1890 King of Southeast Asia

Chapter 253: Southern France Covenant (Part 1)

"The enemy is showing off its might over our heads, but we have to negotiate with them. Is this reasonable?" Abdul Hamid II looked at his ministers with an indescribable disappointment in his tone.

He encountered the Russo-Turkish War at the beginning of his reign. After the failure, he ended the first constitutional rule period, restored the autocratic system, and promoted modernization to a certain extent with power.

But he could not rule his subjects well. Various policies led to the shadow of division, and he was abolished by the Young Turks in 1909.

However, at present, he is still the decisive Sultan, the supreme ruler of the Ottoman Empire.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt, we can't resist the enemy's attack from the sky, nor can we attack the South China mainland." The Minister of the Navy lowered his head, ready to accept the scolding.

Hamid II was a staunch continentalist. In the first 20 years of his reign, the navy was anchored in the port and rusted. However, since the victory of the Greco-Turkish War, the expansion of the navy has been put on the agenda. The Minister of the Navy does not want to waste money on meaningless wars.

Yes, in his opinion, the battle for Kuwait is meaningless. The desert environment is harsh, sparsely populated, and worthless.

"Istanbul was attacked! They even flew over my head in a show of force, and we have to give in to them and negotiate with them?" Hamid II's voice was not loud, but he was indescribably tired.

"Your Majesty, the concession is only temporary. When we have countermeasures, we can launch another attack at any time and take back everything we have lost!" The Minister of War said loudly.

Hamid II fell into a long silence. The Minister of the Navy was sweating profusely. He was afraid that Hamid II would make an irrational choice.

"Go to our American friends and let them build a bridge to negotiate with South China! There is no compensation, let alone ceding land!" Hamid II said, and closed his eyes.

"As you wish, Your Majesty." The Minister of Foreign Affairs saluted and pulled others out of the Sultan's Palace.

"Will South China agree to a ceasefire without ceding land and compensation?" Outside the Sultan's Palace, the Minister of War asked with a serious expression.

"First, we didn't go to war. Second, we can use other conditions such as leasing or opening the market. In short, the war must end, otherwise, neither you nor I will be safe." The Foreign Minister shook his head.

Just one bombing will not do anything to a country, and Hamid II is not a cowardly emperor.

But this bombing has exposed some monsters, Jewish Zionism, and Islamic separatist forces. They incited the poor. For the Ottomans, these are much more threatening than South China thousands of miles away.

And there is no money... The 20 million pounds loan promised by the United Kingdom has only received 10 million pounds. Hamid II used the money to develop industry. The second loan was left unfinished because of the British increase in troops and economic tension...

"What did you say?" Bass looked at the Arabs holding white flags and leading camels in front of the battle.

"His Majesty the Sultan has agreed to the peace talks. Both sides have ceased fighting. I am from Basra and work for the Pasha. This is the letter from the Pasha to you." The man leading the camel said tremblingly.

"Is it a trick? I heard they are the most cunning." The chief of staff asked.

"No!" Bass read the letter at a glance. He knew the Pasha of Basra. This was his note.

"Then we..."

"Withdraw from the position and cease fire." Bass looked at the endless desert in front of him. He believed that as long as he advanced another 20 kilometers, Nanhua would definitely withdraw to Kuwait City.

But the Sultan's will had arrived, and he could not violate it, otherwise, death would be waiting for him.

...

On the last day of 1899, France proposed to the Ottomans to mediate the conflict between the two sides. On the same day, the Americans were afraid that they were not important enough, so they dragged the Germans to propose mediation to Nanhua.

"Is this a coincidence?" Liu Yiming scratched his head.

"The French have not yet obtained the airship technology, and the Ottomans are pro-German and have average relations with France. It should not be them who betrayed us." Lin Anmin said.

"The meeting is in Paris, who should go?" Liu Yiming looked at Lin Anmin, he hoped that Lin Anmin would go.

Because in addition to the peace talks, they also have to negotiate with the French. As the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the most experienced person in Nanhua, Lin Anmin is the most qualified.

"France is defending against the Germans and the British at the same time, and there are certain contradictions with Italy. There is a basis for an alliance with us." Lin Anmin did not answer directly.

This logic is flawless. Once Nanfang and France form an alliance, Nanhua will block Malacca and expedition to India. France can block Gibraltar and Suez at the same time. If the two sides form an alliance, the pressure will be much less.

"Will there be any impact on Italy?" Liu Yiming asked.

In Nanhua's shipbuilding industry, a small half of the senior technicians and engineers are Italians. Nanhua used the Jinyuan offensive to dig them up - giving the shipyard an irresistible price and letting him be an intermediary can make money without any risk.

"It will have some impact, but our people are gradually replacing foreign workers, and we also encourage foreign workers to immigrate to Nanhua. A big reward will attract brave men, and the effect is OK. At least it will not affect the construction of the Dahan-class battleship." Lin Anmin shook his head to indicate that it was okay.

He stroked his chin and thought for a while.

"Is it too fast?" Liu Yiming felt a little unreal.

"It is understandable that the French proposed it. With this trend, the relationship between the two sides will develop further. As long as we recognize the interests of the French in the Far East, we will have almost no conflict." Lin Anmin also thought about it for a whole night before he figured it out.

The biggest and only conflict between Nanhua and France is the French East Indies.

Nanhua once instigated a rebellion in the French East Indies. The French had no evidence but must have noticed it. The two countries had a tense time.

Later...

Later, it was nothing.

Nanhua dealt with the British, the Japanese and the Spanish at the same time. The French were busy expanding in Africa and relaxed their oppression of the Chinese in the French East Indies, so Nanhua stopped further action.

"This time you go, discuss the repurchase of various antiques. If these things can be returned, let them return." Liu Yiming diverged his thoughts again, "Our territory is too scattered, and we need something to enhance cohesion. These antiques are very useful."

Lin Anmin's eyes lit up: "I will try my best, and I believe the French will agree."

Liu Yiming didn't notice it, but just nodded: "Go, while you are still here, I will prepare for the handover."

Xu Hui is leaving, this part of government affairs will definitely fall into his hands, and it must be prepared in advance.

Lin Anmin nodded and left Liu Yiming's office.

When he went out, he whispered something with Wang Yang and others, and then left Zhangtai Palace with glory.

At the last moment of the 19th century, the whole world was in chaos, and peace was nowhere in sight.

Britain was stuck in a quagmire, and colonial wars failed frequently, thousands of people died in battle, and tens of thousands of people lost their combat effectiveness due to acclimatization.

South American trade negotiations unfolded, and the representatives fought for every penny of interest with dark circles under their eyes.

The Germans picked up their forks and looked for targets everywhere on the world map.

In this way, the South China delegation set out on the road to Paris.

On January 20, 1900, the airship arrived in Paris, and the streets of Paris fell into a brief chaos, causing a woman to convulse.

"Mr. President, it's a pleasure to meet you." Xu Hui got off the airship and said to Lube.

Lube also suppressed his surprise and shook hands with Xu Hui: "Mr. Vice President, welcome to Paris!"

"This is not the place to talk, please get in the carriage." Lube and Xu Hui got on the carriage, and the carriage swayed towards the banquet hall.

Following, there will be airships landing, and the ministers of various departments are on it. Only Lubet and Xu Hui, as well as the foreign ministers of both sides, left.

"Mr. President, Paris is such a beautiful city." Sitting in the carriage, feeling the long-lost bumps, Xu Hui praised.

"Yes, it is not only beautiful, but also great!" Lubet said with a smile, but the smile was a bit forced.

"By the way, I brought a gift to France." Xu Hui patted his head, as if I just thought of it.

"What is this?" Lubet watched Xu Hui take out a pile of documents from his briefcase, and it turned out to be a structural diagram.

"The design of the airship, but the full set of drawings is on the ship, I brought the schematic diagram." Xu Hui smiled.

"That's it, huh~ Is that the airship you just took?" Lubet suppressed his excitement.

That huge body, which is even bigger than a battleship, can fly long distances in the sky and drop bombs. Isn't this a weapon given by God to France to punish Britain?

"Yes, we call it Shuttle No. 1. When the maximum load is 22 tons, the theoretical range is 2,000 kilometers, but reducing the amount of bombs to carry fuel, or riding the wind, can effectively increase the range." Xu Hui kept smiling.

"You are so generous. This is the best gift I have received this year. No! I mean, France welcomes all friends from South China." Lubet took a deep breath.

The English Channel, which Napoleon could not break through, is just a decoration in front of the airship. Although it can't take a few people across, it is an improvement and a trend!

"Of course, I can feel the enthusiasm of my French friends. Let the ministers talk first. I want to visit this great city." Xu Hui looked at the excited Lubet and had to take the initiative.

"Yes, yes, yes! Sorry for my mistake. Look ahead, this is the Arc de Triomphe, His Majesty Napoleon conquered..." Lubet happily introduced the Arc de Triomphe to Xu Hui.

His loss of composure just now was also due to seeing the Arc de Triomphe, the Arc de Triomphe - His Majesty Emperor Napoleon - Napoleon III.

During the reign of Napoleon III, he served in the army, participated in the Franco-Prussian War as an army captain, witnessed the defeat of France with his own eyes, and saw the King of Prussia enter the Palace of Versailles and be crowned emperor with his own eyes.

This was a shame, and France prepared for forty years to wash away this shame. In 1914, French soldiers dressed in colorful uniforms, blew whistles, and shouted as they charged at the Germans - this time they fought to the death - and then the tough guys died... Thousands of thousands of people

After taking Xu Hui to visit the landmark buildings in Paris, eating traditional French food, and attending a banquet at night, Lubez found the Minister of Foreign Affairs at night.

"Mr. Fissol, what did you talk about today?" Lube took a sip of water. He was a little thirsty after explaining to Xu Hui all day.

"From all aspects of the test, Nanhua is very sincere. I think they hope that our two countries will reach an alliance." Fissol said, and said that I also need to drink water.

"Alliance?" Lube thought, "What do you think?"

"The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The British have begun to restrict Nanhua. If it weren't for the defeat of those stupid lobsters by the Boers, Nanhua's situation would be very difficult." Fissol said.

"But East India and Nanhua are too close." Lube looked at Fissol.

"Then support Nanhua's actions in Arabia." Fissol took a sip of water.

Lube nodded. It seems that the cow and the horse are incomparable, but this is the balance. I support your actions in Arabia, and you have to support my actions in East India. Once there is a change, Nanhua can attack East India, and France can also attack Arabia.

"Then do it! In the shortest possible time, strive for a treaty that is most beneficial to us." Lube said loudly.

"Is it urgent?" Fiesole asked in confusion.

"Nanhua's airship can carry 22 tons of bombs and fly more than 2,000 kilometers. Can you imagine a hundred airships bombing Berlin and London to pieces?" Lube said excitedly.

"We can also use airships to clear the way, and heavy bombs to remove the bunkers. Then it's time for Miss 75 to speak." Lube grabbed a bottle of wine and took a sip.

"I have already told their deputy head of state that the load of the airship is still a secret. It is announced to the outside world as a load of six tons, and it is restricted to be sold to foreign countries. We will jointly develop weapons. These will be written in the treaty." Lube looked at Fiesole.

"I know, I will reach an agreement as soon as possible." Fiesole shrugged and nodded.

"Ottomans..." Lube asked tentatively.

"We should have a louder voice in the Mediterranean!" Fiesole drank a bottle of wine in one gulp, and then fell to the ground on the spot.

"Young man..." Lube shook his head.

...

"Well, what do you think about this negotiation?" Fiesole, who was hungover, rubbed his head and said to Lin Anmin with an apologetic look on his face.

"We are a peace-loving country. The Ottoman Empire must withdraw its troops cleanly, and agree to trade with us, agree to our investment in the development of the Mesopotamian Plain, etc., of course, on an equal footing."

Half a month later...

"Under the witness of God, the two sides reached an understanding and resolved the dispute peacefully..." Fiesole's meeting, both sides, well, they don't believe in God.

"You can sign." Fiesole looked at the Ottoman Empire representative indifferently.

After signing, there is another exchange.

Original text^. @From^ Yu Ta Du Xiaoshuo

"Now, the two sides exchange documents." Fiesole said to Lin Anmin with a smile.

After signing again, each country stamped the document to indicate that it supervised the negotiation. After stamping, the negotiation was over.

Lin Anmin took the negotiation results, and all his requests were exceeded.

The treaty stipulates: The Ottoman Empire completely withdraws from the scope of the South China colony.

No more than one company can be stationed for every 100 kilometers of border, and no cavalry, artillery, etc. can be stationed.

The Mesopotamian Plain is the sphere of influence of South China. South China has the right to invest and develop the Mesopotamian Plain. The Ottoman Empire’s military force in the Mesopotamian Plain should not exceed one division-this is the result after Britain’s efforts.

The Ottoman Empire was certainly unwilling to agree until French warships appeared on the east side of the Mediterranean, the Tsar’s fleet made a "military visit" on the Black Sea coast, and the French garrison in Lebanon held a bonfire party on the border.

The United States was scared, Germany wanted to intervene, but it didn’t have the strength. Britain was too busy to take care of itself, and France pressed the proud heads of the Ottomans and signed the treaty.

In return, a large amount of technical data and intelligence entered the French vision.

"Happy cooperation!" Fiesor shook hands with Lin Anmin happily.

"Sir, you dropped something." Lin Anmin picked up a piece of paper from the ground and patted the dust. "I didn't expect you to buy stocks. Don't sell them before June."

"Um... Thank you for your reminder." Fiesole happily accepted a rubber stock worth 500,000 francs...
