Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 487 Zhu Family's First Enclave

"My dear old chap, have you heard? The youngest daughter of the von Tirpitz family is going to marry an Oriental!"

"Oriental, like Madame Butterfly?"

"Old man, I have seen the future son-in-law of von Tirpitz's family. If he is recognized as Japanese, he will be very angry and say Japanese pirates are curse words!" This middle-aged man with a beard Literally repeating Zhu Chuanwu's original words.

On the streets of Berlin, two respectable Junker nobles met by chance, and happened to talk about a major event that happened in Berlin recently...

The whole of Berlin was stunned by the news that last year because of the Moroccan crisis, Alfred von Tirpitz, who was promoted by Wilhelm II from the deputy chief of the Navy Bureau, was going to marry his daughter.Not the royal family as everyone speculated, but married an oriental who had just graduated from the Imperial Army Command Academy.

This shocked the jaws of many Junker nobles. Even Emperor William II broke a lot of things in his palace. In William II's view, how could an outstanding German marry an Oriental? He is the instigator of the Yellow Peril theory, and he may have other grievances in his heart. After venting a bit, he is powerless to do anything about the private affairs of his subordinates.

Right now, Britain and Germany are engaged in an unprecedented naval military competition. Since the British battleship Dreadnought, the Germans have also adjusted their deployment one after another and started the construction of such a large battleship.

Among them, Alfred von Tirpitz, the current head of the German Navy Bureau, the father of the German Ocean Fleet, and the Marshal of the German High Seas Fleet, has become the most reliable subordinate of William II. Capable Marshal, the development of the German Navy could not be so smooth.

Tirpitz estate
Standing at the door of a room with medals on his chest and two beards, he hesitated and finally knocked on the door.

"Help me see if this dress fits!"

The sunlight gently sprinkled into this room full of European aristocratic decorations. Under the sunlight, a pretty girl was facing the door with her back to the door, holding the hem of her skirt, shaking it back and forth. But the biggest day of her life.

"Hannah, it's me!" Alfred coughed softly.

"Ah!" Hannah screamed in surprise. Turning around, she saw her father rushing up with the skirt in her hand, hugging the bald man with a bushy beard in surprise.

"Father!" This man was Hannah von Tirpitz's father, Alfred von Tirpitz. "Father, why are you back?" Hannah's head seemed to be buried between her beards, and her voice was still a little choked.

"No manners!" Tie Han couldn't hide his smile, and patted Hannah's back lightly, as if he disliked Hannah. "My youngest daughter is getting married, how can I be absent as a father?"

"I thought, I thought..." Hannah was so moved that she was about to cry, these words were a little hard to say, although under her stubbornness, this loving father still planned to let her pursue her own happiness.But the rift between father and daughter still exists...

"However, have you really decided? If you regret it now, I will immediately stop the preparations for the wedding!"

"No!" Hannah stopped her father immediately, and at the same time let go of her arms around her neck, but hugged this man's arm again. "Father, I have made a decision. As you said, I am your youngest daughter, and my marriage is based on my wishes!"

"But I never thought that you would marry so far away. I heard that people there still wear braids!" Alfred sighed long after speaking, blaming himself for being too spoiled This little girl is gone.

"You are biased. Chuanwu is the most delicate, polite, and manly Oriental I have ever met! I once swore to the Eiffel Tower in my heart that if Chuanwu could find him in the first place that day. Me, I will marry him. He found me, and I should fulfill my promise!"

"But have you ever thought that this is a decision that affects you all over your body. You know, His Majesty the Emperor heard the news..."

"Father, as you said, I will not become a tool of family marriage. This is your promise to me."

"But you should also find a German, I believe..." Alfred was about to talk about his desire to find a good husband for his daughter, but Hannah covered his mouth and didn't let him continue.

"You know, what are you giving up?" Alfred asked.

"I know, isn't it Feng? I heard that this is the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor?"

In Germany, as long as you are a nobleman, you will have a "Feng" in your name. Of course, this is the habit of Chinese translation. As for the reason, it is more appropriate to translate "Feng". knighthood conferred.

The angry William II also made efforts. If Alfred's daughter wanted to marry an Oriental, she would have to give up her title of nobility.

"You know, then you still..." Alfred stroked his daughter's hair reluctantly.

"Life is precious, love is more expensive, not to mention just a title! Could it be that I will not be my father's daughter in the future?" Hannah looked indifferent.

"Hey..." Alfred sighed heavily.

"I believe that Chuanwu and I will have a cute mixed-race baby!"

Alfred sighed again, even considering the matter of having a child in the future, obviously there was nothing he could do at this time.

"If this Zhu Chuanwu makes you wronged in the Far East, I will lead my high seas fleet to head straight for the Far East!" Alfred could only shout at this moment.He became a full-time employee from the deputy director of the German Navy Bureau last year. He has been iron-blooded all his life. He didn't expect to have nothing to do with his little daughter. At this time, he can only look at his daughter who is about to marry like all old fathers. , I was crazy jealous.Shouting like impotent rage.

"No, father, Chuanwu and I will live happily ever after." Hannah said with determination.

It's hopeless... Alfred let out a long sigh.

Tomorrow, Zhu Chuanwu and Hannah's wedding will be held at Tirpitz Manor...

But in Hanyao Manor on the outskirts of Berlin, Zhu Chuanwu, the groom official, was holding a flower in his hand and clutching the petals with one hand, looking at the busy people in the manor, looking a little idly.

"Uncle Jiao, are you ready for tomorrow's affairs?" Zhu Chuanwu heard footsteps behind him, turned his head and saw Lao Jiao who looked like a nanny, and asked aloud.

"Master Chuanwu, get ready!"

"Okay, Uncle Jiao, tomorrow you are my elder, how many times have you said it, just call me Chuanwu." Zhu Chuanwu general threw the flower in his hand towards the green belt where he was sitting under the fence just now , stood beside Lao Jiao.

"Okay, Chuanwu, is it true that you don't want to tell Big Brother about this?" Lao Jiao was still a little hesitant. Zhu Chuanwu himself decided on such an important matter as his son's marriage. As a father, Zhu Kaishan, who is far away in Kanto But now I don't know anything.

"In this matter, I think we should do as the elder brother said. I married a foreigner, and I married a German who my father hated the most. This matter, no matter how you say it, is not appropriate. Now Hannah is paying for me. After so much, I don’t want him to feel cold because of his father, I’m telling you, when the raw rice is cooked, my father will have to recognize it.” Zhu Chuanwu said.

"The Germans back then were ruthless in killing the Boxers..." Lao Jiao said softly as if recalling something.

"The Germans were invading back then. I could see this very clearly, but my elder brother sent me to study in Germany and met Hannah again..." Zhu Chuanwu seemed to complain.

"Regret?"

"How could it be? I wish to marry Hannah back, but when personal hatred and family-country hatred intertwined, I just didn't expect that my Zhu family would be involved. It just gave me a headache and I couldn't figure it out."

"If you don't understand it, don't think about it! Chuanwu, go, go through the process again, don't make any mistakes tomorrow." Lao Jiao looked at Zhu Chuanwu who suddenly became hesitant beside him, and said as if enlightening.

"Let's go!" Zhu Chuanwu also followed the process of tomorrow's wedding.

The next day, the wedding of Zhu Chuanwu and Hannah was successfully held in the Tirpitz estate. The Tirpitz family can be said to have contracted everything, which is enough to show the German admiral's love for his youngest daughter.

However, Zhu Chuanwen's being the big brother didn't make his younger brother lose face. All Hanyao's office staff in Europe were concentrated in Berlin, and even chefs from the East added luster to this wedding that combined East and West.

Ice City, Zhu's Manor

A red telegram made Zhu Chuanwen happy, and in the blink of an eye, his younger brother was also married.

"What's the matter, what's the progress?" A voice made Zhu Chuanwen's smile stiffen. Old Zhu waved his arms vigorously. He just came back from punching at the door.

Zhu Chuanwen hurriedly covered it up, but fortunately he was not noticed by Lao Zhu, he straightened his expression, and pretended to hand over the document in his hand, but in fact he was sweating, "Father, the good news from the Institute of Chemistry said it was this The matter of the fertilizer has a clue, a bunch of chemical formulas, my head hurts, can you help me check it?"

"Molecular formula?" Hearing this, Zhu Kaishan directly avoided the document that Da'er handed over, and walked away with a look of disgust.

If this is the case, don't give it to me!Zhu Kaishan said in his heart.

Recently, Zhu Chuanwen has also found Lao Zhu's weakness. His father likes to test his martial arts progress. In fact, he just beats his son, because Zhu Chuanwen always disagrees with Lao Zhu about some things.As for Zhu Chuanwen, recently he likes to torture Zhu Kaishan with things like weapon development process, industrial drawing, and even production line construction.

Lao Zhu is a pragmatist. If there is any kind of weapon interview, Lao Zhu will definitely be very interested, but when it comes to this, Lao Zhu is absolutely not interested. Not only fell asleep once, but also lost face several times.

Zhu Chuanwen's move is called advancing by retreating. When Chuanwu brings his daughter-in-law back to the ice city, Lao Zhu can't throw out the German girl and his own daughter-in-law.

Seeing that Lao Zhu didn't look at it, "Then I'll go to Mao Guangting. There's good news about the fertilizer. It's done. Maybe next year our Zhu's grain store will be available!" Zhu Chuanwen hurriedly put away Zhu Chuanwu After receiving the good news, he walked outside, feeling that he had escaped a catastrophe.

"Go, this chemical fertilizer, your chemical research institute has already established a project, and it has cost me a lot of gold, so it's time to show me the results!" Zhu Kaishan had the attitude that I was the party A. At first, he saw The Chemical Fertilizer Project Proposal of the Institute of Chemistry has paid close attention to it for a while.

This is a major event that people depend on food for the sky. As time went by, Lao Zhu gradually lost interest after failing products one after another, but now, there is good news again.Lao Zhu felt that he had recently become an annunciation doll, and there was good news wherever he went.

Now the good news from the Zhu family, the ones in the sky, the water, and the land, made Lao Zhu very happy. Although he didn't understand what these things could do, he just thought they were amazing!
But Lao Zhu didn't know that this was the normal state of Bingcheng.

After Hanyao’s everything is on the right track, the research and development funds are sufficient, relying on the support of laboratories in Europe and the United States, coupled with Zhu Chuanwen’s ideas, and the sweat of his staff, resulting in the ice city always having new things every now and then in the past few years. pop up.

But, there is still a gap between this idea and reality, just like that plastic umbrella, the cost is too high, the difficulty is too high, and it cannot have obvious benefits, which has become a stumbling block at present.

Simply, the "first generation" of many things has a direction, let's go to maturity, Zhu Chuanwen is also waiting to gradually mature like Hanyao water tanks, so that Hanyao can mass-produce.

By the way, the Hanyao water tanks have official names, namely Makino A and Makino B, with A type equipped with guns and B type equipped with Maxim machine guns.

The Battle of Muye is a name that Zhu Chuanwen has thought about for a long time. At the headquarters of Hanyao Commercial Bank in Bingcheng, Zhu Chuanwen found Mao Guangting.

"Guang Ting, come, take a look, good news. You can generate electricity for Lao Gu and let him start to take over Nauru Island."

That's right, the Zhu family gave Alfred, Zhu Chuanwu's father-in-law, their semi-submersible submarine design drawings as a dowry, and Hannah's dowry was an island.

Nauru Island, located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, covers an area of ​​only 24 square kilometers, but three-fifths of the island is covered by phosphates. At present, there are mining factories of the Tirpitz family .

"Nauru Island?" Mao Guangting became interested when he heard it, "Mr. Prime Minister, is this old man who preaches martial arts so generous?"

"Maybe it's because you don't want to see your daughter marrying to the Far East, and you don't want to suffer. In short, you can handle this matter for me, and open an account for Hannah at Hanyao Bank. All the income on Nauru Island will be temporarily transferred to the account. superior."
