(TXT ) (TXT ) (TXT) together with the transportation of materials, the construction of the Tabutou branch line took less than a month, after the opening of the dock branch line, the Germans also quickly reacted, XT. 》し

Such an invitation, Li Dacheng naturally will not agree, before the fangs, he can go to Jiaoao, now the cooperation has not been carried out, the relationship between the two is in a very unstable state, now Li Dacheng to the Germans is far greater than the benefits, at this time stupidly into the enemy camp, it is really looking for death.

Even if most Germans agreed to cooperate, what if a few blind militants assassinated him? Open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, and no one dares to guarantee that they are foolproof.

But Li Dacheng's purpose in doing this is to cooperate, how can he cooperate without negotiation? Li Dacheng can't go to Jiaoao, but the Germans can come to Tabutou.

The newly built Tabutou wharf is more than ten miles away from the freight yard, counting the extended tidal flats, the naval artillery cannot hit the old wharf freight yard, and it should be a good choice for both sides to negotiate in the old wharf freight yard.

After the news was transmitted to Jiaoao, Lucas's reaction was very fast, and the day after the completion of the railway, he took a gunboat with the commander of the Jiaoao garrison, Torbol, to the freight yard of the old wharf in Tabutou.

"Like the Jiaoji Railway, through the Jiaoyi Railway's plan, we can cooperate!"

In the Tanah Lot Temple in the old dock yard, the first thing Lucas said when he sat down was this, he said it in English, Li Dacheng heard it clearly, this abacus is really exquisite!

"Lucas, do you know why I asked you Germans to cooperate?

The tea is good, Lu'an melon slices, you can't drink it in your hometown, let's talk while drinking. ”

After asking the question, Li Dacheng pushed the tea cup in front of him. Motioning for Lucas to drink tea.

"We can bring you technology and civilization!"

After Mr. Lee's words were told to Lucas by an interpreter, Lucas replied in English, apparently wanting a direct conversation between the two.

"Perhaps?

But the most important thing is that if you want to gain benefits in the Far East, you can't do it without me!

You can try not to cooperate with me, maybe after three or five months, you will know that Jiaozhou Bay is not the Dorado you call it, but a bottomless quagmire hell! ”

You can't do it without me! This is Li Dacheng's bold words, the word Dorado. It was also the last time he went to Jiaoao, which he heard that the German means the ideal El Dorado, and it is ridiculous for the arrogant Germans to have this idea. It is no longer the age of Marco Polo, but the age of the demons dancing, the Golden Country, where in this world? If you want to get gold without paying enough benefits, what you see is bound to be blood, fire and hell!

"Are you not afraid of war? For the sake of the interests of the empire in the Far East, we do not mind launching another expedition. Governor Rolman. It is a staunch supporter of this argument! ”

Threats are often the time when the outside is strong and the middle is dry. The cruel words to save face are not feasible most of the time. Hearing Lucas's threat, Li Dacheng smiled disdainfully and gave him an account.

"Now in the world. Which country would most like to see your German Empire send troops to the Far East?

United Kingdom! Britain that has just gone through the Boer War!

There is French power in the southwest of the Qing Dynasty, and you cannot use troops in the southwest; The Yangtze River port is the territory of the British, and you can't use soldiers; The places where you can use soldiers are Jiaozhou Bay and Bohai Bay.

The only place where you can enter the Bohai Bay is the area of Jingu, the last time your expeditionary force suffered a big loss in Jingu, and if you fight again, I'm afraid you won't choose Jingu, right?

Jiaozhou Bay is your only choice, you have Jiaoao as an outpost, and Jiaozhou Bay is also the most suitable place for you to attack.

If you come across the sea, the British will not stop you, if you want to colonize and conquer, you will have to land, once you land, no matter how powerful the battleship is, it will lose its effect, and without the advantage of the battleship, how much advantage does your German Empire's army have over my Qing army?

There is definitely an advantage in artillery fire, but it is difficult to say whether this advantage can last or not!

Once your expeditionary force lands, the Zhenwei army will be your main enemy, and if I lead the Zhenwei army to fight, I will lead you to the interior of Shandong little by little, like fishing, and surround you without annihilating you, nor do I negotiate peace with you, dragging you into the country, and I have to increase my troops again.

Compared with the number of people in my Qing Dynasty, you can't do it, I have a population of 40,000 in the Qing Dynasty, and you have tens of millions?

In the previous plague, we exchanged at least 300,000 rifles for medicinal materials, plus the previous Zhenwei Army, we had at least 500,000 rifles in our hands, and this is just a Zhenwei Army.

How many men will your expeditionary force come at one time? With the battle of Jingu, at least 50,000 people! These 50,000 people are surrounded, how many more will come? Or at least fifty thousand! And the ending of the next 50,000 is the same as the previous 50,000, because you have to land!

Once you go ashore, you will face the crowd tactics of the Zhenwei army, 50,000, 50,000 is 100,000, and how many reinforcements will you send next time? 100,000 or 200,000?

The longer the war lasts, the more unfavorable it will be to your German Empire, and the Zhenwei Army will drag you down little by little in Shandong, dragging you to death the German Empire, which has not been established for a long time, and presumably the British are also willing to see the collapse of the German Empire.

Lucas, think about it, what role will the British play in this war?

War? After seeing such a trap, do you dare? ”

After Li Dacheng finished settling this account, the confident smile on Lucas's face was gone, this is not empty words, if Germany marches into the Far East on a large scale, it will inevitably have a conflict of interest with the British, and Li Dacheng's calculation of this account for Lucas is very reasonable.

Presumably, the British would also like to see the German Empire, which threatened their position, mired in the quagmire of the Far East.

"Then why don't you work with the British? You might get more out of working with them, right? ”

Li Dacheng brought out the British, Lucas also brought out the British, Li Dacheng did not want to cooperate with the British, but did not dare, once he cooperated with the British, the country would not be far from the British colony.

"We have an old saying here. It's called a shopkeeper, the relationship between the British and me is like this, cooperating with the British, although I can get certain benefits, but the British will not let me get unlimited benefits from them, when I get benefits from others to a certain extent, they will threaten my personal safety, which is also in line with our old saying, called crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!

The British already have fixed interests in China, and you Germans are different. Your interests in China are still very thin, and with my cooperation, I can quickly get your market in China. Expanding to the entire north, Shandong, Zhili, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Yili, and the three eastern provinces will be the market for your domestic merchants.

Why, you ask? Because I have the Zhenwei Army behind me, where the power of the Zhenwei Army has developed, it is my territory, such as the current Shandong!

Work with me. I can make your interests in China. to get rapid development; On the contrary, do not cooperate with me. I can also make it difficult for your interests in China to develop.

So, you Germans can't do without me!

Lucas. Think about it! A Sileba who plans the Jiaoji Railway can get the medal of the Empire, and you cooperate with me. It can open up the huge northern market of the Far East, and such a feat is comparable to Richthofen!

Back at home, you too can become your Emperor's Far Eastern High Advisor! ”

When personal interests are mixed with national interests, this person will definitely be a patriot who resolutely supports national interests, and Lucas is like this now, but Lucas did not let Li Dacheng's ** soup be confused.

"Mr. Li, why can't we cooperate according to the model of the Jiaoji Railway?"

Predatory cooperation, the cost is minimal, Lucas is naturally more optimistic about the Jiaoji railway, there is no right of way and mining rights of the railway, the Germans' income, will undoubtedly shrink significantly.

"Huh......

Is that a collaboration? That's plunder! From now on, it will be difficult to carry out such a plundering method, and the battle of Jingu is a turning point!

Do you know why I am working with you Germans? Because of your new colonial powers, can't our two countries strike a balance between our development and your benefit? Is a new kind of state-to-state relations formed?

Plunder will eventually lead to revolt! If you want to surpass the British Empire, it is impossible to surpass the old path of the British Empire, and if you want to surpass, you must go out of your own way!

The cooperation between our two countries, your German Empire, can be regarded as an experiment in the formation of a new type of international relations, and if successful, you may replace the British Empire as the first power in Europe!

Such an argument is raised, Lucas, I am afraid that your status in the country will also climb steadily, right? ”

Li Dacheng's remarks not only attracted Lucas, but also made Torbol a little eager to try, this insidious German admiral, in the words of the Qing Dynasty officialdom, is a man with a high chest, listening to the conversation between the two has been silent, after Lucas fell into contemplation, gave Li Dacheng a look of implicit meaning.

After seeing this look, Li Dacheng nodded slightly, took a few sips of hot tea from the teacup, moistened his throat, and waited for Lucas to speak again.

"Mr. Li, I have gained too much today, can you give me a few days?"

Of course not, the iron should be struck while it is hot, it is not enough to pull a Lucas into the water, Torbol should be a good partner to work with, and it should also be a very good choice to pull him into the water.

"In addition to this, the Huayong Battalion Road Escort Team, which I mentioned last time, should also be included in this system.

The combat power of the British Huayong Battalion, you must have heard and seen, in view of the riots in India, it is risky to directly control the colonial army, I think you should still cooperate with people like me, I can completely control an army, as long as there are interests in cooperation between us, my army is also your army!

Mr. Tolbol is the commander of the garrison in Jiaoao, and he must have a unique view on this issue.

There is another point that will affect our cooperation, that is, the current Governor of Jiaoao, Rolman, when we cooperate, I don't want radical Rolman to appear in the list, radical soldiers, many times will not take into account the interests of businessmen! ”

After taking advantage of the situation and entering the water, Li Dacheng continued to observe the expressions of the two, judging from their expressions, these two people should have been persuaded by themselves, with the full efforts of these two people, it must be very smooth to lobby the German government, right?

"Mr. Li, what kind of cooperation will we have in the future?"

"Haha...... That's too much, too much!

I want to build the longest canal in the world, and this is already underway; I also want to build the longest railway in Asia; construction of Asia's largest steel mill; the largest cotton textile mill; the largest shipyard; The largest machine shop and so on and so forth......

When you work with me, you'll know how much benefit I can bring you!

If you don't cooperate with me, it's still the same sentence, you can't do without me! ”

Drawing a big pie, the end of the fairly pleasant negotiations, Li Dacheng knows, if you want to cooperate deeply with the Germans, it also takes time to verify, Lucas's reply should not be very fast, if you don't get it right, Jiaoji Road will become a condition for Germany's domestic inspection and cooperation, and if you really want to fully cooperate with the Germans, I am afraid it will take at least half a year, and when they have confidence in their own ability, many cooperation will be carried out in depth.
