Fubo City is located on the coast of the Red Sea, in the north of the Ethiopian Plateau, with an average altitude of more than 1,780 meters, and the perennial temperature is maintained between 16~25 degrees, with bright sunshine and more rain.

When Richard and his party arrived, it had just rained.

From the smoke of the Great War in Europe to the peaceful province of Yunzhong, even the most dull person can notice the difference and immediately fall in love with it.

In this

The neat and wide streets are lined with greenery, flowers, and the bustling shops on both sides of the road, exuding an atmosphere of peace, stability and prosperity.

There is no precarious fear, no hunger, cold and food shortages every day when the eyes are opened, no shadow of death looms, no frightening gunfire.

Over here

The police kept order on tall horses, trams and cars of all kinds roamed the streets, and the roads were lined with mosques, Catholic and Protestant churches, as well as Buddhist temples and Taoist temples.

The subjects of the Tang Empire can freely believe in any religion, and others will not interfere with you, at most they will encounter some blank eyes and exclusion.

The unprecedentedly relaxed religious atmosphere has made this city a thriving city in the Pearl of the Red Sea, where many Europeans can buy their own property freely and are protected by law.

Unlike Imperial citizens, foreigners are required to pay an additional tax on the purchase of fixed assets by foreign citizens, and it is limited to one self-occupied residence, which is a violation of the law.

Moreover, citizens of other countries are not allowed to purchase pastures, land and plantations, engage in finance, own major equity interests in factories and enterprises, or act as corporate legal persons, and are not qualified to serve in government agencies.

To meet the relevant qualifications, one must have the standard of having the citizenship of the Tang Empire for a certain number of years.

Therefore, many white Europeans who immigrated to Yunzhong Province have joined the Tang nationality, which is also the main reason for the rapid population growth of the province.

The mounted police patrolling the streets are usually in teams of two, mostly a Chinese and a white man, and can basically cope with most situations.

The increase in the recruitment of white police officers is also a practical necessity, because many of the white newcomers in Fubo come from different European countries, including Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium and Spain, and even white police officers are not able to cope with so many different languages.

As a large African city with a population of nearly 2 million, Fuba is the largest, most developed and most modern city in the whole of Africa, with a fairly well-developed infrastructure.

The city has an abundant electricity supply and transforms into a city that never sleeps with bright lights every night.

At night, Fubo City is full of people, and the intoxicating songs and music on the vinyl record player echo in the streets and alleys, making it a world of drunken fans.

All of this is in great contrast to the war-torn Europe, attracting a large number of white European immigrants to come here and enjoy a rare peaceful life.

After Richard and his entourage arrived in Fubo City, they secretly stayed in the northern suburbs of the palace, and only a few days later.

Hearing that the Holy Ancestor Emperor arrived, Fubo City and even the upper echelons of Yunzhong Province instantly boiled.

Chen Juen, Governor of the Tang Empire Peninsula, Zheng Kai, Governor of East Africa, Hu Yunchuan, a high-ranking official in Yunzhong, Lieutenant General Li Minghua, commander of the Red Naval Region, and Lieutenant General Zhu Guosheng, commander of the Middle East Corps of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and other dignitaries came one after another, asking to meet His Majesty the Holy Ancestor and listen to the hadith.

Richard met with the dignitaries in the main hall of the palace, listened to the latest reports on the situation in the Middle East and East Africa, and encouraged them to make further contributions to the colonization of the empire.

After the dormant period of the Tang Qianzong era, during the reign of the third emperor Tang Yezong, the Tang Empire once again struck hard, and experienced a large process of colonial expansion to Brazil in South America, Malawi and Mozambique in East Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula.

This brought about a new round of foreign colonization of the Tang Empire, consolidated the supremacy of imperial power, greatly inspired the people, and improved the cohesion of the imperial people.

As a result, Tang Yezong was widely revered by the people of the empire, and the reputation of imperial power was further raised.

But anyway

The imperial power of the Tang Empire has always been within the limits of the founding emperor Richard, forming a situation of separation of powers from the imperial government, the imperial parliament and the Supreme Court, and it is impossible for one to dominate.

The rules set by His Majesty the Holy Emperor Taizu are subject to the dual constraints of the House of Nobles and the Royal Clan Association, and it is impossible for Tang Yezong to easily break through and act arbitrarily.

Because there is also an ancestor of the Tang royal family on his head, there are dozens of imperial uncles and vassal kings around him, and he can only move around within the limited scope of imperial power.

Richard had made up his mind a long time ago;

The arrogant Kaiser Wilhelm II was a fool with a low eye, and the glorious German Empire would collapse in his hands, leaving nothing but rubble.

Tsar Nicholas II's talents were not enough to support his ambitions, and he was also a loser.

Such a derogatory assessment has aroused widespread repercussions at the top level of countries around the world, and once caused Kaiser Wilhelm II to burst into a thunderous rage, triggering twists and turns in the relations between the two countries.

It was precisely because of his concern for the serious impact of the imperial dictatorship on the country that Richard vigorously promoted important measures such as constitutional monarchy, social legalization and universal suffrage to form a new check and balance of power.

So

The Tang Empire will not go on a rough road because of the ambition of a certain prime minister or a certain emperor, this is the advantage of full checks and balances.

Negative examples are in front of you;

When the history advanced to March ~ April 1917, it was seriously affected by the restrictions on imports of the Tang Empire, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The revolt of the hungry and cold people of Tsarist Russia, and the complete collapse of the Tsarist regime on March 15 in internal and external troubles, also contributed to the rapid signing of the Treaty of Bordeaux.

In order to continue to stabilize the battlefield on the Eastern Front, the Entente bloc has exhausted almost all means, and winning the Tang Empire into the alliance is one of the most important measures.

Another important move is that Britain and France will make a big move to the new government of Tsarist Russia, and strive to maintain the more than 6 million Russian troops on the front line from temporarily defecting, which is the top priority at present.

As for launching a new large-scale battle on the Eastern Front, this beautiful idea can only stay in a dream and has no practical significance at all.

Overall

The Tang Imperial Government did not pay attention to the battlefields on the Western Front and the Eastern Front, it was all a matter of others, and there was no direct connection with the Imperial Government.

At present, the main focus of the imperial government is on the southern front of Europe and the Middle East, especially in the Middle East, and a large number of troops from Yunzhong Province are currently gathering in the Sinai Peninsula for training, and a new round of war is about to be launched.

As an important fortress of the Tang Empire in the Suez Canal Zone, Suez City now has a total population of about 530,000 people and a garrison of 75,200 troops, and is the seat of the Red Navy District Command.

The field strength of more than 86,000 people in the Middle East Corps of the Tang Empire Expeditionary Force assembled in the Sinai Peninsula is not subordinate to the Red Naval Region, but directly subordinate to the Imperial Royal Army Staff Headquarters.

The corps is the same as the first, second and third corps of the Tang Empire Expeditionary Force going to Europe in terms of military rank, and they all belong to the level of a large military region with independent command corps direction, with independent campaign capabilities, and the commander is a lieutenant general.

The Middle East Corps directly under the Royal Imperial Army will form an alliance with Britain and France, and the commander of the coalition will be Admiral Henry of the United Kingdom, planning to attack from the Suez Canal Zone and sweep the Jerusalem region along the Mediterranean, Lebanon, Syria and so on.

Then the troops were divided into three routes, all the way with the Tang Empire's Middle East Corps as the main force, through Jordan, Kuwait to the Basra area.

All the way to capture Haifa with the main force of the British and French forces, and to the east through Rubaitt, and finally occupied Baghdad.

All the way, with part of the Anglo-French forces and local forces, the division continued to capture and consolidate towns along the Syrian coast, clearing the enemy's forces.

The main enemy was the army led by the Ottoman Empire and the German Desert Corps, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

The British Expeditionary Force had suffered a complete defeat at Coot, and the British army led by General Townsend was completely annihilated by the German-Austrian forces, and now it is making a comeback.

In order to adapt to the desert terrain, the Middle East Corps of the Tang Empire was equipped with a light armored division, mainly equipped with wolf light tanks and heavy machine gun vehicles, and equipped with a large number of light trucks with strong off-road ability.

In addition, a large number of trucks, mules and horses have been assigned to various field infantry divisions, and a high degree of motorization has been achieved in the desert Gobi region, with more than 7,600 trucks and more than 17,000 mules and horses alone, basically realizing semi-mechanization and semi-mule and horse.

I learned from my subordinates' reports;

Britain and France added a lot of water to the newly prepared Middle East Corps, and the British had more than 23,000 Anzac Corps, four Indian divisions and several separate regiments from South Africa, and the rest were three Irish rifle regiments and a Scottish Guards Cavalry regiment.

France had a large number of black soldiers from Albaria and West Africa, and they were very heavily mixed.

The real main force is still the headquarters of the Middle East Corps of the Tang Empire, and it is a first-class strong in terms of equipment and training.

It is precisely for this reason that Lieutenant General Zhu Guosheng, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the allied forces, demanded command in an independent campaign direction and was unwilling to mix with the British and French forces.

After listening to the report, Richard smiled in his heart, and encouraged the military generals to play the demeanor of imperial soldiers in the war, so that they would have a stronger voice in the future.

You can't blame the British and the French for desperately mixing water, it's really that the losses in this world war are too great, and they have reached the point of heartache.

Not only in the Middle East war, but also on the battlefield on the Western Front in Europe, where a steady stream of troops from the British and French colonies were filled into the trenches.

Nowadays, England and France are full of manpower, factories are short of strong labor, mines are short of people, ports are short of people, and a large number of fields are barren, resulting in a sharp contraction of industrial and agricultural production.

This situation is unlikely to be reversed quickly, even after the war.

The large number of young and middle-aged laborers killed and injured in the war cannot be immediately remedied, and this is a whole generation.

Why are there so many on the streets of Paris in later generations? Why are there so many Turks in European countries?

The roots are here, there are too many white people who have died in the war.

Therefore, the Tang Empire not only exported a total of about 600,000 troops to Europe, but also mobilized millions of Chinese immigrants, who were generally surplus labor in their families.

Both the French and the British are willing to pay for immigration, and through bilateral foreign negotiations, these countries have promised to give immigrants equal national treatment, equal marriage, real estate, naturalization, and personal and property security.

Therefore, the current Tang Empire is not only a large population importer, but also a large population exporter, and plays an important role in the two-way flow of the world's population.

This helped to reduce the unemployment and employment pressure of the Tang Empire, and also helped to export oriental culture and increase the influence of Chinese in European countries.

Only by being backed by a strong country can overseas migrants be treated more fairly and equitably.
