The impact of the stock market crash that occurred in 1918 and 1919 was terrible!

Daosheng Bank collapsed, and General Manager Pierce committed suicide by drinking bullets; Zhengjin Bank suffered heavy losses, and the chairman of the board committed suicide; The rest of the banks suffered different losses.

In the "Gold Mine Stock Crash", the comprador group of the Dongting Mountain Gang, Yu Qiaqing and others, who originally had nothing to do with them, but before the stock market crash was about to occur, they also lost without tears.

The Dongting Mountain Gang was able to easily defeat Hu Xueyan, the richest man in China that year, but in this "gold mine stock crash", they were hit by the destruction of the surname!

The foundation of the comprador group has been seriously shaken!

These oligarchs and crocodiles are not counted, and there is another group of people who have also lost almost all of their family property.

Lu Yongxiang, Huang Jinrong, Yan Jiuling

They were crazy to find "Zeidov", "Hu Yike", Jeff and Lauer, but they had already run away without a trace.

And in this disaster, the most unlucky person is a person who has nothing to do with this disaster in the first place:

Jiang Zhaoming!

He was originally just a green-skinned gangster on the beach, but he was inexplicably favored by the "big boss", and inexplicably became the "manager" of Sino-French United Mining.

If caught, he would be torn to shreds. Not even a bit of scum remains.

However, he was relatively lucky, on the day of the stock market crash, Jiang Zhaoming, who got the news, immediately made a decision and chose to escape.

In this stock market crash, Jiang Zhaoming also made a huge amount of nearly 2 million, he first ran to the countryside of Suzhou, hid for a few days, and then the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so he simply took his family with him, first went to Nanjing, bought off a foreign captain, first followed the foreign steamer to Hong Kong, and after staying in Hong Kong for a few days, he also ran to the United States.

No matter how powerful these people are, Huang Jinrong and Yan Jiuling will not be able to catch up with the United States. There was nothing they could do but turn their anger on each other, or anything else

And in this stock market crash, there is one person who has made a lot of money, this person is Wang Hengyue, the president of the Southern Political Axe!

"How much?"

When he heard this number, Wang Hengyue was stunned.

I can't believe it, I can't believe it, this, this number is simply astronomical. No, it's bigger than astronomical.

Even if I dreamed for a few days and nights, I couldn't dream that I would one day have such a big fortune.

Gold mine? I've really got a gold mine!

"Heng Shuai, Wishing you prosperity." Wang Qinglu said with a smile.

"Get rich, get rich, this time it's really talented, the dog said, if they know that Lao Tzu is also involved in this matter, and he took a big head, he has to swallow me alive!" Wang Hengyue's eyes narrowed into a slit.

Having said that, Wang Hengyue was not only not afraid at all, but also quickly imagined the future in his mind.

With such a huge amount of money, how many planes can you build yourself? How many battleships to buy? How many troops can artillery and machine guns arm themselves? How many things can be done in factories and education, but are restricted by lack of funds?

Lao Tzu is rich, not a little money! Is the richest man in the world himself now? Wang Hengyue suddenly wanted to know the answer the most.

Although the nouveau riche is looked down upon, I don't know why Wang Hengyue suddenly feels so good about the nouveau riche now!

"Heng Shuai, there is money, the army is also there, and the artillery is also available, but politically, Heng Shuai, I have some opinions" Wang Qinglu said suddenly.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Wang Hengyue, who was immersed in excitement, asked casually.

Wang Qinglu thought about it for a while:

"Although the Beiyang side has recovered Mongolia this time, although it is exciting, Heng Shuai should not have personally sent a phone call to congratulate, which will only increase the discrimination of the Beiyang side, especially at the moment when the Northern Expedition is imminent!"

Wang Hengyue put away the smile on his face, and suddenly became extremely solemn: "Actually, I also know that if I send a congratulatory telegram to an enemy, it will boost the enemy's prestige, but I have to send this telegram. Although we and Beiyang are enemies, Beiyang is to send troops to Russia and Mongolia to the other, and these two things have been done beautifully, and the morale of our people has been greatly enhanced, and I once said that no matter how fierce we fight with Beiyang, we are always Chinese. We are all united in upholding the sovereignty and dignity of our country, so I must show them solidarity at this time. If this feat of recovering Mongolia does not receive the support of our own people, then our people will not believe in us either. ”

Wang Qinglu nodded slowly, he understood the president's hard work.

Wang Hengyue recovered his mood: "Now that we have plenty of money, we should do what we wanted to do in the past but didn't do." Since we took Guangzhou, we have been preparing for the Northern Expedition for a long time, and now the time is ripe for the Northern Expedition, and we can wait for a while to carry it out. ”

"Let's go!" Speaking of this, Wang Hengyue waved his hand: "Take you to see our new naval weapons!" ”

When the president came to the secret test base of the Navy, he saw a foreigner saying something loudly to a group of Navy cadets:

"The man standing next to me, Simon. Lake, who managed to build the world's first double-hull submarine. 'Little Daddy Yagur'.

The submarine was a practical and effective weapon of naval warfare, but at that time, the navies of various countries were still prejudiced against it, believing that it was a sneak attack weapon belonging to a weak and small country, and it was not suitable for naval powers. Until 1898, the French 'Gustav. The submarine Kidd sank the British battleship "Mačenta" with a torpedo, demonstrating the great power of submarines in naval warfare, and the navies of various countries began to develop submarines only after waking up from a dream.

Due to the short-sightedness of the US Navy, it successively rejected the submarines developed by me and Lake with excellent surnames, with the result that France was in the leading position in the development of submarines. Britain developed submarines after France. In 1900, the British Navy ordered 5 submarine of the 'Holland' type from the United States, and even the Russians developed submarines after the French.

In the war that just ended, the development of German submarines started very late, and it was not until 1904 that the Admiral Tibitz, who had always opposed the construction of submarines, changed his attitude towards submarines, and in July 1908 he built an improved submarine of the 'Zerman' class, that is, a U-boat. Later, Germany had a diesel engine dedicated to submarines, and built a diesel-electric motor submarine with the surname Neng, and the role of submarines has been vividly played in the war. ”

"Who is this?" Wang Qinglu said suspiciously.

"Holland, next to him is Lake, both of whom are excellent inventors of submarines." Wang Hengyue said lightly: "I spent a lot of money to invite them. ”

The Americans have built such excellent submarines as "Holland" and "Lake", but the US Navy has been slow to adopt them. It was not until Russia and Britain were equipped with submarines that the United States ordered the first "Holland" submarine.

With excellent talents like Holland and Lake, it is no wonder that Holland and Lake are extremely depressed, which gives Wang Hengyue, who is far away in China, an opportunity.

For China, whose navy is seriously backward, concentrating on the development of submarines will be a shortcut to turning its navy from weak to strong in a short period of time, and to be able to reluctantly fight with those maritime powers!

The sinking of the British cruiser "Crecy" by a German submarine under the command of Captain Widedigan in 1914 is a prime example.

Just an hour after the sinking of the "Cressie", the news of the explosion quickly spread around the world, and the international naval community was shocked:

It took only one hour for the "iron-hulled" submarine to sink three 10,000-ton cruisers, killing 1,459 officers and men.

It can be said that this famous battle in the early history of submarine development has promoted the transformation of traditional naval warfare thinking to a certain extent, and triggered people's re-understanding of submarine combat capabilities and combat use!

And now, Wang Hengyue, who will certainly not be able to catch up with the pace of the navy power in a short period of time, has turned his focus to submarines and aircraft carriers.

Battleships will definitely be eliminated!

Although Wang Hengyue couldn't conjure up a powerful fleet like magic, he clearly knew the idea of naval development, he knew what to limit and what to focus on.

At this time, the naval cadets, led by Holland and Lake, came to a submarine. Two foreign instructors carefully explained to them the construction and knowledge of submarines.

Wang Hengyue pointed to the students who were listening attentively: "Huai Zhao, do you see, that is our future undersea wolves, they will be like a group of real wolves, lurking on the unfathomable bottom of the sea, and then see the opportunity to bite those enemies fiercely." ”

Wang Hengyue's dream of the navy is known to almost all his subordinates, but what is unexpected is that Wang Hengyue's focus on development is not the mainstream of the world's navy:

Battleship!

Instead, he devoted almost all of his energy and material resources to submarines and planes that could take off from ships.

Whether the president's idea is correct or not, no one knows yet, and perhaps only time will tell. But judging from what the president has done before, it seems that he has never made a mistake.

Several cadets got on the submarine and shouted excitedly there.

Wang Hengyue smiled softly, these young, energetic cadets, soon, they will become the pillars of the future Chinese Navy, and they will support the backbone of the Chinese Navy.

That day will come soon!
