Chapter 272 Conditions

@@@@@

After reviewing the early departure of the participating troops from Qingdao, Yang Qiu did not even change his name and directly named the Stearn submachine gun, and reached an agreement with Traun to sell 30,000 units ().

600,000 yuan became 3 million (1.5 million US dollars), arms is indeed the most profitable business in the world, but it is a pity that the industrial strength is not enough, in order not to delay its own equipment, it took two years to make up this batch of Stern, during World War II, Britain relied on small factories to hundreds of thousands a year, and the gap was so large that he was a little unhappy. Fortunately, there are technical concept advantages, and the more the industrial capacity is perfected, the greater the role of the data machine, for example, it is now possible to manufacture a simple structure of the Stern in advance, and it can grab the patent rights of mortars, M2HB heavy machine guns, grenadiers, etc., and these patents will play a great role when Britain and France fall into the quagmire.

That's right!

Feng Ru called, after a year of uninterrupted rigorous testing, the 250 horsepower Espano-Siza V engine upgrade version was finally completed, relying on the data machine not only to force the domestic engine manufacturing technology to a higher level, but also to train dozens of professionals, from this month Chongqing and Hanyang will join forces to mass produce at a rate of 30 units per month, plus 75 horsepower vehicle engines, the engine factories of the two groups can manufacture 120 gasoline engines per month, although not as large as the scale of thousands of units in Europe and the United States in January, But it finally took root.

V-type technology must be immediately sent to register a patent, which is a huge cash cow, star engines and higher horsepower water-cooled engines must also be developed in advance, although Dura aluminum appeared in anticipation of advance, but superduralumin also needs to be developed immediately, although the internal combustion engine has broken through, but small water-tube boilers and steam turbines must also be strengthened, which is the only power option for large ships in the next few decades ().

Yang Qiu thought about it and didn't notice that Cai Yi frowned a little, although he earned a full five times the profit, and the tax country alone could get one million, but after this batch of guns was sold to Germany, would it go into the hands of a third country in the future and threaten himself? And if you can form two brigades with all submachine guns, even if Japan comes to fight, the chance of victory will be much higher, right?

His words made Yang Qiu pause, and his face suddenly became a little bad, not because the sale of submachine guns would lead to the spread of threats to himself in the future, there were stronger mp40 in the data machine, Suomi and ** sand, or simply mp5, what worried him was that 30,000 to Germany seemed too strong! I remember that in the Ludendorff offensive at the last moment of World War I, the German army almost entered Paris with 3,000 mp18, and now I give 30,000 at once! With the industrial level of Germany, it will be possible to double tens of thousands of submachine guns in less than half a year! Add mortars, grenadiers and MG8/15 heavy machine guns, which appeared three years earlier.

Can France stop it?!

It's right to shed more blood in Europe, if Paris is gone early like World War II, there is no place to cry.

When he was in a daze, what to do if the firepower was too fierce and caused Paris to fall and France surrendered, Cai Gongshi suddenly walked over: "Vice President, Foreign Minister Wu and Mr. Hunger, the U.S. Commercial Counselor, are here. ”

How did they come together?

Yang Qiu was stunned, the two had already walked over, and after seeing him, Wu Tingfang immediately poured bitter water: "Vice President, why don't you say hello!" ”

Wu Tingfang's tone was a little angry, this time he was really angry, Yang Qiu didn't even say hello to the cabinet and Congress for such a big thing as holding a Sino-German military exercise, which led to the fact that it was not until the exercise began that Britain, France and other countries issued diplomatic protests, and he, the foreign minister, did not know that his army was conducting exercises in Qingdao.

What a big deal!

Wu Tingfang, who has been 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, this is not deliberately to provoke the attention of Britain and France and other countries, so after learning the news, Nanjing has been completely chaotic in the past two days, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received more questions and reproaches every day than in previous years, and Britain even said that it would reconsider the legitimacy of the Republic of China government, and Japan even issued a threat of war on the grounds that the exercise undermined the stability of the Far East ()!

The more Wu Tingfang said, the more angry he became: "It's been almost a year since the vice president came to Nanjing to take office, and Tingfang has turned a blind eye to other things, but when it comes to exchanges between the two armies, it's child's play, you always need to say hello to other countries first, but you are acting alone, and now it's rumored everywhere that our country wants to form an alliance with Germany, which has caused extremely serious consequences, if it's really out of control, what do you want our Ministry of Foreign Affairs to do?" ”

This old man is really angry, the old grievances of the Kuomintang have not been settled, and Henan has carried out land reform in an arbitrary manner, which has made the people in all provinces panic, but fortunately, all provinces have the right to self-determination, so they passed the buck to the head of the Henan Provincial Government and the parliament to gradually stabilize the localities, but I didn't expect that before the matter was completely over, he started military exercises without telling the parliament and the cabinet! The Republic of China is about to become a family, and there is no republican appearance.

Facing the accusation, Yang Qiu's expression was faint, and he glanced at Hanger next to him and asked, "Where did Foreign Minister Wu hear the rumors?" When am I going to form an alliance with Germany? What's more, China pursues an independent diplomatic norm, and the livelihood of 40,000 people is in question, so what energy is there to forge an alliance? It's just a very ordinary military exercise, the elite of the German army is well known to the world, and I just want the army to learn more from others, and don't feel that my boss has helped the bad wind all day long, how can it become child's play?! Could it be that our army needs the approval of outsiders to carry out deployment exercises on its own territory? Foreign Minister Wu, you are also a veteran diplomat, did you also explain this to Japan when you signed a commercial agreement with Mexico?

This is China, and my feet are mine! Yours! 40,000,000 people! The land of the Chinese nation! In the previous Republic of China Constitution, it was clearly written that as long as it does not involve the country's foreign wars, does not interfere with national stability, and conducts irregular military operations, the Ministry of National Defense has the right to self-determination to mobilize the army. ”

In the end, these few words didn't give Wu Tingfang any face, and his face turned blue and white for a while. Indeed, as long as there is no diplomatic alliance involved, and there is no obligation to notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when conducting non-military operations on one's own territory, the Ministry of Defense is not obliged to notify the Cabinet and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in advance ().

Wu Tingfang never thought that he would come to scold, which would lead to Yang Qiu's resignation, although this young man showed signs of acting arbitrarily, but even he had to admit that he was for the country. Starting from ruling the southwest, forcibly pushing tax reform, reducing rents and interest rates, suppressing landlords and bullies, building the southwest railway trunk road, and building three industrial groups and shipbuilding companies in the Far East from scratch, etc., one thing after another is not beneficial to the country and the people?

Sometimes I think that if the KMT is in power, it may not be as good as him.

He spent the first half of his life looking for a way to save the country and strengthen the country, and after serving as minister to the United States, he felt the importance of national stability and industrial and commercial construction.

Thinking of this, Wu Tingfang sighed deeply, and suddenly felt a little old.

Cai Ye didn't understand his thoughts, and was afraid that the two of them would be stiff and difficult to clean up, so he hurriedly pulled him aside to explain the military exercise.

Hanger can understand some Chinese, even if he doesn't understand this moment, he can guess what the two are arguing about, and after seeing Wu Tingfang and Cai Gong walking away, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Although Your Excellency the Vice President has only conducted an ordinary military exercise, don't you feel too sensitive at this moment?" ”

"Sensitive?" Yang Qiu shook his finger: "This is not Europe, and the stability of the Far East will not be destroyed by an exercise, unless someone deliberately wants to expand the incident, of course." ”

Hangel was noncommittal about this statement, although he was right, there is indeed no need to inform a third party in advance of military exercises on his 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 has already taken on a provocative meaning. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if he had no intention of forming an alliance, Germany took it seriously, and saw this military exercise as an opportunity to break through Sino-German relations, and Wilhelm II even invited Prince Reinhardt, who had been idle at home for a long time, to be a lobbyist, a treatment that is probably second only to its two important allies, Austria-Hungary and Ottoman.

That's why Britain and France and other countries are so nervous, and even the United States is beginning to worry that with the strong support of German industry, Yang Qiu will be able to completely get rid of his dependence on the United States, and the security of the United States' previous investment in China will also be in danger, so His Excellency Dou Meile will agree to contact Britain and France to find out the true meaning behind this exercise.

Yang Qiu smiled: "Actually, the alliance is really a good choice, after the Anglo-Japanese alliance, Japan's domestic construction has developed rapidly, and its industrial capacity has continued to leap forward, since they can find Britain to form an alliance, why can't I ally with Germany?" The path of the rise of the Second Reich after the Franco-Prussian War is very worthy of reference for our country. ”

These words made Hanger frown, did he really want to form an alliance with Germany? In fact, this also makes sense, in addition to the navy, Germany's strength has long surpassed Britain, as a country that has suffered from colonization and has been controlled by Britain for nearly half of the country's tariffs, it is undoubtedly a very good choice to join forces with a stronger country than Britain. But the problem is that once a war breaks out in Europe and Germany is unable to take care of Asia, this alliance will become a formality, and will instead push China into the vortex of British and Japanese revenge.

Don't he know?

Hanger 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, and any playing with fire at this time may lead to very serious consequences!" ”

"Thank you for the reminder, you are a true friend of our country." Yang Qiu nodded and continued: "I know that Your Excellency came here today because of someone else's entrustment, since you are here, you might as well go to Beijing together." ”

"You're going to Beijing?" Hanger was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that he would rise head-on knowing that Beijing's criticism was endless.

Yang Qiu didn't explain, after getting in the car, he looked at Qingdao in the distance outside the window, and suddenly a sentence came out: "Your Excellency Hangel, you said that if one day my country can take back this place and build it into a special international trade zone between China and the United States, how good would it be?" ”
