"Then the emperor has to tell me what I am doing these things for."

Guangxu pointed to the map and said: "Germany is still worried about getting out of Europe, France is trying its best to deal with Germany, Russia is only staring at the land, and Italy can't even get out of the Mediterranean." The United States has a strong economic power and its eyes are still on the Atlantic in order to gain a corresponding international status, while the naval power of Britain is held back by the Boers in South Africa. At this time, the Pacific Ocean lost everyone's attention, and now is the best time. But two Americans also noticed this phenomenon and launched the coup d'état with their support. What we're going to do is take it before they do, and kill these two more. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in particular, must be killed at all costs, and Alfred Thayer Mahan without Roosevelt is just a tree without roots. All of this has one purpose. ”

"For the country not to be humiliated, for the nation to have a broad living space, for every Chinese to raise their heads and breathe freely." After speaking, Guangxu sat down weakly: "Although I did it intentionally, I couldn't support it alone." Both of you know very well that in the Qing Dynasty, all affairs of the country, big or small, were decided by the Queen Mother, and to put it bluntly, I was just a puppet. Now it is said that the Qing can be aggressive against the Qing Dynasty, and once the Qing Dynasty is defeated by the Qing Dynasty, no one will take the Qing Dynasty seriously. Not to mention overseas Chinese, even Chinese people can only be exploited as slaves. Therefore, I won the new army to build a new army, learn and train, and do my best to fight for the capital. It is said that it is an island country, as long as it can defeat its navy, it can win completely. You will say that the Qing Dynasty still has the Beiyang Naval Division, don't count on it, I will definitely defeat the Beiyang. So I want an extra, unnoticed fleet to deal a fatal blow at a critical moment. ”

"Actually, doing so can also fulfill Mr.'s dream. Truly change the fate of overseas Chinese from practical actions. As the gentleman said, nothing can be done overnight, even if it is only a small part. But we are working hard," Guangxu held down Li Enfu, who was about to jump up: "When you take Honolulu and start building and developing, you can recruit and use a large number of Chinese." Would a person who wholeheartedly campaigned for overseas Chinese still engage in any Chinese exclusion bill? Non-ethnic groups will have different hearts, and only Chinese will sincerely help Chinese. ”

"Once the US conspiracy is thwarted, in order to prevent the US from counterattacking. An island country always has to buy a few warships, well, let's do the math. If you buy a warship, you can't let it float on the sea, so you need to repair the port dock where the warship is berthed, but as far as I know, Honolulu is not capable of docking a large fleet. Warships always have to be repaired and maintained, so dockyards have to be built, and Honolulu doesn't have them now. You can't even buy screws for repaired parts, and you always have to build a small processing plant. High-quality coal is needed to start a warship, so it is necessary to hoard coal. To form combat effectiveness in a year's time, the intensity of training and ammunition consumption will certainly be significant. There can't be a warship without shells, the current shells are difficult to buy, and the island is not easy to store for a long time, so it is necessary to have a set of shells to produce on their own. It costs money to buy Chilean warships, and Chile's warships are already old warships, and the new warships have to be purchased from Britain through Chile, so there is no reason why Chile should not make a profit from them. These are the cost of a surname......"

"Stop, stop." Li Enfu calculated carefully so that Guangxu was frightened: "Don't count the navy's constant consumption on my head, you are also defending Honolulu." ”

Li Enfu, who was still calculating, looked up at Guangxu: "I almost forgot that there is also the salary of the officers and soldiers." Forget it, anyway, the queen has to pay for it, but I'm defending her country. After speaking, he lowered his head and calculated: "There are more people to eat, and there are more places on the island." So I still have to buy food, clothes, and use, and I have to hoard saltpeter......" suddenly thought of something, Li Enfu suddenly stopped and thought about something. What did he think of again? Guangxu was a little scared.

"By the way, we will also build a steel mill, a copper mill and all the necessary supporting facilities." Li Enfu excitedly continued.

"Do you think there are so many deposits on this broken island?" Guangxu said dissatisfied.

Li Enfu raised his head and looked at Guangxu with a smile: "It is very expensive to buy finished steel and copper directly." ”

"How big can an island country be, do you want to put the whole world into that damn broken island?" Guangxu said angrily.

"No matter how small an island is, it can't just have a navy." Li Enfu completely ignored Guangxu's anger: "Army firearms always have to be repaired, and ammunition can still be produced by itself." ”

"No need, how many land forces can an island nation need. I'll give you the army to consume. You can't just think of ways to save some money. "Isn't it too impulsive to choose such a person, Guangxu muttered to himself. Turning his head and whispering to Rong Hong, "You said that I am not considering changing people. This guy completely spends money like a straw paper. ”

In fact, after listening to Li Enfu's calculations for a long time, Rong Hong was also sweating profusely, so he could only answer carefully: "Weichen thinks that these are still necessary." ”

Li Enfu, who was silent in the algorithm, finally stopped: "In this way, 10 million US dollars will be used up within 6 months at the earliest, and no more than 9 months at the latest." After that, no less than $5 million is required. I will ...... every year in the future."

"Nope." Guangxu hurriedly interrupted, and let Li Enfu count it again, Guangxu could only go to sell the country: "There will never be another in the future." Give you 5 million and get out of Lao Tzu immediately. When it's done, I'll give you another five million. And remember to never ask me for money. ”

"No, Your Majesty, this time we have ruined the good things of the Americans, and the United States will definitely find a way to retaliate. Not to mention that the navy is for the offensive. Besides, the port terminal must always be equipped with some batteries to defend, and this cannonball or something must be produced by itself. Machinery, equipment, workers, technicians, etc., all cost money. Li Enfu, who had a serious expression, suddenly smiled: "Besides, I only need 15 million, but it's only half." ”

"You ......" Guangxu raised his head back, and looked at Li Enfu vigilantly: "What do you mean?" ”

"Your Majesty, you have 30 million dollars."

"Don't talk nonsense about what you don't have." Guangxu said with certainty, but he really didn't know the bottom in his heart. This is a top secret, and only three of the entire Qing Dynasty, including Guangxu, know about it. Guangxu believes that the other two must not leak secrets.

"Mining in Asia."

"How do you know it's a secret agreement?" Guangxu is the boss of the eyes. Someone leaked secrets, and there was a faint murderous intent in Guangxu's eyes.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry." Li Enfu saw Guangxu's worries: "I know a lot of US congressmen. ”

Guangxu, who breathed a sigh of relief, scolded in a low voice: "I said that this loan was a secret agreement, but it was still leaked." Damn Yankees. ”

"Your Majesty, such a large loan must go through the Parliament. This is what makes the Qing Dynasty different from the United States. Li Enfu smiled: "It's just that such a huge fleet is often consumed, I don't think Honolulu can afford it." ”

It's been more than half a year since I came to this world, and I make up for all kinds of knowledge every day, but my business ability is still insufficient. With regard to the situation in various countries in the world and the situation at home and abroad, we rely more on the foresight of the experience of later generations, and the speed and degree of response to changes in specific events are still too immature. The most obvious thing is that Guangxu never thought that so many supporting facilities would be needed to form a reading fleet. As far as Li Enfu's algorithm is concerned, half of the secret loan is spent in a year, and when the fleet is transferred to the battlefield in the First Sino-Japanese War, isn't the 30 million yuan not enough?

The United States, which is already full of domestic assets and has seen a decline in its economy, has long been eyeing China in order to open up new markets. However, under the intervention of both Britain and Russia, it failed to achieve success. After learning of the Qing Dynasty's plan for the Grand Cross Railway, efforts were made through various channels. When he learned that the Qing Dynasty intended to hand over the Northeast Railway to the Americans for construction, Tian Bei pursued Guangxu from the capital to Shanghai. The most important reason was that he had a loan of 10 million in his hand at that time. He believed that the Qing Emperor would not be able to refuse such lucrative conditions. When he returned to Beijing to see Guangxu again, he proposed that the United States could provide a low-interest loan of 5 million yuan, and provide technical support and help train railway construction technicians and management personnel in the Qing Dynasty, in exchange for the construction of the Northeast Railway in the Qing Dynasty and related rights and interests. didn't think that Guangxu refused on the spot, and the reason made Tian Bei entangled: No, only 5 million is enough, let's come with 50 million first. And I don't look at the plan that the United States has painstakingly completed. In Chinese parlance: Isn't this a scoundrel? In order to open up the market, after many consultations, it was finally decided that the United States would provide an interest-free loan of 10 million yuan and a low-interest loan of 20 million yuan in exchange for the construction of the Northeast Railway of the Qing Dynasty, and that the Qing State would set up a mineral mining company to develop the mineral deposits in the northeast of the Qing Dynasty together with the American company. Thirty million from the Americans, or cash. This made Tang Shaoyi, who participated in the negotiations at that time, greatly admired.

I knew that I would have bitten 50 million to death at the beginning. More than 5 million have been used for domestic construction, and Li Enfu will need 15 million here. That's less than 10 million. If it doesn't work, I will discuss with Tang Shaoyi after I go back, and find a way to get some more money from Germany. By the way, Britain and France, Italy and Russia have to think of a way.

As for Lee Eun-bok's mention of money. "No, don't think about it anymore. I won't give you another penny. You've got a country, and you're trying to figure out how to earn it yourself. ”

"It's the big broken island, there are no resources, and even the food has to be imported from the outside when there are more people. There's no money left. ”

"I ask you, what is the main source of income for that broken island? Let's figure out how to do that. ”

It's broken islands again, it's really broken islands, why are you bothering so much. After listening to it for a long time, Rong Hong didn't understand these military things, so he could only slander himself.

"White sugar, 30% of the world's white sugar is produced in Honolulu."

"What about the other seventy percent?"

"Cuba has a monopoly of fifty percent." Li Enfu keenly discovered: "The emperor is impossible." Even if we don't sell sugar and raise the international price of sugar, as long as we ship the price down quickly, Cuba will have to take the profits. ”

"My idea is that you will slowly reduce your shipments first, and when the price of sugar is high, you will find a suitable reason to stop selling sugar altogether, and it is better to say that the sugar is all ruined, anyway, it is gone, and all the sugar will be hoarded. At this time, the international price of sugar will definitely rise. If war breaks out in Cuba at this time. The price of sugar must have skyrocketed, and we will secretly ship it again. If it does, it will be a big deal. Guangxu seems to have seen countless gold.

"Good idea, but it can only be used once."

"I'm not going to give you any more money anyway, but I know where the gold is." Guangxu slapped the Yukon River Basin in Alaska: "There are tens of billions of dollars worth of gold buried here, you have to dig it yourself." Of course, if you only pick it up on the river beach, you can make a small fortune. ”

"Does the emperor know why he still borrowed money from the United States?"

Guangxu spread his hands: "No one has time, so it's cheaper for you." However, it should be noted that in this area. It should be safe in two years, and no one will find out. But four years at most, a lot of gold is bound to lead to a new gold rush. We can't keep this secret forever, so how to keep it safe is very important. In fact, it was in 1896 that a large amount of gold was discovered in the Yukon River Basin. As for letting Li Enfu mine first, whether it will attract attention is not within Guangxu's ability, and he can only be reminded.

"Come and kill as many as you want. If there really is so much gold here, then the problem of money will be solved, and I will take the job. ”

It's easy to say how easy it is to kill as many as you want, and you don't take human life seriously. Li Enfu's answer made the corners of Guangxu's eyes twitch, could I have seen it wrong, this guy is not a pacifist.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will take the money and run away? Am I an American now? Li Enfu, who had calmed down, asked a question. Why does the emperor trust him so much, so many funds and such an important overseas layout are handed over to himself who has only met once.

"Because you sacrificed everything you had for the sake of overseas Chinese running around. Why don't I believe a person who cares about the world? More importantly, I believe ......" Guangxu suddenly pressed his index finger on Li Enfu's chest: "In this, there is still a blood flow of Yanhuang. ”

Li Enfu knelt on the ground with a 'poof': "Minister Li Enfu swears to repay Jun's kindness." ”

"Sir, please. Everything is about the country. Please. ”
