1890 King of Southeast Asia

"What is strong? The stronger the power, the more democratic, the farther the range, the more free, the more the caliber is, the thicker the armor, the more human rights, the more equal the tonnage, the faster the rate of fire, and the more the turrets are Ming stood on the podium and scolded Fang Yan.

"The next goal is to establish South China as a naval power to defend the marine interests of the South China foundation ..."

This is two years of great cause, that is, in June 1902, the South China Military and Political Expansion Conference, the participants were from the army and the government.

"Steel production has risen for 11 consecutive years. It is expected that this year's output will exceed 4 million tons of steel and 7 million tons of iron ..."

"The scale of industrial workers has been expanding, and the dividend of basic education has continued to expand. Educators who have received junior high schools have exceeded 3 million and more than 150,000 college students ..."

"Last year's total product value exceeded 103 billion yuan, and it is expected to reach 16 billion this year ..."

"Economically, the contribution rate of Arabia has risen year by year, and its oil industry is indispensable. In order to maintain the stability of many provinces in Arabia, one navy that can ensure sovereignty is indispensable ..."

Xu Hui said various data, explaining South China's demand for the powerful navy.

"The total number of troops in many provinces in Arabic provinces is about 30,000. After pushing by the General Staff's soldiers, these forces can only deal with small -scale conflicts with Ottoman and cannot respond to the attack of false enemies." Wang Yang said euphemistically.

"There are three warships in the navy's ocean warplays, but one of them is an old -fashioned battleship, Britain, Germany, and Tsarist Russia. They are all developing their own new warships." Zhao Jiaxing directly named.

"We get reliable intelligence, the British new battleship is nearing completion, and the final outfit is underway. In the long run, our troops are still inadequate ..."

The army was crying, and the 6th army stared at the Navy. Isn't it enough to get 70 % of the military expenses?

"We can't lose the provincial provinces of Arabia. We can't bear this risk." The Ministry of Finance first entered the Internet.

There is no way, 20%of South China ’s industrial production capacity is related to the petrochemical industry. Although Brunei also has oil, who would be too much?

In addition, the high -speed development of South China is also based on low energy prices. Eastern and diesel is divided into computing units, agriculture, industry, transportation, and a large number of cars as tools to promote productivity.

The United States is the first country to complete agricultural mechanization. After the Civil War, it was gradually completed. South China was the second, and it was mechanical motivation such as tractors.

More than 90%of Nanhua's grain production has tractors to participate and lose Arabia? People who are engraved with the food crisis are unacceptable. I'm afraid there are Brunei Oilfield!

"The United Kingdom has always been hostile to us. I recommend maintaining pressure on Suez. The heavy soldiers gathered in Sumatra. The 1rds changed, cut off the port, and attacked India with heavy soldiers." Lin Anmin also said.

"In the past, our strategy was passive defense. There was no way. The Navy was not enough to deal with Japanese threats. Since the launch of the Great Han -class battleship, the situation has changed. In the future nod.

"Because the Arab region is far away from the islands and the desert is widely set, a war occurs in 1 dharma, which will focus on mobile defense.

We hope to expand the influence in the Mesopotamian region, and it is best to control 1 part of food and land. "Xie Hui threw out the request of the 6th Army.

"Cough!" Lin Anmin coughed 1.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is discussing the treaty with the rulers of Mesopotamia Emirpa. If it is not smooth, some of the content will be achieved within the month." Essence

..............

Mesopotamia Plain, Lin Pingzhi frowned and looked at the ruler of the plain -Emirpa.

"My friend, I am willing to help you, but you have to know that this is not a trivial matter." Lin Pingzhi's heart scolded this idiot.

As a traditional nobleman, Emir inherited the Osman nobles' 1 -cutting tradition, straw bags, brutal internal, and chairing to the outside world -these have nothing to do with South China.

"My respecting friends, I can only exchange food with food. You also need food. I just give the food for the food next year to your country. Isn't that the future of futures?" Emir Pa's face was charming.

Lin Pingzhi arrived more than two months ago.

If you want to indirectly control a country, there is no better way to control infrastructure.

Some people say that finance is the era of gold. It is extremely difficult to cross gold to control finance. It is too much cost to control finance through gold!

In the final analysis, the dominant status of the US dollar is also a special status of its trade settlement. Everyone believes that the purchasing power of the US dollar linked to oil -but in this era, people only believe in gold.

"One thing that is very difficult to cross is that if we control the production, the people under your men may not be very willing to accept it." Lin Pingzhi's euphemistic and Emirpa said.

Emir intends to pay a large -scale arms order in the next 3 years. Buy food, no problem, sell arms, and sell.

However, Emir hopes to be responsible for production by Nanhua himself.

It must be said that in the Ottoman region, the number of farmers responsible for production is not as large as the number of slaves responsible for production. If Nanhua wants to organize production, how should slaves be calculated?

What do other countries think of controlling the food in this region?

After the oil production in the Arab region, Britain is frantically drilling wells around Nanhua’s territory. The Mesopotamian Plain belongs to Nanhua’s sphere of influence. No British people have come in for the time being, but once the Emir’s counter-insurgency operation is frustrated, the British may intervene.

After all, according to legal principles, the Mesopotamian Plain is the territory of the Ottoman Empire.

"We need weapons to suppress the rebellion. The rebels have messed up the entire plain. There are problems with agricultural production. The wheat fields have been burned, which will also affect the interests of your country." The Emir restrained himself.

"We can provide weapons, but we cannot directly interfere with the management of your government. As for agricultural issues, we can accept food payments, but we need certain guarantees." Lin Pingzhi thought about it and thought of a compromise.

"Guarantee?" The Emir looked at Lin Pingzhi curiously.

"How about using tariffs as collateral?" Lin Pingzhi said.

"No!" Emir rejected it excitedly.

Emir's money mainly comes from tariffs. As for agricultural taxes, most of them are intercepted by local governments. For him, that little income is negligible.

"Then let's adjourn for the time being. Please consider it from many aspects. I have many things to report to the country. The plan you give may not be accepted by the country." Lin Pingzhi said softly.

"Okay... I hope your country can reconsider. The British are also contacting us. Considering our traditional friendship, we put forward conditions to your country." Emir said with regret.

Lin Pingzhi left without changing his face. He didn't say it to the secretary angrily until he was far away from the Emir's palace.

"This stupid and corrupt Ottoman should have been swept into the garbage dump long ago. Is he threatening us? What right does he have?" Lin Pingzhi was a little exasperated.

"If the British intervene in this matter, it is likely to cause unpredictable changes. Should this matter be reported to the country?" The secretary said calmly.

"Let's write the report now. Without domestic assistance, it will be difficult for us to deal with any changes. We are afraid that the British will form a fait accompli. The guards are on alert at all times." Lin Pingzhi scratched his head.

"The telegram forwarded by Kuwait comes from Sishui and is urgently encrypted." The clerk walked in with a document.

Lin Pingzhi took the document and deciphered the serial number according to the code: "Zhongyong."

The secretary immediately found Zhongyong (a book) from the suitcase.

"Create an excuse to control part of the Mesopotamian Plain and grant authority for small-scale wars." Lin Pingzhi translated it word by word.

"What's wrong?" The secretary looked at the shocked Lin Pingzhi.

"The domestic policy has changed, increasing the intensity of intervention in Mesopotamia, and not hesitating to cause a non-frontal military conflict." Lin Pingzhi looked at the secretary.

"This is an opportunity! A ready-made opportunity." The secretary took a breath and stared.

"Go back now?" the secretary asked.

"No! Leave him alone first! He doesn't dare to gamble, otherwise he won't tell us the news of the British." Lin Pingzhi waved his hand.

"Let's discuss how to gain the most benefits. Our strategic goal this time is big, but the enemy is also very strong." Lin Pingzhi put down the file.

"Do you want to apply for support first? The Oman Division currently has no combat missions, and there are tanks being tested in Kuwait."

"Send a telegram to Oman, requesting support, can the navy come up?" Lin Pingzhi thought of his way to come.

"The first generation of destroyers can enter, but I suggest using the gunboats of the coastal defense force, which have strong firepower and are more flexible.

In diplomacy, this is not considered a formal deployment of the navy, but only an auxiliary force of the 6th Army." The secretary said.

"Send a telegram to request more support and intelligence authority. We need to know how many British people there are in Mesopotamia." Lin Pingzhi nodded.

...

"The 2nd Gunboat Squadron, go north along the river, the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division of Oman will move to Kuwait and be ready to go at any time! In addition, the road from Kuwait to Baghdad will be explored and material supply points will be established along the way." Zheng Lei took the telegram from Sishui.

"Should the tank unit prepare for the attack?" the staff officer asked.

"The transport vehicles are ready and can arrive within ten days. Order them to prepare." Zheng Lei shook his head.

!

Tanks are classified as Level 2 confidential. If they can be used, they should be used. The 2nd Division of the 6th Army of South China and the 2nd Squadron of the Navy Cruisers are preparing and setting off urgently.

"Do you think the French would mind using second-hand goods?" Liu Yiming suddenly had an idea.

"?" Wang Yang looked at him in confusion.

"Contact the French. Out of traditional friendship, South China is willing to sell the three airships in service..."
