1890 King of Southeast Asia

"Osman, the situation is gradually walking in the expected direction."

"The passing of a new round of shipbuilding plans in Germany, the domestic response is extremely fierce. Hu Xihua believes that we don't need to intervene too much."

"In Japan, Japan's confession has held several consecutive meetings, and the issue is related to how to cross the crisis."

"In terms of Huaxia, Sun Zaizhi is undergoing suppression activities, forcing Juntian, and I heard that the blood that has been killed has become a river."

"Huang Keqiang reached an agreement with the British, and the Plateau border guards finally stopped in Asia East, and the British lost more than 5,000 people."

"The grassland border defense army and Tsarist Russia have rubbed many times, but there is no precursor to a large -scale conflict."

"Because of the war, the progress of the Huaxia Industrial Plan is not smooth. Except for the slight results of the basic coal and steel system, the rest of the factory failed to effectively cooperate."

Liu Yiming closed his eyes and listened to Jiang Wang's reports one by one.

Nanhua and Huaxia have entered the last stage of the integration. Many South China low -level officials have been packed and sent to Huaxia. Huaxia local officials went to Southeast Asia or West Asia.

All this is carried out secretly. In order to keep confidential, not only the relevant documents are not left to leave a record record in the government, so participating officials will also be monitored by the army.

When everything is ready, Liu Yiming is ready to start a war against Japan.

As for the European War, Liu Yiming made a lot of efforts, but it would not start directly.

The water of this war is very deep, and you can enter the field as late as possible to win more benefits.

Set up everyone in the World War I? It is an imagination. How to cross Wanli to transport soldiers alone is a problem without solution.

As for solving with weapons with technical differences, first, the weapon difference at this time is not enough to ignore everything.

Second, even if there is an absolute difference, such as the Gulf War and the mechanization of informatization, it requires an absolute number of weapons.

No matter how complete the US information is, there is no enough aircraft to compete for air rights, and there is no enough missile to crack down on important nodes, everything is empty.

"Almost, ready to block the Japanese economy in an all -round way. Before the first shot was officially launched, I wanted them to even buy a bullet." Liu Yiming sat up and said.

"It has been arranged. From tomorrow, we will repeatedly operate rice prices, and then oil and iron ore."

"At the same time, we will organize products that coincide with Japanese industries in China and China products."

"Japanese resources are scarce and the market is narrow. If you want to develop industries in such a fierce fluctuation market, the cost will be huge."

"Unfortunately, Americans are standing in Japan. Even if we give more high -quality raw silk and products, they are more willing to spend the same price to buy Japan."

Jiang Wang sighed slightly.

"Nothing, it is useless to sell it, it is useless to form internal circulation, and there is no sales market. Their industry is dead." Liu Yiming shook his head with a smile.

"Actively contact the opposition forces in Japan and give them money to give them money."

"This group of Japanese is unsatisfactory. We have given a lot, but it has not set off much waves." Jiang Wang said.

"You don't know enough about the Japanese. There is no certainty. He dare not, but once you find a chance, they are the most decisive." Liu Yiming shook his head.

"Okay, go."

Jiang Wang lowered his head and left.

After the war ended, Ottoman contacted the big debtor South China and wanted to reach further cooperation with South China to further establish a modern army.

The young Turkish party even proposed a radical expansion plan, planning to train 600,000 main forces, two million reserve, including naval fleets including four battleships, and so on.

It stands to reason that this is a piece of fat, and no one can refuse fat.

The weapons and ammunition required by the 600,000 army alone are not a small number. Conservative estimates, hundreds of thousands of guns, hundreds of guns are always required.

These guns, even if they can't get all orders, are no problem to take some firearms orders and add production line orders. The logistics support of these firearms and the maintenance operation of the production line.

The aircraft carrier bought by Aan 1 dollar spent more than 3 billion US dollars in subsequent supporting and maintenance costs. After buying it, the oil leakage was disconnected today.

Anyway, this is a large transaction that the British will drool.

but! The key points, but Nanhua did not pick up, and declined this list euphemistically.

If it is real gold and silver, South China will really pick up, but the poor Turkish Empire's vomiting blood, where the money comes from, is a loan account.

Finding Nanhua is not because of South China's military strength, it is the opposite, because South China is "weak enough."

If he is weak enough, the ambition will be smaller, and the possibility of controlling him is also smaller. Maybe he can rely on some accounts.

It happened that Ottoman owed a huge loan in South China.

But Nanhua did not follow his intention and rejected the proposal.

Then, South China Mo Mo revealed the proposal to a German "legal businessman" shortly in Arabia.

When the Germans knew the news, it was an excitement!

Army, Germany, the first, who dares to call the second?

South China? Is the poor ghost in that remote area, with the European contribution?

So, under the urging of William II, Germany quickly reached an attitude with the Ottomans - cooperation! All-round cooperation!

The Ottomans were still a little hesitant, but the Germans gave too much, too much.

From economic aid, to military technology transfer, to factory construction, the Germans provided a one-stop service.

Such high conditions directly exceeded the Ottomans' expectations.

So, the cooperation between the Ottomans and the Germans quickly got on track, but just after the agreement was just landed, I don't know how the British got the news...

Will the British endure it? No! It won't.

Even before the British Cabinet made a final decision, the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet had already started to act and began to impose an embargo on the Ottoman Empire.

And the British government didn't wait long to take out the results of the handling, sent a note to the two governments, and protested.

The protests of big countries and small countries are not the same thing, and the protests of the hegemons of the great powers are not the same thing.

The difference is like the China in the 1980s and 1990s and the 1920s and 1930s, or even much greater than that.

"The British Empire strongly opposes secret diplomacy, which is extremely likely to lead to diplomatic misunderstandings. In order to avoid too many disputes, the British Empire hopes that all countries can communicate frankly and friendly..."

"Any secret diplomacy that may affect the regional balance and the interests of the British Empire, the British Empire will take action without hesitation, and hopes that all countries will give more consideration to avoid misunderstandings..."

This is a diplomatic statement made by the British Foreign Office.

But in fact, just before this diplomatic statement was issued, Cyril approached Xu Hui, hoping that Nanhua could cooperate with Britain to impose an embargo on the Ottoman Empire.

Because Nanhua's Mesopotamia region directly borders the Ottoman Empire, and Basra also has a railway directly to Istanbul.

If Nanhua does not cooperate with the British to impose an embargo, then the British blockade is actually quite empty, unless the British can block the south of the Strait of Hormuz.

However, the British are not willing to do this. In terms of strength comparison in the Far East, Nanhua is the first echelon of local countries.

Britain needs the Far East to maintain stability in order to focus more on Europe. Once a war breaks out, Nanhua is its only ally choice.

Of course, this does not mean that the British have given up on Japan. On the contrary, the British are still supporting Japan.

However, in terms of allies, what the British need is not a specific country, but a stable and strong country that can balance regional forces.

If Japan can show stronger strength than South China, the British will also choose Japan as an ally.

However, even with the blood transfusion from Britain and the United States, the Japanese economy is too wasteful.

Having lost the big blood bag of China and encountered the economic blockade of South China, Japan's economy cannot support a war-at least the British think so.

The arms race and the maintenance of colonies have involved a lot of British energy and financial resources, and there is not enough money to transfuse blood to Japan like the Russo-Japanese War.

Therefore, the British do not value Japan very much at present.

One hundred nautical miles southwest of Hawaii, a giant ship is speeding on the vast ocean.

"What was the speed just now?" Li Fengping, captain of the Java Island, asked, holding the navigation instrument.

"The highest speed reached 31 knots, probably because of the ocean current. The average speed was 7 knots, which exceeded the initial plan. However, the long-term operation caused some damage to the equipment."

"After running at full power for one hour and 42 minutes, a steam pipe was slightly damaged due to vibration, but fortunately no casualties were caused..."

The first mate reported the problems one by one, all of which were minor problems.

This is the Java Island, which is undergoing sea trials. Because of the early leak, it has to come to this open sea for sea trials.

There are three destroyer fleets with a total of 18 destroyers in the surrounding 50 nautical miles, blocking the entire sea area. In the era when there were no satellites and submarines, this was enough to keep it secret.

It's just that the battle is too big, the target is big, and it is easy to be discovered, but since the secret has been leaked anyway, it doesn't matter.

"They are all minor problems. They can be used after a little repair on the battlefield, and there will not be much impact."

"Almost, prepare for firepower test." Li Fengping looked at the time, calculated the speed, and almost reached the target sea area.

"Right front, target found!" The observer shouted at the right time.

"Sound the battle alarm, clear the deck, prepare the main guns, and try the new aiming system..." Before Li Fengping finished speaking, the first mate suddenly handed him a telegram.

"Headquarters ordered that after completing the sea trial, we will go to Hawaii Port for replenishment, and then sail directly to the east of Japan." The first mate said softly.

"The first mate will take over the command. You keep an eye on it, I'll go to the communication room." Li Fengping nodded, took a breath, and patted the first mate on the shoulder.

"Everything remains the same, and each main gun aims on its own." The first mate nodded and shouted.
