Expedition to Europe

As I said, when interests rise to national interests, there is no reason or emotion to talk about.

Russia's territory is large enough in the 21st century, but as long as there is a chance, the Russians would rather bear NATO sanctions than get Crimea, just for this reason.

Before Russia took action, perhaps everyone was waiting to see Russia's joke and wait to see the Russians surrender.

But after the Russians took action, many people were surprised to find: Oh, it turns out that this is possible!

Qin Zhiyuan is also thinking about this now. Qin Zhiyuan did not make territorial claims to Australia and French Indochina now, but in Qin Zhiyuan's plan, these places must be occupied first.

Qin Zhiyuan's "immigration policy" to Australia is equivalent to "boiling a frog in warm water". Perhaps Australians will not notice any changes in one or two years, and will not pay attention to this issue. When Australians find that there are more and more Chinese around them, it will be too late to restrict them.

Think about it, if there are 1 million Chinese among the current 5 million Australian population, then the Chinese will undoubtedly occupy a certain number of seats in the Australian Parliament, which means that the Chinese already have the right to speak, and it is impossible to restrict them with laws similar to the American "Chinese Exclusion Act", and the Congress will not pass it.

Lan Fang will not agree.

And if the Chinese population accounts for 3 million, then the Australian Parliament will be controlled by the Chinese. This is the reality of the elected government.

So don't feel that it is impossible to annex Australia. Reality is always more absurd than fiction.

So after learning about Qin Zhiyuan's true thoughts, Huang Bohan immediately became aggressive: "We must increase the intensity of immigration from the Republic of China. In a short period of time, our population must reach at least 20 million... No, 30 million. If we have 30 million people, considering the natural growth of the population, then in 20 years, or 30 years, the Chinese in Australia will occupy an absolute majority. At that time... Humph."

Expanding territory and leaving a good reputation for eternity is the ultimate pursuit of every politician, especially for people like Huang Bohan.

Huang Bohan has no shortage of money or status. Huang Bohan has almost nothing.

But if he thinks that in the future, the banknotes printed with his portrait will be circulated in the vast land of Lan Fang, Huang Bohan's blood boils.

This long-lost feeling is like the feeling when Huang Bohan took over the management of Jianyuan Company from his father 30 years ago, like the feeling when Huang Bohan was first appointed as "Ma Yao" by the Dutch colonial government 20 years ago, and like the feeling when Huang Bohan first appeared on the world's richest list 10 years ago...

Huang Bohan knows very well that it is the impulse of entrepreneurship.

And this impulse that can make Huang Bohan's blood boil has not appeared in Huang Bohan for a long time.

"Establish a vassal army, you must establish a vassal army. Tomorrow I will telegraph Wu Yuanting and ask him to summon 20,000 people to me first. Let's exchange the garrison in Siberia first." Qin Zhisheng also has an idea.

After Wu Yuanting and his men returned to Annan from Europe, the strength of nearly five divisions was compressed into one division. It is said that they were drunk every day. Wu Yuanting had never lost contact with Lan Fang. Wu Yuanting once wanted to bring his troops to Lan Fang, but was appeased by Qin Zhiyuan and stayed in Annan temporarily.

"Don't change Siberia. The garrisons in Siberia cannot be moved. After the foreign legions withdraw from Russia, they will be directly deployed in Siberia, and then the garrisons in Siberia will be replaced. Lan Fang's troops will give priority to replenishing the local garrison troops. Starting from the infantry division, except for the backbone forces such as the company platoon leaders and sergeants, the rest of the grassroots companies will gradually be replaced by Annan people or local aborigines of Lan Fang. The same is true for the artillery and naval forces. Non-technical forces can be replaced by Annan people, but not the air force. The air force must be composed entirely of Chinese." Qin Zhiyuan knows the priorities.

In future wars, the weight of science and technology will become increasingly important. The previous form of arbitrarily capturing a group of strong men and giving each person a spear will no longer work. Qin Zhiyuan must ensure that all technical arms are in charge of Chinese, so that the army can be expanded at any time when needed in the future.

"So, our target in the future is Australia?" Huang Bohan has not really figured it out.

"No, our short-term target is Japan, and our long-term target is Australia. The Japanese are too close to us, and the hatred between them and the Chinese cannot be resolved. Japan is still immature, so it is not difficult to deal with it, but if we give the Japanese another ten years, it will probably take a lot of effort to deal with them." Qin Zhiyuan still misses the Japanese.

After the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing Empire suffered a great defeat, and the Japanese gained a lot of war dividends. Not to mention the 200 million taels of compensation, the ceded Yingzhou is the eternal pain in the hearts of the Chinese.

Qin Zhiyuan came from the 21st century, so he naturally knew all the farces made by the descendants of the Japanese in Yingzhou. In addition, Yingzhou's geographical location is right between Lan Fang and Siberia. If the Japanese continue to control Yingzhou and the Yingzhou Strait, it will really make Qin Zhiyuan sleepless.

"It won't be too difficult to deal with the Japanese. Countless Japanese ships pass through the Strait of Malacca every day. This is the lifeline of the Japanese. As long as we cut off the Strait of Malacca, the Japanese will collapse on their own." Qin Zhisheng could see the importance of the Strait of Malacca.

"Malacca is indeed important, but for the Japanese, the more important thing is the connection with the Americans. The Japanese production of raw silk is now the first in the world. It can be said that the entire modernization of Japan is based on raw silk. Raw silk It is also the main product exported by Japan. Most of their imported materials are exchanged for raw silk. Therefore, if they want to cut off the roots of the Japanese, the Strait of Malacca is only one aspect. Cutting off the sales of Japanese raw silk is for the Japanese. A fatal blow. "Qin Zhiyuan is cruel.

"Raw silk... we don't have many methods in this regard. In the past, the output of raw silk seemed to be the highest in the Republic of China. However, in recent years, the war in the Republic of China has continued, and the output of raw silk has been decreasing year by year. In Lanfang, we do not have the habit of growing mulberry and raising silkworms. "It's not easy to cut off the Japanese market." Huang Bohan is still clear about economic matters.

There is no way around this.

In fact, for thousands of years, the Chinese's raw silk production has been the undisputed number one in the world. However, after Japan's Meiji Restoration, Japan's raw silk production increased steadily, and in just a few decades, Japan's export volume accounted for the world's largest amount. three-quarters of it.

"It doesn't matter. I have ordered the Corsican research institute to research alternatives to silk. Once the research is successful, the Japanese raw silk sales will definitely plummet. By then, the Japanese will only have a heavy industry without raw materials. I would like to see it. Let’s see how they build their Eighty-Sixth Fleet.” Qin Zhiyuan was full of murderous intent.

The Eighty-Sixth Fleet is a shipbuilding plan proposed by Japan last year, which means to build eight battleships and six armored cruisers to form a powerful navy and fight the enemy decisively at sea.

The Eighty-sixth Fleet was proposed on the basis of the Eighty-fourth Fleet. If there are no accidents, next year the Japanese will expand this plan into the "Eighty-eighth Fleet", which is eight battleships and eight armored cruisers, and will be updated every eight years. .

Of course, because of Lan Fang's intervention, the Japanese are likely to further expand their plans. After all, Lan Fang and France have just decided to cooperate in the production of "Legion-class" battleships. Lan Fang's plan is to build four ships, which will definitely stimulate Japanese.

"It cannot be said that the Japanese heavy industry does not have raw materials. After the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese seized the privileges of the Russians in the Northeast of the Republic of China. Where are there enough raw materials for the Japanese to develop their heavy industry." Huang Bohan's words were disappointing. Complaints of the Republic of China.

"To develop heavy industry, steel and coal are not enough. You also need other things, such as rubber, oil, etc. These things are not available in the Northeast." Qin Zhiyuan still has something to say: Even if there is, the little devils will look for it. Not even there!

"Haha, speaking of it, the Japanese used to import materials from us, but since the establishment of Lanfang, we have basically not done business with the Japanese. As a result, we have not even established diplomatic relations at the ministerial level." Huang Bohan sighed.

"Of course you can do it if necessary, but you must not export unprocessed raw materials, such as rubber, bauxite, and oil. The Japanese can sell them if they want to buy them, but they must sell finished products." Qin Zhiyuan has no plans to fight with Japan People grow old and die without contacting each other.

Between countries, there are no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests. Qin Zhiyuan will not refuse to do business with the Japanese, but it is impossible for the Japanese to take advantage.

There is no benefit in playing tricks on this matter. Even if the Japanese cannot buy raw materials from Lanfang, they can still buy them from other countries. But if Lanfang establishes a long-term trade relationship with Japan, Qin Zhiyuan can tear up the contract once wartime comes and let the Japanese search for raw materials all over the world.

This can only be thought of. The Japanese are not fools. No matter what kind of raw materials, it is impossible to completely rely on a certain country, especially a potential enemy like Lanfang.

Well, that's how international relations are. A group of guys with ulterior motives are plotting against each other to see who is smarter.

"Then, my next job is to immigrate... Can we find a force from the Republic of China and let us cooperate? We can support them with arms, and then they will help us immigrate. In this case, the speed will be much faster." Huang Bohan thought The hole is wide open.

"It's not impossible. You can look around and get in touch if there is someone suitable. It would be good if the war in the Republic of China is calmed down as soon as possible. That would also be helpful to us." Qin Zhiyuan also has this plan.

In fact, for Qin Zhiyuan, the place he wants to go to most right now is the Peking University Library...

Of course, I didn’t go to the Peking University Library just to hug someone’s lap, but just to get a taste of my long-cherished wish.

In fact, for many people, Qin Zhiyuan is the one worth hugging now.
