Chapter 240 Strategic Direction
After Dai Yingcai left, Li Fushou climbed to the top of Lingxiao Pavilion again, stood on a high place and looked into the distance, feeling the pressure of the mountain on his body.
It has been 7 years since I came to Australia, and this vast land has undergone great changes under my hard work, which is completely different from the original historical process, and the direction of progress is more confusing, and there are no major historical events to refer to.
It's late March 1882.
The Republicans of Citigroup introduced the "Chinese Exclusion Act", which caused an uproar during the discussion in Congress, and the Earl of Queensland, on behalf of more than 2 million ethnic Chinese, lodged a strong protest against the Citigroup government, which will seriously affect the economic and trade relations between the two sides.
Europath, Austria, and Italy are getting closer and closer, and are considering the signing of an alliance treaty, the "Triple Alliance Treaty," to form a military alliance in substance.
After the small Fuso country obtained the right to garrison troops on the Korean Peninsula, it was difficult to claim that it had the same right to send troops as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and in the face of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's concessions, the appetite of this island country was being expanded step by step.
China and France signed a memorandum of understanding on the Vietnam Treaty earlier than in history, and the French colonial army was being assembled to soon launch the Indochina War to encompass the entire Kingdom of Vietnam and challenge the Green Battalion Army stationed in North Vietnam.
It can be seen that the Triple Alliance Treaty was the beginning of the evolution of the political order of the First World War, 32 years after the First World War in 1914, and the changes in the world pattern were formed step by step.
France and Fuso became more and more unscrupulous in the face of the Manchu Dynasty's step-by-step concession ostrich policy, and they saw the weakness of the Manchu Dynasty.
International politics is sometimes like a contradiction between individuals, the big man of the Manchu Qing Dynasty brought a few little brothers, rich and easy to bully, France and Fusang were the first to show their fangs and sharp teeth to intimidate, and when they saw each other, they pressed step by step, first bullying and occupying the younger brother, and finally became more and more bold, and simply hit the door with a stick......
Thinking about these truths, Li Fushou knew what to do next.
First of all, the Dutch had to be crippled and show Queensland's tough strength and attitude internationally.
I don't care what kind of former maritime overlord empire you are, if you provoke me, you will be immortal and die, and you can't take care of your own life.
This is not only to protect their own interests, but also to show their muscles to the international community and show an uncompromising attitude, Lao Tzu is not easy to mess with!
Secondly, through the channel of Lord Victor, he wrote to Downing Street, reaffirming his loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen, unswervingly, expounding the purpose of maintaining the unity and unity of the Australian territory, and expressing a clear attitude and firm position against separatism.
There are more and more Chinese immigrants, the situation is getting better and better, and time is on its side.
Regardless of whether the British believe it or not, the Earl of Queensland himself believed it, and it must have cost a lot of money, and it must have been spent to gain the sympathy of the upper class of London and show the attitude of loyalty.
For the upper class society in London, this Australia, which is thousands of miles away, is insignificant, and has no immediate interest needs, as long as it is built on the basis of safeguarding the interests of the British Empire, it is not difficult to tilt the mouth left and right for the sake of money.
Anyway, they are all subjects of Her Majesty the Queen, and they belong to internal contradictions!
Don't want to have trouble with the British Empire this year, that is tantamount to asking for your own death.
The German-Italian-Austrian alliance entangled half of Europe to launch the First World War, trying to break the old international order led by Britain and France and re-divide the cake.
The result?
The Austro-Hungarian Empire was beaten to pieces, the invincible Germany was beaten almost shut up and began to doubt life, and Italy completely broke the backbone, ended the glorious inheritance of the Holy Roman Empire, and began a glorious life of pasta.
The nineteenth century was the century of the British Empire, and as the arbiter and defender of the world order, no country dared to disobey.
France produced a Napoleonic emperor across the continent, challenging the European equilibrium strategy, Britain organized seven anti-French alliances, and finally sent the French emperor to St. Helena for the rest of his life, ushering in the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty.
Unwilling to be trapped on the banks of the icy Volga River, Russia tried to find a foothold in the warm Mediterranean and challenge the British policy of containment.
In the Crimean War, the ambitious Tsar Nicholas I died unexplained, and Tsarist Russia spit out a large area of land seized for more than a hundred years, and promised not to build military factories on the Black Sea coast, and to maintain peace and neutrality.
It was a war that established the authoritarian position of the British Empire, with more than 2 million troops mobilized for the land war on both sides, and Britain demonstrated its undoubted war potential and overwhelming military and economic superiority.
So why did the British Army suffer a crushing defeat to the Boers in South Africa?
It depends on whether the British Empire attaches importance to it and whether it belongs to the core policy of vital interests, for example, the equilibrium policy of the European continent is an untouchable national policy, which is where the core interests of the British Empire lie, France, Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy and the Ottoman Empire, one is counted as one, and no one is allowed to challenge this basic national policy, otherwise you will be beaten to doubt your life.
Li Fushou was very self-aware and took a major action to show his loyalty to Her Majesty Queen Victoria;
On 28 June 1882, the 45th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Victoria's accession to the throne, the British mainland and the colonies celebrated the occasion with great ceremonies.
As a loyal vassal of Her Majesty, the Earl of Queensland Li Fushou personally funded the purchase of two 10,000-ton steam-ironclad battleships for the Royal Navy of the British Empire as a congratulatory gift to Her Majesty Queen Victoria.
To tell the truth, with the size and strength of the Royal Navy of the British Empire today, it doesn't matter at all if there are two more 10,000-ton steam-ironclad battleships, and it doesn't matter if there are less, it's just icing on the cake.
The third measure is to prepare the Guards Dragoon Division and the Guards Tiger Cavalry Division of the Queensland National Guard, depending on the specific situation, and retain the option of preparing the Guards Leopard Cavalry Division and the Guards Wolf Cavalry Division, and do not rule out further increasing military strength.
Queensland will launch-for-tat military preparations, which is a tough response to the actions of a small number of white diehards in the south.
It is not enough to just say what you say, you must have a strong military backing to support it, so that what you say can be heard.
Holding up the banner of opposing separatism and seeking reunification is Li Fushou's firm stand.
Now Li Fushou can pull up Queensland, Western Australia, and South Australia to form a unified alliance in the north, and the latter two are small states with small populations that play soy sauce, mainly because they are strong and strong!
The Southern Union is dominated by the two populous states of New South Wales and Victoria, plus Tasmania, which plays soy sauce.
In fact, New South Wales has been eroded by half of the Red River Valley, because Brisbane and the Red River Valley, the two star twin cities, were originally at the bottom of the pot in Queensland, only tens of kilometers away from the South Wales border to the south.
After the coastal railway from the Red River Valley to the south to the city of Suzaku, continue to the south into the territory of New South Wales, including Lianyungang Town, Huai'an Town, Yangzhou Town, Jinling Town and Songjiang Town, this series of coastal plain towns belong to the scope of New South Wales.
From Songjiang Town, it passes through Gusu Town, Hangzhou Town, Ningbo Town, Wenzhou Town, Fuzhou Town, Xiamen Town, Shantou Town, Chaozhou Town, Foshan Town, Songshu Town, Zhuhai Town, Wisconsin Town, Wuyang Town, Maoming Town, Edinburgh Town, Beihai Town, Novorossiysk Town, until Beilun Town on the Kongsby Plateau, across a narrow bay from Sydney.
The coastal railway passes through a total of 24 towns to the south, and all 23 towns except Suzaku are within the boundaries of New South Wales, creating a large area of land.
The Red River Valley Territory covers an area of 220,000 square kilometres, of which just over 80,000 square kilometres are in Queensland, and the rest are in northern New South Wales, occupying vast expanses of rich pastures, mountain forests and river alluvial plains, which have developed into the heart of the Red River Valley.
The southernmost part of the Queensland Earldom ends at Pine Town, and continues to the south through Zhuhai Town, Wisconsin Town, Wuyang Town, Maoming Town, Edinburgh Town, Beihai Town, Novorossiysk Town and Beilun Town, a total of 8 towns of land are built on pasture land purchased in the later period, which does not belong to the Earldom, and strictly belongs to the jurisdiction of South Wales.
Now facing the counterattack of the stubborn white forces in the south, Li Fushou will not be willing to burn the flames of war into his own territory, and when the time comes, it will be his own belongings that will be broken, not to mention that it will hurt the flowers and plants!
Figured it out
Li Fushou felt that his thoughts were clear, he held on to the railing with both hands and looked at the city buildings, watching the magnificent landmark buildings rise from the ground, and his heart was extremely comfortable.
The Eiffel Tower of the Red River has been built at half height, and it stands out from afar, and is particularly majestic.
If the war against separatism is not fought, Li Fushou will have the confidence to win when it is really fought, because he has a steady stream of abundant human resources and a large enough pocket, and when the time comes, it is time to consider building a triumphal arch.
Then this central avenue from Christchurch is called Triumph Boulevard, along the road on both sides of the construction of neo-romantic style French palace buildings, representing the Red River Valley eclectic immigrant city style, as a city owner, you can also charge a little more shop rental fees, as for the time to start the whole 500 years.
The charter company industry has a great future!
To be honest, the French still have a lot of landmarks, not to mention the Statue of Liberty given to Citi for the 100th anniversary of independence, just this Eiffel Tower can become the city's business card, famous at home and abroad, greatly improving the city's popularity.
