1890 King of Southeast Asia

On October 18, Borneo, a joint statement between Britain and the Huaxia Empire was being signed.

"Mr. Ambassador, although it seems childish to say this, I really hope that this is the last time." Lin Anmin held a pen in the air with his right hand and pressed the document with his left hand, looking ready to sign.

"Your Excellency, since you said so, I don't want to talk to you about those boring diplomatic rhetoric."

"The new Foreign Minister Sir Stanley is a traditional aristocrat. I believe that we will get along well in the next period of time."

Cyril sat opposite Lin Anmin, his eyes kept glancing at Lin Anmin's right hand holding the pen.

Traditional aristocrats do not mean that they are not capable. On the contrary, most of the descendants of traditional aristocrats are still capable, but they are inherently conservative and despise "unruly" behavior.

The cause of this conflict is just Jerusalem, and at most a Palestinian region. For Britain, this is nothing.

But it is precisely because of this that Balfour, a minister immersed in the glory of the Victorian era, did not care about these things and played cards recklessly without following the rules.

"I hope so." Lin Anmin even shook his head when he heard this, and then he wrote down his name on the paper.

On this paper, the top of the paper was written in bold black font "Sino-British Joint Declaration", which was quite stereotyped. It was nothing more than explaining that everything before was a misunderstanding, and now both sides have explained it clearly, and they are still unbreakable allies.

For this declaration, the British paid several chemical technologies and contracts to export industrial raw materials such as cotton to the Huaxia Empire at low prices.

"Mr. Ambassador, sometimes I find it hard to understand. The lack of term limits for your ministers does prevent excessive concentration of power, but don't you see the problem?"

"Prime Minister George Lloyd has only been in office for half a year, and he has formed a cabinet for the second time. In the final analysis, this misunderstanding stems from the policy continuity problem of your country."

"The last Foreign Secretary, Sir Edward, is a very competent and upright person. Although we are in the same position in different countries and have conflicting interests, we have solved them well."

"Thanks to this, although the British Empire and the Huaxia Empire have fought over local interests, such a bad situation has never occurred."

"We once discussed how to establish the order of the entire Arab world, and we also transformed the Arab world according to the results of the discussion. The interests and scale involved are so huge that they cannot be compared with Jerusalem."

"But now, it is just a Palestinian region that has brought our friendship of more than 20 years to this embarrassing position..."

"This little bit of interest can be completely resolved through negotiations. If Sir Edward is still the foreign minister, he will never allow such a thing to happen."

Lin Anmin seemed to be very emotional. When he was excited, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff.

"Oh! Your Excellency, this is just a misunderstanding. Please rest assured that the friendship between Britain and the Huaxia Empire will not be affected by this." Cyril said anxiously.

Lin Anmin was stunned. He didn't know how many times he had heard such words...

…………

"Everything is normal within 1 km around. No signs of large-scale personnel movement were found."

"Air Force reconnaissance shows that everything is normal in the German camp in Ain Tab."

"The preliminary search of Hatay did not find any signs of ambush. The engineers are further investigating whether there are bunkers and explosives in the town."

"Airport call, the Air Force took off two reconnaissance planes and arrived over Hatay in 15 minutes. The attack planes and fighters have been refueled. If the enemy is found, they can take off."

Five kilometers south of Hatay Town, Huang Zhengfang and Zheng Shangqing handled the reconnaissance reports in an orderly manner.

Zheng Shangqing held a piece of paper in his hand and reported a reconnaissance situation. If it was safe, he would cross it out, if he was not sure, he would cross it out if there was a problem.

Time passed quickly and it was already the end of October. This was the third transaction between China and Germany in October, and it was the largest scale.

In the previous transactions, except for food, other materials needed by Germany were smuggled in by merchant ships. After all, the price was not low, and there were trust issues between the two sides, so the quantity could not be increased.

The transaction in early October was 8.4 tons of gold. On October 10, another batch of food, oil, and non-ferrous metals worth 8.9 tons of gold was delivered.

These two times were fine, but after the transaction on the 10th, the Germans gave a huge order.

Involving oil, natural rubber, chemical raw materials, non-ferrous metals, and most importantly, 200,000 tons of food.

The previous resources were mainly used for direct industrial support for the war. The Germans were not afraid that the Chinese would not sell them. They had sold a lot before, and they would not not sell them before the two sides broke up.

What made the Germans uneasy was 200,000 tons of food. From the perspective of a country, 200,000 tons of food is not much, but in the current war, the Chinese Empire will not sell so much hard currency such as food. The Germans are not sure.

1. The price of food is limited. Even if it is sold to the Germans, it is only several times more expensive than usual, and the profit is not much.

2 means 200,000 tons, which is a big problem to transport. A train with 50 freight cars can carry 2,500 tons, and 80 such trains are needed to transport enough food.

And such a large -scale transaction is very easy to leak news. Even if the Germans have executed a harsh way of confidentiality, the Huaxia people believe it or not know it.

As a result, the Germans handed the list over, and Xu Hui considered it for 1 while asking Zheng Lei's Arabic food reserves, and agreed to the transaction.

However, because of the large scale, how to trade was determined by Zheng Lei, Zheng Lei thought about it, and the two parties adopted multiple transactions to complete the transaction in batches in batches.

Although the more times, the more dangerous, the one -time section of 8 ten trains, 400 cars, are too conspicuous.

As the main transportation tools on the 6, the large -scale train suddenly moved very eye -catching. This is why the transactions of both parties are limited to 3 to 4 times a month.

A business involving hundreds of tons of gold, the amount of the first batch of transactions reached 30 tons. This amount obviously exceeded the trust of the two parties.

Therefore, this transaction will adopt a completely different transaction model.

It is about to come to Hatai immediately. In order to prevent black from eating black, Huang Zhengfang sprinkled the reconnaissance in a row, and investigated everywhere to ambush.

The airport received an order to prepare for combat. The pilot was standing in the plane cockpit, and the elite troops of the two divisions of the two Chinese divisions around the surrounding Huaxia Empire were already ready.

"Two kilometers forward, there is a wide open place over there, and then stand in place." Huang Zhengfang looked at him behind him.

This transaction mainly trades a variety of rare metals, chemical raw materials, rubber, oil, etc., and did not involve food.

Even so, the transaction volume is not small. There are 3 rows of heavy trucks, 1 hundred and ten carriages, of which 7 ten are installed with oil.

Besides ...

Half an hour later, Huang Zhengfang received news from the Germans.

"Brigadier, the reconnaissance report, Eindabu just sailed out of 7 trains, both heavy and medium -sized vehicles, and have arrived at Hatai's periphery."

Hartelon is now the so -called satellite city. The edge of the city of Hatai and Ein Tabbu is only 35 kilometers, and 7 trains have a safe distance at the end and tail, which is enough to connect to the two places.

"What do the Germans want to do? Didn't say that the Germans would drive out in advance, would there be problems? I said that the entire column of armored trains." Zheng Shangqing's first reaction was that the Germans wanted to eat black. Preparation.

"The armored train should be fast, but even if it comes, it will not get up in the short term." Huang Zhengfang heard Zheng Shangqing's mention, thinking of the order he saw by accident last time.

The armored train group composed of two armored trains was transferred to Arabia. This thing Huang Zhengfang also knew that he also visited -when he was still the Scout.

The South China Empire had already engaged in armored trains, and it was very fierce. The first -column armored train did not belong to the 6th Army, but belonged to the naval shore anti -artillery.

Later, the 6th Army also engaged in one column, but soon the 6th Army lost interest in such things limited by the railway line. With that money, he could get half a company tank.

After all, there are not many railways in the Huaxia Empire, which is not very useful.

However, it is placed in Arabia for inspecting railways and clearingry. The efficiency is still possible.

"Brigade, Harta's phone." Zheng Shangqing was about to say that this was not a problem of armored trains, and the phone rang.

"I'm Huang Zhengfang, um ... I know, you wait 1."

Huang Zhengfang took the phone away from his ear and looked at Zheng Shangqing,

"The call of the scout, the Germans found them, hoping to talk to us 1 and exchange the train directly."

"Only Hatai can exchange trains nearby. Do they want us to get in? This is not enough, it's too adventurous." Zheng Shangqing watched the three trains and waved his hand.

Who knows what the German car is installed? After entering Hatai, I suddenly popped out thousands of big men from the carriage. How do I play?

These materials are worth 3 tons of gold, and the wealth is moving!

"The other party proposed to maintain the current distance, send someone to check each other, and exchange the train after correctness."

"I also said that each transaction was too troublesome. In the future, the two parties between the transactions directly exchanged the train. Before the transaction, we reported the number of compartments to them. They went to find the same number of compartments to us."

"I think it can be tried 1. In this way, the transaction efficiency will be much higher. The contradiction between us and the British has been resolved. Who knows when the transaction is canceled?"

"This money earns simple, don't make white or earns." Huang Zhengfang took the shooting list.

So far, the gold given by the Germans is given by the quality and quantity, and Huang Zhengfang wants to do a few more pens to earn 1 point.

Aside from those tall ideas, he is responsible for the transaction. The more the transaction amount, the greater the benefits of his future. Zheng Shangqing is also the same.

Including participants, they can basically get better -looking resumes, and it will be easier to develop in the future.
