Chapter 262

Soon Alice came out with an unhappy look on her face. When she saw the two people in the reception room, she smiled at Ryans. When Ryans stood up proudly and straightened his clothes, Alice made a hand-spreading expression.

, turned to Kant and said: "Mr. Kant, please come with me." Ryans was instantly petrified. After Kant reacted, he glanced at Ryans proudly, straightened his back, straightened his clothes, and followed Alli

Behind the silk.

What is this? Could it be said that the French have spent a lot of money? According to Ryans’ understanding of Fang Jianxiong, this can only be the case. This guy who is unscrupulous for profit has always been like this. It seems that things are not as expected.

So simple? The Republic of China government said it was a democratic government, but in essence it was a communist government. Wasn’t it the communists who had the final say? Fang Jianxiong must be prevented from turning to Britain and France, which would have a huge negative impact on the global strategy of the United States of America.

Influence.

Despite the happy cooperation between China and the United States before, the United States was really unsure when facing the traditional powers Britain and France. Especially after the outbreak of World War I, the military industrial capabilities of Britain and France were far stronger than that of the United States, the largest industrial power. It is quite embarrassing to say that.

, such a strong industrial country as the United States, the current annual output of rifles is only 25. This is because Fang Jianxiong placed an order in advance, giving American firearms dealers an opportunity to develop production capacity in advance. Even so, the rifles ordered by China still require

It will take four years to deliver everything.

Fang Jianxiong's enthusiasm for developing industry has reached the point of paranoia. It seems that the only way to address this problem is to prescribe the right medicine. Given China's current situation, even if funds are provided for technology, if there is no one to absorb and digest these technologies, it will be in vain.

When Kant entered the study, Fang Jianxiong was lying on the table looking at a map. When he saw Kant coming in, he said: "The Battle of the Somme should be regarded as a failed battle. If the strategic goal cannot be achieved before the end of June, your country's General Xiafei may

I'm going to lose my position. According to the feedback from the expeditionary force, your army is brave in combat and has fierce firepower, but its tactics are backward and they only charge in dense formations. This cannot continue, as the casualties will be too high."

After talking about it for a while, Kant was a bit confused and was stunned. Fang Jianxiong pointed to the chair and said: "Sit down and talk, someone, serve tea." The person in charge of delivering tea today was actually Lu Bicheng, who didn't know

How do these women do it? The division of labor is very detailed.

"Chairman Fang, our government hopes that your country can send less than sixty infantry divisions. Any specific requirements can be discussed." Kant was also anxious. The Battle of the Somme was basically a failure.

Three months later, there were hundreds of thousands of casualties, but the German position remained stable. Both sides successively increased their troops to the Somme River. Joffre once requested that the Chinese Expeditionary Force be transferred to the Somme River battlefield. Nivelle firmly opposed it, and the French government was also worried that this would cause China to

People are dissatisfied. They are fighting very well in the direction of Verdun. If you transfer them to the Somme line, isn't this a torment for them?

"Impossible. How many divisions are there in the National Defense Force? How many heavy artillery units are there in total? How many tank units are there in total? Mr. Kant should know very well. Twenty-one infantry divisions have gone to France, and domestic defense is empty. I can only recruit new soldiers now.

To supplement domestic defense. What if Japan has another trouble? Unless Japan is willing to send troops, I will not send any more reinforcements to Europe." Fang Jianxiong's attitude was very firm, with an unusually sure expression and a powerful wave of his hand.

Kant pretended that he had not heard all the difficulties that Marshal Fang mentioned. After he finished speaking and felt dry, Kant went to drink tea. Kant said: "Our government has authorized me to consider increasing the intensity of industrial assistance to China. Yes."

Sign a formal agreement on assistance. Our government will do its best to help your country develop its industry."

Fang Jianxiong heard this and sneered three times: "Hahaha! The latest steam turbine technology can also be transferred? The 400mm heavy gun technology can also be transferred? The latest battleship technology can also be transferred? The 10,000-ton hydraulic press that your country promised is still available.

Didn't you start assembling it? When my expeditionary force first arrived in France, the equipment was not in order and they went into battle. Isn't this true? If the contract is useful, the Germans will not invade Belgium."

This is a bit confusing, but it is intentional. The French did not have much hope for the Chinese ** team before. The original meaning is that hundreds of thousands of Chinese ** teams went to France, that is the best cannon fodder

Ah. In fact, this is what the French did. After the loss of Verdun, they immediately put the Chinese Army on top. The original intention was to let the expeditionary force hold up the German army. If not, they would also let the French army in the direction of Reims.

Withdrew safely. Unexpectedly, the expeditionary force was so ambitious that it stopped the German army with a counterattack. At this time, the French's eyes dropped to the ground. Although they were unbalanced, the battle of the Chinese ** team was not weaker than that of the French army.

It's for sure.

Relying on the victory of the expeditionary force, Fang Jianxiong spoke loudly and became tough. Didn't he travel thousands of miles to France to participate in the war to take the opportunity to improve China's international status? Although the industry is backward, it can be said that it is almost non-existent, and it cannot stand up to the Chinese Communist Party.

As long as people are equipped on the battlefield, they can defeat any army. With this premise, China is not a country that can be slaughtered by others.

"Your Excellency, Chairman, I admit what you said. Everything was caused by the damn European War. I will urge the technical personnel in Shanghai to assemble and debug the 10,000-ton hydraulic press as soon as possible. The refinery, chemical industry proposed by your government

Factory, optical instrument and equipment manufacturing factory, all these requirements can be met." Kant used one trick to tell the truth and show real benefits.

This trick is quite effective against Shang Jianxiong. To put it bluntly, these factories are completely blank in the Republic of China. It turned out that they were thinking that Americans could help, and the American imperialism is not a good bird. It is procrastinating.

Taking advantage and not doing anything shows that it is unreliable.

"In this case, I can suggest that the Ministry of National Defense establish ten infantry divisions as the second echelon of the expeditionary force. However, there is a condition. These ten infantry divisions need to undergo adaptive training at home, and they will not be dispatched until early next year at the earliest.

Go to France. Let’s talk about the rest later.” After Fang Jianxiong finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and drank tea. Of course Kant was not willing to accept it, and he didn’t care about Chinese etiquette. He stood up and said with great urgency: “Chairman Fang, it’s May now.

, is it a little late to send troops next year?”

Fang Jianxiong said calmly: "It's not too late at all. If your country cannot survive next year, I will consider withdrawing the expeditionary force from France." What he said was really embarrassing. Kant had no good way. The government gave him the highest authority.

, he took it all out. It is definitely not possible to reach such a result, and we can only go back and think of another way. Report it first, and then come to this greedy bastard to talk slowly.

Kant stood up to say goodbye, and Fang Jianxiong sent him out of the door with a smile. Although he was suspected of being used by this bastard, Kant still looked very happy. The Americans made a fortune during the war, which made Kant and Fang unhappy. Although Britain and France were both there

Trying to win over the United States to join the Allied Powers in the war, but as far as the current domestic atmosphere in the United States is concerned, this matter is not shown at all. In the ongoing election, Wilson's slogan is to stay away from war.

Finally it’s Ryans’ turn. This guy’s intention is exactly the opposite of Kant’s. The U.S. government hopes that Ryans can prevent China from sending troops to Europe on a large scale. Let’s put it this way, once China borrows the power of Britain and France to arm more than one million people,

With its own military, the value of the United States' use to China will be greatly reduced.

What the U.S. government hopes to see is a China that relies on the United States. As a large country in the Far East, China has a large population. The Chinese market is crucial to the United States, now and in the future. With the signing of the Sino-U.S. friendly cooperation agreement, a large number of

American capital poured into China and acquired a large number of national projects. Once China turns to Britain and France, it is unknown whether these long-term projects can guarantee long-term and stable interests. Another point is that if China loses, it will lose a containment power.

A powerful ally of Japan with a powerful navy. This is a huge blow to the strategic layout of the United States.

From the perspective of the U.S. government, the Chinese people really don’t want much. The refinery being built in Wuhan is not large in scale, and China’s crude oil production is very small. Currently, there is only a backward primitive oil mine in Yumen, which is not even an oil field.

"Your Excellency Chairman, first of all, I would like to express my sincere apologies on behalf of the U.S. employer regarding the Wuhan oil refinery. As you know, the European war is raging, and the capitalists have turned their attention to Europe, where there is a lot of money to be made.

As far as I know, some of your private companies in the United States have also obtained huge economic benefits. China and the United States have a long-term and good cooperative relationship. I don’t think that such a trivial matter will harm the two countries.

Friendship." Ryans took the initiative to explain, and at the same time hinted to Fang Jianxiong that this is a small thing. So, what is a big thing?

Fang Jianxiong smiled and said nothing, sitting on a chair and smoking, staring at Ryans. Ryans was extremely calm and smiled slightly: "There are a lot of oil companies in the United States. If you need it, I can contact at least five companies on your behalf."

, come to China to build a refinery. The premise is that you must ensure the sales of these petroleum products and the import of crude oil from the United States. As for the technology of optical equipment, it is not that the employer is unwilling to provide it, but that if it is given to you, you may not be able to master it.

Of course, the U.S. government can support a certain company to build a factory in China. I think you can guarantee the sales."

Reigns has finally seen through the traitor in front of him. As long as this guy has enough benefits, everything is easy to discuss. Sure enough, as Reigns spoke, the smile on Fang Jianxiong's face gradually grew, and finally became

A friendly smile.

"What a shameless guy!" He cursed silently in his heart, and Reigns smiled even brighter.

"Mr. Minister, I have always valued Sino-US friendship. There is no doubt about this. When I was still a local government, I was the one who advocated cooperation with the US government. I hope your country will cherish the hard-won friendship between the two countries." Marshal Fang.

Of course, Ryans would not think that this was a hypocritical statement. He nodded with a smile and said: "President Wilson paid great attention to Sino-US relations and personally called me to instruct him to do his best to deepen the friendship between China and the United States."
