Chapter 881: Zhu Fugui, Good Man!

said that it was the Three Emperors Alliance, but during the day on the first day, Zhu Fugui was almost all in the reception of Western Chu officials.

Among the four major internal domains, there are countless secret agents of Jinyiwei.

Even in the court, there are informants of Jinyiwei.

It can be said that even if Zhu Fugui does not leave Fengdu for the rest of his life, he can firmly control the situation.

But no matter how detailed the description and how accurate the data are, the summary of intelligence is not as intuitive as the actual one.

Zhu Fugui cordially met with and encouraged a large number of young officials in Western Chu, encouraging them to work hard for the cause of China's rejuvenation and take root in the frontiers.

It wasn't until the evening that a big dinner was prepared for the temporary line, and the big tomorrow officially feasted friends from the West.

Talking while eating is not only a tradition for Chinese, but also valid for foreigners.

was ruthlessly pretended to be "Tsinghua Palace" by Zhu Fugui before, and Wilhelm II was a little depressed.

At the wine table, he wanted to put on an indifferent face of a strong man to show his arrogance.

It's a pity that he accidentally ate a chopsticks fried sauce pork noodles, and he broke the work in a second.

Just kidding, when Bismarck came to Daming, he ate twenty bowls of fried noodles in a row, one more bowl than Kissinger.

Wilhelm II wanted to say that his mother's noodles were the best noodles in the world, but when he thought of his mother's noodles from England, Wilhelm II had to admit that the gap between British cuisine and Chinese cuisine was probably worse than the gap between the R-1 airship and the Kunpeng plane.

What an abomination!

Generally speaking, the better the cooking of the people, the worse the combat effectiveness.

The French are like this, the Italians are like this, the Turks are like this, the Indians are still like this, why do they prefer the Ming people......

Wilhelm II nibbled on a pig's knuckle while swallowing tears of grievance.

Of course, Zhu Fugui didn't know what his eldest nephew thought, and he didn't care.

He vigorously transferred the favorite delicacies of the only country, such as big elbows and fat intestines, to his eldest nephew, and almost put them into his bowl with chopsticks.

This is the care of an elder for a junior.

As for how Zhu Fugui knows which dishes are the favorite dishes of the independent people, this is actually very simple.

In the early years, Zhu Fugui discovered that all the dishes that Li accompanied and loved to eat were liked by the people of the independent country.

In addition to Li Banban and Duguo people in the world, Zhu Fugui has never seen the third type of ruthless people who love to eat honey pig ears.

Compared with William's nephew, who was indulging in a sea of pork, Alexander's brother was much more so.

On the Kunpeng with a limited load, he simply stuffed more than a dozen boxes of water of life, and now he took it out.

This is Spirytus Rektyfikowany vodka from Poland.

Just as the independent country is rich in Polish Hercules, Russia is also rich in Polish vodka.

The reason why I insisted on bringing wine was because when the foreign students who had stayed in the Ming Dynasty returned to Moscow to visit relatives, they actually said that vodka was the wine drunk by the countrymen, and the superior people had to drink the old white dry and stuffy two pots.

This made many Russian aristocrats deeply unconvinced.

So this time, they stuffed a lot of this 96-degree water of life into the Tsar's special plane, planning to go to Broken Leaf City to touch the people of the Ming Kingdom.

This made Zhu Fugui couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat.

It's not that I sweat coldly for myself, but I sweat for the plane.

Zhu Fugui decided that in the future, he would reformulate a new version of the flight manual, and he would explicitly prohibit dangerous goods from boarding the plane.

Vodka at 96 degrees...... This thing is 1 degree purer than the fuel alcohol in the alcohol lamp!

Zhu Fugui really didn't understand why this thing could be called wine.

Of course, even Tsar Alexander, the strongest man in wine, would not dare to drink the water of life directly, because it would really kill people if he did so.

He mixed the water of life with the Great Wusu produced by Western Chu, lowered the degree, and then drank it one by one, raising his eyebrows at Zhu Fugui from time to time.

Zhu Fugui just didn't see this.

I have four beautiful wives who are like flowers, and there is a beautiful translator, so I can't do anything else without being hard, my liver is hard first,

Zhu Fugui knew that he would definitely not be the opponent of the Russians tonight, but at this level of negotiation, the first three days were most likely just warm-ups, and would not talk about substantive content.

I only need to wait a few more days, and the form can be reversed.

Last time in Budapest, he suffered a loss from the wine table negotiation, how could Zhu Fugui not prepare.

Daming promised not to use Li Banban first, but he did not give up using Li Banban either.

Old Eunuch Li is not suitable for flying ships for some reason, so he will arrive in Shattered Leaf City a little later.

When he arrived, it was the day of the Ming counterattack.

It was not until the fourth day, the eighth day of the arrival of the two Western kings, that Alexander woke up from a hangover in a daze, and was surprised to find that he was sleeping with Wilhelm II in his arms, and he remembered the majestic figure of the previous night.

Although he said something like "Sprinkle family can't drink", "Rice wine is still warm, and spirits are really hard to drink", the majestic figure picked up 96 degrees of vodka, raised his head, and killed tons and tons, and then stuck out his tongue and fanned the wind with a disgusted face.

"Even the water in the large intestine of a blanched pig is better than this thing!"

The majestic man smacked his lips, raised the glass bottle held by three fingers, and stuffed it into Alexander's arms, "Rakshasa Emperor, the Sprinkle family is dry, you are free." ”

Alexander remembers that his face seemed to be green in the reflection of the wine glass.

The great man urged: "Rakshasa Emperor, if you don't drink, this is not to give face to the Sprinkle family?" ”

Then Alexander saw the man lift himself up like a chicken, and put the bottle into his mouth.

And then what happened, Alexander did not remember......

……

Alexander II is known by historians as the greatest tsar of the Normanov dynasty and the best in personal habits.

He was the only one of the tsars of all generations who succeeded in quitting alcohol addiction, even without drinking at all.

It is believed that it was precisely because of his diligence and dedication to state affairs that he created the possibility of the revival of the Russian-Eastern Roman state.

But at this moment, Alexander II was a little confused by the series of agreements he had signed.

He had no memory of how he had lost ownership of the Caspian Sea and the land north of it.

Talking about business in a wine glass, this is a Russian tradition.

It's just that this kind of thing has always been taken advantage of by Russia, but I didn't expect him to lose so completely this time.

The only thing Alexander is happy about is that in the previous "Ming Luo Budapest Agreement", he had sold almost all the land that could be sold, and this time he did not let the cunning Zhu Fugui take advantage of the majority.

Alexander studied the terms carefully, his brow furrowed.

Zhu Fugui did not take advantage of the danger to swallow Tatarstan, or push the border of the Ming Kingdom to Georgia and obtain the outlet of the Black Sea.

If that is the case, even if he tears his face, Alexander will tear up this new "Supplementary Agreement", which is absolutely unacceptable.

This time, the Ming Dynasty only swept away the northern part of the Caspian Sea, a small triangle at the mouth of the Volga River, and a small peninsula called Kuba in Azerbaijan. (pictured)

At the same time, the "agreement" also stipulates that sovereignty over all waters of the Caspian Sea belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and that the Russian Caucasus region is not allowed to enclose lakes for farming, go to lakes for fishing, or engage in all economic activities.

In Alexander II's view, the Ming had a good reason to do so.

As we all know, the people of Daming love to eat seafood.

This is the bad atmosphere brought out by the dog emperor Zhu Fugui.

When the big crabs were abandoned, the simple situation of competing for fat pork has long since ceased to exist.

All kinds of fish, shrimp, crab snails have gradually become a common food on the rich table of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Caspian Sea is only a lake, just like Baikal is home to seals and sharks, the Caspian Sea, the largest saltwater lake in the world, also produces seafood.

In addition to the absence of whales, there are countless seals, silver sweat fish, gobies, salmon, and all kinds of crabs, and they are of excellent quality.

The Ming Dynasty is a Pacific Rim empire, and naturally there is no shortage of seafood.

However, the Ming Beiting Protectorate is located in the north of the Tianshan Mountains and extends westward to the western foot of the Ural Mountains.

For the people here, it is undoubtedly a dream to eat fresh Pacific seafood.

And the Caspian Sea is perfectly capable of meeting their needs.

So Zhu Fugui planned to use 1 million tons of high-quality steel to exchange the Russian Empire for absolute control of the Caspian Sea.

At the same time, the Ming promised to supply 800 pounds of black caviar to the Russian imperial family free of charge every year.

After Alexander II woke up, he lay on the map carefully, comparing one place name after another, and finally determined that Zhu Fugui really did not take advantage of others.

The delta that Daming rowed away was just a small place of less than 1T.

As for Kuba in Azerbaijan......

What kind of big place is that, Brother Zhu Fugui wants to eat seafood, just take it!

In fact, in this day and age, apart from producing the world's best black caviar for vodka, Alexander II really didn't see much value in the Caspian Sea.

This closed saltwater lake is completely different from the Black Sea, there are no straits leading to the ocean, and its value for shipping is very limited.

In addition, Alexander II heard from agricultural experts that the Turan lowlands on the eastern side of the Caspian Sea were a beautiful trap.

The Turan lowlands appear to be flat, fertile and sunny, but in reality they are limited by water resources and have low agricultural output.

The highly salty waters of the Caspian Sea were completely unusable for irrigation, so the Ming had to build a series of water conservancy projects upstream of the river to intercept the fresh water flowing into the Caspian Sea.

Not to mention how time-consuming and laborious these projects are, let's just say that there is so much runoff from a few small rivers in Central Asia, and no matter how much water conservancy is built, it is impossible to generate water out of thin air.

The more water used for irrigation, the less water will be injected into the Caspian Sea, and eventually the Caspian Sea will shrink or even dry up.

In this way, the "Mingluo Supplementary Treaty" stipulates that the sovereignty of the Caspian Sea waters belongs to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there is a very small possibility.

That is, the Ming Dynasty completed the super project, cut off the Ob River, the Yenisei River and other rivers that flow into the Arctic Ocean, divert water from the north to the south, and irrigate the Central Asian plain.

This is naturally a fool's dream.

Except for the time of Xunzong, when the Soviets tried in earnest, and finally lost money and died without illness, normal people could not do such crazy things.

So no matter how Alexander II calculated, it was really cost-effective to take such a broken lake and the surrounding boogers to exchange half of the annual output of steel from the Ming Dynasty for half of the annual output of all Russia!

Before the outbreak of the war, the Russian Empire's annual steel production was 509,500 tons, but now it has barely quadrupled to 2 million tons.

This figure is even less than the 6 million tons of the Ming Dynasty, 3 million tons of Germany, and 10 million tons of Britain before the outbreak of the war, which is only on par with the 2 million tons of France.

The Slavs, who do not have the blessing of the five-year plan, are so crotch-pulling, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a large "Great Qing".

But in any case, Russia, or the Eastern Roman Empire, after receiving a large wave of Ottoman legacy, reached a staggering ......

5.7 million square kilometers...... (pictured)

There is no way, the Mercator map makes the area of Russia and Mao too bluffing, and the territory of Russia and Mao in the Arctic region is seriously enlarged.

On the map, it is larger than the Solitude, but it is actually slightly smaller.

Unless he continues to go south to control the Gulf, Iran and other places, but this is something that the Ming will never allow.

Despite the severe shrinkage, there is no doubt that the mass of these 5.7 million square kilometers is much stronger than that of the Tsarist Empire's 19 million square kilometers.

With a population of nearly 180 million, even more than Russia in the 21st century, Russia is a well-deserved superpower.

It's just that, for obvious reasons, it is doubtful that these populations can be converted into national power.

Steel production is the most intuitive measure of a country's national strength in this era, and Russia's 180 million people have produced only 2 million tons of steel.

This time, Zhu Fugui took out 1 million tons of steel in one go, which undoubtedly greatly enhanced Alexander II's confidence in recasting the castle.

'I didn't expect Zhu Fugui to be such a benevolent gentleman, even if I was drunk, he didn't take advantage of the danger of others and instigated me to sign an unequal treaty......

Alexander II couldn't help but recall the scene when Zhu Fugui traveled thousands of miles to save his dog meat friends during the bombing of Constantinople, and couldn't help but be slightly distracted.

After a long time, he sighed: "Zhu Fugui...... Good people! ”

……

If Alexander II had a map of the Caspian oil and gas fields produced by later generations, he would not have made such an exclamation. (pictured)

Where is Zhu Fugui a good person!

He's a bone-sucking demon! It's disgusting Grande! It is a capitalist, a life-changer who is more cunning than the Jews!

Twelve years ago, during the Second War between Ming and France, the Ming Dynasty assisted Mexico in resisting the French invasion.

After the war, the Ming Dynasty cut some barren mountains from the north of Mexico.

In the following ten years, Daming has not touched these barren mountains.

Until two years ago, a group of young students from the School of Geology of Daming Guozijian "accidentally" discovered that these barren mountains are rich in a variety of minerals, and in one of the basins, there are huge reserves of oil fields......

This time, under the land that Zhu Fugui ceded from Tsarist Russia, there is an even more staggering amount of oil and gas buried.

At some point a few years later, there will be a group of Ming students who came to collect wind and discovered them by chance.

And this discovery is bound to shock the whole world.

This is not a small fight like the Mexican oil fields, but a world-class discovery.

The Caspian Basin is the largest depression in the world, with many areas below sea level.

It is also known as the Second Persian Gulf.

But in reality, this statement is not accurate.

The oil industry in the Caspian Sea started earlier than in the Gulf.

Before the discovery of the huge oil in the Persian Gulf Basin, the Caspian Basin was the backbone of the world oil market, and in 1901 the Caspian Sea produced 11 million tons of crude oil, accounting for 50% of the world's total crude oil production at that time.

In 1940, Azerbaijan alone produced 22 million tons of oil, accounting for 71% of the Soviet Union's national production.

And the small horn where Zhu Fugui is leaving, the small Baku, accounts for more than 95% of Azerbaijan's oil production.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan also relied on oil resources and national strength to crush neighboring Armenia little by little, and finally suffered a humiliation in the war, making the latter pay a heavy price.

And these, Zhu Fugui only used 1 million tons of scrap steel to buy enough oil to create a red empire.

Although the Ming Dynasty does not directly control the Middle East, the Ming Dynasty already has the oil resources of the two super-empires of the United States and the Soviet Union.

In addition, the oil reserves of Venezuela in South America, the large oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico and the South Seas......

It can be said that even if the princes of the Middle East still established the OPEC oil alliance in this time and space, even if the Ming Dynasty does not learn from the US imperialists to use force to oppress, and purely uses oil reserves and economic weapons, OPEC will have to look at the face of the Ming Dynasty.
