The first thousand one hundred and sixty-four chapters rob Germany
Governor Isaacs did not care about the Indian rebellion because the Indians' combat power was too low. Twenty British soldiers could chase two hundred Indian rebels to fight. However, the endless attacks on Indian police also made Isaacs anxious. The conflicts buried in India for many years finally broke out when Isaacs drew soldiers to take revenge on China.
At this moment, the British government's attention had not yet seen the East, because two major events had happened around them, which were of far-reaching significance to Europe.
One thing is that a civil war between Catholics and Christians occurred in Northern Ireland, and the other thing is that France and Belgium jointly sent troops to occupy the Ruhr area in the ruins, giving Germany a fatal blow, forcing a national rejuvenation movement to take place in Germany.
From the Easter Uprising in Ireland in 1916, until the three-year Irish Independence War from 1919 to 1921, the Irish Republican Army and the British Army fought several times. At the same time, strong anti-British sentiment broke out in Ireland. The Irish refused to serve the British. After the British army entered Ireland, the British army was "solid and cleared the country", which led to the British army repeatedly hitting walls in Ireland. At the same time, the huge Irish immigrants in the United States also gave Irish independence great support, resulting in the British army being unable to be too presumptuous in Ireland.
The British sent two police teams composed of veterans in World War I, totaling more than 7,000 people, but this warlike force was not quiet in Ireland, but more Irish people joined the Irish Republic Army due to poor military discipline, and the British lost face. In 1921, Britain and the Republic of Ireland signed an armistice agreement. Britain recognized the Republic of Ireland, but in order to retaliate against the Irish people. With the support of the British, Southern Ireland divided Southern Ireland and Northern Ireland, which belonged to the British and Southern Ireland belonged to the Irish people. However, Northern Ireland was not quiet. Christians and Catholics in the region created two factions respectively, so the Northern Ireland Civil War broke out again. As a Catholic country, the Republic of Ireland naturally supported the Catholic faction of Northern Ireland, while Britain supported Christian Protestantism, so the Northern Ireland Civil War broke out again.
As for France and Belgium, the Ruhr area of Germany was because Germany was unable to repay the Treaty of Versailles. France and Belgium were very dissatisfied and sent troops to occupy the Ruhr area, the most developed industrial base in Germany. According to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany did not allow troops to have an army, so Germany was like a little girl who was unable to resist, watching the Ruhr area being rotated by Belgium and France...
Why did the British pay attention? Because at this time, Britain became the European justices and police. They even prepared for the army and the Royal Navy. Once Germany resisted, the UK immediately marched towards Germany. However, the Germans did not resist. The German William Kuno government announced that Germany would carry out a "non-violent non-cooperation" campaign. At the same time, because the largest industrial area was occupied, Germany's economy completely collapsed, and the German mark became less valuable than toilet paper.
This incident also reached China's ears. Wang Maoru always paid attention to the situation in Europe. When the Ruhr area of Germany was occupied, Wang Maoru quickly sent a Chinese delegation composed of Vice President Bi Guifang and Deputy Director of Industry and Commerce Jing Xueling to visit Europe. The main targets were France, Belgium and Germany. The purpose of going to France and Belgium was to buy equipment from them in the Ruhr area. Going to Germany was to recruit mature German technical workers to work in China. At this time, German workers could almost say that they could only have enough food for their whole family. Without paying wages, they would go to anywhere in the world.
Taking advantage of the situation, China is taking advantage of the situation.
Do you take advantage of Germany to rob? Of course, there is no permanent friendship in this world, only eternal interests. No matter how good the Germans are, they are not their own people. Of course, Wang Maoru will rob Germany. In fact, in this era, which country in this world is not robbed Germany? It’s just that China robbed the Germans’ technology and technology, and it also helped them solve the employment problem. Why not do it?
It's like a Spring Festival Gala of one year. After Zhao Da fooled and sold it to Fan Wei, Fan Wei turned around and said "Thank you". As expected, when Wang Maoru decided to send a delegation to Europe to visit Germany and recruit German workers, German Ambassador to China, Laurenson, immediately ran to the Presidential Office to represent Germany and express his gratitude to China...
But while expressing his gratitude, Laurenson also said one thing, that is, he has received high praise from the German government and is preparing to transfer back to Germany to serve as the leader of the industrial department. Laurenson looked helpless, because after the occupation of the Ruhr area, the so-called German industrial department became a paper-shaped shelf, so how could there be any industry?
Wang Maoru comforted: "I believe that Germany will be reborn from the phoenix and be reborn from the ashes."
Laurenson was startled and said, "Germany can't stand the fire anymore. Germany is now only dilapidated houses. If it encounters a fire again, Germany will be finished..."
Wang Maoru laughed and quickly explained the allusion of the rebirth of the phoenix Nirvana, and Laurenson breathed a sigh of relief. However, Wang Maoru actually wanted to ask about Laurenson's daughter Hefanie, but they were not here to talk about private matters, so he had to give up. It seems that Hefanie can't come back in Germany, and she doesn't know how her homosexual fiancé got along with her. Of course, Wang Maoru just thought about it. Since losing Zhiya, Wang Maoru paid special attention and cherished the people around him.
After seeing off Ambassador Laurenson, Secretary-General Zhang Kui'an reminded Wang Maoru that it was almost the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and a meeting of the 36th family was about to be held.
This 36th-generation family meeting was held for the first time, and it was also the beginning of the oligarchs' control of China. However, because the Huang family in Java was afraid of being flirted with the Dutch and wanted to win over the two sides, it led to the group of people led by Wang Maoru being angry at him. So before the New Year, the Huang family in Java was replaced by the Confucius family in Shanxi in China. The head of the Confucius family in Shanxi was Kong Xiangxi. Kong Xiangxi was the first to support the Democratic Party, which also led to the Kong family not being accepted at the beginning. However, with the internal and external connection between the Huang family in Java, Wang Maoru was strongly dissatisfied and removed from the list.
On the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, the heads of the thirty-six families held a meeting in the imperial palace in Beijing without any entourage. The deposed emperor Puyi and the guards in the palace received a site rental fee of 100,000 silver dollars, and rented it for three days. At first, the princes said that they would rather die than make a loss of the ancestors and ancestral temples. However, Zhang Zuolin then asked to drive Puyi away from the palace, which scared the princes so much that they did not dare to say anything. Zhang Zuolin rushed back to Beijing because of the meeting of the thirty-sixth family. His tough military temperament was so scared that the nobles of the previous dynasty were very frightened.
Of course, everyone was very concerned about the throne. Except for Wang Maoru, many others couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow. Wang Maoru didn't care. After all, the imperial system has been in a thousand years, how could people adapt to the days without an emperor overnight? Of course, everyone did not arrogantly hold meetings in the Palace of Supreme Harmony, Baohe, Qianqing Palace and other places in the Forbidden City, but held them in the Palace of Yinghua. Even so, these people who were originally just people felt the royal aura.
The thirty-six people are Wang Maoru of Hulunbuir, Heilongjiang, Zhang Zuolin of Hulunbuir, Liaoning, Qiao Yingnian of Shanxi, Cao Kun of Shanxi, Feng Jiayu of Zhili, Pu Ji of Zhili, Zhao Jiacheng of Tianjin, Qiu Kaitang of Jilin, Qiu Kaitang of Jilin, Ma Xiangfu of Henan, Zhang Jian of Jiangsu, Songhu Rongguonian of Songhu Huang Jinrong of Songhu Rehe Gai Tianjiu, Kong Xiangxi, Kong Xiangxi, Kong Fanhao of Shandong, Mengqingtang of Shandong, Li Jingfang of Anhui, Duan Qirui of Anhui, Tang Shaoyi of Guangdong, Huang Wentian of Guangdong, Wu Shaozeng of Guangdong, Lin Chengzu of Nanyang, Liu Xiang of Sichuan, Liu Wencai of Sichuan, Zeng Guangjun of Hunan, Lu Yuguang of Guangxi, Chen Zukang of Jiangxi, Xiong Naiwen of Jiangxi, Xie Jingtang of Sichuan, Wang Jialie of Guizhou, Long Yingtian of Yunnan, Fang Zilin of Zhejiang, Ye Weiyong of Zhejiang, Lin Chengzhi of Fujian, and Huang Gui of Hubei.
Wang Maoru ordered Uraji to arrange the Yinghua Hall on a round table, two layers inside and outside, twelve tables and chairs on the inner layer, and twenty-four tables and chairs on the outer layer. He placed a stove around for heating, and only incandescent lamps were used to illuminate the surroundings. The guards were replaced with Wang Maoru's young guards, and the measures were done very well.
When everyone came here, they looked at the magnificent Yinghua Hall, but they were a little afraid to speak.
Wang Maoru signaled to Pu Ji to speak, and Pu Ji stood up and smiled, "Everyone, you are all tycoons in China or famous families in various places, especially the two Confucius and Mencius families in Shandong. They have been passed down for thousands of years. This time, Mr. Xiusheng, our President, summoned you here. Everyone knows the purpose. You all, our thirty-six families control 60% of the wealth of the Chinese nation, so our thirty-six families can form an alliance. No matter who will control the government in the future, you must agree with the interests of our thirty-six alliances. You all, you all understand what this move means, yes, it is to allow our family to be passed down from generation to generation, let us always have the right to speak, and cultivate the Chinese family family - just like the Kong family and the Meng family."
Wang Maoru said at this time: "I personally admire someone very much, that is, Zeng Wenzheng, the ancestor of the Zeng family. His family precepts are actually a moral model for being a person, doing things and doing politics."
Zeng Guangjun, the head of the Zeng family in Hunan, is the only one remaining among the three sons of Zeng Guofan. When he heard Wang Maoru praise his father, he immediately said gratefully: "The President praised him."
Wang Maoru shook his head and said, "Today is the first meeting of the 36th family, not a government meeting, so I am not the president. I am just the head of the Wang family, Wang Maoru, whose courtesy name is Xiusheng. You can call me Mr. Xiusheng." He smiled and said, "Today I propose that the 36th family alliance form an alliance to form the cornerstone of our Chinese aristocratic clan. I know that you have considered and hesitated, but when you come here today, it means that you agree with the 36th family alliance. If you agree to establish this alliance, please raise your hand." After saying that, he raised his hand and looked at everyone.
