18th century total war

Chapter 385 The Empire Is the Safest

"Levi Charles
The invincible French, Emperor of Europe!
The great black dragon army is invincible in the world!
The legendary emperor who rules the world!
Apostle of God, heir of the devil!
............"

In New York Square, after the frantic shouts, all the people participating in the rally spontaneously raised their right arms high, slanted upwards towards the sky, and shouted heartily: "Long live Levi!
Long live Levi! ! ! "

The American police sergeant responsible for maintaining order next to him complained impatiently.

"Why, in liberal and democratic America, are we policing for a group of tyrant advocates?
Damn politicians, greedy capitalists!

As citizens of the United States, we should let in those protesters outside, and beat up these brainless people who worship the tyrant Levi and disrupt public order! "

"Sir, I'm afraid we'll all lose our jobs if we do that.

Who said that the Europa Empire has become an existence that the whole world cannot provoke.

Take it easy, at least we should be able to live longer than that old tyrant Li Wei.

That tyrant Li Wei did too many evil things, he was even deprived of the ability to bear children by God, ha ha. "

The sheriff's friend and his former partner, the deputy sheriff, comforted him with a smile.

It is not because there are countless people in the United States of America who like Levi's tyrant that they can openly shout the slogan of adoring Levi's tyrant in New York Square, but simply because they are a group of "legal marching citizens" that the United States of America government and capitalists dare not offend '.

It is even necessary to arrange enough police force to maintain every law and order problem created by these Levi's brainless fans.

For example, at the outskirts of New York Square at this time, there were several times as many demonstrators as Levi's brainless fans. Many young people joined the parade with muskets inherited from their parents during the American Revolutionary War!

If it weren't for the sufficient police force in New York, the parade crowd in New York Square would definitely be far more than them. American citizens who worship freedom don't even know their own mothers...

This is not difficult to understand, after all, the public opinion newspapers in the United States of America have not yet been ruled by Levi's empire, and newspapers often publish Levi's "glorious past".

Except for those who have inexplicable admiration for the monarchy and centralization, most people still like a relaxed and free environment. The political environment of the Europa Empire, which is centralized and oppressive, where you can’t even find a ballot box, is in the eyes of many American citizens. There is no difference between here and hell...

Don't look at the temptation of elections and referendums to the people first, regardless of whether there is capital manipulation behind it, as long as they can cast their own vote, so that the bottom people have the "happiness" of participating in the election of the president, they will be happy. I will feel extremely happy, and stubbornly believe that the construction of my motherland has a "one vote of great power" that I have contributed to.

This is the temptation that citizen elections have on public opinion.

Whether it is this world or the world of Li Wei's previous life, the United States of America relies on this method to make American citizens who live in gun violence all day long feel that they are living a very happy life from the bottom of their hearts.

Simply because they are eligible to elect a president!

Perhaps in the eyes of the people of some countries, this is a very stupid behavior, so what if you can elect a president?

What's more, who can guarantee that the presidential candidate is not a product of capital competition?

However, the people in these countries will never be able to appreciate the political happiness of the American people, and even think that this electoral system will cause division in the United States...

Facts have proven that the only time in the history of the United States of America that the Civil War divided us, not because of the political system, but because of the uneven distribution of interests between the North and the South.

There must be a reason why the United States of America, which allows gun battles every day and has a bad security environment, still maintains its status as a world power.

Look at the problem, never look at the surface.

Just like the sheriff in this world, he can't understand why there is a group of people who worship the centralized rule of the tyrant Levi in ​​a free America.

In fact, even Li Wei, who was far away in Paris, was surprised when he heard the news. He can be very sure that he and his imperial government did not spend a penny to fund those civil political organizations that worship him.

Not to mention sending someone to organize a large-scale gathering in private!
After all, in addition to maintaining Li Wei's luxurious life and the basic operating expenses of the empire, the empire's money needs to be invested in industrial production and arms expansion.

Most importantly, the United States of America at this time is not eligible for Li Wei's attention!
Levi put the coordinates of tempting other worlds into North America, just because the whole world can't find a decent opponent, and he chose a tall American among the dwarfs.

The Europa Empire does not have the ability to go on an expedition to the United States of America, but the Europa Empire's navy can easily turn the east coast of the United States of America into scorched earth.

Conquering a country and destroying a country are completely two concepts.

The most important point is that conquest requires the landing of the army, occupying land by land and establishing effective rule. This is the most difficult part.

After all, today is not the era of Genghis Khan, driving a group of livestock, running thousands of miles with cold weapons, defeating distant countries, without worrying about the logistics line.

Arrows can be made from local materials, and the blade can continue to cut people after being rolled and polished, but if the gun is out of ammunition, it is really like a fire stick...

The more modern the army, the stronger its dependence on logistics. The era of random expansion in the cold weapon era is gone forever.

This is why in the history of the world in Li Wei's previous life, after modern times, the countries in the world have become more and more fragmented.

Not only is the reason for the awakening of nationalism, but more importantly, the cost of expeditions has become higher and higher.

The advanced and portable characteristics of weapons make a farmer qualified to pick up a rifle and shoot elite regular troops. All a farmer needs to do is to ambush in a favorable terrain.

Why did guerrilla warfare play an extremely low role in the era of cold weapons, and in the era after the popularity of breech-loading guns, guerrilla warfare could even change dynasties?

The reason is that professional warriors who fight with cold weapons are fundamentally different from ordinary farmers.

No matter how well prepared ordinary people are, professional warriors can kill them like vegetables and melons.

But a farmer with a gun only needs to shoot a bullet to send an elite war-torn veteran to hell!

As for the generation difference of heavy weapons, it can rely on complex terrain such as mountains and forests to make up for it.

The guerrillas no longer need to have the same military literacy as the regular army. They only need to have high fighting courage to defeat the regular army whose individual combat effectiveness is stronger than theirs!

This is why Levi did not launch a full-scale war of conquest in North America or even the far east.

Perhaps Li Wei can eliminate all the guerrillas, but the guerrillas with guns in their hands and the guerrillas with big knives are completely two kinds of creatures.

At that time, how much casualties will Li Wei have to pay to get a piece of white land?
Li Wei couldn't even estimate how long it would take to completely suppress the guerrillas!

The massacre is refreshing, but it will only push everyone to the guerrillas. The land after the massacre will not provide any war resources, and all the logistical pressure will fall on the European mainland across the sea. This kind of expeditionary war, except Apart from letting the Europa Empire use up the last copper plate, Li Wei can't see any benefits.

Unless, the enemies in the Far East and North America possess the 'key' that allows Levi to prolong his life.

However, according to the tip of Xiaobai, the assistant artificial intelligence of the total war system, the vampires, the controllers of the undead army that invaded from the other world, although they are the longevity race, they do not have the means to make humans immortal.

First embrace is not a means of longevity, unless Li Wei is willing to have a vampire master on his head!
This vampire from another world has absolute class suppression on his first embrace. Rather than saying that first embrace is the way vampires reproduce, it is better to say that it is a way for vampires to create personal slaves of the same race.

Obviously, the longevity Li Wei wants is the longevity that he can control his own destiny, not the longevity of being a foreign slave.

Paris, Versailles.

Li Wei put down the report in his hand, shook his head and said, "I don't like the last sentence 'child of the devil', this description will affect the majestic image of the emperor."

"I'm so sorry, Your Majesty.

These non-governmental organizations that originated in North America were formed spontaneously. If it were not for the notification from the Washington government, we would not even know that there would be so many people worshiping His Majesty across the Atlantic Ocean. "

"I'm curious why there are so many of my supporters in North America, even causing trouble for the Washington government.

They probably thought we were going to use force against North America by now.

Relying on these demonstrators to build momentum for the war of aggression in advance?

Hehe, the president in Washington should not be so mentally handicapped. "

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's why the government in Washington asked us whether to grant them political asylum.

After all, the rallies and parades of these people have aroused the dissatisfaction of many American citizens and disrupted the public order.

If they had not worshiped the Great Supreme Being of the Europa Empire, the police of the United States of America would have arrested them long ago. "

Levi replied without thinking: "The issue of public security is the problem of the United States of America itself.

It has nothing to do with the empire.

Regardless of whether their behavior is right or not, at least they are singing my name.

Send people to contact those non-governmental organizations, and change the bad jokes like 'children of the devil'. The empire is willing to provide them with political asylum.

Of course, it's just political asylum, and I won't waste a copper coin from the empire for a group of irrelevant fans. "

"As you order, Your Majesty.

Your will will be enforced. "

"Okay, let's talk about why this happens in North America.

There is a war between the living and the dead going on in the Far East. At this time, there are hordes of civil organizations in North America who worship me. They even plan to form a party to run for the president of the United States!

I don't mind if this happens, but I'd like to know why.

If some speculators think they can pluck the wool of the empire, I believe the President of the United States of America will be very willing to 'help' us kill some traitors. "

"Your Majesty is wise.

Among these non-governmental organizations, there are indeed some funds funded by speculators.

However, they were not trying to use the Empire's support to start a political battle in the United States of America.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the current Washington government has a very good attitude towards the Empire and is very disciplined. The Empire does not need another Washington government.

According to the report of the General Directorate of Military Intelligence, those opportunistic elements have begun to contact officials in the empire.

They hope that through this way of showing favor, they can transfer their family property to the empire to seek asylum.

Not the kind of asylum that was swallowed up by the Wallace Business Alliance, but as a normal businessman or business owner, self-reliant in the empire.

The reason is that they are afraid that there will be an enemy emerging from the Far East in North America.

They do not have any confidence in the military power of the United States of America.

Although the armament of the United States of America is higher than that of the Far Eastern Empire, its population base is far inferior to that of the Far Eastern Empire. Once the undead disaster breaks out in North America, many capitalists are pessimistic about the resistance of the United States of America government forces.

Currently, the total number of registered regular troops in the United States of America is only 3 to [-].

As for the National Guards and militias of the states whose numbers cannot be counted, the organization is too poor. It is okay to fight guerrillas. If they fight head-on, the Americans themselves do not have confidence.

Apparently, the Undead Corps are the best at countering guerrilla warfare, as they convert all living humans they see into their own kind, and don't need any logistical support.

No guerrilla can survive in the area where the undead army has ravaged. The undead army destroys all the resources needed by the living to survive, because they don't need those burdens themselves. "

Li Wei couldn't help being surprised after hearing this.

After the era of breech-loading guns, the most troublesome nationalism and guerrilla issues in the war of conquest and invasion are so vulnerable to the undead army!
Think about it, too, the undead corps, which doesn't need to eat, drink or even guns, doesn't need any logistics line itself!
The only way to defeat the undead corps is a direct decisive battle, which is why there have been many wars in the Far East and the population loss is extremely heavy.

"The industrial capacity of the empire is continuously expanding, and the demand for capital and industrial raw materials is very large.

If those overseas capitalists can help the empire, the empire can restrain the Wallace business alliance and leave them a way to make money in the empire through formal means. "

Li Wei also knows that all industrial and commercial businesses are monopolized by a group, which is not a good thing that is beneficial and harmless.

Even if Li Wei can eliminate the corruption of bureaucratic groups to the greatest extent!
The market economy also has its merits. This time, it can just take advantage of the international capital's fear of the living dead to make the industry and commerce of the Europa Empire more prosperous.
