The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

The second update of spn!Five thousand words!Thanks to the European 56 students who voted for the first monthly ticket of this month!

----

At this time, China has already mastered a large amount of gold, and China adopts a credit currency, and these golds are not exchangeable.

The gold held by China is equivalent to 30% of the world's gold reserves, which is naturally not comparable to the 12% held by the United States in history.

But at this time, the gold held by the United States is only about 20%. From this, we can see who earns more. [

After the outbreak of the First World War, China first monopolized the import of military materials from Russia, and the 757 billion pounds that Britain loaned to Russia was basically spent on importing materials from China.

In addition, China has more trade with the allies than the United States, and the gold of the allies also flows into China.

Although the United States exported more than China to the Allies, the difference was not too much. As a result, China's gold reserves surpassed that of the United States.

However, apart from China and the United States, there are still 50% of the gold reserves in the hands of countries around the world, but the amount controlled by the country is not large. The Rothschild consortium controls the most gold. Among the remaining 50% of the gold reserves , about 25% are controlled by the Rothschild consortium.

Adding the gold in the United States, it is equivalent to nearly 35% of the gold reserves in the hands of the Rothschild consortium.

You must know that this is not the entire country, but the wealth held by a family.

In other words, just one family controls more gold than the current gold reserves in the whole of China.

Although many of China's 30% gold reserves belong to the consortium of warlords in Jiangyu, not all of them belong to the consortium.Of course, since the gold is not exchangeable, the gold is equivalent to Jiang Yu's consortium.

Although the American consortium eagerly wanted to get rid of the control of the Rothschild consortium during the First World War, it currently only controls less than 10% of the gold.

The power of the American consortium has been greatly weakened compared to the First World War in history.This is also what limits submarine warfare, and is caused by Chinese competition.

The Rothschild consortium, which owns 35% of the world's gold reserves, is still relatively terrifying in its financial strength. In addition, it owns a large amount of real estate in Europe and a lot of real estate in the United States. In Europe and the United States, the Rothschild consortium is well-deserved overlord.

The American consortium's attempt to break away from the Rothschild consortium failed.Owning 40% of gold and owning less than 10% of gold, there is a huge gap between the capitals of the two parties that cannot be bridged.

But China has risen in one fell swoop, although the amount of gold is not as good as that of the Rothschild consortium.But Chinese capital is not what it used to be, and the gap with the Rothschild consortium is not too big.

In addition, China's national capital is rooted in Asia and has national protectionism as its shell. It is only delusional for the Rothschild consortium to swallow China's national capital.

At this time, Chinese capital has even reached the point where it can hold its ground without national protectionism.

But the national protection policy is still necessary.

Chinese national capital can now expand outward.As long as it is in the area covered by China's sphere of influence.Don't be afraid of the Rothschild consortium.

In fact, gold is something that cannot be eaten. If the currency function of gold is not recognized, gold is only a luxury.

However, gold has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as a currency, and it is not known how many years this currency has existed. In short, since the birth of human civilization, humans in various regions have regarded this kind of thing as currency. [

What the consortium does is to continuously concentrate gold, which is a means of hoarding goods.

The actual amount of wealth does not depend on gold.Instead, look at the product.How many commodities are there and how many commodities can be produced.

Even if China does not have a piece of gold now.It can also develop without any influence.

After all, gold is no longer used as currency in China. Of course, there is no gold law to guarantee financial security. At that time, policies can only be used to protect currency security.

The real function of gold is actually used for post-war recovery. For example, Japan and Germany were able to recover quickly after World War II because they grabbed a large amount of gold during the war and hid it before surrendering.

After the war, they were able to use gold to buy advanced equipment and use gold for education and development, so naturally they were able to recover quickly.

In general, at this time, the consortium of warlords and oligarchs in Jiangyu controlled 30% of the gold reserves, the Rothschild consortium controlled 35%, the American consortium controlled nearly 10%, and the remaining 25% was controlled in the UK, In the hands of the countries of France and Germany, and the national capitals of these countries, at the same time, other small countries in Europe and some small countries in South America also control some.The so-called storage capacity does not include the gold circulating on the market.

China's gold is mainly stored in Shanghai, Wuhan, and Chengdu, all of which are on the Tropic of Cancer. Among them, the gold in Shanghai and Wuhan is used for commercial operations, and the gold stored in Chengdu is for backup.

Shanghai is the financial center of China at this time, and it will also become the largest financial center in Asia.

From the distribution of the world's gold reserves, it can be seen that the world's wealth is already very concentrated at this time, and ordinary people have little money in their hands.

If we talk about the richest people in the world today, then it is the United States and China.

America is also at war.

Because the civilians are exhausted and there is no money for the consortium to grab, so the European consortium wants to end this war as soon as possible.

Only after this war is over can we enjoy those wealth!

And only by ending the war can we spare the strength to suppress the Russian revolution. You must know that the consortium is most afraid of the revolution of the red bear.

Under the revolution, no matter how many assets there are, they will be "communized".

However, at the end of 1917, with the arrival of manpower and material resources aided by China, the entire Allied countries became much more stable.

The Allied Powers lost more than 1917 million tons of merchant ships in 700 because of Germany's restrictions on submarine warfare, and a large amount of supplies sank to the bottom of the sea.

In this year, the displacement of merchant ships built by the Allies was only 300 million tons.

Since 1915 Germany began to restrict submarine warfare.The displacement of merchant ships sunk by the Allies reached nearly 2000 million tons.

It is twice as much as World War I in history!

But since the start of the war, Britain has been building ships with a displacement of 200 million tons per year, plus the merchant ships built by the United States and China for Britain.At this time, the Allies still had 1500 million tons of merchant ships. [

Before the war, among the countries of the world, Britain had 2000 million tons of merchant ships, Germany 500 million tons, the United States 220 million tons, and France 190 million tons.

The total displacement of ocean-going merchant ships in these countries is as high as 3000 million tons, and the tonnage of world merchant ships should exceed 3500 million tons.

Most of the German merchant ships were finished.Some of them were leased to China, but all of them were later sold to China.

At this time, only 1500 million tons of merchant ships from the Allies were left, which means that the number of merchant ships from European and American countries was cut in half because of the war.

Many parts of the world are experiencing a rapid decline in merchant shipping tonnage.The import and export are almost paralyzed.

Chinese merchant ships increased to 1917 million tons in 500, reaching one-third of European and American merchant ships, and quickly seized a part of the share of international ocean transportation.

However, there is still a huge gap in the world's ocean transportation industry, because many Chinese merchant ships are used for their own ocean transportation.

China's ocean traffic in Southeast and Northeast Asia is increasing.After guaranteeing its own ocean transportation, it takes into account the ocean transportation of other countries.

Due to the dramatic increase in merchant shipping tonnage.The sailor colleges in Fujian and Guangdong provinces are full of students, and China's era of great navigation has arrived.

This is a phenomenon that Westerners do not want to see, but at this time the development of China's ocean shipping industry has become unstoppable.

As the New Year approached, Lu Zuofu was looking at the blue sea with great emotion on a large passenger ship bound for the Nanhua Kingdom in Nanyang.

Lu Zuofu, a generation of ship king, was only 24 years old at this time. Lu Zuofu participated in the Revolution of 21 when he was [-] or [-] years old. At the age of [-], he began to travel to Shanghai, Beijing and other places, and his next travel destination.It is the Nanyang Islands.

Lu Zuofu, who has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, has traveled a lot in recent years.Increased a lot of experience and knowledge.

In the past few years, the Republic of China has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The territory has expanded rapidly, and it has become the hegemony of Asia in one fell swoop.

This made Lu Zuofu realize that the main purpose of China's future strategy is to expand outward, so he decided to visit the overseas colonies of the Republic of China.

If you focus on the country, it is too narrow.

Recalling the [-] Revolution in the past, after various plots and turmoil, Jiang Yu and Yuan Shikai colluded to seize political benefits.

At that time, they called it "Jiangyuan Negotiation Peace" by these revolutionary parties. At that time, many denunciation activities were carried out, but they were also violently suppressed. Many students were arrested and sent to the northwest farm for "labor re-education". come out.

Lu Zuofu escaped a catastrophe at that time, but he didn't dare to make trouble again, but he was still very opposed to the cooperation between the East China faction and the Beiyang faction.

But as time went by, the alliance of the two major factions brought unprecedented stability to China, and the rapid development of industry and agriculture.

After years of hard work and reform across the country, the administration of officials has been efficient and clean, the social security system has been continuously improved, and people's income has continued to increase.

Especially after the outbreak of the First World War, China quickly defeated Japan under the joint efforts of Yuan Shikai and Jiang Yu, and made Japan surrender on condition.

At the same time, it also recovered Taiwan, North Korea, Ryukyu, and Vietnam, captured the Indonesian Islands, the Philippine Islands, and even made Siam bow its head and pay tribute to it.

The only thing that people criticize is that they spent [-] million pounds to buy a colony on the Arabian Peninsula full of yellow sand, but the flaws are not concealed.

During the European War, although wars broke out in China every year, the whole country was not dragged into the quagmire of horrible wars.

The country's industry is developing rapidly, almost everyone has a job, and the income of ordinary people is rising every year. Both economically and military have achieved unprecedented development.

An unprecedented huge amount of money has been invested in education, so that every child can go to school.There is also huge investment in medical and health care, which has rapidly increased China's population growth rate.

Lu Zuofu, who had traveled to many places, realized that it would be another ruler.It is absolutely impossible.

Because whether it is the rise of the economy or the military, it is inseparable from industry.

If Jiang Yu hadn't brought back technology and funds from Germany in the past, if it hadn't been for Jiang Yu's crazy loan of more than one billion pounds before the outbreak of the war.China's industry can't develop at all.

At the same time, without the industries of the East China faction, the rise of the military would not have started, and it would be even more impossible for the economy to have such a rapid development speed.

The development of military and economic law will affect all fields of the country, and it is impossible to have the great rivers and mountains of today.

At the beginning, the East China faction had a strong military force, and all previous foreign wars served as the absolute main force.At that time when there were many warlords in China, the Beiyang faction did its best to resist.The East China faction is fully capable of pacifying China by force.Jiang Yu and Yuan Shikai's mutual compromise, is it not for the sake of less turmoil in this country?

A warlord who can rise to the pinnacle of power in China can surrender the president to Yuan Shikai for the sake of national justice.How high a moral standard does this require?

Time has proven everything in the past.

Lu Zuofu also changed from the Jiangjiang faction to the Jiangjiang faction.

On the passenger ship, Lu Zuofu found many veterans with their families. Lu Zuofu, who has traveled around the world, likes to chat with all kinds of people.

On the way, I chatted with these veterans, and those veterans learned that Lu Zuofu was a student traveling abroad.Can't help but be in awe.At this time, intellectuals in the Republic of China had a high social status.

"Brother Lin, what are you doing with your family to Nanyang after you leave the army?" Lu Zuofu asked a veteran surnamed Lin.

This veteran surnamed Lin is called Lin Dagui. He was born in a rural area and was given a rustic name by his parents. He said happily: "I made a third-class meritorious service when I was fighting against Japan. This time The Ministry of Veterans Affairs allocated me a 200-acre plantation, just over Borneo."

"So many!" Lu Zuofu exclaimed.

"This is the least for me. If you have made second-class meritorious service, you can get 300 mu! The most can get 500 mu! If it's those who use mechanized farming in Zhenyi Province (Hokkaido, Sakhalin) Land for grain. The starting point is 5000 mu. This year, the military department set aside 200 million mu of plantations in Nanyang. It has not been completely divided up to now. I heard that there are still nearly [-] million mu of plantations that have not been divided.” Lin Dagui said, But it can be seen that he is very happy, [-] mu of land in the country is a landlord.Although Nanyang's economy is poor, the climate in Nanyang is suitable for the development of agriculture, and the products of these lands are higher than those in China.

"I heard that the Nanyang native riots have not been completely wiped out!" Lu Zuofu said worriedly.

"Naturally, the country doesn't give us land for free. When we arrive in Southeast Asia, where the Chinese have not completely occupied the land, we have to fulfill relative obligations. Suppressing the aborigines is also one of the obligations. When we arrive in the locality, the military department will issue us with machine guns, submachine guns, Rifles, pistols and other firearms. Even if foreigners come over in the future, we will have to participate in the battle to protect the land we have laid down." Lin Dagui said without fear, "As for the natives, if they dare to riot, I will use machine guns drop them."

"Old Lin, the machine gun is not easy to use. It is too heavy. It is more convenient to use a submachine gun." Another veteran said with a smile.

"Yes, but it depends on the situation."

However, Lu Zuofu discovered that the country's immigration policy has a strong color of military immigration. He only heard that the country recruited workers to immigrate to Nanyang and other places in China, but he didn't hear anything related to land.

Originally, Lu Zuofu thought that the land was in the hands of the natives.

Now it turns out that's not the case at all.

The land has already been confiscated. The country first used force to capture these lands, and then distributed the land to veterans for management. The number of acres is basically [-] acres.

For ordinary people in China, two hundred acres of land is unimaginable.

In former China, a landlord was a landlord who owned [-] mu of land. During the Qing dynasty, [-] mu of land was enough for a family to live on meat from time to time.

Of course, with the rapid economic development, it is not uncommon to eat meat. Ordinary workers eat meat every day. But at this time, China has [-] acres of land. If the land is good, the income will be quite a lot.But the land is becoming less and less valuable now, at least for the land that grows food.

Lu Zuofu saw the production process of large-scale mechanized agriculture in the north, and knew that food was getting cheaper and cheaper, and there was no future for growing food.

Unless you own five or six hundred acres of land and use mechanized farming, you can have a high personal income.

But it is different in Nanyang. The land in Nanyang is used to grow cash crops.Moreover, indigenous people can be hired cheaply to work, and the income is far from that of the land that grows food.

The state distributes the land conquered by soldiers to the soldiers, which is equivalent to sending many soldiers on the newly occupied land, and there is no need to pay the soldiers.

If these lands are distributed to ordinary people in the country, those ordinary people may be bullied by the natives after they come.

It was impossible for the soldiers. Lu Zuofu could feel the strength of these soldiers from the words. It would be good if they didn't bully the natives. How dare the natives bully them?

The industrial development of these areas that have just been included in the territory can use ordinary people, because the factory workers are concentrated together, and naturally they are not afraid of being bullied by the natives.

This system not only ensures that China can quickly digest these territories, but also increases the enthusiasm of the military to expand outward.

At the same time, the state has allocated more land, but not too much.This ensures that the personal GDP of these veterans will not be too low, and enables these soldiers who carry their heads to the battlefield to become a middle class with stable income.

Moreover, the soldiers are very disciplined and their thinking is more upright. The soldiers of the Republic of China are all educated in the army, and they can form a good local atmosphere after immigrating to a place.Moreover, the soldiers have a strong sense of defending the territory, and the government distributes weapons to them, which can effectively maintain local law and order.

In addition, most of the soldiers of the Chinese National Defense Force come from the countryside, and the families themselves have no property. Allocating land to soldiers who have made great achievements in the country can also allow them to have a stable income after retiring from the army.

The national and local armed forces conduct drills for veterans for a certain period of time every year, which also ensures that these veterans can be quickly mobilized into the army when the war comes.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Zuofu realized the benefits of using soldiers as the main force of immigrants. (To be continued.)
