Chapter 392: Kick the ball back

If he dares to tear up this treaty, then the Germans will beat him together with the Turks, and the Russians and the British will not forgive him, on the contrary, it will be better to completely make a mistake and a better result, at least when Russia and Britain really beat him, William and Hamid II will not ignore him.

And judging from the current intelligence, the king, who is immersed in love, has no signs of awakening, but this goods has a beautiful woman and is happy, but it has pushed Yang Feng into an embarrassing situation, as long as he agrees, then the Germans have the right to build the railway to Baghdad and then connect with the Imperial Oil Railway, if he does not agree, then the Germans' ambitious triple B railway will come to an end, this dispute in the Middle East, the center of the whirlpool will be transferred to Beijing, He will be forced to state his position in the two opposing blocs in Europe.

If he falls to Germany, then don't expect to continue to maintain the current friendly relations with Britain in the future, although the British have not been less stumbling on him before, but that is a normal situation, even if this kind of thing is inevitable between real allies, but if he really chooses Germany, when the British make trouble for him in the future, it will not be just those low-level. Not to mention that they stationed a few battleships in Nagasaki, and Emperor Yang would have to think about it if he wanted to go out and be happy in the future, he dared to scatter half of the main naval force to the distant Americas, just knowing that the British would not touch his bottom line, but if he fell to Germany, this scene would definitely appear.

Then France would massively increase the Khmer army, ready to enter Vietnam at any time, and at this time Nikolai would certainly not mind coming to join in the excitement, for example, to increase the naval and land forces in the Far East, although he was short, but he had a large number of troops to guard against the British. If the two sides reach a tacit agreement because of themselves, not to mention that it is still possible to redeploy an additional 100,000 army forces and a few battleships to the Far East, a military alliance against China in Asia will be formed, and even if they pout their butts in the future, they will strictly tell themselves that they are not allowed to defecate in the open, such a life may be very exciting in the eyes of some people, but in the eyes of Emperor Yang, it is very depressing, and he does not want to attract firepower for William.

If William is refused, it will not affect the relationship between the two sides, after all, William is still waiting for his German oil field. But from Yang Feng's own point of view, he is still looking forward to the opening of this railway, if he wants to make war money on both sides in the future, then there must be a transportation channel to Germany, the Suez Canal is in the hands of the British, it will definitely be strangled in wartime, the American route is too far away, if there can be a land transportation line from Kuwait to Germany, it is undoubtedly a very pleasant thing.

"Now our problem is only to be connected. In other words, whether they build roads or not has nothing to do with us. Yuan Shikai looked at Emperor Yang's tangled appearance and reminded him with a smile on the side.

The words of this goods immediately woke up Yang Feng.

Let them repair it, all the way from Konya to Baghdad, and then leave a distance of more than ten kilometers between the two railways. In the middle, build a highway for them, build a batch of large trucks, which can pull dozens of tons at a time, and then transfer them between the two railways. This would be enough to meet the normal transportation needs, and when the war began, it would be paved with a surprise attack in one night. The two railways are connected, and you can play how you like to play.

So that you don't have to have a headache for this, kick the ball back to the Middle East, let the British and Germany directly confront, you can watch the excitement from a distance, and such trucks are certainly not capable of being manufactured by Germany at present, and they have to import them from China, including highways of this tonnage, they certainly do not have the same technology, this work still has to be done by the Chinese, not only can push the trouble out, but also can take the opportunity to make a lot of money.

"Your Majesty, there is another point, this decision may as well not be released for now, just say to the outside world that you are thinking about it, don't forget that the strange goods are liveable, we are now negotiating with the British to recover the concession issue, which can be used to put a little pressure on the British." Zhang Quan then said.

"In this way, it seems that bad things can sometimes become good things just by changing the perspective." Yang Feng said with a smile.

The next thing is very simple, Yang Feng is considering whether to agree with the Germans to build the railway to Baghdad, and then as soon as the news of the Baghdad to Kuwait railway, which is currently owned by Imperial Oil, is released, the British are immediately anxious, and the British Minister to China Sadaoyi almost came to the door as quickly as possible.

"Your Excellency, I am also very embarrassed by this, to be honest I also know a little about the relationship between you and Germany, although it seems to me that it is indeed very regrettable, but you want me to choose between two friends, it is too difficult for a strong man, to reject the Germans is to offend a friend, to reject you is also to offend a friend, if it is just me personally, it is better to say something, but after all, I am still the emperor of China, sometimes I have to take into account the feelings of the people at home, and I think you also know, Recently, because the Sino-British negotiations on the concession issue have reached an impasse, there has been a lot of criticism of your country among the people of our country. Yang Feng sighed and said.

Although Yang Feng has been a little aggressive in recent years, he has not yet expressed his hostility to Britain, and from the perspective of China's practical interests, there is no contradiction with Britain that cannot be resolved. Now everyone is fighting for nothing more than oil, China itself has big oil fields, and has already occupied the oil fields of Mexico and the Confederacy, at least for the foreseeable future, Yang Feng will not lack oil in his hands. At present, most of China's industry revolves around oil and high technology, and Britain does not have the strength to compete with China in these aspects, so it can be said that the two sides do not have the problem of competing for the market, and more importantly, Yang Feng himself also has a large number of industries in the United Kingdom, and the relationship with the British royal family is even closer.

Although there is a Sino-French problem in the middle, this problem is not unsolvable, and if necessary, it can even make France sacrifice a little, such as selling the protection rights of the Khmer and Laos to Yang Feng, as long as the price is right, the French will not refuse, anyway, those two places are of little value, and now the main problem between China and Britain is only the concession in China, and the British government has long been ready to hand over these concessions, just to sell them for a good price.

"Your Majesty, regarding the concession issue, our government only feels that it needs to continue negotiations in some details, and if the Chinese people have a misunderstanding because of this, I think this misunderstanding can be easily solved." Sa Daoyi said with a smile.

"In this way, I also think that your country will not affect the friendship between China and Britain because of a few small concessions." Yang Feng said with a smile.

In order to show sincerity to Yang Feng, before Yang Feng had definitively rejected the Germans, the British side hastily concluded the negotiations and returned all the concessions in China to China, including Hong Kong, the largest of them, and Shanghai, the most valuable, of course, China needed to protect the property of British citizens in these places, and the concession became history forever in China.

Soon after the negotiations, Yang Feng also made a choice that satisfied the British.

"Your Excellency, I think it is still a little inappropriate for the Baghdad Railway to be connected to the Baghdad Kuwaiti Railway, which is owned by Imperial Oil, because this issue has too much impact and can easily affect the stability of the Middle East.

In fact, whether it is connected or not, it does not mean much to your country, the management of this railway is in the hands of the British, I am just a shareholder waiting for dividends, and will not participate in the management of the railway, so even if it is connected, it is impossible to provide you with any help in this regard, and those British employees can still create countless obstacles for your train to pass.

And the most realistic significance of this railway for your country is nothing more than that in the future, your crude oil imports do not need to go through the Suez Canal, you can go to Istanbul, and then land at any port on the Mediterranean coast, if this is the only one, in fact, I also have a good solution.

I can help build a highway in your country. Yang Feng said to Haijing with a smile.

"Highway?" Haijing heard of this term for the first time, in fact, when China and Britain restarted the negotiations on the concession issue, and the British happily handed over the lease, he already knew that Yang Feng and the British had reached a compromise, so he was not surprised that Yang Feng refused to connect with the railway, and Germany had nothing to do about it, they had to rely on Yang Feng to develop the offshore oil fields in Germany for them, but the concept of the highway was indeed very surprising.

"Yes, this is a new traffic concept that I have devised myself, which is simply to build a fully enclosed asphalt-hardened road that can carry large-tonnage trucks, and of course some details that can ensure that the trucks can go directly from the starting point to the end at a high speed of 70 kilometers or even 100 kilometers. As a supporting tool, Kirin Motors is also developing a heavy-duty truck that can have a deadweight tonnage of more than 30 tons or even more than 50 tons, using this road to connect two railway stations, you can imagine that a hundred such trucks can shuttle through this road at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, and only need one round trip to transfer the goods of several trains, so it is not a big deal whether the two railways are connected together. Yang Feng said with a smile. (To be continued......)
