4413 The golden age of 1873
The great victory of Dihua and the great victory of Yili directly laid the foundation for the century-old security of the border of the Western Regions of the Qing Dynasty. Even Xiao Letian breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived here.
"I finally got to do these things before the Siberian Railway was built. It was too dangerous and too dangerous!"
Without the energy to be a human being for two lifetimes, I don’t know how dangerous such a strategy is. Xiao Letian is really trying to get his life!
In fact, he was just betting in the Far East War. He couldn't bet even if he didn't, because participating in the Franco-Prussian War and reaching an advanced strategic alliance with Germany is a fundamental plan that must not be changed!
Why do we have to work closely with Germany? Because this time point is the period of Germany's rise, and the era when Germany has gone from weak to powerful!
Only by investing when others are weak and you can gain more benefits when you become stronger!
And there is no way. Germany was a star country during the Second Industrial Revolution. At that time, Germany's scientific and technological level and industrial efficiency were much higher than those in the UK!
If the Chinese want technological breakthroughs and industrial development, there is no better choice if they don’t look for Germany!
But if you want to fight with the Legal Perspective, you have to ensure peace in your hometown. The Far East Polar Bear is ready to move. Do you think Xiao Letian can take the main force to Europe with peace of mind?
If he didn't crippled this polar bear, he wouldn't dare to leave Asia and go to Europe for adventure!
This is all tied up one after another. When Xiao Letian started the Far East War, he actually bullied you that the Tsarist Russian Railway has not been built yet!
You can't be arrogant! Xiao Letian knew very well how tragic the Russo-Japanese War was in the Northeast back then. The quality of Tsarist Russian soldiers was too strong. As long as his logistics supply conditions could barely reach the passing line, you would not be able to defeat him!
If Xiao Letian traveled a little later and the Siberian Railway had been completed, then his overall strategy would have to be changed!
With that railway, Asia has no country that can challenge Tsarist Russia at all. It is a miracle to force a draw!
Fortunately, the country's fortune is still there, and fortunately, Xiao Letian traveled through time earlier!
The Tsarist Russian forces in Central Asia are actually a continuation of the Far East War. If Tsarist Russians in the Far East can’t fight anymore, they can only find ways to get some benefits from Central Asia, of course, the purpose is Gwadar Port in Balochistan!
Xiao Letian, no matter whether your Tsarist Russia is aiming for the Indian Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean, it is absolutely impossible if you want to use our Yili area as a springboard!
The strategy is still very clear, it is to bully you that the Siberian Railway has not been built into Central Asia, and the Cossacks in the Ili area will not get reinforcements!
Since you are still an isolated army, who will I hit you if I don’t? Not only will I kill you, but I will also use technology to kill you!
There are not many artillery pieces in front of you, but I have formed a group of artillery pieces in the back of you!
I am so rich and so arrogant. Anyway, France is reimbursing me for compensation. Who will you beat if you don’t?
"Hehe... Zaichun is already laughing crazy, right?" Xiao Letian put down the telegram and smiled.
Sima Yun and Xiao Hexin happened to be discussing with Xiao Letian here today. When they heard this, they laughed, "The King Bureau told us yesterday that the Forbidden City is almost a big circus in Europe!"
"The harem has three major shows at the same time, and there are also many performers in the street in front of Qianqing Gate. There are also officials in the palace watching it casually, and it is lively and lively..."
"The brand new silver dollars and copper coins proposed from the Ministry of Revenue have never flowed through... Boxes of them are spread on the stage and on the streets!"
"That's a lot of money. I heard that I fell three martial artists in a row, which made Zai Chun laugh... The palace is more lively than the New Year!"
Sima Yun took over the conversation and said, "This is nothing. Zaichun said that these opera troupes and art-selling teams have performed in the palace for a while, and have finished watching all their skills, and they have to go to the street to perform!"
"All people in the capital have to play the big show at the intersections where people come and go, performing the style of the overpass! And all the expenses are from the palace, and the people in the capital can watch it for free!"
"He will continue to struggle until the first month of the Chinese New Year..."
"All the elderly in the capital have a string of copper coins and wine and meat, and the widowed and disabled families have to share food... Zaichun's reputation is so high!"
"The Third Master's Qing Times can now bear the profits and losses. The series of reports written by the Guangdihua Victory made the people of the Qing Dynasty crazy!"
"The newspapers that were not subscribed to before were now lined up to pay for the money to subscribe! I guess there is another series of news about the Yili victory, and the Qing Dynasty will be profitable!"
"Zaichun is not bad. He finally controlled his own throat. Public opinion is no longer the position of those Qingliu people!"
Xiao Letian listened and smiled, "Okay... It's good that he's happy. No wonder he sent me a telegram the day before yesterday and kept asking me to go to the capital to play!"
"He has really tasted the sweetness! The sweetness of being in power... No matter him, we must take advantage of the current honeymoon period to speed up the construction of our special zone!"
"Haha... before his good days end, we must make all the preparations!"
The three of them looked at each other and said nothing, then laughed out loud!
At this moment, the door of the study was knocked, and Director Wang hurried in with a secret telegram, "Head of charge! Tanggu urgent telegram... Tsarist Russian Minister Ulan Geli suddenly took the Tianjin cruise ship to Naha without any news!"
"Hmm? Ulangeli is here in Naba? Have you not reported any notification yet?" Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun were stunned for a moment and asked.
Director Wang nodded and looked at Xiao Letian, "The Head of State... Will he let him go ashore? Did he forcefully break in without reporting to us?"
"When he gets off the boat, we can completely refuse him to land... Who told him not to report to the embassy without the identity procedures?"
Xiao Letian smiled bitterly and said, "How can this work? He is a minister of a country, not an ordinary person. You have to stop him. It sounds bad if he spreads it!"
The Chinese people also have rules. This is a formal country and its customs system!
The Chinese people have their own identity paper, which is equivalent to the certificate of the household registration card of later generations. With this thing, you can pass freely in the area controlled by the Chinese!
If the people of the Qing Dynasty want to come to the Chinese territory, they need to go through the procedures. Generally, there are two types, one is the best temporary pass!
Those who visit relatives and friends or occasionally pass through the border will apply for this kind of application. Those who do business for a long time or come to Chinese to study abroad must go through long-term procedures, one year or three years!
Including those who come to Chinese, you must declare in advance. If you do not declare in advance, the customs will have the right to expel you!
As a diplomat, Ulangeli could not have understood the rules of the Chinese, but he still insisted on breaking through, which means he was completely anxious!
Chapter completed!
