Chapter 1376 The Last Long-Term Simulation (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
How would the Empire react?
While diplomats from various countries were making inquiries in Zhongdu, the eyes of the whole world were fixed on Zhongdu, on the heart of the empire.
The sudden incident at the port of Kuwait shocked the whole world and also shocked the subjects of the empire.
When the news that the imperial port was attacked by the British Royal Navy spread throughout the empire through the radio, when kind-hearted people turned on the radio and heard the news that the imperial port was attacked, merchant ships were sunk, cities were bombarded, and hundreds of civilians were killed, one can imagine their angry expressions.
Even when those compatriots who had not yet become naturalized citizens were massacred by Americans in the United States, the empire had to use its army to intervene and bombard Los Angeles as punishment. What’s more, now that the empire’s territory has been bombarded, the citizens of the empire have suffered heavy casualties while they were eating pork and drinking wine in their own country and land because of the bombardment from British warships.
How could people endure such humiliation?
So angry crowds took to the streets, and while protesting against the atrocities of the British Navy, they had only one call - declare war!
Declare war! In the name of the Empire!
Revenge! In the name of the nation!
What was the empire’s response to the overwhelming public opinion?
The cabinet center was discussing it, and it was during this discussion that an urgent notice was issued on the radio - His Majesty Emperor Shengde would make a radio speech at 8 o'clock that evening.
Starting at 7 o'clock that evening, not only in the empire's homeland and colonies, the empire's subjects gathered in front of radios or street broadcasts. Even Chinese people in mainland China and overseas crowded in front of the radios. They were waiting for that voice, or in other words, waiting for the empire's final decision.
At 7:30 in the evening, Emperor Zhu was sitting in the imperial study. At this time, in another room, the staff were preparing the broadcasting equipment. This time the speech would not be broadcast by playing a recording disk, but would be broadcast live.
Because... this concerns the fate of the empire!
While the staff were preparing for the broadcast, Emperor Zhu just sat there quietly, occasionally puffing on his cigar.
He had to think about some issues, namely war...
war!
This time it is a full-scale war between the Ming Empire and Britain!
What is the final outcome of this war?
After taking a puff of the cigar and exhaling the smoke, Emperor Zhu looked at the smoke in front of him, and a voice echoed in his heart.
"The time is now!"
Yes, it's now!
Now it's time to summon the system!
There was only one long-term deduction left. Wasn't this the day I had been waiting for all these years? Wasn't this the moment?
Emperor Zhu said to himself in his heart.
“When in doubt, ask the system.”
In fact, he has made a decision. What is this decision?
Of course it’s a declaration of war!
Now that declaring war is imminent and has reached a point of no return, what is the point of asking the system?
"Hasn't all these years of preparation just for this moment?"
Emperor Zhu said to himself.
"All these preparations are made, isn't it just to destroy the British... no, to destroy the world hegemony of the Anglo-Saxons?"
Isn't it just to establish the world hegemony of the Chinese!
Yes, that's right, we have been preparing for this moment, for that day to come.
"Now is not about making a decision, but about..."
To peek into the future!
After pondering for a moment, Emperor Zhu said to himself.
"It seems that it is time to conduct a long-term simulation."
After a long simulation, there is only one chance left!
Precisely because it is so precious, he cherishes the few remaining opportunities doubly and has not used this opportunity in the past few decades.
Now, the time has come.
He took a deep breath and started a new simulation.
【Do you want to start the life simulation? 】
Looking at the familiar interface, Emperor Zhu said.
"yes,"
【Please select the simulation time. 】
"Long simulation!"
…
[Begin simulation...]
The scenes in the life simulator are constantly changing.
In the square in front of the Imperial Palace, hundreds of thousands of people gathered there, cheering and shouting, with national flags flying, expressing their support for the declaration of war in this way.
Total mobilization!
War has been declared!
The invincible imperial army will set out from here and point the sword of the empire at the British!
For our compatriots who died!
For the glory of the empire!
On March 9, the German army, according to the Schlieffen Plan that was formulated and modified before the war, intended to launch a large-scale offensive on the Western Front. However, due to the fierce resistance of the French and Belgian armies on the Marne River, the German army's plan for a quick victory failed. After the Battle of the Marne River, the German army retreated to the Aisne River line.
On April 15, in order to gain control of the Mediterranean Sea, the French, Austrian and Russian joint fleets sailed to the island of Malta. On the 17th, the Battle of Malta broke out. The Allied forces lost two dreadnoughts and four pre-dreadnoughts, and the British Mediterranean Fleet lost two dreadnoughts and two pre-dreadnoughts. The British fleet withdrew to Alexandria.
On the Eastern Front, the Russian Third and Fifth Armies took the lead in attacking East Prussia on March 16, but the Fifth Army was surrounded and annihilated by the German army.
On the southern front, the Russian Second Army occupied Tehran and began an offensive towards India.
In the days that followed, the pattern of the war seemed familiar. Both sides tried to outflank the other side, but failed. Both sides won and lost, and finally fell into a stalemate. From then on, the Western Front entered the stage of positional warfare. Although the Russian offensive on the Eastern Front suffered a failure, it also dispersed the German forces and affected the war on the Western Front.
The state of war seemed to be not much different from that of another world, because the weapons used by both sides were similar to those in World War I. The only difference was that at the end of the year, the French began to try to use tanks to break the stalemate on the Western Front.
Although this battlefield was the First World War, to some extent, its scope of war even exceeded that of the Second World War.
While Europe was engulfed in war, in Asia, the Roman legions were attacking India, in North America, the Imperial Army and the American Army were fighting in the vast West, in South America, the Imperial Army defensively occupied Colombia and Venezuela, and in North Africa, the French and Russian armies were attacking British colonies, not only occupying Egypt, but even going all the way to Sudan. In South Africa, the Imperial Army invaded the Cape Colony.
In the Pacific, the Imperial Navy fought many naval battles with the British and American Joint Pacific Fleet, with both sides winning and losing.
In Australia, after a spectacular naval battle, the doors of Australia and New Zealand were opened to the Empire, and the Empire's military boots set foot in New Zealand and Australia...
The old group is down, so I created a new book club group: 739209015. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
