    When Demons thought about these trivial matters, the more he thought about it, the more upset he became. What he cared about was not just the economic loss of 10,000 to 20,000 silver dollars, but also the meaning behind it.

    Among the Western businessmen in Shanghai, he has the deepest connection with Hongjun and the most closely related interests. If Hongjun has any trouble, he will feel an earthquake here, not to mention that now he has reached a bottleneck period in his development.  I want to find a way to break through.

    ¡°Should he show his face at the Treasury Bond Exchange, collect some bonds, and then spread some good news?¡± Demons hesitated, but still had not decided.

    At this moment, someone knocked on his door, and then someone said: "Mr. Hu Xueyan is here!"

    "Invite him in!"

    Demons was very angry with Hu Xueyan, who was very popular in Shanghai's Chinese circles. This guy was not authentic, and Guan Jian was always unreliable. He was about to scold Hu Xueyan, but he found a look of envy on Hu Xueyan's face.  look.

    This is a good thing. Demons immediately asked: "How much public debt has been collected today?"

    "Your Majesty wants to see you!" Hu Xueyan's next words almost stunned Demens.

    "Your Majesty? Check?"

    Demens is still used to calling Liu Chang his old job. Hu Xueyan nodded: "Send me over there to inform you to rent out the property immediately. There are arrangements over there!"

    "Your Majesty has come to Shanghai?"

    This time, Demons was even more shocked. He knew that although Liu Chang was the person who knew the most about the West in China, he did not want to be too influenced by the West, and he had no idea of ??believing in Christianity.  Therefore, Hangzhou was chosen as the capital to avoid being overly influenced by Westerners.

    Therefore, His Majesty has never shown any signs of leaving Hangzhou City, but today's situation shocked him.  He couldn't help but panic.

    The invasion of the Russians was indeed like a mountain bearing down on the top of the mountain, and even Liu Juehu could not sit still.

    ??Just want to think about it.  His face was still very calm: "Where is Your Majesty?"

    Hu Xueyan still had a look of envy on his face. This Dutchman was closer to Liu Chang than him: "There will be arrangements when you leave the concession. Don't forget to say a few good words for me when the time comes!"

    "Very good, very good!" Demens followed Hu Xueyan out of the concession without even tying the tie he had torn off.

    Normally, a big shot like him would have at least a dozen followers in the rental area, but today he didn¡¯t bring any followers with him after leaving the rental area.  He even got into a carriage and was immediately hooded. He walked around the city of Shanghai several times and finally arrived at the location. Two guards tore off the hood from his head: "Mr. Demons, please go inside!"

    When Demons arrived at the mansion, he confirmed that Liu Chang had arrived in Shanghai unknowingly.  Because the security of the outer circle is handled by armed guards, but the security of the inner circle is a group of female internal guards: "Where is your Majesty!"

    He just remembered that his appearance was not very good, so he took off his suit and kept it in his hand without paying much attention to it.  Wearing a white shirt, he let the guards inspect him, and then walked in under the guidance of a female officer: "How is your Majesty's health?"

    "I'm fine!" Liu Chang and Demengs haven't seen each other for a few days, let alone such a private meeting. Liu Chang directly held Demengs's hand: "You all go out, this is a man's relationship.  It¡¯s a matter of time!¡±

    Demons was also in a very happy mood, and all the previous pessimism and disappointment disappeared. Among the foreigners in Shanghai, who else has such qualifications except him? You must know that this is not as simple as meeting, but Liu  Chang is ready to have a long talk with him.

    Nowadays, even senior cadres at the governor level often do not have such convenience: "Your Majesty is coming to me about the public bond market, right? I have prepared hundreds of thousands of silver dollars. If it is not enough, I can borrow a few more from the UK."  One hundred thousand silver dollars, we must support the market of public bonds!"

    Liu Chang asked him to sit down, and the two of them sat on the armchairs and talked for a long time: "There is no rush about the public debt, and the market is not too bad. As long as we win the battle, things will naturally pick up. Now I have an urgent matter for you."  Come do it!¡±

    "Your Majesty, please tell me that as long as I, Demons, can do it, I will die without mercy!" Demons can now speak Chinese fluently: "But what about money and food?"

    "No!" Liu Chang told Demons: "I came to you this time to ask you to practice your old business again!"

    "Arms?" Demons had a bad premonition: "What kind of munitions do you need now?"

    "It's arms smuggling!" Liu Chang told Demens: "Is there any convenient way in Russian Poland?"

    Demons is completely blind: "Poland? Poland?"

    Although engaged in arms smuggling,But this is a completely new territory for Demons: "What kind of arms are going to be smuggled? Is it a long gun or a short gun? Is there gunpowder? How much cargo should be transported at one time!"

    Liu Chang also told him the truth without any scruples: "Although Russia wants to set a fire for me, I can only set a fire in their backyard. This smuggling is in response to the request of the Poles."

    Strictly speaking, Liu Chang's special war in Russia has begun for a year, but it is too inconvenient for Liu Chang. After all, he does not have such talents who can speak Russian, even if he sends intelligence personnel to infiltrate into Russia.  , it is also very difficult to achieve results, not to mention that the highlight now is the domestic situation.

    Fortunately, the war against Russia a year ago captured a large number of Russian prisoners. Not all of these prisoners were Russians. There were Poles, Caucasians, Mongolians and various minority brigades. With this group of prisoners  Only Liu Chang can carry out infiltration work into Russia.

    The focus of the work is on the Poles. The Russian Poland in this time and space can be said to be the most elite part of the entire Russian Empire. The Russian Tsar has implemented a special policy, that is, the economy between Tsarist Russia and Russian Poland  There is no need to pay tariffs for transactions. Although this policy is anti-Polish, it has promoted the development of the Polish economy. The entire Poland has become the most advanced and developed industrial zone in the entire Russian Empire.

    In the following period, Poland's industrial areas had special significance for the Russian-Soviet Union. Konev once mentioned in his memoirs that Stalin specifically pointed to the Silesian industrial area on the map and called it a real treasure.  To allow the German troops in Silesia to successfully escape, this industrial area must also be preserved, and the Soviet jokes include jokes about Soviet foreign aid and Polish production.

    If there had been no Crimean War, perhaps the Russification of Poland would have continued successfully, but the Crimean War excited the Poles who were enjoying economic development. They were already preparing for a revolutionary war and completely restored the Napoleonic era.  Territory and glory.

    In history, this is the famous Polish Revolution of 1863, an anti-Russian uprising that was full of divisions, internal strife, and ugliness from the beginning. However, for Liu Chang in 1858, this revolution  It was too late, he had to be the one to induce the birth.

    As for how many Poles will die in this premature Polish revolution, or what unpredictable consequences it will cause, Liu Chang doesn't care, as long as there is chaos within Russia. It is based on this consideration that Liu Chang found the Russian prisoners of war.  Thirteen Poles, the next step was to successfully train six agents who were sent back to Poland and were put in charge of a team of agents temporarily sent to Vienna.

    Although the Imperial Russian secret police was famous throughout the Tsarist Russia era, their work efficiency was not high, not to mention that it was the honeymoon period between Tsarist Russia and Russian Poland. There was a relaxed atmosphere in the entire Poland, so this field mission  The operation yielded unexpected information.

    According to secret telegrams sent by the secret service team from Vienna, up to now, although individual downlines have been sabotaged or suspected, there is an anti-Russian sentiment throughout Poland. Poles with a sense of superiority often mention how  Freed from the control of the eastern barbarians, they already have dozens of loyal backbones and hundreds of peripheral elements, and they are growing every month, and they have also gained contact with the Polish upper class.

    But according to their observations, the upper echelons of Poland have now been split into the Red Party and the White Party. Although they both have anti-Russian sentiments, these two factions attack each other, showing the absolute democratic style of the Polish people in history - Poland is in decline.  In the past, there was a tradition of absolute democracy, also known as the famous one-vote veto rate. As long as one of the nobles participating in the meeting disagreed, the resolution passed by the entire noble meeting was completely invalid.

    Moreover, these Polish upper-class people, whether they are the White Party or the Red Party, are not very trustworthy. They made incredible demands to Vienna as soon as they opened their mouths. Liu Chang read out these surprisingly large numbers to Demons: "  We need 1,600 military instructors, 80,000 Minie rifles, 7,400 lances, 600 cannons, 7,000 barrels of gunpowderwell, and 7.6 million pounds of financial support.  !¡±

    Demons immediately replied: "If we had so many resources, we could definitely fight against the Trans-Russians and even fight them back to Moscow, these lovely Poles!"

    The Poles are more than cute. Liu Chang told Demons: "Count Demons, this is just the aid list sent to us by the White Party. There is another one sent by the Red Party"

    "A bunch of helpless people!" Demons originally had great hopes for the Poles, but now he can only say: "You won't really let me smuggle arms to these lovely Poles, will you?"

    Liu Chang said happily: "I'm here to find you."I am preparing to do this. I don¡¯t need Polish freedom. All I need is a revolution. Mr. Demons, what do you think?  "

    Demons liked Liu Chang's frankness: "You are right, we don't care about Poland's independence, freedom, democracy or anything else. We just want to see Russia fail, but first I need a big sum of money."  Funding!" To be continued.  If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
