Red Alert 1895

Chapter 404: Arriving in Europe (on)

In the middle of 1898 AD, a huge cruise ship sailed west from Taipei Port, Taiwan. Their goal is Europe, and this huge ship will carry Taiwan's leader Wang Guorui, as well as his envoys, etc., to Europe for a visit. But this time Wang Guorui went to investigate and brought his wife, Zheng Hong, as the leader's wife. Taiwan implements a system of equal status for all wives, unlike the mainland where the rule of forcibly dividing the wives into regular wives, equal wives, concubines, etc. However, considering that Western countries still have one husband and one wife, and can only have one first lady, Wang Guorui also took Zheng Hong, because Zheng Hong was not only Wang Guorui's first woman, but also an officer with the rank of lieutenant general , so that after arriving, he can assume two responsibilities, and Zheng Hong also went to represent the head of the Taiwan military delegation.

As for this time, Wang Guorui not only brought Zheng Hong with him, but also Tanya and Natasha. After all, if he didn't bring them along, he might not be able to reassure his subordinates. After all, if you don't bring Tanya and Natasha, the two most powerful fighting forces, in the dragon's lake and tiger's lair in Europe, it is impossible to make people feel at ease. And the western countries are all nervous now, because Tanya and Natasha are phenomenal figures. If they go to Europe to wreak havoc, no one will be able to stop them. This makes everyone feel very scared.

What makes everyone even more frightened is that Taiwan actually brought all the domestic Sovereign-class battleships. The four Sovereign-class battleships flew to Europe with Taiwan's blue-bottomed yellow tiger flag along the way. Along the way, many countries looked at the four powerful battleships. That was totally taken aback. When the countries saw this Sovereign-class battleship, they couldn't help but lament the strength of the British, and they were very afraid of the "organization" behind Wang Guorui. As for what's next. Taiwan's fleet covered the cruise ship after a month's voyage, then went out from the Strait of Malacca, then to the Bay of Bengal, passed through the Arabian Sea, and then entered the Red Sea. After arriving at the end of the Red Sea, it finally passed the Suez Canal, which had just been built and opened to navigation for almost 30 years. Finally arrived at the Mediterranean Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, all the way non-stop.

When Taiwan's fleet passed the coast of Spain, people from various European countries thought they were going to stop and negotiate with Spain. But Taiwan's fleet went all the way west. The Spaniards were ignored. When the fleet arrived in the English Channel, it finally passed through the Netherlands. Taiwan also did not stop, but rushed all the way to Hamburg, Germany. When the fleet arrived at the port of Hamburg, it stopped, and then everyone knew that the first stop of Taiwan's visit to Europe was Germany. Not Spain and the Netherlands, which had conflicted with them before.

"Woo-"

The four Sovereign-class battleships in the fleet blew their whistles together, and the loud sound of the whistle could be heard several kilometers away. As for the Germans, they all came to greet them, but Germany sent a foreign minister to receive them.

However, the German Emperor Wilhelm II was still very face-saving. He originally wanted to bring the queen to greet him in person. But later, he was dissuaded by the German ministers, because now Wang Guorui is only a province of the Qing Dynasty, not a country, so it is not suitable for the emperor to come out to greet him in person. And then they sent a telegram to ask for Taiwan's consent, and Germany planned to send a foreign minister to greet it. This can be regarded as giving enough face. And the next thing is also very simple, when everyone came to the Port of Hamburg, everyone in Taiwan also boarded the land one after another.

"Excuse me, Mr. Wang, Governor of Taiwan. I heard that you are coming to our Europe this time to purchase industrial products worth tens of millions of pounds?" "Excuse me, Mr. Wang Guorui, Governor of Taiwan. Your first stop this time is Did you come to Germany to be able to purchase all kinds of our German industrial products? How can you do our German industrial products?” “You think our German industrial products are very good and of high quality, that’s why you come to purchase from us A German industrial product?"  …

Now about the visit of the Taiwan mission, it has spread crazy in Europe. Everyone thinks that this Taiwan is completely a money-losing boy, who came here with at least tens of millions of pounds to discuss purchases. And tens of millions of pounds. This is enough to make countless people jealous, even if they can only eat one-thousandth of it, it will still be fat and oily. And now many big European capitalists are coming to inquire about what Taiwan will purchase, how they plan to purchase it, and which country they plan to purchase from.

Now capitalists from various countries are also beginning to care about how Taiwan wants to purchase, and which country they will purchase from. Western countries also have serious competition, such as the market and the competition of colonial raw materials. At present, it is as if Taiwan has brought tens of millions of pounds in funds. This has made many people in European countries jealous, and many countries also hope to keep these tens of millions of pounds in their own country. Promoting the employment of domestic people can also increase the economy a lot. Even a large part of it will flow into the national treasuries of various countries from taxation, so everyone is extremely jealous.

As long as you can keep these tens of millions of pounds in your own country, the direct and indirect economic benefits are enough to increase the "chicken fart" of many countries by a lot of percentage points, and this is an increase in the entire country, not A single city and province is on the rise! These tens of millions of pounds are enough to be the financial income of the British for almost a year. If they can also invest this money in buying various industrial products in their country, it will definitely be a huge boost to the domestic economic stimulus. Needle.

In the past, Taiwan purchased various items in Europe, all of which were distributed in different countries, and the purchase amount was actually less than 50 million pounds, and the maximum was 10 million pounds per year. But this time Wang Guorui was bragging, deliberately saying that he purchases 50 million pounds a year. However, Wang Guorui did bring a lot of money and favorable conditions to purchase this time, hoping to reap benefits. And in this way, many capitalists in Europe also want to keep the money for the goods, and then let them eat a lot. They will definitely work hard to help Taiwan. After all, for capitalists, parents are not as friendly as the green pound!

"Everyone, when Taiwan visits Europe this time, all external communications will be undertaken by Mr. Li Enfu, the press spokesman of our Taiwan Mission. I hope you can wait for Li Enfu's press conference." Wang Guorui said.

And Wang Guorui spoke English directly with proficiency. Anyway, although he had just passed English in the original world, he knew that he must learn English in this world. So he asked Tanya to teach it English, which made his English improve by leaps and bounds, so he was able to speak English proficiently. Now Wang Guorui speaks in English, which is understood by many people. After all, there are definitely many people who can speak English now.

Soon, those reporters also went to pester Li Enfu, and stopped pestering Wang Guorui. As for Wang Guorui, he also took Zheng Hong with him, and under the protection of Tanya and Natasha, he came to the front, ready to meet with German officials.

"Dear Mr. Wang, I finally see you!" The German Foreign Minister laughed.

And Wang Guorui also replied; "Yes, I finally came to Europe in person."

"Mr. Wang, what do you think of our Port of Hamburg? This is the most advanced port, one of the largest ports in Europe!" said the foreign minister.

But Wang Guorui snorted lightly, apparently not paying much attention. Because Wang Guorui has seen many ports in later generations, and many ports in later generations are larger and more advanced than this port in the 19th century, and their various throughputs and functions are also much more. The ships in this era are probably 10,000-ton class, and Wang Guorui has seen many large passenger ships in later generations, and those are all 100,000-ton class. Therefore, the Port of Hamburg, which claims to be one of the important ports in Europe, is not the Port of Hamburg in the 21st century. Obviously, Wang Guorui does not like to be taken seriously by Wang Guorui.

The goods in these ports are also transported by bulk cargo~www.wuxiax.com~ and Wang Guorui's later generations are transported in large containers, and the difference in efficiency is not the slightest bit. So Wang Guorui didn't take these things seriously, and these ports were obviously not taken seriously in his eyes.

When the foreign minister saw this scene, he was a little angry at first. But then he thought of the "organization" behind Wang Guorui, and this immediately made him feel a little normal. After all, people can even produce Sovereign-class battleships casually, so it is normal that they may not be interested in the Port of Hamburg. But the whole world is looking for it now, and obviously they don't know where the shipbuilding factory in Taiwan is. Especially the factory named Hans Shipyard, which made the Germans very depressed.

So now the Germans are also confused about the forces behind Wang Guorui, and they don't know what kind of existence it is. And is there really a port bigger than the Port of Hamburg in the world? If it exists, it should have been discovered long ago, right? Moreover, such a large first port definitely requires a lot of manpower, so how can it be possible to not show any traces of such people eating horse chews? So this is the most depressing place in the world. Everyone doesn't know where Taiwan's equipment comes from.

"Dear Governor Wang, madam, I am a representative sent by the German army. My name is Mao Qi, a major general of the army." An officer stepped forward and said. (to be continued)
