Tilpitz approved the drawings of the three sets of British warships, so the cooperation between the traverser and Germany could also be carried out, so Qin Zheng said to Heinrich: "Your Excellency, when do you think our formal meeting will be held?"

Heinrich said: "Political Commissar Qin, it's not too early today, I think it will be held tomorrow morning." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, we have prepared a room for the two of you in the hotel, so the two of you will have a good rest in Qingdao tonight, but the two of you are secretly visiting Qingdao, so I won't send the two of you." ”

Heinrich said again: "Commissar Qin, I have one more request. ”

Qin Zheng said: "Please speak." ”

Heinrich said: "I would like to be able to meet Marshal Waldsea, and I hope that your people will be able to make it easier." ”

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, we have arranged for Marshal Wadsey, Rear Admiral Falkenhais, Rear Admiral Gehr, Rear Admiral Schwarzhofer, as well as Linderot, Hervik, Yankel and other captains to stay in the hotel, and after His Excellency the Prince and General Tirpitz arrived at the hotel, we can meet them." ”

Heinrich was also a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect this group of overseas Chinese to be very generous, so he nodded and said, "Then thank you." ”

In fact, after receiving the news that the German envoy was coming to visit Qingdao, the traversers moved Wadsey, Falkenhesith, Gehr, Schwarzhof, and several captured warship captains out of the prisoner of war camp and arranged accommodation for them. After all, these people were all high-ranking officials in the German army, and treating them well was also a sign of the goodwill of the traverser to the German side. Of course, the living conditions, conditions, and food of the new residence were much better than those in the prisoner of war camp, and there was no need to participate in manual labor, but the movement was still restricted, so Waldsea and the others were naturally happy.

After the German envoy arrived in Qingdao, the traveler estimated that the German envoy would definitely ask to meet with these people, so they were also happy and generous, so they simply arranged for them to meet in the hotel where the German envoy was going to stay.

The hotel where Heinrich and Tirpitz stayed was the Prince Heinrich Hotel named after Heinrich, because the sailors' club led by Heinrich was still under construction, so this hotel is now the best hotel in Qingdao, and it is naturally used to receive German envoys.

After staying in the hotel, Heinrich couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, the last time he came to Qingdao, the hotel had just opened, the decoration in the hotel had hardly changed, even most of the staff, as well as the German manager, and the management personnel had not changed, but a company of People's Army guards was arranged on duty in the hotel. But now Qingdao is no longer a German colony, so Heinrich can't help but feel that things are wrong.

After staying at the hotel, Heinrich did not immediately meet with Waldsey and the others, but called the German manager who stayed in the hotel to inquire about the situation, because Heinrich often visited and knew that in other countries, it was not friendly to the country, and the room he stayed in would be monitored. Of course, the monitoring technology of this era is still very backward, and the general means can only be to use iron pipes and other equipment in adjacent rooms or upstairs and downstairs.

However, the words of the hotel manager made Heinrich feel at ease, it turned out that after the traveler occupied Qingdao, the hotel was not renovated, although the room was inspected before the German envoy stayed in the hotel, but there was no equipment for listening, and now only the German envoy stayed in the entire hotel, and there was no one else, so it is certain that no one listened.

Heinrich still didn't believe it, could overseas Chinese really be so relieved of themselves? So he checked around his room, upstairs and downstairs, and sure enough, no one lived there, and it was confirmed that the manager's words were not wrong. Heinrich was completely relieved at this time, and it seemed that this group of overseas Chinese really wanted to cooperate with Germany. Therefore, he hurriedly sent a telegram to Germany, reporting on today's talks with overseas Chinese, as well as Tirpitz's appraisal of the drawings, and at the same time explaining his own attitude, believing that Germany should cooperate with overseas Chinese.

Then Heinrich and Tirpitz met with Waldsey and others, and listened to their speeches and exchanges with overseas Chinese, as well as their attitudes and suggestions for talks with overseas Chinese.

In fact, Heinrich didn't know that the traverser disdained to use the inferior eavesdropping methods of this era, after all, the traverser had a large number of high-tech listening equipment, which could carry out long-distance eavesdropping.

Of course, Waldsea and the others hope that Germany can negotiate cooperation with the time-travelers, although their living conditions are now improving, but after all, they are still prisoners of the ranks, and only when the German countries and the time-travelers negotiate cooperation, they can hope to return to Germany. Otherwise, sooner or later they will be sent back to the prisoner of war camp, of course, they do not advocate unconditionally agreeing to the demands of overseas Chinese, after all, the handling of overseas Chinese is not very good now, so Heinrich and Tirpitz might as well make good use of this to put pressure on overseas Chinese and strive for greater interests for Germany.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Heinrich received a reply from Germany, and Germany agreed to cooperate with overseas Chinese in military and economic fields, but put forward two requirements for Heinrich and Tirpitz, one is to get three sets of drawings of British warships, and the sooner the better, because after receiving Heinrich's telegram, Wilhelm II had already ordered the temporary suspension of the third ship of the Vicchersbach-class battleships. The construction of the No. 4 ship was to be carried out after studying the drawings of the three sets of British warships, and some modifications would be made to the original design of this class of warships in order to further improve this type of warship, while the five ships of the other type of Frederick III battleship had all been launched, but the last three were still being outfitted and could not be changed; second, to ensure the interests of Germany in Qingdao, which were economic interests. After all, Germany also knows that Qingdao's sovereignty will definitely not be returned, and it can only safeguard Germany's economic interests in Qingdao as much as possible.

Early the next morning, Qin Zheng had a formal meeting with Heinrich and Tirpitz.

Although the two sides have already expressed the intention of cooperating, the negotiations are still very difficult, after all, both sides want to do their best to win more interests for themselves, so naturally they will not make concessions lightly.

First of all, there was a bitter dispute between the two sides over the delivery of the three sets of drawings for the British warship, and the German side demanded that the traversers hand over the three sets of drawings to the envoy immediately after the talks, so that they could take them back to Germany.

Of course, the traverser will not agree to this condition, after all, these three sets of drawings are the biggest bait for these to lure Germany, and now Germany has not made any efforts and has not done anything, so it can be given to Germany so easily. Therefore, Qin Zheng's request was that he must wait for the official end of the war in China before handing over these three sets of drawings to Germany, and the German side needed to do its best to bring about the end of the war in China.

However, Heinrich could not agree to the conditions of the traverser, although the Chinese battlefield could not be fought now, but to say that the war was officially over, it was still far away, because Heinrich knew very well that the negotiation conditions of the traverser were far from the goals of various countries, and it was difficult for this negotiation to have a result, so Germany would have to wait until the year of the monkey to get these three sets of drawings, and the German shipyard was still waiting, so Heinrich only promised that the German Congress would try its best to promote the official end of the war in China during the negotiations, but could not guarantee it, and these three sets of drawings must be given to Germany first。

As a result, after a war of words, the two sides finally gave in to each other, and Germany promised to do its best to promote the success of the Shanghai negotiations, and after the Shanghai negotiations were over, whether they were successful or not, the traverser would first hand over the drawings of the old man-star battleship to Germany, and Tirpitz would bring them back to Germany, while the remaining two sets of drawings would have to wait for the official end of the war in China before they could be handed over to Germany.

Of course, the traverser also put forward a plan for dismantling the center, that is, if the Shanghai negotiations were not successful, but Germany unilaterally announced its withdrawal from the Eight-Nation Coalition and the traverser for negotiations, then the traverser could also hand over the remaining two sets of drawings to Germany. If Germany unilaterally announces its withdrawal from the Eight-Nation Alliance, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Eight-Nation Alliance, which has suffered a great loss in its own strength, and will even trigger a linkage effect and cause the Eight-Nation Alliance to dissolve.

Heinrich and Tirpitz listened, they also looked at each other and smiled bitterly, although Germany does not have a single soldier in the Eight-Nation Alliance, but if it does what the traverser asks, it will put Germany under heavy diplomatic pressure, and Bi Jing is tantamount to Germany taking the lead in betraying the alliance of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Although every country in the Eight-Nation Alliance knows that this alliance is actually unsustainable, no one wants to be the first betrayer, after all, the first betrayer will be morally immense. At this time, Germany was not popular on the European continent, and it was originally under great diplomatic pressure, and if it was the first betrayer, it would bear even greater diplomatic pressure.

So Heinrich tried to make a last-ditch effort, saying that Germany could sign a secret treaty with the traversers, and only keep the name of the Eight-Nation Alliance, but would never send a single soldier to participate in any action of the Eight-Nation Alliance. But Qin Zheng immediately rejected Heinrich's proposal, insisting that Germany must clearly announce its withdrawal from the Eight-Nation Alliance in order to be counted. Because for the traverser, only in this way can the Eight-Nation Alliance be dismantled.

However, Qin Zheng also knew the difficulties of Germany, so he said that the traveler could assist Germany in other diplomatic efforts, and strive to persuade some countries that have actually begun to waver, such as the United States, France, Japan and other countries, to urge them to withdraw from the Eight-Nation Alliance together with Germany, and Germany has a huge influence on Austria-Hungary, if it can unite three or four countries to withdraw together, then Germany will not have to bear the pressure.
