Chapter 367 The Franco-Prussian War!
Later, Yung Wing, Huang Kuan and Huang Sheng recalled that they were so excited at the New York City Government that they kowtowed and cried, and they were even unable to calm down for a long time. This is mainly because they really felt that His Majesty the Emperor in front of them was too broad-minded!
It really embraces all rivers and can accommodate the world! For the sake of our Chinese nation, we not only say that we have full support, but we don’t even ask for any reward. We can go back to the Qing Dynasty, but we can also come to the New Tang Dynasty. This is simply...
Who can not be excited when he meets such an emperor? Who will not repay him if he fights to the death?
But, from Li Mengyang's perspective, this matter is really normal and no big deal.
Let’s talk about the problem of Chinese studying abroad. Of course, it is to learn these advanced Western technologies. But after learning, as long as we Chinese learn this knowledge, then no matter where we go back, the Qing Dynasty or the New Tang Dynasty, it is the same, and it is beneficial to Li Mengyang!
Needless to say, going back to the New Tang Dynasty, but going back to the Qing Dynasty would be interesting, because these individuals, although they were all sent by the Qing Dynasty to study, these individuals would be gravediggers of the Qing Dynasty!
The reason for saying this is that it is too simple for Li Mengyang. Just look at history and you will know that many overseas scholars have contributed their strength to overthrow the Qing Dynasty after they come back. Even if he himself may feel that he has not done such a traitor, that is, this person may have been devoted to the Qing Dynasty. However, as long as this person plays a little role in the development of China, this person is actually overthrowing the Qing Dynasty!
From a profound perspective, the Qing Dynasty system is no longer suitable for the development of productivity. The reason why the Qing Dynasty still exists and is still alive is entirely because they have been hindering the progress of this society. As long as the society advances, the Qing Dynasty will be ruined... This is from a sociological perspective.
But one thing to note is that the rulers of the Qing Dynasty were not stupid, they were all smart. It was as if the upper rulers were now supporting the issue of sending overseas students, really!
It is because they themselves know that if they continue like this, then the Qing Dynasty will have to go to perish!
After all, no matter what the Qing Dynasty did, they would eventually perish, but they didn't realize this yet. And they were digging holes for themselves with their own hands!
As long as you know this thing, which is something that time travelers like Li Mengyang can easily understand, then of course, they will be dedicated to helping international students like Yung Wing... Note that this is studying abroad, not selling piglets, which is a big difference, although it looks like reselling people... Li Mengyang of course has to support such people.
Li Mengyang now has a strong power in his hands, but he knows very well. This power is not enough to make him return to his motherland to make trouble. Moreover, the current American empire suddenly expands, and if he doesn't make a good deal, he will fall apart. This is not a joke.
And, before Samuel DuPont and others drove the San Francisco to New York Harbor, weren’t there any British guys?
This is what European powers need to interfere!
Li Mengyang would never dare to underestimate the European powers at this time. Of course, he would not be able to attract influence on them, but he should see the strength of the European powers. The economic and technological level of the United States is actually quite different from that of Europe. The current scientific theory is still the top in Europe. Although there are many new things in the United States.
So, despite the super warships like the Saint Francisco and the world today, Li Mengyang would not be so stupid as to take the initiative to exchange fire with European powers... In fact, this super warship also has some problems, such as most of the work in that turret is actually done manually...
The best way to deal with the old European powers is now. That is strategic defense.
Don't interfere in my America, let's just have Monroeism. Alas, it's great. Monroe guys have said something for themselves...
Besides, the San Francisco was really created by the American Empire. Li Mengyang has been living a tight life because of this ship. Although he is not so arrogant and extravagant by nature, he even built a slightly better palace for himself. Someone asked him to veto him. Li Mengyang had vetoed it in one sentence.
But, when it comes to Europe, something big happened here!
On July 14, 1869, Napoleon III declared war on Prussia!
If you declare war, then fight. France is so powerful. It has always won foreign wars except Mexico that time.
But before the war started, several marshals were persuading Napoleon III, saying that we should endure it this time and not fight this war. They even said that some officials talked about this matter in Paris newspapers.
Why did it happen suddenly?
In fact, it is very simple. France was so hurt before. Because the international aluminum price fell sharply, aluminum has now fallen to a price similar to silver. In this process, France lost a lot of gold. At the beginning, they really went long and acquired a lot of acquisitions, but later they really couldn't hold on anymore. Stop the loss.
This time I owe a lot of debts. Of course, this matter is still a manifestation in the international market. After all, France's position as a strong country is still there and its sovereign credit is still very strong. In other words, the debt has not yet come to default, and there is still a chance to save it.
But now, Napoleon III is going to fight, so in this war, France's finances will definitely have bigger problems, and this debt problem will definitely break out.
And although it has not been revealed now, the impact has already come out, that is, the currency in France is falling and prices are soaring. So if all kinds of military supplies are in place, there will be various problems. So, who, Bazan, Conrobel, and Patrice McMahon, such an old marshal came out to persuade him, your emperor cannot fight this battle!
But, useless!
It was not that Napoleon III did not know about these things. Someone must have reported them to him, but he was thinking about something else.
France is now a defender of the natural European Catholicism, or it should be!
But what are those guys in Prussia? How could they make such a picture? This is not only an insult, but also a kind of naked provocation!
Really, many times, excluding Jews is the norm in Europe, and it is because of excluding them that Jews are allowed to engage in finance.
The financial industry, that is, lending and lending at usury, is something God hates. It is not allowed to do this in the Catholic doctrine. When the Jews came to Europe, they did not allow them to do all the work in Europe, and then in the end there was only one left. lending at usury... As for shooting themselves in the foot, Europeans often do such things.
Then fight!
Napoleon III personally led the army!
result……
A big loss and a loss! (To be continued.)
