Chapter 416: The Legion of the Americas has set sail
Gao Junshan said: "The amount of paper money issued must be limited to the amount of money needed in circulation, and if there is too much paper money, inflation may occur." ”
"What is inflation?" Cao Minghao asked.
Gao Junshan explained: "The depreciation of the currency and the comprehensive and sustained rise in the price level caused by the amount of money in circulation exceeding the actual needs of the economy are called inflation. ”
Cao Minghao looked dazed, Gao Junshan didn't have time to explain too much to him, and at this time he was almost at the headquarters of the Tenth Army Corps, he smiled faintly and said, "In the future, you will slowly understand in practice." I have made a decree to the Bank of Yangon that after the issuance of this first batch of banknotes, the silver coins that are not in good condition should be returned to the national treasury first, and such a move is welcomed by the people. ”
Cao Minghao asked: "If we take back the silver coins that are not in good condition, won't our treasury have to lose money?" ”
Gao Junshan said: "Where did the treasury come from? We printed all those banknotes. ”
Cao Minghao became excited: "That's right! We can print as much as we want! ”
Gao Junshan seriously criticized Cao Minghao's thinking: "Paper money cannot be issued as much as you want, depending on the actual amount of money in circulation, we must follow this law, otherwise it will inevitably cause inflation." ”
Cao Minghao didn't seem to understand, and at this time, the carriage had already entered the compound of the headquarters.
Ruan Fangqing was already waiting for Gao Junshan at the gate of the compound, Gao Junshan got out of the carriage and saw Ruan Fangqing, and asked her to go back to the villa first, Ruan Fangqing saw Gao Junshan with her own eyes, and a big stone in her heart also fell to the ground, so she went back first with confidence.
Feng Shuangli, the commander of the 10th Army Corps, led a group of civil and military personnel to greet Gao Junshan at the gate.
Feng Shuangli came to Gao Junshan and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard all the way, or should you go back with your wife?" ”
Feng Shuangli is Gao Junshan's favorite general, and it is normal for him to say this to show his concern for Gao Junshan.
Gao Junshan said: "State affairs are important, let's go to the meeting first, I have important tasks for you." ”
Gao Junshan ordered that Ma Yuanli's Fifth Army, which was stationed in Fujian, be sent to the Nanyang Islands.
Order: The 501st, 502nd, 503rd, 504th Divisions and the headquarters of the Fifth Army Corps landed on Borneo; The 505th Division landed in Aceh, the 506th Division landed in Sumatra, the 507th Division landed in Banten, and the 508th Division landed in Mataram.
Feng Shuangli's 10th Army and Sun Dahai's 9th Army coordinated Ma Yuanli's landing on the island.
In the operation of landing on the islands, if you encounter the resistance of the Turks, you will be killed!
Gao Junshan means to forcibly occupy these islands, and these places will inevitably fall into the hands of Westerners if they are not included in the sphere of influence of China as soon as possible.
This is just the first step, and the next step will be to march into Sulu and Luzon, and then to Australia and New Zealand.
After the order was given, Gao Junshan received a call from Legion of the Americas commander Makin saying that their fleet had set sail.
Gao Junshan sent a telegram to Ma Jin, making sure to report their experiences along the way in a timely manner.
……
Ma Jin was on the battleship "Zheng He VI" at this time, and he stood on the deck of the third floor admiring the exotic scenery.
The entire fleet was lined up in a long line, all of which were steam engine ships (ships), and this fleet included four battleships and twenty-seven steam engine steamers of more than 3,000 tons.
In this fleet, the two ships at the front were the battleships "Zheng He No. 6" and "Wuchang No. 8", and the two ships at the back were the battleships "Wuchang No. 19" and "Zheng He No. 15", and Li Feixiong's First Marine Division was also sent to this fleet.
Of the twenty-seven ships, twenty-five were of 3,000 tons, and two of the largest, of 5,000 tons.
These twenty-seven steamers carried 15,000 Chinese immigrants, as well as the provisions, energy, and some ammunition necessary for the entire fleet during the voyage, as well as the necessities of life after reaching the destination.
Because of the nautical charts in hand, although this is the first time to cross the Atlantic, the Chinese Navy, which has been very mature, faces the vast Atlantic Ocean, from the captain to the sailors, all of them are very calm and calm, not at all like the first voyage.
"Commander Ma, it's windy on deck, please go back to the rest cabin."
It was the young Navy Captain Gongsun Hao, who was the operational staff officer of the ship "Zheng He No. 6".
Ma Jin nodded and said, "This wind is getting stronger and stronger, let's go, go back to the rest cabin!" ”
Gongsun Hao followed behind Ma Jin, and said as he walked: "After we leave the coast, we will encounter heavy fog, even if we stay on the deck, the visibility on the sea will drop very low. ”
The two walked into the rest cabin, because this voyage obviously had no combat mission, and Gongsun Hao, as an operational staff officer, was the most leisurely.
Because he is an operational staff officer, he usually assists the captain in directing the battle at the command platform, so his rest cabin is also in the front building.
His rest cabin was diagonally opposite Ma Jin, next to the captain, and in the same cabin as him were Lin Zhenggang, deputy chief of staff, Xu Tingjian, a newspaper operator, and An Yunfei, commander of Qiyu.
He returned to his rest cabin, and at this time, there was another person in the cabin, and this person was Chang An Yunfei, the commander of Qiyu.
"Commander An, are you alone?"
An Yunfei was lying on the bed reading a book, he raised his head and said, "The Xu operator is on duty, and Deputy Chief of Staff Lin went to the rest room."
The lounge is connected to the dining room, which is a place for the admirals to relax and read, located on the second floor.
Gongsun Hao came to An Yunfei's bedside and said, "Don't read here, let's go, come with me to the lounge, where there are a lot of new books added to the bookcase." ”
An Yunfei said: "Go by yourself, I'm going to finish reading this book and give it back to others." ”
Gongsun Hao said: "From now on, you have a lot of time to read, and we won't be able to reach the Americas in a month on this voyage." You lie down like this every day and read books, and you will be lazy before you arrive in America! ”
"Finally, there is time to sleep in, and you will make trouble,"
"Okay, you sleep, you sleep, I won't bother you." Gongsun Hao laughed and walked out.
An Yunfei said: "Don't forget to make a lunch for me when you come back." ”
"Say you're lazy, you're really lazy." After Gongsun Hao finished speaking, he closed the hatch and went downstairs.
He came to the hall on the second floor, this hall is divided into two parts: the restaurant and the lounge, now is not the time for dinner, the restaurant is empty, there are a few people in the lounge, all of them are quietly reading, a few people sit on the sofa by the window and look at the sea.
He came to the bookcase, opened the bookcase and looked through the books inside, there were really a lot of newly published books, many of which were popular science books, and these books were compiled and published by Chongwen Academy.
He saw a book on how to ride a bicycle and was intrigued, so he took it out and sat down on the couch to look through it. ()
