In addition to technical preparation, more important preparation is economic. For example, in order to produce these things on a large scale in the future, MacDonald needs to be able to integrate the US shipbuilding industry at some point. However, the timing of the integration is very important. If the integration is too early and the war has been dragged and not started, then the efficiency will be low. Moreover, before the war begins, Scourge predicts that the economic situation will not be too good, because if the economic situation is good and everyone has money to make money, how stupid will they fight the world war? Moreover, this economic situation is not good, and it is definitely not short-term, because if you endure, you will have a good life. Who is willing to fight the world war? So, if you buy it too early, those assets will definitely lose money for a while. Although Scourge is sure that you will make more money in the end, but if you can reduce the cost, it is only a little cost. Who would think that you make less money?

However, if the war is too late, the trend of war breaking out immediately is not... Novels are often obvious, and it will be too late to do this. Because more people can already see that the war is about to begin, and they all know that these things can make money at the beginning of the war. Then the prices of shipbuilding companies will naturally rise. By that time, they will have to pay more money. Of course, if the development of the Scrooge version of the "Freedom Wheel" is smooth, making money will not be a problem.

In the original history, a war broke out in 1914. If everything remains unchanged, Scourge could certainly grasp the situation. However, Scourge caused considerable interference to the world after all. Therefore, although this war is still inevitable, considering that the industrial development speed in this time and space is faster than before, Scourge estimated that this war would probably be a certain time ahead of time. But I don’t know how long it will be ahead of time.

"The matters in China must be resolved as soon as possible. If we follow history and procrastinate until 1911, the Xinhai Revolution will be launched, and before that, the world war will start. By that time, not only will the British not have the power to intervene, but even the United States will not have much power to meddle in other people's business, I'm afraid that Japan will take advantage of it." Scozhi thought, "If we want to do it, next year may be a good opportunity."

Empress Dowager Cixi died in 1908. Before she died, Emperor Guangxu, who had been imprisoned by her, suddenly died. The death of Empress Dowager Cixi had a huge blow to the Qing Dynasty. Although many of the later generations often criticized Cixi, the "stubborn", the biggest problem of Cixi was actually the butt problem, not the ability problem. Because there was indeed a conflict between protecting China and protecting the Qing Dynasty, and her butt was sitting on the side of the Qing Dynasty. Although this

An old woman has also done some stupid things, but at least among the Qing Dynasty figures, this old woman has first-class vision and skills. If she is put into the Manchu nobles, the core ruler of the Qing Dynasty, she will not be the second person to think of. Once this old woman dies, the rule of the Qing government will suddenly drop sharply, and the government and the country are in a disconnection. This is really a good opportunity. Moreover, isn’t the death of Emperor Guangxu also a thing that can be used?

Scozhi suddenly remembered a time travel novel he saw before traveling through time. The protagonist in it made a prophecy before Cixi died, claiming that Cixi would kill Guangxu before he died, and then saw that this had gained a huge political advantage. Although Scozhi had completely different goals from the time traveler, in the spirit of taking the ideology, Scozhi felt that he could do this, and even with the propaganda power in his hands, he was even more convenient for him to do it.

"First let the guys from the Restoration Association throw out "The Life of Cixi"? Well, Zhang Taiyan's writing style is good, so it should be good for him to write. Then, whether Cixi kills Guangxu or not, it will be a pit." Scozhi thought this way, so he rang the electric bell and called Fernan Belier.

Tokyo, Japan, Minbao Editorial Department.

For a while, the Tongmenghui's agency newspapers could hardly maintain their financial problems. Fortunately, they received funding from Chinese Americans from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and were finally able to continue to maintain them.

That morning, Mr. Zhang Taiyan was writing a manuscript at his desk in the study room, but heard a burst of rapid knocking on the door. Mr. Zhang Taiyan frowned, put down his pen, stood up, and walked out and opened the door. However, he saw that his student Qian Xia was standing outside the door. His face turned red, and he was both excited and happy, so he frowned again and said, "Qian Xia, what's wrong? Why can't you be so calm!"

Mr. Zhang is a master of Chinese studies. He emphasizes cultivation of energy and emphasizes that Mount Tai collapses before his appearance remains unchanged. Qian Xia is his favorite disciple (unlike Zhou Shuren and Zhou Zuoren, Mr. Qian Xia (Qian Xuantong)'s identity as a disciple was recognized by Mr. Zhang Taiyan). Now his uncontrollable look naturally makes him a little unhappy.

After hearing the teacher's criticism, Qian Xia immediately woke up, put away his excited face, and said to Mr. Zhang Taiyan: "Teacher, Mr. Tao has a letter. There is important news."

While speaking, Qian Xia handed the letter to Mr. Zhang Taiyan.

The letter was written in duplicate, one was Tao Chengzhang's original manuscript, which was written with various strange heavenly stems and earthly branches and numbers, and the other was translated by Qian Xia. Since he received training in Yuanpeng's class, the communication of letters from the Restoration Association has used a lot of passwords to improve confidentiality. Hei Shui naturally would not teach them how to compile complex passwords, which had high requirements for mathematics. So he provided them with a simpler way. That is, to select a certain version of the book

, and then use secret words to point out the page number, line number, and number of words, and then select a word, so that one word will form a cipher text. If the other party does not know the books and versions used, and the books used are replaced regularly, it will be difficult for others to decipher even if they seize the letter. But such cumbersome plain text turns into cipher text, and the secret text turns into cipher text, of course, a special person needs to do it. In Tokyo, all the secret letters given to Mr. Zhang Taiyan were translated by his favorite disciple Qian Xia.

Seeing that the disciple had regained his solemn attitude, Mr. Zhang Taiyan nodded, reached out to take the letter, spread it out, and looked at it.

"Cixi is in poor health, and I'm afraid she won't survive next year? Is this news reliable? Why did Huanqing say this kind of rumor?" Zhang Taiyan saw Tao Chengzhang's letter saying that he had received the news that Cixi was in poor health. Although she was not a big deal, her physical failure was very obvious. I was afraid that she would not live long ago, so she said this casually. But in fact, he was not very suspicious of the news. Because as normal circumstances, Cixi should have died long ago. In fact, everyone has been speculating on how long Cixi can live.

Cixi is now in her seventies. In that era, this was already a very long life. At this age, if there was obvious physical failure, even if there were various rare drugs to extend their lives, they might not be able to live long. Moreover, the so-called life-sustaining drugs are not without toxic side effects. The more they are used, the smaller the positive effects will be, and the more obvious the side effects will be. Later, even if the so-called Changbai Mountain Ginseng King is taken out, it will be only one second.

But the following content suddenly attracted Zhang Taiyan's eyes. Tao Chengzhang analyzed the changes in the political situation after Cixi's death in this letter. In the letter, he said that before Cixi's death, the one who was most worried and hard to deal with was the Emperor Guangxu who was imprisoned in Yingtai. For a long time, there had been a huge interest group around Cixi, which was completely opposite to Emperor Guangxu. The imperialists who supported Guangxu were also waiting for Cixi to die. They believed that if Cixi died, they would have a day to stand out.

Therefore, Tao Chengzhang further analyzed that in order to ensure the interests of the Later Party Group, Guangxu must not die after Cixi. When Cixi was about to fail, someone would definitely kill Guangxu first. So he suggested that Mr. Zhang Taiyan write an article to predict this change. In his opinion, if Cixi really killed Guangxu like the prophecy, then it would be that mother and son would kill each other and lose all their morals. The Qing Dynasty, which could do such a thing, would naturally have no legal system. In addition, after Cixi's death, there would be no Manchus at all.

If the people who have enough ability to control the world will have great hope in such a situation, the success of the revolution will be very hopeful. If Cixi was nervous and did not kill Guangxu, that would be great. Zai Tian was not a person with any political ability. If he was allowed to come back, everyone would naturally be in danger. The Imperial Party would definitely have to counterattack. Now, which of the real power figures in the world is not the Later Party? If this happens, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will fall apart faster. By that time, an uprising, expel the Tartars, and restoration of China will naturally come naturally.

"Tao Huanqing is really a scheming person. He actually thought so far." Zhang Taiyan put down the letter in his hand and sighed.
