The impact of the stock market crash that occurred from 1918 to 1919 was terrible!
Daosheng Bank collapsed, and General Manager Pies committed suicide by suicide. Zhengjin Bank suffered heavy losses, and Chairman Asaguchi committed suicide. All other banks suffered varying losses.
In the "gold mine stock market crash", the comprador group of the Dongtingshan Gang, Yu Qiaqing and others who had nothing to do with them had nothing to do with them before the stock market crash was about to happen. They also lost in tears.
tears.
The Dongting Mountain Gang could easily defeat Hu Xueyan, the richest man in China at that time, but in this "gold mining stock market crash", they suffered a devastating blow!
The foundation of the comprador group has been seriously shaken!
Not counting these oligarchs, there is another group of people who have also lost almost all their wealth.
Lu Yongxiang, Huang Huangrong, Yan Jiunuo,
They were frantically trying to find people like "Cai Duofu", "Hu Yike", Jeff and Loyle, but they had already disappeared without a trace.
But in this disaster, the most unlucky person was a person who had nothing to do with this disaster: Jiang Zhaoming!
He was originally just a green-skinned gangster from Shanghai. He somehow gained the favor of the "big boss" and somehow became the "manager" of the Sino-French Joint Mining Company. It seemed that he was rising through the ranks, but he fell into a bottomless abyss.
If he is caught, he will be torn into pieces. Not even a scrap will be left.
However, he was relatively lucky. On the day the stock market crash broke out, Jiang Zhaoming made a prompt decision and chose to escape after receiving the news.
In this stock market crash, Jiang Zhaoming also made nearly two million. He first ran to the countryside of Suzhou and hid for a few days. Then the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so he took his family and went to Nanjing first and bribed a
The foreign captain first followed the foreign ship to Hong Kong. After staying in Hong Kong for a few days, he also ran to the United States.
No matter how powerful people like Huang Huangrong and Yan Jiuling are, they can't chase them to the United States. They have no other choice but to turn their anger on each other. But in this stock market crash, one person made a lot of money.
Bo Man, this person is Wang Hengyue, the President of the Southern Government!
"How many?"
When he heard this number, Wang Hengyue was stunned and stunned.
I can't believe it, I really can't believe it. This, this number is simply an astronomical number. No, it's even bigger than an astronomical number.
Even if I dreamed for days and nights, I could not dream that one day I would have such a huge fortune.
Gold mine? I have truly obtained a gold mine!
"Heng Shuai, congratulations on getting rich." Wang Qinglu said with a smile.
"Get rich, get rich, I really got talented this time, ***, if they know that I was also involved in this matter, and took a big piece of it, they will eat me alive!" Wang Hengyue's eyes were filled with laughter!
Narrowed into a slit.
That being said, Wang Hengyue was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he quickly imagined the future in his mind.
With such a huge sum of money, how many aircraft can you build? How many warships and cannons can you buy?
How many troops can the machine gun arm itself? How many factories and educations can you finally do what you dreamed of doing but were restricted by lack of funds?
I'm rich now, not just a little bit! Is the world's richest man now himself? Wang Hengyue suddenly wants to know this answer the most.
Although nouveau riche are looked down upon, I don’t know why Wang Hengyue suddenly feels so good about being a nouveau riche!
"Heng Shuai, we have money, we have an army, we have artillery, but in terms of politics, Heng Shuai, I have some opinions..." Wang Qinglu suddenly said.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Wang Hengyue, who was immersed in excitement, asked casually.
Wang Qinglu thought for a while: "Although Beiyang's recovery of Menggu this time is exciting, Hengshuai should not send a phone call to congratulate him in person. This will only increase Beiyang's discrimination, especially in
The Northern Expedition is about to begin!"
Wang Hengyue put away the smile on his face and suddenly became extremely solemn: "Actually, I also know that sending a congratulatory telegram to an enemy will enhance the enemy's prestige, but I must send this telegram. Although we and Beiyang
We are enemies, but one of Beiyang sent troops to Russia, and the other sent troops to Mongolia. These two things were done well and greatly boosted the aspirations of our people. I once said that no matter how fiercely we fought with Beiyang, we were always the same.
Chinese people are all unanimous in safeguarding the sovereignty and dignity of the country, so I must give them solidarity at this time.
If this feat of regaining Mongolia does not receive support from my own family, then our people will not believe us either."
Wang Qinglu nodded slowly, he understood the president's painstaking efforts.
Wang Hengyue regained his mood: "Now that we have more money, we should do some things that we wanted to do but failed to do in the past. Since we acquired Guangzhou, we have been preparing for the Northern Expedition for a long time, and now the time for the Northern Expedition is ripe.
, we can proceed after waiting for a while.”
"Let's go!" Having said this, Wang Hengyue waved his hand: "I'll take you to see our new naval weapons!"
As the president arrived at the Navy's secret testing base, he saw a foreigner speaking loudly to a group of naval cadets: "The man standing next to me, Simon Lake, has successfully created the world's first
A double-hulled submarine. "Little Yagur's Daddy"
Submarine is a practical and effective naval warfare weapon, but at that time, the navies of various countries still had prejudices against it, believing that it was a sneak attack weapon belonging to weak countries and was not suitable for powerful naval powers. Until 1898, the French "Gustave Zide"
The submarine No. , sank the British battleship Machinta with a torpedo, which showed the great power of submarines in naval battles. Only then did the navies of various countries, awakening from their dreams, begin to develop submarines.
Due to the short-sightedness of the U.S. Navy, it successively rejected the submarines with excellent performance developed by me and Lake, resulting in France taking the lead in submarine development. The British developed submarines after France. In 1q00, the British Navy ordered 5 submarines from the United States
"Holland, type submarine, even the Russians developed submarines after the French.
In the war that just ended, German submarine development started very late, and it was not until 1904 that
In 1998, Navy Minister Tibbits, who had always opposed the construction of submarines, changed his attitude towards submarines, and it was only in 1
In July 1908, the "Germany" class improved submarine, also known as a U-boat, was built. Later, Germany had a diesel engine specifically for submarines, and built a diesel-electric motor submarine with excellent performance. The role of submarines in the war
It has been used to its full potential.”
"Who is this?" Wang Qinglu asked suspiciously.
"Holland, next to him is Lake, both of whom are outstanding submarine inventors." Wang Hengyue said calmly: "I paid a lot of money to invite them." American submarines can be said to be "flowers blooming inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall."
The Americans built excellent submarines such as the "Holland" and "Lake", but the U.S. Navy was slow to adopt them. It was not until Russia, Britain and other countries equipped submarines that the United States ordered the first "Holland" submarine.
It is no wonder that leaving outstanding talents like Huo Lan and Lake unused makes Huo Lan and Lake extremely depressed. This gives Wang Hengyue, who is far away in China, an opportunity to take advantage.
For China, which has a seriously backward navy, concentrating its efforts on developing submarines will be a shortcut to turn its navy from weak to strong in a short period of time, and be able to barely compete with those maritime powers!
The sinking of the British cruiser HMS Crécy in 1914 by a German submarine under the command of Captain Widigan is the best example.
Just an hour after the sinking of the "Crecy", this explosive news spread quickly around the world, shocking the international naval community: the "iron-shelled" submarine took three 10,000-ton ships in just one hour.
-class cruiser was sunk, resulting in the death of 1,459 officers and soldiers. This was something that people did not even dare to think about before.
It can be said that this famous battle in the early history of submarine development promoted the change of traditional naval warfare thinking to a certain extent and triggered people's re-understanding of submarine combat capabilities and combat use!
Now, Wang Hengyue, who will definitely not be able to catch up with the pace of naval powers in the short term, has shifted his focus to submarines and aircraft carriers.
The battleship will definitely be eliminated!
Although Wang Hengchu could not conjure a powerful fleet like magic, he clearly understood the development ideas of the navy. He knew what should be restricted and what should be focused on.
At this time, the naval cadets, led by Holland and Lake, came to a nose boat.
Two foreign instructors were carefully explaining the structure and knowledge of submarines to them.
Wang Hengyue pointed at the students who were listening attentively: "Huaizhao, have you seen it? They are our future undersea wolves. They will be like a pack of real wolves, lurking in the unfathomable bottom of the sea, and then spot the opportunity and attack
To bite those enemies hard." Wang Hengyue's naval dream is known to almost all his subordinates, but what is unexpected is that Wang Hengyue's focus is not on the development of the mainstream of the world's navy: battleships!
Instead, he devoted almost all his energy and material resources to submarines and aircraft that could take off from ships.
No one knows whether the president's idea is correct. Perhaps only time will tell. However, judging from the things the president has done before, it seems that he has never made a mistake.
Several students boarded the submarine, where they were shouting excitedly.
Wang Hengyue smiled softly. These young and energetic trainees will soon become the pillars of the Chinese Navy in the future. They will hold up the backbone of the Chinese Navy.
