Compared with the concession in Nandong Province, Yawata City is too important. If there is one over there, it is at least fifty here, so the people in the negotiation team howled loudly, and some even knelt on the ground and used their own
fist hit the ground.
Failure is not terrible. The most terrible thing is that there is no room for reversal after failure. Now, in addition to the military port, the most important industrial town in Dongdi Kingdom also belongs to the opponent, and there is no strength to take it back. Without a navy,
, it is useless to send more armies, this has been verified here in Hengfu Port.
Taro Kaga is a little concerned about death now. I don’t know which bastard made the industrial development plan back then and placed all industrial zones within thirty kilometers of the seaside, which also happens to be where naval guns are located.
At that time, everyone felt that the waters of Dongdi were safe.
Even if the Western powers attack Dongdi, as long as we have enough naval ships, we can stop them at sea. But now it is better. After the naval ships are lost, the entire country will be placed on other people's dining tables.
People can eat whatever they want. Today they occupy your military port, tomorrow they occupy your industrial town, and the day after tomorrow they may go directly to the capital. Your entire country has no ability to resist.
Gao Shaoyi behaved very gracefully at this time. He looked at his watch and left him an hour to cry here. We will come back in an hour.
Li Hongtang and Zhu Jiugong also arranged their clothes, and then followed Gao Shaoyi to the terrace outside. The service staff had already placed some snacks. Let's have a cold meal like the Westerners.
"It was so enjoyable just now. If you hadn't dragged me out, I would have continued reading. When I signed the treaty, I had the same idea in my heart as they did. I didn't expect that I could return it intact.
Go back, no, to be more precise, I should give it back twice as much, I feel so comfortable."
Among all people, Li Hongtang should be the happiest. He signed a treaty that was humiliating and humiliating the country, and he was scolded by the people of the Daqian Empire for several years. Now he can finally feel proud.
"Your face has been glowing these past two days. Whether you talk or walk, you look more and more like a young man."
Zhu Jiugong said with a smile, Zhu Jiugong is different from ordinary people. He naturally knows the identity of Li Hongtang's paper maker. Our strength was not strong enough back then. Without Li Hongtang to deal with the major powers, I am afraid we would have lost more power, so he
He didn't scold Li Hongtang like other common people.
"As long as I see these guys being unlucky, I feel happy in my heart. I used to follow us and imitate everything from us. Now I have learned some Western technology and thought I could climb on top of us.
Go up, these guys should fall down now, they must be where they were before."
Li Hongtang spoke sonorously and forcefully, not like an old man at all, and facing these people from Dongdi Kingdom, Li Hongtang looked down from the bottom of his heart. You have been our slaves for hundreds of years, that is, you have been shaking recently.
Now that you are up, have you really become immortals?
"You're right, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes. The original slaves couldn't give birth to masters, so they bastards still have to be our slaves."
Zhu Jiugong said cheerfully, after returning home this time, we have shown our faces. Before, we were envious of our colleagues on the grassland. We always felt that our navy had no place to use it. Now there is no need to envy us. Our achievements are greater than yours.
If you want to be bigger, you are just suppressing the internal rebellion, while we are really opening up new territory.
While the two were talking, they saw Gao Shaoyi frowning next to him. Our situation is very good now. Why is the Duke of Guo frowning?
"Is there anything else?"
Li Hongtang did not expect that we would be in any crisis. After all, the current situation is extremely beneficial to us, and the Rakshasa Empire's fleet is moving slower and selling more than actually expected, so we have more time to react.
"I was thinking about the international situation. We took these two places with lightning speed. What will other powers think? Will they cooperate with us in the future? If I am not wrong, there will be similar events in the future.
If something happens, the great powers from all over the world will definitely join forces to kill us."
Gao Shaoyi blew out a smoke ring. He didn't know how to smoke before, but after he became the commander-in-chief of the Suppression Army, he became more and more accustomed to smoking when thinking about problems. Of course, he didn't smoke a lot.
After Gao Shaoyi's words came out, both of them fell into silence, completely losing their excitement just now. What Gao Shaoyi said was the truth. The great powers of all countries did not want the rise of the Daqian Empire, but defeating two empires at once was already enough.
The rise of the Daqian Empire was announced, of course, only through sneak attacks, but war does not care about this, as long as you can win, you are a winner.
The interests in the world have been almost divided. If there is an emerging group, other established vested interests will join forces to kill it, because this emerging group is likely to offend their interests. Perhaps it can still do so today.
Let's shake hands and make peace, but it's hard to say what will happen tomorrow.
"Don't be discouraged, Mr. Guo. According to my opinion, Western countries are not necessarily monolithic. Their internal contradictions are very big. As long as we can seize the opportunity and unite one or two people who can work together, then we will still have success in the future.
Partners, of course the concerns of Mr. Guo are also true, our road will be more difficult in the future."
Li Hongtang thought of the two major camps in the West, which have already been revealed. The Entente Powers led by the Windsor Empire and the Gallic Empire, and the Central Powers led by the Junkers Empire. The friction between the two camps is also increasing, although in some aspects it is still unclear.
We can cooperate, but if we have a long-term perspective, we know that sooner or later the two camps will have a battle.
The Rakshasa Empire is also very important, but it has not expressed its position yet. However, according to Li Hongtang's judgment, the Rakshasa Empire will eventually join the Allied Powers. As for the Morgan Empire on another continent, there is currently no intention to join, but
As long as a war breaks out, they will definitely get involved.
According to Li Hongtang's idea, we should join the Allied Powers' camp. After all, judging from the current situation, the Allied Powers' camp is relatively strong... This chapter has been completed!
