From to 1935 2020

"No, Ford just makes cheap junk!"

"It should be made by our British Empire. The logo on the front of the car is a bit like a "Rolls Royce" product, and it is probably hand-made..."

A group of foreigners at the scene pointed at the car and made various guesses.

And when Elena, who was wearing a dinner dress designed in a different world, opened the car door and got out of the car, the eyes of all the guests at the scene widened.This evening dress is for the party, and Elena specially asked someone to order it.

A novel design, well-cut white evening dress was put on an impeccable devil figure, and a pair of crystal high-heeled shoes stepped off the car, matching the angelic beauty of its owner.Golden shawl and long hair—everything is like a princess from a fairy tale world, noble and glamorous.

The flames of jealousy burst out from the eyes of the man and the woman at the same time.

The man is targeting the Chinese Huang Ke who "claims" to be the boyfriend of the "princess", while the woman is targeting the "princess" herself.

The dinner salon started in a peaceful and cheerful atmosphere.

From the very beginning, Elena was the focus of attention at the dinner, but the original real protagonist of the dinner: Song Ziwen's younger brother Song Ziliang, felt like being robbed of the scene.

In the history of the Republic of China, 1935 was a very critical time point. This year can be called the most glorious year in the "golden decade (no black iron)" of Chang Kaishen, the leader of the Cannon Party.

In the past few years, relying on the "silver coin bombs" provided by the chaebols in Jiangsu and Zhejiang headed by the Song family, Chang Kaishen successively defeated the warlords of Feng, Yan, and Li, and joined forces with Zhang Xueliang from the Northeast to successfully enter the central government and become a nominal leaders of Greater China.

And in the past few years, he has embraced the thighs of big gangsters from Britain, the United States and Germany on the outside, and has comprador wealth from Jiangsu and Zhejiang on the inside.

The biggest enemy, the thorn in the side of TG, was beaten away from the Jiangxi base and forced to go on a long march.Relying on "chasing and suppressing" all the way, driving tigers and wolves to gain profits, the Central Army who followed behind also took care of the "teammates" Liu Xiang, Wang Jialie and other local warlords who were greatly damaged after being merged with the Red Army. , seized its territory, and expanded the "central" sphere of influence.And "good brother" Zhang Xiaoliu's hometown in Northeast China was taken over by the Japanese a few years ago. Friends of Taoism are immortal and poor.That idiot Zhang Xiaoliu, obviously I sent a telegram telling him not to resist, that idiot accepted and executed everything and took the initiative to take the blame for me after the incident. He is really a "touching" good brother. (Thanks to our party's super deep sea Nanako for publishing the bald non-resistance telegram, how many fans' faces have been drawn)

It doesn't matter if the Japanese invaded, anyway, the Northeast is not his family's territory, and the dead friends are not dead, and they helped him get rid of a potential enemy.The Northeast Army, which has lost its territory, has gone to its foundation, and Chang Kaishen has the final say on how to rub it.

At the time of May 1935, the Central Red Army on the Long March at this time had left Guizhou and marched northward to Huili in southern Sichuan.During this period, the Chairman of the Standing Committee used the Red Army to advance into Guizhou and fought against Wang Jialie's warlord troops. Wang Jialie's two-pike soldiers were greatly damaged, so he drove the central army that was chasing after him to station in Guizhou, and ordered Xue Yue's department to successfully attack the Nestle Dove. Zhan seized Guizhou and succeeded in adding another province under his control.At this point in May, he has successfully forced Wang Jialie to step down and "study abroad", completely swallowing Guizhou Province into his stomach.

Afterwards, the Red Army attacked northward and turned from Guizhou to Sichuan. The Standing Committee members also flew directly to Chengdu by plane with great joy, planning to drive the Sichuan Army to besiege the Red Army there and then play a game of two tigers. The Central Army will benefit and replicate the success in Guizhou.

For the Chairman of the Standing Committee, his domestic military and national political situation at this time is not a small one, but a great one!But there was also a problem that gave him a headache: the problem was the economy.

As I said before, Roosevelt had already come to power at this time, and the silver crisis triggered by the Silver Act was transferred to China. Now the entire Republic of China is in a frenzy of "money shortage". While destroying China's already fragile national industry, even the traditional small-scale peasant economy agriculture will not be spared.

Regardless of whether the Chairman of the Standing Committee is very prestigious in the country, but he doesn't know that the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols who are paying for him behind his back and using the "silver coin bullets" crazily, and his brother-in-law Song Ziwen are complaining and cursing their mothers!

War is the most costly!When the cannon is fired, ten thousand taels of gold!Although he has swallowed up a lot of land this year, it will take time for these lands to be converted into income. Looking at the current overall expenditure, it is completely negative.The money from the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium did not come from strong winds. In the past few years, they supported the chairman and frantically used silver coins to defeat various warlords.As for the military expenses to pay for its suppression of bandits, it was spent even more fiercely—in fact, during the fifth encirclement and suppression campaign against the Jiangxi base area in 1934, the finances of the Chairman's own regime had also reached their limit.Fortunately, he finally won at this time. If he was defeated like before, there would be no gain, and the endurance of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium had reached its limit.

And in 1935, with the introduction of the Silver Act of the United States to pass on the crisis to China, a large amount of foreign goods poured into China. The hometown of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums: the national industrial factories in their own hands also suffered heavy losses at this time and were harvested by foreigners. It was miserable.

——Historically, the so-called "conscientious" national capitalists of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums invested in bald heads. In fact, it can basically be said to be a loss-making investment that lost everything.

"You deserve the surname Zhao" is the fate of most of them.

They thought they had hugged their thighs thanks to April [-] and selling livers to aid Jiang Nian Nian.In fact, after discovering that the oil and water of this group of people were almost absorbed, the Chairman of the Standing Committee, Song Ziwen's brother-in-law who lured them to support the Cannon Party, and later Kong Xiangxi and his group were like oranges that had been sucked dry. He hesitated to throw them away.

During this period, the ostensible leader and guide of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Group, Brother Song Ziwen and Song Ziliang, kicked away the "traditional" Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium of the former owner. The waist of the British and Americans, as a "foreign comprador" who is more "advanced" than the "bumpkin domestic capitalist", has officially entered the Chinese political arena.

In this year, after Chang Kaishen abandoned the local Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium that was unable to squeeze out any money, the political power that Chang Kaishen belonged to would completely become a comprador regime attached to the support of British, American and foreigners—the comprador regime, which is impossible to support national industry.Because the real gold masters behind them are foreigners, and they still make huge profits by dumping cheaper foreign goods to China!In the eyes of these foreigners, the so-called national capitalists, this kind of "colleagues" are simply more damning "heretics" than "heretics" like the Bolsheviks.

What is more interesting is that Song Ziwen had already resigned early at this time, and Kong Xiangxi is now the executive director and finance minister of the Cannon Party.One crab is worse than one crab, and the latter has gone further on the road of traitorous and comprador than the former.

——This is why after the so-called golden decade, the little national industry left over from the former Qing Dynasty was completely finished, and it became the reason why there was no black iron in the golden decade.Because the Cannon Party regime at this time has completely degenerated into a political force supported by "comprador" forces after Chang Kaishen came to power and the Song and Kong families took charge of the country's finances and economy. It is full of hostility to the power of national capital in the country.

When Huang Ke followed Elena to the dinner held by the British directors, there were many famous guests at the dinner, but they were the so-called "national capitalists" who could be called "respectable", the so-called "match king" and "textile king" who had been famous in the Beiyang period. "King" and so on, those capitalist elites who shouted "industry to save the country" were basically invisible at this time.

The reason is that in the past two years, most of these once famous celebrities have gone bankrupt or their families have fallen, their wealth has shrunk severely, and they even went bankrupt and jumped off the building.

Nowadays, those who can appear in the director's house of the British Concession are either raised by the British or the gun party, used to whitewash peace and publicity vases, horse boys, such as so-and-so literati, celebrities, famous mouths and other "intellectuals" Qingliu", either Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong and other eagle dogs, or Song Ziliang, a "new political star" who is the spokesman for foreigners' interests in China.

Song Ziliang was the most important guest entertained by the British directors at the dinner today.

Song Ziliang (1899-1983), born in Wenchang City, Hainan, was the younger brother of Song Qingling and Song Ziwen, and his father Song Yaoru. Born in Shanghai in 1899.He studied in the United States in his early years, and served as the director of the Shanghai Cultural Affairs Bureau after returning to China after graduation.Director of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, General Manager of China National Bank, General Manager of China Construction Bank Corporation, member of the Guangdong Provincial Government and Director of the Guangdong Department of Finance.

When it comes to the Republic of China, the giant maggots in the Cannon Party regime, everyone first thinks of the Kong family, and the Kong family is most famous for Kong Xiangxi and his daughter, Miss Kong Er.

But in fact, the Song family is not much inferior to the Kong family in this regard.

The most famous figures in the Song family are nothing more than the three sisters of the Song family and the son of Song Ziwen.But in fact, Song Ziliang, who is the youngest, is definitely not inferior to the Kong family in his ability to make money.It's just that the father and daughter of the Kong family are notorious and widely known to attract hatred, but this gentleman understands the truth of making a fortune in a low-key manner, and has been ignored by outsiders for many years and even forgotten by post-world web writers.

The most famous thing Song Ziliang has done is to resell American aid supplies from the Concession Act.

Historically, a large number of American aid transported thousands of miles into China from the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and the precious materials brought in through the hump route, which killed countless people, were basically managed by the Ministry of Communications controlled by Song Ziliang.A large amount of American aid materials went into warehouses during the day, but disappeared at night, and then quickly appeared on black markets in various places or in areas controlled by the Japanese.

When the fruit fans of the later generations cleaned the land for the Song family, they said all day that Song Ziwen was clean and not greedy for money. The people who did this work were the father and daughter of the Kong family. In fact, they all forgot that Song Ziwen's younger brother Song Ziliang has always been "low-key" Hiding behind his back and raking in money frantically.Saying that the Song family is clean and that Song Ziwen is not responsible is like saying that Zeng Guofan is not responsible for the Nanjing Massacre committed by his brother Zeng Guoquan.When blowing Zeng Guofan's sleeves, he forgot that his younger brother emptied the entire treasury of the Heavenly King's Mansion, and then reported that the gold and silver were all burned by Changmao's fire--Song Ziliang actually played more smoothly when the fire dragon burned the warehouse. Under his control, the warehouses storing American aid materials were always bombed and burned down by Japanese planes from time to time...

Regarding Song Ziliang, Huang Ke relied on some Internet articles and Republic of China dramas he watched in the Internet age, but he heard about this person's name and knew some of his deeds.Today he is actually the most important guest of the guests.More importantly, this guy is actually quite lecherous. He made a lot of gossip in Shanghai, and recently he was surrounded by a dancer and made a lot of jokes and scandals. Get rid of that troublesome woman.

When Huang Ke followed Elena into the residence of the British director Free, Song Ziliang took the initiative to greet him, and then greeted Elena under Ferry's guidance.

This month, because of her beauty and mysterious background, Elena has already become a celebrity in Shanghai's social circles. The method of "pretending to be coercive" made it impossible for her to keep a low profile no matter what.

The upper floors of Shanghai Bund are most interested in Elena's background.

When the British Director Ferry came over, Elena talked to him in very standard London English.

Then when one of her potential French suitors, the French director Freire, came over, Elena responded with standard French.

During the period, she used extremely fluent German to talk to a representative of Bayer Company in Germany.But when dealing with Song Ziliang, according to Huang Ke's instructions, she deliberately communicated with him in American English in advance. When Song Ziliang replied in not-so-fluent English, she deliberately used the familiar Cantonese and its dialogue.Among the children of the Song family, Soong Meiling claims to speak English better than her mother tongue, while Song Ziliang is far behind her sister in this regard.

Just the excellent language ability directly allowed the foreigners present to carry out a deeper "brain supplement" in terms of Eileen's background.

When the salon ball started, these foreigners and celebrities in the concession couldn't help discussing Eileen's background in private chats.

"This Miss Elena has a very courtly temperament. I suspect that she is from a certain royal family. For example, a Russian princess, or from the Nordic side! I strongly suspect that she has the blood of the Swedish royal family, because her blond hair and blue eyes are still With this figure, it is obvious that he is of Nordic origin."

It was a director of Bayer AG in China who said this.

"No, I suspect that he is a descendant of the British royal family. I heard that the car outside is hand-built. The logo on the car logo is very similar to the logo of the Rolls car..."

This is the view of the host British director Ferry.

The French director said: "I think she is French! Her French has a strong Marseille accent."

This so-called French gentleman was named Marion. Not long ago, in order to pursue Elena, he offered to give away his beloved horse, but Elena refused.

This group of foreigners discussed and discussed, but there was no result. However, everyone agreed that Elena must have been born in a certain royal family. The reason was that her behavior had received strong court etiquette training past traces.

The dance salon this time is just a "traditional" upper-class gathering in Shanghai. Everyone gathers, dances, talks about current affairs, drinks, winks behind the scenes, hooks up, and makes for some future political deals.

This year is 1935. In order to solve the financial difficulties, Chang Kaishen, who has entered the central government, is planning to issue the famous paper currency "legal currency" in history.Even if Chang Kaishen's government now requires him to use hard currency such as silver dollars and oceans as military pay to buy warlords and so on, it already feels extremely financially difficult.

Under such circumstances, the Chang Kaishen government naturally thought that it could rely on a series of military victories and use bayonets as a guarantee to issue "cheap" banknotes in its ruled area to replace silver dollars as the equivalent of commodity circulation to maintain the regime financial operations.

The issuance of paper currency requires a large amount of precious metals as value guarantees.With the comprador attributes and virtues of the Cannon Party regime, anyone with a brain knows that they can't produce so much precious metals.As for the government's credit... Recently, people from the Song family and the Kong family have been doing crazy activities in the financial center of Shanghai Bund. In addition to contacting foreigners, they are also contacting the surviving domestic donors. People continue to sell national interests, while making various political promises to local capitalists, local rich owners and other forces in order to seek support for the issuance of legal currency.

In order to increase their control over this comprador regime, foreign forces such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and France, ostensibly supported the issuance of banknotes by the Pao Gang.But in fact, none of these foreigners are stupid.

They have long seen that this regime intends to harvest the wealth in the hands of the people by issuing banknotes without any guaranteed value.On the surface, standing for him and supporting him in issuing banknotes is nothing more than participating in and getting a share of the pie.As for the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium, the Guangdong consortium and other "local forces" in China, it's not that they can't see through the tricks behind it. At this time, they naively think that they are the same as the people with the surname "Jiang Song Kongchen", and they can still join in if they do. The dream of getting a share of the pie... The end result is that in 1949, even these once reactionary local capitalists and local landowner forces were forced by this decadent regime to cry and beg the People's Liberation Army to liberate them the point.But at this time, they didn't realize that they were meat, and they thought they were the ones who could sit on the table and participate in this feast.

As the person who brazenly followed Elena to participate in this dinner, Huang Ke was actually the most unpopular among men on the court - precisely because he claimed to be Elena's "boyfriend".The men hated him to death—unexpectedly, Huang Ke was very popular among the female Republican celebrities present.

After staying in another world for a short time, after being transformed by the world, and adding a "singularity of time and space" on his body, Huang Ke's body has been slowly strengthening itself and evolving these days.The remaining pimples on the face have completely disappeared, the body has become stronger, the skin has become better, and the facial features have also been fine-tuned slowly, becoming more handsome-the so-called ugly person is just a certain organ in the facial features It has to be born with some uncoordinated defect to become ugly and reduce its appearance.Most people, in fact, only need to carry out "micro-plastic surgery" to improve their appearance.

Huang Ke's "natural plastic surgery" that automatically evolves in the direction of "coordination" has automatically improved his appearance in just over a month, coupled with his special background and "returnee" status, as well as being able to catch up with Elena. The achievements of the goddess naturally attracted the attention of celebrities and even some foreigners.

Thanks to the book friend 2008091221044765, Autumn Sky for the reward, so I will write another chapter of [-] words, and try to write another chapter tonight

-------------------- Chapter 42 Youth, Health, Beauty --------------------

"Ideals make us strong, breaking through the barriers of darkness.

Ideals make us strong, never give up hope.

I can see the twinkling stars after stealing tears.

Follow through wind and rain, the light of life.

Ideals make us strong, breaking through the barriers of darkness.

Ideals make us strong, never give up hope.

I can see the twinkling stars after stealing tears.

Follow through wind and rain, the light of life.

Original words in foreign language: (PS, the following lyrics, is this in Latin or English? Who knows?)

in noremi co-ra

tira mine per-i-to

ne do—mina.

In noreni per-i-pe

in noremi co-ra”

The thick and deep soprano voice echoed in the hall with the sound of the piano.

The pianist and the singer are the same person.

Although only one person was playing and singing by himself, the audience in the audience could hear the illusion of a band accompaniment and a choir singing.

When Elena appeared at the banquet held by the British directors of the concession, she immediately stole the limelight by relying on her beauty and aura.Here in the banquet hall where everyone is entertained, there is a piano.When the banquet started, Elena came and sat down, and then began to play.

The piece that Elena played was called "Conquering Paradise", which was originally stored in an MP3 in her collection.

As the Holy Daughter of Light and the spokesperson of the gods, one of Eileen's tasks before the cataclysm was to guide the believers of the gods to perform religious ceremonies to pray and worship the gods. ceremony.Compared with Huang Ke, who claims to be tone-deaf, as the existence closest to God in another world, Elena's musical talent is infinitely higher than that of ordinary people on Earth. Even if suppressed by the Earth's environment, she is still at the genius level among geniuses exist.

The world-famous "Conquest of Paradise", which was used as the background music of countless later movies and TV series, she memorized the entire score after only listening to it once.When preparing for today's banquet a few days ago, she borrowed a piano from Jiaotong University to "try" for 10 minutes, and she fully mastered it and reached the level of a "master". As for singing, she is even more familiar with it Old business——When religious ceremonies are held in another world, Elena is the lead singer.

Whether it was a foreigner or a celebrity at the scene, they all had an intoxicated expression.

There are not many audiences who can fully understand the Latin lyrics.

But these are not important.

Just because they can't understand the lyrics, people pay special attention to the melody of the melody, the voice and emotion of the singer, and this is when the mantra songs come into play.Taking advantage of the moment when people are listening intently and have no time to think about external affairs, combine with people's minds and minds, implant the magic notes hidden in the music into people's deep consciousness, and all of them show the expressions of being fascinated.

Elena's piano skills and singing skills have indeed reached the peak of what humans can do in this era.The problem is that there is only one piano in front of her, and she is singing alone. She lacks enough other accompaniments to help her. It is impossible to achieve the effect of making the listener obsessed without some special means.

The person who used the special method was Mr. Huang Ke from Nan Guo who stood beside her, only opened his mouth without making a sound, and used his tenor voice to accompany her voice.He lip-synced with his mouth open, but he sang tenor accompaniment with the small stereo hidden in his pocket, which was pretty impressive.

And the most important thing that can make all the audience mesmerized is the small piece of newly made "Magic Sound Construction Gem" hidden on Huang Ke's body, close to the "source of magic power" on his chest.The charismatic force field it emitted resonated with Elena's "Holy Voice" and turned into a sea monster's magic voice, affecting all listeners within a radius of ten meters around Huang Ke's body.

Among the many listeners around, some opened their mouths wide open and salivated;

Fortunately, this is the earth environment, and it is suppressed by the strong external magic-forbidden domain. The enchanted domain created by Huang Ke can only make the audience feel that this is an incomparably beautiful sound of nature, and they are temporarily intoxicated.If it is the different world that Elena lives in, its power can confuse people to the point of jumping into the sea and committing suicide without regret.

After playing the song and singing, Huang Ke's new "Magic Sound Construction Gem" also ran out of magic power and lost to the pressure of the earth's world environment. The magic circuit formed by the magic lines collapsed, and the guests and audience returned to their souls. God came over, and then there was a wave of applause.

"Miss Elena, you are so amazing! You should go to the London Coliseum to perform, and the musicians all over the world will go crazy for you!"

The British gentleman who has been courting Elena, even at the expense of giving him a horse, is obsessed with authenticity.

"No, the Paris Opera House is your stage!"
