Chapter 141 No one can snatch it
Men know everything, they are just acting on occasion.
The relationship between Mikhail and Aunt Mikhail is still very good. George did not want to destroy Mikhail's family, so the matter was left alone.
As for the Japanese request -
Who cares!
Don't listen to the Japanese who keep saying that Russia is a barbarian. Russia, which just won the 10th Russo-Turkish War, is really not something that Japan can touch.
The reason why Japan dared to provoke the Russo-Japanese War was because Japan had the support of Britain, so it took the risk.
Now even Britain looks down on Japan, so the only thing Ichiro Shiga can do is to wait.
George didn't take Ichiro Shiga seriously at all.
After the steelmaking equipment was loaded onto the truck, George received a telegram from Nikolai.
Compared with coal mines and manors, the steel plant is what George really values. Without steel, George can't do anything.
Having equipment requires experienced technical personnel.
There are no technical personnel in Vladivostok. George sends a telegram back to Nikolai, hoping that Nikolai can help George hire technicians from the Obukhov Steel Plant. George can offer a salary two times higher than that of the Obukhov Steel Plant. times salary.
After Mikhail learned about this situation, Mikhail was heartbroken.
Technical personnel do not have to be found in St. Petersburg. The steel output of the United States, Britain, France and Germany is higher than that of Russia. Could it be that technical personnel from the United States, Britain, France and Germany cannot come to Vladivostok?
George is willing to accept anyone who comes, and as long as someone is willing to come, George is willing to pay a high salary.
What George didn’t expect was that the first person to come to George was not technicians from the United States, Britain, France and Germany, but Professor Kanunnikov from St. Petersburg University.
Kanunikov was implicated in the assassination of Ya Er. Among his 12 students, 11 were members of the Volya Volya. Therefore, Kanunikov was sent to Siberia.
"Honorable Super-Prince Yurievsky, if you need steelmaking technology, then my students and I can help." Kanunnikov volunteered, he is a metallurgical major at St. Petersburg University Professors, professional counterparts.
“Why were you sent to Siberia?” George asked carefully. He valued professional skills and moral character even more.
"This is an unbearable past -" Kanunnikov did not want to recall that two of his 12 students died on the way to Siberia, one committed suicide after arriving in Vladivostok, one died in an accident last year, and the remaining The ones below all work in the field exploration team.
“They are all excellent technical talents. Chekhov’s steel-making technology has been patented, but he was stoned to death on Stanov Mountain. Sharipov solved the problem of fragile steel in winter, but Died in the Aegean Sea with no bones left - they made a mistake, but the purpose was to make the Russian Empire a better place -" Kanunnikov burst into tears.
Stanovo Mountain is the Waixing'an Mountains.
When travelers die at sea, their bodies are thrown into the sea and there is no way to bury them.
As for the assassin’s purpose——
George has no intention of pursuing it, but he will never tolerate it. They are all adults and they should pay the price if they do something wrong.
"Assassinating the Tsar will make the empire better?" George could not understand the thinking of the Narodnaya Volya.
“Not all Narodnaya Volya members want to assassinate the Tsar. Only some of the most extreme guys use the banner of Narodnaya Volya to assassinate the Tsar. Facts have proved that assassinating the Tsar will not change the empire at all. My students are all students at St. Petersburg University. They receive higher education and are not that stupid." Kanunnikov burst into tears, and he and his students were also implicated.
That’s right.
If you have a little sense, you will know that assassinating the Tsar will not be conducive to the progress of the Russian Empire. Only impulsive and angry people can be easily incited and take desperate risks.
Before Ya Er was assassinated, he was preparing for constitutional reform to transform Russia into a constitutional monarchy.
If Ya Er can succeed, who will be most worried?
Definitely not the Narodnaya Volya represented by Kanunnikov.
Because after the establishment of the State Duma, the Popular Democratic Party can enter the court as an upright political force.
So Ya San ordered a thorough investigation into Ya Er’s assassination, but left the matter half-finished.
Looking deeper, the First World War is about to break out in advance.
"Being used by others is also stupid!" George confirmed that these people are indeed not very smart.
This is normal.
Human energy is limited. If you spend more energy on academics, you will be lacking in other aspects. It is normal for you to be taken advantage of.
Russia has potential, but it has not shown corresponding strength. Although there are Russia's own reasons for this, external factors cannot be ignored.
Competition between countries is not conducted only through war.
“Yes, we are indeed stupid in some aspects.” Kanunnikov still has the persistence of an intellectual in his heart.
It is understandable to say that Kanunikov is naive, but their original intention is really to dominate the world for Russia.
As for who leads Russia, does it matter whether it is the Tsar or Davari?
Kanunikov does not have such a big picture, and his thinking is also limited by the times.
"I know your demands. Please believe that my purpose is the same as yours, which is to make the empire better -" George was moved by emotion and understood by reason.
"Yes, yes, I know, I know-" Kanunnikov looked excited, which is why he came to George.
"I can let go of your past, because we all make mistakes, but I hope you can remember that I only give you one chance." George is still willing to give you a chance, but only once.
"Thank you, I am very grateful, the distinguished Super Duke Yurievsky, please accept my allegiance-" Kanunnikov was respectful.
George is still very generous to those who are loyal to him. Winter in Vladivostok is not suitable for outdoor activities. Field exploration in this kind of weather is courting death.
The factory area that George prepared for the steel plant is located in a mountain col in Stanov Mountain. It is inaccessible and the terrain is dangerous. Only a checkpoint needs to be placed at the entrance of the col to block the news to the greatest extent.
George will not put the steel plant in Vladivostok, not only for safety reasons, but also for future development considerations.
The Governor-General of Amur is a vast and sparsely populated area and the transportation is inconvenient, but it doesn’t really matter.
The safest environment is not to be heavily guarded, nor to guard against the slightest, but to be isolated from the world and not interact with the outside world at all.
How did the Republic study Miss Qiu in its previous life?
More than 100,000 people were dragged into the desert Gobi countryside and had no contact with the outside world for more than ten years. Even their families did not know where they had gone. It was not until decades later that some of the information was declassified.
In St. Petersburg, George couldn't do it.
In Vladivostok, it’s the easiest.
Life is nothing more than birth, old age, illness and death.
George had it all.
It’s no problem to eat, George has a manor.
It’s no problem to live in it. As for the house, you can get as much house as you want.
There is a hospital when you are sick, a school for studying, and a nursing home after retirement. My wife can arrange it directly. What more do you want?
People in the market economy era do not understand how confident people in the planned economy era are.
"The environment of this place is good, traffic is a big problem -" Mikhail lay down and did nothing, spending the rubles like water, completely numb.
"This is the starting point of the Trans-Siberian Railway." George didn't want to wait any longer. Regardless of whether the empire was determined or not, George decided to act first.
It’s not all started, George doesn’t have the strength either.
At least George can start construction of the railway from Vladivostok to Khabarovsk and to Temple Street now.
Temple Street is Nikolayevsk, the northernmost city in the George Fiefdom, across the sea from Sakhalin Island. Before the Siberian Fleet moved its headquarters to Vladivostok, its headquarters was located here. Temple Street.
It is difficult to build a railway, but it is not difficult to build a railway.
Timber is plentiful in Vladivostok, and labor is cheap. The only bottleneck is the rails.
After the steel plant was built, the rails were no longer a problem.
With Vladivostok as the center and connecting Temple Street and Khabarovsk, the development of the Amur Governorate can be accelerated to the greatest extent. Residential areas can then be set up along the railway. In less than ten years, Vladivostok will be turned upside down. .
Ten years later, it happened to be 1894.
The Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War seems to have happened in this year.
What Russia is best at is blackmail.
George is determined to carry forward this characteristic of Russia.
It’s just that the target of blackmail is no longer the Qing Empire, but Japan.
In order to welcome the arrival of steelmaking equipment, George also needs to prepare a group of workers in advance.
All the foreign workers in Vladivostok have left before winter comes, and it’s really hard to find people now.
Mikhail had a way. He went to the Siberian Fleet, hoping that the Siberian Fleet could help.
"Where did the Siberian Fleet get its people from?" George was curious. He still didn't understand the nature of Russia deeply enough.
"We have nothing to do with this. It doesn't matter where the Siberian fleet gets people from. I only pay per head." Mikhail completely transformed into a human trafficker without any shame.
George suddenly realized a problem.
It's freezing and snowy, and the Siberian fleet's attempt to trick people is nothing more than deception -
No, the army is more direct in doing things, so it won't make so many twists and turns.
So——
George is really worried. In the next few days, the Siberian fleet will send shiploads of Qing people, which will cause a big evil.
"Oh, don't worry about this problem. Even if the Siberian Fleet wants to rob the Qing Empire, it can't rob it-" Mikhail understands the situation of the three East Asian countries better.
In 1884, the Qing Empire regarded the Qing territory opposite Vladivostok as the land of Longxing and did not allow Chinese to move in.
So although the Qing Empire had serious annexation of land in the pass, the people were in dire straits.
Opposite Vladivostok is thousands of miles of deserted land, even more desolate than Vladivostok.
This can also explain why the Russian Empire could easily extort millions of square kilometers of land from the Qing Empire.
So even if the Siberian Fleet wanted to rob people, they could only go to Korea and rob Japan.
