Lan Fang, whose relationship with Egypt has entered the honeymoon period, is completely different when facing Yemen.

It's no wonder that Gu Weijun is no wonder that after the Yemenis panicked and pulled the Americans into the negotiations between Lan Fang and Yemen, the progress of the negotiations completely exceeded the expectations of the Yemenis, and the Americans did not have the hope of becoming Yemenis, but instead had the idea of carving up Yemen with Lan Fang, which really led the wolf into the house.

After learning about the Americans' request, Gu Weijun did not refuse the Americans, but made a request to the Americans.

Lan Fang could agree to US intervention in Yemen, but this would be conditional on the US repealing the Chinese Exclusion Act.

The Americans quickly met this request.

In fact, the call for the repeal of the "Chinese Exclusion Act" in the United States has been very high, and the repeal of the "Chinese Exclusion Act" is simply a smooth sailing; the day after Gu Weijun put forward his request, the US government announced that it would formally repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act, which had been implemented for 41 years, and the Chinese finally achieved their due social status in the United States.

The Chinese living in the United States are all kinds of jubilation, and I will not go into detail here, after the US government announced the repeal of the "Chinese Exclusion Act", the negotiations between Lanfang and Yemen have finally entered the fast lane.

No, it is not the negotiations between Lanfang and Yemen, but the negotiations between Lanfang and the United States, and Yemen, as a party to the country, has been excluded from the scope of negotiations.

How sad!

But this is the reality, without a strong state, it cannot even participate in the negotiations that will determine the fate of its own country, and even Yemeni representative Wahid Bader will not be able to enter the conference room where Gu Weijun and Charles Hughes are negotiating.

In mid-August, Lan Fang and Yemen, with the mediation of the Americans, reached an agreement that Yemen would cede nearly 30,000 square kilometers of territory, including Little Aden and Pirin, to Lan Fang in return for helping Yemen build the port of Mukala. The vicinity of the port of Mukala will be used as a concession area, leased by the Americans for 99 years, and the Americans will station an army in the port of Mukala to ensure that Lan Fang will not continue to expand in Yemen. At the same time, the United States will pay the Yemeni government $150,000 a year for the lease of the port of Mukla.

Thankfully, the rental fee wasn't set at a dollar per year, otherwise it would have been shameless.

As soon as the agreement between Lanfang and Yemen was announced, everyone was immediately stunned, and what shocked was not the strength of the Lanfang government and the cowardice of the Yemeni government, but the kung fu of the Americans with empty gloves and white wolves.

Charles Hughes was not a Supreme Court justice in vain a few years ago, and this mouth of people can really say that the dead are alive, so they cut off a piece of meat from Yemenis so hard, and they want Yemenis to be grateful to Dade.

With the agreement between Lanfang and Yemen, the Cairo meeting has finally come to an end.

Strictly speaking, the Cairo Conference was a successful meeting, in which the participating countries issued a joint statement in which they "unanimously agreed" to maintain the status quo in the Middle East, determined that they would settle future disputes in the form of the conference, and opposed any form of war in the Middle East.

The reason why the word "unanimous agreement" is put in quotation marks is because the British did not sign the agreement, and Churchill simply scolded him for boarding the cruise ship back to London and not even attending the dinner after the meeting, which cannot but be said to be a pity.

The Cairo Conference not only did not achieve the goal of containing Lanfang, but legally determined the existence of the western province of Lanfang, and Britain could be regarded as losing its wife and losing its troops.

Churchill must have been very angry, because this "pot" must be credited to Churchill, and someone must be responsible for the failure at the Cairo Conference.

Even if the British don't sign, it's useless, the unanimous agreement of the United States, France, and Lanfang has set the tone for the meeting, and the British can't change this fact with or without signing.

Qin Zhiyuan must have been satisfied with this result, and on the evening after the agreement was signed, Qin Zhiyuan hosted a banquet for William III in the royal palace of Penglai Island.

That's right, William III came to Lanfang again, this time William III came under the banner of visiting William II, which was also the third trip to Lanfang by William III in the five years since Lanfang was founded.

Considering the distance between Lanfang and Germany, such frequencies can definitely be called frequent.

After learning the specific content of the "Cairo Declaration", William III smiled a little bitterly: "You are really a lucky guy, look at the current territory of Lanfang - tsk, if it is a few decades later, will you unify the world?" ”

is also a king, William III must admit that in the profession of "king", Qin Zhiyuan is indeed a leader.

"The whole world? No, no, no, I don't have that interest, I just want to fight for more living space for the Chinese, and I have no other intentions - you look at the current Lanfang territory, the northern territory used to be equivalent to no man's land, it was the land stolen by the Russians, I just took it back in the name of justice, and the same is true for Goryeo and Yingzhou, as for Siam and the Western Province, where the people are miserable under the rule of the feudal monarchs, I am to save them and bring them a happy life, so I overthrew the original government, This must be an act of affirmation. Qin Zhiyuan is much more shameless than Gu Weijun, his face is not red and his heart is not beating when he says these words, and there is no one who has the ability to turn black and white upside down.

"Hehe, I like your shameless appearance very much, very much in the style of my year." William III was happy to lean forward and back together.

These are the words that Qin Zhiyuan once used to fight William III, and now they are thrown back by William III intact.

"Don't talk nonsense, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, your feeling of shamelessness is just your personal feeling, my feeling is noble, only noble people will benefit others without self-interest." Qin Zhiyuan is serious.

"Well, you are indeed noble, so can you please be a little more noble, and pity the poor German people who are struggling in their miserable lives." William III also said the purpose of the trip as if he were joking.

"Are you going to abdicate to me?" Qin Zhiyuan was still out of tune, carefully observing William III's expression.

"I'm serious." William III rolled his eyes.

If you don't say that this is an aristocrat, even if you roll your eyes, you will roll it very elegantly, so that people don't feel much disgust, but will have the strange idea of "self-blame".

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan didn't have much self-blame in his heart, and after getting the confirmation of William III, Qin Zhiyuan ate slowly, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "I think you should agree with the advice of the Dawes Committee." ”

The Dawes Commission, which was actually two committees set up specifically to solve the problem of German reparations, one of which looked at ways to balance the German budget and stabilize German finance, and the other to investigate German capital outflows and devise methods for repatriation.

The two committees were chaired by the American banker C.G. Dawes, so they were called the Dawes Committee.

Just a month ago, the Dawes Commission finally prescribed a prescription for the revival of the German economy, the "Dawes Plan".

The main elements of the plan, which attempted to guarantee the payment of reparations by means of the restoration of the German economy, were: the reorganization of the Deutsche Bank under the supervision of the Entente and the introduction of currency reforms. The Allies were to borrow 800 million gold marks (equivalent to $190 million) to stabilize their currency system, and in the absence of a final determination of the total amount of reparations, the annual limit of German reparations was established, that is, from 1 billion gold marks in the first year, from 1924 to 1925, and increased year by year, to 2.5 billion gold marks in the fifth year, that is, in 1928.

In order to pay the reparations, Germany will issue 11 billion gold marks of railway bonds and 5 billion gold marks of industrial bonds.

After that, Germany's financial foreign exchange, railway operations and tax collection will be subject to international supervision.

"Accept? No, no, no, I absolutely can't accept it, you should have seen that plan, it is not to restore the German economy at all, but to completely control Germany, if our financial foreign exchange, railway operations, and tax system are subject to international supervision, then what secrets does Germany have? It's the equivalent of stripping off my underwear for people to visit, and I definitely can't accept such a plan. William III was still a little unsatisfied after speaking, drank the champagne in front of him in one go, slammed the glass on the table, and then got up angrily: "Let that damn 'Dawes Plan' go to hell!" ”

It seems that William III has indeed been under great ideological pressure during this time, and William III was such a gentle person in the past, but now he has actually learned to use foul language, which is really a hell of a life.

"Regulation is regulation, how many secrets do you think Germany has for the international community now? It is not unacceptable that financial and government operations alone do not involve the military. Qin Zhiyuan is a little bitter, for the sake of Germany, Qin Zhiyuan is also a little heartbroken.

"You're talking very lightly, if someone wants to oversee Lanfang's financial and tax systems, will you agree?" William III wanted Qin Zhiyuan to empathize.

William III did not mention the railway system, because Lanfang's railway system is really not very developed, Lanfang is a country composed of islands, shipping is the most developed, and railways are only available in Northern Xinjiang.

"It depends, and it's not impossible if the price that person pays is big enough." Qin Zhiyuan could think about it.

After the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Qing Empire had experienced "international supervision" that was even more nonsense than the "Dawes Plan", and there was still a part imposed by Germany.
