After leaving Japan, the warship Chen Mo was on went to China according to the original plan, and finally docked in Shanghai.
Of course, the Chinese side also put on a very high standard of reception. After all, Egypt has provided assistance to the Chinese side before, and the relationship between the two countries is not bad.
A bald-headed headmaster's different time and space body also personally went to Shanghai to meet with Chen Mo, the Egyptian king, and had a cordial and friendly conversation. And try to buy arms, weapons and warships from Britain, the United States and other countries through Egypt.
In order to achieve this goal, the bald-headed principal also dispatched his own vice minister of foreign affairs and the director of the office to be responsible for the reception of Chen Mo during his stay in China.
For this matter, Chen Mo did not refuse, but as the king, he was not responsible for the specific details of the negotiation, and it was enough to express an intention.
As for the warship, the bald principal's office director told Chen Mo that they had raised enough money to buy a cruiser, hoping to buy an advanced cruiser from the UK through Egypt.
Speaking of which, China's navy is really pitiful at this time. Originally, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, China had the largest fleet in Asia and the ninth largest fleet in the world. After years of wars, it has never recovered.
Coupled with the old warships and lack of maintenance and maintenance, the Chinese Navy at this time really has few usable ships.
Coupled with the signing of the Washington Treaty during this period, the great powers reached an agreement not to aid the Chinese navy, and concluded the "Agreement on Prohibition of Aiding the Chinese Navy". The construction of the Chinese navy suffered a further huge blow.
It can be said that during this period, the Chinese navy, which was once the number one in Asia, has been scattered and struggling.
Although the "Agreement Prohibiting Aid to the Chinese Navy" was abolished with the nominal unification of China in 1928, the Chinese navy was divided into four different factions at that time. The problem has caused the Chinese navy not only to fail to usher in new development due to unification and lifting of restrictions, but to struggle more and more.
Before the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, the Chinese navy at that time had only six cruisers, three destroyers, a few gunboats and a few transport ships that were not considered naval ships at all.
Therefore, Chen Mo is willing and enthusiastic about helping China strengthen its maritime military power.
The two sides have discussed this issue once before, and the Egyptian side has always been happy to help China match up and buy warships from the British.
However, the Chinese side has been unable to provide the money for a long time, and the matter has been delayed again and again.
This time, since the Chinese side expressed that they had raised money, Chen Mo was naturally willing to help and then contact the British side.
Just a warship is not cheap. Take the last World War II warship Belfast that survived after the Labor Party misled the country as an example. This light cruiser is the second ship of the Edinburgh-class light cruiser. Built and launched in 1938, with a displacement of 11,553 tons, she was one of the largest light cruisers built by the British during World War II.
And its cost was 215,000 pounds, calculated according to the exchange rate of 1 pound for 4 U.S. dollars and 1 U.S. dollar for 2.4 silver dollars, which was almost two million silver dollars.
Such a sum of money is an out-and-out huge sum of money in China in this era.
Therefore, this matter can be said to be quite important, and the Chinese side had no choice but to ask Chen Mo to come forward and invite the British Minister in Shanghai to discuss this matter with the British through his face.
Relying on Chen Mo's appearance, the British still saved face and agreed to sell the Chinese warship and provide necessary crew training.
The matter was settled, and the Chinese side was naturally relieved. At the same time, in order to thank Chen Mo, they specially held a grand reception to celebrate this matter.
At the grand reception, well-dressed men and women with heavy make-up are dancing. There is a lot of laughter among the feasting and feasting. People even mistakenly think that this is a prosperous and prosperous age.
However, Chen Mo, who was supposed to be the focus of this reception, was sitting in a corner by himself, watching all this with cold eyes, with only Jack standing beside him as a bodyguard.
"Captain, you don't seem happy?" Seeing that Chen Mo didn't seem very happy, Jack asked in a low voice.
"The high society is rich and rich, and the people at the bottom are living in dire straits. What you have seen today, behind these laughter and laughter are the bitterness and blood and tears of others. If you know all this, can you still be happy?" Chen Mo seemed to be answering Jack's question, but more like talking to himself.
Jack didn't understand what Chen Mo was talking about. As a child who grew up in the 18th century, she had never been to school and was not very literate. It was difficult for her to understand these things that were too advanced for her.
However, as Chen Mo's guard, the vampire assassin he trained, Jack still instinctively hoped that Chen Mo would be happy, so he asked, "Do I need to kill them?"
"Killing people can't solve the problem. If you want to change everything, what you need is to completely overthrow everything, and this is already being done." Speaking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help showing a smile on his face, but soon Disappear.
Although there are indeed people who are doing things to overthrow the mountain, how many people need to pay the price of blood and life in the process of overthrowing the mountain?
This is a difficult question, and Chen Mo couldn't answer it, but he knew that all the sacrifices were worth it.
Thinking of this, he took an empty glass on the table, poured a glass of wine silently, but did not pick it up, just put it there, then poured another glass for himself, picked up his own glass, and the table After touching the glass on the table, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Tell the person who received us that I'm too drunk, so I'll take my leave first." After speaking, Chen Mo stood up and walked outside.
Chen Mo's departure naturally attracted attention immediately, but Jack stopped everyone, and blocked everyone's mouths with what Chen Mo told her.
Although the few people in charge of the reception could see that Chen Mo was not drunk, he was a foreign head of state, and he had just done a big favor to China. The protagonist who was able to watch the reception just left.
However, although Chen Mo left, these people had no intention of ending the reception. On the contrary, the reception had just become lively.
The song goes on, the dance goes on...
