Chapter 832 Western Siberian Crisis

This is the most chaotic America.

When the results of the Battle of Bermuda spread all over the world, when 4 aircraft carriers led 10 battleships, 1 large cruisers, 15 light cruisers, and more than 40 destroyers to the east coast of the United States, all kinds of rumors directly led to the collapse of the United States.

On the night of July 21, 1917, U.S. President Melkin and members of the White House set foot on refuge in the north, while the declaration of autonomy and secession from the war from southern Alabama and Georgia completely crushed the last straw.

After the Civil War, the southern states in the south, which have been under military control and quarantine policies for a long time, no longer want to have a war. Coupled with the repeated announcements of Xinhua's political axe, pointing the finger at the federal political axe, many people began to have other ideas.

On July 23, after receiving the news that the Ministry of Intelligence has rebelled against the two states, the Xinhua and North American Theater Command announced that it would accept the self-government statements of Alabama and Georgia, publicly saying that if the two states do not act hostile, the army will not attack the two states, and at the same time announced that all the troops in the two states will be Both were evacuated to Louisiana and Florida, and the air force also canceled the original bombing plan.

On July 24, the first aircraft carrier battle group reorganized by the Royal Xinhua Navy, with two heavy aircraft carriers and one light aircraft carrier, bombed Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, Newport and Norfolk for the first time. During the ten-day bombing, a total of 5,320 bombs of various types were dropped, and two other The Bay-class battleships, two Hebei-class battleships and three Yanjing-class battleships also shelled the mouth of the Chesapik Bay, including several cities, with heavy artillery shells, firing a total of 15,500 shells, with a total tonnage of 6081 tons, effectively destroying the shipbuilding and heavy industry secrets including Portsmouth and Newport. Gather the base.

In the same way, the second aircraft carrier battle group of the Xinhua Navy also concentrated on bombing Baltimore, Annapolis and other places deep in Chesapik Bay.

On August 3, the Royal Xinhua Navy aircraft carrier battle group outside Chesapik Bay in the United States bombed Washington for the first time, but did not drop bombs on the White House and the Capitol.

Continuous bombings have plunged the whole United States into a huge panic. When California and several southern states were occupied before, most of the northerners of the United States did not have any pain, because the estrangement caused by the Civil War had not been completely eliminated at this time, and the most important industry and agriculture in the United States were in the north. So it hasn't had much impact on life.

However, after the ChesaPick Bay Industrial Zone was bombed, the United States suddenly fell into difficulties. First of all, 70% of the shipbuilding industry, 90% of the naval facilities, 30% of the steel industry, and 20% of the light industry were all shrouded under the wings of the bomber.

After the ten-day bombing, the two aircraft carrier battle groups of the Xinhua Navy temporarily ended the attack. It was not that they did not want to fight, but that the ammunition began to be tight.

On August 6, the Xinhua Prime Minister's Office and the Department of Defense issued a national announcement, once again pointing the finger at the U.S. federal ax that launched the war, and for the first time, it said that it would speed up the progress of the army and end the war.

At the same time, the second batch of two Western Qin-class aircraft carriers, Yanguo, Wu Yue and one Xi'an-class Ningxia large cruiser just completed the sea test, with two artillery formations of fire dragons and fire rain, three Jilin-class battleships, three Dalian-class heavy cruisers, four Honolulu-class light cruisers, 12 destroyers, and six supply ships. And 135 arms carriers loaded with aviation ammunition went to Panama, preparing to enter the Atlantic Ocean from there to replace the USS Nanchu aircraft carrier formation and several injured capital ships in Bermuda.

On August 10, the fourth batch of bombers consisting of 110 large Thor bombers arrived in Los Angeles and arrived at the newly captured Bermuda after the Houston transition.

The arrival of the Raytheon bomber means that under light load, the Air Force's large bombers can cover the eastern coastal areas, including Washington, for the first time.

On August 12, the Sixth Division of the Royal Chinese Marine Corps departing from Panama and the First Division of the Cuban Army departing from Havana landed in Florida, and met with two advance infantry divisions of the Third Army in Jacksonville two days later.

At the same time, the North American Theater Command announced that Florida has become the seventh U.S. state to enter military control, announcing that all local residents are not allowed to leave the range of 10 kilometers of residence, and at the same time, anyone who tries to attack the army, damage traffic and public facilities, and undermines the military management policy.

On August 16, the Royal Xinhua Navy officially signed a lease agreement for the Guantanamo naval base with the Cuban political axe. According to the agreement, Xinhua will lease the Guantanamo naval base in Cuba for 99 years and have the option of priority renewal after expiration. Xinhua political axe guarantees that it will guarantee the territory and national security of Cuba during the lease, and On the same day, the captured two Spanish-class battleships, four light cruisers and 10 destroyers were officially handed over to the Cuban navy.

Just as the Xinhua Empire airmen passed over the east coast of the United States like locusts, the same wind and clouds surged in Europe.

After receiving the news of the defeat of the Bermuda Sea, Europe seems to have detonated a giant nuclear bomb.

On July 27, after learning of the announcement of the Xinhua Ministry of Defense and the Prime Minister's Office to accelerate the end of the war, William II, together with Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire, also announced that they would increase their investment in the army and strive to end the war in the first half of 2018.

At the same time, there was a major turning point in the Battle of Paris. Ludendorff and Hindenburg provoked a summer offensive. At the moment when Italy gradually withdrew from the war, they transferred 700,000 Austro-Hungarian troops to the outskirts of Paris.

In the early morning of the 28th, a total of 1.8 million German-Austrian allied forces, assisted by hundreds of aircraft, 15,000 cannons and 400 tanks, broke through the defense line outside the British and French in Djacéon and advanced to Lyon, a major city in central France.

30 said that the unstoppable German-Austrian coalition arrived outside Lyon, which also meant that the Battle of Paris ended in a complete failure of the agreement. After a total of 4.5 million combat troops, more than 5 million logistics and auxiliary personnel were invested, and nearly 1.5 million deaths and injuries were paid, it was declared bankrupt because of Dirong's failure.

Kitchinner, who learned the news, had to return to the front line, and cooperated with the French generals to take the method of retreating the main force, attacking along the way, and lengthen the German supply line, which has achieved the goal of consuming the opponent.

On August 15, after losing nearly 500,000 elite soldiers in the Battle of Paris, the German army not only did not take any rest, but also quickly marched towards Thur under the strict order of William II.

So far, the German-Austrian coalition not only survived the most difficult moment, but also pushed the front line to Lyon and Toul in one fell swoop, declaring the loss of nearly half of France.

On August 17, a new [***] large-scale anti-war chaos broke out in Bordeaux, the temporary seat of the French political axe. Unlike the previous times, which were all civilian opposition parties, more than 2,000 soldiers were added this time. Although they were eventually suppressed, the wave of domestic revolution and the end of the war in France has been completely ignited.

On August 19, Britain, which has always been known as wartime endurance and the most stable, also broke out a large-scale anti-war demonstration across the country for the first time. George's political axe is in danger

.. Qiu Ming.

Get off the bus from the farthest Omsk fortress in the Siberian Railway Empire, and there are still more than 100 kilometers to reach Tyumei. If it hadn't been for the plain terrain in Western Siberia, this road would have become the most difficult road.

With the efforts of hundreds of thousands of Russian prisoners of war who have not yet been released, the kilometers from Omsk to Tyumei have been basically built, and the branch railway is also under construction. According to the plan of the Ministry of Transport, the empire will extend a total of five main railways and seven branch lines based on the Siberian artery. The first three main roads are deep trunk roads to the Arctic Ocean, while the other two are Urumqi to Tyumen, and Kulun to Mansiysk, the most northwestern part of the empire. It should be the present-day Russian Yamal Peninsula, but there are few people there, and the bad weather is not suitable for railways).

The Ministry of Transport is ambitious and wants to use the major Siberian artery left by Russia to connect the whole of Western Siberia and Central Siberia with the inland of the empire by railway. As for Eastern Siberia, they are not in a hurry. For the three main roads and port facilities in the Arctic Ocean, the construction speed was slow due to the weather and other reasons, but Li Mo was not in a hurry. After the war, he had enough time to sort out the whole country and compete for the Virgin Arctic Ocean and the South Pole. He never stopped.

Near Antarctica islands, such as the Prince Edward Islands, Crozee Islands, Kerguelen Island, and even South Georgia and the Falkland Islands (Malvinas Islands) in the South Atlantic Ocean, have been included in the places that must be obtained after the war. For this reason, he would rather give up one on the African continent. Some benefits.

In addition to taking advantage of the world's blank spots to encapture the land first, he has even found a ship design institute to transform the captured battleship into a super-large icebreaker for long-term scientific investigation, but how to drive the ship to his own territory in the Arctic Ocean and build a suitable base for it, which is also What a problem.

It's okay, it's not urgent.

Qiu Ming is the land that Li Mo has long wanted to circle since he returned to this world. There are unimaginable oil and gas resources underground. Of course, Li Mo doesn't know his specific location. The only thing he can be sure of is that he has been encircled in the country.

As for development and utilization, it is not urgent for the time being. Like the United States in later generations, Li Mo does not like to exploit too many domestic resources. He prefers to use overseas resources through international trade. However, in order to promote the economic development of border areas and accelerate the speed of domestic migration, the development of Tyumei and Western Siberia has been On the contrary, the plan made by the Prime Minister's Office to accelerate the development of Siberia was put on hold indefinitely.

It's very simple. The Central Siberian Plateau, including Lake Berga, is no longer a frontier on the imperial territory, but has become a central depth. Strengthening the protection of resources here and Eastern Siberia has become a consistent idea of the high-level officials of the empire who have been deeply influenced by Li Mo's later environmental resources protection ideas for a long time, and even discussed It will begin to discuss how to protect the two places from too many people.

Thought determines the future of the country. The combination of the political axe in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China and Emperor Li in later generations provide the country with a vision beyond the surname. The huge depth of the land also allows the political axe to have enough land to settle the rapidly growing population.

It's just.

Because it was a private visit, the Royal Guard removed all external signs, so this convoy of dozens of armored vehicles did not attract much attention on the plain. After all, although there is no war here, due to the turbulent situation in Russia, the Northwest Military Region still maintains about 500,000 troops and 100,000 countries. The military region of the Civil Guard and even the Air Force are stationed in an aviation regiment here.

Sitting in a rickety armored car, Li Mo's biggest headache is the population.

In the vast Siberia, there are only 700,000 people left after the war, most of which live in Western Siberia, including Slavic, Tatar and other ethnic minorities. The proportion of Han people is less than 5%, which is really not conducive to regional stability.

Accelerating immigration is a political consensus. According to the preliminary plan, if Western Siberia wants to achieve stability, it must ensure that 70% of the Han people, that is, at least 3 million people should be moved. However, because of the weather and other reasons, there are still too few people willing to come to Western Siberia, which is the swarm that has begun to appear. The situation of traveling to Australia has formed two extremes, which is really a headache.

That's why Li Mo has reached a critical stage of the war and hasn't forgotten to visit Qiu Ming.

"Your Majesty, we're here."

In Du Dazhuang's call, Li Mo got off the armored car under heavy protection, but the scene in front of him shocked him.

Is this the sparsely populated Western Siberia?

Looking into the distance, on the whole Tyumei Plain, countless low-key houses unique to Siberia are connected into pieces. From the appearance, there is quite a taste of the Canadian camp where Li Mo started in those years, but the scale is not only a hundred times larger than a thousand times!

The whole plain is divided into 50 residential areas. Each area is divided by a tight barbed wire mesh. A road is formed between the barbed wire mesh and the barbed wire mesh. Even Du Dazhuang can see that there are at least 3 million people living here!

Moreover, they are all refugees!

Li Mo's face changed a little.

3 million refugees are 3 million mouths. Even if they can only get a small amount of food every day, they need to eat and drink after all. This account alone makes him doubt whether his original Russian policy is right.

If it were in the southern provinces, 3 million refugees would have enough confidence to feed them, and they could even be clean. But this is Western Siberia, and it is difficult to be self-sufficient in the annual output. Now there are so many more mouths. Isn't it killing people!

And so many people who do not belong to the empire have become time bombs.

But the problem is that it can't be concentrated. At this time, it is not the era when future generations can achieve close monitoring of the border through high technology. In these days, once it is left alone, not to mention 3 million, I'm afraid that tens of millions will flood into the border, and the vast land is sparsely populated, and it is impossible for the military to block it 100%.

Li Mo began to have a headache
