You must know that among Westerners, Germany is the most capable of fighting.
As for the red bear, in fact, the bear is not very good at fighting, it is completely relying on the vast territory, large population and resources to consume the Germans.
And a major mistake Germany made in World War II was that they did not have a strategic bomber fleet, and French bombing had been transferred to the bear industry east of the Ural Mountains. [
For China, this problem does not exist. As long as China takes over the later Kazakhstan region, that is, the Central Asia region at lightning speed, it will be able to bomb the Mao Xiong all over the country. No matter how adaptable it is to combat in extreme cold, the end result is just death.
Therefore, Jiang Yu will not get involved in the First World War. China's industrial base is still very weak, and it will take a long time to develop to compete with Europe and the United States.
This development time may be 20 years!
After 20 years, the children of this generation in China will be able to grow up. At that time, China will have the capital to challenge the whole world.
At that time, the whole world will inevitably tremble, and the Chinese nation will inevitably stand on the pinnacle of the world again, and overturn the Western world system.
This is Jiang Yu's ultimate goal.
The outbreak of the Second World War will be 30 years later, and 30 years will be precious 30 years for China.
Thirty years is enough for China to train enough engineers and technicians, and it is also enough for China to form a huge war potential.
Zhu Erdian hurriedly bid farewell in a very bad mood. After getting in the car, Zhu Erdian immediately began to write a telegram, preparing to send it back to England as quickly as possible.
He began to think, was it a wrong choice to support this young man?
But Zhu Erdian quickly put this issue behind him. There is no right or wrong with money, only whether you have it or not.
Apparently the young man got him money.
The friendship between the two parties is actually maintained by money.
Just after Zhu Erdian left, Jiang Yu walked back and forth to think.
"Well! It's time to give the poison gas technology to the Germans." Jiang Yu thought for a while, then called Sun Zhendong and ordered him to hand over the poison gas technology to Germany.
Germany already has mustard gas at this time. Mustard gas was synthesized in the 90s of the last century, but it has been in private research laboratories in Germany.
However, Germany did not have poison gas technology at this time, and they had poison gas tanks.
Both sides of the war With the advent of trench warfare, small-caliber artillery is useless, but it is very good for releasing poison gas.
Jiang Yu handed over the poison gas technology to Germany, and Germany will soon be able to change their 77mm rapid-fire guns into artillery that fires poison gas. [
Soon Sun Zhendong called and reported Germany's reply to Jiang Yu. Sun Zhendong said: "The Germans said that they are very grateful for your help to the German Empire, but they hope that China can directly participate in the war. They say this is a war. Feast, if you go late, you won't get a share of the food."
"Call back the Germans and tell them that China is still in a difficult situation where China has just completed reunification, and it will take a certain amount of time to develop. Although China will not join the Allies, it will definitely not fall to the Allies."
"Yes." Sun Zhendong replied, then hung up the phone, and then sent a telegram to Germany, sending out Jiang Yu's original words.
Germany still regrets that China has never meant to participate in the war.
Originally China and Japan had a war, and Germany was happy for a while, which may mean that it has an additional ally in the Far East.
Of course, I also worry that China will not be able to defeat Japan, so that Chinese law can play a sufficient role in the Far East.
However, the next development was far beyond Germany's expectations, and Japan was defeated cleanly by China.
The United Fleet was bombed and sunk!
Nearly a million armies were annihilated!
Taiwan and Korea were recovered and liberated by China.
Japan's maritime traffic was completely blocked by China's army and navy. At this time, Japan was constantly bombed by Chinese planes every day.
It's unbelievable.
Even the media from various countries who ridiculed China's overreaching and wanting to block Japan's shipping have now shut up, and they are all blushing for the original reports.
China has demonstrated a strong war quality in the war against Japan, and its military combat capability is very strong.
This made Germany's mind active again. If China can be drawn into the allies, Germany can work with China to attack Russia on both sides.
At that time, Russia will inevitably surrender quickly.
After Russia surrendered, China could continuously import power to the European battlefield through the Russian railway. At that time, not only would Germany not need to fight on two fronts, but it would also be able to increase its combat power in Europe.
In this way, although there is nothing to do in terms of maritime interests, a super land power can be established on land.
As long as there are enough resources, Germany will inevitably rise to become the world's number one power.
However, when Germany sent an invitation to China, China has never agreed to this invitation, no matter what attractive conditions Germany offers.
The answers were all 'glorious neutral'.
China's neutrality made Germany very sad and regretful, but China was able to beat Japan to the ground, which also made Germany happy. You must know that Japan had already declared war on Germany. If Japan had not been beaten to the ground, the Germans would definitely send troops. Support the European battlefield. [
It looks like the Allies have made a profit.
Moreover, although China is producing military orders for the Allied Powers, what they produce are all things with little technology, and the most technological content is the aircraft.
But China is also supplying Germany with advanced military technology.
Such as fighter jets!Such as poisonous gas!
And those chariots that I don't know are useful!
At the same time, China is still manufacturing submarines for Germany, so that the number of German submarines is constantly increasing rapidly, and the trade between China and Germany is also being carried out rapidly.
Both sides are building transport submarines.
Once these transport submarines are launched, the two countries will be able to trade.
As for the issue that China is trading military supplies with the Russians, the Germans are not worried at all, because since China will not sell advanced arms to the Russians, how the Russians transport these ordinary arms is a problem that makes them in a hurry.
The Russians mobilized too many soldiers.
Even the food supplies of Russian soldiers on the front line cannot be guaranteed, and the level of logistical chaos is very embarrassing.
Even if Russia buys arms, it may not be able to be transported to the front line. Even if it can be transported to the front line, this means that the supply of other materials will inevitably decrease.
Because the Russian railway is just one line leading to the front line, the Germans know how much they can transport.
But even so, Nicholas II of Russia is still continuously purchasing arms from China. Nicholas II, who is aloof as a monarch, obviously doesn't understand the following issues.
All he knew was that no arms should be purchased.
However, Russia did not purchase any guns in terms of arms procurement, because Russia's pre-war gun reserves reached 1000 to [-] million rounds, and there is no need to purchase them yet.
What needs to be purchased is a rifle and a gun.
There are about 33 soldiers on the Russian front without guns, and they don't know what they can do on the battlefield empty-handed. Maybe they are of no use except digging trenches as coolies, and it also increases the logistical pressure.
But the Russians did not settle this account, and their poor logistics system is indeed jaw-dropping.
The Russians fought wars by using people to pile them up.
The profit of arms is high, even though it is an ordinary rifle and mule.Moreover, what the Russians purchased was not their own rifles, but the Mauser rifles replaced by China.
You have to buy it from China.
Of course, the Russians who used the Mauser rifle can also use the guns captured from the German army.
……
On the other hand, Zhu Erdian quickly sent the telegram back to the UK.
After the British cabinet saw the telegram, British Prime Minister Herbert?Henry?Asquith was furious, and said bitterly: "The British Empire has agreed to abolish China's unequal treaties, and also agreed to China's recovery of concessions and railways. What else do the Chinese want? They are making progress."
"Mr. Asquith, obviously the Chinese don't think this is an exchange condition of the British Empire, but think that those things should not be imposed on China. However, after China's war against Japan, China has indeed become a The capital of a big country." Asquith's secretary whispered to him.
Asquith had to admit that what the secretary said was reasonable. As a big country, it was normal to abolish unequal treaties, and it was impossible to continue to maintain those unequal treaties.
Realizing this, when China abolished unequal treaties, no country had any objections.
No country would go to war with China at this time for these unequal treaties. It would be a stupid act of no benefit, so China successfully abolished the unequal treaties.
But this does not mean that China has been satisfied.
As a rising power, it is normal to ask for overseas benefits, and it is under the condition that it can be sold for a price.
"And if we don't stabilize China, the consequences will be very serious."
"Cabinet meeting at once!" said Asquithney. It was a bad day.
Soon the cabinet meeting was held, and the British politicians agreed that if China fell to the Allies, it would inevitably lead to a complete erosion of the war situation.
The strength of the Chinese Army should not be underestimated. The Chinese Army has a lot of advanced equipment. Although it looks like a loser, its combat effectiveness is indeed very strong.
What makes the UK not to be underestimated is China's industrial capabilities, which can be seen from its exports to the UK.
China's aircraft manufacturing industry is huge, and it is the country with the most powerful aircraft production capacity in the world. The United States cannot compare with it.
Once China falls to the Allies, the Allies will first lose China, a neutral country that is currently serving as an arsenal for Britain, while the Allies will gain these production capabilities.
"It is not impossible to meet the conditions of the Chinese. Their appetite for colonial needs is not great. They just want a large desert, and this large desert has not been occupied by the British Empire. If the British Empire disagrees, the Chinese can still send The troops occupied the blank area of the peninsula. Moreover, the Chinese did not want the colony of Yemen, and the canal was still in the hands of the British Empire. Just give it to China." A cabinet member expressed his opinion.
"Why do the Chinese want such a worthless colony? It's really strange." Another cabinet member spoke, his words were full of doubts.
"The Chinese obviously draw it by looking at the map. Maybe they don't even know that there is a desert. And the Chinese really don't want to participate in this war. It can be seen from their large investment in the colonies of the British Empire. .If there is a war, those investments will be ruined. Maybe they really just want to find a random colony to appease the people and those radical young officers."
During the cabinet meeting, these British cabinet members could not figure out what China wanted this colony for.
And one of the problems they face is that the UK has not completely occupied the Arabian Peninsula. If the UK had just warned China before the war broke out, it would be effective if they were not allowed to enter the Arabian Peninsula, but it is obviously impossible now.
How can the UK care about the Middle East issue? The Chinese really want to squeeze into the Arabian Peninsula, and the UK can't stop it.
In addition, if China’s request is not agreed to, China is very likely to fall to the allies, and the Arabian Peninsula itself is a barren land. Except for those areas occupied by the United Kingdom, there are some agricultural resources. Although there are many oases in the unoccupied areas, in Britain seems worthless.
Even if it occupies a place, it is of little value.
There is no big deal in ceding this barren land to China, if it can be exchanged for China's neutrality and even an attack on the Ottoman Empire.
Moreover, now that the Ottoman Empire is participating in the war, the Arabian Peninsula may be attacked by the Ottoman Empire at any time. As long as the Yemen region is still controlled by the British Empire, the interests of the Suez Canal will not be lost. This is the core maritime interest of the United Kingdom in the region. .
Soon the British cabinet determined the response plan, and authorized Zhu Erdian to negotiate with China, and those conditions could be agreed to the Chinese.
If Britain recognizes China's great power status, there is no problem.
There is also no problem in getting Australia and Canada to abolish the anti-Chinese policy. In the face of war, these things can be ignored.
Especially after the cancellation of the Chinese exclusion policy, China means to invest in Australia and Canada, and Britain naturally hopes to invest as much as possible.
In this way, China has something in the hands of the United Kingdom, and the possibility of falling to the allies is much smaller.
……
While the British cabinet was discussing, Jiang Yu had ordered the navy to immediately organize its forces and temporarily abandon the plan to attack Ryukyu.
Jiang Yu asked them to go to the Arabian Peninsula first!
Some things go late and are gone.
Even if you can’t occupy the Arabian Peninsula, you must at least occupy Kuwait. In a place as big as Kuwait alone, its oil reserves will blow up China’s oil reserves. Its reserves have reached 10 of the world’s oil reserves. China will not need to be short of oil if it wins there. .
As for the later Saudi Arabia on the Arabian Peninsula, there are 28% of the world’s oil reserves there, ranking first in the world. At the same time, the later United Arab Emirates has 95% of the world’s oil reserves. If you occupy three or two places, you can Obtaining 475% of the world's oil reserves, plus China's own 7% of the world's oil reserves, China conservatively estimates that there are about 545% of the world's oil reserves, and it controls half of the world's oil.
That area will be completely occupied, and the Arabs will be completely driven out of that area. Anyway, there are not many Arabs in that area. There is not even a country formed there. It is equivalent to a main area without rule. China Getting in there is not an invasion at all.
It can only be said to establish rule and order there.
As long as China officially occupies it and drives out the Arabs and replaces them with Chinese immigrants, it will belong to China's permanent territory.
Whether it is the navy or the army, they all don't understand Jiang Yu's order. What are you doing in that barren land?
And Jiang Yu didn't explain it, but just said to the senior military officers: "In the future, it will become the source of wealth for the entire nation."
However, Jiang Yu's order had already been issued, so they could only carry it out seriously.
The first batch of troops sent to the Arabian Peninsula was determined to be 5000 people, enough to sweep across the area not occupied by the United Kingdom, which is the area of the United Arab Emirates in later generations.
But far from needing so many troops, perhaps 2000 would be enough, but Jiang Yu still asked the army to send [-] troops to go there. At the same time, he also planned to build a military airport on the peninsula and get [-] first-generation bombers to go there. Enough to deal with those Arab herdsmen.
Advanced second-generation bombers are completely unnecessary.
In less than five days, the navy was ready, divided the army that was planning to land on the Ryukyu Islands into five thousand troops, and escorted them to the Arabian Peninsula with a large amount of supplies.
The journey is more distant!
But as long as Russia is finished and China captures Central Asia, then it will be able to directly support the Arabian Peninsula from land.
Zhu Erdian also replied to Jiang Yu. He did not seek Yuan Shikai. Zhu Erdian, who is proficient in Chinese integrity, knew that it is more direct to seek this young man than Yuan Shikai.
Yuan Shikai didn't make up his mind about some things.
Especially in terms of diplomacy and foreign wars, Jiang Yu was directly under the leadership, while Yuan Shikai only took care of internal affairs, and most of them followed the path of this young man.
"The cabinet has agreed to transfer the area of Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait to China. As for the price, we still need to discuss (ps: for the convenience of reading, we directly use the names of later generations)." Zhu Erdian said to him after meeting Jiang Yu .
"As long as the price is not too outrageous, it's not a problem." Jiang Yu said directly.
"Then I think there is no problem." Zhu Erdian nodded.
Subsequently, both China and the United Kingdom sent personnel to conduct price negotiations. After a few days of negotiations, the United Kingdom sold the suzerainty of Oman (two countries at this time), the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait to China at a price of 2 million pounds, including the United Kingdom. assets.
The Brits are overjoyed, occupying these areas did not even pay the cost of 100 million pounds, as for the so-called British assets!That is to say, the port is worth a little money, and there are almost no factories or mines. This price can be described as a huge profit.
The Chinese are so stupid, they are simply fools!
The money came directly from Jiang Yu's oligarch consortium, and people at that time did not understand Jiang Yu's approach.
When China occupied this area, no oil was exploited, and no news was leaked. Until many years later, people still thought it was a barren land.
It wasn't until later that amazing oil reserves were discovered that people realized how wise Jiang Yu's decision was.
2 million pounds, in exchange for more than 50% of the world's oil reserves!
Any fool knows who made it! (To be continued. Please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)

For China, this problem does not exist. As long as China takes over the later Kazakhstan region, that is, the Central Asia region at lightning speed, it will be able to bomb the Mao Xiong all over the country. No matter how adaptable it is to combat in extreme cold, the end result is just death.

Zhu Erdian also replied to Jiang Yu. He did not seek Yuan Shikai. Zhu Erdian, who is proficient in Chinese integrity, knew that it is more direct to seek this young man than Yuan Shikai.
Yuan Shikai didn't make up his mind about some things.
Especially in terms of diplomacy and foreign wars, Jiang Yu was directly under the leadership, while Yuan Shikai only took care of internal affairs, and most of them followed the path of this young man.
"The cabinet has agreed to transfer the area of Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait to China. As for the price, we still need to discuss (ps: for the convenience of reading, we directly use the names of later generations)." Zhu Erdian said to him after meeting Jiang Yu .
"As long as the price is not too outrageous, it's not a problem." Jiang Yu said directly.
"Then I think there is no problem." Zhu Erdian nodded.
Subsequently, both China and the United Kingdom sent personnel to conduct price negotiations. After a few days of negotiations, the United Kingdom sold the suzerainty of Oman (two countries at this time), the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait to China at a price of 2 million pounds, including the United Kingdom. assets.
The Brits are overjoyed, occupying these areas did not even pay the cost of 100 million pounds, as for the so-called British assets!That is to say, the port is worth a little money, and there are almost no factories or mines. This price can be described as a huge profit.
The Chinese are so stupid, they are simply fools!
The money came directly from Jiang Yu's oligarch consortium, and people at that time did not understand Jiang Yu's approach.
When China occupied this area, no oil was exploited, and no news was leaked. Until many years later, people still thought it was a barren land.
It wasn't until later that amazing oil reserves were discovered that people realized how wise Jiang Yu's decision was.
2 million pounds, in exchange for more than 50% of the world's oil reserves!
Any fool knows who made it! (To be continued. Please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
