Australia, Daming Palace.

At the weekly cabinet members' routine audience with the emperor, Li Fushou took out a private message from the two Russian princesses in Vladivostok asking for help, handed it to Prime Minister Zhang Li and said; "You take this letter back and leave it to the diplomatic department at its discretion."

As soon as the saint said this, Prime Minister Zhang Li knew in his heart, this is the attitude of asking for official business, he took the letter respectfully with both hands, unfolded it and quickly skimmed it and replied; "Wechen immediately transferred it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, put pressure on the Russian side through the Moscow Embassy, and arranged for the Political Intelligence Bureau to investigate the news, and strive to hear back as soon as possible."

"Well, just show your attitude." Li Fushou replied indifferently.

I don't know which fool instigated the two princesses to come up with this bad idea?

The pressure exerted by the Ocean Empire will cause the Russian workers' power to be highly vigilant, believing that this is an unreasonable interference in Russia's internal affairs and an infringement of national sovereignty by the imperialists, and it will inevitably respond violently.

No, the death knell of Nicholas II was sounded in advance.

This is by no means alarmist, and the question of the abdication of the tsar has never been a private issue, but a major issue concerning state power.

As the general leader and spiritual totem of the all-Russian royalist rebels, Nicholas II existed for a day, and the white army had the backbone of the white army, and the rebellion would intensify and endlessly.

It's a pity that the two princesses who are not deeply involved in the world don't know how powerful they are, and Nicholas II can live a little longer if he survives, but now......

Li Fushou had no intention of pursuing these trivial matters, and the situation in Tsarist Russia was not the focus of his attention, but the first thing he paid attention to was the situation in North America, especially the just-concluded battle on the Northern Front.

To say that the Japanese are really ruthless, they have gathered 500,000 heavy troops on the northern front, and it has been more than 5 months since they confronted the million-strong army of the United States.

During this period, there were victories and defeats, and apart from an increase in casualties, no major breakthroughs were achieved.

Who knew that the Fuso people prepared a secret move, taking advantage of the slack of the US military on the northern front, armed more than 200,000 veterans from nearly 2 million Japanese immigrants, bypassed the northern frontal defense line of the United States and attacked Omaha, and then broke through the northern defense line in one fell swoop, and then captured Davenport, which is now approaching Chicago, an important city in the Great Lakes region.

After the war, nearly half of the millions of American troops were lost, including more than 167,300 dead and wounded, more than 200,000 prisoners, and more than 43,000 missing and escaped.

The U.S. military lost countless weapons and equipment, and a large number of artillery, tanks, armored vehicles and supplies were captured by the Japanese army, experiencing an unprecedented defeat.

The new President Taft came to the front line of Chicago and called on all the people of the United States to take up arms to join the army, save the world, and fight the Japanese army to the end.

in the final analysis

It is because the great plain in the middle of the country is endless, there is no danger to follow, and the roads extend in all directions, as long as you take a few more detours, you can avoid the heavy defense zone of the US army, which is extremely unfavorable to the defending side.

Field warfare is the Achilles' heel of the US army, and there will always be times when it cannot be saved by relying only on tank and armored units to fight fires everywhere.

In this battle, Fusang also made a bloody investment.

The 200,000-strong mobile strike group of old devils stormed Omaha, and then counterattacked the back of the American Northern Front, charging and fighting along the way, and after a bloody battle, they conquered Davenport, directly threatening Chicago, a large city with a population of one million in the Great Lakes region.

In this battle, the Japanese mobile corps lost more than 110,000 experienced old devils, of which more than 40,000 were killed and more than 70,000 were wounded.

According to the strong tradition of the Japanese side not being able to get out of the firing line with minor injuries, at least half of the more than 70,000 wounded were never able to go to the battlefield again after recovering from their wounds, and the losses were not insignificant.

However, the battle was equally brilliant, breaking through the heavily garrisoned northern defense line of the American army in one fell swoop, and spreading the war to the industrial core of the Great Lakes.

The brutality of the Japanese army has always been known to the world, and after occupying dozens of cities around the Great Lakes region, the North American dispatch army indulged soldiers in burning, killing and looting, raping and plundering local white women, killing civilians, and causing one heinous bloody case after another.

Now that the situation in the United States is critical, Li Fushou has put down his heart;

Fusang's dog is fierce enough, and he spares no effort to bite the country, it's time to loosen the dog chain and give some benefits.

It seems that the old devil Youpeng in Shan County finally understands that if you want to stay in the occupied areas of North America and live a good life, you have to keep biting the rice guys, don't make any small calculations.

After the tragic defeat of the US army, the news of the brutality and wreaking havoc of the Japanese army came, and under the influence of public opinion, it caused great panic among the people in the central and eastern regions, and they fled one after another with their families.

West Virginia has a population of about 2.31 million, nearly a million of whom fled eastward to the Republic of Virginia, and in New York Harbor, people rushing to flee from the country crowded passenger liners to the southern republics, the Pacific coast of the Republic of California, and the four states of the North American Governor's Office.

The Panama Canal has already been opened, and it takes only five days for migrant passenger ships to arrive in San Francisco, Republic of California, and seven and a half days to Seattle or Newport.

Immigrants who have left the country are fed up with the nuisance of war, they have too many relatives who have died in the war, and they just want a peaceful and peaceful life, not something to fight for America?

The weakness of the poor cohesion of the immigrant states is laid bare at this moment, and European immigrants came to the North American continent only to find a better life and escape the war in Europe, rather than to fight to the end for the United States.

When the end of the war seemed far away, many people gave up on holding on and wisely chose to leave.

This situation is exactly what Li Fushou wants to see.

The chaos in North America has attracted great attention from Britain, France, Italy and other Entente countries, and they have successively exerted pressure on Fuso, asking it to accept it when it sees it, restrain its army, and not continue to occupy the territory of the United States and commit atrocities indiscriminately.

At the beginning of the World War, the Japanese declared war on Germany under the Anglo-Japanese Alliance Treaty, and sent troops to capture the fortress of Qingdao, a German colony on the Jiaodong Peninsula, and took it for themselves.

In the years that followed, the Japanese ignored Britain's request to send troops to Europe to participate in the war, and blindly expanded its aggression in North America to conquer more territory.

Such an act has seriously deviated from Britain's expectations and damaged Britain's global strategic layout, which has made London angry.

In terms of advanced ship manufacturing technology, Britain has imposed sanctions on Fuso, prohibiting the export of advanced ship power equipment and technology, prohibiting the export of large-caliber naval guns above 305 mm, prohibiting the export of large ship construction technology, drawings and related technologies, and prohibiting the export of advanced industrial forging technology......

Britain and Japan are drifting farther and farther apart, especially on the North American issue, which has become an irreversible trend.

France, Italy and other major Allied powers were also reluctant to see Fuso's influence in North America, especially after the traditional French North American colony of Louisiana (a total of more than 3.6 million square kilometers, covering the territory of 14 states) was involved in the war, and France's attitude became more hawkish.

The interests of the descendants of the expatriates of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and other countries in the region were damaged, and the Japanese army's brutal and wanton behavior aroused their great anger.

For the Fuso people, who have always attached great importance to their international image and hoped to be recognized by the international community, this is simply a naked humiliation and even more unacceptable, and the rift in international relations is getting deeper and deeper.

The current situation was unstoppable for the Japanese army, and after conquering Davenport and other important cities in the Great Lakes region, they were only one step away from threatening the million-population metropolis of Chicago.

If you continue north

The strategic importance of capturing the Michigan cities of Milwaukee and Green Bay on the shores of the Great Lakes and thus having the Atlantic Ocean as a shipping port in the Great Lakes region cannot be overemphasized.

Chicago and Detroit, both important cities in the Great Lakes region, are located on the shore of the lake, relying on developed water and land transportation, which can easily import or export industrial products at home and abroad for international trade.

And this unique geographical location is exactly what the Japanese side covets and wants to obtain.

As long as it captures Milwaukee or Green Bay, or Chicago, a metropolis of more than 2 million people, Fuso is equivalent to taking a golden doll, and its heavy industry and economic power have increased dramatically.

Think about it with your toes, the people of Fuso don't want to accept it when they see it!

Now is not the time to entrench in Kansas City, the Japanese side has paid a heavy price, defeated a million American troops on the northern front, and is about to reap the rich dividends of the war.

Just like a hungry wolf guarding food, whoever wants to interrupt this process, Fusang will bite whomever he wants, and it doesn't work if the special king Lao Tzu comes.

In Li Fushou's original plan, Fusang was not allowed to get out of control, and the bottom line was not to allow it to have a port to go to sea, and it was not allowed to attack the Great Lakes region.

In the event of such a danger, the Imperial side will use emergency interventions, including but not limited to directly entering the war with neighboring countries to strike at the Japanese army.

However, that is only a preset position, which changes with the changes in the international situation, and is not an established national policy.

If the Japanese army had achieved such an achievement last year, the European theater of the world war at that time was in an extremely anxious state, Britain, France, Italy and other countries could not intervene, and the Ocean Empire would have to roll up its sleeves and go out of the field and unite the United States, the Southern Federation, Virginia, Florida and the Republic of California to besiege the Japanese army in order to stop the crazy expansion of its power.

Now it's different

Although the Entente lost the war on the Eastern Front, they prepared a huge "showdown military operation" on the Western Front in Europe, mobilizing more than 4.7 million troops and attacking Germany in three directions.

The military plan is in full swing of preparations, and is expected to be formally implemented in August ~ September, breaking through the "Hindenburg Line" prepared by the German High Command in one fell swoop, and ending this super-large-scale war that has lasted for five years.

It's mid-April, and it's not much time before the scheduled operation is in full swing.

It is precisely because Britain, France, Italy, and other countries are confident that they still have the ability to start sending troops to intervene in the situation in Russia, and they also have the energy to reprimand the Japanese army for their arbitrary and reckless behavior, ordering it not to continue to expand in North America, and ordering it to strictly restrain the army from killing the people and acting recklessly.

In a word, the old state has reverted!

The arrogance of Europeans in their bones has never looked down on the Japanese people, and they can't bear the fact that the short Fuso soldiers scourge the white people, commit adultery and plunder, and do all kinds of evil, which is simply a slap in the face of the white country, how can it be embarrassing?

The situation is different a year ago and a year later, and under the new situation, the countermeasures of the Ocean Empire should not continue to restrict Fuso, but should relax some of the restrictions so that it can grow faster.

Of course, this does not include the high-tech blockade of the heavy chemical industry, the blockade of advanced technology in shipbuilding and metallurgy, the blockade of advanced technology in forging, and the blockade of electronics, machinery, advanced machine tools and equipment, and aircraft engine manufacturing......

The Ocean Empire implements strict secrecy and a patent system in advanced technology, reserves reservations to European and American countries, strictly prohibits the outflow of high-end technology, and has taken quite strict measures to formulate the "Export Technology Control Law".

All the contents that fall under the "Export Technology Control Law" are strictly confidential, and the outflow is strictly prohibited, and the punishment for violators is extremely serious, second only to the crime of treason.

In terms of economic policy, the Ocean Empire is not the liberal capitalism represented by Britain and the United States, but is dominated by large and medium-sized enterprise groups controlled by the royal family and the government, which can be called the state capitalist system.

The difference is that compared with the former, the empire has more in-depth control over the industrial economy and technology, with greater control and greater policy influence, avoiding most disorderly and repetitive competition, effectively saving social resources, and developing more efficiently.

In the field of scientific research, the Ocean Empire has established a scientific research fund support policy led by the government and the royal family, and has given birth to a large number of world-class electronic and electrical appliances, mechanical metallurgy, automobile manufacturing, heavy chemical industry complete sets of equipment and other technologies, laying a solid advanced technology foundation for the Ocean Empire to surpass Britain, France, the United States and Germany.

Especially in the rapidly developing electronic and electrical industry, the complete set of AC power transmission and transformation equipment technology led by Professor Tesla, the medical and microelectronic semiconductor technology developed by Professor Rutherford's research results, and the construction of heavy water plant, a major scientific and technological project based on Marie Curie's nuclear physics research results, are all world-leading scientific and technological achievements.

The policy of the Ocean Empire has always been to sell products rather than technology, and through the patent war after the Wool War, it completely destroyed the automobile industry in the early stage of development.

In this field, the technological level is 20 years ahead of Europe, forming an undoubted industrial advantage.

The old automobile companies such as French Logo, Italian Fiat, British Rust, etc., all rely on the import of advanced engines, gearboxes and rear axle drive axles and other important components from the Ocean Empire, and rely on the import of tires, rubber shock absorbing pads, door frame rubber and other parts from the Ocean Empire.

The cars, trucks and buses produced by the Ocean Empire account for more than eighty and a half percent of the world's output, and have undoubted technological and monopoly advantages, making it one of the world's leading industries in the Ocean Empire.

Under the double blow of imported cars and patent wars, the automobile industry in the United States has been completely controlled by the automobile manufacturers of the Ocean Empire and has become uncompetitive.

It can only be planned to produce products that are a generation behind in the United States, and all the key components are imported from the Ocean Empire, which has become a large automobile assembly manufacturer and lost its core competitiveness.
