[Titanic] Golden House

Chapter 76

When Rose felt that she, a butterfly flapping its wings in the Atlantic Ocean, would bring about changes in this world, this China, she realized that she was just a drop of oil that fell into the ocean.

Unremarkable!

And when Rose finally gave up singing to conquer, the drop of oil found the volcano under the ocean and set the sea ablaze.

The flames illuminate half of the country!

The future of Huaxia has taken another path with Zhang Muyuan.Although this road was also full of thorns and thorns, it made Huaxia truly stand up and become independent.

Although China at that time was still faint like the light of a firefly, although China at that time was still not seen by the world's powerful countries.But he is really complete, and there is no country anymore.

Before World War I, China was still a country full of warlords.The authority of the central government is only superficial.

But the wisdom of the Chinese people for thousands of years is not in the water.Combined with the method of controlling the country by a strong country.Huaxia finally found its own way to become a powerful country.

Coordinated by the central government, autonomous by warlords.All military officers must have studied at the Central Military Academy before they can be recognized.

The election system for the president, the appointment system for military officers, and the selection and assessment system for government civil servants are all announced to the public.

Zhang Muyuan, the president of Huaxia, finally wiped out all foreign forces from the land of Huaxia before resigning from office.

Here, although he is indispensable, there are also timing, location, and harmony with people.The expansion and protraction of the First World War.Let those Europeans' deterrence against China continue to decline.And a large number of officers from the Central Military Academy have also been brainwashed one after another, instilling the idea of ​​the central government and expelling foreign humiliation.

Zhang Muyuan was not the first president of the Republic of China, nor was he the last president of the Republic of China.But he is the most memorable president in the history of the Republic of China.

The unification of the country was completed without bloodshed, which has to be said to be a great feat.

Of course, in the eyes of those foreigners, the president of China is extremely despicable and shameless.

If the opposing countries such as Britain, France, Russia and Germany do not withdraw their troops from China, or do not return to the original Chinese concession.Then Huaxia will devote all its power to support the opponents of these countries, whether in financial resources or in the direction of the military.

In the negotiation process, threats, temptations, and various means emerge in endlessly.In the end, those negotiators agreed to Huaxia's request either for national benefit or for personal gain.

China is still very weak, the army is weak, the government is weak, and the people are also weak.But bones without meat can still bite into a person's teeth.

Especially when the war is not as easy as expected.

Huaxia has seized a very powerful opportunity for negotiation.This made those Europeans grit their teeth with hatred but couldn't help but endure it temporarily.

Those Europeans endured unanimously, thinking in their hearts that they would give China a good look after the war is over.

A war, a world war that took place in Europe but spread to the whole world.It was unexpected by everyone.

Of course, this does not include Rose.Because of Rose's "eat inside and outside", the news of the First World War, as well as the history of each center and all that she knew were sent back to China via telegrams.

This is also an important prerequisite for Zhang Muyuan to accurately grasp the chance of recovery.

Recover these concessions and drive foreign forces out of China.Although the means are not bright, but the results are remarkable.The ordinary people in Huaxia who didn't know it saw only the fact that foreigners got out of China.

And those local warlords, although they have never been interested in this "weak scholar", but his move made these bloody warlords raise their thumbs one after another.

Later, Zhang Muyuan gained the approval of these warlords as soon as the document on the self-government of the warlords was promulgated.

There is no shortage of self-motivated warlords, but more warlords also know their own weight, so why not support a pro-warlord president on the premise that they cannot become a big president.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Muyuan set up supervisory bureaus in various places without being blocked.

Boil the frog in warm water, but that's it.

Two years later, Zhang Muyuan heard about Rose's suggestion to regularly organize the recruitment and examination of government office personnel every year.As for the recruited people, Zhang Muyuan invited all the local warlords to go to Beijing to select talents suitable for him.

Little by little, it eroded the local power of the local warlords.It is the goal that Zhang Muyuan has been working hard for.In his view, the power of the country should be concentrated in the center.But this matter was not finished until he resigned.

However, he believed that the political power and military power would one day be unified.And this belief in my heart was not fully realized until decades later.

At this time, as the current president of Huaxia and the president of the Reform Society, Zhang Muyuan did not have an army in his hands, but as Kang Xing, a primitive member of the Reform Society, he had the Sichuan Army in his hands.At the same time, the principal of the Central Military Academy is also a member of the Reform Society.

Therefore, the seemingly weak President Zhang has thick thighs like steel.This also kept many of his policies from being stranded.

In January [-], when all foreign powers had withdrawn from China's territory, the First World War was still going on.

Everyone is watching how those European ghosts and animals will deal with Huaxia, a rebellious sheep, after the war is over.

It's a pity that they expected the beginning, but they didn't expect the end.Those people really want to clean up China, but no matter how weak China is, it is not easy for the Europeans who have fought for more than four years to suppress it.

In four years, almost all the elite armies of those European powers were consumed on the battlefield.

In four years, Huaxia already had the strength to resist.

Although in the past four years, Huaxia has been doing a little bit of business.

It turned out that during World War I, China did not send troops to any country.Because during the First World War, the whole country of China was busy developing the economy and sending away uninvited guests at home.It doesn't matter if people are flying away on the other side of the sea.

Plus the informant about the 'little wall-digger' Rose holding a small hoe.Huaxia is vigorously developing light industry, and the materials needed for the battlefield have all gone abroad and shipped to cruise ships heading to the front line.

The Huaxia people are not kind, no matter what is produced, as long as the starting price is given, both hostile parties can buy Huaxia's products.This also extended a lot of time for the subsequent war.

When the front-line soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, they discovered that the enemy had used the same materials as them.In my heart, I cursed the Chinese people who sold this batch of supplies.

In this way, both sides of Huaxia provided supplies, so that both sides of World War I were entangled in having to buy them when they had to buy them.The enemy in the opposite trench has something, if they don't have it, who knows if it will affect anything.

Those damn Chinese people.That group of Chinese people who are dishonest as sheep.

No matter how much those European ghosts want to tear Huaxia and Huaxia people apart.But I have to admit that in this battle alone, countless upstarts who made war fortunes appeared in the land of Huaxia.There are small country workshops, one next to the other.The money earned was also deposited in the central bank established by the country one after another.

With the high interest given by the country, the economy of his hometown and country is being developed.Especially the slogan put out by the country - 'To get rich, build roads first'.It's amazing to make these local wealthy upstarts agree.

After the road is built, the goods from their workshop can be transported to the battlefield faster.Grab business opportunities.And they don't need to pay for road construction, they just deposit the money in the national bank. They can get on a good road and get high interest.

And the country can also use this money to open factories and produce materials needed for various wars.

Sure enough, war is the source of wealth.

The Chinese government thinks so, and even ordinary people in China think so.

So when World War I was over, it wasn't the defeated country that was the first to be disappointed.It is the Huaxia people whose export trade volume has declined. For this reason, many merchants in Huaxia, even urns and coffin boards have put up marketing slogans such as buy big and get small, buy two get one free, and clearance sale. A different kind of joke.

After World War I, all European countries began to recuperate.At this time, China is on the rise.

An unstoppable force rushed straight into the sky.This made European countries grit their teeth, and also made Rose, who was far away in the United States, both proud and worried about his weak stamina.

Thinking of the famous military exercises in later generations, the million-dollar training.Rose quickly sorted out the details she could think of and sent them to Huaxia.

It is said that raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while.How to raise soldiers is not just for food and drink, just tied in the barracks.It is a mule or a horse, and it must be pulled out to practice.

Seeing Rose's telegram, Zhang Muyuan consulted with a few confidantes.Finally, it was decided that there would be two military exercises every spring and autumn.All provinces and warlords must send people to participate.

The winning army or individual will receive a bonus from the central government.Moreover, the process and results of the competition will also electrify the whole country.This kind of competition carries honor, and no warlord wants to be compared.

It is also for this reason that each warlord will go all out during the exercise.Let those foreigners who are eyeing China dare not act rashly.

It not only trained soldiers, but also deterred its neighbors.It has also strengthened the central government's understanding and micro-control of all levels of the military, which can be said to have achieved multiple goals in one fell swoop.

Of course, there are other things in it, these are beyond what Rose can think of.

It was also at this time that Fusang stepped forward.He became an ally of China in a gesture beyond ordinary people's comprehension.Huaxia's military strength made those Fusang people both happy and surprised.

Song Xinyu succeeded, this is an undoubted fact.This alliance continued until the stock market crash of [-].

Fusang's wolf ambition, this alliance, whether it is Huaxia people or Song Xinyu in Fusang, knows that it will not last long.

But at this time, Huaxia needed Fusang to stand with him.A piece of fat just escaped from his mouth.European ghosts and animals will not agree.After they had slowed down, they naturally wanted to put the meat back into their mouths and swallow it into their stomachs.

Therefore, before Huaxia really becomes stronger, this kind of alliance is good even if it is a bluff.

And now in Fusang, how many pure-blooded Fusang people are there?Except for a few people in the entire military and political circles who are pure-blooded, their blood has long been impure.

But despite this, whether it is the ambition in the blood, or the animal nature of human beings.It all means that the bowing time will not be too long.

Both Song Xinyu and Rose supported this point of view.Even Zhang Muyuan, who had stepped down from the presidency, knew it very well.

Sure enough, this alliance lasted only 60 years.After Song Xinyu passed away, and after the emperor who was taught by Song Xinyu passed away one after another, Fusang finally exposed his ambition to the world.

But 60 years, Rose is 80 years old.At this time, the Republic of China is no longer a small country that can be easily shaken.

The spies buried in Fusang through Song Xinyu have long since disappeared.As soon as there was a little trouble on their side, Huaxia put the whole country on alert.

But no matter what, during the Second World War, both Huaxia and Fusang became soy saucers.But even if there is really no such thing as Huaxia.At that time, the Chinese government did not know for what purpose, it even organized a Chinese expeditionary force, went to the battlefield of World War II, and went to the place of foreigners to show the iron bones and tenderness of the Chinese soldiers.

There is nothing wrong with it, it is indeed tenderness.The pride of the Chinese men completely conquered the hearts of those foreign girls.

Even if the Huaxia government is not interested in the marriage between the two countries, it cannot resist the rushing girl's heart.

......

At the end of the 70s, the color camera that Rose had been looking forward to for a lifetime finally came out.This has to be said to be a kind of completeness.

But the old creases all over the face made Rose no longer interested in taking pictures.Over the years, Rose's photo album has taken up an entire room.

The older she got, the more Rose wanted to look through the photos left over the years.Later, Karl deliberately expanded the study.On one side of the study is Rose's album area, and on the other side are many bookshelves.Half of the above are romance novels that Rose likes to read.

In the middle of the study, next to the album area, there are sofas, coffee tables, and chaise longues.These are obviously with Rose's personal characteristics.

On the other side of the bookshelf, there is a double-sided writing desk.It is self-evident who is using the half rigorous, half relaxed style of placement.

Rose had only two sons in her life.Carl has been single-minded by Rose from the beginning to the end.

Maybe it's because of the age of the two of them, maybe it's because Rose has been well maintained these years.Carl's eyes were not attracted by the wildflowers outside.This also made Rose let go of her plan to murder her husband.

Rather than letting him follow other women, it's better to kill him and be a rich black widow to save worry.

The older Rose got, the more she believed in karma.Especially the sisters who became the first lady in the Republic of China.This time, the two sisters have their own marriage.Never steal someone else's husband again.Maybe that's why.So instead of the bleakness of having no children and no daughters at the beginning, children are around their knees in their later years, and their lives are complete.

Although there is no supreme glory, it makes a woman have no regrets in her life.

With a single thought, the trajectory of fate will be different.

And sometimes, just a small change can make a big difference in history.Rose didn't know if there were Zhang Muyuan or not in history, but she did know that someone was delayed for life.

There is no wife from a well-born family, and no good brother-in-law.I didn't take advantage of the chaos to catch a good time.Even the necessary contact with some important people in the Republic of China was completely destroyed.

And the famous historical sentence of "to fight against the outside world, we must first settle the inside" can no longer be known by ancient and modern times.

It can be described as time and fate.

This person, do not say worth mentioning.

Rose's life has been smooth sailing.Don't worry about small things, she doesn't need to worry about big things.In addition to collecting rent for a lifetime, he was a landlord.It was the lunch box factory I opened.

Although during the global financial crisis, Rose also shut down the lunch box factory in response to the general situation.But when conditions allowed, she still opened the small factory.

There are not many produced every year, but they have always been at the forefront of the lunch box field.Others have been imitating, but no one has ever surpassed.This is also considered a success.Although she never wanted to admit it, she was also imitating.

Others have always been amazed by the style and concept of the lunch box of Rose Factory, and even Carl never thought that Rose's lunch box factory would go to today.

Only Rose knows that she doesn't have any innovative talents at all, and all of this is just the accumulation of a lifetime.

Rufu's old age was very happy.It's just that when he was dying, the way he looked at Rose was a little weird.

Because of decades of getting along, Rose has long regarded Rufu, a cheap mother, as her real mother.Rose didn't notice this strangeness.

Maybe only Rufu himself knows.What has happened to her own biological daughter.It's not like she didn't feel the spiritual bond between mother and daughter.But she subconsciously didn't think about it, she didn't dare to think about it.

Until his deathbed, he looked at Rose, who was haggard and mournful because of her.She didn't ask out the doubts that had been hidden in her heart for decades.

Little Mr. Andrew still feels very kind to this sister.Of course, he likes the two 'big' nephews of his own sister's family the most.

My elder sister often drives her own cruise ship back and forth between Britain and the United States. When Mr. Andrew Jr. was young, he would often follow his elder sister to live in the United States.

Even when I was in school, I went to primary school with my oldest nephew.And when they went to the intermediate grade in primary school, the little nephew also went to primary school.Since then, the Gang of Three has never been separated.Until little Mr. Andrew grows up, the relationship between him and his sister's family should be very close.

When it comes to learning, it has to be said that Rose and Carl have good genes.Both sons are very smart, especially the youngest son, who turned out to be a legendary school bully.This surprised Rose and Carl very much.

The eldest son's business acumen is completely inherited from Karl, and he has a black heart.The youngest son is purer.However, it may be that he has read too many books, and he seems to be a bit dumb by nature.It's not as glib as it was when I was a child.

And people have become a lot more naive.

Although this point, neither Rose nor Carl is willing to admit it.They were able to give birth to such a 'pure and kind' son.Especially the youngest son actually picks on the merits of their husband and wife.

If it wasn't for Rose, who thought that her son had been hugged wrongly, she specially tested the blood back.Only then had to admit that this was indeed their son.

But even so, Rose would often say that it must be a genetic mutation of the Hockley family.Because, she has been educated by countless modern TV, movies, novels and news. People who don't even dare to pick up money when they see money dropped on the ground while walking on the road are modern people.

So the appearance of the second son has absolutely nothing to do with her.

When Rose was sure that she would never have children again, she and Carl made a will together.

The youngest son has no talent for business, so the factory will not give him anything.Rose gave all her real estate and land in the United States to her youngest son.The factory was given to the eldest son.The gold that has always been in the system has also been quietly stored in her studio next to her bedroom.

Her system really seems to be a free phone credit when buying a mobile phone.The longer the time, the fewer updates.At least in the past ten years, even Xiao Jiang, the system manager who spoke very annoyingly, did not know where he went.

For a moment, it made Rose miss the scene when they bickered.

For the Hockley family's absolute right to speak in the steel plant, Karl gave all the factory stocks to his eldest son.However, the financial property in his hands was divided equally between his two sons.

Generally speaking, the two sons share more or less property, but in fact, they each get what they need.The son who can't do business can guard the land and live the life of a small landlord.

The eldest son who got the factory and stocks can also show his talents and start his own business empire.

Rose is a lot younger than Carl.The body has always been very good.Karl didn't know how to take care of it when he was young, but when he was old, he found all kinds of diseases and pains.

Rose was always worried that Carl would go before her to meet the God whom no one had ever seen.But that day still came.

When Carl was dying, Rose cried heartbroken.But she was still lying next to his ear, speaking sweet words that hadn't stopped for decades.

She knew Carl liked to hear that, she'd always known.

In the end, Rose gently crawled into Carl's ear and said in a voice that only he could hear: "My name is Ming Lan, born in China. If there is a next life, we will still be together, okay? "

She hasn't said this name for many years.She thought she had long forgotten.But only now did she realize that everything in her previous life was still traceable.

At this time, she hoped that she could use Xu Karl's next life in her previous life.

as long as he wants.

Yes, if he will,

As long as he is willing, it is worthwhile for her to spend her whole life praying to God.

It turns out, it turns out....Karl nodded knowingly. Those things that he hadn't figured out until now finally had answers.But at this moment, those are not important anymore.

Lifting his head with difficulty, Carl made a lifetime promise to Rose with the last bit of strength in his body and a smile that was too faint to be found.

If there is an afterlife...

Let me promise you love for the rest of my life, so why not...
