Great Entrepreneur of the Universe

Chapter 292 1912, Titanic
Two years flew by.

In February 1912, at a seaside location in Yau Ma Tei, Wang Shouliang was sitting on the shore fishing, surrounded by dozens of male and female guards who were on alert.

When Wang Wufang, who was more than three years old, ran from a distance calling his daddy, Gao Mingyue, who was in uniform and handsome, followed behind him.

Wang Shouliang shook his fishing rod and caught an Eastern star weighing more than three kilograms. He also chuckled and said, "You're lucky, you can have an extra meal."

When the guard came to collect the fish, he also put down his fishing rod, reached out to pick up his eldest son from Plan A, and said to Gao Mingyue, "When the little guy is making a fuss, you don't need to be so close, so as not to tire you. ”

Gao Mingyue smiled sweetly, "How come? The young master is so lively and cute. It's a pleasure to take care of him."

In the past two years, one of the biggest things that has happened to the entire Sihai Group is that the total number of immigrants in the four provinces of Canada has exceeded 25 million, and a total of 25 million Chinese have poured in, which is like a groundbreaking for the entire four provinces. Big event, big power.

At this stage, there are more than 5 million acres of farmland cultivated in the four provinces.

The soil there is not fertile enough, but Nauru's huge guano business can still stimulate farmland grain production to continue to rise.

Although it is still unable to achieve self-supply of staple agricultural products, the large farms in the northern and southern provinces can also provide massive amounts of food. Even if it does not rely on food from North America, Vietnam, Star, Malaysia and Thailand, it can not worry about internal famine.

Before this, many people had long believed that Shopkeeper Wang was...

The core members of the earliest Pearl River T-cars, Liberty Trucks, and Xijiang Trucks were almost all engineers recruited from North America by Wang Shouliang.

For example, in the straight series, Yin Lun and Europe and the United States gave money to the guys, in the southwest one, France promoted the development, and in the northeast, Lao Zhang and the Japanese were vigorously supporting him.

Of course, some things have progressed as scheduled in the past two years.

Oil resources that are half sold and half given away...

Before Datou took over, there were more than 7 people in the six towns of Beiyang. In the post-Datou era, whether it was Zhili, Feng, etc., each had to people at its peak. This is why the great powers lend you money to support your development, and It was developed through exploitation within the territory.

In order to cause chaos in China, North America created trouble for Wang Shouliang and took revenge.

To put it bluntly, none of the world's established powers wants to see a unified and powerful China. They hope that the chaos here will be as chaotic as possible.

Of course, this is closely related to the fact that Yalun and North America acted as troublemakers and lent money to Datou many times in two years, allowing Datou to continue to expand its armaments and re-expand the regular number of Beiyang troops to about 90,000.

In this dimension, when Wang Shouliang was holding a big name and the hegemony in the Western Pacific was becoming more and more powerful, North America had long held a grudge because of the Silk Stocking War in 1907, when several ships were accidentally bombed by the Four Seas Fleet in the Hawaiian Islands.

In the early years of the Republic of China, the warlords fought in chaos, and the land of China was in disarray. The people were in dire straits and suffered from the war. The European and American powers themselves were extremely powerful.

And others...such as the belated discovery of North America that confirmed the talents of aviation founders and leaders such as the Wright brothers and Curtiss.

No matter what the relationship was like before, when the Four Seas Escort Bureau became a strong rival in the Pacific and North America, there was a series of poaching and chicken stealing.

One thing may be a misunderstanding. Every time I do this, I turn my head unknowingly and discover to my surprise that the heavy industry field of Sihai Escort Bureau is almost entirely tapping the strength potential of North America.

Ten days ago, Dai Qing was declared dead, and the Republic of China inherited everything legally and peacefully. Datou became the ostensible commander, and Jin Quan followed Wang Shouliang's instructions to take over the position of prime minister.

That's really spending a lot of money to support the big ones. For example, the Springfield rifles in full line are sent directly, and the bullets are half sold and half given. Others are half sold and half given, including a batch of Indian motorcycles, cars, and trucks.

Now that Yin Lun and North America are giving a lot of money, there has been massive desertion. Beiyang, which has less than 9 people, has expanded to in two or three years... It is not difficult.

Including the development of motorcycles rolled up by the Harley brothers.

After many requests for permission, he resolutely refused, allowing Da Tou to take advantage.

There are also oil trade frictions. International crude oil has been reduced from US$16 per barrel to US$7 to US$8 per barrel under pressure from the Sumatra oil fields and many established powers. North America has suffered huge wealth losses. This is Wang Shouliang’s fault. pot.

But they had no iron-blooded veterans at the time and did not dare to fight with the Sihai Fleet.

If Wang Shouliang crushes Datou with a sweeping force from the beginning, it will definitely not be North America's turn to support Datou's rise and strengthening.

But because of some special reasons.

North America spent a lot of money to support it, and Yin Lun also began to support it.

Only then did the enhanced version of Big Head appear after the egg was cleared.

Even so, with the current strength of the Sihai Escort Bureau, it can easily defeat the core team of Datou in blitz mode.

Two or three years have passed, both the Pigeon fighter jet and the Junkers F-13 passenger transport aircraft have further developed.

There are more than 20 aircraft of various types in total. A surprise attack is as efficient as going home after a busy day, drinking some wine, and relaxing for a while.

So even if Datou took advantage, as in the original trajectory, he was still sober. In today's Beiyang, Datou and his former confidant, the traitor Zaifu Jin Quan, all spoke softly and harmoniously.

I didn't dare to speak loudly.

Now it is just superficially glamorous. It looks like there are more than 90,000 people. Logistics are restricted by North America. It is not the same as the self-production and self-supply of the Sihai Escort Agency.

When Yalun and North America did these things, Wang Shouliang was certainly not unresponsive. For example, he sent hundreds of thousands of Japanese young men to California, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other places! !
He was also the one who survived the Battle of the Ghost Bear, and the one who survived after competing for territory with King Lu Gambling in Tokyo's Yan Lun Concession time and time again.

Hundreds of thousands of Japanese are just young and strong, and they are just a matter of sending out a fleet of freighters and passenger ships to travel dozens of times in the great immigration trend of the four provinces of Canada, but everyone understands...

In an era when the mainland was basically a semi-colony, the Japanese didn't even dare to go to California. It was impossible for the North American ghosts to support them. Only with the support of Wang Shouliang's Sihai Escort Bureau could they reach Xinjinshan! !

There was even Yin Lun, who lent a lot of money to Datou, and also supported the Sihai Escort Agency, supporting him in sending hundreds of thousands of Japanese young men to California in North America...

It can only be said that Ying Lun is a shit stirrer, he is extraordinary and well deserved.

On the other hand, the cooperation between Wang Shouliang and William is also good.

Various cars and trucks, including fighter jets and passenger aircraft technology, were traded, but he also successfully obtained a submarine fleet from William's hands all over the world, as well as purchased dreadnought ship manufacturing technology.

The first Chinese-built dreadnought, which has been in production for a year, is almost finished.

There is no rush to develop submarines, as long as William delivers them.

Hanscat itself has airship technology that is ahead of Europa. It was the heaviest weapon for high-altitude bombing in the early days of World War I. If you add in the most advanced fighters and passenger planes...

It’s already 1912, and World War I is really not far away. If Yalun and Beimei cause trouble to Wang Shouliang, the consequences they will suffer are actually not that bad.

Now Wang Shouliang has also bought the provinces of Papua and West Papua from the Dutch as he wished. This is the land of six provinces in Southeast Asia.

It’s just that the four provinces of Canada have a population of just over 2500 million. They are in the midst of large-scale construction and land reclamation. The immigration plan for West Pakistan and Papua has only sent to young people to build infrastructure. Bigger news is still brewing.

But this adds up to more than 90 square kilometers of land in the six provinces of Nanyang! !
Eastern Guangdong and Shanghai are still the largest heavy industry bases under the Sihai Group, and their importance... Now, no matter whether they are big heads or European and American ghosts, everyone who meets Sihai must be polite, and the extra-legal jurisdiction of the concession is fast. Gone.

Except for those ghost guys who stand at the top of each concession, who may have some respect for Wang Shouliang, ordinary ghost guys who want to bully the Chinese have already fallen into the category of arresting them when they commit crimes and killing them when they deserve it.

This is also one of the main reasons for the increasingly serious conflicts between him and Yalun, France and others.

It has been brewing since the Great Smoking Smoking Ban in 1910.

The ban on smoking by the great powers is nothing more than a pretense, giving the image of the West a coat of civilization and elegance. Otherwise, how could the original trajectory have been dominated by Sanxin Company for several eras? Where are the warlords of the Republic of China planting opium fields everywhere?
But no one expected that Wang Shouliang's Sihai Group would be so ruthless. No matter who the rich opium businessman was, if he said he wanted to kill the whole family, he would kill your whole family.

When Wang Shouliang took a bottle of cold water from a guard and started drinking it, Gao Mingyue reported, "By the way, Mr. Boss, the Governor of Hong Kong Island has sent you several invitations."

"I want to invite you to experience the world's largest industrial pearl, the Titanic's maiden voyage. If the boss is worried, you can drive the Kunlun to accompany you."

Wang Shouliang sprayed Gao Mingyue's face with a mouthful of cold water on the spot...

The next moment he skillfully took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped Gao Mingyue's face, "Sorry, this was such an accident. I almost forgot. The Titanic is almost finished and will be launched."

It was already February 1912, 2. Cao Yun was pregnant with a second child after a few years. After all, Cao Yun was already 22 years old, so it was normal to have a second child.

Bai Xiuzhu is only 20 years old this year. She is still a carefree and happy child, so she has never been in a hurry to have children.

Only when Bai Xiuzhu couldn't bear the weight of her life, would she ask for help from her good sister and personal guard Gao Mingyue.

How could Wang Shouliang withstand such a weak challenge? ! Even a normal person can't stand it.

Titanic, damn! Nimei!

He knew that Yin Lun would not completely break up with him on this matter. A controlled and stable Sihai Group would actually be more in line with Yin Lun's interests in the Far East.

Whether it is the oil fields in Sumatra and Java, or the large-scale development of aluminum mines in Australia, they actually need a stable, stable, or stable production environment. Yan Lun is still accumulating maximum firepower for World War I, including various logistics accumulation .

At this time, everyone is not sure when to start the war and fight each other.

But we all have a hunch that it’s not far away.

If they completely break up with Wang Shouliang in the Far East at this time, William will probably laugh to death, and North America will also laugh to death.

The best Ying Lun's Invincible Fleet and the Sixty-nine Fleet of the Four Seas all died together... Now the three dreadnoughts of the Australian Bauxite Trading Company were delivered to the Four Seas Fleet in 1911 and were designated as Kuafu, Hou Yi Hao and Gonggong Hao.

Together with the Kunlun, Xiwangmu, and Dongwanggong, this is a strength that scares North America.

Once they die together, Hans Cat and North America will take the biggest bargain in the world!

Not to mention on land, shipping is endless, and the four seas can drive Yin Lun from the Japanese, the Chinese Concession to Xingma and other places, and drive them away!
So the invitation from the Governor of Hong Kong should be sincere, just to show off the most dazzling industrial pearl in human history, the Tachnik? !
Wang Shouliang still instinctively sprayed rice.

That stuff is poisonous!

Could this be the fat and warm version of Titanic? ? It sounds a little chubby and fat, and he is not on Wang Shouliang's aesthetic channel.

He couldn't stand the challenge of Gao Mingyue's weakness, Feiwen would definitely not care.

The next moment, Wang Shouliang put away his handkerchief and complained, "There is no Asia on the Titanic's first voyage, so I won't go."

"I hope their first trip goes well."

Gao Mingyue nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it.

Wang Shouliang waved his hand, "Go back to the prince's residence and spread the word to the outside world. We will continue to send young Japanese soldiers to California. Another hundred thousand people will come in 1912."

Although the development is not particularly fast, with China's technical ability to build the first dreadnought ship, even if this first ship may not be up to standard, there is no one that can withstand and be built.

This is still a huge benefit to China Navigation.

From 1906, the First Shipyard could only manufacture warships of less than 4000 tons, and then began to manufacture pre-dreadnought Sihai-class ships in 1907. In just five or six years, even this included the looting of the accumulation of shipbuilding technology since the Japanese Restoration, including various kind of industrial equipment.

Then there is Wang Shouliang who makes big moves from the Genesis plane from time to time.

To be able to achieve this result in five or six years is incredible!
William was a good man, but when the First World War was in full swing, Wang Shouliang's Sihai Fleet still had to incorporate and take over all Hans Cat's archipelago bases in the Pacific.

Beiyang also wants to take back Qindao.

The Japs... Two to three hundred thousand Japs inhabiting California cannot defeat North America.

Gao Mingyue nodded again and followed Wang Shouliang and his son into the Ford T. She was already treated as a back seat.

But on the way home, Wang Shouliang was still thinking, is this version of Titanic going to sit back and watch it happen? Or should we just go and watch the fun, or? ? Bring a video recorder to follow?

He has brought too many fleets, and Yan Lun will definitely not let them go. Besides, it seems that it is too late... It takes time to assemble the fleet, so how can we reach London from the Western Pacific?
There was no way to give him a serious warning in advance if he hit an iceberg and sank, otherwise he would be suspected of being mentally ill.

In 1912, Wang Shouliang was already 32 years old, but he still looked like he was twenty-two-three in appearance. At most, the outside world exclaimed that he took good care of himself, or that his baby face did not look old.

After 11 years of travel, his greatest contribution was to save tens of millions of Chinese from the disasters of famine and war, and to prevent them from dying in those chaotic backgrounds.

They also sent the Japanese to North America for development under coercion and deception.

While the motorcade was moving forward, Wang Shouliang suddenly looked at Gao Mingyue, "Mingyue, what do you think I try to buy the Titanic from Yalun?"

Gao Mingyue blinked, "I heard from the outside that the Titanic cost nearly 200 million pounds, which is about the same as a dreadnought. It is just a passenger ship."
