Chapter 539 Let's rebuild Rome!

The Persian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula in West Asia can be said to be an ocean of oil in modern times.

But when Xu Xingchen came here, there were only Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain at the moment, and the oil mining industries were basically developed by bald eagles and companies invested in the investment.

People of this era already know that there is oil here, but they can't imagine how abundant the oil here will be.

They also don’t know that the land Xu Xingchen is asking for now, which is most of the Persian Gulf and the western coast of the Persian Gulf, is the gold-producing land with the largest oil reserves, the best crude oil quality and the lowest mining cost in the world.

Moreover, before the large-scale oil development, the population here was very small, with Kuwait only 200,000 people and the UAE only 80,000 people, so it is relatively simple to manage and absorb.

The things that Xu Xingchen proposed to ask for these places now were not too much in the eyes of Luoqiu and the others.

There is no need for the entire Saudi Arabia. Xu Xingchen is willing to buy the existing oil fields of both sides with gold. This is a commercial transaction and there is nothing to say.

The oil mining industry in this era is still a high-tech industry to some extent.

The industry in the desert areas around the Persian Gulf is very backward, and there is no industrial foundation and sufficient technical workers in the local area.

Before mining oil, you must first carry out infrastructure construction and then transfer skilled workers and engineers from outside to develop. The project return cycle is too long and the cost is not cost-effective.

The oil output in this era is mainly concentrated in industrial countries. Bald eagles are now in a state where oil production crushes the whole world, and they are not particularly concerned about the oil outside.

During World War II, the axis of snatching oil resources was actually snatching oil production bases, rather than grabbing undeveloped oil fields.

For example, the chickens with feet basin occupy Borneo and the Sandezi seized Romania.

But Luo Qiu and the other two did not want to promise Xingchen, especially Fatty Qiu, were very alert to this:

"These areas themselves are nothing, but you control the land west of India in this way, and you will definitely stay in the fleet here, which will affect the maritime rights of the Indian Ocean..."

I was concerned about India. I felt that after Xu Xingchen went to West Asia, he would be able to attack India on both sides...

Xu Xingchen said speechlessly:

“I really…really not interested in India, I can swear to your God that I can sign an agreement.

"And I have asked French Chicken for Madagascar and Francois Somalia to interfere with your route to India. These two places are not much more convenient than the Persian Gulf?

"You are taking Ying's fleet and merchant ships to India. Whether you go to Suez or Cape of Good Hope, I can stop them in both places."

Fatty Qiu suddenly felt a little painfully when he heard this:

"I understand that these places can be given to you, but you have to make clear guarantees and commitments as you said.

"At the same time, Iraq has become independent and cannot be given to you as a colony. At most, you will protect Iraq in the future. You can sign an oil extraction agreement with Iraq.

"The eastern Saudi Arabia cannot be ceded directly to you. You can also sign a development agreement and give you the exploration and development rights of that land."

After hearing this, Xu Xingchen shook his head and said:

"Iraq can do what you said, but the eastern part of Saudi Arabia must be drawn out. I did not want the entire Saudi Arabia, nor the entire Persian Gulf, which is already a concession.

"Western Europe is not a colony, but you told me that even if Romania has a mature oil industry, I will hand over it.

"Except for Iraq, which has a relatively large population, other regions must be directly transferred to me and become directly under the overseas territory of Nanyang.

"I can not participate in the division of Italian colonies such as Somalia, Ethiopia, and Villa.

"At the same time, I will leave all of Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia, Yugoslavia, Greece, and Albania to you to occupy and deal with, and I will not interfere at all."

Fatty Qiu nodded helplessly again after hearing this:

"Okay, you won, this matter is settled. Let's discuss the handling of the axis. Where is the border between Germany and Italy that you envision?"

Fatty Qiu said as he took out a stack of maps, and from the beginning of the 20th century to the present, all the maps of Europe that had boundary changes were listed.

Xu Xingchen did not hide his thoughts by picking out a map before World War I and a map before World War II.

"The borders of Germany should be based on the pre-World War I, plus Austria and the Czech Republic..."

This time, Luo Qiu just stared at him, and the chicken spoke directly:

"Arsace and Lorraine cannot give Germany!"

Xu Xingchen asked casually:

"These two places are the old places of Shenra?"

Alsace and Lorraine are usually the land that fingers the dispute between chicken and Germany.

The two areas that are not complete are Alsace in Belfort and Moselle in the Lorraine region, which are about 90% Alsace and 30% Lorraine.

This place was originally the territory of Shinra, and was occupied by France for a long time after the Thirty Years' War.

The German Empire claimed to be the successor of Shenluo, so it asked for this land and took it back after the French-Prussian War.

However, Joan of Arc of the French chicken comes from Lorraine, and the national anthem of the French chicken comes from Alsace, and the native language of the people here is German...

No matter how you look at it, it's already completely unpredictable...

After hearing Xu Xingchen's words, Faji immediately continued to ask back with excitement:

"Belgium and the Netherlands are still the old land of Shenluo!"

Xu Xingchen said with a smile:

"Then you also give the Netherlands and Belgium to Germany. We Orientals like unification, and you Westerners like Rome, so let's rebuild Shinra. By the way, there is also Yidaili to add. Rome with the city of Rome is the real Rome..."

"impossible!"

"Absolutely not possible!"

"This is totally unreasonable!"

The audience screamed, and no one agreed with Xu Xingchen, and they all thought Xu Xingchen was completely nonsense.

Xu Xingchen was indeed a nonsense. He listened to the collective opposition of the big guys in the audience, and immediately continued with a smile:

"I'm just kidding. Let the land of Alsace and Lorraine be autonomous, and ownership continues to belong to the French chicken, but the Germans must be allowed to enter and exit, and German must not be banned.

"Then the German border was added with the borders before World War I, Czech Republic and Austria, oh by the way, plus Luxembourg."

French chicken represents a sigh of relief. As long as it is not directly assigned to Germany, with the cultural advantages of French chicken, this land cannot be inclined to Germany.

But apart from this, others are still completely unacceptable to the division of Germany's boundaries required by Xu Xingchen.

Germany is even bigger than before the war. Not only did it regain the territory of World War I, but it retained the merger of Germany and Austria, plus the entire Czech Republic and Luxembourg, it is not worse than Shinra.

With Germany's existing industrial foundation, it will be very easy to restore its strength.

If this happens, will Sandezi defeat the country or defeat the country?

Dalinzi said to Xu Xingchen with a calm face:

"We cannot accept this kind of plan. Germany must accept sufficient punishment. We must split it up, destroy its industrial capacity, and prevent it from harming the world again!"

The French chicken representative also continued to explain his demands:

"German militants launched wars, causing unprecedented harm to Europe and the world. They must pay the price, and must accept punishment and compensate for losses."

After hearing this, Master Luo and Fatty Qiu also supported each other, and the four bigwigs collectively opposed Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen listened for a while, nodded slowly and said:

"No problem, Germany can be dismembered, of course it can also be compensated. But have you ever thought about why this war broke out?"

The French chicken representative immediately said:

"Because after the last war, because of his selfishness, he did not completely punish Germany, nor did he truly dismember Germany!"

Xu Xingchen sighed and said:

"I think the more important reason is hatred. The Germans wanted to take revenge, and Xiaowang also used this trend of thought. This is also the source of the will of the Sandezi soldiers...

"Simple punishment and simple dismemberment will not have particularly good results, and may even backfire.

"The German border I want is the border of the entire German region. I will split it into three organizations internally to make them independent of each other.

"Then, the existing cultural products related to military and national thoughts will be comprehensively cleaned up and completely destroyed to eliminate the military and national cultural atmosphere in the entire society.

"Through the compulsory education we control, we will control and transform the ideas of the next generation of young people, so that they will not be able to access military and national cultural products.

"More than a hundred years ago, Bismarck forcibly portrayed the Germans at that time into what we are now in this similar way.

"The Germans two hundred years ago were actually in the Austrian state, and the military and national thoughts were mainly shaped by Prussia.

"In the future, there will be no military and national cultural atmosphere within Germany, and no corresponding continuous education and publicity to support it, and the next generation of Germans will become Austrians again.

"I think only by doing this can we really eliminate the possibility that they will harm the world again..."

What Xu Xingchen said seemed to make some sense, but the other representatives on the scene did not pay special attention to such things, they cared more about actual operations.

Master Luo just asked again:

"You really decided to split Deutsch?"

Xu Xingchen nodded again:

"Yes, the general plan for the present is to be one part of the east and west Prussia, one part of the North Germany, and one part of the Austria and the South Germany.

"In these three German regions, the intensity of military and national thoughts is decreasing in turn, and the intensity of the attack will also decrease in turn.

"The key point is the territory established by Prussia in the north, these knights and mercenaries..."

Master Luo nodded slowly after hearing this:

"If it is really split, then the size of the total area of ​​the region will not be very important..."

Dalinzi thought about it for a while and felt that if Germany was divided into three parts, he would not be able to confront the French chicken and himself in any case, so he reluctantly accepted this split.

Anyway, even if I disagree, I can't force myself to take over one part. Xu Xingchen can just give the world an explanation.

The others also had similar mentality and finally accepted this plan.

Negotiation is a compromise. It is impossible for everyone to achieve the ultimate goal directly, just be almost the same.
Chapter completed!
