Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 615 Billion Pound Funding

"How's your injury?" Guan Xuqing asked.

"Back to the emperor, the doctor has checked it, and it must be fine." Xu Shichang replied.

Guan Xuqing smiled wryly: "It's really unlucky. It was the first time I came to Beijing for an audience. I just got a good job and was assassinated before taking office. Fortunately, he was lucky. The Nagasaki massacre turned him into a man." public enemy, it seems that he will have many twists and turns in the future."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. As the so-called jade is not perfect, you are still young and need a lot of experience. Otherwise, once you become arrogant, wouldn't it be another Yuan?" Xu Shichang wanted to say Yuan Shikai, but he felt extremely inappropriate when he said it. He swallowed the last two words abruptly.

Zhao Bingjun looked at Xu Shichang with supercilious eyes, and said in his heart that this matter is a scar on the emperor's heart. You, Xu Shichang, have been in the officialdom for so many years, and it is really inappropriate to raise it in front of the emperor.

Unexpectedly, Guan Xuqing didn't take it seriously: "That's right, I can't change into Yuan Shikai no matter what, I know this very well. But regarding Yuan Shikai's rebellion, all officials in the empire must always keep in mind and take it as a warning."

"twitter."

Zhao Bingjun seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and Qi Zou said: "Your Majesty, the Soviet Union called yesterday, and Soviet Lenin invited you to visit soon."

"I know, hum, Lenin is in a hurry. As soon as the war on our side ended, he couldn't wait for us to send troops to support. This time it must be a matter of asking for help." In fact, the Soviet Union asked for help after the end of the Sino-Japanese War. It has never stopped. The Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs frequently sent messages to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking both parties to fulfill the treaty agreement. I couldn't wait any longer, so I simply invited the Chinese emperor to visit, and wanted to make this matter clear in person.

"Your Majesty, I have received news that Hitler has launched the so-called Operation Barbarossa to fully open the Eastern Front. The target of this operational plan is the Soviet Union, but I think that Hitler will never mobilize troops just for the Soviet Union. The goal is still China. The combat plan is to quickly conquer the eastern territory of the Soviet Union, from Arkhangelsk in the north to Astrakhan in the south. This intended ultimate goal is also called the AA front. In the past few months, the German army continued to use the blitzkrieg tactics that had won a complete victory in Western Europe, swept across most of the Eastern European plains, and wiped out millions of Soviet troops with outdated equipment and poor tactics, showing an incomparably brilliant art of war In order to prepare for the attack, Hitler dispatched 320 million people from the three army groups to the German-Soviet border, sent reconnaissance planes to sneak into the Soviet airspace for surveys, and also stockpiled a large amount of military materials on the Eastern Front. But at the beginning, the Soviet Union did not expect The intention of the German army was caught off guard when the war broke out. Lenin and Stalin naively believed that the Third Reich could not launch an attack within two years of the signing of the Soviet-German non-aggression pact, and they also firmly believed that Germany would wait until it won A new battlefield will be opened after leaving the UK. It was not until the soldiers pressed down on the border and the Soviet intelligence agency repeatedly issued warnings that the war was imminent that Lenin and the others really panicked.” Zhao Bingjun reported the information he had in detail.

Guan Xuqing didn't seem surprised, but said flatly: "Lenin is in a hurry, but we can't be in a hurry. The war fully demonstrated the combat strength of the imperial army. Even the invincible Hitler and Mussolini had to re-evaluate China's policies. .”

"Does the emperor mean not to go, or not to send troops to aid the Soviet Union?" Xu Shichang couldn't figure out what the emperor meant.

"I'm going to see the reaction of the Soviets to this war. It's also good, but whether to send troops depends on the changes in the current situation. This needs a timing, understand? The most appropriate time to send troops will be affected. Unexpected results." Guan Xuqing pinched his brows and saw Wang Shang anxiously pacing up and down outside the hall, as if he had something to report, so he said to Zhao Bingjun and Xu Shichang: "If there is nothing wrong, you can just kneel down and rest. Bar."

"twitter."

As soon as the two left, Wang Shang entered the hall and played: "Sir Edmond, the president of the Rothschild family, is waiting outside the hall."

"Oh? Isn't he doing banking business in England? He's coming back so soon. I haven't seen him for quite a while, let's go." Guan Xuqing looked radiant, and he knew that Edmund's meeting with him this time must be nothing. Bad thing, after all, in this world, everyone is willing to deal with rich people, and the emperor is no exception.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, I am very glad to see your dragon face again. May God bless you forever young and always healthy." When Edmund saw the Emperor of China, it was as if honey had been smeared on his mouth, because Edmond I am not a fool. It is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad. Businessmen can only make a lot of money if they have a good relationship with politicians. Last year, if it was not for the backing of the Chinese emperor, how could the Rothschild family, which has been sunset, set off a huge financial boom in the UK? Storm, which made £50bn.

Guan Xuqing smiled and said: "Your God is the God of you Westerners. I don't need him to bless me, but I appreciate your kindness."

"Of course, of course, His Majesty the Great Emperor is a true dragon and a true god, so of course he doesn't need God's blessing. Hehe" Edmond's compliment was dismissed by the other party, with an awkward smile on his face.

Guan Xu said in a clear voice: "But in the business circles of all countries in the world, my name is not as famous as your Rothschild, haha"

"Your Majesty has praised, and praised, it is all thanks to His Majesty's strong support for the family business to be able to rise again."

"How is it? Since the headquarters moved to Shanghai, has your business been doing well?"

"Very good. Facts have proved that His Majesty's original suggestion was not, decisive, and completely correct. China has a stable political environment, a vast territory, and a large population. The construction of many areas requires financial support. All regions are interested in investment projects. It is also very supportive, and the rate of return on investment is also very high. The family has not only made many valuable investments in China, but also with this stable market, our foreign business has also developed quite smoothly, and the financial industries of various countries are more willing Partnering with us because they know that the Rothschilds are bound to the mighty Chinese Empire and this is a new brand name for the family."

"Many construction projects in China are in the ascendant, but they lack construction funds. Your investment will also bring vitality to the development of these areas. There are many business elites and hard-working workers, and compared to the United States, the remuneration is still relatively low, you can recruit talents from China to your company, this is not a small fortune." Guan Xuqing thought Clearly, letting your Rothschild family come to China is not just to make you free money, one is to use the huge financial strength of this family to push forward the economic construction of weak areas, and the other is to solve the work of a large number of Chinese people Let the Chinese earn money from the Rothschild family, especially some high-achieving students who graduated from Chinese universities can learn a lot of management experience when they work in this old-fashioned company, which will be of great benefit to the future development of imperial companies. No harm.

Of course Edmund understands that doing business must benefit both parties, so that the business can last forever, "Your Majesty is right, the family has recruited many high-achieving Chinese management students, and they are currently playing their respective roles in various jobs. It has brought vitality to the family business." Edmon paused for a moment and continued: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, you have helped the family a lot. I have heard a Chinese saying that the favor of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring." , I dare not say that I will be able to repay each other, but I want to use my meager strength to do something for China."

This was the point of Edmond's meeting with him. Guan Xuqing pretended to be surprised and asked, "Really? Thank you so much. I don't know what kind of return Mr. Edmond plans to make?"

"I know that China has just experienced two wars between China and North Korea and China and Japan. As long as there is a war, the economy will suffer losses. I am a businessman and I am not interested in politics, but I firmly believe that China is the party of justice. His Majesty the Great Emperor Decision-making represents the voice of all people who yearn for peace. In order to support the cause of peace and repay His Majesty, the Rothschild family intends to spend one billion pounds on the military development of the empire. I must declare in advance that this money is free Yes, there will be no strings attached." Sir Edmund vowed.

Guan Xuqing was not in a hurry to express his position, and nodded his head slightly to show his approval, but his mind was spinning rapidly, saying that no business is not evil, as long as you are a businessman, you will not make a loss-making business, especially an international financial institution like Rothschild. Predators, will throw a billion pounds in vain?There must be something in it.After thinking about it, he seemed to have understood the truth, so he tentatively said: "I plan to use troops against the German Communist Party."

Sure enough, Edmund's face immediately brightened, and his eyes lit up: "Okay, the German government is too abominable. It trampled on the land of European countries and destroyed many industries. If His Majesty the Great Emperor can launch a counterattack In terms of war, it is definitely an extremely wise decision."

Guan Xuqing immediately understood that the reason why Edmund contributed to the imperial army was to let China send troops to Japan. After all, the Rothschild family started in Europe. Many industries will inevitably be impacted. Edmund hopes that China will defeat Japan as soon as possible, and his business kingdom can also reduce some losses.Immediately said to Edmond: "Mr. Edmond's industry in Europe may have suffered a lot of losses in the war, right?"
