to the limit, it can still pay mercenaries!
Unless, like Prussia, the road is completely blocked!
Among the European powers, there were still quite a few Germans loyal to the Foreign Legion of the British Crown, and if this group of people attacked Prussia, there would be absolutely no psychological obstacles!
They are all war machines fighting for money, with only money and honor in their eyes, and no concept of a state!
The difference between this kind of mercenaries and the kind of mercenaries hundreds of years ago is that they rarely betray their financiers, because the European powers at this time implemented a standing army system, and this kind of mercenaries are naturally raised as a standing army, which is very different from the mercenaries in the era of cold weapons who were found and killed in wartime!
It can be said that the foreign legions of these countries have no worries, even if they are defeated and dispersed, as long as the financiers are not destroyed, they can also get pensions!
Even, the foreign legions of many European powers, because of their status as foreigners, fought more bravely than their own soldiers, and the complexity of people's hearts is really interesting......
The world in which Zhao Dutian is located, now the most qualified to ignore human resources and use only money to carry out the war infinitely, is naturally the British Empire, which has just been promoted to the empire on which the sun never sets!
After the end of the war, the British garrison in North America increased every year, and even quite a few well-known British Legions of Honor landed in New France in the North American colonies!
Take the Scottish Highland Infantry Regiment, for example! King Grenadier Guard!
The expansion of the Han Empire is like lifting the scales of the British Empire, because the Han Empire is too close to the British North American colonies!
North America, as a British colony second only to the Indian subcontinent, whether it is the king of the British Empire or the parliamentary aristocracy, will not let go easily!
It stands to reason that the suppression of the black uprising was not the beginning of peace, but the prelude to war!
