E: I asked for tickets at the beginning of the month, please support me......

"Chinese want the Pacific Colonies, it's a big place......" Wilhelm II frowned.

Tirpitz said: "Your Majesty, although these areas are not small, the land is barren, the living conditions are harsh, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate, except for providing us with some native products, which are of little use to the empire. Moreover, the Pacific colonies were isolated from home, surrounded by Australia and Japan, and if we went to war with the Allies, they would not be able to be preserved. ”

He looked at Wilhelm II and continued: "It is very cost-effective to use these territories to pull China over. Even if China remains neutral, our chances of victory will be greatly improved if we provide our empire with supply lines from Asia and Europe on their terms......"

"Well, you have a point. The Pacific colonies are really of little use...... "Wilhelm II pondered for a moment and said, "As long as we defeat the Entente, what colonies do we want?"

As he spoke, he began to dance excitedly, and shouted nervously: "These guys in England and France are too fast, and they have taken over all the good places on earth." Even tiny Belgium can occupy large colonies. And we, Germany, can only pick up a little bit of the leftovers they left behind, it's not fair, the German Empire needs land in the sun, we have the right, and we must acquire more and better colonies."

Tirpitz knew his temper and did not try to persuade him, so he waited quietly and let him soar.

After a moment of nervousness, Wilhelm II calmed down and said to Tirpitz: "Alfred, I agreed in principle to the request of the Chinese. You go and talk to them, our offer is 200 million marks, it's better to let them exchange submarines and airplanes. The submarines they provide are relatively difficult to produce, and they need to occupy a lot of manpower and material resources, and we now have to make battleships with all our might, and there are very few that can be used to build submarines. But this thing is really easy to use, so let Chinese make it for us, and they designed it anyway......"

Although Wei Er's guy is a little neurotic and often has a big brain, sometimes he will also come up with some reliable whimsical ideas, such as this time.

Tirpitz was overjoyed: "Your Majesty is clever enough to build things like torpedo boats, submarines, and even destroyers ⊥Chinese help us." ”

The German Pacific colonies were mainly composed of the following parts.

The largest is German New Guinea: it consists mainly of the "Kaiser Wilhelm's Domain" (1,866 square kilometers) and the Bismarck Islands (497oo square kilometers) in the northern half of the island. The largest of the Bismarck archipelago are New Pomerania (3,144 square kilometres) and New McCranburg (36 sq kilometres).

With the exception of Western Samoa (234 square kilometres), the other German-owned islands in the Pacific Ocean are also administered by German New Guinea. For example, the German Solomon Islands, i.e. Buca Island (3 square kilometers) and Buyuville Island (-18 square kilometers); Caroline Islands, including the later Federated States of Micronesia square kilometers), Palau 6 square kilometers); Northern Mariana Islands sq km), Marshall Islands (181 sq km) and Nauru 1 sq km).

The total area of the entire German Pacific colony is about 5,918 square kilometers, and the population on it is less than 60,000, most of whom are indigenous, at least half of whom are cannibals......

This area is known as a "green desert", with only trees and no crops, and until the 21st century, there were only 2o people, with an average of less than 9 people per square kilometer.

Students who have played the P Club game "Victoria" must know that the survival index of the colony of Erdezi is extremely low, probably only better than the Antarctic and the North Pole, and it takes a lot of time to colonize, which is a rare rotten land in the world. This is also a helpless thing, who let Germany rise too late, and when they have the ability to go out and grab territory, the good land in the world has long been occupied by other powers, and they can only pick up this kind of rotten land that no one wants.

The cost of opening here is too high, and all kinds of tropical diseases are rampant, and forcing it to open it is completely worth the cost. At first, the Germans were also preparing to drive, and for the first time they sent more than 36 people to the island, but after two years, only more than 8o people ran back in disgrace, and this loss rate scared the Germans.

And apart from some animal and plant specialties, there is no use of any income here. So Erdezi didn't care much about this land, so he put it there as a decoration. In addition, in this era, the islands were not paid much attention, and the mineral resources in them were not present, so for Germany, this unprofitable territory was a chicken rib.

The most important thing is that this chicken rib is still surrounded by the Anglo-Japanese alliance, and Germany has less than 6o troops on the island of New Guinea, and if a war breaks out, it will not be able to hold it in any way. Rather than that, it's better to exchange it for something you need.

So under this idea, it is in agreement with China, and since the Chinese are willing to want this kind of rotten land, then it is good to give them well. After some negotiation and bargaining, the Sino-German Hamburg Treaty was reached. China bought all the German Pacific colonies for 160 million marks. This money is used as payment for China, and China promises to deliver 3 H-boats, 3 P1OO torpedo boats, and a mine-strike destroyer (Mogaidaofeng class) to Germany within 2 years

Of course, what was announced to the public was only spending money to buy land, and only the high-level officials of both sides knew the use of this money.

When Cavour was in Germany to conquer the Pacific colonies, his deputy 6 Zhengxiang also achieved great results in Wuhan.

"Mr. Wen, the Americans have agreed in principle to our purchase request......" That afternoon, after several days of negotiations, 6 Zhengxiang hurried to the presidential palace to report the good news.

"Oh, did the Americans really agree?" Even Wen Deji was a little surprised by the Americans' reaction.

"Yes, Mr. Wen, they agreed to trade with us for the sovereignty of the Philippines ......" 6 Zhengxiang's excited voice trembled.

These few months are probably the happiest time of his life, when he has just taken back a large amount of lost land from Britain and Russia, and has deducted more than 4o square kilometers of land from the mouth of a cow. This is equivalent to 2 Hunan provinces. When the treaty between China and Britain and Russia was officially signed, 6 Zhengxiang and the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were drunk, crying and laughing, singing and dancing crazy all night.

It didn't last long, and now good things are coming again. If there is no accident this time, there will be another 30,000 square kilometers of land to start, and there are two Shandong provinces.

Wen Desi laughed: "Hahaha, it seems that I still overestimate the discipline of the capitalists." Sure enough, as long as there is enough profit, they can sell anything

In fact, this time he talked to the Yankees about buying the Philippines, and Wen Deji also had an attitude of trying it out. At first, he simply wanted to find the Americans to lease a piece of land, such as Palawan or Mindanao, as a supply port in the South China Sea. He asked the Zenith Consortium to come forward and go to the U.S. government to find out. Unexpectedly, half a month later, Banazal came back with an unexpected good news.

Banazal and Lando jointly wrote back a letter of construction and came to this judgment: "If the conditions are right, the United States may ...... the Philippines"

Because the Philippines at this time has not yet reflected much value, except for jaggery, timber and some ores, there is no strong production, but needs to invest a lot of "stability maintenance fees" every year. You must know that the means used by the United States to obtain the Philippines back then were not glorious, and when they fought against Spain, they used the pretext of "helping the Philippines become independent" to attract Philippine rebels to help. When the Spanish were defeated, they did not admit it, but instead sold the rebels, declaring them bandits and wanted for them. As a result, the Filipinos were quite resistant to American rule, and various resistance movements were surging up until 19o3

Even more unfortunate is that the resistance, which had just been subdued for a few years, seems to have reconnected with the Anglo-Japanese alliance. From 19o9 onwards, these guys started to make noise again. Moreover, this time the guerrillas seem to be professionally trained, and they use all kinds of insidious and despicable tactics to make the local American troops scorched. Last year alone, more than 3o Americans were killed, and the economic loss was more than 660,000 US dollars, which made the Yankees very depressed.

Because of its geographical location, the Philippines is too far away from the United States, separated by an entire Pacific Ocean, and the United States will have to pay a huge cost to maintain its rule here. But it is very close to Japan, and if the two countries turn their faces, it will be strange that the Philippines can keep it.

Therefore, the American capitalists at this time were very hesitant to invest in the Philippines, and the residents here were not friendly, so they were likely to lose all their money if they invested in it

Moreover, the president of the United States at this time was Taft, and this guy was a typical spokesperson for a consortium that defended the interests of a monopoly consortium. At this point in time, their attention is in the Caribbean and Central America, President Taft is engaged in gold dollar diplomacy, the Caribbean and Central and South America are those oily and watery territories are what he cares about, and the poor places like the Philippines are not in his eyes at all.

And the United States is now in urgent need of supporting its younger brother, and if the Philippines is exchanged for China's support, it will be a cost-effective thing. Besides, if the Philippines is handed over to China, it will put China on the front line against Japan, which is a very profitable thing no matter how you look at it.

Of course, the most important reason is that the United States has been in the hands of the Philippines for more than ten years, its rule is still unstable, and it has invested a lot of money but has no hope of recovering its capital.

Therefore, the U.S. branch believes that the chances of success are the greatest when it comes to negotiating a sovereignty deal for the Philippines, and there is a chance now. If the strategic significance of the region begins to emerge at the start of World War I, the United States will increase its investment in the region, and its rule will begin to stabilize. At that time, they will not give up.

So Wen Desi had an attitude of trying, sent 6 Zhengxiang to talk, and at the same time asked Zenith Star and several other vest companies to create public opinion in the United States. As a result, the Yankees really agreed.

After beating away 6 Zhengxiang, Wen Desi called Wang Qi, Minister of National Security.

He said lightly: "Before we officially take over the Philippines, the humanitarian relief materials over there cannot be stopped......

Wang Qi smiled: "Mr. Wen, please rest assured." At present, several rebel armies are in our hands, and the Americans have always thought that Britain and Japan are behind them......"
