Chapter 241: Overseas Chinese

"Brother Jiang, don't raise the bar, the Qinzhou shipyard is the beginning of everything, and the European war is the catalyst of our navy, and the results will be received soon!"

"Qiao Shuai, are you going to set up a shipyard in Qinzhou?" Chen Shaokuan asked in surprise: "Qinzhou's geographical location is a bit remote, and the economy is backward, it is in the middle of the Beibu Gulf, so it is not easy to develop!" ”

"Does Colonel Chen think it's not good there?"

"Of course not, it is China's last pure land, and it is also the only hope for the Chinese Navy!" Chen Shaokuan's eyes flashed with a bright light, "Qiao Shuai, now China is full of the forces of the great powers, especially the Yueben Navy has developed, from the northeast coast to Fujian and Guangdong, they are all under the control of the Yueben, and the central political axe is relatively weak, so it is impossible to stop the infiltration and control of the navy by the Yueben, and other powers will not be willing to see the Chinese Navy become stronger, so only the relatively closed and remote Beibu Gulf is not noticed by the foreign powers, and it is far away from the capital, as long as it can be managed well, There is still hope for the Chinese navy, and not as it is now, all the ships combined are not as good as one of the other ships! ”

In the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the navy ushered in a period of great development, especially after the start of the arms race between the British and German navies, the ships were built bigger and bigger, and the power was getting bigger and bigger, and the Dingyuan ships and Zhenyuan ships in the past were far behind the times, but the times were advancing, while China was regressing, and the main warships of the navy were only two or three thousand tons, which was the size of an inland river fleet.

"Colonel Chen, you can see these are very remarkable, I am ready to send a group of officers to Europe, including the army, including the navy, of course, the most important thing is the navy, this is a high-tech branch of arms, involving all aspects of knowledge, now the navy technology is changing with each passing day, if we don't catch up as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will be far behind the world, I don't know if Colonel Chen is willing to be this team leader!"

Speaking of Sichuan sent to Europe has reached 100,000 laborers, after the 100,000 laborers arrived in Europe, they were sought after by Britain and France, Sichuan workers have high quality and strong learning ability, and Chinese workers work tirelessly, they can easily work for more than ten hours a day, as if they don't know tiredness at all, Britain and France were still very resistant to Chinese workers, worried that they would learn the technology, but soon Britain and France looked forward to Chinese workers being able to learn technology quickly, as long as this can produce more products, It can also free up more middle-aged people to send them to the front line to serve as cannon fodder.

The war in Europe became more and more intense, the east and west fronts on land were frantically consumed, the German submarines at sea posed a mortal threat to Britain, the sea routes became more and more dangerous, Britain was dazzled and overwhelmed by these ghosts on the bottom of the sea, Britain and France were deeply involved in the war, and a strict rationing system for food had begun.

Gradually, Chinese laborers became the favorite objects of Parisian girls, and the Chinese looked dull, but they cared for their families, knew that they loved women, and they did not have to go to the front to die, and more importantly, the Chinese workers had sufficient food supplies, which were personally coordinated by the Sichuan side, and a large number of canned grain was sent from China to distribute to these workers.

The canned food for these workers is very different from the canned food sold to the soldiers of the Allies, which is all made of miscellaneous rags, mixed with a lot of meat from rats, cats and dogs, and it is all carrion, so the meat composition will not exceed 15 percent, but the Americans' things are more excessive, the meat is more minced, and the proportion is about 10%, coupled with the poor cooking skills of the Americans, what they produce is difficult to swallow, and Chinese canned food is still the most popular food.

In addition to meat, China also had canned vegetables, canned fruits, and other varieties, which provided ample energy for the soldiers of the Entente to move towards their deaths.

Of course, the canned food in the hands of the Chinese workers was of the best quality, the best pork and beef, and even yak meat, which had been copied to the price of thirty francs a piece on the black market in Paris, and there were even blondes who exchanged a night for a can, and the Chinese workers toiled and were happy here.

After seeing the high quality of Chinese workers, the Entente began to play other ideas, if China can send a part of the army to participate in the war in Europe, it will be a huge help to the Entente, so Fushan and others frequently put forward this request to Qiao Yu, Qiao Yu of course does not want to let Chinese be cannon fodder, but Qiao Yu also has a bigger plan, China's current army is far behind the world, even if he vigorously promotes the improvement of the quality of officers.

This is not something that one person can reverse at all, so Qiao Yu very much hopes that the Chinese [***] team can go to Europe to see it, and even after some war training, there will definitely be deaths and major sacrifices, but the gains must be huge, and Qiao Yu has been weighing the gains and losses.

Qiao Yu did not refuse the British's proposal, but first sent an officer corps into Europe to inspect the war situation, Chen Shaokuan became the leader of the navy, leading a team of 230 people to Europe, among these people are both officers and warship technicians, among them are the first aircraft carrier designer in China, and the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Navy.

After the Entente increased their support for Qiao Yu, everything became much easier, the Qinzhou shipyard had begun to break ground, and Qiao Cheng, who was in the United States, also set off to return to China, bringing back a total of 30 million US dollars in cash, as well as countless equipment, and all the machines of a medium-sized shipyard.

In addition, many overseas Chinese also returned to China with Qiao Cheng, and in addition to hundreds of highly educated students, there is also a heavyweight, that is, Huang Sande, this old man also returned to China with Qiao Cheng, Huang Sande is a North American Hongmen bigwig, who once heavily funded Sun Yat-sen.

However, Sun Cannon only regarded Hongmen as a money bag to raise military salaries, and after the establishment of the Republic of China, the Hongmen Zhigong Court wanted to establish a political party, but was categorically rejected by Sun Wen, so Huang Sande and others saw through Sun Wen's face, and after the Second Revolution, Sun Wen actually hoped to get funding from overseas Chinese, but it is a pity that Hongmen has been heartbroken and has not paid attention to Sun Wen at all.

This time Huang Sande was able to come to Sichuan from the United States, thanks to Luo Ying, Luo Ying's father and Huang Sande Situ Meitang created the foundation of Hongmen together, but Luo Ying's grandfather had already died in battle, and together with his two sons, he also shed the last drop of blood for Hongmen, and the Luo family was left with a descendant of the youngest son Luo Ying.

Huang Sande regarded him as his own son, after Luo Ying arrived in the United States, he told everything he had seen and heard in Sichuan, and strongly admired Qiao Yu in the conversation, and Huang Sande was moved by Luo Ying to visit Qiao Yu in Sichuan.

Qiao Cheng and his entourage first arrived in Shanghai, and then hired shipbuilding technicians, as well as machines directly to Qinzhou, he personally led more than 200 North American Chinese straight to Sichuan, on the way they heard the news that Sichuan defeated Yue Ben in Wuhan, Qiao Cheng, as Qiao Yu's brother, knew that his younger brother could defeat Yue himself, the joy in his heart was naturally indescribable, and even more excited were Huang Sande and Luo Ying.

The Chinese in North America have left their homeland and suffered a lot of discrimination, their greatest pursuit is to be able to see the strength of the motherland, only with a strong motherland, the waist of the Chinese can be straight, for this reason they did not hesitate to donate their coffins and send their children out, but it is a pity that they entrusted the non-people, Sun Wen squandered their money, buried their son, and then kicked these Chinese away.

"Luo Ying, it is really a big hero for Qiao Xunyue to be able to defeat Yueben, but I heard that Sichuan is extremely repulsive to the party forces, and I am afraid that we will not be allowed to establish a political party!" Huang Sande looked at the surging Yangtze River, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, Hongmen is still a party after all, to put it bluntly, it is a ** organization, and it can't be put on the table, which is why Sun Wen is in a hurry to leave Hongmen.

Luo Ying didn't have any worries, "Uncle, I've seen the patrol envoy, he is a very open figure, he has also been abroad for many years, he understands the situation of our Chinese, the party in Sichuan was instigated by the League, infiltrated the army, wanted to seize power, and endangered local peace, this kind of person does not know whether he lives or dies, and naturally he will be hit, our Hongmen is different from them!" ”

After the group entered Sichuan, they were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them, even Qiao Cheng, Luo Ying, Li Zongru and others did not expect that the commercial prosperity of Sichuan had doubled in a few months, and the renovation work of the Three Gorges Waterway had been completed, and ships that could be navigated under 1,000 tons were now in an endless stream of ships on the entire river, transporting a large number of grain and ammunition out of Sichuan and sent to the European battlefield.

The originally wide river surface was crowded at this time, Qiao Cheng and others were blocked for three hours, but the wait did not make these overseas Chinese feel bored, but they were full of interest, they knew very well that the United States was now in such a busy situation, the outbreak of war in Europe was a huge stimulus for industry and commerce all over the world, and all the factories were running at full capacity to obtain greater profits.

The United States has fallen into this madness, although other parts of China seem to have this kind of movement, but it is the spontaneous behavior of some businessmen, the lack of political axe command planning is simply a small fight, only Sichuan makes their eyes shine, once this large-scale industrial construction is completed, it indicates that in more than ten years, at most a few decades, it will become a production base of global attention, and it will also completely change the face of China.

Looking at the busy businessmen and workers, Huang Sande for the first time raised a firm confidence that China will definitely become stronger, and the miserable fate of overseas Chinese will also be rewritten, but I don't know if this tour envoy can really help overseas Chinese, and whether he will take advantage of things like Sun Wen.

"Mr. Huang, although you are abroad, but your pure heart remains the same, you are still Chinese sons and daughters, flesh and blood compatriots, I think the third brother will definitely be willing to help everyone!"

During the Chinese New Year, the update remains unchanged, continue to watch two more!

May everyone attract wealth and treasure, and say that they will make money!
