1890 King of Southeast Asia

Chapter 246 The Age of Imperialism (X)

On October 13th, the Ottoman Turkish Empire Sudan, Apuduler Hamid II entrusted the British to submit the ultimatum to South China, asking South China to withdraw from the Kuwait region immediately, and compensated the losses and so on.

When Liu Yiming received this national book, he thought about everything as soon as possible.

"I want to know, is this war's benefit for Britain?" Liu Yiming frowned and stared at Siril.

"No, no, the head of state, this matter has nothing to do with Britain ..." Silil shook his head.

"Okay ~ As you wish, the Republic of South China rejected all unreasonable requirements made by the Ottoman Turkish Empire ..." Liu Yiming was expressionless, he was fooled.

Nine years of smooth and smooth water made him proud, and the idea of ​​controlling oil blindfolded his brain.

Discussion group five, six, three, seven, three, six, six, five

Nanhua's current strength is too scattered. With thousands of kilometers, it has maintained two divisions and has occupied a lot of military expenses. If it is not for the general support of the Army comes from the construction of the Corps, the large amount of property that the Luzon Islands seized, the military expenses allocated by the allocation of military is not necessarily. Enough to maintain the status quo.

After Silil left, Liu Yiming began what happened recently and the development of the situation.

For two hours, he did not leave his chair.

"Huh ~ Now, the British are caught in the Boolean war. South China will immediately span thousands of kilometers to fight a war?" Liu Yiming stared at the ceiling.

"Wrong?" Liu Yiming whispered softly, staring at the world map with arrows on it, representing Nanhua's expansion direction.

"The head of state, the deputy Yuan was here." Secretary Wang knocked gently, Liu Yiming nodded, and got up to the conference room.

In the conference room, more than twenty people such as Xu Hui, Lin Anmin, Tian Rui, Wang Yang, Yang Tao, Xie Hui, Zhao Jiaxing, etc. have been sitting, Liu Yiming was silent to the main position, but did not sit down.

"The Ottomans gave us an ultimatum, and I refused." Liu Yiming took a deep breath.

The people present looked at each other.

"This incident is my strategy misjudgment, but to solve the current problems first, the Ottomans may attack us at any time." Liu Yiming looked at the changes in each of the people in the field.

"But ... haven't we launched a operation yet? There is no leakage in action ... should." Zhao Jiaxing said directly.

"Is it the British?" Xu Hui asked.

Liu Yiming nodded gently. "I considers it through the market. Combined with the existing information, the British should give the Otman a commitment and assistance. The condition is to attack us!"

Liu Yiming always thought that the British's primary goal was Russians. Even if the British contacted the Ottomians, they also restricted the Russians together with Japan.

After all, the Japanese are weakened a lot now, especially to ensure that its navy can compete with the Russians, but also needs to fight guerrillas and Russians on land at the same time.

Japan with a large amount of debt has no financial resources at all, and the Russian and Turkish war fought so many times, allowing Otman and Japan to attack Russia at the same time, and Russia caught in two -line operations. Isn't this a good idea?

The British have also fully considered that a stable Ottoman with a certain force is beneficial to the UK. It is said that this circle around the Tsar is a fighter supported by Britain.

"I have also fully considered that in the past few years, the war has been a large amount of land, but the land has not been developed. We, industry partial subjects, our policy has become the same as Britain and France ...

We still have a lot of problems waiting to be resolved, but not now, since the Ottomans have already ended the ultimatum, then we first solve this matter. After this war, we do other things. Xu Hui stood up and said.

"The conspiracy of the British, but I can't see any benefits they can get." Xie Hui shook his head.

"It doesn't need any benefits. It can be consumed. This war is far from the rear. The consumption is destined to be huge. If you can't set the Qiankun in one blow, even if you win, you will be a great vitality. The British ..." Wang Yang said.

Prior to this, some British supported the French and blackmail the Ottomans. Those two ports, and then two more renting, do n’t those countries do this?

However, the current situation has changed. The purpose of the British is to provoke the war between the two countries. Once the war starts, one party must have a substantial concession in order to pull people in to mediate, so France will not intervene ...

"Needless to say these words, it is not a day or two for the British who believe in rejection, but this time it is really unexpected. Let's talk about our strength on the front line of Kuwait." When the British are mentioned, they shake their heads.

"After three supplements, we deployed a light -fitting division, a military regiment, a self -propelled artillery camp on the Arabian Peninsula, equipped with a total of thirty -six artillery and twelve self -propelled artillery.

The number of people in the Arabian Corps is unknown and unknown. It only records that 12 millimeters of artillery from the Oman Construction Corps have 12 mm artillery and 4,000 rifles. "Xie Hui said.

"The Arab Legion does not need to calculate. We are not like the British. We can't afford bad debts. Together, our exports to Europe will be affected. The British must be more than such a means." Liu Yiming shook his head.

The scene was silent, and then looked at each other again. They were used to the practice of Liu Yiming's order and distribution of tasks.

"We need a main attack direction. We need to make the Ottomans feel pain, but we also need to prevent them from suffering too great a loss and having to continue the war." Wang Yang spoke at the right time.

"Jerusalem? If we take it, we will have three Islamic holy places." Xie Hui pointed to the north.

"Jerusalem is a hot potato, and our strength in the north is not enough to launch further attacks, or it is already difficult to defend." Liu Yiming shook his head. He looked at the deployment of Nanhua's military forces, and a large number of military forces were in the Luzon Islands.

"It's not impossible. The Arab Legion is about to arrive at the northern border. There are enough troops, but there is no logistics. I suggest that the Arab Legion be pulled to Kuwait, just in case." Yang Tao shook his head.

"The war must be fought, but the military expenditure is a problem. I want to know how much military expenditure the army has." Xu Hui asked.

"The entire Arab advancement plan costs 30 million, including 10 million for the navy, 10 million for the army, and 10 million for the corps. Now... there should be very little left." Liu Yiming looked at Yang Tao.

Yang Tao nodded: "There are still 5.7 million left, and there are some remaining supplies. If the war is unfolded, it can only last for half a month at most."

If we go to war with the Ottomans, where is the vast territory? The Ottomans will fight for a long time, and it may not be resolved in a short time.

"The government still has money... Forget it, don't touch the government's money, contact the French and talk about loans. They will not refuse." Liu Yiming shook his head.

"The French interest rate is not low either." Tian Rui raised his hand weakly and said: "We can sell bonds domestically, and 30 to 50 million can be raised in a short time."

Liu Yiming shook his head: "It's not about money. It's almost the next fiscal year. If we really have to squeeze, we can still squeeze it out. We want a friend who can talk."

"France?" Xu Hui frowned. France is heavy enough, but what is his basis? French Indochina is also under the nose of Nanhua.

"Don't worry, they will agree." Liu Yiming smiled confidently.

Compared with Britain, France is indeed relatively credible, perhaps because it has been constantly lending abroad, and the spirit of contract is incomparable to the Saxons, although it is not much.

"The strategy is set. Find a way to teach the Ottomans a lesson. As for interests, we can get as much as we can, but don't have too much expectations. Let the Arab Legion led by Adam hoard in the northwest of the peninsula to prevent the British from directly intervening." Liu Yiming saw that no one continued to express his opinions, so he made a decision.

As for the specific tactical layout, that is the business of the General Staff, and there is no need to talk about it in such an important meeting.

...

After the meeting, Liu Yiming found the French ambassador. The French ambassador has always had a low presence in Nanhua, because Nanhua's traditional partners are Britain and the United States, but now it seems that there has been a little change...

"Hello, Mr. Ambassador." Liu Yiming greeted Bi Sheng first and invited him to sit down.

"Respected Mr. Yuan, may I ask why you called me here today?" Bi Sheng sat down a little uneasily, Liu Yiming was too enthusiastic.

"There are two things I want to discuss with France. First, I hope to get a loan from France." Liu Yiming said.

"Well? How much do you need? What will be used as collateral?" Bi Sheng became interested. He was familiar with loans!

"No, this time the Nanhua government will issue a three-year bond. I hope French banks can sell it. The interest rate is 5%, and the amount is 200 million francs." 200 million francs is equivalent to 40 million Nanhua yuan or 8 million pounds.

Next year, the loan that Tsarist Russia borrowed from France will be as high as 7 billion francs, equivalent to 800 million pounds.

"Of course there is no problem. Nanhua's reputation is still very good, and the interest rate is also in a suitable range. I believe the bonds will be very easy to sell." Bi Sheng nodded immediately.

200 million pounds is a small matter for the banking group. As of now, France's overseas investment is between 27 billion and 28 billion, which is three times that of domestic investment. The loan shark empire is well-deserved.

Of course, Nanhua's revenue of 600 million yuan in the last fiscal year is also guaranteed. Half of the 600 million yuan comes from drug exports, especially after the stalemate in South American relations, Nanhua imposed a special tax of 55% on drugs exported to the United States.

A special medicine for treating bacterial infections (sulfonamide, referring to a series of drugs developed based on sulfonamide) is sold for $5 in the United States, and at least three pills are needed to treat an infection.

The U.S. population has exceeded 90 million. Most people can afford this price, but it will be painful, especially painful - equivalent to a week's salary.

Back to the present, after Bi Sheng agreed, Liu Yiming said another thing...
