Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Chapter 466 The Empire engages in trade in South America

If Daxia did not restrict America in the Pacific, then America could unscrupulously send its army to the European battlefield to help the Allies attack the Allies.

But now, on the other side of the ocean, a Daxia Empire with millions of elite troops is always threatening its west coast, which makes Milician place most of its army forces at home.

On the other side of Europe, it has become interesting.

Similarly, because the naval power was almost half less than in the original historical time and space, the Allies were also unable to gain a decisive and overwhelming advantage over the Allies.

It can be said that in this time and space, the support provided by America to the Allies was effective.

This led to the American big capitalist class becoming distrustful of their President Wilson after the European battlefield fell into an unfavorable situation.

These capitals thought that supporting Wilson would allow them to make a fortune in Europe.

But in fact, as soon as the war started, he was beaten by Daxia and suffered heavy losses.

I didn’t make any money, and I even lost money when I went out.

For those big capitals, if they don't make money, they will lose money. What's more, they will lose money directly. This has reduced Wilson's support to the lowest level.

Moreover, due to Lin Yi's hint, some Jewish financial groups have supported Wilson's competitors, hoping to force America out of the Allied Powers.

However, Wilson took advantage of the fact that America was still at war and refused to hold elections. This left the Jewish consortiums to bluster and stare, and to worry.

However, according to Lin Yi's prediction, Daxia did not want to land in Milicia during this war.

It's not that Lin Yi doesn't want to, but Daxia's strength is not enough. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, Lin Yi determined the areas that must be controlled, and had the opportunity to control areas and non-essential control areas.

In Lin Yi's mind, by the end of World War I, the only areas that the Daxia Empire must control were the Far East, southern Siberia, Southeast Asia, and the archipelago in the southern part of the empire.

Especially areas such as the Strait of Malacca and the Luzon Islands, because only by controlling these areas can Daxia establish a maritime defense line, turn the southern seas of the empire into inland seas, and eliminate all threats from the sea.

The areas that have the opportunity to control are the six Central Asian countries, Australia and Tianzhu.

As for why these areas are ranked as areas with opportunities to control, the main reason is that behind these areas are either the core areas of the John Empire or the belly of the Rakshasa Empire.

To capture these areas, the empire would have to pay a high price, but the actual gain would not be much.

Except, of course, Australia.

The main reason why we don't want to control Australia is that Australia is too big and if we want to fully control it, we need too many troops.

Another point is that Lin Yi feels that he can get Australia through negotiation.

Don’t think that John Empire will not let go of such a large area like Australia, then you have to see what he is competing with.

Although Australia is important, it is not so important compared to Tianzhu, which is already under the gunpoint of the empire.

As for the six Central Asian countries, this is purely an accident.

Lin Yi originally wanted to let the empire's power penetrate into the six Central Asian countries when attacking the Rakshasa Empire and seizing the Far East and Southern Siberia.

However, even Lin Yi did not expect that Kazakhstan, the most powerful among the six Central Asian countries, would actually participate in the rebellion against Nicholas.

This allowed the empire's forces to successfully enter Central Asia.

In addition to the above, there are also some that are not included in this war and are targeted, such as the Middle East.

Of course, the mainland of Milicia does not count.

But this does not mean that Lin Yi has no ambitions for American territory.

After defeating the American Pacific Fleet, Lin Yi immediately asked Li Fu to send people to Chile, Argentina and other countries in South America.

I want to sign some trade agreements with these small South American countries.

As for these small South American countries, on the one hand, they were surprised when Daxia extended an olive branch, and on the other hand, they were delighted.

What’s surprising is that thank you, the small South American country didn’t expect that Daxia would take the initiative to show kindness to them. On the other hand, it is because the conditions for Daxia are much better than those of Milician.

Regarding this point, Lin Yi, as someone who has experienced it, knows that if he wants to maintain long-term friendly relations with a country, he must respect the country.

Regardless of whether the other party is strong or weak, you must talk to the other party with an equal attitude.

To put it simply, when you eat meat, you must give the other person a sip of soup, otherwise why would others follow you?

Therefore, when conducting trade negotiations with Chile, as the stronger party, it took the initiative to give up some of its benefits.

For example, the purchase price of iron ore per ton is several dollars higher than that of Milica. Every new mine opened gives the authorities a 5% profit share.

Of course, there are also indispensable commercial tax reductions and exemptions for bilateral trade.

These small favors made Chile suddenly feel that Daxia was much gentler than Milicia, so they began to actively cooperate with Daxia.

It can be said that the people in power in Daxia are very familiar with this kind of thing. Thousands of years of history have taught them how to manage their people well.

Doing business between countries is like managing the people of their own country.

Only if you make the other party able to afford food and get benefits will they be willing to work with you.

For those small countries in South America, a relatively moderate and powerful country that respects them is willing to trade with them on an equal footing, enhance their national strength, and upgrade civilian facilities.

For them, this was something they had never dared to think about before.

You must know that whether it is Central and North America or South America, America has always been regarded as its own back garden, open to oppression.

However, due to the strength of the United States, these countries dare not speak out in anger.

But now, a new overlord who has defeated America head-on and controlled the entire Pacific is willing to trade with them using relatively mild means and a reciprocal attitude.

How to choose? Do I need to say more?

As Chile was the first to trade with Daxia, its financial statements in 1913 showed that Chile’s fiscal revenue increased by 19.34% in just one year.

You must know that this is growth even if the minerals invested by Daxia have not yet been put into use.

Once these mining areas were opened, you can imagine how much profit Chile would make in 1914.

As soon as this financial statement came out, the whole of South America immediately went crazy. They began to contact Daxia, hoping to sign a comprehensive trade agreement with Daxia.

Seeing the fire in their back garden, Milijian began to turn towards Da Xia. They hated Da Xia with itching teeth, but they also felt helpless towards Da Xia.

After all, no matter how confident Milician is now, they don't think they have the ability to resist Daxia alone.

If you want to defeat or restrict Daxia, you must go through the John Empire.

And now the John Empire has too much time to take care of itself. How can it have time to care about Milician's affairs?

(Note: The empire’s actions in South America are parallel to the empire’s actions in war, so at this time, the last strength of John and the Gallic Empire has not been drained out?)
