Chapter 1315: Beat Ying and Eat Meat, Replace Him (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
"How many warships does Russia have?"
In the reception room, when Zhuge Jun said this in a light and ironic tone, he took out a cigar from the cigar box on the table and handed one to Emile.
Emil said sarcastically after taking the cigar and lighting it.
"Without us, the Russian fleet is nothing more than a duck bathing in the bathtubs of the Baltic, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea..."
When he finished speaking, Emil stared at Zhuge Jun and asked.
"I noticed that you didn't say much about the negotiations with India. Does that mean you have no interest in India?"
"Ming's interest in India is limited to returning it to China as a vassal state. As for the rest, Ming has no interest at all."
Zhuge Jun seemed very calm. In fact, this calmness was a retreat in order to advance. In fact, he knew very well that as long as the negotiations were normal, the Ming Dynasty could still get a piece of the pie from India.
"So what suggestions do you have on the Indian issue?"
"Our suggestion is very simple, that is, India must be divided among all countries, and Russia must not be allowed to monopolize it. If Russia monopolizes India, it will inevitably harm our common interests!"
"Indeed, but the Russians don't seem to be too happy about it."
“This is not something they are happy about.”
Zhuge Jun said directly.
"It's a matter of reality. The reality is that if they want to get a piece of the British meat, they have to share it with us. Otherwise, they won't even get a sip of soup."
After saying this, Zhuge Jun stared at Emil and said.
"So, our suggestion is to divide India appropriately so that everyone gets what they need."
The Emir certainly would not object to Zhuge Jun's suggestion. He even proposed a simple division plan, which was actually about the ownership of Bengal, Hyderabad and the like.
In a word, India is divided into several pieces like cutting a cake, and basically you are in me and I am in you.
Of course, this was also what Zhuge Jun intended to do, which was to ensure the fragmentation of India. This was also the suggestion of Emperor Zhu. This idea of "fragmentation" was based on considerations for the future. If the colonies become independent in the future, the unconnected provinces of Russia, France, and Austrian colonies will evolve into multiple countries, rather than three countries: Russian India, French India, or Austrian India.
It seems that the fragmented division is for the benefit of all countries, but when India becomes independent one day, there will inevitably be dozens of countries. This is just like Africa. Neither the British nor the French colonial rule has formed two major African countries, but dozens of small countries that are not worth mentioning.
After reaching a basic consensus on India, Emil took a puff of his cigar, then looked at Zhuge Jun and asked.
"Okay, now we have basically reached a consensus on India. So I want to know, what about you? What do you want? Don't talk about just an open door and a negotiated tariff. I believe that your pursuit of commercial interests in India is greater than your pursuit of territory, but you always have other ideas. After all, this world has always been realistic!"
Emile's rhetorical question made Zhuge Jun laugh.
"Hahaha,"
Zhuge Jun held a cigar in his hand, crossed his legs and sat on the sofa that was as exquisite as a work of art, smiled at the other party and said,
"We certainly have our goals,"
"I guess if I'm not mistaken, your target should be Australia! Well, and New Zealand. Your request will definitely be opposed. After all, Australia is so big. As for New Zealand, if Russia agrees to make concessions, we will not object. But Australia is really too big. How can you take it all by yourself?"
Emile stated his suggestion directly.
"I think you could get some colonies in India, and corresponding Australia, and we could divide them together, just like India."
"Australia is giving us compensation!"
Zhuge Jun said.
“Not only will we give up India, but we will also make concessions on the partition of Canada.”
Concessions in Canada?
Emil smiled and said:
"So, apart from Australia and New Zealand, you have no requirements for other regions? Including Southeast Asia?"
What is the problem?
It's clearly a trap.
"All right,"
Zhuge Jun smiled and said,
"I admit that we may have our demands in Southeast Asia, such as Lower Burma and the Straits Settlements, but as for the Philippines and East India, well, they are colonies of Spain and the Netherlands. I think they are not within the scope of our consideration this time."
Nothing is out of consideration. It will not be too late to take action after killing the eagle and eating the meat. By that time, the Ming Dynasty only needs to solve the problem through negotiations. As for now, the most important thing is to get the eagle meat into your mouth.
"And what about America?"
Emil asked bluntly.
"USA……"
Zhuge Jun was silent for a moment, then spoke.
"We believe that the United States should return the land they occupied from Mexico to Mexico. At the same time, what we need is a divided United States. As for the rest, we have no territorial claims on the United States. After all, the United States is also a civilized country."
What civilized country? That’s all nonsense. It’s just an excuse for the Ming Dynasty to prevent other countries from interfering in the affairs of the United States. After all, the Ming Dynasty already had plans for the United States!
Emperor Zhu was determined to turn the Pacific Ocean into the Ming Ocean.
How is it possible that they have no territorial ambitions towards the United States?
But if the United States is brought to the table during this negotiation, it would be tantamount to letting them share the United States with the Ming Dynasty.
Republican America?
This won't do.
The United States belongs to the Ming Dynasty!
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty would not support the division of the United States, and of course, it also opposed discussing American issues at the meeting.
"What we need to discuss is the British issue, Emir! This is also the original intention of our negotiation. All we need to do is to divide up Britain's huge overseas colonies. As for the rest, it is not within the scope of our discussion. What do you think?"
Beat the British and divide the meat!
This was the core of their negotiations. According to the entire plan, what the Ming Empire needed was to get the other three countries involved in this gamble. Through the coordination of the four countries, they would attack Britain simultaneously around the world. Then, they would swallow up the colonies of the British Empire bit by bit, and eventually gradually achieve the strategic goal of undermining Britain's position as the world hegemon and replacing it!
