1890 King of Southeast Asia
Chapter 246: The Last Gold Reserve in the Transvaal
In mid-March, an ordinary Portuguese cargo ship arrived at the Surabaya dock.
"I'm back!" Wang Tinghan stood on the boat, looking at the increasingly prosperous Surabaya, feeling a little unfamiliar.
When he got off the boat, someone was already waiting for him, but he didn't expect it to be Jiang Wang.
"Instructor!" Wang Tinghan straightened up and saluted Jiang Wang.
"Not bad, you did a good job, let's talk about it after we get on the bus." Jiang Wang nodded kindly,
"How is the situation of the Boers?" Jiang Wang took Wang Tinghan to the bus.
"The population is too small, the enemy is too strong, they don't know how to be self-reliant, and their fighting spirit is very poor. They put their hopes on the Germans and are doomed to fail." Wang Tinghan was silent for a while.
"You have done well enough. To be honest, although we took a lot of money, we actually provided so much help. Even if it was for a purpose, they didn't live up to their expectations, so don't take it to heart." Jiang Wang comforted Wang Tinghan and added the need for psychological counseling to Wang Tinghan's schedule.
"Instructor, I don't understand the meaning of what we are doing. Is it just for money?" Wang Tinghan thought of Franco and the guerrillas he led.
Deduction five or six 彡 74 六 6 7 5
After retreating into the German colony, they received help, which can be said to be all the help except for direct troops.
Then he and Franco lost control of the troops. The new president went into exile in Spain and appointed a new commander. Franco's uncle died in Transvaal.
The new commander asked this 7,000-man army to stop guerrilla warfare and attack the British army head-on.
After the army collapsed into a completely scattered guerrilla force, Wang Tinghan boarded the Portuguese merchant ship with the gold sent by Franco and returned with the Taishan, which was returning by detour.
"My country is gone. There are still two hundred tons of gold in this position. It is the country's last reserve. The bastard Rancos ruined the only hope. This batch of gold cannot be left to the British. You take them away."
Franco's words are still in my ears.
"What about you? It's meaningless for you to stay here. You can go with me. My country doesn't mind accepting you. You can be a rich man? An island owner?" Wang Tinghan hopes to take Franco with him.
"No, my home is here, my family is here, and I want to stay here too."
Franco's miserable smile Wang Tinghan can't forget it now.
"Here is your ID card, work certificate, and driver's license. By the way, you have three months of vacation. Several newly developed beaches are not bad. You can go and try. What are your requirements for the job?" Jiang Wang knew that he couldn't let Wang Tinghan think too much.

"Instructor, do I have to leave?" Wang Tinghan was a little depressed.
"You have done enough. Why don't you try other lives? If you want to stay, we only have long-term field work." Jiang Wang patted his shoulder.
"It's very difficult. Take a look at your work certificate." Jiang Wang pursed his lips and motioned him to take a look at the work certificate.
Wang Tinghan curiously opened it. There was a letter sandwiched between the work certificate, and there was a pattern of the sun, moon and stars on the envelope.
"Belonging to the First Division Independent Regiment, I have made outstanding military achievements since the War of Independence. In the first year of Daye, I was awarded the title of the founding county son. I did not lower my rank and inherited the title. Am I a noble?" Wang Tinghan looked uncomfortable.
"It's normal to be uncomfortable. Relax. This is Nanhua. Look, there is a Japanese brothel over there, but the level here is low and does not match your title of viscount.
The Japanese brothel in the city is more upscale. I heard that it is a mixture of the Tang Empire and the Qing Empire. There is no dead face, but it cannot be illegal. I will not go to the detention center to rescue people." Jiang Wang teased.
"I have only been out for two years. I have changed a lot." Wang Tinghan looked at the people coming and going outside the car.
It happened that the school was over, and the children of all ages boarded the school bus under the guidance of the teacher.
There were also people who lived nearby or wanted to go out and have fun, playing in groups of three or five on the street.

Then I met my teacher\\/parents and acquaintances? I became honest all of a sudden.
"Really energetic!" Wang Tinghan exclaimed.
Hearing this, Jiang Wang's eyes lit up and he looked at Wang Tinghan's arm.
"Have you fallen behind in tactics in the past two years?" Jiang Wang asked.
"How could I forget when I'm eating?" Wang Tinghan laughed softly.
"Go to the shooting range." Jiang Wang said to the driver, and the vehicle turned to the nearest shooting range.
"New guy, shoot R, this thing is very useful in some cases, try it." Jiang Wang took out his revolver.
"It's a bit heavy, such a big pistol bullet?" Wang Tinghan picked up the revolver and tested the weight.
"We have tried several pistols, but the results were not satisfactory. Semi-automatic pistols are prone to jamming, and revolvers are either not powerful enough or heavier than this.
The gun factory made this monster. Don't say it, it's not bad. Be careful, the recoil is a bit strong." Jiang Wang said as he stepped back.
ID card-
Bang!
"Hiss~ I didn't expect it to be so big." Wang Tinghan almost lost his grip, and the muzzle was seriously lifted.
"You shoot one cylinder first, get used to it, and start counting the rings from the next cylinder." Jiang Wang handed over the bullet box considerately.
"Now." Wang Tinghan poured out the bullets in the cylinder and reloaded.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang! ...
"Forty-seven rings!" The driver acted as a target reporter.
"Yes, you are one of the best intelligence officers in my hands." Jiang Wang nodded.
"I have thought of a good place to go. The Boy Scouts need instructors. I will live in the Boy Scouts during this period, find a wife and have a child by the way." Jiang Wang teased.

"This..." Wang Tinghan was silent. He longed for, but was afraid of the life.
After experiencing the baptism of machine guns and artillery in the Boer area, he was afraid that he would become less agile.
"This is an order. It happens to give you an officer's status. The officer's salary plus your title subsidy and manor, my God, an enviable life." Jiang Wang sorted out Wang Tinghan's clothes.
"The Boy Scouts are made up of children. Children are the future of this country. Lead them well and let them have good qualities such as bravery, strength, sacrifice, and kindness. No one is more suitable than you."

"What's so urgent?" Xu Hui hurried into Liu Yiming's office, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"The intelligence department's people in South Africa are back, bringing back 220 tons of gold." Liu Yiming said while Xu Hui was drinking water.
Gulp?
Gulp!
Hiccup!
Tadu-xiao \u003c. Say, no GG online-free reading-~\u003e Read!
Ugh~
After a while, Xu Hui recovered.
"Didn't they say it was only 20 tons?" Xu Hui had nowhere to put his hands.
"There is a little unexpected gain. We got the Boers' strategic reserve. Relax, this is less than 1\\/3 of their pre-war production." Liu Yiming deliberately laughed at Xu Hui.
"The biggest factor restricting our development at present is the gold reserve. The central bank is considering using the German model, but we are not sure whether the people can accept it. This batch of gold is worth 4.7 billion, and the government will buy it with brand new banknotes." Xu Hui was quite excited.
Every year, Nanhua has a large surplus, but it is mainly in currency, such as pounds, dollars, francs, etc., and the currency issued is also based on foreign exchange.
The central bank does not have much gold in its possession, which makes it afraid to let go. Foreign exchange is volatile, and the gold content is determined by the issuing country rather than the market.
Gold reserves are the foundation of a country and an important factor restricting the development of Nanhua students.
"That's what I think. After that, the money will be invested in society except for the part left by the intelligence department." Liu Yiming nodded, which is equivalent to handing over the money.
As for why it is going around in circles?
Discussion group 563743675
After circulating in society, no one can see anything. It's just that Nanhua's development has accelerated a little. If it is directly charged into the treasury, how to explain this money? How to record it?
"Since the funds are in place, the hydropower station project is better to be completed at one time. Tesla is investigating the middle and upper reaches of the river and claims that it can build several more hydropower stations." Xu Hui immediately began to arrange the money.
"There is also the construction of the shipyard, the cleaning of the port of Banjarmasin, and the construction of Xindu can also be accelerated. There should also be an architectural university, and the student nutrition supplement plan is also on the agenda..." Xu Hui said one by one.
"Student malnutrition?" Liu Yiming grasped the key points.
"It's not malnutrition, but through the comparison of the past five years, the proper amount of nutrition supplementation during the student period can improve physical fitness. You know, these immigrants are originally in very average health." Xu Hui shook his head hurriedly.
Liu Yiming never believed in human nature. He could resist temptation once, but twice, three times, or four times? Just like when he was the emperor, he couldn't resist seeing those eight unfamiliar seal characters.
So from time to time, people were organized to investigate. With multiple intelligence agencies and the supervision system of the Production and Construction Corps, it is not easy to cover up if something goes wrong.
There are only a few labor reforms and dozens of dismissals from public office. For a country, it is already extremely clean.
"In this way, you keep 47 million, and the rest are used to buy national bonds. I will implement it directly." Xu Hui said in a negotiating tone.
"Okay." Liu Yiming looked at Xu Hui who was serious, and he couldn't say no!

"What is the situation between Japan and Russia?" Xu Hui asked as if he was following the procedure.
"Nothing has changed. After the snow melted, it rained again in spring. The roads were muddy and neither side could deploy troops, but time was on the Russian side." Liu Yiming shrugged.
"The Russians have loaned money again?" Xu Hui felt that this war was really strange. For a month, the news came that the two sides fired artillery at each other every day, but they stopped after a few shots - because they lacked shells.
The Russians were reluctant to give up the books, and the Russian army was short of transportation capacity, so the shells were kept for defense.
"The shells worth 10 million yuan are mainly naval shells. Maybe they suddenly found that there were no shells in their ammunition depot?" Liu Yiming guessed the correct answer directly.
The ammunition for large-caliber artillery in the Tsar's Pacific Fleet was seriously insufficient, and the only shells were of poor quality - did they think of another fleet? They were both about the same.
"What did they use as collateral?" Xu Hui wanted to leave, but he just cheated 100 million and took away 220 tons of gold, so he was embarrassed to leave directly.
"The French acted as middlemen and used the income from the Baku oil field." Liu Yiming poured tea for Xu Hui again.
"No, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Xu Hui saw that Liu Yiming was about to have a long chat, so he couldn't resist and left.
"Well, it's time for me to get off work, too. Come on, Prime Minister." Liu Yiming put down the teapot and looked at the pendulum clock, which was a personal gift from Edward VII.

"I already know, everyone, leave!" The old witch drove away the flies that were extremely annoying to her with a stern tone.
"Li Lianying, you said, you are just praising my good people, why do these slaves look like this? Are you afraid that I am the Emperor of Wu Zhou?" The old witch sat on the chair.
"The slave dare not comment, old Buddha, calm down, anger hurts your body..." Eunuch Li knelt on the ground.
"Get up, they don't think about it, if these people were long-haired, they would have been in chaos long ago, if I were the Emperor of Wu Zhou, I would have done something big long ago. I won't live for a few years, and the emperor is a loser." The old witch shook her head.
"Tell me, how come no one can understand my painstaking efforts? Can such a big world be handed over to the emperor?" The old witch did not hide her disappointment in the emperor.
The decline of the Qing Empire was systematic. Osman continued to reform and produced several warriors, which successfully extended Osman's life.
The upper echelons of the entire ruling system of the Qing Empire were completely rotten and hopeless. The only hope was that Emperor Guangxu was incompetent and did not know how to judge people.
If the old witch was planning a rebellion, it might be more effective to reselect and train a successor...
