After reading this telegram, Gao Hongsheng couldn't help laughing, and said to Bo Caiyun, who was still confused and curious: "Germany is unwilling to send troops to the Philippines, but Austria-Hungary wants us to talk." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes, but you can't lead Germany from the Great Qing Kingdom to the Philippines, as if we have failed, what are you happy about?" Bo Caiyun did not feel that there was anything good, did not lead German power from the Qing Kingdom to the Philippines, and the other great power, Austria-Hungary, was interested in the Philippines, what was there to be happy about.

"No, you don't understand, by cooperating with Germany or Austria-Hungary, we will get a land for immigration, don't you realize that there are too many people in the country now? It's fake to cooperate with them, we immigrants are real, no matter who nominally gets that colony, but the people in that land are all our people, what's the difference between us getting that colony? Caiyun, think about what it is like for you to really be a queen, haha, Her Royal Highness the Queen, do you understand now? Bo Caiyun pursed the corners of his mouth and didn't say anything, Queen, hehe.

Gao Hongsheng's careful thinking was finally revealed, the Philippines is good! Occupy a large island, whether it is Luzon, Mindanao, Panay, or other islands, as long as he occupies one or two of them, he will win, and when the Americans intervene in the Philippine archipelago, he can fish in troubled waters and occupy all the other islands.

At that time, the Philippine independence movement was mainly concentrated in the most economically developed island of Luzon, and the Philippine independence movement was not the war of the local people against colonial rule as everyone imagined, in fact, its essence was the inevitable product of the collapse of Spanish colonial rule, and the main participants were composed of the descendants of the Spaniards in the original Philippines and the descendants of the Chinese.

And their war of "independence", after the leader Boniciaeu was secretly executed by another leader, Aguinaldo, had already gone from a national revolution to an ugly human right.

Later, in December 1897, Aguinaldo signed the "Broken Rock Cave Agreement" with the Spanish Governor Rivera, and he took a check for 400,000 pesos to end the so-called Philippine War of Independence.

However, in this era, because Gao Hongsheng's men killed Aguinador's secret negotiators with the Spaniards in Xiangjiang, the two sides still have not reached an understanding, and they are still attacking each other, which makes Gao Hongsheng have a chance to participate, but this opportunity is likely to be fleeting.

According to Gao Hongsheng's estimate, that Aguinaldo will not last long, and he will definitely reach an understanding with Spain, and then run away with the check, so that there is not much chance for him to get involved.

At the same time, he also needs to go to Austria-Hungary, what is the situation of Skoda's artillery now Albert can't explain it in the telegram, just simply say that everything is good, but where is the good, so good that I don't know what the situation is now, there is no telephone in this era, and it is too inconvenient to communicate by telegram alone.

Thinking of this, he asked, "How much money did Albert take over there?" ”

"Nearly two million pounds, Albert took almost two million pounds before and after. However, we have acquired a 15% stake in the Škoda Arsenal. Bo Caiyun said triumphantly.

"Fifteen percent of the shares, what's going on?" Fifteen percent of Skoda's shares is a lot, you know, it's the second largest arsenal in Europe, well! No, not at the moment, but it's not small, you must know that the largest shareholder of Skoda is the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and now he and His Royal Highness the emperor are running a large factory at the same time, which is really interesting.

After thinking about it, Gao Hongsheng was happy, and said with a smile: "I said that His Royal Highness the Emperor is interested in the Philippines, shouldn't he take a fancy to the patent in our hands, so that the whole thing can be explained clearly, otherwise how can His Royal Highness the Emperor think of the Philippines." By the way, how did you get the shares? ”

"Looks like it's hard to hide something from you." Bo Caiyun smiled angrily, then gave him a roll of his eyes and said: "The manufacturing technology of the seventy-five-millimeter rapid-fire gun, Albert just began to test the director of the Skoda Arsenal, Emile, and found that he was very interested in that artillery, and he also wanted to obtain the patents for grenades and mortars, and Albert used these technologies plus two million pounds in exchange for fifteen percent of the shares. Bo Caiyun said lightly.

"Ha, it's really dozing off when someone sends a pillow. Albert did a good job, send him a red envelope of 100,000 pounds first, it's too beautiful, by the way, you immediately arrange someone to take a telegram for him, forget it, I'll go talk to the old man Joseph in person, our big killer torpedo hasn't found a place to produce it yet, see how much benefit can be exchanged. "Gao Hongsheng is not crooked, a rapid-fire cannon technology plus a little technology can be exchanged for shares in the Skoda Arsenal, so I don't know how many benefits can be exchanged for torpedo technology in later generations.

At the same time, he still has a lot of British and French warship technology in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that he has no place to digest, and Germany doesn't have to think about it, damn William, stubborn William blocked his way, it would be good if he could exchange some benefits from another European power, not to mention that it would be good if he could hold the calf of Austria-Hungary through these technologies. Although this calf is a bit thin, and this calf may have disintegrated after World War I, it would be nice to have a calf for you to hug.

As for the two thighs of Britain and France, they will not let him become big for their own interests, and the final result is estimated to be the same as Zhang Zuolin, and it will blow up to the sky with a bang.

Of course, the summons of an emperor cannot be delayed, Gao Hongsheng informed Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai, who were still messing around in the Mauser Arsenal, and asked them to bring people back immediately, and at the same time asked Bo Caiyun to arrange the things stored in the port of Allefell, France, on a train to Vienna, the capital of Austria, and after everything was arranged three days later, he took everyone to Vienna, the capital of music.

Beautiful Vienna is full of romantic atmosphere, this temple of music has given birth to the great masters we worship in the future, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Johann Strauss and sons, Gryck and Brahm all spent many years of music here, the works of these great masters are not to mention the works of these great masters, their statues are erected throughout the city, there is the world most luxurious Royal Opera House, and the famous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

Gao Hongsheng asked Albert to greet William Jahn, the manager of the Royal Opera House, early on, and he wanted to surprise the nineteenth-century Princess Sissi and Prince Joseph at the Royal Opera House in Vienna, but the price of this surprise was a bit high, and the cost of a one-night charter was 20,000 pounds, and it had to be when it was not performing.

However, for the sake of the always beautiful and kind Sissi in his heart, Gao Hongsheng didn't feel that there was any waste.
