Chapter 1513 General Mobilization
After throwing his dear students into the field of civilization evolution, Wen Rensheng was finally pleased to see the acceleration of civilization.
To be honest, if it weren't for minimizing the traces of his existence, he wouldn't need to spend so much effort.
Time accelerates to seventy years later.
On this nameless planet, the Second East-West War is on the verge of breaking out.
There are various reasons for the outbreak of war, and there are all kinds of contradictions, but in the final analysis, the upper class is fighting for the real secret of the fountain of youth.
The Dasu people had played a game before, but because the technological generation gap was not big enough at that time, they were repelled by Dacheng Dynasty, which had the home field advantage.
This is not outrageous.
Because in the time and space of Wen Rensheng, the Qing Dynasty could still defeat the land army of the great power France.
The situation of the Dacheng Dynasty was much better than that of the Qing Dynasty. At least there were no fierce internal conflicts and they could make a concerted effort to deal with foreign enemies.
Coupled with the Fountain of Youth's morale bonus to generals, the probability of victory is very high.
And this time, the West will organize an unprecedented coalition.
They believe that both military mobilization and military technology surpass the Dacheng Dynasty for a generation.
The battleships of the Dacheng Dynasty were in the pre-dreadnought era, and they had already reached the post-dreadnought era.
They have already moved the plane onto the battleship and started using it for reconnaissance. Dacheng Dynasty is still working on hot air balloons and airships.
They even started trying to make radars, something Dacheng Dynasty was just getting started with.
In Wen Rensheng's opinion, the technological comparison between the two is roughly equivalent to 1920 and 1905 in the previous life, a difference of about 15 years.
The final size of the Western coalition will probably be similar to the combined military strength of the Allied Powers and the Central Powers during World War I, of course after excluding the United States.
Liu Jian didn't come up with any new inventions. After all, he was not a top student and didn't understand any technology tree.
He only carried out strict supervision on the court's fair system.
The upper-level monopolies in the West decided to truly seize the secret of the Fountain of Youth.
For this reason, all the old forces, the Pope, the Czar, Mene and Guizot... all united and invested astronomical military expenditures to prepare for this war.
The mobilization of the lower class is to claim that they want to take the monopoly secret of the Fountain of Youth from the hands of the Orientals, so that the lower class can also have cheap reincarnation potions.
The entire Western war machine is roaring into action.
The Overseas Department of Xuanyi Guard quickly detected these situations and raised the highest level of alarm to the Dukes of Gonggun in the court.
.........
In the small chapel of the south study room, important ministers of the second rank and above gathered together in one room.
“Why can’t these damn Westerners let go of their delusions?” Sanfu asked angrily.
"Queen Mother, can we take out the secret of the Fountain of Youth and share it with their superiors to divide their coalition? In fact, they are full of internal contradictions and can easily break up." Cifu made a suggestion.
"Impossible." How could Lu Zhi take it out?
The Queen Mother refused, and the ministers looked at each other with ugly expressions.
The information given by the Overseas Department is very accurate.
The ministers are not mediocre people like our Qing Dynasty. Those who are unqualified are all punished by justice.
They knew very well how large the enemy was this time.
There are as many as 65 dreadnoughts, the main deterrent force at sea, ready to be assembled!
These are 65 dreadnoughts, with displacements ranging from 10,000 tons to 20,000 tons.
The Dacheng Dynasty, relying on its strong national power, only built 25 ships.
If one-on-one, only the Dasu people can compare with them, but compared with the entire Western coalition, they are at a very obvious disadvantage!
The gap is too big, even a layman knows that there is no way to fight.
The army can also rely on guerrillas and will, coupled with its vast territory and large population, to fight a protracted war.
Only between the Air Force and the Navy, the gap in quantity and technology cannot be made up no matter how hard people try.
Is there another inland decisive battle?
Abandon coastal ports completely?
The economic benefits lost would be too great. "Queen Mother, according to intelligence, the Western Allied Forces will organize an expeditionary force of up to 6 million people, divided into three groups to attack. The navy will dispatch more than 1,500 large and small ships, and more than 300 dreadnoughts and battlecruisers will be occupied..." The chief assistant did not Admonishment is just a list of cold data.
"Oh." Lu Zhi looked indifferent.
Of course, through the curtains, these ministers could not see any of her expressions.
But they could feel that the Queen Mother was not afraid at all.
For hundreds of years, the Queen Mother seemed to have never been afraid.
This is surprising.
You know, when they saw this information, they all felt as if they were overwhelmed by mountains, just like elementary school students facing the final exam tomorrow.
"Your Majesty, think twice. Once a war breaks out, we are very likely to be subjugated!" The Minister of Civil Affairs kowtowed.
I can’t die. I can’t make it easy for outsiders with the wealth I saved for ten generations!
The Queen Mother is really stubborn. She brings the popes and czars together so that we can enjoy the real fountain of youth together, can't we?
Why must one person keep the secret to himself?
I understand, the Queen Mother is a woman after all, and she just likes to enjoy that damn sense of superiority - she is the only one who enjoys true immortality, while others have to work hard to be reincarnated.
It is no different from those ordinary women: they always hope that they are the most unique one among the thousands of flowers.
The "pounce" knife hit the official minister who was too full of inner drama, and the part was raised high.
“Pull it down,” Lu Zhi waved his jade finger, “I don’t want to see his face again within three months.”
However, some people still have the courage to speak.
"Queen Mother, you can't start a war, you can't lose a big thing because of a small thing!" The Minister of Rites kowtowed again, "The ancients said that no matter how big a country is, if it is warlike, it will perish. It is also said that if you gain the right way, you will get more help, but if you lose the right way, you will get less help..."
Second knife.
Until the fifth person, no one dared to say anything about surrendering to avoid fighting.
It seems that my knife is not sharp enough and my heart is not hard enough.
If one kills one with one knife, maybe they will be scared.
Lu Zhi thought to himself.
At this time, someone suddenly said: "The Queen Mother did the right thing. We must not be afraid of the enemy's power. We will get more help when we are good, but we will get less help when we are unjust. Don't we have allies? In fact, we have more than a dozen Tibetan vassal states. . ”
“Yes, if we give up this time, will we still give up in the future? If they ask for lower tariffs and want to cede our land, do we have to endure it? ”
"Don't panic, gentlemen, but the adult population exceeds 650 million, the vassal country has 120 million, and the entire Western population is only 300 million. It has an absolute advantage in army mobilization." Someone else began to list their own advantages.
"Yes, with the army here, it is impossible to subjugate the country. Our Dacheng land is vast and rich in resources. Even if we are blocked, basic military equipment can still be guaranteed."
For a moment, in the south study room, the voice of resolute resistance took over.
Mainly because of the support of the Queen Mother.
The four pavilion elders looked at each other, and they wanted to scold those warring factions.
You guys are having fun, but when the war breaks out, they will be the ones who have the most trouble.
It's okay to say that if they win, they will get less scolding, but there will definitely be some people who find fault with them, saying that if they were replaced, the losses would be less.
Failure would be even worse, and it would be infamy for eternity.
"Then we have to carry out nationwide mobilization, and from now on we will shift to a wartime military system and vigorously produce rifles, artillery, heavy machine guns, landmines, grenades... these army equipment."
Navy Don't expect it. It takes several years to build a ship, and the shipyards and workers are not as good as Westerners.
"Now that we have a standing army of five million people and only 6 million people, do we still need general mobilization? This will cause great damage to us and our economy." Someone said unhappy.
The chief assistant wants to give this guy a blow, but he also wants to win, but he doesn’t want to pay the price. Do you really think you are a warrior saint who has come to this world?
"General mobilization is necessary, because the opponents have already mobilized. The 6 million is just the first batch, and several more 6 million will be mobilized later."
"Okay, don't argue, issue an edict for general mobilization. Let the light Si will explain the whole matter carefully, and the people of the world will support us," Queen Mother Lu decided.
