Chapter 49 The question of whom the order is given

The "Fushimi" followed the escort fleet westward, staring straight ahead in the rocks on the deck. Standing side by side is Miyazaki Monto, who was employed by the Nanjing government. At this time, many Chinese would not have imagined that more than twenty years later, Japan would launch a large-scale war of aggression against China. The Japanese have never thought of it and don't know, but they have been preparing for this fact that it is true.

"What does Miyazaki-kun think of the character of Fang Jianxiong?" Shi Zhong turned his head and asked, Miyazaki shook his head, and straightened his hat that was blown crooked by the wind: "I don't understand, I don't want to evaluate." However, the fact that this person can leap from an unknown person to a powerful faction who can influence the direction of national politics in just a few months must attract enough attention from the empire. I was hired in Nanjing, and from the perspective of the Nanjing government, I looked at this person like a fish in my throat, and I was helpless. ”

"Didn't Fang Jianxiong borrow money for Nanjing? Even a large number of arms and munitions were sold at low prices, how can you say that? Ishinaka showed a subtle smile, and Miyazaki looked a little distressed, took off his hat, scratched his head, and said, "Yes, that's really a problem." ”

"The revolution in China, once left without the help of Japan, will become elusive. It's really worrying! Shi Zhong sighed without distinction, turned his head and continued to stare ahead, the battleship with a red flag flying.

Japan's policy toward China has never changed. Its essence is to plunge China into civil strife, and throughout the history of the Republic of China, as long as it is a warlord who is working against the central government at that time, Japan is very conducive to supporting. With such a simple move, since the fall of Yuan Shikai, China has not been unified in the true sense.

The biggest difference between Fang Jianxiong and other warlords is that he does not have dealings with Japan. Even Japan is excluded. In the battle of Wuhan, the Beiyang Army had Japanese military advisers, and there were also many Japanese people on the Revolutionary Army side to help. Only Fang Jianxiong, a warlord, was purged and sent back by the Japanese after he arrived in Wuhan. At this time, some people in Japan exclaimed that there was not a single person in Fang's army. How can this be, such a warlord. It has nothing to do with Japan.

Wait for the Japanese to react. Fang Jianxiong's strength was already very strong. By the time the Japanese made a move, Fang Jianxiong was already fighting with the United States and Germany. This cruel reality makes Shi Zhong, a relatively sober soldier who understands China, deeply worried. China is too big for Japan. 400 million people is almost astronomical. Such a country, which has almost no shortage of resources other than oil, once developed. Can there still be a way to live in Japan? Once developed, Japan's mainland policy will be an empty word.

Ishinaka once wrote a long report, incorporating the opinions of Kanno and others before. The military department hopes to do everything possible to take some action against this emerging warlord.

However, as far as the Japanese government is concerned, as long as it does not hinder Japan's interests at this stage, there is no reason to interfere in China, and it even has to beware of the British big brother cutting him. On the issue of borrowing money to the provisional government, they were all secretive and followed the method of private foreign bank loans. Of course, the interest is not less, and the return is very high.

The atmosphere in the reception room of the "Hairong" was tense, and Douglas, who also had the status of a senior executive of Citigroup, and Victor, the president of the Yangtze River District of Lihe Foreign Bank, could be said to look at each other more and more unpleasantly. The order of 500,000 rifles, if it was a private occasion for two people, was enough for these two to pull out their guns and kill each other.

After Fang Jianxiong coughed, the two of them immediately sat down and smiled, putting away their fierce eyes.

"Why don't you go to rest? Mr. Fisher, please come along. Fang Jianxiong did not enter the door, but stood at the door and spoke. Frankly, it's rude, but the issue has been ignored. Andreas, the special envoy of the German minister, even stood up very excitedly and said: "General Fang, I hope you can attach importance to the friendship between China and Germany. ”

Fang Jianxiong replied with a smile: "Of course I attach great importance to it, but I don't forget to tell Your Excellency that Mr. Fisher is my personal financial advisor and assistant in European and American financial affairs. ”

Fang Dashuai is really smooth to talk nonsense now, just open his mouth and come, without the slightest stumble. After this explanation, Douglas's eyes immediately lit up. Fisher naturally got up and went out, and followed Fang Dashuai to the deck.

"Fisher, what was Douglas's reaction to that incident?" When there was no one, Fang Jianxiong put away his harmless smile, his face was stern, and he walked slowly forward with his hands behind his back.

Fisher followed closely and said in a low voice: "Boss, it is necessary to remind you that the ** of those bastards in the financial world on Wall Street is endless. If you would like to be pegged to the dollar, I am worried about the future of the country's finances. ”

"Thank you for reminding Fisher, please help me analyze first, if the forces I represent gain state power and adopt a monetary policy on the silver standard, after the currency stabilizes, change to a fiat currency policy. Is there anything worth using in such a process? Fang Jianxiong said strictly, but his expression was extremely indifferent. On the whole, Fang Dashuai is a financial layman, but it does not prevent him from knowing some common sense about currency.

Poor Fisher was frightened by this process, and looked at the boss in front of him blankly, a little indifferent.

"It's a complicated process, and if you can take advantage of it, it can really be of great benefit to you. I beg your pardon for not being able to explain these things to you right now, and I think I need to write a long report to explain it to you. If you have enough time, I would love to give you a comprehensive and detailed explanation. The reason why it is so solemn is because the currency issue of a country is related to the survival of a country. Fisher hesitated, but said something anyway.

All that Fang Dashuai's mind was thinking of the low level of the dollar a hundred years later. It's really enviable!

"So be it, I want to emphasize that any monetary policy must be beneficial to the economic development of the country. As you can see, China is too backward. If I am the leader of a country, the most urgent thing to do is to concentrate my forces and build a complete defense industry system for this country. To achieve this, it takes not only time, but also a lot of investment. It's hard! Fisher, I hope you understand, I hope you can support me. Fang Jianxiong felt that when he thought of these questions, his brain hurt terribly. An agricultural country is still a big country, how to choose the path of development, how to improve the people's livelihood, others do not think about it, Fang Dashuai must think about it.

"With your wisdom, none of these problems will be too difficult to solve. As promised to you, I will do my best. As Fisher spoke, he made a straight gesture and raised his head slightly.

"I will always trust you! By the way, you can sue Mr. Douglas, and I will give the order for half a million rifles to the American side, provided that half of the payment is paid in the form of national debt. You can also sue him that once I gain state power, the issuance of Chinese government bonds in the U.S. market will be operated by the people he represents. Fang Jianxiong's decision was made, and in Fisher's opinion, it was still a little doubtful. Fisher, who was accustomed to saying what he had to say, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Boss, why don't you let the two compete, but directly hand it over to the United States?" ”

Fang Jianxiong smiled and asked rhetorically: "How many land forces does the United States have now?" 500,000 rifles will be delivered within two years, may I ask, after the completion of such an order, what will be done with these production lines? ”

Well, Fisher began to break out in a cold sweat, this boss can no longer be described by the word profiteer.

"As you wish!" Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Fisher perked up. First of all, it is certain that the boss is determined to win the power of this country, and with this premise, and he is a strong enough boss, it is not a problem.

"By the way, remember to remind Mr. Douglas that each rifle is equipped with 200 rounds, and the price of 55 yuan is the highest price I can accept." Fang Jianxiong added again, and the cold sweat on Fisher's head broke out again, and the bullet production line was not spared. Of course, no matter how you look at it, such a large order is still a good thing for Americans.

After sending Fisher away, the sneaky Victor pulled Biel to appear behind Fang Jianxiong, and said with a sincere smile on his face: "Boss, I don't think the Americans can make a rifle with guaranteed quality." ”

Fang Jianxiong turned his head when he heard this, smiled at Victor and said, "Victor, if you want to become a giant in trade with China, you must first be honest. Well, don't talk about the rifle, you've lost it. ”

Yes....... Victor was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Biel. This one stepped forward and smiled: "Boss, I always feel that this is a conspiracy. Half a million rifles such a huge order throws, without getting enough benefits, this strict zhòng does not fit your style. ”

"Victor, don't have that expression." Fang Dashuai ignored his brother's deposit, stepped forward and patted Victor's shoulder and said, "Victor, you have to keep one thing in mind. When doing business in China, you can't be too stubborn. Here I would like to inform you of a serious decision, once I have obtained the power of the country, I will continue to hold high the banner of nationalization of the railways. When the time comes, I'm afraid you won't be able to get enough German money to compete with other countries. Well, you don't have to be frustrated because you're about to get a huge order. ”

"What? Huge order? Victor immediately recovered from his stupor, his eyes full of ocean.

"Victor, don't show it like this, you have to be calm. The boss is about to take power in this country, and under the premise of limited domestic production capacity, large-scale procurement becomes inevitable. According to Bob's judgment, the boss needs at least a hundred infantry divisions, and ....... ”

"Shut up!" The smug Biel was interrupted from speaking, and Fang Dashuai did not have the consciousness of being rude at all, coughed and continued, and made a gesture to ask for a cigarette before posing a gesture of continuing to speak.
