The seeds of Yang Feng's sin have been sown, and they are just waiting to blossom and bear fruit through hard work. Of course, this will take time, but fortunately, he is not short of time...
After the Sino-French War, his military diesel engines immediately received a new wave of orders, especially France, which was the most severely stimulated. After learning that Emperor Yang did not restrict the export of diesel engines to them, they purchased an additional two hundred units in one go.
Taiwan, and they are all high-power versions with 10,000 horsepower. Because I was worried that Yang Feng would impose sanctions one day, I would rather increase the price to get it in the shortest time. The final price agreed upon by both parties was 100,000 pounds per unit, which lasted half a year.
All delivered within.
It's not that they want to use the diesel to increase the number of battleships. France already has a budget for sixteen perfect battleships. The first batch of six ships will be built in two years. There is no point in adding more. Their navy cannot wait that long.
In addition, they have no money. The compensation of 500 million gold francs is not a small amount even for the loan shark empire. Even the money for these diesel engines has to be solved by issuing additional national debt. This is also due to the failure of the war, especially the naval blockade of the American Fleet.
It seriously stimulated the French capitalists. In order to prevent such horrific tragedies from happening in the future, they bought them as enthusiastically as they did to drive the Germans out of Paris as soon as possible. These diesel engines will all be used to build various types of cruisers and cruisers that can be completed in a short period of time.
Large destroyers, and also large submarines under development.
Of course, this quantity is nothing to Yang Feng. He has just shipped back nearly 20,000 tons of raw materials, and Beauty Avatar can make hundreds of them for him in a day. Even now, His Majesty the Emperor does not need to transport the goods himself. His shuttle
The machine has regained its deformation ability, and it can transform into an ocean-going cargo ship and dock directly at Yang's Power Systems Company's newly built special dock in Haizhou. Although it is a bit mysterious to not see the crew coming ashore every time, since it is His Majesty the Emperor's ship
, no one would dare to study this issue.
After the built diesel engine is unloaded at the dock, it is sent directly to the nearby factory for packaging. In fact, the main purpose is to pack the casing. That is, continue to thicken the original casing and add some additional parts. It may seem useful, but in fact it is not.
There are no parts that have any use, and certainly no harm. All his diesel engines do this, and they have become familiar with it over the years. Countless European scientists are troubled by these little tricks of his, and many people are convinced that they are
The reason why we were unable to produce a diesel engine with the same performance was because we didn't fully understand the uses of these things. Emperor Yang secretly laughed at this fact so many times.
After adding the bits and pieces, it was stamped with the stamp of Yang's Power Systems Company. Then it was put into a special packaging box, which was also made of brass. It was engraved with the Chinese royal emblem, a dragon with teeth and claws in the clouds, and looked at
It is high-end and classy, and definitely meets the standard selling price of 40,000 to 70,000 pounds per unit.
Because of the perfect performance of the Kunlun-class battleships in the war, the European powers are now eyeing more than just diesel engines. Britain and Germany, among others, are trying to find out if they can hit the target with the first salvo 17 kilometers away.
The secret lies. Of course, Emperor Yang firmly refused to admit that he used some mysterious instruments unknown to the outside world. In his mouth, these were all the result of the well-trained Chinese sailors. The European powers could understand this.
Although it is not more than a hundred years later, it is still very clear that everyone exports ideas and systems, but cannot export technology. Things related to national security must be hidden deeply. In fact, among them
It seems that if Yang Feng continues to sell diesel engines to others, he is already making a lot of money at the risk of his life.
As for how he did it, the outside world can basically guess it. It is nothing more than a more advanced sighting system. The British had already begun to implement centralized fire control at this time, and they were confident that it would not take long.
As for the Germans, they have Zeiss. They really have nothing to fear in this regard. Even General Electric’s most popular product, color cameras, have to use lenses purchased from Zeiss in order to let their cannons hit targets 17 kilometers away.
Battleship, Zeiss also has enough confidence.
Stimulated by this war, the European powers continued to move forward more aggressively on the road of arms race. Distant Europe was at war with each other, and the equally distant Africa was still engaged in overt and covert struggles. In South Africa, the British Empire was still entangled with the Boer guerrillas.
I don’t know. The establishment of concentration camps gave the Germans a handle, and cynicism was endless. In Nigeria, both sides are about to fight over oil. So-called German volunteers can often be seen in the anti-British uprisings of the indigenous people.
The relationship between the two countries is at an extremely dangerous edge.
Fortunately, Yang Feng suddenly gave William a big gift at this time, which made the emperor, whose eyes were blood-red from the oil, resist the desire to go into battle shirtless and start a fight with his grandmother.
"William, I'm really happy that you can come to my birthday. I haven't seen your father for more than two years. Although I always wanted to go to Europe again, it's a pity that there are too many things to do. I became the emperor.
On the contrary, there is not so much freedom." At the birthday party at the Beijing Palace, Emperor Yang said with emotion to the German Crown Prince Wilhelm, who came to deepen his relationship with him on the grounds of visiting China.
"Your Majesty, my father is also very much looking forward to meeting you again." Little William said with great respect, as if his father and Yang Feng were good friends.
"Next year! If I have time next year, I will visit my old friends. I just prepared a small gift for him." Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I wonder what kind of gift it is?" Waldzer, who came with little William, asked hurriedly. With his understanding of Yang Feng, he naturally understood that this guy was waiting for him to praise him!
"An oil field, an oil field in Germany." Emperor Yang said with a smile. He has been worried about a problem recently, what if Germany is cut off from oil? Although there are oil fields in Austria-Hungary and Romania to support it, the former is too
It won't help if it's too small. The latter is too dangerous. If the Russian army performs a little better in a fight, it can be cut off with a surprise attack. Once the oil is cut off, Germany will be completely destroyed. Although it is not World War II at this time, a large amount of crude oil is needed to maintain Germany.
Battle vehicles, but the problem is that during World War II, the German Navy was not as large as it is now. Battleships do not burn a few tons of oil for a single voyage, but hundreds or thousands of tons. Just the more than 30 ships designed by William
If the battleship goes out for a spin, the Austro-Hungarian Empire may lose its crude oil production for half a year.
What's more, Germany didn't have such a huge coal liquefaction capacity at this time, and the technology in this area hadn't even been invented yet! Except for these two places in Germany, the main crude oil supplies are currently overseas. Once the Mediterranean route is opened, they can't expect Balkan land transportation.
There is also no hope. There is also the Russian Black Sea Fleet on the Black Sea. Transportation to the Americas is in the hands of the British. Supply in any direction will be completely cut off. In this case, the only solution is to give them a local onshore oil field.
Yang Feng's words made the fox's hands tremble. He widened his eyes and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, are you telling the truth?"
"Earl, we are old friends who know each other well. Do you still question my integrity?" Yang Feng said lightly.
"No, no, Your Majesty, I don't question your meaning, but this is really surprising. You must know that many companies in our country have conducted a lot of exploration in the country. It can be said that they have explored almost all places where oil fields are thought to exist.
But so far we have found nothing." Waldzer said awkwardly, and what he said was indeed the truth. German capitalists have drilled countless wells in the country, but unfortunately they have not found even a drop of oil. This has almost become a problem in the international capital world.
What a joke.
Not only did you get nothing, Mustache also got nothing back then! Yang Feng said in his heart, Germany has oil fields. Although they are not many, they are enough. However, neither William nor Mustache has the technology. After all, the mining of two thousand meters deep wells is now impossible.
Gulf oil only has this capability, not to mention that the two thousand meters of German oil fields are covered by tens of meters of sea water.
"That's because German oil companies do not have this technology, and your oil fields are not on land." Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Not on land?" Now it was little William's turn to be surprised.
"Yes, not on land, but under the sea." Yang Feng said.
"How do you extract oil from an oil field under sea water?" Waldzer asked doubtfully.
'So I said you don't have this technology, but I do, but the problem now is, I don't want to share my offshore oil extraction technology with anyone, I think you should be able to understand this, so this oil field will be the Gulf
If the oil is operated independently, the German government will obtain at most 30% of the shares through the mining rights. You have no right to interfere with the operation. Of course, I can promise that all the crude oil mined in this oil field will be supplied to Germany. In fact, I can only supply Germany, regardless of
Neither here nor Sweden need German oil, because the cost of offshore extraction is higher than that of land, which is not cost-effective, so you may still need to provide me with subsidies.
In fact, the output of this oil field is not large. It can only produce more than one million tons per year at most. Considering Germany's current demand for 15 million tons per year, it is just a small and indispensable supplement. But
You must understand the strategic significance of this oil field. I think you don’t want all overseas crude oil supplies to be cut off in the event of a war, and Germany’s huge fleet to be parked in the military port to rust because there is no fuel, right?” Yang Feng said. (
