Four-four-seven: The relationship between the United States and roast duck
"The golden furnace does not extinguish the fire for thousands of years, and the silver hook hangs for a long time. 【 I want: super fast update ]"
Erect this couplet on both sides of the gate, the wonderful point of the Quanjude roast duck, constantly taken from the stove one by one jujube red appearance roast duck, exuding a pungent fragrance, attracted countless old diners sought after.
Although the city of Beijing is changing day by day, there are constantly new things appearing, but the old Beijingers still have not forgotten to come to Quanjude to sit when they are free, as the income begins to increase, the business here is not much better than a few years ago.
Outside the door, amid the sound of the guy's hard singing, Sun Jiugong followed the stairs to the reserved private room on the second floor, and pushed open the door to find that Zhang Zuolin had already arrived.
"Haha, Brother Sun, you're going to punish yourself three times."
"Okay, then you have to worry about whether you have enough money, I haven't learned anything else in the northwest in the past two years, but I have practiced the amount of alcohol."
The two laughed happily, and in less than a moment, the guy brought the roast duck, looking at the roast duck with red skin and flesh, and the color was jujube red, Sun Jiugong couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Come, don't talk nonsense, I'll pick up the wind for you first!" Zhang Zuolin smiled, and after pouring a full bottle of wine for Sun Jiugong, the two of them held their wine glasses and threw them up at the same time.
"Come, eat first, and then catch up, otherwise this duck won't taste good if it's cold." Zhang Zuolin smiled, sandwiched a piece of duck for Sun Jiugong, and feasted on it himself.
The crispy skin and flesh were full of the fragrance of fruit trees, delicious and fragrant, fat but not greasy, which aroused Sun Jiugong's slander in the bitter cold land for several years, and after a while, the two of them stuffed a few catties of duck into their belly, and found that the other dishes on the table were not moving, and they couldn't help laughing.
From enlisting in the army together, to going to Honolulu together, to studying in Germany, the two have already formed a friendship behind them, although they later parted ways, but this friendship not only did not fade with time, but became deeper and deeper.
So as soon as he heard that his granddaughter Jb was back in Beijing to report on his work, Zhang Zuolin immediately came to pick up the dust for him.
After wiping the grease off his hands, Sun Jiugong beckoned his men to wait for another one to turn to business and asked, "Yuting, I heard that Ji Weishan went to South America to arrest the president of Ecuador?" ”
The corners of Zuo Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled: "What, you are also interested and want to go back to the Americas?" ”
"Come on, don't chill me, Cuba has had a lot of years." Sun Jiugong rolled his eyes and asked, "I just don't understand, why did the emperor make a big deal about that small place?" What's the lowdown story? ”。
"It's not easy." Zhang Zuolin looked around, leaned closer, bit his ear and said, "Panama Canal!" ”
Sun Jiugong nodded, he was not surprised at all about the Panama Canal, as early as when he was in Cuba, he had received a secret order asking him to investigate the matter of the canal, but at that time, the French and Americans were biting to death, and they had never had a chance to intervene, and at this moment, he finally freed his hand, and it was indeed time to him!
That place is so important!
But Ecuador and Panama are still some way off, so why not just go for Colombia? And last year the United States had already incited the Panamanians and signed a contract with them, acknowledging that the canal would be protected by the United States, is it too late to go?
Zhang Zuolin smiled slightly: "Zanyao, you underestimate the emperor too much, do you think there is only one canal in the emperor's eyes?" ”
Sun Jiugong's appetite was hoisted suddenly, he knew that Zhang Zuolin was now thriving in the General Staff, and hurriedly asked, "What?" Could there be something else going on? ”
Sun Jiugong is no one else, the former and current commander of the Northwest Military Region, the rank of major general can give him access to many confidential documents, not to mention that the truth will be revealed soon, so he will not hide it from him, and said in a low voice: "The canal is wanted, but now we are not ready to fight with the United States, so the emperor is ready to lease the Coron Islands to plant a nail there, and it is disgusting that they are talking." (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)"
"Disgusting......." Sun Jiugong couldn't cry or laugh, this is really the emperor's style, in fact, he had already guessed that Li Mo was going to deal with the people of the United States, otherwise he would not have sent him to Cuba to support Marseille.
"The disgusting United States is because it can't be allowed to continue to bury its head in economic development, otherwise it will be difficult for us to catch up for decades, so we can only let it go into the arms race to consume national strength, and drag it down, once the United States also learns from Europe, then it will not only be a pressure on the Atlantic, but also will have a serious impact on its own economy."
"What's more, as long as the canal is not open for a day, then no matter how many warships are built on the east coast, they must also detour through Chile, not to mention the time delay, once there is a conflict, Ji Weishan can completely rely on the Colon Islands to cut off the reinforcement route."
After listening to Zhang Zuolin's explanation, Sun Jiugong somewhat understood, this seems to be a bit of a tightrope, but this is also the only way at present, forcing the United States to armaments, although the risk is very great, but it is indeed the best way to consume, but in this way, China is bound to increase military spending, build more warships, isn't it the same as the gain outweighs the loss?
"Hehe, you are the same as I thought at the beginning, guess what the emperor did?" Zhang Zuolin smiled and deliberately turned around and asked.
"How?"
"Actually, it's very simple, at present, we have an advantage in naval equipment, and the technical strength of the United States can't even compare with Britain and France, so if he wants to compete with us for sea power, he must learn from Britain to deal with Germany, we build one, and he builds two!"
Thinking of Li Mo's explanation that day, Zhang Zuolin's deliberately lowered voice became more and more excited: "Now the emperor has put all the Russian ** ships captured last time in Honolulu, and he is ready to take this opportunity to sell them to those countries in South America, if the operation is done properly, at least 100 million US dollars can be earned, and it happens that the right to dig the entire Galagua Canal is now one by one." He looked at the chronology, calculated the jet lag in his heart, and smiled brightly: "The deal should have been reached." ”
Sun Jiugong immediately understood, being coerced by the United States, seeing that Panama's ** matter has been regarded as a great shame by all walks of life in Colombia, "but their strength is not good, they can only watch, and then suddenly someone came to tell them that they are going to build the Nicaragua Grand Canal and completely squeeze Panama to death, what does that mean?"
Not to mention how important 10 million is for Colombia, the mere fact that Panama can be played to death is enough for them to make an immediate decision!
The Americans will definitely not want to watch Hua come to build the Grand Canal, so they must take back the right to excavate" but the problem is that Hua is no longer the Manchu Qing Dynasty of the past, and if you want to take away the right to dig you must pay a price, and it is unrealistic to have another Panama incident, because that can only lead to a war between Hua and the United States, even if it is a small war on Colombian soil, you can know with your ass who will win the war that can get the support of the whole of Colombia.
So the United States can only buy with money!
"Damn! What a deal! Buy 10,000,000,000,000,000,000! It won't take more than a month! "Sun Jiugong has already thrown himself into the five-body body that Li Mo admires" To make such a big detour of the business, only Emperor Li can come up with it.
But?!
"Yuting, what if the United States is ruthless?"
"Whatever?!" Zhang Zuolin raised his head and finished drinking, and sneered: "There is one thing you don't know, a year ago, the emperor asked Commander Long to buy forty percent of the Panama Canal shares in Mr. Thomas's hands in the name of the navy" The United States has always been very slanderous, although this is the latter move, but think about it, if the United States is desperate, then we will pretend to buy forty percent of the Panama Canal shares from Thomas, and then ...... The old Sun Jiugong completely understood that "once these forty percent of the shares are exposed, it means that China can participate in the construction, and even the garrison can be above board" Unless it is a war, otherwise the United States can only stare dryly!
But the problem is that "the US naval force in the Pacific region is too weak to fight at all, and then it can only choose to solve it with money.
"100 million is less, if you count the forty percent of the shares, the United States will have at least 150 million US dollars, although Colombia must be dissatisfied with the right to dig into the hands of the United States, but the contract has been signed, and there is no way to interfere, but give them three capital ships, plus a cruiser, it should be able to make up for it, the United States will have a headache with a navy! As for control of the Panama Canal. Zhang Zuolin's eyes flashed: "Hehe, since the United States can engage in subversion, what if we are stronger and play again?!" ”
Sun Jiugong is completely convinced, dare to love Emperor Li even think about this, sell it to you, and wait for you to repair it and grab it, how cost-effective! Even if you can't get it back, 100 million dollars is enough to build ten capital ships, don't let all ten of them pass, stopping five ships is enough to block the canal outlet to the sea!
"Hua Wan, that Mr. Thomas, he changed his hexagram, or,."
"No or!" Zhang Zuolin waved his hand, interrupting Sun Jiugong's doubts, and said coldly: "Zanyao, do you really think that the Ministry of Intelligence is a vegetarian?" Their visit to Thomas is estimated to be no less than fifty! And the emperor got a ninth brigade out, just to win over the Jews? ”
"It's not! I'll tell you, that's actually the last way to block Thomas, to make him the leader of the Jewish statehood, just to be afraid that he will turn against the water, you think, if he is against the water, as long as we announce the Ninth Brigade and other things, with the current status of the Jews in the nations, hum! ”
Although Zhang Zuolin didn't finish speaking, one thing is very clear, if this matter is poked out, then even the United States can't stand some people stealing their own money to build a country, and the status of Jews in Europe is very low, if they really want to make trouble, I'm afraid that Britain, Germany, France and the United States will kill these unstable factors, at least expelled!
At that time, Thomas was not a super-rich man, but a bereaved dog, a sinner in the entire Jewish world.
"Then he doesn't know?"
"How is that possible? Although there is the emperor's guidance, a person who can create such a big business will not be able to see through the mystery? He can't help it, because retreat is death, and near is death, so it's better to go to the dark with his head on the first floor! ”
"And I can tell you that the emperor has been preparing for this matter since about ten years ago, because Thomas's shares were bought at that time!
"Ten years ago!"
After hearing this, even Sun Jiugong, a person who was on the battlefield and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in one go, couldn't help but feel a chill rise in his heart, and thought of four words. "Emperor's Mind!"
"In this world, in terms of means, there are few people who can play the emperor." Zhang Zuolin patted Sun Jiugong on the shoulder, and it just so happened that the guy came with a freshly baked duck, he opened the topic and said with a smile: "By the way, I heard that if you succeed this time, you will also get at least thirty percent of the funds, and I heard that it is still specially used for you, and you will do your best to improve your equipment and tactics." ”
"So, you're going to have to treat me to duck."
"Hehe, okay, then let's eat this fat duck today!" Sun Jiugong laughed, and stuck a chopstick on the second roast duck that had just been served, and couldn't help but think of the United States that was now thrown by Li Mo on the fire.
"Must be eaten hard!"!.
