Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth behind the win-win ending
Chapter 586: The winner after the win-win ending...
The north Liuhe Wharf in Jiading City is extremely lively. Cargo ships docked here. With the help of simple lifting machinery, they unloaded the rails, cement, and various building materials, and then ran away from the wharf and headed out of the Yangtze River Estuary.
Cargo ships also entered the Wusongkou Wharf east of Jiading City, but compared to the Liuhe Wharf, it was much quieter. There were countless fully armed soldiers patrolling around the wharf.
"Slow down, be careful, be careful, be careful." The captain of the cargo ship greeted loudly, for fear that the personnel carrying these cargo would accidentally damage these extremely valuable machinery.
"And you, be careful. That thing must not be tilted. If it weren't for the thing to be poured out, it would be a life-threatening person." On the other hand, the first mate of the porters sent by the military was also repeatedly reminded.
Mei Acai, the commander of the Special Division, who came to escort these things, reached out and scratched his scalp, and said with a huff: "Grandma, what are these things? They made such a shocking and deceitful thing."
"Captain, we can't know what these things are. Don't forget what the commander said when he asked us to escort us." Next to him, the political commissar of the regiment, Liang Pingshun, lowered his voice.
Mei Acai was stunned and glared at Liang Pingshun with some reluctance: "Nonsense, of course I know, I just want to ask curiously. By the way, you guys have always admired the preferences of Guigui. Do you know what these are? It's so grand that we actually want our Special Division to take action."
Liang Pingshun glanced around and saw that the guards were far away, so he came to Mei Acai's ear and whispered: "I don't know the specifics, but I heard from the teacher that it seems to be a communication tool that allows adults to know things that are thousands of miles away at the first time."
"Damn, can it be nonsense?" Mei Acai couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "This thing has no legs and no wings. Can it be faster than a carrier pigeon?"
"Do you think the young master would talk nonsense with such things?" Liang Pingshun glanced at this person and groaned.
"...Grandma, so magical?" Mei Acai didn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. The metal objects contained in the wooden box could be so magical.
"I just heard that I can't guess that this thing has such skills. However, I think the young master said that, then it's definitely correct." Liang Pingshun replied in a low voice. This was approved by Mei Acai. In their minds, Liang Pengfei, the eldest son, can almost be regarded as an omnipotent and omniscient god. So far, there is nothing that is rare to Master Liang.
The routes from various provinces to Jiading have already started to pole up, and the routes from the provincial governments of southern provinces such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other southern provinces to Jiading have been completed. As long as the communication cable is in place, I believe that the laying of these lines can be completed within a maximum of two months.
Since communication cables must be given priority to supply major trunk lines in each province, the prefecture and county line projects in each province can only be postponed. But this is coming, China's communication level has far exceeded the world's average.
Liang Pengfei is not at the moment willing to use cable telegrams to register any patents in the West, because he does not want to expose this communication tool far exceeding the modern communication level to the eyes of Westerners too early, at least before the land of China is covered with telegram lines.
"I don't want to be the name of a foe for a little patent fee." Liang Pengfei boasted patrioticly.
However, Liang Pengfei does not want Westerners to obtain this technology. No matter how much money he gives, he cannot be as advanced as technology. Liang Pengfei, who has seen Europe and the United States in later generations, understood this truth very well.
The next morning, Liang Pengfei waited for the British to agree to the cooperation. After fierce debate and discussion, Liang Pengfei finally felt bloody in his heart, saying that the British would restore the country for the Arakan Kingdom, which was destroyed by Myanmar more than ten years ago. It originally belonged to the Arakan Kingdom, and now occupied by Myanmar, the Rakhine State and the southern part of the Chin State would be colonized by Britain. The Chinese Empire recognized the British colonial rights of the Arakan Kingdom.
In addition, Liang Pengfei agreed to return the Muzoram and Manipur, which originally belonged to the Arakan Kingdom, to the Arakan Kingdom, and the British had to hand over their British colonies in Penang to Chinese rule, which was equivalent to replacing the colonies.
The basis of all this, that is, the premise of the implementation of the treaty, is that the British must dispatch at least 10,000 British troops to launch an attack on Myanmar from southern Myanmar, capture Rakhine State and southern Qin State, and attract Burmese heavy troops to go south. Only when the British did all this would Liang Pengfei recognize that the Jiading Treaty signed by both sides was valid.
For the British who were originally worried, the treaty that Liang Pengfei brought out really made them both sad and happy, because the British Empire had lost nearly 90% of their colonies in the East, and the conditions that Liang Pengfei gave out allowed them to see at least a glimmer of hope. Although this area is not as rich as India's products and is not as rich as the minerals in the South China Sea, at least the territory is more than a hundred times better than Penang, which is small and inaction.
Moreover, the country of Arakan was destroyed shortly after the people who originally belonged to the Arakan Kingdom were very disgusted with the rule of Myanmar, and rebellion could be said to be commonplace.
Although the Burmese monarch had a great headache, he would not give up on the fat meat in his mouth. Therefore, he naturally suppressed and stroled, but had little effect.
All of this is the best place to use for the British East India Company, which is now much weaker than two and a half years ago.
You should know that when the Alashan royal family was destroyed, they fled to the Portuguese colony for asylum. They knew that if in the name of the Alashan royal family, then the British East India Company could fully fulfill the treaty with its existing strength and the help of the Alashan citizens.
Although the document called the Sino-British Jiading Treaty was signed in just one day, the bargaining and racking their brains were not worthy of being told by outsiders.
But all of this, whether it is the Chinese Empire represented by Ni Ming, Sun Shijie, or Viscount Edmond and Macartney from the British East India Company.
Although all this kept the poor unlucky Burmese King Meng Yun in the dark, the Western colonists who were still stranded in Jiading became witnesses to the Jiading Treaty, which represented the capriciousness of the British, Liang Pengfei turned his hand to turn the clouds and rain.
For them, their attitude towards Liang Pengfei can only be described as more fear and respect. For the British, they were always angry and contemptuous of their compatriots on the island outside the European continent. Now they have a deeper impression of this and are more vigilant about the capriciousness of Britain.
Afterwards, Liang Pengfei deliberately promoted the image of the British in the East and the image of the British in the East was so great that even those Indian kings who were originally under the rule of other Western colonists saw the real and ugly face of the British, and eventually cut off the idea of deep friendship and cooperation with the British.
As for Liang Pengfei's promise to colonize the Arakan Kingdom, with the help of the British, after the re-establishment of the country, they began to be brutal exploited by the British colonial, because they wanted to use the wealth and property of the Arakan Kingdom to make up for their losses to India.
Although the British colonists controlled the puppet royal family, Liang Pengfei also had a backhand inside. Through Portugal friendly with the Arakan royal family, Durunladui, the remains of the Arakan royal family, had already been on the line.
In the years after Britain helped the founding of the country, due to the crazy plunder and irresponsible rule of the British colonists, Durunladhi, the king of the Arakan Kingdom, finally gave up his fantasy of the British and turned to the Chinese Empire, which had already occupied the Indochina Peninsula.
In just a few years, the British Empire was once again forced into a desperate situation by Liang Pengfei's continuous overturning method, and had to humiliately leave the territory of the Arakan Kingdom and recognize the independence of the Arakan Kingdom. Of course, this is a later story. Now, after Liang Pengfei received the cargo ships, merchant ships and warships from Europe for more than a year, and with the warships that the Hong Kong Shipyard had built, Liang Pengfei was finally satisfied with his maritime power. At least, Liang Pengfei felt that his maritime military power was no less than any European maritime power.
At this time, Liang Pengfei received the emergency military information from the New World at the fastest speed. The United States of America had sent an expeditionary force to launch an attack on the colonies of the Chinese Empire in the New World. In addition, news of the intelligence stations placed on the west coast of Spain also came back at the same time. A large number of United States of America fleets moved south through the Caribbean and contacted the expeditionary force. Everything was self-evident, and it could only prove one thing. The United States of America seemed to want to cut off the power of the Chinese Empire in the New World at one time.
Liang Pengfei and the Imperial Staff Headquarters were not surprised too much about this news. After all, Liang Pengfei had already issued an order to provide military equipment and replenish military personnel to the New World.
Since the shipyard was completed, all warships that were shipped out of the factory have been built one after another. They have already been to the New World three months ago in order to replenish the sea power of the New World.
