Chapter 393 Explore the way! Where is the road?

"Prime Minister, this is the last list of municipalities directly under the Central Government drawn up by the Ministry of Construction."

"Hmm."

Hearing the shout, Li Enfu slowly raised his head from the pile of documents, took the handed over the documents, and asked, "Which cities are they?"

"In addition to the previous Yanjing, Tianjin and Dalian, this time they are going to list Shanghai, Hong Kong, Yucheng, Qingdao and Yinchuan as municipalities directly under the central government. In this way, there are eight municipalities directly under the central government. In addition, the Ministry of Construction has also formulated four overseas special management areas according to the emperor's ideas, respectively. It's Kuntian, Davao, Honolulu and Bahai. Tao Chengzhang stood at his desk and slept.

Looking at him confidently, Li Enfu smiled and closed the document and asked, "Cen Zhang, I remember that you were the first batch of students to graduate from Yanjing University at the end of last year, right? So let's talk about it, why do we want to establish municipalities directly under the central government and special management districts?

Tao Chengzhang didn't expect that the Prime Minister of Li Wanji would remember his little assistant to the Prime Minister's Office. He could call out his name and immediately said excitedly, "Prime Minister, it's good for you to remember your surname."

"Ha ha, I'm old." Li Enfu put the document, took out a cigarette, and then continued, "Say it, be bold. It's just you and me here."

Tao Chengzhang was a selected student when Yanjing University was first built two years ago. Before that, he was recommended by Liang Qichao and went to Honolulu University to study management for two years. However, he did not expect that he was recommended to the Prime Minister's Office after a year of further study at Yanjing University. He immediately envied his classmates.

At this moment, when he heard Li Enfu's inquiry, he immediately said, "Municipal directly under the Central Government, so the name means direct jurisdiction. Because the city is far smaller than a province, it is more convenient to manage. These are more developed, or the economy is better, or the cities with important geographical location, are pulled out of the provincial management alone, which is equivalent to letting them You can focus more on development and construction.

Because they are directly under the central government, they do not have to compete with their provinces for resources, so that they can better develop and build. When they develop, they can drive the region and set a good example for everyone.

"As for the special management area." Tao Chengzhang continued to say, "In fact, the meaning is the same as that of municipalities directly under the Central Government, but because they are all overseas, Xiang Honolulu and Bahai still belong to the fiefdoms obtained by the emperor in his early years. There are still problems in sovereignty. Although Luzon and Borneo have been established provinces, there are still local people who have not been naturalized there. If you rashly go to the central government. Taking over in the name of the genus will cause concern to the locals, but. Speaking of this, he suddenly touched the back of his head and said with a smile, "In the future, when those locals are naturalized, these will still be changed to the municipality directly under the central government."

"Well said!" Li Enfu put down the cigarette, patted his chin, and asked with a smile, "Cung Zhang, I can't see it. Your analysis is really thorough. Where did you learn it?"

Tao Chengzhang did not dare to hide it and said, "Actually, when the emperor went to Peking University to tell you about the future development of the country last time, I guessed that he deliberately marked these places. Later, the French economics teacher also mentioned that the economy of a geographical country could not be evenly distributed, because the equal distribution would cause everyone to not have enough to eat and become half-hang. The situation of the child must be focused and prominent, so that some cities can develop quickly, and then drive the four neighbors with these cities.

"Well, that's right, but it's also good that you can add your understanding." Li Enfu suddenly turned around and asked again and again, "Cen Zhang, do you know why you were elected to the secretariat?"

This problem also stunned Tao Chengzhang for a moment, saying that his knowledge can only be regarded as ordinary among his companions, not to mention his family background, and it is even more nonsense to talk about the experience of studying abroad. You know, now there are two or three or three talents who have returned from European and American countries every year. I just went to Hawaii, where it is still the emperor's private life. The land is sealed.

He shook his head: "The students don't know."

"Because you know how to persevere, your surname is better than others, and you have a heart that does not achieve your goal!" Li Enfu waved his hand with a smile: "This is a new country. If we can't calm down, strengthen our beliefs, and work steadily step by step, won't ordinary people be even more at a loss?"

"Go ahead and work hard. Xinhua will rely on you young people in the future."

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Tao Chengzhang recalled Li Enfu's words and nodded vigorously, but as soon as he was about to pull the door out, he was suddenly hit and saw Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi rushing in anxiously.

"Prime Minister, the Russian fleet has arrived."

Knowing that the two adults had something important to discuss, Tao Chengzhang quickly brought it to the door, but the words from the crack of the door still made him suddenly stagnate and his heart beat suddenly.

Russia is still here!

Can't these great powers let our Xinhua live a good day for a few days?!——

The Russians really came. The fleet of two first-class armored cruisers, two second-class protective cruisers and three destroyers finally sailed back to the Far East after a few years.

But General Witheft, who led them, who was temporarily moored in Banda Aceh, was worried. The scene of being captured in the last naval battle was still vivid. As long as he thought of the terrible beasts of the other side after crossing the Strait of Malacca, his feet trembled.

What's worse, the so-called first-class armored cruisers Varyag and Parada led by him can only be regarded as second-class, because although both sister ships have a displacement of more than 6,000 tons, they don't know that the idiot designed it. It is only equipped with a gun with a maximum diameter of 152 mm, and both of them are Turretless and unprotected deck gun!

As the former commander of the Far East Fleet, he naturally knows what will happen to this kind of warship when it enters the Far East Sea. What's more, after the last failure and being captured and suffering a "great humiliation", as the only naval officer who was released, he finally asked the relationship to find a talent to save his seat. Originally, he would be a Maca. Pov's staff returned to the Far East

But who would have expected that as soon as General Makapov arrived in Vladivostok, he encountered a mine and played a good role of dying before he was successful. In this way, he, the only general with "experience" in playing with the Xinhua Navy, became the vanguard of this road exploration, because the great His Majesty Nicholas II felt that these experiences were helpful. Yu defeated the Xinhua Navy.

There is no problem in exploring the way, but the damn navy only gave itself two first-class armored cruisers, but the Xinhua Navy on the opposite side has nine battleships and three first-class armored cruisers, and eight Jinghai-class cruisers who don't know whether to calculate the first-class or second-class Jinghai-class cruisers. After all, this is to send appetizers to others. Do you think the Xinhua Navy dare not fire?!

Well, even if according to the Admiralty, Russia and Xinhua have not declared war, they will not fire, but is it easy to explore the way? The damn Li Mo almost shrouded the whole Far East under the naval gun, and he didn't know which way to go!

Walking through the Strait of Malacca? No, as long as you cross over, there are Borneo and Luzon. The Nanyang Fleet of the Xinhua Navy is waiting there, and they obtained the patrol right from the British last time. Maybe they will be found in the middle of the road.

Even if the Malacca Strait passes through and enters the South China Sea, the problem is that there are two necessary ways to reach Vladivostok or enter the Pacific Ocean, the Bus Strait and the Taiwan Strait. The former British have just broken the halberd, and the latter is simply the gate of others.

Take the Indian Ocean and take a detour to Sumatra? Or enter New Guinea and then go through the ugly summer? God, my wronged soul is still crying there.

Even if he dodged the interception all the way, the Tsushima Strait was controlled by Xinhua. After the last war, Li Mo was not even willing to rent, but directly asked Japan to cede the island, and finally got it!

It's okay not to go to the Tsushima Strait. You can take a detour to the sea, but the problem is that Hokkaido has made a shrimp country. In fact, there are dozens of times more Chinese than the shrimps. Moreover, Xinhua, as a protectorate country, has been stationed for a long time. It is also shamelessly saying that the Chiba Islands are the territory of Xinhua, making the sea into The amusement park can't be bypassed at all!

Looking at the open chart, Wittheft wanted to cry without tears. He finally knew why the officers laughed so obscenely when they heard that he had received the task, because the road from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean was almost strangated to death. Although the British had said that they would not obstruct Russia's passage through the Strait of Malacca, the problem was They refused to provide a supply base, and the continuous occupation of Luzon and Borneo also made it a big problem how to break through the Strait of Malacca.

Why don't you just take a detour to Australia?

Witheft thought wildly about sketching it, but when he roughly calculated the distance, his face turned white. It was estimated that it would be gone before he could go around to burn coal. Even if Britain could provide coal through Australia, after entering the Eastern Pacific, Hawaii was stuck there like a hard fish bone, and the Xinhua Navy was too The strength of the Pingyang Fleet is stronger than that of the Nanyang Fleet. The fleet with them as the main body even drove away Felix Man last time.

God and Russia played a joke on themselves. After bypassing half the world and arriving here, it seemed to have entered a maze, and then there was a machine gun at every exit.

You can't move forward, and you can't retreat. If you go back like this, the great His Majesty Nicholas II will immediately be impermanent. In the end, Witheft could only look at the chart stupidly and stay in Bandaazi for five days.

But he can't stay like this all the time?

The Dutch are already anxious to death. Xinhua has been peeping at Sumatra and Java for more than a day or two. There are only two geographically poor islands left in the huge Dutch East Indies. It is already a risk for the Russians to add coal to rest. If they continue to stay, it is estimated that the Nanyang Fleet of the Royal New China Navy should come to Ma. I'm bored!

"Go, you must go!"

In the end, the Governor-General of East India of the Netherlands was almost straight and drove Witkhft into the sea with the army, but Witkhft was finally a little clever. He immediately took the initiative to contact the Southern Ocean Fleet Command of the New Chinese Army and told them that the great Russian fleet came to visit France's good friends and was ready to take the fleet first. Go to Jinlan Bay for a few days.

But what he didn't expect was that before Xinhua could respond, the French stopped. Paris kept sending telegrams to warn Russia not to cause trouble to France, otherwise any assistance would be stopped.

This is a big deal. Russia has just reached a new battleship gun withdrawal technology assistance plan with France. If it is cancelled, I'm afraid it will not be able to build a new battleship in a few years.

I can't go to Jinlan Bay either!

Witkhft almost finished his hair, and finally he made a bold decision that made the whole world dumbfounded!

Instead of going to Vladivostok, he rushed to Dili in the east of Java with seven warships. After driving away a Dutch cruiser, it was announced that Dili and East Timor were occupied by Russia! ......
