Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 349 Thanks to the old Russian iron for the carnival gift package

Ice City Council Building

After the farewell banquet for Kokovtsev ended, Andre and Berg stayed at the end. Both of them knew that their time in Ice City was running out, so they took this opportunity to celebrate here again.

"Your Excellency, will you be promoted again when you go to Khabarovsk this time?" Berg flattered his face, which seemed to be a talent engraved in his bones.

Andre, who has heard about it for a long time, knows that this is the mask that the fat man wears all year round. Under the hypocritical, greasy, flattering appearance, he is unambiguous in his actions. The former Prime Minister of Japan also killed as he said, and even shot The picture was sent to Nicholas II for appreciation.To kill is to punish the heart!This is also the reason why even Andrei, the son of a top Russian nobleman, was afraid of Berg after he came to Ice City.

Andre is now a brigadier general. In the Russian army, it is a hurdle from the school level to the brigadier general, which is a leap in class; and it is even more a hurdle from the brigadier general to the major general, which means whether there is a direct army.Of course, this is only for ordinary people. For the son of the current Minister of War, these seem to be nothing, and this promotion is just a step-by-step process.Three years of silence is indeed enough.

The original plan was that after Andrei was promoted to a major general, he would be transferred to Vladivostok, but this time, because of the waywardness of the children of the nobles who did not know how many generations, it was Russia that gave up all the garrisons in the Qing Dynasty. It's not that simple...

"Master Berg, you have finished the matter of Ito Hirobumi. I think His Majesty the Emperor of St. Petersburg should miss your ability very much. Now the domestic factories are not peaceful." Andre said with a smile, no longer hiding his concern for Ito Hirobumi He already knew about the suspicion of this colleague because of the death of his colleague. Berglai ​​Ice City has its own affairs, and there will definitely be more affairs about Japan. The first step should be aimed at the factors of domestic instability.

Your Majesty the Emperor!The figure of Nicholas II flashed in Berg's mind...

Who was Nicholas II?If it corresponds to China, it is a bit like Chongzhen, but Zhida has few talents!

He held vengeance, because he was assassinated in Japan, and then provoked the war between Japan and Russia, insisted on going his own way, and caused the destruction of the Russian Second Pacific Fleet by himself;
He is stupid. Today's Russian court is ridden on his head by a magic stick, and even put on a green hat, but he still tolerates it for his son.Zhu Chuanwen even wrote it down with a look of ridicule after hearing such explosive news from the Hanyao St. Talking, it is very beautiful!Such an ironic sentence.

He is incompetent. In fact, Russia now has two very capable people, one is Werther, and the other is Stolypin. These two people are like the capable people of the Chongzhen Dynasty. They were abandoned. During the 17 years of Chongzhen's reign, The 19 chief assistants were changed like a lantern, and 7 Ministers of the Ministry of War were killed by the way.In Russia, this number can only be said to be more or less.

The British said that India was the brightest pearl on their queen's head, and Nicholas II wanted to intervene in the Far East, intending to create two crowns for himself, put them on the double-headed eagle's head, and compete with Britain.

Zhu Chuanwen also analyzed in his spare time that Tsarist Russia was made into such a state, and Nicholas II had a great responsibility.Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why an atheist regime will take over the continuation of Nicholas II's power afterwards.

Just as they sympathized with Chongzhen who was hanged in Meishan, later generations sympathized with the last Russian tsar whose whole family was executed.But in Zhu Chuanwen's view, the ruler did not contribute to the country's prosperity, just like a soldier who turned around and fled during a battle. He was either killed by ruthless artillery or shot by the bullets of the supervisory team. This is his own fault.

Hearing Andrei say to return to St. Petersburg, Nicholas II flashed in Berg's mind, and he shook his head to suppress his excitement: "Haha, soon! But the chairman of the public council of the ice city I am still a little worried about the new director of the North Manchuria Railway.

I think, whether it is the means or the ability of the new president of the Guild Council, compared to our spokesperson chosen by the Legion Chief, his ability is really much worse. "Berg said with a little worry, the current prosperity of Bingcheng has his share, and he is going to leave, and I really can't let go.

And the spokesperson that Berg said was Zhu Chuanwen.During his stay in Bingcheng, Andre submitted a total of 3 submissions to the Far East Command and the Siberian Governor's Office to select Zhu Chuanwen as Tsarist Russia's spokesperson in the Qing court, or a representative of Tsarist Russia's interests in North Manchuria.

This time, Kokovtsev, the Minister of Finance from Russia and the head of the Honorary Legion of the Far East Command, officially recognized it.In Russia, the title Mr. Zhu has also begun to circulate among officials.

Even if the safety of Bingcheng was entrusted to Zhu Chuanwen, it would also send an accurate signal to the outside world——Zhu Chuanwen is the spokesperson of the Russians in North Manchuria.

At first, Zhu Chuanwen was a little bit resistant, because Hanyao had been implementing Bingcheng's plan to borrow chickens to lay eggs, and even take the chicken away in the end. Such a name has no real benefits other than being labeled.

Zhu Chuanwen felt this way, and the Russians were even more so. The tie between Hanyao and Tsarist Russia was too weak.After a series of binding conditions are formed...

If it was changed to fashion, it would be Zhu Chuanwen, the little anchor, yelling frantically in front of the public screen: "Thank you for the carnival sent by the old Tsarist Russian railway! Big brother on the list, you are my god!"

In the face of such interests, what is personal reputation?There are heroes in the Kanto, and in the future, there will be a general surnamed Ma, who followed Li Ling and succeeded!Fame is nothing these days.

Zhu Chuanwen doesn't like to make money from the poor. He likes to make money from anyone who has money. Hanyao's livelihood products, such as flour, have nearly halved the price of foreign flour in Kanto in recent years. With such a foundation, in front of officials and gentry So what if you carry some notoriety?

"Berg, you should broaden your horizons. The Yellow Russia plan has failed. Since the beginning of this year, the Kanto region has begun the construction of a large-scale new army of the Qing Dynasty.

So in the future, we will still gradually lose the interests of the three provinces in the Kanto region. What we are doing now is to continue to delay this process, fully digest the interests of the "Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty", and completely block the Qing Dynasty's exports in the Sea of ​​​​Japan This is the way to contain the Qing Dynasty. "Although Andre drank some wine, his eyes were very clear at this time.

In the past few years in the ice city, Andre has been sending what he has seen and heard in the ice city to St. Petersburg.

The Qing Dynasty, this country has great potential in his opinion.According to Andre's prediction, the rise of this country should be very fast in the future. The reason why he was sent to Khabarovsk to garrison is largely because Russia listened to Andre's suggestion under the pressure of Europe. It is intended to focus on the west of Tsarist Russia, and the east begins to transform into a defensive posture.

The Russians need to digest the territory ceded from the Qing Dynasty for decades. They are very afraid that the Qing Dynasty, a country with a population of 4 million, will tear a piece of meat from the Russians after its rise. To put it simply, it will start protecting food.

Needless to say, what Bingcheng has become under the development of the Qing people, at least Russia has now adjusted its strategy when facing the changing situation in Europe and the pressure is gradually approaching, and Russia is still very afraid. If the Qing Dynasty and Japan join forces, it will What kind of consequences did it cause? Therefore, Kokovtseff actually sent a letter to the representatives of Japan, inviting them to participate in the talks in St. Petersburg.

"So, general, abandoning the ice city will be our way out in the future?" Berg asked a little surprised. Compared with the conspiracy and tricks he used well, Andre obviously had an advantage in the overall situation.

"The worst plan is like this, but at present, Zhu Chuanwen will be very good as the home of Bingcheng, relying on Bingcheng, an industrialized city nailed to the Kanto, raw materials will continue to be gathered here, and finally to our Imperial blood transfusion.

Instead of fighting the Qing people in the end, it is better to start a peaceful transition now, so as to ensure the maximization of our interests. "Andre shook the red wine in his hand. Compared with the strong vodka, when tasting the fruits of victory, the mellowness of the red wine is still more flavorful.

"So, this is the latest Far East strategy of the empire?" Berg asked.

"Yeah, support the agents in the Kanto region, and your Mongolian government agencies have started to provoke in Mongolia. This is the future strategy of the empire in the Far East. The neighbor of the Qing Dynasty can't settle down to develop. And now, Zhu Chuanwen is firmly Tied to our chariot." Andre got up, put down his wine glass, and walked towards his house.

In mid-November 1909, the Russian Finance Minister Kokovtsev left, Xiliang from Fengtian returned, and the dwarf representative from Japan disappeared mysteriously holding a secret letter from Russia.

The ice city seems to have regained its surface calm, and as Kokovtsev arrived in St. Petersburg, a transfer order about Andre also came to the ice city.

"Mr. Zhu, it seems that the cooperation of several years will come to an end." Andre was dressed in military uniform at home, and his family had already taken the train to Khabarovsk to take care of their new home, but he stayed in the last The house had a final farewell to Zhu Chuanwen.

"Yes, General, I wish you all the best for your trip in Khabarovsk!" Zhu Chuanwen said to his nobleman. It has nothing to do with other things. It is because of Andre that he survived the difficult capital accumulation During this period, and even after this time, he was appointed by the Russians as the person in charge of the defense of the ice city.

Naturally, the Russians would not appoint Zhu Chuanwen as the garrison commander for no reason. The Russians believed that Zhu Chuanwen had been tied to death for two things.

First, in the agreement between Zhu Chuanwen and the Russians, the insurance team of 4000 people will be his direct troops. Although he still accepts the affiliation of the Zhu family insurance team in name, Zhu Chuanwen guarantees that this force will completely obey him. order, and even Xiliang's denunciation of Zhu Chuanwen at the multilateral talks among the three countries.It also convinced the Russians that the current Zhu Chuanwen has no other way out except to hold their thighs tightly.

"Khabarovsk is not far away, so you can come and see me." There was a rattling sound in the empty room, and Andrei's fingers came in from Zhu Chuanwen, tapping on the wooden chair without stopping The handle, the rhythm is brisk and clear.

Zhu Chuanwen knew that this was the habit of this Russian. The slow and brisk rhythm always represented his mood, and he was in a very good mood at this time.

"That's for sure, General, it's not far from Ice City to Vladivostok (Vladivostok), and then to Khabarovsk."

"Well, you can take over my business in Ice City. Doug has already contacted our bank for you. I will go to Khabarovsk and start economic development just like you. Money is a must." indispensable part."

Andrei left, very thoroughly, not only gave Zhu Chuanwen the post of garrison commander of the ice city, but even assumed the responsibility of handing over all Russian industries to Hanyao. There are many factories in the expatriate area, and Andrei's family has tens of millions of rubles in assets Well, this time I will also take it away.

And Zhu Chuanwen definitely didn't have the money, but the Russians had a way to use Hanyao's assets as collateral for a loan.This is the second reason why the Russians believed that Hanyao had been tied to the Russian chariot, the carnival gift package sent by the Russian veteran.

Russia intends to control Zhu Chuanwen again financially...

"Yes, general, my subordinates are in contact with the Russian bank." Regarding this matter, Zhu Chuanwen really has no objection. The industries under Andre are all matches, food processing, glass and other factories. In Hanyao's plan, these will be the focus of development next year, but now this step has been accelerated.

As the Minister of Finance of Russia, Kokovtsev has deep economic power. A loan of 2000 million rubles is an aid from the Russians to Hanyao. All the property has been mortgaged to the Russian bank.

This mortgage is for a period of 10 years. Zhu Chuanwen is very smart. In exchange for the insurance team stationed in Ice City, it can be regarded as a wave of loyalty. so much...

And for 10 years, in the next 9 years, Hanyao only pays some interest every year, and repays all at once in the 10th year. Where can such good things be found? Zhu Chuanwen has a cold face these two days, But every time I go back to the porcelain house, I can wake up with a smile from my dream.

I can't help but keep shouting in my heart: Russian old iron 666.

"That's fine. I'll put down 500 million rubles on your side, and I'll take the 500 million rubles away. Don't you now have the ability to manufacture machines in Hanyao's No. To produce equipment for flour mills, match factories, and glass factories, I want to build an industrialized city in Khabarovsk, so that this second largest city in the Far East can actually play a role other than a railway hub!" Andrei's ambition Said vigorously.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, the price Hanyao gave you must be the cost price!" Zhu Chuanwen's mouth once again outlined a smile, he likes to make money from the rich, the cost price, the cost price in the mouth of the merchant How many are true.

The 17 factories in Bingcheng won the property rights, not to mention, this is another 1500 million rubles. The money from the rubber stock market will be gradually sold at the beginning of next year, and we will try to sell them all in a period of time after the New Year. But now it seems that this year’s At the end of the year, Hanyao took advantage of the great gift from the Russians to take the lead in embarking on the road of industrial upgrading.

The expatriate area, right? It's time to clean it up.

Zhu Chuanwen couldn't help smiling as he watched Andre get on the train to Vladivostok.

"Mr. Zhu!" The Russian station master of Bingcheng Station came up with a smile on his face.

"Kodaev! It's not easy to meet you at the station." Zhu Chuanwen teased, this is an old double-faced man from Bingcheng...

"Mr. Zhu, you have misunderstood me. I, Kodaev, am an excellent worker of the Eastern Railway Company. Look, can I join the trade union in your ice city?"

Zhu Chuanwen laughed, the Russians in Bingcheng, it's time to choose to stand in line!
