After listening to Gao Shaoyi's words, everyone immediately understood what was going on, that is, to let the people in the world know our strength. If we use force to force them to hand over the concession, the people will be very worried in their hearts. After all, we are afraid that the Western powers will come back, but if they voluntarily teach the people, they will not have such worries, and we can implement our economic revitalization plan faster.
The three southern provinces were originally the most economically developed places in the entire Daqian Empire. The original economic development was a bit deformed, and it was basically under the operation of foreign capital. After Gao Shaoyi took over the entire three southern provinces, it would take two to three years. Within a certain period of time, the economic market of the entire three southern provinces will be reformed.
Economic reform requires political stability. If the people are in fear every day, how can we carry out economic reform? This is also an important reason why Gao Shaoyi asked the Western powers to take the initiative to hand over the concession areas. He must first reassure the people.
There were still five days before Gao Shaoyi's ultimatum, and the Junkers Empire took the lead in handing over. After negotiating with Gao Shaoyi, Mr. Hans reported the results of their negotiations to the country, although they also saw the deceptive tone in Gao Shaoyi's words. More, but at this moment they have no other choice but to reach an agreement with Gao Shaoyi.
The two sides signed a secret memorandum. As long as the Junker Empire enters the war, Gao Shaoyi must provide more than ten kinds of bulk goods to the Junker Empire as soon as possible.
Of course, in return, from now on, the Junkers Empire will deliver a large number of industrial design drawings and even many second-tier factories to the Suppression Army. The Suppression Army only needs to pay a cost price to purchase these materials from the Junkers Empire.
When the Junker Empire takes action against the Rakshasa Empire, the Suppression Army must launch an attack in the east at the same time, and then advance to the west along the railway line, defeating all the Rakshasa Empire armies along the way. After the two sides join forces, they will each rule their own country. The occupied land is not allowed to spy on the land occupied by the opponent, and under limited circumstances, certain battlefield support is provided to the opponent.
After the Junker Empire's fleet is defeated, the warships of the Suppression Army must at least organize a fleet of no less than fifteen warships to quickly go to the West for support. The specific terms should be finalized within three months.
At the same time, the Junker Empire sent 2,000 army instructors to the Suppression Army to help the Suppression Army train its troops, and provided military support of five million silver coins to the Suppression Army.
Four days before the ultimatum, the Gallic Empire also announced that it would withdraw from all concessions in the three southern provinces, and stated that it had reached a series of agreements with the Suppression Army. From now on, the two sides will have good diplomatic relations. It will all be resolved through diplomatic negotiations.
On the afternoon of the same day, the Foreign Minister of the Windsor Empire also expressed his position, agreeing in principle to withdraw from all concessions in the three southern provinces, but required the anti-captive army to protect the safety of their merchants and signed a written statement.
Among the major Western powers, only the people from the Morgan Empire have not yet expressed their stance. Gao Shaoyi is also in the final negotiations with Mr. Bush. Mr. Bush is now unemployed, but no one dares to underestimate this guy's ability. Because this guy is now the spokesperson for DuPont Group.
Gao Shaoyi is basically ready for other powers from various countries, what should he do, and also tells them where to get benefits, but for the Morgan Empire, this matter may be a bit difficult, because Gao Shaoyi doesn't know what these people need
What, so I can only ask Mr. Bush to say it.
"Mr. Bush, from the last cooperation, I think we are friends. If you have anything you want, you can say it directly. As for other matters, I will slowly negotiate."
Before he could figure out what the other party meant, Gao Shaoyi could only ask the other party to say it directly. Let's just show them off. Other countries have various disadvantages. Gao Shaoyi could also prescribe the right medicine, but he didn't find their Morgan.
The empire's disadvantages, who makes them stronger.
"First of all, the prince should be able to imagine that our businessmen should also be protected and treated the same as those in the Windsor Empire. I don't think the prince will have any obstacles to this."
After he finished speaking, Gao Shaoyi nodded beside him. Gao Shaoyi also knew that Western capitalist countries attach great importance to their businessmen. If their businessmen cannot be protected, then these people will have no way to make profits. When they
When businessmen have no way to make profits, the government's taxation will be greatly interfered with.
"Second, we hope to lower our tax rate. After we take out the concessions in the three southern provinces, we hope our tax rate will be the lowest among countries."
Before Mr. Bush finished speaking, Gao Shaoyi was already shaking his head. Moreover, Gao Shaoyi had guessed what the other party was thinking. Indeed, the other party did not have any political demands. All their demands were in business.
On the other hand, the Morgan Empire has always believed that the economic base determines the superstructure, and he is the one who understands this sentence best among all empires.
Their aggression has always been soft aggression. It is different from other countries. Other countries are either interested in your land or your money. All methods of aggression are relatively low-level, but the Magic Root Empire is not.
It's the same, they play the role of a savior, as if they are here to help you, but in the past few years you will find that they are more hateful than other countries in the West, and they take away more money and benefits.
"As for the issue of tax rates, we will not make any openings unless you can give us the same treatment. But judging from the current situation, very few businessmen in our country go to do business with you, so even if you can give us
With the same treatment, we are unlikely to gain much benefit, but I can give you a guarantee that when our two countries’ business is similar in the future, I will sign a most-favored-nation treaty with you.”
In the eyes of other officials of the Daqian Empire, the treaties proposed by the Morgan Empire are not important, because these requirements can be easily achieved. As long as they do not cede territory and pay compensation, they can agree to anything, but Gao Shaoyi
Not those mindless people, these soft treaties are the most murderous thing. This chapter has been completed!
