Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Arrogant, arrogant and unreasonable, this is how German Prime Minister Holweg and Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister Mario Weber feel about Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang at this moment!  This old man, who usually looked elegant, actually acted so arrogant at this time, as if he was completely different from the other two, which made them a little unbelievable!  However, they are more angry!  Among Britain's vast overseas colonies, the most important ones are India, Australia, Canada and South Africa!  Now, except for South Africa, the rest have been swallowed up by China. This makes Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire very unwilling!

    "Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, if this is the case, then China will get too many colonies in this war, right?" Mario Weber, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, also complained with some dissatisfaction!  Although the future national policy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is to obtain China's support to deal with Germany, they will not compromise casually when their own interests are involved!

    "After the war broke out, the Chinese army has been fighting in these areas, paying heavy losses before taking over these areas! Therefore, these areas naturally belong to us! I think there is no need to argue on this issue.  ! No matter what, China will not agree to distribute these colonies! If Germany and Austria-Hungary are dissatisfied with this, then I can only announce that this time the distribution of overseas colonies ended in failure." Chinese Prime Minister  Wu Tingfang said directly!

    German Prime Minister Holweg and Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister Mario Weber were both nervous. They heard what Wu Tingfang meant!  Most of the British overseas colonies are now under the control of China. If Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire have objections to China's annexation of India, Australia and Canada, then China will simply swallow up all the occupied British overseas colonies.  Don¡¯t take it out and distribute it!  In this case, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire would be able to allocate fewer colonies!  Moreover, due to China's powerful military force, it is impossible for them to go to war with China!

    Holweg and Mario Weber looked at each other, and in their eyes they could see the deep helplessness of the other!

    "Well, Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, let's put aside the issues about India, Australia and Canada for the time being, and let's allocate Britain's other overseas colonies first!" German Prime Minister Holweg said.  There is nothing we can do about it. If we continue to be tough, we will probably get nothing!  At least, the Chinese have not taken up all the benefits. For example, South Africa, which is rich in gold and diamonds, is also included in this distribution!

    "That's right! Well, let's allocate the British overseas colonies now! The first is the Americas. The British overseas colonies in the Americas include Ascension Island, British Guiana, British Honduras, the Falkland Islands, and Angui  Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, Christopher and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago  Nida Island, Turks and Caicos Islands, St. Helena Island and Tristan da Cunha Islands!¡± said Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang!  These colonies are mainly Central America in southern Mexico and islands in the Caribbean!  After China defeated the United States, it sent troops to occupy these islands, which originally had few troops.  Of course, the U.S. colony of Cuba has already been included in China's rule and is not included in this distribution!

    German Prime Minister Holweg and Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister Mario Weber both stared at the map. Although most of these colonies were relatively small, their geographical location was very important!  If they can get some colonies here, it will undoubtedly lay a wedge in the rich Caribbean region, which will help their future expansion in the Americas!  The Austro-Hungarian Empire may not have much interest in overseas expansion due to its strength, but Germany is different!  They have already been eyeing overseas colonies, otherwise they would not have started preparing to challenge Britain decades ago!

    "The specific allocation plan is as follows! Ascension Island, Bermuda, the Bahamas, St. Helena and Tristan da Cunha are allocated to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. British Honduras, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands and the Dominican Republic are allocated to  Germany, the rest of the colonies belong to China! Do you two have any opinions on this?" Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang asked.

    "The Austro-Hungarian Empire has no objection at all!" Mario Weber, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, said immediately. Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not receive the most colonies, its location was very good, and it was in line with the colonies established by Austro-Hungarian Americans in the southeastern United States.  The Grand Duchy of Habsburg is very close, making it easier for them to communicate with each other, which can stabilize the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire here!

    German Prime Minister Holweg thought for more than ten seconds before saying: "Germany has no objection either!" British Honduras, Jamaica and Dominica are all relatively large colonies, and Germany has a large territory in the Americas.These colonies were allocated without any investment, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied about!  Of course, Germany also wants to get more colonies. It would be best to swallow them all in one go, but will China agree?

    Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang nodded. In this allocation, China intends to eliminate the hostility of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire towards China!  After all, China has annexed India, Australia and Canada. If it behaves stingily in other colonies, it would be too ugly!  Although China is destined to confront Germany after this peace conference, the good relations shown above still need to be maintained!

    "Next, there are the colonies in Oceania! The British colonies in Oceania mainly include the Ellis Islands, Gilbert Islands, Fiji, Pitcairn Islands, Tonga and the New Hebrides." Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang continued!  Australia and New Zealand, the largest British colonies in Oceania, have been directly annexed by China, and the rest are these small islands in the Pacific!  Of course, the strategic location of these islands is also very important!  If possible, China would naturally want to control all these islands.  However, the Germans are not fools, they will not agree!  Coupled with Germany's original colonies in the Pacific, they can establish a base composed of countless islands here!

    "The specific distribution plan is as follows! Germany will obtain the Pitcairn Islands and Gilbert Islands, and the remaining islands will be owned by China! As for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is too far away from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and there is no territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!  What China means is that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not participate in the distribution of British colonies in Oceania!" Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said!

    Mario Weber, Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.  Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire also has the power to acquire some colonies in Oceania, although these colonies are just small islands!  But judging from the current situation, the Chinese completely regard the Pacific as their own bathtub. If other countries establish bases and deploy troops in the Pacific, they will become a thorn in the side of the Chinese.  Now, China and Germany will definitely start a fight in the Pacific, and the Austria-Hungary Empire naturally does not want to get involved!  Just let China and Germany fight in the Pacific!

    "Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, is it too little to only allocate two islands to Germany? Germany believes that Fiji and Tonga should also be assigned to Germany!" German Prime Minister Hollweger said!  Germany has too few footholds in the Pacific, and it is almost entirely surrounded by China's sphere of influence!  Although Germany has acquired a lot of these islands, there are too few islands suitable for human habitation and for building ports and airports!  Once a war breaks out with China, it will be difficult for these islands lacking depth to withstand the attack of the powerful navy and air force stationed in China!

    Prime Minister Wu Tingfang frowned, and then said: "Well, Tonga can be given to Germany, but the rest belongs to China!"

    Prime Minister Holweg nodded and expressed his satisfaction!  It is also very difficult to get as much benefit as possible from the powerful and greedy China!  You must know when to stop, otherwise once you anger China, it will be over!

    ¡°Prime Minister Holweg, I have another proposal that the German government might consider!¡± Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said with a smile.

    "Oh? Prime Minister Wu Tingfang, what is your proposal?" Prime Minister Holweg raised his eyebrows and asked.

    "It's like this. The empire is very interested in Germany's colonies in the Pacific. If the German government is willing, we can exchange it with Germany in other places, whether it is colonies in Africa or colonies in the Americas!" Prime Minister Wu Tingfang  Said!

    Prime Minister Holweg¡¯s expression suddenly changed. Germany¡¯s colonies in the Pacific were not important before, but now, their strategic status has been improved a lot. This is almost equivalent to planting a nail in the hinterland of China.  Once a war breaks out between the two sides, Germany will be able to contain a lot of China's power by deploying a certain amount of troops on these Pacific islands!  Especially if submarines and fighter jets are deployed on these Pacific islands, it will pose a fatal threat to China's sea routes!  Of course, once war breaks out, these German islands will also become China's primary target!  It is also very difficult for Germany to defend these islands far away from its homeland!

    ¡°If China is willing to exchange Kuwait in the Middle East, then we are willing to transfer islands in the Pacific to China!¡± Prime Minister Hollweger said with a smile!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
