This is the mainland of China's hinterland, and the colonies in the South Seas are simply incomparable, the Iwan hectares of land in the South Seas are not as good as the 100 hectares of land in China, and if Xuan Yue Meng is willing to pay 10 million taels, it is enough to offset their investment in Hong Kong over the years, and the government will have money, as for the wealth of those British businessmen confiscated by President Meng, the British government will pay at most one-third to one-quarter of the compensation even if it accompanies it, and the government is still willing to do so.Moreover, such an ending would not allow Britain to invest further in the country, and end a war in the Far East with the attitude of a victor, so that Britain could accept it from top to bottom.The French took some credit for this mediation, and in return, the British promised to provide them with some assistance in the recovery of the French domestic economy, and a cruel war that lasted more than half a year came to an end in the losses of China and the Qing court, in short, the Chinese dollar worth 10 million taels of Qing official silver, such a large sum of money, could not be refused.Moreover, President Meng's outstanding management ability has also been recognized by the British, who believe that within two years, the value of 10 million taels of Chinese yuan will be able to be exchanged for materials from the foreign trade operations of Hong Kong and Guangdong, and the British will not be able to sell opium for ten years, so after the British got the news, their attitude was excited and accepted.This poop, President Meng ate it raw, and the Qing court was unwilling to eat it raw, because Li Hongzhang's Huai army had already been assembled, and they were already waiting to transport people from Fujian by sea Why can China dominate the land of the Qing State, isn't this already equivalent to the appearance of the Qing court, which protested, seriously protested, and asked the powers everywhere to make decisions for them, and the organizational meeting of the member countries of the Nanyang Contract was officially held in Guangzhou.President Meng and the British on behalf of the British Commander-in-Chief Lieutenant General Ewan McGregor signed the armistice agreement and the diplomatic documents on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Britain, Britain became the fifth country to recognize China after Japan, the United States, France, Germany, on the same day, more than 30 European and American countries conveyed the will of their governments, hoping to establish diplomatic relations with China from the end of 1871, until this day, was recognized by the international community.On the same day, with Britain, France, China, the Netherlands, and Spain as member states, and Italy, Turkey, etc. as observer countries, the member countries of the Nanyang Treaty were established to join Portugal, and China declared war on Portugal three days after this meeting, and let Portugal withdraw from Macao within a time limit, which was not expected by the countries, but no one spoke for Portugal, and Portugal's strength was no longer enough to occupy a piece of land in China.Portugal had just received a notice of declaration of war, and just about to protest, the First Field Division of the Chinese Army captured Portugal, confiscated the Portuguese ships, and confiscated the Portuguese merchants and materials in Macao.This incident also exacerbated the contradictions of the war in Portugal.The Qing court officially declared war on China, announcing that the armistice agreement signed by President Meng and the Qing court before was invalid Li Hongzhang's Huai army divided into two routes, 20,000 all the way, and went to Danzhou, preparing to attack the place where President Meng started.20,000 all the way, assembled in Fujian, and prepared to contact the green battalions of several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to attack Guangdong.The Qing court didn't really want to fight, they also knew that with the strength of the Qing State alone, it was already difficult to eat Xuan Yuemeng, this was just a strategic situation, with military suppression, with economic suppression, to comprehensively suppress China, without inland support, Guangdong in the hands of President Meng is of little significance.Without the huge market of the Qing Kingdom, relying on the small black of the South Seas, coupled with the trade protection of Europe and the United States, President Meng's industrial development was very slow.President Meng's Guangdong development, still only value Hong Kong, President Meng's strategy is very obvious, is a little strategy, in the northeast is Danzhou, in South China, is Hong Kong and Guangzhou, he does not have the ability to do comprehensive construction, in that case, he will never be able to develop, President Meng is to develop these three cities first, first open the military industry and commercial pipelines to China's resources, even if there is only one place in Guangdong, if you can trade with overseas comprehensively, the economic growth rate is also very terrible.Returned to the Hong Kong Governor's Palace, President Meng, life has returned to normal order His goal at this stage is the steel plant, not only the steelmaking furnace itself, but also a large number of supporting machinery, Hong Kong originally has a steel plant, which is considered a second-level enterprise, a second-level enterprise in this era, can build rails, can almost meet the needs of military production, just a little bit The industrial zone in Guangdong is stepping up construction, but for the sake of speed, the industrial zone in Guangdong is just a copy, and some civilian enterprises in Hong Kong, shipyards, First moved to the Guangzhou Industrial Zone, while the Iron and Steel Mills and Military Factories, the Academy of Sciences, which remained in Hong Kong for the time being, found four high-quality iron mines in Guangdong, so that there would be no problems in the supply of raw materials to the Hong Kong Iron and Steel Works and the Guangzhou Iron and Steel Works.The 100-ton open-hearth steelmaking furnace is already quite awesome in this era, and it is already a steelmaking furnace like a giant.Huaguo industrialists, to do all this, it only took two months "President, after adding the oxygen blowing process, the time is shortened to one-third of the previous one, the general large steel plant, the steelmaking furnace is almost 24 hours a day non-stop operation, reducing two-thirds of the time, it means that the efficiency has been increased by three times, 150 tons of furnace, played a 450 tons of effect, therefore, the daily production capacity of a blast furnace can reach 10 furnaces, the limit can even reach 12 furnaces, representing a blast furnace, It can produce thousands of tons of steel a day, 10, that is, tens of thousands of tons" British engineer Matthew McFellows enthusiastically introduced to President Meng, this guy is now the deputy chief engineer of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.President Meng nodded fixedly, which was expected by President Meng."
It will never be too late to be happy when Mr. produces shells that can imitate the Mauser 1871 rifle and can produce shells for the German Krupp Mountain Gun and the Shore Artillery."
Matthew McFellows smiled sheepishly, "The materials for the imitation Mauser Model 1871 should be soon, but we still have a long way to go to get the steel that can produce shells." ”President Meng nodded and said, "Come on, hard work will pay off, and Huaguo will give a reward to every scientist." ”t1706231537:
