On February 6, Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang signed a peace treaty with Britain and France on behalf of China. The five-month Middle East War ended. During this battle, the Chinese army and navy suffered nearly 30,000 casualties, but
The annihilated British and French coalition forces had more than 200,000 people, not to mention the British and French expeditionary forces that were desperate in the end and had to surrender to the squadron!
The Sino-French Peace Treaty stipulates that France withdrew from the Arabian Peninsula and all France's privileges in the Saudi Kingdom will be transferred to China! At the same time, France paid China a ransom of 150 million Chinese yuan to redeem more than 200,000 captured French troops
Soldiers. In addition, France ceded Guadeloupe to China!
After the signing of the treaty, it caused an uproar in France. French President Falier and the government were questioned and opposed by countless angry French people. However, ending the war was the wish of most French people. Even if they paid a lot of money for it,
The price, but it is not unacceptable when it has been defeated in fact. Especially the support of industrial and commercial capitalists has enabled President Falier and the government to quickly stabilize the domestic situation. At the same time, as a radical
The Party leader Falier has announced a series of policies to strengthen the military, which makes the industrial and commercial capitalists even more happy. The development of the army and navy requires ordering a large amount of equipment, which can make these capitalists full of money.
Full of the bowl.
The French government announced that it will establish a world-class navy within the next five years. This navy will have more than twelve new battleships, as well as numerous armored cruisers, supporting light cruisers and destroyers, etc. The French Navy will again
Once, it became one of the most powerful navy in the world. At the same time, the French Army's standing troops will maintain fifty divisions and six hundred thousand people. During wartime, 500,000 people can be mobilized to join the army within one month.
Within a month, one million people can be used to join the army.
France's policy of large-scale military development has made the allies of the Allied Powers such as Britain, Russia and the United States very satisfied. However, it has made members of allied powers such as Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy very nervous. German Emperor William II has more than once
The accusation of France of this crazy military expansion will seriously affect the balance and stability of Europe. However, French President Falier ignored William II's accusations. France, as an old colonial power, has a wealthy and powerful power.
, with sufficient funds to support military expansion and preparation for war. In order to ensure its own security and maintain its dominant position in the European continent, Germany had to increase its investment in military strength. However, although Germany's industrial strength has surpassed France
, but in terms of financial resources, it is not as good as Germany, which makes Germany gradually feel unsupported.
China is naturally very happy about France's vigorous development of its military. The stronger the France is, the greater the price Germany wants to defeat France. This is something China is very happy to see. For Germany, the ally, it is always
At the critical moment, stabbing China in the back made Wang Yuze very dissatisfied. If Germany could bleed blood in Europe, Wang Yuze would be very satisfied with this.
The Sino-British Peace Treaty stipulates that Britain withdrew from the Arabian Peninsula and Persia and transferred all the privileges of these two places to China. The United Kingdom recognizes Kuwait as China's protector. The United Kingdom pays China 150 million Chinese yuan to redeem the captured
More than 200,000 British soldiers. At the same time, China withdrew from the Suez Canal. The security of the Suez Canal was responsible for the police forces sent by Britain, France and Germany.
In contrast to France, British Prime Minister Sir Bennenan claimed that this was a diplomatic victory for Britain. In extreme unfavorable circumstances, British diplomats protected the interests of the British Empire in extreme unfavorable circumstances. At the same time,
The drive of the Chinese out of the Suez Canal also defended the Chinese invasion of Europe, which was a huge victory for the whole of Europe!
Sir Bennetnan's remarks about being fat and slapped in the face have also received support from many people in the UK. Many British people are still immersed in the glory of the British Empire as the world overlord in the Victorian era. Bennetnan
The Jazz's view undoubtedly agreed with their ideas. Therefore, although Britain actually suffered a loss, it seemed to be a winner!
At the same time, Sir Bennenan also assured the British that the defeat of the British Empire was only temporary. In the next few years, the British Empire will fully develop its arms, especially the navy, and will build a 28-ship unit within five years.
The powerful navy of battleships and 6 battlecruisers made the British Empire once again become the world overlord!
There is no doubt that Sir Bennenan's bold words shocked the whole world. How much military expenditure does 28 new battleships require? Of course, the British Empire has been the maritime overlord for hundreds of years and has to take out these
Military spending is not impossible.
The one who is most scared about this is probably Germany. According to the German Navy's plan, they have up to 25 new battleships and 6 battlecruisers in five years. Although the gap with the United Kingdom is not very big, don't forget
There are also the French navy eyeing it. The combined navies of Britain and France will have 40 new battleships, which will undoubtedly have an overwhelming advantage for the German navy. The two allies of Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and
Italy is far from being able to compare with the Allies in terms of naval development plans, and the German Navy can only fight alone.
What's more, US President Theodore Roosevelt later publicly stated that the United States will also establish a world-class navy in the next five years. The US Navy will use more than twenty new battleships and six battlecruisers.
There is no doubt that the naval forces of the Allies will far surpass the Allies.
At this time, Germany had to put its hopes on China, hoping that China would also increase its investment in the naval field. However, China said that China's naval development has already made specific plans. All countries are announcing that it will vigorously develop.
When it comes to the navy, China will certainly not openly join the arms race. Of course, China actually does not invest less in the navy than in other countries. In order to ensure victory in future wars, China must maintain a strong team.
Only the navy can do it! After the Chinese Navy's "Han-class" battleship and "Han-sin-class" fast battleships were put into service, the Chinese Navy will also have twenty powerful battleships and three battlecruisers. In terms of combat power, it is no longer comparable
Any country is missing. At the same time, the next-level battleship of the Chinese Navy is also in full swing. However, with the current technical conditions, it will take some time to meet Wang Yuze's requirements.
After the Middle East War between China and Britain and France ended, with China's support, the Saudi Kingdom launched a war to unify the Alibaba Peninsula. It will bring the British colonies Yasir, Yemen, Muscat Sultanate, the Emirate of Oman to the south.
All countries were included in the sphere of rule. After Britain withdrew from the Arabian Peninsula, these small countries had no strength to confront the Saudi Kingdom supported by China. The Saudi Kingdom's 100,000 troops were enough to sweep these countries.
According to the agreement signed by China and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, China will station two divisions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The 10th Marine Division is stationed in the Kazakhstan area and surrounds the oil fields in the Persian Gulf. The 9th Marine Division is stationed in the 9th Marine Division.
Jeddah, deterring the Red Sea and the western part of the Saudi Kingdom, and, when necessary, this division can quickly move northward and seize control of the Suez Canal. At the same time, the navy will also deploy a team in Zinjbar near the Persian Gulf and the Mande Strait.
Fleet. The former is to protect China's oil interests in the Persian Gulf, while the latter is to control the Mande Strait. When necessary, the Mande Strait can be blocked. For this reason, the Navy specially deployed a six-way team in Zinjibar.
Submarine force composed of submarines.
In addition, China and Egypt Khdiv Abbas II also signed a secret agreement, where China supports Egypt's independence from the Ottoman Empire, and at the same time, it supports the equipment of ten Egyptian infantry divisions free of charge. These equipment were all British troops seized on the battlefield.
In addition, China will provide Egypt with a low-interest loan of 100 million Chinese yuan to allow Abbas II to stabilize his rule. Abbas II promised that once China starts war with Britain and the United States again, Egypt will stand
On the Chinese side, attack the Suez Canal, or attack the British and French colonies in Europe.
China is very satisfied with this. Although it is unable to control the Suez Canal, it surrounds the Suez Canal. When necessary, it can easily seize control of the canal. China's strategy in the Middle East has achieved great success.
Britain withdrew from Persia and withdrew all the troops stationed in Persia to Afghanistan. At the same time, in order to consolidate its military strength in Afghanistan and India, Britain once again sent 100,000 troops from Turkey to Afghanistan and India to strengthen the British here.
The rule of the two colonies, of course, is more about guarding against China's ambitions.
However, China is already very satisfied with the gains this time. It is impossible to become a fat man in one bite, and China needs to slowly digest these benefits. China has no interest in Afghanistan for the time being. As for India, should I not touch it?
If you touch India, the UK will definitely fight against China. China is not ready yet and does not want to completely anger the UK.
In March, China announced that it had discovered a huge oil field in southern Kuwait, with an estimated reserve of around 10 billion tons. Suddenly, whether it was the UK that transferred Kuwait to China or the low price of 1 million Chinese yuan.
Jabir, who transferred Kuwait's oil extraction power to China, regretted it to death!
