Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 448 The war between imperialists
"This is a world war!!"

"His Majesty the Emperor will lead the European Allied Forces to the expedition!"

"Defend our civilization!"

"New Rome is born!"

"The Tenth Crusade!"

in Paris.

Almost all newspapers are using the largest headlines to tell all Parisians: A world war has broken out!
The British Empire, the French Empire, the United States of America, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Austrian Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Portugal, the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Sweden, the Grand Duchy of Finland, and other countries that believe in God, unite to declare full-scale war on the Ming Empire and its vassal states!

This is an all-out war between Europa civilization and Chinese civilization! !

Today France is a huge empire that occupies the states in the Rhine River region to the north and controls Spain and Italy to the south.

In terms of pure mainland area, it is second only to Russia in the whole of Europe - however, Russia cannot be compared with the Great Plains of France.

Let’s talk about resource endowment.

The only countries in the world that can be compared with today's French Empire are the Ming Empire and the United States of America.

France should naturally be the world's hegemon! !

Leading this war between European civilization and Chinese civilization is the best opportunity for the French to become the new Romans and integrate the entire Europe into the Roman Empire of this era!
All Frenchmen fanatically believe this.

and so.

When they got the declaration of war in the newspapers.

All the French cheered.

In Paris, in Lyon, in Marseille, in every big French city.

Cheers resounded in the streets and alleys.

All French people did not realize the cruelty and length of the war.

In fact.

It's not just the French.

The Ming Empire and its vassals, as well as people in European countries, will not think about the cruelty of war at this moment.

They just know.

Their country has a strong military, but they only know that the people on the opposite side are enemies. Although they do not understand the significance of Christian civilization and Chinese civilization to every ordinary people living in them.

But they all believed in it.

Victory belongs to them.

"God will bless us." and "Chinese ancestors will bless us" may not be much different. Both sides will fight with the guns in their hands until they are exhausted, until one party completely admits defeat.

in this era.

We must be kings and hegemons on the world stage instead of becoming a weak country and nation in the world.

They all have to be very militant.

Imperialism.

If it is not warlike, is it still considered imperialism?

When the power of the Old World is about to enter the Americas.

The two armies of North America have begun to collide.

The Ming Empire army relied on the railroad and Snake River to massively increase its troops toward Helena City on the grounds that mobs from the United States of America threatened the lives of Ming Empire residents in Helena City.

The first batch of troops have already moved in and stationed outside the city of Helena.

The first large-scale army confrontation soon took place between the two sides!
"It seems that the Chinese are going to break through from the north!"

John Stark, the U.S. Army general responsible for commanding the northern defense operations and the hero of the Revolutionary War, frowned at his command post.

In fact, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty's large-scale military mobilization to be hidden from the U.S. intelligence system - if the Americans cannot detect such a large-scale military mobilization, then they are not worthy of competing for supremacy in the North American continent.

therefore.

But when the armies of the Ming Empire mobilized along the Snake River and the railway leading to Bo Town.

The main direction of the Ming army's attack is easy to guess - that is Helena, located on the upper reaches of the Missouri River!

Because in this day and age.

Military development relies either on waterways or railway lines.

After all, the current army's heavily armed forces are equipped with a large number of heavy artillery.It requires a lot of shells.

And the number is also extremely large - this is a battle involving millions of troops.The amount of material required is heavenly.

It is different from the previous battles in the classical era - although in ancient times there were often times when the army was said to be a million troops, but that was a false claim.

In fact.

A military and political group with 5 soldiers.

Anywhere in ancient times, it was a giant.

In China, they are all "potential stocks" that have the potential to dominate the world.

And now the war of this era.

Millions of personnel are mobilized at every turn.

Without railways and waterways.

Relying on traditional transportation methods, I am afraid that no country can support the cost of war in this era.

therefore.

There is no need to guess the purpose of the Ming army to capture the city of Helena.

They want to control the area between the Snake River and the Missouri River and build a two to three hundred kilometers long railway. In this way, the power of the Ming Empire can enter the Missouri River Basin along the river channels and railways, and spread out along the Missouri River. .

John Stark has known it for a long time.

The regular army of the Ming Army is definitely difficult to deal with - especially the [-]-strong army of the First Corps of the North American Theater of the Ming Army. All of them are veteran regular troops, not temporary mobilization of conscripts!
And now all those in John Stark's hands are militiamen.

Although the current United States of America has established a Continental Army.

But the militia tradition has not been lost.

The entire U.S. military line is divided into two lines.

One was the "militia line" established during the Revolutionary War.

John Stark only came to the front line of Helena City a week ago.

When he comes.

The first batch of troops of the Ming Army had already entered the city of Helena. While lifting the siege of the Chinese expatriates in Helena City, they unceremoniously began to drive away the white people in the city.

John Stark, who led an army group of more than 20 people, immediately used the militia system to recruit [-] militiamen to fill the front line.

The weapons of these militias are certainly not comparable to those of the regular army.

Based on this reality.

John Stark did not dare to directly command the army to counterattack the city of Helena.

Instead, they dug trenches outside the city, pulled up barbed wire, and assumed a posture of preparing for a defensive war.

However, Zhu Yixin, King of Qin in the Ming Dynasty, did not give him much time to prepare.

With heavy artillery in place.

Continuous shelling began immediately.

The violent shelling made John Stark, who had never experienced such a "high firepower density war", feel increasingly uncertain.

Regardless of the obstruction of his staff, he personally went to the front line to inspect the battle situation.

In his telescope, the mountains to the west of Helena were undulating, while the Missouri River to the east of Helena was flat plains on both sides.

On the river, a large number of steam tugs are transporting troops and supplies!
The transportation in the United States is very convenient.

Even without the railroad.

Just relying on core shipping.

It can support a very large transportation volume.

within a period of time.

An army of [-] people marched in continuously.

It can be predicted that these [-] troops are just the beginning.

Moreover, after they arrived, they immediately began to bombard the US military's defensive positions with heavy artillery.

However, they did not attack immediately.

Instead, start building fortifications!
This also means that the number of subsequent armies is astonishing.

The opponent is really going to break in from here and attack the Missouri River defense line!
