Chapter 089 Nakamura is the Duke

"Li Zicheng, Liuhe!"

When this sound came from the room, the middle-aged man sitting in the black kimono with short silver gray hair in Tatami's body seemed calm on his face, but his eyes showed his true emotions, and his eyes were filled with anger.

The person with short silver-gray hair and eyes full of gloomy hair is the second president of Nanman Railway Co., Ltd., and Nakamura is the Gong. The fundamental reason for his anger is that the factory is shut down due to the sudden resignation of technical workers at Shakawakou Railway Factory and other affiliated factories of six other companies.

"President, the technical workers drawn from China have arrived at Shahekou and several other factories. Now the production of the factory has returned to normal!"

Standing in front of the president, he lowered his head and lowered his head. Miyamoto's report.

He picked up the small teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. Nakamura calmed himself down. Then he looked up at the young man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses in front of him, who looked gentle and kind.

"Miyamoto, if I remember it wrong, your father will also be hit by them, right?"

"Yes, I believe that after handling the compensation matters, my father will use his own actions to wash away the shame on his body!"

When answering the president's question, Miyamoto Shiro bowed his head again, and no emotional fluctuations appeared on his face.

Listening to Miyamoto's words, Nakamura nodded and sighed.

"Your father, although he is not a samurai and does not wear a sword on his waist, there is an invisible sword of a samurai in his belly!"

After sighing, Nakamura Shiko stood up and walked out of the room slowly, while Miyamotojiro followed him, and the two walked one after another to the elegant courtyard.

"Miyamoto, as a member of the Miyamoto family, you must redeem the honor of the Miyamoto family!"

"return!"

Miyamotoro responded in a deep voice.

"Longhai Railway!"

After saying this, Nakamura Shigong was silent for a moment.

"That is a too sensitive area, the junction of the sphere of influence between Germany and Britain and the United States. It is precisely because of this that Li Zicheng and the Chinese people obtained that railway. In the long run, the two thousand kilometers of Longhai Railway will have far more development prospects than the South Manchuria Railway. The railway will run through the hinterland of northwest China that the powers of the countries have never reached. It will inevitably radiate to many provinces and affect the lives of 100 million Chinese people. It can be said that this railway is the real steel artery!"

When he spoke up, Nakamura Shiko's face was filled with a hint of envy.

"As the president of Nanman Railway Co., Ltd., I cannot be satisfied with the railway we have obtained in Nanman now. If possible, I hope we can enter the hinterland of China, and this railway will lead us into the hinterland of China. If we can get this railway, then it will be not far from Japan controlling the entire China!"

"Your Excellency is very much!"

Miyamoto-jiro responded, and deep down he guessed that perhaps the president had decided what.

"Whether it is the South Manchurian Railway, the Middle East Railway, or the Jiaoji Railway, they actually revolve around one road, one port, and one city. Without Dalian as an exit, the South Manchurian Railway would not have made a profit today. If the Middle East Railway did not have Vladivostok as an exit, the people of Lu finally could only sell the railway to us. The Jiaoji Railway did not have Qingdao, which would be a dead end! It can be said that the railway and the port city complement each other and are indispensable!"

As the president of Manchurian Railway, Nakamura Shikong understands the relationship between a railway and a port than anyone else.

"The Longhai Railway has only one special station, namely Lianyungang, which will develop into Dalian, Jiangsu in the future. The 400 square kilometers of railway land is enough to build a large city that is no less than Shanghai. Therefore, the development of the Longhai Railway Company will also revolve around one city, one port, and all the way. If we want to revenge on them, we must use our brains on it!"

When he walked to the bamboo planted against the wall, Nakamura Shigong fell silent. Is it because he was worried that Japan's direct intervention in Lianyungang would cause a rebound from Germany, Britain, and the United States? How could he?... All countries are extremely sensitive to the changes in their sphere of influence in China. In fact, it is this sensitivity that prevents China from being divided and occupied. If Japan rashly interferes in Lianyungang's affairs, no matter what the reason is, it will cause a strong rebound from Germany, Britain and the United States. Perhaps Li Zicheng is precisely this and will be so scrupleless.

"What a cunning guy!"

In his heart, Nakamura sighed, "I reached out to break a dead leaf on the bamboo joint."

Not only is he very cunning, but he is also very rich

Indeed, Li Zicheng is very rich, but now his funds are occupied by the government. The funds, a railway of 2,000 kilometers, require at least 250 million yen to invest. In addition, the vehicles and cars along the route are not 300 million yen, he cannot build this railway at all. The short-sighted Chinese government prohibits him from mortgageing the railway to loans from foreign banks.

"The Chinese government is really a friend of Japan!"

While sighing, Nakamura Shikong's eyes lit up.

"City, the city is the core!"

I muttered, Nakamura, holding the dead leaf in his hand, turned around and looked at Miyamoto standing with his head hanging down behind him.

"You now notify the investigation department immediately and ask them to collect all the information about Lianyungang. I must know what Liuhe Company is doing, what they purchased from abroad, and how they planned the entire city. Since it is a commercial competition, then we will use the means of a businessman to deal with it!"

As he spoke, a hint of mocking appeared on Nakamura's face. The businessman's methods were Li Zicheng's methods, but he did not necessarily only use the businessman's methods. He would use all means to crack down on Liuhe Company and Longhai Railway Company.

"return!"

Miyamoto responded in a deep voice. Although he didn't know the president's intention, understanding the opponent is often the first step to defeat the opponent. Now, it is not too late to understand the opponent.

"Miyomoto, you must remember that we are not just for the interests of the society, but also for the interests of Japan. Perhaps, it is very easy for us to directly retaliate against the Chinese people with the strength of the empire and the weakness of the Chinese government, but in that case, we may even sacrifice the interests of the empire!"

"Um?"

Miyamotoro was stunned and couldn't understand the president's intention.

"If we encourage the government to intervene, 60% of the government may intervene. Perhaps Li Zicheng has the background of the American consortium behind it, but the United States..."

After a smile, Nakamura Yako continued to say.

"Morgan may be able to protect Li Zicheng himself, but the Chinese government cannot resist the pressure from Japan. But our pressure will at most let the Chinese government find some reasons to force the Longhai Railway to shut down, which will cause Li Zicheng to lose tens of millions of funds, but why should we do this?"

After a questioning, a hint of longing appeared on Nakamura Shiko's face.

"We want Li Zicheng to build that railway without even disturbing him. At Hachiman Iron Factory, after the iron ore in Anshan is mined next year, the dependence on Daye's iron ore will not be so high. So now we can even help him and prevent the government from fully intervening in this matter, but we must remember this matter!"

Although Nakamura's official words have not been made clear yet, Miyamotoro understood the president's intention, and the president is hopeful...

"We need to look further and bigger. We cannot just focus our eyes on Li Zicheng, but also on the Longhai Railway and the entire China. That is the interests of the Japanese Empire!"

That night, after pouring a glass of wine for Nakamura in his own hands, Nishiyuanji Gongwang looked at the current president of Manchu Railway seriously. His suggestions really made everyone excited.

"Although I'm not sure, if I can get the cooperation of the government, I can be at least 60% sure!"

Nakamura Shigong answered truthfully.

"We must consider the future reactions of Britain, the United States and Germany!"

The King of Xiyuan Temple reminded me.

"When the Qing Dynasty planned to build the Longhai Railway, both Britain, the United States, Germany, and Lucia showed great interest. Every country understood that no matter who obtained this railway, it would affect China's inland hinterland, but in the end, all countries gave up because no one wanted to see the other party obtain this railway. In the end, the Chinese could only build it themselves, and even foreign loans could not be used, or at least borrowed by big countries."

"Indeed, countries are very sensitive to this, just like the silence they are now, but time, time will change everything! Prime Minister!"

Nakamura's words made Nishiyuanji brow jump.

"oh!"

"With the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the domestic politics of China became increasingly chaotic. Although the revolutionary party in the south and Yuan Shikai in the north had already negotiated peace on the surface, in fact, from the resignation of the four southern cabinet members after the downfall of the Tang cabinet, it can be seen that the north and the south have irreconcilable contradictions. It can be said that the current situation in China is actually more dangerous than during the Qing Dynasty, and a civil war may break out!"

He frowned and the Lord of Xiyuan Temple looked silent for a moment.

"Then Nakamura means..."

"For the Longhai Railway, we will start from business in the future and slowly hurt its vitality through commercial competition. At the same time, we must also use the desire for power of the two factions of the north and the south to lure China into war. Once it falls into war, our opportunity will come. In the war, it is difficult to maintain the interests of enterprises... At that time, we can use loans to railway companies and even the north and the south and other methods to obtain the entire Longhai Railway, but this requires the cooperation of the government!"

After slowly expressing his suggestions, Nakamura looked at Nishiyuan Temple, and Nishiyuan Temple was silent. Finally, he nodded.

"For the sake of Japan's interests, this is the only way!"...
