Chapter 115: Crisis is Opportunity

After ending his week-long visit to the State of Israel, Zheng Yu's special train arrived in Hanoi via the Annan Railway and began his inspection of Annan Province.

The former northern part of Annan, as well as Shangliao, Xialiao and Luang Prabang, have now unified into Annan Province and have accepted a large number of Chinese immigrants.

As the old base where Zhengying Town started, Annan Province in this era was already one of the very developed regions in China. With the help of superior natural conditions, Annan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan and Guizhou formed an economic region, with Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou as the depth, Annan and Guangdong as the dual cores. In the past, the Hue Jewish Autonomous Region, the State of Israel is now the wings, radiating to the entire Southeast Asia and echoing overseas Chinese. Annan already plays an important role in this economic circle.

As the earliest China to promote basic education, especially to absorb a large number of progressive young people in mainland China who yearned for modern civilization and defected to revolution during the Zhenzhao era. Based on economic strength, Annan has begun to promote nine-year compulsory education, unified Chinese teaching, a new education system, and vigorously teach English and German, and starts to take Israeli electives from high school.

In Laos, Shangliao, Xialiao and other places, which were originally in a near-primitive state, modern industrial and commercial civilization gradually changed the local landscape with the help of rapidly extending highways, railways and waterways. The influx of a large number of Chinese immigrants has rapidly changed the local population structure and brought about modern civilization.

Under this irresistible impact, the local culture in the primitive stage was quickly swallowed up, and the long-term awe of the Central Plains regime in China also gave the two sides a great buffer and a common emotional bond.

Integrate in development, in conflict and cooperation.

Annan Haifang is one of China's most important shipbuilding bases. It focuses on shipbuilding and has a series of metallurgy, building materials, chemicals, electrical and other industries. It has even built a new tire factory to provide supporting facilities for Guangzhou's automobile industry. Annan is also an important rubber production area, tobacco production area, sucrose production area, rice production area, and one of the hubs for shipping and freight transportation in Southeast Asia, connecting the transit between the headquarters of China and the Jewish state and the French Annan colony.

Zheng Yu quickly gave the local business community a reassurance: China's economic development will not stagnate. The Imperial government is taking measures to deal with the crisis, and the Navy's orders will not only not be cut, but will also be further added. Royal Bank will not continue to shrink credit, and will surely ensure the economy is worry-free in the future.

We headed north along the railway, first to Kunming, met with leading figures of all ethnic groups, listened to opinions and suggestions. We accepted the "Suggestion Letter" on the spot, and then Guangzhou, and began to investigate Guangdong's social, political and economic issues, visit factories, mines and rural areas, meet celebrities from all walks of life, and deliver speeches.

Although it was still a little difficult to understand, seeing this man so calm, Guangdong officials and parliamentarians, who were originally like hot pot and ant, breathed some helplessly.

However, Beijing can't stand it anymore.

In terms of the cabinet, Tang Shaoyi led the team and all cabinet members jointly generated electricity. The emperor asked to "return to Beijing quickly to preside over the country."

Zheng Yu's call back was also very simple: "The southern inspection has just been halfway through, so it is not advisable to give up halfway. The state affairs are complicated, and it is impossible to make a sudden conclusion if it is not just a single person's strength... I investigate the situation in the south, and I am considering the future of the country. All of you are the pillars of the country, and I am responsible for the responsibility of the people. I need to sign major documents, so I can send a letter to come..."

The cabinet couldn't figure out what the man was doing at the moment, and when he looked like a big show of things, he had to start thinking about making moves.

A series of previous measures were wasted, and under the strong pressure of public opinion and Congress, the cabinet had to consider more radical measures and submit electricity to the emperor for review.

Before this, only a small number of suggestions came from the "Emperor Headquarters" in the south: stop the exit of precious metals, establish a bank re-guarantee company, and start to formulate bank savings re-guarantee methods, and the intraday limit on the exchange's rise and fall limit was narrowed to +-10%. In addition, contact Germany immediately to stabilize bilateral trade orders, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should step up communication with Britain, France and the United States to clarify the attitudes of various countries.

The cabinet has no objection, so follow it immediately.

But this one is still the same next: from Guangzhou to Changsha to Wuhan, then upstream to Chongqing, then to Chengdu, then Xi'an, and then all the way east.

During this period, the emperor who had been looking forward to it was still lingering in Chengdu for many days.

This is not because he wants to eat Sichuan cuisine or is nostalgic for Sichuan girls, but mainly because something happened in Latin America.

Juan Gomez, Vice President and Commander-in-Chief of the Army, established contacts with the Chinese Empire government as early as before the Asian War, and appointed special envoy Dias to reach a secret agreement with China: China provides funds, personnel, weapons and diplomatic support to help Gomez launch a coup to expel the Venezuelan president, and also Gomez's old boss, Castro.

After the Asian War, in view of the rapid evolution of the international situation, Zheng Yu decided to maintain a relatively close cooperative relationship with the United States for a certain period of time. Especially the then-President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt had a strong tendency to expand and had a tough attitude. China had to re-measure Venezuela priorities and repeatedly asked Gomez to "wait patiently for the opportunity."

In January 1910, when theodore Roosevelt was gone, he had already gone to Africa for an adventure, and there was no news in the tropical rainforest. His successor Taft had been tortured by the financial and economic crisis and had no time to care about it. He saw that the invincible naval marshal of China commanded a "peace fleet" from China to the South Ocean, then went to the west coast of the United States, and then went south along the coastline to visit Mexico, South America, and had arrived in Buenos Aires. Gomez was sure that his opportunity had come.

After a nearly bloodless mutiny, Gomez controlled the army, including his "Nighthawk Security Company", which was actually a private armed force secretly trained by military service companies composed of retired Chinese Marine Corps, controlled the situation in Venezuela. President Castro "voluntarily announced" his resignation and "confidently handed over Venezuela to the highly capable Vice President Gomez."

The "successful revolution" Venezuelan new President Gomez almost couldn't wait to ask countries to give recognition, and contact Beijing through secret channels, demanding diplomatic recognition and even providing military protection. Beijing immediately contacted Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu stayed in Chengdu for a full half month, and after some urgent measures, he basically sorted out the matter and temporarily calmed down all aspects. The rest of the matter depends on Xu Fan.

After walking along the way, Zheng Yu struggled until mid-March to return to Beijing in a storm.

When I heard that the emperor returned to Beijing, a large number of citizens spontaneously rushed to the railway station and took to the streets to welcome the young powerful man.

At this time, even the most radical liberals had to admit that this country was still inseparable from such a strong will and strong wrists.

night.

The Palace of China.

The flowers bloom several times. A small separation is better than the newlywed couple hugging each other tightly. Liu Ziye buried her head deeply in her husband's arms. The blush on her face had not subsided, and her eyes were half-closed.

"You have been out for more than half a year. Now your child is almost two years old. I haven't received a call from you for a day and I can't hear your voice. I don't know why I kissed you so much..."

Zheng Yu smiled and said, "It's my nature to be a father and son... Are you not satisfied with your son kissing me? You are even jealous of this? You said you have a broad mind..."

Liu Ziye gently pinched her husband's strong belly muscles, bit her little mouth that was arched on her husband's chest, and then stuck out her tongue to lick her. Zheng Yu's body trembled slightly and immediately begged for mercy: "Okay, can I be wrong?...you come again."

"You're just a bad guy, who knows if you're doing something outside..."

"Hey, so many people follow me. Who am I doing things randomly..."

"You said..." Liu Ziye pinched him hatefully, "The Qin sister has never been married, and others told her that Kazuya also said she was working. I think she has been waiting for you... I heard that you two...huh."

"Don't, don't tell me about her." Zheng Yu touched his temple in pain, "I told you a long time ago that I really have no relationship with her..."

"It's because I don't have me."

"Hmm?" Zheng Yu was stunned, "Why?"

"If you really have something, you marry me, you will express your opinion. But the problem is that you two have nothing." Liu Ziye bit her lip, "It's dangerous. What if you two have something in the future..."

Zheng Yu was helpless about the occasional strange talk that his wife had appeared, so he had to haha: "The children are so old..."

"You can do it." Liu Ziye spat, "I think you just dislike others who are older than you."

"How could I dislike her..."

"Look. You said you were nothing to do with her." Liu Ziye pinched him again and said hatefully, "To be honest now, are you? You actually like others in your heart, just..."

“…”

Zheng Yu sighed and stopped talking.

Liu Ziye waited for a long time, and saw the man looking at the ceiling with bright eyes. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"

"I miss you women. I really don't know what you are thinking about every day."

"Okay, I'm just kidding you. I haven't seen anyone for half a year, and I don't know how to coax others." Liu Ziye laughed and stroked her husband's cheek. After a while, his voice turned low, "You don't know how much people miss you..."

"I'm not not coaxing me." Zheng Yu said seriously, "but I'm used to using my body and without words."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, the refreshing emperor finished his morning exercise. After breakfast, he began to meet all the trusted people staying in Beijing, listened to reports one by one, and reviewed urgent documents. At noon and evening, he had to eat with his wife and children. At night, he had to play in the baby hall with the children crawling around the ground until dark.

The General Office of the Prime Minister's Office called the phone number of his request to see him many times, and the answers in the palace were "His Majesty the Emperor is dealing with urgent matters."

However, it is strange that since the emperor returned to Beijing, the turbulent stock market has stabilized and even started to rebound. There are many less news on the market, including trade unions, farmers' associations, youth leagues, schools, and citizen groups, and some restless situations.

Everyone is looking forward to this person who can once again cleverly lead the people out of the predicament as he turned the tide four years ago, led the country to win the national war, and then developed the economy with social fairness and the other hand, so that the living conditions of the people will be greatly improved in just a few years, and the social, political and cultural atmosphere will be rapidly progressing, and once again cleverly led the people out of the current predicament.

No one is sure, what will happen to this young man who doesn't play as usual, but every time it's unexpected and always succeeds.

But everyone believes that this man, like his father, is a man who can change history and create miracles.

------------

"I actually did a lot of things, but I just didn't put them on the counter."

I reviewed the documents in the morning. In the afternoon, I met with all kinds of people all day, and accompanied the child for a while in the evening. I finally gave the child who was exhausted to my mother and coaxed him to bed and closed the door. Zheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and began to face his wife's questions.

Liu Ziye hugged her husband's neck and said a little aggrievedly: "I also said I could let others perform. As a result, I could only read the information for so long, listen to your discussion, and I didn't do any actual work for others..."

Liu Ziye knew that this husband was very tolerant in his private life and also knew his personality. After marriage, he was restrained by his family for more than ten years and vented his feelings. He often acted half-joking and half-seriously. Zheng Yu also knew that although his wife was old, she actually had a Oedipus complex in her bones, so she followed her when they were alone.

"Isn't this the child too young?" Zheng Yu rubbed his wife's cover door, which made the girl blush and then stopped.

"Okay, actually this time I'm going to arrange for you to take over some of the business gradually." Zheng Yu looked at Liu Ziye and said seriously, "But you still have to pass my test."

Liu Ziye immediately became energetic and sorted out his somewhat messy hair: "If you want to ask, just take the exam."

"If you were me," Zheng Yu asked slowly. "How would you deal with the crisis in front of you?"

"Just like when the late emperor was there, loose currency, loose finance, cut interest rates, inject funds into the banking system, expand government spending, and stop free exchange of hard currency, and actually depreciate the currency to expand exports." Liu Ziye said without hesitation. "In addition, you can also raise wages for civil servants to stimulate consumption. Agricultural products that cannot be sold by farmers are acquired by the state strategically and reserved. In terms of the stock market, lower the stamp duty rate. In addition, you must provide limit guarantees for bank deposits according to your bank reinsurance plan, just like Xu Shuai did in Japan after Japan surrendered."

"Yeah." Zheng Yu nodded, "That's all?"

"It's almost done." Liu Ziye was completely indifferent to the previous appearance of Xiaobi's relying on others, and had a capable look. "If there are other external arrangements in addition to these internal national policies, I think you asked them to contact various countries, which should be to avoid raising tariffs by harming their neighbors, or taking risks to launch a war to transfer the crisis."

"Not bad." Zheng Yu looked at his beautiful wife and felt more and more like he had found a treasure. "It's not in vain that I've spent so much effort... But since it's so simple, why didn't I do it early?"

Liu Ziye's eyes drooped slightly and hesitated, "You...you want them all to come and beg you."

Zheng Yu stared at her for a while, shook his head: "You... Why do you think so?"

When Liu Ziye heard this, his heart felt inexplicably painful and couldn't help but hug her husband, as if he was afraid that the person would suddenly disappear from him: "I said casually... Then why did you say it?"

"Actually, I have been waiting for this crisis." Zheng Yu's words made Liu Ziye look up in shock, "China should have really experienced an economic crisis!"

------------------

"The Rockets are about to shoot out."

Imperial Study Room of the Chinese Palace.

Zheng Yu stared at Ma Chaoyang: "Are you sure this is the best choice at the moment?"

"The results of the current comprehensive intelligence analysis, after several groups of deductions, are the best choices." Ma Chaoyang said frankly, "All the measures, achievements made by the empire in the last economic crisis, and even the tangible achievements in the past few decades have made everything clear: this fiscal and financial system can help the country overcome the difficulties of the economic crisis to a great extent and persevere until prosperity comes again. Currently, the Cambridge Department of Economics, London School of Political Science and Economics, the Department of Economics of the United Kingdom, the Department of Economics of Harvard University in the United States, and the Humboldt University of Berlin, and the world economy are analyzing our effective economic management and counter-cyclical regulation in a long and long way."

"Although, as you analyzed, perhaps in the medium and long term, all this may often turn into drinking poison to quench thirst, we can no longer stop other countries from trying to replicate our previous success in such despair." Ma Chaoyang said, "More importantly, all this is in line with the progressive movement that has become increasingly popular in the United States over the past 30 years, and the 'new nationalism' wave set off by Theodore Roosevelt. We are powerless to stop and cannot artificially reverse the direction of history."

Zheng Yu knew that Ma Chaoyang was telling the truth.

He can use his knowledge beyond the times, his unparalleled financial resources, and use the Chinese economic power that has been rooted in the United States since the Zheng Ying era to fight for a lot of benefits. He can also influence some specific decisions of the United States to a certain extent through the American consortium with which they have complex interest relations, but he cannot truly change the evolution of a country like the United States.

If you want to gain something, you can only follow the trend and take action with caution.

"Under the current situation, we can only follow the flow and strive to lead things to a relatively favorable orbit for us. Rockets have been cultivated for a long time, and he and his friends will sincerely promote this plan to transform the United States. But all this requires cultural soil and economic foundation. In the social environment of the United States, facing deeply rooted traditional forces, this cannot be implemented. When the United States falls into new chaos and panic, the ambitious torchbearer will take the opportunity to play the trump card and grab the fruit... But the final ace in the hands of Blue Sword, and the whole situation will be settled at that time."

"Blue Sword... do you think he is reliable enough?"

"It's reliable enough. Because he's a Jew, and a German," said Ma Chaoyang. "As a German, especially Jacob Schiff's cronies, he knew very well what he meant in the United States... It would be easier if we want to destroy him. And as a Jew, he's loyal to interests."

"We gave him something he could not refuse: mastering a country's central bank." Ma Chaoyang continued, "it could even influence several presidents. His family would become one of the most prominent families on Wall Street. What else did he ask for?"

"For us, as long as we are willing to pay the price, we can destroy their brothers at any time. He knows this very well."!~!
