Chapter 59: The Economic Crisis
What are you going to do? Of course, I was going to negotiate, but I didn't ...... after the negotiation!
Vice Admiral Luknar's 1st Naval Fleet, which had completed its combat mission, had not left the area, and they were still on orders to go to war at any time, and according to the instructions that had been received, it was very likely that the British would take advantage of the beginning of negotiations to launch a major military attack in this area.
Attacking while negotiating is an old method often used by the British, who gather forces during negotiations and attack during negotiations. If there is a military victory, then the negotiations will naturally have an advantage, and they often used this method until the British Empire was still on the rise before the end of World War I.
Thus, Vice Admiral Luknar's fleet was both a show of force and a response to an imminent attack on the British side. As for dealing with this offensive, everything has long been in the mind of Lieutenant General Luknar for a long time.
As for the negotiations, he naturally doesn't have to think about it, so who should think about it?
In November 1917, the "Xia" airship was the latest of the small official airships, which were used as the official airships of the "Kotoshima regime", mainly to transport officials from other forces connected with the "Kotoshima regime", which was for security reasons.
The figure appeared in the sky above the city of Kotoshima, which had begun to take shape, and from the moment he got off the car, he directly reached the eyes of the British minister in the comfortable living room, and from the greedy island in the sky (1) (Ben ~ read ( in this rapidly developing city.
Over the course of a few months, the city's wide highways have been networked, and overpasses and immediate transit systems have given the city a more modern feel. As a future administrative need, the streets here were built wide and clean. More buildings and buildings were being built at the same time, and the British Minister could not help but ask.
"Where did these guys get all that money!"
When it comes to money, when money is constantly being transformed into physical objects, there is not much money in hand.
"We've started to lose money now, we've built too much, I'm afraid we'll be finished if my brother continues like this!"
Angry, the economic development of Mike. Lang yelled at Tang Yunyang, so he just scolded him for f->
Now, although Guangdong and Shanghai have seen the development of Shandong, a large amount of investment has flocked here. After all, there was the first airplane, airship, automobile, tractor and other machinery manufacturing industry here, but the biggest problem was that the construction stall was too large. A rich man like Lang is not enough to compensate.
But he couldn't ignore it, when the "Qindao regime" was formally established, in addition to the provincial councils, there were ministers from various ministries. Lang was unfortunate enough to become the Minister of Economic Development. Gu Weijun is naturally the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Li Shizeng, before Cai Yuanpei came here, he was the head of the Ministry of Culture.
Now that he was in economic difficulties, he had no choice but to come to Tang Yunyang, who was the commander-in-chief of the Chinese National Defense Forces and the political officer of the "Qindao regime".
But the person who was scolded didn't care at all, sitting behind the big desk, he only said one word.
"I have my own measure, I promise to solve the problem within two months, what do you think, you tell me honestly, do you have two months to last?"
Sitting on the sofa not far away, Mike, who had just finished getting angry. Lang looked at the information in front of him and pouted. The current construction ** for them is actually the huge investment in various projects, although it can be expected that the future income will also be very huge, but now the financial pressure of various projects, has made Mike. Lang felt like he was about to run out of work.
"I once told you that our construction cannot be carried out in this way, the economy has its own laws, and we cannot stand it if we continue to do this! For the time being, if we can slow down the progress of military expansion, we may be able to support it for a longer time, otherwise I can guarantee that we will collapse within a month, and if the economy collapses, we will be finished! ”
"A month? One month is enough! ”
Tang Yunyang is obviously very confident in the current construction. Lang is not at all worried about the economic collapse that is about to break out in one month, he is only worried about one thing, the speed of construction is not fast enough.
This large-scale construction is a necessary prerequisite for the future unification of China and the defeat of the warlords in the immediate lineage, a prerequisite for participating in the reconstruction of Europe after the end of World War I, and a prerequisite for the influx of commodities into Europe and the United States before Europe recovers.
Without this premise, even without the military intervention of the other side, the new Chinese regime will return to the bad situation of the past under the economic pressure of the other side, which must be done by relying on their funds to develop, which is a necessary thing for Tang Yunyang, who does not intend to close himself off from the rest of the country.
For the economic danger, for a soldier from a background, for a robber character, it is not difficult at all.
"Don't worry brother, the current rush will come to an end after the construction of Shandong, now we have to deal with the British minister who has landed here, especially the attack from the Indian Ocean and the British and Australian fleets from the new slope and Sydney, if we lose this battle, it will lose the cohesion that the Chinese have just united, will destroy their last bit of hope, my brother is what I am most afraid of!"
In desperation, Mike. Lang had to put aside the economic crisis for the time being, after all, the financial crisis would break out in a month, and this big war was just around the corner.
He eased his mood and talked to Tang Yunyang about the negotiations they were about to start.
"So what do you think about this negotiation?"
As he spoke, Jane, as his advisor to culture, health, and science. Merlin appeared beside them. Due to her special differentiation, she now has to leave the Green Rose Hospital to care for her husband's career, which of course does not affect the operation of her own laboratory.
Because of her leisure, she is now often by Tang Yunyang's side during the day, and naturally the task of bringing him indispensable coffee has become another kind of responsibility for her.
"Don't give an inch, and if we fight well at sea, this time we want the British to return Hong Kong to us, you and Gu Weijun must be clear, this time we will tell them unmistakably that we can't be too poor, especially our economic construction doesn't want to be interfered with by anyone!
For example, if the consortium of their country interferes with us, or the consortium of other European and American countries interferes with us at the behest of the state, then sorry, don't blame us for taking advantage of their colonies. Hmph, if we are poor, then the whole world will have to be poor with us. I can't live my life, so don't think about living a good life! ”
Hearing Tang Yunyang's "unruly" "declaration", Mike. Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and cursed.
"Do you know about this policy, Mr. Gu, if he knew that you were such a robber embryo, would he regret joining the China Renaissance Party in the first place!"
It is not the first time that Tang Yunyang has been called a robber, and it is actually nothing, but he doesn't like this title very much.
"Well, Brother Mike really doesn't like this name, you know what our hometown says, our hometown calls us bandits, in fact, this name is my appetite!"
"Let's watch the first release together, please support genuine reading, and support the author's creation" Don't laugh and give birth to a group: 35761481; Mailbox:.
The British minister, who came to the airport between Qingdao and Qindao, was not sure whether he should be angry or happy at such a reception.
It was Gu Weijun who came here to greet him, and he was used to the Chinese nodding to him, that is, he did not see more people greeting him, nor did he see people nodding to him. Even the man who greeted him only took off his hat to greet him.
As he took off his hat and greeted those who greeted him below, he walked down with a sistle. Gu Weijun and Tang Shaoyi, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted them.
"Are you Mr. Tang, the leader of Shandong?"
The British minister was often arrogant to other local government officials in China, and at least in China where etiquette was keenary, he had not seen any local magistrate dare to behave disrespectfully to him. Therefore, there was no more politeness in his words, and the restrictive word "Shandong place" was naturally added to his tone.
Seeing that he didn't first stretch out his hand to shake hands, the smiles on the faces of the two people on the other side turned cold almost at the same moment, and they were replaced by an almost sneering look.
"Mr. Ambassador, I think you are mistaken, I am just the foreign minister under Mr. Tang, it is a pity that our local leaders in Shandong, I'm afraid you can't see it, I believe you saw it on the airship, he is busy with local construction work, so his time is very precious!"
Gu Weijun's answer was not only cold, but also omitted a polite welcome phrase, as if these were enough to make the British envoy mutter in his heart.
"Could it be that this kind of coldness means that these guys are using these things to demonstrate to me that they will fight to the end?"
Although he was not so happy to be treated with such a cold reception for the first time in the East, which was always respected, the British were British, and they were generally quite respectful of opponents who dared to fight them.
The British minister stretched out his hand in the face of Tang Shaoyi and Gu Weijun's son-in-law, and while shaking hands with them, he skillfully expressed his humility.
"Oh, that's a pity, I've been praising in my heart that the construction of this city is so wonderful just now on top of the airship, and since he's too busy with his work, I won't bother. In addition, I think that if I can meet with that Mr. Tang, it will be more conducive to clarifying some misunderstandings between us! ”
