Chapter 810: Alexander II: I Won Ma!
Option A:
The Ming Dynasty will have full funding, technology, and personnel to build railways in the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire, and enjoy sovereignty over the railways and economic privileges along the railways in accordance with international practice.
Daming will set up four major institutions, namely the Dongluo Hall, the Dongluo Army Headquarters, the Daming Consulate and the Dongluo Railway Co., Ltd., an important node of the railway, which enjoy extraterritorial jurisdiction and are under the direct jurisdiction of the Daming Honglu Temple.
Obviously, the Russians will not agree to it at all.
It is impossible for any government with an unbroken backbone to agree to such a state-within-a-state solution.
Zhu Fugui also expected this.
Therefore, Da Ming is more sincere in the second plan.
If the first plan can be called the devil plan, then the second plan, Zhu Fugui is willing to call it the Maozi plan of turning the original soup into the original food.
Option B:
The Ming Dynasty will have full authority to finance, technology, and personnel to build railways in the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Railways are divided into different countries according to national borders.
But given that both are world superpowers spanning two continents and have a long history, both sides should learn from the wisdom of their predecessors.
Therefore, the Eastern Romans should take into account the demands of the people, allow national self-determination, and hold a referendum in Tatarstan and its surrounding Tatar-dominated areas, so that the people can decide whether to secede from the Eastern Roman Empire.
If the referendum passes, the newly formed state of Transtatarstan will become a natural buffer between the two empires of Minro.
……
When Alexander II got Zhu Fugui's plan, he barely looked at it and threw it into the fireplace.
It was thrown into the fireplace with fuel and a telegram from London.
This is the third time this month that London has sent a telegram urging Russia to abandon its territorial claims to Greece and the Balkans.
And this time, with the defection of the Italians, the British were clearly more emboldened and tougher.
"The Kingdom of Italy, concerned about the situation in the Balkans, had to be coerced by Germany into joining the axis of evil.
Now they have repented, changed their ways, tried those responsible, and returned to the banner of justice.
As a just party to world peace and regional stability, it is only natural that we, on the basis of facts and respect for history, should maintain the independence of the Balkan countries from Greece and dispel the concerns of our new allies.
This is our stated goal and the best solution after the Ottoman disintegration.
Of course, we are well aware of Russia's interests, so we are also actively negotiating with France and Austria to recognize your sovereignty over Constantinople......"
……
"Abominable British, abominable Victoria and Churchill!"
After retiring the clerk, Alexander II angrily slapped the table and roared at the fireplace, "You don't even want to call me Augustus!" ”
The British, acting as allied talkers, used Russian interests to bribe Italian speculators, much to the outrage of Alexander II.
What to say recognizing Russia's sovereignty over Constantinople......
We are Rome, Rome!
Isn't it natural that Rome owns Constantinople?
Where do you need your approval!
But to hold Greece and the Balkans is tantamount to choking the throat and balls of Eastern Rome!
Alexander II felt that he could barely breathe anymore!
For the "Eastern Roman Empire", 10,000 Tatarstans were not as important as Greece.
The situation in the current situation of Russia's entry into Kwantung Rome is somewhat similar to that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The barbarians from the northeast have taken charge of the capital and are naturally going to move the capital.
Once the capital is moved to Istanbul, the three peninsulas of Greece, the Balkans, and Asia Minor will be far more important than their hometowns in the northeast.
Of course, St. Petersburg and Moscow are equivalent to Shengjing, which is the land of the ancestors' dragon and must not be lost.
But what Kazan, what Tatarstan, those are not the real ancestral land of mature women, it is the territory of savage women, and it is more biased than any Ninguta.
Selling some savage women to really turn into an outer place, in fact, if you want to wear it, there is nothing distressing.
This is why Alexander II had even nodded on the issue of cession of Tatarstan before.
But who knows, the peaks and loops, the lovely Italian actually sent an unexpected joy to himself.
No, thinking of the faces of the British, Alexander II felt that the Italians were hateful again.
Sure enough, this kind of pig teammate is really a vicious dog!
·
After venting for a while, Alexander II picked up the only Ming second plan that had not been thrown into the furnace just now.
To be honest, this plan can see the sincerity of the Ming side.
500 million rubles, in exchange for the neutrality of Tatarstan, this is not a good deal.
At least it's a lot more cost-effective than a $5 million fire sale to Alaska.
Originally, Tatarstan was ready to give up.
Now here and outside, it is equivalent to 500 million more out of thin air!
Alexander II knew that the steel needed to lay the rails alone was up to Rome alone, and he did not know that it would take years of dogs to save enough.
Daming gave a fairly professional and detailed engineering project table, which is an important part of the cost or the cost of steel smelting.
In this era of iron and fire, steel can also be said to be an international hard currency.
Even Alexander II felt that this might be a good opportunity to weaken the Ming state.
Although he had not heard the story of Korea sending engineers to Qin to preside over the construction of the Zhengguo Canal in an attempt to weaken the Qin State, out of superstition about steel, Alexander II still felt that Zhu Fugui was a little swollen and fat.
How many rifles and cannons will have to be made to build precious steel for the construction of railroads!
What a short-sighted loser!
Well, it seems that his family business is all earned by himself.
But no matter what, it's still a loser!
Loser!
Of course, Alexander II will never know how much steel worth hundreds of millions of rubles in this era will be worth in later generations.
But whatever!
Anyway, he didn't want to join the Mingde Alliance, and the Ming Kingdom was weakened to care about his own affairs.
And since Zhu Fugui boasted of such a Haikou, he must still have some steel reserves.
After all, there were 550 million people in the Ming Kingdom.
Alexander II estimated that next, Zhu Fugui would issue a mobilization order for the whole people to make steel.
This will inevitably cause great harm to the war potential of the Ming Kingdom.
In this way, the Ming Kingdom stopped, Germany was defeated, France was hit hard, and Britain was injured internally, which is also a very good situation for my great Rome.
Thinking in this way, Alexander II suddenly felt that it was indeed wonderful to separate Tatarstan as a buffer zone between Rome and the Ming Kingdom.
Our Russian Empire has been operating in Tatarstan for two hundred years, although it has only been a tax package, and has not engaged in economic construction and people's livelihood projects, but you, a newcomer to the Ming Kingdom, how can you compete with us in terms of influence?
Alexander II eventually discovered that Tatarstan was independent, but in fact it was still in his own hands.
It's just another way of saying it, and the Ming kingdom is allowed to do business, and the ruling Tatar nobles are still their own people.
Inside and out, there is a big railway for nothing!
This business, I can win numbly!
