Chapter 1272: Divide the Cake
"Your Majesty, there are still many black people in the United States, and these black people have been treated extremely unfairly in the United States! If we could get these blacks to build their own country, they would be very grateful to us! And these blacks will also be very hostile to those whites in the United States. As long as we support them a little, the Americans will probably never be at peace! Prime Minister Ng Dinh Fong continued. Since we want to divide the United States as chaotically as possible, then there is no reason for blacks to let go of such a good chess piece!
"Yes, those blacks can also build a nation. Although they are not good-looking, in our eyes, they are no different from those white people! If whites can have their own countries, so can these blacks build their own nations! Wang Yuze said approvingly. The number of blacks in the United States is quite large, and now there are at least millions of them, but the situation of these blacks in the United States has always been very difficult, and the market has been oppressed by whites. The United States is a country with very strict racial discrimination, except for whites, all other sè people will be bullied by whites! These blacks have been oppressed for so many years, and once they turn over, they will definitely not make those whites feel better. Maybe then the United States will break out into war again. In that case, the United States will be much less of a threat to China!
"Your Majesty, there are also many Austro-Hungarian descendants in the United States, although the number is relatively small, but since we have allowed German-Americans to establish their own country, shouldn't we also treat them equally! Although Austria-Hungary has close relations with Germany, there are many contradictions between the two countries. The ambitious Archduke Ferdinand certainly won't be the little brother of Wilhelm II forever! If we can befriend Austria-Hungary, this will also be a huge blow to Germany! "Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said!
"Yes, with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, I don't think they will let go of this opportunity to have a sphere of influence in North America! In this way, the southern states of Florida, Georgia and Alabama in the United States were given to Austria-Hungary! Wang Yuze didn't blink an eye, and gave away the land of the three states. Anyway, these lands belong to the Americans, and of course he is not distressed at all by being generous to others! In addition, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was also very beneficial to China
The Germans were now preparing a deadly attack on the Anglo-French forces, and it was now a foregone conclusion that the Germans would occupy most of Western and Central Europe and part of Eastern Europe. These were highly industrially developed regions, and even if the Germans did not occupy all of Europe, their national power should not be underestimated. Under such circumstances, if there is a country that can contain Germany in Europe, this is undoubtedly what China wants to see. In Wang Yuze's view, the future world is very likely to be a three-kingdom hegemony. China was undoubtedly the most powerful Wei state, while Germany and Austria-Hungary were vassal states and Wu states. If Germany and Austria-Hungary were united, it might pose a certain threat to China. But if these two countries are not on good terms, it will be much easier for China to defeat them one by one. Therefore, using the territory of the United States in three states to win over Austria-Hungary is undoubtedly an extremely cost-effective deal!
"In this case, in addition to the U.S. territory occupied by us and Mexico, the remaining U.S. territories will be divided into five countries, namely the Republican Party-controlled United States, the MínzhǔParty-controlled United States, the Negro-American-German-American, and the Austro-Hungarian-American America! If there are no other problems, then the cabinet will follow this plan! Prime Minister Wu Dinh Fong said!
"Your Excellency, there is one thing you can't forget! In order to defeat the United States, the empire spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and the military expenditure alone cost nearly two billion Chinese dollars! Therefore, we must not forget to let those Americans pay the war reparations! Chancellor of the Exchequer Wang Wenhua jumped out. The empire is now in the midst of a war that is constantly being won, but fighting a war is already burning money, and seeing the treasury money flowing like water, he is very heartbroken. Even though China is constantly plundering industrial equipment and wealth from the United States, he still remembers the war reparations that the Americans should pay!
"The Cabinet and the Americans are in consultation with the Cabinet on this matter! German-American and Ossie German-American can pay us reparations, and the other Republican and Mínzhǔ Party-controlled Americas and the Negro-founded United States will have to pay us reparations! The total price is more than 3 billion Chinese dollars! Wang Yuze said. For war reparations, he certainly will not give up. The war has been going on for more than a year, and almost all the wealth accumulated by the country over the past ten years has been spent. If he hadn't been able to make up for it from the battlefield, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would have been bitter a long time ago. Such as India and Australia and the wealth plundered from the United States. Even so, for the second time, the state has issued treasury bonds to the people of the empire. Fortunately, the people of the empire were very congenial to the war that the country was waging, and they were also actively subscribing to the treasury bonds issued by zhèngfǔ. Otherwise, it would be impossible to finish the war!
"It's Your Majesty!" Chancellor of the Exchequer Wang Wenhua nodded, if it can get 3 billion Chinese dollars from the United States, then China will be able to make up for all the military spending in the early stage of this war. As for the follow-up war against Europe, although it will cost a lot of money, with China's strength, it can be fully supported! In addition, although China spent a lot of manpower and material resources in the war, it gained more. Compared with China's allies, China's share of what it gets and pays in the war is much higher! This will also make China's strength explode after the end of the war, and it is only a matter of time before it surpasses the entire Western world, which will also be China's capital to seize world hegemony!
"Your Majesty, the military also has our requirements! For a long time to come, we will need to have troops in the United States, not only in the overseas provinces of the Empire and the newly acquired territories in Mexico, but also in several other United States to guard against these Americans! Of course, the garrison of the regular army of the empire can not be too much, with a part of the mercenaries and the Korean mercenaries! Chief of the General Staff Cai Yun said!
Wang Yuze nodded, however, Germany and Austria-Hungary should strongly oppose it. After all, German-American and Austro-Hungarian American can already be regarded as spheres of influence of their two countries, and if the Chinese want to station troops in these two countries, they will definitely not agree!
"Yes, the General Staff came up with a specific charter on how many troops need to be stationed in the United States. In addition, German-Americans and Austro-Hungarian Americans did not need to garrison troops. However, Germany and Austria-Hungary should not want to send a single soldier to the United States, this is our bottom line! Wang Yuze said.
He wants to mess up the United States, but he doesn't want Germany and Austria-Hungary to intervene too deeply, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up at that time! Although even if Germany and Austria-Hungary sent troops to the United States, it would not cause too much trouble, but Wang Yuze didn't want to make too much trouble!
"Yes, Your Majesty! The Cabinet will talk to Germany and Austria-Hungary about these issues when they are in contact with them! Prime Minister Wu Dinh Fong said. Allowing German-Americans and Austro-Hungarian-Americans to establish a state is enough to give these two countries face, and if they dare to gain an inch, then China will not agree!
"Your Majesty, the Navy needs to have a base on the East Coast of the United States. The current Norfolk naval base is undoubtedly the most suitable! The Americans did not destroy this naval base, and now most of the warships of the expeditionary fleet are moored here. The Navy considers it necessary to create a permanent and solid base here! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng also said!
"Then inform the Americans and cede to us the Norfolk Naval Base and all the land within a radius of fifty kilometers!" Wang Yuze said directly. Originally, he wanted to talk about Lend-Lease, but when he thought that now the United States is finished, he still rents a fart! How easy it is to occupy it directly!
"Yes, Your Majesty! The Navy will send a Marine Division there to completely consolidate the occupation there! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said happily. If the Chinese Navy wants to deploy around the world, a large number of naval bases are indispensable. Norfolk Naval Base, as the largest and most complete naval base in the United States, is undoubtedly conducive to the Chinese Navy in achieving this goal.
When these issues were resolved, the meeting ended successfully. As for the specific issues, they will be handed over to the cabinet and the military to implement, and Wang Yuze only needs to grasp the general direction.
After the meeting, Wang Yuze went straight back to the Xinhua Palace, and the important military ministers went to the General Staff Headquarters to discuss the number of troops needed in the United States, and the number of troops each needed to be stationed in the army, navy, and air force. The cabinet ministers discussed the demands for war reparations and the garrison of troops against the United States, how to force the Americans to accept the demands of China, and the size of the remaining United States except for the American territories occupied by China and Mexico, and so on! China has destroyed the United States on its own, so how to distribute this cake is naturally up to China!
On the morning of March 16, 1913, Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi met with the Austro-Hungarian ambassador to China, Anton Anderson, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Huber, who has been in China for more than ten years, has completely become a China expert! Relations between China and Austria-Hungary were not very close in the first place, so Anton . Huber has not been able to make any contributions, so naturally he will not be promoted! However, Anton. Ambassador Huber didn't care, Europe is not a good place now, Austria-Hungary has already implemented rationing of living materials, and there are people who are comfortable in China!
