Chapter 99

Victor has always worked hard, there is no doubt about this. In Lihe Matheson, Victor has now climbed to the position of deputy general manager in China. After the general manager, Victor is the largest in China.

There is no doubt that Victor's position comes from his outstanding work. Due to Victor's efforts, Lihe Company has become the largest European company in terms of exports to China. In more than four years, Victor completed the

The evolution from the lowest-level employee to the deputy general manager is hailed as a legend by today's Shanghai marine industry.

The man who created this legend was currently behind a huge desk, smiling at Victor.

"Boss!" After Victor came in, he took off his top hat and said respectfully. You know, there is also Andreas, the special envoy sent by the German Minister to China Harhausen, waiting outside. This high opinion will have a great influence on Victor's future work.

Domestic reputation has a considerable supporting effect. More importantly, Victor can get huge orders from the boss in front of him every year, as well as a dividend of 3% of the shares of Eurasia Department Store, and

Annual commission of 150,000 silver dollars.

To put it bluntly, no matter how respectful you are to the big boss in front of you, you can't be too respectful.

"How are things going?" Fang Jianxiong sat still. He was no longer what he used to be, and his gestures were becoming more and more majestic.

Victor was not curious at all. A warlord with more than 100,000 troops and divided four provinces was nothing to the powerful Germany, but in the land of China, he was undoubtedly the most powerful in China today.

In terms of population and land area alone, it is already comparable to Germany. There is even a surplus.

China is too big. Before that, Minister Harhausen had had a private conversation with Victor. The content of the conversation was that once Fang Jianxiong gained power in China, with the help of Germany, he would be able to control the military within five years.

To what extent can the power be expanded? After simple mathematical calculations, the Germans came up with an astonishing figure. Putting aside the technical arms, as long as the Chinese have enough financial resources, they can raise at least five million people in five years.

of infantry.

Five million! Thinking about this number makes your scalp numb! Once this Chinese Communist Party, which is hostile to Britain, Japan and Russia, gains power in China and is willing to cooperate with Germany, it will be difficult for the Russians on the Eastern Front to deal with it.

Germany poses too great a threat. Unless the greedy Russians are willing to abandon the Far East.

Let's put it this way. Germany needs a force to contain Russia, a threat on the eastern front. Judging from the current situation, Fang Jianxiong does not have a single choice to rely on Germany, and is still cooperating with the United States. The German cabinet instructed Minister Harhausen.

Make every effort to push this warlord to the position of national leader and win him to join the Allied side.

In both private and public matters, Victor always handles matters assigned by Fang Jianxiong very seriously.

"Please take a look." Victor came forward, took out a piece of material from his bag, and put it on the desk. Fang Jianxiong waved his hand habitually: "If you don't want to read it, just say it." Many times, this means

After this test, Victor, who was used to his boss's style, explained with a smile: "According to your request, I entrusted the head office to make some efforts. The U-shaped submarine you need will be in Jiangnan.

The shipyard has a separate factory for development and production. However, the Germania Shipyard has put forward some requirements. For example, the annual purchase volume must not be less than twelve, and the funds for the development and improvement of submarines must be borne by the boss. Regarding personnel training issues, the German Navy is willing

Accept the trainees sent to Germany by your Excellency. But for now, the size of German submarines is not too large, so there should be no problem in training the personnel."

Victor was somewhat proud. Things were done beautifully this time. According to the original agreement, there was only one submarine research institute on paper. Germany currently does not pay much attention to submarines and is busy building battleships. Fang Jianxiong is willing

There has been some investment in submarines. The Germans are happy to see the results and it can also bring orders to the Germania shipyard.

"What's the price of a submarine? What's the data?" Fang Jianxiong asked again. Victor had done his homework and answered calmly: "420 tons underwater."

450 tons on water

The head is equipped with a torpedo net cutter, with 4 blackhead torpedoes, which cannot be reloaded. The endurance is 12 knots on the surface and 3500 nautical miles of 6 knots underwater.

20 minutes. The price is about 700,000 silver dollars each. Currently, the Germania Shipyard is developing a new type of submarine with a displacement of 750 tons. If you are willing to provide the research and development funds, they are willing to share the technology and help you with training.

Technical staff." Speaking of which,

Victor was a little nervous. This was his personal property. Germany did not pay much attention to submarines, and the shipyards lacked the funds to invest in research and development. I heard that there is a wealthy warlord in China who is probably willing to be the scapegoat. Through connections,

I found Victor and asked him to put in a good word.

Fang Jianxiong was silent, looking down at the materials on the table, unable to conceal his excitement. Submarines are basically sneak attack weapons tailor-made for rising countries like the Chinese Navy. The Germans are actually willing to cooperate in developing the latest model. This is really

What an unexpected surprise. My highest expectation was to have the ability to produce submarines on our own.

When Fang Jianxiong gets excited, he likes to grab something in his hand. At this moment, he is spinning a pencil quickly in his hand, silently calculating how much money is appropriate to invest? If he invests a lot, he is afraid that the Germans will become suspicious. If he invests a small amount, it will work.

I'm worried that this research and development won't keep up.

When Victor saw this, he couldn't help but secretly regret it. The main reason was that the previous increase was too high. Twelve submarines a year, which is a small investment of 10 million yuan. Including base construction and other things, the expenditure is huge. The big boss is sure

It’s hard to accept this. But the words have already been spoken and it’s too difficult to take them back. That would be equivalent to telling the boss that there is something wrong in one’s mind.

"Six ships are purchased every year for personnel training. Is two million yuan a year enough to invest in the research and development of new submarines?" Fang Jianxiong showed a pained expression. Victor was overjoyed when he saw this and quickly said: "This should be

We can talk it over."

"There is another condition: setting up a diesel engine factory in Shanghai."

Submarines are the most powerful counterattack weapons and the most hidden trump cards for countries with weak navies. Fang Jianxiong did not expect submarines to win the sea war, as long as they could cripple one leg of the Japanese.

Satisfied, Victor retreated. Andreas went in and came out with a smile half an hour later... No, it's not safe!" Yin Ruizhi strongly objected to Fang Jianxiong leaving the heavily guarded manufacturing bureau. Wuchang was assassinated

As a lesson learned from the past, it still seems to be a bit of a shame. So Fang Jianxiong proposed to go to the city to see the Eurasian Department Store and see the new look of Shanghai. He immediately encountered strong opposition.

"I will travel in casual clothes and bring enough guards, so there won't be any big problems." Fang Jianxiong insisted with a smile, and Yin Weijun interrupted: "You can ask Mr. Binglin to come, why would Brother Fang take the risk?"

After Tao was assassinated, Zhang Taiyan lived in the Shanghai Public Settlement, where his main occupation was swearing, and he railed against the Tongmenghui in newspapers. If history had not distorted, Zhang Binglin should have gone to the Northeast. In this time and space, Zhang Binglin stayed in the Shanghai Settlement.

As the founders of the Guangfu Society, Zhang Taiyan and Tao Chengzhang had a close friendship and always advanced and retreated together. This person was relatively clean in history and had to find faults. Probably only Liu Shipei wrote to Huang Xing after he could no longer stay in Japan.

The "so-called" whistleblower Zhang Taiyan wrote to Duan Fang, saying that as long as he gave 20,000 yuan, he could give up revolutionary propaganda and go to India to become a monk.

Later generations defended Zhang Taiyan a lot about this matter.

In any case, this will definitely be pulled as a pigtail. It was also used as a nuclear weapon by the Sun-protecting faction in the process of overthrowing the Sun. Anyway, Zhang Taiyan has the words to explain this issue clearly, and he lost a lot of points.

Qian Jibo recorded in "Records of the Restoration of Jiangnan in Xinhai": Binglin was famous for his literature and was the leader of the Guangfu Society, but the scholar was ignorant and ignorant. He could win over people with wisdom and influence. The Guangfu Society had Tao Chengzhang, such as

The Tongmenghui has Huang Xing. Binglin is not as good as Sun Wen's grand plan for the corridor, but it is better to form a chapter than Huang Xing's frivolous attack and many failures. Huang Xing has not yet

He must recommend his heart to Sun Wen, and when he becomes a chapter, he is really devoted to Binglin. Furthermore: the princes who rebelled, each specializes in his own place to form a government, and the orders are not unified. When he becomes a chapter, he is worried that they are scattered and undisciplined, and he says that Binglin wants to unify

Under the title of Tianxia, ​​together with Li Yuanhong, Cheng Dequan, Tang Shouqian, Song Jiaoren, Zhang Qian, and Xiong Xiling, he organized the Federation of the Republic of China and renamed it the United Party.

If the above records are true, then many issues have a basis for speculation in history. The death of Tao Chengzhang has been concluded. So, what about Song Jiaoren on the list? Historically, he died on the street!

Let's put it this way, once the above named people got together, they formed the United Party. Not to mention Chen Qimei's low position in Shanghai, Sun Wen's position as a revolutionary leader was also in danger. So Tao Chengzhang died.

Assassinated in hospital.

These people are not TG, and they do not have the revolutionary spirit to wipe away the blood on their bodies, bury their comrades' bodies, and continue fighting.

After Tao Chengzhang's death, the so-called United Party naturally dispersed, and Zhang Binglin's life was seriously threatened. As the leader of the Liberation Association, Zhang Taiyan, in addition to grief and anger, first wanted to protect himself, so he blasted Chen Qimei and Huang Xing in newspapers.

It also has a purpose. It is to make things bigger and force Chen Qimei not to dare to mess around.

What is the purpose of Fang Jianxiong's meeting with Zhang Taiyan? This is obvious. To win over Zhang Taiyan is likely to get a large number of talents that are urgently needed by the United Autonomous Region. If these people can stand in Fang Jianxiong's camp, it will not only be a human problem, Fang Jianxiong's

The reputation has undoubtedly reached a new height. Therefore, Fang Jianxiong believes that this risk is worth it. Besides, in Shanghai today, Chen Qimei has gone to Beijing, and there is really no one who dares to take Fang Jianxiong's idea.

, please collect it.
