Wild North America 1846

The Tang Imperial government adhered to the five-no policy towards its own citizens who went to Europe to participate in the war, namely: no encouragement, no intervention, no responsibility, no prevention and no investigation, and basically let them go.

As a multi-ethnic country of immigrants, in the course of more than 70 years of development, the Tang Empire has established a mainstream social group dominated by Chinese, and formed a stable social group dominated by Chinese, supplemented by whites and various ethnic groups in Central and South America. population structure.

In North, Central and South America, Mandarin is the most commonly spoken language, with English, German and Spanish relegating to second, third and fourth place respectively.

In 1916, the Tang Empire's total national economic output accounted for 26.1% of the world's total. Including Central and South American countries, the economic output of the entire American region accounted for 1/3 of the world's, only slightly lower than the European market.

The continued prosperity and development of the North American economy created an increasingly large middle-class social group in the Tang Empire, which has gradually become the mainstream of today's prosperous society.

As a result, a stable "date core type" social class distribution has been formed, with the middle class being the largest and the upper class and poor classes at both ends of the date core type being smaller in number. This social structure is more stable and wealthy.

The salary of an ordinary full-time worker in the Tang Empire can afford the daily necessities of a family of 5 to 6 people. They can eat well, wear warm clothes, and will not be troubled by hunger.

In addition to large and medium-sized cities with expensive housing prices, housing prices in small cities and remote towns in the Tang Empire were low, food varieties were abundant, life pressure was low, and anyone who was willing to work could get a stable salary.

Compared with the war-torn European continent, this is simply a dream paradise.

After decades of unremitting legal construction, the Tang Empire has formed a relatively complete legal and social environment, with checks and balances on the imperial power, government, parliament and courts, and a complete official and government supervision mechanism.

Coupled with the Tang Empire's universal suffrage system, official accountability system and clean government system, long-term and stable social development can be guaranteed.

The Tang Empire's constitutional monarchy was different from that of the United Kingdom, and it played an important role in national decision-making.

This is because the royal family of the Tang Empire has a powerful armed force of the Royal Guards, which not only restrains the military power, but also serves as a strong guarantee for the imperial power.

Today
The size of the Royal Guards has stabilized between 26 and 27, and is widely deployed in South America, Central America, the Southwest Pacific, and North America in Texas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Ohio, Massachusetts, and the imperial capital Chaoge. City (Philadelphia) and other places played a decisive influence on the political situation of the Tang Empire.

In order to cope with the impact of the world war, the number of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire gradually increased, from 1914 in 36.6 to 1916 in June 6, especially strengthening the military in the Atlantic coast and the Arabian Peninsula. deploy.

The size of the Royal Navy has also increased from 41.2 to more than 50.7 personnel, and four marine divisions have been added, bringing the number of marine divisions under the Royal Navy to seven, which can be deployed around the world.

Overall
Compared with other world powers, the Tang Empire's military expenditures have always remained at a small proportion, accounting for only 0.6% of the national economic output, with an annual scale of approximately 2.5 million Tang Yuan (note, excluding the Royal Guards).

Compared with the current military expenditures of European powers, which account for 4%, 5% or even 6% of national economic output, this amount of expenditure is simply not worth mentioning.

Even though he was so powerful, Richard still held the mentality of "it has nothing to do with him, just worry about it" and was unwilling to participate in the First World War that would become a pot of porridge.

The Five No policy adopted by the Tang Empire is a clear reflection of its attitude towards the current world war. It is unwilling to be kidnapped by the ethnic group and join any side of the war.

Recently
The royal family and government of the Tang Empire took measures to suppress and purge some German nobles in order to reduce the enthusiasm of these domestic forces for advocating for participation in the war and eliminate the dissatisfaction of the Allied military groups.

anyway

The political, economic and military power of the Tang Empire were firmly in the hands of the mainstream Chinese social groups, and would not be kidnapped by the interests of a small number of white ethnic groups to affect the "neutrality policy" decreed by the Holy Emperor Taizu.

Anyone who violates this principle will be ruthlessly purged and suppressed.

Richard was generally satisfied with the performance of Tang Yezong, the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty. His governance was rigorous and moderate, Cao Cao was accommodating and not aggressive, showing his composure far beyond his age.

It is particularly rare that he was not as overjoyed as Kaiser Wilhelm II and Tsar Nicholas II, devoting the entire country to the war.

three whole days
The British tank detachment that was jammed in the town of Bapom was able to troubleshoot the problem and staggered away one after another, attracting rounds of eye-rolls from the townspeople.

After the initial shock passed, these British tanks brought endless noise and oil smoke pollution to the residents of the small town. The repairs made by "dinging and clanging" from morning to night were simply making a fool of themselves.

After more than a month,
Richard personally flew into the air and conducted 5 reconnaissance missions. He often evacuated the battlefield when German fighter jets arrived, without engaging in air combat with the enemy.

He has long passed the age of being brave and fierce, and he does not need any shooting records to add glory to himself, and his performance is extremely Buddhist.

April 6

Thousands of cannons from the Allied Powers roared simultaneously, firing hot shells at the German positions, kicking off the most brutal Somme Hell War in World War I.

The all-out bombardment lasted for seven days, pouring millions of artillery shells. The fierce artillery fire almost destroyed the German Second Army's front-line defensive positions.aerial view

On the 58-kilometer-long German front line, violently exploding artillery shells formed a flame, and the barbed wire fences and trenches on the front-line German defense positions were bombed into craters and tatters.

Seeing that the time was ripe, starting at 7:1 in the morning on July 7, the British and French troops launched an all-out attack with the support of intensive artillery fire, firing the first shot of the Battle of the Somme.

As the German front-line positions were repeatedly ravaged by artillery fire, the French and British forces made smooth progress in their main offensive directions, successfully breaking through and occupying the German front-line defensive positions.

However, the British army attacking on the left encountered a big problem. After the artillery fire stopped, the British officers and soldiers attacked in a dense formation.

At this moment

Under the command of the German officers, the German soldiers hiding deep in the trenches in the anti-gun holes swarmed out. They quickly set up their machine guns and prepared to fight with hatred.

It was not until the British soldiers attacked within 08 meters that the German commander ordered to open fire. Hundreds of MG[-] Maxim heavy machine guns opened fire together, forming a dense storm of bullets.

The attacking British troops were severely damaged by German firepower, mainly heavy machine guns. They fell in pieces like wheat, resulting in extremely heavy casualties.

The British soldiers who were exposed on the position were torn to pieces amidst the terrifying death screams of heavy machine guns. The dense queue soon became sparse.

General Haig of the British Expeditionary Force who witnessed this tragedy from the rear could not believe his eyes. He shouted "This is impossible". After the British army fled, he ordered another full-scale artillery bombardment in anger.

When the shelling began, the German soldiers quickly retreated deep into the shell holes and trenches to avoid the crazy artillery fire.

After the artillery fire ceased, when the British army launched another attack, the German soldiers quickly returned to the ground position carrying heavy machine guns and once again carried out a devastating blow to the attacking British soldiers.

Repeatedly, again and again.

On the first day of the attack at the Battle of the Somme alone, the main force of the British army attacking on the left wing paid a heavy price of more than 6 casualties and covered the offensive area with corpses.

Such heavy casualties did not attract the high attention of both parties involved in the war.

Because every day of the four-and-a-half-month-long Battle of the Somme, both sides suffered casualties of more than 4 people every day. This profound interpretation of how bloody the hellish Battle of the Somme was?
Richard flew the fighter plane lightly over the Somme River, and he saw more than 10 British soldiers pouring into the German positions in dense numbers.

Then under the intensive heavy machine gun fire of the German army, large areas of corpses were left behind...

Time and time again, the enemy and we fought almost endlessly on the muddy Somme battlefield, risking their lives.

There was continuous artillery fire, mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

One day at the end of July, the International Volunteer Aviation Squadron represented by Richard donated five Albatross II aircraft to the British and French coalition forces. All personnel retreated to the UK to rest and prepare for an opportunity to return to the country.

Richard took Sevilla to Bordeaux in the south of France, far away from the front line, far away from the blood and fire, far away from the bloody hell-like battlefield.

Faced with the tragic scene of the Battle of the Somme, even the hard-hearted Richard couldn't stand it anymore.

Battlefield on the Somme
Countless corpses were difficult to clean. The 10,000+ square kilometers of land exuded an unpleasant stench of corpses. The carrion was mixed with the muddy soil. Rain and corpse blood made the battlefield even more muddy.

After the weather improved, the battlefield exposed to the sun became even more nauseating.

In a small forest called Delville, covering an area of ​​only 1.5 square kilometers, the British army attacked 90 times, and then the German army counterattacked more than 70 times to reoccupy it.

at the end of the battle
Not a single tree was left here. In this forest, more than 2 officers and soldiers from both sides were killed, and the soil turned blood red.

Many officers and soldiers of the British army collapsed due to extreme fear, and a large number of suicides and self-mutilations occurred.

At the height of the battle, a fully-equipped British division was deployed for less than a week, and its casualties were as high as 80%. Not surprisingly, it was crippled.

An astonishing number of British nobles and German Junker military nobles died in this large-scale battle. They ranged from middle to low-level military commanders in their respective armies, fighting on the front line.

This situation is just like the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Junkers military aristocracy of Germany. The same is true, and they have suffered unprecedented serious harm.
