【2nd Update】

On the day after Wang Li met Schleier, the foreign minister of the German Empire could not wait to rush into the chancellor's office, but Chancellor Hohenlohr was holding an important meeting of the German army and navy, and he was not free at all, which made Schleier anxious outside, but fortunately, he soon saw an important person - Colonel Seidon, head of the naval cabinet.

The man had just returned to Berlin overnight from Hamburg and brought with him a joint proposal with Tirpitz, the head of the Imperial Navy Office, hoping to add 5 million yuan to the Navy Modernization Fund on the basis of the 98 Navy Act, of course, the content of the transformation is the Typhoon 90 series fire control platform and the new Scud torpedo provided by China for technology research and development.

And Colonel Seydon was able to occupy an extremely important cabinet seat in the three major organizations of the German Imperial Admiralty (the Imperial Navy Office, the Imperial Navy High Command, and the Imperial Navy Cabinet), and naturally he had his merits, in addition to having a strong anti-British stance like Wilhelm II, he obviously also had a strong strategic outlook.

"The British are planning to build a long railway line starting from South Africa, across Africa, connecting Cape Town to Cairo!" Hearing the news, Colonel Seydon almost jumped up, and he even pulled Schleier in surprise to confirm the source of the news, and soon, the news also alarmed Prime Minister Hornlore, who was presiding over the meeting.

In the evening, Wilhelm II met with Wang Li, the Chinese minister to Germany, at the Brunswick Palace, and Chancellor Hohenlohr, who led the foreign policy of the German Empire, and Foreign Minister Schleier were all present.

Wang Li naturally understood the reason for the nervousness of the Germans, for Germany, which had two African colonies on the east and west coasts of Tanzania and Namibia, the Transvaal Republic and the Boer sphere of influence sandwiched in the middle. It has great utilization value. And if Britain is convinced that it will open this great railway that runs through the north and south of Africa. Then the war of the British against the Boers would be inevitable.

As the only white country in Africa, the existence of the Transvaal has become an important checkpoint to prevent the British from going further into the interior of Africa, and it is based on this that Wilhelm II will sing against Britain on the Transvaal issue without any scruples.

After some discussion, Wang Li gushed and demonstrated his news, and even pointed to the gossip that some British companies were planning to operate funds, which also confirmed the accuracy of the previous news on the other hand...... Qin Kai had no scruples about revealing the news to Germany at this point. Naturally, it was in the hope of leading Germany to play a new card on the question of the Boer War.

Qin Kai was well aware of the ambitions of Kaiser Wilhelm II, but the Kaiser often took matters into his own hands, which was fully exploited by the British in the Boer War...... He did not expect the Boers to defeat the British again and win, but he did not have the slightest idea of helping the British to achieve victory, and to allow German intervention in some way would definitely make the British Empire sink deeper into the quagmire of the Boer War.

Therefore, in this secret German high-level meeting, Wang Li solemnly proposed to the German Wilhelm, "If the war in the Transvaal is inevitable, then Germany must provide sufficient support to the Boers in the early stage...... The Boers have made enough money from the diamond and gold mines of the Kimberley for more than a decade. Enough to pay for the inflated military spending! ”

The secret conversation lasted for two full hours, after Wang Li left. Wilhelm II had a confidential conversation with Chancellor Hornlore with a complicated expression, and then Foreign Secretary Schleier met with Minister Wang Li in Germany two days later, and he brought an official reply from the German government, "Ambassador Wang, His Majesty the Emperor has decided to accept the construction of your country, and we will do our best to prevent the British invasion of the Transvaal, but ...... Germany will not intervene in the Transvaal! ”

When Qin Kai received news from Germany, and on the same day, a telegram from Xu Shoushan, commander of the Pacific Fleet, was also on his desk, and the smoke of the Boer War had already risen on the African continent.

However, although the navy had acquired an important base in Maputo, consolidated the local power in just two years, established an important stronghold along the Maputo River and extended westward to the outskirts of the Transvaal, all he cared about was how to complete the control of local resources and new territories, and if possible, he did not mind doing war business, but he would never compete with Britain in that barren land...... The reason for this is that there are only three values - not worth it.

The value of the colony will soon be drowned in the rolling wheels of history, unless the population can be covered and the whole control can be achieved, otherwise, the huge investment in administrative costs, the output of the colonial economy is completely unaffordable, and in the end, instead of promoting the development of the country, it will be a delayed business.

With a stroke of his pen, he directly granted Maputo's arms business to the Intelligence Department to handle it specifically, taking advantage of the fact that the war was not starting and the Boers had money in their hands, he didn't mind making a fortune first, and these benefits would easily consolidate the entire Maputo territory and quickly establish a Chinese immigration area, as for the future of Maputo's territory, to be honest, as an ocean-going supply point for the Deep Blue Navy, I am afraid it is Qin Kai's most direct need.

Xu Shoushan's interaction with the British, this is the result that Qin Kai is happy to see, the British Empire, as the world policeman of this era, almost the whole of Europe has been offended by the British, however, the strength of the British, they are not afraid of offending people, once there are interests, the British, as long as they are soft and hard, they are not afraid of not finding the grass on the wall......

And I have never thought of doing anything, but there is absolutely no need to stimulate the nerves of the British, the Pacific Fleet's peaceful visit to the United Kingdom is undoubtedly to show Britain China's desire for a peaceful rise, and after a real fight with the British, the British gentlemen will obviously have a new understanding of the rise of China!

However, Qin Kai's top priority now is not for the layout of the Boer War, but for the new proposal that the Congress has just passed guò, for the split of the Ministry of Education and Health, in the ten years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ministry of Education can be described as brilliant, the strength of the entire country has been mobilized, and finally last year the basic education system covering more than 1,400 counties and more than 6,000 villages and towns in the country was completed.

At the same time, the provincial universities have also reached an unprecedented abundance, and 21 public and 33 private universities have been established throughout the country, including overseas provinces...... This year is the graduation season of the first generation of young students after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which means that the education system led by itself has completed its long-awaited primitive accumulation and entered the harvest period of blossoming and fruit.

This is why the National Assembly convened a question to the Ministry of Education and Health a month ago, although the number of doctors trained by regular medical schools is not small, but, considering that the military medical system of the Nanyang system still has a huge demand for medical talents, in fact, the resources of doctors who really flow into the social medical system are very scarce.

Zhang Jian, Minister General of the Ministry of Education and Health, is not at all a point of view that can be reversed in just over a decade for the construction of the domestic medical system, and that the dominant Chinese medicine is not at all able to be reversed, but precisely that Chinese medicine maintains the weak medical system in China...... This gave the new government enough buffer period.

However, domestic traditional Chinese medicine still maintains the traditional training model, the journey from apprentice to doctor will be a long process, and among them, the situation of becoming a quack abounds, and what makes Qin Kai deeply disturbed is the domestic fertility survey led by Qi Da Meinu personally, and now large hospitals have been set up in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Fuzhou and other places, the infant mortality rate before the age of 5 is still as high as 30%, and in the township, this rate will be an astonishing number.

Children have no future, and neither does the country!

On October 28, Qin Kai wrote an article published on the headline of the China Times, expounding the country's determination to establish universal medical care, and on October 30, Qin Kai issued a cabinet decree to split the Ministry of Education and Health into the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health, appointing Luo Shou, who is proficient in traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as the first Minister of Health, and announced that a 10-year development plan will be established to establish local state-run hospitals in 1,400 counties across the country in advance to provide basic medical services to the people, and the local council will supervise the investment of 10% of local revenue into local medical funds.

He personally wrote an article in the China Times on November 3 calling on students to actively apply for military medical schools and participate in medical training, and announced that the Ministry of Health will organize the Chinese Medical Association to officially recognize and evaluate the domestic medical system, including traditional Chinese medicine, and at the same time will enact national legislation on doctors' qualifications to elevate the profession of doctors to a level of importance.

After a series of decrees were issued, the first person to come to Qin Kai was not the newcomer Minister of Health Luo Shou, but the black-faced Minister of Finance Tang Shaoyi.

Qin Kai obviously had already thought about it, and immediately gave an answer that made Tang Shaoyi grin, and he said very simply, "Then let's cut off the part of armament production that is not profitable first!" (To be continued......)
