Chapter 21 Returning to China
When I learned that the East company was produced but could not be sold, the five major military industries even regarded East's embarrassment as a joke from the United States, saying that Chinese people are Chinese, and even if they are rich, they are still smart Chinese.
Wang Maoru knew that he rashly entered the European and American arms market and was jointly excluded by European and American arms dealers. They did not make things difficult for Wang Maoru at any stage, and even gave him cheaper products when he purchased raw materials, but he could not sell any of the firearms produced, causing backlogs, in order to drag down the Asian man.
However, the characteristic of the e1 rifle being suitable for desert areas still gave them orders. A mysterious Turkish trading company ordered 10,000 e1 rifles and supporting magazines and bullets from East at one time, with a total price of 800,000 US dollars. A mysterious mid-** valve also spent 800,000 US dollars to order the same rifle and bullets. These two orders surprised the five major US military industries. When did these two orders come? Why did East, a company that was about to be dragged down, suddenly bring back the dead?
After investigation, the buyers of Turkey were actually Turkish underground revolutionary party, which belonged to the ** armed forces. Now the five major military industries also had their arguments. They asked the Turkish ambassador to protest, and the US government immediately announced that the business of East Company and the Turkish buyers was invalid. However, the Americans were still confused about the mysterious Chinese warlords. In fact, this warlord was found to be faked by Wang Maoru, and the purpose was to make the East factory start to start construction and survive. It was just to give the factory workers a reassurance, but they didn't want Turks to buy it. In addition to the Turks, a representative of an Arab chief also ordered three thousand E1 rifles, and the US government approved it, which made East have a real first order business.
In addition to the three thousand e1 styles delivered to the chief of Arabia, the 15,000 e1 styles that have been produced so far are piled up in the warehouse. Wang Maoru had no choice but to return to China for sale with all the arms. The five major military industries wanted to destroy the Chinese market of East, but they had to work overtime for orders from Britain, so they could only give up strangling the Chinese market of East.
Before leaving, Fang Hongxin asked whether the e1 style would still need to be produced. Wang Maoru thought about it and continued production, but it would not expand the scale and could reach 3,000 pieces per month.
As for the machinery manufacturing company under East Company, Wang Maoru ordered its manager Kron C. Schneider to study the installation of iron plates for civil tractors to become armored tractors, or armored combat vehicles. The East Machinery Manufacturing Company originally produced auto parts, and many technicians happened to have talent in this area, and there were not many workers in the machinery company, so they all devoted themselves to the development of armored tractors.
Wang Maoru, who returned to China, has been in the United States for a year.
In 1913, when he went abroad, it was not peaceful. In March, Song Jiaoren was assassinated, and Sun Yat-sen decided to overthrow Yuan and launch an unpopular second revolution. In April, after Yuan Shikai signed a loan agreement with the banks of the five countries, the army was ready. In May, the two sides continued to have armed conflicts. In June, because Yuan Shikai's five countries' loan aftermath was deprived of power and humiliated the country, Beijing students launched a school tide, Zhao Bingjun ordered the arrest, Yuan Shikai ordered the Ministry of Education to rectify the academic style of the Ministry of Education, some teachers and students
His life was expelled. In July, Sun Yat-sen's armed Northern Expedition troops had just been carried out and suffered a tragic failure. At this time, all walks of life across the country unanimously opposed the revolutionary party's act of undermining China's peace. In August, Sun Yat-sen and others fled to Japan for asylum because of their failure to fight against Yuan. In September, the fight against Yuan was successively suppressed. In October, Yuan Shikai forced the parliament and was elected as the president of the Republic of China, which was recognized by the world's great powers. In November, Yuan Shikai ordered the ban on the Nationalist Party and the Kuomintang membership was disqualified.
Just at this time, Wang Maoru was preparing to return to China, and returned to China where he had left for a year. At this time, Tang Baoqi had already graduated from girls' school. The two had written letters for more than a year, and they had already been as sweet as a farewell to them. They had just used intimate names to replace them. But they hadn't seen each other for a year. Wang Maoru felt that he didn't know how to see her rashly when he went back. She had to wait for her for so long for a year.
In June, Dr. Gu Weijun, who Wang Maoru met at the Tang family, had already married Tang Shaoyi's fourth daughter Tang Baoyue. The two held a Western-style wedding in Shanghai. The younger sister Tang Baoqi also became a bridesmaid. When catching hydrangea, they also caught hydrangeas. Everyone teased that they might as well get married this year.
Tang Baoqi returned to Beijing, and the students of the normal school also marched and striking with other students, opposing Yuan Shikai's signing of the loan treaty of the five countries. Because she was lively and cheerful and popular in the school, she was also one of the initiators of the female teacher. Later, Yuan Shikai ordered the rectification of the academic style, and several students who organized the striking of the march were driven out of the school. Tang Baoqi was the youngest daughter of Yuan Shikai's old friend Tang Shaoyi, and her brother-in-law Gu Weijun is now negotiating with the British government on the issue of ** on behalf of the Chinese government.
Therefore, Tang Baoqi was only punished and was sent directly to Gu Weijun's mansion without even being in a custody. Tang Baoqi was so angry that she said she wanted to go to the United States and no longer went to college in China. She was thinking about going to the United States to find Wang Maoru in the Tang Mansion in Tianjin. It happened that Wang Maoru's letter came at this time, saying that she would return to China soon. Tang Baoqi was happy. Tang Shaoyi saw the change in Tang Baoqi's attitude, and he knew that his daughter was given a letter from Wang Maoru. Tang Shaoyi felt a little fond of Wang Maoru, so he tacitly agreed to her.
However, since Tang Baoqi was arrested by the police, Tang Shaoyi ordered her to read "Female Temperor" at home honestly and other three-compliance and four virtues books at home. She was so angry that she could only read and write letters every day to relieve her sorrow. In addition, her father was preparing to remarry, Tang Baoqi took no hesitation to help her stepmother, and even communicated with Wang Maoru to relieve her worries. The communication between her letters made her and Wang Maoru open their hearts and their relationship quickly heated up.
There are two routes to return to China from San Francisco. One is to go from the east coast of the United States to Europe, through the Cape of Good Hope in Africa to India, cross the Strait of Malacca to Hong Kong, and then north to Qingdao. This route takes two months to return to China, but it is the most stable one. The other is to arrive in Hawaii from San Francisco, then to Nagasaki, Japan, and then to Dagu, Tianjin, China. Wang Maoru chose the shortest Japanese route, but when he returned to China, it was already the winter of 1913. The Dagu Port in Tianjin was frozen, and all cruise ships needed to stop at two harbors in Dalian or Qingdao. Wang Maoru took his assistant Zhao Jiacheng to get off the boat in Qingdao, and locked and followed him without leaving.
Qingdao is now rented by Germany and is planned to be neatly and cleanly by Germany. Although beggars are seen from time to time on the streets, no one is urinating or spitting everywhere. Chinese policemen wearing German police uniforms patroll the streets from time to time, which also makes Qingdao's public security the best in China at present.
"Qingdao, Qingdao!" Wang Maoru shouted to the sea and said, "Our Qingdao!" The people around him looked at him in surprise, which reminded Wang Maoru that Qingdao at this time was still the German Qingdao. Wang Maoru was very angry when he thought that this Qingdao would be occupied by the Japanese in the future. Qingdao, our China Qingdao, has been transferred from one colonial country to another colonial country, but he cannot help the country. It is really humiliating. If you become a warlord and an official, you must regain Qingdao and take Qingdao, the eastern unfreezing port in your arms.
