"If land is not available, we will send him by sea. We will send him a ship. He must fight to California no matter what. Only when the war is over can we send troops there on the grounds of protecting the overseas Chinese..." Yang Feng said without hesitation.
"Also tell Santos that he must win New Mexico and Arizona before the end of this year. This is related to my trust in him. If he cannot complete this task, then I will leave it to others to complete." After thinking about it, he continued.
Said, if Santos cannot win these two places, then he will let the Confederacy instigate these two states to secede from the United States and join the Confederacy. Under the military threat of Mexico, the residents of these two states will make wise choices.
"Your Majesty, do you want to..." Yuan Shikai said with some confusion. He really didn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor was so anxious. At this time, Arizona and New Mexico were just barren lands with only a few settlements, except for a few silver mines and copper mines.
, it can be said that it has almost no value.
"It's very simple. I want to build an oil pipeline across these states and pump the crude oil produced in Texas and Louisiana directly to the ports on the Pacific coast. Then our oil tankers will be loaded there. It will be ready next year at the latest.
Start exploring the route and strive to complete it in 2005," Yang Feng said. The plastic industry has driven countless industries based on this, such as juice processing, which uses plastic bottles. Orange juice with a large amount of preservatives is added.
Ships are shipped to Europe, and the popularity of orange juice has led to the emergence of a large number of orange plantations in the south. Many oranges that could only rot in the mountains are now treasures. This industry chain alone supports millions of people.
And it’s still growing like a snowball.
The emergence of greenhouses is also arousing enthusiastic pursuit throughout Europe, especially in cold Russia. Now if any Russian nobles and wealthy businessmen do not build a greenhouse to eat fresh vegetables and fruits in the severe cold of dozens of degrees below zero, it is simply a waste.
It will become a laughing stock in social situations. And this is just a branch of the petrochemical industry. Gulf Oil is currently building a new type of rayon production line in China. In Emperor Yang's words, this thing will also make the world crazy. In addition to these, there are
There are chemical fertilizers, and it is said that synthetic rubber is also being developed. It can be said that the future is bright, but it is all based on the same thing.
Cheap crude oil.
There is currently only one Shandong oil field in China. Although the output will reach a record of 5 million tons this year, the import volume of crude oil this year may exceed 10 million tons. Countless oil tankers are being launched at major domestic shipyards.
Then shuttled between China and the Ottoman Empire.
Although the development of oil fields in East Texas and Shreveport has brought down the rapidly rising oil prices, China has not been able to enjoy these benefits. The reason is simple: transportation costs are too high, and the crude oil there is exported to China.
You can only go to Los Angeles by rail, and you have to pay a lot of freight and taxes to Americans. At this time, China-US relations are not good friends. All kinds of deliberately set obstacles make the road from American oil to China full of thorns, not to mention rail transportation.
The transportation volume is small and cannot meet China's rapidly growing oil demand.
If there is such an oil pipeline, cheap crude oil from the Americas can continuously flow into China. In order to see this happen as soon as possible, those capitalists will definitely not mind starting another war.
In the distant port of Tampico, Mexico, countless Americans are suffering in fear and despair. Surrounded by the guns and roars of 400,000 Mexicans, countless American ships in the port are operating regardless of the danger of overloading and capsizing.
The U.S. soldiers crowded in the port were picked up on the ship. The shells roared across the sky, and then huge fireballs exploded on the shore, taking away the lives of countless U.S. soldiers.
On the American warship, the cannons were also roaring continuously, desperately blocking the attacking Mexican army.
So far, only half of the 200,000 U.S. troops gathered in this port have been transported away. At least 100,000 people are still stranded here. Many are even fighting bitterly with the Mexicans, sacrificing their lives to win the retreat for the people in the port.
Chances are, although the new U.S. President Bryan has mobilized almost all the transportation capabilities he can mobilize for the Americans' Dunkirk evacuation, the size of the Tampico port determines that this is an extremely difficult task.
, not to mention the crazy attack of 400,000 Mexican troops on the outside.
In order to speed up the retreat, he even had to adopt an extremely humiliating method. The retreating US troops did not withdraw to American territory, but to the nearest port owned by the Confederacy, where they handed over their weapons to the Confederate army and took the train as refugees.
To return to the United States, of course the U.S. government had to pay the Confederate government $20 million to buy the way.
"The glory of the past, the dreams of the past, everything has gone with the wind, and the ambitions of the United States of America will forever end in this small port." Lieutenant General Miles, the commander-in-chief of the retreat, said somewhat sadly.
"Perhaps those are not what we should have in the first place. As President Bryan said, we have been on the wrong path for too long. Now we are just correcting it. The war is about to end, and now we can finally return to where I am.
farm in Illinois." A general next to him was not as pessimistic as he was.
"End? You are too naive. This is a world where the jungle is predatory. If you don't disturb the lions' hunting, you think you can hide and eat grass quietly. Little do you know that if you don't want to be a predator, you will only become the prey.
Predators, those ferocious beasts with sharp teeth and claws, will not show any mercy. It is purely a dream to expect that if you break off the claws and claws, you will gain their mercy. The United States does not want to become the target of plunder by the colonists again.
Then we can only turn ourselves into colonists, a pastoral era, a beautiful dream, and it won’t be long before the invaders’ iron hooves trample our land.” Myers said with a sneer.
I have to say that the former top commander of the U.S. Army was still very clear-headed, because when he said this, the invaders had already arrived, and Santos had received Emperor Yang's order to invade the United States. At this time, the current
The President of the Republic of Mexico, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, is personally directing the attack on Tampico.
"Well, since it is the request of His Majesty the Emperor, then I and the Mexican people are very happy to serve him." Looking at the telegram in his hand, he smiled and said to the manager of JY Company who sent the telegram.
Of course he welcomes such a good thing. The slogan he shouted before was to lead the Mexican people to regain the land taken by the United States. Although it was just a slogan at that time, now with the victory of the war against the United States, many Mexicans have
There was a real cry for this, but it was the geographical barriers that blocked them. Now that the Chinese are providing direct help, it will naturally be smooth sailing.
"But before that, you have to first purchase these ships, including some supporting warships. I think Mexico now needs a naval fleet that can protect itself very much. If it has a navy, like this situation,
You can wipe out the American invaders instead of letting them escape," the manager said with a smile.
"That's true, but even you know that my government's finances are very tight now. After all, we have been at war for many years," Santos said.
"This is very simple. The People's Bank of China should be very willing to provide you and the Mexican people with the help it can. Of course, you need to come up with certain exchange items. After all, this is a business behavior and the rules cannot be broken." The manager said.
"So what do you get in exchange?" Santos said.
"Your Excellency, do you think the current monetary order in your country is too chaotic? I think it is best for a country to have only one banknote-issuing bank. Only in this way can a country's economy develop soundly. For example, in the Confederation, you see, because there is only one banknote-issuing bank.
A banknote-issuing bank. This country’s economy can be said to be unique in the entire Americas. The number of illegal immigrants who risk their lives to smuggle into this country is enough to prove this. If Mexico also had only one banknote-issuing bank, it would definitely be like this.
The Confederacy has become a dazzling star in America, and I think this is also good for the people of your country. You don’t want their hard-earned money to be put into a bank that is in danger of bankruptcy at any time, right? The strength of the People’s Bank of China
It is guaranteed that there will never be a danger of bankruptcy, and this is guaranteed by the power, credibility and wealth of His Majesty the Emperor of China, and of course His Majesty’s powerful army,” the manager said.
"That's true, but I still need to discuss it with the People's Committee." His Excellency the President, who now has more than 7 million pounds in deposits in the People's Bank, said solemnly.)
