Chapter 1091: The West Has Changed
With only tens of thousands of guns, plus military assistance from dozens of cannons, it is simply a piece of cake for the current Chinese Empire, and it can't be put on the table, and now Jiang Shenghua, as a minister, has every right to decide such a thing, not to mention that now the affairs of South Africa have been put in a very important position by Guo Ye, and millions of pounds have been thrown out, where would he care about such a little thing?
Soon, Guo Ye agreed to Jiang Shenghua's request, 10,000 Liaoyuan No. 1 rifles, 50 heavy machine guns, 50 artillery pieces, plus 10,000 boxes of ammunition, 4,000 shells, and soon prepared them, transported from Jinan Military Industry Group to Qingdao Port, ready to set off at any time.

As for the selection of the instructor corps, it is even simpler, now that the KPA has a strong force, the elite strength of a battalion is nothing at all. Guo Ye directly appointed Zhang Hexiang as the head of the instructor corps, led a battalion of troops to the Transvaal, conducted military training for the Boers, and set off with the people of Shandong Industrial Manufacturing Company.
Shandong Industrial Company's task in the Transvaal, the party is the top priority, this is also the core of the entire African strategy, there is no reassuring Guo Ye at the helm, that is absolutely not good, in order to be able to finalize the relevant matters as soon as possible, Guo Ye directly summoned the two heads of Shandong Industrial Manufacturing Company to the capital, these two people are Zhang Chunping pulled up a cadre, one is Shi Qiang, the other is Xu Run, are extremely shrewd people, a few years, The Shandong Industrial Company has become one of the few industrial companies in the Chinese Empire.
"Shi Qiang, Xu Run, do you know my intention in summoning you to the capital?"
Shi Qiang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, of course you know, we have all heard, Your Majesty has made us a piece of land in Black Africa, and I heard that there is a large amount of gold waiting for us to mine, Your Majesty is in such a hurry to gather the two of us, it must be for this matter......"
Guo Ye glared at Shi Qiang and said, "You are all big shots, you should understand the importance of intelligence and secrets, and the news that there is gold in Black Africa must not be leaked!" Look at your sloppy attitude, how can I feel at ease to put the task in your hands? ”
Shi Qiang's face froze, and he didn't dare to speak.
"What? Has the news been leaked out? ”
Guo Ye saw Shi Qiang's expression, and felt a little bad in his heart, and hurriedly asked.
Shi Qiang nodded, and said embarrassedly: "It's out, but the scope is not large, there are almost more than ten people in the entire industrial company who know about this matter, all of them are high-level ......."
"Bastard!"
Guo Ye almost died of anger, now if the news is leaked and the British know about it, then there will be no matter of the Chinese Empire! Damn it!
"Shi Qiang! Didn't I say that you must not leak the news, it is a matter of the rise or fall of the country, and you leaked the information like this? Once these things are known to the Western intelligence officers, it will definitely be a big deal for us! You bastard, I want to kill you! ”
Guo Ye roared.
Shi Qiang and Xu Run's faces turned pale, His Majesty lost his temper, where could the two of them resist?
"Shu Yuchen!"
Guo Ye shouted.
Shu Yuchen, the new military staff officer, hurriedly ran over, and when he saw His Majesty's face was pale, his heart chuckled, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”
Guo Ye hurriedly said: "Immediately send a telegram to Shandong Industrial Company, black Africa's affairs about gold, issue a gag order, no one is allowed to leak out, including the wife and children around him, no one can know, the country is top secret, and those who leak the news will be investigated and killed for treason!" The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of the Army, and the Ministry of Commerce of the Government Council were also notified that all personnel related to black African affairs were issued a gag order and it was strictly forbidden to leak it! ”
Shu Yuchen nodded hurriedly and ran out in a hurry.
Guo Ye said hatefully: "You almost ruined the big things of the empire!" If there is a next time, you know what the consequences will be! ”
Shi Qiang and Xu Run's faces were pale, and they nodded again and again, they were punished for treason, this is the most fatal crime!
"Xu Run, you are more proficient in foreign affairs, Shandong Industrial Company's affairs in the Transvaal are all handed over to you to deal with, if you need help, ask Jiang Shenghua and Kong Youlin for instructions, the mines in the entire Rand Basin are only allowed to explore in the early stage, not mining, and they are not allowed to be mined within three years!"
Xu Run was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, if we don't mine gold, what did we do in the past?" Time is running out! ”
"It's easy to mine gold, but with such a big treasure and more than half of the world's gold reserves, who wouldn't be blushing? I'm afraid that if the news leaks out, the world powers will have to fight for it! With our current strength in Africa, can you hold it? It's the world of the British, and if you're not careful, you'll make a wedding dress for someone else for nothing, understand? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister understands!"
After all, Xu Run is just a businessman, and his sensitivity to politics is much worse, hearing Guo Ye's warning, his heart is pounding, and he finally knows that it is not only a big treasure, but also a crater, once the news leaks, it is equivalent to a volcanic eruption, and he has no strength to make gold there, and if he is not careful, it will turn into ashes!
"Remember, in that area, the exploration of gold mines must be kept absolutely confidential! Usually with some ordinary commercial activities as a cover, these you know better than me, we need to build a high wall, accumulate grain, and then we can be king, and wait until our strength in Africa becomes stronger, we can mine, without my permission absolutely not to mine any gold mines, and all the survey data are listed as national top secrets, absolutely no one is allowed to leak, all engineers, in Africa must not be in contact with the outside world, half a year to change! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Guo Ye almost carried the ears of the two people and gave instructions, and after thousands of instructions, he let the two of them return to Shandong, preparing to go to Africa with the military instructor corps.
After dealing with these things, Guo Ye's mind had just relaxed, and something happened to the West again.
In just a few days, Shu Yuchen hurriedly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, something big has happened in the West!" ”
Guo Ye raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter, the fight started?" ”
Shu Yuchen nodded and said: "The Wing King sent back the information, the forces of Prussia and Austria have been assembled, and a large-scale war will break out at any time, Prime Minister Bismarck sent a request to the empire to purchase 200,000 boxes of ammunition and 200,000 shells, asking to be shipped to Prussia as soon as possible!" ”
