"Your Majesty, the accompanying minister is in urgent need of reporting!"

The telegram marked with a hundred thousand urgent news fell to Li Weiguo's hands. When he opened it, he was shocked at first, and then furious.

It turned out that rubber stocks from Southeast Asia have soared recently, causing the people to rush to buy, further pushing up the stock price. As a result, from yesterday, international public opinion suddenly revealed that Brazil has built the world's largest rubber base and exported the world's lowest price and best-quality rubber raw materials. As a result, rubber raw materials in Southeast Asia are unsalable, and stocks suddenly plummeted, hundreds of thousands of people lost all their money.

"Call the heads of the Homeland Security Bureau and SHIELD to see me immediately!"

Tang Jianzhang didn't know what happened, and was worried that he would be scolded, so he hurriedly asked the female official who came to send the order. The latter also expressed his unclearity, only saying that His Majesty had just received an urgent telegram from the Ministry of Residents.

The accompanying capital stayed in the department?

What can they do?

"Thank you for your reminder, please wait a moment. I will call you to ask!"

The female official immediately said unhappy: "This is not possible. Your Majesty is waiting to reply?"

Tang Jianzhang hurriedly begged: "Just one minute! I'll drive faster in a while and I'll make up for it! Please help me!"

The female official also knew that Tang Jianzhang was a celebrity in front of His Majesty and did not dare to offend him too much, so she said, "Then hurry up, Your Majesty is in a hurry!"

Tang Jianzhang thanked the female official and hurriedly called the clerk's left-behind department. Only then did he learn that there was a problem with rubber in Southeast Asia, causing the clerk's stock market to plummet and hundreds of thousands of people to lose their fortunes.

"Your Majesty is furious. You may have to take countermeasures. I have to prepare in advance. Otherwise, if your Majesty asks me later, I can't answer, I'm afraid I'll be scolded!"

Tang Jianzhang immediately called the headquarters of SHIELD and ordered a quick investigation of all information about the rubber production in Southeast Asia and the rubber production in Brazil, and then sent it to him.

With psychological preparation, Tang Jianzhang drove the female official to see Li Weiguo quickly.

"How did your Homeland Security Agency do it?"

Li Bin, director of the Homeland Security Bureau, came without getting ready, and took a step ahead of Tang Jianzhang, but was scolded by Li Weiguo.

Tang Jianzhang breathed a sigh of relief. Being scolded was inevitable, but Li Bin took over the post first. When it was his turn, his firepower had obviously weakened.

"Your Majesty is resentful. I have ordered an emergency investigation of this matter. News will be heard back in a while! Please wait for a moment!"

Seeing that Tang Jianzhang had arranged to investigate the matter, Li Weiguo's anger disappeared a lot.

Li Bin glanced at Tang Jianzhang and learned from his mistakes. He had to learn it in the future. He had to prepare in advance and could not be scolded like this again.

"Paidu stock market plummeted and the people suffered heavy losses. This will cause very bad social consequences. We need to find ways to remedy it in time!"

"The Duzhi Department just calculated that the loss was as high as 100 million yuan!"

"Brazil secretly built a large-scale rubber production base, but it was not announced. Recently, the Southeast Asian rubber stock market suddenly soared and then plummeted. There must be pushers behind this scenes to manipulate it, and I'm afraid it was premeditated. It was found that those who sold stocks on a large scale during the high price of rubber stocks in recent times must be the mastermind behind the scenes."

Ministers from various ministries made suggestions and expressed their opinions on the matter.

The loss of 100 million yuan made Li Weiguo very unhappy and said to Li Bin and Tang Jianzhang: "There is a Bureau of Homeland Security responsible for investigation in China. Foreign diplomacy is handed over to SHIELD. We must find out the behind-the-scenes envoy as soon as possible. I must get the money lost by the people for them!"

"Your Majesty loves the people as much as his son. I believe that the stockholders will be grateful after hearing this!"

"This stock market crash affects many citizens, and many people are borrowing loans to trade stocks. If His Majesty can help them get the money back, it can save a lot of lives and avoid many families being broken!"

"These investors are too careless. The stock market is just gambling. Nine out of ten gambling will lose. They should be controlled. This time, only 100 million yuan is lost, and only rubber-related industries will be affected. If the impact is wider next time, the losses will be immeasurable!"

"It is difficult for the people to pursue huge profits, so the government can only force the action!"

All the ministers looked at Li Weiguo one after another. Only when Li Weiguo nodded in this matter, the government could introduce compulsory measures.

Li Weiguo then said: "Suspend all stock market transactions first, especially to prevent overseas merchants from cashing out and fleeing with funds!"

With an imperial edict, various departments of the Chinese Empire quickly dispatched to control the capital, the accompanying capital and other stock market trading centers. Some people who were planning to sell rubber stocks were stopped.

At the same time, the two major intelligence departments of the Chinese Empire quickly dispatched, and the Homeland Security Bureau thoroughly investigated the inside story of domestic stock market transactions and arrested those who speculated on rubber stocks. China S.H.I.E.L.D. launched an investigation into various vassal states in Southeast Asia, as well as Brazil and other countries to collect information behind the scenes.

Three days later, in the Qinzheng Hall of the Forbidden City, Li Weiguo held another imperial meeting.

"Report to Your Majesty, the behind-the-scenes pusher has been found. It is the Brazilian rubber farm. Although the farmer is a Brazilian businessman, the behind-the-scenes investors are capital giants in Britain, France, the United States and other countries. According to inside information, the capital giants of Britain, France and the United States responded to the call of their respective governments, attacked the stock market of the Chinese Empire, and defrauded the imperial national wealth."

It is indeed the behind-the-scenes planner of Britain, France and the United States!

Li Weiguo was furious and thought that in the late Qing Dynasty in history, Western powers such as Britain, France, and the United States used this method to plunder the wealth of the Chinese people.

During the three major stock market crashes, the rich Chinese citizens lost all their money, and the wealth accumulated by the Westernization Movement was plundered by Western powers.

But Chinese stock investors don’t have a good memory, and they are like foreigners cutting leeks, one after another.

Countless investors and countless Kong Yiji were incarnated, mourning his misfortune and angering his failure to fight.

"We have investigated and leaked news from somewhere. Britain, France and the United States learned that the rubber tree originated in Brazil, so they planned for many years, not only to break the empire's monopoly on rubber raw materials, but also to destroy the empire's rubber industry, and then impact the rubber stock market, fraud and forcibly take away the hard-earned money of the empire's citizens."

"This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise those citizens who suffer losses will fall into trouble in their lives, which will cause serious burdens on society and public security issues."

"At present, European and American powers are hyping up public opinion, comparing the imperial citizens to people who are stupid and have a lot of money, and have been cut from crops of leeks after crop!"

"It's outrageous! This is a war provocation, and we must resolutely fight back!"

The ministers were talking, and they were all indignant, shouting to start a war and take revenge on European and American countries.

Li Weiguo turned to Wu Yong, Minister of War, and asked: "What's the current situation in Brazil?"

Wu Yong replied: "Half a year ago, the Brazilian Empire General Fonseca launched a military coup and overthrew Pedro II. Information shows that Fonseca's behind-the-scenes supporters went to Britain, France, the United States and other countries, and may join the Allies recently!"

Chen Jingnan analyzed: "Brazil is a military power in South America and has a strong naval power. Although it has not approached the Pacific Ocean, it will enter the Pacific Ocean after turning a corner. If Brazil joins the Allies, the Allies fleet can obtain supplies in Brazil, directly enter the South Pacific Ocean, threatening Australia and other places."

Li Weiguo frowned slightly and asked again: "Where is Brazilian Emperor Pedro II?"

Wu Yong replied: "It has been deposed at present, but it is still under house arrest!"

Li Weiguo thought for a while and said, "Send someone to rescue Pedro II and tell him that we will help him restore the situation, on the condition that Brazil's rubber industry will be handed over to the Chinese Empire to operate!"

Wu Yong suddenly laughed and said, "Your Majesty is wise, this is the best solution to the situation. At present, the price of rubber in Southeast Asia has been impacted by Brazilian rubber prices, and stocks have plummeted. I believe that the big merchants from Britain, France, the United States and other countries have invested all the 100 million yuan stolen from the Empire into Brazilian rubber farms in hopes of getting a higher price profit. If the Empire helps Pedro successfully restore the restoration, the Brazilian rubber farm will be controlled by the Empire. In that case, the money stolen by Britain, France, and the original money they own will be taken back by the Empire!"

The ministers' eyes suddenly lit up and they all showed joy.

Li Weiguodao: "Since you have no objection, then implement it immediately!"

"I obey the order!"

Wu Yong immediately received the order, and the military quickly mobilized the Ministry of National Defense, General Staff, and Military Command, and ordered it to be sent to various units of the Navy and Army.

At the same time, SHIELD also began to investigate intelligence in Brazil. After careful arrangements, it finally successfully rescued Pedro II and hid in the Chinese Embassy in Brazil.

When Fonseca learned that Pedro II had escaped, he was furious and quickly locked in the embassy of the Chinese Empire in Brazil, protested against the Chinese Empire, demanding that Pedro II be handed over.

The Chinese Imperial Minister to Brazil naturally would not admit it and warned Fonseca not to slander it, otherwise it would seriously affect China-Pakistan relations.

The reason why Fonseca was able to successfully launch a military coup, quickly stabilize the situation in Brazil, and to come out to support Britain, France and the United States was because he immediately controlled Pedro II during the coup, which made a large number of military and political officials who supported Pedro II dare not act rashly.

Just half a year has passed, Fonseca has not completely defeated Pedro II's staunch supporters, and must not let Pedro II escape.

Since Brazil was an imperial system before, but now it was a republic, this touched the aristocratic class of the Brazilian empire. Especially on the issue of rubber plantations, Britain, France and the United States found a way to break the rubber monopoly of the Chinese Empire and wanted to carry out rubber plantations on a large scale in Brazil, which inevitably led to a land conflict with the original plantation aristocrats.

You should know that Brazilian coffee cultivation accounts for three-quarters of the world's share, and many farmers do not want to change to rubber trees, so they have a conflict with the British, French and American merchants behind Fonseca.

During the coup, Fonseca dispatched troops to forcibly annex the manors of these nobles, and then transferred them to merchant groups such as Britain, France, and the United States at a low price. This caused quite dissatisfaction among the original Brazilian Portuguese nobles, and they strongly hoped to return to the rule of Pedro II.

Similarly, there are also a large number of generals in the Brazilian military who oppose the republic and hope to return to the imperial rule.

As the news of Pedro II's successful escape dispersed, the old nobles from all over Brazil began to gather secretly and were ready to move.

The Brazilian army surrounded the Chinese Embassy in Rio and issued an ultimatum to the Chinese Empire.

Fengsekka was not unaware of the power of the Chinese Empire, but he was not afraid of wearing shoes barefoot. Just like when Li Weiguo led the Li family army to fight with the British and French coalition forces back then, he had no industrial foundation, so it didn't matter if it was completely destroyed.

This was exactly the result that the Chinese Empire wanted, because there were enough excuses to send troops to Brazil to help Pedro II restore the reign.

I don’t know which side fired the first shot, but afterwards, neither the Chinese Empire nor Brazil admitted that it was the first shot. However, that night, a military conflict broke out between the Chinese and Pakistani armies.

The Brazilian army launched an attack on the embassy of the Chinese Empire. In the embassy, ​​there was also a guard company of the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire, as well as more than 100 agents from SHIELD, as well as military officers and staff of the embassy, ​​all of which were more than 500. Each of them was equipped with weapons and relied on the reinforced concrete building of the embassy to exchange fire with the Brazilian army.

"You group of waste, an embassy as big as a palm, attacked for two hours without rushing in!"

Fonseka was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Thousands of Brazilian troops were unable to invade the embassy until now. This was a great humiliation.

"Your Excellency the President, it's not that we can't do it. It's because the Chinese Empire's Shen Ce Army is too powerful. Their firepower is too fierce. They actually built a machine gun bunker in the embassy. We can't break through at all!"

"Bad! Come here to mobilize the cannons for me!"

"Your Excellency the President, that would cause a large number of deaths, which is equivalent to declaring war on the Chinese Empire!"

"I can't care about so many things! Execute the command!"

Fengseca knew very well that since the Chinese Empire sent people to rescue Pedro II, it was obvious that the carriage and horses were planning to help Pedro II restore the reign. Once Pedro II was restored, a great purge would inevitably be carried out, and Fengseca himself would be executed.

It’s better to fight hard if you are all dead.

With this thought, the Brazilian army quickly transferred artillery.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

The cannon fired, and the shells hit the side wall of the embassy and exploded.

The expected big hole did not explode, but left a pit, with steel bars exposed inside, and a large area of ​​blackness around it.

When the Chinese Empire first built the embassy buildings, it considered the situation that once the two countries had a feud, so the embassy was built into an ordinary building on the surface. In fact, it was indeed poured internally according to the standards of military fortresses, using special cement and special steel to prevent magnitude ten earthquakes. It is difficult for ordinary small-caliber artillery to blow the exterior walls. Even if it is a heavy artillery, it will take one or two hours to blow a gap.

Damn it!

Fengseka suddenly became so angry that his beard raised!

"Report the report! Discover the fleet of the Chinese Empire!"
