This is the mainland in the hinterland of China, and it is simply incomparable with the colonies in the South Seas, and the hectares of Ivan's land in the South Seas are not comparable to the hundred hectares of land in China!

Moreover, if Xuan Yue Meng is willing to pay 10 million taels, it is enough to offset their investment in Hong Kong over the years, and the government will have money, as for the wealth of those British businessmen confiscated by President Meng, even if the British government accompanies it, it will pay at most one-third to one-quarter, and the government is still willing to do so.

Moreover, such an ending would not allow Britain to invest further in the country, and end a war in the Far East with the attitude of a victor, so that Britain could accept it from top to bottom.

The French took some credit for this mediation, and in return, the British promised to provide them with some assistance in the recovery of the French economy, and a cruel war that lasted more than half a year came to an end in the losses of China and the Qing court!

In short, Hua Yuan, worth 10 million taels of Qing official silver, such a large sum of money, is something that the British government cannot refuse.

Moreover, President Meng's excellent management ability has also been recognized by the British, who believe that this 10 million taels worth of Huayuan will be able to be exchanged for materials from the foreign trade operations in Hong Kong and Guangdong within two years!

In this way of exchange, the British just sell opium, and they can't sell it for ten years, so after the British got the news, their attitude was uplifted and accepted.

This poop is eaten raw by President Moe!

The Qing court was reluctant to eat it raw, because Li Hongzhang's Huai army had already been assembled and was already waiting to transport people from the sea to Fujian!

Why can Hua dominate the land of the Qing State? Isn't this already equivalent to the emergence of ********?

The Qing court protested, seriously protested, and turned to the foreign powers everywhere to make decisions for them!

The Organizational Meeting of the Member States of the Nanyang Compact was officially held in Guangzhou.

President Meng and the British on behalf of the British Commander-in-Chief Lieutenant General Ewan McGregor signed an armistice agreement and diplomatic documents on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Britain, Britain became the fifth country to recognize China after Japan, the United States, France, Germany, on the same day, more than 30 European and American countries conveyed the will of their governments, hoping to establish diplomatic relations with China!

From the founding of Huaguo at the end of 1871, until this day, it was recognized by the international community.

On the same day, the member states of the South Seas Treaty, with the United Kingdom, France, China, the Netherlands, and Spain as member countries, and Italy, Turkey, etc. as observer countries, were established.

Portugal wants to join, and three days after this meeting, China declares war on Portugal and allows Portugal to withdraw from Macao within a time limit!

This is something that countries did not expect, but no one spoke for Portugal, and Portugal's strength was no longer enough to occupy a piece of land in China!

The temper of the cute president, everyone knows that if you can eat British stool, you will never be able to eat Portuguese stool.

Portugal had just received a notice of declaration of war and was about to protest, when the First Field Division of the Chinese Army captured Portugal and confiscated the Portuguese ships, as well as the Portuguese merchants and materials in Macao!

At this point, the Portuguese completely withdrew from the Asian stage, and President Meng's Huaguo became the best touchstone to test the success of the great powers.

This incident also exacerbated the contradictions of the war in Portugal.

The Qing court officially declared war on China, announcing that the armistice agreement signed by President Meng and the Qing court before was invalid!

Li Hongzhang's Huai army divided into two routes, 20,000 all the way, and went to Danzhou, preparing to attack President Meng's starting place. 20,000 all the way, assembled in Fujian, and prepared to contact the green battalions of several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to attack Guangdong.

The Qing court didn't really want to fight, they also knew that with the strength of the Qing State alone, it was already difficult to eat Xuan Yuemeng, this was just a strategic situation, with military suppression, with economic suppression, to comprehensively suppress China, without inland support, Guangdong in the hands of President Meng is of little significance.

Without the huge market of the Qing Kingdom, relying on the small black of the South Seas, coupled with the trade protection of Europe and the United States, President Meng's industrial development was very slow.

President Meng's Guangdong development, still only focus on Hong Kong, President Meng's strategy is very obvious, is a little strategy, in the northeast is Danzhou, in South China, is Hong Kong and Guangzhou, he does not have the ability to do comprehensive construction, in that case, he will never be able to develop, President Meng is to develop these three cities first, first open the military industry and commercial pipelines!

With China's resources, even if Guangdong is the only place, if it can trade with overseas countries in an all-round way, the economic growth rate will be terrible.

President Moe who has returned to the Governor's Mansion in Hong Kong, life has returned to normal order!

His goal at this stage is the steel plant, not only the steelmaking furnace itself, but also a large number of supporting machinery, Hong Kong originally has a steel plant, which is a second-level enterprise, and the second-level enterprise in this era can build railroad tracks, which can almost meet the needs of military production, just a little bit!

Guangdong's industrial zones are stepping up construction, but for the sake of speed, Guangdong's industrial zones are just copying, moving some civilian enterprises and shipyards in Hong Kong to the Guangzhou Industrial Zone first, while the steel mills and military factories remain in Hong Kong for the time being!

Huaguo's Academy of Sciences has found four high-quality iron mines in Guangdong, so that there will be no problems with the supply of raw materials to the Hong Kong and Guangzhou steel plants.

The 100-ton open-hearth steelmaking furnace is already quite awesome in this era, and it is already a steelmaking furnace like a giant.

Huaguo industrialists, it only took two months to do all this!

"President, after adding the process of oxygen blowing, the time has been shortened to one-third of the previous one, the general large-scale steel plant, the steelmaking furnace is almost 24 hours a day, reducing two-thirds of the time, it means that the efficiency has been increased by three times, 150 tons of furnaces, played a 450-ton effect, therefore, the daily production capacity of a blast furnace can reach 10 furnaces, and the limit can even reach 12 furnaces, representing a blast furnace, which can produce thousands of tons of steel a day, 10, is tens of thousands of tons!" British engineer Matthew McFellows enthusiastically introduced to President Meng that this guy is now the deputy chief engineer of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

President Meng nodded fixedly, which was expected by President Meng. "It will never be too late to be happy when Mr. produces shells that can imitate the Mauser 1871 rifle and can produce shells for the German Krupp Mountain Gun and the Shore Artillery."

Matthew McFellows smiled sheepishly, "The materials for the imitation Mauser Model 1871 should be soon, but we still have a long way to go to get the steel that can produce shells." ”

President Meng nodded and said, "Come on!" Hard work will be rewarded, and the Chinese Congress will reward every scientist. (To be continued.) )
