0607 Diplomatic assistance
This time, Comrade Gong Yixin has been much more relaxed. Now we can’t blame him for it, because the matter has passed. You don’t know how to send a large army to cooperate with the British to fight, and wasted a good opportunity in vain!
The Qing court was preparing for the war in the fire. Please read the book WwΩW∮. ΩQingKanShu. cC
There is no idle in the UK, and they can't swallow this tone. Moreover, Xuan Yuemeng got Guangdong, and the entire world of the great powers was also excited, because whoever defeated Xuan Yuemeng would get this big piece of fat meat in Guangdong!
Who can not be jealous?
The cute president, Principal Meng, was able to stay in the north because it was a barren land, a remote place, and a blank space, and the great powers didn’t care about it!
Danzhou is like a little chicken, and he is still spending money and cannot eat meat!
It’s different in Guangdong!
Guangdong is already a golden hen laying eggs, and what he has to do is to speed up the hen laying eggs.
The great powers wanted to steal eggs and hens, but the Qing court would never allow the chicken's belly to be cut off!
The pursuit and expulsion of the Qing army was naturalized in various parts of Guangdong. These things were done by subordinates, the Guangdong Government of China, and the Guangdong Security Command and the Construction Corps Command.
The tricky problem that the cute president wants to solve is military production. He must take out alternatives to the Krupp Mountain Cannon and Armstrong Mountain Cannon. If he cannot produce shells himself, Guangdong cannot defend them and Hong Kong cannot defend them. After a busy day, he cannot make wedding dresses for others.
Of course, there is something that the cute president didn’t say at the meeting, diplomacy!
The cute CEO is not a stubborn person. He would not think that just a few sneak attacks and got a large area of land, this would be possible. The Qing army and the British army would not make a comeback. This is absolutely impossible, and the great powers would not stand by and watch!
Therefore, the cute CEO wanted to compete with the Qing court and the British for diplomacy.
Although China was founded in the name of the East Hawaii Kingdom and the name of the US vassal state, after it was officially renamed China, in fact, China and the United States had nothing to do with it.
However, the cute CEO still maintained friendship with the United States. He could not kick this treacherous country for the time being. The Americans had no intention of world affairs for a long time after the Civil War, which can be seen from the navy.
After the Civil War, the United States began to implement a policy of reducing its armaments.
Influenced by Monroeism, many in the U.S. government believe that the United States does not need a powerful 6 navy.
Because, since the United States has no intention of competing with European powers, the country does not need to have a powerful 6 navy to challenge them. Please read the book Ww∫W∮. ∫QingKanShu. cC
Affected by this, the US Navy was greatly reduced.
In 5 years, the number of ships in the original 7oo warships was reduced to only 52 ships.
Moreover, the 52 ships retained are all old wooden sailboats with bore guns installed on the ship.
The same is true for Germany, which was highly anticipated by the cute president. Bismarck has no intention of the world colonization cause.
All my mind is focused on Europe and Big 6. The conservative German old man is good at Big 6 diplomacy and is dedicated to suppressing the French.
After more than 2 years of hard work, Prussia finally realized the ideal of unifying Germany during the French-Prussian War.
The modern German navy was founded in 1867 and played a certain role in the French-Prussian War.
In 1872, the German Navy proposed a ten-year naval expansion plan to Congress, intending to build 14 ironclad ships and 20 cruisers by 1882, plus a total of 100 other ships.
However, in the original history, all this plan was realized. Until the early 1890s, Germany's main focus was on the construction of the 6th Army, and defensiveism prevailed in naval construction. Therefore, both naval funds and naval ships were relatively limited. During this period, the German navy was only called a second-rate naval.
President Meng at this time knew that Germany could not support itself in Asian affairs at the moment.
As for Russia, the Russian navy, like the navy of other Western countries, also experienced a period of rapid development.
The Russian government's allocation to the navy has increased year by year, with US$120,000 in 187o, which is a very terrible number, indicating that although Tsarist Russia is still a country dominated by agriculture, it already has ambitions for rising.
However, the cute CEO is not interested in dating with the Russians, because the cute CEO does not want to lead the wolf to Guangdong, and in the north, he will sooner or later beat the polar bear.
The only person who can involve the cute president's most terrifying opponent in diplomacy is the French.
Only the French deserve this diplomatic status.
Although it failed in the Franco-Prussian War, France's colonial power was still good.
France is located in Western Europe, on the west side of the Atlantic Ocean, across the sea from Britain; on the south side of the Mediterranean Sea, on the south side of Italy and Spain; and on the east side of Germany.
In terms of national defense, it must not only defend against Germany on the 6th, but also deal with the strong maritime opponent Britain. The objective situation forces it to have a powerful 6th navy at the same time. Please read the book W w Ω W Ω W Ω .

The French-Prussian War caused a devastating blow to the French 6th Army, and the French Navy was less affected in the French-Prussian War, but the original ships of its navy were retired after 1872 due to their long age or excessive style.
To this end, the French government still did not use a large amount of funds to engage in naval construction under extremely difficult financial conditions.
In 1872, the Navy proposed a naval exhibition plan to build 217 ships.
In accordance with the requirements of the Navy Technology Exhibition, an amendment to this plan was proposed to build a larger tonnage and more advanced artillery ship, and the funding was increased to 1,213 ooooo US dollars.
The plan was immediately approved by the French Parliament.
The French Navy Minister said: "French warships are second-class than warships in European countries. However, countries still build first-class ships and do their best to manage the ships. If the law does not rectify it, it may become a descendant."
"Whoever can prepare for warships and has a good reputation will be able to take power and do overseas."
However, there is another claim in France that the French Navy is mainly used for its coastal defense and is suitable for building more small and medium-sized ships, rather than building first-class iron armored ships.
Both opinions have a certain influence over a considerable period of time, so "the naval policy is often not certain."
Despite this, the French Navy always ranks second in the world's navy at the end of the 19th century.
In 187o, the French Navy had 460,000 tons of ships!
This is a very terrible number.
Although the cute president looked down on the French and believed that they had the best weapons, the best resources, and the most awesome citizens, they were beaten every time and were directly killed in World War II.
However, France's strength and technology have been recognized by the cute president.
Since modern times, Britain has been interdependent and promoted by its naval construction and its overseas colonial cause, and has become a strong cornerstone of the British Empire.
In view of this, the British government attached great importance to the construction of the navy and always placed it in a more important position than the 6th Army.
In the late 19th century, the British government's naval construction goal was to "make its navy strong enough to fight against the navy of the two powerful countries", that is, the British navies were stronger than the second and third countries' navies combined.
To this end, it has taken effective measures in several aspects such as naval funding, expansion of fleet size, and improvement of ship technology, and achieved practical results.
The British Parliament will debate the next year's naval budget every year, but it can be passed smoothly. "If the Parliament decides the budget for expanding the navy, it will make a decision. When the authorities plan it or are slow, the attack will come immediately."
The naval funding for the years 1857-1858 was 844o1oo pounds; the annual expenditure for the years 187o-1871 was 9o13ooo pounds.
As the British government continues to increase its naval funding, the number and tonnage of ships owned by its navy has also increased rapidly, and the scale of the navy is getting bigger and bigger. In 187o, the total tonnage of British naval ships was 633ooo tons!
考虑到19世纪末国家的经济承受能力,考虑到187o年英国海军舰船吨位的庞大基数,这个展度应该说是相当快的.如果拿同时期其他欧洲国家的海军舰船吨位水平来与英国进行比较,则更显示出其海军的雄厚实力.在这3o年中,它的吨位数始终大于或相当于同时期西欧任何两国乃至三国海军吨位之和.
While paying attention to the strengthening of naval strength, Britain also paid great attention to the update of naval ship technology. In 1873, Italy planned two new ironclad ships of 10,000 tons, using the rotating turret method to equip the 22-hour caliber Armstrong cannon. When Britain learned about this, it immediately decided to imitate and transform it.
During this period, although many new technologies of the world's navy, such as armor protection and destroyers, were not British, they were able to actively absorb them and quickly reach a practical level to form new combat power. Therefore, the British navy not only ranked first in the world at that time, but also had few aspects such as the navigation, endurance, armor protection, and attack power of ship-based weapons.
The British Navy regards the Navy as the central administrative organ, and all ships, commanders and planning wars are in their responsibilities. The Navy Minister is a member of parliament and is responsible to the king and parliament. The Navy Secretary is a member of the Navy and is responsible for the special affairs of the Navy. The Navy implements a voluntary military service system, and men over 16 years old can enlist in the army. The officers must be studied in a specialized school before they can be qualified.
Most of the British Navy's ships were incorporated into the standing fleet, and a few were listed as reserved ships. At the end of the 19th century, according to Britain's needs, the standing fleet was divided into: Strait Fleet (station in the English Channel), Mediterranean Fleet, China Fleet (station in China), Pacific Fleet (station in Australia and the West Coast of the Americas), and Atlantic Fleet (station in South Africa and the East Coast of the Americas). There are also three major military ports and three major shipbuilding stations in their local area and Ireland.
The cute CEO never thought that he could fight the British Empire alone with his own strength, at least it was a joke at the moment.
But to this point, the cute CEO could not compromise with the UK, so he had to find a helper.
Judging from the current situation, the only helpers that the cute president can find are the French.
The cute president asked to establish a contractual state for the Nanyang Alliance with France through the French foreign business in Hong Kong on the condition of an additional order of 1 billion francs!
Moreover, the cute president is still actively contacting the Netherlands, Spain, these two countries, which are old maritime power countries, but they have long been degraded and the domestic situation is in turmoil. Now they are only considered the second strongest.
Princess Katrina Kaif stood in front of the cute president and smiled and said, "President, I gave me a Chinese name. Do you want to know?"
The cute CEO smiled and said, "Tell me."
"Liang Kefan." Princess Katrina Kaif said, her hands crossing, revealing the charm of the girl.
"Liang Kefan?" President Meng repeated it and found it interesting, "very poetic."
Princess Katrina Kaif looked at the cute CEO, "How is it? What's the Chinese name?"
"It's okay, Liang Kefan, I love you." The cute CEO smiled and joked.
"Don't play with me, don't accept play, don't welcome play." Princess Katrina Kaif pretended to be angry.
The cute CEO laughed, and a sweet feeling gently swept away in the room.
When Princess Jie came in, she saw that the cute CEO and Princess Katrina Kaif were smiling happily, and she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling, she pouted and sat on the sand.
The office of the cute president likes Westernization, behind it is the Huacui Party Party flag and the Chinese national flag, and in the middle is a huge photo of the cute president.
When the cute CEO saw Princess Jie, he blinked at Princess Katrina Kaifu, and Princess Katrina Kaifu smiled and went out.
"Do you really want to cooperate with foreigners to deal with foreigners?" asked Ge Ge.
The cute president nodded, "What's wrong?"
"Hmph, you talk about the country and nation all day long. In the end, don't you want to collude with foreigners? It's so disgusting." Jie Ge Ge looked at the cute CEO and said.
The cute CEO was sweating, and he didn't expect Prince Jie to think so. However, he really didn't know how to explain it. It would be troublesome to explain it. "I'm not colluding with people. I won't use foreigners to embezzle the country. This is essentially different from the way the Qing court and foreigners cooperate. Do you understand?"
Princess Jie stood up and walked out, saying, "I don't want to understand. Anyway, no matter what you say, you can tell the reason."
President Meng wants to establish the Nanyang Alliance Contracting State Organization, which is not only conducive to creating international influence and enhancing China's international status, but also can also play a role in checking and balancing the British. President Meng is most afraid and worried about the British. The British are the one or two hundred warships that come to Hong Kong and have shelled all day long, so he doesn't have to do anything. He just needs to plow the fields inside. He doesn't have to plow the fields. If there is no sea defense, he can board the fields at any time.
If the British 6th Army sent tens of thousands of people over, they would not even be able to stay in the 6th Army, so they could only go back to Danzhou obediently. Maybe they would have to be forced to go up the mountain to fight guerrillas.
That really went back to the pre-liberation moment at once. (To be continued.)
