2895 Bargain
Puff... cough cough...
Beismai was completely defeated by Xiao Lotte's shamelessness. He was choked by the smoke of the cigar and coughed, "You are too greedy! Do you think I don't have an IQ?"
"North of Hue is a wild land that Western forces have not managed before. It is a place where the French are too lazy to want. It is the territory of the Ruan royal family, and they have always lived according to the traditions of the Middle Ages..."
"The richest one is of course south of Hue, but you will leave as soon as you open your mouth? Don't dream anymore. It's impossible. There is no such reason..."
"Hey hey... Why are you still anxious?" Xiao Letian rubbed his hands and smiled, "Do you do business? Let's still counter the price. How do you tell me..."
France's colony in Annan will definitely not be preserved. The Chinese and Prussia will definitely divide France's colony in the world. I dare not say that they all shave away, but they cannot leave much.
It is worth mentioning that this man from Besmer was not a colonial madman, he was a very rational politician. Without Xiao Lotte, Besmer didn't even want a piece of French overseas colony after the war.
What Besmer wants is your native French Alsace and Lorraine!
This is the excellence of mature politicians. Besmai knows how much food to eat should match your digestive ability, and he also understands that too much steps will cause you to get rid of the eggs.
When Pesmai walks steadily, he eats what he can digest in front of him firmly into his mouth, and then digests it and officially becomes his own flesh and blood, rather than being as small and violent as Japanese, with short-sighted eyes, big eyes and small belly.
Bismer knew very well that the Prussian navy would take a long time to develop. Without the protection of a powerful navy, the excessive overseas colonies would be a burden.
So what Besmer wants is a large amount of war reparations and European land bordering Germany!
In real history, when Bismeer proposed the price to cede Alsace and Lorraine, Empress Eugenie, the wife of the emperor who was in the UK who was taking refuge in politics, once wrote a letter to the Iron-blooded Prime Minister.
In the letter, the queen asked Besmaigao to give up her hands in a pleading tone. The queen even proposed to exchange Alsace and Lorraine with the two colonies of Annan and French India.
But unexpectedly, Bisme was not fooled at all. He rejected the queen's proposal and resolutely wanted to cede the two northeastern provinces of France!
It’s pragmatic, it’s really pragmatic! The Germans’ pragmatic spirit, or conservative spirit, are fully reflected here.
In contrast, Japan in Asia, the first country to enter industrialization, and to put it bluntly, it was to let itself die. These short legs had no strategic mind at all.
During the entire rise of Japan, the only person who understands it is Hirofumi Ito, and only he understands that occupying and digesting are completely different things.
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan obtained North Korea and Taiwan. At that time, Hirobuki Ito all his energy was to manage these two newly obtained lands well.
He suppressed the military's ambitions and forcibly promoted Japanese culture in the newly occupied land. Both the text and living customs began to be forcibly promoted, and even the styles of buildings began to be unified.
There is a history that even said that after Hirobuki Ito was assassinated, he once issued a will when his life was dying. He asked his heirs to swear that no war of aggression could be launched within a hundred years and that North Korea and Taiwan must be fully managed first.
A hundred years is enough for the indigenous people on those two pieces of land to forget their language and writing, and forget their past clothes and folk customs. A hundred years is enough for them to recognize the fact that they are Japanese.
Digested well and let those two pieces of land truly turn into Japanese muscles and muscles, rather than the fat that is dragged down!
It was not until then that Japan could launch a new war!
But unfortunately, his heirs could not suppress the crazy Bushido spirit at all. The subsequent events proved the tyranny of this country. They ate desperately like gluttons, and finally completely burst into their stomachs.
At the end of World War II, the vast land occupied by Japan was unimaginable. It was the ambition in the hearts of the Japanese for thousands of years!
But what's the use? It's just that the map is beautiful. All occupied land cannot be effectively ruled, but instead consumes the vitality accumulated by Japan over a hundred years.
After the United States joined the war, Japan finally returned to its territory before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895!
A hundred years are a great dream of spring and autumn!
Xiao Letian understands politicians like Beismai too much. Extremely pragmatic politicians are actually very easy to deal with because they are not arrogant because they know where their strengths and weaknesses lie.
What Prussia lacks at present is the great navy. If the French and Asian colonies want to manage them well, they must rely on the power of the Chinese.
So Xiao Letian could boldly bargain with Pesmai. The Vietnamese Ruan royal family would never have dreamed that their future national destiny was decided by two men who had never known each other and had never even been to Vietnam.
And how ridiculous the scene of this decision was. In the dark night, two politicians were smoking cigars and whispering like thieves in the night wind. Ten steps away were soldiers of the guards in a ring-mounted manner, and vigilantly protected the two.
After half an hour of bargaining, the two reached a consensus that Prussia and the Chinese took Nha Trang, Vietnam as the dividing line, the south was controlled by the Chinese, and the more barren north was ruled by Prussia.
Of course, Cam Ranh Bay belongs to Xiao Lotte, but Pessim has also obtained Danang, which is also a very excellent port. In the future, the German navy will also have a place to settle in Asia.
In addition, Saigon and Hanoi, the two largest cities in Vietnam, are defined as free cities, and both parties can operate at will, sharing rights and responsibilities!
At this point, Vietnam has been divided up and there is no chance of turning around again!
When the division was finally reached, Xiao Letian said shamelessly, "The French power of Siam's national strength... do you want it? If you don't want it, I will take it away..."
Beismai frowned, "Siam is divided by Britain and France at this moment. If you accept the French colony, you will have to face the pressure from the British..."
"You have such a big appetite, be careful not to laugh at me when you look back! Don't underestimate the British's ambition to control, they have always been staring at you!"
Xiao Letian curled his lips, "You just need to admit my rights in the end. As for how to deal with the British, I still have a sense of responsibility!"
Siam is currently under the rule of Emperor Chulalongkorn. This king is a reformist, but also a cedestiny. Under his rule, Laos, which originally belonged to Siam, was cut off by the French.
In addition, he also cedeed the land in the four provinces on the Malay Peninsula to Britain. It was this step-by-step cemetery that barely maintained the integrity of the Siam regime.
Such a king is not difficult to deal with, and Xiao Letian has no appetite. All he wants is four or five hundred square kilometers of land where the Isthmus of Kra isthmus is located.
