Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Bauer was taken aback in his heart and asked, "Recruiting military instructors?" ”

Zhang Yi nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Bauer." It is true that the blue wolf under my command can now be called the elite force second to none, even if it is placed among the military powers of Europe and the United States. It's just that this elite is only suitable for special tasks. As for the average combat unit, its combat power is far inferior to that of European countries, and even more so compared to your army. I need some outstanding military instructors in your country to help me train a group of officers who know how to coordinate infantry and artillery and modern military management, so as to provide enough military personnel for the military innovation of the Qing Dynasty. Only you can help me. ”

Bauer hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Jianzhi, I am not completely sure about this matter, I will do my best." ”

Zhang Yi laughed and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, Mr. Bauer. Now, the Sino-Japanese war must take some time to end, after the end, I am likely to be appointed by the imperial court as a Xinjiang minister, in charge of a province, when the time comes, these things will slowly unfold, you just need to help me pay attention to it after I go back, pay attention to military command talents, military engineering talents, I need them, and some scientists, as long as they are willing to come to China, you can call them for me. ”

Bauer smiled, "Okay, Mr. Kenzhi, your appetite is big enough." ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "What I am anxious about now is that you should mass produce this batch of weapons as soon as possible, and then enter the international market in a big way, and tell the Krupp high-level that I authorize you to sell this batch of weapons all over the world, except for Japan and Tsarist Russia, for fifteen years, it is absolutely not allowed to sell to these two countries, and all the weapons we will authorize you in the future cannot be sold to these two countries!" ”

Bauer smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, Mr. Kenzhi, these two countries pose a direct threat to your country, and I will communicate this issue with my father and them, so you can wait for my good news." ”

Since the two people have found common ground of interests, it is really a thousand glasses of wine and confidants, during the conversation, Bauer found that this Chinese tiger is really not an ordinary person, for politics, military, the system of various countries, people's livelihood, have been involved, especially for the military, the views it expresses, it is indeed not understandable to ordinary people, even the best generals in Europe.

Bauer was even more convinced of Zhang Yi.

Bauer stayed in Kaesong for three days, and after three days, Zhang Yi sent a small team of men to personally escort Bauer to Tianjin, and then returned to China by boat.

Berlin, Germany.

An old man in his sixtieth year, sitting on a wicker chair, holding a telegram from Eastern China in his hand, bowed his head and pondered. There were two middle-aged people standing beside him.

The old man pondered for a while, smiled suddenly, and said: "This guy Bauer, he went to North Korea and met such a genius, interesting, interesting." ”

The middle-aged man on the side asked, "What's wrong?" Alfred, could it be that this little guy Ball is causing some trouble? ”

This old man who is close to the age of sixteen is the current head of the Krupp family - Friedrich? Alfred? Krupp (note, the genealogy of the rulers of the Krupp family is probably the most difficult to identify in the world, and here it is simply called Alfred because the old Alfred has died).

Alfred laughed, "This guy didn't get into trouble this time. Do you all know the Chinese tiger that has become famous in Eastern China today? ”

One of the middle-aged men was surprised: "Chinese tiger? Do you mean the military genius who performed well in the Sino-Japanese War, Zhang Yi? What's wrong with her? Does it have anything to do with this guy Ball? ”

Alfred said with a smile: "Joseph, Bauer, this kid has just retired from active duty, and he actually joined Japan's international mercenary brigade, and in the battle, he met this most outstanding genius general in China and formed a friendship. The most important thing is that several new weapons that appeared in the current Sino-Japanese war were invented by this Chinese tiger, and he has the right to invent these weapons, which have attracted the attention of European and American countries, but because the Qing country's secrecy work has been done very well this time, until now, all countries have not obtained relevant weapons, even on the Korean battlefield, the Japanese army has not captured one, which makes us understand that these weapons have brought great difficulty. ”

Alfred paused, then continued, "However, this time Ball has brought us great news. Zhang Yi intends to use the patent rights of these weapons to cooperate with our Krupp family to jointly open up the international arms market! Bauer has reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Zhang Yi, and hopes that we can send people to China as soon as possible to fully implement this cooperation, and at the same time, Zhang Yi will also hand over the production licenses of several other weapons to us, which is a big business! ”

Joseph's face was full of shock, he really didn't expect that this guy Bauer had just gone to North Korea and made such a big deal.

Joseph shook his head, sobered up for a moment, and said: "Alfred, then, we must quickly send someone to China to conduct further negotiations with Zhang Yi and fully implement this business, which will be a major opportunity for the further rise of our Krupp family, and we must not be preempted by others!" ”

Joseph continued: "This time it would be better for me or Ram to go by myself. ”

Ram on the side said: "Yes, Alfred, now that the contradictions between our empire and the British empire are beginning to appear, we must take precautions in advance, this is an opportunity to strengthen our empire, I suggest that Joseph and I go to China in person!" ”

Alfred waved his hand and said, "No! This time, I will personally go to China to meet this genius general, and before I get up, I will go and meet Master Bismarck! The future achievements of this Chinese tiger are limitless, and there is a great possibility that China, an ancient country, will prosper in his hands. He will be an excellent ally of our German world domination in the future! ”

When Joseph and Ram heard this, they were stunned, and Alfred personally stepped out, it seems that this matter is no longer under the control of the two of them.

Joseph hesitated, "Alfred, is it necessary?" I don't know how many times Ram and I have handled this kind of thing, so we are familiar with the road, so there is no need for you to run it yourself, right? ”

Alfred smiled and said: "Joseph and Ram, you two are business geniuses, yes, even I am not as shrewd as the two of you, but you two only understand business, but do not understand politics, and some things cannot be unimpeded just by relying on your skills in the market." This kind of business cooperation will be closely related to the political friendship between the two countries, and it is difficult to do it only through people-to-people, and it needs the support of the state behind it, so I went back to visit Bismarck before I set off again to seek his full support! ”

After listening to Alfred's words, the two of them nodded blankly.
