Chapter 229 Europa Universalis
In order to anger Prussia, Downing soon decided to establish a "Democratic Republic of Germany" in East Prussia, allowing the light of freedom to shine on German land for the first time, and promised that the East India Company's army would evacuate East Prussia within 5 to 10 years, and that everything in democratic Germany would be ruled by its citizens.
In preparation for the Election Committee of Windsor Consortium in Konesburg, Bismarck's dream of unification had the greatest crisis. Now, the pace of unification of Germany has not yet taken the first step, and East Prussia has been independent. Like Downing's previous governance philosophy, the highest authority of Democratic Germany will be two houses. The members of the House of Lords are temporarily designated by the East India Company and will be composed of elites from all walks of life in the future. However, this still reflects the will of the Election Committee. For example, these elites will come from the academic, financial, industrial and other fields. It is a very important arrangement for which industries trade unions can enter the House of Lords.
The hometown was finally "liberated". Engels and Comrade Marx were very excited. Regardless of their identity as English and Israeli citizens, they rushed to Konesburg to form their own proletarian party.
This incident is so serious that civilians will overturn the royal power of European nobles. Even the British government does not want to see this happen. Bismarck was removed from the position of prime minister by Prussia. Although this iron-blooded prime minister has done his best and performed well, he still cannot withstand the war machine led by god-level industrialists.
At this time, the old king of Bavaria had passed away. The newly appointed Ludwig II was a young man under twenty years old. He missed the glorious years of royal power and was very dissatisfied with his good friend Princess Sissi's husband. Downing gradually became an unpopular guest in Bavaria.
The Security Committee strengthened the security around Downing, which made the Marquis of Munich have three hundred guards in Munich, attracting the attention of the young king, and the relationship between the two sides worsened. On this day, Ludwig even said to Sissi: "Call your husband to leave Munich, this big devil here makes me feel uneasy."
The little king's feeling was completely correct. Not only did the big devil leave Munich without listening to his advice, but a nationwide strike started in Bavaria a few days later. The little king was quite panicked because his confidant told him that the big devil had a good relationship with the trade union, and I'm afraid this matter had something to do with the big devil's manipulation.
The little king of Bavaria urgently summoned his cousin Princess Sissi, but was accused that she had already left Munich with her daughter to London. Ludwig felt even more wrong. His confidant suggested that he send his personal guard to arrest Tangning, but he did not dare to do so. The big devil is notorious and has an air force and cannot be besieged. At most, he, a king who has just ascended the throne, can be beaten by him?
The current royal power of the Bavarian Kingdom has been severely bound by the parliament, and Downing's position as a financial and industrial leader in Bavaria has made him have far more influence in the parliament than the little king. What's more, Downing's omnipresent relationship network has penetrated into the army through many years of operation. Amid the calls for suppressing strikes, many generals with good relations with Downing have expressed that they "do not support the army in suppressing the workers' strikes by force."
What will happen when workers and capitalists join forces? Of course, they are urged. The little king has already felt a chill because the striker's union has already shouted out the political demands of "the people are masters of their own country". Comrade Marx, a proletarian revolutionary, published articles criticizing the "corrupt and backward royal system" in the German version of the Telegraph. This seems to be the first time that the light-tasting Telegraph has participated in ********** so intensively. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart. It seems that a certain marquis is going to hold a coup in Bavaria.
One is the fledgling little king, and the other is the Windsor Great, who is intimidating the world. Even if the Windsor Great had only three hundred troops in Bavaria, it seemed that the little king would not dare to touch him. The workers' movement in Bavaria was surging without being suppressed, and the whole world was shocked. The people of the world not only shocked the scale of the workers' movement, but also shocked that it was not effectively suppressed by any force.
Under the pressure of a national strike, the Bavarian parliament was debated on political reform. The issue was to weaken the royal power again and completely hand over the executive power to the majority cabinet, while the king had only the power to sign and agree. After half a month of fierce quarrel, the parliament passed the "Cabinet" bill. Ludwig was already in despair and could not command the army, asking for help from the Austrian emperor with good relations.
Under the embarrassing situation of the powerful Prussia having a Danish army in the north and an eic army in the east, it joined forces with Austria and France to save the little king of Bavaria, and at the same time sent troops to Bavaria. Hessen, Baden, Württemberg, Nassau and other states who shared the same hatred of the enemy joined the ranks of saving the Bavarian dynasty.
The situation in Bavaria is facing a crisis. The International Federation of Workers urgently called on workers across Europe to strike to support the Bavarian workers' movement. Israel immediately dispatched a large number of airships to airdrop weapons at workers in cities such as Berlin, Paris, and Vienna. The entire worker armed movement suddenly surging and swept across Europe.
The European continent was in chaos, and it was a big deal. The Windsor Imperialist Military Group operated with all its might and mobilized the 50,000 American Alliance Group led by Jackson, the 100,000 Japanese Legion led by Takashi Saigo, the 50,000 Century Group led by Don Sara, the 150,000 East India Legion led by India and Malayan soldiers, forming an incredible expeditionary force of 350,000. With the support of the world's most powerful shipping capacity, the Windsor Empire will launch a century-long decisive battle with the old European nobles.
In order to delay the time when the workers' armed movement was suppressed, the East India Air Force also carried out unprecedented bombing and air blockade, dispatching hundreds of airships to efficiently harass the French, German and Austrian troops from the air using black machine guns.
Almost all airbus civilian airships, all global natural wonder travel agencies, and all exploration airships have been recruited for military use. Ensure that every important battlefield has air support so that the workers' arms will not be effectively annihilated. The airship troops have caused great trouble to the enemy's logistics supply, making it impossible for the enemy to carry out large-scale expeditions.
When the East India Company's air force was willing to go, NATO's powered paragliding naturally could not play its due role. After barely taking off, it was often quickly shot down by the machine gun on the airship, and the air supremacy completely fell into the hands of the airship army.
The only surprise is that the shellless shell design of the black machine gun is poor in heat dissipation ability under high-intensity firepower, which forced the Eic Air Force to change the machine gun for a period of time to prevent the machine gun barrel from overheating, which gave the firepower a discount. Fortunately, there is an air conditioning system in the airship, and blowing the cold air towards the barrel can effectively alleviate the overheating problem.
Air conditioning cooling on machine guns is a temporary solution, and it can only be used on airships. Firearms engineers are trying to improve this problem. One possible way is to increase the ventilation vents and try to use recoil to push a small compressor to have stronger heat dissipation capabilities. Sniper rifles are deployed more sniper rifles on airships to reduce the frequency of machine gun use. Sniper rifles use high-explosive bombs to replace sniper killing.
Although it is called "continental chaos", it is actually not that painful. The two sides are just a battle between the army and have no attacks on civilians. So far, it is still a civilized war.
On the battlefield of East Prussia, the East India Company expelled the Prussian army from East Prussia with 10,000 enemies with 100,000. Then everyone thinks about what the 350,000 army formed by the United States, Japan, China, Britain, India, and Malaysia meant. Of course, it would sweep the entire continent without any negotiation.
However, sweeping is easy and controlling is not easy. In the end, Downing decided that all war resources would be tilted towards the German region. The American Legion crossed the Atlantic Ocean and landed in Hamburg. The East Indian Legion exited the Mediterranean from the Suez Canal and occupied the Alsace and Lorraine after landing in Belgium. While blocking the French army to support the German battlefield eastward, they attacked the states that joined forces with Prussia in the northeast. The Japanese Legion, the Central Army, had a long journey, crossed the Suez Canal and landed directly from Venice to take Austria and then fought the northern expedition.
The little king of Bavaria thought he had received support from the entire European aristocratic group, but the subsequent progress shocked him, which proved that he was intuitively afraid of how reliable Emperor Windsor was. This was the most brutal big capitalist and warlord in the world, and the terrifying devil who could mobilize 350,000 expedition troops from the world.
Of course, Downing also made concessions to the formation of the American Legion. In the future, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms of North America will become two countries. In the future, California, Oregon and Washington on the west coast will nominally belong to the United States Union, but have its own military and diplomatic rights and are free states within the Confederacy.
The Southern Army had only transferred 50,000 yuan, and it was obvious that the Northern Army could not have had an opportunity. Lincoln won re-election with the "isolationism" of not participating in the European War without showing off, and formally announced the peace agreement reached with the South and handed it over to Congress for voting.
The three-party representatives will sign an agreement at the White House in Washington, DC, and the president of the alliance will personally go to Washington to show his importance to the agreement. Even Downing will go to the White House to sign the agreement in person. The Yankees couldn't help but exclaim: What a courage!
Lincoln was thinking about whether he would take the opportunity to get rid of the Windsor Consortium, but it was one thing to assassinate Cia secretly, and it was another thing to openly engage in conspiracy with great fanfare. Or... let God punish him, hoping that his expeditionary force would be as good as the expeditionary force that Napoleon fell in Russia.
Lincoln thought Downing would be on airships at most, but... when he greeted President Davis at the White House, he heard a strange sound in the sky. The White House politicians looked up and saw nine small black dots approaching from a distance, which seemed a bit like the sound of a power paragliding invented by the French.
Lincoln's guard was shocked and thought that Downing wanted to avenge Cia's assassination and wanted to kill the US president with the Air Force in broad daylight, so he quickly advised the president to hide. Davis laughed and said, "Mr. Lincoln, don't panic. This is Mr. Windsor's new means of transportation, called helicopter."
The president of the South was chatting and laughing, and the president of the North could not overshadow him. Lincoln forced himself to calm down and did not listen to the guard's warning, but just stood closer to Davis.
At present, there are two types of helicopters manufactured by Israeli military enterprises. One is the ah64 attack helicopter (attackhelicopte), and the other is the multi-purpose helicopter uh64 (utilityhelicopte). The ah64 is characterized by an extremely narrow head to reduce the bullet surface and thick armor, which can withstand the shooting of Gatling machine guns. Its own firepower is a black chegatling machine gun turret located on the side that can be operated from the cabin. On the other side is a small high-caliber cannon, which can attack.
In terms of firepower, the uh64 only has a black chegatling cannon located under the fuselage, and its armor has also been reduced. Its focus is on a large load and can be used for fire support, bombing, rescue, anti-submarine, reconnaissance, transportation and other tasks. This time, the one who came to "show off his power" came from the helipad modified by three king-class heavy cruisers, a total of 6 escort Ah64 and three passenger models Uh64. Among them, the one wrapped in the middle is Tangning's seat and Naval Aviation Force No. 1.
Tang Ning rushed over so aggressively, and wanted to give Lincoln a yellow card to warn me if I really wanted to attack and let the attack helicopter kill him directly, I'm afraid you can't stop it.
Seeing the gloomy appearance of ah64 and the gloomy cannon and cannon barrel, President Lincoln was really scared, and the reporters around him were quite interested in these new aircraft, lifted up the camera and kept taking pictures, and occasionally made admiration.
The helicopter formation cooperated to idling three times over the White House, and after the reporters took enough photos, they landed one by one on the lawn at the main entrance of the White House. A transnational warlord, Tang Cai, came out of the UH64 politely, wearing a Panama hat and charming smile, waved to the reporters and the audience.
If this is a local battlefield, Lincoln is very suspicious that these new black combat vehicles may have local combat advantages. Armed helicopter formations came to the front of the White House, which was like putting a sharp knife in the heart of the United States of America, making Lincoln feel uncomfortable.
The power paragliding army vigorously introduced by the US military has become a juggling group entertainment facility in front of ah64 and uh64.
