() Looking at the information in his hand, Liu Fu couldn't laugh or cry. Someone actually came to snatch this kind of thing. But thinking about the possible consequences, Liu Fu was still afraid. In order to slightly change history, he took a big risk.
It was a risk. Unfortunately, although the risk was not in vain, it was far from the original intention at the time.
In the more than a year from the start of the war between the Eight-Power Allied Forces and the Qing government to the signing of the "Xinchou Treaty", Taiwan's agriculture and agricultural product processing industries have developed rapidly.
fu provided low-interest loans, and many smart-minded people began to use the loans to build large and small sugar processing plants and camphor oil processing plants. Using Taiwan's abundant sugar cane and camphor raw materials, they were processed and then exported to Europe and the United States, creating larger
Wealth. Since this year, Taiwan has no longer or rarely exported raw sugar or camphor raw materials. It mainly exports white sugar, camphor, and camphor oil.
In addition to agriculture, there has also been some progress in industry, especially the construction of the second industrial base near Dagougang in Fengshan County, Tainan, which has greatly promoted Tainan's economy, which was originally dominated by agriculture. This industrial base includes an
Liu Fu raised all the investment in more than a dozen factories, including a steel plant, a chemical plant, an oil refinery, a machinery factory and two thermal power plants, mainly to promote the economic development of Tainan and thereby reduce the burden on the whole country.
Taiwan’s dependence on the Keelung Industrial Zone.
Thanks to the railways and highways around Taiwan, a large number of laborers from the originally backward Taitung and Tainan areas have entered Taipei and worked in factories in Taichung or Tainan to earn money. This not only accelerated Taiwan's industrial development, but also solved some problems in backward areas.
economic issues.
Due to the continuous increase in imports and exports, all settlements in silver are no longer suitable for Taiwan's economic development. After several years of efforts by the Bank of Taiwan and Helena, a new economic system and currency system were finally formulated for Taiwan. The newly issued Taiwan
There are two types of currency, banknotes and metal coins.
There are only three types of banknotes: 100 yuan, 50 yuan and 10 yuan; metal coins are divided into eight types: 5 yuan, 2 yuan, 1 yuan, 5 jiao, 2 jiao and 1 jiao, 5 cents and 1 cent;
Printed with a seagull spreading its wings and flying on the sea, this new currency was named "Oll Yuan".
The new Ou Yuan will be linked to gold, and one ounce of gold will be exchanged for 20.5 Ou Yuan, which is almost the same as the US dollar. Since the Ou Yuan is not yet accepted by the Chinese people, the Ou Yuan will coexist with silver taels and copper yuan for a period of time. This dual track
The currency system will slowly transform into a single currency system in the next five years. During this period, the Bank of Taiwan will use various preferential policies to encourage businessmen within Taiwan and various countries to slowly accept the Ou Yuan.
A full 14 years have passed since the opening of compulsory 9-year education schools in Taipei and Keelung. Now compulsory education has been fully rolled out in Taiwan. The Ministry of Education will establish Taiwan's first formal university, this four-year university, this year.
Located in Taipei City, it was named "Mingchuan University" to commemorate Liu Mingchuan's contribution to Taiwan.
In this era, Taiwan had no external interference and was under Liu Fu's forward-looking rule. It was a period of rapid development for the people and the country. However, there was still a problem that had been bothering Liu Fu, and that was the diplomatic issue.
.Taiwan’s government has never been recognized by the country, so at present, Taiwan’s government is still an illegal government and is not recognized by the world.
Liu Fu scratched his head and couldn't think of a way to change this situation. Liu Fu once discussed this issue with David. David tentatively raised the Taiwan issue with senior American officials he knew, and the information he received showed that,
The U.S. government can help Taiwan gain recognition from various countries, but Taiwan may have to pay some costs, including a series of unequal treaties such as extraterritoriality and concessions.
Liu Fu would definitely not agree to these things. He was living a good life, so why did he have to find a malicious stepfather to come to his territory and disgust him?
"If you don't admit it, don't admit it. It's shameless now. When you fight with yourself, see how I deal with you." Liu Fu thought hard.
Liu Fu has such confidence mainly from several aspects.
First of all, of course, his elementary school-level historical knowledge told Liu Fu that in the near future, that is, in 1910, another great disaster would befall the world, and that would be the First World War.
The Great War. In this war, several countries that could threaten Taiwan were involved to varying degrees. For these countries, suffering was waiting for them. For Liu Fu, it was an opportunity.
Secondly, there is Taiwan’s current technological level. From infantry firearms to mortars, grenades and machine guns, Taiwan has developed a series of weapons that are far superior to those currently equipped by other countries. Although the Taiwan Army is still a rookie army with no combat experience.
, but it should be enough to defend Taiwan. The navy is more
It is gratifying that the second-generation improved "Tuna-class" submarine has begun to equip the troops. The new "Tuna-class" submarine uses a new diesel-electric propulsion system, which has improved the speed and range, especially the underwater duration. "Keelung
The first batch of three destroyers has been launched and delivered to the Navy
Judging from the response of the Navy during this period, the design of this destroyer is very good. The speed, range, seaworthiness, gun power and other parameters satisfy the Navy. The Navy plans to build 3 more ships, but the application has just arrived.
The Ministry of National Defense was rejected by Liu Fu, who is also the Minister of National Defense. Liu Fu’s reasons
That is, the current main job of the shipyard is to cooperate with the research institute to design and build a cruiser of about 10,000 tons, and this cruiser has high requirements in terms of speed, weight, armor and artillery, so the shipyard cannot free up enough
With a large number of manpower, only a small number of people can be spared to build a destroyer first.
Finally, it’s money, and war means burning money. What Liu Fu is most at ease with now is money. Taiwan’s agriculture and industry have developed greatly in recent years. Although various taxes are not high, the government
Fu's income and expenditure can basically be balanced. Although large investments sometimes require Liu Fu's own pocket, Liu Fu also holds a large amount of "Sandru Pharmaceutical Company", "Sandro Electric Company", "Daqing Petroleum Company"
Company" and the upcoming "Dongfeng Motor Company"
As long as these money-attracting monsters don't go bankrupt, Liu Fu doesn't have to worry about problems with his own funds. As for companies such as "Keelung Heavy Industry", "Keelung Chemical Industry", and "Keelung Mining", Liu Fu had already
Donate these companies to the country
After the Gengzi Incident, the countries in the Far East, both victorious and defeated, were busy lying on the carrion of the Qing Dynasty to grab food and nurse their own internal injuries. The entire East Asia region has entered a relatively peaceful era. Liu Fu looked at Taiwan
Under his own leadership, he has developed into a powerful economic and military country in a very low-key but stylish way. I often feel proud and regretful.
