African Nationhood

Nanhua and Italy finally reached a settlement, and Nanhua gave Italy 500 million bottles of Watson as compensation.

However, South China occupied Mogadishu and would not return it. Everything from the Shabelle River on the edge of Mogadishu to the southwest to the border of British East Africa was ceded to South China.

If Italy wants to continue to obtain Watsons from Nanhua, it also needs to sign an immigration assistance agreement with Nanhua in exchange for Watsons.

This area covers an area of ​​more than 20 square kilometers, directly cutting off one-third of Italian Somalia.

Italy was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but faced pressure from Britain and South China, it had to accept it.

These 500 million bottles of Watsons can save the lives of many people, and can also be regarded as saving the credibility of the Orlando government.

Nanhua also promised that all the indigenous people in this land would be handed over to Italian Somalia for management, which finally made Prime Minister Orlando feel more comfortable. After all, the indigenous people are wealth, and Italy can recover a little bit.

I just didn’t know that Nanhua’s plan was to give the remaining indigenous people in Uganda and Tanga in East Africa to Italy’s Somali colony.

The indigenous population of this land is not large, less than 100 million. If Nanhua City is blocked, hundreds of thousands more people can be added, and the Italians can be more happy.

……

The United Kingdom, France, Greece, Armenia and other countries, based on the previously signed armistice agreement, invaded Ottoman Turkey and occupied territory frantically.

……

The Allied forces had the right to occupy any strategic location in Ottoman Türkiye and monitor its railways.

The frenzy to carve up the Middle East has also started. Nanhua's territory in the Middle East is enough. What is more is to seek an outlet position in the Strait of Hormuz.

When he issued his abdication statement, he and his family had already arrived in the Netherlands and obtained asylum from the Queen of the Netherlands.

Coupled with the large number of deaths caused by the influenza epidemic, the German navy and army were severely attacked by the Allied forces. The naval force in the German port of Kiel took the lead in initiating the initiative.

Therefore, William II gave up his illusions and issued an abdication statement on October 10 (more than half a month earlier than the original time and space).

……

All Ottoman Turkish ships were handed over to the Allies, the army was demobilized, and all weapons, ammunition and military equipment were handed over to the Allies.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire signed an armistice agreement on October 1918, 10, on a British warship in the Port of Mudros, Lemnos Island in the Aegean Sea.

The German Confederation finally came to an end. After receiving news of the popular uprising, Kaiser Wilhelm II hid early in the German headquarters in Spa, Belgium.

According to the agreement, Ottoman Türkiye promised to open the two straits to allow Allied ships to enter the Black Sea.

Because Austria-Hungary surrendered too early, Germany was left alone.

In early October, a republican government was established.

The First World War officially ended with the surrender of all the Allied Powers.

He also hoped that the German army could protect his throne, but after the German army gathered alone and returned to Germany, it did not suppress the republican government.

On October 10, the German government representative Erzberger and the Allied Commander-in-Chief Foch signed an armistice agreement at Redonde Station in the Compiègne Forest in northeastern France, and Germany surrendered.

After the signing of the agreement, military operations on the Syrian-Palestinian Front and the Mesopotamian Front ceased.

Due to the influenza epidemic, troops from various countries are temporarily stationed in the occupied areas and are not allowed to return home, waiting for the epidemic to subside before making arrangements.

The war in Europe finally came to an end.

Then people continued to protest and march, and finally they broke out in an uprising in Berlin, and they overthrew the existing government.

The best target is Musandam Province in Oman, and the second best target is to capture the UAE region.

The next target is Gwadar Port, a small island that has always been controlled by Oman.

In 1958, after the partition of India and Pakistan, Oman sold Gwadar Port to Pakistan for 300 million pounds (about 840 million U.S. dollars).

Of these three options, Gwadar Port is by far the easiest to achieve. After all, this island is just a fishing village and worthless.

Although the British value this place, they have no intention of controlling it at this stage.

……

On November 11, King Karl I arrived at the port of Dar es Sam on a Nanhua warship, and then he went ashore without intending to go to Hanking.

Chairman Shi did not force the former Austrian emperor, but ordered the local garrison commander Lin Baiguang to take good care of the young nobleman.

After Charles I surrendered in September, his personal property was screened.

Qu Sangqian took away all his emperor's scepter, crown and other items that symbolized imperial power, but did not confiscate other property.

In order to ensure his safety, he has been kept under house arrest in the military camp and is not allowed to wander around to avoid assassination.

As Germany and Turkey surrendered one after another, Qu Sangqian arranged for warships to transport the former Austrian emperor out.

……

After sending away Karl I, Qu Sangqian went to participate in the spoils sharing conference of the Allied Powers.

That's right, it was the Spoils Division Conference, where the Allied Powers gathered to discuss how to divide the Austro-Hungarian Empire's warships and supplies to make up for the losses in the war.

As for the property looted by the garrison in various places, it will not be discussed at the meeting. How much can be looted is a matter of personal ability, as long as it does not arouse opposition from the local people and people in the occupied areas.

Since the two capitals of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were conquered by Nanhua, with the approval of Chairman Shi and the consent of the leaders of Britain and France, Italy occupied the Tyrol region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the British and French forces occupied Austria. northwest of.

But the Istria Peninsula in Dalmatia is still under the control of the South China Navy.

The partition conference lasted for nearly a month. Nanhua was divided at the conference. The Austro-Hungarian Empire had a total of 5 warships, including 1 dreadnought "United Forces", 1 light cruiser "Elizabeth", and three small submarines.

Except for the Combined Forces-class dreadnoughts, the rest of these ships are of little use.

The displacement of light cruisers is only more than 1800 tons, and the displacement of submarines is only more than 200 tons.

It could only be used by the Nanhua Navy as a target ship for training, but it was eventually sunk.

……

After dividing the naval heritage of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the South China Expeditionary Force basically had nothing to do.

How to divide the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the newly formed countries was a matter for civilians.

Prime Minister Ouyang Geng is currently staying in London, waiting to attend the post-war peace talks in Paris.

Qusangqian went to the Austro-Hungarian naval shipyard in Fiume (now Rijeka, Croatia).

This shipyard was the main shipyard for the production of submarines in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, due to thinking problems, most of the submarines designed by the Austro-Hungarians were lightweight.

Their submarines can weigh more than 270 tons at most, and some of the smaller ones can weigh 127 tons.

Although such a submarine saves engine power due to its small size and can dive faster in the sea, its speed is very limited compared to German submarines and Nanhua submarines.

In general, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's submarines were very useless, but these submarine designers were still valuable. Qu Sangqian immediately presided over the trial after arriving here.

He sentenced all the important technical personnel here, about 2000 of them, and sent them to Nanhua to receive labor reeducation punishment.

At the same time, they also picked up their family members. These family members have long been controlled by the Nanhua Army. It is convenient to ship and ship. These technical personnel can help Nanhua's warship design and development.

In addition, Ou Haiwa called people early in the morning to secretly dismantle the equipment in the shipyard and submarine manufacturing plant here and transport them away bit by bit.

Anyway, Nanhua will not withdraw its troops for a while. The ants will slowly demolish it, and the demolition will be completed eventually.

No matter who takes over in the future, they can only take over an empty shipyard. (End of chapter)
