After peacefully dealing with the problem of the Hanping Kingdom, the biggest threat to the Chinese leader was the Japanese nation. The Japanese navy has built four 'Mogami' class cruisers, and at the same time, three 'King Kong' class battleships have also begun construction.
The navy of Japan is getting stronger and stronger, and these warships have become the biggest threat to the Chinese territorial Eastern Ocean Fleet, which is very close at hand. Therefore, Wu Qiong decided to personally visit the Ezo Kingdom, the feudal enemy of Japan.
Ezo Country is located in the north of Wa Country. It is also an island country. Ezo Country is only composed of one Ezo Island with an area of 74,000 square kilometers. The Ainu people, a unique ethnic group, live on the island.
The terrain of Ezo Island is high in the middle and low on the surrounding areas. There are mountains and mountains in the middle, so the terrain is undulating as a whole, and it is surrounded by vast flat land.
The volcanic belt on the island extends from the east and south, forming a volcanic terrain. Mountains account for 60% of the total area, of which volcanoes account for 40% of the mountain area.
There are Akan and Shiretoko volcanoes in the east of the island; Tenshio and Yubari Mountains in the west; Kitami and Hidaka mountain ranges running through the center, including the Daisetsuzan volcanoes; the highest peak, Asahidake, is 2,290 meters above sea level.
There are many plains along the coast of Ezo Island, including the Ishikari Plain and Yufu Plain in the west, and the Tokachi Plain in the east. The main rivers are the Ishikari River, Tenshio River, etc.
Ezo Island is rich in products and has a very developed agriculture and animal husbandry. At the same time, due to its rich coal mines, the mining industry is also very developed. However, the largest source of economy on Ezo Island is fishing.
The intersection of the frigid ocean current from the north and the tropical ocean current from the south near Ezo Island makes the aquatic microorganisms here extremely prosperous, thus attracting a large number of fish to live here, and the Ainu people fish for these seafood
The dried goods are sold to merchants around the world.
Although the Ainu are brave and good at fighting, their technology is not developed. All weapons are imported from the Lanfang Empire, and their navy is also very weak. However, Ezo Island is very close to the main island of Wa, and the threat to it is still very great.
.In order to contain the Japanese state, the Lanfang Empire had been wooing the Ezo Kingdom and supporting it with weapons. This caused the Japanese state to be in a state of stagnation for so many years and unable to fully develop the country.
But after the Japanese nation began to reform, the situation changed. The Japanese nation became more and more powerful and had iron-clad warships. This situation put pressure on the Ezo Kingdom increasing day by day. Only when the Chinese leader completely destroyed the Japanese navy in two wars
, which allowed the Ainu people to live a good life.
However, as the Japanese navy was rebuilt, the pressure on the Ainu increased again. In order to defend against the Japanese, the Ainu once sought assistance from the Lanfang Empire. However, due to the expansion of the tentacles of powerful countries such as the Saar Empire and the Nantes Empire, the Ainu once again sought help from the Lanfang Empire.
When they arrived at the Kingdom of Siam, the navy of the Lanfang Empire focused its attention on the south, and could only adopt an indifferent attitude towards the Ezo Kingdom.
The pressure on the Ezo Kingdom was increasing. For this reason, the king had no choice but to purchase a batch of Type 92 rifles from China to equip his army. However, because the cost of naval warships was too high, the Ainu people were unable to pay, leaving their navy
Still so weak.
For an island country, not having a strong navy means being passively attacked, and not having a strong navy means having to huddle on the island and wait to die. Seeing that the Japanese navy is getting stronger day by day, the Ainu people are becoming more and more like ants on a hot pot.
I became more and more anxious. At this special period, Gao Qiong, the Chinese leader in charge of diplomatic work, came here.
For the Ainu people, Wu Qiong's arrival was like pie in the sky. They immediately sent the Minister of Foreign Affairs to greet Wu Qiong. The two sides held talks for two hours, and finally the two sides signed the "China Assistance Agreement."
The Chinese leader helped the Ezo country train a group of naval officers and soldiers, and within three months, it assisted the Ezo country with five torpedo boats and five small gunboats to help the other country stabilize maritime security. The Chinese leader assisted the Ezo country with 10,000 Type 92 rifles and two hundred
It also equipped Type 90 heavy machine guns and thirty 76mm mountain guns, and also sent officers to help it train the new army.
In return, the Ezo Kingdom will regard the Chinese Territory as its suzerain state, accept the political, military, and economic supervision of the Chinese Territory, implement the Chinese Territory's overall economic plan, and use the unified Chinese dollar as its legal currency.
When the government of Ezo Kingdom came under strong military pressure from Japan, it chose to join the Chinese leadership, which had defeated Japan twice.
This is not just because of military pressure. Due to the technological backwardness of Ezo Country, the poverty-stricken Ainu people have long been very jealous of the rapidly developing and increasingly prosperous Chinese people. Naturally, they would not hesitate to have the opportunity to join this economic system this time.
Will let it go.
Zhonghua Ling did not disappoint these Ainu people. Zhonghua Ling soon announced the implementation of the same food distribution system as Zhonghua Ling in Ezo Country. At the same time, Zhonghua Group invested here, not only purchasing many new fishing boats and employing local fishermen.
For fishery production, several fish meat canning factories and fish meal feed factories have also been established.
Driven by the China Group Corporation, several private companies also came here to open farms and ranches or invest in fisheries. With guaranteed food and generous wages, people praised the government's wise decision.
Fang Xiaoyu's strategy is very effective. As long as the economy is developed enough, the Chinese collar will attract other weak countries like a magnet. They will rush to join the Chinese collar system. Only the Chinese collar has the right to say no, just like when Grenada wanted to join the United States.
However, Fang Xiaoyu will not refuse to join the United States just because he is afraid that they will drag down the U.S. economy. In Fang Xiaoyu's view, these regions should be accepted as long as the conditions are not particularly harsh. Even if the conditions are harsh, if their strategic location is important, they should be accepted.
Join. Fang Xiaoyu’s philosophy is that there is no useless land, only people who don’t know how to use it.
The Japanese nation was really frightened by Ezo's involvement in the Chinese Territory system. They immediately issued a note to protest against the annexation of the Chinese Territory. But now that the identity of the Chinese Territory is different, when will the powerful countries let these weak countries dictate what they do?
Not to mention the Chinese Territory annexing the Ezo Kingdom, even if it annexes the Japanese Kingdom, there is no country that can make irresponsible remarks. Therefore, the Chinese Territory did not pay attention to the Japanese Kingdom at all. It only sent a stern note to the Japanese ambassador, asking them to pay attention to their identities, otherwise the Chinese Territory would not pay attention to their identities.
He will declare war on Japan without hesitation.
After receiving the tough statement from the Chinese leader, the Japanese government then remembered that the Chinese leader had become one of the great powers. They had no choice but to shut up. Otherwise, even the Chinese leader would be able to start a war with them just based on the excuse that the Japanese were disrespectful to the Chinese leader.
When the time comes, no country will dare to support them.
