The machining and output of various parts and the cost can be thrown off the current Austro-Crarian Empire in the future, and when the day turns, Gao Hongsheng began to receive those who came with all kinds of questions, and he was faced with these fragmentary parts problems, which made him completely numb.

There are problems everywhere, all kinds of problems, from materials to processing methods, and even cutting tools for processing, which can be easily solved by a rural agricultural machinery repair factory in later generations, but in this era it has become a big problem, a big problem that cannot be crossed.

After seven or eight days of continuous struggle, Gao Hongsheng found that the problem was mainly focused on the lack of a large number of bearings and gears in this era and some modern and very common standard parts, especially all kinds of bearings and gears are simply like a roadblock, blocking the improvement of machining accuracy and the rise of mechanical product life.

As far as the bearing is concerned, although the British began to produce bearings in 1880, the Germans established the world's first bearing company (FAG George Schaver Company) in 1883, and the Americans also opened the ND bearing factory in 1889, but in 1905, the Germans used SAE52100 high-carbon chromium steel to manufacture rolling bearings, and it was not until 1920 that it was widely used in the manufacture of rolling bearings, which is the first generation of special bearing steel used in the world's rolling bearing industry.

There is no special bearing steel, then we can imagine what those so-called bearings will become, and the so-called bearing factories at that time are generally very small, the daily output is only a few sets to hundreds of sets, the equipment is simple, the technology is backward, most of them are produced by experience, the material is mainly carbon steel, the accuracy is not guaranteed, the variety is rare, the use is also very limited, but the price is very high.

When Gao Hongsheng and Ferdinand engaged in the factory, he did not consider the bearing thing at all, after all, modern bearings are everywhere, you can buy all kinds of general bearings in a hardware store, if you enter a professional bearing store, there are tens of thousands of various bearings for you to choose from.

But now the situation is that all kinds of bearings for tractors have become a big problem, saying that they can be mass-produced, but the bearings are ordered from the British and Germans, not to mention the high price, but the reliability and durability have become a big headache.

The same variety of gears are also facing such problems, special gear steel is not yet available, the machining accuracy is not enough, broken teeth, uneven occlusion, jitter is a common thing, especially for the transmission gear of marine gas turbines, due to the relatively high speed of the gas turbine, the problem of reduction gearbox is more prominent, which directly affects the safe operation cycle of the gas turbine.

In the end, Gao Hongsheng had no choice but to use the simplest method to order various bearings, gears and some standard parts needed here from later generations, otherwise, these insurmountable obstacles would not be able to deal with at all.

In fact, there is also an advantage to this, the most basic advantage is that the relationship between Austria-Hungary and him will only be closer, otherwise without the bearings, gears and standard parts that he supplied to future generations, the industrial system based on these high-quality and cheap parts may collapse at any time, such as tractors, using various bearings, gears and standard parts provided by Gao Hongsheng to assemble tractors can travel hundreds of kilometers without failure, and with the British and German bearings, gears and standard parts assembled machines, It's not so lucky, basically running twenty or thirty kilometers will make a strange sound, less than 100 kilometers is guaranteed to lie on the nest.

In the following half a month, Gao Hongsheng had to go back and forth three times to turn all kinds of bearings, gears and standard parts ordered from Hyundai to this era, and provided them to those factories built by him in cooperation with Ferdinand at a high price, and at the same time these parts were also strictly controlled, and they were not allowed to appear on the market at all, even if there was a problem of damage replacement in the future, but it was also a trade-in policy, although it would be slightly troublesome to do so, but it could most effectively control the possibility of the outflow of these parts.

As soon as these things were over, Ferdinand and the Spanish minister came together to tell him the good news.

The Spanish minister said with a flattering smile on his face: "Mr. Gao, after my efforts during this period of time, the matter of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's lease of the southern Philippines and Sabah region has been proposed by the regent Queen Mother, and after discussion by the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and other officials, in the consideration of the long-term friendship between the two countries, Spain will lease the South Philippine Islands and the Sabah region to the Austro-Hungarian Empire for a period of one hundred years from now on. You can take a look at these details. ”

The reason why this guy flattered Gao Hongsheng so much was that the activity funds given by Gao Hongsheng, 500,000 pounds was a huge amount of money, he deducted 100,000 pounds, and the remaining part was remitted to those greedy officials in China in batches, so that the resolution was passed so quickly on the government's side.

After receiving the draft of the telegram that had been translated, Gao Hongsheng glanced at it, and the general meaning of the entire agreement was that the matter of leasing the South Philippines and Sabah region was completed, but he didn't know what Ferdinand had done with this guy, so he was stunned to stuff a monarch-class battleship that had just been sun-dried into the agreement, and the price was 1.1 million pounds. There is also the replacement of the new 75mm rapid-fire guns that were supposed to be supplied to Spain with the 120mm cannons and 150mm cannons originally produced by the Skoda Arsenal. The 120-mm cannon is only 26.6 times the caliber and has a range of only 8,000 meters, which is basically the same as the firing range of the seven-five-millimeter rapid-fire gun modified by Gao Hongsheng, but the 75-mm rapid-fire gun weighs only a little more than a ton, while the weight of the 120-mm cannon is 1,700 kilograms, which is a full 600 kilograms. That's not all, but also replaced the Mauser rifle that should have been provided to the Spanish government with a 7.92 mm M1895 Steyrman Lixia rifle, and I don't know how this price is done, it is simply slaughtering Spain as a Kaizi, and the price of those weapons is going up, as black as it is.

However, these things have nothing to do with Gao Hongsheng, just how much pounds he and Ferdinand can save, as long as the heavy machine guns and light machine guns provided to the Spanish colonial army are not replaced.

He really didn't value artillery and rifles very much, because the artillery of the Spanish troops in Cuba and the Philippine colonies was not too weak, but still very powerful. The main reason is that the number of machine guns equipped with their army at that time was too small, and now Gao Hongsheng has supplemented this shortcoming for them, so those Americans lined up in a dense formation of the army will have a lively look.

After a general look, Gao Hongsheng asked with a smile: "Has this news been announced?" ”

The Spanish minister smiled and said: "No, it has not been announced, but our secret agreement with Austria-Hungary will not be announced." ”

Ferdinand also smiled and said: "This kind of secret agreement will not be announced, and we will only have the option to announce it after Spain really goes to war with the United States." ”

"Well, actually, Mr. Minister, there is another thing that you can also do by the way, and that is to lease Guam and the Mariana Islands to Germany, I think the Germans will be interested, and if you want to earn another commission, I am more than happy to offer you."

Gao Hongsheng waved the banknote to the Spanish minister again, but he was so bored to toss there, if he pulled the Germans over to toss together, it would be interesting, according to the history After the Spanish-American War, Spain also sold the Mariana Islands to the Germans, and now it is only a year in advance.
