Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Puff … Cough cough cough …

Bismark was completely defeated by Xiao Letian's shamelessness, he choked on the cigar smoke while coughing out, "You are too greedy! Do you think I have no intelligence? "

"To the north is simply a barbaric land that has never been run by any Western powers before. It is a place that the French do not even bother taking. It belongs to the Ruan Royal Family and has always been living according to the traditions of the Middle Ages …"

"Of course, the most fertile one is to go south, yet you want to leave with just one mouth? "Stop dreaming, it's impossible, there's no such thing as right now …"

"Ai ai ai …" "Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Letian rubbed his hands together and laughed, "Doing business, we are still bargaining, how do you think we should split it?"

The French colonies at Annan would definitely not be preserved, and the Chinese and Prussia would definitely divide up the France colonies in the world.

It was worth mentioning that Bismark was not a fanatic of colonization. He was an extremely rational politician, in terms of space and time, Bismark did not even want a piece of the French overseas colony.

Bismark wants your Alsatian and Lorraine from France!

This is where the excellence of a mature politician comes from. Bismark knows how much of his food needs to be compatible with your ability to digest.

Bismark was always steady walking. He would firmly eat everything that he could digest into his mouth, and then digest it into his own flesh and blood. It was unlike the small and violent Japanese where he had shortsighted and had a big belly.

Bismark was very clear that Prussia's navy still needed a long time to develop. Without the protection of a powerful navy, overloading the overseas colonies would only be a burden.

Therefore, what Bismark wanted was a large amount of war reparations and the European lands that bordered the Germany!

In the real history, when Bismark offered a price to cede Arthas and Rolin, Queen Ou Renni, the wife of the French Emperor who had taken refuge in the UK, once wrote a letter to the Prime Minister Iron-Blood while bowing and kneeling.

In the letter, the Empress begged Bismark to be magnanimous, and even offered to exchange Annan and the two colonies of French India for Alsace and Lorraine.

But she never thought that Bismark would not be fooled and immediately reject the Queen's suggestion to cede two provinces of northeastern France!

Pragmatic, too pragmatic! The practical and conservative spirit of the German was fully displayed here.

In contrast, Asia's Japan, the first Asian country to enter industrialization, ended up losing by playing itself to death. This bunch of short legs had no strategic mind at all.

In the entire process of the rise of Japan, the only one who understood clearly was Itou Hirobumi. Only he understood that occupying and digesting those two things were two entirely different things.

After the war, Japan obtained Korea and Taiwan. At that time, Itou Hirobumi was only focused on managing these two new lands.

Suppressing the military's desire to stir up trouble, he forcefully promoted the Japanese culture in the new land of occupation, both in words and customs. He even began to unify the style of the buildings.

There was even a history saying that after Itou Hirobumi was assassinated, on the verge of death, she made a will asking the successor to swear that he wouldn't be able to start any war of aggression within a hundred years, and that he had to completely manage both Korea and Taiwan first.

A hundred years was enough time for the indigenous residents of those two lands to forget about their own language and language, as well as their past clothes and customs. A hundred years was enough for them to accept the fact that they were Japanese.

After properly digesting them, the two pieces of land became Japanese muscles and tendons, instead of a drag on fat!

Only then could Japan launch a new war!

Unfortunately, his successors were completely unable to suppress their crazy martial dao spirit. The events that happened later proved the violence of this country. They were like Taotie who desperately ate until their stomachs were completely bloated.

At the end of the second world war, the land occupied by Japan was unimaginably vast, that was the wild hope in the thousands of years of Japanese!

However, it was useless. Just because the map looked good did not mean that all the occupied land could not be effectively ruled. Instead, it consumed the energy accumulated by Japan over the course of a hundred years.

After the United States entered the war, Japan finally returned to the area it was at before the afternoon sea war!

A hundred years is a dream!

Xiao Letian understood too much about politicians like Bismark. Extremely pragmatic politicians were actually very easy to deal with, because they were not arrogant, and because they knew their strengths and weaknesses.

What Prussia lacked the most right now was a large navy. If they wanted to run the colonies in Asia of the France properly, they would have to rely on the strength of the Chinese.

Therefore, Xiao Letian could definitely bargain with Bismark boldly. The Vietnamese Ruan Royal Family would never imagine that his future national destiny would actually be decided by two men he didn't even know, or even had never been to Viet Nam before.

In the dark night, two politicians were smoking their cigars and whispering in the night wind like thieves. Ten steps away, there were armed guards guarding the two of them vigilantly.

After half an hour of haggling, the two of them finally reached an agreement. Prussia and China separated the border with Vietnam, with the south under Chinese control and the more barren north under Prussia's control.

Of course, the Jinlan Bay was Xiao Letian's, but Bismark had also acquired Da Nang City, which was a very good port. In the future, the German navy would have a foothold in Asia.

In addition, Saigon and Hanoi, the two largest cities in Viet Nam, were defined as free cities.

At this point, Vietnam had been divided and there was no chance for them to make a comeback ever again!

Until the end of the distribution, Xiao Letian shamelessly said, "The power of the Siamese Nation … Do you want it? "If you don't want it, I'll take it …"

Bismark frowned, "The Siamese cat is now divided up by the English and French. If you accept the French colony, your only son will have to face the pressure from the British."

"Your appetite is so big. If you turn around, you might not even be able to make a joke of yourself!" Do not underestimate the British 'control ambitions. They have been watching you all this time. "

Xiao Letian smirked: "As long as you admit my interest in the end, as for how to deal with an Englishman, I know what to do!"

At the moment, the Siamese nation was under the rule of the emperor Julalonggong. This king was a Reformist, but he was also a secessionist. Under his rule, Laos, which was originally part of the Siamese nation, was taken away by the French.

In addition, he had also ceded four provinces of the Malay Peninsula to Britain. It was this step by step settlement that was barely able to maintain the political integrity of the Siamese State.

This kind of king was not difficult to deal with, and Xiao Letian's appetite was not big either. He only wanted the four hundred to five hundred square kilometers of land in the Kadesh Gorge.

With the halo of victory in the Franco-Prussian war, the British would never be angered by hundreds of square kilometers of land.
