832 Western Siberian crisis
@@@
It's a chaotic America. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)
When the results of the naval battle of Bermuda spread all over the world, when four aircraft carriers led 10 battleships, one large cruiser, 15 light cruisers, and more than 40 destroyers to the east coast of the United States, all kinds of rumors directly led to the collapse of the United States.
On the night of July 21, 1917, when U.S. President Melkin and members of the White House set out to take refuge in the North, the declaration of autonomy from the war came from Alabama and Georgia in the south, which completely crushed the latter straw.
After the Civil War, the southern states that had long been under military control and isolation policy no longer wanted to have wars, and with the repeated announcements of the Chinese government pointing the finger at the federal government, many people began to have other thoughts.
On 23 July, after receiving information from the Department of Intelligence that it had plotted against the governments of the two states, the North American Theater Command announced that it had accepted the autonomy declarations of Alabama and Georgia, openly stated that if the two states did not take hostile actions, the army would not attack the two states, and at the same time announced that all troops in the two states would be withdrawn to Louisiana and Florida, and the Air Force had also canceled its original bombing plan.
On 24 July, the reorganized First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group of the Royal Chinese Navy with two heavy aircraft carriers and one light aircraft carrier bombed Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, Newport and Norfolk for the first time, dropping a total of 5,320 bombs of various types during the 10-day bombardment, in addition to two Taiwan-class battleships, two Hebei-class battleships, and three Beijing-class battleships also used heavy artillery to bombard the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, including several cities, and fired a total of 15,500 shells. With a total tonnage of 6081 tons, it effectively destroyed the intensive bases of shipbuilding and heavy industry, including Portsmouth and Newport.
On the same day, the Chinese Navy's Second Aircraft Carrier Battle Group also concentrated on bombing Baltimore, Annapolis, and other places deep in the Chesapeake Bay.
On August 3, the Royal Chinese Navy aircraft carrier battle group, cruising off the Chesapeake Bay, bombed Washington for the first time, but did not drop bombs on the White House or the Capitol building.
The continuous bombing has plunged the whole United States into a huge panic, and when California and several southern states were occupied, most of the northerners in the United States did not feel any pain, because the estrangement caused by the Civil War had not been completely eliminated at this time, and the main industrial and agricultural industries in the United States were in the north, so it had not had much impact on their lives.
However, after the concentrated bombing of the Chesapeake Bay industrial area, the United States suddenly fell into difficulties, first of all, 70 percent of the shipbuilding industry, 90 percent of the naval facilities, 30 percent of the steel industry, and 20 percent of the light industry were all shrouded under the bomber's wing.
At the end of the 10-day bombing, the two aircraft carrier battle groups of the Chinese Navy temporarily ended their offensive, not because they did not want to fight, but because their ammunition began to run out.
On 6 August, the Chinese Prime Minister's Office and the Department of Defense issued a national proclamation, once again pointing the finger at the US federal government that started the war, and for the first time stating that they would end the war with the military and the army.
On the same day, the second batch of two Xiqin-class aircraft carriers, Yanguo and Wuyue, and one Xi'an-class Ningxia large cruiser, which had just completed sea trials, went to Panama with two shelling formations, Huolong and Huoyu, three Jilin-class battleships, three Dalian-class heavy cruisers, four Honolulu-class light cruisers, 12 destroyers, six supply ships, and 135 arms carriers laden with aviation ammunition, preparing to enter the Atlantic Ocean from there to replace the Nanchu aircraft carrier group and several capital ships that were being wounded in the Bermuda Islands. 【 I want: super fast update 】
On 10 August, a fourth bomber group of 110 large Thor bombers arrived in Los Angeles and arrived in Bermuda, which had just been captured, after a transfer in Houston.
The arrival of the Thor bomber meant that for the first time, the Air Force's large bombers could cover the eastern seaboard, including Washington, under a light load.
On 12 August, the 6th Division of the Royal Chinese Marine Corps and the 1st Division of the Cuban Army departing from Panama landed in Florida and joined the 2 advance infantry divisions of the 3rd Army in Jacksonville two days later.
On the same day, NADICF declared Florida the seventh U.S. state to enter military control, proclaiming that all local residents should not leave within 10 kilometers of their place of residence, and that any attempt to attack the military, damage transportation and public facilities, and undermine military control policies will be held accountable.
On 16 August, the Royal Chinese Navy formally signed a lease agreement with the Cuban Government on the Guantanamo Naval Base, according to which China will lease the Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba for 99 years, with the option of priority renewal after expiration, and the Chinese Government promised that during the lease period, Cuba's territory and national security will be guaranteed, and on the same day, it formally handed over to the Cuban Navy two captured Spanish-class battleships, four light cruisers, and 10 destroyers.
While the Chinese Imperial Air Force was flying like locusts over the east coast of the United States, the same storm was surging in Europe.
After receiving the news of Bermuda's victory, Europe detonated a giant nuclear bomb.
On July 27, after learning of the announcement of the end of the war by the Chinese Ministry of National Defense and the Prime Minister's Office, Wilhelm II, together with Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire, also announced that they would increase investment in the army and strive to end the war in the first half of 18.
On the same day, the Battle of Paris took a major turn, and Ludendorff and Hindenburg provoked a summer offensive, transferring 700,000 Austro-Hungarian ** troops to the periphery of Paris at a time when Italy was gradually withdrawing from the war.
In the early morning of the 28th, a total of 1.8 million German-Austrian troops, assisted by hundreds of aircraft, artillery and 400 tanks, broke through the Anglo-French defense line outside Dijon and advanced towards Lyon, an important town in central France.
On the 30th, the unstoppable German-Austrian army reached the periphery of Lyon, which also meant that the Battle of Paris ended in a complete defeat of the Entente, and after a total of 4.5 million combat troops, more than 5 million logistics and support personnel, and nearly 1.5 million casualties, it was declared bankrupt because of the defeat of Dijon.
Kitchener, who learned the news, had to return to the front line, and cooperated with the French generals to adopt the methods of withdrawing the main force, harassing along the way, and lengthening the German supply line, which had achieved the goal of attrition of the opponent.
On August 15, after losing nearly 500,000 elite soldiers in the Battle of Paris, the Germans not only did not take any rest, but quickly marched towards Tours under the strict orders of Wilhelm II.
At this point, the German-Austrian forces not only survived the difficult moment, but also advanced the front to the front line of Lyon and Tours in one fell swoop, announcing the loss of nearly half of France.
On August 17, a large-scale anti-war riot broke out in Bordeaux, the temporary seat of the French government, and unlike the previous civilian opposition parties, more than 2,000 soldiers were joined this time.
On August 19, Britain, which had always been known for its wartime endurance and stability, also broke out for the first time with large-scale nationwide anti-war demonstrations, and the Lloyd's George government was in jeopardy.
Tyumen.
From the Omsk fortress at the far end of the Trans-Siberian Railway Empire, there are still more than 100 kilometers to reach Tyumen, and if it were not for the plain terrain of Western Siberia, this section of the road might have become a difficult road.
Thanks to the efforts of hundreds of thousands of Russian prisoners of war who have not yet been released, the kilometer from Omsk to Tyumen has basically been built, and the feeder railway is under construction on the entire line. According to the plan of the Ministry of Communications, the empire will be based on the Siberian artery, extending a total of five main railways and seven branch lines, the first three main roads are the deep arteries to the Arctic Ocean, and the other two are from Urumqi to Tyumen and Kulen to the habitable Mansiysk in the northwest of the empire (after the war, the northwest should be the present-day Yamal Peninsula in Russia, but it is inaccessible and the weather is not suitable for the railway).
The Ministry of Communications was ambitious, and was bent on using the Siberian artery left by Russia to connect the whole of Western Siberia and Central Siberia with the interior of the empire by rail, and as for Eastern Siberia, they were not in a hurry. As for the three main roads and port facilities in the Arctic Ocean in the Arctic Ocean, the construction speed was slow due to weather and other reasons, but Li Mo was not in a hurry, after the war he had enough time to sort out the whole country, and he never stopped fighting for the virgin Arctic Ocean and Antarctica.
Near-Antarctic islands such as the King Edward Islands, the Crozier Islands, Kerguelen Island, and even South Georgia and the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) in the South Atlantic Ocean, which are similar to those in the southern Indian Ocean, have been included in the list of post-war must-haves, for which he prefers to give up some of his interests on the African continent.
In addition to taking advantage of the blank spot in the world to enclose the land first, he has even approached the ship design institute and asked to use the captured battleship to be transformed into a super-large icebreaker for long-term scientific investigations, but it is really a problem for how to drive the ship to its own territory in the Arctic Ocean and establish a base suitable for it.
Fortunately, there is no rush to do so.
Tyumen is the land that Li Mo has long wanted to encircle after returning to this world, and there are unimaginable oil and gas resources hidden underground. Of course, Li Mo didn't know his specific location, and the only thing he knew for sure was that he had been encircled into the country.
As for the development and utilization, there is no urgency for the time being, and like the United States in later generations, Li Mo does not like to exploit domestic resources too much, he likes to skim the offshore resources through international trade for his own use, but in order to promote the economic development of the border areas and accelerate the speed of domestic migration, the development of Tyumen and Western Siberia has been put on the agenda, but the plan of accelerating the development of Siberia made by the Prime Minister's Office has been shelved indefinitely.
Quite simply, the Central Siberian Plateau, including Lake Belga, is no longer a frontier on the map of the empire, but has become a central depth, and strengthening the protection of resources here and Eastern Siberia has become the unanimous idea of the top level of the empire under the long-term influence of Li Mo's later environmental resource protection thoughts, and even the parliament has begun to discuss how to protect these two places from too many human disturbances.
Ideology determines the future of the country, and the combination of the government with a foreign background in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the later Emperor Li provided a transcendent vision for the country, and the huge depth of the country also allowed the government to have enough land to house the rapidly growing population.
It's just that.
Because it was a private visit to the microservice, the Royal Janissary removed all external signs, so this convoy of dozens of armored vehicles did not attract much attention on the plains, after all, although there is no war here, but because of the turbulent situation in Russia, the Northwest Military District still maintains a military district of about 500,000 army and 100,000 National Guards, and even the air force has an aviation regiment stationed here.
Sitting in the shaking armored car, Li Mo's headache was the population.
After the Great War, the population of the vast whole of Siberia has only 700,000 left, most of whom live in Western Siberia, and among them are Slavic, Tatar and other ethnic minorities, and the proportion of Han Chinese is less than 5 percent, which is really not conducive to regional stability.
According to the preliminary plan, if Western Siberia wants to achieve stability, it must ensure that the Han Chinese account for 70%, that is, at least 3 million people must be moved, but because of the weather and other reasons, there are still too few people willing to come to Western Siberia, which is at opposite ends of the flock to Australia that has begun to appear, which is really a headache.
Therefore, Li Mo will not forget to come to Tyumen to inspect when the war has reached a critical stage.
"Your Majesty, we have arrived."
Under Du Dazhuang's call, Li Mo stepped out of the armored car under heavy protection, but the scene in front of him startled him.
This is sparsely populated Western Siberia?
Looking into the distance, on the entire Tyumen Plain, countless low wooden houses unique to Siberia are connected into a piece, which looks like a Canadian camp that Li Mo started back then, but the scale is a hundred times and a thousand times larger!
The entire plain is divided into 50 residential areas, each of which is divided by a tight barbed wire, and a road is formed between the barbed wire and the barbed wire, and even Du Dazhuang can see that there are at least more than 3 million people living here!
Moreover, all refugees!
Li Mo's face changed slightly.
Three million refugees are three million mouths, and even if they only get a small amount of food every day, they need to eat and drink, and this account alone makes him wonder if his original Russian policy is right.
If it were in the southern provinces, the government would be sure enough to feed the 3 million refugees, and even be able to raise them white, but this is Western Siberia, and it is difficult to be self-sufficient in production every year, and now there are so many mouths, isn't it life-threatening!
And so many people who do not belong to the empire have become a time bomb.
But the problem is that it will not work if it is not concentrated, and this is not the era when future generations can achieve strict monitoring of the border through high technology, once left unchecked in these years, let alone 3 million, I am afraid that tens of millions will pour into the border, and the vast and sparsely populated area determines that the military cannot be 100% blocked.
Li Mo began to have a headache.
