Nicholas II was even more happy when he was assured by the Queen of Salisbury. It is for this reason that Nicholas II directly agreed to a large amount of long-term low-interest loans to help Japan tide over the difficulties. The enemy enemy is now vigorously supporting Japan, and at least he will have a strong helper in the Far East. Although Nicholas II despised the Japanese yellow-skinned monkeys, he did not mind that the Japanese stabbed the Chinese tiger in the back when the Republic of China went to war.
In the future, the ownership of the three northeastern provinces does not recognize that the weak Japanese can make the Russian soldiers rival! Lend a few guts to the Japanese and dare not stroke the Russian beard!
Nicholas II, a war machine belonging to Russia, kept turning and began to look for new opportunities to meet Zhang Yi, a Chinese tiger!
Nicholas II resented the idea that Zhang Yi, the Chinese tiger, would go and see. It won’t be long before we meet again on the battlefield, and then we’ll see how the old man can repay his great hatred!
At the turn of the century, the Middle and Far East has once again become the focus of military and political affairs, and war is hard to avoid.
However, Zhang Yilai’s actions can’t be deterred. Now the development of the three northeastern provinces has re-entered the express train, and the development of Fengtian has been stagnant. Now the annual output value of Fengtian has surpassed that of Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces combined, and the development of Jilin, Heilongjiang and Mongolia is faster than that of Taiwan Province and Taiwan Province. If Shi Dakai comes to be rich, it will stabilize the situation in Taiwan Province and promote the modern industrial development of Taiwan Province as much as possible. Now the total industrial output value of the Republic of China has exceeded more than half of China, and the profits and taxes paid by tax-paying enterprises are higher than that of the whole Great Qing Dynasty. Such strength is no longer
Zhang Yiqiang’s soldiers have always established a corresponding economic foundation. Modern soldiers know that the war is overwhelming and the fishing ground is dry. Zhang Yi has always focused on infrastructure education in finance. Until now, the whole Republic of China has only fifteen reorganization divisions, and the fighting capacity of six new troops is not very strong. Twenty divisions will not be achieved until at least the year after next.
Now, the British have given me a piece of paper, and my heart is really annoyed. Mom always throws money and has to build a fleet first!
Zhang Yi instructed Liang Cheng and Liu Buchan to meet directly with Kohl, head of China of German Minister Kleinfen Krupp Heavy Industry Group.
Liang Cheng, Liu Buchan, has seen Cory Finkel too much. After all, these two people are very familiar with the two most important figures in the German Republic of China.
Liang Cheng went all the way. "Dear Minister Korifen and Mr. Cole, we are entrusted by our president to communicate with your country about purchasing warships from your country." Korifen frowned. "Mr. Liang, if we want to buy Krupp heavy artillery, we will do our best to meet our needs, but the warships are really hungry for General Zhang Jian, and we are afraid that we can’t meet the warships. After all, we don’t have the world’s most advanced English. At the same time, the largest fleet is so strong in the shipbuilding industry. "Liu Buchan smiled slightly." Mr. Korifen, you can rest assured that you will fully consider the actual situation in your country. In three years, I hope that we can complete the warship transaction in three years. It should be no problem for us to build four or five advanced warships in three years with the development of your shipbuilding industry. The remaining warships can be allocated to you from the active warships in your country. "
Chapter five hundred and seventy-six Interview with German Minister
Cole laughed. "General Liu is afraid to let you down. This time, it is really difficult for us to meet our requirements. In three years, we thought that the Krupp Regiment should be able to produce six advanced warships, but don’t forget that now our Britain and France are becoming more and more rigid. Our country also needs enough navies to deter what Britain and France are trying to do. Maybe we can only afford four more warships, and we hope your country can understand."
Liang Cheng Liu Buchan forgot to look at each other and nodded to each other. "That’s four warships, but these four warships hope to shorten the delivery time. Now the Russian Taiping Rock Fleet has been reorganized and settled. The elite forces of the two fleets in the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea are facing great threats. At the same time, the British empire was robbed by a warship department. Now the strength of the joint fleet can dominate Asia. In the event of war, you need to know clearly that the economic interests of your country, the Republic of China, will be greatly threatened and it is likely to change hands!"
Cole retired from the German Army, and the iron spirit of German soldiers is more serious for the concept of hierarchy. Now, hearing that Liang Cheng, Japan and Russia may be interested in the German Republic of China, Shui Piao rose from his seat
Cole nu hum "dare! Which country dares to move the property interests of the German Empire! English is not good either, what’s more, we have a small day in Russia! Mr. Liang can tell Mr. Zhang Jian that if Russia and Japan really dare to wage war, the German Empire will never sit idly by! "
Liu Buchan Shen "Mr. Cole, the Chinese navy chief of the Republic of China is very grateful for your remarks. You can also see that the construction of the Russian-Siberian Railway is stepping up now. Once it is completed and opened to traffic, Russia will be able to transport 200,000 to 300,000 elite troops to the Far East in just one month, and the former military forces in the Far East are afraid that it will be close to 400,000 troops. This is not alarmist. If only Russia can cope, it will be ready to move as it is today. If the two countries join hands again, we will not be able to compete …"
Korifen: "General Liu, don’t worry that the German Empire won’t sit idly by on such an important matter. If the war really happens, once Russia mobilizes the troops on the western front, they will launch a fierce attack on the western front of Russia for the first time. Then we will definitely be unable to hold back our elite army offensive of 200,000 to 300,000 elite troops? We can’t even send 100 thousand troops! I want Daqing Youtian and Fengtian to make an idea to kill us! "
Liu Buchan nodded. "Of course, we have no doubt about the elite combat power of the German Imperial Army. We hope to upgrade our strength as soon as possible. If one day your country faces difficulties, our Republic of China can help us. If it is really difficult for your country to help you buy enough warships, I hope your country can dispatch a group of engineers to help us form an advanced shipyard and build warships by ourselves …"
Corifen replied, "This matter needs to be reported to our German emperor before we can give you a definite answer. General Liu hopes that German emperor can pass your request."
Liang Cheng replied, "Well, then General Liu will wait for news from the cabinet."
Two people left the German legation and went straight to the presidential palace to meet Zhang Yi. After meeting, they reported to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi frowned. "Although it is true that the German navy is not very strong, it really can’t give us too much assistance. Four warships are connected to the United States’ envoy Tian Xiali. They also ask Americans to advocate the spirit of commercial freedom. People think that economic interests are nonsense, so they might as well put the price higher. We will need to purchase warships in the next decade if we buy warships."
Liu Buchan nodded. "I firmly believe that when the Germans come out, let us help some shipbuilding engineers to set up our own shipyards. This is of great benefit to our own research and production of warships. I think our shipyards must be started and we can’t always be strangled by foreign powers!"
Zhang Yi nodded with satisfaction. "Xiang Xiang did the right thing, but it will take us a lot of energy to rebuild from scratch. It should be more convenient to purchase a shipyard directly and then move to Dalian to prepare for our new shipyard!"
Liu Buchan shook his head. "It’s too difficult to build a shipyard. Almost every large shipyard of western powers has a total value of tens of millions of silver. It’s not at all. Now our economic strength can be eaten even if we eat it. * * Every shipyard has thousands of engineers and technicians. It’s impossible to move to Dalian. It’s too difficult and involves a country. Almost a country will agree to have a sale."
Zhang Yi was startled, but he thought of tens of millions of taels of silver. This investment is really too big, and it is impossible for the Republic of China to put all its funds into a shipyard.
Zhang Yi asked, "Brother Xiang, what’s your good idea? If we start a ship factory on our own, it will be too slow to start. I don’t know when it will take us to catch up with the shipyards of the great powers. "
Liu Buchan pondered for a moment. "There is another way. There are some difficulties. I don’t know the final result." Zhang Yi replied, "Although we will go through the details together to see if it can become" Liu Buchan Shen ",then we will acquire Li Zhongtang’s Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration and rely on the current personnel and technical equipment of Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration to realize our shipbuilding capacity leap!"
Chapter five hundred and seventy-seven Acquisition of Jiangnan Manufacturing General
Zhang Yi was shocked and asked, "What?"
Liu Buchan Shen replied, "It means that it is better for you to personally ask Li Zhongtang to buy a famous Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration. After so many years of development, Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration has already possessed a certain technical strength. The engineers and skilled workers are very full. Because of the chaotic management, Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration has a very low efficiency, and the things produced are also expensive. I want you to buy it and introduce advanced western production technology management experience. I think that China Merchants will definitely be completely new in a short time.
Zhang Yi clapped his hands and laughed and praised "Good idea. Old nave will definitely give the greatest support."
Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration is one of the largest modern manufacturing enterprises in the late Qing Dynasty. It is mainly engaged in the manufacturing of guns, ammunition and warships. It is not strong because the ties between the government and the private sector are too chaotic, and the efficiency is low. Once it is transformed by western-style commerce, it has great potential.
Liu Buchan thoughtfully, "But Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration seems to be an official stock, and after all, some people in the court know that the value of Manufacturing General Administration wants to buy it directly …"
Zhang Yixiao "afraid of? The official shares of the whole Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration are only 1.22 million silver, and a large part of them are owned by the old nave people. Now the total assets of the whole Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration are about 3.2 million. This time, we will throw caution to the wind. Not only will Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration and Fuzhou Shipping Bureau buy them together, but we will ask Qiao Yingxia to come over and directly borrow 5.2 million silver from Shengjing Bank, and then allocate 1.2 million silver from the navy. At the same time, we will call on Shengjing businessmen to buy shares, which is absolutely enough! "
Liu Buchan is also excited. The main body of Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration is the shipyard with the greatest value. At the same time, the shipyard will be merged with Fuzhou Shipping Bureau. Then, a powerful military industrial force will be bought as a whole, and then the institution will enter the Fengtian military industrial system. It is absolutely possible to only retain the shipyard and then re-enter high-end talents and advanced technology management to realize the take-off of the navy of the Republic of China in a short time!
Zhang Yi was excited. "Xiang will draft it and ask us to send it to Anhui. Young firewood can also help us swim in an old nave."
Anhui Li Hongzhang’s hometown
Now Zhang Peilun is going to go back to Fengtian in these two days, but Li Hongzhang can’t stand it. After all, old people want to enjoy a happy day. There are not many outstanding talents among Li Hongzhang’s descendants. This is a far cry from Zeng Guofan’s family. Every generation has outstanding talents to support the family, but Li Hongzhang’s sons have little promise. This also means that Li Hongzhang values Zhang Peilun’s place and directly puts his little daughter in distress. Zhang Peilun is more grateful to Li Hongzhang and treats him like his own parents.
Zhang Yi reported to Li Hongzhang’s residence when Zhang Peilun was somewhat worried.
Li Hongzhang opened the Zhang Yi newspaper and handed it to Zhang Peilun, who was lost in thought.
Zhang Peilun was taken aback when she watched the results carefully. She just left Mukden for ten days, but such an important thing has happened again. Zhang Jian really doesn’t stop for a moment
