In addition to the New Republic of China, according to the current ranking of comprehensive national strength, they are the Mizi Country, the Gaul Country, the Mao Bear Country, the Free Country, and the Germanic Country.
Among them, the Free State and the Germanic State were engaged in a civil war.
If any one of the above powerful countries is annexed now, it will definitely cause several other countries to join forces to encircle and suppress it. Moreover, no country can withstand the full attack of any two big powers above.
In such a complex game environment, China can only gradually weaken these powerful countries, gradually liberate nearby small feudal countries, and then start a full-scale war when it has sufficient strength.
Since the defeat of the Crimean War, the Furry Bear Country's control over the Far East has weakened. It has always been afraid that the Mizu Congress will invade Alaska, and the national treasury is empty, so the idea of selling the Alaska region was born.
Blue Star In September 1862, the New Republic of China established diplomatic relations with other countries around the world.
The great powers bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as you are strong, they will cooperate with you one after another.
Blue Star On September 10, 1862, Shi Dakai met with the Ambassador of Mao Xiongguo in the Chinese government office.
Someone had been sent to inform the Fur Bear Country of the purchase intention.
"Dear Mr. President, we welcome the opportunity to engage in this negotiation. On behalf of the Government of the Woolly Bear Nation, I would like to discuss the sale of Alaska with you."
The Minister of the Bear Country was a little impatient.
"Mr. Minister, don't worry, let's have a cup of our Chinese tea first."
Shi Dakai motioned to the staff next to him to hand over tea. If you want to negotiate a good price, you can't be in a hurry.
"Mr. Minister, I know that the current financial situation of the Woolly Bear Country is very tight, and the Alaska region is full of frozen soil. It is difficult to grow food. It has little use value. Moreover, it may be occupied by the British army in East Asia at any time."
"The reason why I want to buy it is actually to establish good diplomatic relations with the Bear Country and help you get through this difficult time."
The Minister of Mao Xiong Kingdom did not expect that Shi Dakai could see this issue so clearly, which meant that Shi Dakai already knew all the trump cards.
If the Mi-zi country occupies the Alaska region, then the Wooly Bear country will not even have a chance to sell it.
"Mr. President, I would like to hear the quotation of the New Republic of China for Alaska."
The Minister of Mao Xiong Kingdom was sweating a little.
"The fixed price is 1.3 million Chinese yuan, and our country can pay it immediately."
In Shi Dakai's original world, the amount of this transaction was US$7.2 million. At that time, the whole world thought that the Free State was too expensive.
According to the current exchange rate, 1.3 million Chinese RMB is close to 6.5 million US dollars, which is a very good price.
The Minister of Mao Xiong visited many countries, but no one was willing to buy it. This price has exceeded their emperor's budget, and if they can get such a large sum of money immediately, if they don't sell it, the United States may occupy Alaska tomorrow.
"Wise Mr. President, we can accept this price. I hope you can make an appointment with us as soon as possible to sign a purchase treaty."
The Minister of Mao Xiong Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief. The price was not low, and it was considered a meritorious service to go back this time.
"Then it will be scheduled for October 1 this year. After the contract is signed, we will deliver the cash immediately."
"Thank you very much, Mr. President, our emperor is willing to maintain friendly and cooperative relations with the New Republic of China!"
The Minister of the Bear Country is still feeling proud of selling Alaska at a high price.
However, this may be the most cost-effective real estate transaction in history.
Because there are a large number of gold, silver, coal and other mineral resources in the 1.7 million square kilometers of Alaska. When the gold rush broke out later, it was said that Alaska is full of gold.
With the Alaska region, the Chinese Army can establish a base here, and can directly go south to take Dongzhou from here. The army is always China's trump card, so it can avoid conflicts with the powerful navies of the United States and the Free State.
Although the Alaska region is far away from the Chinese mainland, the neighboring country does not dare to conflict with the Chinese Army now. After all, it just suffered a severe beating from the Chinese Army.
