Chapter 11 The Attitude of the United States
Han Island was actually established as a country, and it was an explosive problem, and as soon as the news came out, the media in various countries hyped it very fiercely.
As the world's number one hegemon, the world's policeman, and the alliance of Western forces, Mi Guo can't always be silent, and at this point, Hua Songton has to come out to respond to the media.
Well, at least Warsonton has to make a statement, right?
The government held a press conference, and spokesman Figol answered questions from reporters.
"Excuse me, what is the attitude of the Mi government towards Hao Han, the owner of the Boundless Archipelago, establishing a country on the island he discovered? Will diplomatic relations be established with the Han State? ”
"According to international practice, there is no doubt that the sovereignty of Han Island belongs to Mr. Hao Han. If Han Island wants to establish a state, the government of the United States will be happy to see it come to fruition, and it will also respect the sovereignty of Han Island.
As for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sides, it is still too early to talk about this issue, and the United States does not know the so-called Han country, including their race, population, ideology, and so on.
It is believed that in future contacts, we will decide whether and when to establish diplomatic relations with the country according to the specific situation of the country. I believe that this time will not be too long. ”
Naturally, the United States will not immediately establish diplomatic relations with a so-called country of unknown origin, even if the two sides want to establish diplomatic relations, it should be a card in the hands of the United States. Before the game is clear, the people of the United States will not easily reveal their hole cards.
"May I ask the spokesman, in the early days of the founding of the Han Kingdom, it was poor and white, and from the existing pictures it shows that the whole island was very barren, so the future construction projects of this Han Kingdom must be huge. Supporting them at this time is definitely a good opportunity to invest, and I believe that the return is huge. Did the United States also participate in the so-called mysterious consortium that supported the Han Kingdom? ”
"No, never. The so-called consortium has nothing to do with the U.S. government, and at least so far no reports have been received from Warsonton. ”
……
The attitude of the US government has been clear, and it is happy to see it come to fruition, and the establishment of diplomatic relations will have to wait a little longer. The bosses of the developed countries in the West have expressed their positions, and some younger brothers have also appeared on the stage and expressed their own countries' attitudes.
Countries such as the Women's Worry State, the Korean State, and Turkey are almost the same, recognizing sovereignty, and as for the establishment of diplomatic relations, let's take a look at it first.
Unlike other countries, Xinjiapo, as a close neighbor of the Han Kingdom, was separated from the Han Kingdom by the sea, and was the first to establish diplomatic relations with the Han Kingdom because of its fellow people.
In view of the relatively moderate attitude of Western countries such as the United States, some countries began to engage with Han on the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sides.
Compared to other countries, the UK is one step ahead.
Because David realized that Han, a so-called country that could not be smaller, seemed inconspicuous, but occupied a very important geographical location.
Britain has a fragrant island in Asia, and although they will have to hand it over sooner or later, and it is already in progress, Britain will not easily give up his interests on this island.
In addition, Britain always had to trade with North Asia and the mainland, right?
So, although the small country of Han is negligible, its geographical location is important to the United Kingdom.
When William, the ambassador to Singapo, learned that there were merchant ships leaving the docks in Singapo, he had already begun to contact China to negotiate with China on whether to establish diplomatic relations between Britain and Han.
William's reasons were very good, and the British government was aware of the problem, so it gave William carte blanche to negotiate the establishment of diplomatic relations.
Britain is, after all, an old empire with its own personality.
Whether to establish diplomatic relations with the Han State, Britain will also take into account the attitude of the American people, but the interests of their own country come first.
Now that the United States has expressed its position and is happy to see it happen, the British have no scruples in their actions.
William, the British ambassador to Singapo, finally sat down with Han Foreign Minister Soong Wei Gai to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ambassador, that the British Empire once created a glorious world and is now the second most advanced country in the West after the United States.
At the beginning of the Han Kingdom, there were no people to ask for resources, and there were no resources, which was really poor and white.
In order for the Han Kingdom to gain a foothold in the world in the future, there are many places that will have to rely more on the advanced countries of the West like Britain. ”
Han Foreign Minister Song Weigao said that William's heart was full of joy, everyone likes to listen to good words, Song Weigao touched the proud heartstrings in William's heart.
"The British government also attaches great importance to the establishment of diplomatic relations with Han and is honored to appoint a contemptible person to negotiate the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
It is inevitable that your country will have many difficulties when it is starting out.
And the British government will do its best to help Han get on the right track as soon as possible. ”
The purpose that Song Weigao wants to achieve in his heart is to support, to give everything, who will make us poor.
William is not a fool either, and the topic turned back to his concerns.
"I heard that the vast strait can be navigated, is there such a thing?"
"This is impossible, the channel is currently being cleared, and I am afraid it will be difficult to navigate for a while. Do you know that if it is opened to navigation, in case of an accident, how can a small country like Han have the money to accompany others, so won't it be bankrupt? ”
William sneered in his heart, who are you fooling, Lao Tzu knows that Xinjiapo's ship has passed. Hmph, stimulate him a little more.
"How did you hear that there are ships passing through the vast strait in Xinjiapo, is there such a thing?"
"No, how is that possible?"
William just stimulated the Han Foreign Minister Song Weigao, and the ghost Dao in it understood in his heart that the British Empire would not be ineffective.
In a small country like the Han Kingdom, the British Empire could send them away by plucking their hair at will, would William care about this?
Even a small country like Singapo can be generous, with material support and rice dollar support, will Britain fall behind Xingapo? That's not a joke yet.
The negotiations went well, and the British Empire gave the Han two patrol boats as a welcome gift. Real warships will definitely not be given, and the two countries have not yet come to that kind of intimate relationship.
Why did it give it to the Han patrol boat?
The British knew how important the coastal defense of an island country was, and the most important thing needed in the early days of the Han Dynasty was probably military equipment, especially naval ships. Han is an archipelago country, so if there is no navy, what can it defend against foreign enemies?
Song Wei's face was thick enough, so he almost didn't ask for it directly.
However, the result was very good, the British government sponsored 500 million meters of gold from Han, a billion interest-free loans, and also helped build a shipyard.
Interest-free loans also have to be repaid, not given for free, and most of them are to purchase British materials, and can also promote the development of British industries, so why not?
As for shipyards, Britain is an island country and the shipbuilding industry is well developed, which is where the British excel. Back then, the British Empire was the world's maritime hegemon, with an irresistibly powerful navy.
