By the time the ultimatums of the East and West Songs and the two Songs were presented to the House of Heads of State of the Republic of Great Week, the Fourth Central Plains War was actually inevitable.

Just a day earlier, the Senate of the Republic of Great Weeks had passed a new version of the Citizenship Law and the Military Service Act.

Now the great weekly republics of 80 million are equal citizens, the masters of the republic—and although only a small part of the masters have the right to vote, they are a great step forward from the inequality of more than 200 years before.

Although for such progress, the proletariat of the Great Week has to risk its life as a gun.But when were the citizens of the Great Week afraid of war?

The Heavenly Soldiers are invincible!

Two Songs in the area, can you hit it?

Therefore, for the young and middle-aged men among the working people in Tianjin who live unsatisfactory life, it is still what they yearn for as an honorable citizen to join the army.

Their fate may be changed because of this war.

As for the senate, they were even more rejoicing in the coming war.

Is there anything better than war for these patriarchs and bourgeois interests?

Cannons are on, gold is two!

Now there is overproduction everywhere, there is no demand everywhere, and on the streets there are young adults who can't find a job.The aristocracy and capitalists not only make little money, but they also have to worry about chaos all the time.

But as long as there is a war, these problems are not a problem!

Due to the continuous inflow of gold and silver from the New World over the past 200 years, the Great Zhou Republic is free of funds.And Big Monday Bank has been around for more than 200 years, gold and silver-based banknotes have been issued for more than 200 years, and the value is well maintained – not without inflation, but very stable compared to silver and gold.

Therefore, the government of the Great Zhou Republic also has a way to issue bonds for fiscal expansion.However, the government of this era has a misunderstanding about finance, thinking that borrowing money is to be paid back.

Therefore, they do not issue bonds for projects that obviously do not generate returns, so it is difficult to implement expansionary and stimulative fiscal policies.

The war to annex the East Song Dynasty was clearly an expense that could generate a lot of revenue—the 50 states of the Eastern Song were rich, and even if the current autonomous U.S. government were maintained, they could pay hundreds of millions of dollars a year in taxes to the central government.

With this expected income, the finances of the Republic of Great Weeks will find at least $1 billion in bonds!

A billion dollars of military spending out, that is how much demand!

Recruitment, purchase of ordnance, build ships, build roads... As long as the army of millions of people pulls up, how much domestic demand will it have to be driven?

Is it still afraid of unemployment of the proletariat and the bankruptcy of the bourgeoisie?

So as soon as the elders heard that the two Songs and Songs were now together, they gave an ultimatum to the Republic of the Great Week, which was really cheering for everyone!

You two are stupid enough to go to war!

Our Great Zhou Republic is so good to you, Hua Xia has been in favor of more than a hundred years, so he changed this?

East Song, West Song two unconscience goods are still left for?Just get rid of it!

After that, the Republic of the Great Week is under the rule!

“Declaration of War!Declare war!Declared war...”

As soon as Wu Yuanlong walked into the hall of the Senate, the voice of the paternalists shouted in his ear.

Wu Yuanlong strode onto the podium.The second-seat old man of the Senate had a rod hammer in his hand, and a gong was a stick.

“Oh, hey...”

With a loud sound, the old men immediately quieted down.

The second-past-in-command shouted, "Please speak to the Fuehrer."

The so-called second-seat senator is actually the speaker of the Senate, and the chief of the Senate is the head of the Futsal, Wu Yuanlong himself.

However, the executive government of the Great Zhou Republic is not "responsible", that is to say, only the head of state has the status of a patriarch, and the rest of the cabinet members are not patriarchs.

Wu Yuanlong nodded at the second-seat patriarch, and then leaned over the patriarchs in the hall of the council slightly owed themselves and said, "Gentlemen, the minister has just received the ultimatum submitted by the two ambassadors of the East and the West!"The ultimatum requires China to immediately open the export of bird droppings in the Americas, while abandoning the ten Sea King class battleships that are about to be completed.

Such a request is a serious affront to my Great-Week Republic!The ultimatum has therefore been rejected by the Fuehrer!"

After more than 200 years of national unity in China, the central dynasty system of the era of great unity no longer exists, replaced by the international system.

Although the three great powers of Huaxia each have a land population far exceeds the previous Song Dynasty.But no one would see himself as an unattainable heaven.

Therefore, a set of rules for the diplomacy of the nations was slowly established and perfected.

According to this set of rules, refusing ultimatums is tantamount to choosing war!

The usual practice is that three days after the ultimatum is rejected, the two countries will be in a state of full-scale hostility.

So while Wu Yuanlong refused the ultimatum, he had issued orders to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of the Navy after 36 hours of war.

Wu Yuanlong looked at the excited sensuese in the hall and said with a deep breath: "Gentlemen, the Republic does not like war, but it is not afraid of war, let alone fall without war!"

Even if the two Songs of the East and the West unite, the citizens of the 100 million republics will not yield!

As Head of State, I implore the patriarchs to authorize the executive government to declare the introduction of wartime decrees.From now on, the Republic will enter the wartime system until our enemies are completely defeated.

Long live the Republic!“The Republic wins!”

“Long live the Republic...”

The elders cheered as if they had won the victory, rather than voting to go to war.

Wu Yuanlong looked at the cheering elders, and in his heart it was unspeakable.

His Fuehrer always made people speak in the Senate, and always cheered more than cheers.The people did not comment on him very well, always saying that his head of state could not do it, which was the worst in history.

Today, everyone cheers like this scene can probably only be seen when it is in the campaign of the Khamura.

The news that the country entered the wartime state spread throughout Tianjin in the first place.The first good place of the Great Zhou Republic was suddenly caught in a frenzy.

The two countries, which have crossed the threshold of the industrial revolution, have shown little fear of the coming long war.

For both countries, though after the advent of the machine industry, suffered from an economic surplus.But productivity is really going up!The wealth created by this generation of large-day and working people in East Song is unimaginable to their predecessors.

The leap in productivity has also given the two peoples the illusion that they are omnipotent!Nature can defeat all enemies.

The first to realize that there will be a long and cruel war to deal with, but it has always been the "Huashan staff officers" of the Western Song who have always shown the human face of war.

When the Great Zhou Republic rejected the ultimatum and the news of the state of war reached the Privy Council in Huaqing (part of the Chang'an Province), the response was to the extreme atmosphere.

“There is going to be a war...”

“The world is quick to react this time!”

“Are they ready?”

“Well, they have water heaters, there’s the New World, the Jinshan Silver Mountain, the 180 million population, and the Republican system...”

“Yes, they are developing rapidly.”

Western Song has now seen a significant class solidification of the price, and it is difficult for the cold-gated samurai to climb high, and it is unlikely to enter such a gate as the Privy Council.

Therefore, the opportunities in the Privy Council are the elite children of various giants, and most of them have the experience of studying or working in the Republic of Great Weeks.

Everyone is a well-known.And when they were in the country, they could also know a lot about the East Song.So we all know that the big week and the East Song Dynasty for 20 years are really called a turning world!

These two countries are already rich and strong, and now it is another round of industrial revolution, which is really rich and powerful.

In contrast, the West Song can only be described as dead.Nothing has changed in more than 200 years... oh, there are changes, and it’s worse than it was 200 years ago!

200 years ago, the West Song society was at least relatively fair, and it could use its ability to target and obtain land from military meritorious service.

But now, the West Song Dynasty has become a country that has been monopolized by the rich military.Not to mention that there is no hope for the people in the lower and middle classes, even ordinary military households and gunmen have not come out.

And a small number of noble brothers born with golden keys, there is no hope.Not to give hope for your future, but to see no hope for the West Song country.

The country is poor, backward, conservative, ignorant, full of suffocating stagnation, society full of injustice, no future at all.

And there is no possibility of defeating the Great Zhou Republic?

The Republic of Great Weeks has 160 million citizens, and there are at least 10 million young and middle-aged men of suitable age!

And the large-weekly developed industry is enough to provide them with weapons and equipment, and the agriculture of the big week is enough to feed 10 million soldiers, and it can make them eat well.

But what about the West Song?

Although there are also 60 million people, most of them are feminians, and there is no longer a military mobilization.The maximum population of gunmen and military households (including luxury military dignitaries) within the scope of mobilization is at most five or six million.One of the top days suitable for soldiers is a million... a million and ten million?

This is suicide!

Moreover, the Western Song Dynasty did not have the ability to support 1 million troops to carry out overseas offensive operations, and even if it could be supported from the Eastern Song Dynasty, it would also protect hundreds of thousands of people.

It is impossible to win by this force!

As for the East Song ... their navy is not bad, the army may be able to defend.

But can the Eastern Song Navy defeat the Grand Admiralty?

I don’t seem to be sure, right?

As for defense... no one can destroy a country by defense.

So now no one can tell the Privy Councillors how to defeat the Great Zhou Republic.

They looked at each other and were a little disappointed.

This time, the opportunity is not enough... it seems to have to throw bricks and jade.

Zong Wan coughed and said, “There are 120 million people in the country on Monday, and recently the new Citizenship Law and the Military Service Law have been implemented to expand the recruitment target.”More than 10 million troops can be recruited!If we let Zhou Guo fully mobilize, I am afraid that there is a danger of national destruction in Song, so we should start strong first!”

Do you want to be strong first?

A group of people look at each other, and they do not think that the forces of the West Song can occupy any first hand.

Yue Xuan also said: "Jiangnan side will join hands with us ... can let Jiangnan's water division transport troops into Han water and go ashore in Xiangyang."Converge our army and then attack Henan.Strive to fight against the enemy in Henan, through several large arms in the field, to achieve decisive results, forcing Zhou Guo to seek peace.”

“How many troops can Dongsong immediately deploy?”Ask organically immediately.

“Two hundred thousand!”Yue preached, “They have tugboats, which can be transported against the flow of troops, and it takes not much time to transport 200,000 troops to Xiangyang.”

The tugboat is a steamboat!It is a ship that drives the turbine with a steam engine.

Large steam ships have not yet appeared, but small steamships already exist.The Yangtze River Fleet of the Eastern Song Dynasty was equipped a lot, not for combat, but for towing other ships.

With these steam tugs, the Yangtze River fleet in the East Song Dynasty can quickly dispatch against the water, and can also drag and drop the army troops, which is very convenient.

Another opportunity to whisper: "Dang Chujun can deploy 100,000 at any time, but can also mobilize 100,000 people from Guan... If the East Song can deploy 200,000, then 400,000 people can be used for fighting in Henan."

Immediately organically added: "Chou Guo's army in Henan has hundreds of thousands of people, mainly relying on the bastion to defend the border."But the bastion is obsolete and cannot hold us back for long.”

Go straight around it!We have no time to attack the bastion...” and humanely, “If we want to go to war, we will advance to Kaifeng as fast as possible!”It is expected that a battle will be held under the Kaifeng City.If we can win, we may be able to force the kingdom to make peace.”

The congeners of the Privy Council finally began to make plans... Although they did not want to fight, they were good professional soldiers after all, and they still knew how to fight.

“But what about logistics?”

“You can raise it on the spot!The logistics of 400,000 people cannot be transferred behind.”

"That's stealing... I'm afraid it will inspire Zhou people to die!"

"What if?"When they are ready, we will be unlucky.”

“That’s right now, just slow down!”

“Yes, it has to be fast!Our soldiers may be strong, but they are too few to fight a war of attrition."

“You can’t fight a war of attrition, or you’re going to lose!”

Underneath the tongue, there is also a way to fight.That is, while the big week did not complete the mobilization, with a small and elite force around the bastion line, raid the Henan hinterland, and strive to fight a few annihilation battles on the Henan battlefield, defeating the determination of the big week, forcing them to seek peace.This kind of play is a bit of a later blitzkrieg.
