365 The Rise of Sea Power
"Extra! Extra!
Experts from the Imperial Academy of Sciences have shown that Emperor Livi was the messenger sent by God to the human world.
It is the guide to bring hope for rebirth to the suffering Europa!”
…………
In the unimaginable religious science in the 21st century, it can be seen everywhere on the streets of Vienna at this time.
With the Propaganda Department of the Federal Empire of Europa, the shameless propaganda bombing offensive, the civilian class on the Europa mainland, which had not yet been popularized, has changed from resentment to doubting Li Wei's "God of God" and the identity of God's apostle. Finally, more and more people who believe in it have even appeared!
The Europa Federation Empire fully utilized the human herd mentality, and the truth that three people became tigers was fully reflected at this moment.
As long as public opinion spends money on newspapers and other media at any cost, people will gradually choose to believe it due to changes in the overall environment.
As long as the first batch of ‘believers’ were born, this idea could spread rapidly with the help of policies.
After all, in human society, wise people are always minorities, and foolish people occupy the majority.
Perhaps, the "God-making Plan" formulated by Li Wei's cabinet would be used as a joke after dinner in the 21st century of Li Wei's previous life, but in the 19th century Europa mainland, where compulsory education has not yet been popularized, it is moving steadily towards victory.
Levi does not need to care about whether the common people who accept the concept of God’s grace are false believers or true believers. As long as they support this view in public, it will be enough to guide more and more people to believe in this view.
This is like the civilized world in Li Wei's previous life. When the concept of environmental protection was first proposed, most people looked like they didn't care at all. However, as more and more people shouted environmental protection slogans and even organizations, even an aunt who had not graduated from elementary school understood the concept of environmental protection.
Perhaps these people will not sincerely support environmental protection, but if some media really ask them whether they support environmental protection, they will basically choose verbal support!
This is the guidance of public opinion brought by the overall environment!
Li Wei knew that it would undoubtedly be a dream to let everyone truly believe in themselves. All he needed to create was a big environment, so that he could make himself a person of God apostle a real thing that the public could understand.
It’s like Europeans will believe in God, but only they and the closest people know whether they truly believe in their hearts.
Of course, the propaganda and public opinion offensive of the Europa Federal Empire's God-making Plan is a milestone for the regression of civilization in the eyes of other countries led by Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland!
It’s all the time, and there are still people who deify themselves!
What is the difference between this and the ignorant indigenous countries in Central Asia and the Far East?
The operation of deification of the monarchy is naturally not original to Li Wei. The Persian Empire in Central Asia is a country where the theocracy and the regime are combined.
The Ottoman Empire, which had no surrender and decline, was also such a political system.
Even the Qing Empire in the Far East, wouldn’t the emperor be shameless and call himself the emperor?
The emperor means that the son of heaven?
Is this shameless to claim that I am like this?
Of course, this shameless view must come from a civilized society. In feudal society, as long as there is no brain trap, who dares to say that the emperor is shameless?
Even those ministers who had close contact with the emperor knew very well that the emperor was just a mortal who was exactly the same as them, and they did not dare to deny the concept of the emperor.
This is actually the divine empowerment of the king, which is not much different from Li Wei's plan to create a god.
The difference is that there are differences in expressions, and Li Wei can really brainwash others and has a solid foundation for "miracle" to make evidence.
Of course, when promoting Li Wei's ability, the Propaganda Department definitely cannot use brainwashing rhetoric. Brainwashing is a derogatory term!
Although Li Wei dared not describe the terms of political transformation in the 21st century, no one could understand it even if he took it...
But Li Wei can integrate the concepts of religion together. Don’t Europeans believe in God?
Very well, Levi regarded himself as a God's apostle.
After all, it’s a bit nonsense that God personally came to earth, and Li Wei has no other superpowers except brainwashing...
As for brainwashing ability, it is naturally the transformation of divine grace!
Those who contribute their own strength to God's cause of rule over the world and die for this will inevitably ascend to heaven after death and will be immortal...
In terms of religious guidance, if a contemporary pope is a technical leader, Li Wei naturally does not need to worry about the words of fooling people.
The launch of the God-making Plan was carried out simultaneously with the political reform of the Europa Federation Empire.
The Europa Federation Empire also confirmed the political system of the inner and outer vassals.
Although the inner states are in the name of state autonomy, they are actually used to fool the people. The local autonomous parliament that seems to have the most power has only the pitiful power of participating in politics and politics, let alone other departments?
Although the Europa civilians could not understand the division of power in the state regime of the Europa Federal Empire, those intellectuals and upper-class people still knew it very well.
The state is the direct local regime of the Europa Federal Empire!
It is essentially different from the traditional European feudal system. The central government of the Europa Federal Empire can be seen without planning any direct territory.
As for the foreign vassals, they were the two major vassal states, the Kingdom of Russia and the Ottoman Kingdom.
The foreign vassals are completely different from the inner states. Except for the limited military obligations (the vassal states needed to send troops to cooperate in the war) and the tribute that occupied half of the tax, the remaining powers could be independent.
It is equivalent to a semi-colonial country.
The only deterrent of the Europa Federal Empire to these vassal states is its military power. It looks unreliable and does not even have a garrison, but for the current Europa Federal Empire, it is completely enough.
As long as Alexander I and the Ottoman Sultan do not go crazy, they will never dare to provoke the suzerain authority of the Europa Federation Empire, even if there is the strong help of Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland...
The end of the Fifth War against France, in addition to creating the terrifying monster of the Europa Federation Empire, also brought the international influence of Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland to a historical low.
Not to mention the Russian Kingdom and the Ottoman Kingdom that were cheated, as long as the countries that knew the Fifth Anti-French War, they had great doubts about the military power of Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland.
The biggest loss was the newly formed Indian colonial rule of Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland. After the end of the fifth anti-French war, a large-scale rebellion suddenly occurred.
The rebel leaders were all Tumen nobles in India. After learning about the outcome of the fifth anti-French war, they thought the British people were just so powerful, and wanted to seek Indian independence and get rid of the vampire rule model in Britain.
The result was obvious. Shortly after the rebellion broke out, the Indian rebels were defeated by the British Redshirts...
Obviously, the Indian nobles only knew the result of the Fifth Anti-French War and did not know the specific process. They could not imagine the cruelty of the European battlefield and the popularity of guns and cannons.
So much so that most Indian nobles are still using smoothbore guns and cold weapons to deal with the red-shirted troops in the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland.
The ending is naturally repeated defeats.
In the field, the Redshirts even won textbook-like victory.
First, use the advantage of artillery to defeat the enemy array, then press the infantry to make a final blow to it, and the cavalry followed up to expand the results of the battle and massacre the defeated soldiers...
It is this simple tactic that defeated the Indian rebels who always had the advantage of their troops and once again realized the strength of Big Brother Britain...
It has to be said that the rebellion chosen by the nobles of the Indian states was too stupid, but they chose the period when the fifth anti-French war had just ended and the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland could withdraw their energy from the European battlefield.
In order to deal with the rebellion of the Indian subcontinent, the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland do not even need to expand its troops. As long as the defeated redshirts on the European battlefield are transported to the Indian subcontinent, they can teach those Indian national nobles how to be slaves.
The rebellion on the Indian subcontinent did not shake the dominance of Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland in India, but instead immersed the entire Central Asia in the terrifying war capabilities of white Europeans.
Among them, the most infected were not the Indians, but the Persian Empire in Central Asia.
The top leaders of the Persian Empire had to think about one question: the army of Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland, which were the defeated parties, were so terrible. How strong was the army of the Europa Federal Empire, which was the victory parties?
In addition to random thoughts, the disastrous defeat of the nomadic peoples in northern Central Asia also sounded the alarm for the Persian Empire.
The followers and serfs of Alexander I who were driven to Central Asia by Livi, the armed reorganization of the army regained the glory of "Ula" in this battlefield in Central Asia.
The nomadic cavalry, who was licking blood on the knife, faced the guns and cannons of the Russian Kingdom National Defense Forces established by the reorganized defeated generals, were mercilessly crushed into a corpse. For a month, the nomadic tribe in Central Asia accepted Alexander I's conquest and even enslavement!
Relying on the blood and wealth of the Central Asian nomads, the team led by Alexander I finally recovered some of the trauma of war.
However, this kind of recovery is only a symptom and not the root cause. After all, the Russian Kingdom has lost the industrial foundation of the European region. Even the weapons and ammunition they carry are still less than one shot, and it is very difficult to supply. They can only buy from the Europa Federation Empire with the plundered wealth!
Endure the high price difference in arms trade!
The most annoying thing is that the arms sold by the Europa Federation Empire to Alexander I were all captured inferior guns and cannons from the former Russian Empire, which was equivalent to Alexander I spending enough money to buy a new type of smoothbore gun to buy a batch of inferior Russian made...
The number of arms left by these Russian Empire is quite large, but due to quality issues, it is impossible to be installed in the Europa Federal Imperial Army, and even local militia regiments will not be used.
After all, the Central and Western European military factories of the Europa Federation Empire still need orders to maintain productivity.
Under the control of the Li Wei government, the military industry has never been reduced and has been directly controlled by the state.
The curse of state-owned enterprises' losses has also been fundamentally solved in administrative enlightenment loyalty.
At least those senior executives of state-owned enterprises will be hindered by their enlightened loyalty when embezzling and accepting bribes, and consider whether doing so will harm national interests.
To endanger national interests is naturally to endanger the interests of Emperor Li Wei!
This is not allowed by enlightened loyalty.
Because of this, the military industry of the Europa Federal Empire has always been controlled by the state, but it has not suffered large losses in peacetime.
In 1815, after two years of political reform and post-war restoration, the intra-state and foreign vassal systems of the Europa Federation Empire were fully improved.
In order to make the next strategic layout, Li Wei did not hesitate to invest 500 honor points in military training, adding a total of 500,000 guard infantrymen!
The regular army of the Europa Federation Empire, that is, the imperial guards adapted from the Roman Guards, had a population of nearly one million!
These are just front-line combatants. If we include the various chores and logistics personnel serving this army, the army organization has exceeded 2 million!
It is obvious that even if the European continent has been unified and is limited by its population, such a high proportion of the army is unscientific.
At least, it is deformed in the prospect of peace!
Even the front-line combat troops do not need to receive military pay!
After all, this is just the Imperial Guards. In addition to the regular army, the Europa Federation Empire also has a larger number of local militias and state defense forces.
The combat effectiveness standards of militia and state defense forces are the same, except that those who protect townships are called militias, and those who protect large cities in states are called defense forces.
The names are different, but the training level and weapon equipment are the same. At most, the defense forces can have more artillery pieces.
Whether it is the state defense force or the militia regiment, they are actually quasi-military troops, similar to the police system.
Similar to the armed policeman in Li Wei's previous life.
The main responsibilities are to suppress bandits and assist police in violent law enforcement and suppress revolutionary rioters.
In 1815, in addition to the reform and improvement of the political system, the most important thing was that the steam ironclad ships equipped by the navy had completed the training.
The Europa Federation Empire used the resources of the entire Europa continent to integrate, and later, stepped on the shoulders of the naval technological reform of the steam ironclad ships, and successfully threatened the global hegemony of Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland on the issue of maritime power!
When the Europa Federation Empire installed a total of five steam ironclad ships and completed the naval training and preparation, the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland, which had started one step slower, had just completed the research and development of the first steam ironclad ship!
Chapter completed!
