Chapter 228: I Can't Do Without Me (6)
(TXT ) (TXT ) (TXT ) "You're good! This is a silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver, which is considered a meeting gift, tell Rolman, let him summon the engineers of the Jiaoji Railway, let's not be busy talking about Tabutou first. (TXT )”
took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his cuff as a reward, and Li Dacheng beckoned to Li Shuwen behind him.
"Second master."
"Shuwen, let people go to this place, and someone will kill them all!"
After listening to the interpreter's explanation, Rolmann said a few words to Tolbol, nodded, and agreed to Li Dacheng's conditions.
With the help of the Governor's Mansion to gather people, Li Shuwen also went out and passed on what Li Dacheng had just explained.
"Mr. Lee......"
"Call the second master!"
"Second master, the Governor wants to ask you, can you stop the matter of Tabutou?"
"Yes! But I think it's better for him to listen to my conditions! ”
After listening to the translator's words, Rolmann had a sneer on his face, while Tolbor had a serious face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Because of the Boxer Rebellion, the Jingu War and the subsequent peace treaty, during this time, the Jiaoji Railway was also suspended, and many engineers were wandering in Jiaoao.
Before the engineers of the Jiaoji Railway arrived, Li Cunyi finished his work, and after a while, the people outside sent in a wooden box.
"Whew...... This is the consequence of your incompetence just now, open the box and take a look! ”
's own things, the comprador of the Jiaoao Governor's Mansion also knows, after seeing the box for the first time. His face changed, and he stepped forward to open the box tremblingly, and when he saw the head inside, he screamed.
Li Dacheng didn't let him suffer too much, and reached out to break his neck. After a few months of recovery, although he still looks skinny, Li Dacheng feels that the strength of his hands is much stronger than before.
Not yet! Li Dacheng killed someone in the Jiaoao Governor's Mansion, after Rolman screamed. Li Dacheng was stopped at gunpoint by the heavily armed guards of the Governor's Palace.
"Huh...... Ask Rolman, do you still want to talk about things?
This is my internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty, and it would be better for Jiaoao not to interfere, if the railway engineers are summoned. Let's talk! ”
Just got up and looked at the head in the box, the translator was also frightened, the comprador is a little arrogant, but not to the end!
After translating Li Dacheng's words with a whoosh, the stern-looking Tolbor also argued with Rolmann, obviously, the two had different ideas.
Finally, Tolbol scolded him a few times. After driving the guards of the Governor's Palace out of the house, after taking a look at the contents of the box. Tolbor looked at Li Dacheng's eyes again, and he was full of jealousy.
Foreign devils also pay attention to judging the situation, Li Dacheng came with a few people, and killed people first without saying a word, Rolman's opinion was to detain Li Dacheng, but Torbol did not see it that way. He felt that Li Dacheng was very confident, and Rolmann should not act in such a hurry.
At last. Naturally, it was the one with the gun in his hand who had the final say, Acting Governor Rolman. Had to listen to the commander of the garrison, Tolbour.
The boxes and dead people were dragged down, and the German engineers also arrived, and after looking at the frightened translator, Li Dacheng opened his mouth.
"Tell them that I am a senior general of the Zhenwei Army!"
"Second Master ......"
"I tell you to turn it however you want, and you can do it."
Hearing the translator say the word senior general of the Zhenwei Army, many of the Germans present changed their faces, and Rolmann stood up even more suddenly, saying something to Torbol.
"Second master, the governor means to shoot you!"
"He doesn't dare, you continue to turn it over, and tell them that Lao Tzu came to Shandong to help them do things, and without Lao Tzu, they won't be able to do anything in Shandong in the future!
Don't believe me, they can kill me and try it!
If Lao Tzu dies today, the Jiaoji Railway will be demolished tomorrow! ”
Ignoring the argument between the governor and the commander, the interpreter took the plunge and loudly turned over Li Dacheng's words, as soon as the word Jiaoji Railway came out, the quarrel between the two Romans also stopped, the Jiaoji Railway is the key to Germany's interests in Shandong, involving the Jiaoji Railway, the life of a comprador is not enough to affect the overall situation.
"That's right! Shouldn't they invite someone again, ask the financier behind the Jiaoji Railway to come out, this is just the way to go! ”
Controlling the situation and directing the translator, only Li Dacheng knows how fragile his own strength is, the country is not successful, and the army is not successful, he came this time, in fact, he is on the pole to be a dog's leg, in exchange for interests for many things needed, the dog's leg may still not be enough to describe, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a traitor.
In the absurd negotiations, Li Dacheng came up and killed someone, and then he looked for an engineer and a bank representative, and when the negotiations started again, it was already evening.
"How long will it take for your Jiaoji Railway to be opened?"
After the people arrived, Li Dacheng led the negotiations, and although the Jiaoji Line has reached Jiaozhou Mansion, it is still early for the whole line to open to traffic!
"Three years!"
"I'll do it, a year! The same is true of the military port being planned, as long as you listen to me, it can be completed in a year! ”
The translation translated according to Li Dacheng's meaning, but the result was not very good, causing the hall to laugh, and the laughter was ridiculed at most.
"Don't believe me? You tell them this, I want to build a double-track railway between Jiaozhou City and Tabutou, the distance is about forty or fifty miles, as long as they sell me the materials of the Jiaoji Railway, it will be opened to traffic in a month!
Tabutou Wharf, two to four months to complete! ”
After hearing such a statement, the Germans also began to discuss, listening to the general meaning, Rolmann still wanted to deal with himself, and Tolbor and a few representatives of the Jiaoji line, as if they were all the way, were arguing with Rolmann about something.
However, in the end, interests prevailed, not to talk about the Jiaoji Railway, that is, the materials of the Forty-Mile Railway, this deal. It's enough for everyone to sit down and negotiate.
The Jiaoao colony, for Germany, is still only in and out, from occupation to construction. The Germans have invested at least tens of millions of marks, and although they are now in Jiaoao, there is some improvement, but the balance of income and expenditure is still unbalanced.
"Tell them, don't be afraid that Tabutou will take the advantage of Qingdao Port, as long as I am willing. Qingdao Port can be turned into the largest grain import port in the north.
If I wish, I can make the cargo throughput of Qingdao Port tenfold at any time!
The sale of forty miles of railway materials will not affect the construction of the Jiaoji Railway for more than a month. I can also show them what I'm capable of.
Agreed to this deal, the Jiaoji Railway can be opened to traffic within a year, if you don't agree, the Germans will be difficult to move an inch in Shandong in the future, if you don't believe it, I can let the Zhenwei army move, and the soldiers will be directed at Jiaoao. ”
At this point, Li Dacheng said that the negotiations were terminated. Many things have to be sorted out by the Germans themselves, and Li Dacheng can only live in Jiaoao and wait for news.
The place where Li Dacheng lived was naturally guarded by the German army, but the treatment was not bad. There are a few old German ladies here, but it's a pity that these German ladies look really bad, look at the back, and look at the back, the big waist looks real, but looking at the front is really affecting the appetite!
Think about it, too, a woman who can go to sea to beg for a living. How can you not be tough?
The next day, the Germans replied. said that he wanted to see the movement of the Zhenwei army, and heard such a reply. Although it is not clear who made this statement, Li Dacheng feels that this request must have been made by Tolbor, and Rolman is straighter and not as insidious as Tolbor.
Mobilizing the Zhenwei Army is not difficult for Li Dacheng, but if he really mobilizes more than 10,000 people from Qi Shiduo, he will not want to leave Jiaoao, once he can mobilize the Zhenwei Army that exceeds the number of the German army, the threat to Jiaoao is too great.
"Cunyi, you take a trip, let Qi Shiduo send a thousand men, preferably not very skilled recruits, and mobilize more than 10,000 people from Jiaozhou Mansion to let them go to Jiaoao."
If you don't transfer, you won't have integrity, and if you really transfer, you'll lose your life, transfer 1,000 people and 10,000 people, this is not a threat to Jiaoao, the soldiers and the people, the Germans should distinguish it, if you guess it, the Germans will be inseparable from him in the future.
It was another three days, Li Dacheng's Zhenwei army came to Jiaoao and quickly withdrew, and the Germans also came to a conclusion that the life and death of a comprador was not enough to affect the Germans' pursuit of interests in China.
The general office of the German Shandong Railway Company, Xi Xileba, is not enough to arouse Li Dacheng's interest in negotiations, this goods is similar to Zhan Tianyou's position, although it is called the general office, but in fact it is also a technical person in charge, and he is stupid to talk about business, I am afraid that no matter how generous the conditions promised by Li Dacheng, this is also blind to gold and jade.
The people from the Jiaoao Governor's Mansion did not talk, and the people from the railway company were not qualified to talk, so they refused to negotiate with Xileba, and Li Dacheng was also waiting for someone who was qualified and weighty to talk to him.
The Jiaoao Governor's Office is in charge of government affairs and military affairs, the railway company is in charge of technology and operation, and the real decision in the Jiaoao territory is the Deqing Company, a syndicate composed of banks and multinational companies, and they are the one who has the final say.
On the fourth day, the main lord appeared, a German who called himself Lucas, who could speak a few words of Chinese, but still communicated in German and English, Li Dacheng did not have the heart to communicate with them in English, get a translator, he spoke more easily.
"Lucas, are you the one who has the final say? I don't like the current Acting Governor Rolman, he's an obstacle to our cooperation! ”
After the two sides introduced each other, Li Dacheng did not hide that Rolmann, the acting governor, was too domineering, and he was only a soldier, not suitable for participating in politics, whether it was for Li Dacheng or the Germans in Jiaoao, people like Rohrmann were not suitable to sit in the position of governor of Jiaoao.
"Mr. Li, let's talk about cooperation first!"
After listening to the translator's words, Li Dacheng looked at Lucas with a deep face, this is also a difficult master to deal with!
"Yes!
Deutsche has the qualifications to cooperate with me, but whether I have the qualifications to cooperate with Jiaoao still needs to be verified!
How to verify it? Verify it with practical actions!
In previous contact, I have heard that your planned completion time of the Jiaoji Railway will take at least three years, and I can help you complete this task in about a year.
I'm afraid you don't believe this, so the railway from Jiaozhou City to Tabutou needs to be repaired! Tabutou Wharf also needs to be repaired!
One month the railway is completed and opened to traffic, and at most four months, the wharf can dock ships, this is my actual action. ”
After listening to the translation's statement, Lucas was noncommittal about Li Dacheng's conditions, and Li Dacheng waited for a while before Lucas spoke.
"This will touch our interests in Shandong!"
"What about another Jiaoyi railway?"
"Is it the same as the Jiaoji Railway?"
"What do you think? There is no right of way, no mining rights, you only have the right of passage! ”
The Jiaoji Railway is a treaty railway, thirty miles along the railway, the Germans have the priority of mining, there is a peace treaty, this Li Dacheng can not fight, but the future railway will not be like this, in Jiaoao these days, Li Dacheng looked at a few maps, but also learned some German ideas.
The Jiaoji Railway and the Jiaoyi Railway were the invasion plans formulated by Richthofen of the German Far East High Staff for Germany, and the Jiaoji Railway was implemented. (To be continued)
