Chapter 256 The Yankee Comes Fast

Chapter 256 The Americans are coming quickly

Of course, Guo Jinzhang would not exchange for another person for five million dollars, even if that person is the originator of the theory of sea power, the most amazing and uncommon character in the history of the world's naval forces. Although he knew that Ma Han was indeed worth the price, or even higher, the five million dollars these days was too valuable, and he was also afraid of scaring Chesther, Arthur, James Brian and others. In fact, in order for Ma Han to give lectures in Tangzhou, he only reduced the compensation amount by 100,000 US dollars... If it was too much, it would only make Chesther, Arthur and others alert that those guys would definitely not let them go.

Therefore, Guo Jinzhang has always believed that this is the most successful part of the entire agreement. You must know that it is not something that ordinary people can do to have Ma Han teach his own people.

Later in the Japanese-Russian naval battle, a guy named Akiyama Masayuki became a staff officer of the Japanese navy. This guy had no experience or fame, but because he was a student of Mahan, the plan he proposed was almost fully accepted by the Japanese navy... Of course, Japan won this naval battle, so Akiyama Masayuki became an important figure in the history of the Japanese navy. In terms of reputation, he could almost be on par with Japanese naval celebrities Hirahachiro Togo and others.

Guo Jinzhang doesn't think Cheng Degui can become a famous naval general, but even if he can't become a famous general, he is better than knowing nothing about the navy? Nowadays, no navy can do anything big? Just fighting with the Americans in Tangzhou? That's too much time and effort.

...

"If you don't have five million dollars to replace someone, I want to see if this person has real information. If there is no... Jin Zhang, remember to get the money back." Cheng Degui was very dissatisfied. Everyone else became officials, but he wanted to be a student, and he went to learn from the defeated Americans... Even if the US Navy did not compete with the Red Corps, then during the war, he could only wander around the periphery of Seattle. In the end, the two broken warships that didn't even wander around under the threat of shore artillery really made him feel no respect for the US Navy. Five million dollars, how much can he do?

"You're ready to have fun secretly." Guo Jinzhang gave this guy a blank look. He was doing good deeds when he got the cheaper, but he was poaching the Americans' strong feet this time. Is Ma Han's theory of sea power simple? Many of the American strategies in later generations followed Ma Han's theory, and have not changed for more than a hundred years.

"National Guard... The militia in Hanzhou have been completed. Who are you going to let Hanzhou Governor? Jin Zhang?" Liu Tongfu asked again, "Isn't it me?"

"You? No, you have another appointment." Guo Jinzhang said.

"There are other appointments?" Liu Tongfu was anxious. "One of the others has arranged this, and I'm the only one left. Where else do you ask me to apply for it?"

"I plan to set up a Development and Reform Commission to provide guidance and planning for the economic development of Tangzhou and Hanzhou... Almost all of them are members of this committee. Well, there are some who are not here, such as Asheng, who must be." Guo Jinzhang said again.

...

"Smart."

"Governor, the speaker gave it to others. He is a soldier and cannot interfere in politics openly. But as long as there is this Development and Reform Commission, he has always held the administrative power of the two states. Hehe, all the military and political power is in hand... He is still the leader here."

"How could someone get things done?

As soon as the "NDRC" came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Mr. Chen and Mr. Fang on the side couldn't help but mutter.

...

"Jin Zhang, I have another appointment. Could it be this just the Development and Reform Commission?" Liu Tongfu asked Guo Jinzhang again.

"Then do you know how our Tangzhou should develop?" Guo Jinzhang asked with a smile.

"Then..." Liu Tongfu wanted to say a few words in the scene, but his xiong cavity just started to sag, "I don't know."

"Hahaha..." Cheng Degui, Jian Wang and others laughed.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you laughing?" Liu Tongfu was annoyed, "You all value it. Look at me, aren't you?"

"What is the use of? I am a student. What does a navy mean? I must start from scratch. I may have to be beaten every day. How about the use of this? " Cheng Degui smiled clearly.

"This is really true." Guo Jinzhang pointed to him, "The navy is not simple. Mathematics, geography, astronomy, etc. are just the basics. They also have to calculate latitude and longitude, etc., which is complicated. They are many times more complicated than the army. Moreover, naval battles are far more dangerous than land wars. On land, if you don't win, you may be able to run, but if you lose at sea, where can you go? If you are caught up with someone, you may go into the sea to feed fish... This is secondary. The most important thing is that the navy usually stays at sea. Think about it, for several months, you can only look at the blue sea, and you can only move in such a small space on the ship. Are you boring?"

"This..." Others were fine, but after hearing Guo Jinzhang's words, Cheng Degui's face changed slightly. He just thought that he would be the vanguard of the Red Corps and the supreme commander of the navy, but he never expected that there would be so many troubles and dangers. Especially the boredom that Guo Jinzhang described in the end reminded him of the incident when he was begged by Americans in a boat like a pig...

"Agui, do it well. Brother, I'll be optimistic about you." Liu Tongfu stopped talking, but just kept giving Cheng Degui a thumbs up.

"Jin Zhang..." Cheng Degui looked at Guo Jinzhang, and stopped talking.

"Don't say anything. Since you have agreed, you can't go back on your word. Moreover, ugly words are ahead. If you are fired by your teacher because you don't work hard in your studies, or you simply can't graduate, you won't want to go back to the Red Sè Corps in the future." Guo Jinzhang said coldly.

"You are obviously bullying people." Cheng Degui shouted.

"You will know if I bully you. Anyway, I can only tell you that according to my plan, if you can do it well, you will be the commander of our National Guard in the future. At that time, most of the Americas will have to act according to your face. Maybe there will be a chance to take the fleet to the Qing Dynasty to see it. But if you can't do it well, hum..."

"You can..." Seeing that Guo Jinzhang had no intention of changing his decision at all, Cheng Degui had to withdraw his request hatefully, "I'm unlucky."

"Don't worry, I think you will take back this sentence soon." Guo Jinzhang smiled.

"Okay, okay, you all have decided, what else can I say? Where is me?" Liu Tongfu shouted again, "Jin Zhang, what am I doing?"

"You should be your deputy to Uncle Qian." Guo Jinzhang said.

"What?" Liu Tongfu jumped up suddenly, "Guo Jinzhang, what do you mean?"

"What does it mean?" Qian Shide shook his hand and smashed his cigarette bus, "You are not happy to be your deputy, right?"

"I, I don't mean that, but..." Liu Tongfu looked aggrieved, "I didn't dare to say that I made many contributions, but even if I was not bad, I wouldn't be much worse than Asheng and the others, right? Well, Asheng became the governor, and Agui was also the commander of the navy in the future. Why should I be a deputy?"

"Because you are smart." Guo Jinzhang spread his hands, "So, when you return to China to recruit personnel, you have to help Uncle Qian."

"I won't..." Liu Tongfu was shaking his head hard, but suddenly, he stopped again, "What did you say? Go back to China?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Guo Jinzhang gave him a blank look, "We are just one of the United States. Do you plan to let tens of thousands of us fight against them for the rest of our lives? You won't be exhausted? And the most important thing is that all Chinese workers in the United States are all their mothers. What about you plan to let everyone be a bachelor for the rest of their lives?"

"I, I...hahaha--"

The sharp smile on the slightest frightened everyone so much that they couldn't help but shrink their necks. When they looked again, Liu Tongfu's mouth was almost grinning behind his head...

"Non, it's not fair. I'll switch with him." Cheng Degui suddenly jumped up, "I'm going to return to China."

"Yes. Don't come back in the future." Guo Jinzhang rolled his eyes.

"You... Jin Zhang, you bully people," Cheng Degui cursed.

"I'm bullying you? I'm asking someone to find a wife for you. Do you think I'm bullying you? Do you still have a conscience?" Guo Jinzhang also cursed.

"Then, there is no need to send him Liu Tongfu? I can do it too." Cheng Degui shouted.

"Cheng Degui" Liu Tongfu had just recovered and was furious when he heard this, "Do you dare to compete with me?"

"What's wrong with me just snatching you? If you have the ability, just exchange it with me." Cheng Degui jumped and said.

"If you want to... change it to you, you'll be n't." Liu Tongfu was even more furious when he was not careful. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed over. Fortunately, he was pulled by Jian Wang. However, even so, this guy still did not forget to curse people. When he heard his words, Cheng Degui was not willing to be outdone, and all kinds of national curses were sprayed back. For a moment, the whole office was full of curses.

"Hehe, interesting, interesting." Qian Shide looked at Zhile, "I'm still laughing at me all day long. Isn't it all the same as a bear when I hear about finding NV people?"

"Stop it all." Hou Nan was also laughing and crying. Looking at Mr. Chen and Mr. Fang and other outsiders beside him, he felt even more embarrassed. Finally, he couldn't help but put on airs: "No matter how quarrels, I will get out of here. You don't have to do anything, you will build the road for me."

"..." The veteran took action, one of them was the leader of Denver. After all, Hou Nan was the big Denver in the past. Seeing him getting angry, Cheng Degui and Liu Tongfu had to shut their mouths and stand aside.

"No prospect." The old man was so angry that he couldn't help but curse.

"Hehe, what's this a shameless thing? Finding a wife is a normal human relationship, a normal human relationship," Qian Shide said with a smile.

"This matter is decided." Guo Jinzhang laughed, "Uncle Qian and Afu will get on the boat in a few days and return to China to recruit people... That, let's discuss the specific strategy later."

"Afu, remember to find some beautiful ones for us. I'll tell you, I don't want those who are not beautiful." Liang Zuying couldn't help but say on the side.

"Then you need to say it? I can't treat anyone badly." Liu Tongfu raised his head proudly and looked at Cheng Degui with disdain, "But it's hard for some people to say..."

"I want a big butt." Cheng Degui ignored Liu Tongfu's provocation at all. "Afu, remember it for me. If you dare to play tricks with me, don't take a boat in this life. I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

"Xiong's big butt isn't it? Do you want it if you are eighty-year-old?" Liu Tongfu snorted coldly and asked.

"Your aunt?" Cheng Degui asked back.

"Yes, if you marry me, my son-in-law, do you want it?" Liu Tongfu rolled his eyes, not afraid at all.

"Forget it. I'm afraid that the ancestral tomb of my family will have a son. If you really have a grandson like you, you will never be able to live in peace for eight lives." The other party was shameless, and Cheng Degui had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Uncle Qian, Ah Fu has made arrangements. Jin Zhang, what are I doing with Dachang and others?" Seeing that the two of them finally stopped arguing, Jian Wang smiled and asked Guo Jinzhang again.

"I originally meant to keep you in the army, but if Agui chose the navy, you have to feel wronged and take on the heavy responsibility of public security. From tomorrow on, you will be the police chief of Washington State, that is, Tangzhou State," said Guo Jinzhang.

"Sure, no problem." Jian Wang replied.

"What about Dachang?" Liang Zuying asked again.

"Dachang and you, He Luyuan and Huang Sande, almost all the remaining people have to follow me," Guo Jinzhang sighed, "Our task is very heavy. We must come up with a real army within one or two years... This is the most fundamental guarantee for ensuring the stability of our Tangzhou."

"Yes." Liang Zuying understood the importance of the task and nodded fiercely.

"What about the fourth brother? Jin Zhang, you just said that there is also an important task to the fourth brother." Liu Tongfu said again.

"The fourth brother served as the governor of Hanzhou," Guo Jinzhang glanced at Chu Si, "Is there no problem?"

"No problem." Chu Siyi has always had a good temper and doesn't like to argue with others. Although Guo Jinzhang sent him to Alaska in the snowy and ice, he still did not hesitate at all.

"Hanzhou is now our source of wealth and a new destination for gold diggers around the world. This governor's task is not light." Guo Jinzhang said again.

"Don't worry, I will definitely guard the gold mine for us." Chu Sidao.

"No, Fourth Brother, your task is not to guard the mine." Guo Jinzhang shook his head, "Your task is to build a port. Build a front station for Agui and his future navy... This task is very important and plays a great role in our future development. For our fourth brother, you can endure loneliness and do things steadily, so you have to go."

"Okay, I will definitely do it." Chu Si replied.

"Okay. Then let's discuss the issue of this port in detail." Guo Jinzhang looked at him indifferently. The matter of Alaska's port base is indeed very important in his plan. He has looked at the map. Although Alaska and Hawaii are not much different from the United States, Alaska is too far north and seems to have little effect. Moreover, during World War II, Alaska's strategic role was indeed not great. But as far as he knows, many flights from Asia to the Americas in later generations had to transfer in Alaska, which is said to be more fuel-efficient. Although planes and ships are different, in his opinion, if Alaska and Hawaii can cooperate well, they can completely block the North Pacific in the middle.

The Ocean... Of course, these issues are far-reaching. However, Hawaii is still an independent kingdom now, and the Americans have not occupied it at all. This is his opportunity. Moreover, starting from Alaska, it will reach the Far East faster than starting from the United States, and can block the Bering Strait when necessary... As a Chinese, you may have the opportunity to fight with Russia in the future. Although this possibility is very, very small, you may not be careless as long as you have a little bit of it. After all, their foundation is still too weak, and a failure may lose everything. Therefore, it is definitely a good thing to occupy a favorable position and be able to act faster. Even if you have more money and useless work for this, it is worth it.

"The fourth brother became the governor of Hanzhou, Asheng is the governor of Tangzhou, Awang is the police chief, and Uncle Hou and the other ones are the deputy speakers of the speaker, but this official is still not complete..." Liu Tongfu suddenly stretched out his finger and counted, "Look, there is no prosecutor in this state, no tax officials, no auditors, no judges..."

"I will talk about these later. We are not enough manpower." Guo Jinzhang sighed.

"You can wait for anything else, but this school cannot wait, right? Jin Zhang, have you said that when we win, we will divide the territory, the first one to build is the school." Liu Tongfu said seriously.

"Hiss..." Guo Jinzhang took a deep breath, "I actually forgot the school?"

"What should I do? You can't really wait, right?" Liu Tongfu said.

"If you don't wait, you must not wait." Guo Jinzhang shook his head, "If we are not in enough staff, then go out and hire people. With high salaries, we will hire people from all over the world. Astronomy, geography, Chinese, mathematics, chemistry, physics, no matter what subject, we have to build a technical school, train industrial workers, and have to nòng a few more research institutes.... When Asheng comes back, he will ask him to build a school first. No matter what, he must build it before the teacher arrives."

"This is a big deal. I will talk to Asheng when I look back." Hou Nan said.

"Um"

"This official has almost been sealed, what are we going to do next?" Cheng Degui asked again.

"Discuss on Hawaii's affairs," Guo Jinzhang suddenly smiled and looked at Mr. Chen, Mr. Fang and others, "Several old men, Hawaii is lonely in the Pacific Ocean. I heard that there are a lot of forces gathered there?"

"this……"

Why did we suddenly talk about us again? Mr. Chen, Mr. Fang and others looked at each other. Things were going too fast, and a group of old men had not yet reacted.

"Forget it, I'll just say it." Guo Jinzhang scratched his scalp, "What I mean... Are you interested in taking Hawaii into your own hands? Or to put it bluntly, it means occupying that piece of land and turning it into the territory of our Chinese?"

"This..." Madman, no wonder people say that this guy is a madman. Just after a battle, he thought about reaching his hand into the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Mr. Chen, Mr. Fang and others became speechless. At this moment, the phone ring suddenly rang very inappropriately:

"Dingling"

"I am Guo Jinzhang, what's the matter?" Guo Jinzhang picked up the phone on his desk and said a few words to the other side. Then everyone saw a little bit of disappointment on his face.

"What's wrong?" Hou Nan asked.

"The Americans are here." Guo Jinzhang said a few more words to the other end, then hung up the phone, "It's the Minister of Interior... Yaya, you're here very quickly."
