Chapter 13: A Powerful Woman
Two hours later, in a private room in a luxury hotel, "You said very well, Xu refused to give up his battle pistol program. Leo said to Julia as he walked into the room.
"I'd love to know how you're sure the teacher won't give up this pistol? This gun is not liked by anyone in Europe now. He's too stubborn. Vino also said with some complaints. Although he is dissatisfied with Xu Jie, it is inconvenient to complain too much about his teacher in front of a lady.
"Do you think it was a mistake on his part?" Julia smiled.
"Isn't it? Isn't it a mistake to produce such a weapon that no one wants? Entrusted Leo said depressedly.
"Just because Europeans don't like it doesn't mean Asians don't like it." Julia sneered.
"Sell to Asians? Don't do a big order from Europe, specifically design a pistol for Asians? What is his purpose? Vino snorted disdainfully.
"He's going back to that faraway Far Eastern country, that's his hometown, and everything he does is for this purpose." Julia said sternly.
"Back to the Qing Kingdom? As an excellent ship designer, what development can Hui Qing Guo have? His purpose? Leo asked.
"Why did he help you design that **-class dome cruiser?" Julia asked.
'I saved him and he needs money, he needs results to prove himself so he can establish himself in Europe.' Leo replied.
"Well, yes, and then what? Why did he design an 8000-ton armored cruiser? Julia continued.
"Is that a problem?" Entrusted Leo to pout.
"Of course, if it's just for the money, he can get enough profit from the **-class dome cruiser." Julia continued to inspire.
"With this 8,000-ton warship, he can fully gain a foothold in the Italian shipbuilding community." Leo thought about it and said.
"Italy? With the **-class dome cruiser, he could quite well gain a foothold in the European shipbuilding community. France and England are better suited to his play than Italy. Julia said with a smile.
"Then why did he choose Italy?" Vino asked.
"France? I just fought with Qing Guo a few years ago. United Kingdom? I am raising the neighbor of the Great Seiongkoku, Japan. He could not guarantee that his designs would not be used on the Japanese. Julia said with a stern expression.
"Would Xu have given up cooperation with Britain in the shipbuilding industry because Britain supported Japan? The reason for this is amazing. Vino laughed.
"You're right, it seems that Xu hates the country called Japan. He refused to use any technology of the **-class warships on the Japanese, and was quite concerned about the development of the Japanese Navy. Leo seemed to have suddenly figured out something.
"What did he do when he returned to Qingguo? Do you still want Beiyang to buy Italian warships to fight against Japan? The cost of an 8,000-ton patrol is higher than the cost of Dingzhen, the largest town in the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, the Qing State did not buy even a single shell from Italy. Vino sneered.
"Isn't it ridiculous? At that time, Garibaldi was facing the threat of war from the Bourbons of France, and only 1,000 men went to attack the Kingdom of Silesia. Isn't that even more ridiculous? Julia sneered.
"And what should we do with the teacher?" Vino asked.
"If Beiyang can order warships from Italy, I think it will be very beneficial to us, and no one will be able to get along with money." Entrust Leo to wave his hand.
"But sooner or later he'll have to go back." Vino pouted.
"Only when he goes back can he order our warships, and I think the Italian government wants to do business with that huge country in the Far East." Leo said.
"Whether or not he can convince Beiyang to order Italian weapons, it will not hurt us, if it succeeds, we can earn silver from the Qing State. If he fails, I think we can continue to run the design bureau with him. Entrusted Leo said with a smile.
"That's right, you're right, we can continue to have in-depth cooperation with him, and if he wants to speak in Qingguo, he still needs our help." Julia smiled. "By the way, I think his combat rifle could be used in your Sicilian hometown. Xu is right, it is definitely a street fighting weapon. Julia said meaningfully.
