But the British government has no reason to stop Yang Feng, you must know that in the current situation, this guy cannot be stimulated in any way, especially in this kind of project that can bring him huge income, Emperor Yang is very serious about money, and preventing him from making money is not much different from robbing his wife.

However, as the British minister to China, Sadaoyi still needs to express the British government's position on this matter a little.

"Your Majesty, I think you should be aware of the current situation in Europe, don't you think that if there is such a highway, it can easily be used by some ambitious countries?" He said as tactfully as he could.

"Ambitious country? Your Excellency, are you joking? The road was on Ottoman soil, could it be that the Ottomans were becoming ambitious now? How is it that I don't see that His Majesty Hamid has intentions for other countries? Yang Feng said with a smile.

Since he was pretending to be stupid, it was not easy for him to force him to take a stand, but when the Chinese road builders arrived in Baghdad and began to explore the route, the British government immediately announced that it would send six old diesel-engine battleships to Alexandria, Egypt, and it was obvious that in the event of a war they would be used to blockade the ports of Austria-Hungary, and if Italy also entered the war, then it would form a steel line of defense in the Mediterranean with the fleet of Gibraltar and the French naval fleet, Firmly block the flow of oil from the Middle East to the Allied bloc.

On land, however, it was difficult for them to guarantee that the Serbs could hold their country, otherwise Germany would still be able to import crude oil directly from the Middle East via the Guò railway.

Of course, it is their business how to be vigilant in the British, anyway, the Chinese road builders soon completed the line exploration and then entered the construction stage, although this is the world's first highway, but in fact similar asphalt hardened roads have begun to be popularized in countries around the world, after all, with the development of the oil industry, a large number of cheap asphalt is constantly produced from oil refineries as waste, thousands of years ago the people of Baghdad already knew about paving with asphalt. There's no reason why people won't take advantage of it thousands of years from now.

Especially in China, all the major roads built in recent years, almost all of them are asphalt and cement hardened, especially the Beijing-Tianjin Avenue from Beiping to Tianjin, except that it is not fully closed, there is no difference between the standards and the highway in all other aspects, and now these are already experienced road construction workers, nothing more than to build the same road according to some detailed indicators provided by Emperor Yang, and then enclose the two sides with barbed wire.

In total, it's just over a hundred kilometers. Moreover, there are no rivers and mountains along the way, and Hamid II has also prepared hundreds of thousands of migrant workers, and it is estimated that it will be opened to traffic together with the Baghdad Railway in less than half a year.

Yang Feng and Hamid II did not pay for the construction of this highway, it was a low-interest loan provided by the German government to the Ottoman government, and the right to operate this highway for five years was used as a guarantee, to put it bluntly, the Germans paid for the construction of this railway, and then they used it for five years, which shows that even if there was no Moroccan crisis, William and his ministers were not prepared to wait too long.

This is a money-giving deal for Yang Feng. Not only did most of the funds for road construction go into the pockets of the Chinese, but in the future, the Germans must also buy a large number of truck trucks from Kirin Motors, and such trucks are currently built in addition to Kirin Cars. I can't even imagine that with the strength of the German automobile industry, it can make small trucks of less than five tons, and the total weight is five tons. They are now able to use the steel they bought from Bofors and then build a diesel engine with 5,000 horsepower.

But it was a ship, and it was heavy. If you let them build a 300 horsepower diesel engine that can fit into a truck, uh! After that, their trucks will have to spend one-third of their tonnage to house this machine, and if it is paired with their own gearbox, it will be even more exaggerated, and it is estimated that Kirin will not see a worthy opponent for at least ten years.

Monopolies are very proud, especially technology monopolies, of course, political monopolies are even more arrogant, like such a truck, after-sales service is really profitable, what is zero to three hundred? Just kidding, you have to have at least a thousand, and you have to put on a high-minded face as if you were giving alms.

As the Madrid conference continued to drag on, the Moroccan crisis was gradually fading, especially in France, after the initial agitation, those ordinary people who hated the Germans slowly calmed down, after all, none of these ordinary people would really like war, even if the Germans still occupied Alsace and Lorraine, which once belonged to them, but in that matter, a large part of the matter was because Napoleon III was to blame, and besides, it was so clearly divided between European countries. If you really push it up, everyone will still lie at the feet of the Romans and lick their feet? In this way, who are the Italians going to reason with now?

Throw away what you throw away! Ordinary people still have to be busy for food and clothing, national hatred is national hatred, and they have to shed their own blood if they really fight and win, and they have to shed their own blood, which the French people still see very clearly.

After the British missed the first good opportunity, because of the concerns of the parliament and the careful thinking of the French, at this time the Prime Minister Balfour had no interest in making a move, and now the number of German perfect battleships has increased to sixteen, and the British are only twenty, although there is a gap between the two sides, but this gap is difficult for the Royal Navy to find confidence, even if the allies are added, the number can still maintain an advantage over Germany and Austria more than one and a half times, but considering that the main force of the Russian Navy is encircled in the Baltic Sea, Add to that the fact that the position of the guys is currently unclear, and this advantage can hardly be said to be decisive.

After both Britain and France withered, the Madrid conference finally gave some real sight, the French proposed that most of the projects that helped Morocco carry out reforms could be abandoned, but that Moroccan police power must be handed over to France and Spain, which was effectively a return to the original historical solution to the Moroccan crisis.

But it's a pity that Germany at this time is not the Germany of the first Moroccan crisis in history, and the police control is in the hands of the French, which means that the French can justifiably send a large number of armed personnel to Morocco, and after they use guns to control Morocco and Sudan, this country is not the same They have the final say?

The Germans were not so stupid, originally in history they succumbed, that was because the gap between the German Navy and the British Navy at that time in history was too big, and there was no hope of really fighting, but at this time the German Navy had enough strength to support Wilhelm to continue to be tough.

The Germans still cling to the original principle, no country can change the division of interests in Morocco that was determined by the countries in 1880, and even if there is a reform, it should be that everyone should work together to help Morocco and Sudan carry out reforms, so why should you French go by yourself?

Of course, this is unacceptable to France, they toss for so long, they can't get nothing at all, right? In fact, in the eyes of the French government, this is already a step down for the Germans, and since we have all been subservient, you can't give us no face, right? Bullies can't be bullied like that.

It's a pity that the Germans have seen their lust at this time, and now with the commissioning of those battleships one by one, both William and Bilow no longer have any worries, even if they really fight, there is nothing to worry about, since this is the case, then bully the French! Who calls himself qualified to bully them!

At the meeting in Madrid, the German negotiators proudly rejected all the conditions put forward by the French, in short, Morocco, you don't have to count on it.

"Did the Moroccan Sultan say he was going to reform?" Yang Feng asked Zhang Quan curiously, he had just remembered at this time that a group of people had been arguing there for more than half a year, and it seemed that no one had asked the opinions of the parties.

"Nope." Zhang Quan smiled and shook his head.

"Did the Moroccan delegates be invited to the Madrid meeting?" Yang Feng asked again.

Zhang Quan still smiled and shook his head, the Sultan of Morocco is not stupid, although the Madrid Conference studied him, but he has no right to speak, if he sends a representative, no matter what kind of remarks he makes, there is a possibility of offending a certain Tyrannosaurus rex, since this is the case, he is still honestly waiting for the verdict!

"Alas, this is the face of the imperialists!" Emperor Yang sighed disdainfully, just as there was no him among the imperialists.

Of course, the quarrel of the European powers is already a very distant thing for him, at least from the current situation, this time it is enough to choke to fight, although he now does not care about the war in Europe, but it is not a bad thing to be able to drag on for another year or two.

Just when he lamented the shameless behavior of those imperialists, the luxury cruise ship Vostok, which set off from China, slowly docked at the port of Athens, the capital of Greece, and was welcomed by the Greek royal family, and the Queen of Austria set foot on the European continent with the red panda presented to her by Yang Feng.

Her Majesty will spend a month in Greece, and she has a very good relationship with the Greek royal family, a country where she spends the most time in the rest of her life, and then she will travel north by train to bridge the tensions between Austria-Hungary and Serbia during this time, and she will visit Belgrade as she passes there, hoping to dispel the clouds of war over the two countries with her smile.

It's a pity that what she doesn't know is that her trip will ignite the fuse of a world war, and as for herself, she will never be able to return to her country. (To be continued......)
