New Warlords 1909

Therefore, although Hua Fei can take advantage of the strength of the National Defense Forces to take the opportunity to launch a unification war, or at least occupy most of the southern provincial capitals.But in doing so, a full-blown civil war is absolutely inevitable.Not only will it offend the revolutionaries in an all-round way, but the Beiyang military will also take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.However, what Hua Fei is most worried about is not that the domestic civil war consumes the strength of the National Defense Forces. There are bound to be advantages and disadvantages of unification as soon as possible. In the long run, the benefits will eventually outweigh the disadvantages.The reason why Hua Fei refrained from speaking out was that apart from the consideration of taking advantage of the great strategic opportunity period of World War I to develop the economy at full speed, the most important factor was the Japanese factor.

Although the army strength of the southern revolutionaries is not strong, the warlords in Guangdong, Guangxi, Xiangchuan and other provinces combined have hundreds of thousands of troops.And revolutionaries are demagogues, which is always more than enough to create a little confusion for you.Although Hua Fei can finally use an iron fist to restrict it, but the control area is too large, and it is always difficult to achieve everything.

With the big wedding approaching, many political arrangements that are impossible for ordinary people to know are going on quietly.And those foreign hot money are also quickly preparing to deal a fatal blow to the current economy of the autonomous region before Hua Fei's wedding.

Haha~ 2 is updated, I don’t ask for any tickets~ Someone asked if there are more updates during the day?I think, there should be, let's see if the brothers vote for the [-]-word reminder vote. In the past, I was always greedy, and I never took it once!

228 Finally Married

With the great increase of Hua Fei's strength and power, his actions will also have a more profound historical trend. In March 918, the newly-born Soviet Russian regime signed the Brest-Litovsk Treaty with Germany, announcing its formal withdrawal from the war with Germany, compensating Germany for as much as 3 billion marks, and ceding as much as 60 million square kilometers soil of.Not only caused an uproar in Russia, but also Britain, France, the United States and other countries were extremely shocked.

Nicholas II, who lived in Shanghai, used the channels of the news media to publicly publish a letter to the Russian people, denouncing the Soviet Russian regime for betraying national interests, harming the rights and interests of the Russian state and citizens in exchange for the stability of the regime, and accusing the newborn The Soviet Russian regime is a traitor who betrayed Russia, calling on all forces in Russia to boycott Soviet Russia and the Brest-Litovsk Treaty.

At the same time, Nicholas II not only began to actively communicate with Hua Fei, but also extensively and openly contacted the consulates and envoys of various countries in China to obtain support from various countries for his return to Russia and restoration.At the same time, with the help of Hua Fei, Nicholas II made a lot of contact with the domestic royalists and political parties that opposed the Bolsheviks, expressed support for the election of the Constituent Assembly of various political parties, and opposed the violent revolution of the Bolsheviks.

Britain, France, the United States and other countries quickly responded, and all countries had extensive contacts with Nicholas II. Britain, France and other countries even passed the "interference in the Russian Eastern Union" at the joint meeting of the prime ministers and foreign ministers of the Allied countries held in London. resolution.Soon, British, French, American and other military forces landed in Murmansk successively. From the 5th, Japanese, British, American and other military teams landed in Vladivostok.In addition, the Allied Forces also invaded Central Asia and South Caucasus. At the end of May, the Czechoslovak Legion, composed of World War I prisoners, fired the first shot of the civil war under the planning of the Allied Powers.The army quickly expanded from 5 people to more than 2 people, and supported the opposition forces in various parts of the east, and established a group of anti-Soviet Russian governments and armed forces.

At the same time, the old Russian generals Krasnov, Alekseev, Denikin and others under the support of Germany also assembled armed forces in southern Russia, waiting for the opportunity to march towards the Don River, the Kuban, and the Caucasus.By the summer of 918, armed interventionists from various countries and Russia’s domestic armed forces successively occupied large areas such as Ukraine, a part of the Volga River Basin, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Urals, Siberia, and the Far East, almost equivalent to three-quarters of Russia’s landmass. Several fronts in the east, south, north and Caucasus were formed, stretching for more than 70 kilometers.At this time, there were more than [-] white troops on the whole line, and they were well-equipped and well-trained.

Japan, the United States and other countries are urging Hua Fei to send troops to Soviet Russia while they are fighting, and they are promising a lot of benefits.When the new government of Soviet Russia got Sidney Gula II to come to Shanghai, except for issuing a statement of protest at the beginning, it remained silent afterwards.Later, the Soviet Russian government secretly sent envoys to contact Huafei's autonomous region, claiming that as long as Huafei expelled Nicholas II, he would not support Russia's civil war. A large area of ​​​​territory, and pledged to withdraw from the Mongolian region, recognizing Mongolia as China's independent province.

This promise from the Soviet Union is not so generous. Not only Hua Fei was stunned, but even the Beijing government sent representatives to discuss with Hua Fei. I hope that Hua Fei will not suddenly issue another statement, send troops to the Soviet Union, and interfere in other people's civil wars. .It can be seen that Soviet Russia definitely sent someone to contact the Beiyang government for such a huge cake, and I believe no one can refuse such an offer.

But Hua Fei, who knows the history, understands that the lack of credit of the Russians has become a tradition since this era.Soviet Russia can use 60 grams and more than 100 million square kilometers of land in exchange for the Soviet-German contract for a war, and also abolished the treaty when Germany was about to lose the war.Historically, Lenin also proposed to return the land occupied by Tsarist Russia to China. Hundreds of years later, many people are still talking about it and doing everything possible to verify it.However, they don't know or don't want to know, all of this is one of the diplomatic models that Soviet Russia is proud of, and it is hailed as a super classic of exchanging space for time. prestige and status.

The game between countries will always depend on their strength.It would be ridiculous to count on a guarantee from Soviet Russia and keep it.

The reason why Hua Fei hesitated was because he knew that the Red Army of Soviet Russia had finally won the civil war in history. If Hua Fei went out to side with the White Army, how much benefit would he gain in the end?It can be said that unless the regime of the existing Soviet Red Army is destroyed, great benefits can be obtained, but doing so is tantamount to historical confrontation, which will not only greatly change the course of history, but success and failure are completely unpredictable up.

But if you stand in the Red Army one.Not to mention the more than 100 million kilometers of land.How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?As two neighboring countries.The Soviet Union grew stronger.For China.Definitely not a good phenomenon.

Because the First World War is not over yet.Britain, France, the United States and other countries are still very limited in sending troops.Nicholas II did not know how to get the news.He even took the initiative to find Hua Fei.He declared that as long as Hua Fei supported him, he would make the country rich.Not only will he return all the land that he signed a treaty with China before.Also put the entire barren land outside the vast land north and east of Xing'an Mountains.All sent to China.

check the map.It is equal to Nicholas II putting up the Yansk Mountains.Aldan River.Chersky mountains.The Kamchatka Peninsula and other large areas of Eastern Siberia were all given to China.This temptation is really great.

In fact, it is not surprising that Nicholas II made such a decision.After all, this is just a blank check.Lenin could cede more than 100 million square kilometers of land.Reparations of 60 billion marks in exchange for Germany's truce.Compared with the vast but worthless land of East Siberia.Nicholas II's courage is not much higher than Lenin's.

Hua Fei was very calm.Not to mention that China is not yet unified.Even unified.Sending troops to Soviet Russia needs to be very cautious.In history, fourteen countries intervened in the Soviet-Russian Civil War.In the end, only Türkiye and Iran benefited greatly.Hua Fei didn't want to steal chickens and lose money.

So Hua Fei used the excuse that he would take care of him when the wedding was imminent.The request of all parties was declined.But Hua Fei said on an informal occasion.About a series of treaties signed between Russia and the Qing Dynasty and occupying a large area of ​​China.Chinese government and Congress.Appropriate opportunities will be selected.Discuss related topics.

While Hua Fei was standing still for the time being, this news made Hua Fei unable to calm down anymore.This news has nothing to do with Russia, but it has something to do with the Middle East, which is famous in later generations,

Inseparable.It turned out that a [-]-ton Chinese-registered cargo ship was sunk by unknown armed forces while passing through Asia, and the life and death of the fifteen crew members on board were unknown.

Hua Fei went up against the crime. Although it was early morning, he still held a joint emergency meeting between the First Office and the National Defense Forces Command.In the early morning of the next day, the Press Office of the First Office notified the above news to all media in various countries, and announced that the National Defense Forces would not sit idly by and cut off the trade and transportation lines to Europe while the sea lines were threatened by the enemy.The National Defense Forces will not sit back and watch hostile countries threaten Chinese ships and Chinese crews so much.

Less than an hour after the release of this news, the spokesperson of the Press Department of the National Defense Forces Command officially announced to the outside world that the National Defense Forces Navy will send two newly built Haitian-class destroyers with a displacement of 0C[-]~: and a A total of four supply transport ships rushed to the sea area where the incident occurred to protect the safety of ocean routes and avoid damage and attacks from hostile countries.In addition, the Wehrmacht Army will also dispatch the Seventh Army with the original army as the main force to the Arabian Peninsula.One is to build a temporary naval base for the fleet to facilitate the navy's military presence in the sea area, and at the same time increase the deterrence of the allied forces on land, such as Turkey, to eliminate all threats in the sea area.The implication is that we are extremely suspicious that the freighter was sunk by an Allied submarine.

In addition to the greater reaction of the Japanese, these announcements of the National Defense Forces have expressed support to varying degrees from other countries.The instability in the Suez Canal and the Gulf of Aden not only affects the transportation of materials in Asia and India, but also affects the British interests here.And Hua Fei, as a member of the Allied Powers, sent troops to the Middle East to combat the threat of German submarines in this sea area, which was something the British could not have dreamed of.At this time, the Middle East was far less eye-catching than later generations. Except for the discovery of oil in Iran a few years ago, the British partly existed in Iran, Iraqman, Yemen and other places.Saudi Arabia and other places where Hua Fei will be stationed are still under the influence of various countries.

Yes, Hua Fei entered the Middle East for oil.If there was no attack on the freighter, Hua Fei would have found other excuses.With the rapid development of various industries in the autonomous region, such as automobiles, motorcycles and other modern machinery powered by internal combustion engines, a large number of modern machinery powered by internal combustion engines, especially tanks, automobiles, airplanes, warships, submarines and other weapons and equipment of the National Defense Forces, widely use fuel oil. Oil wells in Jiangsu and construction in Yangzhou China's petrochemical industry can't meet the demand at all.

Today's autonomy already requires a large amount of imported refined oil and crude oil. The restriction of oil has become an obstacle to the development of the autonomous region.So Hua Fei started to build a crude oil reserve on the one hand, and on the other hand built a new large-scale petrochemical plant in Shanghai.But these are not fundamental measures. Obtaining a large amount of crude oil is the fundamental solution to this problem.Of course, there is more than one oil well in Jiangsu in China, and there are several oil fields that are very famous in later generations as far as Hua Fei knows.But developing those fields is difficult at this time of civil war reluctance.And even if it is possible, Hua Fei is unwilling to develop domestic oil prematurely.Petroleum is a thing, but every penny is less than one penny.Compared with the sky-high oil prices of later generations, today's oil is simply unbelievably cheap.So even if it costs more now, Hua Fei is more willing to import crude oil from abroad. History will eventually prove how far-sighted Hua Fei's decision is!

At this time, Arabia is still in a stage of fragmentation and numerous tribes, among which the nobleman Abdul-Aziz is rapidly rising in the Arab region.Hua Fei is not seeking to colonize the Arabian region, Hua Fei just needs the oil there.

After Nila II came to Shanghai, many domestic commentators speculated that Hua Fei might want to interfere in the Russian civil war.After the Allied Powers officially sent troops to intervene in the Russian Civil War, this kind of speculation was greatly spread and was deeply believed by many people.However, the news that the Seventh Army sent troops to the Middle East confused many people in the country.

The [-]st Army of the National Defense Forces went to Europe, and the [-]th Army went to the Middle East. It is said that Britain, France and other countries are urging Huafei to increase its troops in Europe, and the [-]th Army is preparing for war and may go to Europe at any time.One division of the First Army is still stationed in Chongqing, one division of the former Zhejiang Army of the Sixth Army stays in Daye, and the other temporarily stays in Wuhan. How did Wang Zhanyuan, the governor of Hubei, urge a division of the Sixth Army, which was originally going to Sichuan, to go home early? , the commander of that division always refused because he had not received the order.

What do you think Wang Zhanyuan can do, but the opponent has only two divisions, but behind them are hundreds of thousands of powerful National Defense Forces.

No matter what you say, Wang Zhanyuan, you have torn up with the autonomous region. The other party is also the National Defense Force under the name of the vice president.If Wang Zhanyuan ordered the Hubei army to attack these two divisions, I am afraid that Hua Lengzi would still be wishing for it, and he would just use the opportunity to take Hubei and eliminate the influence of the Zhili warlords in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

Wang Zhanyuan had no choice but to call the headquarters of the National Defense Forces, please withdraw the National Defense Forces in Hubei Province.After several urgings, the National Defense Forces sent a telegram, the commander was busy with the wedding, and all affairs will be discussed after the marriage.

Wang Zhanyuan wondered for a long time, secretly thought, could it be that Commander Hua thinks my gift is too light? ***, this is too dark, right? I gave away a thousand oceans, how much more does he want?However, it is said that in just half a month, Hua Papi's wedding gifts received more than 5000 million Singapore dollars.This number made Wang Zhanyuan's mouth water, it can't be overstated!If marrying a foreign girl is such a windfall, let's try to find someone to marry soon!

Although Wang Zhanyuan was indignant, but the troops of his second division were stationed in his territory, he was always in a panic.Who knew that one night while he was sleeping, a bunch of Wehrmacht soldiers would rush in and take his head?So Wang Zhanyuan gritted his teeth and took out another two thousand oceans and sent someone to Shanghai to 'congratulate' Vice President Hua on his happy wedding!

Two thousand oceans were sent out for about a week, but there was still no reaction, which made Wang Zhanyuan scold his mother in distress.Two thousand oceans, that's 2000 yuan of white silver dollars, throw it in the water, it's a mess, throw it in that hellish place in Shanghai, there is no reply to the call, only a bright red thank you letter is that kind of street You can buy it everywhere on the Internet, cheap paper printed in batches.

Soon one of Wang Zhanyuan's staff suggested that Vice President Hua didn't like gold, silver and good antique calligraphy and paintings, so he might as well collect many precious antique calligraphy and paintings of famous people. Famous cultural relics and historic sites in China!

Wang Zhanyuan thought it was right, but if it wasn't the case, then why did Hua Papi treat Zi

Generally interested?Dare to feel that national historical and cultural inheritance is bullshit, and research museums are the real reality!It seemed that it would be impossible not to bleed. Wang Zhanyuan gritted his teeth and took out a pair of very precious calligraphy and paintings and sent them to Shanghai again.The people sent this time did not return empty-handed, but brought back an invitation card that looked a little pleasing to the eye, inviting Wang Zhanyuan to Shanghai to attend Hua Fei's wedding!

go?Still not going?This is a very serious problem.If you don't go, you might offend the people in the autonomous region in this way. Not only will the previous investment be in vain, but it will still be difficult for the troops of these two divisions to withdraw to the autonomous region.Go, how can I say that the National Defense Forces and their Beiyang Military Departments are in a state of wariness that is at odds with each other. If this Hua Papi takes advantage of the wedding to catch all the senior generals attending the banquet, it will be a disaster!Don't doubt, don't entertain this possibility, you must know that Hua Papi was famous all over the country for being stupefied!

On May 918, 5, shortly after the Seventh Army of the National Defense Army marched to the Middle East, Hua Fei's wedding was grandly held at the most luxurious hotel in Shanghai, the Oriental Holiday Hotel.The entire 2-storey building is almost full of wedding guests.In order to save money, although Hua Fei adopted a Chinese-style wedding ceremony, he did not have a wide banquet, but followed the western buffet model, only some drinks and snacks were available for consumption.Even so, the hotel still cannot accommodate the number of guests. The buffet tables with drinks and snacks have been filled with the large square outside the hotel and several nearby streets, which shows the number of guests who came to attend.For the sake of safety, the soldiers of the entire guard army and the first army were all transferred to the vicinity of the hotel to maintain order and take charge of security tasks.

Although Hua Fei has repeatedly warned against extravagance, exaggeration, and special momentum.However, the self-government decided through a parliamentary vote that on May 5th, the whole country will have a free day off.The so-called free holiday means that all government departments, including government agencies, schools, the army, companies and enterprises controlled by the autonomous region government, etc., all have one day off.Other private businesses recommend a day off, but the government does not mandate it if company executives decide not to.

In fact, there is no need for an order from the self-government. Long before the parliament voted on the bill, many factories had already declared a one-day holiday, and some factories even announced a three-day holiday, because their bosses had to go to the Oriental Holiday Hotel to attend the wedding ceremony of the vice president. !And all the enterprises and factories under Hua Fei's name, at the suggestion of the elders of the Hua family, decided to take a collective holiday for a week and give out a special big red envelope, which is enough for a month's salary of ordinary workers, all of them are the elders of the Hua family And the private pockets of the company's senior managers made the workers in these factories cheered and shouted long live Huasling.

Later, May 5 became the biggest festival after the Spring Festival and the National Day, and was known as the Little National Day.And because I want love on 2, it is called the festival of love by the people, and it has gradually developed into a popular festival popular all over the world. This is a later story.

Let alone the grandeur of the wedding day, just that almost 7C% of the major newspapers in the world published this news on the front page, so we can understand the sensational effect and influence of the event at that time.What also shocked Chinese and foreigners is that the British royal family, the French government, the American government, the German royal family, the Austro-Hungarian royal family, the former Russian royal family Nicholas II, the Italian government, the Spanish royal family, the Portuguese royal family, the Holy See and many more Countries and institutions all over the world have sent representatives to congratulate, which is enough to show Hua Fei's international reputation and popularity.

Haman's two elder brothers were absent from the wedding in the end, which made Haman feel a little depressed, but even at the wedding, the relevant telegrams from the United States were not interrupted, but Haman would show a faint smile when he occasionally read the telegrams in his spare time. .

For the people in the autonomous region, they did not miss this good show.With the efforts of Nikola Tesla, a wireless broadcasting system that can cover the entire autonomous region was preliminarily built before the wedding, and on the day of the wedding, the first comprehensive trial operation began.In addition to the very remote mountain villages, all cities and most small towns newly installed radio loudspeakers to broadcast the grand occasion of the wedding in real time.Not only did people hear the music from the radio broadcast for the first time, but they also shared in the celebration.Many people knew for the first time, what was the name of the emperor of a certain country, and what was the name of the prime minister of a certain country.

Some people are happy and some are sad. This world will never be able to stage a collective comedy.In Shanghai, Nanjing, Beijing, Guangzhou, London, Paris, New York, etc. all over the world, there will be some young women who read the news of Hua Fei's wedding in the newspaper, feeling lost, as if they have lost their souls.And in the Gu family alley in Shanghai, in order to avoid irritating Zhu Ruoyin who was at home, not only did the whole Gu family pretend nothing had happened, Lu Youyun also stayed at the Zhu family to accompany Miss Zhu.The wireless broadcasting near Gu's Lane was also collectively cut off, so as not to irritate Zhu Ruoyin, who was still extremely fragile.

Although during Hua Fei's big wedding, all properties under his name were on holiday for a week.But almost all industrial factories such as Masteel, Wuhu Arsenal, Cement Factory, Pterosaur Aircraft Factory, Zhanlong Aircraft Factory, Jiangnan Military Factory, Shipyard, Copper Smelter Factory, Lightning Automobile Factory, Chemical Factory, Petrochemical Factory, etc. shutdown.Everyone voluntarily took a break, and still worked overtime to produce products. You must know that the market is booming now, and orders are always in short supply.Because of Hualing's big wedding holiday, the factory suffered losses. Not only are everyone reluctant, but also sorry!The factory gave them a huge red envelope equivalent to one month's salary. Who can be dissatisfied?

The hustle and bustle is about to pass. While everyone was still immersed in the joy of Hua Fei's wedding, no one thought that even on the day of the wedding, a silent economic war was raging in the autonomous region.Especially on the day of the big wedding, those suspicious hot money are extremely active.It's a pity that after a speculative war in the autonomous region, a large number of experienced young people have been trained to handle the scene.The incomplete financial system and the old-fashioned exchange system, coupled with a series of temporary policies to limit hot money hotlines, left those speculators with no choice but to linger outside the gate of the autonomous region for a long time, deeply feeling that the autonomous region is just like a hedgehog It seems that there is no place to speak.

: Brother Lengzi finally got married, brothers, don’t worry about the physical problems of the pig’s feet anymore

229 New Life

After marriage, the good news came one after another. /The first issue was first made in the United States. Under the command of Harman’s remote control layout, they mobilized a capital scale of 5-10 yuan to conduct a large-scale speculation on the US stock market and futures market, combining the prices of the entire US stock market and futures market with Related indexes such as turnover increased three to four times.And when it was close to the peak period, it retreated completely, and successfully dispersed and concealed after harvesting a large amount of cash flow.

This is not to say that Hua Fei mobilized 5-10 yuan in cash for Harman. Although Hua Fei has never fully estimated his total assets, it is absolutely impossible for him to spend such a huge amount of cash.The crux of the problem is that Ingrid Harman, as a direct child of the Harriman family, has spent some time in the media industry, and her connections and influence on the media far exceed Hua Fei's imagination.Under her extremely skillful manipulation, with less than 2 yuan in cash, it caused a big disturbance in the US domestic market.His skills are brilliant, his attacks are fierce, and his courage is superhuman, reminiscent of his father's intrepid demeanor when he blocked the Northern Pacific Railway Company.

Ingrid Harman's father, who called himself the Napoleon of the American business community, launched an attack on the powerful Morgan consortium in the United States because of a personal grievance.It once blocked the stock of the Northern Pacific Railway Company and raised the stock of the company from more than $40 to $[-], which became an extremely rare case in the history of stocks, which shocked and caused a great financial panic in the New York stock market.

Although Harman was not as strong as her father, his character clearly inherited some of her father's genes.Perhaps considering other factors, when several consortiums in China quickly withdrew their funds, Harman quickly withdrew from the stock wave she provoked.However, as more American financial speculators joined this new feast one after another, the withdrawal of Harman did not cause too much fluctuation and repetition in this stock wave, and all the sold stocks were snatched up.

This time the New York stock market surged until more than a month after Harman and the others withdrew, a lot of funds returned to the autonomous region through various channels or reinvested in industries across the United States. The stock market lost its main driving force of funds. Some financial speculators only found out , Why do many people still follow up and buy madly, but the stock price has risen weakly?I don't know who was the first to try to sell to cover funds, and several stocks with falsely high prices plummeted, causing the entire stock market to plummet.In the end, the U.S. government came forward, and several major banker consortiums jointly intervened to barely eliminate the panic of the crisis. In addition, the trade in arms and other industries brought about by the ongoing war, so the impact quickly diminished.After a long time, many financial speculators in those days felt baffled when they recalled this incident, and they had no idea what was going on!

Although Hua Fei earned a lot of money, the most important thing was that the coveted hot money was finally withdrawn to the United States.After this incident, although those people are still not sure that this incident was manipulated by Hua Fei, they can understand it without guessing, and it is inseparable from the Chinese Communist in the autonomous region.So far, those Yankees have to acquiesce to the fact that so far, they seem to have no advantage in the autonomous region.Due to the strong industrial production capacity of the autonomous region, the abundant grain reserves, the strictly controlled foreign exchange hot money policy, and the tight market price monitoring system, those financial giants could not achieve much success in a short period of time.The most important thing is that it is too difficult for these money to flow into the autonomous region under the strict monitoring system, so the price of some raw materials can only be raised on the periphery.However, since most factories in the autonomous region implemented contract pricing measures, the price itself was very high due to the impact of World War I, which stimulated the rapid expansion of production capacity of raw material manufacturers in various places. Therefore, it is obviously not appropriate to choose to block the economy of the autonomous region during this period.

In addition, under the pressure of the powerful autonomous region army, no one, whether it is the raw material suppliers in the Beiyang provinces or all over the south, is willing to cut off the supply of the autonomous region because of the price factor and offend Vice President Hua.Doing so will not only lose their credibility as businessmen and ruin their reputation, but also lose all the business in the autonomous region, and also compensate the autonomous region.What?You do not compensate?The court of the autonomous region summoned Tang Jiyao's men, and they all obediently sent representatives to defend in court.A mere businessman, even with the support of officials and warlords, would not dare to act recklessly!
