"This time, under the manipulation of the gentleman, after deducting the 20 million pounds paid to the Dutch, we have made a profit of at least 100 million pounds!" Fan Qianhai said happily to Hu Zhen, and he couldn't help but say rudely: "His grandmother's, if we come to fight with a European country again, we will earn more!" ”

Hearing Sven's Fan Qianhai's rude words, Hu Zhen showed a smile on his face: "There is only one Netherlands, not every European country has the opportunity to calculate for us like the Netherlands!" ”

Hu Zhen knew that history had been disturbed by himself, and the trajectory had begun to change, and the situation of various countries would definitely not be the same as before, and it would be more and more difficult for him to grasp the opportunity to calculate other people's entire countries based on the known history. ↑，

"Now we have more than 200 million pounds of wealth in our hands, which is equal to the financial revenue of the Qing Dynasty for 17 years. If we use the stock market and bond market, we can now leverage 500 million or 600 million pounds of funds, which can completely destroy a country's economy, and if all of them are concentrated in our territory in Nanyang, we can also completely enrich the country and strengthen the army! ”

What Fan Qianhai didn't know, Hu Zhen let the nuclear submarine salvage gold and silver treasures everywhere in the southwest Pacific, and there was at least fifty or sixty million pounds worth of wealth hidden in a secret place that he didn't know.

"We must be cautious in fighting an economic war, if we don't do it, it will kill 3,000 enemies and lose 800 ourselves, besides, we have not yet reached the time to declare war on the whole world, and the most important thing for us now is to rapidly develop the industrial strength of Great China and rapidly improve the quality of personnel in Great China. Only then can we stand on our own feet in the world and not fall! ”

Hu Zhen didn't want everyone to know about the resources he had. just shook his head and denied Fan Qianhai's idea of launching an economic war to destroy other countries. And asked: "I have ordered the return of those who studied navy in England, I wonder if they have acted?" And the other day we increased the order of warships to the English Empire, the German Empire, how is the situation going? ”

Hearing Hu Zhen's inquiry, Fan Qianhai realized that he was a little too carried away, after all, it was Hu Zhen who was in control of the direction of the big politics, and he must not talk about himself like this, so he immediately came back to his senses and replied:

"Zheng Dingbang and 300 others have been studying in England for a year. They and the sailors of Pacific Shipping are already on their way back with two new cruisers with a displacement of 3,200 tons that we ordered in England to tow four torpedo boats! The four 3,200-ton cruisers and four 4,500-ton cruisers that we had ordered from England with a loan in pounds had been successfully placed, but the six 12,000-ton battleships we wanted to order were rejected by the British Empire, saying that we only relied on loans to order warships, and that we were afraid that we would not be able to repay the loans, and that we did not have enough manpower to drive them, and that their British Far East Fleet could provide us with adequate protection. The two 5,000-ton cruisers ordered by the German Empire have been successfully ordered, and the Germans always pull us to order more warships, but everyone thinks that Germany's warship technology is far from that of England, and they do not advocate the use of German warships! ”

Hu Zhen stood up and took two steps. Said:

"The English people are not at ease with us! One is afraid that we really can't repay the loan, and the other is that they want to control us. Third, I am afraid that if we become stronger, it will be detrimental to their Far Eastern colonies! But we can't expose our financial resources in advance and make the European powers jealous of us! The order of six battleships is really too appalling, and the English are not happy to order the ships of the Germans! We still have to pretend to be grandchildren for a while, so let's change the four 3,200-kiloton cruisers and the four 4,500-ton cruisers to six 3,200-kiloton cruisers, six 4,500-ton cruisers, and twelve 600-ton fast destroyers! Who told us that this 1.3 million square kilometers of land is made up of tens of thousands of islands, how can we do it without enough ships to guard the gate? ”

"Yes, I'll deal with it right away!"

"Wait! You also have to arrange to talk to the English, order 12 fast destroyers, six of which will come back in parts, assemble them in Pontianak, and then produce 12 in Pontianak, the price is not a problem if the price is 10 percent, 20 percent, or even 30 percent higher, in addition, we have to order shipbuilding equipment, starting with the early civilian ships and the construction of small warships of several hundred tons, we must train our shipbuilders well, quickly master the technical ability to build warships, and in the future we will build cruisers and battleships ourselves. ”

Hu Zhen has a lot of information about the design of this kind of modern ship in the nuclear submarine, but now the poor ones are the workers, technicians, and engineers who have mastered shipbuilding technology.

"Yes, sir, the last time you arranged for me to go to the Mawei Shipbuilding Bureau in Fujian and the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai to recruit shipbuilders, now it has been settled, and now there are more than 400 workers willing to come to us, but we have also found that more than 300 skilled workers have gone to Japan and are helping the Japanese people to build ships and ships."

In another time and space, people know that the Beiyang Fleet was defeated by the Japanese fleet, and it is said that the Japanese independently absorbed the shipbuilding technology of the European naval powers, but as everyone knows, when the Japanese shipbuilding technology was not up to par, they used the skilled workers of the Huaxia Mawei Shipbuilding Bureau to build warships and bring out a large number of skilled shipbuilders! Our history books rarely even mention this sad point!

"Helping the Japanese people?" Hu Zhen's tone suddenly became sharp, the Wa State in this era has not caused much harm to Great Huaxia, and ordinary people have little vigilance against the Wa State.

"Yes, since the Mawei shipyard was flattened by the French fleet, the Mawei Shipbuilding Bureau has no work to open, these skilled workers and their families have no food and clothing, and the Japanese people came to recruit them, and they passed!"

At this time, the Chinese people did not know much about the harm of the small country of Yuer, and did not know the profound disasters caused by the Japanese state to China in the future, but now the Japanese people are constantly absorbing nutrients from China.

Hu Zhen said categorically: "No, this is absolutely not allowed, you have to arrange immediately, you have to get all the Chinese shipbuilders back from the Wa Kingdom, no matter how much the cost is spent, what means are used, don't leave any Chinese shipbuilders in the Wa State to build warships for the Wa State to fight the Chinese people!" ”

After Fan Qianhai went out according to Hu Zhen's order, Su Wenzhen came in to see Hu Zhen and reported to Hu Zhen:

"Sir, our troops have begun to withdraw from Java and Sumatra, and are in full swing to receive Sulawesi, Maguru Islands, Nusa Tenggara Islands (Little Sunda Islands), West Papua Ilian, Riau Islands, Bangka Belitung and other islands!"

"When will this be done to receive our territory?"

"The territory we received are all islands, according to your instructions, the big islands and middle islands are stationed to establish a defense system, and the small islands are regularly inspected, some islands have never been visited by humans, this workload is very huge, at least it will take about a month!"

"Tens of thousands of islands, our naval ships are driven by civilian sailors, I don't think it will be able to be completed in a month, give you two more months to complete this matter!"

"Yes, we promise to complete this within three months. Sir, when will our Navy come back? "Su Wenzhen is very concerned about the issue of the navy, after all, if there is no navy, it will be difficult for the Huaxia Army to hold tens of thousands of islands with just such army soldiers.

"Our naval professionals have already set off for their return, and according to the itinerary, Zheng Dingbang and his team should enter the Indian Ocean with their warship, and it won't be long before they will return to Pontianak! In the future, the navy will do the work of inspecting the islands, and your army can concentrate on training and preparing for the next large-scale war. How many troops have been expanded to the army now? ”

Hearing that Hu Zhen was going to prepare for the next large-scale war, the quiet Su Wenzhen also became excited: "Mr. Report, over the past period of time, our strength has rapidly expanded to more than 130,000 people, in addition to the main force of six detachments and eighteen regiments, there are also twenty-seven independent regiments and thirty-nine newly formed garrisons of independent garrisons. ”

"Twenty-seven independent regiments and thirty-nine garrisons have to guard tens of thousands of islands, which may not be enough! In particular, many local indigenous primitive tribes have no way to control those places without force deterrence. How much do you think our army should be expanded? ”

"Sir, to protect such a large territory, and in the future, we will develop to the Chinese mainland, our army should be expanded to more than 300,000 people, but according to statistics, there are only 7 million Chinese people in Nanyang, and they are scattered all over the country, and those concentrated in the territory under our control are only 4 million now, and if we have 300,000 people in the army alone, this industrialization construction manpower will not be enough! Therefore, I suggest that the army should focus on training officers and skilled veterans, and expand the number to 170,000! ”

"170,000, the navy has at least 100,000 or so, 270,000 troops, and 450,000 young and middle-aged militiamen who work and farm in peacetime and assist the army in wartime, which is enough in three years, but in the future, the establishment of the army must be expanded to more than 600,000, or even more than 1 million people, not only to let the Nanyang Huaxia Guild always base itself in Nanyang, but also to drive out the Tatars and restore China, so that Dahua will become a superpower in the world!"

Hu Zhen always remembered in his heart that his goal was to compete for hegemony in the world and establish a super Huaxia, and there was no problem with the funds in his hands now, but the current Nanyang Huaxia manpower was insufficient, so he had to first determine an army of 270,000 people to lay a foundation for the large-scale expansion of the army in the future.
