Wild North America 1846

Chapter 833 Speech

After several years of traveling around the world, His Majesty the Holy Emperor Taizu of the Tang Empire returned to North America by ship in early 1918 and quietly arrived at Chaoge City, the imperial capital.

Since His Majesty the Holy Emperor has always insisted on being low-key and unobtrusive, this trip was kept secret and did not alarm ordinary people and public opinion.

However, there was already a sensation in the upper class society of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Tang Yezong brought His Royal Highness Crown Prince Tang Li Mingsu and dozens of imperial uncles, senior cabinet officials of the Tang Empire government and other top dignitaries of the empire to the dock to greet him.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor Taizu was welcomed with the highest etiquette and escorted all the way to Xianshou Palace. This is a splendid palace specially built for His Majesty the Holy Emperor Taizu, located not far from the palace.

After they had truly settled down, Emperor Tang Yezong, along with His Royal Highness Crown Prince Tang Li Mingsu and many princes and grandsons, came to pay their respects. The imperial government cabinet and important ministers entered the palace one after another to pay their respects. They were busy for more than ten days before they stopped.

At this time, the imperial newspapers and public opinion had just revealed that His Majesty the Holy Emperor Taizu was visiting Chaoge City, which triggered a long-lasting pilgrimage craze among the people.

The common people were unable to approach the Immortal Life Palace, so they often burned incense in the octagonal pavilion outside the blockade of the Royal Guards, facing the direction of the Immortal Life Palace.

For a while

Incense was lingering for miles around the octagonal pavilion, and the pilgrimage craze continued for a long time, even alarming the emperor Tang Yezong who was banned from Wanzhong.

Feeling the heartfelt enthusiasm of the people of the empire, Emperor Yezong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the construction of a seven-star altar around the octagonal pavilion. The beautiful landscape is dotted with altars, pavilions, sacrificial forests and steles, and stretches for more than seven miles in total.

Over time

It became a good place for people to relax and worship in Chaoge, the imperial capital. Various buildings sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and it soon became prosperous.

More than three months passed by in a flash, and time quietly came to June 1918.

There are constant wars in Europe, but on the other side of the Atlantic, in North America, there is a scene of peaceful and prosperous development. It is extremely rare to see wars.

Only in ports across the empire can one see a large number of expeditionary troops boarding ships about to set sail and bid farewell to their relatives who are leaving.

In the empire's mainland and overseas provinces and colonies, a total of about 34 ports successively sent troops to Europe, covering North America, Central America and South America along the Atlantic coast, as well as the Luzon Islands and East Indies, the Middle East Peninsula and the Red Sea coast. port.

to the middle of september

The Tang Empire sent more than 7 million troops to Europe in just over 130 months. Adding the 60 troops it had previously sent, the total number of troops was close to 200 million.

The vast majority of these continuous troops arrived on the French battlefield on the Western Front, and some stayed in the British Isles for repair and training, which greatly strengthened the military strength on the Western Front battlefield.

Faced with the new trends of the Allied military bloc, the Allied military bloc, dominated by Germany, achieved victory on the Eastern Front and completely crushed the Tsarist Russian Empire.

However, in the face of the massive reinforcements from the Tang Empire, the entire Western Front battlefield was still at an absolute disadvantage. No matter the strength of the troops, weapons and equipment, or the morale of the army, they were all firmly suppressed.

During this time
The German army launched two large-scale battles on the Western Front, focusing on the quality of the Tang army and placing the key breakthrough areas in the Somme River area that the Tang took over.

The second Battle of the Somme lasted for a month and a half, and the Third Battle of the Somme lasted for 2 days. The German troops were resolutely counterattacked even after breaking through the front-line positions.

The Tang army suffered more than 27.3 casualties in the two battles, of which 8.7 were killed and the rest were injured.

The German army suffered more serious casualties than the Tang army, with 11.2 killed and more than 20 injured in the two battles.

After two battles of testing, the German High Command finally calmed down.The ridiculous idea of ​​using the Tang army to hold its position as a breakthrough point was completely abandoned.

The Tang Empire sent nearly 20 troops to the Western Front battlefield every month. Even if it wiped out the entire German Empire, it would not be able to compete with such endless massive troops.

Moreover, the Orientals were quite cunning and filled the first-line positions with a large amount of cannon fodder, while most of the elite troops, mainly Chinese, were stationed in the second-line positions.

Such a deployment

The second-line position was protected from German artillery fire and bullets day and night, and it was equipped with a large number of heavy artillery, heavy machine guns and armored forces to carry out fatal counterattacks against the German troops who broke through the first-line position.

Under the regardless of cost artillery bombardment and armored forces leading the counterattack, the ability to harvest the lives of German officers and soldiers was astonishing. Most of the losses of the German army were ruthlessly annihilated in the counterattack.

After going back and forth, the Germans finally stopped.

The Tang Empire's defensive counterattack style was almost incomprehensible, because it had absolute military superiority, artillery and armor superiority, aviation superiority, and heavy troops hoarded in second- and third-line positions.

Those placed on the front line are cannon fodder, and most of the casualties come from these cannon fodder troops.

These cannon fodder troops even include blacks from Brazil, native whites from Cuba, Mexicans and Indians, natives from the East Indies and Arabs from the Middle East. The composition is quite complex.

With such a 1:1 exchange of trash troops and elite German troops, the Tang Empire relied entirely on its firepower to bully others. Its artillery firepower was 7 times that of the German army, and its armored troops were 11 times that of the German army. The total force in the frontal confrontation on the Somme was that of the German army. 2.3 times.

The German army did not have so many colonial wastes to consume. Every casualty in the war was a young and middle-aged child of the German Empire, and of course they were not willing to waste it.

Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, the German commander-in-chief who personally planned the French campaign, said with great anger;

"The cunning Tang people, like the British, always trade inferior ethnic groups in the colonies for the precious lives of German soldiers in order to establish a military advantage..."

"We see that the Tang State is using a large amount of cannon fodder in the war to advance and consolidate its unjust colonial rule and eliminate domestic opposition voices."

The German commander's remarks were full of provocation, and unexpectedly caused an uproar as soon as they were reported.Ethnic minorities in the Tang Empire were furious, causing dozens of riots, large and small.

Angry crowds gathered to attack and even burn down German communities and churches. More than 10 churches were burned down, more than 17 houses were damaged, more than 000 people died, and 170 people were arrested.

Marshal Hindenburg has stirred up a hornet's nest. No one wants to be called an "inferior nation", not even God.

This matter was exaggerated by the public opinion of the Allied Powers and further aroused the overwhelming anger of ethnic minority officers and soldiers on the front lines!

The imperial military took the opportunity to award meritorious service to a group of ethnic minority officers and soldiers who performed outstandingly during the war. They awarded the Royal Outstanding Service Medal to encourage the officers and soldiers to fight bravely on the front lines.

After a wave of operations, it greatly boosted the morale of the army.

Marshal Hindenburg was criticized by the media of the Allied Powers Group, which occupies the international mainstream, as a "shameful imperialist" and "the gravekeeper of narrow-minded racism." "A white supremacist who will eventually be swept into the garbage dump of history." .

When the dust settled, Field Marshal Hindenburg was stunned.

have to say
Field Marshal Hindenburg was a pure soldier.He has a genius-like sense of smell in military command and can always detect the hidden intentions of his opponents, but he is too naive in politics.

Faced with all-round slander from his enemies, he was really unable to defend himself.

In the first half of 1918, with the help of the Tang Expeditionary Force, Britain and France resisted the German attack on the Western Front battlefield and began to enter the preparatory stage for a strategic counteroffensive.

Marshal Hindenburg of Germany was a high-ranking German man who had done a profound study of the overall rise of the Tang Empire. He wholeheartedly agreed with the policy of controlling the people of the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Richard, and adopted it as his motto.

His mistake was that he said something he shouldn't have said. Although this is true, how can you wake up someone who is pretending to sleep?
The Tang Empire has been in existence for 72 years. It has always pursued a strict feudal hierarchy policy, with the king, the royal family and a group of nobles and nobles as the upper class, and the capitalists, wealthy businessmen, large and small manor owners, ranchers and planters as the broader society. The middle class, new immigrants and ethnic minorities are the lower class of society.

The country has long implemented a forced integration policy that divides its citizens into two types: Tang and other types.

The so-called "others" include all ethnic minorities including Germans, Irish, French, Mexicans and Spanish whites, as well as Indians, Arabs and the indigenous populations of the East Indies.

Always

The Tang Empire implemented a vague policy in terms of external population statistics. The specific population of each ethnic group was not clearly marked in the "other" category, but was generally noted as "other".

After more than half a century of ups and downs, North American Indians and Mexican descendants were basically completely wiped out, and there were only a handful of South American vassal states.

The most remaining ones are under the newly annexed Governor-General of Brazil, and a few kingdoms in Colombia and Cuba. The others are almost unified by the Chinese population.

This situation is also being replicated in the East Indies. The fastest progress is in the Luzon Islands, Sumatra, Kalimantan and other regions. Paradise Island has already been completely Chineseized.

The progress is slightly slower in the more populous island of Java, and in the six newly-incorporated provinces of the Arabian Peninsula. However, the above-mentioned areas have widely popularized the national language, and the process of ethnic integration is further accelerating.

The current outbreak of World War I has become an opportunity to accelerate this historical process of national integration.

The 300 million troops sent by the Tang Empire to Europe were from ethnic minorities in the Arabian Peninsula and the East Indies, and they would occupy nearly one million of the compulsory recruitment quotas.

Of the remaining 200 million troops, half are whites of various ethnic groups, while Chinese can only recruit a million people at best.

The vast majority of Chinese officers and soldiers are in technical branches such as logistics, artillery, cavalry, and armored forces. Commanders at all levels are basically Chinese, and they firmly control the army.

In the Americas of the Tang Empire, Chinese officers and soldiers were recruited on a voluntary basis, using European land, women, and the merits of the royal army as bait to encourage the surplus population to join the army.

These ethnic minorities are different. They are completely compulsorily recruited. Not only do they receive low treatment in the army, but they also fight in the most dangerous front-line positions and are strictly controlled by the supervising team.

So far, the Tang Empire has suffered more than 30 casualties in the European wars, and cannon fodder troops composed of ethnic minorities account for more than [-]% of them. The performance is obvious.

This can be seen from the decision-making of the upper echelons of the Tang Dynasty Expeditionary Force. They rescued the Chinese elite troops at all costs, while the cannon fodder troops basically let them go.

This also resulted in the fact that since the beginning of the war, the German army has never eliminated more than one integrated regiment of Chinese troops.

This is simply unbelievable for the Western Front battlefield, which often invests more than one million troops.

This is because the largest Chinese units invested by the Tang Empire Expeditionary Force on the front-line battlefield were the Royal Army Military Police Battalions and Armored Companies, or the Field Artillery Battalions, which were mainly responsible for controlling a larger number of cannon fodder units.

This situation was extremely unfair but was commonplace among the Allied armies.

Because the British Empire's British Indian Division, the Anzac Corps, colonial armies in Canada and South Africa and other places also cannot enjoy the same treatment as the British native army.

The French army also has cannon fodder similar to the Algerian and African legions, and unequal treatment exists everywhere, not many of them in the Tang army.

The German and Austrian troops wanted to use colonial troops to block the front, but unfortunately they could only think about it, and such a good thing was far from their turn.

As for sowing discord, I thought too much. Just look at the Allied troops who were short of clothes and clothing, and the Datang Empire's expeditionary officers and soldiers who had exceptionally superior logistics supplies felt a sense of pride.

It's true that it's not as good as others, but it's much better than you Germans.
