Chapter 100 Northeast First Five-Year Plan (3)
When Morixun saw He Rui again, his attention was attracted by the new military uniform given by He Rui. It was a very European military uniform, with a very obvious gap with traditional Chinese clothing.
Similarly, this military uniform is also very different from the military uniforms of European countries and even countries around the world. Just like the large-brimmed hat with the same basic style in each country, the outfit on He Rui is quite different. The upper part of the military cap is raised in front, making almost vertical lines appear in front. On it is the hat badge, which is very eye-catching.
The lapel military uniform exposed the Adam's apple, which made He Rui's face look thinner and his neck longer. Because He Rui himself has the feeling of a scholar, wearing this military uniform looks even more like a university professor in a military uniform.
Not only He Rui, but other soldiers have similar feelings. This scholarly spirit, full of military style, has calmed down Morrison a lot.
After sitting down, Morrixun did not beat around the bush, "Master He, I want to come and do an errand under Dasang this time."
He Rui smiled, which seemed quite sincere to Molixun. Sure enough, Molixun heard He Rui answer: "Our Investment and Merchants Group lacks a director now, so I wonder if Mr. Molixun is interested."
"China Merchants Group?" Morrixun thought of the investment promotion campaign that He Rui had personally participated in, and felt a little clear about it. But he was still not sure, so he could only ask: "What is the relationship between China Merchants Group and the Ministry of Commerce?"
He Rui found a project of the investment promotion agency and handed it to Molixun. Molixun took it and looked at it, then raised his head, and saw He Rui smiled and said, "You keep watching, it won't affect my work."
So Morrixun looked at the documents and He Rui wrote the documents. In the office, there were only subtle sounds made by the friction between the paper and the pen tip, and the movements of the reactionary paper.
Morrixun does not like the job of the China Merchants Association, which is quite different from the traditional work content of the political broker. After reading the organizational planning, Biden said: "Mayor He, maybe there is a job that is more suitable for me."
He Rui raised his head, "Mr. Morrison, I think this job is most suitable for you. What is the most important job in the world at present? Did you let the UK take the time to consider the situation in China through your connections? No, no, the most important job in the world is how to make the Allies defeat the Allies. The production capacity outside the customs can play a great role in promoting this work. The Director of Investment and Merchants does not let merchants come to invest outside the customs, but makes the outside of the customs an important product supply place for the Allies."
"Isn't the China Merchants Association going to develop industries outside the gate?" Morrixun was not willing to believe He Rui's words, so his answer became straightforward.
He Rui waved his hand, "As the director of the China Merchants Bureau, this understanding is wrong. The improvement of Northeast industry is the side effect of the Allies' victory over the Allies. It is the contribution of Northeast industry to the Allies, rather than in turn the Northeast drawing strength from the Allies. I hope that Mr. Morixun must understand this logical relationship when writing letters to Minister Juerdian."
Looking at Morrixun's surprised expression, He Rui replied seriously: "Mr. Morrixun, please look at this issue from a global perspective. China is part of the world, and China must make choices that conform to the general trend of the world. Or do we need to discuss the current general trend of the world?"
Morrixun thought for a moment and decided to look at He Rui's energy, then asked: "Don't Marshal He look forward to strengthening the industrial strength outside the gate? The subordinates of Marshal He who I have met are all very sincere patriots."
"It is precisely because they are patriots that I chose them to be my comrades, but this does not mean that the world will revolve around China. As I said before, China is only a part of the world, and China does not have the ability to dominate the world situation, nor does it have the reason to dominate the world situation. As I said before, providing strength for the victory of the Allies is the direction of the world now and the direction we must devote ourselves to, rather than using the needs of the Allies to strengthen ourselves. Do you think this is a cooperative attitude?"
"Attitude of cooperation..." Morrixun felt his thoughts at this time, but he still couldn't believe it. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Sir He, can I write the content of our conversation in the letter?"
"Of course I have to write it in." He Rui replied clearly.
Four days later, Morishun's letter was delivered to Juerdian, the British ambassador to China. Juerdian picked up the letter and put it down. He called the exhibition in, "Look at this letter. If there is anything worth telling me, tell me."
The counselor took the letter and saw that it was written by Morrixun, he was a little surprised. He looked at the address of the letter and was even more surprised, "Your Excellency, why did Morrixun run outside the pass?"
Zhu Erdian's tone was a little sarcastic, "This guy fully supports Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor and has lost influence in Beijing. Before, Morixun liked He Rui very much, and now he should be running outside the pass to try his luck. If He Rui can gain greater power, Morixun can also return to Beijing's circle again."
The counselor did not continue to say anything. Juerdian's view is already very clear. This letter is probably why Morrison boasted. Now that Yuan Shikai is dead, all forces in Beiyang are fighting to become the supreme ruler of China, and gaining support from Britain is also a very important choice for them.
After opening the letter, the counselor started to read it. As he looked at it, the counselor couldn't help but feel surprised. After reading it all, the counselor thought about it and sent the letter to Minister Zhuerdian.
Juerdian believed in the ability of this counselor. Since the counselor thought the letter was valuable, Juerdian picked it up and read it.
After reading only a few paragraphs, Zhu Erdian couldn't help but smile and said, "This guy has become the director of the Investment and Merchants Bureau in He Rui's local government."
The counselor nodded, but said nothing. The letter did touch the counselor a bit, and the European war was even more tragic, the Battle of Verdun, the Battle of Jutland, and Germany fought a tragic war with Britain and France on land and ocean.
Especially in the Battle of Jutland, although Germany was unable to break through the blockade of the British high seas fleet, the German navy showed amazing combat effectiveness. Whether it was the tonnage of the sunken ship or the number of casualties, Britain was more than twice that of Germany. What made Britain even more uneasy was that Germany's main battleship was not severely damaged, only one battlecruiser and one former dreadnought. Britain sank three battlecruisers and three armored cruisers.
The counselor's younger brother is an artillery officer on the three sunken battlecruisers. He heard that only 9 people were rescued on the ship, and the counselor's younger brother's name did not appear on the 9-man list.
Germany was not defeated, but showed stronger power. This war not only showed no sign of ending, but instead moved in an increasingly tragic direction.
The relationship between countries is interests, which is just one of the most basic knowledge points in the British diplomatic community. He Rui was able to clearly put forward a cooperation attitude on this basis, which is better than most Beiyang senior executives.
At least, He Rui told the British side very clearly that I know you need it, and I am willing to do my best to meet your needs. Do you want to cooperate?
After reading the letter, Zhu Erdian did not comment on the contents of the letter, but asked: "Did He Rui always advocate that China join the Allies as soon as possible?"
