[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

Chapter 127 Catching Worms

The British king and the British government heard that Zhao Changqing not only took over the road project, but also took the initiative to take over the renovation project of the slums in Financial Street, which made them very satisfied.

There is no way. One of the most direct results of the economic crisis is that the unemployment rate has risen again and again, and the country's tax revenue has also shrunk greatly.This directly caused neither King George V nor the House of Lords and the House of Commons to borrow money to build infrastructure.

Since the idea came from the richest man in England, let him do it.We have no money!

Although it is not without objections, compared to the employment rate and the riots that may accompany this unemployment rate, what is this kind of shamelessness?As long as you cover it up well and don't let the outside know, isn't that all right?

Public opinion control has never been put on the table, so that ordinary people can discover it.

Therefore, when they heard that Zhao Changqing needed a steel company, the king and the British government even took the initiative to sell a state-owned steel company to Zhao Changqing.

When the company was sold, the king was still secretly delighted: I heard that this Far Easterner has a lot of Far Eastern technology in his hands?It's a pity that he hid it so well. Now that he has this steel company, the technology in his hands can be exploited, right?

The British government entrusted a third party to measure the slums near Financial Street. When the housing area was counted, Zhao Changqing had already started to build some necessary tools, not only more advanced cranes, but also more advanced bulldozers, forklifts and other engineering tools. car, he even created a series of steel modules in a huge workshop using a standard more detailed assembly line.

Of course, he did not forget to spend nearly a year laying foundations and laying related infrastructure and pipelines.

That's right, Zhao Changqing wants to challenge the three views of people in this world. He plans to use the modular construction method to build the skyscraper within [-] days.In order to prevent the impact of rainy days in London, he also made a huge shed to cover the part of the building under construction. Firstly, it can prevent rainwater from affecting the project, secondly, it can also prevent pollution, and thirdly, it can deter the British. people.

In fact, during this process, Zhao Changqing did use magic and spells, but he used them so secretly that no one noticed.

This is also the first time that Zhao Changqing left Rose Manor for a long time. It took [-] days to complete the construction of a [-]-story skyscraper, and even the decoration was completed. Those demolished households can move in directly with their bags!

Even though the third-party unit that made the statistics of the demolition area was delayed for a long time, plus the time for laying the foundation and laying the infrastructure, Zhao Changqing still completed the entire project within [-] months.

On the day the building was completed, King George V was not in good health and was unable to attend the ceremony when the building was officially put into use, but he sent his successor, later Edward VIII, and Edward VIII's younger brother, who was then The Duke of York, and the Duke of York's family.

The seven-year-old Princess Elizabeth was so impressed that she later became queen, and even after her grandsons had grown up, she said to her children and grandchildren: "At that time, no one believed that the Duke of Cranson actually It is really possible to build such a large building in such a short period of time! The construction period is still so short, even if the demolition time is included, it is only a little over three years! What made my grandfather even more helpless is that the Duke used it to build skyscrapers The steel of the building is even better than the steel used for the battleships at that time! Later, you will know that the Duke not only took over all the projects in the Financial Street area, but also monopolized more than half of the steel of the British warships in World War II. No one knows that he earned How much money, because his accounts are so detailed that no one can find any faults. Also, for this reason, the British government has not allowed him to take a step out of the UK for a long time!"

In fact, during World War II, London suffered from British artillery fire, but Hitler strictly forbade his air force to bomb the Financial Street area, because many buildings in that area were owned by Zhao Changqing.This also made Financial Street a refuge for London citizens during World War II.

These buildings have become new landmarks in London, even amazed the whole of Europe, and contributed to Zhao Changqing getting a Nobel—although it was a medical prize that he should have received long ago.

However, that's all for later.

As far as the situation at that time was concerned, the whole world was making a sensation for Zhao Changqing. On the contrary, Zhao Changqing himself was not interested in the newly completed building. He even completed the foundation stone laying ceremony of the expressway project without waiting for the second building to start. Afterwards, we returned to Rose Manor.

When his car passed through a nearby town, he happened to meet Mary Crowley coming out of the local chapel.Because Mary had already walked in front of his car, he had no choice but to get out of the car out of politeness. Before he pushed the door and stood still, Mary couldn't wait to talk about the new building: "Sir, You have created a miracle!"

Zhao Changqing said indifferently: "A miracle? Do you really think so?"

Mary was keenly aware of Zhao Changqing's lack of interest, and couldn't help asking: "Sir, are you dissatisfied with that building?"

Zhao Changqing replied: "It has the same cold feeling as Financial Street, just like the word finance, ruthless. Compared with that building, I prefer those buildings designed by the Regent."

Mary said: "You mean, those built by King George IV..."

"Yes, the Prince Regent has taken care of both the beauty and practicality of the fourth generation. Instead, my houses are just taking advantage of technology."

Mary said: "Although I'm an Englishman, what I want to say is that George IV's only skill is architectural design."

Zhao Changqing looked at Mary deeply, and said, "You don't like him?"

"Of course. In fact, few people like him. Although the houses he designed are indeed very good. But he is the king of England! He should spend more time on government affairs!"

Zhao Changqing replied: "In my opinion, he is just a mismatch between his position and talent, and the trouble is that it seems that resignation is not allowed in that position. And I don't think that as a king, he must do everything by himself. Entrust government affairs to the right person and then do what you want, as long as it doesn’t hurt others, it’s not wrong.” Zhao Changqing sighed lightly, and said unintentionally: “There is no shortage of people in this world. It is also a good choice to learn to let go of the monarch who is diligent in politics and finally harms the people."

Mary was stunned for a moment, and said, "Sir, do you feel deeply about this?"

Zhao Changqing said with a smile: "It's just that I have read a few steps of the book recently, and I have a deep feeling. By the way, is your father okay?"

"Of course." Realizing that Zhao Changqing was not in high spirits, Mary immediately changed the subject, "Do you know what is the most frustrating thing about being your neighbor?"

"what?"

"Your manor has never held a ball!" Mary said angrily, "Do you know? Before you bought the Rose Manor, I have been looking forward to it more than once, who will be the new owner of the Rose Manor. Isn't he very handsome? ? Will he hold a grand ball? But the fact is, I have been your neighbor for so many years, and you have never held a ball!"

Mary was still an unmarried woman back then, so it was difficult for her to speak, but now that she has all her sons, naturally there is no such taboo.

Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "It looks like it's my fault."

"And will you have a dance?"

Zhao Changqing thought for a while and said, "No."

"Oh, that's a pity." Mary made a helpless expression, and then said, "I'm curious, have you never thought about getting married?"

"me?"

"Yes."

"have not thought."

"What about the heir to Rose Manor?"

"There is my godson Yannian."

"But I heard that he went to China, and the situation in China is not good right now."

Zhao Changqing said: "I know. Japan has finally revealed its wolfish ambitions. Have you heard of "Empire's Positive Fundamental Policy on Manchuria and Mongolia"?"

Mary's face was full of astonishment: "What is that?"

"The program of Japan's invasion of China." Zhao Changqing repeated those words indifferently, which made Mary feel vaguely wrong.

After all, Mary was an English noble lady, and she didn't understand this.

Instead, it was her younger sister, Edith, who had been Zhao Changqing's secretary assistant for several years, understood: "That is to say, Japan's invasion of China was premeditated!"

As Zhao Changqing's confidant, Edith is clear about how much Zhao Changqing has done for China.It was because of the clarity that Edith knew the real reason for Zhao Changqing's depression.

Zhao Changqing had told her a long time ago that if a nation with a population much smaller than China like Japan wants to invade China, it will only adopt one policy in the end, and that is genocide.In other words, sooner or later the Japanese will raise their butcher knives against the unarmed Chinese people!

It's a pity that the Covenant is just that weak and incompetent.Japan has invaded and occupied the three northeastern provinces of China, and even created a puppet Manchukuo, and the Allied Powers have a damn report!

This is the real reason why Zhao Changqing returned to Qiangwei Manor early.At this moment, he doesn't want to talk nonsense with those politicians, especially European politicians!

Whether as an aristocratic lady who grew up in England and received a typical British education, or as Zhao Changqing's secretary assistant, Edith is full of sympathy for the people of that country, but also extremely disgusted with the Japanese.

So, regardless of the difference between herself and Zhao Changqing, she said to Zhao Changqing: "Sir, I think you should buy a newspaper!"

Zhao Changqing glanced at her in surprise.

Edith said: "As you said, the Japanese cannot rule that land forever. They will only burn, kill and loot on that land, and plunder everything that can be plundered. At the same time, when they are defeated, they will also They will try their best to erase their criminal evidence! However, they will be afraid of European countries! So! Sir, you can buy a newspaper and send reporters to that country! The Japanese dare to do anything to any Chinese, but they dare not Hands on white people!"

If Japan dares to attack British and American journalists, they will face pressure from major European and American powers!

But if the Japanese did not dare to do anything, the evidence collected by these reporters would eventually peel off Japan in the post-war trial!

Of course Zhao Changqing knew that even if he didn't do this, some white journalists would have recorded everything with photos.However, in terms of quantity or influence, it is definitely not enough.

However, he was able to extend that influence.

Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "Edith, you made a good idea. Let's buy a newspaper later. By the way, the United States also needs it. Do you mind being the editor-in-chief of the newspaper?"

The author has something to say:

The male protagonist's trip to the United States was in vain!
