Section 356 Departure
The so-called revolution is nothing but the transfer of power and wealth, and a successful revolution means that power and wealth are transferred from the backward forces to the hands of the advanced forces. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
For example, in the Glorious Revolution in Britain, power was transferred from the old aristocracy to the hands of the new capitalists, and the failed revolution was the transfer of power from one backward force to another, such as the liberation movement in South America, which defeated the Spanish colonizers, and replaced the local big landlords in power, and the country was poor and backward.
The transition of power in China from the bureaucrats and Beiyang warlord class in the past to the hands of the new capitalists is naturally called a revolution, because it is a revolution caused by the parliamentary elections and ends with the re-election of legislators, so it is called a general election revolution.
By the time the election revolution was over, it was already August, Siberian oil had been extracted, the shipyard had built the first batch of oil tankers, and the first batch of oil had been transported to Shandong by water and rail, which severely suppressed the sharp rise in oil prices caused by the reduction of oil production in the United States.
With the production of oil at a high price, the Russians also made a small profit by selling resources, Russia has such a small population in Western Siberia, where before the war was less than 500 million, after many wars, now let alone 5 million, at most 3 million, and most of them are old and weak women and children, young and middle-aged people either died in previous wars, or were forcibly conscripted into the army by the tsar.
The population is small, but the oil field production is still very high, but after half a year of construction, the annual output of crude oil is expected to be 1 million tons, although it is nothing compared to the American oil field, but in Siberia that there is no even a survival base, this is already considerable, with the slow construction, the output will definitely rise.
As a result of the Germans' bombing of the United States, the Americans raised the world's crude oil from $3 a barrel, which was already running at a high price, to $5 a barrel, a barrel is 42 gallons, and 1 ton is equal to 7 barrels, so that a ton of oil is 35 dollars, and just selling oil, Tyumen has an annual income of 35 million dollars.
Among them, the profit is at least 20 million, of which the cost of mining is 10 million, and the tax to the Russians is 5 million.
If the tsar distributed this tax to the people, everyone could get more than 1 dollar, and the money would be able to live a good life in Western Siberia, when the tsar exiled Vladimir to Siberia, giving 7 rubles a month, Vladimir could use this money to eat steak often, and then he could also hire a maid, and 1 dollar was worth 3 rubles before the war, although the common people of Siberia could not hire a maid, eating steak could still be done.
What's more, the Russians get more than $5 million in taxes from the oil fields, the Tsar family also owns 20% of the oil fields, and there are $4 million in dividends every year, which makes 3 million Siberians enough to live with meat to eat and a life of servants, just like the Kuwaitis in later generations.
Unfortunately, this is only a theory, at this time, the tsar and his government, not only will not divide the money, but will also collect taxes from the Siberians, because they must maintain an army of two million, and the tsar did not give up his ambition to maintain Great Russia, not the tsar, to be exact, but the ministers under the tsar, and it was Stolypin who did not give up the ambitions of Great Russia.
"Hey, it's a pity, it's a good day, but you have to fight!"
In August, China had finally calmed down the chaos in the country, workers had re-entered the factories, merchants had opened their doors, students had entered the classrooms, and new elections for members of parliament had begun to be held under the supervision of various forces, but the Russians were about to go to war again.
Yang Chao was somewhat sympathetic to them, although the current tragic situation of the Russians was inseparable from him, if it were not for Yang Chao and Japan to fight a war with Russia, Russia's national strength would not have been able to cope with the two-year war, and if it had not been for the rescue of the tsar to China, the political situation in Russia would not have been calmed down now.
But no one knows that the Russians, who now sympathize with the Tsar, even have to thank Yang Chao.
At least that's the case with the stupid white sweet Russian girl of Archduchess Olga, but she is also very sad to hear that there is another war.
"Sir, I want to go to Siberia."
After Yang Chao stepped down from the presidency, Silly Bai Tian was the happiest, because Yang Chao accompanied her at home every day. At this time, when she heard about the situation in Russia, she couldn't help but be worried, and planned to go home to have a look.
Yang Chao looked at Olijia, who was wearing a cheongsam and wearing phoenix hairpin gold ornaments, and nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll go with you and have a look."
Olga immediately said a blessing: "Thank you, sir." ”
No matter how she looks at these etiquettes, she thinks it's very good, these are all learned from the black cow daughter-in-law, the black cow daughter-in-law used to be a palace maid, and these etiquettes are still very clear.
Olga attaches great importance to etiquette, and she has to learn Chinese etiquette in China, just as her mother was a German nobleman, but she had to learn Russian etiquette in Russia.
Yang Chao is no longer the president, which makes public opinion a little silent, they didn't expect Yang Chao to really hand over power honestly, and the previous worries about Yang Chao's restoration, the comments of poisonous vegetables, no matter how you look at it, are like the slander of shameless people, and among the slanderers, there are media people like them, so they collectively lost their voices.
But the atmosphere is very weird, although the collective silence, but everyone is still very concerned about Yang Chao's every move, they feel a kind of unsteadiness at this time, Yang Chao such a powerful person stepped down, replaced by a female president, the sharp change of the regime from strong to weak, so that they are very unaccustomed, and even feel a kind of illusory, they even feel that Yang Chao's shadow hovers over Chinese politics, still affecting and even controlling China's national politics.
When Yang Chao said that he was going abroad, they suddenly felt that China had really changed.
Many people have a faint and inexplicable emotion, saying that the sadness may be too much, but it is not an exaggeration to say regret, yes, Yang Chao has stepped down, but more and more people feel sorry for it, they feel as if they have lost something.
So they came to interview Yang Chao one after another.
"It's not clear how long it will take, but it will take half a year at most, or a few days at least. The daughter-in-law wants to go back to her parents' house to have a look, but the time is not certain. Anyway, in the next session of Xianyun Wild Crane, there is time. ”
Yang Chao said with a smile, there was no domineering in his words, which made the reporters feel a kind of fierce beast with its claws removed, and the loneliness of a general who disarmed and returned to the field.
Of course, this is just their own feelings, they feel so much, they feel so sorry, and they sympathize with Yang Chao.
So some of them asked, "What are your plans for in the future, and will you still get involved in Chinese politics?" ”
Yang Chao said with a smile: "I have never been very interested in politics, but I tried my best to do it because the national fortunes were worried in those years." Now that the country's fortunes are prosperous, it is time to retreat bravely. If there are no accidents, I will not be involved in politics in the future. Do business, have a few sons, and live a long life! ”
Yang Chao said, and the reporters felt a kind of sadness.
"Do you think President Miczing will be able to lead China forward?"
Some reporters asked whether a woman could control China's politics since Mi Qing came to power, and there was endless debate in the media.
Yang Chao said with a smile: "If a country needs someone to lead, it means that the country is very immature, we are a country with thousands of years of mature politics, whether a man is the president, or a woman is the president, the country will move forward." ”
told the reporter about this, because there was still a queue of people who came to see Yang Chao off, including dignitaries from various countries.
The ministers of various countries jointly organized a dinner, Yang Chao's departure made these foreign ministers breathe a sigh of relief, they really welcomed Yang Chao, because Yang Chao did not leave, they always felt that China was very strong, in this period when the influence of the great powers began to decline, they really did not want to see such a strong leader in the East.
Of course, there are also losses, the Germans are very lost, and Yang Chao's departure makes them feel that the possibility of Chinese joining the war has become slim.
The British and French envoys were happy on their faces, and they had a friendly conversation with Yang Chao at the dinner, and in addition to being happy, they even showed great sincerity; the British said that they were willing to negotiate with China on the issue of concessions, and they could not rule out handing over the concessions at various ports, and they could even negotiate with the Chinese Government on the Kowloon New Territories, but Hong Kong Island itself was not among the negotiations.
The British really just want to maintain a foothold in China.
The French are even more fine, they don't care at all about returning the Guangzhou Bay concession to China, anyway, they were only there to prevent other powers from infiltrating their sphere of influence, where their own interests are not great, with the current Chinese posture, I am afraid that no one will come to China to infiltrate, including the French, so it is better to return it to China.
Needless to say, the Germans have nominally returned Qingdao, although Yang Chao promised that after the war, when the Germans have the ability to restore their power in the Far East, they are still willing to let the Germans come to Qingdao, but the Germans themselves know that I am afraid they will not have a chance, and they themselves know that their defeat is only a matter of time.
The U.S. government has no colonies in China, and the concessions are basically public concessions merged with the British, and the British have no objection to it, and they have no opinion on handing it over, and they are just for the sake of interests.
Yang Chao expressed his personal attitude, that is, American capital is welcome to continue to invest in China, and they will be treated the same as other countries, and will not be discriminated against in the past.
There are also Russians, although Yang Chao has stepped down, but they have to rely on China's support, they are still very polite to Yang Chao, very low-key expression of friendship between the two countries, saying that there is no conflict of interest between the two countries, including territorial disputes.
The Russians have completely abandoned their claim to Eastern Siberia. Of course, only in the tsarist government, Vladimir began to deny that they had ever signed a treaty with China, and they did not recognize any treaty ceded from Eastern Siberia to China.
At the same time, the Russians expressed their friendship with Yang Chao, emphasized the marriage between Yang Chao and the Tsar's family, and humbly expressed the Tsar's greetings to Yang Chao and the Archduchess and his wife.
The purpose of their closeness to Yang Chao is not only because Yang Chao is a political figure, even if he leaves office, he will have a great impact on China's political situation, but also because Yang Chao has a strong financial force in his hands, and the Yang Zi bank group has now become the world's third largest financial giant after the Jews in London, England, and the Morgan consortium in the United States.
But Yang Chao still politely refused the loan from the Russians, because the Russians could no longer take out the collateral, and the mineral deposits in Siberia were mortgaged, so what else could be mortgaged?
However, Yang Chao said that he would strongly support Chinese businessmen to open mines in Western Siberia and turn the underground deposits of Siberia into wealth as soon as possible, and the tsarist government would receive considerable tax revenues.
In addition to the great powers of Britain, the United States, Germany, France and Russia, other small countries are not worth mentioning, just exchange ideas at the dinner, but the representatives of Korea, Japan and the Ryukyus countries were honored to be received by Yang Chao in private.
