However, he can still guess Nikolai's little thoughts. After all, this is an era where people will not be punished for their own sake. It is understandable to betray others for a small amount of money for one's own interests, but it only hurts the poor Serbian people. There is nothing that can be done about it.
, who told little chess pieces like them to have such a fate!
Besides, this is their own fault. Since they are working as thugs for the Tyrannosaurus rex, they must have the consciousness to endure the bad temper of their masters. When they are dogs, they still want to gain the respect of their masters. It is just because their heads were kicked by donkeys that they will work hard to wait for their masters.
Rewarding a piece of bone is the right thing to do.
"We can't learn from them. We Chinese are all spitting and nailing. We absolutely cannot do this kind of thing. You can tell the Germans that since the Caribbean Alliance is valid for ten years, before it expires, unless Germany voluntarily withdraws
This alliance, otherwise it would be sacred and inviolable to China." This guy said to Zhang Quan righteously.
The Caribbean Alliance Treaty is indeed the issue that European countries are most concerned about now. Of course, American countries are even more concerned. This alliance is like a heavy mountain weighing on the heads of the American people, from Maine in the United States to the distant Buenos Aires.
, hundreds of millions of people in the Americas live in its shadow.
Moreover, when this treaty was signed, the validity period was ten years, and there are still four years left. Although Russia later withdrew, China, Germany and Spain continued to maintain this treaty, and also joined the Confederacy and Mexico. In fact, currently
The entire Caribbean coast is firmly in the hands of this alliance. This means that if Britain, France, and Russia attack Germany's colonies in the Caribbean, China, Spain, Mexico, and the Confederacy will automatically be involved in the war.
But if China withdraws from this alliance at this time, Spain will definitely follow suit. In that case, Britain, France and Russia will definitely not let go of Germany's colonies in this area. Especially Russia, in this round of global troop deployments
, the troops stationed in Dominica and northern Colombia did not move at all. Even the two diesel battleships in Santo Domingo did not move. The purpose is naturally self-evident. As long as China no longer provides protection for the Germans in the Caribbean,
They will take action without hesitation.
Therefore, during the recent period, Hai Jing was extremely concerned about this issue. He asked Zhang Quan countless times. You must know that the number of German troops there is not large, but there are many places that need to be protected. Haiti Protection
The concessions in Colombia and the oil fields in Guatemala were impossible to protect with only two German divisions and a few old cruisers.
In fact, he was completely overly worried about this, because not only would Emperor Yang never give up on this alliance, but he was also prepared to continue to strengthen this alliance. The reason was very simple: he had to solve a major competitor for his war fortune.
Who was fattened by the First World War?
Americans! Before the war, they owed a lot of debt to the British. Before the war was over, they had already faced their former creditors with Huang Shiren's face. From crude oil to steel, and even arms and machinery, ship after ship
When it was shipped to Europe, what was the Lusitania carrying? Just a thousand passengers? The bottom of the cabin was full of ordnance. The Germans were not wrong at all to sink it.
Not to mention other goods. The supplies that were continuously sent to Europe were exchanged for tons of gold. The United States, which originally relied on the British consortium to provide gold loans to maintain the gold standard, suddenly completed a gorgeous reversal and became a
Europeans needed their gold loans to maintain their currency system. After the war, Americans counted themselves, and because of this war, the United States suddenly gained tens of thousands of millionaires.
Such good things are simply intolerable to Emperor Yang. It is okay to make war fortune. But it must be done by Chinese people. As for Americans, they should just farm the land at home! He can't see the American industry.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to make a comeback, we must continue to suppress it. Economic methods are probably no longer possible. Countries will not care too much about price when purchasing supplies during wartime. Those methods in the past should be put aside. Now we must adopt the simplest and most important method.
The most effective means.
Such as a war of moderate scale.
The specific operation is not difficult. Just let the Confederacy or Spain provoke a conflict in North America. Even if it is not at the level of war, it is just a conflict. This task is very simple. The two sides have more than 2,000 road borders.
It can be solved by just firing a gun or a cannon any day. And because Alabama and Georgia have always been at the forefront of the confrontation in recent years, and watching the Confederate economy prospering next to them, the U.S. economy has been deteriorating.
There are thoughts of joining the Confederacy. If we instigate these two states to secede from the United States, we might actually be able to gain a war.
Then the Chinese and Spanish navies can confidently blockade U.S. ports. When the time comes, the battleships will dock outside New York Harbor, and all ships leaving the port will be inspected. Except for crops such as grain, all other items are not allowed to be exported, including crude oil.
and steel.
In this way, the European powers can be forced to purchase industrial products from China or several other neutral countries in Europe, especially companies belonging to the Yang Group. Although this will easily challenge the British bottom line, after all, one-third of their crude oil now comes from Pennsylvania.
Oil fields, American steel, and copper are also necessary to maintain the British war machine, but as long as they find good substitutes for these, they will not be pushed to an intolerable point.
Take crude oil as an example. Pennsylvania crude oil cannot be exported to Europe. Isn’t there crude oil from East Texas, Shreveport, and Mexico? There are also crude oils from the Middle East and Nigeria. These are enough for the British.
There is absolutely no risk of going to war with China over this trivial matter. Even the Central American Oil Company in the hands of the Germans can join. Anyway, even if their crude oil is produced in the event of a war, the British will never let them transport it back. In this way
It can be sold. And when buying their crude oil, you can keep the price as low as possible. They are all playing this kind of thing, and they know the cost very well. Besides, Yang Feng still has shares, giving the Germans a similar price.
They can just make a profit and then sell it to their enemies at a high price.
As for steel, it's easier. If you can't buy it from the United States, you can buy it from China! Because the steel-making plan is a bit too aggressive, it is estimated that China's steel output next year will almost achieve the eight million expected by Yang Feng.
Ton target, these can be exported. If the distance is too far, there are closer ones. Bofors and Confederate American Steel, these two together can provide more than 5 million tons of production capacity, which is enough
Support the British war machine.
Of course, if this is the case, the price of steel will definitely be more expensive. After all, this is actually equivalent to Yang Feng monopolizing the supply of steel. But it is not a big deal. Who cares about the small amount of money in a war? It is estimated that based on the current price
The British can still accept an increase of ten to eight times. Monopolies can be forgiven for being willful.
In fact, if Yang Feng blocks the ports of the United States and prohibits them from making war profits, a lot of countries will be so happy that they will laugh out of their dreams. Just like Spain, which has a certain industrial base and is so close, it will definitely make a lot of money.
Even the countries in South America have followed suit, as well as the Western Australia iron mine in the hands of Yang Feng. The current output of this iron mine is not high, because he has been controlling it to avoid attracting the covetousness of the British, but it is no longer needed.
The British are eager to buy more iron ore!
Even Emperor Yang felt that he was a little too shameless if he did this.
If you are shameless, be shameless! Getting the gold is the most important thing. What you get back at the expense of your face is the benefits. Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor is still a little conceited.
Zhang Quan never thought of His Majesty the Emperor's sinister intentions. He hurriedly went back to summon Haijing to tell him Yang Feng's decision. He also formally held a press conference and announced to the outside world that the Chinese government would continue to assume the obligations of the Caribbean Alliance. In addition, it was also on the map
The boundaries of the scope of application of this alliance are drawn above.
"With the 60th parallel west as the boundary, any attack on any of the five Caribbean Alliance countries west of this line, east of the 125th parallel, north of the 9th parallel, and south of the 49th parallel
China's actions will be regarded as a provocation to the entire alliance, and China will fulfill its alliance obligations, but outside this scope, the scope of the alliance's obligations will no longer apply." Zhang Quan pointed at the map and said seriously.
In fact, this is no longer a Caribbean alliance, it should be said to be a North American alliance. Its intentions against the United States are obvious, but it has not caused much disturbance among the European powers. With Yang Feng's principle of playing both sides, he will definitely not be in this kind of alliance.
At that time, William was sold. This was very clear to Britain, France and Russia. There was nothing surprising about his decision.
Moreover, this division of scope, apart from cutting off Russia's idea of taking the opportunity to seize German colonies, had no impact on Britain and France. In fact, Britain and France were quite happy to be able to prevent Russia from taking the opportunity to expand its sphere of influence in the Americas. As for the plan against the United States
Question, there is no need to worry about this. Emperor Yang has been racking his brains in these years to find ways to attack the United States. This is already an open secret internationally.
However, for Germany, Yang Feng’s decision can be said to be very interesting. Although it is not a timely help, it definitely fits the description of Emperor William: a noble monarch and a trustworthy friend. (To be continued, please search.
