Chapter 21 Return to China
Chapter 21: Return to China
After learning that the EAT company produced but could not sell it, the five major military industries even talked about the embarrassment of EAT as a joke in the United States, saying that Chinese are Chinese, even if they are rich, they are still brainless Chinese.
Wang Maoru knew that he rashly entered the European and American arms markets and was jointly squeezed out by European and American arms dealers. They did not embarrass Wang Maoru in any link, and even gave him cheap raw materials for production, but none of the guns produced could be sold, resulting in a backlog, in an attempt to drag down this Asian.
However, the characteristics of the E1 rifle suitable for desert areas still allowed them to get the order, a mysterious Turkish trading company ordered 10,000 E1 rifles and matching magazines and bullets from EAT at one time, for a total of 800,000 US dollars, and a mysterious medium ** valve also spent 800,000 US dollars to order the same rifle and ammunition. These two orders of business surprised the five major US military industries at once, when did these two big businesses come about? How did you suddenly bring the company that was about to collapse back to life?
After some investigation, the buyer in Turkey turned out to be the Turkish underground ** party, which belonged to the ** armed forces. Now the five major military industries also have a say, they asked the Turkish ambassador to protest, and the US government immediately declared EAT's business with the Turkish buyer null and void. As for China's mysterious warlords, the Americans are still confused and can't find out who they are. In fact, this warlord is Wang Maoru looking for someone to fake, the purpose is to let the eat factory start and survive, just to reassure the factory workers, but he doesn't want to have Turks to buy it. In addition to the Turks, a representative of an Arab sheikh ordered 3,000 E1 rifles, which were approved by the U.S. government, and it was only after the EAT that EAT had its first real deal.
In addition to the 3,000 E1 rifles delivered to the Arab sheikh, 15,000 E1 rifles that had been produced so far were backlogged in the warehouse, and Wang Maoru had no choice but to return to China with all the arms for sale. The five major military industries wanted to destroy the Chinese market of EAT, but they themselves had to work overtime to catch up with orders from the UK, so they had no choice but to give up the strangulation of the Chinese market of EAT.
Before leaving, Fang Hongxin asked if the E1 type would still be produced, and Wang Maoru thought about it and said that it would continue to be produced, but not expand the scale, and it would be able to reach 3,000 pieces per month.
As for the machinery manufacturing company under the EAT company, Wang Maoru instructed his manager Karen C. Schneider to study the installation of iron plates on civilian tractors to become armored tractors, or armored combat vehicles. This EAT machinery manufacturing company was originally a manufacturer of auto parts, and it happened that many technicians had talent in this area, and there were not many workers in the machinery company, so they all devoted themselves to the development of armored tractors.
At this time, Wang Maoru, who returned to China, has been in the United States for a year.
In the year 1913 when he went abroad, it was not peaceful, and in March, Song Jiaoren was assassinated, and Sun Yat-sen was determined to reverse Yuan and launch an unpopular second **. In April, after Yuan Shikai signed a loan agreement with the Bank of the Five Nations, the army was ready. In May, armed clashes continued between the two sides. In June, because of the loss of power and humiliation of the aftermath treaty of Yuan Shikai's five-country loans, Beijing students launched a student tide, Zhao Bingjun ordered arrest, Yuan Shikai ordered the rectification of the Ministry of Education's style of study, and some teachers and students were expelled. In July, Sun Yat-sen's armed Northern Expedition had just been carried out, but it failed miserably, and all walks of life across the country unanimously opposed the party's sabotage at this time. In August, Sun Yat-sen and others fled to Japan to seek refuge because of their failure to woo Yuan. In September, Yuan was suppressed one after another across the country. In October, Yuan Shikai forced the Congress and was elected president of the Republic of China, which was recognized by the world powers. In November, Yuan Shikai ordered the banning of the Kuomintang and the disqualification of the Kuomintang legislators.
At this time, Wang Maoru was ready to return to China, returning to China, where he had been away for a year. At this time, Tang Baoqi had graduated from a girls' school, and the two had been writing for more than a year, and they had already been sweet, and they were replaced by affectionate titles between the words. It's just that she hasn't seen her for a year, and Wang Maoru feels that she doesn't know what to do when she goes back to see her rashly, and she has to wait for herself for so long.
In June, Dr. Gu Weijun, whom Wang Maoru met at Tang's house, had married Tang Shaoyi's fourth daughter Tang Baoyue, and the two held a Western-style wedding in Shanghai.
When Tang Baoqi returned to Beijing, her classmates at the Normal School also marched and boycotted with other students to oppose Yuan Shikai's signing of the Five-Power Loan Treaty, because she had a lively and cheerful personality and was quite popular in the school, so she was also one of the initiators of the female teacher. Later, Yuan Shikai ordered the rectification of the school style, and several students who organized and participated in the protests were kicked out of the school. Tang Baoqi is the youngest daughter of Yuan Shikai's old friend Tang Shaoyi, and her brother-in-law Gu Weijun is now negotiating with the British government on the Tibet issue on behalf of the Chinese government. Therefore, Tang Baoqi was only punished, and he was directly sent to Gu Weijun's mansion without even closing the relationship. The angry Tang Baoqi said that he was going to the United States, and he was no longer going to college in China, so he was thinking about going to the United States to find Wang Maoru in the Tang Mansion in Tianjin. Coincidentally, at this time, Wang Maoru's letter came, saying that he would return to China in a few days, and Tang Baoqi became happy. Tang Baoqi's change in attitude made Tang Shaoyi see it, and when she knew that her daughter had received Wang Maoru's letter, Tang Shaoyi had a good impression of Wang Maoru, so she acquiesced to her.
However, since Tang Baoqi was arrested by the police, Tang Shaoyi strictly ordered her to read "The Taming of the Woman" and other books at home honestly. In addition, her father was ready to remarry, Tang Baoqi did not hesitate to be a stepmother, and even used the letter with Wang Maoru to solve her worries, and the communication of the letter made her and Wang Maoru open their hearts, and the relationship quickly warmed up.
There are two routes from San Francisco back to China, one is from the east coast of the United States to Europe, through the Cape of Good Hope in Africa to India in the north, through the Strait of Malacca to Hong Kong, and then north to Qingdao. This route takes two months to return home, but it is the smoothest. The other was from San Francisco to Hawaii by boat, then to Nagasaki, Japan, and then to Dagu, Tianjin, China. Wang Maoru chose the shortest Japanese route, but when he returned to China, it was already the winter of 1913, the port of Dagu in Tianjin was frozen, and all cruise ships needed to dock at Dalian or Qingdao to disembark. Wang Maoru took his assistant Zhao Jiacheng to get off the boat in Qingdao and came back, locking up and following Ergen and other guards inch by inch.
Today's Qingdao is leased by Germany, and is planned neatly and cleanly by Germany, although beggars are seen on the streets from time to time, but no one defecates and spits on the ground, and Chinese policemen wearing German police uniforms patrol the streets from time to time, which also makes Qingdao's public security the best in China at the moment.
"Qingdao, Qingdao" Wang Maoru shouted to the sea and said: "Our Qingdao" The people around him looked at him in surprise, which reminded Wang Maoru that Qingdao at this time was still the Qingdao of the Germans. Thinking that Qingdao would be occupied by the Japanese again in the future, Wang Maoru was resentful. Qingdao, our Qingdao in China, has been transferred from one colonial country to another, and it is really humiliating that we cannot help the country ourselves. If you become a warlord or an official, you must recover Qingdao, and you must take Qingdao, an ice-free port in the East, into your arms.
