2506 Break the blockade

"Dear Mr. Krupp, your vision should be taken a little longer, and don't just focus on the temporary international situation."

The world situation is vast and turbulent as the sea tide. The waves are turbulent and changing.

Someone once said that the only thing that remains unchanged in this world is the change. Perhaps Prussia and Britain are currently in their honeymoon period, and you can maintain a very friendly diplomatic relationship.

But who can guarantee a future in 20 years, 30 years, or even further?

You are actually very clear that the rise of the Kingdom of Prussia and fighting the French-Prussian War is just the first step in the long journey!

Once the German Empire is unified and merged in the future, it will be destined to cause your national fortune that has been suppressed for hundreds of years to burst out!

By that time, Germany's strong scientific research capabilities will definitely impact the limit of industrial production efficiency in human society!

All countries will be stunned by your strong productivity!

Huge productivity will naturally cause a large number of industrial products to leave the factory. How can you find a new market at that time? Will it rely on the digestion of your domestic European market? This is simply impossible.

Only by going overseas and selling to the whole world, and at that time, you will find that the so-called friendship between you and the United Kingdom is so fragile!

The treasure pot of marine trade is originally a private place for the British. All the golden routes and the richest colonies are under their control. Will they allow you to get a share? Think about it carefully, dear sir!

At that time, you will face the most tragic business competition with the UK. At the beginning, both sides may tolerate it, but the longer the time goes on, the deeper the conflicts and grievances will become. In the end, all kinds of real conflicts will definitely occur after both sides cannot bear it.

The trade embargo is actually a preview of the war. Do you Prussian goods want to transport them to the whole world through the Golden Sea Road controlled by the British, as well as various straits and canals?

Haha, you can wait! What awaits you at that time will be endless investigations, even more harsh tariffs, and even direct military interception!

I would like to ask, if we, the Krupp cannons, cannot be transported to Asia, will you compensate for this loss?

Can we state one thing in the contract that once you cannot ship the goods to the destination to complete the transaction, can you add three times or even ten times the compensation?

Do you dare to make such a promise?

This is the second key point I mentioned. If the first key point is that I made it from the perspective of you businessmen and from the changes in business models.

Then the second key point is that I will make a keen judgment on the future development direction of the international community from the perspective of a politician.

There is only one way to break this situation, which is to break through the British maritime blockade and turn your capital into swords and penetrate the global territory.

Capital is not afraid of blockades! Even if Britain's maritime power is extremely strong, their control over the vast inland areas is still very weak.

Avoiding the real and attacking the virtual is the essence of Chinese military strategy! Do you have to fight with the British? Have they occupied hundreds of years of maritime interests?

Can't we change our thinking, take a different approach, and re-plan the source of Prussia's wealth?

Could it be that the vast inland is really a desert of wealth, and it is really impossible to do a great career?

Think about it carefully, Mr. Krupp, don’t use your traditional, old and narrow thinking to look at the new world. The future world changes are unimaginable!

Krupp was so cold that he was sweating in a cold sweat when Xiao Letian said that. After all, he was a businessman. He did not have as profound historical vision as Xiao Letian, and he could not analyze problems from multiple perspectives such as politics and economy.

To be honest, Krupp is just a businessman who can make guns and cannons, while Xiao Letian is a national strategist and a prophet who can understand the direction of history. He can know what changes will happen in the future, and he can better know how to deal with it.

Krupp had no arrogance just now. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He said in a trembling voice, "Dear Head, I don't know how to answer you. The amount of information you gave just now is too large. I need time to think about it..."

"But please remember that the Krupp cannon was condensed by the efforts of generations of our family. Its technical content is the world's leading. Even if I agree to establish a branch in Asia, will the Kingdom of Prussia agree? Will our government allow such a business to continue? This is all unknown..."

It was the last moment, and Krupp still wanted to struggle to death, but he was still reluctant to share their technology with the Chinese. In his eyes, his technology is the most precious in the world, and no country can ever obtain it for nothing.

Chu... Xiao Letian smiled disdainfully, "The pattern! This is the pattern! Mr. Krupp, your performance today really disappointed me. I didn't expect that your pattern was so small."

I can't bear to take out that little technology, because do you think that little technology is 100 years ahead of the human world? Are you really that arrogant?

There is never a lack of smart brains in this world. Don’t think that only you can find the answer to the problem! Have scientists from other countries been having a free meal over the years?

Let me tell you the truth. Once your technical advantages are exposed in the war, I think it will be cracked by other countries in less than three years.

Three years! Maybe I say that three years are a long time. For Britain and the United States, one year is enough! As long as they can see a physical cannon on the battlefield, they can copy it in the reverse direction through photos and hand-drawn pictures.

In just a few short years, how can you convert this little advantage of technological leadership into the actual interests of your company?

God! You must know that a large arsenal or steel factory will have a construction period of more than three years!

Maybe just as you are working hard to expand your production capacity, the arsenals in other countries have already begun to compete for your orders. Do you really think you can always stand at the forefront? That's a joke!

Krupp made Xiao Letian blush and his neck thick, and he stammered his neck and retorted, "Even if our technology is cracked by the British and Americans, it will not be cracked by you Chinese!"

"I dare to assert that the British and Americans will not share technology with you. By that time, we Europe will still be at the top of the technology tree!"

"So, please be kind to you, the Head of State! You are begging us now! You need our skills now, please don't put the cart before the horse!"

"Oh? You have a very strong temper, and you're not sure? Very good, Mr. Krupp, since you are so arrogant, I can give you a solid foundation..."

Xiao Letian said contemptuously, "We can still do this technology that you are leading in our Chinese University's laboratory in less than three years!"
Chapter completed!
