To go to Europe and the United States, he needs someone like Princess Katrina Kafu to help him socialize. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to Wang Zhankui and Princess Katrina Kaf, President Meng only brought Xuan Yuewu, President Meng felt that Xuan Yuewu was not suitable for politics, however, Xuan Yuewu was very interested in industry and technology, and President Meng also focused on letting Xuan Yuewu be in charge of this very important part.

President Meng walked very low-key, did not let people see him off, and did not say goodbye to Zhao Qingluo, not because he was angry with Zhao Qingluo, but because the itinerary was in a hurry.

On this trip to the United States and Europe, President Meng is planning to simply travel around the world and have a real-life understanding of his opponents, and on the eve of a premonition that a big world economic crisis is about to break out, Xuan Yuemeng also thinks that this is an opportunity for himself.

If you can catch it, if you can't catch it, it's a tour!

Making money, finding scientists, and buying equipment are the three preset plans of President Moe.

You can't build a modern country just by building houses!

President Meng now misses the ordinary days in Tianjin, although he is just a little kid, Xuan Zonglu at that time was just a three-grade official who was idle at home, and he did not have a high social status, but he also had no pressure, it was best to make money, if he couldn't earn it, as long as he could keep his capital, the pressure was not as great as it is now.

On this round-the-world voyage, President Meng is under a lot of pressure, if he brings the equivalent of 20 million taels of gold and foreign exchange in China's official bank, and comes back with so much money, or if he loses some, it will really be a big trouble.

You know, he is not a colony supported by the background of the great powers, he will be swallowed up at any time, none of the great powers that can go to Asia to make waves are good at stubble, not to mention, Russia, France, the United States, and Britain are all very interested in the land of North China, and when the rule of Korea is threatened, the Great Qing State will not stand idly by!

The Great Qing Kingdom was in the case that President Meng invited the ministers of Britain, France, the United States and Germany to intervene jointly, and at the same time, he didn't care about a barren wasteland in Liaoning, so he gave the Hawaiian Kingdom a colony, the Qing court was not stupid, of course he knew that the Hawaii Kingdom was just a vassal of the United States, not to mention the strength of the great powers, even the strength of the Ryukyu Kingdom did not have, and with a blockade, his life would not be able to live.

So President Meng is under a lot of pressure now, he goes out this time, if he can't get money, at least he has to get a military production line that is not too outdated and a batch of arms back, no force, just have land, how can it be called a force? If even a small group of bandits is helpless, how can it be called a force?

The battalion in President Meng's hand now, because he was going out of the house, and he took away a company and two companies of infantry, it was very reluctant to maintain law and order in Danzhou, let alone protect Danzhou from being violated by foreign powers!

"Is it to accompany you around the world? What kind of mission is this? You should have asked Qiu Yun to accompany you. Princess Catalina Kaef pouted, her chin was supported with both hands, her legs crossed, and she looked at the endless sea, "It's tiring to sit on such a long boat. ”

President Meng smiled slightly, "Protect the president, this is the highest level of mission, not ordinary agents can receive such a task!" Aren't you honored with this? And, if you really like agent training, I'll let you train enough when you return to Danzhou. ”

Princess Katrina Kafu winked at President Moe, "Really? ”

President Meng smiled: "Of course, this is an easy thing to do, isn't it easy to learn to be an agent?" Why do you like agent training? ”

Princess Katrina Kaaf didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Because it's interesting." ”

President Meng sweated, this is not a funny thing, "This is a very serious matter, very dangerous, and it will kill you at any time!" ”

Princess Katrina Kaaf nodded, "I know, do you think you don't know this?" However, it is precisely because of this that it is more interesting. ”

Meng President Khan, this crazy girl, just loves excitement.

Life at sea was boring, and the fleet arrived in New York after more than two months!

New York and Washington, D.C., are the only destinations for President Moe's trip to the Americas.

New York was originally a Dutch colony with a large concentration of Dutch immigrants, then called New Amsterdam.

The year of the founding of the New Amsterdam City Council, 1653, is generally regarded as the beginning of Wall Street's childhood.

In the 1640s, small plots of land within the colony were separated by basic pointed wooden piles and fences.

Later, in order to effectively control slaves from Africa, Peter Ste Ivsant, a representative of the Dutch West India Company, led a group of immigrants from the Netherlands to build a stronger fence.

In 1653, the fence was strengthened into a 3.65 m (12 ft) high wall of earthen planks.

Since then, the plank walls have been expanded and strengthened to defend against Indian tribes, New England colonists, and the British.

In 1685, surveyors mapped out a path along the original fence that is known today as Wall Street.

In 1699, the British demolished the wall.

This is where the name Wall Street was derived, which has been preserved to this day.

It used to be the location of the big monopolies and financial institutions in the United States, and concentrated the headquarters of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, investment banks, government and municipal securities dealers, trust companies, the Federal Reserve Bank, various public utilities and insurance companies, as well as the general management offices of large companies such as banks, insurance, railways, shipping, mining, and manufacturing opened by large conglomerates such as Rockefeller and Morgan in the United States, and became the center of financial and securities trading in the United States and the world.

From here, monopoly capital dominates the politics and economy of the United States. Wall Street became a symbol of the high concentration of monopoly capital, finance and investment in the United States.

In the northeast corner stands the old Treasury Branch Building (now the Gallery), which was built on the site of the inaugural address in Washington.

Many financial institutions have moved away from Wall Street in the geographic sense of the word and into Midtown Manhattan, where transportation is easily accessible and offers a wide range of views. Wall Street is crowded with old buildings and historical districts, and the roads are unrecognizable like spider webs, which is not very suitable for the needs of financial institutions to expand their business.

There is an office of Klinsmann in the Americas, and the more than 1,000 international students sent by President Meng at the beginning of the year are also in New York.

It was still spring when we set out from Danzhou, and it was already early summer.

"I haven't been to the United States, but I heard that it's very good, and I haven't found anything good, it doesn't seem to be as good as Shanghai." Princess Katrina Kafu was not very curious, she was very tired after more than two months of continuous boat rides, and her interest was obviously not high, "Mr. President, what do you say?" ”

President Meng smiled slightly, of course, he didn't think that New York in the summer of 1872 was anything special, it was only the same size as a Chinese city, and it couldn't even catch up with Beijing.

"It's okay, at least, the shadow of industry has been seen here, and it is still more modern than the Qing Dynasty." President Meng smiled and said to Xuan Yuewu, "You should have more contact with our international students, care more about their lives, and supervise the Klinsmann Foreign Law Office in New York to manage the International Students Association." ”

In order to facilitate the management and help of the international students sent by himself, President Meng made a special international student association, and at the same time, if the more than 30 international students sent by the Great Qing Kingdom have any difficulties, let them also help, although the international students of the Great Qing Kingdom have little to do with President Meng, but President Meng does not mind the development of science and technology in the Great Qing Kingdom, however, he knows that it is very difficult to rely on such a small number of international students, and the science and technology of the Great Qing Kingdom want to rely on the development of international students!

Moreover, the original intention of the Qing court's Westernization faction to send students to study abroad was good, but unfortunately, the Westernization movement of Yixun and Li Hongzhang and others only existed in their minds, and they had not really had contact with foreign countries or lived in foreign countries.

It is a joke to rely on a very small number of international students, and these Westernists who only learn about the West from other people's mouths and newspapers to lead the transformation of the whole country.

If the system is not reformed, it is useless to just learn from the skin, and the progress of science and technology must be promoted by industrial development and war, and if there is no suitable political system, how can industry develop? No matter how many students are sent, they are wronged, and after they come back, they can only work in a few backward enterprises run by the imperial court, and they cannot form an industrial scale.

It's the same as playing football, although my country has only 100 million people, but they all like to play football, although you have a country with a population of 1.5 billion, but only a few million people like to play football, it must be that the level of football in countries with small populations is higher.

Xuan Yuewu nodded and said, "President, I know." ”

President Meng continued: "Not only international students, during this time, I will be busy, you remember the two aspects I told you, one is radio technology, the other is plastic technology, this is still forward-looking technology, did not attract attention, you should pay attention to the search for talents in this area, moreover, the basic industry in the United States is very strong, some of the local famous craftsmen, can also be recruited!" That's much faster than training international students! We can't wait for our own international students to take our industry to a slow start! Learn to rob people, don't care about money, and give them more than three times their income! You have to bother to negotiate more, and the more people you take with you, the better! This is the focus of your visit to the United States. More than half of the money and resources of our Danzhou government are spent in your hands, and your work is very important! ”

"President, understood!" Xuan Yuewu also felt a great responsibility.

Xuan Yuewu's English is only a little scratch of the surface, far from the point of communicating with people, after President Meng let Xuan Yuewu go ashore, as soon as possible to establish the organization of network talents, this matter, in fact, before coming to the United States, President Meng has been asking Timothy Lee to contact the office in the United States.
