Chapter 914: The Americans Who Stirred Up the Situation
After the problem of taking too big a step was put aside for a while, the Manchurian Empire basically ended its own war and became a spectator with peace of mind. The battles of the Marne River and Verdun were staged as desired, and it was very enjoyable to see Guoxing Alen, but also caused heavy losses to Britain, France, Russia, Germany and other countries. Whether it was Germany's frequent requests for help, or Britain and France's repeated requests for peace, Guoxinga ignored them, and the Manchurian Empire just wanted to see the excitement, and nothing else cared.
Historically, after the Civil War, the United States threw off its debt burden and became the world's largest power. War money is very good, and it is really enjoyable to squeeze the cream of Europe's plundering of the world for 200 years. Although the Manchurian Empire was also one of the participating countries, Guoxinga did not want to give up this opportunity to make a windfall. The main comrades-in-arms of Guoxing'a, Daqing, Korea, Lanfang, and Dongshang were all involved in the war, and there was no channel for exporting arms, but Guoxinga also had a little brother who had not been taken seriously - Sulu.
Strictly speaking, Sulu was the first colony of the Manchurian Empire, the first vassal state. When Sulu belonged to Northern Manchuria, there was no shadow of Lanfang, Korea, and Dongshang! However, as the Manchurian Empire grew larger in the South Seas, Sulu, a barbaric island country, became meaningless, and although a small military port was built, almost no ships docked, as if everyone had forgotten the existence of Sulu. Sulu's customs and cultural traditions are also different from those of East Asian countries, and no one cares about him in daily interactions. The Sultan of Sulu is a stubborn and closed guy again, not only slow to react, but also difficult to mix with anything. The Manchurian Empire had several foreign wars, and the younger brothers came out one after another, but Sulu seemed to be deaf and did not make any moves. As a result, people in the Chinese cultural circle did not take him to play, and no one in the world remembered him, and Sulu was gradually ignored by everyone. This time, Goxinga needed someone to come forward to support the situation, and after looking for a big circle, he finally remembered this little Sulu.
"Brother Peter, I've been living too leisurely lately, and I'm going out to the mountains again!" Gohinga found Peter who had been semi-retired since the end of the American Civil War, after all, he knew the European market better, and Sulu really couldn't find anyone who could do business.
"The general issued an edict, I, a businessman, how dare I refuse! However, our business needs to be supported by a national background, and your great empire and vassal states are all belligerents, and I seem to lack a backing! "Big Peter, an internationally renowned arms dealer, smelled a business opportunity long before the start of the European war, but he has never intervened. This time, Guo Xing'a, who had been missing for more than ten years, suddenly looked for him and thought with his toes, and he also knew what Guo Xing'a wanted to do.
"Sulu, they haven't entered the war yet, you will become the exclusive agent of the Sulu General Directorate of Military Manufacturing!" Guoxinga arranged everything before arranging the seller.
"I am more than happy to accept this new identity! But the great general, our transport routes are not very smooth! The British had a firm grip on the Mediterranean, whether it was Germany, Austria-Hungary, or my native Italy, their doors were closed. Even if I were able to get the order, it would be difficult for us to get the goods there. "Gohina didn't want to continue fighting, everyone knew it, and Big Peter didn't mind explaining it.
"Germany and Austria-Hungary, with their world-class arsenals, they produce enough munitions for their own requirements, they don't particularly need us. The British and French arsenals are very tight, and they have very little ammunition stockpiles, so they have a higher demand and can supply you with more orders. As you said, the British have a firm grip on the Mediterranean, and the shipping lanes are very smooth! "Guoxing Acai don't support Germany, the delivery is troublesome, the customer has a lot of requirements, and there is the possibility of repayment. His target has always been the British and French, the kind of high-quality customers who can settle their payments in cash.
"Aren't you at war with England and France? The Germans will never accept that you sell arms to Britain and France! In Peter's eyes, Gohinga was the devil incarnate, a terrible fellow who wanted to sell weapons to his enemies.
"I don't even mind, what right do the Germans have to gossip! I don't care about anything, as long as I can trade hard currency, I'm happy to do business with the British, the French, not on credit! "Guo Xing'a has already begun to study the large-scale production of Bayi bars, and it doesn't matter if some gadgets are sold to Britain and France, just keep the generation difference.
"You want the Europeans to spend the last copper plate in their pockets and then shed their last drop of blood on the battlefield!" Great Peter seemed to see Satan behind Gohinga.
"Brother Peter, you won't reject me out of pity and sympathy!" Goxinga does not hide his purpose at all.
"I'm Manchurian, everything I have is here, and I'm a merchant, and I don't mind selling the rope that hangs myself at the slightest as long as the price is right!" Big Peter laughed, his heart was already darker than coal.
After the negotiation between Goxinga and Big Peter, the Sulu General Administration of Military Industry was officially put into business. The Sulu General Bureau of Military Manufacturing is strange inside and out, the largest enterprise in Sulu, from the investors, management to front-line employees, not a single Sulu person, the factory is also located in the Manchurian Empire Malay Peninsula Kluang. The weapons produced by the General Administration are very complete, none of which can be designed by Sulu, and all of them are printed with Chinese characters that the Sulu people do not understand. The output is very staggering, and the output of arms in one month of the General Directorate is enough for all Sulu citizens to play with one gun for three years. As long as you are not a fool, you can see that this Sulu Military Industry Manufacturing Bureau is the trumpet of the Changchun Military Industrial Group of the Manchurian Empire.
When Peter the Great crossed the ocean to London, he thought that everything would be the same as he had been in the Americas, and that he would become the most popular man in England and France, but the result was very different. Big Peter is well-known in the international arms circles, and everyone knows what he does, and no one in the British and French military and political circles wants to pay attention to him. Big Peter wondered, the two countries in the fierce battle were in urgent need of arms, why did they rank up as an angel who sent arms?
After a few twists and turns, Big Peter finally figured out the situation. Britain and France rejected Big Peter, first of all, because Guo Xing'a was full of bad water, and although the weapons he sold were advanced, they were always tired, and he often brought the trend of international weapons development into the ditch. When the big guys were squatting in the ditch, Guo Xing'a squatted on the edge of the ditch alone with a weapon that could suppress everyone, laughing, and kicked whoever wanted to come up. Britain and France don't want to be fooled anymore, they would rather work independent research and development than follow Guoxinga again. The second reason is even more critical, Britain and France already have arms suppliers, and Big Peter is not their only savior, this trouble-stirring bastard is the Americans on the other side of the ocean.
Britain and the United States were cousins, so as soon as the war broke out on the European continent, the British approached the United States, which was in ruins, and wanted to give them a chance to regain their strength. The United States cherishes this opportunity very much, but the Manchurians are too strict, and if the United States dares to sell arms in a big way, the Manchurian army will immediately kill them. Britain wanted to buy it, the United States wanted to sell it, and there was a Manchurian Empire in the middle, which was in the way and no one could afford to provoke it, so they could only sell it secretly. The Americans were very careful, and the Manchurian Empire, whose territory had expanded too much in an instant, was really busy with internal affairs and did not notice them for a while. But when Peter the Great came to Europe in person, everything could not be covered, and Changchun immediately learned the news.
"What else is there to say, beat him up bitch!" The hateful Americans are not only secretly developing, but also messing up their own business, and Goxinga's attitude is very simple.
The day after the news leaked, the Manchurian Empire and the Eastern Commercial Republic categorically declared war on the United States on the grounds that the United States was financing its own enemy countries. The Manchurian Army, with seven divisions and 300,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, broke through the US border defense in one day and directly entered the hinterland of the United States. Guo Xing'a, who was full of bad tastes, also did something that only he knew why. Goxinga ordered the Manchurian Atlantic Fleet, sparing the U.S. Navy, which had only a few old ships left, and transferring the Japanese Combined Fleet, which was near Australia, to the United Fleet. The U.S. Navy was finally wiped out by the Japanese Combined Fleet led by the USS Yamato.
Goxinga had no interest in destroying the United States and receiving tens of millions of white people, so the Manchurian Army, which invaded the United States, did not take Washington directly, and began a frantic journey of destruction. They destroyed all industrial facilities in the United States, and even raised butcher knives against all kinds of skilled workers. The Americans are stupid, are these Manchurians crazy? They don't rob the rich bankers, they don't take beautiful slaves, they specialize in killing technicians.
The Eight Banners of the Dongshang Republic are not as highly qualified as the Manchurian Army, and the local leopards enter the city to see what they rob, almost no different from the locusts crossing the border. Since the decline of the United States and the death of Hatan, the Manchurian Empire's assistance to the Eastern Merchants Republic has deteriorated day by day, and now it is almost like sending beggars. The Dongshang Republic, which has constant internal power disputes, has not had a good time over the years, and now it comes out to grab a handful, even if it is to subsidize the family.
After two and a half months of being smashed and looted at home, the United States finally waited for Spain to mediate and formally signed an armistice agreement with the Manchurian Empire and the Eastern Commercial Republic. In addition to compensating Manchuria for large military expenses, they also had a new creditor, who had to pay hundreds of millions of Manchurian dollars in protection fees to the Dongshang Republic every year. Under such exploitation, the United States, which has been smashed back into an agrarian society, has completely lost the possibility of revival.
"Sulu arms, made in Manchuria, good and cheap!" Big Peter, who once again entered the high-level ball in England and France, was very faceless, and learned to shout at the peddler. But this time no one could ignore him anymore, and the British and French had to rely on this old man to save their lives.
