In addition, to ensure Hans's interests in China, China must have sufficient self-protection capabilities. Otherwise, China's own capabilities will be too weak to face the challenges of other countries. There is no way to protect yourself during the invasion.
So Hans's hard work on the layout and construction of the Chinese side was cut off by other powers in the blink of an eye. This is too uncomfortable!
For this purpose, Mainz agreed to contact the revolutionary government in southern Guangdong. He did not put all his eggs in the basket of the Northeast Army, but based on the principle that whoever can control the entire dynasty will be Hans' partner. principles to cooperate with the northern and southern regimes.
As for the direct warlords in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?
Mainz has no interest in the Zhili warlords at all, and only hopes that the Zhili warlords will die soon!
After all, the Zhili warlords are a force that the sun never sets. It is impossible for Hans to win over them. If he cannot win over them, then he is an enemy!
After listening to Perfect Inz's explanation, everyone understood their general's good intentions.
But everyone still can't understand Major General Mainz's insistence on developing the Daqing Oilfield.
"What is so difficult to understand? Think about it, who is the most wary person in China?"
Ribbentrop had already realized it at this time, so seeing that everyone had not yet woken up, he took the initiative to explain.
"Footbath?"
"The sun never sets?"
"Gaul?"
"Eagle sauce?"
"us?"
Everyone was talking about the top five gangsters in the world at this time.
"Eagle Sauce, The Sun Never Sets and We can rule out that our three countries are all far away in Europe and have neither the ability nor the inclination to conquer the entire Celestial Empire!"
"So why not exclude the Gauls?"
"Well, because the Gauls have been very active in expanding around the Celestial Empire since the 19th century. They not only launched three wars against the Celestial Empire, but also wiped out the Celestial Empire's younger brother, South Vietnam, who was already on land. Bordering China, with the bridgehead of South Vietnam, it is really possible for the Gauls to attack the mainland of China. This is different from the sun never sets, us and Eagle Sauce!"
Ribbentrop's words reminded everyone. When everyone thought about it carefully, they felt that this was indeed the truth.
The biggest threat to China is not necessarily the most powerful country in the world, but it must be the closest and most powerful country to China. Fortunately, there are neighboring countries with neighboring countries, because only if the two countries are close to each other, it will be more convenient to attack! If you think about it, the biggest threats to the Chinese Empire are Foot Basin, Mao Xiong and Gao
Gao.
The main body of Lu is still in Europe, so the threat from Gaul is the smallest. The main area of woolly bears is in Eastern Europe, so the biggest threat from woolly bears is naturally Footbath, which has been launched several times in the past few decades. You can tell from the war!
Since the Meiji Restoration, Footbath first annexed Liuqiu, defeated the Qing Dynasty and annexed Daiwan in the Sino-Japanese War, and then completely expelled Mao Xiong from the Far East with the Russo-Japanese War, and annexed Korea. The Liaodong Peninsula, if it weren't for the intervention of the Three Kingdoms, the Footbath would definitely not have cleared the Liaodong Peninsula!
The expansion route of the Footbath is very clear, because to the east of the Footbath is the endless Pacific Ocean, and on the other side of the Pacific is the world's largest economy..
Therefore, there is no way for Footbath to expand to the east. After they failed to compete with Eagle Sauce for Xiawei in 1898, Footbath, although they held a grudge against Eagle Sauce, recognized the reality and gained a foothold on the Asian continent. Before they had a bigger territory, they couldn't compete with Yingjiang!
So, after suffering setbacks from Yingjiang, Tiaoba devoted all his energy to expanding to the west!
After more than forty years of preparation! After that, Zuoban had already launched an offensive and gradually eroded the strength of the Celestial Dynasty! At this time, the Celestial Dynasty was in a period of warlord warfare without a central government. During this period, the Celestial Dynasty was simply a soft persimmon for Zuoban. If they really invaded the Celestial Empire, it would be much easier than invading a unified country!
Therefore, they have stepped up their preparations for war against the Celestial Empire in recent years. After they took advantage of the opportunity of the First World War to send troops to occupy Qingdao, they have not yet invaded the Qing Dynasty. This place was returned to the Chinese Empire.
Not only did Foot Basin not return Qingdao to the Chinese Empire, but it also continued to send more troops to the Jiaodong Peninsula, intending to fully occupy the Jiaodong Peninsula, and then use this place as a springboard to attack the entire Chinese Empire!
I know, in order to resist the footbath, China once broke out the vigorous May 4th Movement in 1919.
The Beiyang government even designated May 9th as a day of national humiliation.
The entire China, from the private sector to the government, became hostile to the footbath very quickly.
Ascending, Footbath is probably the most hated and unpopular country in China at this time!
So not only Footbath is preparing to launch an invasion of China, but the entire Celestial Empire is also always vigilant about Footbath, and is always on guard against Footbath's attack.
"There will definitely be a war between Footpot and China, but it will only happen sooner or later. Footpot has a small land area and is very scarce in various resources. They lack various minerals, especially oil, so once they know that China has a large oil field in the northeastern region If so, do you think they will do this?"
Mainz took over the topic and said to everyone.
After hearing Mainz's words, everyone suddenly realized: Since Footbath has long been eyeing the Chinese Empire, it will be a matter of time for them to invade the Chinese Dynasty, and once they know about the Northeastern region of the Chinese Dynasty, If there is oil, then Footbath will definitely attack here first!
"But what good will this do to us?"
By attacking the Chinese Empire, isn't this destroying Hans's interests in the Chinese Empire?
From this point of view, there seems to be no benefit at all from exploiting the Daqing Oilfield!"
"The advantage is that we can detonate the conflict between the footbath and the bear in advance!"
This sentence made everyone even more confused. Weren't we just discussing the matter between China and the footbath?
Why did it suddenly become a matter between the footbath and the bear?
Major General Mainz's thinking jumped too much, which led to Everyone can't keep up with the rhythm.
"General, can you explain it in detail? I feel like my brain is a bit exhausted!"
Himmler actually vaguely understood something in his heart, but he was happy to create a stage for Major General Mainz to perform, so he said this deliberately.
Others, on the other hand, were really confused and didn't quite understand this matter. Why is it related to the furry bear? So after hearing what Himmler said, they all agreed.
"Yes, General, please give us a detailed introduction. We really don't know much about the situation in the Far East!"
Mainz is quite helpless. The people he brought here this time are not young rookies and military backbones like Manstein and Guderian. Many of the people he brought here are not from the military. They are very concerned about the situation in Europe. It was pretty good, but when it came to the situation in the Far East, it was completely blind and they didn't know anything anymore!
Mainz had no choice but to introduce them to the grudges between the bear and the footbath, from the Russo-Japanese War to Sakhalin Island. After explaining these things to everyone one by one, everyone finally figured out that there was such a deep grudge between Footbath and the bear.
"The Daqing Oilfield is located relatively north, within Mao Xiong's sphere of influence. After Footbath occupies this area, they can obtain the oil from the Daqing Oilfield, as well as the coal mines, iron ores, copper mines, etc. in the Northeast, which are important for Footbath's industry. In particular, the military industry is extremely important. If they occupy this place, Footbath's war machine will become even more powerful. At that time, Footbath will have two options:
First, go south to attack China and annex it, but in the process they will It is subject to intervention from Western countries and may also be directly obstructed by Mao Xiong, so this decision is very risky!
Second, go north to attack the woolly bears and drive the woolly bears completely back to Europe. After expelling the Mao Xiong forces, Footbath will no longer have any worries in East Asia and the Far East. They can continue to go south and annex the Chinese Empire!"
"So, if you were a Mao Xiong person, would you sit back and watch the occupation of Daqing Oilfield and the entire Northeast?"
