Zhang Yi made an appointment to meet Andrew and Tian Xiali at the presidential palace, and Tang Shaoyi and Liang Cheng sat on one side.

Zhang Yi said in a deep voice: "Two, when the time is up, originally for us, the friends who want to help us very much, whether it is Germany or the United States, are the friendliest friends since the founding of the Republic of China, and we have always remembered the efforts made by the two countries for our Republic of China." However, I don't want to see the two of you arguing over such a thing, with red faces and red ears, and the palms and backs of your hands are full of 'meat', and you are fighting so much that we don't know how to resolve it. ”

Andrew replied: "General Jianzhi, I have obtained the authorization of William and His Majesty, as long as you make a request, we can agree to all of them, just ask your country to open the market to us, and at the same time carry out centralized procurement!" ”

Tian Xiali said tightly: "Why, Andrew, why can such a large market of the Republic of China only think that you Germany is open?" Why is it that such a large government purchase can only be purchased from your German Empire? Mr. Jianzhi, you have long known the conditions I proposed, and you have seen my sincerity! ”

Immediately after that, the two ministers began to quarrel again.

Zhang Yi waved his hand and signaled the two of them to be quiet.

Zhang Yi replied: "Both of you, whether it is Germany or the United States, are our staunch allies!" Now that you are in trouble, I have deep sympathy for your situation, but it is not helpful for you to quarrel so much. Andrew, you said that I will fill in the amount of the check, Mr. Tian Xiali, you said that as long as you give a number, you will agree, but have you ever thought about it, if I really fill in an astronomical number for you, you will not collapse? ”

Tian Xiali and Andrew smiled awkwardly and did not speak.

Zhang Yi replied: "Okay, I promise you, my country's market will be fully open to your two countries, but because this is a special period of opening, therefore, this part of the goods, China's customs will add 30% of the tariff; Second, our government will carry out comprehensive procurement for your two countries to promote the economic construction of our Republic of China, in this procurement, we allocate 50% of the volume of goods to purchase the products of your two countries, and the centralized procurement of goods must keep me at the best price! ”

Zhang Yi didn't wait for the two people to answer, and then said: "Also, I need a large number of long-term interest-free loans, with a total amount of 200 million US dollars, to complete the national economic construction project, you must know that this time I have invested heavily in the construction of the project, and the construction of the project in the next ten years will all be concentrated in the next two to three years, which will cause our national economic structure to be seriously tilted!" I'm taking such a big risk to help you, and it's definitely expensive! ”

Two hundred million dollars!

That was an astronomical amount at the time!

At that time, the total annual political income of the United States was only less than a billion dollars!

As for Germany, its performance is not as good as that of the United States, and the total income of Germany's government is only about 800 million US dollars! It's not that they can't afford this loan, it's that the two of them are worried about how this Chinese tiger will digest the loan of 200 million dollars!

Tian Xiali and Andrew seriously flashed a trace of 'temptation' and 'confusion', and then said firmly: "Okay, General Jianzhi, we have inherited this matter." ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Well, I have seen the personal letters from His Majesty Wilhelm II and President McKinley, and I also intend to go to Germany and the United States for an inspection visit. The specific time will be negotiated by the special person of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

Eventually, such a clause was signed.

Zhang Yi, who received large loans from Germany and the United States, immediately had confidence in his heart.

The two deposits entered the accounts of Shengjing Bank and China Construction Bank respectively, and Zhang Yi began to launch a large-scale sweep, not only products, but also those technologies, equipment and even factories, which became Zhang Yi's target.

At the invitation of Kaiser Wilhelm II and US President McKinley, Zhang Yi finally embarked on a journey to the west and began a long-term visit to Germany and the United States.

Zhang Yi carried a delegation of up to 200 people, including not only important members of the political and military circles, but also many 'elite' people in the business circles, in an attempt to take advantage of this action to swallow the elephant with a snake and complete the transformation of leapfrog development.

Zhang Yi planned to stay in Germany for half a month and in the United States for a month, plus the number of days delayed during the trip, I am afraid that it has exceeded three months. has been absent from the country for a long time, although Tang Shaoyi and Xu Huaijin have coordinated the military and political affairs for two terms, and can deter the situation of the Republic of China, but after all, they are still a little worried.

Zhang Yi shook Xu Huaijin's hand heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Huaijin, this westward journey, I need at least three months, you must keep an eye on the military dynamics around you, don't make mistakes, politically, there are naturally Shaochuan and Xizi in charge, you don't have to worry too much!" ”

Xu Huaijin nodded and said: "Instructor, I can only hope that you will return as soon as possible, while you are here, I can still encourage and support, if you are not there, after a long time, I will really be able to withstand it......"

Zhang Yi replied: "Well, I will try to shorten the time, but this trip to Germany and the United States is very important, and I have to go there no matter what." What you need to pay attention to at home is the dynamics of Japan, I think Japan is definitely not willing to be lonely, they are now moving in Southeast Asia, I am afraid that it will not take too long to start a war again. ”

Xu Huaijin nodded and said: "I understand that when Japan enters Southeast Asia, it is the time when we launch a unified war to the south, and it is the best time, once Japan completes its war of aggression and wins, then in the future, they will definitely launch a unified war for us and set up obstacles!" ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Huai Jin, now you can be said to be a commander-level military strategist, in the past, your vision was too narrow, just focusing on the battlefield, that is not enough, at least your strategic vision is not enough, you can only think of a master of tactics, but you can't say that you are a master of strategy, but now you are fully worthy of such a title!" ”

Xu Huaijin smiled and said: "Actually, it should be Little Japan who is anxious now, now is their only chance, they can grab a piece of territory in Southeast Asia, that is their cheapness, if they can't grab it, they will not be far from death." Moreover, even if we grab a piece of territory, we Taiwan will choke Japan's throat to Southeast Asia, which is the key to the key, as long as Taiwan is in our hands, little Japan will not be able to turn the sky upside down! ”
