Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Colonial Situation

After the end of the First World War in Asia, the Western powers rose a new level of science and technology, the level of industry skyrocketed, and the demand for steel soared.

In addition to the expansion of the eight empires of the Iohol Empire, the French Empire, the Nodan Empire, and the Spanish Portuguese Empire, the Great Western Continent on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean is also their target, because it has to span more than 10,000 kilometers of sea areas, and there is not even a small island in the ocean, in addition to the difficulty of supply, the storm and huge waves in the ocean are the biggest enemies, the main reason is the existence of three satellites. By now, a staggering number of adventurers had crossed the Atlantic, but less than a hundred were able to run back and forth. No country can now come up with a complete map of the planet's continents and oceans, except for the golden shipping routes.

The adventurers of the Japanese Kingdom also explored eastward, but did not gain much except for discovering a few small islands, and the resources of the Great Han Kingdom and the Grassland Kingdom were enough for him to eat for several lifetimes, so he focused on this and more than a dozen countries in the South China Sea. They built airfields in the occupied areas, accelerated the construction of roads and railways, transported urgently needed resources to coastal ports, and finally pulled them back to their homeland by boats; their planes ran rampant over the grasslands, and reconnaissance planes flew dozens of times into the airspace of the base's cordon, but were all destroyed by our air force, and they never dared to step into a single step; and the Japanese navy that was advancing west along the Dayan River also suffered the same fate; as soon as it entered a certain area, the fleet would be torpedoed, and after losing dozens of warships and 20,000 navies, it would also not step a step further. If the Japanese wanted to enter Huayang County, Zealand Province, they had to advance by land.

But is it so easy to get in by land?

To the east of Sealand Province is Xishan Province, Yan Laodiao holds the military power of 300,000 troops, and is a large coal-producing province that is rich enough to retain oil, is he willing to let the Japanese army enter his garden? The answer is no. The coal mines in Xishan Province have always been the target of the Japanese and Japanese countries, and only by occupying the province can the Japanese and Japanese countries have a hundred years of energy security, and at the same time can uncover the mystery of Huayang County.

There are two official roads into Zealand, which are now heavily guarded, a deep-water wharf is under construction on the banks of the Dayan River in the north, and a first-class road to the provincial capital is halfway completed, and this wharf is planned to be the only commercial city and shipping center along the river in Zeeland province. A reservoir near the provincial capital has been completed, the No. 1 generating unit has been put into normal operation, the main departments and streets of the provincial capital have been electrified, two main lines in the province have been completed, three more are under construction, and a glass factory has just been put into operation, providing 2,000 jobs. In addition to benefiting farmers in the province, tobacco cultivation has also benefited farmers in the neighboring southern province of Beihu Province, and now Xiaodao brand cigarettes are now selling well throughout the country and are exported in small quantities.

In order to save effort, Zhang Hu laid a mine array on the main traffic road, pulled up barbed wire, drove a heavy machine gun, and killed tens of thousands of Yan Laodiao's soldiers, he never dared to step into the salt mine again. The province now has 300,000 regular troops, 100,000 local militiamen, 50,000 police forces, and 50,000 boy scouts, including 30,000 cavalry, 2,000 artillery pieces, and 1,000 armored vehicles.

Deng Huaqiang and other members of the revolutionary organization played an important role in the army of Sealand Province, while stabilizing the army building, attracting a large number of talented people, and publicizing Sealand Province throughout the country, so that the population of Sealand Province rose to 18 million, and at the same time, tens of thousands of refugees poured in every day.

The original market in Huayang County has now moved to a small town on the border of Zealand and Xishan provinces, and the scale of the building has increased tenfold, making it the largest and most popular comprehensive market in the country. At the same time, the first bank of the Han Dynasty was established to issue paper money, and merchants from other provinces had to go through the bank to enter the market and exchange the gold and silver they brought into paper money. In this way, the province of Sealand has gotten rid of the Great Han State and has the shadow of a new government.

More than a dozen countries in the southern part of the Han Kingdom became the second battlefield of the Western powers, and the Japanese sent 500,000 troops to invade the countries of the South China Sea, opening the prelude to World War II with the Western powers competing for resources. Within 30 days, the northern territory of the Great Han Kingdom was all under the control of the Japanese and Japanese states, and the court had no choice but to move into the western basin, and the three major warlords in the south finally joined forces to resist the invasion of the Japanese and Japanese countries.

Yan Laodiao of Xishan Province was forced by the pressure of the Japanese Japanese army to go to Xilan Province to negotiate with Zhou Yan in person, hoping to resist the invaders together, in order to train the army, Zhang Hu promised to send 100,000 troops into the forward position.

At this time, in order to solve the grassland problem as soon as possible, the Japanese and Japanese sent another 500,000 army to attack on the whole front, seven days later, the three countries of the grassland were defeated and retreated to the middle of the grassland, when their 200,000 remnants arrived in front of my grassland base, they were blocked by the 100,000 troops of Sealand Province led by Li Bao, after the reorganization, Li Bao served as the supreme military commander and began to recover the grassland.

Before the battle began, the Air Force and Navy finally showed up······
