"Your Majesty, stay behind with the capital to report urgently!"

The telegram marked with 100,000 urgent problems fell into Li Weiguo's hand, and when he opened it, he was first taken aback, and then immediately furious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As a result, since yesterday, international public opinion suddenly exposed that Brazil has built the world's largest rubber base and exported the world's lowest price and the best quality rubber raw materials, resulting in unsalable rubber raw materials in Southeast Asia, and the sudden collapse of stocks and hundreds of thousands of national losses.

"Immediately call the heads of the Homeland Security Agency and the China S.H.I.E.L.D. to come and see me!"

Tang Jianzhang didn't know what was going on, he was worried that he would be scolded, so he hurriedly asked the female official who came to deliver the message, and the latter also said that he didn't know, only that His Majesty had just received an urgent telegram from the Department of Staying in the Accompanying Capital.

Stay with the division?

What can they do?

"Thank you for the reminder, please wait a while, and the official will call and ask!"

The female officer was immediately displeased and said, "This is not good, Your Majesty is waiting for a reply?" ”

Tang Jianzhang hurriedly pleaded: "Just one minute!" I'll drive faster in a while, and I'll make it up! Please be accommodating! ”

The female official also knew that Tang Jianzhang was a celebrity in front of His Majesty, and she didn't dare to offend too much, so she said: "Then hurry up, Your Majesty is in a hurry!" ”

Tang Jianzhang thanked the female official and hurriedly dialed the phone number of the Escort Division, only to learn that there was a problem with the rubber in Southeast Asia, which caused the stock market of the Companion Capital to plummet and hundreds of thousands of people went bankrupt.

"Your Majesty is angry, and you may have to take countermeasures, I have to prepare in advance, otherwise Your Majesty will ask for a while, but I won't be able to answer, I'm afraid I will be scolded!"

Tang Jianzhang immediately called the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. and ordered a quick investigation of all the information on the rubber producing areas in Southeast Asia and Brazil, and then sent it to him.

With psychological preparation, Tang Jianzhang drove the female official to see Li Weiguo.

"What does your DHS do?"

Li Bin, director of the Bureau of Homeland Security, came without being ready, one step ahead of Tang Jianzhang, and was scolded by Li Weiguo.

Tang Jianzhang breathed a sigh of relief, it was inevitable to be scolded, but Li Bin took the post first, and when it was his turn, the firepower had already weakened significantly.

"Your Majesty's anger is a dereliction of duty on the part of the minister! The minister has already ordered an urgent investigation into this matter, and news will come back in a moment! Please wait a moment, Your Majesty! ”

Li Weiguo saw that Tang Jianzhang had arranged to investigate the matter, and his anger suddenly disappeared a lot.

Li Bin glanced at Tang Jianzhang, he will grow wise, he will have to learn it in the future, he must prepare in advance, he can't be scolded like this anymore.

"The stock market has plummeted, and the people have suffered heavy losses, which will cause very bad social consequences, and we must find a way to remedy it in time!"

"The degree branch has just calculated, and the loss is as high as 100 million yuan!"

"Brazil is secretly building a large-scale rubber production base, but it is secret. Recently, the Southeast Asian rubber stock market suddenly soared, and then plummeted, there must be a promoter behind the scenes, I am afraid it is premeditated, and it is found that the person who has sold stocks on a large scale during the high price of rubber stocks in the recent period must be the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

Ministers from various ministries have expressed their views on this matter.

The loss of 100 million yuan made Li Weiguo very unhappy, and said to Li Bin and Tang Jianzhang: "There is a homeland security bureau in charge of the investigation in China, and it is handed over to the China S.H.I.E.L.D. abroad, and the mastermind behind it must be found as soon as possible, and I must get back the money lost by the people for them!" ”

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and I believe that the shareholders will be grateful to Dade after hearing it!"

"This stock market crash has affected many people, many people are borrowing money to speculate in stocks, if Your Majesty can help them recover that money, it can save many lives and avoid many families from being torn apart!"

"These shareholders are too careless, the stock market is gambling, nine out of ten gambles are lost, it should be controlled, this time only 100 million yuan was lost, only rubber-related industries were affected, if the next time it spreads more widely, the loss is immeasurable!"

"The people are chasing huge profits, and it is difficult to control them, so the government can only force them to take action!"

All the ministers looked at Li Weiguo, and only when Li Weiguo nodded on this matter could the government introduce coercive measures.

Li Weiguo then said: "First suspend all stock market transactions, especially to prevent foreign businessmen from cashing out and fleeing with funds!" ”

With a holy decree, various departments of the Chinese Empire quickly dispatched to take control of the capital and the capital and other stock market trading centers, and some people who were planning to sell rubber stocks were stopped one after another.

At the same time, the two major intelligence services of the Chinese Empire were quickly dispatched, with the Homeland Security Bureau thoroughly investigating the inside story of domestic stock market transactions and arresting those who speculated on rubber stocks, while the S.H.I.E.L.D. launched investigations in various vassal states in Southeast Asia, as well as Brazil and other countries, to collect information behind the scenes.

Three days later, in the Forbidden City's Qinzheng Palace, Li Weiguo convened the imperial meeting again.

"Your Majesty, the driving force behind the scenes has been found, it is a Brazilian rubber farm, although the farmer is a Brazilian businessman, but the investors behind the scenes are capital giants from Britain, France and the United States. According to insider intelligence, the capital giants of Britain, France and the United States responded to the call of their respective governments to attack the stock market of the Chinese Empire and defraud and plunder the national wealth of the Empire. ”

Sure enough, it was planned by Britain, France and the United States behind the scenes!

Li Weiguo was immediately furious, thinking of the late Qing Dynasty in history, when Britain, France, the United States and other Western powers used this method to plunder the wealth of the Chinese people.

In the three major stock market crashes, the wealthy Chinese people lost their fortunes, and the wealth accumulated by the Westernization Movement was plundered by the Western powers.

However, Chinese shareholders do not have a long memory, and they are cut leeks by foreigners, and they cut stubble after stubble.

Countless shareholders, countless Kong Yiji incarnations, lamenting their misfortune and being angry with them.

"We have investigated, I don't know where to leak the news, Britain, France and the United States and other countries learned that the origin of rubber trees is in Brazil, so they have been planning for many years, not only to break the empire's monopoly on rubber raw materials, but also to break the empire's rubber industry, by the way, and then impact the rubber stock market, fraud and forcibly take away the hard-earned money of the empire's citizens."

"This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise those citizens who have suffered losses will have a difficult life, which will cause a serious burden on society and law and order problems."

"At present, the European and American powers are hyping up public opinion, comparing the people of the empire to pigs with a lot of money, leeks who have been cut one after another!"

"How can this be true? This is a war provocation, and we must resolutely return the color! ”

The ministers talked a lot, and one by one they were filled with righteous indignation, clamoring for war and revenge against European and American countries.

Li Weiguo turned to Wu Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and asked, "What is the current situation in Brazil?" ”

Wu Yong replied: "Half a year ago, the Brazilian Imperial General Fonseca launched a military coup d'état and overthrew Pedro II. ”

Chen Jingnan analyzed: "Brazil is a military power in South America, and its naval strength is also very strong, although it is not close to the Pacific Ocean, but it has entered the Pacific Ocean at the turn of a corner. If Brazil joins the Entente bloc, the Entente fleet can be resupplied in Brazil and directly enter the South Pacific to threaten Australia and other places. ”

Li Weiguo frowned slightly, and then asked, "What about Emperor Pedro II of Brazil?" ”

Wu Yong replied: "It has been abolished at present, but it is still under house arrest!" ”

Li Weiguo thought for a while and said: "Send someone to rescue Pedro II and tell him that we will help him recover, on the condition that the rubber industry in Brazil be handed over to the Chinese Empire to operate!" ”

Wu Yong suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise, this is the best way to solve the situation." At present, the price of rubber in Southeast Asia has been hit by the price of Brazilian rubber, and the stock has plummeted. It is believed that the big businessmen of Britain, France, the United States and other countries have invested all the 100 million yuan stolen from the empire into Brazilian rubber farms, in the hope of getting higher price profits. If the empire succeeds in helping Pedro to restore, the price of Brazilian rubber farms will be controlled by the empire, in that case, the money stolen by Britain, France and the United States, plus their own original money, will all be taken back by the empire! ”

The ministers' eyes suddenly lit up, and they all showed joy.

Li Weiguo said: "Since there are no opinions, then implement it immediately!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Wu Yong immediately received the order, and the military quickly mobilized, and the Ministry of National Defense, the General Staff Headquarters, and the Military Command Department sent orders one after another to all units of the Navy and Army.

At the same time, S.H.I.E.L.D. also began to reconnoiter intelligence in Brazil, and after careful arrangements, finally succeeded in rescuing Pedro II and hiding in the Imperial Chinese Legation in Brazil.

Fonseca was furious when he learned that Pedro II had fled, and soon locked up the Imperial Chinese Legation in Brazil, protesting to the Chinese Empire and demanding that Pedro II be handed over.

Naturally, the Chinese Imperial Minister in Brazil would not admit it and warned Fonseca not to slander, otherwise it would seriously affect Sino-Brazilian relations.

The reason why Fonseca was able to successfully launch a military coup d'état and quickly stabilize the situation in Brazil, with the support of Britain, France and the United States, was also because Pedro II was controlled at the first time during the coup, so that a large number of military and political officials who supported Pedro II did not dare to act rashly.

Now, just over half a year, Fonseca has not completely defeated Pedro II's staunch supporters, and Pedro II must not be allowed to escape.

Since Brazil was previously an imperial system, it is now a republic, which touched the aristocracy of the Brazilian Empire. Especially on the issue of rubber plantations, because Britain, France and the United States found a way to break the rubber monopoly of the Chinese Empire, and wanted to carry out rubber plantations on a large scale in Brazil, which inevitably led to land conflicts with the original plantation aristocracy.

Brazil accounts for three-quarters of the world's coffee cultivation, and many farmers don't want to switch to rubber trees, so they come into conflict with the British, French, and American businessmen behind Fonseca.

During the coup d'état, Fonseca sent troops to forcibly annex the estates of these nobles, and then transferred them to the British, French, and American merchant groups at a low price, which caused considerable dissatisfaction among the original Brazilian Portuguese nobles, who strongly wanted to restore the rule of Pedro II.

Similarly, there were a large number of generals in the Brazilian military who were opposed to the republic and wanted to return to imperial rule.

As news of Pedro II's successful escape spread, the old nobility of Brazil's various parties began to gather in secret, ready to move.

The Brazilian army surrounded the Imperial Chinese Legation in Rio and issued an ultimatum to the Chinese Empire.

Fonseca is not unaware of the strength of the Chinese Empire, but he is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, just like the situation when Li Weiguo led the Li family army to fight with the British and French forces, there is no industrial base, even if it is completely destroyed, it doesn't matter.

This was exactly what the Chinese Empire wanted, because it would have enough excuse to send troops to Brazil and help Pedro II recover.

I don't know who fired the gun first, and afterwards, neither the Chinese Empire nor Brazil admitted that it was they who shot first, but that night, a military conflict broke out between the Chinese and Brazilian armies.

The Brazilian army launched an attack on the legation of the Chinese Empire, and in the legation, there was also a guard company of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army for defense, as well as more than 100 agents from the Chinese S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as military attachés and staff of the legation, all of which totaled more than 500 people, each of whom was issued with weapons, relying on the reinforced concrete building of the legation, and exchanged fierce fire with the Brazilian army.

"You bunch of waste, a slap-sized legation has been attacking for two hours without rushing in!"

Fonseca was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and it was a great shame that thousands of Brazilian troops had not been able to storm the legation until now.

"Your Excellency the President, it's not that we can't do it, it's really that the Chinese Imperial Shence Army is too powerful, their firepower is too fierce, they actually built a machine-gun bunker in the legation, and we can't break through at all!"

"Rubbish! Mobilize artillery for me! ”

"Your Excellency the President, that would cause a lot of deaths, which would be tantamount to declaring war on the Chinese Empire!"

"I can't care so much! Execute the command! ”

Fonseca knew very well that since the Chinese Empire had sent people to rescue Pedro II, it was clear that Che Ma was planning to help Pedro II recover. Once Pedro II was restored, there would inevitably be a purge and Fonseca himself would have to be executed.

It's a death on the left and right, so it's better to fight.

With this in mind, the Brazilian army soon brought in artillery.

Knock knock!

The cannon opened fire, and the shell hit the side wall of the legation and exploded.

The expected hole did not explode, but left a pit with exposed steel bars and a large area of blackened fire around it.

From the very beginning of the construction of the legation building, the Chinese Empire considered the situation once the two countries became evil, so the legation was built into an ordinary building on the surface, but in fact, the interior was indeed in accordance with the military fortress standards, using special cement and special steel for pouring, which can prevent a ten-magnitude earthquake, and it is difficult for ordinary small-caliber artillery to blast through the outer wall, even if it is heavy artillery, it takes one or two hours to blast a gap.

Damn it!

Fonsecaten was so angry that his beard curled!

"Report-report! Hair - discovering - the fleet of the Chinese Empire! ”

"Where?"

"It's already in the Gulf of Rio!"

Fonseca was stunned for a moment, then furious.

"Fart! How is it possible to enter the Gulf of Rio, our Navy is ****? ”

"General, the Navy seems to have mutinied! Not only did they not stop the Chinese Imperial Fleet, but they directly led them safely through the Radium Zone and directly into the bay! ”

"What? These damn brutes! Quisling! ”

Fonseca was so angry that he didn't know what to say, and he felt as if his sky was falling.

"Go immediately to the ministers of Britain, France and the United States and tell them to come to my office!"

At this moment, it seems that Fonseca can only turn to Britain, France and the United States for help, otherwise he may be finished.

It's just that Britain, France, and the United States do not have an army in Brazil, and I am afraid that they will not be able to leave the Chinese Empire's Shence Army.

Just as Fonseca was asking for help from the legations of Britain, France, and the United States, more than 20 warships of the Caribbean Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy were loaded with their main guns on the waters of the Gulf of Rio, and their guns were aimed at the city of Rio.

The city of Rio is a Portuguese building, very old, built during the Portuguese colonial era, and today it is already dilapidated.

Knock knock!

The main guns of the flagship Qiuyue were the first to fire, and the other ships opened fire one after another.

In an instant, countless bright lines of fire were drawn in the night sky, and then they hit the city of Rio, exploding, and clouds of fiery red mushrooms rose into the sky, lighting up half of the night sky.

The Brazilian defenders of Rio de Janeiro City were hastily shelled, and for a time there was great confusion.

At the same time, six Brazilian warships, including two ironclads and two armored cruisers, and two frigates, were also strong supporters of Pedro II, and after receiving orders from Pedro II, they cooperated with the Imperial Chinese Navy to attack the city of Rio.

"Report, the legation is under attack by Fonseca's army!"

"The situation is not good, immediately order the marines to land and go to the reinforcement legation!"

The boat was quickly lowered, and the Chinese Imperial Marines immediately launched a beachfront landing.

The Brazilian defenders on the pier were already frightened, and most of them fled in all directions under artillery fire, and only a few remained at their posts nearby.

The bloody heavy machine guns on the assault boat spewed tongues of fire, and countless bullets strafed, and the remaining Brazilian defenders were quickly shot and routed.

In less than twenty minutes, a battalion of light infantry of the Imperial Chinese Marine Corps successfully landed, and under the leadership of the local S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, they quickly rushed in the direction of the legation.

At the same time, Fonseca urgently negotiated with the British, French, and American ministers, asking the three countries to work together to put pressure on the Chinese Empire to prevent the Chinese Imperial Army from attacking Rio de Janeiro.

However, the ministers of Britain, France and the United States were also taken aback, and they did not expect the Chinese Imperial Army to suddenly attack Rio de Janeiro.

"Whether to betray and interfere, we must ask our own government!"

"Then hurry up! The Chinese Imperial Army has entered the bay! ”

The ministers of the three countries did not dare to make a decision, so they could only immediately send telegrams or telephone calls to their respective governments.

As a result, the telephone did not work, the telegraph did not work, and the telephone line was apparently cut.

"Damn it! This was a premeditated move by the Chinese Empire! ”

Until this moment, the ministers of the three countries thought that the Chinese Empire was planning to help Pedro II recover, and did not think that this was just a matter of the Chinese Empire taking revenge on Britain, France and the United States for shorting the rubber stock market of the Chinese Empire.

At the same time, far away in London's Downing Street Prime Minister's Office.

British Prime Minister William is sitting in the telephone room, talking on the phone with President Grant of the United States and Prime Minister Elf of the French Empire.

Grant: "This time we worked together, not only broke the monopoly of the Chinese Empire on rubber raw materials, but also shorted the Chinese rubber stock market and earned at least 100 million yuan, which is really happy!" ”

El: "The Chinese Empire is shameless, they seized four dreadnought battleships of our French Imperial Navy, and cheated us hundreds of millions of francs!" We are also very happy that the Chinese Empire can lose its monopoly on rubber raw materials this time. ”

William: "Our three countries jointly shorted the rubber stock market of the Chinese Empire and made more than 100 million yuan, which made me find that the people of the Chinese Empire seem to be gambling, like to take advantage of small advantages, and have no brains. We just let the wind go about the Southeast Asian rubber stock market skyrocketing, and as a result, the Chinese rushed to buy rubber stocks, and it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of people will end up bankrupt. This made me think of a possibility, should we continue to short the Chinese stock market and make more RMB! ”

Grant: "I agree! The Chinese people are stupid and have a lot of money, if they don't cheat their money, God will blame us! ”

El: "That's right! The Chinese Empire has cheated us with too much money in the fields of military industry, medicine, telecommunications, automobiles, illegal banknotes, and narcotics, causing us serious economic losses and social turmoil. ”

Grant: "I was also very surprised, I didn't expect to be able to make 100 million yuan by shorting the Chinese stock market. You must know that this is just the rubber stock market, if we take a shot at other industries, I am afraid that the profits will be even more surprising! ”

William: "At present, all the funds we have obtained from the Chinese Empire's rubber stock market have been invested in Brazilian rubber farms, and this money is not used to short the Chinese stock market for the time being, but to expand the scale of rubber production in Brazil, after all, if our automobile industry wants to get rid of the monopoly of the Chinese Empire, it must produce rubber raw materials in large quantities, otherwise the Chinese Empire controls the rubber raw materials, and even if we build a good car, we are also subject to the Chinese Empire." ”

El and Grant agreed, although 100 million yuan is a huge amount, but for the three countries, it is nothing, invest in Brazilian rubber plantations, and get higher profits in the future.

However, just then, the door to the phone room suddenly opened, and Cook rushed in and shouted.

"Oh no, the Chinese Empire suddenly made a move against Brazil, overthrew the Fonseca regime, and supported the restoration of Pedro II!"

"What?"

William was immediately surprised, and immediately thought of something serious.

"Not good! Our rubber plantations in Brazil are in danger! ”

In the other two phone calls, there were also exclamations from El and Grant, who apparently had also learned about the situation in Brazil.

"What can I do? I'm afraid the rubber plantations will fall into the hands of the Chinese Empire!"

"Damn it! We have invested tens of millions of yuan in the rubber plantation, and the more than 100 million yuan we earned some time ago were still in the form of stocks in the Brazilian rubber plantation. ”

"Damn the Chinese Empire! How can they be so shameless! ”

Poof......

Grant and William, who invested the most money, were so angry that old blood spurted out at the same time! (To be continued.) )
