"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. Pen & Fun & Ge www.biquge.info We have researched and found that the aluminum products you sell contain a new smelting technology. And this kind of technology is exactly what we need in the Great Rhine Empire. We are on the orders of the Consul General, Mr. Wald, and the Commander of the Far East Fleet, Rear Admiral Vestler, to formally submit to you a request for the purchase of technology. ”

The people of the Rhine also have the same impression in Xu Lie's memory, they like to go straight. Perhaps, now there is really a request for Xu Lie, although his words are full of pride, but he is no longer high.

"I think you're mistaken, two. Those aluminum products are not produced by me, nor are they produced in the Obscure Realm, but by some of my father's friends overseas. We don't know what the production process or technology is. ”

Xu Lie understood it, and naturally had a countermeasure. How to deal with this kind of thing, Xu Lie usually thinks about it. In fact, what Xu Lie said can also withstand investigation and scrutiny, there are no such factories in the Mengyin realm, at most, some people say that Xu Lie has magical powers, but that magical power, if you really want to say it, will the people of the Rhine Kingdom believe it? And directing the source of such goods overseas is undoubtedly the most correct approach.

In this era, including in the West, there are still some mysterious theories about the earth, and the understanding of the world is not as clear as that of later generations. As for the state of the colonies of various countries, they are also in a state of half-understanding, far less transparent than the original space-time satellites flying in the sky. Therefore, Xu Lie said that overseas production, although the two Rhines may be suspicious, but Xu Lie insisted that the other party could not do anything about him.

And if the Rhines have been thinking about this matter and launching an investigation, by the time they find out, I am afraid that Xu Lie's strength has also reached the point when he will no longer be afraid of the power of the great powers, and at that time, will the Rhine still be able to ask for the purchase of technology so rudely?

"Produced overseas?" The Rhines were fooled.

"It's not produced overseas, can it still be produced in the realm of Mengyin?" Xu Lie asked rhetorically.

"If it is produced overseas, can Your Excellency Commander tell us where it is produced?" Coffey was a little anxious.

"Hehe, my father's friend, it is precisely because he is afraid that someone will know that they have this relatively advanced production technology, so they will transport their goods to the land of Longguo for sale. Don't say that I don't have this kind of production technology, and even if I did, you think, would I sell my partner who brings me commercial benefits? ”

Seeing Xu Lie say this, the two Rhine white ghosts glanced at each other, and then Coffey said, "Your Excellency Commander Xu, we can offer a high price." ”

"I'm sorry, even if you just give 100 million gold marks, I can't come up with that kind of technology." Xu Lie sneered, these Western devils don't have a good thing, if he negotiated at the beginning and said that he could sell it, I don't know how low the price of the other party would be, but fortunately, he is not a turtle, but a traverser, and the idea of the Rhine people is destined to fail.

"This ......" The two Western devils were stunned, at the high price they said, it was only tens of thousands of gold marks at most, who knew that this bandit commander actually said that 100 million gold marks would not be sold.

"Two, is there anything else?" Although Xu Lie really wanted to have his own outlet to the sea, he didn't want to associate with the Rhine ghost for the time being. At present, although he can easily wipe out tens of thousands of Qing troops, he is nothing in the eyes of the great powers.

Only when one's own strength has reached a considerable level and the great powers are impressed can it be the time to start negotiations with the great powers, otherwise, it will be difficult to find the word equality in their relations.

Xu ...... Your Excellency, since you are not willing to transfer production technology, can you leave the overseas market to us Rhine merchants? Seeing that Xu Lie was about to send off guests, Coffey was busy telling them what they really meant this time.

"Mao, was it right for you to say no directly?" Xu Lie sneered: "Overseas market? As far as I know, at present, my uncle's production capacity is quite limited, and it is not enough to sell in the Dragon Kingdom alone. Therefore, I guess they will not be able to explore overseas markets for the time being. ”

Even so, Xu Lie will not easily let the Western devils succeed.

"Not for the time being, but when?" The other Rhine, Duncan, asked again.

"This is not clear to the contemptible people, but I can help you inquire." Xu Lie didn't block this opening.

"How long will it take to find out?" Duncan asked again, it seems that the people of the Rhine are in a hurry.

"Three months, you can come and ask for news in three months." Xu Lie thought about it and gave a time. In Xu Lie's opinion, after three months, even if it is a Rhine ghost, Xu Lie may not be afraid.

……

Xu Liezhi was not very afraid of the Rhinelanders, but he considered a problem, which he had to think deeply about, and even had to go to Yang Reform for advice.

This problem is the Shandong problem. According to the relevant agreement between the Qing court and the Rhine, the territory of Shandong has become the sphere of influence of the Rhine, and if you develop in Shandong, or if you want to find an outlet to the sea in the direction of Rizhao, will you have a conflict with the Rhine ghosts? If there is a conflict on land, Xu Lie is not worried, but what if after the conflict, the access to the sea that he has obtained is blocked by the Rhine warship?

In addition, what if one's own development is strongly opposed by the Rhine, is it necessary to establish two enemies of the Qing court and the Rhine at the same time?

When Xu Lie thought of this, he felt a sense of crisis. If it really falls out with the Rhinelanders, it is very likely that the Rhinelanders on land will not be victorious, but on the sea it is a strange state that Xu Lie is invincible.

Perhaps, the people of the Rhine country have no special opinion on their own access to the sunshine to the sea, after all, it is the land of the Qing Dynasty, and they can't control it. But its powerful relationship Xu Lie must be clarified.

"The people of the Rhine don't have to worry!" When Xu Lie returned to the munitions warehouse to ask the timer, Yang Gai immediately gave a conclusion.

Xu Lie thought to himself, you are just talking on paper.

But Yang Reform still has a reason: "Just because you're afraid of the Rhine now doesn't mean you'll be afraid in the future!" In fact, as long as you defeat the upcoming encirclement and suppression of the Qing court and occupy the counties south and east of Laiwu, even the Rhines may not be willing to confront you. As for access to the sea, have you forgotten your pocket submarine? I guess you can move the submarine to a new plane, right? ”

"The problem is that the Rhines will always get in the way when they stay in Shandong." Xu Lie thought that in another year, the people of the Rhine country would start construction of the Jiaoji Railway.

"When you get access to the sea, your strength is enough to fight with the Eight-Nation Alliance, and you are still afraid of a Rhine? You won't be bolder after crossing over, will you? Yang said in a rather unkind tone.

"What do you mean, whatever the people of the Rhine think, it will be hard at that time?" Xu Lie asked.

"Hehe, there's a saying about people like you." Yang Gengai said with a smile.

"What?"

"The bigger the official, the less daring he is."

"Mao, what kind of official am I?" Xu Lie also felt that he had lost something.

"It's true that you are not an official, but you have established a country within a country, and you are already a king, how can you be considered an official?" Yang Gengai teased.
