Chapter 597: The Prime Minister's Vision

The first two days were to copy all kinds of machinery, from ordinary machinery to heavy machinery, and then to warships, the industrial flower of Germany's construction in Qingdao, in a certain way, so that the northwest gained huge benefits, especially hydraulic presses and large processing machines, which are almost impossible to import from abroad.

In the next 5 days, Yang Yuanzhao is in the all-in-one machine, according to the plan of the previous order, the replication machine qì, these will be temporarily stored in the space, will replace most of the machines prepared for Jiangnan Shipyard, especially the 1200-ton hydraulic press, which can replace the previous 5 200-ton hydraulic presses, so that the processing capacity is stronger, the most important thing is that it must be controlled by others, and it must be handed over to the United States or Germany to process the keel of the 10,000-ton giant ship, which can be processed with a 1200-ton hydraulic press.

This is also the fundamental reason why Japan, even if its strength is not good now, it is better - excellent - small - say - more - new - most - fastest - WWW.UUXS.CC - gritting its teeth, but also on the hydraulic press, gradually climbing. This is the most important weapon of the country, and he is missing. Every qiē will be subject to others, after Japan's victory over the Qing Dynasty in 1895. For 20 years in a row, Japan invested most of its national income in the navy and became a naval power step by step, but it took decades to do so several times, and by 1920, Japan's navy was only at the forefront of the world, not the strongest naval power, now China. It's even worse.

Sorted out all the similar equipment, a total of 7 sets were produced, which were used to improve the Jiangnan Shipyard, which was at least 30% higher than the previous plan, and the Jiangnan Shipyard would be more powerful.

For seven days, Yang Yuanzhao spent peacefully in Qingdao, and for Yang Yuanzhao, who was eager to learn, he suddenly quieted down. Staying in the hotel and not coming out, Mu Mo was also a little strange, and after some observation, he found that Yang Yuanzhao was really quiet. He was also relieved, there are many military forbidden places in Qingdao, even him. It also takes a series of applications to get in, which is different from a battleship. That represents the secret strength of the German army in Qingdao, and if Yang Yuanzhao really wants to visit where to visit, it is really troublesome.

Qingdao has calmed down here. On the other hand, the German political arena has been noisy because of this shipyard, the focus of the debate is the issue of sovereignty and orders, capitalist society, in fact, many things, can be discounted and sold, but the sovereignty and land to sell, history has proved countless times, this is definitely a loss-making deal, France sold to the United States, Russia sold to the United States, and eventually created a huge United States of America, and Qingdao, Shandong, which is the land of the Chinese, can easily have a port where warships can be stationed, Germany has definitely spent a lot of effort in Qingdao, and it is impossible to sell it for no reason.

In front of Wilhelm II, senior officials of the German government engaged in a fierce competition, and the dominant question was whether to give him certain authority, which was a matter of principle, and some hawkish officials believed that they should refuse without hesitation, which was in line with Germany's position.

However, there are also many people who raise objections, and the Secretary of the Navy, the Chief of the General Staff, and the War Department are also involved, not to mention the port matter, but to cooperate with the military of the Northwest.

In the face of the quarrels of many subordinates, Wilhelm II also had a headache, divided into two waves that no one could convince anyone, and even began to attack each other, the situation was in danger of getting out of control, but at this time, Wilhelm II noticed that as the head of the government, Bateman-Holwig had not spoken, and it stands to reason that he had the most say in the political situation.

Bateman noticed Wilhelm II's gaze, he knew very well that at this moment, he was not expressing his opinion, it would be too late, coughed dryly, and said: "You have been discussing for a long time, and I don't understand much, how did the northwest infringe on German sovereignty?" ”

The minister of commerce and trade and the ministry of industry who supported the northwest was overjoyed, and the minister of foreign affairs next to him pondered for a while, and when he was about to refute, Bateman continued: "It is obviously a commercial issue, but it involves politics, and we have an antagonistic relationship with the British. ”

The old man's words hit the nail on the head to put the facts clearly, in fact, most of the high-ranking officials who oppose it, they have fallen into a misunderstanding, the northwest wants to demarcate land in Qingdao, and it is natural to think of recovering the lease or sphere of influence, because the current northwest has this strength, Russia's million-strong army is really not a joke, the northwest can annihilate them, Germany has only a total of only a few people in Qingdao, one or two thousand regular army, this is not a horizontal line at all.

Of course, Bateman still avoided some things, the establishment of a shipyard in the northwest may be just the first step, and next, with the strength of the northwest and the increase in the control of Qingdao, the issue of sovereignty must be mentioned on the table, but as the prime minister, Bateman is very clear that the primary problem at present is to deal with the challenge of Britain, expand the armament war, and the northwest as a storage that can help Germany in all aspects, as a storage that fully supports Germany, in this case, reject this obvious good intention, It's not worth it at all, there are priorities, and there are major and secondary contradictions, as long as you get through the British hurdle now, can you talk about the future of Qingdao?

"What the Prime Minister said is very right, isn't it just a factory, the ministers can discuss how to increase our war potential in terms of potential, this time in the northwest, it is still very good!" Wilhelm II followed suit.

The support of the emperor and the prime minister, coupled with the military's unanimous point of view, in fact, this matter can already be settled, not that no one has thought of the future sovereignty issue, but in this case, it is no less than the mantis arm as a car, just kidding, before the sovereignty issue can be used to prevaricate, but now, Bateman has made it clear that the northwest can be regarded as an investor, but considering the issue of investment and factory construction, some conditions can be discussed, such as expanding the ability to produce warships, which is related to the northwest, The combination of the conditions given, even the ministers who opposed it, had to admit that the conditions given by the Northwest were too great, and under the premise of six more large docks, under the huge order of 400 million US dollars, any problem became completely unproblematic.

Some officials of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of the Navy began to discuss how to divide these orders, six docks of more than 30,000 tons, these are all ships that can produce capital ships, these things, if they get the full support of Germany, one side will produce technology, and one side will produce technology and senior personnel, which seems to be a perfect combination, which is for the interests of both sides. All are a huge guarantee.

What the Northwest lacks is the manufacturing technology of large ships, skilled workers have, and the dock only costs money, but how to integrate these together to form a joint force, so that the Northwest has the ability to manufacture large warships, and even capital ships, which is difficult, if there is no one to guide it, maybe it will take twenty or thirty years, and this is the case with China in later generations, even if it has the strongest and largest shipbuilding capacity in the world, there is no way to produce large capital ships, and it must be explored step by step.

In this era, for the production of capital ships such as battleships, far less secrecy than later generations, the United States is in the support of the United Kingdom, obtained manufacturing capacity, laid the foundation of the future navy, now, the northwest with a strong manufacturing capacity and huge funds to impress Germany, Germany also needs to expand production capacity, because the current German warship production capacity has reached the limit, it is impossible to expand, the emergence of the northwest, is equivalent to a icing on the cake, the possibility of expanding the navy, these soft power, Under the order of 400 million US dollars, almost a window paper will be broken as soon as it is poked.

One side is deliberate, one side is trying every way, almost all have come to the same road, of course, it is easy to reach a consensus, when the telegram crossed the whole world, and finally transmitted to this side of the ocean, Mu Mo notified Yang Yuanzhao as soon as possible, so that he could start to make preliminary preparations, and the specific order needs to be interviewed next.

Hearing the news of Mu Mo, Yang Yuanzhao's heart is settled, no matter what, the plan that has been planned for a long time can be implemented, the all-in-one machine can copy any mechanical equipment, but people and experience, he can never copy it, this point is the most important for the high-precision manufacturing industry, as long as Germany is willing to teach, so that the Northwest has the identity of entering the Naval Manufacturing Power Club, the Northwest can pay any price.

Coming to the Northwest for so long, creating the glory of the Army, thanks to Yang Yuanzhao's vision and the help of the all-in-one machine, but the Navy is another problem, even Germany is decades of exploration and hard work, and has taken a lot of detours, which has come to this day, and now with the basis of this cooperation, as long as the Northwest makes enough efforts, digs deep into the internal potential and properly applies industrial workers, the day when the Northwest will manufacture large capital ships will definitely not be far away.
