Wu Peifu said suddenly: "Instructor, there is another good news, Qiu Long has sent a telegram yesterday, now our aircraft has fully realized the standard of spare parts, production and assembly are separated, the production capacity of our aircraft factory has been greatly improved, two years, has produced 360 aircraft, last year 130, this year exceeded 230, at this rate, our aircraft this year can deliver all the aircraft to Europe and the United States!" ”

Zhang Yi's eyes lit up, a good thing. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com].

Xu Huaijin said with a smile: "It just so happens that now the three countries of Britain, Germany and France seem to be urging us to deliver the plane quickly, and now we can finally get rid of their entanglement." ”

Zhang Yi smiled faintly: "This is the beginning, only dozens of planes, can not meet their needs for the imminent outbreak of war, especially Britain, France and Germany, will definitely install as many planes as possible, this batch of aircraft is sold, soon their second batch of purchase orders will come, hehe, we don't think we have less money, since they want to buy, then sell them all!" ”

Xu Huaijin nodded and replied: "That's what I mean, the scale of our Chinese Revolutionary Army's aircraft is kept at more than one hundred, which is completely sufficient, there is no need for more planes at all, at least before the start of the war, we don't need to equip more aircraft, they want to buy them and go with them!" ”

Zhang Yi smiled and replied: "They will definitely be, they will come to receive the second batch of aircraft in the next two days, and when the time comes, we will hand over all the planes to them, and at the same time, notify all countries to start pre-selling the second batch of fighters!" In fact, the combat effectiveness of the second-generation aircraft is not very strong, what we need is the third-generation aircraft, high-performance aircraft that can directly annihilate enemy aircraft in the air! That's our real killer feature! ”

Wu Peifu smiled bitterly: "Instructor, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for our aircraft to sell at sky-high prices like before, after two years of research, Britain, the United States, France, Germany, and Russia have all successfully developed prototypes and put them into production, but I'm afraid it will also be put on the agenda." If we think about their lion opening their mouths, we are afraid that it is impossible. ”

Zhang Yi laughed and said, "So what? They developed it, it just said that they had the ability to produce aircraft, but, first, how did their aircraft perform? They definitely don't know the bottom in their hearts, and they will definitely not be able to catch up with our second-generation aircraft. The study of engines and aerodynamic layouts cannot be done in a short period of time. Second, even if their aircraft are performing well. But in the short term, they are unable to achieve large-scale quantitative production, assembly line operations, but not the countries on the left and right have mastered it, and they cannot mass produce it, which means that their costs cannot be greatly reduced, coupled with their high domestic wages, the cost of their aircraft will not be less than 70,000 pounds, and the cost of our aircraft is only less than 40,000 pounds, even if the third generation aircraft is produced. His production cost will not exceed 60,000 pounds, and this is our biggest advantage! Before the end of the world war, their aircraft industry could not catch up with us in any case! They only have to buy from us! ”

Sure enough, just after the Spring Festival in 1906, warships from Europe and the United States had already arrived in Jinzhou, where it was most convenient to receive planes, and there was a direct train from Jilin to Jinzhou, which could transport planes directly to the port of Jinzhou.

At this time, all 180 warplanes had been moored to the ships of various countries. As for the planes of various countries, all of them have entered the pockets of the Republic of China long ago, and the military experts of various countries have carefully inspected the planes and carried out trade handovers with the Huaxia Aircraft Factory.

It is only for receiving goods, and it is not important, important people have already arrived in Tianjin in advance. Divert to Beijing!

After arriving in Beijing, the special envoys of seven or eight countries contacted the foreign ministries directly through the envoys of various countries to request military trade talks and discuss the next step in the aircraft trade.

Of course, this is only the regular way for ordinary countries, for some special countries. It's another thing at all, like Germany!

Because of his outstanding performance in Britain, especially after assisting Kaiser Wilhelm II to successfully invite Zhang Jianzhi to visit Germany, and after obtaining huge benefits, the German Foreign Office praised him and directly promoted him to vice minister of foreign affairs.

This time, when all the planes have been produced and all the trade planes can be delivered in advance, Kaiser Wilhelm II was deeply moved, this time he must not return empty-handed, and now the competition between England and Germany in the arms race has begun to enter a white-hot stage, whether it is a giant ship or a cannon, they are in full swing and desperately producing, as for the ace weapon of the aircraft, Germany does not want to fall behind Britain, and the comprehensive strength of the Allies is slightly weaker than that of the Entente. If he loses to the Entente in weapons, then the future war will be even more unsafe, how could Wilhelm II let go of the opportunity to be close to the water?

It was Wilhelm II who once again sent Corifin and appointed Corithine as a plenipotentiary envoy to further negotiate the purchase of aircraft.

Before leaving, Wilhelm II repeatedly advised: "Corrign, the empire has entrusted such a heavy task to you, no matter what, we must complete this second aircraft procurement, and it is necessary to include at least half of the number of aircraft produced by the Republic of China in the future, only in this way, the empire can guarantee that we will win the war when facing the attack of France and Tsarist Russia at the same time!" This is related to the future of our empire, as long as this negotiation is successful, then I will immediately promote you to be the foreign minister of the empire! ”

With such encouragement and commitment, Corrigin is naturally very excited, relying on his old relationship with Zhang Yi and Xu Huaijin, coupled with the assistance of German Minister Andrew, this trip to China is definitely a sure victory, Foreign Minister, hehe, this position, he has been coveting for a long time.

Arriving in Beijing, Corifin didn't even have time to rest, and went straight to the presidential palace with Andrew.

He also knows that among all the foreign envoys, only Andrew has the qualifications to go straight to the presidential palace and the General Staff, as the teacher of Xu Huaijin, the chief of the General Staff, this guy relies on the old and sells the old, and he has always been used to it, plus he is good at dancing with long sleeves, no one in Beijing dares to stop him at any yamen!

Corrigin explained to Harrison what William II meant on the way, and said hurriedly: "Mr. Andrew, this matter depends on you and me, we can only succeed and not fail!" Your Majesty has given a death order, and we have no way back! (To be continued.)
