Chapter 621
"Have you heard that my Royal Navy is about to fight the hegemonic Liao Kingdom's navy!"
"Really... has this day finally arrived! The millions of armies of the two countries in the northern land have not yet confronted each other, so the navy is going to fight in advance?"
"It is difficult to build a country. I hope General Chen will support the situation of the Pacific War. I heard that the Shuzhou has left the port after the maintenance, and more newly-suspended warships in the Royal Navy have also left the port one after another. They will focus on the Namatai and the Garo waters, respectively, to prevent the Liao people, Jurchen people and Goryeo people from exporting to the mainland island."
"The situation is critical! The Liao Kingdom is too large, and its slavery also has a natural advantage in mobilization cost. They are not as good as our Song Dynasty, but they can make up for it in quantity. The latest news is that from Liao Kingdom, they come to Zhou, Jinzhou, Chenzhou, and Suzhou, they are working at full capacity to produce, while requisitioning all civilian ships for modification at all costs, organized nearly 200 warships, and continued to deploy to the Hu Island waters of the state of the state. This is a fatal pressure on our Royal Navy!"
"Yes, it's basically certain. The Battle of Zhouhu Island is the center and climax of the Pacific War, which almost determines the life and death of Japan! Once my Royal Navy was defeated and the Liao Kingdom was fully involved, the landing of the zombie army on Japan could no longer be stopped."
"Damn it, you can't say something nice. The Royal Navy of the Song Dynasty cannot be defeated. If you can't beat it, you can run away! Their warships are the fastest ships in the East China Sea!"
"However, it is not. In theory, if the ship is suitable and under a tailwind situation with a specific wind, there are ships with a speed larger than our naval frigate. I heard that the Liao craftsmen specially modified it for this."
"My Royal Navy is under great pressure and must wait for the battleships to serve. The result of the first Battle of Izumo Island is beautiful because the Goryeo is a proud soldier and is not prepared. In addition, they only have more than 20 warships equipped with artillery, and the number of artillery is urgent. But now, it is no joke that the Liao Kingdom is targeted to intervene. Although their artillery quality is poor, all ships have artillery."
There is no wind and waves, and the people’s comments are not groundless.
In fact, in addition to being a time of life and death on land, it is also a time for the most pressure on the navy. After summarizing all the news, the naval battle of the state Hu Island has been authorized by the Shufu, and it must be fought.
In a hurry, the Great Demon King did not expect the Royal Navy to fully withstand the front line of the Hu Island in Zhou, but he had to use tactics and speed to form a soil environment that would restrain the Liao Navy, try to slow down their exports to the Japanese islands, delay the speed of Japan's fall, and try to avoid the scale of the Song army's landing operations in the future.
At the same time, the reason why the Great Demon King authorized the Battle of Zhouhu Island in an unfavorable situation was to strategically use that place as a reservoir for flood discharge. It is better to delay the tug-of-war in that place than to be harassed by the Liao Navy, the important coastal towns along the Song Dynasty.
Even if the Liao Kingdom is not dominated by the navy, it is still painful if several major coastal towns are harassed by them. It is definitely not like Guangxi's itch.
In addition to authorizing the Royal Navy to participate in the Battle of Hu Island, the Great Demon King sent special envoys to Suzhou, Mingzhou, Haizhou, Dengzhou, and Beijing Daming Prefecture to inject chicken blood into five shipyards, demanding to accelerate production and mobilize production with twelve points of strength to prepare for the decisive battle of the Pacific War.
Among them, the first generation of heavy battleships constructed by Beijing Shipyard and Haizhou Shipyard can be slowed down, but Cao Ji and Ye Wushuang's shipyards received orders for frigate, which require the fastest output.
About frigate.
With the current manufacturing volume and design strength of their two companies, their respective shipyards have their own plans. Because they are latecomers and have references to naval data, their plans are even better than those of state-owned shipyards. This is not technology but latecomers' advantages.
But it has not been approved by the Industrial Department. The rules and technologies of the Great Devil are not as new as possible. The new solutions will inevitably bring delays in production. Now that the old version of the solution can be considered stable and tolerant, the process is fixed, which can be used to quickly assemble the line operation, and can also second technicians from old factories of state-owned enterprises to provide support to increase production capacity.
Therefore, the new version of the frigate plan of Ye Wushuang and Cao Ji was only left as a technical reserve, but no order was obtained. The Great Demon King only placed several frigates in each factory, so that they could take them out in batches as quickly as possible.
And these warships were built by them with their own loans.
This made the two major unscrupulous merchants helpless. But even if they don’t regard this as a political task, they must do it. Because even for conventional commercial operations, they already have many examples of doing this. They can’t just take advantage of the situation at critical moments just because the country’s money is easy to make.
So in this arms negotiation, Empress Cao took the lead and called her brother to the harem to slap her ears a few times, and stipulated that he had to agree, so my uncle compromised.
Since my uncle has betrayed the "businessman's position", Ye Wushuang has to follow up. Otherwise, if she doesn't follow up, it would be like Cao Ji eating all the naval military cakes. This means that the Ye family is out and will never catch up with Cao Ji in the shipbuilding industry.
Afterwards, Cao Ji went to the center to ask for the big devil and complained, "You are really enough to cheat the goods. After killing the coal yard group, it seems like you are good. Or is it that 50% of the equity in your coal yard has been sold without you knowing it?"
The Great Demon King shook his head slightly: "The equity is still there, there is no pledge or change. But as you wish, I plan to give up these equity and donate them to Sansi as state-owned shares."
At that time, Cao Ji couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of tea, and stood up excitedly and said, "There is no problem for you to give it to me, but who can't give it to me?"
The great devil chuckled and said, "You should wash your hair and wait. Are you my son or my gay friend? I'm so full that I give you?"
"As long as you give it to me or transfer it to me at a low price, there is no problem with me calling you godfather." Cao Ji answered at that time.
Of course this is just a joke. If she really does this, she will definitely be killed by her sister checking the water meter.
Xiao Cao also understood that the Great Demon King was not generous. His pursuit was no longer on these things, otherwise he would not have given up his management rights back then. Regarding money, in terms of the Great Demon King's daily life, the salary of an intermediate technical employee in a large private enterprise is enough to spend the Great Demon King.
What's more, the great devil basically doesn't need to spend money. The great devil's salary will not be collected from the Ministry of Revenue for ten years. His family of four is basically dependent on his parents and eats Wang Anshi. In this case, as a top politician, for his reputation and political needs, Cao Ji also felt that he was no longer suitable to have such a wealth.
Accumulating such a fortune is just to enjoy the process, not that he needs this money. For example, when playing cards together, even if the bet is only a penny, the Great Demon King wants to get the flush in a crazy way.
"I understand your intentions, but I think after doing this, you will be beaten to death by your mother. Isn't it okay to keep it for your son Wang Xiaobai?" Cao Ji persuaded him at that time.
The great devil shook his head slightly and said, "There will be something left to Wang Xiaobai, but he doesn't need so much money. This is for his own good. My career has brought too much hatred. As my son, he does not have my fortitude and means, nor does he have as thick political armor as I do. So in the future, he will continue to hold a large amount of equity in the national strategic lifeline industry as a foolish young man. That will happen. People are more likely to know themselves and match the heights of their ability. If he is me, I will leave these equity to her, but he is not. He owns these equity in these strategic lifelines, which is equivalent to a three-year-old child ascending the throne to become an emperor. There are many examples of what happens."
Cao Ji had no choice but to agree with his theory.
Moreover, Cao Ji was also considering himself. When he heard these words, he couldn't help feeling a little desolate, but the Great Demon King never made ineffective deployments. These really have these hidden dangers.
After savoring the painstaking efforts of the Great Demon King for a long time, Cao Ji also had a premonition of the serious problem: according to the Great Demon King's free and easy attitude, he would inevitably return the power to Zhao Zongshi at some point, and even more so, Zhao Zongshi was bullied by Cao Ji when he was young, and he didn't know whether his queen sister could survive forever?
So Cao Ji really understood the rhythm of the Great Demon King.
As a result, Cao Ji also reluctantly gave up his love, followed the footsteps of the great devil, and made a statement with the equity situation of the coal yard and donated 10 million yuan to the three departments of the court in the national crisis. This was not only to please the commander-in-chief of the National War, the Great Devil, in exchange for his future care, but also to apologize to Zhao Zongshi.
Cao Ji knew very well that apologizing when Zhao Zongshi was not in power was completely different from apologizing after he was in power.
The Great Demon King has used his own actions to name "People are more important to know themselves". This is his approach to protecting his old friends. If he can't understand it, something will happen if the political situation changes in the future.
At this point, Cao Ji was really convinced and felt that the cost of this ten million was worth it. He didn't say it clearly, but this was the first time Cao Ji was grateful to the great devil from the bottom of his heart, and felt that he really took on the word "loyalty and loyalty".
These are the things that happened when the Song Dynasty was facing difficulties, and are not known to many others.
In the first three rows of circles, Zhao Zongshi felt very proud of this, admired the great devil's mind, and felt relieved. Because the aide said to Zhao Zongshi privately: "Your Highness is worry-free. Such a free and easy devil is equivalent to an announcement that he will return the power to you at the right time."
In addition to the recognition from the queen and prince, Wu Qiong's mother finally fainted in the bathroom. This was a big spoiled act she had never seen before.
But it was highly praised by Wang Anshi and Zhao Xu (Zhao Zongshi's son). They also admitted that the Great Demon King was inappropriate on some issues, but no matter what, the Great Demon King did to the Song Dynasty was enough.
Yes, it is no surprise that Wang Rong was a prime minister and grand tutor who was temporarily centralized. So when Zhao Xu was already admiring Wang Anshi, the prince Zhao Zongshi personally visited Wang Anshi three times to persuade Wang Anshi, and asked Zhao Xu to take Wang Anshi as his teacher and receive influence.
Zhao Zongshi has two purposes for this. The first is of course to please the Wang family. Although the Great Demon King and Wang Anshi sometimes have a big difference, they are father and son after all.
In addition, Wang Anshi is indeed a rare example of knowledge and behavior in this era, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a master. As a father, no one doesn’t want to hire such a teacher for his son.
History has its own trajectory, and the great devil is powerless to complain about these things. The encounter between his eldest king and the next emperor Zhao Xu finally began. In the near future, Wang Anshi's era will inevitably come. The great devil does not want to stop such a process, nor can he stop it.
Because if you want to stop something right, you must do "wrong". The Great Demon King claims that he had a little flaw when he was young and frivolous, he fought for the Song Dynasty in his life for tens of thousands of miles, and countless battles were all battles of loyalty and righteousness. In the end, he did not want to go against his original intention.
"Let him go, my service to the Song Dynasty will be completed soon."
Recently, Xu Le often heard the Great Demon talking to himself in the late night, so he planned to record the words and deeds of the Great Demon, and write a memoir to reshape the image of a great man in the future.
Because Xu Le had a premonition, he would encounter a lot of criticism and discomfort in the future.
Even those who take the lead in denying the great devil may be Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing, which is politics.
At this point, Xu Le couldn't help but feel that it was indeed a foolish young man who was very happy. The Great Demon King deliberately explained that he would not be in the center in the future and would not be able to discuss Lu Huiqing's affairs. It was like the Great Demon King who had seen the political situation twenty years later, which was his protection for the idiot young man.
