Chapter 461 Lenovo brought by the White Fleet
@@@@@@@@@@ The weeping willows are deep, and the lake is clear.
Several heron birds rippled in the green waves, playing with each other's necks, flapping their wings to leave but still nostalgic.
The Summer Palace in May is undoubtedly the most beautiful. The flowers are clustered and colorful. Kunming Lake is more like a green jade, giving people a relaxed and happy feeling.
Because of the early protection and early protection of the concept of ancient buildings, the old Yanjing City next door has been protected to the greatest extent. Although there are also factories have been built, the land sale is strictly supervised, and the Ministry of Construction has also set up a special agency to manage it. After many seriously polluted factories have been planned in advance and moved to Tianjin coastal zone.
In this era, Li Mo can't completely solve industrial pollution. He can only control it as much as possible. This is the price of environmental rejuvenation. Even Britain and the United States can't change anything in this era.
Looking at the surrounding scenery, Chen Ping couldn't help but feel that things are different. This garden represents Xinhua's highest masterpiece. In case, he had never thought that he could come in often before.
In just ten years, Chen Ping will also have the feeling that things are different. All the things promised by the 12-year-old child to him have been realized, and it has greatly exceeded a lot. Especially after the statistics of the Prime Minister's Office came out a few months ago, he and everyone were shocked. It turned out Under the leadership of the young emperor in front of this country, this country has quietly surpassed France, becoming the fourth largest country after the top three of the United States, Britain and Germany, and even surpassed the old France in industrial status!
Although this has something to do with the population base, it can pull back the Qing Dynasty, which had the reputation of being the world's largest economic power decades ago, from the rapidly declining ranking, from an industrial backward country with only Hanyang and a few manufacturing bureaus, to an industry that has begun to take shape and can even build the world's strongest warship. He has made great contributions to the country!
In his opinion, the role of the young emperor is not to spend how much money, how much land he encircles, or buy hundreds of thousands of machines and equipment, but to gradually rejuvenate the country with a very clear system with ideas and meticulous plans that no one knows where in his mind.
It is true that from the perspective of the per capita ranking, Xinhua is not even as good as the Ottoman Empire, which is known as the sick man of Europe, but the vigorous spirit shown has been impressive, especially the triumphal parade a few years ago, which completely stimulated the fighting spirit of the people of the whole country and left all their minds. The Chinese people who are not as good as foreigners clearly know that we have stood out of the world!
This kind of incentive, even a few years later today, is still in the newspaper!
When the ten-year naval plan bill was passed, even he was in a trance, because he found that from the winter of 1892, he had been unconsciously around this young man for fifteen years. For whom, fifteen years was a long experience.
So when he came with this information, he thought that Li Mo would definitely be surprised, because the American' move was almost learning the victory parade of Xinhua not long ago. As long as the voyage around the world was successful, all walks of life in the United States would be very excited, but he never thought that Li Mo would prepare the American fleet to launch a large-scale ring. The information of the ball navigation was casually placed aside. This action made him and Duan Fei frown. It seemed that they didn't understand why he turned a blind eye. You know, according to the information, this is a huge voyage that may involve more than 20 main battleships.
It's just that they know that Li Mo has known about the White Fleet in his previous life. Naturally, he will not be surprised when he hears it. What's more, this is not so much a display of national strength and image as the last gorgeousness of the former fearless era, because this fleet has long been full. The department is outdated.
To describe it as a more extreme sentence he saw in the BB Party Forum in his previous life, it is "the largest garbage removal operation in history".
The words are very extreme, but it still makes sense, because the battleships currently in service in the United States are all outdated models, but the powerful industrial manufacturing capabilities of the United States have been reflected in this voyage. Perhaps few people have thought of it. In fact, before the dreadnought, the most powerful maritime expansion was on the other side of the Atlantic except for the United Kingdom. The United States.
After reincarnation, he secretly poked and bought all the tricks, but the total number was still not as good as that of the United States. If it hadn't been for the poor technology of the United States before World War I, Britain, France and other countries would have deliberately restricted the transfer of technology, the United States might have made the world's strongest fearless fleet.
But even so, the United States still has 26 battleships, 8 armored cruisers and other warships. In terms of the total tonnage of service, it has quietly surpassed Xinhua and become the world's fourth navy.
This emerging industrial country is constantly showing its teeth, but as described in a cartoon, although it has a big belly, its teeth and claws are still not sharp enough, just as it has shown its strength to Japan in history.
If spending 180 million yuan to buy full control of the Panama Canal is just a little blood for the United States, then the Caribbean ship collision has deeply stimulated this emerging country, and it can't wait.
After getting up and stretching, Li Mo motioned the two of them to walk with him, but after only two steps, he suddenly changed the topic: "Has Lenin returned to Europe?" How much benefit do you want from him?
"Hehe, how many benefits can he have?" Chen Ping shook his head and smiled, "A total of 100,000 pounds were taken out, 20,000 disabled veterans were taken away, and 5,000 rifles were taken away."
"Ha ha, don't underestimate him." Li Mo shook his finger with a smile: "The Bolsheviks have searched a lot in Russia over the years, and they still have many sympathizers in Europe. If they are really armed, it should not be a problem to arm hundreds of thousands of people."
"That's good." Duan Fei agreed: "According to the information we have, the party led by Lenin still has some family background. In the last Russian turmoil, they took the opportunity to rob the property of many rich people. Although there are no specific statistics, we estimate that there are millions of pounds in total."
"Oh? Then why didn't you say it earlier? If I had known that I had sneed him a little more. Chen Ping rubbed his hands, which seemed to be a pity for this good opportunity.
"Don't worry, this is just a stone throw to ask for directions. At present, we are the only ones who can provide them with a large number of weapons. He knows very well that the enemy's enemies are friends, and he brings 20,000 people back this time. The Bolsheviks can definitely gain momentum, which will cause Nicholas II. With more pressure, Nicholas II will hate them even more!" Li Mo narrowed his eyes and said, "So if they contact again, they will sell it!" But people must not let it go again!"
"Yes." Chen Ping just nodded in response, and Li Mo turned to Duan Fei and said, "You have to continue to strengthen your penetration in Russia. The Bolsheviks have also offended many people in order to accumulate wealth and incite riots over the years. Those people are the objects of your attention. If you can absorb a batch, it will be more convenient to act."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, we are already working on it."
"That's good." Li Mo is still very reassured about Duan Fei. Compared with others, this brother-in-law and intelligence leader is undoubtedly one of the people who know his thoughts.
Hearing that Li Mo had been asking about Lenin, he didn't say a word about the U.S. fleet. After Duan Fei and Chen Ping exchanged glances, they took the lead in asking, "Your Majesty, what about the U.S. fleet?"
"What's the hurry?" Li Mo smiled and said, "Such a large fleet is slow. It will take half a year to cross South America from the east coast to San Diego base. When they get here, I'm afraid it will be at least the end of the year."
"But the United States has asked us to enter Honolulu to temporarily add coal, and to go to Japan. We think the United States may take this opportunity to expand its influence in Japan."
"Oh?" Chen Ping's words made Li Mo stop. This was something he didn't expect. In his previous life, he was strong, and after the arrival of the U.S. fleet, he only showed his muscles. Now he is weak. So will the United States take this opportunity to make some tricks to contain itself?
Thinking of this, he immediately turned his head and looked at the two and asked, "Do you have any accurate information?"
"That's not true, but if it were me, I would never give up this opportunity, and there are still many people in our country who are trying to restore the emperor's rights, so we have these worries." Chen Ping replied.
"Where is Xixiang Congdao?"
"He is a person who knows the current affairs and is very clear about the current relationship between our two countries, so he has always advocated reconciliation with us. However, the more so, the more fierce the opposition in China is. Recently, there have been several assassinations against him." Duan Fei immediately talked about the current situation.
Judging from the signs, some young people in Japan have obviously been deceived recently and are conspiring to gather against Xixiang. In addition, they have also got the contradictions between the United States and Xinhua. They are ready to take this opportunity to use the United States to contain Xinhua and help them get rid of the current predicament.
And according to the observation of the Intelligence Department, this trend has shown signs of spreading, so Duan Fei and others are worried that in case the U.S. fleet arrives in Japan, those radicals will take the opportunity to seize power, coupled with the strength of the arrival of the U.S. fleet, it is very likely to reverse the situation at this moment in one fell swoop!
Li Mo didn't expect that this country, which was about to be forgotten by him, would start to be chaotic again. Although this chaos can no longer threaten him now, it is obviously not a good thing for the United States to continue to intervene.
It has not been a few years since the First World War, and there is no time to play Tai Chi, so no matter whether the speculation of the two will happen or not, we must clearly realize that our knife has not rusted! So when he saw Li Mo's cold eyes, Chen Ping immediately suggested, "Your Majesty, Hengxuhe is in our hands. Do you want it?"
"No, we can't do this." Li Mo waved his hand, and a gloomy smile appeared at the corners of his mouth: "Yuan Shou, you immediately send someone to visit North Korea and contact Jin Kainan. Tell him that we are currently adjusting the military deployment and need some troops to help defend Yokosuka. If possible, we might as well fund them to station and be responsible for the defense.
"Let the North Koreans go?" Duan Fei interrupted and said, "Will they be willing?"
"Yes."
Chen Ping seems to understand what Li Mo means. He doesn't want to make trouble in the backyard again. At least there should not be a presence similar to Cuba. He should take the opportunity to kill all external unstable factors! However, it can't destroy the governance foundation of Xixiang Congdao, which has been supported for the past two years, and he doesn't want me to be too hostile to Xinhua, so he is ready to let the North Koreans take action, so he said, "North Korea has been bullied by Japan for so many years. It was very active in Russia to let them cooperate with Shikoku Island before. Now it is there. A regiment is more active in public security management than us. If we are willing to bear the military expenses, Jin Kainan should not refuse.
"And, hum! He should now understand who the master is!"
As soon as Chen Ping's two cold hums were over, Li Mo nodded: "Go and do it. There is only one purpose. Keep Xixiang from the way, and our people don't do it!"
"Yes."
After seeing the two people leave, Li Mo was just about to go back to the study to check the information of the Dabai Fleet he had recorded in his early years, when he saw Li Xiufeng suddenly come in with a familiar figure.
"Thomas! You damn guy, it's almost a year now!"
