Boss Yang is causing trouble in Europe with the ultimate goal of returning to harm the Qing Dynasty. This is his ideal in life, but if a person like him wants to develop in China at this time, that is the real goal. You are looking for death! In a few days, there may not even be any bones and dregs left. Whether you admit it or not, Europe at this time is still much more civilized than the pigtails who regard businessmen as pigs and sheep, and it is better than robbing money. The crazy New World is also much more civilized. It is a place with the highest security. You can gather your own capital in Europe and then fight back with a suitable opportunity.
This suitable opportunity is Jiawu.
His plan is to recruit a mercenary army or arm a group of overseas Chinese, and then kill them back to rob them in the name of helping. For example, Taiwan is a very suitable place for him to plunder. When Li Er's Japanese are defeated and have to cede Taiwan, Of course, if I lead people to defend Taiwan, I am not doing Tang Jingsong's nonsense of being without a king or a father. I must be loyal to the imperial court and the Queen Mother. I will wait until Kangliang's gang of traitors bring trouble to Chao Gang, and then I will take the opportunity to extend my claws to the imperial court. Mainland China, as for who to help, let’s decide later. It depends on who benefits more.
But in this case, the Japanese Army must be allowed to consume as much power as possible. It is best to fight them so that both sides suffer. It would be perfect if the Beiyang Navy and the Combined Fleet could die together, and then the Japanese Army would kill 30,000 people. For 50,000 yuan, it will be easy to operate by yourself.
Therefore, we must first sell arms, grenades, automatic pistols, and mortars to Beiyang. Speaking of which, Li Erjiap still has a few people who really want to fight, such as Nie Shicheng, Zuo Guogui, Zhang Gaoyuan, etc., but their level is limited. When fighting, he still had the same old mentality as Ping Changmao, so he had the Japanese pin him down on the ground and beat him violently.
Besides, the number of people is a bit small. In the entire system that is on the verge of collapse, such a few people will not only be unable to turn the tide, but may even risk their lives. If they are equipped with some advanced weapons, at least the defeat will not be too ugly. For example, Zuo Guigui , if you get him a dozen 82mm mortars, I guess Naofumi Tachimi can still be taught a lesson in Mudandai.
For another example, if we get a batch of artillery shells using picric acid or a few steam gas torpedoes for the Beiyang Navy, what will be the outcome of their duel with the combined fleet? In addition to steam gas torpedoes, you can also buy a few 152 mm He gave them the Armstrong rapid-fire cannon and asked Deng Shichang to replace all his main guns with this thing. It is estimated that by then he would not have to hit Yoshino.
But in this case, you need a good excuse. If you rush to tell Xue Fucheng that because he admires Li Erjiai, he is going to give him weapons and ammunition worth millions of silver, it would be strange if he doesn't suspect that he has ulterior motives. ! He is an old fox. With this kind of investment, it is probably enough to just go back and buy a governor. Why would he be so stupid as to flatter Li Er?
What if he buys a cruiser? Let him order a cruiser from Yang's Shipyard in the name of the Beiyang Navy, and set the delivery period in fifteen years when signing the contract. Of course, Yang's Shipyard will definitely They don't have this capability, so this order will be outsourced to Armstrong Shipyard. They can build such a warship in two years at most, and then it will become the property of Yang's Shipyard. You can do whatever you like with the rest. Anyway, this is an order from the Chinese Navy. Even if it is swaggering around Europe every day with a cannon, there will be no problem. It is just a trial. As for the trial period of fifteen years, it can only be said that Yang's Shipyard has relatively strict technical requirements. .
This guy was a little excited by his creativity. He had already bought a shipyard in Gothenburg. As the oldest port in Northern Europe, there is naturally no shortage of shipyards here, but they are all small factories. There are some in England, France and Germany.
There are three super industrial powers nearby, which are just struggling to make ends meet. After being contacted by Ericsson, they bought one without spending a few bucks. Then it was renamed Yang's Shipyard, and it is now undergoing expansion. However,
Even if the expansion is completed, it will only be able to build ships of about a thousand tons at most. It is impossible to build a large cruiser. Besides, Yang Feng has no plans to build such a thing in Sweden.
Such a great plan needs to be carried out. Boss Yang is naturally not interested in staying in Sweden. Anyway, with Ericsson as a local boss, the construction of the remaining factories is proceeding steadily. As for the projects that have been put into production, he does not need to care.
Already.
The Swedish Parliament has approved the military's automatic pistol purchase order. Although it is only a thousand guns, it is enough to keep the arsenal in Bofors busy for a while. Young Power Systems is producing diesel engines and walking tractors in small batches, and more
Large factories are also under construction, and this kind of diesel engine has also been applied to fishing boats by shipyards. Two diesel engines plus a gearbox can drive small fishing boats of more than ten tons, which is very popular. In this case, Yang Feng naturally
He couldn't wait to start his own plan. After leaving the Swedish affairs to Eriksson, this guy drove his small yacht with his newly acquired bodyguard Johnson, his sister, Yang Feng's maid, and his wife Catherine.
Returned to London.
As for Lin Luoke, she has come back a long time ago. Does she still have a beloved comic career? The first episode of The Rose of Versailles was sold out as soon as it came out. Now countless girls are waiting for her and her and the comic studio to release the second episode!
After returning to London, this guy threw the Johnson brothers and sisters into his manor, and then went to the Chinese Embassy to report. His current identity is still the secretary of the embassy, but he just asked for leave to attend to his own personal affairs.
"Sir, let me show you something good." He approached Xue Fucheng with a smile and said.
Xue Fucheng looked at him indifferently. Yang Feng was building an industrial empire in Sweden during this period, and he knew a little bit about it. Although China and Sweden had no diplomatic relations at this time, you could learn a lot just from newspapers. After all, there was no diplomatic relationship between China and Sweden.
It's a tractor and an automatic pistol. There are a lot of newspapers in London paying attention to this new thing, not to mention that Tomorrow Daily here spares no effort to build momentum for the big boss.
Seeing that Xue Fucheng was not cooperating at all, the guy chuckled and took out a Mauser C96 from his arms.
"Is this the automatic pistol you invented?" Xue Fucheng looked at the ugly-looking pistol curiously.
Yang Feng smiled and took out a bridge of bullets in front of him, then loaded it slowly, then stood up and walked to the window. Xue Fucheng hurriedly stood up and walked to his side, and saw Yang Feng aiming at a tree in the yard.
The little tree pulled the trigger, and he fired all ten bullets in a very short time, beating the tree trunk into pieces. After the bullets were fired, the guy reloaded a clip of bullets very quickly and continued to kill the tree.
Poor little tree until it was broken into two pieces.
Just as the tree crown fell, Yang Feng pretended to blow the non-existent gunpowder smoke from the muzzle, and then said proudly: "Sir, what do you think of this gun?"
"How much does it cost?" Xue Fucheng asked directly without any hesitation.
"It's not money, but my loyalty to the court and the Queen Mother, my admiration for Li Zhongtang, and my respect for you, how can I ask for money? Well, I'll give you five hundred, but because of production problems,
It may not be delivered until after the New Year." Yang Feng said generously.
Xue Fucheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "In this case, I will tell Li Zhongtang for you, and I will get you a fifth-grade top hat later."
Thinking about the image of himself wearing a pheasant feather and a zombie suit, Boss Yang couldn't help but feel chills. He quickly swallowed to suppress his nausea and said: "Sir, actually I have a bigger gift to give.
Master Zhongtang."
Xue Fucheng looked at him meaningfully and seemed to think this was more reasonable. With Yang Feng's character, he must have ulterior motives if he was willing to give things away for free.
"I wonder what the gift is?" Xue Fucheng asked casually while drinking tea.
"Twenty Armstrong six-inch rapid-fire guns!"
Poof! Xue Fucheng spit out a sip of tea and looked at Yang Feng in disbelief.
Yang Feng clapped his fingers nonchalantly and continued: "Six hundred rounds of German 305mm high-explosive bombs and four thousand rounds of British six-inch gun high-explosive bombs."
"Conditions!" Xue Fucheng opened his eyes wide and said without any hesitation.
"It's very simple. The Beiyang Navy has ordered a cruiser from the Swedish Young Shipyard. I am currently studying the specific model." Yang Feng said.
"What do you mean?" Xue Fucheng said doubtfully. Of course he didn't think Yang Feng really wanted to sell the warship.
"You only need to sign the contract for this cruiser, and you won't have to worry about anything else in the future, including the money issue. You don't need the Beiyang Navy to pay a penny, but the delivery time must be set at ten in the contract.
In five years, if you do this, the Beiyang navy will be able to get what I mentioned." Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Does that mean you want a cruiser yourself?"
Delivery, that's not something he'll do until he gets tired of it.
"You see, talking to smart people is easy." Yang Feng said proudly.
"What do you want a cruiser for?" Xue Fucheng asked doubtfully.
"How about fun? When a person has too much money and nowhere to spend it, he will always have some weird ideas. Just like our Queen Mother likes to build a garden, and our Li Zhongtang likes to soak his feet. I like to play all kinds of games.
Weapons, especially if you like to play with warships, now that you have money, you will naturally buy one, but Armstrong Shipyard will definitely not sell it to me, an ordinary citizen, but a naval fleet like the Beiyang Navy is different." Yang Feng said.
.
"So you ask the navy to order from your shipyard, and then you subcontract it to Armstrong Shipyard. After it is completed, it will be driven to your shipyard and used as a toy in the name of continuing construction. When it is enough, it will be given to the navy.
." Xue Fucheng immediately understood his train of thought.
