(0866)
In Paris in the spring of 1643 AD, the atmosphere was obviously a little deserted.
It¡¯s always rainy in Paris in spring. In the mist and mist, everything was wet. In the eyes of most people, spring in Paris actually has no beauty at all. Especially those patients with rheumatoid arthritis are most afraid of the spring in Paris. And people suffering from respiratory diseases will also not like spring in Paris.
Of course, compared with nearby London, Paris is much better. The rainy season in London is the saddest. After the White Army entered London for a period of time, they evacuated on their own initiative and stationed themselves in places such as Coventry and Liverpool. The fundamental reason is that the weather in London is not suitable for garrisoning. The difficulty of keeping ammunition is really too great.
It has been some time since the White Army entered Paris, and the local residents have not had much contact with the White Army. Generally speaking, if there is no need, there will be no intersection between the two groups of people. The main obstacle is, of course, language. At that time, there was no such thing as international students. Suddenly, people from two worlds collided without warning, and one can imagine what the consequences would be.
Conflicts between new immigrants and indigenous people can also be seen everywhere. As the White Army entered Paris, many traders who followed the White Army also entered Paris. These vendors come from all over the world and have completely different customs and habits. It is indeed difficult for Paris to accept so many new faces at once.
In order to maintain public security and order in Paris, military police units of the White Army can be seen everywhere on the streets of Paris. They all wore special white uniforms and were equipped with special brown Type 56 semi-automatic rifles. This is a ceremonial gun exclusively used by the White Army. Some military police officers who are on duty outside also use this kind of specially-made firearms to show the majesty of the White Army.
The Paris Peace Conference has been held for two months, and there has been no result. Newspapers in Paris and around the world are paying attention to the latest news about the Paris Peace Conference. But unfortunately, there has been no fresh news at all in the past few days. Representatives from various countries participating in the negotiations argued with each other and fought openly and secretly at the peace conference.
As the world¡¯s leader and the host of the Paris Peace Conference, the White Army has never made a clear stance. The White Army did not make a clear statement, not to make the Paris Peace Conference fruitless at all, but to deepen the conflicts among European countries. The White Army does not want to see European countries working together to deal with foreign enemies, so they must be allowed to fight among themselves.
In fact, as the war continues, all Europeans have become desperate. They definitely can't afford to fight. They hoped for an honorable surrender. However, at this point, even if they wanted to surrender completely, they could no longer meet the needs of the White Army. The White Army not only demanded their surrender, but also dismembered them to a certain extent.
The first four countries that the White Army will dismember are France, Spain, Poland, and Sweden. At that time, Prussia had not yet taken shape, and there were still many grand duchies, so there was no need to dismember it. What Xu Xingxia meant was to divide these four relatively unified countries into three or four places, implement partitioned rule, and completely eliminate their ability to resist.
As the White Army continues to increase its troops in Europe, European countries have completely lost their determination to resist the White Army. Even if they were dissatisfied and angry with the White Army's dismemberment plan, they could only accept it helplessly. Because, if they don't accept it, the white army will directly come in and implement direct control.
In front of the bayonet of the white-coated army, even Gustav could only sigh helplessly, lamenting why he was so young and so bright. Without the arrival of the White Army, Gustavus would still be considered the number one hero in Europe! As a result, he was nothing when the White Army came. Of course, these are not Gustav's original words, the meaning is more or less the same. Gustav definitely didn't know who Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were.
Xu Xingxia didn¡¯t pay much attention to the Paris Peace Conference. It was mainly run by people from the Foreign Affairs Department. Siwen Bai stole the show this time. How many national powers need to see his face! Who doesn¡¯t want to get the maximum benefit? And if you want to get the maximum benefit, you must first get the support of the White Army!
Finally, after half a year of procrastination, the Paris Peace Conference ended. According to the agreements of the Paris Peace Conference, all European countries were broken up into three or four new Grand Duchys. These grand duchies are all affiliated countries of the Ming Empire and accept the rule of the Ming Empire. They needed to pay taxes to the Ming Empire. Their national defense affairs are all handled by the White Army.
Why is there no foreign affairs? The entire world is occupied by the White Army, so where is there any diplomacy left? Unless aliens show up. It's a pity that no matter who the gods believe in, under the control of the White Army,They dare not appear in front of the sword. This has inevitably led to many religious people feeling that they have been deceived.
Originally, Europeans were worried that the arrival of the White Army would bring them the so-called Yellow Peril, that is, brutality and killing. The Huns and Mongols brought them this kind of yellow disaster. However, they soon discovered they were wrong. What the White Army brought to Europe was entirely advanced technology. Trains are coming, railways are coming, newspapers are coming, cable telegraphs are coming, alternating current is coming All of these will fundamentally improve the lives of Europeans.
As the saying goes, if you have milk, you are a mother. Europeans do not have a strong national identity, and their civilization is actually far from enlightened. Under the fragmentation and disintegration of the White Army, the little bit of national identity they had has long since disappeared. Under the conscious guidance of the White Army, they slowly regarded themselves as members of the Ming Empire.
In Europe, learning square Chinese characters has become the mainstream among young people. In all schools, elementary education textbooks such as Three Character Classic, Thousand Character Classic, and Qionglin for Kindergarten have become compulsory courses. A large number of Han people from the East traveled across the ocean and came to distant Europe to serve as Chinese teachers for local people and spread Han culture from multiple angles.
There are many fashionable Europeans who give themselves Chinese names and pretend to be fake Chinese or Japanese. Of course, due to limited level, names like Shi Taiying, Du Ziteng, Zhu Yiqun, Yang Yizhi, Pang Guangda are inevitable. However, the Han people were friendly and quickly helped them correct the problem. So their names became Shi Taiying, Du Zibuteng, Zhu Yiqun, Yang Xiaozhi, Pang Guangbuta
Xu Xingxia¡¯s bond with Europeans is also reflected in the large number of immigrants. He transferred a large number of immigrants from Southeast Asia to Europe. At that time, Nanyang was also an uncivilized world. The local indigenous people are also accustomed to eating, drinking and defecating anywhere. Their arrival immediately plunged Europe into chaos, with yellow and white objects everywhere on the streets.
In fact, Europe at that time was not very civilized. It was also dirty and messy. Many residents did not have toilets in their homes. It was not uncommon to urinate and defecate on the streets. The arrival of the Nanyang natives was nothing compared to the local residents.
In Paris in 1643 AD, there was no Versailles, only the Louvre. After Xu Xingxia arrived in Paris, he stayed at the Louvre. With the arrival of Xu Xingxia, the Louvre has naturally become the seat of the highest power in Europe. At the same time, it is also the seat of the highest power in the world. Every order issued here determines the fate of countless people.
At this time, Xu Xingxia was already in his forties. As long as this person gets older, his health will definitely not be as good as when he was young. According to the advice of his personal doctor, Xu Xingxia has passed the age where he can act ridiculously. Therefore, married life must be moderate.
Xu Xingxia himself also wanted to live longer, so he naturally obeyed the words of his accompanying doctor. Therefore, five years ago, there were no new faces in his harem. However, even so, there were still a hundred people.
Fortunately, this amount is already very satisfactory to Zhu Yilan, the master of the harem. She originally thought that Xu Xingxia also wanted to have a harem of three thousand. The white-clothed army fought everywhere and gathered countless beauties. Some of them kept sending beauties to Xu Xingxia. Being able to control the number within one hundred is already amazing. Zhu Yilan's own father was an emperor in name only, and he had more than a hundred concubines in the harem!
This time Xu Xingxia came to Europe without any wives or concubines, so he came alone. Because women must not be able to bear the long journey by boat. Even if they want to visit Europe, they have to wait until the Suez Canal is opened. However, after arriving in Europe, he was not lonely at all. Because several of his sons are here.
As time travellers, the management education of Xu Xingxia and his sons is completely different from others. Other fathers basically treat their children as their own property and interfere in their lives as they please, instead of treating them as independent individuals. Xu Xingxia, however, regarded the children as independent individuals and gave them full rights to grow. In most cases, Xu Xingxia will not interfere with the children's adult life.
Because of Xu Xingxia¡¯s discipline model, in general, children are not too afraid of him. Children are more afraid of their mothers than of their fathers. Because their mothers are more eager for their children to succeed and become successful. If they did something wrong, or if they didn't do well enough, their mother would always be more anxious than they were.
Many times, Xu Xingxia usually doesn¡¯t care when children make mistakes. He thought it was no big deal. Whose child doesn¡¯t make mistakes? How can you grow up without making mistakes? On the other hand, their mother was very nervous, feeling that her son was not living up to expectations and would definitely be disappointed by his father.If you don't, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat in the future. Actually, that's not the case at all.
This time, the mothers were not around, only the father was, and Xu Canxu and others were completely relaxed. They rarely have time to leave the army and come to their father's side to enjoy life. They don't dare to do things like eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. If you do bad things in front of Xu Xingxia, doesn't it mean that you don't want to die quickly enough? Let their respective mothers know that it would be strange if they were not beaten to death.
However, sleeping in, overeating, playing basketball day and night, or playing cards are not uncommon. The life in the army is always so tense and hard. It is rare to have a chance to relax, so naturally it is necessary to relax well. Fortunately, there were no computer games at that time, otherwise, they would definitely have to lie in front of the computer and become completely useless.
Seeing that his sons have grown up and have their own jobs, Xu Xingxia is also happy in his heart. His requirements for his children are not high at all. With their respective abilities, they can survive independently even without themselves as their father. This is enough. As long as everyone can survive alone in this world, they are basically qualified.
Many princes and princes in the past dynasties appear to be smart, capable, capable in literature, military, and knowledgeable, but in fact, their ability to survive is not strong at all. Without the protection of their father or family, they would have died in nowhere.
On this day, because it was raining again, Xu Canxu and others were unable to organize outdoor activities, so a few people got together to play cards. Landlord fight. As the eldest son, Xu Canxu had very bad luck in poker, and was soon put into disgrace by his younger brothers.
During the commotion, Xu Xingxia suddenly came. A group of people stood up hastily. The seventh child, Xu Xiangtian, took the cards away. Xu Xingxia waved his hand to ask them to sit down and said casually: "I have a question. Please help me find out more about it."
Xu Xiangtian, who has the most active personality, said: "Dad, what's the problem? Don't take the exam every day, okay? I just took the exam yesterday! Also, even if you have to take the exam, it shouldn't be so difficult, okay? I just graduated from I came from New Zealand to Paris, and the jet lag has not been adjusted yet. Compared with them, I am at a huge disadvantage."
Xu Xingxia said angrily: "You have been back for more than half a month and you haven't adjusted to the time difference yet? I can believe it, but the question is whether your brothers believe it or not. Did you do what I said in New Zealand? Why did you say The Maori people are completely different from what I know? I feel like you don¡¯t understand them deeply at all.¡±
Xu Xiangfeng said with a smile: "He is talking nonsense. What kind of jet lag does he have? He was very energetic when playing cards. He has the best poker luck today! But, Dad, it seems of no use for you to ask Lao Qi to understand the Maori people." ? The Maori have no influence on New Zealand at all! They can't threaten us. Besides, the Maori are not yet civilized. It would be too dangerous for Lao Qi to rush in. If something goes wrong"
Xu Xingxia said disapprovingly: "Whether there is any danger depends on each person's ability."
As the eldest son of Xu Xingxia, Xu Canxu has been following the activities of the Fourth Fleet. He knows some information. Seeing Xu Xiangtian being interrogated by his father, he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Dad, is it about the disarmament of the navy?"
Xu Xingxia nodded and said, "Well, you should have gotten the news too."
Several children nodded, indicating that they had indeed learned the news. In fact, the news about the Navy's preparations for disarmament had been spread a few months ago. It's just that the final decision has not been made. The best decision must be made by Xu Xingxia. As for Xu Xingxia's current appearance, it was obvious that he hadn't thought about it well and was dragging his feet.
With the gradual end of the war, naval disarmament is inevitable. After all, the amount of military expenditures of the navy is really too large. Building new warships, maintaining old warships, building new naval ports, and maintaining old naval ports all require large sums of money. At present, the White Army's navy military expenditure is several times higher than that of the army, which has long aroused the army's dissatisfaction.
Of course, this time of disarmament, not only the navy needs to be disarmed, but the army also needs to be disarmed. But relatively speaking, it is slightly less difficult to disarmament the army, while it is more difficult to disarmament the navy. The reason is simple, the personnel can be laid off, but what about the battleships?
The White Army Navy currently has at least 600 large warships. This is only a large battleship with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons. The number of warships with a displacement of less than 1,000 tons is even greater. If all these warships were retained, the annual maintenance costs would be an astronomical figure. Therefore, disarmament is imperative.
But what to do with the dismantled warships? Xu Xingxia and the top brass of the Navy have been undecided. The normal channel should be to seal it, throw the warship to a remote port, and let it go its own way.??Self-destruction. This is the simplest method and the cheapest method. The world is so big, and there are remote ports everywhere.
However, naval officers have deep feelings for battleships and feel that it is too inhumane to seal up battleships and let those still good battleships slowly decay. It is indeed a pity that hundreds of large warships are piled up in the port, exposed to wind, rain, sun and rain, and eventually slowly rot away. Considering the navy's various emotions, Xu Xingxia himself did not agree with the sealing.
The Zheng He fleet before the Ming Empire also mothballed a large number of warships after the implementation of the sea ban policy. As a result, the Ming Empire was miserably bullied by its enemies on the ocean. Xu Xingxia felt that if the White Army Navy also sealed a large number of warships, it would be a bad sign. It would be really sad if the Ming Empire suffered the same fate in the future. However, if the battleship is not sealed, there is no better way to deal with it.
Xu Canhuai said: "Refit it and use it as a merchant ship."
Transforming warships into merchant ships is indeed a way out. In fact, this is also a suggestion that the top brass of the Navy agrees with. The warships of the White Army are generally equipped with a small number of cannons. After the cannons are removed, they can indeed be used as merchant ships. However, in terms of cost performance, it is completely unable to compete with ordinary merchant ships. After all, a battleship is a battleship. Even if the cannons are removed, it is still a battleship, and the cost of maintenance is very high. .
Xu Xiangtian said thoughtfully: "It would be great if there was a private person who could acquire it."
Xu Xingxia¡¯s expression moved slightly. Private acquisition? Shift the costs borne by the state onto private individuals? Or, simply sell the battleship to a private collection?
Xu Xiangruo shook his head and said, "Isn't it too dangerous to sell it to private individuals? If someone rearms these battleships, wouldn't it cause serious consequences?"
Xu Xiangfeng said disapprovingly: "There is no danger! With so many warships scattered all over the world, where is the danger? No matter how rich you are, you only have a collection of three or five warships. The Navy will never let others organize one. Fleet, right? Who has the ability to gather them all? This is simply impossible!"
??It makes sense when everyone thinks about it carefully. With so many warships scattered around the world, it is estimated that no one can gather them all. Besides, if there is such a sign, the white-clad army and navy will not be left alone. The disarmament of the navy only involves cutting off some personnel and warships. The most elite parts must still be preserved!
Xu Xiangtian thought for a while and suddenly said: "How about building a battleship memorial hall."
Xu Xingxia's eyes lit up slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Memorial hall? It's a good idea!"
He is a time traveler and is well-informed. Xu Xiangtian just mentioned this suggestion, and he already has a comprehensive plan in his mind. There is absolutely no problem in building dozens of large-scale battleship memorials around the world. Anyway, the Battleship Memorial Museum does not require much cost to maintain, and it itself has a certain amount of ticket revenue.
"The battleship can not only die with dignity in the memorial hall, but also provide a certain degree of patriotic education to future citizens. It may not be urgent in other places, but it is quite important in the coastal areas of the Ming Empire. It is estimated that this plan will also receive the full support of the Navy. Of course they hope that their battleships can be stored in the memorial hall for future generations to pay their respects.
Xu Xiangtian thought for a while and then said: "In addition, naval schools in various places can also accept a batch of warships! Just treat them as free training ships! They need to purchase training ships anyway, so the navy might as well give them a batch A real battleship, all in one step!¡±
Xu Canxu nodded and said enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, Lao Qi's suggestion is very good. The Naval School needs these real battleships the most. Moreover, some of the officers and soldiers on the original battleships can also serve as visiting instructors at the Naval School, giving They explain the history of war. When it comes to familiarity with battleships, no one is better than them."
Others also agree with this suggestion and think it is a good method. In this way, not only can the warships die with dignity, but the officers and soldiers of the navy can also leave their last glory for the rest of their lives. Xu Canxu then made a brief summary and handed it to Xu Xingxia. The next day, Xu Xingxia officially issued an order to reorganize the White Army Navy.
The White Army Navy ultimately maintained a size of approximately 400 large warships. These three hundred warships belong to thirteen fleets. Each fleet has thirty warships. Ten of the fleets are stationed at strategic locations around the world, and the other three fleets are mobile fleets that perform mobile combat missions. The specific locations are as follows:
The First Fleet is stationed in Japan.
The Second Fleet is stationed on Taiwan Island.
The Third Fleet is stationed in the Strait of Malacca.
The Fourth Fleet is stationed at Caliheit,
The Fifth Fleet is preparing to station in the Red Sea,
The Sixth Fleet is stationed in the Mediterranean Sea,
The Seventh Fleet is stationed in the North Sea,
The Eighth Fleet is stationed in the Caribbean,
The Ninth Fleet is stationed in Australia,
The Tenth Fleet is stationed in the Strait of Gibraltar.
As a mobile fleet, the Eleventh Fleet is stationed in the Bohai Bay, with its home port in Weihaiwei.
The Twelfth Fleet is stationed in Leizhou and its home port is in Zhanjiang.
The Thirteenth Fleet is stationed on the Island of Ceylon, and its home port is the Port of Ceylon.
