Chapter 248 It's easy to talk about money
Not short of money?
Is this a matter of not short of money?
You should know that the arrogance in the bones of the British Empire has no meaning in terms of money and face, but one thing they still strictly abide by is to keep themselves strong. ()
If you don’t have enough money to solve the problem, then do you think France, the famous loan kingdom of Europe, will be suppressed by Britain?
Do you think the German Empire, which grew up with iron and blood, would curse Britain all day long?
Looking at Zhu Ming's indifferent appearance, MacDonald's psychological frustration was a little psychologically frustrated.
Zhu Ming told Li Juou behind him that joke, while watching McDonald, and then changed his subject and his voice slightly raised, "Sister Juou, why did you say that the Lord asked us to attend the establishment ceremony of the Beiyang Navy? I said that I would not give it to Europe if I borrowed two warships. Don't you think it's romantic to travel and go on a honeymoon after we get married?"
Li Juou didn't expect that Zhu Ming would talk about these things at this time, and said shyly, "Dad should have his own considerations. Maybe he is giving you a chance to get to know the generals of the Beiyang Navy?"
"Well, that's true!"
Zhu Ming said very naturally, "Only my father-in-law had the dowry of the Beiyang Navy at that time, this was only available to him, but I still miss these broken ships!"
"What did you say?" Li Juou turned around with a red face.
McDonald then realized that the pretty entourage next to him was Li Hongzhang's daughter, which shocked him. As for what honeymoon they were going to go to in Western Europe, he also felt a sense of urgency!
Western Europe is not the only British Empire!
It’s not just the German Empire!
And Italy, and France!
There is even the Austro-Hungarian Empire!
For example, many people think that the British Empire in this era is an empire that never sets, and is powerful. Many people may not know that Yidaili, known as soft noodles, once had a single-chapter Singid warship for Britain. The main gun is four 450mm caliber guns. It is this warship that led the United Kingdom to design the first-class battleship of the Ultimate, and it is also the Flexibai-class armored battleship mentioned by Zhu Ming just now!
This Italian battleship is called the Dulio armored battleship! It has a displacement of 12,264 tons!
And France!
You should know that at this time, in warships, Britain, France, Italy, Germany, and Austro-Hungary, they still have their own specialties!
Of course, this is also related to the rapid development of technology today!
Basically like some countries, it was built outdated!
Not specifically, it's Italy!
But no matter what, it is precisely because of Yidaili's situation that Zhu Mingda's procurement can be implemented the most solid foundation!
If McDonald did not leave most of this money in the UK, he believed that he would soon return to the UK in shame and completely sit on the bench!
This is not just a matter of four million pounds, but more importantly, there are three million taels of gold!
In this world, anything will surrender before gold, including the truth!
So McDonald was in a dilemma!
After thinking for a long time, McDonald gritted his teeth and said seriously: "Hisser Zhu Ming, I don't know if I have the honor to attend your wedding and go back to China to have a look..."
Go back to check it out?
Zhu Ming smiled slightly in his heart!
Haha, he didn’t know about the technical blockade and technical restrictions of the British Empire! However, with McDonald’s operation, I believe that I should be able to buy some good things!
Although Zhu Ming had great doubts about being able to make good things from Britain and France, he still felt that he could try it!
Money can make the devil push the mill!
What's more, in the minds of Britain and France, the Qing Dynasty was a sick man from East Asia with a bunch of braids. Just like the Ottoman Türkiye, it was considered an advanced warship. What can you do?
As for such a big military equipment, what do you want to do? He will not care about the UK?
Even to a certain extent, he supported the country's revolution, so they felt that it was more conducive to the dumping of goods from the British Empire!
To a certain extent, the current British Empire's attitude towards the country is also a period of confusion!
So, Zhu Ming thought about it and then said seriously, "I have heard that the British Empire's navy is invincible. If I can buy warships, I hope the British Empire's Royal Navy can send some officers to teach the operation methods. Of course, this price is easy to say..."
MacDonald's eyes lit up, which was a good idea!
You should know that the British Empire has always pursued gradual control over the capital, such as customs, garrisons, and navy...
If we can use this reason to tell the men in London that even if the warships were sold to the Qing Dynasty, their command would still be in their own hands, would it be better to operate...
Think about the money!
MacDonald felt that his future was brilliant!
"Didn't you agree to Baland?"
The two walked on the street, and Li Juou asked in confusion, "You know, the purchased warships and the hiring of German naval officers to teach them are all confirmed things. Why did they get to MacDonald's place?
Zhu Ming smiled faintly, "This is the pioneering move of my father-in-law. The British ships are used to control the British and French, and the German ships are used to control the German and French. For Beiyang, it is naturally a complete package. After all, as a world power, we still need to learn a lot of their experience..."
"But, so much money..."
Li Juou looked at Zhu Ming with some concern. She had followed Zhu Ming to negotiate these things these days, but she really saw Zhu Ming’s charm!
Whether facing Germany or Britain, he can negotiate without being humble or arrogant, and even has no good face to the ministers of these two countries!
More importantly, she secretly calculated that if Zhu Ming purchased all these things, the minimum amount would be 50 million taels of silver!
Fifty million taels of silver...
Zhu Ming looked at Li Juou's worried expression and said slowly, "Don't worry, anything that can be solved with money is not a big deal!"
"I'm not afraid of these money-spending things. At worst, I can spend some money. What I fear most is that if things cannot be solved with money, I'm afraid that they can only be solved with human lives. That's bad..."
Anything that can be solved with money is not a big deal!
What confidence is this saying!
At worst, you can spend some money?
Spend some?
Is this a waste of time?
If you ask the entire Qing Dynasty, when the treasury was the richest, could it have 5020 million silver?
When is a man the most attractive?
Li Juou didn't come into contact with much, but now she felt that no one in the world could drive Zhu Ming away!
Li Juou, who was slightly behind, looked at Zhu Ming walking ahead with admiration, holding his head upright, with a bit of a dragon and tiger stance. His head was only short hair, and he looked energetic.
It seems that men should do this!
This is the energy that a man should have!
Looking at this, I suddenly saw a large cloth bag covering Zhu Ming's body. A group of people seemed to be chasing something, rushing over like a tide, rushing Li Juou and the Huai Army soldiers guarding behind me into clouds and mist...
When they came to their senses, they were all intact, just-
Zhu Ming is gone!
