Chapter 28 Fanning the flames(1/2)
Stabilize the Tyman Empire?
This is almost impossible!
The meeting continued until Colin came back.
The most critical question is actually whether it can stabilize the Tyrannosaurus Empire.
However, no one, including Herbert, had hope for it, and didn't even have a trace of fantasy!
It’s not that the Thuman authorities are unwilling to endure for a period of time to win the war, but what Norman mentioned is that 5 years are too long.
During the previous secret contacts, the Envoy of Thaman has always emphasized that as long as the Liangxia Empire sends troops to intervene in Iraq, the Envoy of Thaman Empire will not sit idly by and will definitely take action when necessary to ensure that the core interests in the Posa Bay area will not be damaged.
After that, the information provided by the CIA proved that what the envoy said was true.
The key is not Iraq's annexation of Kuwait, but the internal conflicts between the Taurus Empire and the Western Land Group are so serious that they are uncontrollable.
However, in the first half of this year, the retail prices of various daily necessities, including food, in the Troman Empire, increased by 35%, and in other countries of the Western Continental Group, the increase in food prices exceeded 20%. The social problems caused by this have seriously threatened the internal stability of the Western Continental Group.
As for the reason, in addition to the drought that has affected the entire northern hemisphere since last year, it is also related to the operation of the Liangxia Empire.
The Western Land Group, led by the Tauman Empire, has always been a pure importer of food, and food prices have been greatly affected by the international market.
Of course, it also has a lot to do with economic imbalance.
In order to maintain military strength, the member states of the Continental Group have always focused on heavy industry, and have significantly insufficient investment in the light industry that concerns people's lives.
This caused not only the internal economic crisis, but also posed a serious threat to the unity and stability of the Western Mainland Group.
This problem is most obvious in the Democratic Republic of Luosha.
Also in the first half of the year, about 100,000 citizens of the Luosha Democratic Republic applied to go to East Mosa, controlled by Liang Xia's army for reasons such as visiting relatives and work. The Luosha Democratic Republic citizens who had not returned for the deadline reached a record 5.5 million at the end of June.
In addition, the Federal Republic of Luosha has set up a special department to provide training for immigrants to integrate immigrants into local society through work.
The relevant publicity is like the monsoon from the south, which has long been spread throughout the Democratic Republic of Luosha.
In order to get job opportunities and to live a better life, thousands of citizens of Xiluosha flocked to Mosa City and tried their best to go to Mosa East.
Affected by this, the Democratic Republic of Luosha was forced to announce the temporary closure of border ports last month.
After this policy was introduced, it was immediately strongly opposed by the people.
The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that there is a problem with the economy of Xilu Group or a serious problem.
In the Democratic Republic of Luosha, calls for reunification have emerged, and more and more citizens support the reunification with the Federal Republic of Luosha.
The key is that the Federal Republic of Luosha also has the intention to reunify.
The difference is that the Federal Republic of Luosha hopes to achieve unity with the support of the Liangxia Empire by annexing the Democratic Republic of Luosha.
To a large extent, the "immigration" from Luosha Democratic Republic was adopted by the Federal Republic of Luosha with the permission of Liangxia Empire, and in this way, the internal contradiction between Luosha Democratic Republic and the Western Land Group was aggravated.
Last year, the Democratic Republic of Luosha arrested hundreds of citizens of the Federal Republic of Luosha on charges of espionage and deported them.
Unfortunately, these measures are actually counterproductive.
No matter how strict the policy is, it cannot change a fact: Xi Luosha and Dong Luosha are originally the same country, and Luosha people with two changes in the border are the same nation.
These problems are all related to development at the root.
The Federal Republic of Luosha, which originally had worse conditions, surpassed the Democratic Republic of Luosha in all aspects after more than 40 years of development.
According to statistics from unofficial institutions, the population of the Federal Republic of Luosha has exceeded 80 million, with a GDP of more than 1 trillion gold, ranking seventh in the world. In addition, an industrial system with oil extraction and chemical industry, non-ferrous metal processing and mechanical manufacturing as the core has been established.
Among the Oriental Group, Luosha Federal Republic ranks fourth in its comprehensive national strength, second only to the Liangxia Empire, the Nayi Empire and the Gaoji Kingdom.
In terms of industrialization, the Federal Republic of Luosha is no worse than the Torman Empire.
The worst thing is that Luosha Democratic Republic is on a downward tide!
To date, the population of the Democratic Republic of Luosha is only 80 million, and the official GDP is less than 2 trillion gold marks, which is about 700 billion gold. Although it has the ability to produce tanks and fighter jets and has a supporting industrial system, the types of industries are seriously insufficient, and it needs to rely on the Taman Empire in many key areas or imports from other member states of the Western Land Group.
In fact, this is also the most dissatisfied thing about the people of Luosha Democratic Republic.
After decades of development, the Democratic Republic of Luosha is actually turning around. Not only has it been caught up by the Federal Republic of Luosha, but it has even the economic lifeline in the hands of the Tiaoman Empire.
In addition, the quality of life of the people is getting worse and worse.
If this trend continues, Xilu Group will definitely fall apart.
Perhaps, the Tsuman Empire would not be overwhelmed by this storm, but after losing the Western Land Group, the Tsuman Empire would lose its qualification to compete for hegemony.
With only one's own strength, the Tiaoman Empire is at most a second-rate power.
After the Western Continental Group is over, the great cause of unifying the Western Continent and Western civilization will definitely come to an abrupt end. Then many second-rate and third-rate countries on the Western Continent will become tools in the hands of super hegemony. As the number one power in the Western Continent, the Great Empire, which is the number one power in the Western Continent, will definitely not be able to survive alone.
This is by no means exaggeration!
If the Western Continental Group collapses, then several countries in the west of the Western Continent, namely the Kingdom of Bran, Rock, Sban and Raleigh, will turn to the Republic of Newland, and at least seek to form an alliance with the Republic of Newland. Those countries in the east will become vassals of the Liangxia Empire.
At that time, where will the Great Empire sandwiched in the middle go?
If you want to say, as long as war breaks out in the Western Continent again, the first unlucky one will definitely be the Troman Empire.
As long as the war spreads, the most heavy loss will inevitably be the Tyman Empire.
To put it bluntly, if the Western Continent is eventually controlled by other super hegemony, the Tauman Empire is likely to be dismembered before the end of the war.
The reason is also very simple. Any super hegemony capable of controlling the Western Continent will not leave behind a powerful local country like the Tyrannosaurus Empire.
If the Tyman Empire cannot be destroyed, the Tyman Empire can only be separated like the Luosha Federation.
It can be seen that the Tauman Empire is closely related to the Western Land Group.
In Herbert's words, even if you know that the war is going to begin now, you will definitely not be able to defeat the Liangxia Empire, and the Thuman authorities will not sit still and wait for death, because after the Western Land Group is over, not only will the Thuman Empire fall down, but you will not even have a chance to start a war.
With this in mind, there is no way to prevent the outbreak of the Third Global War.
After five years, it was nothing more than a foolish dream.
Herbert was unwilling to accept this conclusion, but he had to accept it.
Herbert also thought about stabilizing the Tsuman Empire by transfusion of blood to the Western Land Group, but in the end he gave up this slightly naive idea.
First of all, Congress will certainly not approve any foreign aid package that does not seek returns.
Secondly, the Thuman authorities may not be willing to accept the assistance of the Republic of Newland. After all, when they receive assistance, they need to pay a reciprocal price. After the influence of the Newland Republic infiltrated, the member states of the Western Continental Group may not obey the orders of the Thuman Empire.
The Thuman Empire has always refused to compromise, which means it wants to maintain the independence of the Western Land Group, which is to be precisely the hegemony in the Western Land Group.
Finally, the Liangxia Empire would never pretend to be unseen.
Judging from the series of strategies implemented by the Liangxia Empire, the bottom line is to keep the Republic of Newland from the world island, and the Republic of Newland and the Empire are absolutely not allowed to formally form an alliance with the Great Man Empire.
The reason is also very simple. The two super hegemony alliances will immediately break the strategic balance.
Even if the total national strength of the two super hegemonics is equal to that of the Liangxia Empire and does not have an advantage, it can pose a threat to the Liangxia Empire in both directions.
This means that the Liangxia Empire had to fight on two fronts from the very beginning!
No matter how powerful the empire is, it cannot withstand the trouble of fighting on both sides.
Unless he is willing to hand over the world's number one overlord title, the Liangxia Empire will inevitably take action at this time.
Judging from the strategic situation, the final result of the war is also likely to be the dismemberment of the Western Land Group.
In short, to the present, when the strategic potential of the Western Land Group led by the Tauman Empire has been completely drained and cannot be maintained, a global war is inevitable.
If the Republic of Newland did not participate in the battle at the first time, there would be almost no chance of winning.
The key is that the gap in military strength is too big.
Take the crucial navy as an example. The Republic of Newland has only 4 aircraft carriers in total, and 3 are medium-sized aircraft carriers, carrying vertical take-off and landing fighters and helicopters. The main task is to cover the transport fleet, which is similar to the large-scale construction of escort aircraft carriers during the Second World War. The other one is only a 60,000-ton large aircraft carrier. Although it is equipped with catapults, its overall combat effectiveness is at most comparable to the "Chen Bingxun" class of the Liangxia Empire, and cannot be compared with the "Xue Yuanzheng" class, that is, the 100,000-ton super aircraft carrier.
Of course, the naval gap has been narrowing.
In the Newland shipyard, there are now three large aircraft carriers under construction. The new generation of super aircraft carriers have been designed. The first two are also expected to start construction this year, and three more are built next year, striving to expand large aircraft carriers and super aircraft carriers to 9 within three years.
What to say is this the minimum requirement to challenge Liang Xia’s Navy.
According to the information provided by the CIA, if the Liangxia Empire expands and accelerates the construction of aircraft carriers, it is expected to increase the number of aircraft carriers to 15 within three years, and deploy 9 of them in the East Ocean, so as to gain a relative advantage in the expanded Newland Navy.
However, there is no consideration for more than a dozen large aircraft carriers sealed by Liang Xia Navy!
If the war breaks out and the Liang Xia Navy launches sealed aircraft carriers, it will double the number of aircraft carriers in one breath and expand the aircraft carriers deployed in the East Ocean to more than 20.
This quantity has the advantage of suppression!
It can be seen that even after three years, the situation of the Newland Navy may not have improved much. At most, it can be said that it has obtained the capital to compete with Liang Xia Navy.
So, is there any way to get more time for the Republic of Newland?
To put it another way, there is a way to make the Republic of Newland join the war a few years later, so that there is more time to build a navy.
Obviously, this is also the issue Herbert is most concerned about.
In the past few months, after secretly contacting the Thuman authorities, Herbert had held more than a dozen meetings on this issue.
Unfortunately, no feasible solutions have been drawn until now.
First of all, after the war breaks out, stay out of the matter as much as possible, and cannot participate in the war as soon as possible, and must not give any reason to declare war in the Liangxia Empire.
Secondly, we must do our best to support the Tauman Empire and the Western Land Group and consume the war strength of the Liangxia Empire.
To be continued...
