【1213 Ashgabat Municipality】
Princess Katrina Kaf nodded, "And what is Your Majesty going to do now?" ”
"All-out confrontation with the British!" President Moe cut the railroad to the fore. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Princess Katrina Kafu was shocked, Her Majesty's temper, she knew it, she was afraid that the emperor would have a hot head and would declare war on Britain, which was absolutely unacceptable!
"There are many kinds of confrontations, and they don't have to be military." Seeing Princess Katrina Kaf's nervous voice, Emperor Hua comforted: "Don't worry, I know that Huaguo's current industrial base is not enough to cope with a full-scale war, but, have you ever thought that this diplomatic battle between us and the great powers has several advantages, first of all, Huaguo has completed its unification, and the British themselves know that they are not capable of attacking Huaguo itself, so no matter how we make trouble outside, we don't have to worry about affecting the domestic economy." Second, China's industry has already started, we have the ability to sell arms to foreign countries, and other great powers have a criterion not to arbitrarily intervene in international disputes, mainly because they dare not go against the British, and even if they have arms, they do not dare to sell them, and we have the conditions to sell arms! We don't have to worry about being attacked on our homeland, and we have the ability to sell arms, so why not make money? What if it doesn't stimulate the acceleration of industrial development? Unless it's stupid! Third, not only do we not have to worry about being attacked, China itself is a vast country with a large population, even if overseas trade is restricted by the British, there are still foreign merchants who come to China to do business, and the British want to blockade us in this era, they don't have the strength! ”
Emperor Hua rarely said so many words at one time, and after coming into contact with Count Andráhi today, it seemed that something stimulated Emperor Huahuang's nerves and made him explode all at once.
President Meng was personally wronged, which is nothing, but now he is tied to his own country, even if Huaguo is despised at all, he is not happy, Huahuang urgently needs to quickly change the current situation, so he decided to take a bigger step in foreign policy.
Princess Katrina Kaaf listened to the emperor's analysis and nodded, "Does Your Majesty dislike the scale of the Zulu War and can't digest much ammunition, and wants to intervene in the British Afghan War and the South American Pacific War?" ”
Although the current colonial wars are not as fierce as they were in the late nineteenth century, they have not stopped, especially the British, who have to intervene everywhere, which has something to do with the political environment in Britain, in fact, they are encouraging merchants to go out and colonize.
In many cases, instead of the government leading, but a few people with small capital, they will unite and set up a company, and then invite the navy that is relatively close to them, fire a few cannons, and the merchants themselves will be able to run a colony, like doing business.
Seeing that Princess Katrina Kafu had guessed her intentions, President Meng smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Those who know me, Princess Moruo, I do think so, I wanted to leave a little space for the British before, but this time I saw the attitude of the great powers towards my country, I thought about it, it is useless to be conservative, the more conservative we are, the more others look down on us!" ”
"However, in this way, I am afraid that we will completely anger the British, and it will also arouse the vigilance of all the great powers against us." Princess Katrina Kafu reminded a little worriedly: "When the time comes, Huaguo will become the focus of the world's attention." ”
President Meng smiled and raised his hand, "I'm afraid it's useless!" This is the era when cannons speak, and strength comes first! Chen Lanbin was immediately notified to contact Bolivia, Peru, and Chile to set conditions for arms sales. In addition, the Fengtian Arsenal and the Danzhou Arsenal were notified to resume work and maximize production, ensuring the output of 10,000 rifles, 500 mortars, 30,000 grenades, 5,000 shells, and 500,000 rounds of ammunition every month! If it really didn't work, they increased the production line and produced all the President's 1874 rifles and weapons and ammunition of the same series. ”
Princess Katrina Kafu snorted, worried again, and reminded: "Your Majesty, these two arsenals have been semi-suspended, if the scale of production is expanded in this way, when the time comes, the results of arms sales will not be satisfactory, and a lot of money will be wasted." ”
The earliest arsenal in China was the Danzhou Arsenal put into production in 1874 by President Meng, and then the Fengtian Arsenal, and now these two early arsenals are in a semi-suspended state, and all the military industries in China are concentrated in Beizhong, Qinhuangdao area.
Huahuang now wants to resume work in these two arsenals, but also to expand the scale of weapons production, the factory is not said to be expanded, the machine can not be changed, and there is also the training of workers, this is all the early investment, not a joke, the military industry is a systematic project.
President Meng said confidently: "Don't worry, there will be no unsatisfactory state of arms sales!" Tell the following, let the Fengtian Arsenal and the Danzhou Arsenal cooperate in the division of labor, the amount I just said is not allowed to be discounted, and this output must be reached every month in the future. ”
"Okay." Although Princess Katrina Kafu was skeptical, she still agreed with Emperor Hua, because Emperor Hua's words were orders, and no one could change what Emperor Hua had made up his mind about.
After the Chinese emperor explained, he thought about it again and said: "Also, Ashgabat will be set up as a municipality directly under the central government, and within this year, the Karakum Grand Canal will be opened." Vladimir Granat was transferred to the post of commander of the Ashgabat garrison. The Chief Executive. Forget it, you can call Ekaterina Klimova now, and I will tell him face to face, our next step is to meddle in the affairs of the Middle East, Ashgabat, which will become a bridgehead, and we will build an arsenal here, and initiate a plan to establish a Middle East Federal Organization. ”
Princess Katrina Kaf's heart was pounding when she listened, how many earth-shattering things did Emperor Hua say in such a few minutes? But she knows Hua Huang's personality, although Hua Huang said it very easily, it must have been after some careful consideration, so she could only agree to them one by one and go down to make arrangements.
The emperor wanted to talk to Ekaterina Klimova alone, on the one hand, because Ekaterina Klimova was Vladimir Granat's sister, and on the other hand, Ekaterina Klimova was the supreme administrator of the Central Asian provinces.
There are now many municipalities directly under the central government in Huaguo, and Huahuang has opened up eight municipalities in the country, but it is the first time to open up a municipality directly under the central government outside the mainland.
The city of Ashgabat is an important town in the Central Asian province of China on the shores of the Caspian Sea, and is the political, economic, cultural and scientific center.
Now it is being created, but before the Chinese emperor issued an administrative order, the specific scale was not determined, only for military considerations, and now the Chinese emperor has issued a royal decree and opened up Ashgabat as the first overseas municipality, the situation is different, and it will definitely be expanded according to the scale of the municipality!
There is a hard standard for municipalities in China to have a population of at least 1 million.
Ashgabat is located at the junction of the Karakum Desert and the Kopet Mountains in the southern part of the Turkmen region, covering an area of about 300 square kilometers. Typical continental climate, with a large temperature difference between day and night, and extremely abundant sunshine.
After the opening of the municipality, there will be industrial sectors such as electric power, food processing, light industry, machinery manufacturing and metal processing. Science, culture and journalism will also develop.
Ashgabat is also an important transportation hub for Central Asia, which is part of China's planned program. It will be directly connected to the entire Central Asia Province, and the important railway artery of the Central Asia Province is to connect the entire region with three railways, and run through Urumqi to connect to the Great Northwest Railway Network of China.
The vast majority of Ashgabat people are Sunnis of Islam and strictly follow the teachings of Islam.
In addition, the shamanism and Zoroastrianism of the ancient Turkic people also had a certain influence on the religious ideas of the Turkmen people.
Rituals such as forcing a sick child to jump over a fire and sprinkling ashes on the head of a sick person are not characteristic of Islam.
Islamic culture occupies an important place in the social life of the Turkmen people, and the Ashgabat people revere the holy beings of Islam.
The reason why the Chinese Emperor wanted to open the Karakum Grand Canal was because Ashgabat was severely short of water due to the influence of the desert, and after the Karakum Grand Canal was opened here, the phenomenon of water shortage in the city would be fundamentally changed.
Ekaterina Klimova came over soon, during this time, although she has been following the Emperor Hua's side, but the Emperor still summoned her alone for the first time, just now when Princess Katrina Kafu went to find Ekaterina Klimova, Ekaterina Klimova asked Princess Katrina Klimova what was going on, and the princess said that she would know if she went, which made Ekaterina Klimova's heart beat wildly.
President Meng looked at the glamorous and moving Ekazerina Klimova, and he was also warm.
In terms of appearance, Princess Katrina Kafu and Ekaterina Klimova are indistinguishable, and Princess Katrina Kafu has been with Emperor Hua for the longest time, but the first time Emperor Hua saw Ekaterina Klimova, he was very tempted, because - Ekazerina Klimova is a hairy girl.
Hua Huang has the most favorable impression of Mao Meizi among all foreign women, not to mention that Ekaterina Klimova is still a mixed-race person with a fluent Mandarin mouth, just listening to the voice, she can't tell that she is a foreign girl at all.
"Your Majesty." Ekaterina Klimova was nervous and didn't dare to look at the emperor, although the emperor had never shown the slightest affection with Ekaterina Klimova, but she actually saw herself as the emperor's woman in her heart, and Ekaterina Klimova was not stupid, she had long known that the emperor was very good to her.
President Meng smiled slightly, "I called you here to give you an important task, originally I took you with me, and wanted you to have more contact with the ruling class in the Balkans, but now it seems that there is no need for such contact, so I want you to return to Central Asia Province now, and I want to transfer Vladimir Granat to Ashgabat to be the chief executive, and I want to open up Ashgabat into a municipality, and the manpower of the common people, you will distribute it, and I will write you a royal decree, When you go back, ask Wang Dashan to transfer a regiment to Ashgabat. ”
Ekaterina Klimova looked at the emperor, and she didn't expect Her Majesty to come to her, not to 'make love', but to let herself go back? I can't help but feel a little lost.
President Meng smiled: "What? Any questions? ”
Ekaterina Klimova blushed and shook her head, "No problem." ”
Hua Huang nodded and said, "It's good if there is no problem, why don't you ask me why I did this?" ”
"Your Majesty will tell me, of course." After Ekaterina Klimova finished speaking, she felt that her words were a little ambiguous, and bowed her head after speaking.
President Meng smiled: "Because we want to intervene in the politics, economy, and military of the entire Middle East!" Increase the number of arms sales to China. The most complicated region on earth is the Balkans, and the region with the most things is the Middle East, and I tell you now, I want to form a Middle East Federation, the Middle East is different from Central Asia, and we directly establish provinces in Central Asia, because we can assimilate them through time and completely become a part of China, but the cost of doing so is too high, the timeline is too long, and in the future, except for South Asia, we will take the method of vassal countries. The entire Middle East region will become a vassal state of China. Also, not only in the Middle East, Afghanistan is the main target region in the near future, it is best to be able to sell arms to both sides of the current war in Afghanistan, at the same time, remember, our goal is to sell products, the more the better, don't want to invest in the early stage, completely from the perspective of a businessman. ”
Ekaterina Klimova nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
