The so-called State Council, of course, can not be convened in one day, in addition to the macro strategic planning, will also involve a large number of transactional plans, want to develop the coal and iron mines in Zhili, you can, a separate establishment of the Coal and Iron Industry Bureau, then at least there must be the right person, to be responsible; The same is true for the formation of the Naval Academy, the general office is there, but what about the provost? What about the dean? Not to mention the huge system of building railways and shipyards? It's not something that can be done anytime soon!

The State Council lasted seven days. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

During the period of the State Council, the ministers of various countries were also not idle, and the Western countries recognized the existence of the Chinese Empire and sent legations to the Chinese Empire, and the first two things were to submit credentials and congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne.

However, Guo Ye has not yet received the action of the ministers of various countries, but he has waited for a telegram from Prussia first!

British Minister Fieldlet, French Minister Jabucci, and the new American Minister Montella have all received instructions from China to get a contract for the purchase of heavy machine guns from the Chinese leadership!

However, none of the three of them were the most anxious, the most anxious were the Prussians, and now the Austro-Prussian war was on the verge of breaking out, and the defeat was to defeat Austria, and Prussia would have to face an even more powerful France in the future! Must get a purchase contract from China!

Berlin, the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Bismarck, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, and General Moltke, Chief of Staff of the Prussian Army, sat opposite each other, two lifelong confidants and closest friends, who would bring the German Empire to its peak for the next thirty years.

The two of them had discussed five or six times in a row, and the only topic was the East, ancient China, a Great War of the Five Kingdoms that took place in China.

This war attracted the attention of all countries in the world, and also attracted the elites of Prussia's military and political circles.

"Bismarck, we must hurry up and establish diplomatic relations with the Chinese Empire, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I absolutely believe that Guo Ye will lead the Chinese Empire to the top of the world and establish a huge empire! Now they have a big war with Britain, France and Spain, the relationship between the four countries is rigid, this is our best opportunity, once we become close allies with the Chinese Empire, we will get great help, you must know that ancient China is vast, the area is larger than the whole of Europe, and the resources contained are innumerable, if their resources can be continuously imported into Prussia, then we will be unstoppable in Europe, even if it is England, it is not our opponent! ”

Bismarck nodded and said: "General Moltke, the establishment of diplomatic relations is a must, the important thing is that we must get the Chinese Gatling heavy machine gun, his power in the war is too great, at most another year, between us and the Kingdom of Austria, there will be a war, our military preparations are already in place, but the military strength of the Kingdom of Austria is also very strong, we must not be careless, and equipped with a large number of Gatling heavy machine guns, will be our most powerful war advantage!" We can easily defeat our opponents in war, and defeat is the future struggle with France for European hegemony, and it is also inseparable from such weapons! ”

Moltke said in a deep voice: "Mr. Prime Minister, the only problem we have now is that there is too little contact with China, almost no contact, how can we establish a solid relationship with the Chinese Empire?" How can we get the Gatling heavy machine gun we need as soon as possible? ”

Bismarck smiled slightly: "General Moltke, it turned out to be really difficult, but now I have found a good breakthrough, just two months ago, a Chinese came to Prussia, purchased machines in Prussia, went in and out of Prussian universities, and even military academies, this person is a great figure in China!" ”

Moltke was stunned, he was only in charge of the military, and for other things, he naturally didn't know as well as Bismarck, a great figure in China, what kind of character?

"Mr. Prime Minister, who deserves your attention?"

"Haha, this person is the original Wing King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of China, Shi Dakai! Don't underestimate this person, he is a rare famous general in China for a hundred years, seventeen years old to lead the army, nineteen years old to become a military commander, twenty-one years old to be crowned king, the following ten years, galloping in China, almost invincible, that Qing Dynasty minister Zeng Guofan was beaten by him to can't raise his head, it is said that even now his age is only in his thirties! Think about it, what were you doing in your thirties? ”

"Shi Dakai! It turned out to be him! ”

Moltke's heart was also shocked, although he was far away in Prussia, but China, as a world power, did not pay less attention to its situation, after all, where there were many wars;

Although I don't know too much about Shi Dakai, I also know that such a character is really dazzling, covering the aura of almost all the generals in the whole of China! The Chinese generals of the same period, Zeng Guofan Dashi Dakai was twenty years old, Zuo Zongtang Dashi Dakai was nineteen years old, Monk Greenqin Dashi Dakai was twenty years old, even the youngest Li Hongzhang was eight years older than Shi Dakai, it was this young man who almost never lost in the process of dueling with other famous generals!

Unexpectedly, this person actually came to Prussia!

"Mr. Prime Minister, this Shi Dakai seems to be a rebel in China, right? What can it have to do with the current Chinese Empire? ”

Moltke asked, frowning.

Bismarck laughed: "You don't know this, do you?" Although Shi Dakai and Guo Ye belonged to the Qing court and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom before, but later Shi Dakai led the army to surrender, Guo Ye tried his best to ensure that Shi Dakai did not die, and even exempted himself from imprisonment in Beijing, and still retained the title of the Wing King, going abroad to investigate, it can be said that Guo Ye attaches great importance to this Shi Dakai, I want to open Shi Dakai to go abroad for investigation, and he also left an arm for himself, that is, he is waiting for the military commander to be activated after the founding of the country! ”

As the Prime Minister of Prussia, Bismarck controls an extremely large intelligence system, and he knows this information well, it is obvious that Shi Dakai has been targeted by Bismarck, and this person is the most important person to establish relations between Prussia and the Chinese Empire in the future!

"So what do we do next?"

Moltke asked.

"It's easy!"

Bismarck said with a smile: "General Moltke, this time you personally come forward to meet Shi Dakai as the chief of the general staff of the Kingdom of Prussia, first make contact, and once you have the opportunity, you will put forward the affairs of establishing relations between Prussia and China, and ask him to mediate!" ”

"Got it!"
