[1335 German Blind Quotes]
"Your Majesty." Catherine has a strong sexual desire. When she was indifferent to Li Timothy, she had to help herself solve it at least three or four times a day. She just entered a state of love with Emperor Hua. When Emperor Hua touched him like this, she suddenly felt like a fire, and even her voice was sweet.
When the cute CEO saw Catherine's appearance of closing her eyes and rubbing her body gently, she couldn't help but sweat. She was not doing anything yet. You, let alone labor and capital guessing that she was only 9 years old, even 19 years old, you are not 40 years old. At that time, I will stop doing anything in the next ten years. It is enough to satisfy you alone.
Catherine opened her eyes and saw that His Majesty did not continue to touch her, she laughed, "I thought His Majesty was thinking about it again."
"It's not that I don't want to. It's been too long, and others will doubt it. Didn't you say it was an affair? Do you want people to know our relationship?" The cute president smiled.
"Well, I'll control myself, Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I really feel in love. I don't want to be separated from Your Majesty for a second, I like Your Majesty to keep hugging me like this." Catherine stood up with a smile, "But I have a proper sense, Your Majesty, I'm out."
Seeing that Catherine's attitude changed, the cute president was almost comparable to Princess Katrina Kaif. He thought, are they smart women who can change quickly? Just now you were so enthusiastic, and then you can instantly become intellectual beauty.
The cute CEO was very happy as he watched Catherine twist her plump beauty and left from her side. He secretly cursed himself, "The women around him have finished doing it, but Catherine wasn't really his initiative."
However, the cute CEO had experienced a feeling that he had never had before in Catherine. The feeling of having an affair was also with Concubine Lihuang, but Concubine Lihuang was too oriental. The lady of a wealthy family naturally had a unique charm to do such things, but she was not as unrestrained and modern as Catherine.
At night, Wang Zhankui brought a pretty good news, "Your Majesty, the Tsarist Russian Foreign Minister will accept 150,000 pounds."
Emperor Hua nodded with a smile, "Okay, I understand, I can arrange to go to the Netherlands. We have very tight time."
"Then I will discuss with Princess Katrina Kaif, how will it be tomorrow?" Wang Zhankui asked.
"See if there is a train tonight. If you can, just say hello to the Belgian government. Don't hold any ceremony and farewells, and don't pay attention to the red tape." Hua Huang said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Zhankui stood at attention and left the office of Emperor Hua.
The cute president does feel that time is very tight. If he didn't feel it was necessary to go to the Netherlands, he would choose to go directly to Berlin.
Why do we have to go to the Netherlands? Because in the Indochina Peninsula, in the southern part of China, the main powers are Britain and France, as well as Spain. The Dutch British occupied the largest and most territory, not only the entire Indian Peninsula, but also Bangladesh, not only Sikkim, Nepal, but also Myanmar and Thailand. The remaining areas, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, have become French colonies, which means that these two great powers have completely divided the Indochina Peninsula.
Although Thailand claimed to have not completely become a colony of the great powers, where did there be independent weak countries in this era? In fact, the power of the British and French was in a balanced state, and the British were more controlled. Therefore, the Emperor of China was accustomed to seeing Thailand as a colony of the British.
As for the following, there are Malay, Indonesia, and the Philippines next to Taiwan.
Malay belongs to the British, while Indonesia belongs to the Dutch, with a little German, while the Philippines belongs to the Spanish.
The relationship between Emperor Hua and the Kingdom of Spain is OK, mainly because of the relationship between Queen Maria Christina of Spain.
Although Indonesia is poor, its location is very important to Emperor Hua. The coastal areas of Emperor Hua have the first and second island chains, which restricts China from becoming a maritime power.
The first island chain originates from the Western Pacific Ocean, which refers to a chain island belt that starts from the Japanese Islands, the Ryukyu Islands in the north, the Taiwan Island in the middle, the Philippines in the south, and the Greater Sunda Islands.
The Straits in the first island chain zone: Zonggu Strait, Jinqing Strait, and the non-territorial straits in which the Korean Strait implements a free navigation system, and the same is true for the Osui Strait.
The international waterways leading to the Western Pacific include Osumi Strait, Togala Strait, Amami Strait, Miyako Strait (widest), Ishigaki Waterway (Ishigaki Strait), Yonako Strait, etc., as well as Bashi Strait, North Philippine Strait Group, and Southern Philippines Strait Group.
The so-called "island chain" has both geographical meaning and political and military content. Its purpose is to encircle the Asian continent and create a deterrent force on countries in the Asian continent.
Because Emperor Hua had enough confidence in the Chinese army, he did not regard the countries on the Indochina Peninsula as much obstacle, but it would be troublesome to involve the navy, because the Chinese navy could not stand on the world stage at all, which was also the reason why Emperor Hua was eager to find military purchases from Germany.
The core of the first island chain is Japan. Although Japan is not big or strong, the Chinese army has already gained a foothold in Kyushu Island and has the Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan Island as its support. However, if China wants to completely eat Japan, the requirement is too high. It not only needs a strong navy and army, but also involves the international situation. Japan contributes people and the great powers pay. It is impossible for China to have a way for a country like Japan within ten years.
The "second island chain" is different. The population is not as large as Japan and is so "civilized". Compared with the first island chain, it is centered on Guam and consists of islands such as the Ogasawara Islands in Japan, the Iron Islands and the Mariana Islands in the United States.
The rear relies on its power as a base group stationed in Australia, New Zealand and other countries.
The main ones are the ocean-going forces of the great powers, whether they are the British, French, Dutch and Spanish, fighting far away from their homeland. No matter how powerful your navy is, it is impossible to prevent China from controlling the Indochina Peninsula, especially now that China's national strength is developing rapidly. If the cute president did not point the finger at the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa in advance, China would have already seized the entire Indochina Peninsula by force.
The key is that after seizing the Indochina Peninsula, if you want to complete the historical mission of unifying Asia, the Emperor of China must cross the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea. This is absolutely impossible without a navy and cannot be done. Therefore, the Indonesian mastered by the Dutch and the Philippines mastered by the Spanish are very important to the Chinese.
If Emperor Hua’s goal is just Asia, there is nothing. The most important thing is that Emperor Hua will take over New Guinea Island, Australia and New Zealand. In this way, the great powers will no longer pose a threat to China in the Pacific, and China can carry out construction with peace of mind.
In short, Indonesia is very important, so Emperor Hua must take a detour to the Netherlands.
The Emperor Hua had some inquiries about the current Dutch king. The current policy of the Netherlands is very gentle and neutral. This is also the reason why the Emperor Hua decided to go this trip. For example, Belgium was swaying between Germany and Britain. In addition, Belgium King Leopold II was warlike and ambitious, and actively explored overseas colonies. The Emperor Hua had actually placed a country like the Kingdom of Belgium in his heart in a hostile position, while the Netherlands was different. He could test in advance to see if he could obtain Indonesia through peaceful means. It was not necessary to get it now, but it was also good to explore the way for the future.
It was common for the great powers of this era to buy large tracts of land from each other, so the Russians sold Alaska to the Americans.
After the outbreak of the Crimean War in 1853, Russia was afraid that the Alaska colony would be taken away by Britain and proposed to sell Alaska to the United States. In April 1867, the two sides completed a deal for US$7.2 million. The effective date of the land contract was October 18, 1867.
Currently, China's economy is growing rapidly, and a country's naval power is often directly related to its economic strength and needs to be escorted to its economic goals.
In addition to economic interests, geopolitical interests are another major reason that prompts His Majesty the Emperor to step up the development of naval strength and break through the barriers to near-shore defense.
Emperor Hua’s short-term goal is to not only capture the entire Asia and Africa, but also the Indochina Peninsula, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Australia and New Zealand, thus becoming the well-deserved largest country in the Pacific.
This is just a short-term goal, but he himself doesn't really believe that his goal can be achieved. The key to everything is, both at home and abroad. Although the cute president is in Europe, he has not relaxed his attention to changes in the domestic situation.
Princess Katrina Kaif came over in a short while, "Your Majesty, is it so hasty?"
"Well, you go early and late, and there is nothing to do in Belgium. What are you still doing here?" Hua Huang said with a smile.
Princess Katrina Kaif smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood. I haven't seen Your Majesty smile like this for a long time. It's because the power of love is strong enough."
The cute CEO was sweating, and naturally knew what Princess Katrina Kaif was referring to, and didn't know how to respond.
Princess Katrina Kaif said again: "It is also beneficial to leave early. Try to go to the Netherlands earlier. This is the quotation for the warship order negotiated with Germany that Zeng Jize just sent. In addition, according to His Majesty's request, the various technical indicators of the warship have been confirmed by experts on both sides."
Emperor Hua took the telegram from Princess Katrina Kaif and saw, "1.5 million Huayuan?"
"Haha, it's three times higher than the quote His Majesty had expected." Princess Katrina Kaif smiled, "It seems that the Germans want to kill us hard."
The cute president frowned. If the price is right, he would place an order now, but the price is obviously not suitable. Moreover, if Emperor Hua wants to order arms, he must go through Germany and cannot avoid it.
