Chapter 431: The Plague Ravages Britain

Gao Junshan was very concerned about the blockade of the Dutch by the British fleet, and in June, he received a report from the General Affairs Bureau that the British fleet had to withdraw its fleet to the Thames because of its exhaustion.

In addition, the Bureau of Communications reported that there was an epidemic of the Black Death in the United Kingdom, and that more than 30,000 people had died from it.

Gao Junshan has been reading medical books for a while, and he knows that the so-called Black Death is the plague, which is one of the most serious infectious diseases that endanger mankind.

According to the report of the General Affairs Bureau, the Black Death is still raging in Britain, and the number of deaths from the camp is still rising, which is a disaster for Britain, which is already in a state of chaos.

To add insult to injury, the British economy has declined, and the British side has requested emergency assistance from Huaxia.

Gao Junshan immediately sent a telegram to Shoufu Baili Sofa, and he asked Bailisha to immediately organize a financial negotiation mission to Britain to conduct a new round of negotiations with Britain.

Gao Junshan demanded that the negotiation delegation must be attended by members of the board of directors of Huaxia Bank, and Gao Junshan also determined the conditions for the negotiations, and this negotiation condition cannot be changed, that is, Huaxia Guo will lend 100 million Huaxia dollars to Britain at an annual interest rate of 24 percent.

That's right, the currency lent by Huaxia is Huaxia currency, that is, after the British get this money, they will eventually buy Huaxia products.

Of course, Huaxia's help to Britain is still in practice, not just a loan.

The outbreak of the plague is in the middle of summer, and it is now May, which means that Britain must suppress the spread of the plague as soon as possible, otherwise, in July and August, the plague will not be controlled, and the death toll will rise sharply, which Gao Junshan does not want to see, if Britain falls, the Netherlands will be even more rampant.

Therefore, Gao Junshan emphasized in his telegram to Bailisha that it is necessary to organize pharmaceutical factories in Huaxia to produce drugs to eliminate plague in large quantities, and these drugs are available in the medical code of Huaxia, and Huaxia is fully capable of producing drugs to eliminate plague.

Gao Junshan also informed the mayor of Yangon, Cao Minghao, that he should set up another fleet to support the British, and this fleet must have the first 10,000-ton ship launched in China, and he ordered the Admiralty to transfer two Zhenghe-class battleships to escort this fleet.

In this way, a large number of drugs were loaded onto 10,000-ton ships, waiting to set sail and be shipped to the United Kingdom.

The members of the five-member team are: Dai Wentao, the first president of the Huaxia Bank, a senior financial expert, Li Dingguo, vice president of the Chongwen School of Finance, Zhang Chunming, a senior financial expert, deputy director of the Huaxia Currency Development Bureau, Yang Shiping, a senior financial expert, and Cheng Dazhong, deputy director of the Huaxia National Bank Currency Supervision and Production Bureau, a senior financial expert.

The head of this negotiating mission was Dai Wentao. When the mission received the order, it rushed to Rangoon, where they were to board a ship and go to England to negotiate with them.

The convoy docked in Rangoon was tasked with transporting the negotiating team to England and bringing medicine with them to England, and it also had the task of transporting a group of immigrants to the Americas to the British transit station, as well as some of the necessities needed by the American Corps.

The batch of medicines transported must first meet the needs of the Chinese people in England, which is necessary to ensure this, and in order to prevent accidents, some must be reserved for the American Legion in the Americas.

The national strength of Huaxia is quite strong, and under Gao Junshan's order, in a very short period of time, the major pharmaceutical factories have produced enough medicines, and they have been loaded with 10,000-ton ships before the British negotiation team arrives in Yangon, so the medicines sent to the British are quite sufficient.

"Will Britain survive this?" The fifth son, Gao Qingsong, asked Gao Junshan worriedly.

Gao Junshan knew that Britain would not be defeated by such a thing as the plague, and Huaxia was just using this incident as an opportunity to intervene in the British financial market. So he said to his son: "Five treasures, as long as we work together and firmly support the British, there will be no terrible difficulties." ”

Gao Qingsong was naΓ―ve after all, he asked Gao Junshan: "Father, they are in difficulty, why should we help them?" ”

Gao Junshan had no choice but to tell his son the truth: "Five treasures, don't do anything unprofitable, since you do it for your father, you will definitely have a rich reward." First of all, we help the British people to tide over this difficult time, and emotionally speaking, their future decisions will definitely be biased in favor of our opinions, after all, we have been kind to them. Secondly, we nominally help them and give them a loan of 100 million, but this 100 million is not a silver coin, let alone a gold coin, it is our Chinese banknote, and they have to go back to buy things from us when they get this banknote, if they don't buy things from us, those banknotes are a piece of waste paper in their hands. Besides, they borrowed money from me to pay it back, and we put a heavy burden on them, which is interest. Just wait and see, once they use our money, they will be out of control, and they will squander money so easily, and I dare to conclude that they will take the initiative to ask us for a loan in the future. ”

How to operate the loan between countries, Gao Junshan is not engaged in finance after all, he can't explain it to Gao Qingsong thoroughly, but he believes that the masters of the Chinese financial industry will not let him down, and sending them to the UK will definitely be able to increase the value of the Chinese currency.

The next day, Cao Wenzhao sent a telegram reporting to Gao Junshan that they had exchanged fire with Aurangzeb's Chinese army, and had won the first battle, annihilating the elephants of the Mughal army.

At the same time, he also received a telegram from Bai Wenxuan, Bai Wenxuan's Southern Route Army had launched an offensive in the southern region of the Mughal Kingdom, and the defenders in this area were led by the third son of the Mughal king Shah Jahan, who had been captured by the Fourth Army, and Bai Wenxuan asked for instructions on what to do with this man.

Gao Junshan telegraphed Bai Wenxuan back, asking them to consolidate the area they had occupied, and at the same time, continue to march north to join Cao Wenzhao's Northern Route Army. Shah Jahan's son was temporarily imprisoned and will be dealt with when the war is over.

Compared with the Mughal State, the Huaxia State has an absolute advantage in force, so there is no suspense about the outcome of this war.

A few days after the reunion in Xichang, Gao Oasis is about to return to Mongolia, he is now the king of Mongolia, so Gao Junshan is particularly concerned about him, hoping that he can mature in practice.

"Four treasures, I will send you." At the gates of the palace, the high mountains are on the high oasis road on horseback.

Gao Oasis has lived on the grassland for many years and is used to riding horses, so instead of taking a carriage to the train station, he rides a tall horse.

Gao Oasis got off the horse and said to Gao Junshan: "Father, you don't need to send it, the child rides to the train station, and he is not used to riding in a carriage." ”

Gao Junshan said: "You can go on horseback by yourself, but my father has a few words to say to you." ”

"Please ask my father for advice!"

Gao Junshan told Gao Oasis that it was necessary to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the Mongolian princes and nobles, let them manage, give them a certain degree of autonomy, and give them a certain amount of honor.
