On the shore of Kunming Lake, the green willows are shady, and walking in it makes people feel refreshed and happy. 【 I want: super fast update 】

This royal garden full of oriental charm makes Salisbury who comes to Salisbury for the first time can't help but be staggered, and only the ancient Chinese can build such a beautiful garden, which makes him sigh at the same time, but also secretly doubt the authenticity of the sentence "Li Mo was favored by the goddess of luck", otherwise why would he let a low-ranking general family get this country?

It has only been thirteen years since he first bought land in Hawaii, "but in these thirteen years, this arsonist has lit fires everywhere, used huge funds that no one knows where they came from, and used mysterious technical support to achieve a feat!"

Now, counting the captured Russian ** ships, his total naval tonnage has surpassed that of France, does this indicate that this madman will continue to challenge for the crown of the world's No. 1?

Salisbury shook his head, he couldn't know, maybe the only one in this world who could read Li Mo was himself, so he flew and asked: "Your Majesty Emperor Li Mo, this is really a beautiful huā garden, its area amazes me so much, it is as large as your fleet." ”

"Sure enough."

Li Mo smiled slightly in his heart, the British were still worried about the challenges at sea, so they stared at their fleet, but fortunately, they must now make way for national construction, and even the navy can't look down on the captured warships, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, this garden is the condensation of our Chinese people's garden art, but it's a pity that it originally had a twin sister, but it was destroyed in the war." ”

"Really? That's a shame. Salisbury smiled knowingly: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you on calling your fleet the second navy in the world." ”

"Congratulations? No need. Li Mo waved his hand pretending to be and said with a sad brow: "Your Majesty, I don't want to hide it from you, in fact, I don't want to keep such a large fleet, because it is too burdensome for this country, so I have asked the navy to sell all the captured Russian ships, and I am also ready to reduce three battleships and three cruisers" So your praise should be left to France. "Why? According to my calculations, "you have too many maritime frontiers to protect", why cut the navy? "No money. Li Mo spread his hands bluntly: "If the Prime Minister is willing to provide a loan of 5 billion British pounds," I am not willing to weaken the navy. ”

"Five Billion List!"

Salisbury people are sick, and there is probably only this crazy person in the world who dares to casually report this increase, but Hua's reduction of the navy is also expected by him, "I just didn't expect it to be so large, after all, compared with France, although China has the world's largest huge territory, but the comprehensive national strength is too far from France" and he will definitely expand the army after occupying the vast Siberia" because he has too many places to defend, so it is impossible to support so many warships.

Besides, even if you have money, I can't lend it to you, and I have to discuss it with the United States" because Shangyu knows whether this guy will start building ships on a large scale again after getting the loan, and with his current technology, if he has enough money and steel, he doesn't need to make more than 30 capital battleships in five years, and there is no problem at all. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

So he smiled politely and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, you really like to joke, my country is currently in economic difficulties, and it is impossible to provide loans to other countries. ”

"Then let me issue Treasury bonds." Emperor Li climbed up the pole.

"I'm afraid not."

"Then provide supplies."

"No."

"Okay." Li Mo seemed to have expected this result for a long time, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, Dear Prime Minister, they said that you have something to look for me, is it about the Netherlands and Russia?" ”

Elsbury hurriedly waved his hand: "The negotiations between the Dutch and the Russians will remain neutral" and will not interfere "I have come today to hope that you will allow your technology company to sell radios." "Radio?! Li Mo pretended to be surprised, and dodged: "Your Majesty, who did you listen to?" I don't have the technology. ”

"Huh." As if guessing that Limer would play tricks, Salisbury narrowed his eyes and smiled, "With all due respect, Europe is not big, and General Moltke Jr. is too anxious to verify that he got the radio from you" held an exercise. "It just so happened that it was seen by the citizens of our country.

Li Mo blinked, "I really want to ask the person who saw it is the first generation of James Bond, but he thought about it for a long time" I can't think of anything else that attracts me in the UK, and the shipbuilding technology that I am excited about has gradually mastered because of the nearly 10,000 skilled workers I have been sending to study for ten years, so I gritted my teeth and offered the price: "The technology is impossible, it can only be the same as Germany, two thousand British and one unit" The first batch of orders is less than 1,000 units. ”

"Deal."

Two million pounds is just a drop in the bucket for the UK" So Salisbury immediately agreed to the purchase plan, and was not even willing to dwell on technology transfer, because he believed that with the UK's scientific and technological strength, as long as the finished product was obtained, it would be very easy to crack it.

In fact, he was right, the manufacturing technology of the radio is indeed not complicated, and the difficulty is similar to the signal encryption technology of frequency hopping, "so Li Mo has long thought about taking the opportunity to make a lot of money on the first generation of radios, waiting for Britain and France to take it back and study it for a long time, and found that Emperor Li has already registered a global patent, and if he does not manufacture one in the future, he will have to pay a sum of money like electricity, and his intestines will be green."

What's more, what the Russian radio inventor proposed was indeed true, and in order to save his life, he took out the preliminary design draft, "I have already allowed myself to climb a step, but after that, Li Mo even plans to rot in his stomach for the rest of his life."

On May 2 PS 15, on the same day that the Navy and Thailand reached a contract for the transfer of two cruisers, Salisbury left China with a contract for the purchase of radios, and as British Prime Minister, he could not participate in lengthy negotiations, so he left Kimberley, an old friend of Limer.

On 26 May, "the Ministry of National Defense of the Chinese Empire announced that the navy that had just won the war would be downsized on a large scale" and also put on the shelves two Polar-star battleships that had made great achievements.

On the same day, the Banda Aceh incident, which had been raging for nearly a month, also came to an end, and the Netherlands, because they were caught supplying pigtails to Russia for coal, "so they handed over to China the jurisdiction of the island of Dutch Guinea and the small Sunda Islands, excluding Dili, at a price of seven million blue coins as compensation, when they had already been occupied."

As for Dili, because it had been occupied by Russia before, "it was a spoils of war in China."

In exchange, the Chinese Ministry of National Defense announced that it would revoke the post of commander of the Lefei Nanyang Fleet, which ordered the shelling of Banda Aceh, "and pay a total of three million blue coins to the Dutch and the white Europeans who died as a result of the shelling."

The withdrawal of Le Fei caused a great sensation in the navy, and many officers and soldiers, especially the officers and men of the Nanyang Fleet, wrote a petition asking the emperor to make a decision: "In order to calm the hearts of the people, Houlong Guozhang also had to come forward in person to stabilize some officers and soldiers."

At this moment, Li Mo even forgot about the negotiations in the United States, "he had long been lying on the table and laughing and wiping tears, in the eyes of the countries at this time, this was almost an equivalent deal, because the island of Dutch Guinea was not only inhabited, but also had terrible cannibals, high mountains and dense forests, and lacked sufficient value.

But no one knows at all, according to the information provided by Li Mo according to the world geography he has read, "Huā has spent three years, paid the price of hundreds of deaths, and finally successfully located the world's largest refined copper mine located 40 kilometers southwest of Chaya Peak a few years ago, and it is hundreds of times more valuable than this time, and after owning Chile and now called Chinese Guinea" Emperor Li said that he was the second copper merchant in the world, and no one dared to call him the first again.

Of course, no one knows where the reserves are now, and the prospecting team says that they are very rich, but no one can say exactly how rich they are, "and it is more troublesome to mine them now", mainly because the local environment is too bad, and the indigenous people are rampant, and the famous cannibals are there.

Originally, according to Li Mo's idea, he immediately sent troops to station, and at the same time ordered a large number of machinery, and recruited people to dig immediately, but this time Li Enfu and Chen Ping teamed up to stop him.

The reason is very simple, whether it is Dili or the island of Guinea, they are close to Australia, "Britain is already nervous, if it is stationed on a large scale immediately" will inevitably cause tension in the South Seas, and if it is not good, Australia will be involved", which will completely disrupt the deployment in Australia.

In the end, under the joint dissuasion of the two, Li Mo also calmed down in front of the huge cake, he is currently supported by Chilean copper mines and Australian copper mines, there is no shortage of copper, and Hua also has copper-clad steel technology, which can make up for the needs in an emergency, so it is of little sense to mine Guinean copper ore immediately.

Resources buried in the ground will not escape, as in Siberia, as long as the railway line is extended as much as possible, and the settlement city is built, those undiscovered resources and mineral deposits can be used as a long-term national strategic reserve.

Now the most important thing is still the country and the newly conquered Siberia!

So Li Mo accepted the suggestion and decided to press down the copper mine as a high secret, first build an immigration city on the edge of the mining area, and at the same time build a small seaport in Uta, because Borneo and Luzon have built large cement factories "Guinea is also rich in stone and timber resources, so a lot of materials can be solved on the spot, and after the small city and seaport are built, immediately move five to one hundred thousand immigrants over, and at the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the immigrants, the military will build a main base for tropical jungle combat training nearby, Then use this base to advance inward step by step.

In this way, the safety of the immigrants has been basically guaranteed, "not to mention that the cannibals are dangerous", but the number is actually not much, only about 20,000, as long as some single-shot shotguns are provided to the immigrants, it is enough to ensure safety, and from previous experience, the natives of the islands of the South Seas are obviously not as hostile to the yellow race as high as the whites, and in the history of World War II, there were even natives who helped the Japanese to fight Australia, so as long as they are guided, they will be good laborers.

Of course, as for those who do not obey the "study of Borneo will do."

When the resettlement city is built, some early small-scale mining can be carried out, which can drive the economic construction of the resettlement city, and when it really controls Western Australia and Northern Australia in the future, it will form a huge raw material base, so there is no need to spend a lot of time now.

In front of him was a huge treasure trove of resources, and how to make good use of it had become a national problem, and when Li Mo and his two right-hand men lay on the map to carefully outline a large southwest Pacific economy and resource circle, the negotiations in New York finally began.

From the very beginning of the negotiations, there was a big stalemate.

It's very simple, because Tang Shaoyi proposed to divide the line of actual control between the two armies, that is, it is no longer the Yenisei River as the boundary, but directly advanced more than 500 kilometers to the west, "with Tomsk and the Ob River as the boundary."

"It can't be!" , this condition is not to mention Nicholas II, even such a pragmatic and hasty person as Sergei Ivit directly slapped the table.

Of course, Tang Shaoyi's return is simple.

Adjournment!! ~！
