As soon as these words came out, the US minister simply stopped talking. The faces of the British minister and the Japanese minister changed a little, especially the Japanese minister Fang Qian's face was red and his neck was thick, and he was angry and wanted to come over and beat the arrogant guy in front of him.
However, looking at the rude Nanhua people, it is estimated that the short Fang Qian will suffer if he moves his hands.
"You, rude!" Fang Qian pointed to Minister Nanhua.
"You're sanctimonious."
"Yaga, your conscience is very bad."
"You little Japan have a bad conscience? Or will there be an earthquake in Tokyo? That's God and Buddha punishing you. â
"Baga, I'm ......" Japanese Minister Fang Qian's eyes widened, staring at the gloating face in front of him, anger almost burned his reason, "Don't think that we don't know about the bad things you Nanhua did in the Indonesian archipelago, one day we will uphold justice!" â
The Japanese were probably angry, and even blamed Nanhua from China at once, and Nanhua spoke to the Javanese about that.
"Oh? Justice? Could it be that the Combined Fleet still wants to go south? Minister Nanhua sneered, not at all frightened by the threat of the Japanese, his eyes flashed with disdain, "What kind of good person is it?" Which country present is innocent? â
The American minister, Shulman, was happy to watch the play on the sidelines, squinting and not speaking, and the cunning Yankees have always been muffled and rich.
The appearance of two yellow faces arguing in the legation seems to be a new thing?
In fact, it's not new, these two guys don't deal with each other, it's not a matter of a day or two, every time they meet, they quarrel, which is spread all over Shanghai's high society.
The British minister, Mark, touched his forehead with a headache. Try to be as gentlemanly as an English gentleman.
It was the Minister of South China who came out to stir up the situation. A guy with the surname Zhang. It is said that a certain employee of the American-Chinese Bank has become a minister of South China, and this change is really child's play, who does not know that China and South China are in the same group.
Well, everyone is a colonizer and the ass is not clean.
As for Minister Nanhua's words, everyone should not have heard.
Americans, damned rebels. Old love and the empire are competing, they are mixed with the Chinese, what a headache!
The British minister thought to himself that he wanted to punch Schulman in the ambiguous face.
Unless it is crazy, Britain will not lightly conflict with the Chinese, British-funded enterprises do not have to invest in China with fewer American enterprises, although unlike some American enterprises and Chinese enterprises have close relations, but HSBC, Jardine Matheson and other heavyweight consortiums have also strengthened cooperation with the United States and China in recent years.
How could they rush up to fight with the other side because of an exercise, and let the interests of British-funded enterprises in China suffer losses?
Although in the textile industry, the British suffered because of the Chinese tariff increase. But in terms of finance, securities, and railways, both Jardine Matheson, HSBC, and London's local banks are closely related to the South China economy.
On the contrary, it is Japanese companies. They have always been ostracized by the Zhi Gong Party, and there is almost no market for Japanese textiles in South China, but they want to open up the market in South China by force.
The Japanese can't be allowed to succeed, and they can't be killed for him.
The British minister Mark calmed down, did the Chinese build a battery soon, it was just a bluff, a weak expression, could it be that they could rush to the sea?
"What about the Germans? They got mixed up with the Chinese? The French minister spoke again, and felt the need to brush up on the zĂ i feeling.
It is no secret that the joint venture factory of the Krupp family and the American Chinese company in Nanhua has long been a secret, this time the large-caliber artillery was produced from Nanhua and secretly shipped to Shanghai, God knows if the Germans wanted to arm the Chinese.
If they could, the French would have been eager to seize every German merchant ship in Shanghai.
The American minister Schulman gave the French a blank look, the most unreliable is the French, we American creditors have not urged you France to repay the debt, you are good, rushed up in a hurry, demolished the Ruhr, and looted another debtor that I had managed to support, and the rest of the mess was not paid by American taxpayers.
It's really unpopular, I guess the British see it this way, and they don't want France to dominate Europe.
If there is any dissatisfaction with the US minister, it is that the South China Exhibition is too fast, and it is a vague threat to the Philippines.
Unfortunately, this is the era of Uncle Andrew's rule, and the big funders of the Republican Party collude with the American-Chinese consortium to allow the Chinese to become stronger day by day.
The American people are happy, they live happily at home, and they don't bother to pay attention to the outside world, and how can the little worry of their own little minister be as important as the hundreds of millions of dollars invested in South China and South China?
Schulman secretly likes to laugh at himself for asking for trouble, he is the ambassador to China, not the governor of the Philippines, what is he doing so far?
In the face of the hype of ministers from various countries, he could not arouse the slightest interest.
"What's wrong with the Chinese? Aren't we also mixed with you French? Minister Zhang was not happy, and gave the French a blank look. Although Nanhua has no status in the legation, since he has come, how can he be disgusted and disgusted like such a bastard?
"But you're the ambassador of South China!" The French minister muttered in French, elegant and less frustrated. The French did not have a navy in the Far East, so what they did depended on Britain and the United States.
"Then I'm also Chinese! Our relatives, our hometown is in China, how is it not Chinese? â
Minister Zhang said confidently, this guy is a little arrogant, and pointed to the American minister and said, "I don't believe you ask Mr. Schulman, isn't their hometown from England?" The last time they fought the Germans, didn't the Americans also stand with their British ancestors? â
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, don't show off your eloquence." Schulman said with some displeasure.
The British minister, Mark Class, felt the same way, and nodded, that guy was always energetic when it came to spoiling the situation.
The French minister shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking. Since even the Canton Bay colony was bought back by China, it is not a big deal for the French to make a little disturbance in China now, and it is still in Europe at all, and the Germans are a big problem.
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound in the sky, like the sound of an airplane.
Bombs fell from planes on the sea. Blow up two target ships that were "internally wounded" by the fortress cannon just now. Black smoke rose from the ship. Gradually sinking into the river.
"Oh! Oh, my God! â
"If the warships of the great powers venture into the Yangtze River, the Chinese will also drop bombs on our heads, right?"
"A plane can blow up a ship, even though it's not a warship!"
"When you run into a real warship, the plane won't work! The decisive battle at sea still depends on battleships! â
Nanhua Minister Zhang listened to the bursts of exclamation in his ears, and was secretly proud in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief. Don't look at his inward-looking attitude just now, in fact, he is quite bottomless in his heart, no matter whether the warships of the great powers sail to Shanghai or New Tangshan. It's all a disaster.
It was too late to say that it was too late, and suddenly a plane flew over in the sky, circled around the Miziqi warship, and flew away.
"Damn, is this a provocation? âŚâŚâ
An angry voice reached Minister Zhang's ears, and he frowned, complaining secretly in his heart that the eventful pilot was too reckless.
The quarrel of the legation Situ Nan they could not hear, and they had no time to pay attention to it. Situ Nan told the military to fly slowly over the target ship with a slow bomber, and the target was an old ship on the sea. The scale of 3ooo tons is not a big ship, and it can be regarded as a reluctant capital, which is much more expensive than another wooden ship that was sunk by shelling just now.
Bombs fell, explosions sounded, and the target ship caught fire.
The appearance of the plane has attracted a new round of attention from the audience.
Why don't you just shell it with energy? Well, when Lao Tzu came, the Yankees used drones to carry out precision strikes.
For people in this era, the scene of the plane bombing just now was indeed a bit shocking, even Xue Yue was no exception.
"I said Tiger Boy, you don't need it, do you? When we fought that war with the Dutch, didn't the planes also make the small navy of the Dutch suffer? It's a lot bigger than it is today, right? â
Situ Nan glanced at Xue Yue, as if to say, "Don't be uncommon and weird." â
"That's right. It's a pity I didn't see it with my own eyes. I always listen to those people in the Air Force, and I have some doubts in my heart. â
Xue Yue smiled and said, "I'm thinking about the important position of airplanes in the war, and I understand why the Air Force should be separated from the 6th Army." This time, his face was much more serious.
Situ Nan just nodded with satisfaction, thought of something, and quietly asked Xue Yue: "If the plane can't blow up that rotten ship, you should let the submarine shoot in the end, right?" â
"Huh? How do you know? Xue Yue looked at Situ Nan in surprise and realized that this was a secret in the army.
"Nonsense, the submarine base is on Chongming Island, and I've been to see it." Situ Nan lowered his voice, "It's not enough to rely on a Wusong fortress alone, the fortifications on Chongming Island must also be stepped up." â
"Hmm!" Xue Yue nodded, and said in his heart: The big boss in front of him, don't look at him as having no official or position, who dares that he doesn't have unimaginable influence in the military and political worlds?
Song M1 did not know if he was affected by the shelling, his face was a little pale, and his spirit was not good.
Even on such a showy occasion today, she is very quiet, staying by Situ Nan's side, she is very virtuous, which is really rare. Situ Nan originally wanted to go to Baoshan to investigate, which was the location of Baosteel in the previous life, but when he saw that Song M1 was uncomfortable, his mind was also light.
"By the way, I have a good use for the land of Baoshan, and you two will cooperate to clean it up." Before leaving, Situ Nan instructed Xue Yue and Wang Yaqiao.
"It's about building ports and industrial zones." Wang Yaqiao is also one of the insiders of Shanghai's construction plan.
Seeing that Xue Yue was a little puzzled, Wang Yaqiao explained, "After all, the old port of Shanghai is a river port, and the throughput is limited. There is no news in the market that Guangzhou Nansha Port has passed through Shanghai Port. â
"Really?" Xue Yue said, with some surprise on his face, "I didn't expect Guangzhou to pass Shanghai?" As he spoke, he looked at Situ Nan expectantly.
"The total amount is not enough, but if the port of Shanghai is always nested in the Huangpu River, not to mention Guangzhou, even Nantong on the north bank of Shanghai may pass through it, which I don't want to see, so it is necessary to start the construction plan of Greater Shanghai."
Situ Nan said lightly, when he mentioned Guangzhou, he was a little proud. It was under their own guidance that when the US-China Consortium and the Zhi Gong Dang government planned the Guangzhou Exhibition, they directly skipped the old city of Guangzhou and set their sights on the Nansha Port at the mouth of the Pearl River to gain more space for the exhibition.
Guangzhou, as the land of Longxing, especially the Nansha Industrial Zone. The industrial scale has passed through Shanghai. Second only to Wuhan, the capital where the Hanyang Iron Works is located.
After the first phase of the project. The cargo throughput of Nansha Port is 3oo tons, although it is not larger than the cargo throughput of Shanghai Port of nearly 10 million tons, but considering that Nansha Port is dominated by bulk goods such as minerals, rubber, steel, machinery, etc., the significance behind it is more important, because the port serves many industrial entities such as Nansha Iron and Steel Plant, Longxue Shipyard, Meihua Cement Factory, Meihua Machinery Company (Nansha).
Coupled with the old port of Guangzhou Huangpu Port, the cargo throughput of Guangzhou Port is not much less than that of Shanghai Port.
Meihua is not like some people, in order to fight, they secretly build factories in mountain nests where birds don't. And let the inhabitants of the coast farm well? As a result, many peasants did not have enough to eat, and they gritted their teeth and risked their lives to swim through Hong Kong, which is opposite Shenzhen.
Situ Nan's mind was cold and some thoughts of his previous life popped up, often thinking about it, but he digressed, he touched his forehead, and secretly warned himself in his heart to be more tolerant of history and try not to make strategic mistakes.
"Unlike Shanghai, there are concessions in Guangzhou, and there are some things that can be hidden, and the official numbers are also selective when they are announced. There are British people in Hong Kong, and they probably know a lot about Nansha. The value of goods imported and exported by the industrial and mining enterprises controlled by the US-China consortium through Guangzhou Port alone has reached 400 million yuan, which is already equivalent to half of that of Shanghai Port. Although Guangzhou Customs is strictly controlled by the Zhi Gong Party government. You can't hide it from the British. â
Situ Nan secretly thought in his heart, Guangzhou is thousands of miles away, and he is in Shanghai at the moment, and he doesn't want to stimulate Wang Yaqiao and Xue Yue, who are important members of Shanghai, so he hides his words in his heart and doesn't say anything, because Shanghai has a better future!
"Shanghai is the most important city in China, but also the most chaotic. I hope that Shanghai will be cleaner before it is completely recovered. In addition to the Yangtze River estuary, the garbage on the market must also be cleaned up to create a good investment environment, otherwise others will think that Shanghai is always the magic capital that prospers on opium and prostitutes! â
Situ Nan instructed Xue Yue and the others to speak solemnly, which made everyone's hearts sink.
Xue Yue nodded and turned his head to Wang Yaqiao. How to clean up a place, Wang Yaqiao, the spy leader, is more experienced than the army.
"Don't look at me, I'm ready to leave such a good opportunity for Liwei to the next office, but it's Head Wang, there are still many people in Shanghai who don't know you?"
Wang Yaqiao turned his face to Wang Geng on the side, he smiled kindly, wore small glasses, and was like a teacher, but the hooligans in Shanghai were afraid of him.
Wang Geng nodded.
Sun Liren quietly looked at Wang Yaqiao on the side, and felt that this Sven dwarf smiled a little fake, and said in his heart: Wang Axe said so, who knows if this ruthless guy will surprise the citizens of Shanghai before leaving office?
When he went back, Situ Nan finally got on the first railway, the Wusong Railway, which was already a few decades ago, and compared with the newly completed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway or other newly built railways, the Wusong Railway seemed simple, thin and backward.
"Like a country woman who is still bound to her feet, she has to dress up well to be worthy of the new Shanghai." Situ Nan made fun of Zhang Jingjiang with this.
Zhang Jingjiang nodded, Wusong Railway will connect the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway and the Shanghai-Han Railway in the future, and will connect with Shanghai Xingang to realize the sea 6 intermodal transport, which is of great significance. â
Situ Nan was a little dissatisfied, so he said: "It's not enough to renovate alone, it's better to add a double-track railway, build it according to heavy rail standards, and transport goods for special purposes." â
"Okay." Zhang Jingjiang readily agreed, and said to Situ Nan with a smile, "However, you can guarantee me in terms of funds." â
"Don't worry! The United States and China have been in contact with international consortiums, and Chinese railway bonds will soon be listed in New York and London. â
Situ Nan said confidently.
His words aroused Zhang Jingjiang's great interest, and when the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway was built, Zhang Jingjiang and others cooperated with the American-Chinese Bank to be listed on the American-Chinese Stock Exchange in Shanghai, which was successful, but it was not yet possible to cooperate with international consortia in New York and London.
"Oh...... Tell me about ......"
ââŚâŚâ
In the carriage not far from Situ Nan's carriage, Sun Liren found Wang Geng: "You can't be sloppy this time!" There may be some people who don't have long eyes and annoy the big boss. Sun Liren nodded his head as he spoke, and nodded in the direction of Situ Nan's carriage.
Wang Geng saw that Sun Liren looked strict, he didn't just go south, and he had to ask Sun Liren, the junior brother, about some things, and asked curiously: "How do you say it?" â
ââŚâŚ Maybe there are not enough people to build the railway, and it is impossible to say if you want to find a batch of free labor, in short, there will be fewer smugglers, smokers, and ruffians and hooligans in Shanghai. Our military is just a hand. â
Sun Liren explained.
"Ah......" Wang Geng opened his mouth, when he went south, he also heard that the governance of the Zhi Gong Party government was becoming more and more strict, and those who dared to commit crimes were dragged to the construction site, so the local prison was empty, saving a lot of prison money.
"Wang Axe is tough on the politics of the Shanghai Gang, although he is a little out of reach of the concession, the Chinese community has been pressed by him to be submissive. However, the big boss is still not satisfied, and this time it is estimated that he will move some big fish. Sun Liren analyzed.
Wang Axe refers to Wang Yaqiao, and the Axe Gang has achieved a successful transformation under his control, establishing several large trading, transportation and engineering companies, and pornography, gambling and drugs are basically not involved, but it has given opportunities to some other gang organizations.
"But this is Shanghai! If it's not the mainland, if it causes a diplomatic conflict, it will be troublesome. Wang Geng looked at Sun Liren's solemn appearance and said with some worry.
"I didn't let you go into the concession to arrest people, but those bastards of the Green Gang are still in our hands when they get out of the concession?" Sun Liren said with a smile.
"Wuhan was very dissatisfied with the smuggling of silver in Shanghai, and even more hated the opium trade in Shanghai. The smuggling route of Route 6 has been cut off by us, and now there is only the sea left. Maybe this is a test for you and the tax police group, otherwise the tax police group can maintain the establishment of the Yangtze River anti-smuggling fleet? â
"Move foreign merchant ships?" Wang Geng's face was stern and asked, but he didn't expect Situ Nan to make him so tricky with an understatement. That's a big deal.
"The great powers are not monolithic. As you can see in today's exercise, the government quickly asked the concession side to strengthen our participation in the management of the concession...... After all, Shanghai is Chinese! I'm willing to fight them again in Wusongkou, if it has to be like this. â
Sun Liren cut the railway.
His self-confidence seemed to infect Wang Geng, Wang Geng didn't expect Sun Liren, a junior brother, to have such courage, and the scene of the Chinese cannon in Wusongkou not long ago immediately appeared in his mind.
