Today is a good day for the military division to interrogate Zhuge Youdao!

The venue of the triage was in a "classroom" on the fourth floor of the Beijing Institute of Technology Building, and the seventeen military divisions of the Zhuge family reached twelve, and five of them were not in Beijing, either as officials in other places, or busy with their careers, and they couldn't be separated, so they didn't come.

The twelve military advisors are now sitting in a row in the classroom, all of them are elderly uncles, tall, short, fat and thin, all of them look like each other, but they are all dressed quite consistently, all of them are wearing scarves, cranes, and feather fans. At first glance, well, twelve Zhuge Liang!

In the center, of course, Zhuge is the head of the Zhuge family, who has been in the middle for a long time, and he is an old man's military adviser in international politics! The poisonous plan to trick the Archduke Natalie into becoming the queen and give birth to a child with the right to inherit the throne of the Rakshasa was used to split the Rakshasa at the right time and seize the eastern territory of the Rakshasa was the poisonous plan that he and Zhuge Youde came up with.

The two "old traitors" have been laying out the bureau for more than ten years, but now they have been completely destroyed by Zhuge Weidao, why don't you make the old man angry? When the old man saw Zhuge Weidao and Zhuge Weixue come in together, he was smiling and grinning, as if he was nothing, and he was so angry that he was about to become old Zhou Yu.

On both sides of Zhuge Weijiu, Zhuge is the family, Zhuge is the righteousness, and Zhuge is the filial piety, among which the family is the financial military division and a banker, and the Yangtze River Bank of the Zhuge family is in charge of him. In addition, he is also the general manager of the Zhuge Family Industry Association!

Zhuge Weiyi is a shipbuilding military division, and now he is a shipbuilder of the Admiralty, and in his early years, he also served as the chief manager of Jiangnan Heavy Industry, and he was also the chief designer of the Hongwu Emperor.

Zhuge Weixiao is a feng shui military master - the so-called feng shui military master, who does not look at feng shui professionally, but manages construction and development. He is an authority on where to build cities, where to build railways, where to build ports, how to build them, how to build them, and how much to invest. As for what is bad or bad feng shui for building railways, he is even more authoritative! As long as he pinched his fingers, everyone else had to shut up!

In addition to these four, there are four other military advisors who are characters and four who are characters. They are the power generation division Zhuge for the country, the machine division Zhuge for the country, the steel division Zhuge for the dynasty, the mathematics division Zhuge for the Ming, the chemical division Zhuge Youpin, the physics division Zhuge for reason, the naval division Zhuge for the new, and the army division Zhuge for the gang. If you look at the names of these military advisors, you can see that they are all expert military advisors, and they are all academic authorities in a certain aspect. In fact, before they became military advisors, they were already experts, and becoming military advisors and getting the guidance of the Book of Heaven allowed them to take a step forward on the basis of experts.

And these twelve Zhuge military divisions, all of them are scholars, and they are all "Zhuge cattle people" who were rolled out of the eight hundred Zhuge ...... If you want to test their IQ, there must be no one lower than one hundred and twenty. If it is less than this number, you won't even be able to pass the first test of the military division test!

Now these curly and bullish Zhuge military advisors already know that Zhuge Youdao, this stupid Zhuge with a "bad brain", actually wants to fight the group of Ge...... To challenge the position of military advisor that it took them more than ten or twenty years, or even thirty years, to win is really a bit laughable.

However, according to the family rules of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Weidao is qualified to challenge the position of military advisor - he passed the initial exam five years ago, and his test score was very high, and he did eighteen of the twenty super difficult math problems correctly!

This IQ is really envious!

So he can indeed challenge for the position of military advisor. However, this military division position is not something that can be won by doing questions...... The big guys have "rolled" the military division position for more than ten or twenty years, and they were already the number one person in all aspects before they won the military division position. Why did he let "Xiao Zhuge in his twenties" win the position of military division with just a naval major? There are many army and navy officers in the Zhuge family who have reached the rank of general and have not obtained the position of military division!

The group of old Zhuge present looked at the eyes of Zhuge Weidao, the little Zhuge of the Dao, but they were not very friendly.

However, before challenging the position of military division, Zhuge Weidao also had to pass the level of the military division regiment, if he could not satisfactorily explain his behavior in the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Jin Empire, then he would be exiled by the family, and naturally he would lose the qualification to challenge the military division.

And Zhuge Weidao's crime this time is not small, most of them will be unable to escape the punishment of exile!

Thinking of this, a few old Zhuge were a little sympathetic to Zhuge for the Tao. That feng shui military master Zhuge was filial piety and even felt guilty - Zhuge Youde's yin house was found by him, and it was obviously a treasure of feng shui! Why can't you bless Zhuge Weidao? Didn't you look closely?

At this time, Zhuge Weidao had already sat down on a chair placed in front of the Twelfth Army Division, and he also crossed Erlang's legs, looking at the twelve "Zhuge Liang" with a smirk - it was not that he was stupid, but that the twelve "Zhuge Liang" got together and sat in an old classroom, and there was an old-fashioned wooden desk in front of everyone...... Is this Zhuge Liang training class? It's ridiculous to think about!

"Daozi," Zhuge Weixiao, who was a little guilty, shook his feather fan, and at this time spoke with a kind face, "We know that your head was seriously injured in Petersburg, and you are a little confused...... That's why I did so many foolish things. You, as long as you admit your mistake, we will forgive you, and we will not expel you from the city, nor will we let you go to New Manchuria...... Arrange a comfortable place for you to go and protect you from being rich for the rest of your life. ”

"Yes, yes," Zhuge Youli, the most reasonable old man with a written physicist, immediately stroked his white beard and said, "Daozi, we have discussed, you only need to admit your mistake, let you retire from the navy, and then build a big manor in Nanyang or Siam for you to retire for your retirement." ”

"Pension?" Zhuge gave this old Zhuge a lot of joy for the Tao, "You old Gui Geng? ”

"Eighty-three," Zhuge said with a grin, "My grandsons are older than you!" ”

"You are eighty-three years old and have not retired, I am only twenty-six, you let me retire, you don't pay attention to what you say!"

Zhuge was not angry, and said with a smile: "Didn't you have a broken brain?" You ruined the situation of your second brother and your father in Petersburg for more than ten years, and pushed the Grand Duke Alexander of the Rakshasa Kingdom and Princess Victoria of Britain together...... If the British and Rakshasa alliance are completed, my Ming will be isolated internationally. ”

Saying that, he sighed again: "Daozi Xian nephew, I am a scholar, and I don't know much about these international things, before your brain was broken, you knew much better than me." What a pity! ”

"One hundred and eight brothers," the banker military master Zhuge Weijia also regretted, "once the British and Rakshasa marry and form an alliance, the Westerners will become monolithic...... Then we're in big trouble.

These Westerners, whether they are Rakshasas, English, French, Spaniards, Portuguese, or anything else, are all the same in their bones, they are robbers! Their original territory is the European one, these hundreds of years relying on their strong ships and cannons and the first step into the age of sailing, robbed most of the world's territory and wealth, and only our Ming Dynasty because of the ancestor Wuzhong King such a hero suppressed them in Malacca and the Dutch East Indies, so that they did not dare to go north.

Moreover, we also used trade to absorb most of the gold and silver plundered by Westerners from the New World, Africa, and India to the Ming Dynasty, and even used the silver earned from trade to invest in the industries of British Malacca, Dutch East Indies, British Ceylon and the Suez Canal Company. Most of the shares of the Suez Canal Company were also bought by our people..... In addition, we have invested in a lot of industries in Rakshasa and Western European countries!

But if we can't keep the Western countries divided and balanced by supporting one faction and suppressing the other, but let them unite or unify, then the bandits will have to worry about our money...... Although our investment in Malacca and the Dutch East Indies can still be snatched back, the investment in the west of Malacca will have to be lost. And once Malacca and the Dutch East Indies grab it, the more than 10 million natives there will also be a trouble, even if they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, we will lose, otherwise how to deal with it? ”

The banker and military advisor babbled a bunch of ...... Actually, it's not entirely unreasonable. The foreign policy, foreign trade, and investment policies pursued by the Zhuge family are also formulated with reference to the Book of Heaven, which is of course extremely targeted.

On the way to Beijing, Zhuge Weidao had already inquired about the "overseas investment" of the Zhuge family with Manager He Tianran. Not to mention Malacca, the Dutch East Indies and Ceylon, which are not too far from the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence, are also quite wise to invest in the West.

Controlling a stake in the Suez Canal would allow the Zhuge family to control at least one of the directors of the canal company, giving the family a say in the Suez Canal issue and influencing Ali Pasha in Egypt.

The Zhuge family's investments in Western Europe are also interesting, not in London, Paris, Amsterdam, nor in stocks and bonds, but in the land of the Ruhr area. After the death of King Wuzhong of Zhuge Wuzhong, the Zhuge family began to buy land in the Ruhr area to allow some precious metals to flow back to Europe - so as to maintain the liquidity of the European market and allow Europeans to continue to buy Ming goods.

The land in the Ruhr area bought by the Zhuge family was mainly used to grow grapes and wheat. Although the rate of return is very low, for more than a hundred years, the Zhuge family has been constantly buying, and it looks like it is not bad at all. Now the land close to the Rhine, the Ruhr and the Lippe has been almost bought...... Although it did not completely prevent the development of the Ruhr coalfields, which are spread over several thousand square kilometres of land, they increased the cost of extraction and transportation and reduced the competitiveness of the Rhineland's industry.

I have to say that although these Zhuge military divisions are relatively cowardly, they are also enough to lose!

Seeing Zhuge Weidao smiling and silent, Zhuge Weijiu thought that he had already made a mistake, so he sighed and said: "One hundred and eight brothers, you have done more than this ridiculous thing these days, you have also done two ridiculous things in the Jin Kingdom, one is to collude with Emperor Daoguang of Jin privately...... Well, I won't talk about it! You, admit your mistake and go to Nanyang to be the owner of the manor! ”

Zhuge Weidao smiled and began to pretend to count his fingers.

"One hundred and eight brothers, what are you doing?" Zhuge Weijiu looked at the little brother in his hand and frowned.

"Second brother," Zhuge replied solemnly, "I pinched my fingers and knew that you were using an offshore balance against Great Britain, Rakshasas, France, and Prussia...... It is to maintain the division and balance of power in Europe by constantly supporting Europe's regional powers to balance the major powers that are keen on pursuing European hegemony. Am I right? ”
