On March 20, Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang met with German Ambassador to China Lucas. After receiving a notice from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lucas was a little surprised. Because of his relationship with the Chinese royal family, Lucas still had a very influential influence in China.
It is only because as the relationship between Germany and China slowly entered a deadlock, these influences were also declining rapidly. This is undoubtedly what Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries are willing to see! The strength of the Allies is obviously stronger than that of the Allies.
But if China joins the allies to fight, the outcome of the future war will be unpredictable! Therefore, the relationship between China and Germany is getting worse and worse, which is exactly what Britain, France, the United States and Russia have hoped for.
"Oh! I don't know if the domestic strategy is correct. Without China's help, it would be very difficult for the Empire to defeat Britain and France!" Lucas sat in the car heading to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, secretly ignited.
I thought. Since last year, a series of foreign policies in Germany have caused a crack in the relationship between China and Germany!
"Hello, Mr. Lucas!" After being invited to Wu Tingfang's office by his secretary, Lucas saw Wu Tingfang greeting him with a smile on his face. This made him a little wary. According to the Chinese, he would be diligent in his heart if he had nothing to do.
Either a traitor or a thief!
"Hello, Lord Wu Tingfang!" Lucas also had a smile on his face.
"Hisser Wu Tingfang, don't you know what's wrong with seeing me this time?" After a greeting, Lucas asked straight to the point.
"Mr. Lucas, this is the case. The empire needs Germany's help now!" Wu Tingfang said.
Lucas felt tight and then asked calmly: "Germany is an ally of China. If there is a place in need of help, Germany will definitely not postpone it. Of course, this needs to be within Germany's ability!"
"It's so, Mr. Lucas, the Empire knows. Germany is supporting Lisardo Garcia of Ecuador to seize the regime in Ecuador, right?" Wu Tingfang asked.
"That's right!" Lucas nodded. He guessed in his heart, was the Chinese ready to expand into South America after the expansion of Europe and Africa was blocked? For Germany,
Not a good thing! South America is an important market for Germany. In Africa and other regions, it has become a colony of Britain and France. South America, which have been independent through revolution, has become a rising industry like Germany.
An important market for a strong country. Of course, the same is true for the United States. Germany has entered South America with a large amount of capital, plundering cheap raw materials from South America, and then reselling goods to South America. Making huge profits. If China wants to enter South America, it will inevitably be
It will cause serious damage to Germany's interests.
"Mr. Lucas, the Americans are stepping up the construction of the Panama Canal, I believe you already know that it is! Once the canal is opened, it can certainly promote economic development. However, the US Navy can also quickly reach the West Coast through the canal. This is for
For our country, it is a huge threat! Therefore, after research, the Imperial Navy and the General Staff decided that we need to obtain a naval base in the Central and American regions to curb the US Navy. Once the United States dares to enter the Pacific Ocean through the Panama Canal,
We will destroy them as soon as possible!" Wu Tingfang said seriously. Before, Wang Yuze had always regarded the United States as China's number one enemy. Many important officials of the empire could not understand. Compared with the United States' industrial strength, the United States' military strength is too strong
It's bad. However, by observing the development of the United States in recent years, everyone has agreed with Wang Yuze's point of view. After Theodore Roosevelt came to power, the United States' military strength has developed greatly. The Navy has planned to build twenty
Many new battleships, the Army plans to maintain a standing military force of 40 divisions and 500,000 people, and can be expanded to more than three million people during wartime. If China wants to gain world hegemony, the United States will undoubtedly be
One of China’s biggest obstacles!
Lucas was silent. He now understood what Wu Tingfang meant that China needed to build a military base on the territory of Ecuador. Therefore, it needed to get support from Germany. Of course, this military base was certainly used to curb the United States.
But in the same way, this will also deepen China's influence in South America. Once China intends to take action against South America, it will definitely save a lot of trouble if it has a military base.
"I don't know where China intends to build the base?" Lucas asked.
"After research, we plan to go to Santa Cruz Island in the Ecuadorian Concession. Please rest assured that this is an island thousands of kilometers away from Ecuador. We have no ambitions for Ecuador!" Wu Tingfang said.
Lucas nodded, but he didn't believe Wu Tingfang's words. Although China has the largest population and the largest market in the world. However, with the continuous development of China's industry, they will sooner or later need overseas markets.
At that time, South American countries such as Ecuador will definitely become China's target.
"Mr. Lucas, Your Majesty has nodded to this military base. The Navy has also made up its mind. If we cannot obtain this military base through peaceful means, the Navy may take more radical measures!" Wu Tingfang reminded him.
.
Lucas couldn't help but change his face. The home port of the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet is only 7,000 kilometers away from Santa Cruz Island in Ecuador. With the speed of the Chinese Navy, it can be reached in a maximum of ten days. And now
Ecuador is in chaos. If the Chinese want to seize Santa Cruz Island, or even more places, Ecuador has no way to stop it! Wu Tingfang's words clearly revealed that China must obtain Santa Cruz Island.
.Unless Germany is willing to fight against China for Ecuador, no one can stop such a thing from happening. Can Germany fight against China? Not to mention the relationship between the two sides and the comparison of the naval strength of both sides, Germany
If the navy wants to get to Ecuador from Europe, it will be nearly 20,000 kilometers. The Chinese Navy can wait for it to work and achieve another brilliant victory. What's more, fighting against China for Ecuador is simply not worth it.
"His Excellency Wu Tingfang, I already understand what China means, and I will contact the country. I personally have no objection to China's naval base in Santa Cruz. And after the Panama Canal is opened, Americans can invest
More power is expanding in South America, and China's establishment of military bases in Central America is very useful for curbing the expansion of Americans!" Lucas said. Since it cannot be stopped, Germany can only think about the better.
"It is best to be able to obtain German support. As long as Lisardo Garcia agrees to hand over Santa Cruz to us, China will fully support him as the president of Ecuador!" Wu Tingfang also expressed his opinion.
Lucas did not argue about this. With China's support, it would be easier for Lisardo Garcia to defeat Leonidas Prasa, supported by the Americans. Once Lisardo Garcia becomes Ecuador
The president, then Germany will be rewarded with great rewards!
After sending Lucas away, Wu Tingfang summoned Colombian Ambassador to China Carlos Marin. As long as Germany agrees, it is a foregone conclusion that China will obtain Santa Cruz Island. Then, there is only another military base left.
It's right.
Colombian Ambassador to China Carlos Marin was also very strange after receiving the notice from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The relationship between Colombia and China is very common. Generally, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs will invite him to attend when holding a cocktail party.
But in addition, he had very few opportunities to meet Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang. The relationship between China and Colombia was only maintained in China as soon as possible, and then exported some industrial products to Colombia. The annual trade volume of the two sides
, very few. After all, the entire South American market is almost in the hands of Europe.
"His Excellency Wu Tingfang, I am very happy to see you!" After seeing Wu Tingfang, Carlos Marin immediately greeted respectfully. Although China is very far away from Colombia, the powerful China is still something that Colombia can only look up to!
"Hello, Mr. Marin!" Wu Tingfang invited Carlos Marin to the sofa in the reception area of the office.
Afterwards, the two started chatting from all over the world, which made Carlos Marin a little confused. As the Chinese Foreign Minister, Wu Tingfang was obviously very busy every day, and it was impossible to summon him just to chat with him!
"His Excellency Marin, I heard that Americans have always wanted to subvert your country's regime?" Wu Tingfang said suddenly.
"Well? Mr. Wu Tingfang, the Americans have split Panama from Colombia. However, their ambitions for Colombia have not been extinguished. However, Colombia will not surrender!" said Carlos Marin.
"His Excellency Marin, you know that our relationship with China and the United States has always been very tense. Therefore, we China are willing to help Colombia and resist the invasion of the United States!" Wu Tingfang said.
"Mr. Wu Tingfang, I'm so grateful!" Carlos Marin said with a hurried smile. At the same time, he was secretly alert in his heart that there was no free lunch in the world, and the Chinese obviously wouldn't be so kind. If Americans say that
If it is a jackal, the Chinese are even more of a tiger.
"His Excellency Marin, in order to cope with the expansion of Americans in South America, the empire needs to establish a naval base in South America. After our analysis, Tumaco, the province of Nalinho, your country is very suitable!" Wu Tingfang finally showed that
It shows China's intention! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please read it.)
