v12 Chapter 43: Appeal to Hawaii first

Ami doesn't even have time to control Alaska, how can he still care about Hawaii!

There is one thing to say, there is no country that wants to seize the so-called hegemony in the Pacific. Whether it is Midway Island, Guadal Island, Iwo Jima or Ryukyu Island, the famous strategic places in later history, how many people do you think care?

Even the so-called Australia is still only a place where the British exile criminals. If you want to say that there is any good intention to lead the British Empire to run Australia, I am afraid that there is no such thing for the time being.

As for Hawaii, it will take at least 30 years before it will be robbed and deceived by the Americans.

And even if it was incorporated, what was the role of Hawaii in 1890? It's basically a safe haven in the Pacific Ocean. Are the British blind, if there is any earth-shattering use?

In 1890, Dai Ying was a real empire on which the sun never sets. He could fight whoever he wanted to fight, and the navy could fight together according to the second and third in the world. If you say that Hawaii is the strategic location of Tianzi No. 1, and the Royal Navy fires a round of artillery, there will be no one in the world who dares to **** him.

But with Ying, I just didn't care about Hawaii.

Since you don't have a crush on it, do you think it won't prevent me from liking it? Chuemon is very clear about a truth, Japan will either follow the old path of Tanaka Yoshiichi, all the way to death, and finally become the dog of American father. As a result, it is not enough to be a dog, and it has to be harvested by American father.

Harvesting once is not enough. American dad is facing the textile industry, home appliance industry, and electronics industry of the young people. It is a round of harvesting. After completely laying down all the people in the small days, and unable to develop a new direction, I reluctantly stopped and was ready to continue harvesting at any time.

Zhongemon is not afraid of being harvested, anyway, our goal is not to lead the country on the road to prosperity. Our goal has always been to maintain the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, who told us that this reactionary feudal government is the ass.

So in order to maintain the rule, Chuemon had to make the country's productive forces develop. At the very least, you have to keep the people full. If you can't get enough to eat, even if Chuemon is willing to betray the country and become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, it will be useless.

Eating and dressing, everyone looks forward to it. In this life, you must first plan to eat and clothe yourself before you can think of a more advanced pursuit. There is a way for Chuemon to do this. Who hasn't watched the TV series Gokyo yet? Appropriately opening up a little entertainment is like giving a dog a ball. He is happy to play, and naturally he will not bark.

Speaking of development, the final strength of the shogunate will definitely increase day by day. The shogunate is on the west side of the Pacific Ocean, and the United States is on the east side of the Pacific Ocean. It is inevitable that conflict will break out between the two countries.

Unless the shogunate is always behind!

However, Zhongemon had to let Japan develop, so that the common people would be fed and clothed, lest they rise up in rebellion. So in the final analysis, the conflict between the United States and Japan is inevitable.

Taking advantage of the fact that Americans are not fully raised now, the shogunate may be able to seize a little bit of a head start. First take Hawaii as the avant-garde, then take Luzon Island as the latter, and hold Japan as the foundation, and go out to the Pacific Ocean to visit the four directions.

Learning from the Meiji gang would obviously only lead to a bad death. The shogunate had to go the other way. Taking advantage of the fact that Ezo and Kata had been seized by the shogunate, the entire country would be able to support even a population of 100 million, or even 123 million. When there are a lot of cheap labor, and under the Tokugawa shogunate, which does not guarantee any human rights at all, what is the difference between workers and peasants' scissors?

Make it big, accumulate industrial capital, actively develop internally, and control the Pacific Ocean externally. Our generation has achieved this step, and the next generation will be able to compete in Southeast Asia, South America, and Australia if the human security is not balanced.

Gu Feng

Some people may say, how can you develop a colony without plundering raw materials and dumping industrial products in the beginning?

That's right, and it's right. This is indeed a question, but do you think Chuemon is still alive in thirty years? The dead have to plan for the living? Reach out in the urn and teach you how to play games?

No matter how good your strategy is, it is of no use. No matter who you are, there is no way to live for three to five hundred years.

The shogun in the back, what kind of thinking, Chuemon can't control it!

Or take Hawaii first, and then take Luzon Island, to be more realistic. When Luzon Island can also be included in the shogunate's pocket, then the shogunate is a standard one million square kilometers big country.

If you say that the products are extremely rich, the cheap labor is hundreds of millions, the oil reserves can be ranked in the top ten in the world, and the shogunate, which controls all coal, copper, iron, aluminum, mica, zinc, and silica, cannot develop yet, then there is really no point. Words can be said.

"Suke six, who do you think is good at diplomacy in the shogunate!" Chuemon stood up with his hands behind his back and walked back and forth.

"If you want to talk about the distance, the minister thinks that it will be difficult to find. If you want to talk about the nearness, Xiaoli Shenliu Hou is a capable person." Zu Liu immediately responded.

Oguri Tadashun is a top student who graduated from Oxford University. He can handle foreign affairs and understand the situation of European powers. He is a standard person who can see the world with eyes open. There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking him to do a diplomacy.

Historically, Katsu Kaishu signed a treaty with the Americans and sold the sovereignty of the shogunate. Oguri Tadashun signed a treaty with the Russians, but he was able to maintain the national system everywhere and did not fall behind, which is the proof.

"Yu intends to appease Hawaii, UU reading www.uukanshu.com to send an envoy to the United States, what do you intend?"

"Marquis Shenliu is running the Yokohama Steel Works, so he can't do without it." Suke six didn't ask about this, nor what Hawaii was. He was more concerned about what he saw in front of him.

"Haha, Yokohama Steel Works is about to start production, and it only needs to be managed in the future. It just happened that he was sent on an envoy." Previously, Oguri Tadashi Shun established Nagasaki Steel Works, which took three years.

The same is true for the Yokohama Steel Works today, about three years before and after. Finally, everything has been prepared, and iron sand from overseas can be pulled to produce steel immediately.

Now that the Yokohama Steel Works has been completed, Chuemon is not going to let him idle. It is a standard waste to throw such a talent into idleness, and it is absolutely not acceptable.

It was just convenient to order him to go to the Kingdom of Hawaii and establish diplomatic relations with them. Then buy land in Hawaii, build supply docks for whaling ships and repair slipways. Then set up whaling fishing companies to relocate coastal fishermen and landless civilians to Hawaii.

Anyway, the Civil War is about to start, and the United States has no control over the past ten or eight years.
