From a certain perspective, the war that took place on the southern continent after the British Royal Navy lost the Great Battle of the Pacific was a war between advanced industrial civilization and backward steppe civilization!
Among them, the one that represents advanced industrial civilization is of course the Ming Dynasty that landed on the southern continent!
The fleet of dozens of square miles, the armored warships that climbed onto the beach after becoming "masters", and hundreds of wheeled armored vehicles spit out from the "bloody mouth" of the "ironclad warship masters" certainly represent advanced industrial civilization.
Just the vehicles, artillery, guns, ammunition, medicines, modular docks, and engineering equipment used to build bridges and roads that the Ming army sent to the beach within 24 hours after landing on the "criminal beach". They were even used to feed the busy people.
The field rations for the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who worked overtime were not something that a country with a low degree of industrialization could easily provide, let alone a fleet of dozens of square miles.
It is no exaggeration to say that without the support of the world's largest, most complete, and most advanced industrial system, the Ming army would never have thought of firing a single bullet or cannonball on the beach of Brisbane!
On the other hand, the 7 regiments and 21 divisions of the British army that set off from the Sydney Grand Fortress area on January 8, 1833 were actually a de-industrialized "prairie army". Although the United Kingdom is still the world's largest
The second industrialized country still has an industrial system with a complete range of categories and is completely self-sufficient.
However, after the defeat of the British Royal Navy in the Pacific, shipping between the United Kingdom and the Australian Dominion could no longer be maintained. And the British had not invested in establishing any industry in Australia. This Australian industry is not even comparable to that of the United Kingdom.
She can't compare with the industry of the Kingdom of Jin, which is stuck in Central Asia.
Daikin was able to produce rifles and rifle bullets in 1826. After the railway track (not railway) was connected, progress was even faster. By the end of 1832, Daikin was able to produce machine guns and small and medium-caliber mountain cannons.
Train locomotives, ordinary construction steel and rails, steam engines and locomotives, and even the artillery system purchased from the Ming Dynasty can be used to assemble wooden-shell steam gunboats. Six years after its establishment, the Daikin Navy finally has its first ship that can
A surface ship sailing at sea!
None of the above can be manufactured by the Australian Dominion. Australia currently does not even have an industrial chain that can produce muskets and gunpowder. In fact, without externally imported iron tools, Australia today cannot even manufacture a machete!
As for what Australia can produce now? Mainly livestock products, including cattle, sheep, and horses, can be produced in large quantities! Of course, it can also produce wool, cowhide, milk, butter, cheese, etc. This industrial structure,
In fact, it was similar to the Junggar, Horqin, and Shuote Mongolian tribes that were attached to the Jin Kingdom.
If the Ming Dynasty's blockade of Australia had continued, in another ten or twenty years, Australia's white-skinned people might really turn into grassland nomads.
In fact, today's Australia has nothing to do with industrial countries. It is just a grassland khanate. Most of Australia's coasts are highlands, which block water vapor, so the inland areas are covered with large grasslands.
Hugh Gough, who was standing on the shore of Sydney Bay, watching groups of Australian regiment cavalry, mounted infantry, and mounted artillery passing by on horseback, waving sabers or carbines, heading towards the mountains of the Great Dividing Range, also felt at this time
This question arose - is this still the army of the British Empire? Why does it look so much like Emperor Daoguang's Dajin soldiers?
While he was thinking about a strange question, the sound of rapid horse hooves interrupted his thoughts. It was a signal soldier who came to bring him a telegram he had just received.
Brigadier General Clinton, Hugh Gough's chief of staff, quickly took the envelope containing the telegram, opened it, took out the telegram newspaper inside and read it. After reading it, he frowned and said to Hugh Gough: "Admiral, Brisbane
The Ming Navy's urgent call from the fortress carried out the third landing operation, targeting Bribie Island, Moreton Island, and North Stradbroke Island."
These three islands are not small and form a ring outside Brisbane Port, enclosing a bay.
Hugh Gough said calmly: "It seems they want to completely take over Brisbane Port!"
Brigadier General Clinton said: "The Ming army that landed had a lot of heavy equipment. Unlike us, they can ride horses and gallop across the Australian grasslands. Even if they don't have bullets and cannonballs, they can still fight with sabers and spears. They rely on a large number of
artillery and vehicles, which puts great pressure on logistics. Therefore, they must capture Brisbane Port, otherwise the Ming army that landed on the beach cannot sustain itself by relying on beachhead supplies."
Hugh Goff's brows furrowed even more tightly, "Brigadier General, your words make me feel like we are backward barbarians, while they are the conquerors with advanced technology and civilization!"
When Brigadier General Clinton heard this, he was stunned and speechless - "If you fall behind, you will be beaten" has always been an undoubted truth in the 19th century and many centuries before that, and the British are particularly
Believe this.
Not to mention old colonists like General Hugh Gough and Brigadier General Clinton, even Victoria, the "Snow White", was a complete social Darwinist. Otherwise, she would not have opposed relief for the hungry people in Ireland in history.
Already.
With the financial resources of the British Empire at that time, it was simply not a problem to feed the millions of Irish people who had no potatoes to eat! Moreover, the queen who "ruled without governing" had greater power than the subsequent British monarchs. If she did not firmly believe that "
The social Darwinism of "the poor deserve to starve to death" and "the backward should be beaten", she insists on requiring the parliament to spend money to save people, which can also be achieved. Even if it cannot be done, the parliament will not launch a revolution because their queen is too benevolent.
?If you really want to do this, you will look too much like the devil.
But not only was Victoria unwilling to help the victims, she even refused to allow the Ottoman Sultan, who was flattering her, to donate money to buy wheat for the Irish. She was like a she-devil!
But Hugh Gough and Clinton, who had believed all their lives that "poor people deserve to starve to death" and "those who are backward deserve to be beaten" suddenly found that they seemed to be the characters who deserved to starve to death and be beaten. This felt really bad!
“Admiral,” Brigadier General Clinton quickly explained, “I mean that although they are advanced, they rely too much on logistics and are not suitable for fighting on the vast grasslands of Australia. But we can fight against Genghis Khan’s Mongolian army.
Similarly, we use a large number of horses to maneuver on the Australian grasslands. As long as we divert them away from the coastline and lead them into the grasslands and deserts west of the Great Dividing Range, we can attack the enemy just like the Mongol Empire's army."
Hugh Gough took a breath. Brigadier General Clinton's theory was correct. Australia has a lot of grasslands and deserts. It looks similar to the territory of the Mongols. Therefore, the "Australian Khanate" with a large number of horses does have an advantage.
But the question is, how did the Mongols fight? Also, who was the Mongol Empire defeated by in history? It seems to be Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
Is it possible to imitate the Mongolians and defeat the Ming Dynasty’s industrialized army?
