Chapter 119

The call from Bingcheng originated from the connection between the functional departments of the Middle East Railway Administration and 19 major stations along the line to direct transportation and production.Later, with the gradual development of the ice city, this phone also entered the ice city.

Zhu Chuanwen's Hanyao Company also recently applied for a telephone through the relationship of the Russian Chamber of Commerce.

The operation of the wall-mounted magnet telephone was trained by Russian engineers, which was very troublesome.After Doug called Andre and reported that Zhu Chuanwen wanted to visit, Zhu Chuanwen also called home and said that he had something to do in the evening and would not come back for dinner.

Given Zhu Chuanwen's current relationship with Andre, it's not a big deal or an honor to go to his house for a meal.

Andre's study
"Mr. Zhu, what do you want me to do?" Andre asked while sitting on his exclusive wooden sofa. Recently, because of the affairs of the Mongolian government, he was busy for a while, and Zhu Chuanwen didn't come here again. Concern, but Doug occasionally talked to him about Zhu Chuanwen's recent situation, which made Andre very satisfied.

"Master Andre, my factory may organize a small-scale parade after tomorrow, so I'm here to explain it to you. Of course, if you don't agree, I don't plan to do it." Zhu Chuanwen said with a retreat .

"What parade?" Andre, as Zhu Chuanwen expected, was very sensitive to such things.

"There was a worker from the Qing Dynasty who was owed wages. He was a woman and a child. It is said that the wage owed was a Jewish businessman." Zhu Chuanwen briefly talked about the incident.Although short, the key information is sufficient.

"A lot?" Andre listened, feeling that it was not a big deal. He didn't like the Jews in his heart. From the last time Nicholas II waved a butcher knife to ask Zhu Chuanwen's opinion on this race, he could feel it. come out.

"Not much, 150 rubles." Zhu Chuanwen said truthfully.

"Then you can't help this poor woman and child?" Andre asked sympathetically.

"My lord, I can help her, one, two, or even ten, twenty. But I can't be asked to help every time. I think it's only natural to give money to work." Zhu Chuanwen said.

"Okay, I agree. Be careful not to make it too big." Andre said after some consideration. He is considered a young reformer, and he is very tolerant of this kind of parade within the normal range.

"My lord, this is actually the reason why I came to you. I want to ask your soldiers to maintain order. We ask for salary in a civilized manner, and we only ask for salary. We will not do anything out of the ordinary." Zhu Chuanwen compared "civilization" and " It's just that the word "is very heavy.

This is also what he thought, to let the Russian army guarding the ice city maintain order. On the one hand, it is to reassure Andre, and on the other hand, it is to suppress people with power. See?Russian escort, there are people behind us!

"Okay!" Andre's last worry was dispelled. It was just a demonstration to demand salary, nothing else.Originally, he planned to let the soldiers stand by around, but now it seemed that he could just come forward.

"You are really a person with a sense of justice." Zhu Chuanwen did not hesitate to praise himself.

"Okay, I have some news here. The British "Dreadnought" has been launched." Andre said, he was afraid that Zhu Chuanwen would not know what the "Dreadnought" was, and he also detailed the parameters of this class of warships. The 10-inch heavy guns are his tusks.

"It seems that the arms race with Germany has started." Zhu Chuanwen said after listening to Andre's words.

Thus began the arms race between the two sides.

"It seems that the German "Dreadnought" is about to launch." Andre speculated after hearing Zhu Chuanwen's words.

I have analyzed it with Andre before. In the future, the situation in Europe will change from the confrontation between Russia and Britain to the confrontation between Britain and Germany.

Both sides want to compare each other's military strength. Britain is an old capitalist power with the title of empire on which the sun never sets. However, since the 19th century, countries such as France, Germany, and Russia have also begun to covet him as the number one in the world. The name of a powerful country.

So in order to suppress these countries, Britain is implementing a "Greater Britain" plan to make all countries in the world submit to its influence.

However, the emerging industrial countries that are becoming increasingly powerful, the German Empire is also implementing a so-called "Great Germany" or "Central European Empire" plan, trying to include the countries of Central Europe and establish a huge German Empire in Africa and the Pacific region, directly threatened British colonial interests.

Compared with Zhu Chuanwen's thinking of an outsider, Andre's thinking is more complicated. His mother is of mixed English and German. Up to now, the relationship with the British side and even the German side is still moving, and it can be foreseen right now. Yes, there may be a war between the two countries in the future.

At that time, which side will Russia stand on? This is a question that Andre will look at from the perspective of the country after giving up his personal emotions.

But at the moment, Andre doesn't have any right to make decisions, so he and Zhu Chuanwen, a well-informed Qing native, are just talking to each other over the world map.

So, compared to the small matter discussed by Zhu Chuanwen just now, how dare the light of rice grains compete with Haoyue for such a big matter?
In fact, this is also one of Andre's ways to relax. He has great ambitions, and there are some things that he can't confide to members of his own faction like Wisconsin. The appearance of Zhu Chuanwen just made up for this gap.

After all, a person from the Qing Dynasty would know what Andre said, so in front of Zhu Chuanwen, Andre would express some dissatisfaction and resentment, such as the tactics of the Tsarist Russian army, and the stupid decision of the Tsarist Russian minister.

None of this has anything to do with Zhu Chuanwen, he is considered a political trash can of Andre.

Zhu Chuanwen stirred the black tea in front of him, added some sugar, listened while drinking, and then responded in a timely manner, which made Andre very comfortable.

Coming out of Andre's house, Zhu Chuanwen came home and saw that the light in Gu Ansheng's office was still on. As soon as he entered the door, he saw banners all over the floor, some in Chinese and some in Russian.

"President, are you back?" Gu Ansheng was still writing hard, and what was written on it was the speech he would read tomorrow when he was going to mobilize the employees.

"I'm back, the garrison commander will send a platoon of soldiers." Zhu Chuanwen finished speaking halfway, and Gu Ansheng had already stopped writing, and he suddenly lost his energy.

"What's wrong, An Sheng?" Zhu Chuanwen asked thoughtlessly.

"President, it seems that the work of the afternoon was for nothing." Hearing that the Russians sent soldiers, he felt that the job could not be done, and suddenly gave up the task.

"Look, Ansheng, why have you become so reckless." Zhu Chuanwen shook his head, it seems that Gu Ansheng still has his own shortcomings, "I haven't finished talking yet, the soldiers in this platoon are here Keeping order. Protest, let's do it!"
