"Solution, how do you solve it?" Crown Prince William was thinking about how to refuse, so that Yang Yuanzhao could pay attention to it, but he didn't expect that Yang Yuanzhao would say this, which in his opinion, was almost impossible to solve.

"Of course there is a way, won't Crown Prince William listen to me?"

Crown Prince William and the technicians behind him looked at each other, and they all looked at Yang Yuanzhao in surprise, Yang Yuanzhao scanned their expressions and movements, and proposed a solution straight to the point.

The Northwest can sign an agreement with Germany, and the personnel of the three docks going to China, the ship-building capacity of their first ship, can be provided to Germany to make up for the losses caused to Germany, on the other hand, China can also send enough personnel to work on the German side, although in terms of ship-building capabilities, China is still a novice, and there is no comparison, but in terms of senior technicians, the Northwest is not lacking,- Excellent-Excellent-Small-Say-More-New-Most-Fast-WWW.UUXS.CC-Not every field of shipbuilding needs skilled, familiar shipbuilding workers, some basic trades, senior mechanics can take over, at least after a little adaptation, you can also take over.

This was a fresh suggestion, which was beyond the expectations of Crown Prince William and the negotiators, and several shipbuilding professionals and industrial professionals inquired through guò, especially how many workers the Northwest had, and their faces immediately changed after knowing what a large contingent of workers the Northwest had.

Millions, or even tens of millions of industrial workers, this number is enough to make Germany look sideways, at present, Germany, urbanization is only a dozen percentage points, with an urban population of no more than 15 million, which also has to remove a large number of public servants, merchants, aristocrats and urban citizens, real workers, will not occupy half, that is to say, this backward, once could not even produce matches and screws, only a few years, so many industrial workers have emerged.

No one will believe it directly, but really recall it carefully, the Northwest has created a miracle in the past four years, 20 million tons of steel, strong railway production capacity, infrastructure construction capacity, all of which show that the Northwest has a strong industrial capacity, and now, it is just putting a qiē in front of it.

This is just a preliminary contact, can't, and it is impossible to reach all the intentions in one contact, Yang Yuanzhao put forward the conditions, after the Crown Prince William listened, basically reached a preliminary intention, the German side confirmed that Yang Yuanzhao really has a full set of drawings, has taken out a lot, and Yang Yuanzhao also recognized the German side of the trading plan, and put forward his own requirements, Prince William took people back, Yang Yuanzhao also calmly waited for the news.

Exchanging workers, replacing familiar workers with capable workers, this is a method that no one has ever thought of, Yang Yuanzhao proposed a method that the German top leadership has never recognized, the advantages and disadvantages of this method will not be said, but in terms of the difficulty of implementation and solution, this is a good method.

The strength of a country mainly includes industrial production forces and resources, and for Germany, resources are gradually accumulating, and the same is true for industrial production capacity, and it is difficult to have a big improvement. Germany, with a total population of only about 67 million, has a population that has been exerted to the extreme, agriculture, industry, and military, these three major blocks, all need people, and in the war, people's things can almost be brought into full play, the reason why Russia is so backward, but occupies such a large territory, and even Britain and Germany need to win them over, the reason is that the population of 175 million is the largest in Europe, and they are also countries that can mobilize 10 million troops at will.

Germany's development, after all, was a little late, and it was only after the Franco-Prussian War that it completed its unification and established its position in Europe, its urbanization level was lower than Britain's 34.6 and the United States' 22.1, higher than France's, and its urban population was close to 15 million.

The urban population, in this era, is an important number, and most of these people, with the exception of some wealthy merchants, are workers, and the workers represent the productive forces of a country.

Germany has exerted this productivity to the extreme, the Ministry of Industry is always considering, how to give full play to this productive force correctly, and has also made some adjustments, almost to the extreme, but once the war breaks out, millions of workers must be transferred, how to make up for this gap, there are so many cards in the hand, the lack of this side, must be used that side to make up, this is no way to do things, the prime minister and ministers, almost are thinking, how to reduce this influence to the minimum.

Aside from others, in all fairness, the condition proposed by the Northwest is not high, that is, let them use the price of a super dreadnought to help the Northwest produce dreadnoughts, if they can achieve a certain effect, 3 dreadnoughts may not be much less than 1 super dreadnought, the most important thing is that The Northwest also paid for the 13.5-inch gun, but some things can't be counted like this, Germany has one less, and in the confrontation with Britain, it will be at a significant disadvantage, whether the Northwest can travel production capacity, it is still a problem, if it is not qualified, it will be a complete loss.

It is this hesitation that makes things almost into some kind of dead end, Yang Yuanzhao's idea, but like another door, opened the door for their excitement, from another aspect, to improve the manufacturing level of the whole country, as long as the funds are sufficient, it can be on the original basis, bigger and stronger.

Adjust the industry, find out the necessary types of work, some primary, as long as you can pass the guò assessment of the type of work, you can completely release it, with Yang Yuanzhao promised that there are so many workers in the northwest, as long as the language is passed, it seems feasible to leave some necessary translations, in this case, Germany has only paid two designers, this is not unacceptable, even at the critical moment of designing the Bavarian level, 5 designers and 4 designers, may delay the overall progress for a month or two, But higher productivity and enough workers can complement this.

Including Wilhelm II, after discussing for a long time, everyone thought it was good, but they couldn't make a decision, after all, they didn't know much about the northwest, more only indirectly, relying on this to judge, the matter that decided the fate of the whole Germany, no one could afford this responsibility.

Wilhelm II was so clear that he directly ordered and said: "On the shipyard side, make a slight adjustment, first adjust some people, without affecting the overall construction period, first go to China with the designer to help the construction of the Qingdao shipyard, and tell Yang Yuanzhao to let him send people over, send 5,000 people first, as long as these people are qualified, 2 qualified, you can add a German worker of the same kind to the northwest, until the 3 docks can be produced." ”

What Wilhelm II proposed was a plan that did not harm Germany at all, and whatever they saw in the north-west, they saw a real, twice as many people, which not only did not reduce the German productivity, but rather increased in some way, so why not?

Shipyards, especially the dockyards that build warships, can really be regarded as the core irreplaceable workers, the number is not very large, as long as this part remains stable, or a part of the backbone is left, it can be completely withdrawn, those people are not all unqualified, but with qualifications, there is no space and platform to perform, now give them a platform, with the help of the northwest to Germany to train talents, is a mule is a horse out of the slip, this is also a good choice.

Wilhelm II made the final decision, at this point, the dust has settled, Yang Yuanzhao heard it, he was extremely excited, it was two for one, this seems to be a loss, but is this really the case? In Yang Yuanzhao's view, not only is it not a loss, but it is a big profit.

The shipbuilding industry is the weakest place in China, even if there are skilled workers in the Jiangnan Shipyard, even if it is a machine that has been taken down with huge sums of money, but civilian ships are already the limit of what the Jiangnan Shipyard can do, perhaps with the help of some old workers and engineers, it is definitely unreliable to be able to design a warship, let alone a battleship, even if it is an ordinary 4000-ton cruiser like the Haiqi, it is impossible to manufacture.

Warship is a system engineering, not only the culmination of the scientific and technological level of this era, Britain, France, the United States and Germany, are in a long period of time, gradually formed their own production capacity, do not rely on the support and guidance of mature countries, want to break through, it is really difficult.

Now, with German experts, skilled workers, and shipyards, they basically have the conditions for construction, which means that as long as the Chinese workers follow the learning, they can learn certain skills, and in the future, they can obtain considerable shipbuilding capacity, and even directly build battleships, which is an opportunity, as for the workers sent to Germany in the northwest, they must suffer a loss, according to the requirements he established, Germany needs to bear the wages of these workers, The most important thing is that in the German shipyards, internships, as long as there are two or three years for this group of workers, to grow up, the role played is absolutely huge.

How can 2 times be enough, in Yang Yuanzhao's heart, three or four times, or even more, so that he can use the German platform to train skilled workers for the northwest, if it is not for fear of causing a German backlash, he even wants to change a batch every three or four months.

On the second day of Crown Prince Wilhelm's message to Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao, on behalf of the northwest, formally replied to Germany, they agreed to this intention, they would use the shortest possible time, mobilize workers to come, and the memorandum would be signed at a later date, a resolution that seemed impossible to achieve, so under the traction of the 13.5-inch naval gun, two countries separated by thousands of miles were contacted, and the future would have a far-reaching impact on the war.
