Chapter 483: Imperial Invasion I
After the surrender of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the last Axis fortress in the world to resist the Han Empire, Zhao Dutian once again received a pleasant system prompt for the Age of Empires!
[Congratulations to the Juggernaut for achieving the world's sole hegemony, all the scientific and technological barriers of the system have been fully unlocked, and the military equipment from the current period to the technology tree of the information age has been opened in the combat laboratory! ]
All scientific and technological information is free and open, the ruler only needs to order the system scientists under his command to understand the technical data, and apply the things on the drawings to reality, hoping that the ruler will climb the technology tree without barriers as soon as possible and enter the level of cosmic civilization, according to the system detection, the plane is being interfered with by abnormal signals, and there may be accidents, the source of interference is in the central region of the African continent, please be sure to send an army to check! 】
Zhao Dutian, who had just completed the first 'Hundred People Beheading' in Baihuayuan, said to the personal female confidential secretary beside him while taking a bath: "Telegraph the Imperial General Staff to immediately send at least three field legions to attack the African continent and control the central African region as quickly as possible, and notify me immediately if there is any abnormality!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
In the past few years of confrontation with the European Axis bloc, the technology of the Han Empire has shown an explosive increase, and the cable telegraph has been laid across the Eurasian continent.
In addition to the cable telegraph, which cost a lot of money to lay, the most brilliant project was the deep railway that crossed the entire Eurasian continent!
This railway started from the city of Vienna in Europe and ended in Beijing, the new capital of the Han Empire in the east, and both began to be built at the same time!
A large number of third-class citizens of different races were semi-forcibly turned into railway workers, using their sweat and lives to contribute every drop of essence to the transportation dredging of the Han Empire!
With the surrender of the British Empire, the last bastion of the Axis bloc, the military industry and army size of the Han Empire also swelled like never before!
Not to mention the number of local security forces that cannot be counted in detail, but the number of soldiers stationed all over the world in the Imperial General Staff alone has already exceeded the 10 million mark!
At this time, the regular army soldiers of the Han Empire were no longer simply Han people, and the morale of the soldiers in Europe was becoming more and more sluggish, and all kinds of 'white traitors' invested in the military system of the Han Empire in order to have a better future under the rule of the Han Empire, providing a wide source of soldiers for the Han Empire!
The size of the Pioneer Death Squad has long since expanded to more than one million, but the troops of this nature are not formed into separate armies, but are assigned to the main field units of the Han people as special combat units!
In addition to these white troops who had to go to the front line in person and had a high casualty rate, in order to maintain the huge number of Han troops, the Han Empire recruited many auxiliary troops of other races, that is, logistics miscellaneous soldiers in the eyes of civilians!
These people, when necessary, will also become cannon fodder on the battlefield and so on. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In this way, the tens of millions of troops recorded in the Han Empire are the army with the Han people as the main body, and other ethnic groups as auxiliary and cannon fodder.
It is true that in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Central Asia, Europe and other regions, there are large and small, unequal number of resistance organizations, some are in the deep mountains and old forests to gnaw wild vegetables and catch rats to live, basically all of them are family members and relatives have been ravaged and slaughtered by the Han soldiers of the mortal enemy, even if the environment is harsh, the Han Empire has ruled the whole world, they are also for revenge and unrealistic fantasies in their hearts, resolutely fighting!
Interestingly, these local resistance guerrillas often faced not regular Han field troops, but local militia forces composed of a large number of obedient locals, that is, these local militia forces with rudimentary weapons were only used for law and order, and they could fight back and forth with a small number of recalcitrant rebels who could not have enough to eat......
Of course, this situation will soon disappear in Zhao Dutian's eyes, after the British surrender, the field troops of the Han Empire will be completely released, and at that time, even if it pays a certain price to pull those recalcitrant elements out of the deep mountains and old forests, it is worth it!
In addition to these innocuous guerrillas, the hidden dangers within the Han Empire are most likely to affect the foundation of the Han Empire, those large numbers of third-class civilians of foreign races!
These third-class civilians of different races belong to the kind of people who do not want to serve the Han Empire and join the vanguard death squads and miscellaneous cannon fodder of the Han Empire, but also do not want to completely change their religious beliefs and disdain the Taimonotheism of the Han Empire!
You must know that the rigid rule for the promotion of third-class civilians to second-class civilians in the Han Empire is that they give up their religious beliefs and believe in the monotheistic religion of the Han Empire, even if it is just to be an appearance!
These third-class civilians of the alien race who watched the development and expansion of the Han Empire with a cold eye were oppressed by the harsh policies of the Han Empire all the time!
All the social welfare systems promulgated by the Han Empire would not fall on the heads of third-class citizens, and third-class civilians had to pay an additional poll tax for infidels, which was very taxable!
In addition, the third-class civilians of the Han Empire also have to contribute their labor force to the construction movement of the Han Empire from time to time without compensation!
Civilians of the third class who are forcibly conscripted for labor do not receive any remuneration for their work, except for the necessary food and shelter!
On the other hand, they pay the highest number of labor hours!
There are no days off, and as soon as it is dawn in the morning, they will be shouted by the overseers, and after hastily eating the food that can be used to feed the pigs, they will be driven to work at the place of work!
There are regular soldiers of the Han army who are loaded with guns and ammunition to supervise!
Every place where civilians of the third class work collectively is as severe as a small concentration camp!
These third-class civilian laborers will work until it is completely dark and they are unable to work, and then they will stop working!
After all, the technology of the Han Empire is focused on the military, and the electric light has not yet been invented......
The garrison barracks and military bases of the Han Imperial Army, the highways and avenues linking transportation, and the most important railway construction were all built with the sweat of third-class civilians!
One can imagine how much resentment the third-class civilians who are so oppressed have in their hearts!
It is precisely because the Han Empire treats third-class civilians extremely harshly, so many third-class civilians would rather participate in the cannon fodder-like pioneer death squad than stay in their hometown and suffer crimes!
Zhao Dutian had heard a famous saying in his previous life - there is no revolution in the breech gun!
Although this sentence is a bit too extreme, it also reflects the fact that after the power of weapons has been greatly increased and the important factor of victory or defeat on the battlefield has gradually shifted from the number of individual soldiers to artillery, planes and tanks, it will become more and more difficult to succeed in the rebellion without an industrial base and a revolutionary mass movement with only one blood!
Even, in the 21 st century, when missiles are popularized, as long as the armed forces of major countries do not mutiny, no matter how many ordinary people are dissatisfied with the government, they will cause even the slightest damage that shakes the country's foundation!
As a simple example, 10,000 militia armed with AK47s are no match for a surprise attack by an armored company!
Of course, guerrilla warfare is a different matter, but guerrilla warfare is always a helpless move of the weaker side, and even the old man Taizu, who brought guerrilla tactics to the extreme, finally relied on the three major battles on the frontal battlefield.
If you want to replace it with a subverted regime, guerrilla warfare will never be able to get on the table, and no matter how well it is done, it will slowly bleed the government, and it will not endanger its fundamentals, and only a great victory on the frontal battlefield will really crush a country's main military force and destroy its military morale!
The reason why the Han Empire was able to control most of the regions in the world so stably was because of the sharpness of weapons!
Even if those guerrilla resistors captured the Han Dynasty soldiers' Han rifles, grenadiers, and even field artillery!
Without the support of a systematic industrial base, the weapons and ammunition they captured could not even fight a small battle!
As long as the Han Empire can endure the casualties of its soldiers, it is only a matter of time before the rootless duckweed-like resistance group is eliminated!
Therefore, with the Han Empire suppressed by tens of millions of troops, Zhao Dutian was not worried that the huge third-class civilians of the alien race would turn the sky upside down, and their riots were useless except for increasing corpses!
When they had a government and an army, they couldn't defeat the Han army, let alone now?
Moreover, Han soldiers and third-class civilians of different races belong to different groups, and infiltrating the rebel forces into the Han army or something is purely a fool's dream, just like in World War II in the history of the earth, the Chinese resistance organization could not plot against the Japanese garrison......
The gap between ethnicity and ideology is enough to ensure that Han soldiers and local third-class civilians of different races are on the opposite side of the two worlds!
This gap will become bigger and bigger with the explosion of more advanced technology in the Han Empire over time!
After all, there is no humanitarianism in this era, there is no democratic spirit, as long as the army dares to raise the butcher's knife without scruples, there will be no mob rebellion that cannot be suppressed!
Just when Zhao Dutian was enjoying the 'new goods' sent by Baihuayuan on a regular basis, while steadily and continuously expanding the military production capacity of the Han Empire, and supporting the combat laboratory to continuously launch new products, in the unknown depths of the tropical rainforest in central Africa, a group of creatures different from humans began to assemble in an organized and planned manner!
The starting point of all this is the original pope of Rome who has fled here as a puppet!
The technology he got before was not priceless!
