300 In-depth cooperation

Until today, Xiao Letian finally understood that time travelers are not omnipotent. Their golden fingers can affect ordinary people, but when they face those famous figures in history, especially those legendary figures who can change a nation or even the world, the so-called time travelers halo is nothing.

In this era, two people who could shock Xiao Letian's soul met in total, one was Zeng Guofan, the leader of the Hunan Army. His hidden dragon theory made Xiao Letian stunned.

Today, the confrontation between Besmai and Xiao Letian made him find the awe-inspiring feeling he had when facing Zeng Guofan. This can be said to be the pressure of the aura of a great man. Although the time traveler's aura can withstand one or two, it is just a little bit of it.

Most of the time, these great men who really existed in history have already ruthlessly crushed Xiao Letian, an intruder, and have already won the momentum.

"Heroes, a country, a nation, and even an era, need heroes. Only heroes can save selfish and in-fighting humans..."

"Yes, human beings have never been a united group. They are selfish, they fight each other, they are very arrogant, they are arrogant... We can use any negative words to describe these people, but unfortunately these people form our society... " "Pull open the window and look at this bustling street. You Chinese people have said an old saying is too true. The bustling world is for profit, and the bustling world is for profit. Ordinary people will only stare at the steak in front of them in a short-sighted manner, and will not think about how the steak of a country and nation should be supplied..."

Beismai sighed, "When the entire nation is trapped in serious internal friction, let alone rising, it is probably difficult to protect itself. Foreign enemies can easily provoke civil strife. When others develop thousands of miles a day, civil strife will retreat..."

"This is the reality, the reality encountered by the Prussian nation before! It's a pity that the Chinese have also encountered this problem. Now every second you delay, it is a second of rapid development of other nations. Time is as precious as gold!"

At this time, Beismai no longer had the aura of the iron-blooded prime minister. At the moment when Xiao Letian lost his composure, he had become a kind elder next door.

Xiao Letian didn't say anything, raised his head and killed a large glass of beer, which was half a liter. He could not take over the words of Pismai at all, and the heavy topics made him speechless.

Beismai looked at Xiao Letian and said softly, "If a country and a nation want to revive, it is not only about improving science and technology and developing the army, but more importantly, it is about integrating all domestic resources and eliminating internal consumption first. And this arduous task requires heroes, not bears..."

"I think you should have heard some rumors and stories about me. When I was young, I was studying at the University of Berlin and had fought 27 times with people. When I was training the farmer of my own manor to join Berlin to pay tribute to the king, I almost supported a new king..."

"My youth was extremely aggressive. On the one hand, it was my personality, and on the other hand, it was my understanding of politics... Do you know? Humans always worship the strong. God gives everyone a different personality. If you have studied Darwin's works, you will understand that the animals' ethnic groups are all gathered together by relying on the strong..."

"Yes, I am indeed the Iron-blooded Prime Minister of Prussia. I don't even allow civil servants to meet the king alone. What I show in front of the whole Europeans is absolute strength. But I have my helplessness..."

"If I were a weak person, how could I shock the ambitious people in China? How could the reforms I implemented continue? The endless internal friction can only slow down the pace of German revival... Oh, I remember you just said a noun, the first industrial revolution? I don't know how you summed up such a word, but I think what you said makes sense..."

"The rise of Britain was to catch up with the first industrial train. Their powerful Royal Navy was just a manifestation. What really made Britain stronger was their industrial production capacity. If there were no large amount of cheap industrial products to make gold and silver around the world, would you think Britain could become an empire that never sets?"

"But now, the technological development of human society has changed a lot. Starting from the American Civil War alone, many emerging technologies have made us admire them, telegraph technology, railway network, hot air balloons, armored warships... I firmly believe that these new military technologies will definitely be transformed into a country's productivity, and our factories will benefit from it immediately..."

"The world is undergoing tremendous changes, but ordinary people know nothing. At this time, we are the leaders who lead the way. So I would rather build myself into an unreasonable iron-bearded prime minister than let the ignorant and short-sighted people delay the rise of the German nation..."

Xiao Letian was completely speechless. This is the real Besmai in history. Iron blood is not his nature. His tough appearance is just a means to integrate resources. This is the real politician. Without his skills, how could Prussia win three battles?

Xiao Letian pondered for a long time and was speechless, and Bismai also gave him time to think. After two glasses of beer were eaten, Xiao Letian spoke, "Okay, you convinced me, let's talk about your conditions. I think you are here today not just for drinking?"

"Well, you're very honest. This is the basis for our cooperation..." Bismey rubbed his beard and said with a smile. "Germany needs a market, a very large market. We can't compare to Britain. We don't have so many overseas colonies. But after the war, Germany's capital needs the market to dump..."

"As far as I know, the industrialization of the Qing Dynasty has not been completed until now, and domestic goods are still at the level of handicraft workshops. A large amount of wealth has been earned by Britain and France. However, even if they are allowed to make money openly, it is just a drop in the huge wealth of China..."

"Think about it, I give you the greatest support. The cooperation between us can be carried out in depth. Do you want military exchanges? Do you want the latest lathe? Do you need our university to open the school gate? Not only that, I can also provide you with political support and make you a recognized politician in international law..."

"And all I want is that the Qing Dynasty opened the country's doors for us so that our German merchants could enter. How about this transaction? I think it's fair..."

Xiao Letian was moved. He finally knew that in this era, not every European country wanted to go to war with China, and not all the great powers wanted to gain wealth through unequal treaties.

In this era, it was still a very difficult thing for Europe to send troops to China. No one expected to occupy China's territory, except for the Russian bear. Even Britain occupied Hong Kong in the name of lease, and it did not say that it would be occupied forever.

The proposal of Bismer is too reasonable. On the surface, Germans can indeed earn real money from Chinese through business activities, but this is a major trend that cannot be changed at all. Britain and France make your money, but they don’t say anything to give you any rewards. Germany at least has to give you a political level, and even technological and military communication.

If Xiao Letian disagrees, he is a fool. However, considering the diplomatic practices, he has to be a little reserved and pretend to hesitate, which is also a routine in negotiations.

"Oh, Prime Minister, you really hit my weakness. It seems that you know very well what we need... Well, before I promise you the conditions, I would like to emphasize one more thing, in the upcoming Pakatan Harapan War, I hope my officers will join the war..."

When Bisme heard this, his brows were locked tightly. He thought for a while and said, "I really don't know why you are sure that we will have a war with Austria. Although our relationship is a little nervous now... In this way, I can give you a compromise promise. If a war breaks out, I will allow you to watch the battle, but I will not allow you to shoot. This is my bottom line..."

"Dear Xiao, don't you want these young men to have a good rest? In the conflict with the French, you have lost a lot of talents, so why continue to sacrifice?"

Alas... Xiao Letian sighed in his heart, "Sacrifice? How is it possible to have no sacrifice for a nation's rejuvenation? Well, I accept your conditions. We watch the battle close but do not participate in the war. This is a condition that cannot be discounted. You must know that my young men need to exercise. There are too many lessons that we need to make up for in China..."

"Very good, deal..." Bisme picked up the wine glass "Cheers for the smooth cooperation between our two nations!"

The subsequent negotiations went much smoother. Prussia opened its doors to accept Chinese students. As long as the Sino-German Foundation provided the money, it would be open to collect.

Regarding military technology, the Prussian government has not hidden privately. The Prussian government allowed the Nobel Plant and Mauser rifles to build factories in Ryukyu. Even the iron-armored warships that may be built in the future have reached a preliminary cooperation intention.

Xiao Letian looked very calm on the surface, but he was already happy inside. He knew that the German nation was very strange. For example, although their navy was very weak now, their technology was not weaker than that of Britain.

Historically, the naval battle between Germany and Britain was not a failure due to ship performance at all. The failure of the Germans was entirely due to unique geographical conditions and pure quantity consumption.

As long as the German factory started construction and as long as Xiao Letian could receive strong support from the German government, the powerful Ryukyu Navy would not be a dream at all.

Xiao Letian became more and more excited the more he thought about it. The German Bersmai, Schánhorst, and German submarines like wolves were all the military weapons that Xiao Letian dreamed of.

Well, this is a bit too far-fetched. These are weapons during World War II, but the scars in the hearts of every China, Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, were also made in Germany, and the industrial level of this country will never disappoint.

After four hours of negotiations, I had a simple lunch in the garden. Even Hu Niu and the others made a few special Chinese side dishes, and they couldn't help but pick their thumbs up.

Women's craftsmanship is not for nothing. When Beismai left the garden, Xiao Letian had already obtained a note written by the iron-blooded prime minister. With this note, Xiao Letian could go to Volkeng Shipyard to join the line to buy four fly-scissors.

"It's great. With these new ships, it's hard not to get rich. Although this trip to Europe has shed a lot of blood, it has finally been rewarded!"
