Capítulo 564: Chapter 562
Chapter 562 World Powers
Naha City is located north of the Miyako Strait.
Naha was the political center of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and is now the seat of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. It is a maritime hub connecting three important areas: Manila, Honshu, and Hawaii.
So the economy and business of Naha City are pretty good. Of course, this is also compared to the entire Ryukyu Islands. Compared with cities in other countries in the region, Naha City is far behind.
There have been many ships in the harbor of Naha City recently, and they go south to the Miyako Strait every once in a while to rob East African ships.
Early in the morning, a Japanese officer lectured armed men dressed as fishermen.
"The Empire should not be taken lightly. The moment you board the boat, you must still remember that you are fighting for the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor."
Japan currently does not want to completely offend East Africa, but it cannot let go of its dignity and is unwilling to lose the opportunity to invade and occupy the Southern Ryukyu Islands, so it asked the navy to dress up as fishermen and intercept ships in East Africa.
These fanatical Japanese "fishermen" in front of them were excited and wanted to be loyal to the empire and the Japanese emperor immediately. Although the sea was rough and the ships in East Africa were larger, ordinary small fishing boats might be in danger of capsizing at any time if they collided with them. On the sea, but influenced by the idea of "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism", no one flinched.
These people shouted excitedly: "The Empire is on board! His Majesty the Emperor is on board!"
The naval officer was very satisfied with his educational achievements. He waved his hand and said: "Let's go!"
The sky is clear over the Pacific Ocean, the Miyako Strait is very broad, and a large group of fishing boats coming south from Naha City looks spectacular.
"Japanese armed fishing boats are here again!" The sharp-eyed East African garrison had spotted these Japanese fishing boats through telescopes.
Looking at the Japanese armed fishing boats showing off their power and arrogance in the waters of the Southern Ryukyu Islands, the East African defenders have no way to deal with them for the time being. The main reason is that they are short of boats.
However, the Japanese did not dare to approach the land. East Africa's coastal defense guns had been deployed long ago, so relying on land, the East African army was not afraid of these Japanese coming ashore. If these Japanese abandoned their ships and came ashore, that would be a good thing.
But now everyone knows that the Japanese just besiege but not attack. After all, the Southern Ryukyu Islands are so big and the food production is very low. Therefore, as long as the siege lasts for a long time, sooner or later the food and materials on the island will be exhausted.
While the troops stationed on the East African island were wary of the Japanese's small moves, the workers on the island were also discussing the recent changes in their lives.
As mentioned before, the Southern Ryukyu Islands are sparsely populated, so many of the laborers required for East African projects on the islands are hired directly from the Far East.
Now that Japan has surrounded the Southern Ryukyu Islands, these workers are also stranded on the islands to accompany the East African garrison.
"This group of devils come on time every day, so I grab my meal. I hope they will move faster today and delay my mood for eating."
The person who said this was not an East African soldier, but Liu Dazhuang, a laborer hired by East Africa from the Far East, who is now helping to build military camps on the Southern Ryukyu Islands.
"Dazhuang, what are you eating today?"
"How would I know? Aren't you very familiar with Captain Wang? He must know what to eat today."
"Haha, Brother Wang and I only made friends through our fellow villagers, but in fact they are far different! We are not from the same house."
"If you ask me what to eat, it's just the same things, sweet potatoes, soybeans, and seafood. Now I miss the vegetables and beef. The little devils have blocked the supply ship outside these days, and they are all supported by the island's previous stocks. , the food standard has dropped a lot, and it has begun to be limited." Rowan complained.
"Made, you little devils are really nothing. It was so comfortable to be a worker here, but ever since they appeared, the good days have been gone forever." "You don't need to worry too much about this. I heard Brother Wang say that Japan There is no country to be afraid of. East Africa is a Western country. The Japanese devils have engaged in a "Leave Asia and Join Europe". They just want to be Westerners, because Westerners are stronger than them, and East Africa is born Western, so its strength is naturally higher than that of Japan. ."
"Ah San, what kind of official did Captain Wang hold in East Africa? And how could he still be an official for foreigners? I heard that he was also a farmer among you before."
"I have asked about this before, what about East Africa? Although it is also a Western country, it is not considered a Western country."
"Hmm, so roundabout? Is this what East Africa is all about?"
"Haha, listen to me next. East Africa is indeed made up of Westerners. No, according to Brother Wang, it was founded by the Germans. The Germans are also part of the Westerners, but the Westerners are just a big concept. Not in one group."
"Dazhuang, aren't the Westerners the same group? I thought they all came from the same place!"
"If I explain it to you like this, you should understand. For example, in the Far East, there are our Far Eastern Empire, North Korea, Ryukyu, Japan and many other countries. The Germans also mean the same thing in the West. For example, Tsarist Russia is showing off its power in the Far East. , France and England, they are both Western countries, but they do not deal with each other."
"Then is this German as powerful as England and France?"
"Of course, Captain Wang told me that there are many countries founded by the Germans, but the three most famous ones are Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and finally our employer this time, the Kingdom of East Africa. These three countries are They are quite extraordinary existences, especially the first two, which are the top powers in the world. East Africa should not be bad either, but their strength is not as strong as the first two."
"Dazhuang, what are the top powers?"
"The top powers are the most powerful countries in the world, and they determine the destiny of the world."
"Then is our Far Eastern Empire a great power?"
"The Far Eastern Empire is certainly considered a major power in terms of size, but its military strength is too poor, so its name is of little use."
"The whole world listens to them? But we have never heard of Germany or the Austro-Hungarian Empire before. Are they so powerful?"
"That's because their influence is not in us, but in Europe. Europe knows that, right? Westerners come from that place. Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are strong in Europe, so they are also strong in the world, because Europe is a modern country. The most powerful continent."
"Then you said that the great powers determine the fate of the world?"
"Yes! I'm not denying it. Look, aren't England, France and Tsarist Russia all bullying us? Brother Wang said that our Far East Empire is much stronger than many countries, but its strength cannot be compared with the top powers, so Whether you are a great power or not mainly depends on your strength. When you are strong enough, you will naturally become a great power."
"What about East Africa?"
"East Africa should also count, right? Brother Wang has never told me, but I heard that East Africa's military strength can be ranked among the top ten in the world, but it is much worse in other aspects."
"It is enough if we have strong military strength. If we had this strength, how could we let the Westerners bully us?"
"Haha, this is what Brother Wang told me. East Africa has become a powerful country step by step by watching its military strength. However, we in the East have a word called militarization. Countries that only develop military strength are prone to problems, and top powers are in all aspects. The development is the best in the world, including economy, military strength, population and a lot of other conditions that come together to form a world power."
