Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Bactria was an indispensable part of the John Empire and the Gallic Empire, even though many wars broke out between the two sides.

Because Daxia's land is vast enough and its population is large enough. And this means that Daxia has a large enough market.

Perhaps for Bactria, he did not need Western markets like John and the Gallic Empire. Because the population of Daxia is large enough, the domestic market alone is enough for the people in power in Daxia to make a lot of money.

But for industrial powers like John and Gaul, without the Bactrian market, it would be a disaster for their capital.

To give a very simple example, why did the John Empire go to war with Daxia in the first place?

Isn't it just a derivative of that plant?

Why go to war with Daxia because of this? Isn't it because normal goods cannot open the market in Daxia? The perennial trade deficit has caused the capital of John Country to lose their underwear.

A large amount of precious metals have flowed out, making the purchasing power of John's currency smaller and smaller?

And after using artillery to smash open the country's gate to Daxia, did all kinds of foreign goods flood into Daxia?

Why is the proportion of trade in plant derivatives getting smaller and smaller after the Great Xia Kingdom was opened?

The large number of working-age labor force and low-priced land rent in Daxia (perhaps there was no such thing as rent in the beginning.) directly allowed the capital of John Country to take off.

Therefore, for John Empire, he cannot lose the market of Daxia.

At the same time, Bactria, as the most powerful empire in the East at the time, had far-reaching influence in East Asia. Therefore, on the one hand, the John Empire needed Bactria's market, and on the other hand, it needed Bactria to maintain their colonies in East Asia.

However, the rise of the Sakura Kingdom later seriously threatened Bactria's dominance in East Asia. For the safety of their own colonies, Western countries, led by the John Empire, began to support the Sakura Kingdom.

But even so, the John Empire still does not allow the Sakura Empire to weaken Daxia too much, especially to seize Daxia's market.

After this, after the Great Xia and Sakura Kingdom failed in the great sea battle, the Sakura Kingdom wanted to monopolize the Liaozhou Peninsula. However, the Rakshasa Kingdom and the John Empire strongly opposed it, forcing the Sakura Kingdom to return the Liaozhou Peninsula. Summer.

But now, Daxia not only defeated the Sakura Empire and restored the Sakura Empire to its original shape, but also signed a military contract with the Hans Empire.

In the former, the defeat of the Sakura Empire caused all the investment from John and other countries to be in vain, and also offended Daxia.

Who said that between Daxia and the Sakura Empire, they chose the seemingly more powerful Sakura Empire.

As for the latter, Hans signed a military contract with Daxia, which also included various trade cooperation.

This made John and other countries feel that the market in Daxia would be completely occupied by the Hans Empire.

This is simply cutting flesh on the capital of John, Gaul and other countries.

Can this be tolerated? Of course this is intolerable!

Therefore, there are only two options before the John Empire. One is to directly fight Daxia again!

However, the consequence of this is that the Hans Empire and his younger brothers will definitely declare war on the John Empire.

When the time comes, you know with your buttocks that it will eventually turn into a world war.

This is not in the interests of the John Empire, who only want to make money and won't fight if they can.

The second way is to show goodwill to Daxia and try to sign a contract with Daxia, even if it is not a military contract but just a supplementary trade contract.

Anyway, just one sentence, don’t delay making money by yourself.

As for Daxia, it has already signed a military alliance contract with the Hans Empire. Will it sign a contract with the John Empire?

It’s not that John Empire hasn’t considered this matter, but they think it’s not important.

No country in this world can reject the powerful John Empire!

The Hans Empire can’t do it, and neither can Daxia!

Moreover, the military contract signed between Daxia and the Hans Empire revealed something weird about it.

The John Empire's insiders in the Hans Empire have learned that the Hans Empire initially wanted to sign a long-term contract with Daxia, at least for fifty years.

But Daxia's attitude was very firm, saying that it could only sign a ten-year contract with the Hans Empire at most.

If you can agree, just agree. If you don't agree, it doesn't matter if you don't sign. In short, if you want to increase the length of the contract, there is no need to discuss it.

For such a contract length, this itself reveals all kinds of weirdness.

After analysis by the think tanks of the John Empire, they also guessed that Daxia's senior officials believed that world peace would only last for ten years at most.

This is basically consistent with John Empire's own internal estimation.

After reaching this conclusion, the John Empire guessed Daxia's intentions and signed a contract with the Hans Empire. It was just a temporary measure. If Daxia wanted to find out, it must find an ally.

Rather than really wanting to follow Hans Empire's path to darkness.

After reaching this conclusion, the senior officials of John Empire laughed.

Who else in this world can match the strength of the great John Empire?

Hans Empire's plan will definitely come to nothing in the end, and John Empire will be the final winner.

After thinking of this, the senior leaders of the John Empire thought that they could try to sign a trade contract with Daxia. If Daxia was willing to negotiate, it would mean that Daxia did not want to follow the path of the Hans Empire and end up in trouble. They just want to develop themselves.

The John Empire was confident that it would win Daxia into its own camp.

If Daxia refuses, then John will find a way to restrict Daxia and prevent Daxia from developing!

Thinking of this, the senior officials of John Empire immediately sent a telegram to Andrew's hands.

And Andrew, who knew the seriousness of the matter, immediately made an appointment with Li Fu.

Subsequently, after friendly negotiations between the two parties, Daxia purchased ten textile production lines, five cigarette production lines, two chemical plants, and a steel plant with an annual output of one million tons from John Empire.

At the same time, against the Hans Empire, the John Empire launched a public tender to build a railway from Guilin to Guangzhou.

The total contract value is 800 million imperial silver dollars.

After receiving the contract, Andrew happily ran back to the embassy to report to Downing Street.

After receiving Daxia's accurate reply, the senior officials of John Kingdom instantly knew that their previous thoughts were right.

After confirming that Daxia signed a military contract with the Hans Empire just to develop itself, the senior officials of the John Empire were gearing up one by one, wondering how to get more benefits from Daxia.

Again, in the face of sufficient interests, the bottom line is nothing! There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!

The prices given by Daxia are all at a premium of between 20% and 30%.

That explains it all.

However, before formally negotiating a contract with Daxia, the senior leaders of the John Empire felt that there was one more thing that needed to be resolved first, and that was the problem of the Sakura Empire!
