c_t; Just when the Qing court and Mukden were in turmoil, Zhang Yi had already led the delegation directly to Hamburg, Germany. ( )

The formation of the visit to Germany began.

Hamburg is one of Germany's most famous cities and is full of flowers.

His Majesty Wilhelm III of Germany has sent a special envoy to meet him in Hamburg, and Zhang Yi's visit this time is an invitation issued by Wilhelm III himself, and the standard of reception is very high, and Gustav even came to Hamburg in person to meet with Zhang Yi.

After Zhang Yi met with the envoy, Gustav couldn't wait to say to Zhang Yi: "Dear General Jianzhi, I can't understand why the emperor and the empress dowager of your country want to remove you from your position, if you are a German, I think His Excellency Wilhelm III will definitely put you in the position of chief of the army general staff, you are the most talented general in the East!" ”

Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Your Excellency Gustav, this time in the post, it is not a degradement, but a transfer, a promotion, and it is not as serious as you imagined, Mr. Gustav, you filtered." ”

Gustav smiled and said: "It's just that you are leaving, but I heard that now Mukden is in chaos, bandits are rampant, and even our coal and steel complex has been impacted, General Jianzhi, you have to use your influence in Mukden to stabilize the situation for us." ”

Zhang Yi asked, "Oh, is it?" Along the way, I was on land and sea, cut off contact with China, and I really don't know, what happened to Mukden now? Lord Iktang was a well-known and capable minister of the Qing Dynasty, and Fengtian ruled over him

Next, there won't be much of a problem. ”

Gustav smiled bitterly and said: "General Jianzhi, you are too optimistic, now in Fengtian Province, there are suddenly more than a dozen bandits, Yiketanga is not effective in clearing and surrendering, and has suffered setbacks again and again, and because of the tight finances, he has suspended the policy of the people in the Guannai, and now Fengtian has no leader;." Jianzhi, I still have to rely on you, you are the supreme prestige of Fengtian, every word, without you, I am afraid that Fengtian will be difficult to govern. “

Zhang Yi was shocked and asked, "Losing again and again?" How can it be? My army does not dare to say that it is invincible in the world, at least it is galloping in the eastern world, and it is difficult to meet opponents, how can it be defeated by bandits? “

Gustav replied: "General Jianzhi, I heard that your soldiers have not been paid salaries for more than three months, and as a result, there are many complaints, many soldiers have left the army, and the army has no fighting spirit, how can they win, General Jianzhi, didn't you get a huge loan from Germany, why can't you even pay the military salary?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "Mr. Gustav, my loan is to achieve benefits, military salary is an unrecoverable expenditure, my loan must be spent on economic construction and infrastructure construction, most of the loan will be used to build railways, ports, military expenditure is the imperial court should bear the funds, has nothing to do with me." And if our coal and steel complex is attacked by bandits and suffers losses, I suggest that you should join the Americans and protest to the Qing court, asking the government to give guarantees to protect your property and rights from harm. ”

Gustav said, "Yes, Mr. Kenyuki. We are also on the verge of it

We will contact the United States side and work together to put pressure on your government that our property is sacrosanct. ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "These, we can discuss them later, anyway, I also came to Germany, domestic affairs, even if I want to make a effort, I can't do it, let's calm down and do our thing." ”

Gustav smiled and said: "I know that there are two people you can't get around when you come to the German Empire, one is our His Majesty the Kaiser, and the other is the old Chancellor Bismarck. ”

Zhang Yi said: "This is inevitable, I have a lot of respect for them, but before I rush to Berlin to meet these two distinguished gentlemen, I would like to ask you for a favor." ”

Gustav asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "This time I came to Germany, I also want to acquire several factories, one is a large-scale factory in the development and production of internal combustion engines, and then there is a machine tool factory and power plant, which are necessary for the development of industry in Fengtian and the operation of our comprehensive Liaohe oilfield, after all, from Germany or the United States to China, the transportation cost alone is a lot of money. I don't know much about the market in your country, and I would like to ask you to help me find one, of course, you know, I have limited funds, and I am afraid that I can't afford to buy reads if it is too large; ”

Gustav frowned and wondered: "Acquisition of the internal combustion engine factory?" Are you going to ...... As a giant in the heavy industry, we at Krupp are leading the world in our internal combustion engine technology, why do you want to buy an internal combustion engine factory, you have our support behind you, is there any technology that needs to be solved? ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Gustav, I can't always rely on it

Eat with the support of your Krupp, don't you? People are dignified, I hope that our cooperation is equal, I have no appetite for food, and I still have a lot of ideas in my heart, I need a factory to be able to confirm it for me, of course, no matter at any time, my close relationship with the Krupp Group will not be weakened by half a point, we are close allies, aren't we? ”

Gustav nodded and said, "In that case, then I'll take a look at it for you, but how much money have you prepared to buy the factory?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "Five million, five million taels of silver, I want to bring back to China an internal combustion engine factory, from equipment to engineers." ”

"Five million taels?" Gustav hesitated for a moment and said, "General Jianzhi is five million taels, and it shouldn't be a big problem to buy the equipment and technology in an internal combustion engine factory, but it's very difficult to buy it together with the engineers." ”

Zhang Yi said: "Then it depends on Gustav's skills, I am waiting for your good news." ”

Gustav nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try my best, we can talk about the factories that are not doing well, so that we have a certain initiative to speak, and we can appropriately lower the price." ”

Zhang Yi nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Gustav is worthy of being a hero in the business world, this is a good idea, I will completely ask you." As a token of my gratitude to you, I will give two percent of the shares to my husband, hoping that he will not disappoint me. ”

Gustav was overjoyed when he heard this, and patted his chest again and again, looking like a big stone in his chest, and swore a promise

will do this for Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi smiled secretly in his heart, with these two percent of the shares, he didn't believe that Gustav didn't work hard, after all, although the Krupp Group is a behemoth, but after all, it is not his alone, and his own shares are only forty percent of them, one hundred thousand taels of silver, and they are shares, which is a lot of wealth. Hanging a piece of meat within Gustav's reach in front of him, he will run fast in the back, this is human nature!
