Edo Traveler
Vol 9 Chapter 23: Massive military aid of 6 million
Good guys!
When Tademon's words were uttered, several envoys showed a look of scrutiny. It seemed that Chuemon was going to be stripped from beginning to end to make it clear.
Your shogunate's ambitions are not small!
For European and American countries, Kamchatka is really a very remote area. Even the United States does not have enough strength to occupy Kamchatka for the time being, and its own west is still a deserted area and has not yet undergone large-scale development.
Not to mention that the conflict between the North and the South in the United States is now intensifying, and slavery and abolitionists have reached the point where they are at war. Not to mention the expansion of territories, it is good if the United States does not divide itself first.
The Kamchatka Peninsula, which is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the mainland of European countries, is not that far away from Japan. Moreover, in the vast area before, there were really not many people, and it was a real no-owner place. It's just that the Russians entered first. If the Tokugawa shogunate had not locked the country, it would not be clear what this place is like now.
I only talk about the Ezo area and the Kata area (the reason why I am not called that name is not because I am not patriotic, I declare again). There are already many villages established by Japanese immigrants. Even the Ezo area is enough to set up towns, station and provide for the army.
Give him a few decades of natural development and migration. The Kuril Islands will inevitably be filled with Japanese immigrants. Will there be no one on the Kamchatka Peninsula by then?
The whole country in Japan now has more than 40 million stones, which can feed 30 million people. No matter how large the population is, it really can't accommodate for a while. The people who can't survive, don't they just want to move to a place where they can find a way to survive.
In the future, even many Japanese immigrants went to Hawaii, to North America, and even to Brazil in South America, with a population of no less than millions. It's all due to the fact that the country can't feed it.
The reason for the crisis at the end of the shogunate is actually a contradiction between people and land, and the reason for the unbalanced economic development lies in it. If the shogunate wins Kamchatka and arrests those who disagree with political opinions in the future, we don't have to kill them. All of them will be exiled to Kamchatka. It can not only reduce domestic conflicts and contradictions, but also develop local problems.
"This matter is too far away to be decided temporarily." Earl Erjin did not give a definite answer.
But it is undeniable that this Japanese proposal made him a little tempted. There is no other reason. Within the controllable range, if the development of Tsarist Russia can be contained, bringing the British is very happy.
Now, it seems that the shogunate is relatively more advanced, willing to follow in Taiying's footsteps. Kamchatka has almost no benefit to Daiying, especially since the local area cannot be a source of raw materials for the production of Daiying, nor can it become a dumping place for industrial products.
Not even chicken ribs, it's just a barren land!
But this bone without any meat scraps can make the newly recruited dog of the shogunate bark and wag its tail. For Daiying, this business can be done.
Let Tsarist Russia cede Kamchatka to the shogunate, so that even a great feud between Tsarist Russia and the shogunate was forged. In the future, with the British in the Far East to contain the development of Tsarist Russia, there will be a very useful pawn. This trick can even be said to be borrowing the knife to kill people, borrowing Japanese cannon fodder to kill the tsar's gray cattle.
As long as Taiying watched on the dry shore behind, he would pay a little money at most, so why not do it.
"Understand, I'm just curious in my heart." Chuemon also knew that people might not agree to it for a while, so now it's just a test and throw out this suggestion.
Besides, this proposal seems to be that the shogunate ate a piece of land, but isn't it also for bringing Ying to watch the gate. As far as Yu Daiying is concerned, he has not lost much, and even saved the funds for preventing and blocking Tsarist Russia, which is not good.
"Hahahahahaha... Your country is willing to assist the British Empire, great!" Earl Erkin didn't say much, turning the matter over.
First, we will occupy Petropavlovsk. It is too early to talk about whether this place will be handed over to the shogunate in the future, and it is not practical.
"Hurry up and ask him about the loan!" Ii Naobi laughed at Count Erkin, and quickly stabbed Tademon Chuemon. This is what he cares most about.
"Then about the military aid loan?" Chuemon could only ask embarrassedly.
"Please wait!"
Taiying is generally more willing to throw coins for his loyal little brother. Of course, it is also quite easy to sell, depending on whether it is needed at the time. Now the shogunate is useful to Daiying, so he is naturally willing to throw coins.
The other three envoys followed Earl Ergin, and they stood on one side and touched a small head slightly, and they discussed briefly for about ten minutes. Soon there was a plan approved by several envoys, and as usual, Earl Erjin came forward.
After all, it seems that the relationship between the shogunate and Daiying is the best. It was obviously more convenient to bring the British to negotiate. This loan was not given casually.
"After discussing with a few of you, I think I can provide your country with a loan of 6 million pounds!"
嚯! When the number of six million was spoken, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Ii Naobi's old face immediately opened up like a sunflower, and could hardly be opened again. Even Chuemon did not expect to have such a large sum of money, too much, enough to modernize the shogunate in a local area.
"So what's the condition?" Chuemon was calm, and smiled.
"Assisting the coalition forces in attacking Kamchatka and sending troops to garrison it is natural to provide supplies." Earl Erkin paused.
"Secondly, the Yokohama Residency Area should be further expanded. Construction of the Yokohama-Edo railway and telegraph line must be started within the year. You must fully assist our personnel in the construction. In addition, your country must immediately send envoys to Europe and the United States. ."
is okay, the conditions are not harsh, anyway, it has sold 3.4 square kilometers, even if it is now sold for five or six square kilometers, it will be fine. Railways and telegraphs were supposed to be built immediately, and sending envoys to them is not a hugely difficult task.
"Are there any more?"
"There is one more thing, this loan needs to establish a common supervisory authority for management and disposal, so as not to cause waste." Earl Erjin added another one.
What caused the waste? Isn’t it a guarantee that all the money will be used to buy your foreign goods? It’s so high-sounding. You don’t need to pay out the money if you don’t have the money, and you just transfer it around in a European bank, and you can pay whatever manufacturer you should pay. I don’t understand.
"No problem, for the specific details, I will send my adjutant and assistants to come to talk in detail." Chuemon immediately agreed.
