Xue Fucheng immediately fell into deep thought. Although there is indeed no basis for this work according to international practice, similar things are not uncommon in the court. They are nothing more than old tricks such as hiding the truth and changing pillars. China
People have been playing it for thousands of years.
The key is that this guy's price is too high to refuse. The six-inch Armstrong rapid-fire cannon is the most advanced naval gun at the moment. Twenty of them are for free at once. This is enough to knock out all the similar cannons of the Beiyang Navy.
Change it again, not to mention there are so many shells, and the Beiyang Navy is just signing a name. Of course, the court may be a bit verbose, but the envoys on the European side are all from Beiyang, as long as they don't talk about those in the country.
The pillars of the temple won't know, maybe they don't even know where Sweden is.
"This matter is so serious that I need to report to the imperial court before making a decision." Old Xue Tou said in an official tone.
Yang Feng chuckled, knowing that it was done, and Li Hongzhang was not a fool, how could he let go of such a beautiful thing as pie in the sky?
However, what model of cruiser should be chosen requires serious consideration. Speaking of which, he most hopes to have Armstrong Shipyard copy the Predator for himself, and then let Beauty Avatar be responsible for manufacturing the power system, but that is too cheap.
Being British, how many advanced design concepts were given to them in vain. Besides, maintenance, especially confidentiality, would be very troublesome, so he decided to get a ship that was of normal standard.
Returning to his manor, this fellow began to filter through his mind one by one the most famous cruisers of this era, and soon a name appeared. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the Japanese had wanted to buy it, but failed to sell it.
The Blancoen Calada cruiser is Yoshino’s eldest brother.
It has a displacement of 4,500 tons, a speed of 22.8 knots, two 203mm main guns, ten 152mm secondary guns, and even five torpedo tubes. Except for the slightly slower speed, everything else
In that aspect, the performance is enough to crush Yoshino.
"It's good, but the cruiser at this time doesn't seem to be very strong. For example, Yoshino sank after being hit by it." This point made Boss Yang very entangled. He always valued his own safety more than anything else.
But he soon felt relieved. When he bought a warship, he didn't have to go to the battlefield in person. It would be the mercenaries who would fight for it, so why bother with so much?
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Eric is here." His butler Franz came over and interrupted the guy's thoughts.
When he was in Sweden, the vampire wanted to send eight telegrams a day to urge him to come back. Now that he is really back, of course there will be a visit. But this time it is not the fool who is sick, but one of the fool's friends who is sick.
Moreover, this friend is a woman, and her illness is not a serious one, just ordinary pneumonia. She probably doesn’t even need penicillin, just take Cephalosporin.
Doctor Yang took Catherine with him in his pumpkin carriage and followed the vampire to the small manor. The fool greeted him with a smile. With the help of Yang Feng's two magic tools, this guy must have had a lot of fun during this time.
It can be seen from the consumption of condoms, so looking at Yang Feng now is like looking at a relative.
"Eddie, I will show you something good in a moment. My latest invention has now been produced in Sweden." The two of them walked into the small Gothic-style building together as they talked.
"Who is this young lady?" Boss Yang looked at his patient with an exaggerated expression of surprise. She was a girl under twenty years old. Although in terms of aesthetics, in his opinion, she was not as good as those around her.
Catherine, who was still growing up, lived a pampered life, but her beauty was incomparable to that of Catherine who grew up in the slums.
The girl raised her hand reservedly and arrogantly, giving Yang Feng the right to kiss, and then looked at him somewhat curiously. You must know that in Europe at this time, Chinese people are still relatively mysterious. Besides, although Boss Yang is old,
A little older, but still a bit lethal to the girl. It was obvious that the girl had a good impression of him. Although she still maintained her innate arrogance in the subsequent conversation, after Yang Feng casually talked about several future generations
After the bad joke, the idiot cousin Alice smiled brightly.
Especially after learning that he was still the boss of JY Company, Alice's surprise was palpable. Although it had only been open for a few months, this small building with two red lanterns hanging in front of the door had already become a landmark for upper-class British women.
Holy place.
As for her illness, it was very simple. It was just a slight case of pneumonia. I guess the idiot was just trying to be courteous. Otherwise, this minor illness would not have required Doctor Yang's intervention. After taking half a cephalosporin pill, Yang Feng was still showing off his new invention to the idiot.
By that time, her fever had begun to subside.
"Take these half pills in two hours. After a sleep, you will be completely healthy tomorrow." Doctor Yang took her temperature again and said, then threw the Browning that the fool coveted to him and said.
: "Eddie, this gun is given to you. Tomorrow you have someone go to my place to get a few boxes of bullets."
This pistol is already a mature model. After several key parts were replaced by those produced by Beauty Avatar, the jamming rate has plummeted to a level lower than the original version. Yang Feng asked Bofors to make a luxury version for him alone, with an ivory sticker on the handle.
, the shell is gold-plated and engraved with exquisite patterns. He plans to sell it as a luxury product in London. I believe that this novelty will be very popular among the old British pirates.
After dealing with this, he said goodbye and left. When he was leaving, he asked the vampire who was seeing him off: "Eric, do you have any friends in the Armstrong Shipyard? I opened a small shipyard in Sweden and thought of visiting them.
, to supplement myself with additional knowledge. Of course, you also know that if I go by myself, they may not let me visit."
"No problem, I will help you arrange it." The vampire shrugged and said lightly.
What Yang Feng didn't expect was that this guy was indeed very energetic. Early the next morning, an employee from the London office of Armstrong Shipyard came to visit his manor. After learning that Yang Feng happened to be free, he quickly
He warmly invited him to go to Newcastle with him and visit the largest warship manufacturing base in the UK.
Boss Yang naturally accepted the invitation very happily, and then the two of them took his private yacht and went directly to sea. Along the way, the power system of Black Arrow amazed the engineer named Richard, especially after knowing this
After the two small and exquisite diesel engines were actually able to provide a powerful power of more than a thousand horsepower, the man was so shocked that he could hardly close his mouth.
"In fact, so far, it is almost impossible to mass-produce this kind of diesel engine because it uses a lot of expensive materials. To put it bluntly, this is to demonstrate the technical strength of Young Power Systems Company and truly mass-produce it.
Even if the power of a modernized machine can reach that level, it will be much larger and far less mature than a steam engine." Yang Feng said quickly.
The sea route from London to Newcastle is only a few hundred kilometers long. The small yacht, which was racing at a high speed of 25 knots, only took a dozen hours to arrive. It was already late at night. The Armstrong Shipyard arranged accommodation for him and he slept all night.
After that, we went to the shipyard for a visit early the next morning, accompanied by Richard.
This company is not only the UK, it can also be said to be the largest warship manufacturing base in the world. It manufactured almost half of the battleships of both sides in the Sino-Japanese War, including the Zhiyuan, Jingyuan, Yoshino, and Naniwa. Those in the military industry can do this.
This level can also be said to be the pinnacle of success.
However, Yang Feng could only describe the warships on the slipway here as rubbish. After all, he was used to seeing modern warships, so it was difficult for him to have any affection for the weird monsters of this era. Those lonely big masts alone made him very happy.
He was speechless. Of course, he still praised these warships so much that they were almost as good as space battleships. Richard's face was filled with the glory of the British Empire.
The two of them were talking while walking and almost bumped into a person walking towards them.
"Hello, Mr. Parsons." Richard greeted casually. The other person took off his hat and lowered his head slightly, then looked at Yang Feng with a slightly strange look, and then left in a hurry.
"Parsons, are you Mr. Parsons who invented the steam turbine?" Yang Feng suddenly stopped him and asked.
"That's it, sir. Who are you, sir?" Parsons stopped and looked at Yang Feng doubtfully.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Yang Feng, general manager of JY Company, president of People's Publishing House, general manager of General Electric Company, chairman of Swedish Young Power Systems Company, and chairman of Bofors Steel Company." Boss Yang said in Parsons
With a look of astonishment in his eyes, Si spoke out his long and stinky title just like a nobleman in the Middle Ages spoke of his title.
But speaking of it, his titles are even louder than those of some nobles. Needless to say, JY is now almost everyone in the UK. General Electric, whose name Yang Feng even pirated, has completely eliminated Edison's bamboo charcoal light bulbs with its tungsten filament light bulbs.
After exiting the British market, it has now spread to the European continent. It is estimated that the Edison Electric Lighting Company will have to withdraw from the European market in at least half a year.
As for the People's Publishing House and Yang's Power System Company, they are also in the limelight. Even Bofors is a century-old brand. So many companies are added to one person, but they are more dazzling than those increasingly worthless aristocratic titles.
many.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Yang!" Parsons extended his hand in a friendly manner. He is now just a small factory owner in Newcastle. He has just sold his first set of steam turbines. To put it bluntly, he can barely make ends meet.
It's just that it can't be compared with a predatory industrial giant like Yang Feng. I'm afraid that Boss Yang's carriage is worth more than his factory.
Little did he know that it wouldn't be long before he regretted his actions.
"I am also honored. Well, how about we sit down and find a place to have a drink together?" Yang Fengjiao said with a smile. Since the prey has appeared, of course he cannot let it go.
