Chapter 1045 Core Idea
"Is there any movement in North America?"
"Your Majesty, at the request of the Imperial War Department, a military skills contest has been launched throughout the army, and the North American garrison has recently strengthened various actual combat and military skill drills, which has aroused great uneasiness and uncertainty on both sides of the United States and Japan. After the war in North America is over, the intentions of the imperial side are being inquired about through various channels. ”
"Huh...... Let the diplomatic department do a good job of dispelling doubts and doubts, and don't worry about the imperial army, let go and continue to fight. ”
"Wechen understands and sends a clear signal as soon as possible."
"Well, Kaizhi, you have to remember that neither the United States nor Japan are fuel-efficient lamps, especially the United States, which has a vast territory and a deep industrial base, was once the world's largest economic power, and is the country that poses the most serious threat to the imperial hegemony in the entire Pan-Pacific region, and there is no one." Speaking of this, Li Fushou stared at Gu Kaizhi's face with both eyes, and instructed with a serious expression;
"In the geopolitical competition between countries, any pity and intolerance is a crime against one's own nation and country, and it is an unforgivable grave crime.
The outbreak of the Second US-Japan War interrupted the strategic attempt of the United States to take advantage of the golden opportunity of the world war to rapidly expand its own economy and get rid of the heavy shackles imposed by the wool war, which was of great significance.
Many people in the political and economic circles in Europe and the United States may now be troubled by the appearance of the current world war or the second war between the United States and Japan.
Over time, you will be able to figure out the flavor.
But so what?
Once the precious historical opportunity is missed, it will not come again and again, and the United States has lost the best opportunity to rise and wasted too many opportunities given by history.
Judging from the comparison of bilateral economic power between the Ocean Empire and the United States at the time of the outbreak of the Wool War, the difference is very obvious.
At that time, the population of the United States was as high as 88.9 million, the population of the empire was more than 64 million, the economic scale of the empire was 74.1 percent of that of the United States, and the main battleships of the United States Navy were as high as 22, while our side had only 13 ships.
After the Empire's victory in the Wool War, the situation changed dramatically.
The population of the empire has grown to more than 76 million, and the population of the dismembered country has plummeted to more than 59.7 million, and the population size of the empire has surpassed.
In the economic field, the overall size of the empire surpassed that of the United States for the first time, and then surpassed Germany to rank first in the world, and the strength of the army and navy was comprehensively strengthened, truly establishing the hegemony of the pan-Pacific region.
After six years of peace, stability, and development, the empire's population has now grown to more than 97 million people, and it has the opportunity to break through the 100 million population mark by the end of this year, achieving a historic leap.
However, the first and second wars between the United States and Japan broke out in North America in succession, the national economic development and population growth were greatly affected, and a rare historical opportunity period was missed.
If the losses of this ongoing war are calculated, the total population of the United States is less than 66 million.
The United States has just carried out the third general mobilization for war, and the overall social and economic development that has just been restored has once again changed to wartime, and the repeated wars have already interrupted the normal pace of social development in the United States, and the serious harm caused is still not visible, and it still needs time to observe.
But to be sure, the impact will never be rosy.
You will be exposed to some extremely secret shady scenes, including not limited to British and Imperial support for separatist forces in the south of the United States, extremists and white supremacists, and perhaps other insider stories that may be contrary to your long-standing governance philosophy.
But from the perspective of international geopolitics, it is enough for a weakened and non-dominant country to have a more moderate and non-aggressive foreign policy, which is in line with the interests of Britain, France and the Empire, and in line with the needs of the current international order.
Do you understand? ”
The emphasis is on establishing the central idea of national interests, and the position of the secretary general of the royal family is equivalent to that of the inner minister, and when the family members must maintain a high degree of consistency with the saint in this regard, otherwise there will definitely be big problems.
Gu Kaizhi's expression carefully digested this confession, and after a while, he clasped his hands into fists and said; "Returning to the saint, Kaizhi is determined to follow in your footsteps in this life, loyal to the royal family, loyal to the nation, this ambition can be seen in the sky. The people of the foreign country are not of my race, and their hearts will be different, and they will never be kind to women when they should start, and they will be smiling and generous. Please be enlightened. ”
"Very good, Kaizhi, you have been working by my side for a long time, I still understand your temperament, everything is thoughtful, and you have a big picture of the situation. But it is precisely because of this that you lose decisiveness, so your strengths are precisely your weaknesses, and you need to introspect them. ”
"The saint mentions it, Kai Zhi is grateful, but he is conscientious."
"Hmm......" Li Fushou responded.
As the helmsman of the imperial secretariat, Gu Kaizhi has a lot of important matters that need to be decided in the future, and if he can hand over a satisfactory answer, he is expected to be in charge of the court in the future.
Otherwise, at most the qualifications of a cabinet member or chancellor of the exchequer.
After explaining the core essence of state-to-state relations, the specific affairs in the future will follow this concept, and Gu Kaizhi will grasp the proportions and implement them one by one.
If you have to ask for instructions on everything, wouldn't Li Fushou be so busy?
He has now begun to decentralize, consciously or unconsciously, to foster greater independence from the Cabinet, Parliament and the Royal Secretariat, to get rid of their bad habit of asking for advice on everything, and to increase their autonomy.
He outlined Jianzhi and explained, without asking about specific matters, and seeing that Gu Kaizhi was still standing aside and wanted to report, he frowned and asked; "What else?"
"Returning to the Holy Authority, the highest military intelligence report of the Political Intelligence Bureau; It seems that the German Imperial High Seas Fleet has recently made major moves, and due to the very high level of secrecy, no specific military plan has been detected. But what is certain is that this military plan must exist, the purpose is to break the blockade of the British Royal Navy on the European continent, and it will definitely be implemented within 2~3 months. ”
"Got it, let's find out."
"Obey"
Gu Kaizhi bowed down to receive the order, and then left in a hurry.
He also needs to hand over affairs with Cai Tinggan, the former head of the Secretariat, and the affairs involving the Secretariat are complicated, and there are no ten days and half a month that cannot be handed over in any case, plus the current affairs on his body, it can be said that he is really busy.
Li Fushou didn't need to read the secret report of the Political Intelligence Bureau to know what the Germans were planning?
Could it be that the Battle of Jutland is going to go on as scheduled?
The rise of the ocean empire out of thin air has had a significant impact on the development of the navy in the current era, and the advanced radio rangefinder was the first to be applied in naval warfare, and has proved its irreplaceable value in the previous naval battles that defeated the United States navy.
It has been more than ten years since the invention of radio ranging, and the relevant advanced technology has flowed into Britain, France, Germany and other countries, and has been equipped with first-line naval vessels.
Fortunately, the first generation of technology was supplied to Britain, France and other countries, and the Germans also obtained the first generation of radio ranging technology, which could not shake the advanced position of the Royal Navy of the Ocean Empire in this field.
The radio rangefinder equipment used by the Royal Navy of the Ocean Empire has been developed to the second generation of ranging radar, and it is linked with the main gun drive motor equipment of the ship, which makes the real-time ranging more accurate, the response speed is faster, and the artillery strike power is more powerful.
Related cutting-edge technologies are still subject to a technological blockade on countries such as Japan and the United States.
How could this cutting-edge technology flow into Germany, it can only be blamed on the defection of German technicians, the Germans are really jealous of this cutting-edge technology, and they have been planning to steal the relevant technology for a long time, and they finally succeeded.
Whether there are other shady scenes in this, no one knows.
