The Republic of Alien World: Awakening of the Thousand-fold Growth System at the Beginning

On July [-]th, Tian Zhengzhai applied to the Board of Directors to expand the artillery battalion and equip it with weapons and equipment, but the Board of Directors rejected it on the grounds that the situation in Europe was tense and weapons could not be purchased for the time being.

In the afternoon, Tian Zhengzhai visited the Wanshi Arsenal and was full of praise for the weapons and equipment it produced.

If it weren't for the public board of directors not approving the funds, I'm afraid they would have placed an order on the spot.

On July [-]th, Tian Zhengzhai again applied to the Board of Directors for funds to expand the artillery battalion and replenish weapons and equipment, and stated that the weapons of the Wanshi Arsenal were excellent and met the procurement requirements.

The Board of Directors rejected it again on the grounds that Huaxia could not produce sophisticated equipment.

At the same time, in the endless sea, a huge fleet is sailing.

This fleet consists of one battleship, one heavy cruiser, three light cruisers, eighteen destroyers, and fifty transport ships.

They belonged to France and came from Indochina, which was why Alexander repeatedly rejected Tian Zhengzhai.

On July 22, the French Asia Fleet came to the Huaxia Sea and gradually approached Modu.

On July 23, it entered the sea area of ​​the magic city and gradually approached the magic city.

Suddenly, the entire fleet was in turmoil. After a short time, many transport ships and destroyers gradually sank.

Gradually, this sinking spread to cruisers and battleships.

Three hours later, apart from the mess, there was no battleship anywhere.

No one would have thought that a French fleet and tens of thousands of troops sank here silently.

On that day, Alexander did not receive news from the fleet, and felt uneasy.

On July 24, Alexander, who still did not receive any news from the fleet, became even more flustered and began to contact everywhere.

It was finally confirmed at night that something happened to the fleet.

He knew that he was doomed, because of him, France lost a fleet, and it was impossible for France to let him go.

After a night of deliberation, he finally made up his mind, quietly left the building of the Public Directorate, came to the central patrol room, and met Tian Zhengzhai.

When the two met, Alexander looked at Tian Zhengzhai with a complicated expression, and only spoke after a long time.

"I want to know, who is behind you?"

"Who do you think is behind me?"

"Germany."

As soon as the voice fell, he shook his head and denied it.

"Germany doesn't have such a strong presence in Asia, it can't be Germany.

United States?

It is also impossible. The United States is not as powerful as Germany in Asia, let alone be able to do this.

U.K?

It is also impossible. Although the United Kingdom has this strength in Asia, the situation in Europe is tense now, and it will definitely not do this.

Japan?

He has the strength, but do he have the guts?

If everything is impossible, it can only be Japan.

The force behind you is Japan, right? "

Tian Zhengzhai shook his head and said.

"You don't have to guess, it's impossible for me to tell you the forces behind it."

Although this was a refusal to answer, in Alexander's eyes, it was an admission.

After getting the answer, he was silent for a while, and opened his mouth.

"If I hand over the French Concession to you, can you bring my family back from France and guarantee our safety?"

Tian Zhengzhai nodded.

"no problem.

You can look out. "

Although Alexander was puzzled, he still walked to the window and looked out. When he saw the scene on the street outside, his pupils shrank for a while.

What did he see?

I saw my family from far away in France appearing on the street below.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and walked in front of Tian Zhengzhai with a complicated expression on his face.

"You are so deliberate, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"As long as you are obedient, I can guarantee that your family will be safe, and you will still have power, glory and wealth."

"I hope you don't break your promise, but haven't you thought about the consequences?"

"I know the consequences, so we must work together to develop the concession.

As long as we are strong enough, even if the European issue is resolved and France frees up its hands, it will not be able to do anything to us. "

"Do you think a small country can stand shoulder to shoulder with the mighty France?"

"We have a huge Chinese market, manpower, and the entire Western technology, and we have caught up with the good times, so it is not difficult to develop.

As long as you have enough financial resources, it is not difficult to arm a powerful army.

We don't need a military force comparable to that of France, as long as we have a military force that makes France scruples. "

The West imposes a technological blockade on China, but it does not impose a technological blockade on the French Concession.

As long as you have enough technology, with Huaxia's huge market and manpower, it is not difficult to develop with your heart.

Just like the previous public concessions and French concessions, they only wanted to plunder and develop along the way, making the public concessions and French concessions the most prosperous places in China.

Alexander said with a complicated face.

"I hope so?"

On July 26, Tian Zhengzhai applied to the Board of Directors to expand the artillery battalion, replenish weapons and equipment, and recruit [-] reserve soldiers, and the Board of Directors agreed on the spot.

When the funds were in place on the same day, a huge order was placed with Wanshi Arsenal.

This is the first order from Wanshi Arsenal, which is a good start.

Shortly thereafter, the International Settlement also placed a huge order with Wanshi Arsenal.

So far, the reputation of Wanshi Arsenal has resounded throughout China.

The moon in foreign countries is rounder, and there is a bigger market in this era. The approval of Wanshi Arsenal by the public concession and the French concession is, in their view, a guarantee of quality.

One after another, warlords placed orders with Wanshi Arsenal, but they were all rejected by Wanshi Arsenal because of insufficient production.

On July 27, Alexander issued the "Declaration of the Republic" on behalf of the Board of Directors and the French Concession.

The "Declaration of the Republic" has a total of ten articles. First, within the French Concession, all people are equal.

Second, in order to show fairness, the French Concession will add nine directors, all of whom will be Chinese.

Third, all departments in the French Concession will recruit a large number of Chinese to work.

Fourth, reduce taxes and create better business conditions.

Fifth, increase investment in education and military affairs.

Sixth, increase investment in scientific research.

Seventh, to encourage manufacturing, taxation, land, technology, etc. will be given preferential treatment.

Eighth, crack down on illegal organizations and create a safe business environment.

Ninth, crack down on harmful industries such as opium, gambling, and brothels.

Tenth, build the world's largest free trade market, and welcome all companies in the world to settle in.

As soon as the "Declaration of the Republic" came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the world, even greater than the sensation that the public concession was controlled by Scar.

Later, the French Concession used manpower, land, and taxation to attract many manufacturing industries from the West, making the manufacturing industry in the French Concession unprecedentedly prosperous.

In addition, technology and taxation are used to attract rich Chinese and even Asian landowners to settle in, making the manufacturing industry in the French Concession more prosperous.

At the end of World War II, it reached its peak. At that time, there were more than 30 enterprises in the French Concession. The land was not enough, so they built a large number of huge factories with more than [-] floors, which became a spectacle at that time.

These are all things for later, and I won’t show them for the time being.

France was outraged by the "Declaration of the Republic" in the French Concession, and issued the most severe warning to the French Concession. If the mistakes were not corrected immediately, a large army would be sent on an expedition.

The time came to July 28. Before the French Concession could reply, the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia. The world war started, and France immediately fell silent.

On July 29, the war between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Serbia began, and the end of the World War officially started.

On July [-], Zhang Chenxing received Hans, the German Consul General in Shanghai.

After lunch, he took Hans to visit the headquarters of Wanshi Group and the sky manor, and entertained him in the sky villa.

The two chatted for a few words and began to get to the point.

Hans spoke first.

"Mr. Zhang, our country wants to become a strategic partner with you. What do you want?"

"I'm just a businessman with a small body, so I don't dare to get involved in your battles."

With the current scale of the Wanshi Group, it is not possible to maximize the benefits for Germany.

If you want to maximize your benefits, you need the Allies and Allies to eat at both ends, just like the United States and Japan.

However, it is a pleasure to give Germany greater support and let it consume more European energy.

The topic changed.

"However, within the scope of my ability, I can give you the greatest discount.

As long as you can eat our production capacity, do not sell products to other countries. "

Hearing this, Hans said with a wry smile.

"Mr. Zhang, I have been paying close attention to you and the Wanshi Group during this period of time. I know how fast the Wanshi Group is expanding. We simply cannot fully consume your production capacity."

It's not that it can't be eaten completely, it's just to win over neutral countries. It's impossible for Germany to place an order only with Wanshi Group.

Even for the sake of risk, you can't just give the order to Wanshi Group.

If the order was only given to Wanshi Group, and the British and French warships blocked the capital, Germany would be finished.

"Since your country can't afford it, we have to sell our products to other countries in order to survive."

Hans was silent for a moment, and spoke.

"Next we need more Wanshi No. [-] steel and Wanshi No. [-] cement. I hope you can provide them."

"No problem, as long as you need it, we can increase production capacity at any time.

Still, barter? "

A war is about to break out in Europe, and all factories in Germany will produce military products. I am afraid that there will be no products to barter with Wan Shi Group.

Sure enough, Hans shook his head and said.

"No, our country has turned into a wartime state, and all factories put military products as the first.

We are willing to trade in our currency mark.

You can rest assured that our national mark is the most stable currency and there will be absolutely no problems. "

I believe you ghost, as a time traveler, he knows that only 50 marks can buy a piece of bread after World War I, and now collecting marks is different from collecting waste paper.

He shook his head decisively.

"No, we don't accept marks, we only accept industrial equipment, ordnance equipment, and gold."

After World War I, not only the currencies of various countries depreciated sharply, but even silver depreciated sharply. If you accept silver now, you will suffer a big loss.

Hans said with a difficult expression on his face.

"Mr. Zhang, we have been cooperating for a while, don't we even have this little trust?"

Zhang Chenxing remained unmoved.

"It's not a question of trust or distrust, but a question of principle.

This is our company's new policy, no matter which country we trade with. "
