The First Warlord of the Republic of China

The second is coming!

In later generations of Africa, only a few countries such as South Africa experienced economic colonization and thus developed well.Those African countries that have only accepted military colonization but not economic colonization are generally backward.

At the same time, Western countries destroyed the Congo in order to obtain ultra-cheap resources, and the Congo was thrown into chaos.For the Gulf of Aden waterway, the Somali Republic was destroyed.

For oil, divided Sudan, hit Libya. [

In Africa, the only country that has not been colonized is Ethiopia. Ethiopia has the largest plateau and mountains in Africa in its territory. It is known as the roof of Africa. It is also the country with the strongest dragon veins in Africa. This small dragon vein is already the most powerful dragon vein in Africa.

It is also the reason for this dragon vein that Ethiopians have not been colonized by Westerners.

At this time, China is in contact with Ethiopia and launching investment activities in Ethiopia, which is a key investment target in the African region.

As a country surrounded by Western colonists, Ethiopia was more than happy to face the olive branch offered by China. The two countries quickly established diplomatic relations, and the relationship quickly warmed up.

The Republic of China donates a batch of food and medicine to Ethiopia every year, but Ethiopia's system is a bit outdated, and many investments cannot be carried out.

At this time, Queen Zoditu was ruling Ethiopia. She was the illegitimate daughter of the Abyssinian emperor Menelik II and the only queen in Ethiopian history (officially titled "Queen of Kings") ; In 1913, his father, Menelik II, died of illness, and his half-sister's son, Eyasu V, succeeded to the throne; in 1916, Eyasu V was abolished, and he became the queen.

This was clearly another figure who had triumphed from court intrigue, only she relied on the help of the regent Haile Selassie.

As a traveler, Jiang Yu found out after consulting the information that this Haile Selassie was the last emperor of Serbia, Haile Selassie I.

He had a falling out with Queen Zoditu.It is because he is committed to reforming Ethiopia, and Queen Zoditu is a conservative.

Conservative, can better protect her monarch's interests.

After Haile Selassie traveled to Europe, he was envious of the prosperity and strength of Europe, and determined to carry out reforms in Africa.

At this time, Haile Selassie had not started to travel to Europe, and he had no desire for reform. Jiang Yu liked this kind of reformers, and only such people could support the establishment of economic colonization.

A conservative and corrupt monarch is not conducive to economic colonization.This kind of monarch is only suitable for being colonized by force, and Haile Selassie is a monarch who is committed to reform.It can be controlled through economic colonization.

This kind of control is very subtle, just like the Rothschild consortium controls those European royal families.

Therefore, Jiang Yu invited Haile Selassie to visit China in the summer of this year.Haile Selassie was a little flattered that China, as a rapidly rising power during the European War, has now become the leader of the weak and small countries in the world, and is called the "leader of the third world".

In recent years, China has been vigorously aiding concubines in third world countries.The national image is very just in the eyes of third world countries.

Serbia, as one of the countries that China has given great aid to, has a good relationship between the two sides. After receiving the invitation, Haile Selassie immediately decided to visit China.

He took two lions and three zebras on a ship to China in July of this year.

Since the signing of the secret agreement, the cooperation between the Republic of China and the Allied Powers has been carried out in a kind of silence.First, the Republic of China transported materials to the coast of Myanmar and Kuwait through the China-Myanmar Railway and the Central Asia Railway.

Then it is transported by merchant ships from the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean route to the ports in southern France.

The safest shipping route at this time is the Mediterranean route, although Germany's restricted submarine warfare is fierce in the Atlantic Ocean.However, the United Kingdom blocked the Strait of Gibraltar, planted a large number of anti-submarine torpedoes there, and at the same time deployed a large number of frigates in the Mediterranean for anti-submarine operations, which eliminated German submarines in the Mediterranean.

The safest shipping route for the Allies is the Mediterranean Sea.But this route is available to China, and some American merchant ships are also taking this route.But they have to go south from the east coast of the Americas to the South Atlantic Ocean, then bypass the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, sail across the coast of East Africa, and then enter the Suez Canal. The entire route is relatively long and the efficiency is greatly reduced, but it is better than safety.

Obviously, the United States is not as convenient as China on this route.

Since China provided a material loan of 15 billion pounds, the Allies once again obtained a large amount of materials from China. The export of these materials made the United States very jealous, but the United States did try to transport a large amount of materials to Europe at this time.

At this time, the UK can only reluctantly borrow money. Before that, the UK's debt was relatively balanced.

Although Britain borrowed 87 billion pounds from the United States, its finances are still in balance after taking into account the money Britain has lent to France and Russia.

As for the 70 billion internal government bonds, most of them are held by the Rothschild consortium.

But with Russia's repayment looming, that balance has been upset.

However, when the United States gave loans to Britain and France before, it seemed that the money did not have to be repaid, so the British now think that the money lent to them by the Yankees really does not have to be repaid.

Therefore, the British government only counts China's borrowings into its finances.

"We asked the Chinese to borrow a debt worth 8 million pounds of gold. After calculation, if we use 1% of our annual fiscal revenue to repay the loan, it will take us 30 years to repay the money. It was around 1950." The British cabinet made a calculation, which silenced all cabinet members.

In fact, this estimate is very inaccurate.

After the war, British talents discovered that their shipping industry, overseas investment industry, and overseas commodity market had all been severely impacted. The national income was reduced and industrial development was weak. All these reasons prevented the increase in fiscal revenue. To repay the money, It needs to be paid back until 1963, which is 43 years.

"Be patient for victory!"

……

China's ocean-going merchant ships began to be active in all oceans except the Atlantic Ocean. Because of the container handling technology used by Chinese merchant ships, the Allies allowed China to invest in container terminals in their ports.

This obviously provides conditions for China to monopolize global container handling, and even the container terminals in the United States allow Chinese investment.

Container terminals are very profitable.

Although this will increase the efficiency of transportation in Western countries.However, those container handling equipment are all exported from China, which is a very big business.

In the summer of this year, the total tonnage of China's ocean-going merchant ships has exceeded 1000 million tons. At the end of last year, it reached 800 million tons. Adding the 200 million tons of ocean-going merchant ships manufactured in the first half of the year, it has reached 1000 million tons. There is no suspense. It has become the world's largest ocean shipping country and has gradually closed its borders. [

At the same time, the tonnage of ocean-going merchant ships has also increased. In the first half of this year, a 45-ton ocean-going merchant ship was launched, and the cargo volume increased greatly due to the increase in tonnage.At the same time, the steam turbine saves fuel more.

In order to improve transportation efficiency, these merchant ships sail at a relatively fast speed during the voyage, which consumes more fuel.At the same time, the wear and tear is more severe.

However, the current transportation subcontracts some transportation tasks of the Allied countries, so the transportation capacity is not so sufficient, and it is not a problem to order more oil.

Fuel production prices are actually lower, especially after subcontracting part of the refining industry to Japan.

Wear and tear is not a problem.

At worst, go back to the factory for repairs.

These are petty gains.More important is China's occupation of the international market.

What followed was that Chinese products began to ravage the global market, and the South American market has always been a relatively weak area for Chinese products.

At this time, the United States transferred a large number of merchant ships to the Mediterranean Sea to transport Chinese materials for the war. Although American goods were shipped to South America by Chinese ships, the transportation capacity was reduced.

Chinese goods took the opportunity to invade South America on a large scale, with higher quality and lower prices.Quickly open the market in South America.

At the same time, Chinese goods also began to invade Canada, and great results were achieved in Canada.

The international markets that countries compete for are Asia, Oceania, South America, North America, Canada, and Africa.At this time, the Asian, Oceanian, and African markets are all occupied by China.

Canada, South America, and before that were occupied by the United States.

Now that Chinese goods are invading the Canadian and South American markets, it will naturally damage the interests of the United States.But during the war, the United States tried to mobilize more merchant ships to manage these markets.

China not only sent goods to Canada and South America, but also merchant ships brought back a large amount of raw materials for China.Especially the lack of iron ore.

And the rare earths that China has been importing, after these rare earths are imported.Immediately shipped to Japan for refining, rare earth refining is an extremely polluting industry.

But at this time, China has reduced the import of rare earths from Australia, and the rare earths there have been regarded as China's resources, so let's bury them first!

In the U.S., China is once again importing heavily U.S. steel.

Because of the needs of exporting the Allied countries, as well as internal construction needs, the steel gap grew again, so steel imports began in the United States.

At this time, the price of U.S. steel has dropped a lot because of unsmooth shipping, a large number of labor forces joining the army and a lack of main consumption.

While China imports American steel, it also exports some advantageous products to the United States. The two sides have reached an agreement on "balance of payments", that is, how much American goods China imports, and how much Chinese goods of value are exported to the United States.

In fact, China has taken advantage of it. Most of the commodities exported by China are relatively high value-added products, while the United States mainly exports steel to China.

While China obtained U.S. steel, its own iron and steel smelting scale was in a stage of explosive growth this year. In the first half of the year alone, it produced nearly 3000 million tons of steel. This was mainly due to the commissioning of mines across the country. The reason why South American iron ore is mostly supplied to China.

Iron and steel factories continue to be built everywhere, and a large amount of production capacity has been built long ago. Now it is iron ore such as steel factories, and as much iron ore as there is can produce as much steel.
