Red Alert 1895 Chapter 180

After Cixi discussed with her fellow party members, they began to deprive the Nanyang ministers of their rights, and then publicly reorganized the so-called five-port trade ministers. The rights of teachers and so on were also transferred to the hands of the five ministers of trade and commerce. 【Sogou, 360, soso搜索 Classic Novel Free Download Novel】As usual, the Minister of Trade and Commerce of the Five Ports was also appointed by the Governor of Liangjiang, but the Nanyang Minister was not abolished. As for the future, everyone can't figure out what Cixi is playing, but this minister of Nanyang has not been paid much attention, and the power of the minister of Nanyang has also been transferred to the hands of the five ministers of trade, so everyone is also concerned. No objection.

"Governor Wang, our family has received news from the Queen Mother, and the appointment of the Minister of Nanyang will soon come to you. At that time, don't forget to support the Queen Mother!" Li Lianying said.

And Wang Guorui said affirmatively: "Okay, we will definitely support the Queen Mother!"

Soon, Li Lianying also left the Governor's Mansion, and then went to the Taiwan Hotel to rest.

"Husband, according to the information I got from Liu Feng, this Minister of Nanyang is just an empty position. The Qing court has already transferred all the rights in the Minister of Nanyang. Do you still want the position of Minister of Nanyang?" Zheng Hong said.

And Wang Guorui smiled and said: "What I care about is not the military power and the treaty ports in the hands of the Nanyang minister, but his right to be in charge of Nanyang diplomacy."

"Nanyang diplomacy? Husband, don't you want those treaty ports, and then go to the mainland?" Zheng Hong asked.

At first, Zheng Hong thought that Wang Guorui wanted to seize the port. Then began to eat away at the mainland. But it doesn't seem to be the case now, Wang Guorui wants to have his own purpose, that is, he has taken a fancy to the Nanyang Minister's right to be in charge of diplomacy. This really made Zheng Hong feel strange.

"Hong'er, you don't understand. I want the position of Minister of Nanyang, which means that I have the right to replace the Man Qing to exercise part of the diplomatic power, so that I have the right to face the big powers directly. Otherwise, we are just In a region, the so-called Office of Friendship and Liaison with Foreign Countries is just a deceitful thing, and not many people recognize it internationally. As for the exchanges between countries, we should pay attention to the integrity of the name. If the name is not right, then no one will pay attention to you. Yes! And with the status of the Minister of Nanyang, then I have a part of the diplomatic rights to represent this country, so that we can communicate with foreign countries in an open and aboveboard manner, without worrying about nominal restrictions. And what you said We must enter the mainland as soon as possible. The time is not yet ripe. My prestige is not enough to rule the entire mainland. If we want to enter the mainland now, I am afraid that the foreign devils will rebound. Our current resources are not enough to fight the foreign devils Fight a fateful decisive battle. If we want to attack the mainland, the biggest enemy is not the Manchus, but the foreign devils. Once we make up our minds to attack the mainland, they will inevitably have a decisive battle with us. We must defeat Only then can they truly enter the mainland. Otherwise, we have no chance at all. Therefore, we need to accumulate strength. And I want the position of Nanyang Minister to accumulate strength." Wang Guorui said.

"However, the Minister of Nanyang is only in charge of the south. That is, the diplomacy in the southeast area. But here are all colonies of Westerners, and there are hardly any independent countries. What is the use of our diplomatic rights?" Zheng Hong asked.

Wang Guorui didn't speak, but just opened a large map, and said, "Hong'er, you know that our development in Taiwan has reached a bottleneck. What restricts our development is not any machinery. It's not any talents, but a problem of resources." .We have too few resources in Taiwan. Taiwan does not produce resources, nor does it store many resources. We only have a small amount of coal mines in Taiwan. These coal mines are used in the whole of Taiwan, and they are already stretched. Other metals Resources are in serious shortage. Although we have trained hundreds of thousands of skilled workers in Taiwan, we do not have enough resources to allow these workers to start working. Now, according to the information reported by the Executive Yuan, many private The factory stopped expanding its manpower, and even began to consider layoffs. As for the reason for the layoffs, it is because the number of raw materials continues to rise.”

"Taiwan is an isolated island. We don't have any resources, and all resources have to be transported from outside. And there are freight charges during the transportation process, and there are more and more factories on Taiwan Island, and the resources that can be shipped from outside are limited. They are constantly competing with each other, which also raises the price of resources. In the end, the factory can't afford it, and then it can only solve the economic problem by laying off workers."

"Downsizing means that some people will lose their jobs, which is very dangerous. Taiwan has no surplus land to divide, and can only rely on industry to absorb the surplus labor force. If too many people cannot participate in productive work, then the unemployment rate will If it keeps rising, their support for our Taiwan will plummet. Therefore, resources have become the biggest bottleneck restricting our development in Taiwan. We must find a way to expand, and the target of our next expansion is Nanyang. It must be said here , and here!"

Wang Guorui pointed to Indonesia and the Philippines on the world map, and these two places are where Wang Guorui will expand next. Indonesia is still a colony of the Dutch, while the Philippines is a colony of Spain. Spain would soon lose the Philippines too, though, as the Philippines was snatched by the Americans less than two years later at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War. The Philippines is an archipelago that is almost made of copper. According to later statistics, the copper mines in the Philippines contain more than 4 billion tons, and there are countless other precious metals. And the oil in the Philippines is also quite considerable, so this is a place where you can expand your power.

As for Indonesia, that's even more of a fertile place. Indonesia's oil plays a pivotal role in the world in later generations, and coal is a large exporter in the world. Indonesia's coal has almost fed the three major Asian economies of China, Japan, and India in later generations. It is conceivable how rich coal resources can support these three big countries with relatively good strength! And now this Indonesia is still in the hands of the Dutch, and they haven't found anything. The Dutch in this era did not realize that Indonesia has so many resources, and if people from other countries know that this place has such a huge resource, the British will turn their faces against the Dutch.

And for Wang Guorui, who came from later generations, this is nothing. Of course, he is very aware of how rich the resources are here, so Wang Guorui directly set his sights on this Indonesian resource. The most difficult resource exploration for others is not a problem for Wang Guorui. As long as the red police mining vehicle on Taiwan Island is sent to Indonesia, he will be able to help Wang Guorui find ore. Although it cannot be sent back to Taiwan as an additional currency, it can also save a lot of exploration costs. As for the money for mining vehicles, it is already worthless to Taiwan at present, so it is more valuable to use this mining vehicle for exploration.

The bigger reason for Wang Guorui's idea of ​​playing Nanyang is that although the Dutch and the Spaniards were powerful countries in the past, that is just the past tense. The current Dutch and Spaniards, Wang Guorui is not afraid of them at all. Although Wang Guorui didn't dare to go to India to touch the tiger's **** of the British, he could definitely make his mind on the Dutch and Spaniards. Take advantage of this time to quickly take down the Philippines and Indonesia, so that the country will be full of very sufficient resources in the future, and you will not have to worry about resources for at least a hundred years. But now coal is used as the main power source, and the future is oil, and with Indonesia, there will be no shortage of oil or coal in the future.

This kind of good place was put in the hands of two weak countries. If Wang Guorui didn't take the opportunity to grab it, he would really be sorry for himself. These two weak countries are the reason why every man is innocent and full of guilt, UU reading www.uukanshu. com They have obviously declined, and they still hold these two fertile places, so isn't this just inviting disaster for themselves?

"But, my husband, we can't beat them for no reason, right? We must know that in the world, we must pay attention to a teacher who is famous. If the teacher is not well-known, I am afraid that he will be guarded and resisted by all countries. This is the same as our Chinese since ancient times. The situation is the same. They didn't come to provoke us, so we can't take the initiative to provoke them. At that time, we will definitely be targeted by Westerners. You must know that those Westerners all wear a pair of pants. If we don't have a suitable reason, then they will really reject us together." Zheng Hong said.

"Hehe, that's why I asked for this Nanyang Minister." Wang Guorui said very sinisterly.

Wang Guorui knew that with the title of Minister of Nanyang, it would be very helpful for him to seize Nanyang. Of course, it's not that Nanyang ministers have Nanyang in their official titles, but that the Nanyang ministers' official positions are in charge of diplomatic work in various parts of Nanyang, and that's the most important thing. And the position of Minister of Nanyang can give Wang Guorui an excuse, an excuse to intervene in Nanyang. Wang Guorui just needed an excuse, not too many things. Taking the "broken ships" of the Dutch and Spaniards in Asia, Wang Guorui could ask the navy to send them to be the sons-in-law of the Dragon King at any time. (to be continued)
