Volume 30000 Ancient Miraculous Skill Chapter 445 Buying Poison Gas Bombs
From time to time, the newspapers reported the news of the death of a certain traitor, and at the same time reported the information of his family, which greatly stimulated the Chinese people who love to watch the excitement and are not afraid of small things. In many cases, without the need for the police, the neighbors reported or drove away the traitors' families and did not allow them to live here, and the strict press management methods in the three eastern provinces made many people close to Soviet Russia shudder. What is surprising is that the Bolshevik Party in the three eastern provinces was not affected, because the Bolshevik Party headquarters in the three eastern provinces demanded that the Bolshevik Party members in the northeast strictly abide by the local laws of the three eastern provinces in order to survive.
This greatly annoyed Comrade Lenin, who was far away in Moscow, and he demanded that the Bolsheviks in China stand up and fight against Wang Maoru's brutal rule in an armed struggle, so that the Chinese participating armies could not participate in the Russian civil war. Unfortunately, it was rejected by the Bolsheviks in Northeast China, who believed that Bolshevism in China should be peaceful and slow, and must not be achieved overnight. Comrade Lenin, greatly annoyed, declared in Moscow that the Chinese Bolshevik Party in northeastern China was unworthy of being called Bolsheviks, and that they had been expelled from the League of Soviets. As a result, China's Bolshevik Party became an orphan, and China and Buenos Aires also turned against Big Brother, and Fu Yunjin, the leader of the China Bolshevik Party, announced that China and Burso would be renamed the Chinese Marx and Engels Thought Research Party, referred to as the Marne Party.
A series of changes made Wang Mao secretly surprised, this is interesting, why did the Bolsheviks fight themselves? Is it because you want to survive that you show me acting? If that's the case, then this double reed show has deceived the whole world.
Just when you sang and I appeared. The gubernatorial election of eight prefectures in Jilin Province has ended. It is a pity that the Baath Party only won the governorships of Binjiang Prefecture, Jelimu Prefecture, and Changchun Prefecture, the Progressive Party actually won the governorship seats of Yongji Prefecture and Anji Prefecture, while the Kuomintang only won the governor of Dongning Prefecture. Since Binjiang Prefecture and Changchun Prefecture, the two prefectures with the largest population base, were acquired by the Ba'ath Party, they narrowly defeated the Progressive Party and became the ruling party in Jilin Province; of course, the Progressive Party has almost become the ruling party of the province this time, and this time the Progressive Party has also given great encouragement to Liang Qichao and others of the Progressive Party, who are ready to sharpen their fists and fight for the governorship seat of Liaoning Province next year. The most disappointed is the Kuomintang, which only won the governor of Dongning Prefecture, but this is not bad, at least the governor of Tungning Prefecture is a member of the Kuomintang. Later, he occupied a certain number of seats in the National Assembly.
Wang Ching-wei in Harbin quickly summed up why the KMT campaign had failed because they had ignored the votes of ordinary people, who had already suffered one defeat in Heilongjiang and another defeat in Jilin. And the Zhi Gong Party, which returned from the United States, actually left them far behind. Get two of the least important governorships. Wang Jingwei quickly asked party members and cadres to pay attention to publicizing the people's policies to benefit the people when they were in Liaoning Province, and began to gradually pay attention to people's livelihood, not only caring about the votes in the hands of those gentry.
The fact that the gubernatorial race was reported by American journalists has aroused the interest of many Westerners, and it is really interesting that in the ancient and ignorant Eastern China, there was a situation in which voters directly elected governor. But this is not the first time reporters have reported that last year's direct election of governors by voters had already been tentative in the territories ruled by Wang Maoru, China's martial general. Jilin Province is just the second step, and next year Liaoning Province, a province with a population of 12 million, will start a gubernatorial campaign, and all the people will wait and see.
There is no doubt that Guo Zongxi continues to serve as governor of Jilin Province, and the governors of the provinces are at this time directly appointed by the government, not directly elected. On the contrary, it ensures that power will not be abused by public opinion.
Just when Wang Maoru was once again praised as the father of Oriental democracy, and before the Chinese army in Italy was about to leave for China, the acting commander-in-chief Gong Xiaoqi sent a telegram to Wang Maoru proposing that because of the end of the European war and the implementation of major disarmament in Italy, many arms had been cut aside, and he hoped to buy Italian artillery, vehicles, combat equipment, and poison gas bombs at a low price.
Wang Maoru was overjoyed when he saw the telegram, and he did not think of appointing Gong Xiaoqi to buy their artillery technology and forging steel technology, and to hire Italian engineers to come to China to guide the construction of steel mills.
Due to the end of the European war. Italians are generally war-weary, and the Italian Prime Minister laughed heartily when the squadron proposed the purchase list: "In this way, we can completely destroy gas bombs without spending money, great, great." All sold to the Chinese, all sold to the Chinese. "There was a reminder to stock up some for future wars. The prime minister laughed: "The world is already at peace, there will be no more wars, we Italians don't need gas bombs anymore." "There are still 23,000 mustard gas bombs in China's arsenal, and to say that the Italians are inferior to the Austrians in everything, that is, they are stronger than the Austrians in the field of poison gas bombs, half of the poison gas bombs made by the Austrians are chlorine gas bombs, and the other half are mustard gas gas bombs, and all the Italian gas bombs are mustard gas gas bombs, so it can be said that Italy is still relatively good in the field of poison gas bombs.
After the announcement of Germany's surrender in Europe, the revolutionary split of the Austro-Hungarian Empire soon took place, and the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which in fact posed the greatest threat to Italy, also announced that there was no country in the Mediterranean that was capable of threatening Italy at all, and Italy was faced with France, Switzerland, and Austria to the north, and the Alps in between, so that for Italy, the threat to Italy from land countries was minimal.
Thus, the 23,000 mustard gas bombs became a powder keg that threatened the nation when the threat to the land nation became smaller, and the Italian Army General Staff Headquarters discussed this much at many times.
During the European war, Italy had three factories for the production of poison gas bombs, and even two factories were located in the Greater Milan District and another in the seaside city of San Marino. Originally, the Milanese were very opposed to the gas factory being located in Milan, and the gas bomb ammunition depot was also located in the Greater Milan District, which made the Milanese even more uneasy. Immediately after Germany announced its surrender and Austria-Hungary declared its dissolution, the parliamentarians in Milan proposed the demolition of the gas bomb factory in Milan.
It is very easy to dismantle or rebuild a factory into another type of chemical plant, but the disposal of more than 20,000 poison gas bombs is a bit troublesome, and this thing is not just placed in one place, in case of rust, rot, leakage or explosion, it is not one place, but one place. The Italian Congress and the General Staff had held many consultations and talks on the handling and possession of poison gas bombs, and a parliamentary state like Italy was far more troublesome in solving the problem than in a centralized state, so after several days of arguing, the problem could not be solved.
After Gong Xiaoqi, on behalf of the squadron, put forward the willingness to buy Italian gas bombs and artillery, the Italians and military politicians were very happy, and the problems of poison gas factories and gas bombs that had plagued them for a long time were actually solved by the Chinese. As a result, the Italian side offered to sell not only poison gas bombs and artillery, but also technology and factory equipment. The technology of producing poison gas bombs is not difficult, and if there is a war against life, Italy can produce poison gas bombs again, which is also easy for Italy, a country that has not suffered from the baptism of war.
For the bundled sales model, Gong Xiaoqi could not call the shots, so he called Wang Maoru again to ask, Wang Maoru smiled, and immediately became Gong Xiaoqi, as a representative of the Northeast Frontier Guards, to cooperate with the Italian military in many aspects, in addition to the chemical plant gas bomb contract, but also with Italy in the air force, navy technology cooperation willingness.
Italy is in urgent need of post-war reconstruction, especially the transformation of the war industry into a post-war industry requires a lot of funds, and they also very much hope to reach cooperation with China. As a result, Italy gave a great concession to the first gas bomb contract, which included four parts, namely 23,000 gas bombs, 100 105 mm Schneider cannons, equipment for the production of gas bombs, and technical guidance for production, including related chemical technology. The total price of the contract was Wu Baiwan Dayang, and since Northeast China could not come up with such a large amount of money at one time, the funds were delivered to Italy in two parts.
Wang Maoru didn't expect that Gong Xiaoqi still had a talent for negotiation, so that Gong Xiaoqi admitted that he did not negotiate these contracts, but the staff Yong Xingbao, who had been a businessman, was naturally better at negotiation than Gong Xiaoqi's subordinates. Yong Xingbao found a group of friends who did business by themselves, although these people were small businessmen, but for the first time to negotiate for the country, the Chinese in Europe were far more patriotic than the officials, and when negotiating with the Italians, they did not give an inch to the rhetoric to get such a big bargain.
Wang Maoru immediately allocated a down payment of 3 million oceans to Gong Xiaoqi, and Gong Xiaoqi handed over to Yong Xingbao for processing, and the Italian military was very happy and took the initiative to contact the shipping company to transport this batch of special weapons. Gong Xiaoqi took the Chinese soldiers to accept it happily, and saw that the cannon had not even been put down to the gun jacket, and many of them were not even assembled and sealed in a container box, and the outside of the box was written "madeinusa". Yong Xingbao was surprised to learn that these 100 cannons were actually the artillery, which the Americans had just disembarked fortuitously and had just disembarked, and the Italians had sold them to the Chinese without firing a single cannon.
The Italians repeatedly emphasized that they must not make a noise, and Gong Xiaoqi said helplessly: "You send some artillery to teach us, we don't understand this thing." โ
Although the removal of three million oceans from the government treasury did not cause controversy, because three million dollars had just been borrowed from the Americans.
Wang Maoru now finally feels that he is rich, we have money, and it is time to sรจ. Buying cannons from Italy was the most cost-effective deal, and the Italians were half-selling and half-giving away gas bombs in order to dispose of them, otherwise they would not have been able to buy so many things for five million. There are cannons, there are cannonballs, there are mustard gas production technology, there are factories, there is steelmaking technology, Italy is really a welcoming country.
