Chapter 110: The Road to Debt Collection
He Xuan turned over Britain and asked the British government to honestly admit that the matter of compensating 50 million taels of silver happened in Europe. And Europe is too far away from Asia, and it will take too long for the news to get back.
However, all the countries next to the UK, which can be close, received the message.
Next to the UK, there are naturally Italy, Germany, France, Spain and other countries.
At the beginning, they heard that He Xuan had gone to England and made a big fuss. They naturally feel ridiculous. The barbarians in the east also want to challenge them, it is simply death! With the strength of Britain, the world's most powerful country and the empire on which the sun never sets, with a million armor, no matter how powerful He Xuan is, he will suffer under their attack.
What happened to the result......
Britain, actually admit it!
That's terrifying.
The sun never sets on the empire, for so many years, in all countries, fighting in the east and the west, fighting in the south and the north, sweeping everything.
The sun never sets on the empire, and occasionally in the big countries such as France and Germany, it suffers some small losses.
In other respects, the empire of the sun never sets is still swept sideways and feared.
Now, even the empire on which the sun never sets has been recognized!
This Chinese emperor is simply terrifying.
Of course, they also quickly inquired about He Xuan's method of dealing with the British government. They couldn't help but be stunned, they could still play like this, the assassination ability of the Chinese emperor was too high.
And several other countries of the Eight-Nation Coalition have a headache.
He Xuan is here to collect debts, and the British have dealt with their Taiping army and owe them.
Then, the other seven countries can deal with the Taiping army in the same way.
He won't ...... Let's continue to move on to other countries.
In their attention, He Xuan set foot in Austria.
......
Austria, at this time called the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
This country, in the twenty-first century, not many people know.
However, it is a true traditional European power. Of course, at the time of the First World War it collapsed, hit the streets, and split into a whole bunch of small countries. Although Austria is still one of the eight great powers in Europe, it has been in decline.
He Xuan went in directly with a big stab, and did not hide his whereabouts.
So, as soon as I entered, I was approached by a knight from Austria, an old man in his fifties, who was holding a cane: "My name is Sir Capri." See Emperor of China, Lord of the Taiping Army. ”
"Oh. Did you find me?" He Xuan smiled: "You Austrians, the benefits in our China are relatively less, and it is estimated that you have made more than 10 million yuan." Well, you will pay us twenty million pieces of silver, and that's about it. ”
Sir Capri's face suddenly became quite ugly, twenty million taels of silver, which is a huge amount of money: "The emperor of China, the firearms of our Austrian country are very fierce. Please also ask the Chinese Emperor to think twice. ”
"Your firearms are ferocious, and I guess they are as fierce as the British. You are a country that is going downhill and is about to be finished. Britain is the best in the world. He Xuan smiled sarcastically.
Sir Capri's face couldn't help but change, and finally he said helplessly: "It's impossible for us, the king, to agree. ”
"That's okay, I'll use my sword to get him to agree. ”
Sir Capri could not get along, and could only retreat.
Sure enough, as he expected. The king of Austria absolutely disagrees, and the king of such a declining country cannot see the situation clearly and is arrogant. But in the end, He Xuan still played the same game as in the United Kingdom, assassinating a large number of high-level Austrian officials, and these corrupt Austrian high-level officials were directly frightened and weak, honestly admitted, and handed over 20 million taels of silver.
Of course, their surrender was to honestly send soldiers to transport silver to China.
He Xuanke couldn't afford to bring so much silver.
Next, it's Italy, Spain. These countries have seen the lessons of Britain and Austria, and they have thought that even the extremely powerful Britain has recognized it. They also need to admit it.
Therefore, they basically didn't think about resisting, but they repeatedly grinded with He Xuan for a period of time on the issue of how much to lose. But unfortunately, He Xuan didn't want to grind with them at all, and insisted that the price would not relax.
In the end, Italy and Spain still honestly admitted it, and each of the two countries lost 20 million taels.
By now, the four countries have bitten down, and it will be 110 million taels of silver!
You tear the flesh from my hands, and I will tear it back.
In this way, after the negotiation, He Xuan went directly to Germany.
......
Germany is a pretty powerful country.
If we say that Britain is now the world's largest power. However, Britain is definitely not the number one army power, it is stronger than the navy and overseas colonies. It was really pure intimidation of the army, and Britain was only afraid that it would be Germany's opponent.
Germany, for a long time, has occupied the title of the first army power in the European continent.
For example, Britain's current total strength is only about 1.1 million, with a navy of hundreds of thousands. Land and sea are equally important.
But Germany did not, and in 1873, the House of Representatives passed a bill to use 166846810 lei (1 lei is equivalent to 1 tael of Chinese silver) as the cost of rearmament.
At that time, there were about 430,000 officers and men in the standing army, and there were more than 3.2 million reserve troops and reserve troops, totaling more than 3.2 million people, and the first mobilization for the war could reach 1.316 million people.
Thanks to the efforts of the German Government, its army system is relatively tight, its equipment is relatively sophisticated, its officers and men are well trained, and it has always maintained a relatively strong combat effectiveness.
At that time, people called the German Army the first in the world, and many countries imitated the German army system when engaged in military modernization, purchased German-made guns, and hired a large number of German army officers as their military advisers.
Moreover, Germany is a fairly confident country.
They think they are the best in the world.
In the First World War and the Second World War, Germany was a developer and wanted to challenge the whole world with its own strength. Elsewhere, Britain's prestige was not below that of Germany.
But in Europe, Britain and Germany are called together!
Italy, a country like Spain, honestly admitted, is expected.
Britain and Germany, as they claimed, confessed and lost money.
Whether Germany will admit it or not is unknown. Many countries have their eyes on Germany. If Germany were willing to confess to the Chinese emperor, they would do the same.
And Germany, what is it doing now?
As early as the defeat of the Eight-Nation Alliance, they set up an experimental test. Finally, a chemist invented a weapon that should have appeared decades later, and with this weapon, they also had some confidence that they could fight with the Chinese emperor. If they lose this wave, then they will admit defeat to the Chinese emperor.
