1890 King of Southeast Asia

After Liu Ming considered everything, he found that the Americans actually had no way to deal with Nanhua. They couldn't find other suppliers or substitutes for these things.

The factories that made these things were surrounded by police, army, and militia. Want to steal the information? It's as difficult as stealing the gold reserves of Nanhua Central Bank directly.

After explaining everything to Xu Hui, Xu Hui finally understood.

"Why should the oil export tariff be raised? It's still 700!" Xu Hui didn't understand. It's all money when it's sold. The cost is still very low, and it's almost pure profit.

"The Ottoman Empire buys crude oil, refines it, and then exports it to Europe. The profit is about 5 times." Liu Ming touched his nose.

"So what? The bigger the market, the easier it is for us to sell." Xu Hui was puzzled.

"Well... their refinery was burned by me." Liu Ming thought about it and decided to tell Xu Hui.

"Burned? Why?" Xu Hui asked with concern. There was no reason why Liu Ming wouldn't do it when they were so far away.

"They built a separation tower to increase gasoline production."

"The kind used in petrochemical plants?" Xu Hui frowned.

"It's much behind, but the principle is almost there. The SCI Xuanwu team found their information in the database, and they are only one step away from making plastics." Liu Ming tilted his head.

"To be on the safe side, I raised the crude oil tariff. In the future, the Arab region will only export refined oil, including the contracts signed by Britain and France."

"What about the technicians?" Xu Hui asked.

"Died in a fire." Liu Ming had no expression on his face.

International competition has always been bloody, whether it is now or more than 100 years later.

"You convinced me that our manufacturing industry needs a market. If the United States cannot give us one, then we will cultivate it ourselves. Similarly, he should not want those benefits." Xu Hui nodded.

"Not really. The future trend is bound to be world integration, division of labor and cooperation. The so-called division at the moment is only temporary." Liu Ming said based on previous experience.

Said,

But he didn't know that it was the post-war world. Before that, the world had always been divided...

On October 31, Liu Yiming delivered a public speech.

"It has been fifteen years since the establishment of Nanhua. Ten or sixteen years ago, I was still in Surabaya, firing the first shot for the survival and independence of the ethnic group, and drove away the Dutch invaders...

For fifteen years, Nanhua has been committed to maintaining national independence and reducing oppression and exploitation. Unfortunately, the complex international situation and the disorderly expansion of capital are hindering Nanhua's actions...

At this time, a great man inspired me. He proposed the Monroe Doctrine based on opposition to colonization, colonialism, and unwarranted interference in other continents. Yes, it was President Monroe...

Starting from October 31, that is, today, Nanhua officially announced that the Monroe Doctrine would be Nanhua's foreign policy , oppose the unwarranted intervention of non-Asian countries in Asia, and Asian affairs are decided by Asians...

Any unwarranted intervention of non-Asian countries in Asia, especially subverting their governments and undermining their independence and sovereignty, will be regarded as a provocation to South China, and South China will not hesitate to issue a war threat...

But considering the traditions of the past 100 years and the complex interest relations, we still use the Monroe Doctrine and recognize the colonies and special interests that have existed before..."

On November 1, before the Americans reacted, Japan agreed first, followed by Britain, France and Germany, and began to issue corresponding declarations - all claiming to be for stability, directly saying that it was a deepening of the Monroe Doctrine.

On November 2, the United States urgently met with the ambassadors of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and South Africa. In the next week, the United States put forward more than a dozen negotiation conditions, hoping to exchange trade interests.

And discussed the trade issues of Peru and Chile with South China, demanding Liu Yiming withdraw his statement, claiming that if he did not get a satisfactory answer, South China would lose the copper mine.

"Copper mining is a normal business behavior. Your practice violates international norms, and normal business behavior is not included in the Monroe Doctrine." Liu Ming looked at Sam, he couldn't understand why the United States made such a stupid move?

"We don't think so. This is obviously a colonial fraud!" Sam's tone was full of anger.

Before the United States had time to make a move, Liu Ming took action, making the United States neither up nor down.

The United States' approach is very simple, winning over and dividing, and then paying a little bit of the South American market, maybe the United States can get more things-such as Thailand.

But just as the United States was thinking about what to use to attract Britain, Liu Ming issued a declaration, followed by Britain and France.

"I have a complete business contract here, signed by the governments of Peru and Chile, as well as tax records, land purchase certificates, invoices, employee salary payment records, and material purchase lists. They can all prove that this is a business behavior." Liu Ming did not react too much.

"Your country bought a copper mine worth hundreds of millions of dollars for less than a million. If this is not fraud, what is it?" Sam did not intend to reason. His task was to tear open a hole so that Liu Yiming could soften.

"Isn't this a business investment? Your country's citizens mined an oil well with a daily output of 10,000 tons in the Gulf of Mexico for $800. It has been spewing for more than 30 days. One ton costs one dollar, and the profit is more than 100 times."

"That's different!"

"Dear Sam, I really want to talk to you about this, but I need to go to a small meeting, mainly for the remaining independent countries in Asia, to discuss some trade issues.

Oh! I remember that the United States was willing to send out its navy to maintain the Monroe Doctrine. Nanhua cannot fall behind. Nanhua will send out its navy to patrol the line from Bohai to Guinea. Please do not panic American merchant ships. "Liu Ming smiled and turned away.

"Your Majesty! Is Nanhua going to go against the United States?" Sam said.

"Sam, you should know that this matter has no impact on me, whether it is trade or the United States,

but I don't have much right to choose. If I don't choose, Nanhua will lose Thailand. You should have thought of this day before you act. "Liu Ming did not even turn his head.

In fact, once this matter was raised, Liu Ming had no chance to refuse.

The strategically shrinking Britain and France would certainly fully support and implement it.

South China must choose Europe or the United States - a conclusion has already been reached.

In addition, this can cause a certain blow to the United States, slowing down the development of the United States, which is in line with Liu Ming's idea.

So he took the initiative and actively promoted this matter.

The reward has come. The Thai ambassador is waiting for him in the reception room. Thailand promises not to rent or cede any port or land for military use to other countries in exchange for South China's support for the King of Thailand.

Liu Ming agreed, and at the same time, the SCI action team far away in Thailand received the news of "assassinating the Crown Prince of Thailand."

Rama VI's anti-Chinese mentality made Liu Ming uncomfortable, and now he could just blame it on the Americans.
