Chapter 158: The Price of Growth

After receiving the invitation of the Chinese Empire, Japan convened the Imperial Council, which presided over the matter of Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi, who is now the president of Japan's Privy Council, equivalent to the chief of the general staff of the Chinese Empire, although there is no chief of general staff in the Chinese Empire.

Yes, because Japan established a modern capitalist system, it was once very complacent, and the Japanese people have begun to slowly spread their contempt for China, especially the samurai and ronin, who really don't know where these people really got their confidence.

There is another aspect that is economically, before Guangxu was in power, the Chinese Empire and Japan were completely in deficit, and almost no industrial products from China were exported to Japan, but many industrial products from Japan were bought in China at that time, so a large amount of silver from China flowed to Japan.

But since Guangxu pro-government, this situation has changed in a short period of time, the speed of change is not at all expected by the Japanese, the cars on the streets of Japan are made in China, the Phoenix car in Shanghai is the favorite of many Japanese, and the Xiali car produced in Tianjin is also liked by the Japanese!

And the Japanese military admires the Mustang four-wheel drive off-road vehicle very much, but it is too expensive, and an ordinary car in Japan has to be exchanged for ten carriages, and it must be customized in advance, otherwise it will not be able to mention the car at all.

The most terrible thing is that now when doing business with the Chinese Empire, it must be settled in Dragon Yuan, and all the goods must be converted into Dragon Yuan, but this exchange rate is controlled in the Central Bank of the Chinese Empire and the various branches of the Chinese Empire, and other countries have no right to speak.

The Chinese Empire is very fair, you can not come, but are your people willing?

Now the circulation of Longyuan has almost exceeded the circulation of the pound sterling, one of the most special is the problem of reserves, Guangxu has long seen through such a point, whether it is the gold standard or the silver standard system will be finished sooner or later, but now people still do not realize this, so Guangxu decided to slowly release the upper limit of the total amount of goods issued.

With the circulation of the Chinese Empire's dragon yuan in the world, a large part of the dragon yuan issued by the Chinese Empire has flowed abroad, among which the oil production area in the Middle East is a very large area, and now every time the Chinese oil tanker goes to sea, a lot of cash will be transported over, which is used to pay for the purchase of oil in the Middle East, and the money will soon be shipped back, because this money is used to buy the Chinese Empire's arms and commodities.

Therefore, the ratio of goods issued by the Chinese Empire did not cause much inflationary impact to the citizens of the Chinese Empire, but there must be a moderate inflation.

The Chinese Empire's practice of distributing currency made Japan lose a lot in the exchange rate market first, and then it was defeated by the merchants of the Chinese Empire in the commodity economy, whether it was in technology, price, or even product quality, the Chinese Empire had already thrown Japan behind I don't know how far.

So now in Japan, there is anger and hatred for the Chinese Empire! Mitsui and Mitsubishi were the leaders of the chaebols of this period, and they controlled many important departments in Japan, and in the face of external competition, Japan seemed to have little chance of winning, but turned its attention back to China.

After the Meiji Restoration, Japan began to implement the privatization of land, and land could be bought and sold, but ordinary people were still very poor and had no consumption power at all, which seriously affected the expansion of Japan's domestic market. The inability to cultivate the domestic market has severely constrained Japan's industrial development.

The already heavy financial burden was even more difficult to get better, but because of the Meiji Restoration Movement and the fact that Japan is a mono-ethnic country, it was difficult to find a breakthrough in the contradictions in Japan, so everyone in Japan, from the top of the government to the common people, turned their attention abroad.

This is Japan's ultra-nationalism and militarism are very marketable, and many students have begun to promote and learn this extreme nationalist spirit, but the Japanese are also very humble when it comes to the influence of traditional culture.

This is due to the popularity of Japanese aristocratic culture among the lower class people, Japan's aristocratic culture is very long-term, as early as more than 1300 years ago, Japan has begun to form a very complete aristocratic system, what tea ceremony, illustrations, karate these things, is that Japanese nobles came up with it.

But later, with the rise of the samurai class, the Japanese aristocracy began to decline, and many nobles fell into the folk, relying on these crafts handed down from their ancestors and began to eat among the people, which made many of the lower class people in Japan often come into contact with these people, so the gentle image of the Japanese was learned from these declining nobles!

But now the image of gentleness can no longer bring them benefits, so the Japanese began to show another hideous side, and the Meiji government began to vigorously promote the policy of foolishness.

The core of this policy is the worship of the emperor, and the vigorous promotion of Shintoism is the worship of the emperor, which fully brainwashes the minds of the people. On the first and fifteenth days of each month, Emperor Meiji would ride a white horse to the palace gate to receive worship from the Japanese people. There will be a photograph of Emperor Meiji in all public places.

This is just the opposite of the Chinese Empire, Guangxu ordered that all public places in the entire Chinese Empire are not allowed to hang Guangxu's pictures, and it is an official document issued in the form of an order, but the administrative map of the Chinese Empire must be hung, and now the administrative territory of the Chinese Empire has been deeply imprinted in the minds of every citizen of the Chinese Empire.

In addition to Ito Hirobumi, there were also Okui Nakashi, Shinto Toinazo, etc., all of whom were meritorious figures of the Meiji Restoration.

Emperor Meiji asked; "Regarding the invitation of the Huaxia Empire, is there a unified opinion in the cabinet, should we participate in this free alliance!"

Hirofumi Ito said; "Your Majesty the Emperor! Now is not the time to fall out with the Huaxia Empire, we are not ready for many things, and if we start a war rashly, our chances of victory are not very great! ”

This is what the Shintodo Inazzo next to it said; "Your Excellency, Prime Minister! If you talk like this, it will be too long for others to be ambitious, and we will not have our own prestige. Since the beginning of the reform in 1869, we have had very deep roots in the Japanese Empire.

In 1873 we had 400,000 men in the new army, and now we have 800,000 regular troops, and with the addition of the reserve and the second reserve, and the soldiers in the military service, we can have 3 million men.

In order to deal with the two warships of Dingyuan and Zhenyuan in China, we specially built three iron-framed dome warships in France, and the number of rapid-fire guns we are equipped with, the quality of personnel, and the number of marines are far above the Chinese Empire. I am completely sure of the victory over the Chinese Empire!

All the ministers present nodded!

This is what Shigenobu Osaka said; "The current Huaxia Empire has also changed a lot from the past, since the little emperor came into power, Huaxia's investment in the navy and army has also been very important, and now they are ordering new warships in Germany and Britain!

And don't wonder why! Now that new technologies are emerging in the Chinese Empire, many new weapons are being produced, and if they are given a little more time, they really won't know what will happen in the future! ”

This is what Japan's Foreign Minister Konoe said at the end of the article; "Ladies and gentlemen! Now that the Chinese Empire has just talked about the Great War, China's economy is almost on the verge of collapse, and the emperor of the Chinese Empire has begun to sell his palace! ”

This is the officials of the entire empire who began to laugh, is this the last property of the emperor of the Chinese Empire himself!

Bought the palace where their emperor is going to live, do they sleep on the street!

I heard that his imperial concubine is still very young!

Hahaha!

In the laughter, only Emperor Meiji and Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi looked solemn, Japan's current industrialization process is also difficult, since Saigo Takamori launched a campaign against the emperor's autocratic rule in Kagoshima Prefecture, those opposition voices have not completely disappeared, but with Japan's "Movement for the Establishment of the Main Diet", through the development of the "Freedom and Civil Rights Movement", began to form a political opposition.

And this is the drawbacks of Japan's incomplete reform are also constantly emerging, the original daimyo have changed their names, and now they have become Chinese, these Chinese rely on their original identity and economic advantages, integrated into the new government departments, and almost control all the local and central government affairs, which is the original untouchables, peasants, and now the actual life of the commoners has not been greatly changed.

The vast number of impoverished Japanese civilians made it impossible for Japan's domestic market to further expand, resulting in the original idea that the government would establish demonstration factories and enterprises, but they did not develop greatly, so the government had to rely more on the Chinese and the nobles.

And the rise of the Chinese Empire is too fast, the emergence of Guangxu has made Japan's plans have to be changed, if it weren't for the close proximity of the Chinese Empire to Japan, and Japan's efforts in the Chinese Empire are deep enough, now Japan in China is really likely to become blind.

Through China's war against Tsarist Russia, Japan saw the bearing of this little emperor of the Chinese Empire. Japan conducted an in-depth study of this war, and finally came to the conclusion that the little emperor of the Chinese Empire was a madman, who used less than one-tenth of the troops of Tsarist Russia to start a war, which was a complete manifestation of madness.

And this little emperor of the Huaxia Empire is still a hypocrite, and he has said it many times, this is the last territorial claim of the Huaxia Empire, we just want to return to our own territory, it is really the last time, but every time it comes to the end, this guy is the first to break what he said.

This not only made Tsarist Russia suffer, but the United States and Britain also hated this little emperor very much, but on the other hand, his subordinates were all modest gentlemen, especially Tang Shaoyi and Li Hongzhang, Japan loved to deal with this old man the most.

But now this old man seems to have changed, in short, Japan has come to the conclusion that Japan in the Chinese Empire will definitely have a war, and looking at the current situation, the longer the time, the more unfavorable it will be for Japan!

In the face of internal and external troubles, the emperor of Japan felt a very headache, this is what he asked; "Did our envoys to Russia and England reply to them?"

At this time, Hirofumi Ito said; "Your Majesty! The envoy to England has not yet replied, but the envoy to Russia has returned, and Russia has agreed to maintain good relations with us, but does not agree with our plan of alliance.

But in order to show the attitude of Tsarist Russia against the great power of China, Tsarist Russia decided to transfer the Kuril Islands to us! ”

As soon as Meiji heard about it; "That's good news! But now can we afford to get it back through these islands? ”

This is what the Minister of the Navy, Ito Masada, said; "Your Majesty the Emperor! These islands are very close to our mainland, and the Chinese Imperial Navy is simply beyond the reach of the whip, so we can completely take these islands back! ”

Meiji said; "Good! As soon as the documents are signed, we will send troops to retake our land! ”

Ito Masada's said; "Hey!"

At this time, Hirofumi Ito said; "Your Majesty the Emperor! The minister thinks that he should inform the Huaxia Empire first and negotiate with them, after all, the territory of the Huaxia Empire is already so big, and they won't mind a few small islands, so we still don't use force with them for the time being! ”

At this time the Secretary of War spoke; "Your Excellency! We can't show weakness to them, although the current Chinese Empire has also carried out the reform of the new army, but they have only just begun, as far as I know, all the new troops they can use now are only more than a million people.

But as you said, their territory is so large that, judging by the recent decrees of their government, their emperor now hardly knows how to govern such a large empire.

Now they are beginning to make Korea independent on its own, helping North Korea to build a new army and navy, which is a manifestation of the incompetence of the little emperor, and we have reliable news that the newly established Silla Province, Champong Province, Western Regions Province, and Mobei Province in China are all about to start making their own efforts, which is a great opportunity for us to divide China!

The War Minister's analysis made all the ministers feel very reasonable, and even the Japanese emperor began to nod his head incessantly!

The Secretary of War is still speaking; "Please pay attention to one point, that is, the railway built by the Chinese Empire!

Zhan Tianyou, the railway minister of the Chinese Empire, was no longer in Jiangnan, and now the construction of the railway from Beijing to Nanjing and Shanghai was very tense, and the little emperor of the Chinese Empire actually transferred their railway minister back to Kanto.

This little emperor has always been very concerned, and the Beijing division went to Beijing, the largest city in the eastern part of the country, that is, the construction of the railway in Fengtian, which was almost all built by the royal family, and if it was at the previous speed, the railway could be repaired in three years.

After the repair, the time from Beijing to Fengtian and from Tianjin to Fengtian will be greatly shortened, from the current three days to half a day!

Ladies and gentlemen, this railway is a nightmare for our great plans!

At this time, the vice-prime minister Shinto Inazo said; "They should fix it quickly! So that we can take the train to attack the capital of the Huaxia Empire, and then their little emperor will be too late to run! ”

Hahaha!

The whole room was filled with laughter again!

Hirobumi Ito is worried!

That's when he said; "Attention, everyone! The purpose of this meeting was to respond to Huaxia's invitation, which was to be held next month at the meeting of the Liberal Alliance, which was an experiment for the Huaxia Empire to test the hostility of the countries around him.

Tsarist Russia has been frightened by China, and we don't know what terrible things are happening on the battlefield front between the Chinese Empire and Tsarist Russia, but now Tsarist Russia has made it clear that they will attend this meeting!

And as a member of the Council, many countries in Europe will also participate, including the United Kingdom and the United States, if we want to have international prestige and reputation, we must participate in this meeting! ”

At this time, many ministers stopped talking, they didn't know what Emperor Meiji meant, so they didn't dare to speak rashly!

At this time, Meiji asked; "Do you think that holding such a meeting is the doctrine of the little emperor, or the doctrine of his gang of government officials!"

At this time, Osaka Shigenobu said: "This form is not unusual, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period of China, there was such a set of bull ears, but now the Chinese Empire is obvious, and the whole world wants to give him face!" ”

At this point, the Foreign Secretary speaks; "I don't think it's better for us to agree to attend this meeting and agree with Huaxia's proposition to paralyze the Huaxia Empire, which is very beneficial to our plan!"

At this time, there was a rare time when the Ministers of the Army and the Navy were in agreement, and many other ministers began to express their opinions.

At this time, Meiji spoke; "As the prime minister said, we are not completely ready for the final battle with the Huaxia Empire, so we must bear with it before this, but please prepare well, because this battle is related to the fortune of the country, so please work hard!

At this time, all the ministers stood up and bowed in the direction of Meiji, and after a long time there was no sound inside, and at this time Ito Hirobumi knew that His Majesty the Emperor had left!

At this time, the ministers stood up one after another and began to leave one after another, Ito Hirobumi held a cabinet meeting after that, this time Ito Hirobumi wanted to come to this meeting in person, to meet his old friend Li Hongzhang!

At this time, Japan was quietly undergoing this change, moving step by step towards the abyss of militarism, and at this time, China seemed to be very unserious compared with Japan.

First of all, in terms of military service, the original plan was that each adult man would stay in the army for two years, but this time was greatly shortened by Guangxu, from the original two years to one year, then half a year, and then simply three months.

After the recruits pass the physical examination, they will soon be sent to various military regions, the time is three months, and they must quickly become familiar with the use of various guns, but now the Chinese Empire can buy guns by itself, so many people simply do not look at the guns issued by the army.

Only when training heavy machine guns and submachine guns, Shura rockets, armored vehicles, etc., these new equipment, these guys will be a little interested, plus now the number of cars on Huaxia Street has exceeded the carriage, although many people have a reputation for driving, but have seen this thing, so they are not unfamiliar at all, when learning to drive, it is still very energetic.

Therefore, the professional arms, such as the ordinary arms of the Navy and the Air Force, are generally only brought in the army for three months.

In fact, there is another reason, that is, the current Chinese Empire is very much in need of labor!

The Chinese Empire opened too many factories in many large cities along the coast and in the interior, and now it is a seller's market, so there is no worry that there is no market at all, but the worry is that it cannot be produced, so too many capitalists have paid a lot of high wages and began to recruit workers.

The car factory in Shanghai is the best-paid factory, and he saw the recruitment advertisement of Guangxu's cigarette chief that said, "After working in my factory for three years, you can have your own house, although you need a loan, but the property right is really your own!"

The slogan of the head of the Shanghai automobile manufacturing department is that if you come here for five years, you can drive a car home, and the price of the car is also very high, so the salary given by the car factory is almost twice that of other factories.

As a result, the wages of workers in the Chinese Empire have risen, and it is very difficult to ask the people to stay in the army for a long time, so many people have begun to evade military service.

On the one hand, the Chinese Empire increased the subsidy treatment during military service, and on the other hand, it also began to shorten the time of military service to cope with this new situation!

There is also military equipment, now the military establishment of the Chinese Empire has begun to be complete, ordinary soldiers have begun to configure submachine guns, the cost of this kind of guns is very high, so it has not been equipped for a while and a half, and what is even more fatal is that the General Staff of the Chinese Empire ordered to first meet the needs of the construction of the new Korean army, as well as the needs of the militia construction of Silla Province.

This made many arsenals in China sell their guns at high prices, and a larger part was bought by the people of the Chinese Empire.

The sales of guns have repeatedly hit new highs, and the exported weapons account for a large part of the financial revenue of the Chinese Imperial Government, so when the Chinese Imperial Army is equipped with weapons, many of the troops cannot be equipped with the latest weapons in time.

This made the army very depressed, and Shang Rongqian looked for Guangxu many times, but Guangxu said; "Don't rush! Just train well! When you ask for a gun, you will naturally grab it! ”

In terms of the staffing of the army, except for the relatively full allocation of the Northwest Army Corps, the military establishment of the Southern Military Region and the Northeast Military Region is not even at all, and many recruits have come for three months and left, making many military camps like big vegetable markets, which are very lively every day, but there are very few veterans left! ”

Zhang Zhidong of Zuo Zongtang of the Southern Military Region and the Northeast Military Region found Guangxu many times, hoping to make the army fully existent, so that the empire could have a strong military guarantee, but Guangxu's answer surprised the old man.

The little emperor put down the pen in his hand and dragged his chin to speak; "Two marshals, I really don't have any money, you go to the Nanjing government to have a look! Can you match the army personnel now! ”

The Nanjing government does not let go at all, and now it has a lot of investment in the navy, and the army can only maintain a minimum existence, so the old man is very depressed!

Zuo Zongtang and Zhang Zhidong came to the military headquarters of the Seventh Army of the Nanjing Guards, the training ground of this army is also head driven, a lot of military equipment, a lot of recruits are training, these people from all walks of life came to the barracks, they are all wearing the same military uniforms, doing the same actions, and working together to complete the same tasks, which enhances the feelings of all levels of society. At the same time, many people have broadened their horizons, and many people here have begun to understand the situation in the world.

What kind of political and economic environment is the current Chinese Empire, what kind of threats will we face in the future, how can we prevent these threats, but the most important thing now is that we must make money and make money!

This speaks for everyone!

Zuo Zongtang was very dissatisfied with the little emperor in his heart, he said, "The king of a country is not good at managing the government well, and he thinks about making money all day long, look at the slogan he let the army shout!"

Zhang Zhidong said; "Our Emperor! I really don't know what I'm thinking! ”

Zuo Zongtang said; "It's weird! Those toasts in the southwest are too weak, and I don't have much to do at all! These guys are starting to surrender!

You say it's annoying! ”

Zhang Zhidong said; "The same is true for bandits and rogues in the Northeast, how can they be defeated so easily!"

At this time, following the two marshals was the commander of the Seventh Army of the Pro-Guard Army, Lieutenant General Lu Yiren. Guangxu has always refused to let the army be full, and it would be good for his army to have a veteran, and this is because his military region is in the important seat of the Nanjing government in the southeast, and there are even fewer active personnel in other armies.

Although there was little wrong with him, Guangxu asked the Army General Staff to promote these active duty personnel to military ranks, and began to posthumously award meritorious services in various battles, and many officers' medals were more than two lines.

If they wore physical medals, they would be covered in golden armor. Especially the two marshals, they can't finish their medals, and all those who stay in the army are the essence!

This is what Lu Yiren said after hearing the answer between the two old commanders; "Two adults! I think this has something to do with His Majesty the Emperor's gun collar! ”

Whether it is the Southern Military Region or the Northeast Military Region, the local people have now begun to equip themselves with guns, which is completely different from the previous kind of helpless people, when their interests are infringed, they will definitely take out the guns in their hands to resist.

Therefore, it will lead to the elimination of bandits in the two places so smoothly, but at the same time, it will also cause certain social hidden dangers, that is, there will be a lot of conflicts!

This depends on the armed police force, which is now building up our local militia and armed police force at a very fast pace, and these units are not established by the localities themselves, and they have played a great role in social stability.

The army is used to defend the homeland and the country, and the armed police are to maintain the basic political order of society, so that we will not have direct contact with the people, and we will have no contradictions, so we can also be loved.

The two marshals nodded!

At this time, Zhang Zhidong said; "Are we going to keep going like this! The current navy is developing too rapidly! A battleship of the Blue Dragon, now I don't know how much money I smashed the emperor! ”

As soon as Zuo Zongtang heard this, he was also very unbalanced!

Lu Yiren could see that the two old men were angry in their hearts!

So there was nothing to say!

。。。。。。

The battleship Qinglong's power equipment has been equipped, and under the protection of the escort fleet led by Li Chengmou, commander of the East China Sea Fleet, it began to go north to Dalian, where to load the main guns, and other accessory equipment.

The current battleship Qinglong is only equipped with 36 subsonic heavy machine guns, which are specially developed for the navy, because if they are used in naval warfare, the bullets are all special explosive warheads, which can explode twice after hitting the target, plus high-speed shooting, if multiple bullets hit the agreed target in a row, it will unintentionally cause a devastating blow to the target.

But in naval warfare, all targets are mobile, so in naval warfare, the back of each artillery gun must be followed by the artillery officer, which is a technical job, and it is very important in the era of no radar.

Regarding the manufacture of radar, Guangxu also wants to build it as soon as possible, but the current manufacturing level of electronic components is almost equal to zero, and the prototype created is almost useless at all, and one of the difficult points is the manufacture of picture tubes, which Japan has monopolized its manufacturing and production for a long time in later generations, but now they themselves do not know what this thing is!

The scientists of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Chinese Imperial Academy of Sciences are speeding up their research, and the current Imperial Academy of Sciences of China does not need Guangxu's financial support at all, they make money by buying patents, of course, what they sell is the right to use patents, and Guangxu's patents in this regard are unintentionally many, but almost all of them are used by himself.

In order to promote the popularization of the current technology of the Chinese Empire, Guangxu has signed seven free promotion of patented technology. These technologies are all technologies to be used in civil industry, involving many fields such as alkali production, chemical industry, and textiles.

The most important thing is that these technical theories can be converted into real money in the Chinese Empire, which makes many scientific and technological workers in the Chinese Empire rich, and those entrepreneurs who benefit more, and then get benefits from the people!

。。。。。。

Liu Buyun with his subordinates, and Li Hongzhang also brought one of his officials to the Summer Palace, since the last naval rectification meeting, it has been a month, Guangxu convened the admiral meeting again, when Guangxu looked at the report sent up, his heart has opened a faint pain.

This kind of speed is absolutely not good, the money is in place, but Liu Buyun's speed of rectification and upgrading of the North Sea Fleet is too slow, and we will definitely suffer at such a speed!

Looking at Liu Buyun's red eyes, Guangxu knew that he must have been working very hard recently, and Li Hongzhang, people said; "It's hard to buy old and thin with money, but Li Hongzhang is obviously too thin! It seems that the construction of the Navy is not a matter of simple opinions! ”

Guangxu quietly listened to the report of Lin Yongsheng, deputy commander of the North Sea Fleet, and when he finished speaking, Guangxu did not speak for a long time, and the marshals and generals present were strangely silent.

Because they all heard it, the current situation is far different from Guangxu's requirements, and the most important thing is that the emperor really doesn't lack funds for the navy, and this time he wants the Imperial Bank to borrow, but the navy still hasn't completed the task, and the admirals present are to blame!

This is the speech of the North Sea Fleet's foreign teacher Shi Langwei; "Your Majesty! This progress is too slow! As far as I know! The battleship Qinglong has already gone north, and the shipyards in Tianjin and Dalian will definitely be even busier at that time, and the time for us to update the equipment of the warships of the North Sea Fleet will be even tighter! ”

Guangxu didn't have much trouble understanding Shi Langwei's English Chinese, so he watched the only general who spoke; "Aiqing, do you have any good ideas?"

Schlongway said; "I've seen it! The generators and welding machines for sale in Dalian and Tianjin, as well as the shipbuilders, are fully suitable for our needs! ”

This is what Li Hongzhang said; "Yes! But then we have to stop a lot of factories, especially the use of power generation, we are now using thermal generators, are the generators configured by each factory itself, these factory owners, you let him stop production, he doesn't fight with you to blame! ”

And the workers too! Many shipyards along the coast are very busy, and the workers are very busy. “

At this time, Sch Longway said; "We can raise the price!!"

At this time, the market economy is determined, Guangxu has always been very supportive of the free economy of the market, and rarely disturbs the operation of the market itself, but now how to solve the current problem!

There aren't enough people!

At this time, Guangxu stood up suddenly, which made Li Hongzhang can only stand up, it turns out that Li Hongzhang has been sitting opposite Guangxu, this is Guangxu's respect for the old ministers, Guangxu rarely makes appointments to meet these ministers.

At this time, Guangxu said; "Sch Langwei listens! I now appoint you as the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Chinese Imperial Navy, the Chief of Staff of the North Sea Fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and the full authority for the upgrading of the North Sea Fleet!

At the same time, you will be promoted to Vice Admiral of the Chinese Empire and given the title of Baron, I hope you will not live up to the real trust! ”

Guangxu's flower shocked all the generals present, and they all looked at this foreign general with envy, quarter, hate, and other complicated eyes!

Because Guangxu got it very quickly just now, it took him a long time to understand what Guangxu had gained!

But he couldn't believe it was just true, and was stunned on the spot!

At this time, Li Hongzhang said; "Lord Shi! If you accept the title of the Chinese Empire, please get down on one knee and accept the title! ”

At this time, Sch Longway said; "I do! Then get down on one knee! ”

At this time, Guangxu took the Longquan sword handed over by Dai Zhixin's hands!

Guangxu walked in front of Shi Langwei, who knelt on one knee!

He pulled out the Longquan sword, put the sword on Shi Langwei's left shoulder, and said, "I! Emperor of the Chinese Empire! Today, I will pardon you, Shi Langwei is the "Baron of Ninghai" of the Chinese Empire! ”。 From now on you will serve the Imperial Navy wholeheartedly, you will! ”

Schlongway said; "The minister is willing!"

At this time, Shi Langwei stood up, and Guangxu talked about the return of the Longquan sword to the sheath, and then said; "This sword has been my stand-in for all the battles I have conquered, and today I am giving you this sword, hoping that you must overcome all difficulties and complete the task assigned to you by the empire!"

Schlongway said; "Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to complete the task you taught me!"

Ok, good, good!

At the same time, Guangxu said; "Inform Tang Shaoyi to complete the negotiations with Britain as soon as possible, so that he can start to think about the Jews in Europe to issue identity cards, and now the Jews in Europe are almost all stateless, as long as these Jews are willing, our Chinese Empire is willing to become his home country.

And the Grand Duchy of Israel also began to grab people in Europe, after joining the Grand Duchy of Israel in the Chinese Empire, they will no longer be rootless weeds, and their interests will be safeguarded by the Chinese Empire, but they will join the Chinese Empire or join the Grand Duchy of Israel, then we will be a family.

Tell Tang Shaoyi that as long as he is a human being, as long as he is willing to come to the Huaxia Empire, when he comes back, he will bring me back as much as he can pack!

As long as you can come, the treatment is easy to talk about, and you can negotiate!

The Chinese Empire has been inclusive of all rivers since then!
