After the court discussion of the lakeside water pavilion, Li Fushou returned to the harem to wash up, and in the afterglow of the sunset, he walked along the lake refreshed, thinking about the current world situation.

Now the world war is coming to an end

The overall situation of the final victory of the Entente was immutable, and the overall situation of the complete disintegration of the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire was decided.

As in the previous historical period, the map of Europe, West Asia and North Africa will be turned upside down, and the Ottoman Empire alone will be divided into more than 40 countries across the Eurasian and African continents.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was divided into 10 countries, including the Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, Serbia, Montenegro, the Republic of Croatia, the Republic of Slovenia, the Republic of Macedonia, and the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Except for Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia, Europe is insignificant, and the new world pattern after the war will evolve and enter the stage of forming gangs.

The coming to power of the Russian Workers' Party has triggered a fierce civil war with a wide range of effects, which will inevitably lead to new changes in the situation in Europe.

Although the Imperial Expeditionary Force of one million was gathered in Europe, Li Fushou was most concerned about the situation in North America, and this point has always remained the same.

Europe is the core of the world stage, and the performance here helps to strengthen the world status of the ocean empire, enhance its influence in Europe, enhance the discourse on world affairs, and lay the foundation for a global power, which is the icing on the cake.

The situation in North America is related to the real opponent of the Ocean Empire in the next 50~100 years, and is related to the core strategic interests and future development space of the Empire, and its importance is incomparable.

After the Wool War

Imperial capital and influence entered South America in a big way, and it had already surpassed the United States to dominate South American affairs, and included South American countries into its own market, and achieved both economic and military expansion when Europeans had no time to take care of anything else.

The Western Pacific region, South Asia and Oceania, on the other hand, were the basis for the empire's economic expansion, with a huge population and market, and the empire's factories could be fed only in the homeland of China and Southeast Asia.

The world war allowed imperial goods to enter the European market unimpeded, greatly enhanced brand recognition and influence, expanded the reputation of Australian products, and laid a good market foundation.

But this good thing will come to an abrupt end after the war, and all kinds of visible and invisible trade barriers will have a serious impact on the empire's products exported to Europe.

Therefore, gaining a stable foothold in Europe was the basic aspiration of the Ocean Empire after the war.

At this stage, Li Fushou has established this foothold in Crimea, which is about to start large-scale construction after the war, and hundreds of thousands of local people have also been forcibly evicted due to the chaos of wartime, and some Chinese laborers have already arrived in Crimea, and everything is carried out step by step.

The next step is to take this land reasonably and legally.

From now on

The vast amount of goods of the Ocean Empire will be transferred from Crimea to the countries bordering the Black Sea, including Russia, and to eastern and central Europe.

To engage in trade protection, you must have strength.

If one or two small European countries that don't open their eyes jump out and jump, they just set an example for the monkey and beat him without discussion.

Arguably

Crimea is the big horn that the oceanic empire placed in Europe, conveying influence and imperial majesty, and dumping products in Eastern and Central Europe, which is a very important foothold.

Otherwise, over a long distance, the voice transmitted by the Ocean Empire to Europe will become very small, and its influence will not be on the same level.

Li Fushou considered that after the war, the Ocean Empire and the British Empire would form a global de facto competitive relationship, and that there would be sharp contradictions in the competition between the British pound and the golden ocean in the international financial field, the competition in the military field of maritime power, and the competition in the circle of friends in the political and economic fields.

Then, the relations of the Ocean Empire with Europe will be based on the reconstruction of Germany, forming two diplomatic bases against Germany and France, and co-opting the Italians and isolating the British.

The Ocean Empire now ranks among the top in the world in terms of economic and military strength, and it already has the strength to wrestle with the British and win over some friendly European countries.

It's just a question of more and less, not of have.

The influence of the British in Europe is not as great as imagined, and they are not the masters of everyone's love, if it were not for the German spearhead in the way, the French would have to fall out with the British in the first place.

Four years have passed since the outbreak of the World War, and more than 3.3 million French citizens have flowed into the empire, of which more than 70 percent are women fleeing the war, the rest are elderly and children, and less than half are adult men.

The influx of so many French women into the empire and the establishment of new families here became the bond of close ties between the two countries, which was the basis for the establishment of close and friendly relations between the two countries.

White French also surpassed white Germans to become the largest minority in the empire, known as the French.

Li Fushou is quite satisfied with the current population structure of the Ocean Empire, in a total of 108 million people, the Tang nationality accounts for 91.1% of the absolute proportion, the white people account for 8.82%, about 9.3 million people, the East Indies indigenous population is less than 700,000, scattered in the Pacific Islands, Luzon Islands and Sumatra Island, which has become a useful supplement to the multi-ethnic structure.

Somalia, Mozambique and Madagascara have become the second, third and fourth regions in Africa without black people, and have achieved a comprehensive Chinese population.

The first is Morocco in North Africa, where the population is all white.

The Ocean Empire has industrialized in Somalia and Mozambique, and after so many years of development, Madagascar has reached more than 700,000 Chinese people.

The island's economy is dominated by agriculture and planting, and under the strong demand of the world war, agriculture and planting have made great progress, forming farms based on large and small plantation economies, and establishing a series of agricultural product processing plants and oil mills, with good development prospects.

After the Strait Province, located at the southernmost tip of South America, was incorporated into the empire, the Chinese immigrant population also reached more than 230,000, and a small number of processing industries were established mainly in the transportation, shipbuilding and agricultural and animal husbandry industries.

The worst developed is Alaska, which was bought from the United States, which is located on the edge of the Arctic Circle and has an extremely cold climate, with more than 9 months of the year below 0 degrees, and even minus 57 degrees Celsius at the coldest time.

Many of the immigrants who arrived here were unable to stand the extreme cold climate and moved to the states of the North American Governors' Palace, and the permanent population today is only 33,700.

The Imperial Colony has abandoned colonization in Alaska, a place that is too cold and costly.

After the World War

Competition between countries will shift from military to economic and political influence, consolidating their traditional market scope, and participating in the European market will become a general trend.

In this magnificent historical process, Li Fushou didn't want to see the figure of the Mi Guoyan, and the experience from the past and present life told him;

At all times, the Mi Guokees are a formidable opponent.

Therefore, constantly suppressing, containing, and splitting the rice country has become the unremitting national policy of the Ocean Empire, and it has always been.

With the strength of the country today, the population is about 40 million, which is not much worse, and the economic strength is only one-third of the heyday, and the immigration from Europe has also greatly decreased in the case of years of war.

Many European immigrants resented the war and chose to travel to the Republic of California, the Federal Republic of the South, and the Republic of Virginia, as well as the fledgling Republic of Florida, and a small number to the Governor's Territory in North America.

The country is now torn apart, but Li Fushou is still not at ease in his heart.

Looking at the territory of the United States today, there are still world-class heavy chemical industry clusters led by the Great Lakes region, and world-class first-tier cities such as New York, Philadelphia, and Detroit cannot be underestimated.

Judging from the situation of this year's general election, the hard-line Elephant Party presidential candidate William Taft has won big victories in all the districts that have been announced, and will enter the Philadelphia White House strongly.

Taft was the Secretary of War under President Roosevelt, and in the original historical time and space, Taft was the successor president, but due to the severe impact of the Wool War, Taft lost the election to his opponent of the Donkey Party.

Now, history is returning to its original trajectory in its own way, and William Taft will take the throne of the White House with the expectations of the people.

However, the United States today is no longer the United States of 10 years ago, the mountains and rivers are broken, the wars are continuous, a large number of factories are bankrupt and closed, food and other materials are seriously strained, social contradictions are acute, and there are foreign forces that are constantly arching the fire, fueling the momentum of separatism.

Such a mess, whoever takes it has a headache.

Li Fushou would never give William Taft a chance to smoothly integrate the United States, and while the war between the United States and Japan was raging, he was already planning his next opportunity.

Judging by the current course of the war in North America

It was difficult for Fuso to make remarkable progress in the war for the middle of North America.

The U.S. military's carefully built tank and armored units inflicted heavy losses on the main force of the Japanese army, while the well-trained Japanese army had a crushing advantage over the Shangmi militia, and the two sides formed a dynamic balance.

Wherever the American army was defeated, the tank armored units went to fight the fire, defeat the Japanese army pursuing the victory, and save the precarious situation.

The vast Great Plains of the central United States is a battlefield where armored tank units can roam freely, and in a single day, armored troops can maneuver 120 kilometers and become firefighters. The Japanese army had no solution to the US tank forces, and the US army had no solution to the Japanese attack.

Without a strong fortress defense, the American troops were crushed at the touch of the Japanese army, and they were no match at all.

However, the momentum of the Japanese attack did not appear so sharp after repeated setbacks.

This made Li Fushou very disappointed, it is really that the mountains will fall, and the water will flow!

It's really not good, you have to pick up and pick up yourself to go into battle in person, and the battle will be decided.
