I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 242: Seven functions of the chat group! America is going to provide expert assistance to Ming Dynasty!

[Meishezu Lincoln: My topic is how the Confederacy won quickly with the help of the chat group...]

[Tang Xizong Li Xuan: My topic is, with the help of the chat group, what can I build my Tang Dynasty into in ten or twenty years. 】

Finally we got to the point.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to repeat his needs again.

【Messenger Roosevelt: Yes... The topics you two discussed actually include President Cleveland's topics. How much of a role can the chat group play?】

【Please think about it carefully and answer seriously. 】

[Previously, the issue of unifying Europe and the world was always too big. In the current group, I feel that President Lincoln and His Majesty Lee are in urgent need of help, which can really make our chat group play a good role. ]

Roosevelt reiterated this.

[American Lizong Grant: I'd better deal with President Lincoln's issue first. President Lincoln, aren't you ready to cheat the Northern Union of 200,000 troops for military supplies? I think... when those military supplies arrive, you don't even need to do anything. You can just hold young me hostage and formally surrender to the Confederacy, which will be a heavy blow to the Northern Union.]

[I even have a feeling that they might negotiate peace in one fell swoop.]

Grant took the topic seriously and once again brought up Lincoln's current actions.

[American British Cleveland: Indeed! President Lincoln, once your action is implemented, it will be a major military and political blow to the Northern Union. I think it doesn't even need our help. ]

【Meishezu Lincoln: Grant, Cleveland, you are talking lightly! 】

[My plan is to recharge the military supplies of the 200,000-man army into group points in one go through the chat group's recharge channel! By then, I will probably have close to 10,000 points. But 10,000 points are useless in the group! ]

[Now I want to confirm one thing... Can my 10,000 points be used to form a trading platform similar to Super Space through the communication function of the chat group? I can use the points to trade military supplies with Cleveland, Roosevelt and others. Or, can the chat group have a storage function, and only charge a certain fee to help me keep the military supplies of 200,000 troops...]

[If Grant and I were to defect to the Confederacy together... I feel that even if we were there, they would not use us, let alone listen to us.]

Lincoln decisively raised a series of practical issues.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: So... group owner? President Lincoln, this is really a practical question. Can a chat group serve as a mobile warehouse? Even if the fee is a little higher, we can accept it! ]

As soon as this question came up, Cleveland asked Zhu Houzhao directly.

Obviously, they made some reasonable speculations and imaginations about the functions of the chat group.

[Supreme Group Master: The chat group can be used as a warehouse, of course, but it needs to be charged half the price, or pay half the points of the corresponding materials. ]

Zhu Houzhao was sure that this function existed.

Otherwise, he would have no place to put the items topped up by the presidents.

However, Zhu Houzhao naturally would not be the warehouse manager for these people. Even if he wanted to be one, the fees would be expensive.

This is his exclusive business, so it is inevitable that he will take advantage of others.

[Meishezu Lincoln: Half the handling fee or half the points for the supplies! Group leader, you are so ruthless? After my 200,000-man army's supplies passed through one hand, only 100,000 troops' supplies are left? ]

Lincoln was shocked by the expensive storage fees.

【Meishezong Roosevelt: I think it's understandable! Such a magical function... the charge seems reasonable. 】

【Mei Yingzong Cleveland: Yes! This charge is quite reasonable. So, is this a certain rule?】

Cleveland probes.

[The supreme group leader: Yes, this is the rule. ]

[Meishezu Lincoln: What about the large red envelope transactions... Group owner, I can directly use the points to exchange and purchase military supplies from Cleveland, Roosevelt and others? The current red envelope function, although 30 points per time, but the supplies given at a time are too little and too expensive. Does the group owner have a large red envelope function? ]

[For example, one hundred points at a time, a red envelope can contain military supplies for ten units, about three thousand people? ]

Lincoln decided to try another approach and started bargaining.

[Supreme Group Master: The large red envelope function will be opened later. 】

Zhu Houzhao gave the answer.

【Meishezu Lincoln: Is this... so strict? 】

[Mei Yingzong Cleveland: Group leader... if we take the group mission route, will it not require expensive handling fees? For example, if President Lincoln also takes on the task of unifying the world, then when we send him supplies, what is the maximum scale we can give him? ]

It was obviously impossible for a person to die from holding his urine, so Cleveland quickly thought of another way.

[Supreme Group Master: Follow the group mission help route, and you can provide military supplies for 10,000 troops in one time and space. If you exceed this limit, you will get 1,000 points each time! ]

This group of people obviously need to figure out the chat group function right away.

Fortunately, I had done enough homework beforehand, and Zhu Houzhao explained them one by one.

【Mei Yingzong Cleveland: Group owner, what about the group trading function? I mean the real trading function! Group owner, you treat the chat group as a business platform. We only need to pay a certain tariff and entry fee, and we can trade without restrictions... Even if you pay 1,000 points or 2,000 points at a time, we can accept it.】

[After all, my mission to unify the world...]

[Group leader, you have also seen that future wars may involve millions of troops. A small transaction in a war involving millions of people seems insignificant...]

[In fifteen years, if you want to unify the world, you will definitely need a huge amount of material exchange. ]

Still wanting to solve the problem once and for all, Cleveland made another attempt.

[Supreme Group Master: This function will be available after the group has ten members. ]

Zhu Houzhao also gave a direct and clear answer.

[Louis XVI: Don’t we have ten members in our group yet? ]

When this topic came up, even Louis XVI became curious.

【Meishezong Roosevelt: Sixteen Majesties, President Washington, President Jefferson, President Jackson, President Lincoln, President Grant, President Cleveland, me, plus His Majesty Lee... plus the group leader, it seems that there are ten of them. 】

Roosevelt also took the opportunity to do some calculations.

[Supreme Group Leader: This group leader is not considered a formal member. 】

Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes. He didn't need these people to treat him as a human being.

[Mei Xuanzong Jackson: It seems that we don’t have to wait long. In another month or two, new members will come in. ]

【Mei Yingzong Cleveland: Well, this group trading function is worth looking forward to. If it is available, I will feel relieved. 】

【Meishezong Roosevelt: So... in the inventory. Our chat group now has four ways to directly exchange materials, right?】

[The first type: chat group storage function, half the fee is required. ]

[The second type: red envelope gift function. But it is only a small amount of gift and exchange.] [The third type: group task method. But there is only a military supply quota of 10,000 people.]

[The fourth type: group trading function, this allows unlimited trading, right? ]

Roosevelt also took overall stock of the functions they were able to carry out real material exchanges at the moment.

[Emperor Jefferson: Roosevelt, there is actually a fifth type! Intelligence function! Everyone can chat, and you can also give a lot of future news, which is also of great use in changing the world. ]

Jefferson immediately added.

[American Xuanzong Jackson: Actually, I think there is a sixth function! The American presidents... they are all our colleagues. We can communicate and exchange easily, and there is basically no barrier. ]

It’s a rare opportunity to get a good understanding of the overall functions of the chat group, Jackson immediately added.

Sharing the same origin is also an advantage.

[American Emperor Washington: Then I will add something, have you forgotten? The seventh function is the function of transporting troops across time and space. ]

Washington also quickly added.

[Mei Yingzong Cleveland: It's incredible that the chat group has seven functions! If I use these seven functions well, I even feel that unifying the world is not a difficult task. ]

[Messiah Roosevelt: Yes, if we make good use of the seven functions...it seems that it is really possible for us, America, to unify the world. ]

After all seven functions were discussed, Roosevelt couldn't help but sigh and look forward to it.

【Mercizu Lincoln: Well... I think we should not unify the world at every turn. For now... just help me first. I can do a war test first. What do you think, how should I use these seven functions to make the Confederacy win as quickly as possible? Cleveland, Roosevelt... How much support can you give me?】

Seeing that Cleveland was about to change the subject again, Lincoln quickly got back to the point.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: I can give you the greatest support, President Lincoln... I feel it is a little difficult, after all, my centralization of power also needs time. I can take care of some food and logistics, and President Lincoln just needs to give you a certain amount of points. ]

Cleveland thought about it seriously and felt that there would be no problem in providing food and logistical supplies.

In his current situation, there are already businessmen willing to support him.

But he felt it would be dangerous if he really used weapons.

[Messenger Roosevelt: I can provide some old weapons... Anyway, the Qing Empire and Japan need these weapons. When the time comes, President Lincoln, you just need to give a certain amount of points. ]

[According to the specific progress of the work... President Lincoln, you should be able to surrender the Confederacy within a month. Within a month, a real large-scale war should not be fought, and we will not lose so quickly. The time should be just right.]

In a flash, the two of them bought everything Lincoln needed.

[Meishezu Lincoln: Um... what you mean is... the weapons and military supplies of my 200,000-man army can all be recharged and exchanged for points? By then, the two of you can provide military supplies and weapons for 200,000 people? ]

Lincoln undoubtedly wanted confidence.

Zhu Houzhao also widened his eyes with some anticipation.

[American British Cleveland: Yes! That’s what you understand, President Lincoln! ]

[Messenger Roosevelt: It's the same here. It's no problem to provide 70 troops with weapons from the s. We can even provide some advanced weapons.]

[Louis XVI: You two are a little too arrogant, aren't you? You want to buy all the food and weapons at once? Cleveland, Roosevelt, can you really do it?]

[In order to support the founding of your country, America... Do you know that it almost caused the collapse of France...]

[Do you know how much supplies are needed to fight a war? ]

[The scale of your civil war has reached a war involving hundreds of thousands of people...]

Seeing that the two men solved Lincoln's problem so easily, Louis XVI was somewhat distrustful of the strength of the United States. After all, they had actually supported the War of Independence.

[Meishezong Roosevelt: Our strength is beyond your imagination, Your Majesty the Sixteenth! Anyway, you will be able to see it when the time comes, so just watch. ]

Roosevelt didn't want to explain too much.

【Louis XVI: Okay, I'll wait and see. 】

Others don't argue either.

【Meishuzu Lincoln: If you can have such support, then I need to think carefully about my next political operations. My problem has been solved. Please solve the problem of His Majesty Li.】

After getting the assurance from the two men, Lincoln's worries were put to rest.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, he finally has something to rely on.

[Tang Xizong Li Xuan: Right... It's my turn! I'm jealous of you guys for supporting an army of 200,000 at any time! So... How can I... With the help of the chat group, can I develop my national strength to the same level as yours? How long will it take? ]

Finally, it came to the critical point. Zhu Houzhao did not hesitate and asked directly.

The problem with the trumpet is the problem of the Ming Dynasty.

[American British Emperor Cleveland: How should I put it? To develop an agricultural country into an industrial country in ten or twenty years is indeed a very difficult task!]

[But I think... we can refer to the history of the development of the United States, especially some of the actions of the United States in the first thirty years. President Jefferson and others should have a say here.]

[Emperor Jefferson: I don't have much say, Cleveland. I think the national conditions of His Majesty Lee are different from those of America. We are actually crossing the river by feeling the way through Britain. They are ahead, and we just need to follow them. My philosophy is also to build America into an agricultural power...]

[Your Majesty Li and his people should be... in the feudal imperial era, how did they, the Tang Dynasty, transform an agricultural country into an industrial country from scratch, or a country where agriculture and industry accounted for half of the total. ]

【US Emperor Xuanzong Jackson: Yes... the transformation of an industrial country, as for me, our America has been established for more than 60 years, and I still insist on being an agricultural country. In ten... twenty years, can His Majesty Li transform an agricultural country into what you call an industrial country?】

【Mercester Roosevelt: I think... that is under normal circumstances. The premise of our discussion is that with the help of the seven functions of the chat group, I think that by making good use of these seven functions, it will take about 20 years, no, even only 15 years, to transform the ancient empire into an industrial country...】

[American British Cleveland: That's right! The reason why it took the United States sixty or seventy years, even after the Civil War, to completely transform into an industrial country was actually... the inherent factor was the presidential system's dispute over the agricultural and industrial routes, which probably took thirty years.]

[On the contrary, His Majesty Li and his people have supreme imperial power, so as long as he makes a decision, he can do it...]

[In ten years, it is estimated that the industrialization level during the time of President Jefferson can be initially achieved...]

【Tang Xizong Li Xuan: Oh...it only takes ten years?】

Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait.

[Meishezong Roosevelt: Send experts! If possible... I think if we want to build a relatively complete industrial system from scratch, it is not very useful for us to talk about it here. It is better to directly select hundreds or thousands of experts to guide you step by step. You must first let Your Majesty Li understand what industrialization is...]

What is the liberation of productivity?

[By the way, liberating productivity, this thing, Your Majesty Li, do you understand it? ]

【Tang Xizong Li Xuan: I understand! Send a thousand experts to us to give us hands-on guidance... Is there such a function in the group? 】

Zhu Houzhao's mind was opened. Since they could send people to America, it seemed that America could also send people to Ming Dynasty to help them with guidance, right?
