Chapter 577 Finale
After the end of the First Han-American War, a new confrontation pattern was formed in the world. From the end of 1899 to August 1900, during the hot war between the two countries, the United States lost more than 8 tons of naval ships and 22 soldiers in the army. More than half of the main force of the navy was lost, and the standing army suffered a devastating blow.
After seeing the power of Han's new weapons such as submarines and aircraft, the US government was forced to shrink its forces back to North America, and at the same time expand its military and increase investment in the research and development of new weapons. By 1904, the total tonnage of the US Navy had recovered to 36 tons, and the standing strength of the Army had increased to 60.
In February 1904, the United States planned the independence of Panama and immediately signed an agreement with the independent Panamanian government, obtaining the right to build the canal and the right to operate it for 2 years.
In June 1904, the Netherlands and the Han Chinese signed an Agreement of Understanding, formally recognizing Lan Fang's occupation and sovereignty claims over South Borneo (occupied during the First Han-American War).
Since then, the Dutch colonial forces were completely expelled from Borneo, and the territory of Lan Fang expanded to 54 square kilometers.
In August 1904, the ocean-going immigration transport program, which had been interrupted for four years due to the blockade, was restarted. However, compared with the period before 8, Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries still imposed many restrictions on the intermediate stops of Chinese immigrant ships. Affected by this, the Chinese ocean-going fleet reduced the number of intermediate stops and gradually shifted its immigration focus to the South Pacific route.
In October 1904, due to the exclusion and blockade of Western countries, the economic market share of Han Kingdom in the Far East mainland dropped by more than 10%. The industrial development in Han Kingdom, Songkhla and Lan Fang suffered a serious blow. In order to maintain the normal operation of industrial development, the central government of Han Kingdom adjusted the economic development model. The government formulated development plans and shifted the focus of industrial development to basic areas such as railways, canals, roads, public transportation based on minerals, and raw material mining. At the same time, it increased investment in research and development in the fields of electricity, machinery, chemicals, and medicine.
In 1906, the scale of the Han government's domestic debt reached 12 billion Han yuan, and the fiscal deficit expenditure also exceeded 3 million Han yuan.
In August 1907, Britain, France and Russia signed a military mutual assistance agreement, and the Allied Powers were formally established. The signing of the military mutual assistance agreement also marked the transition of the two major groups headed by Britain and Germany from the cold war of economic and political confrontation to a hot war of military confrontation.
Affected by the intensified conflicts and confrontation between the two major groups, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy successively extended olive branches to the Han State and completely lifted restrictions on Han immigration. At the same time, they frequently sent high-level officials and generals to South America to discuss with the Han State the restoration of cooperation in the economic, industrial, military and political fields.
In October 1907, at the request of the government and the military, William II banned several newspapers that spread the Yellow Peril theory and smeared the Han Dynasty.
In November, Britain and France also completely lifted the blockade on Han State in order to prevent it from joining the Allied Powers.
In December, after seven years, the Han State had basically completed the construction of internal infrastructure, the cleanup of newly occupied areas, and the implementation of assimilation policies.
By the end of 1907, the total mileage of mainland railways had increased to 16 kilometers, and the total population had increased to 5700 million (including 400 million in the newly occupied areas), among which the proportion of Chinese and naturalized Chinese remained at a high level of over 90%.
Of the total population of about 1100 in the newly occupied areas of Brazil, Chile and Bolivia, about 300 million people died due to war, disease, hunger and other reasons. About 150 million people migrated to other overseas areas because they were dissatisfied with the Han assimilation policy. About 250 million blacks and mixed-race blacks were forcibly relocated to the overseas province of Congo after two years of forced labor. In the end, the number of people in the three countries who met the assimilation standards was only about 400 million.
In order to complete the clearing and relocation plan of the newly occupied areas, the Han State mobilized a total of about 35 people, including field armies, garrison troops, and militia, to participate in military operations. Over a period of seven years, about 7 military personnel died directly in the counterinsurgency operations, while the number of military personnel who died due to going deep into the primitive rainforest, contracting diseases, being attacked by poisonous insects, snakes, and pythons exceeded 4000, which was much higher than the proportion of direct deaths in battle.
Entering the century, nationalism rose. Although the Han Kingdom paid the price of more than deaths in the clearing of the occupied areas, it achieved the expected goals and successfully eliminated or subdued the local people who participated in the rebellion and did not meet the assimilation standards, thus resolving the hidden dangers of social division. From the long-term perspective of the country, it was more beneficial than harmful.
More than 200 million blacks and mixed-race blacks were forcibly relocated from mainland South America to the overseas province of Congo, which inevitably brought certain shocks and disruptions to the local order.
Some black Americans and mixed-race blacks were dissatisfied with the fact that they still had to perform forced labor and frequently rioted. Another part obeyed the arrangements and, under the organization of colonial officials and the army, continued to move deeper into the interior in search of land to survive. They occupied the land and property that originally belonged to the indigenous people, causing a large-scale escape and migration of the indigenous blacks. From 1904 to the beginning of 1908, the total number of blacks who migrated from the former overseas province of Congo to other areas reached more than 200 million. They migrated in different directions to French Congo, Angola, Rwanda, Zambia and other places.
The large-scale migration of black natives destroyed the original order and public security of the surrounding colonies. In order to restore stability, the colonies organized colonial armies and mobilized indigenous tribes to resist the impact of migrating blacks. On the other hand, they protested to the Congo Overseas Province of the Han Kingdom and demanded that the Congo Overseas Province stop exporting indigenous peoples.
The two sides continued to argue over the issue of the migration of indigenous blacks until May 1908, when the migration of American blacks and mixed-race blacks ended and the escape of indigenous peoples from the Congo Overseas Province gradually ceased. The Congo Overseas Province then signed a memorandum of understanding with the surrounding colonies, promising to strengthen control and ensure that the migration of indigenous blacks would not occur on a large scale again.
At the end of 1908, the Overseas Province of Congo submitted an annual report to the local government. The report summarized data and development analysis in various fields of Congo. In terms of population, the Overseas Province of Congo estimated the proportion and approximate population size of local ethnic groups through assessments of population migration and indigenous numbers.
After continuous immigration and emigration, the Chinese population has remained in the range of about 200 million. The total number of black Americans, black mixed races, and other races in the Americas who resist assimilation is about 400 million (some people died of disease, forced labor, etc. after arriving in Congo.)
The number of black indigenous peoples decreased to 700 million.
The total population of the Congo Overseas Province exceeds 1300 million, which was considered densely populated in Africa in the early th century. However, because the Han Kingdom only had one African colony, the Congo Overseas Province, and the African continent was the closest to South America, the Han Kingdom central government had no choice but to do so, even if the continued migration of blacks to the Congo Overseas Province would disrupt local order and stability.
In February 1909, the aviation force under the Army was upgraded to an independent Air Force, with the same rank as the Army and Navy.
In June 1909, Han successfully developed the first generation of tanks with a load capacity of 6 tons and a speed of kilometers per hour.
In August 1909, the Han Dynasty's Hailang-class submarine was put into service, with a surface cruising range of 8 nautical miles.
In May 1914, the total population of the Han Kingdom reached 5 million, the number of field troops expanded to 7800 million, the navy, including the Marines, expanded to 150, and the air force, including ground crew and security personnel, expanded to 18.
The population of Songkhla has grown to 1000 million, the total population of Lanfang is 1100 million, and the number of Chinese in Congo remains at 200 million.
In June 1914, the Panama Canal was opened to navigation, and the . Atlantic Fleet passed through the canal and moved to the west coast.
In July 1914, World War I broke out, and countries such as Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands and Turkey were all involved in the war.
On August 1914, 8, the United States declared war on the Han Dynasty again, using the excuse that the armistice agreement had expired. The next day, the Han Dynasty declared war on the United States.
On August 8, . troops forcibly landed in Colombia.
On August 8, American troops were continuously transported to the South American continent via warships and fleets.
On September 9, influenced by the US military presence, Peru, Ecuador and Venezuela successively declared war on the Han State.
On September 9, the Colombian government declared armed neutrality and was forced to allow US troops to pass through Colombia.
September 9. Han declares war on Venezuela, Peru, and Ecuador.
On October 10, the Han Dynasty completed the mobilization of military expansion. The total strength of the Army Field Army was expanded to 1 million, and the garrison army was expanded to 300 million.
On October 10, the Han Dynasty's domestic army was organized into 7 army groups and 16 fronts, which were responsible for the defense of the western Andes, the central and southern parts of the mainland, and the northern region, as well as offensive operations in the direction of Peru and Venezuela.
On November 11, the number of US troops deployed in South American countries reached 20. On November 30, a US troop of about 11 people, under the cover of superior warships, attempted to land in the former Recife area of Brazil, but was attacked by the garrison. On December 25, the landing US troops left behind more than 2 bodies and evacuated in a panic.
On December 12, 17 . troops, with the cooperation of 2 Peruvian defenders, launched a fierce attack on the garrison troops stationed in the border area. The battle lasted for a month. Due to heavy casualties and slow progress, in mid-January 5, the . top brass took the initiative to call off the offensive plan.
In April 1915, after half a year of exploratory fighting, the US military suffered 4 casualties, while the Han side suffered 6 casualties.
On June 1915, 6, the Han Empire mobilized two armies, more than 3 tanks, more than 2 aircraft, and a total of about 100 people to launch a counterattack against the US and Peruvian troops stationed on the border from the Atacama Desert.
On June 6, the counterattack troops broke through four lines of defense in succession and entered the enemy's deep area.
On June 6, the Peruvian and American joint forces stationed on the border, totaling about 14 people, were cut off and surrounded, and lost contact with the rear.
On June 6, the counterattack troops advanced to the border between Tacna Province and Moquegua Province. Most of the 26 American troops and 15 Peruvian troops gathered in Tacna Province were annihilated. The small number of troops that were divided and surrounded in various isolated strongholds and defense lines also lost the possibility of breaking out. The only option waiting for them was surrender.
On September 9, the Han troops continued to advance, successively occupying Arequipa, Puno, Cusco, Ayacucho, Ica, Huancavelica and other provinces, and their front line was approaching the Peruvian capital of Lima.
In order to reverse the decline and rebuild the defense line, the US government carried out a second military mobilization, expanding the total strength of the army to 370 million and the total strength of the navy, including the Marine Corps, to 21.
On October 10, the number of US troops in South American countries surged to 27, and the number of US troops in Peru recovered to 90.
After a year of fighting, the total number of American casualties and prisoners exceeded 20, while the total number of casualties on the Han side was about 6, less than one-third of the US casualties.
On October 10, the . Atlantic Fleet and Pacific Fleet joined forces in the waters of Peru, preparing to cover the army's landing from behind the Han garrison, on the one hand to ease the defensive pressure on Peru, on the other hand to force the Han navy to fight a decisive battle.
At noon that day, more than 3 . troops, under the cover of naval guns, launched an attack on the Han garrison stationed in the Antofagasta area. By November 11, the attacking . troops had successively captured several strongholds and defense lines in the northwest and central parts of the coast, and the battle line advanced about 2 kilometers into the depths of the area.
On November 11, more than 5 transferred aircraft, carrying torpedoes, arrived in the western Andes and joined the main fleet composed of the Pacific Fleet, the Atlantic Fleet, and the South China Sea Fleet.
At 11 . on November 7, the Chinese mixed fleet and the US main fleet engaged in a battle in the waters off Antofagasta.
At 9:30 ., more than 300 Han Chinese planes painted with dragon flag patterns came in, covering the sky and launching an attack on the . fleet.
It is a well-known fact that the Han Dynasty has an independent air force with a large scale and can assist the army in attacking ground targets. However, it is the first time that the Americans have encountered an air force carrying torpedoes and attacking warships over long distances.
The . fleet was unable to withstand the sudden and sharp attack of the aircraft formation. By 11 ., the number of warships of various types directly lost to the flight formation exceeded 10. In addition, due to the attack of the aircraft, the formation was in chaos and the battle line was broken, which was taken advantage of by the Han Navy Fleet to attack. In just two hours of fighting, the . fleet paid a heavy price with a total of more than 20 warships sunk and two main battleships severely damaged.
At 2 ., the Han flying fleet stopped pursuing because it ran out of fuel, and the naval battle gradually came to an end.
By 5 ., the . fleet had paid the price of sinking several battleships before it was able to escape the encirclement and pursuit of the Han fleet and return to the port of Lima. On November 11, the Han fleet and its aircraft formation took advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy, crossed the southern area of Lima, sailed to the port of Lima, blocked the escape route of the remaining . fleet, and continued to fiercely attack the warships anchored in the port.
On November 11, ground forces broke through the defense lines deployed by the US and Peruvian forces and advanced to the suburbs of Lima. The US fleet docked in the port was about to face a joint attack from both the shore and the sea, and the situation was deteriorating.
That night, the . fleet ignored the Peruvian side's attempts to retain it and launched a dispersed breakout. The fighting lasted all night. By the early morning of the next day, except for three cruisers, two armored cruisers, and two battleships that managed to break through the blockade and return to the Colombian coast, the remaining more than 3 ships of various types were either sunk or intercepted in the port, completely losing the possibility of breaking out.
On November 11, the Han army occupied Lima, the capital of Peru. Except for 20 US troops led by Lieutenant General Pershing who fled to Colombia, the remaining 6 US troops and more than 24 Peruvian troops were successively eliminated or captured by the Han army within a month.
The main fleet of the United States was almost wiped out. There was no longer any naval force restraining South America, the Atlantic, Pacific, and Caribbean regions. The Han Navy completely gained control of the sea in the Americas.
On December 12, 2 army troops landed in Hawaii under the cover of the navy. On December 2, more than 12 US troops that occupied Hawaii laid down their arms and surrendered to the Han Kingdom under the command of Brigadier General William.
On December 12, the Queen of Hawaii announced her joining the Han Empire and becoming an autonomous kingdom under the rule of the Han Empire.
In February 1916, the Han army entered Ecuador and the Ecuadorian president fled to Colombia.
In June 1916, a war broke out again between more than 6 Han army and 60 . army in Bogota, the capital of Colombia. The war lasted for a month. Finally, under the three-dimensional warfare attack of Han army on the ground and in the air, the . Army was defeated and retreated. By early August, the . Army retreated to Central America. The total number of . soldiers who successfully withdrew was less than 70.
By the end of 1916, the Chinese Army had completely occupied Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela, and confronted the US Army across the Panama Canal.
In March 1917, the Han Kingdom successively occupied Puerto Rico, Guam, Wake Island, Palawan Island, Cuba Island and other islands. The tentacles of the United States reaching out to overseas areas were all cut off by the Han Kingdom.
In June 1917, the Battle of Panama broke out. Under unfavorable conditions where the navy, air force and army were all at a disadvantage, more than 6 US troops stationed there were completely surrounded and annihilated by the Han State. The Han State's frontline troops advanced to the border between Panama and Costa Rica.
In August 1917, the Han fleet bombarded the west coast of the United States, and in September, 8 army troops landed on the west coast of the United States.
In October, the US government took the initiative to seek peace.
In December, the two countries signed an armistice agreement, and the United States transferred the sovereignty of Cuba, Guam, Puerto Rico, Palawan, Wake Island and other areas to the Han Kingdom.
Recognize Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador and other regions as the Han sphere of influence.
Agree to transfer the ownership of the Panama Canal to the Han Kingdom unconditionally.
After the armistice was signed, the Han army withdrew from American territory.
In accordance with the agreement, the United States will withdraw more than 10 troops surrounded on the island of Cuba back to its homeland, and the two countries will use the border between Panama and Costa Rica as the demarcation line of influence.
At the end of the Second Han-American War, the Han Kingdom acquired all of South American territories except Guyana, and the pattern of one country monopolizing one state was basically formed.
When the news that the Second Han-American War ended and Han had monopolized South America spread to other parts of the world, the two major groups, the Allied Powers and the Entente, which were fighting each other for their lives, were shocked.
Germany's strength has been enhanced compared with the same period in history. The Second American War broke out at the same time as World War I. Without the input of funds and materials from the United States, even if the Allied Powers tried their best to plunder and make up from other regions, they could not replace the role of the United States.
Because of the addition of new weapons such as airplanes and tanks, the areas of weaponry, military strategy, etc., under the influence of the Han Dynasty, also exceeded the same period in history by five to ten years. The European war became more brutal, and the situation of Britain, France and Russia became more difficult.
Russia was the first to collapse. On November 1916, 11, an internal revolution broke out in Russia, and on November 12, Nicholas II abdicated.
In April 1917, the Russian Provisional Government that continued to insist on the war was overthrown. The new government signed an armistice agreement with Germany, Austria-Hungary and other countries, unilaterally withdrawing from the war.
In early July 1917, after eliminating the threat from Russia in the east, Germany and Austria-Hungary mobilized troops and launched a fierce attack on the Italian army in the Kobarid region of Slovenia. By the end of July, the German-Austrian coalition won the battle, causing a total of about 7 casualties to the Italian defenders, while the casualties of the two countries were only more than 7.
On July 7, news of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Kobarid reached the country, and the Italians were in panic. On July 27, serious anti-war demonstrations broke out in Italy, with 7 workers taking to the streets to demand an end to the war.
On August 8, fearing that he would follow the Russian royal family's path, the King of Italy publicly declared that he was willing to negotiate with the Allies to end the war.
On August 8, under pressure from the royal family and the people, the Italian military was forced to agree to the ceasefire request.
On August 8, after urgent consultations, the Kingdom of Italy signed an armistice agreement with the Allied countries. Italy became the second country to unilaterally withdraw from the war after Russia.
Russia and Italy withdrew from the war one after another, leaving only two major powers, Britain and France, to support the Allied Powers. At the same time, the full-scale war between China and the United States in the Americas, Africa, Asia and other fields had a great impact on the overseas transportation and supply of the Allied Powers, and there was a shortage of material supplies in Britain and France.
On October 10, a serious anti-war movement broke out among soldiers on the French front, with more than 12 soldiers refusing to launch an attack on the opposite position.
On October 10, soldiers' anti-war activities intensified, and social order in France was seriously damaged.
In December, Han and the United States signed an armistice agreement, and the war in the Americas came to a halt. Faced with the drastic changes in the situation in America, both the Allied Powers and the Central Powers were determined to end the war and adjust their respective development strategies. However, the war lasted for more than three years, and the two major groups paid too many sacrifices and losses. Unless one side had absolute military advantage like in the Second Han-American War, neither side was willing to compromise or give in.
In order to increase the chances of victory and completely defeat the other side, both the Allied Powers and the Central Powers stepped up their efforts to win over the Han State. Even if they were not sure of getting the Han State to join their camp, they could not push the Han State to the opposite side.
On January 1918, 1, after one month of consultation and coordination, Han and the Allied Powers reached an agreement:
1 The Allied Powers agreed to designate Angola, Mozambique and French Congo as immigration destinations, and to unconditionally accept people who had migrated from Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and other places.
2 Britain, France and the Netherlands transferred the Guyana region to the Han Kingdom for a total price of 1200 million Han yuan.
The 3 Allied Powers recognized that China had special rights and interests in Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador and other regions, recognized China's sovereignty over Puerto Rico, Guam, Palawan, Wake Island and other islands, and recognized Cuba as a resettlement site for indigenous peoples of the Americas.
4. The Han Kingdom joined the Allied Powers and declared war on Germany. No later than June 1918, it dispatched 6 troops to the European continent to participate in the war against Germany. After the war, Germany's colonies in Africa were divided and occupied by the Han Kingdom.
On January 1918, 1, in accordance with the agreement, the Han Kingdom officially declared war on Germany.
On March 3, the first batch of 10 army troops arrived in France.
On May 5, the total number of Han troops stationed in France reached 16.
On May 5, the troops stationed in France were organized into an expeditionary corps, which was composed of three army groups.
On May 5, the expeditionary corps officially launched an attack on the German army in the Cambrai area of France.
On May 5, the expeditionary force, led by a tank brigade and an army group as the spearhead of the attack, successively tore through seven German defense lines.
On June 6, the Battle of Cambrai ended. The expeditionary corps, with 17 troops, wiped out 20 German troops, with less than 18 casualties of its own.
By August 1918, the total number of Han troops entering Europe reached one million.
In September 1918, the Han Empire and the Allied forces concentrated about 9 million troops and launched a full-scale attack on the German army on a front more than 150 kilometers wide from Verdun to the North Atlantic coast.
By November 1918, the German army was defeated and retreated back into Germany.
In February 1919, a sailor's mutiny broke out in Germany and William II abdicated.
In March 1919, Germany signed a surrender agreement and the war ended.
After the end of the European war, the Han garrison returned to South America. About three-fifths of the people in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Guyana, Panama, Puerto Rico and other regions who did not accept assimilation education or did not meet the assimilation standards either voluntarily migrated to the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Australia and other countries, or were forcibly relocated by the Han state to Cuba, Haiti, Congo, Angola, Mozambique, French Congo, Tanzania and other regions.
During the eleven years from the end of World War I to 1930, despite strong opposition from foreign countries, the Han Dynasty still firmly implemented the policy of population migration and assimilation. By June 1930, the migration and assimilation policy was basically completed, and the total population of the Han Dynasty increased to 6 million.
The number of Chinese and naturalized Chinese has once again returned to 90%.
Between 1930 and 1940, the population growth rate slowed down due to the tightening of admission requirements for immigrants and the accommodation of a part of the population in Songkhla, Lan Fang, Puerto Rico and other places. By February 1940, the total population of Han Country had increased to 2 million, and the proportion of Chinese and naturalized Chinese increased to . In 95, the proportion of Chinese and naturalized Chinese in Han Country increased to 1960%. Except for a small number of Indian tribes living in the primitive rain forest, almost all citizens who have accepted modern civilization are Chinese or naturalized Chinese. South America has completely become a country that belongs exclusively to the Chinese.
In May 1940, the 5-year-old founding emperor Li Mingyuan was still in good spirits, but he insisted on giving up the throne to the crown prince despite repeated requests from others.
In June 1952, the founding emperor Ly Minh Yuan died at the age of 6. After his death, the royal descendants who were granted fiefs in Songkhla, Lan Fang and Hawaii all went to South America to attend the funeral. Ly Minh Yuan's funeral became one of the largest and most far-reaching funerals in the 100th century.
ps: It’s over, thank you all for your support.
After the end of the First Han-American War, a new confrontation pattern was formed in the world. From the end of 1899 to August 1900, during the hot war between the two countries, the United States lost more than 8 tons of naval ships and 22 soldiers in the army. More than half of the main force of the navy was lost, and the standing army suffered a devastating blow.
After seeing the power of Han's new weapons such as submarines and aircraft, the US government was forced to shrink its forces back to North America, and at the same time expand its military and increase investment in the research and development of new weapons. By 1904, the total tonnage of the US Navy had recovered to 36 tons, and the standing strength of the Army had increased to 60.
In February 1904, the United States planned the independence of Panama and immediately signed an agreement with the independent Panamanian government, obtaining the right to build the canal and the right to operate it for 2 years.
In June 1904, the Netherlands and the Han Chinese signed an Agreement of Understanding, formally recognizing Lan Fang's occupation and sovereignty claims over South Borneo (occupied during the First Han-American War).
Since then, the Dutch colonial forces were completely expelled from Borneo, and the territory of Lan Fang expanded to 54 square kilometers.
In August 1904, the ocean-going immigration transport program, which had been interrupted for four years due to the blockade, was restarted. However, compared with the period before 8, Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries still imposed many restrictions on the intermediate stops of Chinese immigrant ships. Affected by this, the Chinese ocean-going fleet reduced the number of intermediate stops and gradually shifted its immigration focus to the South Pacific route.
In October 1904, due to the exclusion and blockade of Western countries, the economic market share of Han Kingdom in the Far East mainland dropped by more than 10%. The industrial development in Han Kingdom, Songkhla and Lan Fang suffered a serious blow. In order to maintain the normal operation of industrial development, the central government of Han Kingdom adjusted the economic development model. The government formulated development plans and shifted the focus of industrial development to basic areas such as railways, canals, roads, public transportation based on minerals, and raw material mining. At the same time, it increased investment in research and development in the fields of electricity, machinery, chemicals, and medicine.
In 1906, the scale of the Han government's domestic debt reached 12 billion Han yuan, and the fiscal deficit expenditure also exceeded 3 million Han yuan.
In August 1907, Britain, France and Russia signed a military mutual assistance agreement, and the Allied Powers were formally established. The signing of the military mutual assistance agreement also marked the transition of the two major groups headed by Britain and Germany from the cold war of economic and political confrontation to a hot war of military confrontation.
Affected by the intensified conflicts and confrontation between the two major groups, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy successively extended olive branches to the Han State and completely lifted restrictions on Han immigration. At the same time, they frequently sent high-level officials and generals to South America to discuss with the Han State the restoration of cooperation in the economic, industrial, military and political fields.
In October 1907, at the request of the government and the military, William II banned several newspapers that spread the Yellow Peril theory and smeared the Han Dynasty.
In November, Britain and France also completely lifted the blockade on Han State in order to prevent it from joining the Allied Powers.
In December, after seven years, the Han State had basically completed the construction of internal infrastructure, the cleanup of newly occupied areas, and the implementation of assimilation policies.
By the end of 1907, the total mileage of mainland railways had increased to 16 kilometers, and the total population had increased to 5700 million (including 400 million in the newly occupied areas), among which the proportion of Chinese and naturalized Chinese remained at a high level of over 90%.
Of the total population of about 1100 in the newly occupied areas of Brazil, Chile and Bolivia, about 300 million people died due to war, disease, hunger and other reasons. About 150 million people migrated to other overseas areas because they were dissatisfied with the Han assimilation policy. About 250 million blacks and mixed-race blacks were forcibly relocated to the overseas province of Congo after two years of forced labor. In the end, the number of people in the three countries who met the assimilation standards was only about 400 million.
In order to complete the clearing and relocation plan of the newly occupied areas, the Han State mobilized a total of about 35 people, including field armies, garrison troops, and militia, to participate in military operations. Over a period of seven years, about 7 military personnel died directly in the counterinsurgency operations, while the number of military personnel who died due to going deep into the primitive rainforest, contracting diseases, being attacked by poisonous insects, snakes, and pythons exceeded 4000, which was much higher than the proportion of direct deaths in battle.
Entering the century, nationalism rose. Although the Han Kingdom paid the price of more than deaths in the clearing of the occupied areas, it achieved the expected goals and successfully eliminated or subdued the local people who participated in the rebellion and did not meet the assimilation standards, thus resolving the hidden dangers of social division. From the long-term perspective of the country, it was more beneficial than harmful.
More than 200 million blacks and mixed-race blacks were forcibly relocated from mainland South America to the overseas province of Congo, which inevitably brought certain shocks and disruptions to the local order.
Some black Americans and mixed-race blacks were dissatisfied with the fact that they still had to perform forced labor and frequently rioted. Another part obeyed the arrangements and, under the organization of colonial officials and the army, continued to move deeper into the interior in search of land to survive. They occupied the land and property that originally belonged to the indigenous people, causing a large-scale escape and migration of the indigenous blacks. From 1904 to the beginning of 1908, the total number of blacks who migrated from the former overseas province of Congo to other areas reached more than 200 million. They migrated in different directions to French Congo, Angola, Rwanda, Zambia and other places.
The large-scale migration of black natives destroyed the original order and public security of the surrounding colonies. In order to restore stability, the colonies organized colonial armies and mobilized indigenous tribes to resist the impact of migrating blacks. On the other hand, they protested to the Congo Overseas Province of the Han Kingdom and demanded that the Congo Overseas Province stop exporting indigenous peoples.
The two sides continued to argue over the issue of the migration of indigenous blacks until May 1908, when the migration of American blacks and mixed-race blacks ended and the escape of indigenous peoples from the Congo Overseas Province gradually ceased. The Congo Overseas Province then signed a memorandum of understanding with the surrounding colonies, promising to strengthen control and ensure that the migration of indigenous blacks would not occur on a large scale again.
At the end of 1908, the Overseas Province of Congo submitted an annual report to the local government. The report summarized data and development analysis in various fields of Congo. In terms of population, the Overseas Province of Congo estimated the proportion and approximate population size of local ethnic groups through assessments of population migration and indigenous numbers.
After continuous immigration and emigration, the Chinese population has remained in the range of about 200 million. The total number of black Americans, black mixed races, and other races in the Americas who resist assimilation is about 400 million (some people died of disease, forced labor, etc. after arriving in Congo.)
The number of black indigenous peoples decreased to 700 million.
The total population of the Congo Overseas Province exceeds 1300 million, which was considered densely populated in Africa in the early th century. However, because the Han Kingdom only had one African colony, the Congo Overseas Province, and the African continent was the closest to South America, the Han Kingdom central government had no choice but to do so, even if the continued migration of blacks to the Congo Overseas Province would disrupt local order and stability.
In February 1909, the aviation force under the Army was upgraded to an independent Air Force, with the same rank as the Army and Navy.
In June 1909, Han successfully developed the first generation of tanks with a load capacity of 6 tons and a speed of kilometers per hour.

On November 11, the number of US troops deployed in South American countries reached 20. On November 30, a US troop of about 11 people, under the cover of superior warships, attempted to land in the former Recife area of Brazil, but was attacked by the garrison. On December 25, the landing US troops left behind more than 2 bodies and evacuated in a panic.
On December 12, 17 . troops, with the cooperation of 2 Peruvian defenders, launched a fierce attack on the garrison troops stationed in the border area. The battle lasted for a month. Due to heavy casualties and slow progress, in mid-January 5, the . top brass took the initiative to call off the offensive plan.
In April 1915, after half a year of exploratory fighting, the US military suffered 4 casualties, while the Han side suffered 6 casualties.
On June 1915, 6, the Han Empire mobilized two armies, more than 3 tanks, more than 2 aircraft, and a total of about 100 people to launch a counterattack against the US and Peruvian troops stationed on the border from the Atacama Desert.
On June 6, the counterattack troops broke through four lines of defense in succession and entered the enemy's deep area.
On June 6, the Peruvian and American joint forces stationed on the border, totaling about 14 people, were cut off and surrounded, and lost contact with the rear.
On June 6, the counterattack troops advanced to the border between Tacna Province and Moquegua Province. Most of the 26 American troops and 15 Peruvian troops gathered in Tacna Province were annihilated. The small number of troops that were divided and surrounded in various isolated strongholds and defense lines also lost the possibility of breaking out. The only option waiting for them was surrender.
On September 9, the Han troops continued to advance, successively occupying Arequipa, Puno, Cusco, Ayacucho, Ica, Huancavelica and other provinces, and their front line was approaching the Peruvian capital of Lima.
In order to reverse the decline and rebuild the defense line, the US government carried out a second military mobilization, expanding the total strength of the army to 370 million and the total strength of the navy, including the Marine Corps, to 21.
On October 10, the number of US troops in South American countries surged to 27, and the number of US troops in Peru recovered to 90.
After a year of fighting, the total number of American casualties and prisoners exceeded 20, while the total number of casualties on the Han side was about 6, less than one-third of the US casualties.
On October 10, the . Atlantic Fleet and Pacific Fleet joined forces in the waters of Peru, preparing to cover the army's landing from behind the Han garrison, on the one hand to ease the defensive pressure on Peru, on the other hand to force the Han navy to fight a decisive battle.
At noon that day, more than 3 . troops, under the cover of naval guns, launched an attack on the Han garrison stationed in the Antofagasta area. By November 11, the attacking . troops had successively captured several strongholds and defense lines in the northwest and central parts of the coast, and the battle line advanced about 2 kilometers into the depths of the area.
On November 11, more than 5 transferred aircraft, carrying torpedoes, arrived in the western Andes and joined the main fleet composed of the Pacific Fleet, the Atlantic Fleet, and the South China Sea Fleet.
At 11 . on November 7, the Chinese mixed fleet and the US main fleet engaged in a battle in the waters off Antofagasta.
At 9:30 ., more than 300 Han Chinese planes painted with dragon flag patterns came in, covering the sky and launching an attack on the . fleet.
It is a well-known fact that the Han Dynasty has an independent air force with a large scale and can assist the army in attacking ground targets. However, it is the first time that the Americans have encountered an air force carrying torpedoes and attacking warships over long distances.
The . fleet was unable to withstand the sudden and sharp attack of the aircraft formation. By 11 ., the number of warships of various types directly lost to the flight formation exceeded 10. In addition, due to the attack of the aircraft, the formation was in chaos and the battle line was broken, which was taken advantage of by the Han Navy Fleet to attack. In just two hours of fighting, the . fleet paid a heavy price with a total of more than 20 warships sunk and two main battleships severely damaged.
At 2 ., the Han flying fleet stopped pursuing because it ran out of fuel, and the naval battle gradually came to an end.
By 5 ., the . fleet had paid the price of sinking several battleships before it was able to escape the encirclement and pursuit of the Han fleet and return to the port of Lima. On November 11, the Han fleet and its aircraft formation took advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy, crossed the southern area of Lima, sailed to the port of Lima, blocked the escape route of the remaining . fleet, and continued to fiercely attack the warships anchored in the port.
On November 11, ground forces broke through the defense lines deployed by the US and Peruvian forces and advanced to the suburbs of Lima. The US fleet docked in the port was about to face a joint attack from both the shore and the sea, and the situation was deteriorating.
That night, the . fleet ignored the Peruvian side's attempts to retain it and launched a dispersed breakout. The fighting lasted all night. By the early morning of the next day, except for three cruisers, two armored cruisers, and two battleships that managed to break through the blockade and return to the Colombian coast, the remaining more than 3 ships of various types were either sunk or intercepted in the port, completely losing the possibility of breaking out.
On November 11, the Han army occupied Lima, the capital of Peru. Except for 20 US troops led by Lieutenant General Pershing who fled to Colombia, the remaining 6 US troops and more than 24 Peruvian troops were successively eliminated or captured by the Han army within a month.
The main fleet of the United States was almost wiped out. There was no longer any naval force restraining South America, the Atlantic, Pacific, and Caribbean regions. The Han Navy completely gained control of the sea in the Americas.

In February 1916, the Han army entered Ecuador and the Ecuadorian president fled to Colombia.
In June 1916, a war broke out again between more than 6 Han army and 60 . army in Bogota, the capital of Colombia. The war lasted for a month. Finally, under the three-dimensional warfare attack of Han army on the ground and in the air, the . Army was defeated and retreated. By early August, the . Army retreated to Central America. The total number of . soldiers who successfully withdrew was less than 70.

In June 1917, the Battle of Panama broke out. Under unfavorable conditions where the navy, air force and army were all at a disadvantage, more than 6 US troops stationed there were completely surrounded and annihilated by the Han State. The Han State's frontline troops advanced to the border between Panama and Costa Rica.
In August 1917, the Han fleet bombarded the west coast of the United States, and in September, 8 army troops landed on the west coast of the United States.
In October, the US government took the initiative to seek peace.
In December, the two countries signed an armistice agreement, and the United States transferred the sovereignty of Cuba, Guam, Puerto Rico, Palawan, Wake Island and other areas to the Han Kingdom.
Recognize Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador and other regions as the Han sphere of influence.

In accordance with the agreement, the United States will withdraw more than 10 troops surrounded on the island of Cuba back to its homeland, and the two countries will use the border between Panama and Costa Rica as the demarcation line of influence.
At the end of the Second Han-American War, the Han Kingdom acquired all of South American territories except Guyana, and the pattern of one country monopolizing one state was basically formed.
When the news that the Second Han-American War ended and Han had monopolized South America spread to other parts of the world, the two major groups, the Allied Powers and the Entente, which were fighting each other for their lives, were shocked.
Germany's strength has been enhanced compared with the same period in history. The Second American War broke out at the same time as World War I. Without the input of funds and materials from the United States, even if the Allied Powers tried their best to plunder and make up from other regions, they could not replace the role of the United States.
Because of the addition of new weapons such as airplanes and tanks, the areas of weaponry, military strategy, etc., under the influence of the Han Dynasty, also exceeded the same period in history by five to ten years. The European war became more brutal, and the situation of Britain, France and Russia became more difficult.
Russia was the first to collapse. On November 1916, 11, an internal revolution broke out in Russia, and on November 12, Nicholas II abdicated.
In April 1917, the Russian Provisional Government that continued to insist on the war was overthrown. The new government signed an armistice agreement with Germany, Austria-Hungary and other countries, unilaterally withdrawing from the war.
In early July 1917, after eliminating the threat from Russia in the east, Germany and Austria-Hungary mobilized troops and launched a fierce attack on the Italian army in the Kobarid region of Slovenia. By the end of July, the German-Austrian coalition won the battle, causing a total of about 7 casualties to the Italian defenders, while the casualties of the two countries were only more than 7.
On July 7, news of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Kobarid reached the country, and the Italians were in panic. On July 27, serious anti-war demonstrations broke out in Italy, with 7 workers taking to the streets to demand an end to the war.
On August 8, fearing that he would follow the Russian royal family's path, the King of Italy publicly declared that he was willing to negotiate with the Allies to end the war.
On August 8, under pressure from the royal family and the people, the Italian military was forced to agree to the ceasefire request.
On August 8, after urgent consultations, the Kingdom of Italy signed an armistice agreement with the Allied countries. Italy became the second country to unilaterally withdraw from the war after Russia.
Russia and Italy withdrew from the war one after another, leaving only two major powers, Britain and France, to support the Allied Powers. At the same time, the full-scale war between China and the United States in the Americas, Africa, Asia and other fields had a great impact on the overseas transportation and supply of the Allied Powers, and there was a shortage of material supplies in Britain and France.
On October 10, a serious anti-war movement broke out among soldiers on the French front, with more than 12 soldiers refusing to launch an attack on the opposite position.
On October 10, soldiers' anti-war activities intensified, and social order in France was seriously damaged.
In December, Han and the United States signed an armistice agreement, and the war in the Americas came to a halt. Faced with the drastic changes in the situation in America, both the Allied Powers and the Central Powers were determined to end the war and adjust their respective development strategies. However, the war lasted for more than three years, and the two major groups paid too many sacrifices and losses. Unless one side had absolute military advantage like in the Second Han-American War, neither side was willing to compromise or give in.
In order to increase the chances of victory and completely defeat the other side, both the Allied Powers and the Central Powers stepped up their efforts to win over the Han State. Even if they were not sure of getting the Han State to join their camp, they could not push the Han State to the opposite side.
On January 1918, 1, after one month of consultation and coordination, Han and the Allied Powers reached an agreement:
1 The Allied Powers agreed to designate Angola, Mozambique and French Congo as immigration destinations, and to unconditionally accept people who had migrated from Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and other places.
2 Britain, France and the Netherlands transferred the Guyana region to the Han Kingdom for a total price of 1200 million Han yuan.
The 3 Allied Powers recognized that China had special rights and interests in Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador and other regions, recognized China's sovereignty over Puerto Rico, Guam, Palawan, Wake Island and other islands, and recognized Cuba as a resettlement site for indigenous peoples of the Americas.
4. The Han Kingdom joined the Allied Powers and declared war on Germany. No later than June 1918, it dispatched 6 troops to the European continent to participate in the war against Germany. After the war, Germany's colonies in Africa were divided and occupied by the Han Kingdom.
On January 1918, 1, in accordance with the agreement, the Han Kingdom officially declared war on Germany.
On March 3, the first batch of 10 army troops arrived in France.
On May 5, the total number of Han troops stationed in France reached 16.
On May 5, the troops stationed in France were organized into an expeditionary corps, which was composed of three army groups.
On May 5, the expeditionary corps officially launched an attack on the German army in the Cambrai area of France.
On May 5, the expeditionary force, led by a tank brigade and an army group as the spearhead of the attack, successively tore through seven German defense lines.
On June 6, the Battle of Cambrai ended. The expeditionary corps, with 17 troops, wiped out 20 German troops, with less than 18 casualties of its own.
By August 1918, the total number of Han troops entering Europe reached one million.
In September 1918, the Han Empire and the Allied forces concentrated about 9 million troops and launched a full-scale attack on the German army on a front more than 150 kilometers wide from Verdun to the North Atlantic coast.
By November 1918, the German army was defeated and retreated back into Germany.
In February 1919, a sailor's mutiny broke out in Germany and William II abdicated.
In March 1919, Germany signed a surrender agreement and the war ended.
After the end of the European war, the Han garrison returned to South America. About three-fifths of the people in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Guyana, Panama, Puerto Rico and other regions who did not accept assimilation education or did not meet the assimilation standards either voluntarily migrated to the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Australia and other countries, or were forcibly relocated by the Han state to Cuba, Haiti, Congo, Angola, Mozambique, French Congo, Tanzania and other regions.
During the eleven years from the end of World War I to 1930, despite strong opposition from foreign countries, the Han Dynasty still firmly implemented the policy of population migration and assimilation. By June 1930, the migration and assimilation policy was basically completed, and the total population of the Han Dynasty increased to 6 million.
The number of Chinese and naturalized Chinese has once again returned to 90%.
Between 1930 and 1940, the population growth rate slowed down due to the tightening of admission requirements for immigrants and the accommodation of a part of the population in Songkhla, Lan Fang, Puerto Rico and other places. By February 1940, the total population of Han Country had increased to 2 million, and the proportion of Chinese and naturalized Chinese increased to . In 95, the proportion of Chinese and naturalized Chinese in Han Country increased to 1960%. Except for a small number of Indian tribes living in the primitive rain forest, almost all citizens who have accepted modern civilization are Chinese or naturalized Chinese. South America has completely become a country that belongs exclusively to the Chinese.
In May 1940, the 5-year-old founding emperor Li Mingyuan was still in good spirits, but he insisted on giving up the throne to the crown prince despite repeated requests from others.
In June 1952, the founding emperor Ly Minh Yuan died at the age of 6. After his death, the royal descendants who were granted fiefs in Songkhla, Lan Fang and Hawaii all went to South America to attend the funeral. Ly Minh Yuan's funeral became one of the largest and most far-reaching funerals in the 100th century.
