Chapter 49: The London Bombings, England

Just as Li Hongzhang and Tang Shaoyi were discussing things, Prince Gong's guards came in a hurry, and shouted when they entered the door, my lord, go and take a look! Walk the water! There was a fire!

Where is the fire, the warehouse! Warehouse!

The prince is fine!

The prince is fine, the prince is directing the fire fighting at the scene!

Tang Shaoyi and Li Hongzhang did not hesitate and hurried to the warehouse!

After arriving at the cargo hold, I saw that the fire was very big, and it was already difficult to save it, but the prince did not give up, and he was still in command, how much could he rescue!

The fire burned all night, and in the early morning of the next day, the entire warehouse was reduced to rubble!

It turns out that Prince Gong has been attending ceremonial diplomatic activities, which is equivalent to a mascot, and he will be used wherever he goes!

Now the goods brought by China have been sold, in order to be able to do better business in the future, there was a celebration ceremony on the wharf warehouse, this trade is very successful, and the top is very profitable, so both sides have invited high-ranking officials to participate, it just so happened that Li Hongzhang and Tang Shaoyi were particularly busy that day, there was no time at all, Prince Gong, who was also very busy, said that the king would go on a trip!

While everyone was celebrating happily, several Japanese people were strapped to explosives and shouted "Long live the Great Emperor of Japan!" "Rushed into the hold and ignited the explosives!

Others who failed to rush into the warehouse and were stopped shouted slogans, then ignited the explosives and died along with the blockers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe scene is quite cruel!

The terrible thing is that these people are also eyeing Li Hongzhang and Tang Shaoyi, because Prince Gong doesn't care about anything, so killing Li Hongzhang and Tang Shaoyi is the most important thing, the assassin that day hesitated, why didn't he look like in the photo! So it's a little slow when it comes out!

His hesitation gave the guards time to reflect, and the two guards hugged the Japanese dead soldier and died with this man.

Prince Gong was in danger, and began to command the fire on the spot, because at that time, except for the British, there were the most Chinese, and Prince Gong, who was very general-like, came to another good story for his legend!

Of course, the saddest thing is the British, because they have already paid the Chinese for these goods, so this time the loss can only be borne by the British!

At that time, the British prime minister was mad and immediately found the Japanese embassy, but he didn't expect the Japanese ambassador to say sorry after the British came, and he committed suicide with a gun in front of everyone!

Now Britain can't stand it even more, what should a country do at this time?

Immediately submitted a note to Japan to give a satisfactory explanation of this matter, and the government of Hirobumi Ito, the Japanese cabinet, immediately gave a restoration, and will immediately send people to Britain for this incident, and will certainly give Britain an explanation!

At the same time, China also retrieved the Japanese minister in China, and also demanded that Japan give an explanation for the attack on Prince Gong, and that Huaxia should give an explanation.

The heart of the Japanese minister in China is about to break, why is it so bad this year! In the past, he bullied China when he was happy, and then bullied China when he was unhappy, but this year is different, he is really a scumbag as a minister!

The military attache of the War Department in China has already returned to China, and the result must have been committed suicide, and he, the minister, may have ended up that day!

Go back and send a message to the country as soon as possible!

Hirobumi Ito, who was in Japan, received the news from China, and his heart was haggard!

He clapped his hands and called the people!

Spread the word to the palace! I want to meet His Majesty the Emperor!

Guangxu sent a message to the British mission, we must learn this lesson, strengthen the protection of our personnel, and ask Tang Shaoyi to discuss the establishment of an insurance company, if this time it is Chinese goods that are burned, I don't know how many Chinese will jump directly into the sea!

Such a tragedy must not happen, and at the same time, at home, Guangxu has also strengthened its vigilance against Japan, and the matter of insurance companies has also been raised, and it is safest to discuss it in the cabinet, and it is safest to hand over this matter to a powerful consortium.

So Guangxu once again summoned Jin merchants, Hui merchants, Zhejiang merchants, Fujian merchants and other large consortia, seeing that they should pay attention to the concept of insurance companies, Guangxu at the meeting detailed list of insurance companies to win the model, listening to these old men stunned!

The insurance company is the "law of large numbers" that many people come to us to buy insurance, of course, they hope that there will be no accidents, and the actual situation is that many things we are worried about will not happen, in a thousand insured policies, even if there is an accident, then the money handed over by others is enough to pay the agreed amount, and the rest is not our profit margin!

And this is a long-term accumulation, some accidents may not happen once in decades, so we can set the premium a little lower, and some things have a lower probability of happening, then we will set the premium higher. Guangxu said a lot, but they still don't seem to understand!

It doesn't matter, you go back and think about it, when my 13th Taibao comes back, I will set up Huaxia Imperial Insurance Company, and when the time comes, I will accept the insurance business from all over the world, and I can make a lot of money when I think about it! Ha ha!

Guangxu sent a letter to the Queen of England and the British government, feeling very sad about such a thing, China is willing to do what it can to help, as long as China can do it, and express condolences to the victims of this time! And firmly believe that the British people will not be frightened by difficulties! Will definitely cheer up soon!

Britain replied to express its gratitude, and said that on the issue of dealing with Japan, Britain will maintain the same position with China in the future, Japan is a terrorist country, and Japan must be made to pay the price for this irresponsible behavior!

Guangxu took the British reply letter and handed it to the cabinet members to look at, and King Qing said very proudly, this Japanese slave country is too arrogant, and it will not work if you don't teach a lesson!

The British Prime Minister and the British Crown Prince came to the dock to see off the delegation, and there were also Chinese ministers and many overseas Chinese, and it was even more strange that there were many Jews, and the delegation recruited a lot of scientists, as well as skilled craftsmen, and there were many Jewish businessmen who were willing to go to China, so there was such a scene. Many Jews also came to send their loved ones!

The members of the delegation returned to Germany, the next stop, and the Chinese merchants and craftsmen recruited in England would follow the warships of the British minister returning to China, so that the two teams would be separated after going to sea.

On the high seas, the Dingyuan ship met the same type and tonnage as him, of course, this warship is German, they have long been waiting for the Chinese delegation on the high seas, the Chinese business group has already arrived in Germany, in Germany has also been warmly welcomed, the trading of goods profit a lot, the arrival of Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang is to implement these results, and at the same time the cooperation in military projects is the focus of the two countries!

At the German wharf, German Prime Minister Bismarck and the Foreign Minister came to greet the arrival of the Chinese mission, as well as the Chinese minister and overseas Chinese, and at the wharf, the Chinese mission was greeted with a 21-gun salute.

Prince Gong first met with the German Emperor, and then began his auspicious road, first to the Chinese gathering place for routine condolences, and then to visit the arsenal and shipyards, in which endless factory, Prince Gong was stunned.

Prince Gong would like to know how to deal with the tungsten ore of more than 20 ships we shipped, China's tungsten ore is now exported to Germany every year, and Britain will have tungsten ore supply in the Americas and Africa, so China is not needed, but Germany has always given China a very low price, but now China has no way to deal with it first, so it can only sell ore!

The Germans are not embarrassed, they understand very well, even if you know, you can't deal with tungsten ore by yourself, because refining tungsten ore requires a very high temperature, about more than 3,000 degrees Celsius, this physical property has a very important role in manufacturing steel working in a high temperature environment, especially in the arms industry, so China must have its own ability to process tungsten ore.

This is also the key content of the negotiations between the two sides this time!

Prince Gong sighed in his heart! When will China have such a factory, the Taibao people know Emperor Guangxu very well, and the monarch is worried about the humiliation of the ministers! All of them are actively moving around and completing their missions!

This time, Cai Shaoji and Liang Ruye followed the same steps in Germany, first found the Jewish cathedral in Germany, settled a few priests, and began to move around, but this time their activities were seen by the German police, their every move was recorded, and finally after layers of reports, the German Prime Minister was reported here.

Although Bismarck did not like Jews, he could not talk about hating Jews, but he knew that the current emperor was no longer the kind Wilhelm I, but the radical Wilhelm II, Germany was unified, and as an emerging power, the young Wilhelm II was very eager to do something.

It is an undeniable fact that the German army has become the most powerful army on the European continent after defeating France in the Franco-Prussian War, but Bismarck knows very well that it is very expensive to maintain such a large army.

This is also the reason why he did not agree to attack Vienna, with the current power of Germany, it is really difficult to afford such a strong army, but the emperor did not agree, and told Bismarck not to worry about military spending!

In fact, Bismarck is not only worried about military spending, but also many problems!

This time the arrival of China, Bismarck sincerely welcomed, it not only brought tungsten ore needed by Germany, but also brought a lot of goods that Germany needed, tea, fine porcelain, these are things that Bismarck likes very much.

What's more important is the purchase of arms! The Krupp family, who have never left the Chinese in the past few days, sent special people to keep an eye on Deng Shichang's side, and now Deng Shichang has signed a number of contracts for the purchase of weapons and ammunition, as well as the Germans who are eyeing Li Hongzhang, are persuading Li Hongzhang to customize warships in Germany!

I heard that Li Hongzhang has sent a letter back to China to ask their emperor!

If you can buy more things here in China, you can really ease the tight situation of military spending!

Bismarck took the report sent by the National Police Agency, and wondered why these Chinese were interested in these Jews!

The same report was sent to the German Emperor, who was also a very young monarch, and his aim was simply to get the Jews to donate money! And Wilhelm II is not to blame, because this is the tradition of various European countries.

Russia, France, Germany, Spain and other European countries all stipulate that Jews do not need to own land, so in order to survive, Jews have to do business, what European countries did not expect is that these guys can make money, and the Jewish ghetto is always the richest ghetto.

What's more, these people are very unsociable, Judaism is not very accepting of other peoples to convert, so it is easy to cause the envy of other peoples when they have money, and in the seven crusades in history, almost every time they set out, the military expenses were scavenged from the Jews.

And over the centuries, a tradition has developed that the first step was to impose heavy taxes on the Jews. If it is still not enough, start the second step and find various reasons to start raiding the house. Generally at this point, it's almost the same, only Hitler did it in the third part, and after killing all of them, he used human oil to make soap, and even the gold tooth was not spared.

Generally speaking, it will not go to the third part, and the Jews have no way, all the Catholic and Christian countries in the whole of Europe have a very tacit understanding in this matter, so it is the same wherever these Jews flee, and now what they can do is to keep a low profile as much as possible, and it would be good if they could leave some principal after this looting storm has passed.

Therefore, in Europe, the Jews were almost raised as fat sheep, and when they caught up with the disaster year, they killed to solve their urgent needs!

Wilhelm II felt that it was time for a crisis now, so now he is in full swing to prepare for the "sheep killing", first of all, we must thoroughly find out the family background of these guys, so planned to kill, can't be killed, in the future, these guys have run away, isn't there no need to kill!

However, the Chinese delegation broke all this, and the Jews, who had been submissive, seemed to see a little hope! Going to China is a great way to go!

Of course, the Chinese Taibao still don't know about these things, and it is impossible for the German emperor to simply let people go, and there will be a lot of troublesome things waiting for them in the future!
