If you want to talk about the easiest thing to sell in the world, in addition to daily necessities, it is munitions, especially in this era, whether the army is strong or not, in addition to the degree of training of the army, but also has some close relationship with equipment.

Suddenly, Wang Lin thought of a good place to sell arms, Mexico. This country, which has an actual territorial dispute with the United States, will eventually find it difficult to withstand the attack of the US military because of the weakness of its army. But to be honest, at this time, the combat effectiveness of the US army is just like that, basically belongs to the old soldiers, scaring children is still good, and it is really on the battlefield, if there is no advantage in equipment, it may not be able to beat Xiao Yueben.

It is only because the equipment of the Mexican army is really unsightly, so there is the current situation, if we take advantage of the current stage of truce between the two sides, help Mexico train a group of powerful troops, and sell them weapons and equipment.

When the time comes for the war, even if the United States wants to enter the war, it will have to put out the fire in its own backyard first, right? Moreover, the Americans and the Mexicans have a deep hatred, and there is not much chance of compromise between the two sides, plus the Mexicans have a tough army in their hands at that time, which is enough to resist the attack of the American army, and even have the ability to carry out a counteroffensive.

At this time, what leader would be willing to give up the reconquista and choose to compromise?

Wang Lin has always been a resolute man, as soon as he decides something, he will do it immediately, just as he did when he helped the Boers against the British. If it weren't for Wang Lin's involvement, the Boer War would have ended long ago, and Britain would continue to be dragged on the Boer battlefield? Now that the British people have reached the extreme of invective against the political axe, if the problem of the Boer War cannot be solved, I believe that some unforeseen things will appear in Britain at that time.

In a hurry, Wang Lin once again called Yuan Shikai, the deputy minister of foreign affairs who had helped Wang Lin once, and now he has become the first candidate for Wang Lin's assignment.

It's just that asking a foreign vice minister to stay in a foreign country for a long time to help them develop the army is not a good decision, but Wang Lin feels that Yuan Shikai still has a certain ability, since he can train the Boers to face to face with the British army, what about the Mexicans?

They may not be as brave and good at fighting as the Boers, but for the sake of their own territory and their homeland, as long as they are given elite weapons and equipment, I believe they will still give the Americans an unforgettable painful memory.

"Your Majesty!" After Yuan Shikai received Wang Lin's instructions, he came to Wang Lin's office as soon as possible.

"Comfort Pavilion, how are you feeling during this time? Can you adapt to the civilian work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Wang Lin looked at Yuan Shikai with a worried expression and asked.

"Back to the emperor, I didn't get used to it at the beginning, but now I'm almost able to adapt to it." Yuan Shikai replied with a wry smile.

Now that Yuan Shikai sees Wang Lin's achievements, he can't help but feel a little lost in his heart, he should have achieved a career, but no one thought that he had worked hard for decades, and finally had some good signs, but suddenly a Wang Lin popped up, not only messing up all his plans, but even changing his life destiny.

But what can it be? Maybe this is the life God has arranged for me, right? Yuan Shikai muttered in his heart.

"Well, it's good to be able to adapt." Wang Lin replied with some relief.

Although Yuan Shikai is now under his own name, the original historical record of Yuan Shikai is deeply remembered by Wang Lin, what kind of person Yuan Shikai is, Wang Lin can be said to be clear, it is not an easy thing to make Yuan Shikai completely surrender to Wang Lin.

Even if Yuan Shikai's performance over the years made it seem as if he was ready to accept the fact that he surrendered to Wang Lin's feet, how could Wang Lin not know? Deep down in Yuan Shikai's heart, he is actually still a little unwilling. But he didn't want Yuan Shikai to retire so early, so as not to affect Cao Kun and others who are still serving in the army, and now he can only try not to let Yuan Shikai take on any domestic tasks.

Don't let him have anything to do with the Western powers, those who can cooperate with him are basically weak countries, all of them need China's help, although this can establish some prestige for Yuan Shikai in those countries, but relying on those countries where even self-preservation is a problem, what kind of hegemony can Yuan Shikai achieve?

Compared with this, Yuan Shikai still sees it very clearly, and he also understands why Wang Lin did this, so far, in addition to secretly sighing for his life in the depths of his heart, he is quite envious of Wang Lin.

"Your Majesty, is there any task that needs to be done by the ministers?" Wang Lin's words made Yuan Shikai ask a different taste, and Yuan Shikai hurriedly asked.

"There's a task you need to complete, but I don't know if you're willing to do it?" Wang Lin was secretly surprised by Yuan Shikai's intuition, he just said something seemingly random, which made him feel a little different, it seems that Yuan Shikai really has some talent that is different from ordinary people, but it is a pity that because he came, he robbed him of his due achievements, and at the same time, it was he who allowed him to avoid the tragedy of becoming a king and defeating him.

"As long as it is ordered by the emperor, the minister will definitely complete it seriously." Yuan Shikai put his hands on his chest and clenched his fists, seemingly respectfully replied.

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want you to go on a trip abroad." Wang Lin shook his head secretly in his heart, Yuan Shikai's respect, he could see that most of this was false.

"Abroad? Which country? Yuan Shikai frowned slightly, this task surprised him a little.

"Mexico."

"Mexico?"

"Yes, Mexico, there is a territorial dispute between Mexico and the United States, but Mexico's army is too weak to resist the attack of the American army, so Mexico needs our help, and we also need to sell some arms to Mexico, only in this way is in the interests of our country." Wang Lin said lightly.

"Although Mexico has a territorial dispute with the United States, but Your Majesty, please forgive the minister, the minister thinks that our focus should not be on the United States, but on the British side, after all, Britain is the boss of the world, as long as we can defeat the United Kingdom, then even if we occupy the peak of the world militarily, the minister feels that we have no need to put too much energy on the United States." Yuan Shikai replied with some obsession.

As a vice minister of foreign affairs, in addition to dealing with foreign diplomats, there is also a very important job that needs to be done by them personally. It is also very important to check the strength and national conditions of various countries, according to the custom of the Chinese, only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one win a hundred battles, this sentence applies not only to the military, but also to diplomacy.

And what Yuan Shikai has learned, the United States does not seem to have any real strength, except that their navy still has some that can be taken on the table, as for the army, the combat effectiveness is just like that, and there is nothing worth showing off.

As for the United Kingdom, although the British Navy currently does not have a single warship that can beat the Chinese ship, but the advantage of others is that there are many ships and a wide range of soldiers, and the naval soldiers have extremely rich knowledge of naval warfare, which is compared with the Imperial Navy, but occupies an absolute advantage, so although the Imperial Navy has the ability to defeat the British, there is still a certain gap between the comprehensive strength of the Imperial Navy and the British.

Yuan Shikai believes that the current empire should list Britain as a catch-up target, instead of talking nonsense to the United States on the other side of the ocean, because this is simply a waste of energy.

"Hehe, some things can't just be seen on the surface, the United States has a very good geographical location, surrounded by weak countries, only Canada can barely say a few words, but Canada doesn't seem to care about the military, and there is no strong territory**. Therefore, according to the current reality, the United States still has a considerable advantage compared with us. Wang Lin said slowly.

The geographical location of the United States is there, with such a good location, and there are no powerful countries around to interfere, if they want to develop quietly, then their development speed is absolutely shocking. It can be said unceremoniously that once the United States enters the stage of national development, it will pose a great threat to China.

It is precisely because of this, and because Wang Lin knows the status and way of doing things of the United States in the future, that he has decided to interfere with the development of the United States from now on, so that he will never be able to enter the state of full development. It also left him with no energy to participate in future wars.

When the time comes, when the United States has completely settled its own family affairs, and the army has finally been trained, I'm afraid that World War I will be over, right? After World War I, the distance between the empire and the United States was greatly reduced, and at that time, the empire did not have to worry about the development of the United States at all. Later, after settling other places, we can send troops to hunt on American soil.

In short, the rise of the United States is something that Wang Lin will never allow! In later generations, the United States pressed China so badly that it could only swallow its anger if there was anything, but now, Wang Lin has this opportunity, and he will definitely not let go of this opportunity to suppress the United States. The descendants of the Americans can bully the Chinese so arrogantly, so why can't our Chinese predecessors bully the Americans even more arrogantly?

"The minister understands, everything is arranged by the emperor." Yuan Shikai didn't ask anything else, for him, there was only one thing he could do at present, and that was to obey Wang Lin's arrangement.

"This time you go to Mexico, the main task is to negotiate, our biggest bottom line is to help them train the army for free, but their army wants to buy our arms, and at the same time we can assure them that the quality and ability of the arms we sell them are definitely better than the current equipment of the US military." Wang Lin looked at Yuan Shikai deeply and said.

However, this still didn't seem to be very reassuring, and then he continued to mumble to himself: "Britain is already slowly degenerating. The United States, on the other hand, is our future competitor, and only by striking at the first time can we achieve victory at the lowest cost. ”
