c_t; In the face of Tang Shaoyi's military cooperation clause, Barland couldn't sit still.

The above clauses have been promulgated and implemented, and in the future, Fengtian's military strength will be comprehensively strengthened and become a pivotal presence in the entire Northeast Asian region, but if he does not agree to these conditions, he is afraid that the matter of taking away the advanced weapons technology from Zhang Yi and training special forces on his behalf will become unattainable.

Baland said: "Mr. Tang, General Jianzhi's appetite is too great, so much military aid, we will create a strong military presence in the three eastern provinces, whether it is the pressure of the Qing Dynasty or the pressure of the international powers, it will be unprecedentedly huge, such pressure, I cannot guarantee that His Majesty Wilhelm III will be able to take over, and at the same time, your other interests to us are not enough to impress His Majesty the Kaiser."

Tang Shaoyi said with a smile: "Mr. Barland, I know that the pressure you mentioned from many parties undoubtedly exists, but have you ever thought that any international negotiations are based on a certain amount of force, first of all, if our Fengtian has developed by leaps and bounds with the assistance of your country, then the interests will attract the prying eyes of other countries, don't forget that Germany is tens of thousands of miles away, once there is a war or turmoil, how can your country ensure that your country's economic interests in Mukden are not infringed?" Therefore, the development of Fengtian's military strength is imperative, and only when we have sufficient military strength can we ensure that your country's economic interests are not infringed upon, and at the same time, our strong military strength can also withstand the huge pressure given to us by the imperial court

The terms of cooperation signed with your country in private are difficult to obtain the consent of the imperial court! ”

The two sides held three or four rounds of consultations on the issue of military cooperation, which lasted until the next day's business, and the German side agreed to the terms of military cooperation only after obtaining Zhang Yi's personal assurances on some economic issues. [ ]

After four full days of negotiations, the German legation and the general's office reached a full consensus on cooperation, and each side made concessions on some inconsequential matters.

In the end, Zhang Yi personally came forward and signed the "Shengjing Fengde Secret Treaty" with Barland, which stipulated: "Germany and Fengtian have established a comprehensive cooperative relationship, and based on the sensitive position of the Shengjing General's Mansion and the needs of the international situation, the two sides will remain silent about this contract and will not announce it to the public."

Zhang Yi invited Barland, Gustav and others to visit the Mukden Martial Arts Academy.

Everyone had just met, and Gustav among them suddenly screamed: "Shi, is it you, dear Mr. Shi Yin, I didn't expect that twenty years later, I would still be able to see you, it's really incredible, is this true?" ”

A group of Barand and the rest of the German delegation looked at Gustav with a slight frown.

Gustav completely ignored the eyes of the people around him, rushed to the front, and held Shi Dakai's hands.

Shi Dakai was stunned, who was this middle-aged man, how could he know his name when he traveled to Europe, and be able to recognize himself.

Shi Dakai shook Gustav's hands briefly and said, "What do you call this gentleman?" Do we know each other? Everyone focused their eyes on Gustav and looked curiously at this Western military-industrial giant.
