(TXT ) (TXT ) During this period of conflict, in addition to the six merchant ships of the United States, four ships of the British merchant Taikoo Shipping Company, two ships from India, one ship from France, one ship from Germany, and seven or eight ships that Li Dacheng did not want to deal with.

Li Dacheng can afford to wait, and the shipowners can afford to wait, but the Germans in Jiaoao can't afford to wait, and there are at least thirty merchant ships on the sea route, which will arrive in Jiaozhou Bay within twenty days, and fifty or sixty merchant ships will be blocked, which will cause war.

Therefore, the revision of the treaty is not an unpredictable thing, the hasty decision of the Jiaoao Governor's Office, let them fall into a deep political whirlpool, they passed a decree, the Qing merchants still do not trade with other countries, the merchants of various countries said that the Germans in Jiaoao frightened the Qing merchants, to drive the Germans out of Jiaoao.

Faced with such a situation, Lucas and the others couldn't sit still, and Rolmann, Torbor, and Lucas joined forces and came to the old wharf yard where Li Dacheng lived again.

"Guys, do you see what I'm capable of? In the Qing Dynasty, whether it is a government order or a military order, the forces behind me are enough to control it!

Again, you can't do anything without me!

Governor Rolman, aren't you trying to kill me? I didn't kill me, it's not my luck, but your blessing, kill me now, I'm afraid that it's almost the same as this plate of mutton, and it will be torn apart piece by piece! ”

Lucas and the others didn't come at the right time, just in time for Li Dacheng to have lunch, there was no other place, Li Dacheng met the three at the dinner table, just like Lucas last time, Li Dacheng didn't have a good word when he opened his mouth, pointed to a plate of mutton, and first humiliated Rolman, the governor of Jiaoao.

"Mr. Li, tell me about your conditions!"

Rolman was humiliated. Lucas's face is not very good, the current Rolmann represents the German Empire, and to humiliate Rolmann is to humiliate the German Empire.

"What? Feeling sick?

Lucas. The last time you spoke to me, I was just as uncomfortable.

Come! Rolman. Pour the wine for the master! ”

The strength of a big country and the demeanor of a country, Li Dacheng doesn't care at all, the political field is the same as a shopping mall, if you want to benefit, you have to compare it, and you have to show favor without interest, Li Dacheng doesn't have that idle mind, if you don't accept it, you will do it, and you will talk about it when you are done. This is the rule of the political arena, it is useless to say anything else!

Forcing Rolman to pour himself three bowls of wine, Li Dacheng finished his lunch, looked at the three people with a gloomy face, and after he smiled weirdly, he slowly opened his mouth.

"When Gui Belle was in the peace talks, he talked about the relationship between in-laws, and my conditions were simple, to get a German princess and be my concubine. You can get me another prince's title over there, won't we become a family?

What can't a family say behind closed doors? Just a Jiaoao. We really didn't see it. ”

In order to show goodwill, the translator Lucas brought this time is also an acquaintance of Li Dacheng, and he had contact with him last time, but Li Dacheng's words really made it difficult for this translator, and he was sweating profusely, and he was trembling, but he didn't dare to translate Li Dacheng's words.

"Second master. Don't dare to say that, you say so. If you don't get it right, you have to fight! ”

Listening to the translator's words, Li Dacheng smiled. What I want is to make Rolmann unable to come to power, as for marrying a German princess, it is not a lie, although the relationship between in-laws is not a serious relationship in a political setting, but it is always a relationship, isn't it? Even if she is not a princess, the daughter of the duke and marquis's family can do it, and with this relationship, many things are easier to do.

"What's your name? I think you're not bad, and you'll follow the second master in the future?

The German princess is a fart, you look at it carefully, Lao Tzu wants to build a palace of all nations in Jiaoao, specifically to accommodate these women, let's calculate when the time comes, Lao Tzu can accept a few foreign concubines! ”

Leaving Lucas and the three, Li Dacheng pried up the corner, Li Dacheng wanted Lucas to remember his temperament, he was a person who had revenge, and if he didn't give them a deep impression, he was afraid that they wouldn't have a long memory!

"Second master, the little Sun Guangcai, used to be a technician in Beiyang, German was learned from a German technician, after the first afternoon, Beiyang cut manpower, the small one has the ability to do the technician in general, but after being laid off, he came to Jiaoao to make a living!"

was asked by the second master about his name, Sun Guangcai also knew everything, although the second master's methods were a little cooler, but Sun Guangcai felt that following this second master had a future.

"Not bad! It just so happens that I am going to open a shipyard in Jiaoao in a few days, how about you be the general manager? ”

"The little one thanked the second master!"

"Good! My words, as they are! ”

With Li Dacheng's approval, Sun Guangcai didn't care about anything, and directly turned Li Dacheng's words to Lucas and the three, after listening, Rohrmann had an angry face, Torbol had a wry smile on his face, but Lucas had a deep face.

"Mr. Li, don't be joking, the marriage is okay, but it can't be a princess, the earl's daughter should be fine, this is what we want to see.

Tell us about your conditions! ”

Lucas still has some means, and after hearing this, Li Dacheng sorted out his words and said his conditions.

"1. I am in charge of the territory east of Jiaoao, and you are not allowed to cross the border!

Second, the territory to which Jiaoao belongs now, whether it is a wharf area or a villa area, must be open to me!

3. I want half of the shares of Shandong Railway Company and the mining company, and I also want to share the mining rights of Jiaoji Road. You pay the full amount, not my share; Joint venture factory, according to the distribution of equity funds!

Fourth, the money I invested in the shares, in lieu of silver, all your work in Shandong in the future, can and must be done by me!

5. Withdraw your road escort team and form a road guard team, I will do it, and you will be responsible for providing weapons and training! ”

Five conditions were proposed, and Li Dawei wanted to test the sincerity of the Germans, but Lucas's answer made him a little stunned.

"Yes! In addition to the need to negotiate the details of the shares, our side generally agreed to Mr. Li's conditions! ”

Is this a delaying tactic, or did the Germans really figure it out, and the conditions given by Li Dacheng seemed harsh, but they were of great benefit to the Germans in expanding their interests in China. Could it be that the decision has already been made in Germany?

Looking at Lucas a little uncertainly, Li Dacheng was also quickly calculating in his heart, this answer exceeded his expectations. The Germans suddenly became unpredictable, and the elusive enemy was the most terrifying. But for a while, Li Dacheng couldn't figure out the deep meaning of the German's nod.

In his plan, once the Germans agreed to such conditions, then Jiaoao in the future will be the place where he Li Dacheng will learn technology and seek development, and the benefits will be endless for him, and in his estimates, the Germans will not easily agree to such conditions. It can only be achieved through repeated struggles.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, but no matter what Li Dacheng thinks, he can't think of the deep meaning of the Germans, and since he has met his expectations, he can only nod.

"The throughput of Tabutou is limited, and the next half of the cargo ships can be unloaded at Jiaoao Wharf, but you can't charge me for it, and the fee has to come from the owner!

There is also the railway from Jiaoao to Jiaozhou, I only pay the cost freight! ”

"Yes!"

Lucas smiled and agreed to Li Dacheng's follow-up conditions. He was a little stunned again, could it be that the Germans also had a large amount of accumulated goods to dump?

There are only two reasons that can be found. The first is that the Germans don't want to offend all the powers, and the second is that they also have a large number of goods to dump, in addition, Li Dacheng can't find other reasonable reasons, but these two reasons, in Li Dacheng's opinion, are still not enough for Lucas to directly agree to his previous harsh conditions, the reason for this matter, it seems that it is still in Germany, have the Germans really changed their strategy towards the Far East?

1. Adjustment of a country's national policy. It's not that easy, and why?

With apprehension. Sent away the three Lucas, the wood that was in short supply in Jiaozhou Mansion. The timber brought by the American businessmen this time was not made according to Zhan Tianyou's size, the sleepers and building materials accounted for the vast majority, and there were a considerable number of logs, it seems that these ships were also in a hurry!

In addition to these, the Americans also brought more than 20 sawmill machines on their ships, all of which were brand new, looking at these lists, Li Dacheng was also speculating about the impact of the plague on the east coast of the United States, looking at these sawmill machinery, the plague should have hit the east coast of the United States hard, otherwise these machines should not have been sent here.

After receiving all the orders, Zhan Tianyou had another task to build a few sawmills, these sawmills, Li Dacheng only kept five, and the rest were placed at the wharf, no matter how cheap the imported timber is, it is more expensive than the timber of the three eastern provinces, and his amount of funds is also limited.

Taking this opportunity, transporting these sawmill machinery to the three eastern provinces can not only lay the foundation for future timber demand, but also provide conditions for the Zhenwei army to take root in the three eastern provinces, which is also a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

In addition to timber, a large amount of grain was also hoarded on the wasteland near the wharf, and the things that could not be stored for a long time such as soybean cake became the staple food of Jiaozhou during this time, corn, soybeans, sorghum, these grains that can be reprocessed were also stored near the wharf.

Two ships from India unloaded nearly 3,000 tons of lint, this thing can make Li Dacheng scratch his head, so much lint will not be consumed for a while and a half, although the price of lint is low, but the storage conditions of Tabutou are limited and there is no suitable warehouse, these things are stored for one more day, it is a loss of one day.

Although Li Dacheng also wants to build a yarn factory, the time for the construction of the yarn factory is not enough, and the time for the completion of the yarn factory will be pushed back to at least a year later, and the 3,000 tons of lint can only go to the south to find a home.

After Li Dacheng nodded, Tabutou and Jiaoao Wharf worked all night, 20 ships of more than 30,000 tons of goods, it took four days and four nights to unload, this speed Li Dacheng is not very satisfied, Tabutou has no cranes, Jiaoao's wharf only has two cranes, and it has not been used much, unloading basically relies on manpower, such cargo throughput, all rely on hundreds of thousands of strong people to carry their hands, the efficiency is too low! Moreover, in the future, it is impossible for these two wharves to gather more than 100,000 strong men, and a few thousand people at one wharf is considered a lot, if a few thousand people unload, the ship will have no time to leave.

In addition to unloading, Li Dacheng is also strictly preventing the plague, there are too many people gathered in Jiaozhou Mansion, once the plague breaks out, then the fun will be great, in addition to the daily drug epidemic prevention, Li Dacheng also made a hard requirement, whether it is the people in the freight yard, or the people at the construction site, or the people of Jiaozhou Mansion, they must use face towels when walking.

Among these cargo ships, there were also several carrying a certain amount of cotton cloth and cotton yarn, and after steaming and sterilizing, Li Dacheng changed all these cotton cloths into face towels.

All the epidemic prevention methods that can be used must be used, in addition, Li Dacheng also built several large isolation camps by the sea, people who work on the dock, eat and live in it, he Li Dacheng can spread the plague, foreign devils may not know, this point Li Dacheng still has this thought, he was put down by his own tricks, who to reason with?

I don't know if it's good luck, or the epidemic prevention is in place, during the period of unloading, whether it is Jiaozhou Mansion or Jiaoao, it is very stable, there is no plague epidemic, maybe this is the real plague blessing, right? (To be continued)
