Chapter 735 Wolfe Plan

"Hahaha... Silver is a small matter. As long as you are willing to sell, my Wu Kingdom can afford any amount of silver." Liang Kai laughed out loud.

He has handed the sailing warship blueprint given to him by Yanzhou to the shipbuilder of Wu.

Since the establishment of Dasong, his Liang family has taken over the maritime trade, and the shipbuilding skills are second to none in Dasong.

In just one or two years, Wu can have its own sailing warship.

But having a sailing warship alone is not enough, he also wants better firearms.

So the British agreed to this, which made him excited.

Wolf nodded, selling firearms to Wu was also in line with Britain's interests.

First, Britain has always been in a trade deficit with Wu for a long time, and selling firearms can recover some of the interests.

Second, after analysis by Japan, Sam and them, this King of Yan will not be as easily manipulated as Wu, and is an extremely tough person.

Let him unify Dasong, they can't expect to get the most favored nation privileges like in Japan.

Therefore, they must do their best to keep Dasong in its current state of division.

Importing firearms will undoubtedly make it difficult for King Yan to capture Jiangnan.

"Of course, we also have a request." Wolfe's eyes flashed with a strange color, and his tone suddenly became soft.

Liang Kai was in high spirits, he said: "As long as my Wu can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

Wolfe smiled, "Actually, it's nothing, the governor just wants to sell one commodity to Wu, opium."

"Opium?" Liang Kai understood, "It's a small matter, a small matter, I agree. "

The children of the Liang family who went to Tianzhu for trade once mentioned that the dignitaries of Tianzhu liked to smoke opium.

In recent years, some children of the Liang family have brought it back and smoked it at home.

It is said that those who smoke it are as happy as gods.

So for him, this opium is just an object of leisure and enjoyment, and he has never thought about anything else.

Naturally, he agreed happily.

"That's great. Not only will Governor Bolt be happy, but Her Majesty the Queen will also be happy. Maybe she will agree to sell steamships to your Wu country in the future. "Wolf painted a big pie for Liang Kai.

Sato Shinjiu on the side looked at Liang Kai, feeling a little gloating.

He Liang Kai didn't understand the harm of opium, but he knew it clearly.

Soon after he arrived in Lincheng and met Wolf, Wolf proposed to sell opium to Japan.

He didn't rush to agree to this matter, but asked the envoy of the United States.

From the envoy of the United States, he learned that Britain was ready to sell opium to the East, and also learned about the harm of opium, so he rejected Wolf.

Of course, Wolf would not give up easily, but because he was worried that Japan would completely turn to the United States, After he refused several times, Wolfe stopped mentioning the matter.

Wu was not so lucky, and he would not remind Liang Kai.

After all, he hoped that everyone in Wu would become a sick man who smoked opium, which was in the interests of Japan.

By then, even if the King of Yan unified Dasong, he would still face a mess of opium everywhere.

At his request, the envoys of the United States did not remind Liang Kai.

In terms of relationship, Japan and the United States are closer.

They are also worried that the King of Yan will unify Dasong in the future.

In this way, Japan will become more important in the future.

Therefore, compared with Wu, they are more reluctant to offend Japan.

"Steamship? This... This is so unexpected." Liang Kai was more surprised and smiled.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Wolfe extended his hand to Liang Kai.

Liang Kai was stunned for a moment, knowing that this was the etiquette of the British, so he also extended his hand.

After saying this, Wolfe's expression became serious, "Well, now it's time to talk about how to deal with the King of Yan. "

Take out a blueprint and spread it on the table, "At present, the firearms of your clan and Japan are far inferior to those of the King of Yan. Fighting head-on with the King of Yan's troops will only deplete your strength, so it is best to maintain the status quo for now. After equipping our British firearms, it will not be too late to attack the King of Yan in the north. "

Liang Kai, Xie Duan, Han Zheng and Wang Zian nodded.

At this time, crossing Jiujiang to fight the King of Yan is simply to continue to die.

"But even so, we can't do nothing." Wolf narrowed his eyes and pointed to a place, "Now, we need to make this place chaotic, and it would be best if we can control it. "

The place he pointed to was Goryeo.

Governor Bolt authorized him to take actions that benefit Britain according to strategic needs.

These days, he received a message from Japan that Beidi and Russia have established close ties.

And Russia is putting pressure on Beidi, demanding that Beidi not join the East Earth Alliance.

Because of this, there were no Beidi envoys at the ceremony.

According to the Japanese, the Beidi people are somewhat wavering and need to be prepared for both situations.

Russia, Britain's mortal enemy.

Their conflicts have been The Western Land has spread to the Central Land, and now it has extended to the Eastern Land.

As the Empire on which the sun never sets, the most powerful country in the world, they will not allow the Russian State to rise.

Now, the Russian State is intervening in the affairs of the Eastern Land through the Northern Di.

So, how could he satisfy the Russian people? He must prevent the Russian State from taking advantage of the Eastern Land.

So, after careful consideration, he placed his chess piece in the position of Goryeo.

This Goryeo borders part of the Northern Di and Ningjin Dusi.

It is a vassal state of the Northern Di, but secretly has trade relations with the King of Yan.

Controlling Goryeo would be equivalent to cutting off King Yan's only overseas market.

The development of Jiangbei will inevitably suffer heavy setbacks.

At the same time, the current involvement of the Russian state in the Eastern Territory is not deep.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to control Goryeo, it can serve as a bridgehead to resist the expansion of the Russian state in the east.

Another point is that if Beidi really decides to fall to the Russian state, controlling Goryeo can also give Beidi a disincentive.

Let Beidi Khan choose one again between the Rus Kingdom and the Eastern-Turk Alliance.

It's literally killing three birds with one stone.

Of course, there is another very important point. He also took Japan into consideration when he launched this plan.

He knew that the Japanese had always been eager to occupy Goryeo.

This plan will receive full support from the Japanese people.

After all, he can ensure Japan's maritime security and ensure that the Japanese army can successfully reach Goryeo.

Sure enough, Sato Maki's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "The general will support this plan. The Goryeo army is extremely weak and does not have many firearms at all. As long as the Japanese army can set foot on Goryeo's land, it will be possible to defeat the Japanese army in three months." its demise."

The envoy of the Sam Kingdom spread his hands. He only had to follow the alliance's plan and had no other opinions.

Liang Kai was happy to see the disaster diverted to the east.

In this way, he can live a peaceful life and receive Britain's firearms while training.

So he said: "We, Wu State, are willing to provide necessary help."

He promised to rule across the river with King Yan, but their fight against Goryeo had nothing to do with King Yan.

Goryeo was nominally a vassal of Beidi, and was even hostile to King Yan. This was not considered a violation of its promise to King Yan.

Seeing that his plan was recognized, Wolf felt excited and said: "We should once again confirm Beidi's attitude in the name of the Eastern-Turkish Alliance. If Beidi remains stubborn, this plan can be launched."
