Volume Four, The Battle of Unification, Chapter 614, The Hundred Years of Caucasian Misfortune

Seeing that everyone was too emotional, especially Zhang Hongyang seemed to be restless, Fang Hongxin also looked ugly. Wang Maoru smiled indifferently and then ordered to pour some tea and snacks on everyone to eat and chat, which relieved his emotions. It was not that Wang Maoru was not angry, but that this was too normal. Chinese people have a good impression of white people and think white people are good, excellent, and advanced. Don’t you know that this is just a cultural invasion carried out by white people. The ancient sages said it well, and their hearts will be different if they are not my race. White people want to destroy all yellow people. Even Japanese people can see this clearly, but many Chinese people can’t see it clearly.

Moreover, foreign powers have joined forces to oppress China for a day or two. Even a hundred years later, Europe has tried every means to oppress the rising China, and even imposed sanctions on China several times and revised anti-dumping laws against China to crack down on China's rise. Especially with France as the best, France is the pioneer of all countries in the world, Germany is the world's largest base camp, and the United States is the leader. The reason why whites try every means to target the rise of yellow people. Looking at the world, only China can lead the rise of yellow people. Therefore, white countries try every means to curb China. After all, the great Chinese nation is leading the world in the past year, only a hundred years behind. As long as white people with brains know that China is the biggest concern in the white world.

Why are white people good to black people? Because black people have no brains, only bodies. Why are white people curb yellow people? Because yellow people have brains. Wang Maoru sighed when he thought of this, he sighed. The rise of China has a long way to go. We cannot be anxious for a moment, nor should we be anxious for success. Fortunately, we are not old now, only thirty-four years old. As long as we live for twenty years and take China on the right path for twenty years, we will die and leave a foundation for happiness for future generations.

After Zang Hao quickly poured tea for everyone, Pan Fu took a sip of tea and smiled bitterly, and continued, "Who made our country weak? Even if my fiscal revenue exceeds 80% of my military investment, it is difficult to become a military power."

Wang Maoru waved his hand and interrupted him, saying, "Wait, 80% of our country's fiscal revenue is now used in military affairs? Military expenses account for such a large proportion?"

Pan Fu said: "Yes, the military expenditure of the military forces of each province also needs to be paid by the central government."

Wang Maoru found it funny that the military expenses of each province were required to be paid by the central government, and the military forces of each province also announced that they would threaten the central government. He asked: "General Pan, what do you have to do with regard to military and military expenses?"

Fu Pan quickly bowed and apologized, saying, "I am just a financial talent, but I don't know anything about the army and I have no objection."

Wang Maoru nodded, knowing in his heart that Pan Fu is not unaware of it. People who have reached this position do not understand the truth, but the same thing as reducing the vassals offends too deeply and too much. He, the acting chief financial officer, dared not do this. So Wang Maoru smiled and changed the subject and asked: "What do you think the Ministry of Finance needs to do business immediately, except for the difficulty of changing the US dollar settlement in France."

Pan Fu said without thinking: "The most urgent thing now is our tariffs. Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, our country's tariffs were controlled by foreigners. They were all placed on the Joint Committee of General Directors of Banks in Shanghai, and then they settled the Boxer Indemnity first. The tariff amount and other consumption expenses will finally return the balance to the Chinese government. However, the Joint Committee of General Directors of Banks in Shanghai is composed of three banks, with three foreign settlements at Bank of China."

Zhang Hongyang said: "Wait, put the money in three banks first and then settle it. So how do you calculate the interest? Is the huge interest in the customs every year called the committee to eat it?"

Pan Fu sighed: "Yes."

Now even Wang Maoru was not calm and said angrily: "Shameless!"

Pan Fu said: "On the one hand, the joint committee of general directors of various banks in Shanghai consumes our huge annual interest, and lends customs taxes to Chinese people or investments, which is a cancer of China."

Wang Maoru sneered: "These will be taken back sooner or later, but not now."

Zhang Hongyang said: "It is better to ask for settlement with China National Bank immediately..." However, I feel that this suggestion is a bit hasty, and it involves all foreign banks, especially Citibank, which has a deep negotiation with Wang Maoru. If it rashly takes it back, China's good situation will definitely face collapse now.

Wang Maoru turned his head and looked at Fang Hongxin who had been silent and asked, "Zicheng, what do you have to say? The future deputy finance minister cannot say a word, right?"

Fang Hongxin then smiled and said, "Let's solve a problem first. First, coordinate the number of staff members and salary of central government staff, and check the problem of empty salary occupation. Second, give the Forbidden City 400 taels of silver equivalent to 5 million oceans of preferential treatment. Third, I calculated before that last year, in the eighth year of the Republic of China, my country's tariffs were only 7.19 million yuan, and this 7.19 million yuan will not be returned until June this year, but it has not been given yet, so it needs to be asked. Fourth, integrate mining resources, recover state-owned assets, and investigate profiteers who have affair with foreigners who have occupied our resources. This is what needs to be done in the next year."

Wang Maoru laughed and lined up his shoulders and said, "Okay, Zicheng, if you have an idea, you can do it, I will support you later. If anyone doesn't accept you, I will lead the troops to destroy him first."

Zhang Kuian arrived in Wuhan, Hubei by airship. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Cao Kun warmly welcomed Zhang Kuian's arrival. Cao Kun admired this young man quite much. People who can establish a career with their perfect tongue naturally have no talent. It is said that popularity is also very good.

But at this time, Zhang Kui'an's arrival was actually a natural thing. We have to talk about it after the beating. Everything is easy to talk about. It is impossible for direct troops to be beaten to death with one stick, and direct troops to be beaten to death with one stick. Since they cannot be beaten to death, let's talk about it carefully.

Zhang Kui'an brought Wang Maoru's conditions because Xu Shichang was elected by the Anfu Group, and the legitimacy of Anfu Congress remains to be discussed. Therefore, it is hard to say whether the parliamentary mercy is legal for the sake of national stability in the future. If you want a republic in the north and south in the future, you must elect the parliamentarians and parliament that both the north and the south trust, and you will inevitably re-elect the president in the future. Wang Maoru's meaning is to hope that Cao Kun can participate in the election and wish him to become the president of the Republic of China. After learning about the conditions, Cao Kun summoned his confidants and told everyone about Wang Maoru's conditions, and said strangely: "What medicine is Wang Xiusheng selling in this gourd?"

Cao Rui said: "No matter what medicine he is, it is not a good medicine in any case. The king is not a good thing. You can sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. When we are almost done fighting, we will pick up fruits and eat them."

Cao Kun thought for a while and said, "Do we agree or not?"

"Agree, Brother Third, do you still want to fight? You will lose your fights again? You have seen it before. What a good guy, the sky is full of their heavenly soldiers and generals." Cao Rui said in a fear.

In fact, as soon as Zhang Kuian arrived in Wuhan, Hubei, he first visited Cao Kun's two closest confidants, Cao Rui and Li Yanqing, and promised that the Zhi army would accept the adaptation in the future. Cao Rui would be the mayor of Tianjin and Li Yanqing would be the chief of the railway management office of the Ministry of Transportation. Both of them were salivating about this position, so they patted their chests and promised to help the National Defense Forces speak good things. They were really fed up in this place where birds do not poop, so they might as well go back to the flower world in Tianjin to play.

Cao Kun's confidant Li Yanqing quietly walked up to him and said, "Master, we have no money to continue to make a deal."

Cao Kun was shocked and said, "How come he has no money?"

Hearing Cao Kun asks himself, Li Yanqing, who has always been greedy, had to tell the truth, and said, "The General of the United States doesn't know. Where does it cost to mobilize the army and marching? In the battle of Qingyuan alone, we paid 200,000 yuan to the soldiers, and the soldiers are unwilling to come forward. The General of the General of Shangwu is now trying to raise money. If he has no money, he will lose his army, and if he has no army, he will lose his reliance. Why is General Shangwu not afraid of war?

He is rich, and he can afford to support the navy, so he can fight. Look at his soldiers, who are screaming, as if they have eaten opium ointment. Why? It’s not that their soldiers are well-fed and rich. How much money can General Shangwu make with a China Merchants Bank? Over the years, he has opened coal mines, iron mines, gold mines outside the pass, and has attracted investment from merchants from all over the world, so he has the money and strength to go south. Grandmaster, we must also have money."

Cao Kun was not in a hurry to meet Zhang Kui'an for detailed discussions. He was waiting for the British's attitude, and Zhang Kui'an was eager to bribe Cao Kun's subordinates, and he was not in a hurry to see him again. The British attitude was also very ambiguous. Both sides did not offend him, and it would be best to maintain the status quo. In addition, British ambassador Jurden is about to retire and does not want to offend the Chinese ruling party at such a critical moment, so Britain fell silent.

The Zhili Group couldn't wait, especially Cao Rui persuaded Cao Kun every day, and Li Yanqing was also dissatisfied with Wu Peifu, so he joined forces with Cao Feng and others to attack Wu Peifu. Cao Kun waited for two days before hosting Zhang Kui'an and said with a smile: "The people in China want peace, and we also want peace, but you also know that the Anhui Group was aggressive before. Now the Anhui Group still controls the central government, and the Anfu Group is at the trouble of the National Assembly, and the Central Committee cannot let us survive."

Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "Did Vice President Cao go further?"

Cao Kun's eyes widened and said in surprise: "Why do you mean this?" His heartbeat significantly accelerated.

Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "Now President Xu Shichang's operation is not good, the country is in turmoil, and the Congress is manipulated by those who are interested, which has become a personal stick for some people. Wu Ziyu hates Anfu's congress, why not Xiushuo hates it? It just needs to be done slowly, and it also needs to be explained and accepted slowly. The Magistrate should not be anxious. The Magistrate may participate in the presidential election two years later. If Xiushuo's support, the Magistrate's dream of the president can be fulfilled immediately."

Cao Kun breathed rapidly and said, "Would Wang Xiusheng be willing to support me?"

Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "Su Shuai only supports interests. If Cao Dashui gives enough interests to Xiu Shuai, will the coach want nothing else?"

Cao Kun said: "Wait, let me think about it."
