"Do you think that if I give them democracy, they can live happily ever after?" Yang Feng said to Xue Fucheng with a smile.
Old Xue Tou is worried that this will make Hawaii difficult to control. After all, there can only be three pillars there now, and the Chinese are only one of the three. More importantly, with the gradual development of the country, the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong, which were originally the main sources of immigrants,
People no longer like to leave their homes. In other words, as time goes by, the proportion of Chinese in Hawaii will definitely become smaller and smaller. The indigenous people will definitely control the country with their votes, and then they will have their own ideas.
.
"What do you mean?" Old Xue Tou said doubtfully. As the staunchest supporter of constitutionalism, he still couldn't understand that democracy was sometimes a very destructive weapon, more effective than cannons in destroying cities and countries.
"Native Hawaiians and Japanese are very poor. The Chinese are slightly better off in this regard. Almost all the wealth is in the hands of white people. But now that the indigenous people are in power, will they be willing to watch white people continue to exploit them? No, they will find ways to
Exploit white people, but will white people who have always been arrogant and consider themselves superior people tolerate the rule of people they regard as inferior people? No, they will try their best to resist, including the use of force, especially when
When they can't achieve their goals with votes.
You see, I did give them democracy, and now the whole world is praising my selflessness, but what they don’t know is that this is the beginning of the disaster in Hawaii." Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Then you still want Chen Fang to be prime minister?" Xue Fucheng said puzzledly.
"Why not? When Chen Fang is Prime Minister, I will let the fleet stay there. Do you think that even if there is a conflict between the Hawaiians, they dare not listen to Chen Fang's orders under the threat of artillery? When our fleet stays there
When Chen Fang's two-year term ends, he will temporarily leave Hawaii, and our fleet will also temporarily leave. The suppressed conflicts will be like a volcano.
Erupt.
The Americans will never be willing to give up Hawaii. This is not only a strategic issue. There are also economic benefits. Hawaii provides nearly 30% of the cane sugar to the United States, second only to Cuba in proportion. This is a big business. American capitalists
We may not fight for our country, but we will definitely not fight for money. Openly attacking Hawaii will offend us. But the white people who support Hawaii behind the scenes are inevitable, and the Russians will also want to get involved there, and then add more
With us, Hawaii will become a battlefield in the future. Such a place can be easily destroyed if you are not careful. When they struggle in the quagmire of chaos, they will reminisce about the happy life of Chen Fang's era. At that time, we
If we go to take over Hawaii, it will be a matter of course." Yang Feng said with a smile.
In the final analysis, he is not very interested in who owns Hawaii, as long as it does not belong to the Americans. If the Russians pay high enough to give Hawaii to them, imagine what Nikolai will do with this stepping stone.
How about enduring the temptation of America? It can be said that this emperor has completely tasted the sweetness of expansion in recent years. The rich American continent is more than a hundred times stronger than Japan and the Philippines.
The Russians currently have 100,000 troops stationed in Hokkaido and Aomori. They have increased their troops to 120,000 in Luzon. Even so, they cannot completely eliminate the Philippine Liberation Army led by Aguinaldo and Liu Enzhu. In addition, a new star is rising in the north.
.This man calls himself after the revolutionary leader Boniface who died gloriously. So far, he has gathered more than 20,000 monkeys, fighting around in the dense mountain forests, constantly attacking the Russian garrison. This poor island is almost
Fighting occurs every day. Due to the continuous war, the number of monkeys on Luzon Island has dropped by one-third, and even the number of workers working in the Russian rubber plantations has begun to be insufficient.
Because Russian immigrants don't like the hot environment there, the Russian government has even begun to recruit laborers from Japan and Africa. The method is basically the same as that of pig traders in China. The arrival of these people has further aggravated the problem on the island.
The situation is chaotic. But in general, Nikola still made a fortune. You must know that rubber is the most popular commodity now. The total global automobile production is expected to exceed one million this year. The entire Southeast Asia is investing crazily in rubber plantations, but the output is still in short supply.
Prices continued to rise, and colonists from various countries in Southeast Asia were making crazy profits. Even Liu Mingchuan began to plant rubber plantations on Hainan Island.
The value of Luzon Island determines that Nicholas will never let go. His 120,000 troops will continue to be dragged there, as will the garrison in northern Japan. In the past two years, the Japanese have been slowly recovering their strength.
With the secret support of the British, the Japanese Army has increased to three divisions. Once they have sufficient capabilities, they will definitely regain the lost territory. The 100,000 Russian troops must always be wary of the Japanese, because of the limitations of transportation conditions.
The Russians in the Far East can only maintain an army of 300,000 people at most. In the vast land from Lake Baikal in the west to Vladivostok in the east, the total number of Russian troops does not exceed 100,000. This strength will not pose any threat to China.
Of course, if we can draw Nicholas's attention to the Americas, this is still a good choice. The war between the United States and Russia will be an extremely attractive sight.
The U.S. Congress is still discussing Yang Feng's deal, and there has been no result from the discussion. There is nothing worthy of attention on the Cuban battlefield for the time being. Merritt has fully shifted to defense, and Bolawesia has no interest in attacking them. The two sides are in Havana.
There was a stalemate on the outside. Schefter's march to San Diego was also full of hardships. At his current speed, he estimated that it would take a year to get there. Only the Texas Independence Brigade led by Johnson, plus the remnants of the Rough Cavalry,
, there is also the Cuban Revolutionary Army, which is still conquering cities in western Cuba, making him like a star in the United States, like a military god. Countless American girls are full of fantasies about this guy.
Dewey and Cervera are still playing hide-and-seek at sea. The two guys are fighting wits and giving full play to their military commanding talents. For the time being, neither one can do anything to the other. It is estimated that the United States and Spain will not be able to truly establish a relationship until the hurricane season is over.
They were going to have a decisive battle. In this case, Yang Feng had no interest in paying attention to them.
There is nothing to pay attention to in the rest of the country. All the army departments have been deployed. At this time, the country is actually under his control. The navy has recently added four Soryu-class cruisers, in addition to four thousand-ton class large destroyers, and two Swedish ones.
Two 7,000-ton armored cruisers in Mawei are about to be completed. At the same time, four 15,000-ton diesel battleships are also starting construction in both places. After the Jiangnan Shipyard has been renovated, it has also begun construction of Soryu-class cruisers.
Just like this, he beat his children on a rainy day and was idle. Prince Yang, who felt bored looking around, finally extended his claws back to the Middle East.
"Your Highness agreed to help us recapture Riyadh?" Ibn Saud was almost stunned by this happy news. He had been waiting for this day for many years.
"The prince said, not only will I help you recapture Riyadh, but I will also help you recapture the entire Najd and restore the Najd Kingdom that belongs to your Saudi family. Of course, the premise is that you must sign an agreement with the Gulf Oil Company. From now on, the Najd Kingdom will
The mineral exploration and exploitation rights of all lands belong to Gulf Oil. Gulf Oil will donate one-tenth of its shares to the Saudi family. There are also some preferential conditions in terms of tax rates. There will be a dedicated person in charge of negotiating with you." Yang Feng's Kuwait
Ma Biao, commander of the Independent Brigade, said.
He was originally a subordinate of Zuo Guogui. After withdrawing from North Korea, the Fengjun army basically fell apart, so he defected to Song Qing, who was also from Penglai. Later, he received two years of education in the military academy as a mid-level officer. After graduation, Yang Feng happened to be selected to garrison in the Middle East.
Commander, he was promoted to brigade commander and led five thousand cavalry to be stationed in Kuwait.
These five thousand people were all Muslims. They were all recruited from places like Shandong and Hebei. After half a year of recruit training, they were then sent to Kuwait. Now this small fishing port on the seaside has become a famous city in the Middle East.
A grand mosque is about to be built, and it is said that after its completion, the current Caliph, Ottoman Emperor Hamid II, will personally come to preside over the inauguration ceremony.
Neither Ibn Saud nor his father Abdullah had any objections to Yang Feng's request. Anyway, they would be political refugees forever if Najd was not taken back. Without Yang Feng, others would not support them. In this case, what else is there?
It’s so hesitant, and besides, we haven’t heard of any oil anywhere in Najd yet. In the past two years, many exploration teams have been searching hard in the desert, but in the end they all returned empty-handed.
Gulf Oil Company, headquartered in Kuwait, quickly signed an agreement with Abdullah and his son. This oil company is still just a headquarters and does not have any oil fields in its hands. This has long puzzled all countries. You must know that this is very inconsistent.
Prince Yang's style. Imperial Oil, a joint venture between him, the Rothschild family, Britain's Prince Victor, and the King of Persia, has now successively won two super-large oil fields, and both oil fields were discovered under his guidance.
Yes, there is no reason why Gulf Oil, which he owns solely, will get nothing.
Of course, it is strange that all parties are somewhat happy to see this upstart fail in investing again. The last time he failed in investing was five years ago. At that time, he still got a large piece of wasteland in Western Australia.
, it cannot be considered a serious loss, but Gulf Oil is completely losing money. Its subordinate exploration team, like the exploration teams sent by most European investors, found nothing in the desert.
After settling the agreement, the three thousand cavalry led by Ma Biao and the Saudi family's own fifty cavalry officially left Kuwait, and then headed for Riyadh in a majestic manner under the banner of national restoration.
