Qiao Yu has long had a plan in his mind. Only by establishing a complete industrial system can he truly become a great country and have the capital to compete with the great powers. However, the words "industrial system" are easy to say, but too difficult to implement. Just count on your fingers.
At the most, there were no more than ten countries with industrial systems, and with the development of industry, there is a trend of fewer and fewer. Now the only countries that have this system are the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States, and even France is relatively reluctant.
As for Japan, Russia and Italy, the difference is even greater, but these countries also constitute the first echelon in the world. World War I and World War II were basically fought between these industrial countries, with the only exception being China.
After World War II, with the development of aerospace, nuclear, information technology, etc., there were only three countries with complete industrial systems. Fortunately, China was one of them. Qiao Yu asked for more than a dozen at this time.
This project is aimed at the industrial system. Qiao Yu does not expect to be able to establish these quickly, but at least he must spread the stall and use the excellent opportunity of World War I to develop it initially. As for when it can be established
Looking up, Qiao Yu estimates that it will take at least more than ten years after the Great Depression for Sichuan to lay a solid foundation, train a group of needed talents, and then take advantage of the unprecedented economic crisis to obtain part of the industrial technology from the great powers. By then
Now you have the capital to challenge the little devil.
Wei Si and Ludendorff did not have the deep vision to penetrate history. They thought that Qiao Yu wanted to get some funds and then some machine guns and heavy artillery, but they never expected that Qiao Yu would propose
Asking Germany to help establish a group of industrial enterprises is beyond their scope of authority.
Ludendorff frowned and said after a while: "Qiao, to establish these enterprises, it will cost at least tens of millions of marks. Although your military technology is very precious, it is definitely not worth so much money!"
Qiao Yu shook his head slightly: "Senior, these things of the Sichuan Army are very primitive, but they have already started. If Germany wants to start from scratch, it will not take more than a few months, especially the training of special operations teams.
The method requires a lot of experiments to summarize. What Germany lacks most now is time. In a situation like this in Europe, a war will break out at any time. It may happen in one year, two years, or three to five years. I think even these things can help
Germany's victory in a battle cannot be compared to tens of millions of marks. In addition, I don't want it for free. I can completely pay for it with Sichuan's special products, such as bristles, duck down, tung oil, flour, textiles, ores and other materials. I can make the decision.
These materials from Sichuan are exclusively for purchase by Germany!”
Qiao Yu made a condition, and Ludendorff's eyes gradually lit up. These things looked very ordinary, but they did play a huge role in the war. For example, the small bristles looked like a few on the back of a pig.
It’s just bristle, but guns and ships need to be cleaned and maintained during combat. They cannot do without this thing. It is a real strategic material. In the world, China’s bristle has the best quality and the largest output, among which the three southwest provinces are the main ones.
production area, and Sichuan's output ranks first among the three southwest provinces. If these materials from Sichuan are exclusively supplied to Germany, it will definitely be of great help to Germany.
Ludendorff couldn't help but be moved, and even Wei Si fell into deep thought. To put it bluntly, this kind of cooperation between China and Germany is a trade-off between long-term interests and short-term interests. The factory Qiao Yu wants can help China lay an industrial foundation and further
Development is expected to become an industrial country, and what Germany gets is a bargaining chip to increase the victory of the war. No one knows when the European War will break out, but everyone knows that it will not be too far away. The Germans do not want to do anything that can increase the chance of victory.
I will let it go….
"Both of you, Mr. Fushan, the British Consul General, also came to me and asked me to make appropriate concessions on the Tibetan issue, and was willing to fully cooperate with me!"
When Ludendorff heard that Qiao Yu actually mentioned the British, he immediately waved his hands: "Qiao, the arrogant British will not give you a good price, and the British want to plot your country's Tibet. You should not cooperate with each other."
!”
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking about. I'm very eager for Germany to agree to my proposal!"
Wei Si and Ludendorff looked at each other, and then Wei Si said: "Qiao, I will discuss it with China. I believe there will be broader cooperation between us!" The two said goodbye and left here.
At this time, someone came in to report that Zhang Taiyan was here. Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this person avenging Tao Chengzhang? Why did he come to Sichuan? However, Qiao Yu respected Zhang Taiyan's character and knowledge, and hurriedly
Invited him in.
Qiao Yu saw that Zhang Taiyan was now thin, with sunken eye sockets and red eyes. He had a big beard on his face and looked extremely haggard.
"Mr. Taiyan, you are no longer as charming as you were when we last met. Although Mr. Tao has passed away, don't we living people still have to continue to fight to fulfill Mr. Tao's wish?"
Zhang Taiyan shook his head slightly: "Shun Qing, to be honest, when Tao Chengzhang died, my heart seemed to have been taken away. He was my best friend, and I also regarded him as the hope of China. He was the only one in the south who could
The figure who checked and balanced Lao Yuan, but now there is no body left, I am afraid that the great cause of constitutional government will be in vain. I only regret that those gangsters are still at large, and Cheng Zhang can't rest in peace in heaven!"
Qiao Yu also frowned: "I heard that Song Jiaoren has mobilized an army to capture Chen Qimei, and Feng Guozhang also led the Beiyang Army south. Aren't these two forces enough to make Chen Qimei submit?"
"It's difficult!" Zhang Taiyan laughed bitterly: "Song Jiaoren was from the Tongmenghui. Although he dealt with it impartially this time and wanted to arrest Chen Qimei, the first evidence was insufficient, and the second was that there were constraints. Sun Huang and others kept calling and accusing Song Jiaoren.
After betraying the revolution, the Liberation Army fell into pieces without Huanqing's leadership and was difficult to mobilize. It had not moved out of the 200-mile area for more than half a month. And the Beiyang Army's advance was not very fast. It seems that Lao Yuan was trying to make the Liberation Army and Shanghai
The army wanted to fight head-on, and then Lao Yuan took down these two forces in one fell swoop!"
When Qiao Yu heard this, he felt a burst of emotion in his heart. After all, Lao Yuan is an old-fashioned figure who always does this kind of good thing to reap profits, but don't forget that if this kind of thing continues, it will damage the prestige of the central government, and if he doesn't catch it as soon as possible,
If Chen Qimei lives in Chen Qimei, Lao Yuan will not be able to escape suspicion, and the authority of the law will be completely lost. In the end, Lao Yuan can only use the power of Beiyang to force other princes to obey, but cannot really restrict others through the system. When the Beiyang power has problems,
After that, this fragile balance completely disappeared!
"Mr. Taiyan, are you here just to complain? I am beyond my reach to deal with matters in Shanghai. I can only shout a few words!"
"Shun Qing, I am here to certainly hope that you can put pressure on all parties to solve the Tao case quickly and bring the murderer to justice. In addition, I also want to know what you think of the future of the United Party and whether you want to continue to maintain it.
