Chapter 1055: Pointing the Way to the World——

Chen Ming's opening remarks shocked the British, French, and Ottoman envoys who were in attendance, and shocked the reporters of the newspapers of various countries who stayed in the main hall.

God, a free trade zone and a single currency, that's a big deal.

The latter can be seen in the later 'euro', which was hailed as the most significant result of European monetary reform since the Roman Empire. The euro not only improves the European single market and facilitates free trade between eurozone countries, but is also an important part of the EU integration process.

Chen Han has now come up with this unified currency, and the same is true. As long as this policy can be implemented in a down-to-earth manner, it will certainly make the entire Huaxia Alliance closer and stronger.

Imagine the power of such an 'economy', the unification of the currencies of dozens of countries, large and small, if the news reaches Europe, it can shock Europeans to death. At the same time, it will also be a bright guiding light, guiding the direction and goals of future European hegemons.

And the former, the Great Free Trade Zone, is more significant, which is completely an action to turn Chen Han's sphere of influence into his own territory. Outsiders can also understand with their toes how great the benefits of Chen Han are after the establishment of this large free trade zone.

This can be described as half the world!

With this huge market as the foundation, Chen Han's hegemony is simply solid and unshakable.

The rabbits in the previous life were also engaged in a free trade zone, but the rabbits at that time were fundamentally different from the current Chen Han. The rabbit of the original time and space entered the game as a participant of a game, and the rabbit was not a participant in the rules of the game, he was only a participant. But now Chen Han is the maker of the rules of the entire game and the only master of this game.

Chen Han's only idea of building a large free trade zone is to delineate his own basic market. From now on, all the participating countries in today's conference will be Chen Han's basic plate. This is not a sphere of influence!

The current Chen Han is a bit similar to the original Zhou Tianzi, Japan, Siam, the Seven Khanates, etc., are the princes he divided out.

When Zhou Tianzi was in power, the princes of the world were bowing their heads to their ears.

Chen Ming didn't think about the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he didn't think about the debt-ridden Zhou Tianzi, when he was in decline, no matter how brilliant the hegemony was, it became a thing of the past. There's no need to think about this now.

The faces of the kings present were full of joy, but in fact it was not without sour water and bitterness. But there is no way, the situation is stronger than people. If Chen Han's conditions are not agreed, who dares to guarantee that the guns of the Wehrmacht will not fall on their heads? What's more, people are interesting enough. A lot of aid projects have been signed for various countries, and if they are implemented one by one in the future, their small country will definitely have a lot of development.

Thinking about it this way, it's also a good opportunity. It's just a deal. It's not that you just give and don't get anything in return. It's just that the return is a little bit late, and at the same time a little cheaper.

But Chen Han also protected their national security and recognized the integrity of the judicial sovereignty of all countries. That is to say, nominally, in the future, Chinese and Chinese people will have to respect the laws and regulations of that country wherever they go. That is, today, July 1, after the official signing of the Covenant, Chen Han's joint tribunals in various countries were officially closed.

The Anglo-French Ottoman envoys did not know the truth inside, but they could also know on their heels - China must have paid a lot of money to win over these countries.

And Chen Han's clan relatives and vassal kings had even more excited expressions on their faces, they were Chen Han's absolute descendants, and the more powerful the old nature was, the more they made an appointment. Chen Ming's two moves, holding a gun in one hand and a money bag in the other, are the foundation of the country.

Taking the sailor as an example, in the Pacific Rim, Chen Han's sailor is the undoubted overlord. Japan, Siam, Phnom Penh and the countries of the Americas all have less than 10% tonnage ratio with Chen Han's capital ships.

Well, Japan is Ichisei, and both Siam and Phnom Penh are 0.5.

In addition to the water division, there is also the army.

With such a large territory and such a vast land, the Chinese Alliance has to confront the entire white world. How much army does Chen Han need to maintain? How much army do countries like Japan need to keep?

The final quota was 1.3 million for Chen Han, 100,000 for Japan, 50,000 for Gurkha and Siam, 200,000 for the Seven Khanates of Central Asia, and 10,000 to 20,000 for the vassal states of North America......

The real kung fu is all done outside the city, don't look at Chen Ming's mouth now, he said it so easily, it seems that he really just makes a decision on everything. But in reality? Outside the court, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already paid too much, too much.

However, this is also based on Chen Han's incomparably strong national strength.

Moreover, Japan, Siam and other countries in this era are not the little devils of later generations, and it is quite humiliating to control the number of their troops, but not all countries are bent on expanding their own armaments.

This is a very expensive thing to raise soldiers. Taking Japan as an example, a soldier's annual salary for food and clothing is not much high, 1,000 Chinese dollars. This is not counting the cost of cavalry and artillery, just the most determined infantry, 100,000 infantry is 100000000 yuan. But how can an army be all infantry, let alone all soldiers, then there are cavalry, artillery, rocket troops, engineers, and baggage soldiers, as well as officers with strict specifications at the first level, and Japan also has a naval division with considerable strength, and the entire Japanese army construction cannot be stopped with an annual military expenditure of 200 million yuan.

So, this specification is not low. Although Japan felt a little humiliated in terms of dignity, this was like 'aiding construction', and after learning that they would receive the two third-class capital ships given by Chen Han, the Japanese immediately threw this sense of 'insult' out of the clouds.

The total strength of Chen Han's navy and army will reach 1.5 million, which is already a super hegemon in the current era. In any case, the covenant provided for only active military forces, not reserves.

Countries such as Luang Prabang, Vientiane and Phnom Penh, which are relatively weak, are still very happy with Chen Ming's demands. They are even willing to disarm their own country, anyway, there are no hostile countries around them, and after holding China's thighs, Siam will not be able to invade them again, so why do they maintain a standing army?

It would be better to increase the number of armed police.

It's a pity that such a request was not agreed to by Chen Ming at all.

In the future, Chen Han will fight with Western countries, and he will also need to fully mobilize the troops of his vassal states. Just as the Russo-French War, which is most likely already underway, how could Napoleon have raised an army of 600,000 if he had not fully mobilized his vassals?

China does not need these countries to share its military spending, but it is impossible for China to completely protect each other. Although many countries are in China's 'heart', such as Phnom Penh and Vientiane just mentioned.

In the East-West War, if the Europeans really reached Phnom Penh and Vientiane, it would already mean that Chen Han had failed. The Nanyang region is Chen Han's absolute sphere of influence, just like Hawaii in the United States, and it is not allowed to make the slightest mistake.

When the time comes, Chen Ming will not let China die alone.

All allies have to have armies, but with different emphasis. In a country like Japan, Chen Ming shaped it into a military 'small power', and the vassal states in the Americas reduced a lot of their armies accordingly.

Moreover, landlocked countries should correspondingly share the burden of military spending on some coastal and frontline countries.

Because they themselves are safe, completely protected by their allies. The former need to face the enemy directly, and they are obliged to maintain a limited number of elite army forces, take the elite route, and in the event of a war in the frontline countries, their army must be immediately reinforced! However, while enjoying this kind of security protection, the countries in the rear must also share a part of the military expenditures of the front-line countries in accordance with their own economic development. It's called paying protection money!

James Korver stepped out of the carriage, the direct sunlight above his head making his eyes pale and dizzy. Fortunately, the attendants beside him held him tightly.

As the eighth ambassador of the British Empire to China, James Korver thought that he had a high opinion of Chen Ming. The other side rebelled at a young age, overthrew the Manchu Empire at its peak, and then turned huge China into the largest empire in the world in just thirty years.

Just talking about Chen Han's territory, the greedy and fierce Mongols are not comparable to him.

But James Korver thinks that Chen Ming has reached his peak, but now Chen Ming's sudden throw out of the large free trade area and unified monetary policy, as well as the related military cooperation policy, let him know that he underestimated Chen Ming.

He thought that Chen Ming was already a demigod, but it turned out that Chen Ming had lit the divine fire and held the throne high.

Chen Ming's policies are all policies of great pioneering significance, which simply point out the way forward for the Western world - how to twist into a rope to fight with the Chinese.

The Western world can completely copy the rules of the Chinese, and after the defeat of Napoleon, establish a new European order under the leadership of the British, and launch an all-round confrontation with the Chinese.

James Korver thinks so, and so does the French ambassador to China, Edouard Philippe. Because France had an advantage over the British to establish a Napoleonic empire centered on Paris.

After all, all of Europe, with the exception of England and the Iberian Peninsula, and Russia, which had not been tamed, had all other countries submitted to the feet of the great Napoleon.

As for the Ottoman ambassador to China, Hassan Rouhani, he was also thinking about Istanbul in this way. As the leader of the Celestial World, Istanbul has the responsibility and obligation to lead the entire Celestial World towards a brighter future......

Chen Ming's actions simply pointed out the direction and path to the whole world.
