Chapter 196 - Exchange of Interests Each takes what he needs
ο»Ώ
c_t; Barland looked at Gustav helplessly, and said in his heart, I am here to fight for some interests with the empire, but you are good, you actually agreed to Zhang Yi's request directly, is it so easy to hand over the foundation to the other party in diplomacy, lack of heart!
In fact, Barand did not see through Gustav's intentions at all, Gustav knew very well in his heart that this Chinese tiger is the hottest political star in the current Qing Dynasty, and it is also one of the highest rulers in the future Qing Dynasty in the next thirty or fifty years. This is something that even the Empress Dowager Cixi and Li Hongzhang can't do, no one knows what kind of cake Zhang Yi has in his hands waiting for the German Empire next, he can see that this Zhang Yi will definitely not be so simple!
Sure enough, Zhang Yi laughed and said: "Mr. Gustav, you are really a distinguished guest of the Qing Dynasty, you will win my Zhang Yi's most sincere friendship, as a friend, what I value most is the word righteousness, I will never let my friend suffer." β
Gustav laughed: "Oh? Listening to General Kenzhi, do you have other things waiting for us to develop together? β
Zhang Yi smiled mysteriously and asked: "I heard, Mr. Gustav, the most famous industrial area in Germany is the Ruhr Industrial Zone, where there is a world-famous coal and steel complex, heavy industry and its development?" β
Gustav smiled smugly, the development of this Ruhr industrial area is inseparable from their Krupp Group, and it can be said that the development of the Ruhr industrial area is taking off in tandem with the Krupp family.
Gustav said: "General Jianzhi, it's not me boasting, the Ruhr industrial area is definitely the world's premier industrial area, neither England nor the United States has such a huge heavy industrial area, the coal and steel industry overshadows the world;!" β
Zhang Yi smiled: "Then what would you do if I said that there is also such a piece of land in our Daqing Dynasty, which is extremely similar to the Ruhr Industrial Zone, waiting for someone to develop it?" β
Gustav looked shocked. Looking at Zhang Yi, he said in a loud voice: "Impossible, impossible, the Ruhr Industrial Zone is the most precious gift from God to Germany, and I don't believe that China also has such a land." β
Zhang Yi smiled, did not respond directly, turned to Wu Peifu and said, "Ziyu." Go and help me find a map of Mukden, go quickly! β
Wu Peifu agreed. After walking down, after a while, he came to Zhang Yi with a map in his hand and spread the map on the table.
Zhang Yi pointed to the map and said to Gustav and the others: "Mr. Gustav, Mr. Barland, please see, this is the whole map of our Great Qing Fengtianxing Province!" Here it isβ"
Zhang Yi pointed to the middle of the map of Liaoning and said, "Here." It is China's Anshan, where there are nearly two billion tons of high-quality iron ore, a hundred kilometers north of Anshan, here is China's Benxi in Fengtian! There are nearly a billion high-quality iron ore here, and there are also billions of tons of high-quality coal mines, from Anshan to here-"
Zhang Yi's hand pointed to the Bohai Bay on the lower side and said, "Here." Yingkou! It is one of the most important ports in the north of the Qing Dynasty, only more than 100 kilometers away from Anshan, close to Bohai Bay, and only 200 kilometers away from Dalian Port. β
Zhang Yi's words. Gustav was dumbfounded, is there really such a perfect area in the world, this is simply the most perfect industrial base!
Gustav looked shocked, and only replied after a long time: "General Jianzhi, if there is such a piece of land in Daqing, I will not hesitate to choose to open a factory here and develop the coal and iron mines here." Build this place into the most beautiful and developed industrial area! β
Zhang Yi laughed and said, "It's Fengtian!" This morning, our Emperor and the Empress Dowager Lafayette have just appointed me as the supreme governor of Mukden, the general of Mukden, to oversee the administrative and military power of the whole of Mukden, once the Sino-Japanese war is over, we have got our fair share of the benefits at the negotiating table, and I think I will be happy to work with the German aristocracy and entrepreneurs to develop this land! β
"What you say is true? General Kenzhi, are you sure you're not joking with me? "Gustav was really shocked that if the development here became a reality, it would bring immeasurable benefits to the Krupp family and to Germany!
Barland was also shocked.
Zhang Yi replied: "Of course, of course it is true, but I also hope that His Majesty the Kaiser can help me politically, militaryly, educationally and economically, remember, it is to help me, not the court behind it, they do not want to see you develop this land, and you also know what kind of diehards that group of people are!" β
Baland said: "General Jianzhi, as long as what you say can be realized, I think our Kaiser is very willing to establish a strong friendship with you, and provide a lot of assistance to Mukden under your rule, and it is all-round assistance, and our friendship will be unbreakable!" β
Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Of course, I hope to get a loan, which can allow me to carry out basic development and construction of Mukden, so that your country can better develop this land, and I hope that Mr. Barand and Mr. Gustav can use your influence in Germany to win a loan of 50 million pounds, and this matter must be entrusted to you!" β
Gustav did not expect that this trip would be so rewarding, it was too unexpected. He didn't think about it, and said directly: "Okay, Mr. Kenzhi, this matter is on me, within half a year, I will definitely be able to solve this matter for you, and it will be brought to you in the form of an interest-free loan in the name of the Deutsche National Bank, which will be a testimony of the great friendship between us!" β
Zhang Yi finally fell into a big stone in his heart, and the funds were settled, so he didn't have to worry about his development in the future.
Zhang Yi turned around and smiled at Baldegan: "Mr. Baldegan, I know that you, as an Imperial Martial Artist, must be more interested in the blue wolf under my command, right?" β
When Baldgan heard this, his spirits perked up, and he said: "Yes, General Jianzhi, I have heard Bauer say countless times, he has personally experienced the battle of the blue wolf, and everyone praises the combat effectiveness of the blue wolf, and praises it as the world's number one force, there is no second!" I just want to see this team with my own eyes and see the majesty of the blue wolf! β
Zhang Yi smiled strangely and said: "Mr. Baldekan, I will meet your request in the past two days, and I will show my blue wolf camp to your legation the day after tomorrow, so that the blue wolf can truly go to the world and let the world know their prestige!" Lucky enough to be on my invitation list! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
