Chapter 300: Balance

In July, it was extremely hot in the north, enough to turn a person into a pug, but everything has changed since Wang Bin got the electric fan out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In a courtyard house in the Beijing Division, Sir Wade from England first unscrewed the gate of the electric fan when he returned to the house.

A top fan on the head, a table fan and a floor fan on both sides, and three electric fans turned up, which immediately made Sir Wade feel a burst of coolness.

After taking a closer look at the trademark on the electric fan, it is the Tenglong brand electric fan, which is completely promoted from an idea of Wang Bin.

Speaking of which, the promotion of this electric fan is still inseparable from the powers, since the last time Wang Bin accepted the mediation of the Sino-Japanese war by the powers, each minister sent an electric fan.

Of course, except for the Russian minister, who was not very needed, the ministers of several other countries expressed a strong interest in the electric fan.

Wouldn't it be very comfortable to be able to provide a cool breeze on a hot summer day, and not only that, but these ministers also thought of installing an electric fan for the prime minister, president, queen or something of their country.

So under the leadership of the upper class, the electric fan became popular in the West, not only can bring cool wind in summer, but also the price is not very expensive, these dignitaries have compared.

Sir Wade, who was just about to go bankrupt, suddenly seized the business opportunity and bought a large number of electric fans from North China and sold them to Europe.

All of a sudden, Europeans were saying that "electric fans are their second life".

"Henry, we still have to increase the number of electric fans, you don't know how hot electric fans are in China now, not only from the military, but also from the nobility, the current inventory is simply not useful."

After blowing the electric fan to drive the heat away, Sir Wade spoke to his partner Henry.

At present, the electric fan has become a kind of luxury in the upper class of European society, although in Europe, a luxury electric fan dedicated to the aristocracy has been sold for ten pounds each, which is equivalent to the price of more than a hundred taels of silver.

However, these aristocrats still competed with each other to see who owned more electric fans, so that Sir Wade's electric fans were not enough to sell at all, and they were basically divided between the nobles, commoners, and the military as soon as they were shipped to Europe.

After listening to Sir Wade's words, Henry also said very approvingly: "Yes, North China has done nothing in terms of patent protection, and we have applied for patent protection in various countries, and we can't get the production license of this electric fan at all." ”

The prevalence of electric fans was something Wang Bin did not expect, but after the popularity became popular, Wang Bin sent someone to register the relevant patents and directly monopolized the production rights of electric fans.

Wang Bin never thought that in this era when there was no air conditioning and no electric fan, he just got the electric fan a few years in advance, and he received such a big response. (In fact, the electric fan was born in 1880, and the plot needs to be too careful)

Wang Bin, who saw the new world, immediately ordered the expansion of the production line of electric fans, and installed the electric fans into the barracks.

In the 1907 split of China, the great powers of the world maintained a wait-and-see attitude, and did not intervene at will, but only expressed their own views.

After all, no one in the West wants to anger Wang Bin, who is now the most powerful military in Asia and has led the way the army fights in the future.

It seems that a newborn China is about to be reborn as an awakened power in the midst of this long-term north-south struggle.

A strong China was more in line with the goals of Russia and Tsarist Russia, but it was not in line with the policy direction of the British and Japanese, so although no country was involved in it on the surface, the British and Japanese secretly aided the Southern Qing Dynasty.

All the great powers believed that Wang Bin must be the final unification of China, after all, the combat capability of the army was placed there, and the only difference was at what cost Wang Bin would unify China.

Whether the elite will be lost or easy, no one can guarantee this, in case something happens at that time!

At the moment it seems to be peaceful, in fact, both sides are making full preparations for the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, when the British and Japanese secretly assisted the Qing court, Tsarist Russia also proposed to provide military and economic assistance to Wang Bin when necessary to help Wang Bin unify China.

But Wang Bin refused, the Russians would never have such good intentions, anyway, they could unify China without the help of external forces.

Even if the Southern Qing Dynasty has the help of external forces, the combat ability of the army is placed here, even if there is the help of external forces to improve the combat effectiveness of the army a little, but after all, it is vulnerable.

And it is impossible for other countries to send their own troops to help the Manchus.

In the Liangjiang Governor's Office in Jiangning, Duan Fang, as the Governor of Liangjiang, was talking to a few foreigners at the moment.

"Duansang, this time we condemn Wang Bin's actions to the empire, in our opinion, there is only one legitimate regime in China, and that is your Qing Dynasty, so this time the Great Japanese Empire will be your supporter."

A Japanese man with a mustache and a flat head sat in the governor's palace and said to the end.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor, our British Empire will also be on the side of the Qing government and condemn Wang Bin's rebellion."

Duan Fang was a little happy about the sudden visit of the British and the Japanese, and the attitude of the Japanese and the British was already very clear, that is, they would support their side to deal with Wang Bin.

After hearing this, Duan Fang immediately said very happily: "The benevolent and righteous actions of the two of you are simply a relief in the snow, but I don't know what help your country can provide us?" ”

After being happy for a while, Duan Fang asked the most critical question, which is useless just to verbally support, and it has to be a little practical.

After Duanfang's words, the Japanese and the British seemed to have discussed it a long time ago, saying that they would provide a series of economic, material, and military assistance to the Qing government.

And will also send the most professional instructors to train the army for the Qing government, Duan Fang was a little happy when he heard the news, the most important thing is that these supports are still free.

Even though they had a pleasant conversation with the Japanese and the British, they did not know that after they reached an agreement, Wang Bin had an extra piece of information about this in his hands.

After reading the information in his hand, Wang Bin didn't say anything, but thought silently in his heart: "Hmph, think that with the help of the Japanese and the British, you can compete with the ruling power?" It's just wishful thinking! (To be continued.) )
