Lan Fang, whose relationship with Egypt has entered the honeymoon period, has a completely different face when facing Yemen.
This is no wonder Gu Weijun. After the Yemenis hurriedly dragged the Americans into the negotiations between Lanfang and Yemen, the progress of the negotiations was completely beyond the expectations of the Yemenis. The Americans had no hope of becoming Yemenis, but instead used Lanfang to negotiate with Lanfang.
The idea of carving up Yemen together with Fang is really inviting a wolf into the house.
After Gu Weijun learned about the Americans' request, he did not reject the Americans, but made a request to the Americans.
Lan Fang could agree to the United States' intervention in Yemen, but this would be conditional on the United States repealing the Chinese Exclusion Act.
The Americans quickly complied with this request.
In fact, the clamor for the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States has become very high. The repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act is simply a smooth sailing. The day after Gu Weijun made the request, the US government announced the official repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act, which had been in effect for 41 years.
The Chinese finally achieved their due social status in the United States.
I won’t go into detail here about the various joys of the Chinese living in the United States. After the U.S. government announced the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act, the negotiations between Lanfang and Yemen finally entered the fast lane.
No, it is not a negotiation between Lanfang and Yemen, but a negotiation between Lanfang and the United States. Yemen, as the country concerned, has been excluded from the scope of negotiations.
so sad
But this is the reality. Without strong national strength, one cannot even participate in negotiations that determine the fate of one's own country. Even Yemeni representative Wahid Badr cannot enter the conference room where Gu Weijun and Charles Hughes are negotiating.
In mid-August, Lanfang and Yemen reached an agreement under the mediation of the Americans. Yemen would cede nearly 30,000 square kilometers of territory, including Little Aden and Pirin Island, to Lanfang in exchange for Lanfang's help in building the Port of Mukalla.
Remuneration. The vicinity of Mukalla Port will be used as a concession area and will be leased by the Americans for 99 years. The Americans will station an army at Mukalla Port to ensure that Lanfang will not continue to expand in Yemen. At the same time, the United States will pay Yemen an annual
The government provided US$150,000 as the lease fee for Mukalla Port.
Fortunately, the rental fee is not set at one dollar per year, otherwise it would be shameless to a new level.
As soon as the agreement between Lanfang and Yemen was announced, everyone was immediately shocked. What was shocking was not the strength of the Lanfang government and the cowardice of the Yemeni government, but the Americans' empty-handed efforts.
Charles Hughes served as the Supreme Court judge in the past few years. He was really able to talk about the dead. He just cut off a piece of flesh from the Yemeni people and asked the Yemeni people to be grateful.
With the agreement between Lanfang and Yemen, the Cairo Conference finally came to an end.
Strictly speaking, the Cairo Conference was a successful meeting. After the meeting, the participating countries issued a joint statement. In this statement, the participating countries unanimously agreed to maintain the status quo in the Middle East and determined that future disputes would be resolved in the form of conferences.
Oppose any form of war in the Middle East.
The reason why "unanimous agreement" is in quotation marks is because the British did not sign this agreement. Churchill simply boarded the cruise ship back to London angrily and did not even attend the dinner after the meeting. This cannot but be said to be true.
A pity.
The Americans rebelled and surrendered to the enemy at the last moment, leaving Britain and Italy alone. The Cairo Conference not only failed to achieve its purpose of containing Lan Fang, but instead legally confirmed the existence of Lan Fang Western Province. Britain lost both its wife and its troops.
Churchill must have been very angry, because the blame must be placed on Churchill, and someone must be responsible for the failure at the Cairo Conference.
Even if the British don't sign, it's useless. The unanimous consent of the United States and France's Lanfang has set the tone for the meeting. Whether the British sign or not can't change this fact.
Qin Zhiyuan must be satisfied with this result. On the evening after the agreement was signed, Qin Zhiyuan hosted a banquet in Penglai Island Palace to entertain William III.
That's right, William III came to Lanfang again. This time William III came under the pretext of visiting William II. This was also William III's third trip to Lanfang within five years of the founding of Lanfang.
Considering the distance between Lanfang and Germany, this frequency can definitely be called frequent.
After learning the specific content of the Cairo Declaration, William III smiled a bit bitterly: You are such a lucky guy. Look at the current Lanfang territory. If you give it a few more decades, will you be able to unify the whole country?
world
As a king, William III must admit that Qin Zhiyuan is indeed a leader in the profession of king.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I don’t have that interest in the world. I just want to fight for a greater living space for the Chinese. I have no other intention besides that. Look at the current Lanfang Territory. The Northern Territory used to be a no-man’s land. Then
It was a land stolen by the Russians, and I just took it back legitimately. The same is true for Korea and Yingzhou. As for Siam and the Western Province, the people there were miserable under the rule of the feudal monarchs. I wanted to save them.
, brought them a happy life, so they overthrew the original government, this must be an act worthy of recognition. Qin Zhiyuan is much more shameless than Gu Weijun, his face does not turn red when he says these words, and he has no ability to confuse right and wrong.
Who.
Haha, I like your shameless look very much, it is very much like my style back then. William III was so happy that he leaned forward and backward.
These were the words Qin Zhiyuan used to attack William III, but now they were thrown back intact by William III.
Don't talk nonsense. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Your feeling of shamelessness is just your personal feeling. My feeling is noble. Only noble people will not benefit themselves but only benefit others. Qin Zhiyuan is serious.
Well, you are indeed very noble, so can you please be more noble and pity the poor German people who are struggling in dire straits. William III was also serious and said the purpose of his trip as if he was joking.
Are you planning to abdicate in favor of me? Qin Zhiyuan is still indifferent. Watch William III's expression carefully.
I'm serious. William III rolled his eyes.
If you don't say that this person is an aristocrat, even if you roll your eyes, you will do so gracefully, and you will not feel much disgust. Instead, you will have strange thoughts like self-blame.
Of course, Qin Zhiyuan didn't feel much self-blame in his heart. After receiving confirmation from William III, Qin Zhiyuan ate slowly, and after a while he slowly said: I think you should agree to the recommendations of the Dawes Committee.
.
The Dawes Committee, which was actually two committees, was set up specifically to solve the German reparations issue. One of them studied ways to balance the German budget and stabilize German finance, and the other investigated the outflow of German capital and designed ways to bring it back.
The two special committees were chaired by American banker C.G. Dawes, so they were called the Dawes Committee.
Just a month ago, the Dawes Committee finally issued a prescription for restoring the German economy, which was the Dawes Plan.
The plan attempted to use the method of restoring the German economy to ensure Germany's payment of reparations. Its main contents were: the Allied Powers supervised the reorganization of the Deutsche Bank, implemented currency reforms, and the Allied Powers loaned 800 million gold marks equivalent to 190 million U.S. dollars to stabilize its currency system.
When the total amount has not yet been finalized, the annual limit for German reparations is stipulated, starting from 1 billion gold marks in the first year, that is, 1924 to 1925, and increasing year by year, and will increase by the fifth year, that is, 1928.
Annual payment of 2.5 billion gold marks.
The financial resources for Germany to pay the compensation come from tariffs, tobacco, alcohol, sugar, monopoly taxes, railway revenue, and industrial and commercial enterprise taxes. In order to pay the compensation, Germany will issue 11 billion gold marks in railway bonds and 5 billion gold marks in industrial bonds.
After this, Germany's financial foreign exchange railway operations and tax collection affairs will be subject to international supervision.
Accept it, no, no, I absolutely cannot accept it. You should have seen that plan. It is not to restore the German economy at all, but to completely control Germany. If our financial, foreign exchange, railway operations and tax system are subject to international supervision,
So what secrets does Germany have? This is like stripping off your underwear and letting people visit. I absolutely cannot accept such a plan. After William III finished speaking, he was still a little unfinished. He drank the champagne in front of him in one breath and smashed the heavy glass on the table.
, then stood up angrily: Let that damn Dawes plan go to hell.
It seems that William III has indeed been under great ideological pressure during this period. William III was such a gentle and gentle person in the past, but now he has learned to use foul language. It's really damning.
Just regulate. Do you think Germany still has many secrets for the international community? It is just financial and government operations and does not involve the military. This is not unacceptable. Qin Zhiyuan was a bit sincere. For the sake of Germany,
Qin Zhiyuan was also worried about it.
You said it very lightly. If someone wanted to supervise Lanfang's financial and tax system, would you agree that William III wanted Qin Zhiyuan to think in his shoes?
William III did not mention the railway system, because the railway system in Lanfang is really not very developed. Lanfang is a country composed of islands, and shipping is the most developed. Railways are only available in the northern Xinjiang.
It depends on the situation. If the price paid by that person is high enough, it is not impossible. Qin Zhiyuan can think about it.
It’s no good if you can’t think about it. The situation Germany is facing now is pretty good. After the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the Qing Empire went through international supervision that was even more ridiculous than the Dawes Plan, and some of it was imposed by Germany.
