Master Yuan, start!

Kamchatka is a land far richer than Alaska.

If I could turn this piece of land into a star and embed it on the American flag, wouldn't I become an American hero like Washington and Franklin?

At least, he is a person of Lincoln's level!

Looking at the excited old Hu Fo, Yuan Xiangcheng knew that his heart was moved.

We are not afraid that Americans will not come, but we are afraid that Americans will not be tempted.

The reason why the United States did not occupy colonies on a large scale from the late 19th century to the early 20th century was that, on the one hand, large tracts of domestic territory were in urgent need of development.

On the other hand, all the good overseas land has been occupied by Europeans.

Don’t Americans want to occupy Africa’s Gold Coast and Ivory Coast?

Wouldn’t Americans want to own South Africa’s gold?

The main reason is that these lands have already been taken over by owners, making it difficult for the United States to take action.

On the contrary, Americans were not so polite to the Philippines and Cuba, colonies of the declining old European Spain. They seized them by trickery and plunder through the Spanish-American War and eventually turned them into their own territory.

Therefore, Yuan Shikai did not believe that Americans had no idea about the East Siberia region which was so close to them.

In the original time and space, Japan and Russia had a firm control over this place, making it impossible for the United States to take action.

However, the situation in this time and space is very different. Japan's influence is limited to the four main islands, and the Russians are also severely damaged.

What Yuan Xiangcheng had to do was to lure as many Americans as possible to come.

As for the territory of Kamchatka Peninsula, it is just a blank check.

If we don’t come up with something real, how can Americans be willing to fall for it?

Besides, even in the 21st century, this land, which is about the size of seven northeastern provinces, has a population of only 7.

Apart from some precious metals and fishing and hunting resources, there is really nothing worth mentioning about this land.

Developing this place is as difficult as building a bridge across the Bering Strait, and the investment is incalculable.

If this place could become a bleeding point for the United States, just like Ethiopia was for Italy, Yuan Xiangcheng would be happy to see it.

"No problem, Yuan, I will report the details of this matter to the White House!"

Old Hoover nodded vigorously at Yuan Xiangcheng, then stood up excitedly, wanting to go out and send a telegram immediately.

It was not until then that Old Hoover realized that Little Hoover was following him.

Search group 96*6+7910

I actually forgot the original purpose of this trip!

Old Hoover secretly thought that he had a bad memory, held his forehead, and smiled at Yuan Xiangcheng:

"I forgot to mention, Yuan, I came to the Far East this time on behalf of the World Food Programme. I hope you can expand soybean exports to the United States.

And this is my nephew Clark Hoover, a Stanford graduate.

He was commissioned by the Carnegie Board of Directors to accompany me from New York to discuss with you the issue of increasing China's steel production."

"There's no need to say more about exporting soybeans!"

Yuan Xiangcheng waved his hand and said casually, "Go find the Minister of Commerce. As long as the price is fair, I promise that soybeans will be exported first to our American friends."

"As for this person, it turns out you're a representative from the Carnegie board of directors. Nice to meet you."

Yuan Xiangcheng raised his head slightly and looked around, then slowly extended his right hand to show goodwill to President Hoover in the parallel universe.

At this time, young Hoover had just graduated and was a young man.

He had never seen a leader of a country behave so friendly, even in "backward" China.

Seeing Yuan Xiangcheng extending his hand, Little Hoover also hurriedly and nervously extended his hand.

But the next second, he saw a half-smile on Yuan Xiangcheng's face, which made him a little confused.

"Clark, do you Americans like to shake hands?"

Yuan Xiangcheng looked at the left hand that Little Hoover hastily stretched out and teased him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it was a mistake."

小胡佛红2了脸，赶紧9缩回4自己的左手，0伸出4右手，紧紧3地握住5袁项城递6来的右4手。

"China is a fertile land with vast untapped iron and coal mines. I cherish the experience of cooperating with Carnegie Steel to build a factory in North Korea.

Clark, I trust your expertise.

Regarding the expansion of cooperation with Carnegie Steel, you can discuss it with the Ministry of Industry without worry. We Chinese will never treat our friends unfairly."

Yuan Xiangcheng patted his chest and tried hard to create an image of being loyal and honest.

"Thank you very much, President."

Little Hoover nodded, then picked up his round hat and prepared to turn and leave.

"Oh, right, Clark." Yuan Xiangcheng suddenly asked:

"By the way, do you have a Chinese name?"

"not yet."

"Not yet?" Yuan Xiangcheng thought for a moment.

"How about calling him Hu Hua?" Looking at little Hu Fo, Yuan Xiangcheng said with interest:

"These two characters are similar in pronunciation to your last name, Hoover. Also, Hua means China, implying your connection to China."

"Thank you very much, Mr. President."

Little Hoover looked at his uncle and only agreed after receiving a nod of encouragement.

He bowed slightly to Yuan Xiangcheng and said:

"Then from now on, my Chinese name will be Hu Hua."

Chapter 346: Republic Service Map

The next morning, Yuan Xiangcheng walked out of the bedroom, changed into short-sleeved shorts, and started a morning jog around the Yingtai Island.

Yuan Xiangcheng still cherishes his current body.

Although he did not have the habit of taking supplements like the original owner, he was also more restrained in smoking and drinking.

But Yuan Xiangcheng knew that this was not enough to maintain a good body.

Therefore, unless the military situation was extremely tense, as long as he had time, he would get up early in the morning and run a few kilometers.

Yingtai Xiaoer Island is not big, with an area of ​​3-4 standard football fields. After running 5 laps around it, Lu Yuanxiang Sicheng slowly walked towards Xiangluan Pavilion.

"Chief Instructor, the British are coming."

Seeing Yuan Xiangcheng returning from his morning run, Ming Ye walked up to him and handed him a towel.

"Who is there?"

Yuan Xiangcheng wiped the sweat from his head, put on a short-sleeved shirt, and sat directly on the chair in the pavilion without changing his clothes. He picked up the soy milk on the table, dipped it in fried dough sticks and started eating.

Pay? 860.738045

"It's only Minister Claude MacDonald." Ming Ye reported as he took the wet towel.

He was no longer surprised by such situations.

To outsiders, Yuan Shikai now behaves like a dock worker and does not look like the president of a country at all.

However, in reality, this was just a change made by Yuan Xiangcheng to promote Hanfu.

After the promulgation of the Five Articles of the Republic, in order to popularize Hanfu, he ordered people to develop a set of "Republican Clothes" based on the Ming Dynasty Yisa, aiming to create Hanfu that meets the production and living needs of the new era.

First of all, the Republican dress retains the most important element of Hanfu, the right lapel.

At the same time, the republican dress eliminated its wide sleeves, tightened the cuffs, and added three buttons on them.

The waist is fixed with a cloth or leather belt to distinguish the upper and lower body.

There is a pocket at each end of the lower hem of the yesa, hidden in the pleats.

The Republican suit does not have four pockets on the chest like the historical Zhongshan suit. It is practical, but it affects the aesthetics.

Unlike traditional official robes, it has no pockets on the whole body, which is quite inconvenient.

It can be said that Republican clothing combines the beauty of classical Hanfu with the practicality of modern Western clothing.

However, although the Republican dress is good, it is, after all, a formal dress, not everyone needs it, and it is also relatively expensive.

In comparison, shorts made of coarse linen are undoubtedly more suitable for ordinary people.

In view of this, Yuan Xiangcheng changed his approach to promoting Hanfu. He no longer adopted a one-size-fits-all approach, but instead divided it into two routes: upper and lower levels.

The upper class continued to popularize the Republic of China uniform, while the lower class vigorously promoted "short fighting"

Original Ming Dynasty Hanfu shorts

"Short coat" is a type of Hanfu in the Ming Dynasty, also known as "vertical brown" or "short brown". It is casual clothing worn by common people for the convenience of work.

In other words, work clothes.

It is now the summer half of the year in the northern hemisphere, and Yuan Shikai does not want to run all day in his woolen Republican uniform, which would add unnecessary burden to himself.

Therefore, in order to quickly eliminate the Manchu clothing with factory-style collars and centipede buttons throughout China, Yuan Shikai also chose to wear shorts more often in his daily life.

However, he was wearing a modified half-sleeved shorts, not the authentic Ming Dynasty shorts.

Improved shorts, short sleeves in summer, long sleeves in autumn and winter

In fact, after the founding of the Republic, Yuan Shikai only wore three sets of clothes.

One set is the National Revolutionary Army uniform, one set is the Republican uniform, and one set is a shorts.
