Nuclear Martial Emperor 207_The full text of Nuclear Martial Emperor is free to read_Chapter 207 The precious friendship like brothers comes from

The reason why World War I broke out was because the European continent pursued the domineering concept of "power is justice", and every country tried to compete for its hegemony in the world through military strength.

It is also because of this that Britain has maintained great greed for ** for a long time.

In August 1912, shortly after China and France concluded a military alliance and China and Britain reached the Sino-British Treaty on Reciprocity and Trade, the British Foreign Ministry wrote in a secret Memorandum of the Situation of Countries Neighboring Borders in Northeast India, "

It is necessary to be sure of the new status of **, that is, "When ** is nominally maintaining its autonomous country under China's sovereignty, ** should essentially be in a position that relies absolutely on the Indian government." "The ** country should be very sincere

It belongs entirely to the British power.”

Britain hoped to turn "**" into a "buffer country" around the British Empire's Indian colony, only nominally retaining China's sovereignty, while the actual regime was controlled by the Indian colonial government.

The conflict between Britain and Germany continues to be brewing in Europe. Britain, France and Russia have signed the Three Kingdoms Agreement, and China and France have also signed the military alliance agreement. Relying on the strength and power of the British Empire, that is, axiomism, Britain has continued to appoint a number of expedition teams to enter southern Tibet, the Chinese Empire.

The survey and patrol detachment commissioned by the Ministry of Land and Resources also intensively operated in this area. The UK pulled out all the border stones set up by the survey team, resulting in multiple conflicts between the two sides over the border stone.

The plan of the British Minister of Indian Affairs h.crewe is to convene a tripartite meeting between China, Britain and Tibet to force China to recognize its status as an autonomous country and buffer country. On this basis, the UK can leave China alone to negotiate all issues with the ***.

And you don’t have to pay attention to China anymore. If China has any objections, then answer them with the British Empire’s Invincible Fleet.

What arrogance!

Such arrogance is not a problem of a minister in Britain, but a problem of the entire Britain and a problem of the entire Europe. Therefore, the First World War will inevitably break out, and the arrogance of old Europe is destined to destroy them.

The Foreign Minister of the British Colonial Government, McMahon, also proposed a demarcation line at this time. That is, the so-called McMahon Line, just like the countless border heritage left to China by the British Empire, this is another very evil demarcation of inequality.

Line. Relying on the strength of the British Empire, he madly occupied other people's territory.

However, the Chinese imperial cabinet government did not agree with the UK's request to convene a tripartite meeting between China, Britain and Tibet, and at the same time rejected any threats from Britain. The two sides fought bravely and even ruthlessly in political and diplomatic relations, and did not get it until 1914

Draw any conclusions.

World politics is always complex. Thinking simply by understanding alliances will definitely suffer, because there will never be real allies between countries, there are only a group of rats who speculate and touch dogs. Similarly, governments of various countries are also complicated.

Changeable, some people are close to China, some are close to China, some are close to Britain, and some are close to Germany. All the variables are entangled together, and it is an indecisive international politics like a shit-like thing.

So, politics is the dirtiest thing in the world, and war is the cruelest thing in the world.

As the ruler of the country, you should be both dirty and cruel, wring out the blood of other countries and the people of your own country and squeeze out all the results you want.

Again, this is the truth about World War I.

...

After Song Biao returned to Beijing.

In April 1914, the Imperial Central Currency Reserve Administration converted all foreign exchange reserves such as marks, rubles, francs and other foreign exchange held by the Imperial government into gold on the grounds of increasing gold reserves. This exchange continued in October last year.

The pound and US dollars held by the empire invested in securities markets of various countries under the permission of the trade treaty and purchased large amounts of securities of companies related to war.

For the imperial central government, if the war does not break out, it will be a happy event, which is beneficial to China's long-term and stable development at this stage. If the war breaks out, the government's investment will fully reduce losses and balance foreign exchange risks.

At this time, the total assets of Vickers, the largest military industry, the UK's largest monopoly group, was 18 million pounds, the capital scale of Sweden's Nobel Company was roughly equivalent, while the total assets of DuPont Company in the United States were about 4 million pounds.

The Imperial Central Foreign Exchange Administration holds a large number of shares in these three companies through the securities market and further buys shares in other related industries in the international market, including further buying out long-term futures contracts for US Glauber's salt in Chicago.

Using this as a comparison, it seems that the scale of China** Industry has expanded in the past four years. The total capital of the six major arsenals in the Empire and the three major shipbuilding plants in Jinzhou, Fuzhou and Jiangnan is close to 70 million pounds.

Far East Weapons Corporation, Far East Chemical Corporation, and Far East Shipping Corporation are the three major giants in the China-** industrial industry, monopolizing more than 75% of the production capacity.

Two years after the implementation of the Industrial Science Management Act, the Empire has greatly accepted Taylor's scientific management ideas and systems, especially in industries such as metallurgy, textiles, mining, and food based on human advantages.

The system has been more popularized by the Far East Consortium.

During his inspection in the Northeast, Song Biao fully realized this, so he said that China was ready to take advantage of the First World War to launch an impact on the status of industrial countries.

...

On June 28, 1914, Gavrino Princip, a member of the "Magic Hands Club" in Seville, assassinated the Austro-Hungarian Empire's Grand Duke Ferdinand in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia. The "Serbian Magic Hands Club" organization pursued Yugoslavia.

Unified policy, hoping to achieve this goal by assassinating the powerful people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. There is no doubt that the Anglicans have always had some kind of disconnection with such organizations, which is in Wenche, used by Gavrino Princip

The Stem1910 semi-automatic pistol is particularly obvious.

The blast structure of the Winchester M1910 semi-automatic pistol is basically the same as that of the Type 92 pistol. In 1911, it officially became a standard pistol for the Central Defense Forces and the National Police, and since then it became a standard semi-automatic pistol for France, Russia, Greece, Mexico and other countries.

In the empire, the formal model of this pistol was p3. The first Nagan revolver to be equipped with the troops was p1, and the subsequently equipped with the mausoleum gun was p2, also known as the "three-type pistol".

During the Second Balkan Battle, the p3 pistol was sold in large quantities to the Balkans, making it difficult to find out the source of this pistol.

What many people don't know is that this incident is not a coincidence to some extent. The organizer and leader of the Mafia Club was Colonel Dracula, the intelligence director of the Serbian General Staff. Before Grand Duke Ferdinand visited Bosnia.

The government had already learned about this in advance and persuaded Grand Duke Ferdinand to interrupt the itinerary and sent intelligence personnel to stop the assassins. However, with the obstruction of some other government officials and military leaders, several assassins successfully entered Sarajevo.

The Intelligence Department of the Serbian General Staff has close contact and cooperation with the Imperial Central Military Intelligence Department. As for whether the Central Military Intelligence Department is involved in this incident, it is unknown, but at the time of this incident, the Central Committee

Chen Qicai, deputy chief of staff of the General Staff of the Military Department, did visit Serbia.

As everyone is familiar with, a "studying incident" has involved the entire Europe in an unprecedented crisis.

This incident was only used by the European powers. In fact, the war was already in preparation. The Austro-Hungarian Empire wanted to officially annex Serbia, and it was not as short as a year or two. Everything was ready. All the powers believed that they had prepared the most.

It takes a big decisive battle to defeat the opponent. They can sign a contract that forces the opponent to make major concessions and demand an astonishing war claim from the opponent.

No one expected it to be a truly protracted world war.

The German-Austrian alliance began to actively promote the war that could solve all these problems. They were actively mobilizing each other and not giving their opponents any chance. Because Germany firmly believed that if war started now, it would be the best choice for Germany, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was

Decline, and Russia is becoming stronger.

On July 20, French President Pengal and Prime Minister Vivinia visited Russia together and held a grand meeting with the Tsar. Together, they declared "a precious friendship between the navy and the army and allies that are as close as brothers."

Also on this evening, Emperor Hua Song Biao held a small cabinet tutoring meeting in Xuanzhengyuan. Except for Foreign Minister Ouyang Geng in Russia, important cabinet ministers attended.

Three magnificent crystal chandeliers illuminate the entire conference room as bright as daytime. On the conference table of the gorgeous and exquisite wenge, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of the Navy, the Secretary of the Army and the Director of the State Administration of Taxation Ouyang Xi, the General Administration of Customs

Director Liang Shiyi has arrived, and Rong Yaoyuan of the Central Monetary Reserves Administration also attended the meeting.

Jiang Fangzhen, the chief of staff of the Central Military Department, has not arrived yet because he has to wait for an important secret information. All other officials should have arrived.

As the emperor, Song Biao had arrived one step long ago, and sat in the seat and was waiting silently, and was not in a hurry to hold a meeting.

Speaking of the three crystal chandeliers above his head, it was very interesting. He originally planned to buy them from France, but Song Biao felt that it would be a pity to earn such funds for France. He always adhered to the economic principle of "reducing imports and increasing exports".

Therefore, the General Administration of Neijing re-convened the palace craftsmen and the craftsmen of the Imperial House during the Qing government. The General Administration of Neijing invested in the establishment of a company in Beijing, specializing in the production of luxury goods, and cooperated with Far East Electric Company to customize the products.

Crystal chandeliers.

I saved a lot of money at the beginning, but later many people were always worried that the crystal chandeliers would suddenly fall apart. Ministers often looked up and took a look more after a long time. After a while, I got used to it. Anyway, three crystals were all three.

Even if all the chandeliers were smashed, they would definitely not be able to hit Song Biao.

This is a small matter, but there are still many troubles caused by the cabinet government. We handle affairs in a similar way everywhere, and reduce as much as possible where imports can be reduced, and do everything that can be reduced.

Possible reduction in expenditures. After all, the General Administration of Investigation of the Central Bureau of Investigation is not subject to the control of the cabinet ministers, just like the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, they are moving around the country. Who knows where these people will sue.

After waiting for a few minutes, Chief of Staff Jiang Fangzhen hurried in with the latest new information. After entering the door, he bowed to the emperor alone, and then submitted the information to the emperor alone.

Song Biao took a rough look and realized that it was the joint declaration of French President Penalle and the Tsar.

He combined the intelligence files and handed them back to Jiang Zuobin, the first-class eunuch behind him, and said, "Since you have all arrived, then let's hold a formal meeting. Regarding this tutoring, I will tell you a short story, French Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ba

Stede arrived in Beijing two days ago and had already met with Prime Minister Tang. He also met me yesterday. China and France are military alliances. According to the military alliance agreement, once France is attacked, our country must send troops to reinforce. It is just about the number of troops sent,

There was no clear agreement between the two sides, and I talked about this matter with Pasteur. The promise was to send troops to war against German military armed forces in Asia based on the situation of France, and the French Asian fleet would assist our army in combat. Of course, this promise was

Based on the premise that France and Germany have started a war. The current situation in Europe is still in a very chaotic situation, and the war must be launched. It is only a matter of size. As for the known information, Britain has not decided to participate in the war.

The three-country agreement signed by Britain and Russia and France is not a real military alliance agreement. If Russia and France go to war with Germany and Austria, Britain may be neutral. However, this neutrality is meaningless in theory, because once Britain is neutral, Germany and Austria defeat Russia.

If France is the case, Britain will be completely isolated and will eventually be replaced by Germany as the world overlord. So I think as long as the Austro-Hungarian Empire enters Serbia, Britain will definitely participate in the war. It only takes a more appropriate reason, as well as the time to go

Problem. So, even if France and Germany go to war, and the French Far East Fleet is willing to join forces with the Imperial Navy to start war against Germany, we should wait for Britain's actions."

After Song Biao finished speaking, Jiang Zuobin distributed the German naval and military armed statistics tables in East Asia and the Pacific to every cabinet minister present.

Germany's military armed forces in the Far East are not strong, and are mainly concentrated in Qingdao, with the leased land in Jiaodong Bay. The army is about 6,000, which is only equivalent to a reduced brigade in the German army. The German Far East Fleet in China and the Pacific region

The total tonnage is about 60,000 tons. The most deterrent effect on the Central Imperial Navy is an armored cruiser and two old ironclad ships. The others are mainly light cruisers, and they are generally not as good as the French Asian fleet in Vietnam."

After signing the Sino-French military alliance, France temporarily retained the right to lease at Zhanjiang Port. The South China Sea Fleet of the Imperial Central Navy also frequently entered Zhanjiang Port and carried out cooperative training with the French Asian fleet. It also took advantage of this opportunity to strengthen the navy with the help of France.

training.

Overall, the German Navy has little threat. As long as the French Asian fleet and the Imperial Central Navy unite, they can easily defeat the German Navy, while the German Army's threat to the Central Army can be ignored.

The ministers here naturally have a common question in their hearts, that is, what should we do if Germany wins in Europe?

Yes, it is easy to eat German troops in Asia now, but what should China do after Germany defeats France? At this time, many people in the cabinet do not want to declare war on Germany, but are only subject to the Sino-French alliance. It is really

I don’t know what to do, and some people even proposed that China win over Germany and France to continue the negotiations.

Fortunately, the emperor is Song Biao, Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi and Foreign Minister Ouyang Geng are also sensible. China does not have such international reputation and influence yet. Everyone was very excited when borrowing loans from France. Now it is time to pay back the debt.

Just scared.

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Song Biao understood what kind of worry you had and said, "I know that many people still don't want to participate in the war, or they are nominally involved in the war, but they actually don't send any troops. Such an idea is unsuccessful.

If you want to revive the Chinese nation, you must create a powerful Chinese empire, a real big country, that is, keep your word in the international world. Only in this way can you win the respect of other countries in the world. Even if we are ultimately defeated, as long as we fight the nation.

The dignity and the prestige of the Central Defense Forces, as long as they have the strength in their hands, can scare foreign countries, even if Germany defeated Britain, France and Russia in Europe, they would not be able to continue to run to Asia and continue to fight with us in a crazy way. So, this is a

There is a real good opportunity for the Empire to fulfill its promises. Of course, a deputy foreign minister is enough to make us come forward to make a promise that we can send troops and solemnly fulfill its promises. We ask France to send a truly top official with a strong weight to come over."
