1890 King of Southeast Asia

In mid-June, the world situation changed further, and Liu Yiming convened a high-level military and political meeting.

"The current world situation is very tense. The Germans have even threatened the French with war. France is holding an emergency meeting and should compromise." Liu Yiming said to everyone holding the intelligence.

In May, the Moroccan crisis deepened further. Since William II visited Morocco, France and Germany have successively increased their troops on the border.

Germany invited countries that had participated in the Moroccan Conference to hold a new meeting. France immediately opposed it and sent troops to Morocco.

Germany sent a note to France, threatening war. French Foreign Minister Delcas took a tough attitude. War was imminent!

"According to the information from the European Broadcasting Station, the war sentiment in France is high, and Britain has also publicly supported France's rights and interests in Morocco. Will France compromise?" Xu Hui was a little unconvinced.

Even if France failed in the Franco-Prussian War, it would not affect its comprehensive national strength, which is the second in the world. In addition to the fact that France's population of 40 million is slightly less than Germany's 60 million, France has a large colonial population.

No matter which aspect you look at, France's comprehensive national strength is not weaker than Germany, and France has an ally - the steam roller: Tsarist Russia.

There are only a few first-class powers, Britain, France, Germany and Russia. Xu Hui does not recognize my great advantage, and France will compromise.

"Europeans have different views on war than us, and their calculation methods are also different from ours.

When war comes, we will adjust the production line, concentrate on producing all materials related to war, replace market laws with administrative orders, and give full play to productivity. , Thousands of cannons and machine guns are produced in a short period of time.

Europe, on the other hand, calculates short-term values ​​such as the number of existing troops and weapons reserves. At present, France's armament production is not complete. There are only more than 100,000 smokeless gunpowder rifles in its warehouse, and Germany has 800,000.

Simply put, we calculate the total industrial output, and they calculate the total product output." Liu Yiming said.

As for transportation and weapon advancement, the French and German armies, who were both old and stubborn, ignored them all.

That's right. At the beginning of World War I, France and Germany were still charging in groups, and then they were knocked down by the enemy's artillery.

"Russia has two million active troops, France has more than 500,000, and Germany has only 700,000. If they still stay in this way, Germany will not win much." Wang Yang said.

The combat effectiveness of the Tsarist Russian soldiers is not strong, but the number is large. If they are attacked from both sides, Wang Yang doesn't know how to open the situation.

"That involves the reserve system." Liu Yiming nodded.

"Germany's predecessor was Prussia, and the rulers of Prussia were Junker military aristocrats. Prussia has always had a reserve system. Men receive military training from an early age. In this way, after the outbreak of war, they can assemble an army in a short time." Liu Yiming said.

"Our reserve system also refers to part of Germany, which is used for the civilian reserve system." Yang Tao said.

Nanhua's reserve force is a farming and warfare system, with the production and construction corps and schools, factories and mines as the core, organizing the people to carry out production, life and military training in an organized manner.

The civilian system is somewhat similar to that of Germany, but Germany is only partially carried out, while Nanhua is carried out by the whole people, from schools to work units, regular and quantitative military training must be carried out.

In previous battles, this system brought a large number of soldiers to Nanhua, such as several large-scale expansions, and after a week of running-in training, it can be used for defense.

"Isn't it right? According to your majesty, France should not consider this, right?" Xie Hui said.

"But France will weigh the pros and cons. At present, the Germans' energy is obviously turning to the sea. The sincere agreement only eliminates the disputes between the two sides..." Liu Yiming shook his head.

If the British are in big trouble, the Scots will definitely be the happiest, followed by France.

"New news, the French foreign minister stepped down, the new foreign minister made concessions, and the two sides continued to negotiate, but Britain and Russia both expressed support for the French move." Jiang Wang walked in with a document.

"The French actually gave in?"

"The Franco-Prussian War cast too big a shadow on France."

"Since they have given in, let the navy withdraw. The launch of the Satsuma-class battleships has made Japan increasingly dishonest. Do you want to give them a warning?"

"The Anglo-Japanese Alliance gave him some hope, and he is talking about the Ryukyu Islands again." Lin Anmin said casually.

"The current situation is becoming more and more chaotic. Send the Xuchang to visit the world, with Japan as the first stop, to show off its muscles.

In addition, the Intelligence Department will focus on Japan, conduct a comprehensive infiltration of Japan, and prepare for more than ten years." At present, Nanhua has no ability to target Japan, and with the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, it can only wait.

Theoretically, Japan's future development will be a smooth road, especially after the start of World War I, Japan, which has received a large number of orders, will take off directly.

If it is in North America or the Asian continent, Liu Yiming can only wait until the atomic bomb or some biological weapons mature before he has a chance to solve the problem.

Liu Yiming is waiting for an opportunity, the simplest opportunity, and he can also receive part of the legacy - the Great Kanto Earthquake.

"Japanese battleships cannot be considered new battleships. Their main guns have different calibers, so it can be inferred that they do not have a fire control command room. Their speed has just reached the level of old battleships, so they can only be considered transitional battleships." Gu Fan said.

The Satsuma-class battleships were warships that Japan began to build halfway through the Russo-Japanese War. Even though Nanhua launched the Dahan-class battleships, the Satsuma-class was still a semi-new battleship. It was the result of Japan's unfamiliarity with the definition of new battleships and copycat manufacturing.

"Britain has announced a new class of battleships, which is very similar to our positioning of the next class of battleships." Speaking of battleships, Zhao Jiaxing continued.

"Is it the Invincible class? I heard that Britain started construction on four ships at once." Xu Hui was very sensitive to this.

Because Britain entered Nanhua's traditional field - fast battleships.

"Yes, four ships at the first level, so rich, the invincible speed reaches 27 knots, our next level battleship also has this parameter, but the 100,000 horsepower power pack has not been selected yet." Zhao Jiaxing said with a little regret.

Xu Hui turned to look at Liu Yiming: "We need high-speed battleships, high-speed battleships or large cruisers."

"At least we need similar products that can compete."

Xu Hui looked at Zhao Jiaxing who wanted to speak, and said first: "Nanhua needs such battleships to maintain asymmetric suppression of the enemy's navy."

Who is the enemy... Isn't it Britain?

Britain and France reached a compromise, and the relationship between South and Britain gradually recovered, but Wang Yang didn't believe in the British integrity.

In the eyes of the upper echelons of Nanhua, the British are willing to sit in a good mood, just because Nanhua is outside India, and the strategic value of high-speed battleships is reflected-cutting off the connection between Britain and India. Qian Qian Yi

"Zhao Jiaxing, please supervise the Power Research Institute. It has been three years since the new battleship project was launched, but there has been no progress." Liu Yiming said indifferently.

This novel was first published on the website:

"As for the new battleship, we still need it, but not now. We should wait until the Germans come up with similar products. There is no need to bother the British now."

Liu Yiming does not want the British to keep their eyes on the Far East. Only in this way can Nanhua have enough space to develop.

"We are off topic. We are discussing supporting France, but France has retreated. What should we do?" Wang Yang brought the topic back.

"Your Majesty, it's an emergency!" Secretary Wang suddenly walked in, anxious.

"What's the matter?" Liu Yiming looked at everyone and asked.

"We have obtained the specific information of the cordial agreement. Britain and France have divided Thailand. The King of Thailand has also negotiated with Tsarist Russia and Japan and has finalized the trade treaty..." Secretary Wang said.

"Jiang Wang, why is the intelligence department so slow?" Liu Yiming turned his head and looked at Jiang Wang.

Since the end of the South China War of Independence and the acquisition of Borneo, Liu Yiming began to lay out in Thailand. When signing the South-France Friendship Treaty, France also promised that South China would enjoy the same treatment as France east of the Mekong River.

It's just that the Thai royal family has always excluded the identity of the Chinese in South China. Later, in order to keep Arabia and Hawaii, South China could not spare more energy and could only gradually erode through trade and intelligence infiltration.

"Please give me some time to do an internal review." Jiang Wang took two deep breaths and said.

Liu Yiming took a breath, "One day, I need to know all the contracts reached between these countries and the King of Thailand."

Thailand is one of the few territories that Liu Yiming can seize, and it can provide a large amount of labor, food and minerals in the next ten years.

Although Nanhua has excellent natural conditions, abundant products, and no shortage of food and drink, no one can have too much supplies. As for the Thais...

Since the Thai king and the common people began to discriminate against the Chinese, Thailand has become the best raw material for Nanhua to carry out primitive accumulation of capitalism.

…………

On June 20, Liu Yiming convened a special meeting on the Thai issue.

"Last year, Thailand's fiscal revenue was 3.4 million pounds, equivalent to 17 million yuan;

Our imports and exports to Thailand reached 4.6 million, of which 2.6 million were exports, mainly industrial products and medicines, and 2 million were imports, mainly agricultural products and various raw materials..."

Secretary Wang was talking about the role of Thailand - a mature market.

"Thailand is the closest and easiest market to Nanhua. In the past few years, we have been deeply cultivating the Thai market and have achieved considerable results, but there are some accidents at present." Liu Yiming turned his head to Jiang Wang.

"According to reliable information, the King of Thailand secretly contacted many countries during the Russo-Japanese War and reached an agreement with Japan, Tsarist Russia, Germany, the United States, etc. They will all obtain a leased land. The signing time is set on January 1, 1906, which is half a year later." Jiang Wang said,

"The purpose is to resist further infiltration of South China and France into Thailand."

"Is the information from the intelligence department reliable? Where did it come from?" Xu Hui's face was as gloomy as ink.

Thailand is very close to South China. It has always been fought over by Britain and France. If it is Britain and France, it is fine. If others intervene, it will be bad for South China.

After all, if you can't defend the interests at your doorstep, how can you defend Hawaii and Arabia?

"A private letter from the Prime Minister of Thailand." Jiang Wang paused and said.

"Okay, there's no point in dwelling on this. Let's discuss how we should react!" Liu Yiming's expression remained unchanged.

This time, Nanhua was careless. Arrogant soldiers will always be defeated! Fortunately, there was no contract signed, so everything can be salvaged...
