- Chapter 272 Conditions
When the participating troops left Qingdao early after reviewing the performance, Yang Qiu directly named the Sten submachine gun without changing its name, and reached an agreement with Traun to sell 30,000 guns.
600,000 yuan turned into 3 million (1.5 million U.S. dollars). Arms is indeed the most profitable business in the world. Unfortunately, the industrial strength is insufficient. In order not to waste its own equipment, it took two years to put together this batch of Sten. During World War II In the UK, small factories only produce hundreds of thousands a year, and the gap is so huge that even he is a little uninterested. Fortunately, there are technical and conceptual advantages. The more industrial capabilities are improved, the greater the role of data machines. For example, you can now manufacture Sten with a simple structure in advance, and you can grab mortars, m2hb heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, etc. Patent rights, these patents will play a great role when Britain and France fall into quagmire.
correct!
Feng Ru called. After a year of continuous rigorous testing, the upgraded version of the 250-horsepower Hispano-Siza V-type engine was finally completed. Relying on the data machine not only sharply improved the domestic engine manufacturing technology, but also exercised it. With dozens of professional talents, Chongqing and Hanyang will join forces to mass-produce 30 units per month starting from this month. Together with 75-horsepower vehicle engines, the engine factories of the two groups can manufacture 120 units of various gasoline engines per month. , although it is not as large as the thousands of units per month in Europe and the United States, it has finally taken root.
V-type technology must be immediately sent to register a patent. This is a huge cash cow. Star engines and larger horsepower water-cooled engines must also be developed in advance. Although dura aluminum appeared in advance due to expectations, superduralumin also needs to be developed immediately. Although the internal combustion engine has made a breakthrough, small water tube boilers and steam turbines must be strengthened. This will be the only power option for large ships in the next few decades.
Yang Qiu was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice that Cai E frowned. Although he had made five times the profit and the state could get one million in taxes alone, would this batch of guns be sold to Germany in the future? What if it flows into the hands of a third country and threatens itself? And if two brigades with all submachine guns can be formed, the winning rate will be much higher even if Japan comes to fight, right?
His words made Yang Qiu pause, and his expression suddenly became a little bad. It was not because selling submachine guns would cause the spread of threats to him in the future. There were stronger MP40, Somi and ** sand in the data machine, or simply MP5. That's fine, but what worried him was that giving all 30,000 to Germany seemed too strong! I remember that during the Ludendorff Offensive at the end of World War I, the German army almost entered Paris with just 3,000 MP18s. Now I¡¯m giving you 30,000! With Germany's industrial level, it would take less than half a year to double the number of tens of thousands of submachine guns! Plus mortars, grenade launchers and the mg815 heavy machine gun that appeared three years earlier
Can France be able to stop it? !
"It's true that Europe bleeds more. If Paris is gone early like World War II, there's really no place to cry."
When he was in a daze about what to do if the firepower was too strong and Paris fell and France surrendered, Cai Gongshi suddenly came over: "Vice President, Foreign Minister Wu and the US Commercial Counselor Mr. Hangel are here."
Why did they come together?
Yang Qiu was stunned. The two of them had already walked over. After seeing him, Wu Tingfang immediately expressed her bitterness: "Vice President, you why didn't you say hello!"
There was a hint of anger in Wu Tingfang's tone. He was indeed very angry this time. Yang Qiu did not even say hello to the cabinet and parliament for such a big thing as holding a Sino-German military exercise. As a result, it was not until the exercise started that Britain, France and other countries issued diplomatic protests. Only then did he, the foreign minister, know that his army was conducting exercises in Qingdao.
What a big deal this is!
Wu Tingfang, who once served as ambassador to the United States, knows very well what it means for the two countries to conduct military exercises, especially at this extremely sensitive moment. Isn't this meant to attract the attention of Britain, France and other countries? So after learning the news, Nanjing was completely in chaos in the past two days. , the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received more questions and accusations every day than in previous years. The United Kingdom even stated that it would reconsider the legitimacy of the Republic of China government, and Japan even openly issued a war threat on the grounds that the exercise would undermine the stability of the Far East!
Wu Tingfang became more and more angry as he talked: "It has been almost a year since the Vice President came to Nanjing to take office. Tingfang has turned a blind eye to other matters, but it involves exchanges between the two militaries. Isn't it child's play? You always need to say hello to other countries first." That's fine, but you are acting arbitrarily. Now there are rumors everywhere that our country will form an alliance with Germany, which has already caused extremely serious consequences. If it really gets out of control, what will we, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, do?"
This old man is really angry. The old grievances of the Democratic Party have not been resolved. Henan has once again carried out land reform arbitrarily, which has made people in all provinces panic. Fortunately, each province has the right to self-determination, so the blame has been put on the Henan Provincial Government and Parliament. Living in various places, I didn¡¯t expect that this matter was not completely over yet, and I started military exercises again without telling Congress and the cabinet! The Republic of China has almost become a family, and there is no way it looks like a republic at all.
Faced with the accusation, Yang Qiu looked calm and glanced at the man next to him.Er asked: "Where did Foreign Minister Wu hear the rumors? When did I want to form an alliance with Germany? What's more, our country pursues independent foreign policy principles, and the livelihood of 40 million people is in question, so what energy does it have to form an alliance?" It's just a very ordinary military exercise. The elite German army is known to the world. I just want the army to learn more from others and not feel that my boss is encouraging bad trends all day long. How can it be a child's play?! Could it be that I The military needs approval from outsiders to conduct deployment exercises on its own soil! Foreign Minister Wu, you are also a veteran diplomat. Did you also explain this to Japan when you signed the commercial agreement with Mexico?
This is China, and what¡¯s under my feet is mine! your! Forty million citizens! The land of the Chinese nation! Previously, it was clearly stated in the Constitution of the Republic of China that as long as it does not involve the country's foreign operations, does not interfere with national stability, conducts irregular military operations, etc., the Ministry of National Defense has the right to self-determination to mobilize the military. If Foreign Minister Wu feels that our company is friendly with our country, The country cannot issue orders to conduct military exercises and learn from the experience of the world's strongest militaries, so simplyI won't be the vice president anymore. Whoever wants to be in charge of the Ministry of National Defense can go. "
"At the end of these few words, Wu Tingfang lost all face, and his face turned blue and white. Indeed, as long as it does not involve diplomatic alliances or going overseas, the Ministry of National Defense has no obligation to notify the cabinet and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before conducting non-military operations on its own soil.
Wu Tingfang never thought that coming to question him would definitely lead to Yang Qiu's resignation. Although this young man showed signs of being arbitrary, his heart for the country must be recognized by him. Since taking power in the southwest, he has pushed for tax reform, reduced rents and interest rates, suppressed landlords and bullies, built the southwest railway trunk road, built three of the Far East's most prominent industrial groups and shipbuilding companies from scratch, etc., each and every one of them has not benefited the country and the people. ?
Sometimes I think about it, if the Democratic Party is in power, it might not be as good as him.
He spent the first half of his life looking for a way to save and strengthen the country. After he became the minister to the United States, he felt the importance of national stability and industrial and commercial construction. Now he has slowly begun to adjust, using glorious or dishonorable means to embark on the previous path. There was nothing left to be picky about the path he wanted to take.
Thinking of this, Wu Tingfang sighed deeply and suddenly felt a little old.
Cai E didn't understand what he was thinking, and was afraid that the dispute between the two would be difficult to deal with, so he quickly pulled him aside to explain the military exercise.
Hangel could understand some Chinese, and even if he didn't understand, he could still guess what the two were arguing about. After seeing Wu Tingfang and Cai E walking away, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Although your Excellency, the Vice President, only had an ordinary conversation, military exercises, but don¡¯t you think it¡¯s too sensitive at this moment?¡±
"Sensitive?" Yang Qiu shook his finger: "This is not Europe. The stability of the Far East will not be destroyed by an exercise, unless of course someone deliberately wants to expand the incident."
Hangel was noncommittal about this statement. Although he was right in what he just said, there is indeed no need to inform a third party in advance of conducting military exercises on one's own territory, but China is not yet a complete independent country, and the government of the Republic of China has not received any recognition. So this kind of exercise is already challenging. Taking a step back, even though he had no intention of forming an alliance, Germany took it seriously and regarded this military exercise as an opportunity to break through Sino-German relations. Wilhelm II even invited Rhine, who had been idle at home for a long time. Prince Hart came to work as a lobbyist. This kind of treatment is probably second only to its two important allies, Austria-Hungary and the Ottomans.
That's why Britain, France and other countries are so nervous, and even the United States is beginning to worry. With strong German industrial support, Yang Qiu can completely get rid of dependence on the United States, and the security of the United States' previous investments in China will also be in danger, so Dou Mai Only then will Your Excellency Le agree to contact Britain and France to find out the true meaning behind this exercise.
Yang Qiu laughed: "Actually, forming an alliance is really a good choice. After the Anglo-Japanese alliance, Japan's domestic construction has developed rapidly, and its industrial capabilities have continued to leap forward. Since they can ally with Britain, why can't I ally with Germany? The Franco-Prussian War The rise of the post-Second Empire is very worthy of reference for our country.¡±
These words made Hangel frown. Does he really want to form an alliance with Germany? In fact, this makes sense. Now, except for the navy, Germany has already surpassed the United Kingdom in all aspects. As a country that has suffered from colonization and nearly half of the country's tariffs are still controlled by the United Kingdom, it is undoubtedly very important to join forces with a country more powerful than the United Kingdom. Good choice. But the problem is that once the European war breaks out and Germany cannot take care of Asia, this alliance will become a formality. Instead, it will push China into the whirlpool of British and Japanese retaliation.
Doesn¡¯t he know?
Hangel didn't believe it, glanced at Yang Qiu and said: "Your Excellency, Vice President, as a friend, I think it is necessary for me to remind you that the situation in Europe is very tense now. At this timeanyone playing with fire may lead to very serious consequences." as a result of!"
?"Thank you for the reminder. You are a true friend of our country." Yang Qiu nodded and continued: "I know that you came here today on behalf of someone else. Since you are here, let's go to Beijing together."
"Are you going to Beijing?" Hangel was a little surprised. He didn't expect that even though he knew that there were endless criticisms from Beijing, he would actually go up against it.
Yang Qiu did not explain. After getting in the car, he glanced at Qingdao, which was fading away outside the window, and suddenly said: "Your Excellency Hangel, you said that if one day our country can take back this place and build it into a Sino-US International Trade Zone, we should How good is it?¡±
