( ) The identity of this naval general is even more incomprehensible. This person’s name is Gu Xiangyun. He is a fresh graduate of the Annapolis Military Academy. He is of Chinese descent and has excellent grades.
But no matter how good his grades are, he is also a rookie. What is his virtue and ability to serve as the highest officer on the western coastline of the United States?
It also set a precedent for Chinese to serve as senior military officials!
However, after someone was interested in understanding it, he felt relieved: Gu Xiangyun was a young man sent to the United States to study in the Qing Empire. He was under twenty-five years old. His takeover was considered to be the product of Cleveland's compromise with the New Military Department.
The precursor of compromise can be understood by the world just a little thought that the Harrison administration and the Wolson military department have caused great harm to California, especially to the Chinese role model Earl of the North Sea.
Therefore, the appointment of a Chinese as the highest commander of the navy on the West Coast. The New Military Department showed goodwill to the Chinese, Longhao, and the European countries behind Longhao was so strong that it was fragrant and fragrant.
If you want to go deeper, Banson, the culprit of the "crash crisis", is still jumping around in Seattle!
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot withstand two tigers. Ma Han’s newly-owned Navy Department made this decision without the intention of killing people with a knife.
Aren’t the four western states engaging in a campaign to support Chinese?
Well, I'll send a Chinese naval commander over to see if you support Benson's "pseudo-fleet" or the first Chinese to serve as a senior American officer?
This is roughly the matter between the American political arena and the military. However, the people who are most touched by the bombardment crisis and the aftermath of the June Mire Campaign are the people at the bottom and the chaebols in the east!
After the disaster, the people of California, except for the middle class with a little wealth, were all homeless and mourned the grief of their deceased relatives. This tragic result was no less than the civil war thirty years ago. Most of the people at the bottom were penniless after burying their relatives. Their dissatisfaction with the US government reached its peak.
Taking the San Francisco Triangle District, California's "disastered Center", as an example, this dissatisfaction was accurately "utilized" by the new California Governor Leland Stanford and the re-elected San Francisco Mayor Stevenson.
It is said to be a use, but in fact, this set of people has also come up with "real materials" to help these affected people overcome difficulties.
Just as JMW ended, Stevenson, the old police force led the police force to bring San Jose and Sacramento around San Francisco into the ‘post-disaster reconstruction’ range.
Reconstruction requires funds, and the old Stevenson, who has always been honest, naturally has no money, so he signed a "big loan" agreement with North Sea Bank in the name of the three cities of San Francisco, San Jose and Sacramento.
The initial plan is to provide $2 million in disaster relief and reconstruction funds. In order to express the sincerity and credit of the three municipal governments, Stevenson, the old man mortgaged the land in the middle of the Triangle area surrounded by the three municipalities to Beihai Bank.
There is no problem with this move.
Although at the beginning, some Republican politicians who stepped down attacked Stevenson, saying that he was just the mayor of San Francisco and had no right to represent San Jose and Sacramento at all. He said that he was taking the opportunity to expand his territory and wanted to incorporate San Jose and Sacramento, which were damaged by the war, into San Francisco's sphere of influence.
However, when the $2 million loan was transferred to the government's account, these voices immediately ceased.
$2 million is equivalent to a huge sum of more than $2 billion in the 21st century!
Can help half a Brunei!
Compared with the White House's subsequent compensation of only $100,000 to the four western states, the large loan agreement further reflects the determination and ability of the Stevenson administration.
If you are not convinced, which bank can lend you $2 million to try? Those bankers who have the money they don’t invest will give you the relief to the victims?
Bah, go dream!
With the reveal, interpretation, setting up and creating momentum of local San Francisco newspapers, the people of California all knew that the "not easy" of the Stevenson administration in less than two weeks.
Get $2 million at the cost of an uninhabited vacant land?
Let’s go to TM to sell federal fixed assets!
You will say that the Greater West has many empty spaces. Usually empty, you don’t see you come to develop. Now you use idle "waste" to exchange for funds for reconstruction of the city. How good is the San Francisco government doing!
There is no mortgage on a square inch of land in the city. If you people can't eat grapes, they say that the grapes are sour, right?
The large loans were issued very quickly, thanks to the joint cooperation between the North Sea Bank and the Stevenson government of the Old.
Beihai Bank showed unprecedented speed of "bank lending", while the Stevenson government of the old showed unprecedented efficiency of "government work".
When the government has money, it first uses food to comfort the victims, and then fund the construction of the residence. In addition, it also provides people with skills with capital to make a comeback... In short, it uses socialist post-disaster therapy.
History has constantly proved that when it comes to money, the capitalism set is effective, but when it comes to healing, socialism is simply a priest with a full-level scepter, and the ruins are full of blood and are immediately resurrected.
Of course, the resurrection of full blood is a bit too exaggerated, but the disaster relief effect of the Stevenson government of the Old is indeed immediate. Before Cleveland was sworn in, the San Francisco Triangle has recovered from its vitality. If we don’t look at the ruins that have not been cleared, just looking at the coming and going and the vibrant scenery, it is hard to imagine that this place was a severely affected area of the Xia Bo Department more than ten days ago.
The San Francisco Triangle has set a good example. The rest of the affected cities in California, such as the Los Angeles area...even the surrounding Nevada and Oregon were envious and tentatively proposed to Beihai Bank to rebuild the loan.
Their purpose is very simple: as long as you pay a little free land, you can get millions of dollars. What should you do if you don’t take advantage of such a bargain? And... we have indeed been affected by the war. Many rich people’s life savings were taken away by the hateful Xia Bo’s troops. Now there are many "bankrupt tycoons" here who are yelling to ask the government to compensate for their losses! We officials who are cleaning up the mess are not having a good life!
Faced with the "help letter" flying in like snowflakes and the endless appointments to meet, Beihai Bank, which had just been established less than a month ago, showed good patience and cultivation.
As the president of the bank, Princess Melissa of Xianlu, approved applications at the municipal level and above one by one, and gave full and friendly reception to the officials who came to San Francisco to interview.
Now, Melissa was so busy that she kicked her toes. After a few days, she almost didn't even drink her saliva. The total amount of "borrows" approved reached a terrifying $9 million, benefiting 21 cities in the four western states.
In order to illustrate Melissa's busyness, I will take a look at the conversation about Melissa one day in July.
"Shasha, how many more official representatives have you received today?"
"Sister Yuan'er, there are only fifteen, nine of which are village representatives, and three are actually bankrupt private businesses that were affected by the disaster. I transferred them to the managers below to deal with them."
These managers, skilled in business, come from the merged Rothschild Bank.
"It's so inconspicuous. When we hear that we have money, all the monsters and monsters have come. We really think we are the young master saying: People are stupid and have more money, can you come quickly?"
"Haha..." Melissa smiled tiredly: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, Ocean has been unconscious. It's better for me to be tired of work. If I concentrate, I won't miss him. Alas!"
"Sha, why are you still trying to get stubborn?" Yuan'er came up and stroked Melissa's back: "I told you all, the young master is very capable, how could he be seriously injured and unconscious? The one on the bed must be pretending!"
"Can you be sure?" Melissa smiled miserably, heartbreakingly.
"This... you don't remember the incident between the young master and us... His body must be extremely strong... You and I have ever shouted, "I can't do it?" Yuan'er had a pretty face red, and even in a very confidential room, her voice was low.
"Ocean's body is certainly excellent, but... that's the head! Have you ever heard of Achilles? The great hero of ancient Greek mythology is invulnerable, but he died on his ankle in the end... Heroes always have weaknesses, and once they get hit, they will be fatal."
"Hey, I haven't heard of foreign myths. But the young master is definitely not comparable to that god Achilles!"
Why am I so stupid? I don’t remember the characteristics of the young master? Yuan'er regrets now. She was knotted when she was a child and was not attentive to serve Long Hao. Later, the two were intimate, but she was not afraid of the girl's shyness. She spent almost every time with her eyes closed. She couldn’t recall any special marks on Long Hao.
Now, when Yuan'er thinks about it, she feels both annoyed and guilty, but one thing is that she always firmly believes that her young master will never be injured like this, and that the one on the bed must be Xibei goods!
It's a pity that I can't come up with evidence.
"Sister Yuan'er, where is the evidence?"
"What evidence do you want? Intuition, rely on intuition! Sasha, we are all women, what about your intuition as a woman?"
"I don't believe in intuition. I just want to fulfill the wish of ocean and help him continue his unfinished career! Maybe I was extremely tired and he felt distressed and woke up?"
"What's the point of you... Look at Ai Shili, she doesn't believe that the person on the bed is the young master. In just two days, she left the hospital and went to the dock to rebuild her shipyard!" Yuan'er was a little embarrassed that she was not strong enough. She was also a European princess, why was the gap between being a human being so big?
"She? How long has she known Ocean? She is too competitive and is determined to build the Ailong Shipyard into the world's largest shipbuilding factory. What do you say to overwhelm me in terms of making money..." Melissa smiled disdainfully and pulled her hair: "But how could she know that Ailong Shipyard is only a very small part of Ocean's industry... And when it comes to making money, what can compare to banks?"
"Okay, let's not talk about the young master for now. Sasha, let me ask you, Beihai Bank has just been established, and I keep lending money to the government like this. If the other party refuses to repay one day, won't we suffer a big loss?" Seeing Melissa deliberately disagree with the topic, Yuan'er sighed and followed her wishes and began to ask about Beihai Bank.
This bank is the last industry planned by Long Hao before he was unconscious, and it also concerns whether Huaxia Town can spread its influence to the western coast of the United States. Yuan'er doesn't understand the financial industry very well, but she is a little worried that Melissa will lack energy and will make mistakes and be deceived in the loan issue.
"How could you suffer a loss?"
Melissa smiled and said, "Sister Yuan'er, you are taking care of the ocean in the hospital and know less... The ocean's troops took too much advantage in this confrontation with the 338e Division, and the money they borrowed now accounts for less than one-tenth of the income!"
When Yuan'er heard this, she smiled, but stopped saying: Longlin Jun's harvest in jmw is a bit biased to say that she, the young master's personal maid, doesn't know.
Under Major General Miller's deliberate guidance, Xia Bo's troops swung their horseshoe and butcher's knife through at least 30 counties and cities, and they robbed countless property. However, it was precisely because of Miller's secret information that the Dragon Scale Army often came before the Xia Bo's troops could catch the horse and drove it away. After driving it out, the large portion of the property was taken over.
Yuan'er had contact with Gao Tianyang, Yu Haosheng, Long Ganruo and others. After knowing that after a fight, the Dragon Scale Army's income was probably about to be close to 100 million US dollars!
And this money can eventually be regarded as "hidden" income, because the blame was taken by Xia Bo's.
It took a lot of effort to count, collect and hand over the 100 million US dollars of property just after the war, most of which were injected into Beihai Bank according to Long Hao's instructions before "unintention".
This is why Melissa would say that the money she borrowed was less than 10% of what she gained.
"...Sister Yuan'er, you understand. These 'irrighteous wealth' were taken from the people of California and passed through the hands of the bank. They were then sent back to the California and surrounding city governments. In the name of disaster relief, they took all the good land into the name of Ocean! This is the plan he quietly told me before Xia Bo's headquarters came."
The conversation between Yuan'er and Melissa came to an end. After learning about the general where the money was going, Yuan'er told Melissa to take care of her health and then went out. But not long after she went out, she felt an extremely uneasy thought arose.
The princess, she didn't do this on purpose to show me? Actually... she wants to monopolize Beihai Bank?
This idea of doubting that Melissa is making profits for herself may sound absurd at first glance, or some people may even think that Yuan'er is a woman's mind and a little chick, but in fact, it is not the cause of no cause.
First, this jmw's "war bonus" is too great, so big that people can't help but think.
California is the richest state in the western United States. In addition, it has not had a war for decades, has many foreign ports, and has extremely developed and prosperous maritime trade. The wealth accumulated by its people is already outrageous.
One hundred million US dollars sounds so much that it is too much, but it is just a preliminary estimate. If you make up for it, it will not be impossible for the value to rise again.
Secondly, the quality of the Dragon Scale Army is too high. The war wealth they "confiscated" was almost completely ignored.
Among them is the contribution of the Dragon Scale Party's political propaganda, and the reason why these soldiers are mostly poor "three major citizens". They could not survive in China. After coming to the United States, they were too grateful to Long Hao for the "rebirth" given by him, so they would not have time to hide their spoils like soldiers and bandits.
This was a good thing, but as Long Hao accidentally fell into a coma, the taste of things changed a little. He was willing to hand over to the young master. But if the object of handover became a Western princess, would those soldiers complain?
Yuan'er even felt that the young master's army was very likely to have made wedding dresses for Beihai Bank in this war.
Third, the real reason why Yuaner is suspicious: Huaxia Town sent a telegram, and Long Bo and others learned that Long Hao was bedridden and was on the way, and would arrive in San Francisco soon.
Long Bo is Yuan'er's art teacher. In the telegram, he implicitly hinted that Yuan'er should pay attention to Long Hao's property and not be stolen by outsiders. He took advantage of it. When the backbone of Huaxia Town arrives, he will discuss and deal with it together.
After all, Yuan'er was born in Huaxia Town and had to consider the interests of the Chinese. Although her relationship with Melissa is also very good, once this thought comes out, it will inevitably become uncontrollable when the woman's "delicate" thoughts ferment.
I didn't think about it just now, but after I came out, Yuan'er was thinking: Princess has been focusing on the bank these days, really to numb herself with her work? Why does she always believe that the young master is not the one in the bed? I have advised so much, but she always avoids her words?
Could it be that she is really like Long Bo said: If she is not of my race, her heart will be different?
She is a white man. Seeing that the young master may never wake up, she has to think about herself... and take away the young master's property?
She is the young master's legal fiancée, and that was announced by the Queen of England in front of the whole world. Once the European doctors concluded that the young master could not be cured, as the young master's first legal heir, wouldn't she have a name to possess the young master's property?
Even Huaxia Town...
Oh...it's so scary!
Not to mention the "poisonous snake" in Yuan'er's heart that was biting her heart, which made her feel very distressed. We temporarily leave Beihai Bank and invest in the academic world... Don't forget that Long Hao is not only an earl, but also a physics master who pioneered the theory of quantum mechanics!
Long Hao's sudden coma caused a major earthquake in the academic world. European scholars called in newspapers to demand that the US government make a public apology for the despicable behavior of persecuting a physics scholar and give Long Hao and his family reasonable compensation. Otherwise, they will refuse to conduct academic exchanges with mainland America, with the time limit... uncertain!
