Chapter 550 Poland
WDmons thought of these trivial matters, and the more he thought about them, the more he became upset. He cared about not only the economic losses of 10,000 or 20,000 silver dollars, but also the meaning behind them.
Among the Western merchants in Shanghai, he is the deepest combination with the Hongjun and the most closely related interests. The only thing that the Hongjun has to do is to make trouble, he feels like an earthquake. Moreover, now he is at the bottleneck period, and he always wants to find a way to break through.
Should I show off at the government bond exchange, then collect some government bonds and spread some good news? Demons hesitated for a while, but still didn't make a decision.
At this moment, someone knocked on his door, and then someone said, "Mr. Hu Xueyan is here!"
"Please come in!"
Demons was very angry about Hu Xueyan, who was very good at Chinese in Shanghai. This kid was not authentic and was always unreliable when he was at ease. Just as he was about to give a few words of advice, he found that Hu Xueyan had a look of envy on his face.
This is a good thing, Demons immediately asked, "How many public debts have you collected today?"
"Your Majesty wants to see you!" Hu Xueyan's next sentence almost shocked Demons.
"Your Majesty? Check it out?"
Demons was still used to calling Liu Chang's old job, and Hu Xueyan nodded: "Send me a notification there and ask you to go out to the concession immediately, and there are arrangements there!"
"Your arrival in Shanghai?"
Demons was even more shocked. He knew that although Liu Chang was the one who knew the Western situation best in China, he was unwilling to be influenced by the West and had no idea of believing in Christianity. Therefore, he established his capital in Hangzhou to avoid being overly influenced by the Westerners.
Therefore, this Majesty never showed signs of leaving Hangzhou City, but today's situation shocked him. He couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
The Russian invasion was indeed like Mount Tai, and even Liu Juehu could not sit still.
Just thinking about it, his face was still calm: "Where is Your Majesty?"
Hu Xueyan still looked envious. The Dutchman was closer to Liu Chang than himself: "You will have an arrangement when you leave the concession. Don't forget to say a few good words for me at that time!"
"Very good, very good!" Demons didn't even put the torn tie in, so he followed Hu Xueyan out of the concession.
Usually, a big man like him has to arrange at least a dozen entourages in the concession. Today, he didn't bring any entourage. After leaving the concession, he even got on a carriage and was directly covered with his head. He circled around Shanghai City for a few times. Finally, he arrived at the location. The two guards tore off the snails on his head: "Mr. Demons, please go inside!"
When Demons arrived at this big mansion, he confirmed that it was Liu Chang who had arrived in Shanghai unknowingly. Because the security of the periphery was the responsibility of the armed guards, but the security of the inner circle was a group of female inner guards: "Where is Your Majesty!"
He remembered that his appearance was not very good, and he didn't clean up much, so he took off his suit and put it in his hand. He wore a white shirt and let the guards check it out, and then walked in under the guidance of a female official: "How is your Majesty's body?"
"I'm fine!" Liu Chang and Demons had not met for many days, let alone such a private meeting. Liu Chang directly held Demons' hand: "You all go out, this is a matter between men!"
Demons was also in a happy mood. All his pessimism and disappointment had disappeared at once. Among the foreigners in Shanghai, who has such qualifications besides him? You should know that this is not as simple as meeting, but Liu Chang is preparing to have a long talk with him.
Now even senior cadres at the level of the military commander level do not have such convenience: "Your Majesty is coming to me for the public debt market? I have prepared hundreds of thousands of silver dollars. If it is not enough, I will borrow hundreds of thousands of silver dollars from the UK and must hold up the public debt market!"
Liu Chang asked him to sit down, and the two of them sat on the chair and talked for a long time: "Don't worry about public debt, and the market is not too bad. As long as you win the battle, it will naturally recover. Now there is an important thing to ask you to do!"
"Your Majesty, please give me instructions. As long as I, Demons, can do it, I will die!" Demons is already fluent in speaking Chinese: "But is the problem with money and food?"
"No!" Liu Chang told Demons: "This time I'm asking you to have sex with you again!"
"Martial arts?" Demons had a bad premonition: "What kind of arms do you need now?"
"It's arms smuggling!" Liu Chang told Demons: "In Russian Poland, what are the convenient ways?"
Demons is completely blinded: "Poland? Poland?"
Although it is used to smuggle arms, it is a completely new field for Demons: "What kind of arms are to smuggle? Is it a long spear or a short spear? Is there any gunpowder? How much goods should I take at a time!"
Liu Chang also told him the truth without hesitation: "Although Russia wants to set a fire for me, I can only set a fire in their backyard. This smuggling was in line with the request of the Poles."
Strictly speaking, Liu Chang's special war in Russia has begun for a year, but for Liu Chang, there are too many inconveniences. After all, he does not have such Russian-speaking talents. Even if he sends intelligence personnel to infiltrate Russia, it will be very difficult to achieve results, let alone the highlight of the current situation is the domestic situation.
Fortunately, a large number of Russian prisoners were captured by the Russian war a year ago. Not all of these prisoners were Russians, including Poles, Caucasians, Mongolians and various minority brigades. With this group of people, Liu Chang could carry out infiltration of Russia.
The focus of the work is the Poles. Russian Poland in this time and space can be said to be the most important part of the entire Russian Empire. The Russian Tsar has implemented a special policy, that is, there is no need to pay tariffs for economic exchanges between Tsarist Russia and Russian Poland. Although this policy is anti-Polish nation, it has promoted the development of the Polish economy. The entire Poland has become the most advanced and developed industrial area of the entire Russian Empire.
In the future, Poland's industrial zones had special significance for Russia-Soviet. Konev mentioned in his memoir that Stalin specifically pointed to the Silesian industrial zone on the map, saying that it was a real treasure land. It would rather let the German army in Silesia escape successfully than preserve this industrial zone. The Soviet jokes were even more like the jokes of Soviet foreign aid and Poland production.
If there was no Crimean War, perhaps Poland's russification would have continued successfully, but the Crimean War excited the Poles who were enjoying economic development. They were ready for a war to completely restore the territory and glory of the Napoleon era.
In history, this is the famous Polish Revolution in 1863. It was once full of division, internal struggle and ugly anti-Russian uprising from the beginning. However, for Liu Chang in 1858, this revolution came too late and he had to be born.
As for how many Poles would die in this early Polish revolution or what unpredictable consequences it would cause, Liu Chang didn't care. As long as the internal chaos in Russia was in chaos, it was precisely based on this consideration that Liu Chang found thirteen Poles in the Russian army's captives, and the next step was to successfully train six agents sent back to Poland, and a special agent team temporarily sent to Vienna was responsible.
Although the secret police of the Imperial and Russian were well-known throughout the Tsarist Russia era, their work efficiency was not high, let alone the honeymoon period between Tsarist Russia and Russian Poland. The entire Poland was in a gentle atmosphere, so this field operation received unexpected information.
According to the secret telegram sent by the special agent team from Vienna, although some of the offline lines have been destroyed or suspected, there is an anti-Russian sentiment in Poland. The Poles with a sense of superiority often mention how to get rid of the control of the Eastern barbarians. They already have dozens of loyal backbones and hundreds of peripheral members, and are constantly developing every month and have contact with the Polish upper class.
However, according to their observations, the upper class of Poland has now been split into the Red Party and the White Party. Although both have anti-Russian sentiments, these two factions attack each other, which has a strong historical absolute democracy style of Polish people. Before Poland declined, it had a tradition of absolute democracy, that is, the famous veto rate. As long as one of the nobles attending the meeting disagreed, the resolution passed by the entire noble meeting would be completely invalid.
Moreover, these upper-class people in Poland, whether the White Party or the Red Party, were all not very trustworthy. They made incredible requests to Vienna as soon as they spoke. Liu Chang read these surprisingly large numbers to Demons: "We need 1,600 military instructors, 80,000 Minni rifles, 7,400 rifles, 600 cannons, 7,000 barrels of gunpowder... Well, there are 7,600 British pounds of financial support!"
Demons immediately replied: "If we have so many resources, we can fight across the Russians, or even bring them back to Moscow, these lovely Poles!"
The Poles are more than just cute. Liu Chang told Demons: "Earl of Demons, this is just a list of aid sent to us by the White Party, and there is another one sent by the Red Party..."
"A bunch of Adots who can't help!" Demons originally had great hope for the Poles, but now he can only say: "You won't really let me smuggle arms to these lovely Poles, are you?"
Liu Chang said happily: "I came to you just to do this. I don't need Polish freedom. All I need is a revolution. Your Excellency Demons, what do you think?"
Demons likes Liu Chang's confession like this: "You are right. We don't care about Poland's **, freedom, democracy or anything else. We just want to see Russia's failure, but first of all, I need a lot of funds!" To be continued.
