Rebirth of South America as King

ps: Since being on the shelves for more than two years, this week has ushered in the first test of water recommendation. I hope everyone will vote for it! thank you very much! (2 in 1 chapter)

The diplomatic and political confrontation between the United Kingdom and the United States is limited to the northern frontiers of South America, and has not had much impact on the mainland of South America and South Korea.

On January 23 and the lunar month 22 of the lunar calendar, the last few days of the Han Dynasty entering the annual holiday, companies, government agencies, and the military in various places are taking advantage of the last few days of the end of the year to complete the year's work.

Huaiyin Mansion (Rosario), Weizhou, the second division of the Sixth Division of the Han National Defense Forces, has been promoted to the head of the Lieutenant Colonel of the Second Division of the Sixth Division. He is sitting on a chair near the training ground of the camp and his hands are taken off alternately. Dust-covered leather military boots, slammed the ground a few times, after dumping out the sand and soil, skillfully put on the military boots, fasten them to carry, and then received the newspaper sent by the guards, holding tea in one hand and holding them in one hand Newspapers, a rare leisure time during training sessions.

The Renaissance and Youth Military Newspapers are government agency newspapers. Officers at and above the army school level have a free newspaper provided by the Ministry of the Army every day to help young military officers understand national military and political affairs and expand their knowledge horizons.

On the headline of the new issue of the Revival newspaper, the preparation of the constitutional monarchy system is still the hottest topic in recent times. The education, intellectual, and ordinary people in the public are all concerned about Li Mingyuan's initiative to reform the political system and prepare for the constitutional monarchy system. Show one-sided support.

"Broaden the people's wisdom and give the people the right to participate in and discuss politics. The constitution of the monarch of the Han Dynasty is indeed the benevolence of China in the past 5,000 years. His merits should be better than the ancient sages."

"The soldiers, officials, teachers, peasants, and workers all have equal political power. The reform of the political system of our country is a model for the political system of the civilized world and the cornerstone of the foundation of the empire." ...

The implementation of the constitutional monarchy means the transformation of the state from the rule of man to the rule of law, the improvement of the national political status, and the guarantee of security in the national economy and the human body.

Under the constitutional monarchy, the power of the monarch is restricted to a certain extent, and the lives of officials and ordinary people are guaranteed by law. In the feudal society in the past, the emperor's fate will never happen again.

Li Mingyuan is the eternal Mingjun and sage monarch in the eyes of all the peoples of the South American and Han nations, but no one can guarantee that the successor ruler of the empire can be as wise and loving as Li Mingyuan, and after the constitutional monarchy system was implemented, it will be different. Even if future monarchs can be slightly inadequate, under the guarantee of the state system, as long as the monarch controls the core military power, the right to appoint the prime minister, and the power of government supervision, the country will not go astray due to the monarch's mistake, and the people can feel that A sense of mission and security as the main body of the country.

New-type intellectuals and officials who have received overseas education abroad understand the benefits of the constitutional monarchy, and ordinary people and immigrants who lack knowledge and knowledge have heard the explanations of local officials. Even if they are still a little ignorant, they believe that the constitutional monarchy is another one implemented by the emperor. Benevolence, habitual raising of hands.

Like most young and middle-aged officers, Lu Rongting paid attention to politics, but his main interest was in the military field.

Put down the "Renaissance News" and pick up the Army and Navy newspaper "Youth Military News",

"The Han Dynasty and the Kingdom of Hawaii established diplomatic relations at the ministerial level. Major Young Navy officer Major Yong Yongzhong went to Hawaii to serve as an attache!"

Two lines of black headlines appeared prominently in the headline area of ​​the newspaper. Lu Rongting read along the headlines and gradually understood the cause and effect of the incident.

As businessmen from Western countries flooded into the Hawaiian Islands, cholera, mumps, flu, smallpox, measles and other infectious diseases they took claimed about four-fifths of the indigenous people ’s lives.

When Captain James Cook, the first Western navigator, landed in Hawaii in 1778, there were more than 300,000 Hawaiian natives on the island, and by 1876, there were only more than 60,000 Hawaiian Natives on the island.

The massive deaths of the population have caused severe labour shortages. To solve this problem, Hawaii began to import labor from overseas to work in plantations. The Chinese (1852), Dongyu (1868), Portuguese (1878), Americans and other countries immigrated to the island.

The introduction of foreign workers, especially Chinese and Eastern workers, has changed the population structure of the Hawaiian Islands. By the beginning of 1889, the number of Chinese in Hawaii, including Chinese-born indigenous women, and the offspring of Chinese and indigenous women, totaled 120,000. It surpassed the local indigenous people and became the largest ethnic population in the region. (The Hawaiian native is a Polynesian race, and the race is a yellow and white transitional race. Boulder Johnson is a Polynesian.)

Living under Chinese, the second largest ethnic group in Hawaii is the local indigenous population, with a population of about 50,000, and the third largest ethnic group is the Dongdai, with a population of about 30,000.

The Chinese and East Tatars are Hawaii's main immigrant groups, accounting for three-quarters of the total population of Hawaii. After the Chinese and East Tatars, the Americans with the third largest number of foreign populations have only 2,000 missionaries. , Businessmen, ordinary immigrants, the population is far lower than that of the Chinese and Dongsao people.

Although Americans are at a disadvantage in terms of the number of immigrants, taking advantage of the earliest entry into the Hawaiian Islands, the Americans forced the King of Hawaii to sign an unequal treaty, which gave the US government the power to establish a military port in Hawaii and to send a small number of Marine soldiers.

The main port of Hawaii's main island, Oahu, has a 100-man Marine Corps soldier and a supply station that can provide basic supplies such as food and fruit. The barracks in Pearl Harbor is the US government. The core pillar that exerted political pressure on the Kingdom of Hawaii. In the past few years, because of the support of the garrison naval force, the U.S. embassy in the Kingdom of Hawaii had suppressed the Han and East Korean governments and obtained the main control of Hawaii.

However, the situation in which the United States dominated the Kingdom of Hawaii changed because of the confrontation between Britain and the United States. In order to share diplomatic pressure and combat the expansion of the United States in northern South America, the British government for the first time made a clear statement in support of the Han Dynasty in the South Pacific. As a result of the interests of the United Kingdom, after receiving British diplomatic support, the Han government was able to cross the U.S. Embassy in the Kingdom of Hawaii and sign a formal proposal agreement with the Kingdom of Hawaii. The two parties established diplomatic relations at the ministerial level. For political treatment, an area of ​​about 480 acres was demarcated near the Pearl Harbor port of Oahu to serve as a material supply port for the South Pacific Squadron of the Han Dynasty and a marine camp.

In Hawaii, the Chinese Marines were stationed in the camp near the American camp.

However, the strength of the South American nation in the South Pacific is insufficient, and the core task of entering the Hawaiian Islands is to curb the annexation of Hawaii by the United States, so it does not take care of the Hawaiian government.

Taking the opportunity to celebrate the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Han and the Kingdom of Hawaii, the local government announced the dispatch of a fleet of 2,500-ton cruisers, a 1350-ton light cruiser, and three auxiliary ships, along with Han Jun Zhong Chuncheng (a child of American origin, During his stay in the United States, he mainly learned knowledge in the field of diplomacy.)

A diplomatic team of more than 150 people, including a military attache to the Kingdom of Hawaii, a major naval mine Yongzhong, three platoon Marine Corps soldiers, and a consulate assistant, etc., made a diplomatic visit to the Kingdom of Hawaii.

During the state visit, the Han fleet will stay in Hawaii for three months. After completing the state visit and condolences to the Chinese compatriots in Hawaii, the fleet will rush to Samoa, the capital of the Yizhou Islands, where it will officially join the battle sequence of the South Pacific Fleet. .

After reading the news that the Navy is about to send a fleet to visit Hawaii, Lu Rongting had a long-lost restlessness in his mind.

After the Argentine War, the Navy Fleet successively received new iron armored ships. Newly recruited native naval officer school graduates and key officers returning from overseas can also often go to sea to train. By combating the South Pacific-Southern Ocean route, Atlantic-Africa route Pirates, increase combat experience, and the local army combat units, in addition to the troops stationed in the northern border area, can conduct low-intensity field operations in occasional border military conflicts, but other forces can only cooperate with several units In order to keep the combat skills from degrading in the form of simulation exercises.

After all, simulation exercises and field operations are not the same thing. In the past ten years, they have not participated in field operations. Not only are veterans not used to it, but even Lu Rongting, the military chief, feels a bit uncomfortable.

Lu Rongting was born in 1859. At the beginning of 1879, when the Argentine War broke out, he was only a 20-year-old grass-roots officer. Now, ten years later, his rank has been gradually promoted from captain to lieutenant colonel, and his position has also crossed the camp. The checkpoint of the first-ranking officers was successfully promoted to the leader of a regiment, and the identity change from a grass-roots officer to a senior officer was completed.

The expansion plan has begun. According to the expansion progress issued by the Ministry of War, before July 1889, the Sixth Division of the National Defense Forces will be the first batch of expansion troops to complete the expansion and replacement of the first division and the second division. The regiment will also be compiled by a standard regiment of 2,200 people and expanded to a large regiment of 3,000 people.

"In July next year, the expansion of the Second Regiment will end, and the rank may be upgraded from the colonel to the colonel."

Lu Rongting drank a cup of tea and stared at the military epaulets on his shoulders, talking to himself.

In peacetime, the promotion of officer positions was slow, and the promotion of ranks to two ranks in 10 years was a normal phenomenon in the Han National Defense Forces. However, compared with the ten years before the founding of the PRC, generals such as Luo Linshan, Zhao Yongzeng, and Wang Dashan were not only at a young age. High position, and because of the dragon's merit, everyone has the honor of a hereditary noble title.

The hereditary aristocracy of the Han country is a symbol of honor and status. In the 21st year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number of hereditary aristocracy in the native country of Han was less than fifty, and the number of non-hereditary nobles was more than forty.

The consecration ceremony at the end of 1879 was the largest hereditary title conferment ceremony since the history of the Han Dynasty. After that, although there were four people including Zhou Sheng and Lin Shenhe, they were awarded for their great achievements in different fields. Hereditary baron, but during this period, two hereditary nobles have also been deprived of hereditary nobility due to disciplinary, illegal, and corrupt life.

Hereditary nobility has great appeal to every young soldier, and Lu Rongting is no exception.

At that time, there were seven children in the family. The oldest child was eight years old. He had already entered the second grade of the junior school. The child grew up slowly, which caused a pressure on the self-seeing young Lu Rongting. However, for a few decades, I missed the ten years before the Argentine War. In the ten years after 1889, we must seize the opportunity to build our careers and serve the country!

Strong career ambition is to motivate Lu Rongting. For ten years, he has been motivated to train troops, drank the rest of the tea, and after a short rest, Lu Rongting stood up and intends to continue his intense and enriching training for the next few years. The war that may come is well prepared.

"Captain Shi Ying and Zhang Ying, how is the training of the troops today?"

Lu Rongting put on a simple pingding military cap, came to the soldiers training center, and asked two young officers who were only two or six years old.

"The brothers' training is not bad. Infantry, artillery cooperative tactics, skirmish offensive tactics, mine clearance tactics, heavy machine gun defense and other tactical exercises have achieved excellent results. They are placed in the main groups of the National Defense Forces, and they can be regarded as one of the first.

However, each battalion has only one Jianye six-year heavy machine gun, three regiments in a regiment, and a machine gun platoon under the direct control of the regiment. There are only seven heavy machine guns, which are more than ten Gatlings in the previous regiment. Compared to machine guns, the number has been reduced by more than half. The grassroots officers below have some opinions that the number of heavy machine guns is too small, and the company units below do not have heavy fire support, and the combat effectiveness will be severely limited. "

The three infantry battalions under the second regiment, including Shi Jintang, the battalion commander, and Zhang Yougong, the battalion commander of the third battalion, all have a background in studying abroad. Compared with the second battalion commander who grew up from the local grass-roots army, the two attach more importance to grass-roots infantry units. Heavy fire support.

"How does Jianye's six-year heavy machine gun fire rate and bullet range compare to Gatling's hand-gun machine gun?"

"Jianye's six-year heavy machine gun has a flat shot with an effective range of 1,000 meters and a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute. When loaded with ordinary ammunition, it still has a certain lethality within a distance of 2700 meters.

Gatling's handgun has an effective range of 800 meters and a rate of fire of 170 rounds per minute. "

The battalion leader Shi Jintang replied.

"Yes, Jianye's six-year heavy machine gun has an effective range that exceeds the Gatlin hand-gun machine gun. The rate of fire is more than three times that of the Gatlin hand-gun machine gun, and its lethality is more than five times higher than that of the Gatlin hand-gun machine gun."

Lu Rongting summarized the performance comparison between Jianye's six-year heavy machine gun and Gatling hand-held machine gun, and then explained: "The Jianye six-year heavy machine gun has better firepower and is more adaptable to the front line than the Gatling hand-gun. The combat effectiveness of the army is also the reason why the local army eliminated the Gatling hand-gun machine guns and completely replaced the heavy machine guns. However, compared with the improvement of weapon performance, the manufacturing cost and ammunition consumption cost of Jianye's six-year heavy machine guns far exceeded that of Canada. Tring hand-gunned the machine gun. "

Lu Rongting found a chair and sat down ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ continued: "In Europe, a Mark Qin heavy machine gun is priced at 300 pounds, and the price of supporting bullets is 30 pounds.

The domestically produced Jianye six-year heavy machine gun costs 1400 won, equivalent to the British exchange rate of 200 pounds, and the cost of supporting ammunition is 25 pounds. Although the cost is cheaper than the outsourcing, it must reach the Gatling hand-gun. In terms of current military expenditure, the cost of weapons is difficult for the local government to bear. "

"Jianye's six-year heavy machine gun is really a good thing. Using a triangular bracket, the machine gun barrel is light. After the barrel is disassembled, two or three soldiers can carry parts to transfer, and the weight is bulky and bulky, and a carriage is needed. Compared to the Gatling hand-held machine gun that carries the transfer, the Jianye six-year heavy machine gun is more suitable for defensive operations and rapid transfers, but the heavy machine gun ammunition is consumed at a terrible rate and the combat cost is high. Otherwise, the heavy machine gun will be popularized to the company, The comprehensive combat capabilities of platooned combat units and the National Defense Forces will be completely different from before. "

The third battalion chief shook his head and said sorry.

"The country's economic development is booming, and the technical level of local military enterprises is also increasing. Maybe in a few years, the production costs of heavy machine guns and ammunition will be reduced, and heavy machine guns will be popularized to company and platoon basic combat units .... ...
