Chapter 120: The Crazy British

Since the Ministry of Internal Affairs was formally established, and before it even had time to announce its establishment to the outside world, this unit in charge of life and death in the country has already begun to operate, and hundreds of staff members have begun to actively participate in the investigation and collection of evidence.

Early the next morning, Hainan Political Axe threw out such a bombshell, announcing the formal establishment of the Hainan Ministry of Internal Affairs, in charge of all Hainan political axe units, including political axes and scientific research units, etc., by the former Minister of Industry Li Ping as the premier of the Ministry of the Interior, responsible for leading the development of the work of the nine provinces.

After the establishment of the Ministry of the Interior was announced by the Hainan political axe, the first premier Li Ping took the stage and delivered a speech on his promise, but he did not even go down to the podium, and he could not even move his footsteps, and announced an even more breathless news.

This is the document of the Ministry of the Interior in 1902 No. 001, which is the first document of the Ministry of the Interior on the people under the rule of the whole country, and it is also the first document on the people under the rule of the whole country since the Wang Lin uprising.

Document 001 clearly states that businessmen from all nine provinces (Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Hunan, Sichuan, and Guizhou) can go to the local political axe department to learn more about the situation, and the individual will pay for the purchase of land, equipment, and workers, and the political axe will provide new technology as a shareholder, and the maximum number of shares shall not exceed 20%. Ten years later, the political axe will be withdrawn, and the entire plant and technology will be owned by investors.

The land belongs to the people, Wang Lin will not cheat in this regard, nor will the people suffer, the equipment is manufactured by Wang Lin's Hualong Group, plus skilled technology and other reasons, Wang Lin is basically sold according to the cost, and even the freight is also responsible for the Hualong Group, as for the technology, it is said that the political axe provides, in fact, the real technology is still taken out from the Hualong Group, but the final income is returned to the political axe.

It's nothing to lose a little bit, anyway, I've worked hard for so many years and earned so much money just for this country. Foreigners can buy their own things Wang Lin can not hesitate, without blushing and without thinking about it, he will blackmail them fiercely, but for his own people, Wang Lin is still reluctant, so he would rather only ensure the cost of machinery and equipment, rather than let the people pay the expensive freight.

However, with the opening of the Ministry of the Interior's No. 001 case, the ensuing problem also appeared, that is, the currency problem, the silver that is now commonly used is not very circulated in Hainan, so Wang Lin planned to open a bank early on, so that the currency under his rule can be unified.

In the past year, Wang Lin has ordered people to start preparing for the establishment of banks and currency issuance, and now it is just taking advantage of the opportunity of this industrial reform to push the bank out, every financial reform is not an easy thing, there may be some bloody smell in it, but at the moment this financial reform must be done.

Within a day after the establishment of the Ministry of the Interior, Premier Li Ping announced two things in a row when he ascended to the highest post in the country except for Wang Lin, the first was the industrial reform mentioned earlier, and the second was the formal establishment of Huaxia Bank, which was headquartered in Hainan and issued 176,370,000 yuan of currency in nine provinces under its rule with 500 tons of gold as a deposit.

Wang Lin didn't know much about the issue of currency, so he only told the people below that it should not be too different from the pound, and as a result, the people below issued Xinhua coins at a price of 10 yuan per ounce. Huaxia Bank launched four units of 12 currencies, namely one cent, two cents, five cents, one cent, two cents, five cents, one cent, two cents, five cents, one yuan, two yuan and five yuan, Huaxia Bank will open business offices in various provinces and cities within half a month, silver and other currencies will stop circulating in nine provinces after three and a half months, all using Xinhua currency as currency. And all political axe agencies and the military will start using Xinhua coins in the near future.

Among them, the back of the Xinhua coin is printed with a picture of farmers ploughing land, and the front side is printed with the head of the Yellow Emperor. (I don't know much about the currency, I didn't understand what was going on after asking for a long time, and there was also a question about the paper, which was specially made, and the secret recipe could not be found, otherwise there would be more counterfeit banknotes, and I hope you don't be surprised by this problem.) )

After the two bombshell news came out of the outside world, the whole world couldn't help but be shocked, and reporters from major newspapers in Guangzhou hurriedly ran to Hainan to interview the newly appointed real power boss Li Ping, but in the end, they couldn't see Li Ping after arriving there.

The British, the princes, nobles, and the king were now having a headache for the defeat on the Boer battlefield, and they really couldn't think of what kind of magic weapons the Boers had gotten to help. How dare you launch such a large-scale campaign against the British? Thus the British Empire lost more than 50,000 good soldiers.

And their tactics, they all know that they have used them many times, but how did they survive on their positions when they went behind enemy lines, surrounded by enemies who were several times their size, and threatened by artillery? This is all the British need to know.

Edward VII pondered for a long time, but in the end he did not know.

"Your Majesty, that monkey in the Far East has begun to issue new currencies again." A royal guard officer held in his hand a message that had just arrived from the Far East.

Edward VII picked up the telegram and looked at it, his pupils suddenly turned a little red, Edward VII was very angry and secretly said in his heart, what does this Wang Lin want to do? Why do you have to oppose the British Empire in everything? Do you really think you can run rampant in the Far East?

"Your Majesty, Wang Lin's issuance of currency this time will definitely have some impact on us, not to mention that the Xinhua currency he issued is equal to five yuan per ounce, which is only a little lower than ours, if we don't take action, our interests in the Far East will completely disappear in the near future." A noble duke sat below, thought for a moment, and then held his beard with one hand.

"Do you know what the Germans are going to do with their crazy fundraising lately?" King Edward VII of England shook his head helplessly, the warship he bought from Wang Lin has not yet arrived, and his own warship is in vain, and he can't beat his fleet at all, not to mention God knows how many battleships of that perverted class he still have?

"I've found out, and I heard that it's related to an arms deal in the Far East." The other duke nodded, somewhat arrogantly stating what he had learned. Of course, it is not an informal meeting place at the moment, but the emperor has summoned some princes and nobles to gather together, and everyone will talk about some things by the way.

"It's the Far East again, it's this Wang Lin again, what does he want to do?" Edward VII was so angry that he couldn't hold on to it, and seemed to have forgotten his identity as king, and was directly furious in front of so many princes and nobles, and after a while, it seemed that Edward VII remembered one more thing, and continued: "Didn't the Germans buy three battleships from Xiangli before? What else do they want to buy now? ”

"I heard that this time it's a new tank." The duke who had just spoken continued.

"What? Chariot? Edward VII had just restrained his helpless anger, and was once again touched by Wang Lin's actions, and continued: "What a madman, a monkey from the Far East who wants to go crazy for money, he will sell the chariot that has just been installed not long ago. ”

These people in the meeting did not expect that Wang Lin would once again take out his own treasure to sell, the previous Chinese ship had just appeared, ruthlessly annihilated his Far East Chinese fleet, ruthlessly played a prestige, by the way, he did not expect that the Germans just went to him and he directly agreed to sell, I heard that there are two ships that should be delivered in a while.

Every time I thought that once the Germans got that kind of battleship, the whole of Europe would suffer a terrible blow, especially Britain, because in the face of that kind of battleship, Britain had no kind of battleship to compete with, and Edward VII had already ordered the shipyards to develop that kind of large-tonnage, large-caliber battleship at all costs.

It's just that in the end, in addition to not being able to complete the task in terms of tonnage, even the technology of the artillery is completely unattainable, because if it is equipped with eight large-caliber guns, the battleship itself will not be able to withstand the recoil at all, and it is very likely that the battleship will be torn in half and sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

It was only at this time that Edward VII felt a little glad of his decision, because he had already asked his son George to go to the Far East to negotiate with the monkey to buy that kind of battleship, and now that the order had been placed, and the first payment had been paid, there was news from the Far East that the keel was being laid, but the exact completion time would have to wait for a long time.

Unexpectedly, when he had just found a clue about the troubles of the navy, the army had problems again, first the situation was reversed in the Boer field, and then it suffered a crushing defeat, and now the news came that the Germans wanted to buy a new type of chariot, the specific power of which Edward VII had not seen, but he knew the combat effectiveness of the Manchu soldiers.

The tanks that were able to rampage among tens of thousands of soldiers and sweep thousands of troops were only damaged after the war, and the reason was that the engine was overheated, and as for the damage to the soldiers, it was even lower. If the Germans had gotten this tank, they would have started a new war on the European continent.

War can happen, but it can't happen on the continent, and now the British [***] team is trapped in the Boer field, and if the Germans really attack after getting that new tank, then the British will definitely lose a lot. No, the British Empire must also buy that kind of tank, at least to compete with the Germans.

"Your Majesty, smoke a cigarette and relax." Seeing that Edward VII was having a headache with the affairs of the army, an earl picked up a new cigarette that would make people relax, and handed it to Edward VII.

Edward VII took the new cigarette and looked at it, he didn't smoke anymore, but now because of the great pressure, he also wanted to light one and try it to see what it was like. The earl took the match out of his body and was about to light the cigarette for King Edward VII, but Edward shook his head and returned the cigarette to the earl.

"Your Majesty, this is the best and most expensive cigarette in the world, it is made in a cigarette factory in Switzerland, and it costs us 10 pounds a box, and there is anything purer than this, which is too expensive, and I am reluctant to buy it, and I want 20 pounds a box." Seeing that Edward VII had no desire to smoke the cigarette, the earl could only boast of its benefits and high price, hoping to persuade the king to smoke one.

The English earl shook his head slightly, quietly walked to the corridor on the side of it, and waved his hand at the other Englishman, indicating that it was unsuccessful.

ps: Because there is something today, it is more at noon, and it is still eight o'clock in the evening.
