Chapter 155: Marbury's Secret Contract
The young Federal Ambassador, the Marbury Lord, signed a three-year contract at their first meeting, and things went more smoothly than expected.
The content of the treaty is divided into three parts.
Militarily, the Federal Empire will fully help build the Marbury Army, responsible for providing comprehensive military training, weapons and equipment, and logistics support, and at the same time, the Marbury State will provide special land for the Imperial Navy and Army to build military bases to ensure the security of the Marbury State.
Of course, the Confederate Empire does not participate in the specific military administration of the Marbury Army, nor in specific combat operations, unless the territory of the Marbury State is violated.
The Confederate Empire provides military advisors to the Marbury Army------ and can provide long-range military assistance in the event of an unbearable blow to the Marbury Army.
The costs incurred therefrom are entirely borne by the State of Marbury ------- may be paid over a period of three years.
Economically, the Federal Imperial Bank could provide large loans to rebuild the country's infrastructure------ which could be secured by a thirty-year operating right to Port Marbury.
The Federal Empire would encourage its own businessmen to come and mine minerals, set up factories, workshops and shops, which could increase local employment, increase domestic tax revenue, and promote commercial exchange and development.
Culturally, the Federal Empire will open the Imperial Primary School in the new business district of Port Marbury, which will enroll the brightest children of the local area.
King Marbury listened carefully to the interpreter's explanation at that time, and probably listened to a general content, but he immediately agreed, without the slightest hint of bargaining.
The young ambassador of the Federal Empire prepared a belly of diplomatic rhetoric in vain-------
After signing the seal of the contract in duplicate with his large ring, King Marbury said, "If my army fails to attack------ you will definitely support you, right?!" ”
The young ambassador of the Federal Empire smiled politely and said, "The Federal Empire will always abide by the contract, that is the foundation of our state!" ”
King Marbury gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "I will snatch back my lost wealth, and I will ask for theirs!" ”
The young ambassador of the Federal Empire understands that this kind of hatred ------ rob you, it is usually your neighbors, although everyone is of the same race and religion, but after tearing their faces, they can take revenge with the help of outsiders, and they will definitely use it!
In fact, it is the same thing to make friends from afar and attack closely, even horizontally and vertically, and the party to fight against differences, and we must learn to unite with powerful forces instead of confronting them------ only fools will do the opposite.
The rest of the things are implemented one by one------ so that the young ambassador of the Federal Empire does not have to worry about this, and there are relevant personnel from various departments who come to deal with the ministers of the Marbury Soil King.
He had to worry a little about building an embassy in the Federal Empire.
When Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin studied the map around Marbury Country, he had to accept that it was not clear and almost the same.
Major Du said apologetically: "Mountains, rivers, plains or swamps, I can guarantee accuracy, but the so-called border line ------ even their land kings and state lords themselves can't figure it out!" ”
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin said:
"Then you think they basically don't have a concept of land? However, you didn't send someone to ask the local people where they pay their taxes?!
I don't believe there are villagers who don't have to pay taxes or have to pay taxes twice------"
Major Du shut his mouth suddenly, yes, wouldn't asking the villagers there figure out the sphere of influence between the countries?!
You can't simply draw an artificial border!
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin looked at his face and said with a smile: "Your Imperial Navy has just arrived, and we have never encountered such a bunch of countries, and we will cooperate well in the future to re-understand the situation here." ”
Major Du smiled reluctantly, and had to admit that he was a lieutenant colonel, and he was only a major, and there was a reason here.
He also received an order from the military department, and the Minister of the Navy, Guo Beyu, ordered him to relocate the entire Lion City Naval Base to Port Marbury and relocate the site for construction.
This was the right choice, however, he did not get a direct promotion, but only recorded a second-class merit------ theoretically he had to have two more such merits before he could be promoted.
There is still hope, just wait slowly.
Moving to a bigger continent, there may be more opportunities!
The two of them briefly discussed it again, and Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin had a certain understanding of the local situation.
However, Major Du recommended to him a businessman named Qian Song, saying that he had a wide range of connections.
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin took off his military uniform, changed his civilian position, and went to Qian Song's shop to find him without bringing his entourage.
The first phase of construction of the new business district has been completed, and the second phase is now underway.
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin saw that there were many Tianzhu laborers working seriously...... However, he could feel that those people were far less dexterous than Goryeo's labor.
Previously, after hearing that he had been transferred, General Kim Jong-sik of Goryeo State cried loudly as if Lieutenant Colonel Wang Hyun-bin had been dismissed, regardless of the fact that he had been promoted.
He frowned and said, "Lao Jin, your family also went to Tianzhu to do business...... It's a nice place to be, and besides, I got a promotion, don't you know? ”
"I cried because I knew it was a good place......"
“……”
"I can't go, but you can go......"
“…… You can quit your job and you can go anywhere in the world...... What's so hard about that?! ”
"Am I stupid? Don't you let the general do it?! ”
Well, there is something wrong with this guy's mentality!
General Kim Jong-sik of Goryeo is reluctant to let him go...... At this time, the national power of the Goryeo Kingdom was growing day by day, and the amount of cotton yarn they exported was already comparable to that of the Japanese State, and the minerals they exported brought back a lot of daily necessities for them, and their labor brought a huge amount of money to the country every year!
All walks of life have developed...... They built a 3,000-ton five-masted sea ship on their own before Japan!
Their Goryeo shipyard at the mouth of the Yalu River had reached the level of 5,000 craftsmen, and even some merchants of the Union Empire wanted to order sea ships from them at a cheap price.
They can also build special sea vessels for various purposes according to customer requirements...... Specialized in transporting bulk cargo, specialized in transporting containers, specialized in transporting livestock, etc.
Grain production, especially corn and potatoes, has been increasing almost every year, as has the production of wheat and buckwheat noodles thanks to struvite and organic pesticides.
By the time Lieutenant Colonel Wang Hyun-bin left the mouth of the Yalu River, there was no longer a need to import grain from foreign countries in Goryeo...... Of course, grain merchants also go to foreign countries to buy some special grain products.
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Hyun-bin said to Kim Jong-sik: "Either you will find a way to make a fortune...... However, you have long been richer than I am; Or you just want to get promoted...... However, your official position is greater than mine!
What the hell do you want?! ”
"Ah, I just want to go out and be awesome...... If you can lead a soldier like you, and you will be the king there! ”
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin looked at his expression and made sure he wasn't joking...... Does he want an adventurous life?!
At that time, Kim Zhengzhen said seriously: "Wait, after the completion of my military reform...... Sooner or later, I will stand side by side with you on foreign soil! ”
After the reform of the Imperial Army, Goryeo is also preparing to follow suit.
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin could only ignore him at that time, there are everyone in this world, rich and powerful guys want to go out to drift!
Isn't he running around just to have a good life in the future...... That guy is unreasonable.
The division of New Oriental Group is the tallest building in the new business district.
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin took a look at its appearance and walked directly in.
