(TXT ) (TXT ) (TXT ) "Without the right of way and mining rights, the Jiaoyi Railway will be meaningless to us!"

Listening to Lucas's reply, Li Dacheng smiled, what do you think? After a bloody battle in Jingu and a plague, the right of way and mining rights of this railway will no longer be so easy to hand over to foreign devils.

"Is that really the case? If you are bent on the peace railway, it will be difficult to complete the Jiaoji railway! ”

"Mr. Li, are you threatening us?"

"Alas...... Sort of!

Forget it, let's not talk to you about this first, let's talk about business first, do you sell the materials used to build the railway?

When I build the railway, I also let you see my influence in Shandong and even in the Qing Dynasty, when I build the railway, whether it is your railway or the mine, you German army, you can't take half a step in Jiaoao! ”

After listening to Li Dacheng's words, it is difficult to translate there, look at this and look at that, the translator doesn't know what to say, what is this to talk about! Clearly it is a threat.

"Just translate it as I said, and the wording might as well be more drastic."

With Li Dacheng's click, the translator completely translated Li Dacheng's words to Lucas, and after hearing this, the smile on Lucas's face was a little contemptuous.

"Don't believe me?

If you don't believe me, let's try!

Sell me the materials first, and I'll show you Lao Tzu's methods! ”

With the same contemptuous smile in return, Li Dacheng still clung to the matter of railway materials.

After hearing this, Lucas still had a contemptuous smile on his face, and asked the translator to give Li Dacheng a number.

"Five million marks is too much!

So be it!

Your materials are only about 1.5 million marks, if I can finish it in a month. All materials, 1.5 million marks, if I can't finish it in a month, all materials 5 million marks!

Compared to our future cooperation, three million marks are not worth mentioning at all. Lucas, what do you think of such conditions? ”

A single line of about 80 miles of railway, five million marks of material cost, Lucas this is the lion's big opening, Jiaoji railway Jiaozhou section, the cost of a mile railway. It's about 50,000 marks, 15,600 taels of silver, and this has to be paid a small half of the labor cost, and the material cost alone is 5 million marks, and Lucas is obviously killing people. The material cost of the one-mile railway is only about 20,000 marks, and the price offered by Li Dacheng is a fair price.

"Two million marks! However, you have to pay five million marks in a lump sum, and if you complete it within a month, three million marks will be returned. ”

nodded, and approved Li Dacheng's bet. Lucas added a little, two million marks, Li Dacheng is still acceptable.

"Not necessarily! So be it! Five million marks, I will give it. If it is completed within a month, the remaining three million marks will be exchanged for firearms at market prices, and this money should be able to buy fifteen thousand Mauser rifles.

Your escort will not need it anymore. You can refer to the British in Weihaiwei to build a Huayong battalion road protection team. I'm going to plan this, this batch of guns. Use it as a weapon for the Guardians! ”

Lucas agreed, and Li Dacheng added another condition, the rest of the money was exchanged for a rifle, others may not have this ability, but Deqing Company has it, let alone a rifle, even a warship can also become their commodity.

"We'll talk about this condition later!"

"Don't wait for later, during the construction of the railway, you will know what to do, no need to talk about it later, you will nod your head quickly, Rolman's side will also be anxious soon, I don't like him!"

The two negotiated business, the payment was carried out in Shanghai, and several telegrams were sent back and forth, and Li Dacheng easily completed the payment.

There was no peace agreement and no receipt, Li Dacheng transferred five million marks to the Deutsch-Hua Bank in Shanghai, Lucas asked Li Dacheng if he was afraid of them breaking the contract, Li Dacheng smiled and gave Lucas a reply, saying that they would soon know if they could and should break the contract.

Back in Jiaozhou, Li Dacheng wanted to take the train to transport materials, and after seeing the mountains of railway materials in the dock freight yard, Li Dacheng was also making up his mind, but unfortunately the railway thing, he didn't plan to play it now, the time was a little earlier, and Gui Shun's position in the court was more stable, and the errand of the railway was still done, and now I was afraid that Sheng Xuanhuai in the south would not be able to sit still.

For the transportation of materials, it is necessary to load the car first, and a train stops at the port yard and it takes a day to load the goods, which is obviously unsatisfactory.

Waiting for the loading time, Li Dacheng also walked around the station, there are a total of six locomotives in Jiaoao, 100 trailers and more than 40 carriages, if you plan well, it will take more than ten days to transport all the materials, it is also possible.

By the way, he bought the first train, Li Dacheng took his own train from Jiaoao to Jiaozhou City, and he found Zhan Tianyou, Yang Shiqi, and Qi Shiduo as soon as he returned.

"Sincerely, organize 10,000 strong men, go to Jiaoao to load, within ten days, the required materials will be transported to Jiaozhou, the railway planning, to hurry, ten days later, let's lay the foundation! Within twenty days, the railway must be completed!

Xingcheng, the matter of the strong men in the four mansions of Jiaolai Qingyi, you still have to make a decree, how many people are there this time, and how many people does Lao Tzu want!

Qi Shiduo, gathered the Jiaolai defenders, and sent all the Germans in Jiaolai back to Jiaoao, Jiaoji Railway and mines along the line, and did not allow any Qing people to contribute to the Germans, and if they wanted to make a living, they would come to Jiaozhou Mansion! Railways and mines, you should also look at them!

In addition, 3,000 men and horses will be stationed on the first line of Jiaoao, and we will only guard the boundaries that belong to us as demarcated by the treaty, and no foreigners will be allowed to enter or leave the period from the formation of the defense line to the completion of the railway! ”

Listening to Li Dacheng's domineering orders, Zhan Tianyou and Qi Shiduo responded with their fists, and Yang Yang Shiqi was full of bitterness, is this going to war?

"Second master, foreigners don't provoke, how can we provoke first?"

Sending the Germans back to Jiaoao, and not allowing the Germans to start construction of railways and mines, which means going to war! Yang Shiqi can't afford such a responsibility.

"Xingcheng, Lao Tzu is to set an example for officials in the world in Jiaozhou, since the Jingu War. We can be on an equal footing with the devils of the oceans!

When it comes to building railways, Lao Tzu doesn't allow anyone to stand in the way, and you are the same, blocking Lao Tzu's way, and Lao Tzu doesn't care who he is. Kill him!

If you feel that you can't do it, let Yuan Shikai come! ”

As said, whether it is repairing rivers, roads, or trading, Li Dacheng regards it as a war, and he has taken out the strategy, who does not implement it well. He will be court-martialed.

With Li Dacheng's order, Zhan Tianyou's side made rapid progress, and in seven days, the materials needed for the railway were transported to the Jiaozhou freight yard. The Germans, on the other hand, are experiencing a harsh winter, since the battle of Jingu, the Germans have suffered setbacks on the whole line in Shandong, the railway has been suspended, the mine has been suspended, and the only thing that can run in Jiaoao is the train that transports materials.

The engineers and road guards sent by the Germans were also sent back to Jiaoao by the Zhenwei Army because of the First Battle of Jingu. The Germans in Jiaoao were already shrinking their defenses, and there were not many troops outside, and the most was a squad of a few dozen people. Surrounded by thousands of people, they naturally will not resist.

In addition, Qi Shiduo's men and horses also built positions in the territory of the Qing Dynasty as agreed in the "Jiaoao Border Contract" and blocked the leased land of Jiaoao.

The news did not spread, and most of the Jiaoji Railway and various mines were in the process of suspension. The remaining technicians and escorts numbered only a few hundred, and there was no armed conflict. No one spread the news, and this matter became a tacit matter between Li Dacheng and the Jiaoao authorities.

After the materials are ready. The whole section of the rubber tower railway began to be constructed, for the name of the rubber tower railway, Li Dacheng does not support it, his statement is the dock branch, so it sounds a lot smaller, get a rubber tower railway, spread out, people don't know how to speculate on the scale of the railway!

In the first day, nearly 20 miles of gravel were laid, about five or six miles of sleepers, and more than two miles of rails.

In order to speed up the speed, Zhan Tianyou also took a trick and laid the railway directly on the original road, with at least 150,000 people on the whole line, according to the order of ramming the foundation, laying gravel, putting sleepers, and putting rails, the railway will have a rough appearance in seven days.

In the remaining eight days, Zhan Tianyou took a small number of technicians, ate and lived on the railway line, and completed the adjustment of the railway little by little.

In the next five days, Zhan Tianyou let the heavily loaded trains go back and forth on the railway, and after making the final adjustments, the Jiaota Railway was delivered.

"Sincerely, good! Twenty days is twenty days, which is good! ”

Under the witness of the Germans, at the moment of the delivery of the railway, Li Dacheng did not hesitate to praise, this time the work was done beautifully!

"Second master, this time to build the road, there are too many tricks, the real road repair is more difficult than this, but the second master said that the whole section of the construction method, but gave me a good way to quickly repair the railway, as long as there are more people who can repair the road, a railway of hundreds of miles a year, it is not difficult to repair!

Second master, although this railway is clever, but it is the most suitable for Tabutou use, such a railway is easy to maintain, once there is a tide, even if the whole line is damaged, the repair is also eye-catching. ”

Although the wharf branch line was built hastily and roughly, Zhan Tianyou has also demonstrated that Jiaozhou is close to the coast, and there will be a big tide every five to seven years......

"Good! Good! In the short period of three or five years, the long is seven or eight years, and the breakwater will inevitably be built in Jiaozhou Bay. ”

Whether it is a wharf or a railway, it is temporary for Li Dacheng, and how to rebuild it depends on the future development, perhaps relying on Tabutou Port, where thousands of hectares of wasteland can be turned into an industrial zone, and in that case, it will be necessary to build a large infrastructure.

Now for Li Dacheng, it is more important to subdue the German devils, with the railway built in 20 days, with the pressure of the Zhenwei army, I believe that Lucas will also make a decision that is in line with the interests of both sides, and it will only be the Germans who will suffer.

Zhan Tianyou's dock branch line was completed in 20 days, and Li Dacheng directly ordered the Zhenwei army to lift the blockade of Jiaoao and along the Jiaoji Road, and the Zhenwei army was not enough to deter the entire Germany, at best, it could threaten the interests of Germany in Shandong.

If the Germans in Jiaoao want dignity, there is naturally no way to talk about cooperation, and the next thing will be tricky, and if you want to deter the German devils again, you can only use small-scale means of war.

If the Germans take into account their interests, Li Dacheng's side will have a great opportunity, and Li Dacheng has no way of knowing what choice the Germans will make for dignity and interests.

These two choices, for the Germans, can only be half-opened, the previous Kaiser was too arrogant, just rush to that arrogant appearance, the probability of agreeing to cooperate is not large, but the benefits given by Li Dacheng are also real, in a short period of time to build the Jiaoji railway, the Jiaoao colony can enter a period of rapid development.

Li Dacheng couldn't help the Germans decide, he could only force the Germans to choose the path he pointed. (To be continued)
