Chapter 546: The Final Ending (Part II)

"Huo Hu, how is the war in the Indochina Peninsula?" Since Huo Shi took over the government affairs of the entire Yanhuang Empire according to Huo Shan's arrangement, Huo Hu was promoted to deputy chief of general staff, directly responsible to Huo Shan. =

"Young master, there are less than 10,000 French colonial troops left in Annan, and they have retreated to Saigon, and now they are surrounded by Liu Wenqi's Fourth Division, I believe that the war in Annan will be ended in less than a week!"

"Cambodia has been liberated in its entirety. The northern part of Thailand has been completely controlled by us, and just in order to paralyze the British, the General Staff deliberately asked Qian Han's 41st Division to slow down, and according to the plan, it will be able to end the war in Thailand in two months at most. ”

"The war in Myanmar is the same as the war in Thailand, but in half a year at the latest, the countries of the Indochina Peninsula will be able to liberate the whole territory!" Huo Hu excitedly said.

Hearing this, Huo Shan nodded, and after thinking for a while, he ordered: "Let the 44th Division of Malaysia fight steadily, the British are not so easy to deal with." And don't touch Singapore just yet!"

"I see, young master!"

"By the way, you inform Huo Wolf and let the Military Intelligence Bureau worry more, the Ottomans and the Russians have been facing off for too long, it's time for them to warm up!"

"Remember, pick on the grumpy and don't let our people be exposed!"

"Understood, young master!"

Seeing Huo Hu nodding, Huo Shan waved his hand and asked him to retreat.

The grumpy polar bear is not a good-natured character, and Huo Shan does not want to settle the Qing Dynasty when they go south from the north. It is believed that there were Ottomans as opponents. Able to make these grumpy guys converge a little.

As for whether his plan can succeed, Huo Shan is not worried at all.

Because the Ottoman army has long had secret agents planted by the Huo family, it is believed that as long as a few more Russian soldiers are killed on the border. It will certainly be able to provoke a revolt in the entire Russian Empire.

The current Russian Empire is not the Russian Empire of World War I, they are now called the 'European Gendarmes' and the third in the world in the navy, and the confidence of the army has risen to the extreme after defeating Napoleon's invasion. Such an adversary, even if the British are against them, they have to win over their allies.

Coupled with the victories of the previous Russian-Turkish wars, according to the bold character of the Russians, as long as the Turks provoke the slightest, this group of polar bears will definitely pounce immediately.

They have been longing for an outlet to the Mediterranean Sea for hundreds of years.

Now the British are again mired in the Egyptian war. This is simply the best time to expand Russia's territory, and Alexander III is an ambitious fellow, and I believe he will not let go of such an opportunity.

..................

March 1889. The Qing court, which had obtained a large number of advanced weapons from Britain and France, rebuilt the Jiangbei camp, but Huo Shan no longer left his hands, and all the base areas of the northern provinces of the Huo family army launched a sharp offensive.

At the same time, the Yan and Huang Empire had 400,000 troops. All across the river. Cooperate with the Huojia army in Jiangsu-Suzhou, An-Hui, He-Nan and other places to surround the camp in Jiangbei, so that the more than 600,000 troops gathered by the Qing court again were completely defeated.

On two occasions, the Jiangbei battalion exhausted the treasury of the Qing court, and also emptied the local troops with some combat strength.

So the rest of the war went smoothly, but in just a month, the whole north changed color.

The Aixin Jueluo royal family, who originally left the Qing government and fled north, as well as Cixi and other Manchu royal families, were captured by the soldiers of the Huojia Army in the Hebei base area, which had long been under the net.

May 8, 1889. The Yan and Huang Empire planted its national flag at the head of the Forbidden City, and at the same time announced the end of the Qing Dynasty, which had ruled China for more than 200 years.

"See Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, long live it!"

After Huo Shan walked into the Jinluan Hall and sat down on the dragon chair, everyone in the audience said respectfully.

"Hmm!" Looking at the people who bowed down, Huo Shan nodded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today, our original goal has finally been achieved! However, we can't be complacent, now that the entire Yanhuang Empire has just been established, there are still too many things for us to deal with. ”

"Song Sheng, you are the Minister of Finance, how much wealth have we looted now?" Huo Shan asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Liang Dunyan hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, now the Ministry of Finance has received 2,850 tons of gold, 830 million taels of silver, and other treasures, jade, antiques, and house title deeds from various troops!"

After listening, Huo Shan nodded.

"This money is the people's fat and people's ointment that the Qing government has looted for many years, you must plan well and make good use of it!"

"Yes!"

"Huo Shi?"

"In!"

"Well, there are about 500,000 of these Manchurians in the north-capital, and most of them are industrious and discouraged. They need to carry out hard labor reform, let them go to the Americas to open up the wasteland and farm!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"By the way, there are also local rotten people, lawless landlords, ruffians, beggars, etc., all send them to the Americas to open up wasteland and farm, or go to Africa. ”

"In addition, all brothels, gambling houses, and opium parlors in the country should be banned, and all those who mingle in the gambling halls and smoke opium will immigrate to the Americas or African territories with their families. ”

"Your Majesty, isn't this too harsh? We have just established the country, and it is very easy to shake the foundation of the country by implementing such a strict policy. Moreover, there are at least tens of millions of people participating in gambling in the country, so we can't move them all away!" Huo Shi said with a bitter face.

"Well, you're right, so be it! Everything else remains the same, the Ministry of the Interior will cooperate with the inspection to screen out those old gamblers and relocate!"

"Obey!" Huo Shi hurriedly replied.

"Your Majesty, dare to ask what to do with the former Qing officials who have been arrested by us?" Huo Yu, who had just become the Minister of the Interior, asked out of the ranks.

After hearing this, Huo Shan thought for a while, and then spoke: "These former Qing officials, except for a few enlightened people, most of them have outdated ideas and are not of great use. Let them emigrate with their families!"

Although, among these former Qing officials, there are many talents like Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang. But they have been officials for many years, and they are full of the kind of wise self-preservation and struggle for power and profit in the officialdom in the past. The old habit of not wanting to make progress. Huo Shan didn't want them to pollute the government talents he had cultivated with great difficulty!

In addition, the current domestic population is too dense, the immigrant population in the Americas is still lacking, and the Han population in the African territory is not yet more than half, in order to stabilize the rule of the Huo Jiajun in these places, a large number of immigrants are necessary. Moreover, it can only continue when the country was founded. Only then did I have the opportunity to use such forceful means to emigrate, otherwise I would have waited for the country to stabilize and do so. It will definitely set off monstrous waves and affect social stability and economic order, which Huoshan does not allow.

"Your Majesty, are both Lord Li Hongzhang and Lord He Jing also going to emigrate?" asked Huo Yu.

These two are Huo Shan's in-laws. It is also commonly known as a foreign relative.

"Immigration. As the national ruler, they are role models, and they all want to emigrate!" Huo Shan said in an affirmative tone.

After listening to Huo Shan's words, the few people who were originally going to speak also stopped talking.

"By the way, there are also criminals in prison, after the retrial, the acquitted will be released, and the guilty will be sent to Youzhou......!"

Wait until Huo Shan issued a number of executive orders. I asked about the battle situation in the north!

"Your Majesty, according to the report of the thirty-sixth division stationed on the Mongolian border. The Second Cossack Cavalry Division of the Russian Far Eastern Military District has broken through the border and headed south many times, and the Far Eastern Military District is also transferring troops, which seems to have the intention of going south!" Huo Hu said with a serious expression.

"Oh, it seems that the Russians are still not honest!"

"In this way, the General Staff immediately drew up a plan to increase troops, increase troops in the northeast, Mongolia, and northwest directions, and hoard war materials, and once the Russians cross the border, then resolutely fight back! Let them know that we are not a weak Qing government!"

............

On July 6, 1889, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma and Laos established the Federal Republic of Indochina. On 6 August, Malaysia joined the coalition.

In 1890, the border friction between the nascent Yanhuang Empire and the Russian Empire developed into war. The two sides fought to the death around the tens of thousands of miles of border.

The war lasted for nearly five years before it came to an end, and nearly six million square kilometers east of the Yenisei River were assigned to the Yanhuang Empire.

With the economic and industrial development of the Yanhuang Empire, the consciousness of the domestic ethnic group gradually awakened, and the call for the abolition of unequal treaties within the people and the government became higher and higher.

As a result, the relationship between the entire Yanhuang Empire and Western powers such as Britain and France became more and more tense and irreconcilable.

After nearly 10 years of preparation, the national strength of the entire Yanhuang Empire is already very strong, and Huo Shan is also ready to show his tough hand to the whole world.

In February 1901, more than 10,000 people of the 18th Division stationed in Fujian marched into Hong Kong and Macao. Subsequently, Huo Shi, the prime minister of the Yanhuang Empire, announced the abrogation of all unequal treaties.

The news spread, and the whole world was in an uproar. Only Germany opened its mouth to agree, and by this time, the Anglo-German contradiction was already very acute.

The hard-line actions of the Yanhuang Empire immediately made Britain, which was accustomed to being the world boss, very unhappy, and there were more and more people in the House of Commons clamoring for war.

On June 8, 1901, British Prime Minister The Marquess of Salisbury signed an order declaring war on the Yanhuang Empire.

In order to defeat the Yan and Huang Empire's already weak navy and reassert the British presence in the Far East, the British Empire sent its largest fleet in history, the Sovereign-class battleships 'Sovereign', 'Royal Oak', 'Dreadsome', 'Hood', 'Emperor of India', 'Pavrel'-class 'Bafleur', Prestige-class 'Prestige', Majestic-class 'Majestic', 'Noble', 'Prince George', 'Jupiter', 'Mars', and the old man's star 'Asterisk'', which had just been in service for a short time 'Giant' and 'Ocean', a total of 15 powerful battleships, but these fifteen battleships alone had a displacement tonnage of 250,000 tons. If you add other cruisers of the first class, cruisers of the second class, and cruisers of the third class, this time the British Royal Navy took out 118 warships of the navy, almost half of the tonnage of the navy.

By the time this fleet began to gather over the Atlantic, the whole world held its breath. The Germans, who had been clamoring, were also silent.

In the face of such a powerful fleet, no one believed that the Yanhuang Empire, which was only 300,000 tons, only had 6 battleships, and the navy of the battleships built by the Federal Republic of China on behalf of the Chinese Federation could live in a low-grade position.

But the development of events is really unbelievable, and it is even more unbelievable.

Wait for the British expeditionary fleet to cross the Mediterranean. Crossing the Suez Canal, across the narrow Red Sea, just arrived in the Indian Ocean. Then after replenishing Socotra with coal and fresh water, the terrifying sharks from under the water showed their fangs just when they thought it was safe.

The 12 ocean-going submarines with a displacement of 1,200 tons, built by Huo Jiajun's latest research, took 24 offshore submarines with a displacement of 800 tons, and fired 72 of them at the huge group of warships gathered in the distance. The newly developed 'Sea Fork 4' torpedo, a 533mm caliber, high-speed torpedo with a range of 40 knots/2500 km. Hit the British by surprise.

Even if the British broke their heads, they would never have imagined that they would be attacked here. Because there is no formed submarine force yet. So at the beginning, the British thought it was a mine, but it was just a torpedo track from all directions. Let the British react quickly. The quality of the navy cultivated by dominating the world for hundreds of years is not comparable to that of the young Huo Jiajun Navy.

However, despite this, the submarine force achieved the result of sinking 4 battleships, 7 large and small cruisers of the British Navy, and damaging 12 at the cost of its own loss of six submarines.

Just when the British were busy salvaging the overboard, adjusting the battleship. On the coast in the distance, Huo Shan carefully prepared 8 ships with a displacement of 22,500 tons. The three-door triple 305mm caliber and the top speed of 22 knots of the 'Dreadnought-class' battleship exposed the sea.

The battle that followed was self-evident, and the British Navy's outdated former dreadnoughts were defeated by the dreadnought-class battleships designed and built by Huo Shan for many years.

When the news spread, the whole world was shaken, and the appearance of the Dreadnought class suddenly turned the world's warships into scrap metal.

Countless warships that were already on the slipway were scrapped, and subsequent construction plans were all axed.

Of course, it was the British who hurt the most, and the average naval warship was sunk in the Indian Ocean, and there were huge loopholes in the entire British colonial system.

At this time, something even more shocking happened than the 'Battle of Socotra'.

On September 1, 1901, the Yanhuang Empire, the Federal Republic of China, the Federal Republic of Indochina, and the Kingdom of Korea announced their merger to form a unified constitutional monarchy - the Chinese Empire.

With this announcement, the whole world lost its voice.

Because a huge empire with a land area of more than 30 million square kilometers and a population of more than 600 million appeared in this world.

Subsequently, the nascent Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Huo Shan, declared war on the British.

In less than a week, Singapore, the Seychelles, Socotra, Mauritius, the Chaggs Islands, the Cocos Islands, and the Andaman Islands were all lost.

A month later, British Somalia, the island of Sri Lanka, Tasmania, New Zealand, and the eastern region of the Brahmaputra River in India.

Two months later, six states in the Ganges Valley of India were occupied, and all land in western Ontario, Canada, was occupied.

Half a year later, India and Canada were all occupied.

The failure of the navy and the retreat on the road made Britain completely return to the prototype, especially the loss of India, the jewel in the crown, which made Britain even more broken.

Originally, it was expected that the Russian Empire, the United States and Japan would be able to block China's troops, but the leaders of these countries were not stupid, and seeing that the Chinese Navy became the world's first because of its powerful dreadnoughts, they naturally would not touch China's brow at this time.

And Russia, faced with threats from Germany and Austria-Hungary on the road, did not dare to move.

Because there are no allies in the world, coupled with growing anti-war sentiment at home. In the end, Salisbury resigned, and Britain chose to negotiate.

On May 8, 1902, after nearly a month of squabbling, the Sino-British Treaty of Beijing was signed. According to the terms of the treaty, Britain was exempted from the indemnity, but only India was the land, except for the eastern part of the Brahmaputra River, which belonged to the Chinese Empire, other Indian lands were returned to the British, and the former British colonies such as Canada and New Zealand were ceded to the Chinese Empire.

At this time, the territory of the Chinese Empire expanded to 40 million square kilometers, and it was already the most powerful country in the world, both economically and militarily.

And because of the strength of the Chinese Empire, the 'Yellow Peril Theory' was rampant throughout Europe. But at this time, the contradictions between Britain and Germany, Germany and France, Austria and Russia were irreconcilable!

On July 28, 1914, World War I broke out as scheduled.

And Huo Shan also attacked the last two stumbling blocks around him on this day.

Half a year later, the whole of Japan was razed, and all 25 million people, except women and children, all men fell on the Siberian wilderness and the barren lands of northern Canada developed by the Chinese Empire.

In August 1915, in the face of the strength of the Chinese Empire, Spain sold Luzon and Cuba to China for 10 million Chinese dollars.

In September 1915, after 15 years of renovation and construction, the Mekong River, the Pearl River, the Yangtze River, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Liao River, the Songhua River, the Heilongjiang River, and the Lena River were connected, with a total length of 15,000 kilometers, and the Oriental Canal, the world's longest canal that could sail with 10,000 tons of ships in most areas, was completed.

In September 1917, the Chinese Empire took advantage of the rebirth of the Soviet Union and sent troops to occupy all the land east of the Ob River, adding another 3 million kilometers of land to the entire country.

In January 1918, the Chinese Empire declared war on the Central Powers, and subsequently sent troops to occupy Kuwait and Iraq.

In 1929, when the world economic crisis broke out, China's second central canal, which ran from north to south, connecting the Yenisei River, running through the whole of Mongolia, connecting the Yellow River, the middle of the Yangtze River, and the Pearl River, was completed.

At the same time, in order to alleviate domestic conflicts, the Bering Strait Undersea Tunnel Project, known as the project of the century, and the world's highest water diversion project to divert water from the Brahmaputra River and Bangladesh, the most rainipotent region on the planet, across the Himalayas, through the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and into the Tarim River, to alleviate the drought in the entire northwest of the world.

Both projects were not completed until 1955, after the Second World War.

In 1965, Huo Shan, who was already 97 years old, closed his eyes in the rebuilt royal garden, the Old Summer Palace.

At this time, this powerful country created by him has become the world's largest power with a territory of nearly 50 million square kilometers, covering all continents in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and a population of more than 1.5 billion.

After hundreds of years of trough, the Chinese nation once again stands at the top of the world! )
