The sun never sets

The United States is a country of immigrants. There is no such thing as nationalism. Even if there is, it will not become mainstream. When this huge ship is in danger of sinking, the passengers on board will naturally find a way to jump off the ship.

Nearly two million people (some say more) fled to Canada in the north. Many people could not stand the American Commune. It is said that the American Commune shot and secretly executed millions of people. I don't know if it is true. But they did achieve maximum fairness. All capitalists, large farmers and rich peasants were eliminated. A left-wing centralized government like the French Commune appeared in the north of the United States.

There are also millions of people who fled to the Central American Syndicalist Alliance, most of whom are left-wing or left-leaning. Syndicalists kill people, fascists kill people, Pacific countries and the disappeared military government also kill people. According to incomplete statistics, during the civil war, several US governments killed at least two million people when they cleaned up their internal affairs.

In addition, there were spontaneous hatreds and conflicts among the people, which also claimed the lives of millions of people.

The beacon of the free world turned into a crazy killing field. Those who could escape fled. Only a few people benefited from this great turmoil and made the country even crazier.

Over the past three years, the People's Revolutionary League has taken in millions of refugees, most of whom have been placed in farms, farms and factories in various places. Some people went to Siberia to build the country, and they really built it, not to grow potatoes. The League carried out large-scale development on both sides of the Siberian Railway built by the Tsarist Empire, which required a lot of manpower.

Germany, France and Italy also took in a large number of refugees, and even Bulgaria accepted more than 1 refugees.

This is really a crazy era. People are fighting for freedom, democracy, fairness and justice, or liberating the world.

Humans and other reasons are fighting each other. Night raid group: ⑥九④九,三六壹三⑤, killing people and blood flowing like a river, and no one knows when it will end.

Chapter 896 Bitter Fruit

"Jingle Bell--"

"What's going on? What? What does Wei Guangju do for a living? Open fire immediately to drive away the French warships, but do not bombard the French ports and coastal cities!"

On April 1937, 4, the French Red Navy Squadron issued an order to the Allied transport fleet to "stop and accept inspection". After the Allied fleet refused, the French Red Navy light cruiser fired at the Allied Navy. The Allied frigate immediately fired back, and a quarter of an hour later, the French Red Navy Algeria-class heavy cruiser joined the naval battle.

In the naval battle, the Alliance lost a transport ship, a destroyer and two frigates, which was a heavy loss.

When the Union Mediterranean Task Force arrived upon hearing the news, they saw warships burning on the sea and hundreds of sailors drowned. The commander of the task force, Wei Guangju, left three destroyers to rescue people, and the remaining warships attacked the enemy ships.

This was the "April Fool's Day Incident" in 1937. Both the Alliance and the French Commune suffered heavy losses. However, the Alliance's losses were concentrated in the first half of the naval battle. In the second half of the naval battle, the Alliance's new super-dreadnought battleship "Huo Qubing" equipped with a 381mm caliber main gun showed its power, sinking the enemy ship "Tourville (heavy cruiser)" and severely damaging "Richelieu (battleship)".

The carrier-based aircraft launched by the alliance's aircraft carrier "Fujian" sank several light warships of the French Red Navy.

Wei Guangju led the Mediterranean task force to pursue the enemy all the way to the port of Marseille. He resisted the urge to bombard Marseille and ordered the fleet to escort the transport fleet to Spain.

Until a long time later, the Human Innovation Alliance did not know why the French Red Navy suddenly launched an attack. Although the two navies had had many frictions and provocations before, they had never reached the point of opening fire.

This question eventually became an unsolved mystery. The French Commune Rear Admiral who ordered the firing died in an air raid by Allied carrier-based aircraft. The person and the battleship sank in the Mediterranean Sea. No one knew what he was thinking.

Was it an order from Paris? Was it out of indignation? Was it just a moment of impulsiveness?

No one knows, and few people care about his motives. Facts are always more important than ideas. The attack of the French Red Navy caused thousands of casualties, and this seemed to be just the beginning.

After the naval battle, the Italian fleet appeared near the battlefield, but they did not participate in the battle. Instead, they participated in the rescue of people who fell into the water.

After the April Fools' Day incident, the French Commune immediately lowered its diplomatic relations with the Alliance and assembled the main forces of the Red Navy, which seemed to be a larger-scale move. As the most loyal ally of the French Commune, the British Red Navy began to assemble and increase its combat readiness level.

At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the French Commune notified the League ambassador, demanding that the League explain the sleeping incident that took place in the waters west of Sardinia and compensate the French Commune.

The [People's Revolutionary League] claimed that the transport fleet was sailing on the high seas but was brutally attacked by the French Red Navy, resulting in more than 300 casualties among the alliance members. The League's Ministry of Foreign Affairs required the French Commune to give a reasonable explanation.

The two sides accused each other and the diplomats held urgent consultations, but no consensus was reached. The situation became more serious, and the Union Navy sent more warships to Alexandria. The Central Asian Military District also began mobilization, and a large number of army troops were shipped to Saudi Arabia by sea.

The Alliance and the Anglo-French Alliance do not border each other on land, the Suez Canal has been taken back by Egypt, and the Alliance's deployment of troops in Saudi Arabia will not have any impact on Britain and the French Commune, but it is a signal.

If the French Commune did not respond well, the naval battle would likely turn into a full-scale war.

While the League and the French Commune were conducting various diplomatic negotiations, the German Empire and the Italian government both contacted the People's Revolutionary League. The Germans said very bluntly, "Once the League goes to war with the Syndicalists, Germany will declare war on the French Commune."

The Anglo-French alliance has nearly one million troops trapped in North America and Spain. As long as the German tanks launch an attack, they will surely be able to reach the gates of Paris again!

The current situation is what the German government has always dreamed of. If the People's Revolutionary League and the French Commune fight each other, the threat to Germany in the east will be completely eliminated. The powerful German army can use all its strength on the Western Front and will surely be able to wipe out France, its century-old enemy.

The Italians were not as enthusiastic as the Germans, because of the Ethiopian incident, Mussolini and his Fascist Party were full of hatred for the alliance. Even though they knew that joining forces with the People's Revolutionary League to deal with the trade unions was the best way out, the Italians still could not forget the Ethiopian incident.

Count Ciano, in his communication with the League's ambassador in Rome, revealed Mussolini's true colors, "The Leader needs the League to compensate for what happened in Ethiopia."

Mussolini wanted not just a little compensation, he wanted a lot, not only money, but also the technical data of the Alliance's tanks, planes, and warships, and even the production lines.

This is too fantastic. The Alliance does not mind selling weapons and production lines to Italy as long as they pay enough money. The problem is that Mussolini does not pay.

But want to get something for free.

The German army was partially mobilized, and the number of troops was greatly expanded. A large number of heavy weapons and equipment were sent to the western border, and the army began to assemble secretly. The labor syndicate had many spies in Germany, and the German army's unusual movements were soon known to the French Commune. The French, eager for revenge, were not afraid of another full-scale war with the hateful Germans, but if the [People's Revolutionary League] joined forces with Germany, the labor syndicate would have almost no chance of winning.

After realizing that the situation was not good, the French Commune calmed down a little and its tone was no longer so high. The British Red Navy also suspended its plan to break into the Mediterranean.

Diplomats from the French Commune and the League began truly meaningful negotiations. Although both sides were very angry, they had no plans for a full-scale war, nor was there any need for it.

The territories of the French Commune and the Alliance are separated by the German Empire. Should we tear Germany apart first and then go to war?

You can also use the navy to cover an amphibious landing. However, there is no way to guarantee logistical supply, and it is easy to become a refueling tactic. If you don't have a stable and reliable forward base, an amphibious landing operation can easily turn into a disaster.

During the World War, the British and French forces carried out a landing operation on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Egypt was used as a place to assemble troops and stockpile supplies. As a result, the British and French forces paid an appallingly heavy price and ended in a catastrophic defeat.

Neither the Alliance nor the French Commune were confident that they could defeat the other side through amphibious landings. Therefore, the war did not break out. The two sides had unfriendly and unenthusiastic exchanges, and ultimately each suffered the consequences.

Chapter 897 Question

In order to urge the People's Revolutionary League and the French Commune to go to war, the Germans made a lot of efforts and promised a lot. As long as the war could be fought, the German government would pay a lot.

But the war did not break out. The French Commune was unwilling to fight two powerful enemies at the same time, and the Alliance was unwilling to take the blame for the Germans. Whether from a geopolitical perspective or a political standpoint, the British and French alliance would definitely defeat Germany first before wrestling with the Human Revolutionary League, and would not start with the Human Revolutionary League.

The same is true in reverse, which is determined by the geopolitical structure.

After a month of negotiations, the Alliance and the French Commune reached a preliminary consensus on the naval battle of April 4 and the Spanish issue: both sides would not pursue each other's losses and responsibilities in the naval battle, the People's Revolutionary League would stop interfering in the Spanish Civil War, and the Trade Union Syndicate agreed to let all Spaniards willing to evacuate Iberia leave.

The alliance had already evacuated all the Chinese in Spain, and now it was the Spanish who were to be taken away. Because there were too many Spaniards who wanted to leave, the alliance asked the union to give a six-month buffer period. During this period, the existing control line between the Spanish People's Party and the Spanish Republic was the boundary, and neither side was allowed to cross the border to launch an attack.

Upon learning that the People's Revolutionary League and the French Commune had reached an agreement, the German high-ranking officials were very disappointed, and some even expressed anger. Although William III was also very disappointed, he had long anticipated such an outcome.

Chairman Lin is an idealist, but he is also a realist. He handles things more from a realistic perspective. As long as Chairman Lin can maintain control over the People's Revolutionary League, the League will not be able to resist the tanks of the trade unions for Germany.

If that assassin... William III sometimes couldn't help but have this thought. The assassin failed to kill Lin Yongchang, but instead killed Stalin, the chairman of the Anti-Counterrevolutionary Committee.

After the assassination, the Human Reform League staged a large-scale military exercise in Poland with a total force of 260 million, which really made everyone in Germany feel threatened.

The German government claimed that the assassination of Chairman Lin was not done by them, but was framed by the trade unions. However, the assassin was indeed a member of the German General Staff, which could not be denied. Because of this incident, Germany had to allow the Allied fleet to enter the Mediterranean.

It seemed that Germany had paid a heavy price, but as long as the assassination could be covered up, it would not be considered a loss. Moreover, it was precisely because the Allied fleet could enter and leave the Mediterranean that the "April Fool's Day incident" was triggered.

Unfortunately, the People's Revolutionary League did not fight with the French Commune in the end, which disappointed many people. After hearing that the League had made peace with the French Commune, Mussolini smashed more than a dozen fine porcelains in a villa.

The League did not fight with France, so there was no need to spend a huge price to win over Italy. Without economic aid, planes, tanks and artillery, the League would not be kind enough to support a fascist regime unless Mussolini offered a good price.

After the April Fools' Day incident was resolved, the alliance continued to focus on domestic construction. Both the European and Asian regions were building more highways and bridges. The trans-Eurasian highway was also under construction, as well as bridges, reservoirs, and housing and municipal construction in major cities.

These constructions require a lot of steel and cement, and a lot of labor, and their role in promoting the economy is obvious. Even if some projects lose money for a while, it doesn't matter, as long as the cost can be recovered in the future.

The alliance system has advantages in the development process. The state is responsible for infrastructure construction, which can promote the economic development of the entire country. Both the people and the country can benefit from economic development.

Of course, different people

The benefits gained from development vary, some are greater, some are less, and some people's interests are harmed. What the country needs to do is to allow more people to benefit from development and crack down on illegal and disorderly activities in all fields.

However, even if the alliance has taken severe measures to crack down on economic crimes and corruption and bribery, it is still impossible to completely prevent corruption from happening.

Corruption has existed since the birth of human civilization and has always existed. No matter what methods are used, it cannot be eradicated. Religion, imperial power, and the lofty ideal of liberating all mankind are all useless.

Within the alliance, the corruption problem was not as exaggerated as in the German Empire and Italy, and the privileged class was not as arrogant as the trade unions. However, the problem of corruption could never be eliminated, and the only thing to do was to adopt the attitude of "constantly wiping it" and launch an anti-corruption campaign every once in a while.

In September, a strong typhoon hit Hong Kong, killing nearly 9 people, leaving hundreds missing, and destroying more than 8000 ships. Other places affected by the strong typhoon include Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian, but the damage in those places was not as severe as in Hong Kong.

The Meteorological Bureau issued a warning a week before the typhoon appeared, but it still caused huge casualties and damage. The Alliance can build powerful warships of 50,000 to 60,000 tons and build railways and highways connecting Europe and Asia, but it still has no good solution for natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes.

The Alliance Central Committee is already very experienced in disaster relief. After the typhoon landed in Hong Kong, it established a disaster relief headquarters and dispatched personnel and supplies from all over the country to help the victims rebuild their homes.

The alliance's territory is too vast, and all kinds of disasters occur every year. This is something that cannot be prevented. We can only establish an early warning mechanism and a disaster relief system to evacuate people and prepare before a disaster occurs, and carry out rescue as soon as possible after the disaster occurs.

Also on the 20th of this month, the Japanese region was exposed for embezzlement of disaster relief funds and supplies. The Alliance Central first ordered the Japanese government to conduct a self-inspection, but was not satisfied with the results of the self-inspection, so it sent a working group to Tokyo to directly investigate the corruption case in the Japanese region.

At the instruction of the central government, the investigation team collected evidence and conducted inspections on many things in Japan and found that there was a large amount of corruption within the Japanese government and widespread fraud in companies and enterprises. For example, the cars produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries had major safety hazards, and some parts provided by Mitsui to the shipyards did not meet the performance standards and there were cases of inferior products being passed off as good ones. In addition, there were a large number of illegal loan issuances in Japan's Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, with a bad debt rate as high as 27%, which was simply outrageous.

Because so many problems had arisen, the central government launched a top-down purge of the Japanese regional government. A large number of government workers and heads of state-owned factories and enterprises were packed up and sent to Siberia to grow potatoes, and some key leaders chose to commit suicide.

Officials of the alliance usually don't commit suicide by jumping off a building, nor do they use depression as an excuse. Suicide is suicide, so why come up with so many unnecessary excuses?

Some tough people use the traditional seppuku method, but this method of suicide is very troublesome and requires a skilled kaishakunin, so not many people use this method. Most people who commit suicide use a pistol, either by putting it in their mouth, or by pressing it against their temple or chin, pulling the trigger, and with a "bang", the matter is over.

Chapter 898: Crushed (I will update six chapters today)

The Japanese are a major faction within the Human Innovation Alliance. There are many Japanese cadres within the alliance, and there are also a large number of Japanese in the army, navy, and air force. Especially in the navy and industries related to shipbuilding, the number of Japanese generals, officers, and engineers once exceeded 5%.

During the investigation of the Japanese district by the Alliance Central Committee, many high-ranking Japanese were expelled from the party and transferred to relevant departments. Many people at the middle and lower levels were also involved, and the entire Japanese political arena was like a major earthquake.

Some foreign media, mainly in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Turkey and other countries, described what happened in the Japanese area as a purge launched by Lin Yongchang against Japanese people. The League had launched many rectification campaigns before, and the syndicalist countries had also launched large and small purges, so foreign media linked the League's anti-corruption campaign to conspiracy theories.

Those media either had malicious intentions of creating unrest in the world or did not understand the political environment of the alliance. Their views caused widespread discussion, and many people actually believed the rumor that the People's Revolutionary League was deliberately carrying out a purge of Japanese people.

However, not many people in the alliance believed this statement. Many high-ranking Japanese were sentenced, but they all deserved it. Most of the vacant positions after the rectification were filled by people promoted from the Japanese region.

Although no one said it, many people felt that it was a great thing for the old men to be eliminated. They were so old, but they still occupied their positions and refused to give them up. If this continued, how would the young people have a chance to stand out?

For the rest of 1937, the alliance was busy dealing with systemic corruption and cost issues in the Japanese region, and the central government took great pains to clean up the mess for the Japanese local governments.

The local governments of Japan wanted to learn from the US's "asset securitization" approach, but were suppressed by the central government of the alliance. Fortunately, they were suppressed, otherwise, the hole that was created would be almost impossible to fill.

"

It's shocking, comrades! "

Chen Tianhua originally had a good impression of Japanese comrades. Japanese comrades were particularly polite. They were courteous in their words and deeds, and liked to bow at every turn. However, he did not expect that the local government of Japan could cause such a big mess.

Decades ago, Chen Tianhua studied in Japan and admired the Japanese for their rigorous attitude and careful craftsmanship. Later, when Japan was hammered, he still had a good impression of Japan. But he didn't expect that the rigorous attitude was fake and the craftsmanship was unreliable.

The fraud of Japanese companies such as Mitsui and Mitsubishi lasted for more than ten years and it was impossible for them not to be discovered. In projects such as the Gezhouba Hydropower Station and the Three Gorges Dam, they had considered using Japanese-made parts, but because of Lin Yongchang's insistence, all materials used in key projects had to be tested, so that Japanese defective products were not allowed to mix in.

At that time, it caused some impact, and some Japanese enterprises and companies believed that the central government had a special view of Japan. Now, those rumors have been refuted.

It can be said that what happened in late September shattered the good impression Japan had built up over the past decade.

When Chen Tianhua first heard about the fraud and corruption, he was really shocked. He didn't understand why the local cadres and managers did that. The alliance's supervision of all walks of life is so strong that fraud, especially fraud that has lasted for more than ten years, will definitely be discovered. Didn't they think of this?

Then, Chen Tianhua thought of something else. The problem in Japan was so serious, would there be similar problems in other places? Corruption exists everywhere, would it be so serious as to cause a systemic collapse?

Counterfeiting and passing off inferior products as good ones also happen frequently, and it is not so simple when quality inspection departments and large companies work together to commit counterfeiting.

"We need to conduct a comprehensive investigation across the country!"

After Chen Tianhua became the chairman of the Human Reform Alliance, he quickly launched a rectification movement, and now he is conducting a thorough investigation into other issues.

"First, start with the central government," Chen Tianhua set the tone at the enlarged central meeting. "Start from Chang'an, and everyone must pass the test! Once the central government's problems are solved, we can then sort out the problems in various places!"

Chairman Chen's approach would have a great impact on the country's production and engineering construction. Some comrades in the party proposed that special treatment should be given to certain special industries. Chen Tianhua believed that no industry or person should be exempted.

So the problem was handed over to Lin Yongchang. Some projects, such as the "Zhurong (nuclear bomb) project" and the "Tianyan (satellite) project", were top secret. Except for a few people, even the comrades in the central government, including Chen Tianhua, did not know about them.

Over the years, Lin Yongchang has appeared less frequently in public, but he still maintains a significant influence on the alliance. The projects he is in charge of, such as computers, nuclear bombs, missiles, and heavy bombers, have been continuously advancing and have never stopped.

Many foreign media described him as "retired but not retired" and "secretly manipulating", believing that the evil dictator still controls the Human Reform Alliance. However, some foreign media often publish news such as Lin Yongchang being shot or killed by dogs. As long as Lin Yongchang does not appear in public for a few days, similar news will appear.

Lin Yongchang was well aware of the tricks of the Western media and never took the barking to heart. After careful consideration, he made a speech at some meetings, "Comrade Chen Tianhua's instructions must be carried out to the letter. As for those top-secret projects, I will explain the situation to him."

A vigorous investigation and inventory operation began within the alliance. To outsiders, this was a turmoil within the People's Revolutionary League, and they believed that the strength of the People's Revolutionary League would be greatly weakened by Jon Snow as a result.

In addition, the alliance has increased its investment in the entertainment industry, increased the production of consumer goods, and is preparing for its fourth five-year plan. After analysis, the German government and the French Commune and other countries believe that the alliance's ability to interfere in international affairs will be reduced to a very low level in the next few years.

If we want to solve some major international problems, the next two to three years will be an important window period. The Anglo-French alliance has been preparing for war for more than ten years, and Germany and Italy have also been preparing for a new round of world war for many years. These countries have paid too much to prepare for war and can no longer stop.

Chapter 899: Firefight

The living standards of people in the Anglo-French alliance and Germany have been growing very slowly, and have almost stagnated for decades. In other words, the living standards of people in some places have not declined.

In Paris, there were no more salons filled with perfume. The only things left were military factories and military departments. The entire French Commune was just a huge barracks, and everyone had to serve military purposes. Movies were seen as a symbol of bourgeois corruption and degeneration, and were cut down to only eight patriotic educational movies. Books were also subjected to major censorship and cleansing. Any books that were inconsistent with syndicalism were not allowed to be published or distributed, and those that had already been published and distributed were all burned.

People from the committee went to various places to check. If they found books that were not on the white list, not only would the books be burned, but the people who kept the books would also be thrown into thought reform camps.

According to the guidance of the Syndicalist Committee, the books of Montesquieu and Mendel could not

For the general public, it was only available in the library of the Paris Coordinating Committee, but like many Union films, it was only available to the leaders of the syndicate. Later, the children of the leaders were also included.

Someone once held a book and shouted loudly, "Knowledge is innocent!"

Then they were knocked to the ground, "Bah! The big poisonous weed of the bourgeoisie!" The books were also thrown into the fire and turned into ashes in the flames.

The Alliance was hit by a strong typhoon, and the union reported it extensively. The Alliance Central Committee dealt with the corruption and fraud in the Japanese area, and the union conducted in-depth analysis. Relying on the power of the media, the union successfully portrayed the Alliance as a place in dire straits.

Didn’t you see how serious the corruption in the alliance is? Didn’t you see that the [People’s Revolutionary League] is always a natural disaster?
