Rebirth of South America as King

On March 27, 1879, Li Mingyuan and his army generals took the train from Chang'an Station and proceeded to Huaiyang along the main railway line.

On the next day, accompanied by dozens of young officers, the German officer taught the regiment leader Lieutenant General West and Baron Roberts, the German ambassador to the Republic of China, and a team of nearly a hundred people along different routes across the Pampas Plain and toward the exercise Beijing's final destination-Xinjing advances.

The Pampas Plain has flat terrain and few undulating hills. Therefore, during long steam trains, there are few bumps and shaking.

A thick white smoke emerged from the dark chimney, and the steaming sound of the train fluttering as the flutter of steam fluttered. The scenery outside the window seemed to stand still with the rapid movement of the train, almost unchanged.

The area of ​​Pampas Plain is too large, the train has been driving for several hours, and it still has not come out of the plain area mixed with the green and village head.

A patch of green grass, neatly planned blue brick houses, and rows of unique willows and oaks beside the settlements, three different sceneries combine to form the Pampas Plain. , The most universal scenery.

Green grass, green trees, villages. Although the scenery outside the train is harmonious and beautiful, the same kind of sight has always been watched for thousands of kilometers, and it always feels monotonous and tedious.

The rural scene in the central plains of China is similar to the situation in the East Prussia region of Germany. Both the Pampas Plain and East Prussia have fertile black land. The local agricultural resources are rich and both are important agricultural production areas in both countries. It is only different from the Han Dynasty. East Prussia covers only 36,000 square kilometers, while the Pampas Plain covers an area of ​​760,000 square kilometers. The entire black soil area of ​​the Pampas Plain is within the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Fertile agricultural land is a powerful and fundamental element of the country in both industrial society and traditional feudal society.

虽然 Although the entire world is vast in size and has hundreds of large and small countries, the black land with the best land quality is only four in total. The first is the black soil area of ​​Eastern Europe, including the Ukrainian Plain, the Polish Plain, Belarus, and East Prussia, Germany, with an area of ​​about 1.9 million square kilometers; the second is the North American black soil area, which is located in the Mississippi River Basin in North America and covers an area of ​​about 1.2 million square kilometers. Located in the black soil area of ​​the northeast plain of the mainland, it covers an area of ​​1.03 million square kilometers and is an important commodity grain base in the mainland known as "North Okura". The fourth is the Pampa prairie, which originally connected Argentina to Uruguay, with an area of ​​760,000 square kilometers.

Among the four black soil regions, Russia began to expand from the period of Vasily I (1371-1425), and gradually annexed the Principality of Novgorod, Kazan Khanate, Belarus, Ukraine, Poland and other countries, taking the territory of the country from Moscow. , Extended to the entire Siberia, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, the former strong enemy Ottoman Empire and the Far East Tatars were trampled underneath, while the Polish Kingdom of the same Europa was completely destroyed, the Ukrainian Great Plains originally occupied by Poland became The foundation of the rise of the Russian Empire.

The Russian Empire occupies about 80% of the territory of the black soil region of Eastern Europe. In the competition with Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire and other countries, it is inherently in an advantageous position. Even after one or two defeats, it is difficult to crisis the country. fundamental,

Like the Russian Empire, other countries occupying three black soil regions also have innate strategic advantages. Under this strategic advantage, as long as there are no extremely faint monarchs and arrogant ruling classes in the country, even if they encounter several times Serious setbacks can also be used to recover quickly, while neighbouring countries that are the enemy of the four black soil regions of the world, unless there is a particularly wise monarch and the opportunity to coincide with the other country ’s domestic political situation, and then decisively send troops to occupy the other side. The black soil area can achieve the rise of the country in this way, but this probability is extremely rare in the entire history. Even the countries occupying the four black soil areas now, only the Russian Empire and the South American and Han countries have taken advantage of their late advantages. In the centuries after 1500, the black soil area was gradually taken away from other neighbors by using the advantage of force. (Northeast China has been Chinese sovereignty since ancient times, and the United States has inherited British colonial rights and is not included in it.)

Where there is water, there are fish, and where there are mountains, there are countless mountains and wild animals.

Thinking back to taking over the post of head of the German military officer's teaching regiment, I know about the natural geography of Han's native country. While admiring West, while admiring it, he couldn't help feeling a little worried about Germany's future strategic situation.

The Russian Empire occupied the black soil is a good time to catch up. The small European countries in the 1500s gave the Russian Empire time to grow.

Although the South Korean nation has missed the best time for its rise, fortunately, the South American Chinese have a visionary leader. The Han emperor not only possesses superb military talents, but also is good at bringing various talents to his side for his use, and What's even more rare is that he seems to have a pair of eyes to see the future. Before every incident involving changes in the situation in South America, he can always prepare one year or even several years in advance, and then lead at the most appropriate time for the event to erupt. The army made the most correct decision in hindsight.

This was the case in the Peruvian uprising that took place in 1868, and so was the participation in the Paraguayan melee, even in the follow-up to the First Argentina War, the Second Argentina War, and the First English-Chinese War.

取 Win the chaos in the chaotic situation in South America, and use the wars and conflicts between Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Britain, and the United States to gradually strengthen the power of the South American nation.

Sometimes, West couldn't help but wonder, was Li Mingyuan really the son of Taiyi in the mouth of the Han nationals, was it the Taiyi **** they believed in came down to save the South American Chinese gods?

If not, how can you explain Li Mingyuan's prophetic decision every time?

West sees no reason why Li Mingyuan second thoughts of the enemy, but he is unwilling to attribute this reason to delusions such as deification.

Because in his view, the so-called destiny that is now respected by the Han nationals is exactly the same as the "God's darling" of the white Americans. Of course, the difference between the two is that the Americans inherited the British The colonial legacy left, and then shamelessly regarded bullying and slaughtering the Indians as their own achievements, and the rise of the South American Han country was only an accident of history, which made the South American Chinese have a rare leader like Li Mingyuan. Only completed the transformation from wandering labor to the nationals of the big South American nations.

Compared with the first time Chinese people were contacted by the Chinese in Peru 21 years ago, the impression of West by Han Chinese was completely different.

Twenty-one years ago, the Chinese laborers who occupied the Peruvian mines were all thin-skinned, wearing only work clothes covering their bodies, braids on their heads, and pessimism and fear of the future situation in their eyes. He believes that with just such a group of numb and thin slaves (at that time, Chinese workers were slaves in the eyes of Westerners), it was impossible to survive the siege of the Peruvian army. There was no use to give the uprising Chinese workers a chance to meet, but just sent a priest on board to negotiate with them.

After that, the changes in the situation in South America completely exceeded Wester's expectations. The Chinese workers who uprised not only defeated the Peruvian army who came to besiege, but also finally established a country in South America.

Twenty-one years have passed and I set foot on the land of South America for the third time.

Feeling the changes of the Chinese in South America, he remembered a western myth story in his mind. It is said that the undead bird will meet every five hundred years.

He burned himself once in fragrant wood, and then resurrected from the ashes after death,

During the period of being sold as a contract laborer, after experiencing death-like torture, and then following the guidance of a leader, he awakened the will to fight, which may be another reason for the South American Chinese to rebirth.

He thought of the changes in the mentality of the South American Chinese. West seemed to casually ask Xu Zhixuan, who was with him, "Mr. Major, why do you choose to be a soldier?"

West's sudden question made Xu Zhixuan, who was also watching the scenery outside the window, a bit strange. After a silence, Xu Zhixuan seriously replied: "My motherland is suffering. My compatriots not only endure the suffering of hunger and disease, but also Often insulted by foreigners, and now, in South America, people outside the train window can eat white rice and fresh beef and lamb every day, children can get the opportunity to go to school, adults and children can be reunited, don't worry The oppression of the government and the insults of foreigners are the reasons why I am a soldier! "

"Mr. Major, you are a real soldier, and I admire your spirit."

West felt that he had the answer he wanted, and continued: "I have been to many places before, and in the Mainland and Southeast Asia, I have also encountered some cases of British, American, and French bullying Chinese, although I Also white, but I do n’t agree with their insults to ordinary people. "

"Thank you for your approval."

Xu Zhixuan said, "I am a Han soldier and a Chinese. As long as the overseas Chinese are still discriminated and humiliated by other countries, as long as the mainland compatriots are still under the brutal rule of the Qing court, as long as the Han country has not been able to obtain Other countries have the same international status, and I will not take off my military uniform in a day! "

The young soldiers were so passionate that they dared to sacrifice their blood for the rejuvenation of the country and the nation. Eighteen years ago, like many Prussian soldiers, they embraced this **** faith of Xu Zhixuan and devoted themselves to a full-scale decisive battle against the French Empire. ,

In the Franco-Prussian War, Prussia won the victory and promoted the establishment of the German Empire, but the Second German Empire was only a small German. He did not complete the final unification of the German nation. Austria, Bohemia, Luxembourg and other traditional German regions are still independent. Outside, and the Franco-Prussian war did not hurt France's foundations, the French Republic after the defeat is rapidly recovering.

In 1875, Bismarck, the prime minister of the Empire, intended to start a war against France and slow down the recovery of the French Republic. However, it was not successful because of the obstruction of Britain and Russia.

After 1875, the strength of the French Republic quickly recovered, and the colonies that controlled the world ’s second largest colonies provided nutrients for the French mainland. After more than a decade, France ’s pre-war strength not only re-posed a threat to Germany, It also used the huge economic power of France to constantly draw the Russian Empire together against Germany.

Being in the middle of Europe, the North and South sides are facing the two powerful enemies of France and the Russian Empire. Although the German Empire is stronger than before the reunification, the pressure is also greater!

Surrounded by strong enemies, the German empire is facing a worse situation than the South American and Han countries. If the South American and Han country fails to expand, it can also use the vast territory to resist the empire's attack. Once Germany weakens, it will inevitably face a situation of being divided up by the surrounding powers.

A small country around France and Germany feared the threat of Germany. They could not give Germany a chance to rise again. Therefore, there were only two ways before the German government. One was to defeat France and Russia and seize Eastern Europe, which laid the foundation of the country's prosperity. The second is to accept the fate of being divided up in the black soil area and the Rhine river valley. Be willing to be a small country. As for the peaceful development, being a good man who is harmless to humans can only be regarded as a dead end. France and the Russian Empire will not give Germany this. opportunity.

He has had more contacts with the South American Han army, and West has also seen Germany's shadow from the eastern traditional history.

Germany is similar to Wei during the Warring States Period, and Qin and Zhao are similar to the Russian Empire and France in Europe.

When Wei was strong, the neighboring countries united to attack Wei. When Wei was weak, it would be attacked by various countries because of its central position, and gradually moved to the fate of being divided up.

Wei Guo failed to seize the opportunity to seize the Guanzhong region during the period of prosperity, giving Qin a chance to overtake, and Germany also lost the opportunity to completely weaken the strength of the French Republic.

Wei Wei is located in the center, and it is difficult to maintain a strategic advantage over neighboring countries. Germany is located in central Europe. To suppress the revenge of France, in addition to maintaining the growth of the country ’s strength, it must also find more allies to support it.

During the development of the country, the Russian Empire was the most powerful ally, but under the guidance of the French economic vote, the Russian Empire became more and more inclined to France, and because of the contradictions between Russia and Austria-Hungary, the relationship between Germany and the Russian Empire was affected. It's getting deeper.

Outside Europe, the Ottoman Empire is one of Germany's favorite allies. By pulling the Ottoman Empire, it can hold the Russian Empire from the side and South Korea and the Han. It can provide German overseas industrial development and provide much-needed overseas markets.

Han's population and industry are developing rapidly. The large amount of industrial machinery ordered by the Han government and the people from Germany each year has brought considerable economic income to the German industry. At the same time, the technological exchanges between Han and Germany in emerging fields have been more Improved the market competitiveness of Germany's emerging industries, and provided a powerful help for the German chemical, power, and internal combustion engine industries to occupy the European market.

Countries and markets outside Europe have been divided up by Britain and France. Although the Ottoman Empire, which is closer, has vast land ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~, but more than 90% of the control area is desert. The lack of local resources, The South American Han country is comparable, but the level of industrial development is far inferior to the South American Han country. It can provide German local industries with a limited market share. Therefore, in the field of overseas investment, the South American Han country has no substitute for Germany. Role.

Take Germany's import and export volume in the past ten years as an example. In 1880, German exports totaled 2.9 billion marks and imports totaled 2.8 billion marks. Among them, imports and exports to China accounted for one-seventh of the total, about 814 million marks.

德国 German imports and exports increased to 7 billion marks in 1888, and

The total volume of imports and exports to China rose to 1.7 billion marks, accounting for about a quarter of Germany's total imports and exports.

Han is Germany's largest importer of overseas agricultural and animal husbandry products and processed agricultural products. It is also Germany's largest exporter of overseas industrial products. German capital accounts for about 65% of South American foreign-funded enterprises. Market share, and for Germany, German capital accounts for about 72% of the entire German overseas investment market.

In terms of both economic and political fields, the cooperation between Germany and the Han Dynasty has practical benefits for both sides, and after the Han Dynasty restored political relations with the UK, in order to prevent the relationship between the Han and German parties from being affected by the British Influence, and once again strengthened the relationship between Germany and the Han country, in some aspects of the Han country more concerned about (such as the issue of restrictions on foreign students, the 1884 Berlin Conference), to give the necessary explanations and a certain degree of compromise, it is West and The main purpose of the visit of the Minister of the Republic of China Roberts was Roberts.
