"American ship?" When he got the news, De Mons was almost like being cuckolded, which was incredible.

At this time, the United States regarded the whole of Latin America as its own backyard, and had little intention of the East and Europe, although it forced the Qing government to sign the Treaty of Wangxia and opened the door to Japan with black ships, but this was also the limit of the expansion of the United States of America in the Far East.

De Mons even had a sense of indignation: "Can't those betrayed subjects of the British Empire still find a sane politician?" This is China, not Cuba, have they forgotten the lessons of the French? ”

The defeat of the French can be considered one of the most painful defeats in the history of Western colonization, and no one could have imagined that Napoleon's army would suffer four-figure losses at the hands of some Eastern barbarians, and although the war ended in a compromise with France on the part of the Rainbow Army, Napoleon III's position was degraded at home and abroad because of this war.

"The Russians pay for it, and the Americans are only responsible for the transportation, and their demand is only that they must not attack the merchant ......ships flying the American flag," Fumar said sarcastically, "If the American merchant ships are attacked or inspected by certain forces, it will definitely cause more backlash." ”

Not only is there more backlash, there are patriots in the southern part of the United States, even if a bullet grazes the American flag, it will cause a bigger storm, but De Mons still doesn't understand: "Don't they understand that this is a market of 400 million people, this is the market with the most development potential in the whole world, and there are many American friends in Shanghai who share the same voice with us." ”

Fumar continued to mock the Americans: "They claim to be a bunch of Puritans, but they become crazy when faced with multimillion-dollar orders, and St. Petersburg gives them a lot of orders. ”

Even during the Soviet era, the Soviet Union's industrialization was still dependent on the export of technology and equipment from the United States. The Five-Year Plan was often driven by American machinery and technology, so much so that some Americans called it "Silent Suicide," but the two countries were more closely linked during the Tsarist years.

Russia is a rather conservative people. Only defeat will give him the motivation to forge ahead, and the Crimean War, which has just ended, has made the Russians realize that they have completely lagged behind the world, and that the technological superiority they once had in the early days of the war in the Turkish army was ravaged by the British and French in the middle of the war.

The Black Sea Fleet, the most powerful navy in the history of Tsarist Russia, had no choice but to face the British and French sail battleships and steam warships, and disappeared from the battlefield without firing a single shell. And their infantry and artillery remained victorious in the Napoleonic era, until the bullets fired from the Minnie rifle ruthlessly shattered all dreams.

The empire needed to be rebuilt, and the railroads, fleets, steam engines, steamships, Mini rifles, and the resulting technical orders resulted in a staggering amount of orders. Now American shipyards have grabbed a big order to rebuild the Black Sea fleet. And they can get more orders.

It was precisely for this reason that the American capitalists were able to extract millet from the fire in St. Petersburg, and then sail shipwretches of American ships to Guangzhou, Shantou, Qingdao, Dagu, and Qinhuangdao, and arm the Qing troops with weak firepower.

"This is a big problem!" De Mons understands why arms prices have been rising all of East Asia lately. It's all this group of damned Americans.

Now the Rainbow Army already has a lot of armed paddle steamer warships, but most of these warships are built for inland river missions, even if they can go to sea to carry out tasks, they can only sail in the coastal waters, and what is more terrible is that the domestic rebound factor in the United States must be considered, how the second Anglo-American war was triggered. Deemmons knows all about this.

Fumar immediately threw an even heavier bomb: "It's just part of the big trouble." ”

"And?"

De Mons immediately made a calculation in his hand, although Sun Huzi's Fujian Military Region has now taken almost all of Fujian, but the newly occupied security maintenance has brought them to the limit, and due to the lack of Liu Chang's continuous support, these already quite tired combat units have begun to recuperate, and focus on the maintenance of the security area.

Western arms offered at this time. Even a batch of broken copper and iron from the Napoleonic era can greatly improve the morale, firepower and combat effectiveness of the Qing army in Guangdong. As China's most developed province in foreign trade, Governor Ye should be able to easily assemble a force armed with Western firearms.

He didn't dare to imagine it anymore, and now he heard Fumar say that "this is just part of the big trouble", and he suddenly became nervous: "Wouldn't that greatly affect the market of public debt?" Is there any country involved?"

"Yes, and an old colonial empire!" Fumar replied: "The Kingdom of Spain has agreed that the Volunteers can assist the Chinese government in quelling the rebellion. ”

"Spain? These Catholics are really crazy, do they know what they do? De Mons quickly figured it out: "Are they for the Philippines?" ”

"That's right!" Fumar admired De Mons's acumen: "You are not wrong at all, the Spaniards were frightened by the defeat of the French, so they were determined to intervene appropriately. ”

Britain and France in this time and space are happy to see the rise of a strong China, not only can contain the Russians who have been in confrontation with Britain and France for a long time, but this is the world's largest potential market, at least the conflict with the Chinese side may encounter, they have not considered it at all.

France only has some potential influence in Vietnam, and although Britain has extended its tentacles into Burma, after all, it has gone through several Anglo-Burmese wars to finalize, and as for British India, as long as the Chinese do not go crazy, it is impossible to cross the snow line to attack the impression itself.

The Spaniards are different, their richest and most important colony, the Philippines, is across the sea from the Chinese mainland, so he least wants a strong Chinese regime, and now Fumar scolded bluntly: "These stupid pigs of the East Indies, if they want to extinguish the rebels, they should have done it sooner, and when the French failed, they would not think of doing it, it was too late!"

It is indeed too late, even if the Russians, the Americans and Spain intervene, but now the Rainbow Army occupies the territory of 100 million people, if they do not make a fatal mistake, it will be a matter of time before the unification of China is a problem.

Therefore, De Mons is very grateful to Fumar, and on behalf of Liu Chang and the entire Hongjun, he thanked Fumar for his selfless support: "Thank you so much, if it weren't for your selflessness and grand spirit, we might have made the biggest mistake in history!"

In his eyes, now that the Rainbow Army has learned the news of the Spaniards' intervention in advance, it will be able to respond in time, even if the Spaniards can invest 20,000 volunteers like the French, it will not change the overall situation.

But Fumar's tone was still very serious: "There is still a trouble!"

"What's the trouble?"

De Mons now asked respectfully: "I will faithfully convey your friendship to His Majesty the Emperor and his government. ”

Now he has regarded himself as Liu Chang's agent, and although he has many personal thoughts, he has maintained the most thorough agreement with the entire Hongjun on these matters of principle.

He has already bet too much on Hongjun, and even pressed his net worth and sexuality, and now there is no way out.

Fumar first sighed, his face became a little dazed, and then he decided to speak: "It is not only the Russians, Americans, and Spaniards who have decided to encircle China, but also the Portuguese and the Netherlands!"

These colonizers have always been very concerned about the pan-East Asian cultural circle with China as the core, for fear that one day Chinese suddenly plant their dragon flag all over the Southeast Asian world, so Portugal and the Netherlands will do everything possible to hinder it behind their backs, even if they do not come forward directly......

Although the Netherlands is De Mons's homeland, De Mons replied firmly: "Although I used to be a Dutch citizen, I am now a loyal soldier of the Rainbow Army, and I will not allow my country to go to the precipice on the wrong course!"

De Mons's statement was immediately echoed by Fumar, who felt he had found a soulmate, someone to confide in.

He was also a British citizen, a British diplomat, and now he had to be condemned inwardly for violating the basic norms of a diplomat by revealing British diplomatic secrets to the people he worked for.

Although he secretly told himself that it was all worth it, that you would get tens of thousands of pounds in return in Ningbo Port, and that as long as the Hongjun had more success, you could get more, but the inner uneasiness told him that you were betraying the Queen.

And now that he had found his soulmate, he decided to tell De Muns all his secrets, to the Emperor behind him, and he told himself that it was for the sake of peace and friendship between the two countries.

To this end, Fumar said: "Not only the Portuguese and the Dutch, but also some unscrupulous people in the British government, are secretly attacking Her Majesty's China policy and making some extremely bad proposals. ”

As soon as Fumar spoke, Deemmons already understood, and he shouted directly: "What era is it now!" It's a new century of civilization, but you British are still plotting those old things about the balance of power on the continent, using us Dutch to contain the Spaniards, the Spaniards to contain the French, the French to contain the Russians, and the Russians to deal with the French, and you are also using these things in the Far East, what are those rotten diplomats doing!"

Fumar hugged Demons tightly: "That's right, what you said is so good!"

Tears have flowed from De Mons: "Let's rebuild peace and order in East Asia, we can call this new order ......"

"East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere!"
