1825 My New Daming

Chapter 140 Anti-colonialism is an doctrine, and anti-colonialism is also a business! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

"No, no, no, little Louis, you still don't understand the meaning of anti-colonialism." Zhuge Weijiu looked at Louis XVI's mixed-race son, with a doting expression on his old face, and his voice softened a lot, " Anti-colonialism is both a doctrine and a business. It is still a big business, and there are many interests in it. If the Kingdom of France is to be revived, it must do a good job in the anti-colonial business!"

"Anti-colonial business?" The Duke of Marseille looked at Zhuge Weijiu in puzzlement, "Yafu, how do you do this business?"

Zhuge Weijiu smiled and waved to Zhuge Weixue, who immediately handed the two documents to the Duke of Marseille.The Duke of Marseille took a look at the document, and it turned out to be two transfer agreements written in Chinese and French.The things to be transferred in these two agreements are the castle and land in the Rhineland region held by the Zhuge family, as well as the Suez Canal shares held by the Zhuge family.

And the transferee in the agreement is the French Bourbon Dynasty!
Of course, this transfer is not free, and the Bourbon dynasty needs to pay tens of millions of silver dollars or long-term bonds for this.Although the asking price is not low, the stake in the Suez Canal and the castles and land in the Rhineland region are all strategic assets for the Kingdom of France, and their value cannot be measured by money at all.

Needless to say, the Suez Canal is the throat of trade between the East and the West, and it is also one of the two major throats of the Mediterranean!And France is the most powerful country along the Mediterranean Sea, not one of them.

In addition, Spain is now ruled by the Bourbon dynasty, which is a branch of the French Bourbon dynasty. The relationship between the two Bourbons is very close.And the Strait of Gibraltar, another throat of the Mediterranean, is right next to Spain's mouth!

If France can control the Suez Canal, and Spain can take back Gibraltar, which was seized by the United Kingdom, then the Mediterranean Sea will be named Bourbon?
As for the land and castles in the Rhineland region, this is of little significance to the Zhuge family of the Ming Dynasty. It is nothing more than some manors that do not make much profit.But for the Bourbon dynasty, it is a shortcut to restore the former glory of France!
Because since the time of Louis XIV, the Rhineland region has become a territory that France and the Holy Roman Empire competed with each other. Later, Napoleon broke up the Holy Roman Empire, and the Rhineland region was once merged into France.Although after the collapse of the Napoleonic Empire, the Rhineland region became the territory of Prussia, but France's influence there is still there. Austria, which lost the Holy Roman Empire, was not reconciled to the rich Rhineland being taken by Prussia. It was also difficult for Prussia to control the Rhineland for a while.The Zhuge family of the Ming Empire did not know why, but it has been trying to buy land and castles in the Rhineland since 100 years ago. Over time, it has mastered [-] to [-]% of the real estate in the Rhineland.

Once these properties fall into the hands of the Bourbon dynasty, it means that the power of France returns to the Rhineland!

Moreover, coal mines with huge reserves have been found around the Rhineland property owned by the Zhuge family. According to the characteristics of the distribution of coal mines, there should also be large coal fields under the land owned by the Zhuge family.In addition, the land of the Zhuge family happened to occupy the water and land main road for the Rhineland coal mine transportation, which was of great strategic value.

"Father," the Duke of Marseille said, frowning, looking at the document in his hand, "after all, France is not the era of Louis XIV or Napoleon."

"What if you add Rakshasa?"

"Add Rakshasa?" The Duke of Marseille looked up at his Yafu.

Zhuge Weijiu said with a smile: "The Christian region colonized by the Turkish Empire is not only Greece, but also Serbia, Macedonia, Rumelia, Bulgaria, Wallachia, Moldavia, and the city of Emperor Constantinople. !
If Greece wants to be independent and liberated, should other Christian regions colonized by Turkey be liberated?On the issue of liberating colonies, you European powers cannot engage in double standards! "

"Liberate Constantinople? Wouldn't the Raksha Kingdom?" The Duke of Marseille took a breath, "Would the UK not agree?"

Zhuge Weijiu smiled: "Whether Britain agrees has nothing to do with the deal between us, as long as France can speak out for all the Christian countries and regions conquered by the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and at the same time is willing to support Egypt as the backbone of the revival of the Arab Empire, The Zhuge Family's shares in the Suez Canal and assets in the Rhineland can be transferred to the Bourbon Dynasty!

In addition, Ali Pasha was also pro-French, and there were a large number of French officers who had served Emperor Napoleon in his army.If the Bourbons were willing to support Ali Pasha, Egypt would also become a friend of France.Once the Arab Empire is revived, France will naturally gain considerable benefits in North Africa. Of course, in order to revive the Arab Empire, Ali Pasha took out some land in North Africa to trade with France, which has nothing to do with colonialism.And France can completely localize the acquired North African land. "

"That's right." The Duke of Marseilles considered it carefully, and did not give a direct answer (he is not a king, of course he can't give an answer), but changed the question, "Yafu, will the relationship between Daming and Britain be soon?" A full-scale war broke out? If Ming Dynasty does not intend to go to war with Britain, do we need France and Austria to mediate together?"

Zhuge Weijiu said: "Whether Ming Dynasty will break out of an all-out war with Britain depends entirely on whether Britain is willing to prohibit the trade of criminal pornographic films."

"It's a piece of shit again?" The Duke of Marseille was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Da Jin used the piece of shit as an excuse to harass India and demanded a compensation of 2100 million silver dollars from the British Empire. You Ming also use the shit piece to talk about things, but this piece of shit is here Daming and Dajin aren’t too rampant in the country, so why do your two countries hate pornography so much? Could it be that you really fought the British because of pornography?”

Thinking of this, the Duke of Marseilles asked again: "Yafu, is the only ban on the trade of sex films? Do you have any other requirements?"

"There are two more!" Zhuge Weijiu nodded, and stretched out two fingers with a smile, "First, we also ask Britain to allow the Ming Navy to carry out the task of banning smoking and combating piracy in the Strait of Malacca, and to lend a seaport as a The base of the Ming Navy in the Strait of Malacca.

Second, the United Kingdom must also open Sydney, Perth, and Hobart as treaty ports, allow Ming businessmen to buy land, open factories and business houses in the above three places, allow Daoist priests of the Ming Dynasty to preach freely there, and must also allow the Ming Navy The warships are free to enter and leave the port there! "

This requirement is not low!
The Duke of Marseille thought: "The Strait of Malacca is the gateway of Britain to guard India. How could it allow the Ming Navy to enter? The businessmen of the Ming Dynasty almost control all the industries on both sides of the Strait of Malacca. If the Navy of the Ming Dynasty enters again, it will be difficult to say whose territory the Strait of Malacca belongs to." It is even more impossible to open Australia’s Sydney, Perth and Hobart. There are not many British people in Australia. If Ming businessmen are allowed to come and go freely, Han Chinese will become the first race in Australia in a few years!”

However, the Duke of Marseille nodded and said: "Yafu, your old friend He Shen and uncle also came to France a few days ago, and they came with Grand Duke Mikhail. The purpose is also to negotiate with the British to ban pornography. In the matter of trade, I still need to claim 2100 million silver dollars. How about this? My brother and Mr. Mei Xiang from Austria will take the lead together and hold a conference on women’s movies in Versailles. Representatives from Ming Dynasty, Dajin, Britain, and Japan will be invited. Let's discuss it together, what do you think?"

Zhuge Weijiu waved his hands with a smile, and said, "There is nothing Japan has to do here. There are only three parties involved: Ming, Dajin, and the United Kingdom. In addition, France, Austria, and the Raksha Kingdom can participate in the negotiation together as mediators."
