Washington 华盛顿 Secretary of state Zafar said calm: „ Mr. President, this is various countries' arms merchant offer, domestic capitalists' offer. 国务卿萨法尔淡定的说:“总统阁下,这是各国军火商报价,还有国内资本家们的报价。 Naturally, this to us not many significances. In was too hasty, the militiamen who in various government forces states in this war the federal government prepares lack the weapon now. 当然,这对我们来说并没有多少意义。在这场战争中联邦政府准备的太仓促了,无论是政府军还是各州的民兵现在都缺武器。 At present, hunting rifle that our many armies or the soldiers bring. In the weaponry, absolutely does not have the means and southern army compares. 目前,我们很多部队还是士兵们自带的猎枪。在武器装备上,根本就没有办法和南方军队比。 Now buys completely the inventories of these arms merchants, is unable to meet our need. Therefore the choice is only a fallacy. ” 现在把这些军火商的存货全部买下来,都无法满足我们需求。所以选择只是一个谬论。” President Lincoln rubbed the forehead, he suspected that the secretary of state comes to find fault specially. Since does not have to choose, that on buying to suppress, has anything to say. 林肯总统揉了揉额头,他非常怀疑国务卿是专门过来找茬的。既然没得选择,那就将就买憋,有啥好说的。 „Sends people to discuss with them, keeping prices down as far as possible, offering highest kicking out.” “派人和他们谈,尽可能的压价,把报价最高的踢出去。” Zafar shakes the head saying: „ Perhaps is not good, the offer highest Austrian, their products are the breech rifles, in the performance is more superior. 萨法尔摇了摇头说:“恐怕不行,报价最高的奥地利人,他们的产品是后膛步枪,性能上要优越一些。 What is most essential is on -hand merchandise in their hand are most, can provide 100,000 breech rifles and 150,000 muzzle-loading rifles to us one time, 800 various artilleries. 最关键的是他们手中的现货最多,可以一次性给我们提供十万支后膛步枪、十五万支前膛步枪,还有八百门各类火炮。 A short time ago they just sold to the southern government 200,000 breech rifles, with 1000 artilleries and certain ammunition, if were not south that group of people were too stupid, these weapons were not one's turn us. ” 前不久他们刚刚卖给了南方政府二十万支后膛步枪,和一千门火炮、若干弹药,如果不是南方那帮人太蠢了,这些武器根本轮不到我们。” It looks like in secretary of state, the south government was too stupid. 在国务卿先生看来,南方政府就是太蠢了。 Isn't in time of war, not earliest possible time uses and various countries' good relations sweeps the goods, making these weaponry flow in the enemy hand, what stupid is? 战争时期,不第一时间利用和各国良好的关系扫货,让这些武器装备流入敌人手中,不是蠢是什么？ As for paying price, money of arms purchase equipment are many, cannot compare the loss that in the battlefield incurs. 至于付出的代价,购买武器装备的钱再多,也比不上战场上带来的损失。 If the southern government first sweeps the goods, then at least over the next half year, the north government is unable to obtain enough weaponry. 如果南方政府第一时间扫货,那么至少在未来半年内,北方政府都无法获得足够的武器装备。 This is the advantage that the communication invariably brings, can hit a time difference. Do not look that the international arm business converge North America, in fact on -hand merchandise in everyone hand was still limited. 这是通信不变带来的优势,可以打一个时间差。不要看国际军火商们云集北美,实际上大家手中的现货仍然有限。 Tens of thousands rifles and several hundred artilleries, several thousand tons ammunition, that was a great writer. Again many, only if Franz that crossing over opens hangs, who the average person does know the American Civil War scale in a big way? 几万条步枪、几百门火炮、几千吨弹药,那都是大手笔了。再多除非是弗朗茨那种穿越者开挂,普通人谁知道南北战争规模有多大？ If stores up goods too, the north and south sudden truces compromised, that pounded completely in the hand, the cost could not receive. 要是囤货太多,南北双方突然停战妥协了,那就全部砸在了手中,成本都收不回来。 Except for the American, the entire world could not find such fool to work as the taking over a business hero. 除了美国人,全世界都找不到这样的冤大头当接盘侠。 Enlivening the arms dealer warehouse in US sweeps spatially , the flower is less than 10 million pounds. Receives in exchange for the enemy with 10 million pounds in six months the underarmed, such business gains completely greatly. 把活跃在美国的军火商人仓库扫空,也花不到一千万英镑。用一千万英镑换取敌人半年内武器装备不足,这样的买卖完全是大赚。 Listened to Zafar's explanation, President Lincoln nearly frightened. 听了萨法尔的解释,林肯总统差点儿吓出了一身冷汗。 Six months, has decided a result of war sufficiently. The southern government has not done fortunately, otherwise the north government was miserable. 半年时间,已经足以决定一场战争的胜负。还好南方政府没这么干,不然北方政府就惨了。 Adjusted a state of mind, Lincoln asked back: „Secretary of state, you asks me to not to say these?” 调整了一下心绪,林肯反问道:“国务卿阁下,你找我不会就是为了说这些的吧？” Secretary of state Zafar explained unhurriedly: „ Of course not. Now the Ossi four big big powers support the southern government, under their influences, various European countries stood in the southern standpoint mostly. 国务卿萨法尔不慌不忙的解释道:“当然不是。现在英法奥西四大列强支持南方政府,在他们的影响下,欧洲各国大都站在了南方立场上。 These arms dealers basically have the political background, in the condition similar situation, they are definitely willing to do business with the southern government. 这些军火商人基本上都有政治背景,在条件差不多的情况下,他们肯定更加愿意和南方政府做生意。 If we bid are higher, the situation was also different. In the face of the benefit, the arms merchants will not care about the idea of government. 如果我们出价更高,情况又不一样了。在利益面前,军火商们可不会在乎政府的想法。 Therefore, I prepare to raise the weaponry price, particularly some advanced weapons. The industrial strengths of southern states are weak, oneself capacity is limited, they can only follow we to increase price. 所以,我准备提高武器装备价格,尤其是一些先进武器。南方各州的工业实力薄弱,自身产能有限,他们只能跟着我们加价。 Different with south that group of rebels, our industrial capacity is not bad, lacking the weaponry is only temporary. 和南方那帮叛徒不一样,我们自身的工业能力不差,缺乏武器装备只是暂时的。 If as expected, starting from the next year our weapon degrees of self-sufficiency can achieve over 85%, perhaps the south government 30% cannot achieve. 如果不出意外的话,从明年开始我们的武器自给率就可以达到百分之八十五以上,南方政府恐怕百分之三十都达不到。 Since the military is unable to gain the victory, then we burn out them economically. ” 既然军事上无法取得胜利,那么我们在经济上拖垮他们。” This is the advantage of north government, but President Lincoln a little also happy, looked that the plan of secretary of state was to prepare dozen of protracted wars. 这是北方政府的优势,可林肯总统一点儿也高兴不起来,看国务卿的计划是准备打持久战了。 Lincoln is frowning to ask: „Don't you have the confidence to our armies?” 林肯皱着眉头问道:“你对我们的军队就这么没有信心么？” Zafar replied seriously: Total military strength that „ Mr. President, the war eruption three months, the federal government had lost already over 80,000. 萨法尔一本正经的回答道:“总统阁下,战争爆发已经三个多月了,联邦政府损失的总兵力已经超过八万。 I acknowledged that the military had tried hard very much, they also obtained a big victory, but is at a disadvantage was still we. 我承认军方已经很努力了,他们也取得了不小的战果,可是处于下风的仍然是我们。 If in the Maryland battlefield presents any accident, the federal government must fight a Washington Battle immediately. I think in the short-term, the federal government does not have the possibility of winning the war. ” 如果马里兰州战场上出现任何变故,联邦政府马上就要打一场华盛顿保卫战。我认为短期内,联邦政府不具备赢得战争的可能。” The attitude of secretary of state to a certain extent, is representing attitude of the federal government internal officials. Since prepares dozen of protracted wars, then also means that everyone stilled the rebellion to lose confidence to the short-term. 国务卿的态度某种程度上来说,也代表着联邦政府内部官员们的态度。既然准备打持久战,那么也意味着大家对短期内平定叛乱丧失了信心。 This is not worst, if the war delayed, the voice of domestic peace advocation group will also surge upward. 这还不是最糟糕的,如果战争拖延了下去,国内主和派的声音还会高涨。 As a qualified politician, Lincoln knows that internal enemy is most terrifying, these people ambush in the hidden place, even he has not known anyone. 作为一名合格的政客,林肯知道内部的敌人才是最恐怖的,这些人潜伏在暗处,甚至他还不知道都有谁。 Hesitant, Lincoln said: „Good, according to your plans does! However we must first solve the fiscal issue, the south government makes the mortgage using the cotton in the overseas issue debentures, we may not have the collateral.” 犹豫了一下,林肯开口说道:“好吧,按照你们的计划去干吧！不过我们首先要解决财政问题,南方政府利用棉花做抵押在海外发行债券,我们可没有抵押品。” The federal government has the collateral, the issue is these collateral, they do not dare to mortgage. Otherwise the domestic people, must first erupt. 联邦政府不是没有抵押品,问题是这些抵押品,他们根本就不敢抵押出去。不然国内的民众们,就要先爆发了。 ...... …… New Guinea, has been changed name to as new Bavaria now. Names to seem like the custom of European at will, Franz has been used. 新几内亚岛,现在已经被改名为新巴伐利亚。随意取名似乎是欧洲人的习惯,弗朗茨都已经习惯了。 This world's second largest island, is Habsburg now, but Franz has not felt any pleasant surprise. 这座世界第二大岛,现在就属于哈布斯堡王朝了,可是弗朗茨并没有感到任何惊喜。 From the resources, new Bavaria might be considered as is also rich, various mineral resources are many, southern Delta plain or entire world most fertile land. 从资源上来说,新巴伐利亚也堪称是丰富,各种矿产资源不少,南部的三角洲平原还是全世界最肥沃的土地。 In island also no powerful indigenous kingdom, initially slightly the indigenous people on estimate this islands not over 1 million, even may be lower than 300,000. 岛上也没有什么强有力的土著王国,初略估计这座岛屿上的原住民不会超过一百万,甚至有可能低于三十万。 But this lands, have not received care of various European countries colonizer. Obviously, this is not normal. 可是这片土地,并没有受到欧洲各国殖民者的眷顾。显然,这是非常不正常的。 Previously, Austria colonizing also first snatched to seize the new Bavaria peripheral islands, for example: Melanesia islands, Kepulauan Skouten and Kepulauan Aru...... 此前,奥地利的殖民活动也是先抢占领新巴伐利亚周边的岛屿,比如说:美拉尼西亚群岛、实珍群岛、阿鲁群岛…… This defines the sphere of influence, takes an oath the sovereignty one way. All around is my domain, the central area you naturally cannot snatch, otherwise went bad the custom. 这是划定势力范围,宣誓主权的一种方式。四周都是我的地盘,中央地区你自然不能来抢了,不然就坏了规矩。 Now after speeding up colonizing the step, colonized the team since the new Bavaria island, the issue appears on a large scale. 现在加快殖民步伐后,殖民团队大举进入新巴伐利亚岛,问题就出现了。 1st, this/should island is the tropical rainforest climate, the years precipitation is big ; 一、该岛为热带雨林气候,年降水量大; 2nd, the downstream topography is low and level, draining water is impeded ; 二、下游地势低平,排水不畅; 3rd, the rivers flood season is long, is easy to submerge the surrounding area ; 三、河流汛期长,易淹没周围地区; 4 th, coast tidal effect by, seawater intrusion and multi- shallow seas and tidelands ; 四、沿海受潮汐影响,海水入侵、多滩涂; 5 th, island mountainous and multi- swampy grounds, are under-populated. 五、全岛多山、多沼泽地,人口稀少。 Summarizes to be to develop this islands, must spend the high price. 总结起来就是要开发这座岛屿,必须要花费大价钱。 At least needs to solve the draining water problem, changing the swampy ground is the farmland, best also probably build against mole, safeguards the coastal area is not affected by the sea tide. 至少要解决排水问题,变沼泽地为农田,最好还要修筑防海堤,保障沿海地区不受海潮影响。 Franz asked: „How does colonizing section prepare dry/does?” 弗朗茨问道:“殖民部准备怎么干？” Colonizes minister Yosip Jelacic to reply: „ Your majesty, we prepares temporarily to put aside the development to new Bavaria island, but develops some areas, establishes several cities to take an oath the sovereignty in the appropriate area. 殖民部长约西普・耶拉契奇回答道:“陛下,我们准备暂时搁置对新巴伐利亚岛的开发,只是开发部分地区,在合适的地区建立几座城市宣誓主权。 Develops the peripheral islands with emphasis, the southern coastal provinces area is really wealthy. Here indigenous people are not engaged in the agricultural production, depends on presenting of nature to live. 重点还是开发周边岛屿,南洋地区真的非常富裕。这里的原住民根本就不从事农业生产,就靠大自然的馈赠为生。 These islands are rich in the tropical fruit, suits the planter coffee, cocoa, copra kernels, the palm oil, tea and rubber and other industrial crops. ” 这些岛屿盛产热带水果,适合种植咖啡、可可、椰干、棕榈油、茶和橡胶等经济作物。” This is the wisest choice, colonizing to make money, conducts the investment blindly is unwise. 这是最明智的选择,殖民是为了赚钱,盲目进行投入是非常不明智的。 In the island is in any case under-populated, is not engaged in the agricultural production, without external force influence, 100 years from now on such. 反正岛上人口稀少,又不从事农业生产,如果没有外力影响,一百年过后还是那样。 Where the islands cannot run away, when the colony in the world carved up, the Vienna government developed here is not late again. 岛屿就在哪里又跑不掉,等世界上的殖民地瓜分完了,维也纳政府再开发这里也不迟。 Franz nods saying: „New Bavaria manages, Lanfang Republic what's the matter?” 弗朗茨点了点头说:“新巴伐利亚就这么办,兰芳共和国又是怎么回事？” If were not in the document mentioned the Lanfang Republic, Franz nearly forgot the southern coastal provinces area also to have a Chinese Republic. 如果不是文件中提到了兰芳共和国,弗朗茨都险些忘了南洋地区还有一个华人共和国。 Yosip Jelacic explained: „ Your majesty, Kalimantan Island is rich in the gold ore, therefore gathered one group of Chinese, founded the Lanfang Republic. 约西普・耶拉契奇解释道:“陛下,加里曼丹岛盛产金矿,因此聚集起来了一群华人,建立了兰芳共和国。 A short time ago the open sea fleet had also visited this country, but also signed the friendly agreement with Count Hummel, we were not good to get angry directly. 前不久远洋舰队还访问过这个国家,还和胡梅尔伯爵签订了友好协议,我们不好直接翻脸。 This small country strength is very weak, colonizes the government to seek for the war to give a pretext, how long should unable to want, we can perish they. ” 这个小国实力很弱,殖民政府正在寻找战争借口,应该要不了多久,我们就可以灭亡他们。” Hesitant, Franz was tenderhearted. 犹豫了一下,弗朗茨还是心软了。 „ First do not take action anxiously, sending a capable in argument person to trick they to join the new Holy Roman Empire. “先不要急着采取行动,派一个能言善辩的人去忽悠他们加入新神圣罗马帝国。 We can them the autonomy, be able to refer to the standard of domestic kingdom, loose point might also as well again. 我们可以给他们自治权,可以参照国内王国的标准,再宽松点儿也无妨。 The southern coastal provinces area was too far, the immigrant who we can provide is limited, wants to develop so many places is also difficult. 南洋地区太远了,我们能够提供的移民有限,想要开发这么多地方也非常困难。 If destroyed completely the Lanfang Republic with the military force, not only need increase military expenses expenses, in a short time is also very difficult to yield many incomes. 如果用武力灭掉了兰芳共和国,不但要增加一笔军费开销,短期内也很难获得多少收益。 Might as well incorporate directly Lanfang company, can make a profit directly, we rule the cost not to need to pay. ” 不如直接收编兰芳公司,直接就可以获利,我们连统治成本都不需要付出。” In Franz opinion Lanfang Republic, is Lanfang company, ruler have not regarded a country this. 在弗朗茨看来兰芳共和国,就是兰芳公司,统治者自己都没有把这当成一个国家。 In the history , because the ruler in Lanfang company, for the self-interest turned to the Dutch, makes this country perish. 历史上,就是因为兰芳公司的统治者为了自身利益投靠了荷兰人,才让这个国家灭亡的。 The military force of Dutch, is not Franz looks down upon them, that is really not much. 荷兰人的武力,不是弗朗茨看不起他们,那是真的不咋地。 The Lanfang Republic is situated in southern coastal provinces, can obtain enough immigration, there is a sufficient land to be for the development. If the ruling class does not degenerate, vigorously develops the strength, unifying the southern coastal provinces area is not the dream. 兰芳共和国地处南洋,可以获得足够的移民,又有充足的土地可供开发。如果统治阶级不堕落,努力发展自身实力,统一南洋地区都不是梦。 Can turn to the Dutch, naturally can also turn to the Austrian. Several noble titles pound, it is estimated that this group of people on resistance seduction. 能够投靠荷兰人,自然也可以投靠奥地利人了。几个贵族头衔砸下去,估计这帮人就抵御不住诱惑了。 This is also accords to his need, the Lanfang Republic can obtain the protection of Austria, the Vienna government increased an income. 这也算是各取所需,兰芳共和国可以获得奥地利的保护,维也纳政府增加了一笔收入。 „Yes, your majesty!” “是,陛下！” Although thought that Franz today's doing wind and past were different, Yosip Jelacic had not opposed, this serves the Austrian interests. 尽管觉得弗朗茨今天的做风和往日有所不同,约西普・耶拉契奇也没有反对,这是符合奥地利利益的。 The essence that the overseas colonize to make a profit, as for makes a profit in what way, that is unimportant. 海外殖民的本质就是为了获利,至于通过什么方式获利,那都不重要。 This is different from the African continent. The Vienna government is the preparation builds Germany's second homeland in Africa, is naturally impossible to rule at will. 这和非洲大陆不一样。维也纳政府是准备在非洲建立德意志第二家园,自然不可能随意统治。 Although Franz's plan somewhat indulges in fantasy, the cost that but needs to pay is low, tries also to might as well. 弗朗茨的计划虽然有些异想天开,不过需要付出的成本非常低,尝试一下也无妨。 Succeeded, anything does not need to do, the Vienna government increased an income, the industry and commerce of Austria also increased a market. 成功了,什么都不用干,维也纳政府就增加了一笔收入,奥地利的工商业也增加了一个市场。 Was defeated, at the worst wastes a little time. 失败了,大不了浪费一点儿时间。
