Chapter 16 Cooperation and Misleading
ps: ps: My wife is sick and I have to take care of her sick body, which almost makes me miserable. My brother who never does housework actually has to cook and wash clothes.
"Bob, my brother, Fang is really too much." When the extremely depressed Pierre complained to Bob, he opened his collar and kept fanning himself. It was really too hot this summer.
Bob, who was dressed in military uniform, seemed not to feel the heat, and his button-up button was always on. Bob didn't seem to hear Pierre's complaints, and looked at the lawn of the manor leisurely, as if thinking about something. Pierre
Looking at his appearance, I couldn't help but sigh slightly in my heart. Germany's defeat was a huge blow to this brother.
"I was wondering if Fang had anything to do with Germany. After much deliberation, I never thought of it. In fact, when he was an intern in the Seventh Army, Fang had already concluded that the total strength of the Allied Powers was four times that of Germany, and their overall strength was far greater.
Stronger than Germany, once Germany falls into a situation of fighting on the east and west fronts, the outcome of the war is already determined. I already saw this clearly when we captured Paris. Unfortunately, many people in Germany did not see it.
Pierre, you have no right to complain about Fang. Ask yourself, do you really regard Fang as your brother? In the deepest part of your heart, the other party has always had a contemptuous attitude. It was not shown before because of the huge interests.
To cause trouble. Germany has gained huge economic benefits from its cooperation with Fang, including you, and has also gained enough benefits from the cooperation. Fang created a country, and he is responsible for the interests of this country."
When Bob was talking, he always looked sideways at the lawn outside the window. He seemed to be talking to the air.
"You're right. The only one who can help Germany now is Fang. I think I know what to do. Fang doesn't owe Germany anything." Biel sighed, stood up and prepared to leave. Bob turned to look at him and said
: "My brother, since you have chosen to do something for Germany, don't forget that Fang is your brother."
Yang Yongtai went to London again from Paris. This time, the British received better treatment. British Prime Minister George received the special envoy of the Republic of China government. He made no secret of it at the reception dinner: "China's navy is too weak. I think you
At least five battleships are needed, British built."
Chen Shaokuan, the representative of the Navy, was beside Yang Yongtai. When he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to stare at Yang Yongtai, hoping to get some exciting news. Yang Yongtai shrugged his shoulders and said: "China
We are not a maritime country. Our national defense strategy focuses on continental defense. Now an evil regime has appeared in the north. Kolchak suffered a defeat in Kazan. Maybe it will never recover from this, and China may have to face threats from the west and north.
threats."
George twisted his mouth. This damn Chinaman obviously meant something different. He wanted to bargain. The problem is that in the naval arms race with Germany, Britain built too many battleships and now has no rivals at sea. Quite a few of them
Battleships may not even be sold at scrap metal prices.
“What a shame!”
"China has a long coastline that needs to be defended. Our naval philosophy is mainly based on defense. If your government makes concessions on price, we will consider purchasing five battlecruisers." Yang Yongtai picked up the fork.
, stuffed the last piece of steak into his mouth, wiped his mouth, and showed his attitude of preparing to start bleeding.
"New Zealand, Australia, 1 million pounds each, Lion, Princess Royal, Agincourt, 1.2 million pounds each." George had been waiting for a long time and made an offer without hesitation. The war is over.
, these obsolete warships are worried about not being able to find a buyer to accept them.
"I want eight hundred thousand, one million, five ships." Yang Yongtai put on a posture of preparing to fight, his eyes were red. Unexpectedly, George smiled slightly and said: "Deal, by the way, do you want destroyers and cruisers?"
?”
"Ci'ao!" Yang Yongtai spat out a sentence in Chinese. He didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and he felt a little uncomfortable. After a while, he said: "Forget about destroyers and cruisers. If your country can transfer torpedo technology, our country is willing to consider buying it at an appropriate price.
.”
There is no doubt that it is possible to sell warships, but there is no need to discuss technology transfer, so George simply said: "We will talk about this later."
"The foreign devils really have no good things. Fu Shuai is right." Yang Yongtai cursed in his heart, with a polite smile on his face, and turned to Chen Shaokuan and said: "Remember to send a telegram to the country to report that the transaction is completed."
When facing Fang Lang again, Biel proposed a new plan. China loaned Germany 100 million yuan to purchase grain and other materials in China. Biel organized a group of German companies to go to China and invest in technology.
, a Sino-German joint venture to build a factory. Biel also submitted a list of enterprises. These enterprises are very sensitive and are basically projects prohibited by the Treaty of Versailles from German research. After Fang Lang read the list carefully, he expressed satisfaction.
He smiled and said: "I think this plan is very sincere, and I think Fushuai will agree with it."
In fact, this is a very interesting plan, even beyond Fang Jianxiong's imagination. When Fang Jianxiong, who was far away in China, received such a plan sent back in an encrypted message, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly with pride. Harsh
The Treaty of Versailles is indeed just a temporary peace treaty, and the Germans will not admit defeat. This is what the Germans have done in history. Through cooperation with other countries, they have developed many advanced technologies. But now this cooperation partner has changed.
, the cooperation method has also been changed. With such a plan, who dares to say that the Germans are rigid?
This method of cooperation is destined to be carried out by private organizations. Fang Jianxiong did not rush to answer, but picked up another telegram. Yang Yongtai reached a contract with the United Kingdom to purchase battleships. Fang Jianxiong was not very interested in purchasing battleships, but he was very happy to do so.
In this way, it misled the Japanese navy, which had been staring at China. With these five outdated British warships, plus the four previously purchased in the United States, it was enough stimulation that the Japanese navy went crazy.
Without the blood transfusion of the Republic of China, Japan's economic development after World War I would be in a difficult predicament. Under such circumstances, continuing to develop battleships to maintain its advantage over the Chinese navy would be detrimental to Japan's already poor economy.
It is undoubtedly adding insult to injury. Fang Jianxiong is very happy to see the Japanese navy develop in the direction he has led.
Fang Jianxiong picked up a pen and paper and slowly listed out the detailed rules for Sino-German cooperation one by one. First, several domestic representative companies were required to come forward and cooperate through private channels. These companies must have corresponding investment in scientific research.
The Eurasian Group was naturally the first to bear the brunt, including Wuchang Airlines headed by Feng Ru, Zhou Xuexi's Northern Group, and Shanghai's Yu Qiaqing... Fang Jianxiong was thinking and writing, and soon he filled a full piece of paper. Finally,
Still not satisfied, let Chen Guofu come in.
When Chen Guofu came in, he actually brought a thin man in. Fang Jianxiong was somewhat surprised and glanced sharply at the man. The man was quite indifferent, standing aside with a cigarette in his hand, coming from time to time.
One mouthful. There was no trace of the nervousness of facing the first person in the Republic of China today. Fang Jianxiong suddenly became interested and said with a smile: "Guofu, why don't you introduce him?"
Chen Guofu smiled and said: "Fu Shuai, this is my good friend, Chen Xun'en, also known as Yanji, whose pen name is Bray, Wei Lei, a famous critic in the Republic of China." Speaking of this, Fang Jianxiong remembered that Chen Guofu had mentioned such a person a few days ago.
He is very good at writing and also very knowledgeable in politics.
"Okay, since it was Guofu who brought him here, there is nothing wrong with it. I have something here. You can take it back and look at it, improve it, and by the way, do what needs to be done first." Fang Jianxiong held up the paper in his hand.
I handed it over without any intention of explaining it in detail. It's not that Fang Jianxiong is untrustworthy in employing people, but he is self-aware. These figures who have left a strong mark on history may have some problems with their vision, but they are absolutely capable. As things are handed down, there will be nothing they can't do.
OK.
Chen Guofu took the paper filled with words and said: "Fu Shuai, I want to hand over the secretarial department of the Attendant's Room to Bray."
Fang Jianxiong nodded and said, "It's up to you. I can trust you to do your job."
When the two of them exited, Chen Brai didn't expect that Fang Jianxiong didn't say a word to him, let alone have any intention of talking for a long time, and his mood was somewhat depressed. Little did he know that Fang Jianxiong was sitting on the chair with a proud smile on his face, talking to himself
He muttered to himself: "Are you brave? I wonder how Chiang Kai-shek is doing in Japan? How is that revolutionary doing? It seems that there has been little movement recently."
Fang Jianxiong wished that the bird man named Sun would not return to China and stay in Japan forever. The Democratic Party has always been criticized by the Chinese people on this issue. Every time the Republican Party wants to attack the Democratic Party, it must point it out. "Your party leader
You are in Japan, when will you return to China?" I don't know what Mr. Sun is thinking. Is he too high to come back, or is he afraid to come back?
Fang Jianxiong felt that it was more likely that he would not dare to come back. Mr. Sun was very talkative. In the past, he was held at gunpoint during riots. He was always responsible for shouting from behind. He must be very afraid of death.
After handling this matter, Fang Jianxiong breathed a sigh of relief. Germany's revival was only a matter of time. Through cooperation, at least 50,000 to 60,000 German technicians could be fooled into coming to China. This was very important for the improvement of science and technology in the Republic of China.
Fang Jianxiong, who was in a good mood, picked up another document and looked at it. Suddenly his pupils shrank. He looked at the two names on the document and grinned: "Why did these two get together?"
The content of the document was a report sent by the Air Force about new aircraft. Feng Hua advocated external bidding, regardless of the size of the company. The only requirement was that the design should meet the needs of the Air Force. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhu and Bayama Zao
