Shi Dakai had already received Guo Ye's telegram, and he was already mentally prepared for such a thing.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, first, the Chinese Empire is helpless to sell weapons, you also know that our Tsarist Russian Empire is a big war, the two sides invested nearly 600,000 troops, which is only a lot more than your country's Austro-Prussian War, this war is too much for us, and it cost our Chinese Empire 70 million silver dollars, even the financial resources of the Chinese Empire are simply unbearable, we need to return a part of the funds as soon as possible to relieve the financial pressure."

Wilhelm II was dissatisfied: "Mr. Marquis, you can also sell us these heavy machine gun weapons, can't we Prussia afford them?" ”

Shi Dakai smiled slightly and replied: "Your Majesty, this is our second reason, we have already sold more than 2,000 heavy machine guns to your country on a priority basis, and helped your country agree to the states of the German Confederation, but, at the same time, we are also facing huge diplomatic pressure, you must know that more than 2,000 heavy machine guns are enough to change the military pattern in Europe, and your country's military strength can even match or even surpass them in Britain, France and Russia, and now all European powers are putting pressure on us, How can we sell military weapons to your country again? ”

Wilhelm II snorted coldly, his face softened slightly, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Then your country can also sell weapons to other countries, right?" For example, the United States? Why sell to the French, don't you know that we are now on the verge of being with the French and have to send it? Sooner or later, this battle between the general law and the general public will be fought, and no one can avoid it! Your country is selling so many heavy machine guns to France in one go, which will completely break the military balance between us and the French army, and our Kingdom of Prussia will fall into a completely passive situation! Your country is too uninteresting! ”

Shi Dakai took a deep breath and replied: "Your Majesty, even a powerful weapon such as a heavy machine gun still has its huge limitations, he can stand on defense and hold the position like an impregnable wall, but their huge size limits the speed of their movement, and while slowing down the speed of the march, they will also become the priority target of the enemy's artillery group. If your country wants to win the Franco-Prussian War, it is unrealistic to rely only on heavy machine gun firepower, you must have other killer weapons! ”

"Other killer features?"

Wilhelm II frowned and asked, "Mr. Marquis, what do you mean by this?" Nowadays, the difference in industry and technology between Prussian law is also between the two sides, we have it, and they also have it, especially after they are equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns, we can no longer grasp any advantage......"

"It's okay,"

Shi Dakai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you Prussia does not have a killer weapon, it does not mean that our Chinese Empire does not, you and I share weal and woe, advance and retreat together, at this critical time, isn't our killer weapon your country's killer weapon?" Without enough confidence, how can we sell a large number of heavy machine guns to the French Empire and let them use them to invade Prussia? ”

Wilhelm II's eyes lit up instantly, and the Chinese Empire still has a killer feature! That's great! If others talk to her, he will definitely not believe it, but now it is the Chinese Empire, and it is the Marquis of the Chinese Empire who is telling him, of course he must believe it, if there is any country in the world that still has unknown weapons and equipment beyond the existing army, it must be the Chinese Empire!

"Mr. Marquis, I wonder what kind of killer weapon your country has?"

"Artillery, a new generation of artillery with performance far exceeding the existing main artillery equipment of various countries, whether it is range, accuracy, or the lethality of shells, is far better than the new generation of artillery of the current European artillery, and our Chinese People's Army will call it the Howling Tiger series artillery!"

Artillery?

Wilhelm II was surprised: "Your Excellency Marquis, is this cannon really so powerful?" ”

"That's nature!"

Shi Dakai said proudly, "According to the domestic news I just got, this kind of Howling Tiger series artillery, our Chinese People's Army has just been equipped with an artillery regiment, and now it is in full production, in the past Jiangdong Campaign, the first division of the Chinese People's Army only relied on an artillery regiment, it withstood the siege of three or four infantry divisions of the Russian army for several days, relying on this kind of powerful artillery, with one enemy three, hehe, I don't know if the most elite artillery regiment in your country, when facing the artillery of the Russian army, can it be one to three? ”

Forehead......

Wilhelm II is arrogant, and he will not be so arrogant that he will use the Prussian army to play with the Russian army to fight one enemy and three enemies, in that case, I am afraid that the Prussian army will not be able to withstand it for even two days, and it will be completely defeated!

Now Wilhelm II is really a little unbelievable, such a powerful artillery, it turns out that he has never heard of it!

"Really?"

Shi Da laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you can wait patiently for two or three days, and soon, the minister of your country will send you a message......

Yes, just when Wilhelm II questioned Shi Dakai.

Similarly, the current Prussian minister to China, Count Barak, also expressed his dissatisfaction with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, and as a result, Zhang Chunping, who was in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, left without saying a word.

"General Zhang, where are you, where are you going to drag me to?"

Count Barak dissatisfied.

Zhang Chunping said with a smile: "Mr. Minister, don't be in a hurry to protest against us, today I will take you to see a gift we have prepared for your country!" ”

"Gifts?"

"What gift?"

Barak said angrily: "General Zhang, what gift can be more valuable than the heavy machine gun weapons you sold to the French Empire?" I heard that you personally presided over this meeting, and that it was more than 2,000 heavy machine guns, and it would pose a great threat to our Kingdom of Prussia! You're so sorry friend! ”

Zhang Chunping smiled, ignored Barak, and shouted to the military staff officer on the side: "Kong Linghua, immediately pass my order to the military camp in Nanyuan, at noon, I will accompany the Prussian offensive Count Barak to inspect the military camp and tell them to get ready!" ”

"Yes, Chief!"

Kong Linghua agreed and hurriedly ran down.

Zhang Chunping then shouted: "Someone, order the War Department Guard Company, prepare war horses, and we will immediately go to Nanyuan to inspect!" ”

After a short time, the guard company prepared the war horses, and a cavalry platoon protected Zhang Chunping and Barak and the embassy personnel and ran towards the Nanyuan barracks.

Barak was full of suspicions, not knowing what kind of medicine Zhang Chunping's gourd was selling and what he was doing? What are you doing with me visiting the Nanyuan Barracks? There, when I was just stationed in the Chinese Empire, Chen Hai, the army commander at the time, accompanied me once, and there was nothing special about it......
