1890 King of Southeast Asia

"The world situation is very complex, so we need to make more preparations." Xu Hui hurriedly found Liu Yiming with an international news newspaper.

The reason for the urgency was that a large number of bandits suddenly flooded into the Arab region of South China, seriously affecting the public security of the Arab region of South China.

According to tradition, the local garrison captured, expelled, and eliminated the bandits.

This aroused the enthusiasm of some Westerners who had already robbed enough and had enough food in this era.

They rushed into the Arab region of South China like a trend, took a few photos of the refugees' hardship, and then left in style.

Finally, they could use these photos to criticize, criticize South China's oppression of the "nationals", and demand that South China "give them basic rights as human beings."

It was really difficult for them. In order to have a statement, the media directly admitted that Arabia was the territory of South China, not a colony.

After all, if it comes to colonies, the scope is large. As long as there is a country with a little ability, no one is clean.

However, public opinion is indeed unfavorable to South China.

"Why didn't you block this information?" Liu Yiming rubbed his brows after reading the newspaper.

By the way, this "basic right as a human being" is very broad.

In a small sense, it is survival and freedom. In a big sense, according to human rights theory and social contract theory, autonomy and self-determination are all possible.

So he can't open this loophole.

"They are all refugees who ran in from the border." Xu Hui sat down and picked up a cigarette to light it.

"This time it was all an unprovoked disaster. The Ottoman Empire increased taxes, and the army was mobilized back and forth. Many Arabs living in the Ottoman Empire couldn't survive and sneaked in."

"The border is too long and it's all sand. It's hard to guard against scattered Arabs." Xu Hui exhaled a puff of smoke.

"They are so idle. The gossipers on the street are not as idle as them." Liu Yiming complained.

"Then what? What should we prepare? Public opinion? The Intelligence Department should have some black material about some people. How about the gossip about the French president?" Liu Yiming thought Xu Hui was disgusted.

"I mean, the Ottoman direction." Xu Hui looked at Liu Yiming, carefully observing his every expression.

"What?" A trace of surprise flashed across Liu Yiming's face.

Xu Hui was a little disappointed, Liu Yiming's expression did not look fake.

"The Ottoman Empire had just experienced a battle, and the war was restarted here. Even if it wins, it will be seriously damaged."

"Should we take this opportunity to split the Ottoman Empire? At worst, the issue of Haifa Port is still pending."

Xu Hui did not think that those unscrupulous reporters could really cause much harm to South China, but this was an excuse, an excuse for intervention.

If they advance, they can turn these bandits into an army, and if they retreat, they can also use chaos and losses as an excuse to completely take down the area around Haifa.

He did not forget that after the Ottoman Empire trained a new army, half of the new army tried to station on the border between the two countries, forcing South China to increase its troops in Arabia.

Also because of the support of the Ottomans and the British, some "rebels" would appear from time to time in Mesopotamia. Even if this land had been cleaned up by South China, there would still be "rebels."

For Xu Hui, this threat is really unsettling, and he is eager to solve this problem.

The opportunity is right in front of us! There is no need for Nanhua to take action, just blackmail, and the Ottoman Empire will definitely be in chaos.

Liu Yiming held his chin with one hand and thought about this matter seriously.

Indeed, if Nanhua suddenly took action, the Ottoman Empire would have to focus part of its energy on the south, and for it, the pressure of war would be much greater.

Nanhua doesn't even have to fight, it only needs to make certain adjustments to blackmail the war.

"We can't fight, it's too early to intervene in the war now, but we can blackmail."

"The British will not sit idly by and watch the Ottoman Empire split, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not sit idly by and watch the Balkan countries grow stronger, the Germans will stand on the side of the Ottoman Empire, and France will not make a statement at will... We can't be the first bird."

Liu Yiming touched his chin.

"The naval base in Haifa Port cannot be expanded blindly. Even if it is expanded, it must be done quietly. Don't involve Haifa in this matter."

"We will declare to the outside that we will strengthen the blockade of the border to prevent illegal immigrants. We will carry out military mobilization in the name of building a military base, with great momentum."

"Then, what is our goal?" Xu Hui hopes to build a railway from Haifa to Baghdad, so that Nanhua can bypass the Suez Canal.

Haifa-Baghdad-Basra-Persian Gulf-Indian Ocean-Sumatra.

This project was proposed a long time ago, and Xu Hui has always wanted to do it, but he has never had the opportunity.

"Mineral exploration and mining rights within 100 kilometers around Haifa, as well as the freedom to build factories."

"And Britain." Liu Yiming nodded.

"Britain?"

"That's right, the Western Region is in this place..." Liu Yiming explained to Xu Hui his envisioned land bridge plan.

"This plan cannot bypass Persia, and isn't it too... grand?" Xu Hui thought he had been used to being shocked by Liu Yiming, and would not be shocked no matter what happened.

But I was still shocked by this plan.

This is a continental plan that is somewhat similar to that of Tsarist Russia. Why did Britain fear that Tsarist Russia would continue to expand?

Because it had no way to deal with Tsarist Russia. In the struggle for sea power, Tsarist Russia was defeated, and then what? It was gone.

Tsarist Russia is essentially a super land power country. Although the Army pulls a lot, it is stronger than Britain!

And there are two countries with hundreds of millions of local population. Tsarist Russia and the Qing Empire are fighting industry and population.

The British have no way to take Tsarist Russia. Even if he has the world's number one fleet and dominates the courage of the four oceans, it will not cause much harm to Tsarist Russia.

If this plan is successful, the South China Empire will become a more powerful empire than Tsarist Russia, from near east to Northeast Asia, and no one can stop it.

"Just layout, the world situation is becoming more and more complicated. Who knows how the future is developed, and the railway can receive the border from Baghdad, and then connect with the sea method when it is appropriate."

"Maybe that day will never come, but you can't be unprepared."

Liu Yiming opened the curtains on the wall and exposed a huge world map.

There are various logos on the map. This map is almost the highest strategic secret of South China, which is so simple here.

After all, if the emperor's private office can be leaked, South China should not have much safety.

"Has it started?" Xu Hui looked at the map, part of the Huaxia, and the sign of several airships stopped. The three arrows pointed to the plateau, the Western Regions, and Mongolia.

"How is the situation of the Qing Empire?" Xu Hui asked with concern.

He also figured out that Britain, France and Germany have their own African plans. South China has no colonies in Africa. Why can't there be Asian plans?

"The Qing Empire is already the grasshopper after the autumn. The staff department predicts that the battle can end within three months."

"So, the matter of building a military base will be achieved within three months."

"Really built?" Xu Hui thought that Liu Yiming was just for the reason for blackmailing.

"Not only must it be built, but also the reasonable building, built in the Mesopotamian plains, not far from Persia and Ottoman." Liu Yiming nodded.

Blackmail, but not just blackmail.

"OK, the government will cooperate with work ..."

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

When the time came to the end of February, the half -true and half -fake blackmail and the offensive of the Revolutionary Army were carried out in an orderly manner.

On February 27th, on the basis of more than 10,000 captives of the Ninth Division, it was supplemented with Man Gui, and the first division of the railway construction was established.

In Jinling, Ma Guodong was transferred to the government official as a teacher.

"My name is, Tian Zhonghua, from today, is responsible for assisting the teacher of the teacher and managed you!"

"This is your chief, Master Ma Guodong, the first teacher of the railway construction, must fully obey the commander's order from today!"

"I advise you not to try to escape, laziness, and resistance. Only obedience is your only way out. As long as he is obedient, the teacher will not treat you ..."

Ichiro Hirado, oh no, he has a new name, Tanaka.

At the establishment of the first division of the railway construction division, Tian Zhonghua "persuaded" his original compatriots in Japanese.

This fellow sees the scene of the fellow villagers. If there are no dozens of machine guns around the surrounding area, the atmosphere may be easier.

"Adult, look ..." Tanaka introduced their work, and showed Ma Guodong with a pleasing smile.

"A brigade attack in front of us. Our teacher's task is behind them, responsible for logistics and road construction."

"The daily management of the Japanese, I will give it to you. I need it to complete the task on time. The progress of the road repair must keep up with the speed of attack."

Ma Guodong said angrily.

Re -transfer back to the army, he thought he could continue the Northern Expedition. What about the result? It is right to be a teacher in the third level, but there is a group infantry in his hands, and there is no gun.

Moreover, his direction is the Western Regions! West! Also repair the road.

"Understand, understand, the villain will not delay adults." Tanaka laughed like a dog's leg.

"Adults are so good to these people, they will be grateful to Dade's hard work and live up to the expectations of adults!" Tanaka said from his heart.

He really thought so, after all, there are more than 10,000 people in the Ninth Division, which is alive.

Unlike the eighth division he used to serve, he knew that there must be other eighth division captives, but he didn't see any one here.

Even some captured scouts of the Third Division came here. There were so many strong labor of the Eighth Division, but disappeared.

Thinking of the matter in Taizhou, I have heard some comments in Tanaka and scared in my heart.

The heavenly dynasty seemed to be gradually recovering his glory.

Then, then
