Chapter 115

"Dashuai, do you mean ...... that tiny Israel will hinder the interests of Daming in Europe?"

Ai Husheng was a little unconvinced that a country that had just been established on Russian territory could actually affect the interests of the Ming Empire in Europe.

"Israel looks like a small country that has just been established, but in fact it is the result of thousands of years of the Hebrew nation.

Behind every government, there is a shadow government. Some people with very strong energy are able to influence the policy of a country.

Europe has it, and we have it too!

In Europe, the most powerful influence on government policy is actually the rich Hebrew consortium.

Europe is a little different from us, it is a commercial society. It's all about money!

Even Napoleon and Frederick had to rely on the Hebrew consortium in many places.

Not to mention, the UK, which has a much stronger business atmosphere. In the Middle Ages in Europe, kings had to ask for the consent of a consortium before they wanted to go to war.

Because they have to borrow from the consortium!

In the last European war, we made a lot of money. But in reality, the Hebrew consortium made more money.

And this war against Russia!

Now I know that we are selling war bonds in Europe. We were not the largest buyer, and almost all of the bonds we issued were bought by a consortium of Hebrews.

That is, now the Hebrew consortium is the largest creditor of France and Prussia.

Now you appear to be a jumping Israel, but in reality. Behind them is a vast and wealthy Hebrew consortium.

Moreover, the Hebrew nation has been oppressed for thousands of years.

Every Hebrew wanted a country of their own, and in fact the land they wanted most was the old land of the State of Israel, Palestine.

But they can't go back to Palestine now, because that's our sphere of influence. That is, even if we had not agitated Austria-Hungary this time, they would have hated us.

Because we are the biggest obstacle preventing them from returning to their homeland and establishing a state.

Now you understand why I am preparing for war in a few years' time.

As Israel grew, they would definitely want to return to their homeland, because that was the dream of every Hebrew man.

But only by defeating us can they take back Palestine, their holy place, Jerusalem. ”

No one understands better than Li Xiao the destruction of this world by the Hebrew consortium.

This is a group of pure profit animals, in order to make money they don't care about all the public courtesy, justice and morality.

More importantly, they have no concept of a state. They have no loyalty to each country, they can only speak of control.

This is the biggest difference between Li Xiao and them!

No matter how cruel, ferocious, and even anti-human, but the Ming court headed by Li Xiao. still put the interests of the Ming court and the Ming Empire first.

But these Hebrews are ruthless, and they are even pitting their own people.

Li Xiao can't do this no matter what.

Of course, those who deal with those selfish national scum. For the sake of his own selfish desires, he does not hesitate to harm the people of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xiao will never be soft.

Li Xiao said something, and Ai Husheng stopped talking.

He controls the household department in his hands, which is the money bag of the Ming Empire. At the same time, it was also the department that had the most dealings with the Hebrews.

What Li Xiao said, Ai Husheng felt the deepest.

"Now that the commander has decided, we have to think about the transition now.

The imperial court will not approve new big projects.

Our current major projects, in addition to the railway from Guanzhong to Chengdu, will be completed in several books.

The new battleship that needs to be built by the second master was originally not approved by the imperial court. But now it seems that we can use the money for the construction of the Sichuan Railway to the battleships. ”

Zhang Huangyan's reaction was particularly fast, and he immediately thought of how to implement Li Xiao's words. Fortunately, the State of Israel is weak enough now, and it is estimated that it will take at least five years to challenge the powerful Ming Empire.

If those Hebrews had been resilient and forbearing, they might have dragged on for ten years.

"On the second side, how many battleships are going to be built?" Li Xiao knows that with the advancement of technology. The cost of building an ironclad ship, that is an exponential increase.

Especially the battleship, which is an extremely anti-human thing, the latest Shanzi-class battleship, the caliber of the main gun has reached 480 mm.

It is estimated that with Li Xiu's temper, it is likely that the caliber of the main guns of this batch of battleships will exceed 500 millimeters.

Artillery is like this, constantly increasing the caliber, and in the end it feels insufficient.

In particular, the battleship can be described as the ultimate in the development of human ships and artillery.

At present, the Ming Navy is already dominating all the seas. The world's navies have calculated that only the North American territory has a dozen destroyer-class ironclad ships.

The old maritime empire, the British Empire, has been completely crippled. There are only five ironclad ships, and they are still extremely old and coal-burning.

The caliber of the main gun is only a meagre 150 mm. This is in Europe, already the presence of the top navy.

Because it is an ally with the Ming Dynasty, the French Navy still has some advantages. The two face-saving ironclad ships are old ships of the Ming Dynasty that they bought.

The tonnage is only more than 5,000 tons, and if it is hit by the main gun of Kunlun Mountain, it is estimated that one cannon will have to be sent to the bottom of the sea.

The Prussian Navy, which can be called primitive! Warships are still stuck in the era of wooden sail warships!

Recently, negotiations are underway with Daming to order two new warships. However, it was also of the destroyer class that was ordered.

Looking at the sea, the only thing that can pose a sufficient threat to the Ming Navy may be mines.

"Four! However, the second master said that if there is no money, three ships will be completed! Ai Husheng whispered.

"Three ......!" Li Xiao thought for a while and then said two words: "Refuted!" ”

"What?" Ai Husheng looked at Li Xiao strangely, obviously he had just said that he was going to prepare for war. But ......, the fold of building a warship was actually refuted.

These words, looking at the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that only Li Xiao dares to say it.

"All the folds of the battleships have been refuted. Tell the second child that the imperial court can only approve the money for the construction of three destroyers.

In five years, there will be no new warships launched in the Navy. Li Xiao said coldly.

"This ......!" Ai Husheng glanced at Zhang Huangyan, he didn't dare to say this to Li Xiu.

"Dashuai, if you ...... like this, I'm afraid that the second master will ...... there." Zhang Huangyan was also a little surprised, but he didn't expect Li Xiao to refute the excerpt.

Moreover, only three destroyers can be launched in the future. How can this Li Xiu be capable, he will definitely go crazy.

"Let him ask me a question." Li Xiao's words made Ai Husheng breathe a sigh of relief.

If he said this to Li Xiu, he might be beaten. And he is the younger brother of the handsome, even if he beats himself, he will be beaten in vain.

"No!"

"Plus! Send a telegram to Sun Yuanhua in Xinjiapo, starting today. All foreign vessels, strictly enter the South China Sea.

All foreign vessels attempting to enter the South China Sea should be sunk immediately without asking.

At the same time, ships that can enter the South China Sea are not allowed to carry any foreigners.

Orders were issued to governors in various places, especially Liangguang and Yizhou, Fujian. All foreigners must be expelled and ordered to leave Daming within one month.

Moreover, it is not allowed to reside in Cochin and Southeast Asia.

Order the Liaodong Naval Division to blockade the Bohai Bay. All foreign vessels, including Korean and Japanese vessels.

In addition, the entire Northeast.

Note!

I'm talking about the entire Northeast, not the entire Liaodong.

All foreigners, including those from the Wa Kingdom, Korea, Mongolia, and Ming vassal states, were to leave the country within one month.

A month later, all the foreigners stranded in the Northeast were executed! No negotiation is allowed, you know? ”

"Uh......! This......! Ai Husheng and Zhang Huangyan looked at each other again, this ban was a bit too cruel.

According to the existing imperial decree, Western ships are not allowed to enter the South China Sea. This is the norm, and Western ships are used to delivering goods in Xinjiapo.

But these goods also need to be inspected by merchants.

All foreigners are not allowed to enter the South China Sea, which ...... What else to do when buying and selling?

In addition, the entire Tohoku is not allowed to live in the whole of Tohoku, including the Joseon and Wa kingdoms, which are vassals of the Ming Dynasty.

This is even more impersonal, such as Yanbian, which is close to North Korea, where North Koreans traditionally live.

It can be divided according to the border, and it can be regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

If those North Koreans don't leave, can they all be killed? That's tens of thousands!

"Dashuai, you are ......!" Zhang Huangyan knew that Ai Husheng had turned into a quail and didn't dare to speak, so he could only ask this.

"I don't trust all foreigners, if I don't need a reason. Is the need for secrecy before the war enough? ”

"Uh......! Promise. "Li Xiao's reasons are extremely powerful, and no one dares to speak, including Zhang Huangyan.

"Domestic manufacturers can go to Xinjiapo to set up shops. Take some samples and order whatever you want. It's just a matter of sending a telegram back!

It's just that there are tens of thousands of North Koreans ...... Yanbian! Ai Husheng looked at Li Xiao with some embarrassment, his father-in-law has many shops in Yanbian.

If you follow Li Xiao's words, then the loss will be great.

"I said, the order is limited to one month, otherwise there will be no forgiveness. Moreover, in the future, all foreigners, including those who were subject to the Ming Dynasty, were not allowed to set foot in the northeast.

As long as the local government finds out, there will be no mercy! If there is a person who bends the law for personal gain, Ling Chi! ”

Ai Husheng's face changed immediately!

Even Ling Chi's capital punishment has been used, and there is definitely no room for turning this matter around. I'm afraid I can only sell the store to the Ming people!

What happened to the Northeast? Why drive all foreigners, even the Koreans, who are docile as sheep, expel them?

Li Xiao didn't say it, and Ai Husheng didn't dare to ask.

The two of them left Li Xiao's office with doubts in their hearts.

As they walked out of the office, they saw Green Beads.

This girl is not something that anyone can afford to mess with, and the two of them nodded hurriedly and left as if they had seen a ghost.

For three whole days, there was no one in Li Xiao's office. During this period, Li Xiao just took a nap on the sofa in the office for a few hours.

By the fourth day, Li Xiao was already wearing thick dark circles under his eyes.

Ao Ye walked in, saw Li Xiao like this, and pulled Li Xiao away without saying a word.

"What! There's still a lot to do. Li Xiao struggled to break free from Ao Ye's clutches.

"Things have to be done, but you can't do them in such a hurry. You look in the mirror and see what you look like.

If you fall, what will happen to Daming?

How many people will remember your location? Can Li Lin hold up this stall you left behind?

If you fall, it will be the biggest disaster in the Ming Kingdom. If you don't get it right, it's a series of civil wars.

Under the big war, your life's hard work will be in vain.

Now listen to me and go back to sleep. If you have something, you can do it when you wake up. The Ming Empire is so big, you are all supported by yourself, and it is not easy for you to use Nezha with three heads and six arms. ”

Ao Ye couldn't help but say, and pulled Li Xiao and walked back.

Li Xiao had no choice but to follow Ao Ye back to the back house. Although there are a lot of things in my head, as soon as my head touches the pillow, sleepiness comes over me like a tide.

Within two minutes, the sound of snoring sounded in Li Xiao's bedroom.

"Ao Ye! If you put drowsiness medicine in your tea, you'd better find someone else in the future. If I let the marshal know, my ancestral grave will be dug up. ”

Seeing that Li Xiao was asleep, Shunzi trembled and wanted to beg for mercy in Ao Canghai.

"Silly boy!

Do you think it's my idea alone? Look at the room over there, Zhang Huangyan, Li Hao, Li Lin, and Man Ye are all there.

There are so many people in it, and you're still afraid of a ball. ”

Although Ao Ye said well, Junzi still felt cold on his neck.

"Dashuai has always been steady, and it can be said that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged. Why did it become so panicked when it came to Israel's turn? ”

Zhang Huangyan stroked his beard, and he saw what Li Xiao had done these days. He thought it was very strange that such a small country that had just been established and was still at war could really be so powerful.

Daming has today's achievements, and it has taken almost fifteen years. Could it be that within five years, Israel's national strength will be able to challenge the Ming Dynasty?

Everything made Zhang Huangyan very incomprehensible.

"There is nothing incomprehensible, the words of the marshal have never been missed, we will just do what the marshal commands.

You are a showman, what are you wondering about! Ao Ye walked in and happened to hear Zhang Huangyan's words.

Zhang Huangyan was annoyed, but he couldn't do anything about this military leader. The real talent meets the soldier, and it is unreasonable to say.

"Dashuai slept?" Man Ye didn't look at Zhang Huangyan, and asked Ao Ye while smoking.

"Sleep! Madame is serving. ”

"Then I'm leaving, I still have an errand to do." Man Ye stood up, patted Li Hao on the shoulder, and then walked out.

"My eldest brother is a little abnormal!" Li Hao was also a little strange, he didn't think that any bird Israel would be qualified to fight with Daming.

"This matter is still top secret. Tell you, and it shouldn't. Now that you know, don't go out and talk nonsense.

Li Lin, you are the same, do you know? Ao Ye looked at Li Lin, he was very afraid that the child would tell this high-level secret.
