Chapter 152: Provocation by the State of New Guinea
After playing for a while, the three of them were already out of breath. Xia Tingwei hugged her sister and calmed down her breath, then suddenly turned her head and asked Fang Xiaoyu: "Husband, if you force them so much today, aren't you afraid that the Cossack Empire will fight you to the end?" ”
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I know very well the current situation of the Cossack Empire, if they continue the war, what awaits them will be the danger of being divided by several major powers, and they will definitely accept such conditions." And the reason why I disagreed with Daria's request was not entirely because I was averse to political marriage, I had a bigger plan, and it was not in my interest to intermarry with the Cossack Empire. ”
Xia Tingyun heard the different meaning in her words, she grabbed Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Okay, you're stealing again?" What do you say about that Daria. As he spoke, the three of them rolled into a ball again.
The negotiations between the Cossack Empire and the Chinese Territory were suspended for several days, and Fang Xiaoyu was not in a hurry, but just visited the school every day to guide the construction of factories or scientific research, and lived very comfortably. Xiao Feng's gold smelting work was also nearing completion, and Fang Xiaoyu planned to upgrade Xiao Feng as soon as the smelting was over.
These days, in addition to the immigration department, the busiest in the Chinese territory is the military. The army is transporting a large number of supplies in preparation for the arrival of the spring offensive, and all the troops are gearing up, planning to take the initiative when the spring flowers bloom, and the imperial troops who have been connected to the command are also eager to try and show their skills on the battlefield of the national war.
Half a month later, the Cossack Imperial delegation finally couldn't hold it anymore. The Cossack Empire's finances were already very difficult, and Alexander III had no money to fight another big war, so the only way now was to accept the plan of the Chinese Territory, and then raise funds to build a railway from the western continent to the Berian Plain, and then rely on the transportation capacity of this railway to send a large army to recapture the land occupied by Fang Xiaoyu.
Nikolayevich eventually signed the agreement, which later became known as the Treaty of Vladivostok, in which the Cossack Empire admitted its mistake in waging the war, ceded the entire Far East and half of the Siberian Plain to the Chinese Territory as compensation, and used the Ob River as a new border between the two sides.
At the same time, the Cossack Empire recognized the northern subcontinent as the territory of the Chinese Territory, and contributed 100 million Lanfang coins to redeem the captured naval and army officers and soldiers, and the Cossack Empire could pay this ransom in the form of goods in five years. The Chinese leader also disarmed the more than 50,000 men and horses besieged by Admiral Romanov and sent them back to the Cossack Empire.
As for Princess Daria, she did not participate in the signing of the contract, but left for China two days ago, and before leaving, she asked Nikolayevich to convey a sentence to Fang Xiaoyu: "You wait, I will come back." ”
The signing of the Treaty of Vladivostok allowed Fang Xiaoyu to obtain a large amount of territory, which was divided into four counties: Beidi, Helan, Yanmen, and Dongberia, and the territory of the Chinese territory was doubled. Of course, these lands are still in an undeveloped state, and not only need government investment in large-scale infrastructure construction, but also a large number of people need to be enriched to truly enhance the strength of the Chinese collar.
In order to intensify publicity, Fang Xiaoyu increased capital investment, so that the government of the Chinese collar not only published advertisements in the "China Daily" but also in other newspapers across the country, publicizing the preferential policies of the Chinese collar, not only the minimum ration guarantee, but also a large number of job opportunities, free land allocation, and free school opportunities for children.
Such favorable conditions made the poor people all over the country flock to it, and the Chinese Consulate sent a large number of vehicles to help people relocate for free, and the number of people who moved there increased. The local governments are happy to reduce population density and land conflicts, not only do not stop them, but also provide various convenient conditions to make the immigration work of the Chinese collar more efficient.
In addition to speeding up the construction of railways and highways and increasing immigration, the Chinese Collar also helped the businessmen who started their own businesses to set up factories. Fang Xiaoyu needs to take into account the development of both the Chinese Territory and the Wild Continent, even at the speed at which he makes money, he can't take care of it, in order to get more development funds and manpower, Fang Xiaoyu set his sights on overseas Chinese.
In the thousand-year history, the Chinese have always been the most powerful ethnic group in the Eastern Continent, so driven by economic interests, many Chinese people have spread to all parts of the Eastern Continent, according to Fang Xiaoyu's investigation, the Chinese people on the Eastern Continent have removed the population in the Lanfang Empire, and there are hundreds of millions of people overseas, which are all potential human resources for Fang Xiaoyu to develop the Chinese Territory.
In addition, the Wild Continent is now only Fang Xiaoyu's invisible territory, and its security is not guaranteed, which is very unfavorable to its own development. In order to solve these two problems, Fang Xiaoyu was not only preparing to provide protection for overseas Chinese people in exchange for their investment, but also planned to announce that the Wild Continent would be incorporated into the Chinese territory. Just as Fang Xiaoyu was about to make an announcement, an unexpected thing happened.
Over the years, with the entry of a large number of slave immigrants, the wild continent has been developed more and more prosperous, which made the king of the Kingdom of New Guinea, Busdacole I, very jealous, he regretted that he had sold such a vast piece of land at such a small price, so he wanted to take this land back.
The Kingdom of New Guinea sent a small fleet to cruise outside the Savage Continent, which alerted Tobul, who immediately made contact with Fang Xiaoyu by radio. After receiving this information, Fang Xiaoyu immediately ordered the government of the Chinese Territory to release news to the outside world, announcing that the land of the Wild Continent purchased by Fang Xiaoyu privately would be incorporated into the Chinese Territory.
As soon as the news came out, governments were taken aback. The Chinese Territory has expanded nearly eight times in just a few years since its establishment, and this time it has doubled again, and the entire territory of the Chinese Territory has exceeded 10 million square kilometers, becoming a larger existence than the Lanfang Empire.
The rather ignorant New Guinea Kingdom Busdako I didn't know how powerful the current Chinese Territory was, he was annoyed when he heard the news, and actually declared the Wild Continent the property of the New Guinea Kingdom, and did not recognize the sovereignty of the Chinese Territory over it, and at the same time forcibly took back the transit port Dharan Port leased to Fang Xiaoyu, and sent a huge fleet to enter the waterway of the Wild Continent and march towards Moore Harbor, and a big war was about to break out.
At this time, Tobul and Fu Mingcheng were discussing the battle plan together, with the strength of the three armies of the Iron and Blood Army on the wild continent of 135,000 people, and the immigrant population was already as high as two million, if the militia was recruited to participate in the war, there would be a lot of people, but because of the narrow channel here, no navy was established, and the two of them felt a little tricky in the face of the huge fleet that rushed over.
Fu Mingcheng said: "The intelligence from the Gu Intelligence Bureau shows that there are no ironclad ships in the Kingdom of New Guinea, and all warships are wooden, so we should be able to deal with it with the power of our hundreds of coastal defense cannons." ”
