0442 Franco-German cooperation
It was a condition that Wilhelm I and Bismarck could not refuse!
President Meng did not open his mouth widely, he had already calculated that such conditions would not affect the strategic pattern of the entire Asia, and I believe that the Germans would agree, otherwise, they would summon the opposition of the whole of Europe.

"To provide a corps of 100 officers to help you build an army and a military academy can be considered, but 20,000 Mauser Type 1871 rifles, of which 5,000 are carbines, no less than 200 Krupp heavy guns, and no less than 300 Krupp medium howitzers? Ammunition in thousands? My God, Mr. Yuemeng, you surprised me so much, you really dare to say it, you know? It will take us a year to produce these weapons, and if you get these weapons and have the officer corps we provide, you will have a new army in two years! In Asia, you will be a force capable of directly threatening the security of the Qing court! The whole world will intervene. Bismarck gave President Moe an ambiguous answer, not agree, nor refuse.
President Meng smiled faintly: "Mr. Prime Minister, I try my best to cooperate with Germany, that is, if I want to become a strategic partner country of Germany, my armaments are used for self-protection, we have more than 30,000 square kilometers of land, two large military fortresses, and a world-class port, 200 Krupp heavy guns will all be used for defense, as for 300 Krupp medium howitzers, they are used to deter the forces that covet our territory!" You know, the amount of purchases I invested in Europe this time is enough for many countries to treat my Eastern Hawaiian Kingdom as a piece of fat, without this guarantee force, how can I survive? If Germany can't provide me with these armaments, I will buy them from other countries, and I will definitely buy them! Other countries will not be so worried about Mr. Prime Minister! ”
Bismarck walked up to Kaiser Wilhelm I and whispered a few words.
Kaiser Wilhelm I smiled and said to Xuan Yuemeng: "Mr. Yuemeng, please go back first, within three days, we will give you an answer!" ”
President Meng breathed a sigh of relief, for the first time, he felt so disgusting, and he had to give money to people!
"Good! Thank you, Your Majesty. "President Meng Shili, retire.
Princess Katrina Kafu also gave a salute with President Moe and went out with President Moe.
"I'm nervous, President, can you really say that you think the Kaiser will accede to our request? If Germany and France had agreed, two billion francs would have been sent out at once, and you would have been willing to do so, and this time, we would have to lose some money when we came to Europe. Princess Katrina Kaaf whispered.
President Meng was in a bad mood, just smiled faintly, he didn't know what he was doing at the moment, right or wrong, right and definitely right, always have to get the basic industry up as soon as possible, but President Meng didn't know how long it would take for Danzhou's basic industry to get up.
The key is that President Meng can't bear to throw out his two billion francs, how effective it can be!
If things go well, President Moe's circle of Europe and the United States can greatly reduce the rise of the Americans, help Germany and France strengthen their strength, and quickly change the situation in Europe, of course, he will also offend the British!
However, with Germany and France as partners, President Moe is not worried that the British will immediately declare war on the Eastern Hawaiian Kingdom for procurement.
If war had been declared for such a thing, the whole world would have opposed the hegemony of the British, and although there was no United Nations at this time, the union of various countries was already very close.
Germany, France, the top, negotiate with the person of the moe president in tension and plan.
All three sides are considering all aspects of cooperation, and this is the first time that such a large-scale cooperation between the Eastern and Western forces has been carried out, which is of epoch-making significance.
President Meng does not like bloody revolutions, President Meng hopes that through his own efforts, China will be brought on the road of development and strength in a peaceful way, this is a difficult point for him, if it is like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he already has the strength to launch a vigorous change!
The premise is that the Germans and the French, at least on one side, cooperate with him.
Three days later, the Germans and the French agreed to Xuan Yuemeng's request almost at the same time, and they could not refuse this fund for the two big countries that had just ended the war, especially at such a moment when the entire world capitalist countries were in an economic crisis!
The people around President Meng were all excited, and Princess Katrina Kafu jumped up all of a sudden, "President, the talk has been successful!" ”
Xuan Yuemeng was also very excited, but she didn't show it, just smiled faintly, "The price is too great!" However, there is no problem with defense for the time being! ”
Wang Zhankui said excitedly: "President, when all the Krupp cannons are in place, the defense of Danzhou will be solid!" ”
President Meng smiled slightly, "You can use a lot of words now?" Yes, it can indeed make Danzhou impregnable! ”
France offers comprehensive industrial cooperation to the Kingdom of Eastern Hawaii, promising to put into operation 2,000 factories! And to provide the Eastern Hawaiian Kingdom with a military factory, a rifle production line, an artillery production line!
Germany offers comprehensive industrial cooperation to the Kingdom of Eastern Hawaii and promises to put into operation 2,000 factories! and provided a team of 100 officers to the Eastern Hawaiian Kingdom to help build the army and military schools, and at the same time provided 20,000 Mauser Type 1871 rifles, including 5,000 carbines, no less than 200 Krupp heavy guns, and no less than 300 Krupp medium howitzers! Ammunition is based on thousands!
The huge order of 2 billion francs suddenly boosted the confidence of President Moe!
The rest of the thing, about using the Olympics as a diplomatic way, to lobby major European countries, to seek the establishment of diplomatic relations, President Meng handed over to the German station, the British station and the French station to form a diplomatic team, this is a long-term job, President Meng has no time to do it personally.
Before coming to Europe, President Meng had 2,125 tons of gold in his hands that he had made a lot of money in the United States, and now after deducting the orders of 2 billion francs, President Meng still returned to Danzhou with more than 1,880 tons of gold.
The German side sent a hundred officers, mainly army officers, but also the navy, led by a pair of brothers, Army Major Albert Kirchbach the Elder and Lieutenant Albert Kirchbach the Younger.
Both countries are going to Danzhou to open factories, and President Meng also asked people to secretly recruit a group of scientists, and after talking deeply with these scientists, impressed with high salaries and sincerity, he personally asked Bismarck for people, among which the more famous is Adolf von Beyer.
As early as 1872, the German chemist Adolf von Baier was working on the tricky residues that accumulate at the bottom of glassware, mainly caused by the reaction between phenol (a turpentine-like solvent extracted from cinders produced in large quantities in the gas lighting industry) and formaldehyde (a preservative liquid extracted from benol).
However, von Bayer set his sights on new synthetic coatings rather than insulators.
In his opinion, this annoying and insoluble sticky thing in glassware has no research value to be had.
Adolf von Bair and others seeking business opportunities in the fledgling power industry believed that this slimy thing would lead to some kind of great discovery.
The common challenge is to find a set of conditions - a certain set of ingredients and a certain amount of heat and pressure - that can produce something similar to shellac that is more effective. Ideally, it can be dissolved in solvents to become insulating varnish, but it can be as malleable as rubber.
Alternating current, radio, and plastics, these are the three aspects that President Moe is very interested in, and in this era, the reason why it is not valued is that it has not been applied, and many people cannot see the value of these disciplines if they are not applied.
Only President Meng knows that in the future, these are very mature industries, pillar industries in the national economy, the Yangtze River Delta mainly relies on plastics in modern times, and the plastics industry is the leader of light industry.
Chemical industry, electricity, these are the main theme projects that are still promoting industrial development from 1870 to 2170.
