Chapter 899: A loud bang

Previous Chapter

“…… The road is also a trip to the world. The selection of talents and abilities, the belief and harmony, so that people do not only kiss their relatives, do not only have their sons, so that the old have the end, the strong have use, the few have grown, the widows, the lonely and the sick, all have support. Men have a share, and women have a home. If you abandon the goods on the ground, you don't have to hide them for yourself; The power of evil does not come from the body, and it does not have to be for oneself. It is because of the conspiracy to close but not to prosper, to steal and thieves not to do, so to do not close the outside household, it is said to be the same. ”

The majestic "Datong Song" sounded in the Guangmingding Square of Kubalenburg, a place that was often used by the Divine Sect bigwigs to review the officers and soldiers of the Heavenly Dao Knights to show off the strength of the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom, and now it was a boiling sea of people. However, it was not the powerful Heavenly Dao Knights who gathered here, but countless men and women in overalls, among whom were either teenagers or old men.

After four years of world war, the Heavenly Dao Knights, which once claimed to have the world's first army and second air force, have collapsed. Although at the beginning of the war, relying on the armored forces accumulated over the years and the well-trained air force, the Heavenly Dao Knights once had a great upper hand. On the Western Front, together with the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Italy, the five kingdoms split from the Republic of Europa were divided.

The Republic of Europa was originally a cobbled together group of warlords, and Napoleon, who played a huge role in the founding of the state. Bonaparte and his Europa Revolutionary Party were not very powerful in their own right – they were a group of revolutionaries rather than warlord leaders. The essence of this revolution was that revolutionaries and warlords used each other to overthrow the Qing Dynasty that was in the way.

After the victory of the revolution, the liquidation of the Qing ruling class by the revolutionaries allowed them to carry out a less than complete land reform (the center of gravity of the land reform was in France and the Rhine valley in western Germany, which was also the center of government of the Republic of Europa). As a result of the agrarian reform, the power of the Republic of Europa was temporarily consolidated and the state had the financial resources to carry out industrial construction. In time, Napoleon and the Revolutionary Party may well build on the gains of France and the Rhine. Organize a powerful revolutionary army, sweep away the masses, and completely realize the reunification of the country.

But. Only in the 15th year after the victory of the revolution, the dictator of the western part of the Republic of Europa, Napoleon. Bonaparte died of cancer.

In a generation of strongmen Napoleon. After the death of Bonaparte. In order to fight for the throne of power he left behind, the Republic of Europa fought a twenty-decade civil war. Eventually, with the intervention of the Great Powers (none of whom wanted the unification of the Republic of Europe), the Republic of Europa split into the Republic of France, the Republic of Germany, the Republic of the Netherlands, the Republic of Bohemia, and the Republic of Austria-Hungary.

The twenty-year-long civil war severely devastated the economies of the five republics and interrupted the fledgling industrialization. Moreover, the 20-year Europa Civil War has also successfully promoted the great leap forward of the world's powerful technologies. When the war finally ended, the era of machine guns and artillery dominating the battlefield was gone, and the era of mechanized armies represented by aircraft and tanks had arrived! Even if the Europa Five had nationalism, there was no way to compete with the real powers.

In a way, there is another loser in this twenty civil war. It is the Ming Empire that dominates the world - although the Ming Empire is a centuries-old world hegemon, her foreign policy has not been very successful, far less than the hegemons of another time and space, Britain and the United States.

The reason for this is that Chen Dexing did not create a principle of diplomatic activities guided by purely national interests. Rather, it is to maintain the tributary diplomatic system based on the principle that Chinese civilization dominates the world. Such a diplomatic system and the thinking of the great power of the Celestial Empire, which has been imprinted in the hearts of all Ming people for hundreds of years, have bound the hands and feet of the Ming Empire. The Ming Empire has never been able to take harsh measures against the disobedient Huaxia vassal states - for example, the conquest of the Japanese Tiandao Kingdom hundreds of years ago was because it wanted to protect the dignity of the Huaxia people (Japan is a Shenzhou people, worships the way of heaven, and practices the "Chen Li", so it is regarded as the Zhuxia Kingdom by the Ming Dynasty in this time and space), and cannot engage in genocide, and it is also necessary to pinch its nose and talk about "rites" with the Taoist of the Eastern Sacred School of the Heavenly Taoist Sect. In the end, although the war was won. It turned Japan into a province of the Ming Empire, but it still tolerated the Eastern Divine Sect of the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Japanese Heavenly Dao Warriors.

Constrained by this mode of thinking, the powerful national strength of the Ming Empire could not be brought into play. For the rise of Mingzhou and China. It can only be weakened by pulling one faction and fighting another. There are no conditions for their own fate at all, and the ruling class of the Ming Empire has always suppressed the domestic civic consciousness, so that the Ming Dynasty cannot become a civic country for a long time. The resulting intensification of domestic contradictions also inhibited the Ming Empire's ability to use force abroad...... It was not until the Qing Empire was crushed by the revolutionary wave that the reactionaries in the Ming Dynasty gave in on the question of civil society.

And the Ming Empire was still slow to complete the transformation of civil society, and when the Ming Dynasty became a civic state. The mode of warfare has evolved to mechanization, the role of the citizen soldier has greatly decreased, and the scientific and technological content of war has greatly increased.

Moreover, after the transformation of the Ming Empire into a democratic civil society. Another unexpected problem arises...... Many citizens of the Ming Dynasty still retain their Ming nationality. The Ming Empire and most of the Chinese states recognized dual citizenship. This caused the foreign policy of the Ming Empire to fall into a lot of chaos.

At the same time, it also caused many citizens of the Ming Dynasty to be confused on the issue of national cognition, and even political factions that supported the unification of Zhuxia - the unification of Zhuxia was not unrealistic. It's just that it's very difficult to operate, so there are a lot of objections.

In a word. The Huaxia kingdoms (excluding the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom, the two Persian states, and the Western Huaxia Republic) have been a bit chaotic these years, and almost all political factions are troubled by whether or not to establish a unified China.

At the same time, several powers close to the Republic of Europa were fully involved in the civil war in the Republic of Europa - and in the middle and late stages of the war, their armies even intervened directly! And by supporting and participating in the civil war in the Republic of Europe, several European powers benefited greatly. In particular, the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom strengthened their military-industrial system and tempered their army by supporting and intervening in the civil war of the Republic of Europa.

As a result, the army of the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom performed quite well in the early stages of this world war. First, the Republic of Germany, the Republic of Bohemia, and the Republic of Austria-Hungary were occupied. Then he used the two Persians to invade the Dashi Kingdom supported by the Ming Dynasty, trying to grasp the lifeblood of the world's oil supply in one fell swoop!

Meantime. England and Italy, allies of the Divine Heavenly Dao State, jointly divided the Republic of France and the Netherlands. The Mamluk Sultanate then joined the war, first forcibly reclaiming the Suez Canal Zone, which was controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and then uniting with its own vassal Sultanate of Marin (Morocco) to launch an attack on the Ming possessions of Macao. So far. The world war broke out completely.

However, beyond the expectations of the Europa Alliance (composed of eight countries, including the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom, the Western Chinese Republic, the Two Persias, the Kingdom of England, the Kingdom of Italy, the Mamluk Sultanate, and the Marin Sultanate), the two Huaxia of Mingzhou actually stood on the side of the Ming Empire at this juncture. Instead of splitting into two, one supports the Ming and the other supports the Europa Union.

It turned out that after a hundred years of peaceful development. The economic relationship between the two Huaxia and the Ming Empire has risen to the point where they are indistinguishable from each other, and the capitals of the three countries have also been integrated, and many multinational consortia based on both sides of the Pacific Ocean have emerged. And the number of immigrants from Daming has exceeded 100 million in the past 100 years! These people and their children are not involved in the past grievances between the two countries.

What dominates their thinking is the Great Huaxia Doctrine of the Ming Empire - which is also the Zhuxia family - and their thinking has strengthened the power of the "peace unification faction" within the two Huaxia. So when the two China countries were facing a world war. did not choose to use force to destroy the other party, but stood on the side of Da Ming together. It is hoped that through a war in which we participate together, the two countries will finally be united.

For the possible opposition of the Ming Empire, the politicians of the two Huaxia also have a solution, that is, let the Ming Emperor concurrently serve as the new Ming Empire Emperor after the unification, and then promote the unification of the old and new Ming!

Due to the war between the two countries, the Europa League suddenly fell into passivity! And the army mechanized troops of the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom did not seize the Kipchak Grassland and the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty as quickly as expected. The Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom's tank sea was hit by new guided weapons. Anti-tank missiles mounted on jet attack aircraft and helicopters became the nemesis of tanks!

However, the high-tech weapons of the Ming Empire did not reach the level of high-tech of the US imperialists during the Gulf War. At best, it's a Vietnam War U.S. military, maybe not as good as a little. So these high-tech weapons did not immediately divide the war between winners and losers.

The war soon entered the stage of competition between the two sides for national strength. The Ming Empire and the huge population and industrial superiority of the two Huaxia empires soon showed their might after completing the general mobilization. On almost all battlefields. All of them have formed a crushing absolute advantage over the enemy.

And the countries of the Europa Alliance are left with only hard support. Italy, the Mamluk Sultanate, the two Persian Sultanates, and the Marin Sultanate collapsed successively. Either it was occupied, or there was a revolution in the country. Overthrew the pro-war establishment. Now the storm of revolution has finally reached the heart of the Vullenburg – the core of this bastion of counter-revolution, which Comrade Ulyanov has criticized as the most reactionary and darkest in the whole world!

Oh, Comrade Ulyanov is no longer in the Divine Heavenly Dao Country now. After the failure of leading an armed uprising of the working class in Gloomberg two years earlier – again funded by Sun Wen – he had to flee and slip to London, the capital of the Kingdom of England.

The situation of the Kingdom of England was slightly better, because the Ming Empire's current focus was on the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom and its ally, the Western Huaxia Republic. The main battlefields are also in the Urals, the Caspian Sea, Persia and the Mediterranean.

For England, the Ming Empire and Mingzhou's approach was strategic bombing. Use long-range jet bombers to strike England's big cities at night. However, because the bombers all took off from Macao (Hong Kong had already been seized by England), the distance was too far and the number of bombs they carried was limited. And there are not too many planes thrown into the bombing. So the bombing did not bring fatal damage to a big city like London.

It was the constant bad news that made the city a little depressed if the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom fell. How long will the Kingdom of England last?

But Ulyanov, who was in exile in London, and his comrades were not at all depressed. Because of the predicament that the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom is facing now. For them, the revolutionaries of the Pax Romana, this is definitely good news!

The Ming Empire can defeat the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom, but it is absolutely impossible to directly rule the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom...... The Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom is too large, the population is not small, and the cost of occupation and reconstruction is too high.

Therefore, consuming the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom on the battlefield and causing its internal collapse is the goal pursued by the Ming Empire.

And now it seems that this goal is almost achieved! The people of the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom are already very war-weary...... They were also tired of the Heavenly Dao Sect Divine Sect for a long time. Otherwise, how could there be so many people in the Tiandao Datong Party?

Knock knock knock......

There was a sudden knock on the door of Ulyanov's study, and Trotsky's excited voice came from outside: "Comrade Ulyanov, good news! Good news...... Revolution in Vullenburg! The revolution has happened! Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to oppose the reactionary rule of the Holy Sect! And it was the Datong Party who led this protest! ”

"Really?" When Ulyanov opened the door, he saw his comrade-in-arms, Trotsky, who had long been so excited.

"Let's go!" Ulyanov took a sharp breath, "Go to Dover, and then cross the sea to Calais...... We need to return home in the shortest possible time! ”

Trotsky raised his handbag: "It's all ready, and I called to book a ticket." ”

Ulyanov also had his luggage ready for a long time and could be transferred at any time (they all lived in England under false identities and had to run away at any time). Holding a leather bag containing a few changes of clothes, a couple of passports and some money. Ulyanov and Trotsky soon got out on the street. The two of them were just about to call a car to the train station, when an air defense alarm suddenly sounded in their ears.

Ulyanov subconsciously looked at the sky, it's daytime, when did the Ming bombers be so bold and dare to bomb during the day?

"Airplane!" Trotsky cried out, "Look there...... It looks so weird! ”

When Ulyanov looked up, he saw several flying objects that looked like black swallows hovering in the sky. And the surrounding English air defense forces did not know what was going on, and did not react in the slightest. Anti-aircraft artillery does not fire, and missiles do not fire.

At this moment, several strange-looking planes swaggered away, and a huge parachute suddenly opened in the air, and under the parachute was a cylinder, as if it was a gasoline barrel, I don't know if it was a legendary super bomb?

.......
