Chapter 161: Great Power Posture
In June of the 5th year of the new calendar, after the high-level negotiations of the Yuan State and the Yan State and the political council of the Fan State, the integration plan of the three kingdoms of Yuan Yanfan was proposed, and on the basis of the inherent territory of the three countries, some small forces in the middle and surrounding areas were united to establish a large alliance, and at the same time, a joint political council was established to gradually take over the power of the three countries of Yuan, Yan and Fan, with Lin Yue as the chairman of the joint political council and Qiu Chen as the vice chairman.
Although the prospects of the integration plan are good, there are bound to be many problems in the process of promoting it, so this plan is a two-year period, first gradually opening up exchanges between various national forces, promoting the flow of people, until the political, economic and cultural aspects of the parties reach a consensus, and then the real alliance is formed.
Until now, the Yuan Yanfan Alliance will also be the most powerful force within a radius of five hundred kilometers, even Suyang Fort, which is located more than two hundred kilometers north of the Yuan Kingdom.
Big power also means a higher status, although the Yuan Yanfan Alliance did not take the initiative to launch any military aggression, but for some surrounding forces will definitely intervene and interfere in all aspects, as long as it is in line with the interests of the Yuan Yanfan Alliance and does not violate the principle of the issue, the Yuan Yanfan Alliance will do it.
Therefore, the expansion of power was carried out in a more rapid way, and in October of the 5th year of the new calendar, industrialization also began to spread within the Yuan Yanfan Alliance.
In addition to internal development, Lin Yue's external exploration has never stopped, and when he was at war with the Broken Wolf Country, the intelligence officers of the Yuan Kingdom went further, until now, the detection range of the Yuan Yanfan Alliance has reached a radius of more than a thousand kilometers.
According to the news returned from the exploration, nearly 800 kilometers to the east of the Yuan Kingdom, there will be an endless ocean, and along the north and south, there will also be a continuous coastline.
Therefore, the area to the east is very likely to be the east coast of the continent where Lin Yue is located. In addition to the east, the coast is actually about 1,000 kilometers away, and it is also encountered by the ocean, and according to preliminary speculation, the north and east coasts are connected.
The exploration to the south and west continues, because in the process of exploration, the steep road is only one aspect, and the various forces along the road are also a great security threat.
Exploration is one thing, and being able to receive relevant intelligence is another, although the detectable range of the Yuan Yanfan Alliance has reached more than a thousand kilometers away, but that is just a distance statement, in terms of range, the three kingdoms of Yuan Yanfan can only collect intelligence within a radius of five or six hundred kilometers at most, and there are even some places where they only know the approximate location and number of forces, but the depth and strength of their forces are completely unknown.
Among the forces shown by the detection intelligence, there are only three forces that are truly determined to pose a threat to the Yuan Yanfan Alliance, including Suyang Fort in the north of the Yuan Kingdom, and the only one who can really understand the strength of the forces is Suyang Fort.
As of June of the 5th year of the new century, the intelligence of Suyang Fort is that the population is about 180,000, the army is more than 10,000, and the weapons in their possession may still be used in powder cartridges.
And the total population of the Yuan Yanfan Alliance is already more than 800,000, if it can integrate the various small forces around it, it is possible for the population of the Yuan Yanfan Alliance to exceed one million.
And judging from the number of troops, the three parties of Yuan, Yan and Fan combined, there are almost 35,000 people.
And these are just some simple surface data, another thing that affects the strength of the force, as well as the development strength of science and technology.
In Lin Yue's next plan, he felt that the most important thing was only three aspects, stepping up internal construction, expanding the controllable scope of the Yuan Yanfan Alliance, and collecting more external intelligence.
In February of the 6th year of the new calendar, the coalition government fully took over the Yuan Yanfan Alliance, and at the same time, it basically integrated the forces in the middle of the three countries, and eliminated those forces that did not obey.
At the same time, in an area between the three kingdoms of Yuan Yanfan, the future capital of the alliance was established, Dawning City.
The moral of Dawn City is that the people of the Three Kingdoms of Yuan Yanfan have developed so far, and they have been able to initially see the dawn before the great crossing of recovery.
All the construction of Dawning City will also adopt the latest scientific and technological achievements, including the city's underground water drainage system, water pipeline system, and electrical circuit system.
Although these aspects are not at all comparable to those big cities in the previous life, they at least have a little bit of modernity.
So far, the mechanical construction plan planned by Yuan Guo has also reached the middle and late stages, and a number of machinery manufacturing factories have been established in Yuan Guo, which can not only produce some simple electrical appliances, such as guns and ammunition, but also start to produce.
The most important technical difficulty in the production of firearms is not a problem at all for those professionals in the Yuan country, so the most important difficulty lies only in the unification of materials and specifications.
Now that the machine factory has been established, the manufacture of firearms will also be able to reach mass production. After more than half a year of production in several factories, the first batch of imitation Type 88 rifles was produced, with a total of 2,000 rifles, in addition to 500 pistols independently developed from existing materials.
And these are only part of it, and later, according to Zheng Hai's instructions, the Yuan Guo Factory will also try to develop and produce more advantageous weapons such as machine guns and submachine guns.
However, these have higher requirements in terms of materials and production technology, so it will take time, and those produced rifles and pistols, because of the limitations of materials, will inevitably have various defects in terms of function, and it is normal for any problems to occur from time to time.
With guns to arm, the strength of the Yuan Yanfan Alliance army will increase more than tenfold for a while, and it will also be tougher in foreign political interference.
At this time, Lin Yue really realized that a country's external posture really has a great relationship with its own power, although the Yuan State was strong before, but when facing other forces, at least it retains a humble attitude, unless other countries are offended, otherwise they will never take the initiative to offend others.
After the establishment of the Yuan Yanfan Alliance, it has a strong strength as the foundation, which directly determines the fate of the surrounding forces, integrates the obedient, and eliminates the disobedient.
And now that Yuan Yanfan's army has guns in their hands, what will happen out of the ordinary, Lin Yue can hardly predict.
In order to prevent this from happening, Lin Yue repeatedly conducted ideological education on Yuan Yanfan's politicians and military officers, and at the same time listed a series of legal provisions to restrict them.
After Lin Yue's actions were implemented, he felt very uncomfortable for the soldiers below, as soldiers, they yearned for the battlefield, and now they have guns in their hands, the strength of the army has been greatly enhanced, and they must have better performance in foreign wars, but at this time, the upper echelons have imposed various restrictions on them.
Lin Yue was very clear about the soldiers' complaints, and at this time, Lin Yue also knew what he should do, he must continue to educate this group of soldiers ideologically, and dispel the idea that they might take the initiative to initiate aggression.
Facts have proved that there are too many leaders in history who launched attacks under the coercion of soldiers, Zhao Kuangyin in the Song Dynasty and An Lushan Uprising in the Tang Dynasty all occurred under the coercion of the soldiers and generals.
Of course, these may also be Lin Yue's worries, the soldiers are only complaining at most, and Lin Yue can't determine what their specific thoughts are, so they only need to do a good job of ideological work.
Under the support of strong strength, although the Yuan Yanfan Alliance did not launch any aspect of aggression, but when it comes to the outside world, the posture will inevitably be involuntarily raised, and when it encounters some resource problems, the Yuan Yanfan Alliance must also intervene to get a piece of the pie, which makes many people can't help but sigh how similar the approach of the Yuan Yanfan Alliance is to the United States before the Great Crossover.
