Nicholas must not be reconciled to such a huge loss. France was about to be destroyed before. At that time, he had no other choice but to admit it. But now that France has turned the corner, and the British have also gone all out, then
Of course he has to work hard. But Russia is indeed out of money now. All their gold has gone to China. Millions of Russian soldiers are almost equipped with Chinese-made weapons, tanks, cannons, machine guns and even soldiers' uniforms.
The canned goods are all Chinese products, the dead cats and dogs in the garbage dump and even the toads left after making toad cakes are used by those black-hearted businessmen to make luncheon meat and feed it to the gray livestock.
At this time, Russia's blood was really sucked dry by China, otherwise Nicholas would not have been forced to send his wife to Yang Feng's bed in exchange for a loan. Although the Russians did not care about this matter, in the international arena
The impact will ultimately be bad.
In this way, in order for the blood of Russia to continue to flow, Yang Feng had to reluctantly give him a hand.
Nicholas did not hesitate for too long. Besides, as Yang Feng said, the Japanese colonies not only had no value to him, but also became a burden. Originally, Aomori and Sapporo were captured for the Pacific Fleet to use as fortresses, but now his mind
The base was put there after being kicked by a donkey. Didn't you see that even the British are avoiding China?
The homeport of the Russian Pacific Fleet is now in Manila. The Japanese colony only has a few old-fashioned steam-powered warships. However, in order to prevent the Japanese from retaking Aomori, it has to station nearly 100,000 troops there. Under the current circumstances, the force of this force
The waste is simply intolerable.
Since Yang Feng wants it, let's do it as a favor.
Of course, it cannot be given directly to China, it must be sold to China. The price does not matter, any amount is fine. Anyway, he has to borrow a billion yuan from Yang Feng. In this way, China and Russia were hosted by Emperor Yang and the Empress of Russia in Beijing.
Under the personal chairmanship, the treaty was formally signed. Russia sold Hokkaido and the Southern Kuril Islands, which Japan ceded to Russia during the Russo-Japanese War, to China, and also sold the lease rights for the remaining period of the Aomori lease for a total price of 10 million yuan.
Yuan. Of course, the loan of one billion yuan cannot be made public.
As for the loan, it is very simple. First of all, this is a Huayuan loan. Such a loan must not be in gold. Although Huayuan is a gold standard, China has banned gold from leaving the country at this time. Even the People's Bank of China must abide by the law. So.
To say that this money is nothing more than opening an account with the Russian Ministry of Finance at the People's Bank of China. Then signing the number of one billion Chinese dollars into the account. As for the rest, it is the work of the printing factory. This loan is to be used
Purchasing supplies in China is nothing more than the People's Bank of China printing billions of Chinese yuan in banknotes, and then paying these banknotes to Chinese businessmen who sell supplies to Russia. Considering that most of these businessmen deposit their money in the People's Bank of China, there are still many
Most of the orders came from the Yang Group. In fact, in the end, the People's Bank of China didn't even need to print one billion in banknotes, and probably didn't even need 100 million.
Although this loan was secret, the impossibly secret deal of Russia selling its Japanese colonies soon became semi-public. This news caused a huge sensation in the world, and Emperor Yang expressed his feelings towards Alexander.
While the Queen fell in love with her, all parties could not help but begin to speculate on the meaning. One billion Chinese dollars, if converted according to the gold standard, would be equivalent to Emperor Yang paying 300 tons of gold to his old lady at once, so
The generosity is absolutely shocking.
Of course, they didn't know that Emperor Yang actually printed less than 100 million Chinese yuan in banknotes in the end.
Such a generous move must not be considered solely based on his friendship with Queen Alexandra. Anyone with any sense knows that the little bed exercise between the adulterous couple is definitely not worth the price. As for that,
The little bit of land in Japan is not as valuable as the little thing in the bed between the two of them! It is obvious that China is showing its own tendency. Although Yang Feng was the Allied Powers, the Allies, and the Allies before, it can be said that the whole world was turned upside down.
It was so frustrating that he would die, but at that time, all he was doing was imaginary, just creating momentum and stirring up public opinion. This time it was different, he was really spending money, and he thought of taking it from Emperor Yang's pocket.
With the difficulty of money, it becomes clear what such a huge amount of money means.
For a time, the whole world was once again stirred up by his loan.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Yang Feng. He can't even care about serving his wife at this time, so he doesn't care about the outside world's speculation about this.
As for China's acceptance of Hokkaido and Aomori, it's very simple. After learning that they will become Chinese in the future, the Japanese there can almost cry with joy. They have been living under Russian rule in these years and have been complaining.
They are worse than horses and cows, especially those miners in Hokkaido who are stained with blood and tears. Now, the Chinese are here, and they are finally liberated. When the Chinese officials responsible for taking over these two places arrived, they were almost overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the Japanese.
They were overwhelmed, especially the garrison soldiers. When they walked onto the street, almost Japanese girls threw themselves into their arms.
As for the management of these two places, due to their different natures, Hokkaido was directly set as the Hokkai Province under the Chinese Empire, while Aomori continued its original identity, the Aomori Leased Territory, but changed from the Russian Leased Territory to the Chinese Leased Territory, plus it was transferred from the British
With the Kitakyushu concession obtained, China now has two concessions in Japan. In this world war that has been going on for three years, although China has not yet participated in the war, its territory has increased by nearly 700,000 square kilometers, taking advantage of the situation.
To this extent, it is quite jaw-dropping.
The Kitakyushu Concession, the Chhe Mong Hung Protectorate, Northern Burma, Jiangdong No. 64, Lanfang Province, the Laos Protectorate, the Khmer Protectorate, Hokkai Province, and the Aomori Concession were all obtained without a single shot.
However, these still cannot satisfy the younger generation of China who are ambitious to restore the glory of the Chinese Empire, especially since many of them are protectorates, which are far from the direct territory.
During this period, as the people's wisdom became enlightened, ordinary people gradually understood that they could do a lot of things with the voter cards in their hands. Some of the more radical young people began to enter the House of Commons and even the House of Lords in large numbers, and the conservative power of the old people was being diluted by them.
Under the leadership of these young congressmen, Congress is currently negotiating with those protectorates, requiring them to directly become states of the empire. This even includes Vietnam, which has a special status. In fact, the main target of the negotiations is Vietnam, including Vietnam.
Congress itself also has this desire. In short, a wave of enthusiasm for expanding territory is continuing to heat up in China.
Of course, these are all under the connivance of Emperor Yang. He likes an aggressive China and has been working towards this goal over the years. Now that his efforts have borne fruit, of course he welcomes it.
After sending his wife away and letting her return to Russia with countless arms for her husband to bleed for her cousin, Emperor Yang got another piece of news that made him happy. Another country in South America couldn't hold it back.
Participating in the war was not joining the Allies, nor was it joining the Entente, nor was it even declaring war on any party.
The Colombian government announced the abolition of the agreement signed under the threat of German and Russian colonists, and regained the Russian leased land in Antioquia and Cordoba provinces in northern Colombia, and also recovered the German leased land in Barranquilla.
It should be said that the Colombians were very shrewd in their calculations. First of all, there were no decent troops in either the Russian or German concessions. The German army only had one symbolic battalion in Barranquilla. In fact, William had no interest in this distant colony that he picked up for free.
There is no interest. As for the special economic status of the Russian Concession, the Russian army still has one division stationed there, and another division in the Dominican Republic. This is all the Russian Army's troops in the Caribbean. Even with this amount of troops,
The current strength of Colombia is nothing more than a simple push back from the past. In recent years, stimulated by the hatred brought by the colonists, the Colombians have worked hard and trained an elite army of 150,000 people. Even many officers are from China.
Returned from studying abroad.
In the current war situation in Europe, it is not safe to rely on either side. In this case, it is better not to rely on both sides. Now it is not declaring war, but just taking back the leased land. This is equivalent to telling the outside world that Colombia does not want to join any side, but just wants to get back its own territory.
occupied territory, but if either Germany or Russia declares war on Colombia, it will be equivalent to pushing Colombia into the arms of the other.
You must know that Colombia is not fighting alone. Behind them are almost all the coastal countries in South America that have been wary of new colonists in recent years, especially Venezuela, which is just around the corner. They all followed Bolivar to resist the colonists.
We have fought side by side. The last time Germany and Russia invaded Colombia, Venezuela had already sent troops to rescue them, but they were frightened back by the casualties of the Colombians.
If Russia declares war on Colombia, they will have no choice but to turn to the Allies. If Germany declares war on Colombia, they will inevitably turn to the Allies. In the former, they can join forces with Argentina, which has already joined the Allies, and with the help of the Argentine Navy, they can sweep away Britain, France, and Russia in the Caribbean.
They even landed in Africa eastward. The combined population of these three countries exceeds 15 million. With their strength, it will not be a problem to bulldoze all the colonies of Britain and France in Africa.
The latter would be a disaster for the Allies. The British could directly transport Colombian and Venezuelan troops to Europe to participate in the war. It would be very easy for these two countries to mobilize four armies. (To be continued)
