Chapter 422 The Allies VS Allies

The turmoil in the United States has triggered another new round of public opinion war of words around the world.

The British Empire has completely stopped being honest and supported the Grant military government, and described the coup as maintaining justice, beautified white terrorist actions into eliminating rebellions, and packaged Grant as an angel to save the American people.

Due to the unique political relationship between the British Empire in Europe, the public opinion of most European countries is consistent with the British Empire. Only the German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire maintain cooperation, criticize the American coup, and fight against the Western media led by the British Empire across the air.

Many times, people's words are terrifying, and the story of three people becoming tigers is thought-provoking.

If a person hears everyone around him saying that his neighbor stole his wife, what will happen? Of course, he is trying hard to find his neighbor. His neighbor said it was a misunderstanding and would inevitably get beaten up. If his neighbor is equally strong, then the two people will fight to the point where they are out of control.

Similarly, for the international community, every country will be kidnapped by public opinion. Whether it is its own domestic public opinion or international public opinion, whether it is true or false, once a general sense of identity among the people is formed, it will be difficult to change.

The long-term war between China and Britain and the opposing public opinion war have long formed a sense of hostility for the people of both countries. When Chinese people mention the enemy, the first thing they think of is the British Empire. Similarly, the British will also regard the Chinese Empire as their enemy at the first time.

Nowadays, as China and Britain fight a public opinion war on the issue of the United States and form cliques everywhere, a hostile camp is rapidly formed.

The Chinese Empire was led by the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the fifteen foreign kingdoms of the Chinese Empire.

The British Empire is headed by the United States, the Japanese Empire, the Tsarist Russian Empire, the French Empire, the Dutch Republic, as well as members of the Commonwealth countries such as Canada and India.

The large-scale public opinion war between the two camps accelerated the overall hostile situation of the two camps.

Half a year later, Grant successfully controlled the situation in the United States and completely drove the democrats out of politics, and the republicans were dictatorial.

After half a year of social turmoil, the American economy has suffered a heavy blow, economic losses of hundreds of millions of new dollars, and a large number of resources controlled by the democrats have been plundered or occupied.

The Morgan family suffered the most heavy losses, because there is a saying in America that the Republicans belong to the Rockefeller family and the Democrats belong to the Morgan family.

However, the Morgan family was powerful. Although it was hit hard by the Rockefeller family, most of its wealth was quickly transferred to the Chinese Empire's concession in the United States, Rhode Island and Key West with the help of the Chinese Empire.

At the same time, hundreds of companies controlled by the democrats transferred their employees and funds to the Chinese Concession area, temporarily avoiding looting by Grant's army.

However, Sino-US relations were tense, and Rhode Island and Key West were not a long-term place. So, under the leadership of the Cleveland and the Morgan family, a large number of the assets of the democrats were quickly transferred to the Chinese Empire, investing in and setting up factories in the Chinese Empire to provide funds for the democrats' army.

Invisibly, the amount of overseas investment in the Chinese Empire soared by 2.5 billion new US dollars during the period from April to the end of December, and most of it came from direct investment by American merchants, equivalent to RMB 250 million.

The report from the Ministry of Commerce of the Ministry of Revenue Department made the ministers of the Chinese Empire happy, especially Zhang Peilun, praised the wise decision of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Li Weiguo, and cooperated with the American democrats in a timely manner, thus causing the huge amount to be invested in the Chinese Empire.

A huge investment of 250 million yuan, and it is all direct investment. The people who benefited directly in a short period of time were the citizens of the Chinese Empire, providing at least 20,000 jobs, which instantly solved the employment situation of college students of the 3988th year of the Chinese Empire, which led to the employment rate of 100%, and even shortage of people. Previous college graduates, even high school and middle school graduates solved their work problems, and the Chinese Empire government did not need to arrange other jobs.

Li Weiguo specially met with Cleveland and Morgan and his group at the Kanqing Palace, and immediately announced that the Chinese Empire would provide political asylum to American politicians such as Cleveland, and provide visa-free green cards for American persecuted persons such as Morgan and other American persecuted businessmen. Morgan and other American persecuted businessmen enjoy the same treatment as those of the Chinese Empire.

This move made American democrats very grateful, especially those who were persecuted American citizens such as Morgan, who were exempted from visa-free green cards from the Chinese Empire, which means that as long as you live in the Chinese Empire for five years, abide by the law and do not violate the law during the period, and invest more than 10,000 yuan, you can apply to join the Chinese Empire's nationality.

In this era, under this time and space, the unprecedented prosperity of the Chinese Empire gave the people all over the world the impression that they were rich, had good living conditions, and had unprecedented military strength. They did not have to worry about the threat of war, and social security and stability, and provided the people with a strong personal security guarantee, as well as political stability, freedom of public opinion, etc., which not only conformed to the living values ​​of Eastern people, but also met the living values ​​of Western people, so they became a holy land on earth that people all over the world yearned for.

Countless rich foreigners are rushing to invest in the Chinese Empire, thus obtaining the green card of the Chinese Empire. After five years, they can officially join the Chinese Empire's nationality and enjoy superior domestic and international treatment. They are all proud to be a citizen of the Chinese Empire.

The Chinese Empire is like a big magnet, attracting wealthy people and talents from Europe and the United States, and growing like a snowball.

Grant was very angry about the Chinese Empire providing political asylum to American democrats such as Cleveland. He summoned the Chinese Empire's ambassador to the United States to protest, and made solemn representations to the Chinese Empire through the American ambassador to China, demanding that the Chinese Empire cancel political asylum to Cleveland and other democrats.

The Chinese Empire obviously ignored this and instead demanded that Grant step down and restore the American democratic system.

Grant was immediately angry and prepared to take measures to retaliate against the Chinese Empire.

Not long after, the Grant government announced that the Chinese were unpopular people in the United States and suspended business visas and travel visas for Chinese citizens to go to the United States. At the same time, a blockade was set up near Rhode Island to prevent American nationals from entering Rhode Island.

In response, the Chinese Empire filed a solemn protest against Grant, but the negotiations failed and Grant was tough.

Li Weiguo was even more afraid of being tough and immediately took countermeasures and ordered more severe comprehensive economic sanctions against the United States.

The French Empire has always been a porter in the East and West worlds, importing materials from the Chinese Empire and then reselling them to Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries to make huge profits.

In the past, the Chinese Empire acquiesced France to do this because it would delay France's time to join the British, American and Japanese group.

This is because the German Empire faced too much military pressure. According to the agreement reached by Li Weiguo and Bismarck, at Bismarck's request, the construction of the German Empire's military power has not been completed. I hope that the Chinese Empire will strengthen the restraining of the French Empire and give the German Empire enough time to develop.

After all, the German Empire lasted only twenty years, and the German Empire became truly powerful in history from 1910 to World War I. It was precisely because Germany was powerful that it could not fear the British-French alliance that it dared to provoke World War I.

But now, despite the Chinese Empire strongly helping the German Empire, the time is still short.

According to Li Weiguo's inference, the maritime military power of the German Empire was a shortcoming and it could only truly rise in at least 1895 and become a force that could compete with the British Empire's navy.

Therefore, as long as the Chinese Empire gives France the benefits, it acquiescedly allows France to transport some non-military materials and sensitive technologies to Britain, the United States and Japan.

But this time, Li Weiguo warned the French Empire that it was not allowed to transport supplies to the United States, otherwise economic sanctions would be imposed on the French Empire.

The French Emperor Napoleon III was so angry that he overturned the table. His attitude became increasingly inclined to join the British-American-Japanese Allied Group because he found that the German Empire was developing too fast, far beyond the French Empire. Especially with the help of the Chinese Empire, the French Empire felt that it was beyond the reach of the world. In the long run, France would eventually be completely abandoned by Germany, and it would be nowhere near to be found in the future.

Because Li Weiguo rewrites the history of the Franco-Prussian War, the French Emperor Napoleon III was not captured, the Second French Empire did not perish, and the French Republic did not appear.

It is precisely because France is still an imperial system, not a republic system, that the attitude of Emperor Napoleon III is easier to determine the direction of the French Empire.

Napoleon III's anger made him lose his rational judgment. He immediately ordered the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with Britain and the United States and offer conditions to join the British and American alliance.

At the same time, Napoleon III asked the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs to deliberately release rumors to let the Chinese Empire know that the French Empire was negotiating with Britain, the United States and Japan to join the British, American and Japanese group.

Napoleon III's intention was to threaten the Chinese Empire and give some benefits, so that the French Empire would re-evaluate whether to join the British, American and Japanese group.

Unfortunately, Napoleon III made a mistake in his plan, how could the Chinese Empire be afraid of the declining French Empire?

When Li Weiguo learned about this, he just sighed. He had long guessed that the French Empire would eventually join the British, American and Japanese group, and it would be just a matter of time.

The Chinese Empire did not stop France from negotiating with Britain, the United States and Japan, which made Napoleon III stunned!

"Come and beg me quickly! As long as your Chinese Empire surrenders, I will suspend negotiations with Britain, the United States and Japan!"

In Versailles Palace, Napoleon III talked to himself like this every day, and he was almost crazy.

Unfortunately, the Chinese Empire did not come to ask for the French Empire from beginning to end, but only protested solemnly to the French Empire through diplomatic channels, but did not give France any benefits. Some military personnel of the Chinese Empire even made public remarks, hoping that the French Empire would join the British, American and Japanese group as soon as possible, otherwise the Chinese Empire would have no excuse to repair France.

This is to publicly humiliate France, and to humiliate the British, American and Japanese groups. The implication is that the British, American and Japanese groups are too weak, even if the French Empire is added, they are as weak as they are.

Napoleon III was furious. He ignored the opposition of his ministers and gave up extorting Britain, the United States and Japan, and directly reached a military alliance agreement with the United Kingdom, the United States and Japan.

On February 3, 1889, the French Empire Emperor Napoleon III officially signed the agreement on the four countries of Britain, the United States, France and Japan, announcing the establishment of the Allies of the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Japan.

The purpose of the Allies is to form a political alliance between Britain, France, the United States and Japan, and a military alliance. One side is subject to military attacks from hostile countries, and the other three sides will participate in the war and attack and defensive alliance.

This agreement is slightly different from the previous agreements between the United Kingdom, the United States and Japan.

The previous agreement between Britain, the United States and Japan was only when the local government was invaded by military forces, and all parties in the Allied Powers had the obligation to participate in the war.

Previously, the British Empire implemented a non-resistance policy against the Chinese Empire, and all the colonies were lost, so neither the United States nor the Japanese Empire had the obligation to send troops.

But this time it is clearly stipulated that whenever any of the four countries is attacked by the enemy, whether in their local or colonies, the other three parties are obliged to send troops to reinforce and interfere.

This means that if the Chinese Empire once again annexed the British Empire's colonies by step by step, it would be equivalent to going to war with Britain, the United States, Japan and France at the same time.

The entire international community suddenly became nervous, and its eyes were focused on the Forbidden City in the Far East, and speculated on how the Chinese Empire would respond.

Youdao's plan cannot keep up with the rapid changes. Li Weiguo originally thought that the Allies would be officially established at least two years. As a result, he miscalculated the French Emperor Napoleon III. This emperor who violated the two decided the future of the French Empire based on his own preferences.

However, although Li Weiguo was surprised, he was not afraid.

A month later, the four countries of the Chinese Empire, the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire announced the conclusion of the offensive and defensive alliance treaty, and declared the group of allies to the outside world.

After the establishment of the Allies, Li Weiguo immediately issued an order to freeze the Guba-class battleship built for the French Empire.

These four Guba-class battleships were almost completed. The Chinese Empire suddenly frozen them and did not give them to the French Navy, nor did they return the huge shipbuilding costs that the French Navy had already paid.

Tuotuo made a spoil of the French Empire!

The news came back to Versailles Palace, and when the Emperor Napoleon III heard it, he vomited three liters of blood.

Since the Chinese Empire also brought people to the Allied Group, the Tsarist Russian Empire could no longer live in peace with the Chinese Empire, so the Tsarist Russian Empire began to negotiate with the Allies.

However, the Tsar played a clever trick. Although he negotiated, he suspended the time of formal joining the Allies and prepared to drive the two battleships built in the Chinese Empire back to his country. The province committed the two like Napoleon III and lost four Guba-class battleships in vain.

However, what caused the Tsar to collapse was that the Chinese Empire had already been prepared and had not allowed the two Tsarist Russian battleships to be completed, nor did the Tsarist Russian Empire drive the battleships back to China.

The Tsar was finally stunned. He understood that the Chinese Empire might not have since the beginning, and had already designed it to cheat the Tsarist Russian Empire and the French Empire!

The joy that I had at the beginning instant turned into endless anger.

Ah puff!

Alexander III also vomited three liters of old blood, which suddenly became angry.
