Section 453 Shipping Lines
The Ryukyu King Shipping Company, naturally a shipping company established by the King of the Ryukyus, has a good momentum of development with the support of a country, and has assets including the current 800,000-ton ocean-going fleet, 10 10,000-ton giant ships alone, and also operates the Ryukyu port.

The NYK is controlled by the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu and the Mitsui Zaibatsu and is larger than the King of the Ryukyus Shipping, with a merchant tonnage of more than 2 million tons and more than 70 large ships. Not only do they operate ports in Japan, but they also have a lot of experience in shipbuilding, and the shipbuilding business invested in China is huge, and Japan is not allowed to operate shipbuilding, but Palembang will definitely not prohibit it.
Needless to say, Fujian Huay Kuan Shipping is now the largest shipping group in China, integrating shipbuilding, shipping and port operation, with a total tonnage of 10 million tons of merchant ships, accounting for more than 4 percent of China's domestic shipping market, and a tonnage of more than 3 million tons of ocean-going merchant ships, occupying 8 percent of the market; The shipbuilding industry is already a well-deserved leader in China, with a shipbuilding capacity of 2 million tons per year; Yantai Port and Qingdao Port are now involved in the operation and have rich experience.
With these three giants, it is more than enough to support a port.
What Yang Chao got seemed to be only financing services and could earn interest on a loan, but China got another one, which it could basically control, and once it was willing to turn it into a port for a naval base, no one has seen this problem for the time being.
"There are no problems with the Ryukyus, Taiwan, East Asia, and the Chinese Navy can completely control it. The port of Palembang in the South Seas has opened the passage to the Indian Ocean, but unfortunately there is still a base in the Indian Ocean, so that there is a complete base protection from China all the way to the Suez Canal. ”
Finalizing the matter of Palembang, Yang Chao's layout has taken another step forward, and the overall international influence has advanced to the Indian Ocean, but it is a pity that there is no base in the Indian Ocean, otherwise there is Greece on the other side of the Suez Canal, and there is another base here, and China's shipping security line will be greatly extended.
And the Indian Ocean is now a British sphere of influence, and it is impossible for the British to give China a base in India.
"Britain clings to world hegemony and does not hesitate to let the pound continue to appreciate, but what about France?"
Yang Chao did not hold out any hope for the British, and until now they are still holding on to Hong Kong and not letting go, just like Yang Chao's plan, isn't it just to extend their shipping routes to China.
The French were already shrinking, and although they had defeated the Germans, there was a strong uneasiness, the fear of a resurgence of Germany to retaliate against them, and made them look more on the European road, so whether it was possible to get a port from the French.
After the boring wedding ceremony, Yang Chao immediately invited French Foreign Minister Briand to talk.
Lent France 1,000 tons of gold, Sino-French relations are also honeymoon, and the French have exported more and more tractors, wires and cables and other products to China in the past two years, and almost all of the raw materials of their high-grade silk fabrics come from the Jiangnan region of China, and the economic ties between the two countries are close, and the French are also interested in continuing to expand on this basis.
Yang Chao proposed that China and France jointly establish a port on the French colony of Madagascar, the largest island in southern Africa, to be used as the last supply base for Chinese merchant ships entering the Suez Canal.
The French asked about the method of cooperation, and Yang Chao said that it was only pure commercial cooperation, and did not seek a series of privileges such as garrisoning, but asked Chinese enterprises to obtain the right to operate and control, and the French government and enterprises could obtain no more than 49% of the equity.
Basically, the Greek model, the French feel that if the Chinese put the shipping base in Madagascar, then this port is useful, as for whether China will seize maritime interests because of this, it has something to do with the French Republic, and they still have a fart maritime interests.
Isn't the only maritime interest they want to safeguard is to maintain Vietnam's security, and if they want to continue plundering the Vietnamese with peace of mind, they really can't do it without the cooperation of the Chinese.
Therefore, after carefully understanding Yang Chao's principles, Brian said that he could cooperate, and suggested that the two sides immediately start cooperation negotiations, invite Chinese to come over to negotiate, and invite Yang Chao to visit France after the wedding, and officially sign the contract at that time.
After the wedding, accompanied by the Greeks, Yang Chao and his wife browsed the various places of interest in Greece for a month, during which they found common traditions for the two countries with the saying that they are both ancient countries and have a long civilization and will not sink forever, and then left Greece by boat, and will visit Italy in the first war.
Before Yang Chao came to Greece to attend his sister-in-law's wedding, he publicly expressed his desire to visit Europe, and at this wedding, many countries sent invitations to Yang Chao to welcome the Tsar and his wife to visit their countries, including Italy, and Mussolini, the representative of the Italian Foreign Minister, invited Yang Chao to visit Rome.
After the world war, Europe's economy has not been good, Britain and France are struggling to survive, Italy, which has a poor foundation, has directly broken out of the economic crisis, and the final result is that Mussolini successfully took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the people in the economic crisis last year, seized power in Italy, and established fascist rule.
Then he used his power to form a tight police force, almost eliminated the mafia in southern Italy, and began to build a large-scale military industry and improve the transportation system.
The establishment of a military industry and the construction of infrastructure, which provided a large number of jobs, made Italy slowly emerge from the economic crisis under Mussolini's rule, and now returned to pre-war levels, from which Mussolini gained great prestige.
With Mussolini's temper, the visit of the tsar couple, if not put good use of it, then it was not him.
Mussolini liked to talk, and often did not wait for Yang Chao's translation to finish, and his next sentence immediately began again.
The tsars were not given a chance to speak at all.
Yang Chao couldn't help nodding with a look of admiration, and when he saw the ancient buildings of Rome, he immediately sighed that it was really a great era, a great empire, which made Mussolini proud and shouted without concealment, Italy is to restore the glory of the ancient Roman era, and Yang Chao praised him for this ideal.
When he inspected Mussolini's large fascist army, he saw a large amount of new equipment, machine guns, artillery, tanks, and airplanes whizzing through the sky, and Yang Chao praised the Italian army as the most powerful European army he had ever seen.
Yang Chao's admiration made Mussolini proud again, but this time he was rarely modest. Mussolini said that the Italian army is not strong enough, because his power is not big enough, because he has not been in power long enough, and he said that he will continue to lead Italy from strong to stronger.
What a great ideal.
Yang Chao sighed with emotion, but the ideal is very full, and the reality is very hehe.
The seemingly powerful Italy did bluff many people, under Mussolini's show, many countries regarded Italy as a powerful country, Italy did not agree, and Nazi Germany immediately gave up the plan to annex Austria, until Mussolini also thought that he was very strong, and sent troops to Spain with the Germans to help Franco the poisoner fight, but the German army found that the Italian army was not like that at all, ignoring Adolf and annexing Austria.
Britain and France have always been afraid of Italy, and as a result, Mussolini blackmailed a lot of political interests, such as occupying Ethiopia, Britain and France did not dare to say a word, but later Mussolini attacked Greece, and the Greeks were frightened, but a dozen found that the Italians were like that, not only did they destroy the invading Italian army, but invaded Italy, and finally the Germans sent paratroopers to destroy Greece.
Italy is such a country anyway, and you will feel very happy to be an enemy of it.
It's a pity that such a happy country is not in Asia, and if Italy is replaced by Japan, it will be a blessing for the Chinese nation.
After a successful visit to Italy, the second object of the visit was France, the shipping group led by the Hokkien Huay Kuan has negotiated with the French, with a total of 10 million gold yuan coupons, the French from 3 million and land shares, accounting for 49% of the shares, Hokkien Huay Kuan and other enterprises contributing 7 million yuan, accounting for 51% of the shares, and China and Japan each accounting for 17%.
Yang Chao came to France to sign on behalf of the Chinese company, because it did not involve the official, so Yang Chao said that it would be counted, of course, these three companies have given Yang Chao a power of attorney.
In these years, international trade was far less large-scale than in later generations, France exported tractors and cables to China, and other commodities were very few, and France's best-selling silk fabrics in Europe, agricultural products could not find a market in China.
China's exports to France are nothing more than raw materials and primary products such as pig bristles, furs, and raw silk, and machinery products cannot open the French market at all.
So both sides hope to expand the scale of trade between China and France through such cooperation, and as for political relations, the French do not care, and the Chinese do not mention it.
But Britain is concerned.
After acquiring the Greek port, the British had already begun to pay attention to China, and the cooperation in Palembang made the British begin to worry, and the cooperation in Madagascar immediately made the British judge China's intentions, and they decided that China wanted to infiltrate their interests into Europe.
China's purpose needs to be clarified.
The threat from China needs to be assessed.
Britain sprang into action, and their elites began to discuss, and while it was not yet clear that China was interested in expanding its military power into Europe, they had to guard against it.
