Chapter 406: True Intent

The thirst digging of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom has become a famous international joke, especially in Europe, where all the salons of the political elite are hotly discussing this ridiculous oriental country, the stupid national strategy,

"A country that does not have a navy is not looking for death if it goes to war with the United States."

"Remembering to buy weapons only after the war came, is this the unique wisdom of the Orientals, and the unique humor?"

The diplomats of Great Britain, France, and Prussia also specifically assured the U.S. government that they would only hand over the naval ships after the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom formally surrendered to the U.S. government, and at that time, the United States would not be threatened at all.

The officials of the U.S. federal still protested to the three countries, President Lincoln considered the most serious protest level against the three countries, and there were military threats, for example, the protection of the expatriates of various countries in the United States, in short, everything was done, which shows that the U.S. government is also afraid of the diplomatic energy of the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, there are really so many countries to build ships for China, once the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom gets the ships, how strong will the navy be, four battleships, eighteen cruisers, The other chaotic ships are completely a world-class powerful naval fleet, and if they are divided into two fleets, they are also quite powerful.

If this ship is put into service, the Chinese Navy will be able to quickly climb into the top 10 in the ranking of world navies, perhaps between sixth and eighth.

The reply of the British minister to the United States made the United States completely relieved: "Actually, the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom will never be able to defeat your American fleet, and the war between your two countries, unless the U.S. government is willing, will never end, so these ships, which cost them a lot of money, will never play a role in the war against you, and what we hope is that after they succumb to the pressure of your navy, these ships can be transferred to you as trophies, of course, the subsequent purchase costs, It is still paid by the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom. ”

The answer of the British is the most classic, and the meaning of the French and the common people is similar, anyway, it is a wolf pack tactic, and together they hollow out this new revolutionary country with a fairly strong army.

In order to guarantee their promises, these countries have even signed similar treaties with the United States.

Britain hoped that the U.S. naval fleet could threaten the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom and even inflict heavy damage on them, so the so-called negotiations on the full opening of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom to the British market would not need to be much more effortless.

France is also looking forward to the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom being in danger, and they know better that the strength of the US ** team is not yet able to fully threaten the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, but the threat of the navy is appropriate.

In order to show his panic, Luo Yang even signed an agreement with the Netherlands and Spain, two declining colonial countries, asking them to build themselves three naval ships and three cruisers.

In the winter of 1864, if European society had not spoken of the question of China, it would have been regarded as not fashionable enough, nor fashionable enough if it had not attacked the stupidity of the Chinese government.

Everyone is paying attention to the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, seeing how this suddenly rising eastern country can challenge the modern navy of the United States with the army of the agricultural era.

Luo Yang's policy has been criticized by many people, and everyone does not understand, whether it is the former Qing officials, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom officials, or the officials of the Han Heavenly Kingdom from Sichuan, they are all uneasy about this weak reality.

Not only that, the US naval officials, but also through the personnel of the great powers in China, some who did not retreat, lurking American missionaries, some Chinese hooligans who have been bribed, and even officials, spying on China's intelligence, spreading a lot of false news, and confusing the Chinese's audio-visual.

These rumors are very outrageous, but they are inevitably sarcastic and ridiculed about the Luoyang Group, wanting to use this to attack their prestige.

In the signing of the treaty with the military orders of the great powers, Luo Yang was actually criticized on the issue of rising prices and exceeding the market, so he clearly explained to the officials who were close to the core as follows: "Yes, military orders are an afterthought, but if you think about it, this is the biggest guarantee. ”

"Hmm."

"Only then can we be sure that if we can use it as a bait to ensure that these countries, Britain, France, etc., do not openly join the United States, it will be a great victory." Luo Yang explained,

Containing military orders for interests, this greatly admired the officials who knew the truth,

"Don't worry, will we fail, no, the US Army is pinned down by the South, and our reinforcement corps will teach weapons such as flying thunder guns and special warfare techniques to the Southern Army, and the South can achieve overwhelming superiority even if it cannot win completely, so the blockade of the US Navy is temporary." For so many naval ships ordered, Luo Yang said that this is absolutely needed,

"Actually, this ** has been drawing for so long, this is the real intention."

Everyone is stupid, the real intention, what is the intention of this leader,

"Who are our enemies, who are the countries that invade us the most ferociously, who have signed the most unequal treaties." Luo Yang asked, "England and France." ”

"How can we fight them in a decisive battle, whether it is the navy or the army." Luo Yang asked again,

"Navy." It dawned on the officials that

"Yes, the United States is just a piece of cake, our real target is Britain and France, our country, to be strong, we must have a strong navy, but, under normal circumstances, we order large-scale military orders from the great powers, it will cause controversy, it is difficult to achieve, the blockade threat of the US fleet is a good excuse, in fact, I myself am extremely grateful to the US government and the navy, he has given us real help, as long as we have a naval fleet, we can rise quickly." Luo Yang talked endlessly about his plan, and everyone praised him again and again.

However, can those weapons come to the hands of the Huaxia Tian** team, and when will the war between China and the United States end?

"Our negotiations confirmed that it will take a year and a half for these warships, so we will use these times as a basis and wait until a year and a half later, and then completely defeat the US Navy, and then these weapons will naturally be in our hands." Luo Yang clenched his fists,

"However, these ships will cost a huge amount of money, our country has just been established, there is instability in various places, the financial and tax revenues have dropped sharply, and the expenses and military expenses of the imperial court are very difficult, no, we have forcibly allocated so many deposits, and the treasury has long been empty." The core officials of Luoyang, including Zhang Zhidong and Hong Renji of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhang Suimou and Zeng Shihe in the administration, etc., are actually based on the leaders of the revolutionary uprising.

"It's okay, that's what I think about the most." Luo Yang talked about this, his eyebrows fluttered: "Our army is strong, the world is invincible, after we have more new weapons invented, this advantage will be more consolidated, so, defeating the United States, is an inevitable thing, at that time, we can force the US government to pay reparations, they pay reparations, we can take the reparations, pass on to military spending, this is borrowing chickens and eggs." ”

It is estimated that if Luo Yang's true intentions were known, the whole of Europe would vomit blood.
