E: There was a mistake in the previous chapter, the first three guns ordered from Austria-Hungary were wrong, they should be UMO times, 2UMO times, -1omm6 times.

E2 you still have a monthly pass? ()

"The chairman of the CSD, Wen Desi, was "born in the United States" and was educated in the United States, and he is also a good friend of the boss of the "Zenith Star Consortium," an emerging chaebol in the United States, and the relationship between the two sides is extremely close......

This information is no secret among the major powers. In the eyes of all the powers, such a guy is almost a natural pro-American. China has a strong pro-American force, which is not good news for Britain.

For now, however, the CSD has shown no hostility towards Britain, and has entered into a balanced trade deal of 260,000 pounds per year. This agreement began to be piloted in November last year, and 610,000 pounds of bilateral trade was completed in October, and it began to be officially implemented this year, and by the end of November, 2.75 million pounds had been completed, and this year's quota has been completed ahead of schedule.

Moreover, the Socialist Party also threw a carrot, and the 260,000-pound quota could be raised, as long as their territory was big enough. And such a benefit cannot be given by either the Qing court or the big head. You must know that 260,000 pounds is not a small amount, and John Bull's naval budget in 196 was only more than 360,000 pounds. Although this was a balancing trade, the British government had millions of pounds of revenue even if it was just collecting taxes, not to mention the profits from the trade.

Therefore, Niu Niu's feelings for the Science and Technology Socialist Party are very entangled, on the one hand, he is worried that they are too pro-US and affect Niu Niu's interests in China. On the other hand, this is a big customer that cannot be lost lightly. If the CSD is turned into an enemy, the trade agreement is nullified, and there are so many interests involved that it is difficult to settle even with each other, well, this 260,000 pound cake has the shares of the royal family and various big nobles, and if it is messed up, no one will dare to bear the anger of these nobles.

And that's just for economic reasons. And the most important thing is the strong fighting power of the government of the Socialist Party. On the basis of information obtained from various sources, Britain reluctantly came to the conclusion that the CSO army was a modern army no less than that of the European powers, and even better than the equipment. For example, their unique air force, the 6th Army, is also not good, and is actually equipped with a large number of light machine guns and a light artillery that can move with the infantry. What worries them even more is the strong organization and high morale of this army.

This army, formerly known as the "Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army" and now renamed the "Chinese People's Liberation Army," has reached 14 divisions and 7 mixed brigades according to the announced numbers and structures, with a total number of more than 4o people, and is still expanding. And that's not even counting their much larger paramilitary forces, such as the Armed Police, the Reserve, and the National Guard.

Such a pivotal force is placed next to India and Myanmar. If they really turn their faces, they don't have to worry about it at sea, Niu Niu still has some self-confidence, but what should they do on the ground? Britain was already a little exhausted in the Boer War a few years ago, and at the same time, it also showed the weakness of their Sixth Army to the fullest, and became the laughing stock of the great powers. Moreover, now that the situation in Europe is becoming increasingly tense, it is unrealistic to draw a large number of troops from the mainland, and with the poor combat effectiveness of the British 6th Army, if there is no numerical advantage, I am afraid it will be difficult to win this open army called the "Chinese People's Liberation Army".

Do you rely on those Ah San to resist these wolf-like pL British, and they don't believe it.

For John Bull, India, the "jewel in the crown", is a must-have. Compared to India's importance, China's little interest is nothing. In fact, in this era, the expansion of the British has reached the limit, they have been exhausted, and they can no longer afford to expand their territory, and they are now more concerned about economic interests. And cooperating with the CSD will not only not lose economic interests, but will make a lot of profits. After such calculations, Britain naturally knows what to do, their diplomatic skills are very flexible, and they have been a-stirring stick for thousands of years, and they have a lot of experience in this area.

After a few days of negotiations, Niu Niu accepted the reality. Their conditions, given that between the United States and Germany, Britain expressed the renunciation of all concessions in the southwestern government area, renunciating all privileges. As for the navigation rights of the Yangtze River, warships will no longer enter the area ruled by the southwest government, and the original merchant shipping companies can continue to operate as usual, but ensure that they abide by the relevant laws and regulations of the southwest government. The Hong Kong Concession retains Hong Kong Island and the South Kowloon Peninsula, and returns to the New Territories and other areas leased after 1895 (i.e., restored to the pre-1895 form). As for the leased land outside the southwest government area, it can be handed over after the southwest government expands there, and the Weihaiwei leased land will be temporarily retained.

They are willing to waive two-thirds of the Gengzi indemnity. Now John Bull is busy competing with Erdezi to make dumplings, and the economy is actually not too rich, but they don't want the CSD to fall too far to the United States and Germany, so they are willing to bleed.

However, they were the only ones who refused to budge on the establishment of diplomatic relations at the ministerial level, and they were only willing to set up a "special consul general" in Neijiang to act as "minister envoys." Well, the Socialist Party understands it, and Wen Desi knows very well that Niu Niu's virtue is the most arrogant, and he always has to take a stand on some minor issues.

On the issue of tariffs, they also expressed their willingness to return them, but they suggested that the CSD lacked tariff talents and wanted to retain their men as advisers. This request was rejected by the CSD without hesitation.

Wen Desi said: We have a lot of excellent customs talents, so many that they can help British friends to take care of customs. At first, the British thought that Wen Desi was a swollen face and a fat man, so they offered to see if these people were qualified. Unexpectedly, after a try, the British were directly dumbfounded, and the customs officers of the Socialist Party were more familiar with the operation of the customs and the relevant legal provisions than them, and found out dozens of mistakes and irrationalities in the work of the British customs officers, which made the cattle blushing and speechless, and finally had to ignore the matter of "retaining consultants" and obediently handle the handover.

The next is the deal of airship-related technology, which was sold for 3o pounds after several negotiations, and Wen Deji was originally going to let the British exchange a few old battleships, cruisers and destroyers, but Niu Niu was arrogant at this time. They claimed that they wanted to remain neutral and not provide weapons to the warring parties until the political situation in China was stable. This is also understandable, Niu Niu has always supported Yuan Datou, and of course it is not easy to sell weapons to the CSD. The CSD did not insist on it, but instead demanded that Britain use merchant ships, aircraft, oil, ore, and other physical deductions, and Britain accepted it when it saw that there were no weapons on the list.

The United Kingdom requires that the trade quota between the two sides should not be less than 260,000 pounds next year, and the two sides will negotiate the quota for the next year at the end of each year. This Wen Deji completely agrees, there are a lot of good things in the Niuniu Colony, and 260,000 is not enough.

On November 17, 196, the "Sino-Southwest) British New Testament" was signed, and then the two sides made a joint announcement.

Next is France, at this time the Gallic chicken in East Asia is completely supported by cattle and cows, this waste wood chicken can not even beat the Qing Dynasty, naturally has no confidence and more powerful than the Qing court of the Socialist Party. Moreover, there is also the British and the-stirring stick in it, and the French originally wanted to keep the Canton Bay lease, but they did not support the French at all in this regard. It's easy to understand that Britain can't eat it itself, and it doesn't want France to eat it.

Originally, these French wanted to hold on a little longer, but after watching the 6th Army exercise of the CSO, their attitude was much better. At this time, the French regular army in the Indochina Peninsula was less than 66 people, and in Guangzhou Bay less than 6o, if they turned their faces, it would be a matter of days if they were pushed down. Therefore, after squirming and twisting for a while, they expressed their willingness to return all French concessions and leased land in the territory of the CSO, as the United States did, and to give up a single privilege.

Gengzi's indemnity looked at Niu Niu and gave up two-thirds. Balanced trade, they asked for 1.56 million pounds, and there were many colonies of roosters, which was completely enough to eat.

The airship-related technology was also sold to him for 3o million pounds, and the delivery of this money was the same as that of Britain and Germany, and France refused to supply weapons to the CSD at first, but their position was obviously not so resolute, and after a few days of talks, they relented. They only agreed to sell naval weapons such as warships, and not to sell weapons of the 6th Army.

In fact, this is completely redundant, for Wen Desi, except for a "Miss 75" in the weapons of the French 6th Army at this time, there is really nothing to look at. And the system is not compatible, even if the roosters are willing to sell, Mr. Wen still refuses to buy it. However, warships can be considered, and France made great strides on the evil road of the "green water navy" a few years ago and built a large number of cruisers. In the past few years, he has finally reacted and returned to the right path of giant ship cannons, but the big ticket cruiser built before was smashed in his hands and took up a lot of money.

The Gallic chickens are now regretting their previous second-hand behavior, and they wish that the next family would take over and help them digest some second-hand cruisers, so as to free up funds to build battleships. However, those second-hand cruisers in France are outdated, and Wen Desi doesn't plan to buy too much, so he can buy a few to train rookies and support the scene.

The two sides thus finalized an order for a second-hand armored cruiser and a second-hand light cruiser for 2o million pounds. As for the part of the shortfall, it will be deducted with various kinds of goods such as merchant ships, machinery, production lines, raw materials, and agricultural products.

As a result, on November 196, the "Central (Southwest) New Testament of Law was signed.

Then there was Russia and Japan, the Entente, and when they saw that Britain and France had signed it, they naturally ignored it.

The Russian woolly bear agreed very happily to other terms, but for the reduction and exemption of reparations, not an inch is allowed to be reduced, and no one can afford to be less Russia is now poor and crazy, and they account for 2 of the total number of Gengzi indemnities. Of course, 97 can't let such a large sum of money.

Later, seeing that the two sides could not reach an agreement, Britain and France intervened. According to the British and French ideas: Lao Tzu is bleeding, you still can't think of it, how can this be? What is the unanimity of the powers, when bleeding together is the unanimity of the powers, John Bull is the big brother of the world, and the Gallic chicken is the biggest creditor of the woolly bear, and the Russian bear of these two faces does not dare to ignore it. As a result, under the "persuasion" of Niu Niu and the rooster, the Russian old Maozi reluctantly agreed to reduce the reduction by one-third

However, they also demanded that the balanced trade with the south-west government be increased from 3o million pounds last year to 1.6 million pounds. The CSD has no opinion on this, and Mao Xiong has a lot of good things at home.

Japan is the most, and they don't want to agree to these conditions except for the first one. But cows, roosters, and hairy bears can't tolerate this guy messing around. After the three countries tried to "persuade with good intentions," Japan had no choice but to give in, reluctantly reduced half of the reparations, and gave up all concessions and unequal privileges.

Of course, as compensation, they also demanded that the balanced trade be increased to 8o million pounds, but the CSD disagreed, because Japan, a poor sling, had nothing to produce, so what could it do to make up for the share of 8 million pounds? Japan was helpless about this, and finally the two sides signed a vague clause on the trade quota, "The two sides should try their best to complete the balanced trade share of 8o million pounds."

On February 2 and 196, the Autonomous Government of Southwest China revised treaties with Russia and Japan, respectively. Of course, they also want airship technology, and the price of Mr. Wen is -60,000 pounds, and he said that he does not need to pay in cash, and he can deduct it in kind. Mr. Wen said very kindly, what to exchange for, we will talk about it later, and we will definitely not let you suffer. The same is true for Japan, don't worry about money, as long as you agree, you can still make up a share of 8o million pounds a year.

Finally, there are Italy, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Sweden and Norway. Italy had no interests in China, and there was only one concession in Tianjin, and the Gengzi indemnity only accounted for 9. Under the persuasion of Deao, he was very happy to revise the contract and exempted half of the indemnity. Italy also offered to buy airship technology, and the CSD also offered a price of 3o million pounds, and the payment method was the same as in other countries, merchant ships, aircraft, production lines, raw materials, agricultural products.

Although Italy is a relatively funny country, it was called "It's Dumb" by everyone in later generations, but at this time, their naval ships were still very good, and some things were okay. Moreover, the Italians had a very low temperament, they preferred to sell the built ships for money first, and their own navy was put to the back for equipment, and after the CSOC put forward the intention to buy it, the two sides hit it off.

However, even if the new ships are built, Italy's industrial base is still a little worse, and the people in this country are too lazy, and their shipbuilding is not as good as that of Austria-Hungary. If you want to find them to order a new ship, then you don't know the year of the monkey. Wendeji bought them a second-hand armored cruiser, the famous Garibaldi class.

Belgium and these countries are basically playing soy sauce, and Brother Niu glared at the bull's eye: Lao Tzu, who is the eldest brother, has signed it, and you little brothers also have to sign these soy sauces, and the public dare not disobey, so they will sign obediently. ("Yes, this is called the unanimity of the powers" Niu Niu looked at the blue-faced and black-faced powers, and said with relief.) ）

By February 15, the government of southwest China had completed the revision of treaties with other countries, formally regained tariff autonomy, and recovered all concessions and leases in its jurisdiction except for the leased land on Hong Kong Island, and abolished all unequal treaties and foreign privileges.

When the CSD officially announced the announcement, all forces were stunned, the people of the whole country were ecstatic, and many people were so excited that they wept bitterly. The prestige of the Bunde-heir and the CSD rose to an unprecedented height.
