    The heavy rain and haze seem to have dissipated, and Qingdao has been experiencing bright sunshine for several days in a row

    Although the Battle of Qingdao is over, the sound of gunfire has not gone far.  Cai E was already determined to consume more Japanese troops, so shortly after the end of the Qingdao Battle, he urgently deployed the 102nd Guard Division in the direction of Jimo, assisting the 9th and 11th Infantry Divisions to continuously launch attacks on Longkou, while also allowing the 1st and 2nd Infantry Divisions to attack Longkou.  The submarine detachment moved towards the mouth of the Bohai Sea, deliberately exposing itself to third-country merchant ships in broad daylight, in order to intimidate the Japanese navy from entering and exiting the Bohai Sea at will to support Longkou and Jinzhou.  .

    Similarly, the Northeast Theater also seized the opportunity. Chen Huan led the 16th Division, the 14th Division 43rd Brigade, and the 4th Division 10th Brigade in the Shanhaiguan direction to jointly launch an attack on Jinzhou. Otani Kikuzo personally commanded the 21st Brigade and put in the reserve team many times.  However, with Shandong's successive victories, a large number of troops and supplies began to gather at Shanhaiguan, and Otani Hijiuzang's life became increasingly difficult.  As for the Japanese troops from the Fengtian direction, they retreated to Gaizhou in one breath and were unable to retreat. They gave up all the camp entrances they had finally captured and assumed a posture of guarding the north gate of Jinzhou.  Similarly, after repeatedly attacking the Dagusan and Jiuliancheng fortresses in Sinuiju, the Japanese 16th Division simply retreated to the vicinity of the Andong Bridge in an attempt to preserve this strategic passage connecting China and North Korea.

    The battlefield has been basically cleared. The severely damaged 2nd Division and 18th Division are resting on the spot and starting to replenish soldiers. The 103rd Division also suffered a high cost, so it did not participate in the follow-up attack and is resting and recuperating.  On the other hand, Lei Meng, the hob-sword man, disappeared after being released. He led the armored company and chased him all the way to Longkou. If it weren't for the mountainous roads and muddy roads in Longkou area, this guy would have probably washed up directly on the beach.

    The busiest thing these days is the logistics department. Hundreds of captured cannons and machine guns need to be shipped back immediately for repair. Although the rifles do not conform to the standard, there is a war in Europe now. Maybe someone will take a fancy to this batch of goods one day.  Ammunition handling was a headache, and the Shimose gunpowder shells were simply time bombs.  As for food and clothing, just distribute them directly to the victims.  In addition to the seizures, the materials left by the Germans in Qingdao also need to be counted and recorded.  Although the ammunition is almost exhausted, there are still many mines, railway supporting factories and more than 32 locomotives and 160 wagons along the Jiaoji Railway.  Including Qingdao Shipyard, Sulfur Plant and more than a dozen German companies that even Japan is jealous of, most of their machinery and equipment have been preserved due to early warning. There is also the former Austro-Hungarian Empire Queen Elisabeth armored cruiser, which has been officially renamed Qingdao to commemorate the Battle of Qingdao.  And 6 gunboats and torpedo destroyers, 2 naval transport ships, and 3 engineering ships need to be registered.

    There are also plans to salvage the sunken Japanese warships in the outer sea. Except for the Iwami, which is definitely beyond repair, the other three navy ships are waiting eagerly to be salvaged to see the damage.  Even if the above 8-door 305, 4-door 254, 4-door 203, 46-door 152, 12-door 120, 42-door 76, 39-door 47 and 37 rapid-fire, there are still about 30 doors

    Several other artillery pieces and heavy machine guns can be immediately used for shore defense or directly mounted on large destroyers under construction.  What's more, there are 16 generators, nearly a hundred boilers and several large steam engines. They are all treasures and can solve the urgent needs of many domestic factories!  Not to mention the large optical sighting equipment used on warships.  That's a good thing that you can't even buy now.  Even if it's worse, it's still thousands of tons of copper and a full 50,000 tons of high-quality armor steel, which can be used to make special military equipment including gun barrels with a little processing.  ""

    Pop-up window

    Therefore, the navy generals Sa Zhenbing and Liu Guanxiong rushed over to check the situation in person as soon as they heard the news. In order to strengthen the Qingdao Fortress, which suffered huge losses, the navy gritted its teeth and squeezed out military expenditures to order cement from various domestic cement plants.  With 10,000 tons of cement, 10 coastal defense heavy guns with a caliber exceeding 200 mm were dismantled from Jinjishan in Jiangxi, Guangdong, Fujian and other places.  It also hired fortress engineering experts from the German army to build a fortified seaport city with 24 heavy guns, 36 150mm and 120mm coastal cannons and other auxiliary artillery, as one of the navy's future northern bases.

    Cities and factories need to be repaired, fortresses are even more urgent, and naval bases are also on the agenda. Everyone seems to be very busy all of a sudden. Even when walking, they have to grab a few winds and stuff them into their pockets. Only Yang Qiu seems free.  A lot.

    The Qingdao Governor's Mansion became his temporary residence.  This three-story European-style garden house built in 1899 is large in scale, with a total of 38 rooms and a garage. Unfortunately, Miao Luo and Ruiyao have been participating in the medical team these past few days, so they are too tired to hang out.  But the two of them were in equally good moods, sitting together chatting and laughing.  As soon as Yang Qiu entered the room, he heard laughter. The lines at the corners of his mouth softened a little. Only then did he realize that they hadn't even exchanged a few words with him since they arrived in Beijing, and he felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.  .

    Seeing him come in, Rui Yao blushed, stared, and ran out. Miao Luo laughed when he saw this.

    "What were you talking about just now? What's so funny?" Yang Qiu pretended not to know.  He hung his hat on the wall, took her hand and asked: "You must be exhausted these days, how about I go and talk to them?"?Tell me to rest for a few days.  "Miao Luo also gouged out his eyes. It seemed to say, "You just remembered to care about us now." He smiled and said, "Senior sister was still counting your ships just now, and was asking me what to do next.  I don¡¯t know much about shipping, so I asked her to ask you and said I¡¯m sorry.  "

    "What's so embarrassing about this?" Yang Qiu didn't notice the pause in his words, and then he remembered the ocean-going ships he had exchanged for Sulfa and Traun, and asked: "I really forgot about this, how much is the total?"  Ship?"

    Miao Luo chuckled and said angrily: "I have never seen you so confused about important matters." After speaking, he took out the list from the bag, sat beside him and introduced the windfall to him: "There are 28 ships in total, and one ship is 2  10,000-ton oil and water ships, 10 10,000-ton ocean-going ships, and 5 ocean-going ships with a weight of more than 5,000 tons, and the rest are small ships of two to three thousand tons. However, the senior sister said that the people she has now simply cannot operate so many ships at the same time.  But I don¡¯t want to be delayed by soaking in the sea, so I¡¯m in a hurry.¡±

    ?? 28 ships can form a large shipping company even if they are placed in the United States. This is something that I never dared to think about before, but I didn¡¯t expect that Germany would hand it over so easily.  So even Miao Luo smiled until his eyes turned into crescent moons, his dark eyebrows were particularly beautiful, and even Yang Qiu was a little stunned.  It wasn't until Miao Luo rolled his eyes that he stretched himself: "Those who are above five thousand will be kept for the time being, and the roads paved earlier in Nanyang can be used. Now Europe and the United States are shrinking severely, and Japan is being held back here, and those over there are  Shipping is basically blank. We need to seize this market as soon as possible. In addition to Nanyang, we can also contact British and French foreign companies to help them transport the purchased ore resources back to Europe. This is the bulk now. As for the rest, sell them all."

    "Sold? What a pity." After marrying Yang Qiu, Miao Luo was used to big spenders, but she was still a little reluctant to sell all the ships: "Senior sister also wants to expand the Yangtze River and coastal inland waterway shipping business."

    Yang Qiu smiled and took her hand, carefully caressing it, and said: "We don't have to do everything ourselves. Domestic shipping has been controlled by Britain, France and Japan for many years. If we finally have the opportunity, we should step up our time to cultivate a group of ship merchants.  . In the past, ships were expensive and there were not many people with the ability to operate them. But now that these low-priced ships are introduced to the market, they can attract a group of people. Even our seagoing ships have to be divided into two companies, one is made by itself. The other  While we are doing it, we will find ways to list and issue shares, and then sell the company when it is stable."

    His words made Miao Luo frown slightly. After a moment, his eyes lit up like a child, revealing two shallow dimples: "I know! There are not many big merchants in China that can operate shipping now, and shipping has begun  The investment is huge. The person who takes over after we sell the stable business that we listed will be able to avoid early-stage risks, and we can raise funds to continue building new ocean-going ships by selling it. No wonder Xu Xiujun came to see me last time in Wuchang  He said that he wanted to know how many controlling shares you held in Hanyang and Chongqing. He said that you asked him to prepare for the listing of two group companies. Do you want to wait until after the listing to raise money to build a third and fourth company? This way, you can tide over the industry.  After the investment period, which is the hardest and most expensive to build, they can be resold. Repeatedly, one factory can become two, and two can become four. In a dozen years, there will be many big entrepreneurs like the United States in the country.  Yes!" Miao Luo's pretty face was excited, but after she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that Yang Qiu was staring directly at him. She thought she had made a mistake and asked timidly: "Did I make a mistake?"

    She made a mistake and became a roundworm in Yang Qiu's stomach.  This method was something Yang Qiu came up with after thinking for a long time. After all, he was not an expert in economics and industrial construction, and in an era when the country lacked sufficient capital.  The huge investment in industry, especially heavy industry, in the early stage is unimaginable. This is why in the parallel world, during the stable years of the Republic of China, it was basically light industry with small investment and quick results. Even the government did not dare to get involved in heavy industry. It is not that they did not know the benefits of heavy industry.  , but no one dared to throw money into it.

    For example, including the exchange of technology and equipment with Germany several times, the total joint investment of the two major industrial groups in Hanyang and Chongqing has exceeded 300 million yuan. This is a price that not only individuals but also the government dare not take lightly.  So Yang Qiu's idea is to take advantage of the recent crazy money-making opportunities in his own industry and use the listing to pool domestic idle funds and spend it himself.  Wait until the investment period, which is the most expensive, has passed.  After establishing a stable sales channel, package it and sell it, so that the people who take over will be much less stressed.  Even if some of them are not managed well, the skeleton is unlikely to be lost. At worst, the government will buy it back when the time comes. At least the basic industry and the workforce can grow.

    After all, he is so eager to improve the basic industry or he wants to maximize the role of the data machine in his arms. Even if the current industrial capacity is low, he can still imitate so many advanced weapons. If there is a complete industrial system like Germany, he can cope with a world war.  What is there to fear about super war?

    So when Miao Luo revealed all his thoughts at once, he was also surprised.  Maybe it wouldn't be a big deal if she were a woman who knew a little bit about financial operations in the future, but now she couldn't help but reached out and scratched her nose naughtily, and said with a smile: "I was thinking"?Fortunately, I acted more aggressively that night, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t have such a handsome and smart wife.  "

    "Hateful! I knew you did it on purpose." Miao Luo's ears still feel hot when he thinks of what happened the night he was injured.  Before Qian Qianbai rolled her eyes and continued speaking, Yang Qiu had already taken her into his arms.  But before he could feel it, there was a slight cough at the door of Yiniao. Miao Luo was so frightened that he quickly pushed him away and turned around, pretending to fix his hair.

    Yang Qiu raised his head and found Yang Du and Jiang Baili standing outside with pursed lips. He stood up and asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

    Yang Du knew what was going on and snickered: "What Madam said just now is enlightening. It turns out that the industry can still operate like this. I really admire it." After he finished speaking, he deliberately bowed to Miao Luo, making Jiang Baili next to him couldn't help but laugh.  : "Brother Xizi, aren't you clearly telling the Vice President that you are listening to the wall?"

    Hearing the words "Qiang Gen", Lian Miao Luo blushed even more and hurriedly hid in the inner room. Yang Qiu glared at Jiang Baili angrily: "Brother Baili, you didn't come to do this with Brother Xizi, right?"

    Jiang Baili waved his hand quickly: "Fang Zhen doesn't dare to disturb you, but someone said that he hopes to see you immediately."

    "Oh, who is it?"

    "American Minister Dou Maile and Commercial Counselor Hangel." Yang Du stopped joking when it came to business matters and said, "It seems to be about the draft. I was receiving them in front of the official." After that, he and Jiang Baili agreed.  With a wink: "Just now, both the President and the Prime Minister sent telegrams asking you to consider this draft for the first time. They said that all the situations are now favorable to me, and Britain, the United States, France and Russia have expressed their willingness to mediate. Previously, Wang Zhengting also came from St. Petersburg  Sent back a telegram, he and Lu Zhengxiang had begun discussions with the Russian government on matters such as signing the Northern Peace Agreement and recognizing Mongolia and Xinjiang as indivisible territories of our country. However, yesterday the Russian Minister said that the premise for continuing the talks is that we must immediately withdraw this agreement.  draft."

    Yang Qiu had thought of this situation when he came up with this draft for forced recovery of the concession. If the draft is passed after Britain and France work for a few days, then no one can guarantee whether there will be a draft for forced recovery of the British and French concession. Although they are not afraid of this.  It involves national face issues.  So after Yang Du finished speaking, he immediately asked, "Brother Xizi also thinks this draft is bad?"

    After Yang Du sharpened his head and came to the National Society, he regained a lot of his previous free and easy attitude. He admired: "What does it matter if you take back a draft that has not been discussed yet? What is important is that Vice President, you threw the stone very accurately."  That¡¯s great, I believe now the four countries know that our bottom line is that we must take back all Japanese concessions and waste all previous treaties.¡±

    "Taiwan and Ryukyu are too difficult. Before the navy is strong, it is basically impossible to threaten the two places. Therefore, it is particularly important to get back all the mainland concessions and abolish the Shimonoseki Treaty." Yang Qiu knew that he could see through his intentions, and took a long breath to see.  Xiang Baili: "Is there any news from Japan?"

    Jiang Baili found out that Yang Qiu originally wanted to set the tone for the following negotiations by throwing out this draft. He couldn't help but feel funny that he had worried in vain for a few days, but he also felt that he had become more and more arbitrary recently.  But it was difficult for him to talk about it, and he didn¡¯t want to get involved in politics, so he simply pretended not to have heard about it and said: ¡°Although the Japanese government has blocked the news internally, it can¡¯t contain the news for a few days, so the news of the defeat will definitely  Spread. From the current signs, it seems that they are not ready to compromise. Yamagata Aritomo sent two confidants to see Emperor Taisho a few days ago to demand that the military be given greater power to fight to the end. The Navy is also mobilizing and even the First Fleet has begun  Add coal and get ready."

    "Fight to the death? Huh! It's just paving a way out for yourself!" Yang Qiu snorted coldly from his nose and said coldly: "I hope he will still have the heart to fight to the end in three days."

    What will happen in three days?  Yang Du quickly went to see Jiang Baili, but the latter also looked confused and shook his head.
