Chapter 686 Will we be regarded as great powers and capitalists
Tianjin.
In the past 20 years, one of the earliest cities in northern China has gradually exuded its charm. High-rise buildings have begun to rise from the ground. Although the technical level has not reached the height of skyscrapers in later generations, there are already a lot of buildings with 15 or 16 floors. In addition, Yanjing has been listed as the most important ancient city in China. Although the cultural protection zone has the name of the capital, it is far less careful in construction than Tianjin, which makes some rich people like to live in Yanjing, but invest in Tianjin, resulting in extraordinary prosperity here. Some people have even called the nickname "North Shanghai".
In terms of high-rise buildings, economy, openness and capital adequacy, there is no place in China or even the whole of Asia to compare with Shanghai. With Li Mo's deliberate support, its prosperity has far ahead of Hong Kong and Guangzhou. It is only a matter of time before Wall Street, but Li Mo has not forgotten the construction of the economic capital. Tianjin, Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Singapore have been listed as the main markets for the future economy and capital of Greater China.
The newly built deep-water wharf area of Dagu Port has quietly become an important port in the north second only to Dalian. Sea ships and oil tankers have almost filled the whole harbor. The formerly messy footworkers and hardies are now basically extinct. They are not driven away, but by new freight companies under the influence of market leverage. Trains and trucks directly entering the port have also replaced cattle and horses as the main force of transportation.
Although there is a war and the domestic economy is also in a wartime state, the dock is not only not depressed but also busier. The only regret is that most ocean-going transport ships have been requisitioned by the army, so most of them are thousand-ton boats, which makes the old boatmen sigh that it is a pity that such a good deep-water dock.
It was not until a loud whistle that the regret in their hearts was reduced.
The snow-white hull, elegant lines, and nearly 50,000 tons of displacement make everyone who saw the ship shout excitedly, because even if you don't know the ship, you can imagine its origin as long as you see the bow sign. There is only one person in the world who dares to use the five-clawed golden dragon as a sign, not to mention that it is written below. The word "ocean" is two big.
Royal Ocean.
"God, this is too big."
"Big? I still think it's small. I heard that there have been several ships larger than it in Europe in the past few years. I want to say that our emperor has expanded his territory and is rich in the world. He should be the largest ship in the world, which shows the majesty of the heavenly dynasty!"
"Well, even if the Prime Minister goes to say that the emperor will not agree."
"Oh, why is that? Brother Ni, you are often in Yanjing. Is there any news?
"What else is there to say? Think about it. Who gave us the good days over the years? Which of your children has spent a penny on reading and reading? Over the years, the emperor has paid a lot of money by himself, especially for education. In that year, he didn't find out one billion or eight billion yuan. I heard from my brother that in order to save expenses and support national construction, the emperor recently sold several royal courtyards left in the early Qing Dynasty, and the use of several princes and princesses has been reduced.
"Oh, it's difficult. The family has family affairs, and the state has state affairs. In such a big country, there are so many people. Naturally, it's difficult."
"Hehe, don't worry, it's not our turn to do this. Look, look, those foreigners have come to protest again.
"Fuck his grandma, I don't feel tired of protesting all day long. I'm going to beat him up."
"Forget it, there are police in this matter. They don't make trouble. They just hold up a sign. You don't care about him. Besides, there are people holding up signs in the Yanjing Prime Minister's Office and the embassy every day to protest. What will happen if they fight every day?"
"Oy, let them be free for a while. When our army wins, beat them over, and these guys are still arrogant."
When the boatmen were chatting, more than a dozen white young people squeezed to Pier 1, where the Ocean was docked. As soon as they raised the sign to protest, they were surrounded by a large group of policemen. Originally, several people wanted to rush over, but when they saw a large number of soldiers coming, they immediately threw down the sign and disappeared into the crowd.
"These guys."
A car on the dock looks ordinary and looks like a bulletproof car to be greeted. Li Enfu shook his head and smiled bitterly. Recently, with the victory of Xinhua War Festival, the descendants of these first generation of skilled immigrants from Xinhua began to often protest in the Prime Minister's Office and embassies around the country, which gave the police department a headache. After all, they have obtained their nationality. There is no fight, killing, arson or anything, so I'm worried.
"Simply, just catch it." The accompanying Long Guozhang shouted.
Li Enfu spread out his hand and said with a wry smile, "That's not okay. These are the descendants of the technicians who joined our country in those years. They are already our citizens. Do you want to attack your own citizens? And they didn't mention anything else, that is to say, we took the lead in ending the war, for world peace, no war and so on. If we also catch it, what will happen?
"Slowly get used to it. We are capitalist and free countries!"
"Cough, yes, capitalism and free countries." Li Enfu coughed dryly twice, and I don't know what's wrong. Recently, Li Mo almost said this sentence. What does the emperor mean?
Li Enfu didn't know that Emperor Li felt this because he personally witnessed the birth of the red regime, so just as he was guessing nonsense, Li Mo, who was sitting in the car, stretched out. Thinking that later generations could only watch other countries on TV all day long, and he protested a few words about big and small things. Now he has also been protested. I think it's so good!
In fact, he is very open-minded about this kind of thing. After all, there have been many things in later generations, even in the period of the Republic of China in history. What's more, Xinhua now is a capitalist society that advocates freedom and cooking. There will be more and more such things in the future, so the mentality of officials should be changed, as long as it does not violate the law. Just ignore the brand. After all, this is also a channel of appeal, which can remind officials that the eyes of the people are looking at you.
The episode did not break the good mood of the three people. As the gendarmerie and a large number of military vehicles and even armored vehicles appeared on the dock, many people thought that the emperor had arrived, and there were more and more onlookers, which made Du Dazhuang and other guards around nervous.
A moment later, behind the wall composed of soldiers, Li Mo saw Nicholas II, who was closely protected by the agents. Like ordinary Slavs, he was of a medium height and had a big beard. Perhaps he was always high, and the emperor and nobleman on his body still existed, but his expression was a little lonely.
"Ha ha, this guy is in good health. He is wider and fatter than my old dragon. By the way, Mr. Li, didn't you say that he went on a hunger strike after getting on the boat? Why do you look so energetic? Unfortunately, I also asked people to prepare two big chicken legs!"
Li Enfu patted his forehead and was speechless about the bad taste of Long's big mouth. He smiled and said, "He can't die. We are still useful."
"Useful? What else is he doing? According to me, it can be slaughtered, and it's a waste of food to keep it. In a blink of an eye, Commander Long's eyes lit up when he saw Queen Alessandro and the four princesses coming out one after another. He smiled and said, "These daughters are still watery. Your Majesty, you can choose two girls."
"Is it the last time to send the queen to your house to warm your feet?" Emperor Li stared at this "in-laws" angrily. Long Guozhang quickly shrank his neck in horror and waved his hand and said, "I dare not stand it. As Mr. Li said, I'd better stay and spoil the food."
Li Enfu held the corners of his mouth. He couldn't be more familiar with this reckless naval commander. This guy is good at everything, that is, that stinky mouth, but only those who are familiar with him can know that this guy is not as confused and shrewd as his mouth! Why didn't you let your daughter hook up with the eldest prince? This man is a ruffian!
So he immediately laughed and said, "It's not a waste of food, or do you think the emperor doesn't want to push the border to Mount Ural?"
"What, isn't it blocked by Germany?" Long Guozhang put away his smiling face and asked in surprise.
"It's Germany's obstruction." Li Enfu said.
"Feng Qi's telegram has said many times that Germany does not want to see us occupy the sky of the Ural Mountains, afraid that we will reach out to Russia and Europe, so Russia explicitly refused this time, and even Lenin said that if the Urals were occupied, they would never withdraw from the war. Germany played a great role, and more importantly Yes, we have other more important battlefields. If they hadn't contained it, your emperor. Li Enfu looked at Li Mo and smiled, "I guess I can learn from Genghis Khan and set up a golden tent in Moscow."
"Damn it, these foreigners don't have a good fruit!" Long Guozhang automatically filtered the following words and cursed, "Isn't he afraid that we will interrupt the aid? Did Feng Qi look at it like this and was threatened?
"Afraid? Why are you afraid?" Li Mo crossed his eyes and said, "We are now a snipe on a rope. We don't have Germany's containment in Europe. Do you think you can really fight against Britain and the United States?"
"The emperor is right. Germany used itself to blackmail us and knew that we would not watch them fail, so he dared to make such a big bet. However, Feng Qi has reached an agreement with Germany. We do not take the Urals as the boundary, they will not touch Egypt and the Suez Canal, and Djibouti belongs to us and promised to do so. We are stationed in the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.
"Bullshit, it's strange that Germany will keep his faith!"
"That's right. Germany may keep its faith for a while, but it can never keep its faith for a lifetime, so we have to keep Nicholas II's family."
"Can we just leave Nicholas II? Whether it's Lenin or Belarus, I'm afraid they are not vegetarians. They will ask for a broken emperor? Long Guozhang asked puzzledly.
After looking at Li Mo, Li Enfu smiled and said, "Lao Long, you can fight, but you have to think more about some things."
Li Enfu said, "Now the civil war in Russia has begun. Although Belarus is aggressive, Lenin and other guys are not simple. It is estimated that we will fight for four or five years. What's more, we and the United Kingdom and the United States are fighting hard here. Even if Britain and the United States don't play in the future, Germany will definitely intervene, so Russia will become me. We are on the front line of European games!
The longer we fight, the more beneficial it will be to us, so the emperor has never touched Stalin and others, because they are all officials and the most important core members of the Soviets. They will not do it until Lenin stabilizes the political situation! And don't forget one thing. Western Siberia is too far away from us, but it is so close to Russia. Once refugees flood in, there will be hundreds of thousands or millions. How do you deal with it?
Kill all? At that time, all Slavs and Europe would hate us, leave a handle in the world, and the domestic minorities will be uneasy, but if they stay for a long time, they will bring hidden dangers to the uneasiness and even division of the northwest.
"Then simply refuse to enter the country."
"It's simple, do you know how long the border is? Instead of allowing them to run around, it's better to take the initiative to have a plan and organize the management. Li Mo stared at this guy and said.
"Lenin and Belarus will not want Nicholas now, but it doesn't mean that they won't want it in the future. I might as well tell you that Duan Fei has made contact with Gorchak and secretly funded weapons and ammunition. For this, we will use the remaining more than a million Russian prisoners of war and the remaining Russians in Siberia to train. About 300,000 troops are waiting to be used. Li Enfu narrowed his eyes: "When they are divided and exhausted, they are the power to decide their surname. As long as we swing to Yekaterinaburg, we will send troops to support, and a new country will rise up!"
"Oh." Long Guozhang said oh, scratched his head and said, "No wonder, last time I asked Yuan Shou why the Northwest Army had to stay so much. I dare to prepare this guy."
"It's not for him, but for ourselves. After all, Europe is Europe. No matter who will be the home of Russia in the future, it must be more inclined to Germany. At worst, it may be completely turn to Russia, so we need to build a barrier. Yekaterinaburg and the Urals have resources but lack industrial foundation, no matter who If we want to gain a foothold, we have to rely on us, and once a country is established, we can also justically send those refugees back. They have their own country, which will also reduce the pressure on our borders.
"I understand, so we now support Lenin and let him take power, because the Brest contract is in place. When he generally hates Germany in China, he at least dares not completely turn to Germany. When he gets an advantage, he will kill Stalin and others and prolong the war. If he is finally unified, he will start from Nicholas's children. Find someone to go back and lead the defeated generals of Belarus to build a small country in Yekaterinaburg as a buffer, so that they dare not turn to Lenin. They must rely on our support. We can use resources and weapons to let him survive for a long time and search for the resources there!"
"Yes."
Li Enfu said with a smile, "The Ural Mountains are indeed a natural boundary, but in fact, the bitter cold is severe. Except for Yekaterinaburg, other areas are basically not suitable for garrison. Geographically, they are far less than the wide Ob River. The only worry on this border is Qiu Ming, but if you don't have the strength, you can Can you hold it?
And we have no foundation in Western Siberia. Not to mention the northwest, it took us 20 years to immigrate to a place as good as the Southern Ocean alone. It took us ten years to immigrate to Xinjiang Province to reach its current scale. Now Western Siberia is farther away, so it will take about ten or twenty years to see the border immigration. As for the decision of the Prime Minister and the Parliament, the construction of the border wall from Tyumen to Lake Balkhash is too long. Although it has been passed, it will take quite a long time to build, so before that, we must need a buffer. When the northwest is completed and the railway is unblocked, and we Han people occupy the majority, the fence will be At that time, no matter who was the home of Russia or defected to Germany, as long as he dared to cross the Ural Mountains to attack, we could also rely on the perfect railway network and push back by tanks and armored forces in the shortest time. It was not big, but it was a little loss in the early stage. What's more, it was still a problem for Russia to dare to fight us. In the past, it was Russia's strategy is so deep that we have a hard time fighting, but now it's nearly 3,000 kilometers from Qiuming to Xinjiang. As soon as the railway is blown up, he will run to death!"
"M grandma, Mr. Li, according to you, Germany must have a battle with us!" Long Guozhang rubbed his hands, and it must be very cool to fight between the two countries in the future.
But before he could imagine it, Emperor Li kicked him. The tiger's eyes were bright and he said coldly, "As long as you can hold it for 20 years after the war, or don't fight after that, or I will directly help Germany and the whole Europe wash the ground!"
"Wash, the ground?!"
"Your Majesty, what does it mean to wash the floor?"
"It's not interesting." Li Mo didn't seem to want to mention the top-secret plan he had begun to study in advance, and changed the topic: "Well, have I asked you to prepare something?"
"something?" Long Guozhang, who was still immersed in the meaning of washing the ground, hurriedly said, "The battleship Lu Mang has arrived in Ryukyu. The shipyard said that it was basically undamaged and can be repaired and delivered in 10 days. In addition, there are two armored cruisers and seven light cruisers are ready, and those two have also been repaired. Arrived at the station of Aimei Island, but."
Seeing that Long Guozhang wanted to stop talking, Li Mo smiled and said, "What's the matter? And you Commander Long dare not ask directly?"
"Ha ha." Long Guozhang smiled and his face gradually condensed. He said, "Your Majesty, many people in our navy oppose the re-arming of Japan and North Korea, so that they have a navy, don't they?"
"The times are different." Li Mo waved his hand and said firmly, "Whether it is Japan or North Korea, it is no longer the past. As long as the Houyi plan is completed, as long as their future leaders are not fools, they will not choose to betray us. What's more, do you think those broken ships can threaten your navy?
And this is not just a matter of the navy. We have recruited a large number of soldiers in Japan and North Korea. Their second batch of 15 divisions have also been formed and are being trained. They have made so much effort, but so far there has been no statement. Do you think this is good? It chilled their hearts. Who will listen to us in the future?
"So the emperor and the Prime Minister have decided that in addition to several strategic islands, starting from the southernmost French Polynesia, the Samoan Islands and the Ryan Islands will be handed over to Japan and North Korea, and the emperor is ready to let them go by themselves. We're just reconciled and reconciled. Li Enfu blinked his eyes and aggravated the words "to divide by yourself" and said with a smile, "This is equivalent to dragging them east of Australia. In the future, whoever wants to attack Australia from the direction of America must first pass through the door of their handle.
And as long as we rely on Australia, Numéa, Vanuatu and Solomon Islands as a barrier, we can ensure the safety of shipping between the two continents, and Japan and North Korea are too close to us. They have no strategic buffer. As long as we don't make trouble, they can't turn over in their lives! "
"Your Majesty, it's no problem for you to give them these out-of-tune islands. They can't make trouble at such a long distance, and they will definitely be dissatisfied with each other if they divide by themselves, but what about New Zealand?" Long Guozhang asked anxiously.
Seeing that he was so anxious, Li Mo and Li Enfu looked at each other and smiled. The latter narrowed his eyes and said viciously, "After the war, white people who are willing to leave will be repatriated to Europe, and some white people who do not want to leave Australia will be sent to New Zealand to settle down. Then we divide New Zealand according to the South Island and the North Island and hand it over to Japan. Trusteeship in North Korea!"
"Hosting?! Hiss."
Commander Long spit out his tongue. Millions of white people hide in New Zealand, which is no different from the farm. What will happen in more than ten years?
"Your Majesty, you are looking for two door gods here. This is not."
Li Enfu squinted his eyes at the Dragon Kingdom, flashed his white teeth, and said with a smile, "Do you want to say that the emperor has released two hungry wolves?"
"Ha ha." Li Mo shook his head and smiled. After seeing that the convoy to pick up Nicholas II's family began to leave, the trucks wrapped in oilcloth began to drive out and said, "Os okay, Yuanshou and Shaochuan have discussed this matter, and the parliament is already reviewing it. Don't worry about it. Go and prepare for that matter. Ten days later, when I visited Japan, there was no trouble.
"Yes."
After Long Guozhang got out of the car and left, Li Mo asked, "Where is Feng Qi?"
"I arrived in Istanbul yesterday, and now it is estimated that I am discussing the establishment of Saudi Arabia and Greater Kuwait with Mohammed V. In addition, I learned yesterday that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reached a preliminary agreement with the Muscat Sultanate that after the Strait of Hormuz Strait, Haisab in the concession Cape Haima, according to their Guaranteed not to be divided, the Sultan of Muscat has said that the lease period can be extended to more than 100 years.
"More than a hundred years." Li Mo smiled. This is the last strategic place in the Persian Gulf. As long as the Khuseb is controlled, the Strait of Hormuz is completely in his own hands!
"Mr. Li, do you know that I have been thinking about one thing since we started in Honolulu?"
"Oh, what does the emperor think is so fascinating?"
"I'm thinking about it." Li Mo looked at Li Enfu and said, "One day, will other countries regard us as the new Asian powers and capitalists!"
"Haha!"
