In the spring of 1643 in Paris, the atmosphere was noticeably deserted. [No pop-up novel network]

In Paris in spring, there is always so much rain. When the smoke and rain are misty, everywhere is wet. In the eyes of most people, spring in Paris is actually not beautiful at all. Especially for those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, the most feared thing is spring in Paris. And people with respiratory diseases will not like spring in Paris either.

Of course, compared to nearby London, Paris is much better. The rainy season in London is the saddest. After entering London for a period of time, the White Shirts took the initiative to evacuate and were stationed in Coventry and Liverpool. The fundamental reason is that the weather in London is not suitable for the garrison. The difficulty of storing ammunition is too great.

It has been some time since the White Coats entered Paris, and there is not much contact between the local residents and the White Coats. Generally speaking, if it is not necessary, there will be no intersection between the two groups of people. The main obstacle, of course, is the language. At that time, there was no such thing as an international student. Suddenly, people from two worlds collide together without warning, and you can imagine what kind of consequences it will cause.

Conflicts between new immigrants and indigenous peoples are also everywhere. As the White Army entered Paris, many traders who followed the White Army's actions also entered Paris. These vendors come from all over the world, and their customs are completely different. It is indeed a bit difficult for Paris to accept so many fresh faces at once.

In order to maintain law and order in Paris, the military police units of the White Clothes Army can be seen everywhere on the streets of Paris. They all wore special white uniforms and were armed with special coffee-colored Type 5 or 6 semi-automatic rifles. This is a ceremonial gun for the White Army. Some of the gendarmes who went out on duty also used this special gun to show the majesty of the white-clothed army.

The Paris Peace Conference has been in place for two months, and nothing has been done. Newspapers in Paris and around the world are keeping up with the latest news from the Paris Peace Conference. Unfortunately, in the last few days, there has been no new news. Representatives of various countries participating in the talks quarreled with each other at the peace conference, fighting openly and covertly.

As the world boss and the host of the Paris Peace Conference, the white army has never made a clear statement. The White Army did not make a clear statement, not to make the Paris Peace Conference inconclusive, but to deepen the contradictions between European countries. The White Army does not want to see the nations of Europe working together to deal with foreign enemies, so they must be left to fight each other.

In fact, the war has been going on until now, and all Europeans have despaired. To fight, they will definitely not be able to afford to fight. They hope for a dignified surrender. However, at this point, even if they want to surrender completely, they can no longer meet the needs of the white army. The White Coats not only demanded that they surrender, but also to dismember them to a certain extent.

The first to be dismembered by the White Army were France, Spain, Poland, Sweden and other four countries. At that time, Prussia had not yet taken shape, and there were many grand duchies, but there was no need to dismember. Xu Xingxia's meaning was to divide these four relatively unified countries into three or four places, implement partition rule, and completely eliminate their ability to resist.

With the continuous increase of the White Army's troops in Europe, European countries have completely lost their determination to resist the White Army. For the dismemberment plan of the white army, even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, even if they are resentful, they can only accept it helplessly. Because, if they don't accept it, the white-clothed army will directly kill them and exercise direct rule.

In front of the bayonets of the white-clothed army, it was Gustav, and he only had a long sigh helplessly, lamenting why he was born and bright. If it weren't for the arrival of the White Army, he Gustav would be the No. 1 hero in Europe! As a result, as soon as the white-clothed army came, he was nothing. Of course, this is not Gustav's exact words, it just means the same. Gustav certainly didn't know which one Zhou Yu or Zhuge Liang was.

Xu Xingxia's attention to the Paris Peace Conference was also not very high, and it was mainly the people of the Foreign Affairs Department who operated it. Bai Siwen is in the limelight this time. How many national forces need to look at his complexion! Who doesn't want to get the most out of it? And if you want to get the most benefits, the first thing is to get the support of the white army!

Eventually, after half a year of procrastination, the Paris Peace Conference ended. According to the agreement of the Paris Peace Conference, the countries of Europe were divided into three or four new Grand Duchies. These grand duchies all belonged to the member states of the Ming Empire and accepted the rule of the Ming Empire. They were required to pay taxes to the Ming Empire. Their national defense affairs are all handled by the white-clothed army.

Why is there no foreign service? The whole world is occupied by the White Army, where is there any diplomacy to speak of? Unless there are aliens. It's a pity that no matter who the gods believe in, they don't dare to appear in front of the bayonets of the white-clothed army. This inevitably leads many religious people to feel that they have been deceived.

Originally, the Europeans were worried that the arrival of the White Clothes Army would bring them the so-called Yellow Peril, that is, barbarism and killing. The Huns and Mongols at the beginning brought them such a yellow peril. However, they soon found out that they were wrong. What the White Coats brought to Europe was completely advanced technology. The train came, the railroad came, the newspaper came, the cable telegraph came, the alternating current came...... All this will fundamentally improve the lives of Europeans.

As the saying goes, if you have milk, you are a mother. Europeans don't have too strong national surnames, and their civilization is actually far from being civilized. Under the division and collapse of the white-clothed army, the few national surnames they had have have long been gone. Under the conscious guidance of the white-clothed 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, Mongolian textbooks such as the Three Character Classic, Thousand Character Text, and Qionglin for Kindergarten have become compulsory courses. A large number of Han people from the East have traveled across the ocean to Europe to serve as Chinese teachers for the locals, spreading Han culture from multiple perspectives.

There are many fashionable Europeans who have given themselves Chinese names and pretended to be fake men and devils. Of course, due to the limited level, what Shi Taiying, Du Ziteng, Zhu Yiqun, Yang Yizhi, Pang Guangda...... and so on, and it is inevitable. However, the Han people were friendly and quickly helped them to correct themselves. So their names became Shi Buying, Du Zibuteng, Zhu Yi Daqun, Yang Yixiaozhi, and Pang Guangda...... Xu Xingxia's fetters to Europeans are also manifested in a large number of immigrants. He sent a large number of immigrants from the South Seas to Europe. At that time, Nanyang was also an uncivilized world. The local natives are also accustomed to eating and drinking Lazar in the open. Their arrival immediately turned Europe into chaos, and the streets were full of yellow and white things.

In fact, at that time, in Europe, civilization was not bad, it was dirty and messy, many residents did not have toilets at home, and the phenomenon of open defecation on the street was not uncommon. The arrival of the natives of Nanyang is nothing more than a drop in the bucket compared to the local population.

In Paris in 1643, there was no Palace of Versailles, only the Louvre. After Xu Xingxia arrived in Paris, he stayed at the Louvre. With the arrival of Xu Xingxia, the Louvre naturally became the highest power in Europe. At the same time, it is also the highest power in the world. Every command issued here determines the fate of countless people.

At this time, Xu Xingxia was already in his forties. As long as this person is old, his body will definitely not be as good as when he was young. According to the advice of the accompanying doctor, Xu Xingxia is past the age when he can be ridiculous. Therefore, it is important to live in moderation as a couple.

Xu Xingxia himself also wants to live longer, and he naturally obeys the words of the doctor with him. So, five years ago, there were no new faces in his harem. Still, there were a hundred of them.

Fortunately, this amount is already very satisfactory to Zhu Yilan, the master of the harem. She originally thought that Xu Xingxia would also get a 3,000 harem. The white-clothed army fought everywhere, I don't know how many beauties they collected, and people kept sending beauties to Xu Xingxia. Being able to keep the number to 100 is already remarkable. Zhu Yilan's own father is a nominal emperor, and there are more than 100 concubines in the harem!

This time, Xu Xingxia came to Europe, without a wife and concubine, and came alone. Because it is too far to travel by boat, the woman must not be able to withstand it. Even if they want to come to Europe, they will have to wait until the Suez Canal opens. However, after arriving in Europe, he was not lonely at all. Because, his sons, are here.

As a traverser, Xu Xingxia and his sons' management education is completely different from others. Other fathers basically treat their children as their own property and interfere in their children's lives as they like, rather than as an individual who can read. Xu Xingxia treats children as individuals who can read, giving them full power to grow. In the vast majority of cases, Xu Xingxia will not interfere with the children's reading life.

Because of Xu Xingxia's discipline mode, in general, the children are not too afraid of him. Children are more afraid of their mothers than their fathers. Because their mother is even more eager for her son to become a dragon and become a talent. If they do something wrong, or if they don't do it well enough, their mother is always more anxious than they are.

Many times, children make mistakes or something, and Xu Xingxia generally doesn't care. He didn't think it was a big deal. Whose children don't make mistakes? How do you grow up without making mistakes? However, their mother was very nervous, and felt that her son would not be angry, and that he would definitely lose points with his father again, and that there would definitely be no good fruit to eat in the future. Actually, it's not like that at all.

This time, the mothers were not around, only the father was there, Xu Canxu and others, but they were completely relaxed. They rarely have time to leave the army and come to their father's side to enjoy life. Eating, drinking, gambling, such a thing, they dare not do. Doing bad things in front of Xu Xingxia, isn't this because he didn't die fast enough? Let their respective mothers know that it would be strange if they didn't kill them.

However, sleeping lazy, overeating, playing ball all night long, or playing cards are not uncommon. The life of the army is always so tense and hard, and it is rare to have a chance to relax, so it is natural to relax. Fortunately, there were no computer games at that time, otherwise, they would have had to lie down in front of the computer and completely scrap it.

Seeing that his sons have grown up and have their own jobs, Xu Xingxia is also happy in his heart. His requirements for children are not high at all. With their respective abilities, even without their own father, they can still read and survive. That's enough. As long as everyone can survive in this world alone, they are basically qualified.

Many princes and princes of all dynasties seem to be shrewd and capable, capable of writing and martial arts, and erudite and talented, but in fact, their survival ability is not strong at all. If it weren't for the protection of their father or family, they would have known where they would have died.

On this day, because it was a rainy day, Xu Canxu and others could not organize outdoor activities, so several people got together to play cards. Fight landlords. As the boss Xu Canxu, his luck was quite bad, and he was disgraced by several younger brothers after a while.

When he was making a noise, Xu Xingxia suddenly came. A group of people hurriedly stood up. The seventh Xu Xiangtian took the cards away. Xu Xingxia waved his hand to sit them down, and said casually: "There is a problem, you can help me refer to it." ”

Xu Xiangtian, who was the most active with the surname, said, "Dad, what's the problem?" Don't take exams every day, okay? I just took the exam yesterday! Also, even if you have to take the exam, don't be so difficult, okay? I've just come to Paris from New Zealand, and the jet lag hasn't gotten used to it. Compared to them, I suffered too much. ”

Xu Xingxia said angrily: "You've been back for more than half a month, and the jet lag hasn't adjusted yet?" I can believe it, but the question is whether your brothers believe it or not. Did you do what I said you would do in New Zealand? Why are you talking about Māori completely different from what I know? I have a feeling that you don't know them well at all. ”

Xu Xiangfeng said with a smile: "He's talking nonsense, where does he have any time difference?" When playing cards, the thief spirit, today the best luck is him! But, Dad, it doesn't seem to be useful for you to let Lao Qi get to know the Maori? The Maori have no influence on New Zealand at all! They don't threaten us either. Besides, the Maori people have not yet been civilized, and it is too dangerous for Lao Qimao to rush in. In case something goes wrong......"

Xu Xingxia said disappreciably: "Whether there is danger or not, it depends on everyone's ability." ”

Xu Canxu, as Xu Xingxia's eldest son, has been following the activities of the Fourth Fleet, and he knows some news. Seeing Xu Xiangtian being interrogated by his father, he hurriedly misspoke about the topic and said, "Dad, it's a matter of naval disarmament, right?" ”

Xu Xingxia nodded and said, "Well, you should also get the news." ”

Several of the children nodded, indicating that they had indeed learned the news. In fact, the news about the preparation of the Navy for disarmament had been spread several months ago. It's just that the final decision has never been made. The best decision must wait for Xu Xingxia to make it. And Xu Xingxia's current appearance obviously didn't think about it, so it dragged on.

With the gradual end of the war, the disarmament of the navy is inevitable, after all, the amount of military expenditure of the navy is too large. The construction of new warships, the maintenance of old ones, the construction of new naval ports, the maintenance of old ones, all require large sums of money. At present, the navy military expenditure of the white-clothed army is several times higher than that of most of the army, which has long aroused the dissatisfaction of the army.

Of course, this disarmament is not only the need for disarmament of the Navy, but also the need for disarmament of the Army. It is only relatively less difficult for the army to disarm, while it is more difficult for the navy to disarm. The reason is simple, personnel can be laid off, what to do with the battleship?

The White Coats Navy currently has at least six hundred or more large warships. This is just a large warship with a displacement of more than 1000 tons. And warships with a displacement of less than 1000 tons, there are even more of them. If all these warships were to be retained, the annual maintenance costs would be astronomical. Disarmament is therefore imperative.

However, what to do with the warships that have been dismantled? Xu Xingxia and the top brass of the navy have always been undecided. The normal channel should be mothballed, throw the battleship to some remote port, and leave him to fend for himself. This is the easiest way and the least expensive. The world is so big, and remote ports are everywhere.

However, the admirals had a deep affection for the battleship, and felt that the battleship was sealed in this way, and that those good battleships were slowly decayed, which was really too unsurnamed. It is indeed a pity that hundreds of large warships are piled up in the harbor like this, subjected to wind and rain, exposed to the sun, and finally slowly rotted. Considering the various emotions of the navy, Xu Xingxia himself is not very much in favor of mothballing.

Zheng He's fleet before the Ming Empire, after the implementation of the sea ban policy, also sealed a large number of warships. As a result, later, the Ming Empire was bullied by the enemy very badly on the ocean. Xu Xingxia felt that if the white-clothed navy also sealed a large number of warships, it would be a bad omen. In case there is a fate like the Ming Empire in the future, it will be really too sad. However, if the battleship is not mothballed, there is no better way to deal with it.

Xu Canhuai said: "Refit it and use it as a merchant ship." ”

The transformation of warships into merchant ships is indeed a way out. In fact, this is also a suggestion that the top brass of the Navy is more in favor of. The warships of the White Army are generally not equipped with many cannons, and after the cannons are dismantled, they can indeed be used as merchant ships. It's just that, in terms of surname price ratio, it is completely impossible to compete with ordinary merchant ships. After all, a battleship is a battleship, and 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 nice if there was a private person who could buy it." ”

Xu Xingxia's expression moved slightly. Private takeover? Passing on the costs borne by the state to private individuals? Or maybe sell the battleship to a private collection altogether?

Xu Xiangruo shook his head and said, "Selling it to a private person, that's too dangerous, right?" In case of...... Wouldn't someone re-arming these warships with serious consequences? ”

Xu Xiangfeng said disapprerovingly: "There is no danger!" With so many warships, scattered all over the world, where is there any danger? Even if you have money, you can only collect three or five warships. The Navy won't let someone else organize a fleet, right? Who has what it takes to bring them all together? It's impossible! ”

If you think about it carefully, it is also reasonable. With so many warships, scattered all over the world, it is estimated that no one can gather them all. Besides, if there are such signs, the white-clothed army and navy will not eat dry food. The disarmament of the navy is only to reduce some personnel and warships, and the most elite part still has to be preserved!

Xu Xiangtian thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Or, let's establish a battleship memorial." ”

Xu Xingxia's eyes lit up slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Memorial Hall? Quite a good idea! ”

He is a time-traveler and well-informed, Xu Xiangtian has just mentioned this suggestion, and he already has a comprehensive plan in his mind. All over the world, there is no problem at all in establishing dozens of large memorials to warships. Anyway, the battleship memorial doesn't require much to maintain, and it has a certain amount of ticket income in itself.

In the memorial hall, the battleship can not only die with dignity, but also carry out a certain degree of patriotic education for future citizens. Other places may not be in a hurry, but in the coastal areas of the Ming Empire, they are quite important. It is estimated that this plan will also receive the full support of the Navy. Of course, they hope that their warships can be stored in the memorial for future generations to admire.

Xu Xiangtian thought for a while, and then said: "In addition, naval schools in various places can also accept a batch of warships!" Think of it as a free training ship! They need to purchase training ships anyway, and the Navy simply gave them a batch of real warships, in one step! ”

Xu Canxu nodded and said enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, Lao Qi's suggestion is very good." These real battleships are most in need of the Naval School. Moreover, some of the officers and men on the original battleship could also serve as visiting instructors at the naval academy and explain the history of the war to them. Speaking of familiarity with battleships, no one is above them. ”

Others agree with this suggestion and think it's a good way to do it. In this way, not only can the battleship die a dignified death, but the officers and men of the navy can also leave the last glow for the rest of their lives. Xu Canxu immediately made a brief summary and handed it to Xu Xingxia. The next day, Xu Xingxia officially issued an order to reorganize the white-clothed army and navy.

In the end, the white-coated navy still maintained the size of about 400 large warships. These three hundred warships were subordinate to thirteen fleets. Each fleet had thirty warships. Ten of these fleets are stationed at strategic locations around the world, and the other three are mobile fleets that carry out mobile combat missions. The specific locations are as follows:

The First Fleet was stationed in Ben.

The Second Fleet is stationed on the island of Taiwan.

The Third Fleet is stationed in the Strait of Malacca.

The Fourth Fleet is stationed in Calihet, the Fifth Fleet is ready to be stationed in the Red Sea, the Sixth Fleet is stationed in the Mediterranean, the Seventh Fleet is stationed in the North Sea, the Eighth Fleet is stationed in the Caribbean, the Ninth Fleet is stationed in Australia, and the Tenth Fleet is stationed in the Strait of Gibraltar.

The 11th Fleet, as a mobile fleet, is stationed in Bohai Bay, and its home port is in Weihaiwei.

The 12th 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 in the port of Ceylon.
