"My lord, according to what you said, if this industrial park is completed and put into operation, it will definitely attract the attention of the world powers." Wang Shizhen somewhat understood what Wang Sirui meant, and deep down she also noticed the difference in this industrial park.

If Wang Shizhen was still a little suspicious of Wang Sirui before, and even resentful, then now, this idea has been quietly changed.

Because through a brief exchange, Wang Shizhen discovered that Wang Sirui is not just a reckless man who likes to get guns, while developing the army, Wang Sirui has not forgotten the foundation of a strong country.

If Wang Sirui's industrial park can be put into operation smoothly and stabilized, I am afraid that just relying on this industrial park, Wang Sirui will be invincible.

It can be said that the gap between Yuan Shikai and Wang Sirui is no longer a matter of half a star, and the two of them are completely people from two different worlds.

While the former is still trying to find out how to gain greater power, the other person is already quietly doing business, and at the same time giving up the development of the army.

It's just that Wang Shizhen didn't expect that while Wang Sirui was developing industry, he did not give up the development of the army.

"Yes, the great powers may not intervene to stop it, but they will certainly steal the core idea of this industrial park. However, we can't stop this, we can only work hard to maintain our advantages, so that those who steal our ideas will continue to follow in our footsteps. Wang Sirui said in high spirits.

"However, with our country's current industrial strength, as long as foreigners study hard, I am afraid that in a year or two at most, our advantages will disappear without a trace." Wang Shizhen frowned, he found that Wang Sirui is not only a person who dares to do, but also a person who dares to think, such a person is beneficial, but in the same way, there are also disadvantages.

From the appearance of Wang Sirui personally appearing on the construction site and directing the workers with the drawings of the construction site, Wang Shizhen can guess that Wang Sirui is also a person with an extreme desire for rights.

If you work under such a person, unless you can gain the extreme trust of the other person, you will not be able to move an inch.

However, even so, Wang Shizhen is still very willing to talk freely with Wang Sirui, because Wang Sirui cannot not let him go for the rest of his life, and after leaving, he can rely on his connections to sell this idea to those businessmen, and even it is not impossible to set up his own company.

Although Wang Shizhen has always held an important position in the army, in fact, Wang Shizhen's political talent cannot be ignored.

As Wang Sirui's first step in dividing Yuan Shikai, it was to win over Wang Shizhen, of course, there is a more important reason, in history, Wang Shizhen did not make a move to deviate from Yuan Shikai, but forgot about political affairs and did not participate in the struggle for power and profit, in this regard, he performed better than Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang.

"At no time should you underestimate your own strength. The four great inventions were created by us, and in this world, there are many things created by our ancestors, but it is only because of the ideology of the upper class that these inventions are finally carried forward by foreigners. This is enough to prove that it is not our people who are ignorant, but those who are at the top. Wang Sirui said lightly.

Wang Shizhen nodded secretly, and recognized Wang Sirui's words, there are indeed many things in the world that were invented by them, but due to the lack of policy support in the later period, or those upper echelons did not see the importance of these inventions, they ignored these things, and as a result, there is the current situation.

If these inventions had just appeared and had been used in the right place by the upper echelons, would there have been so many troubles later?

"My lord's words are reasonable, but I am ashamed of myself!" Wang Shizhen clenched his fists and self-destructed, but in fact, his move was tantamount to giving Wang Sirui a signal, a signal of goodwill.

"Alas, although I have a full head of ideas, but I am always alone, and there is no reliable right-hand man by my side, so I can only do everything in person, tired, really tired." Wang Sirui sighed.

"My lord, I am willing to follow my lord and revive my Han rivers and mountains together." Wang Shizhen clenched his fists and said, his attitude was much more serious than before.

Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang on the side were a little dumbfounded, although they were also subdued by the ideas Wang Sirui said, but they didn't expect that as Yuan Shikai's most trusted person, he was the first to rebel.

And with Wang Shizhen's statement, the positions of Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang are much more embarrassing. It is not difficult to hear from Wang Sirui's voice that Wang Sirui has the intention of recruiting Wang Shizhen.

On the other hand, Yuan Shikai's letter to them has also made it very clear, Yuan Shikai knows that the general trend has gone, and he wants them to grasp their own destiny, if they are willing to continue to contribute to the country, they can follow Wang Sirui, if they are unwilling, they can find their own way out, Wang Sirui will not embarrass them.

It is not difficult to see from this letter that Yuan Shikai seems to have reached some kind of agreement with Wang Sirui.

And the most angry is undoubtedly Cao Kun.

He finally got close to Yuan Shikai's big tree, and gradually became Yuan Shikai's henchman, but before he could spread his wings and fly high, the big tree had already collapsed.

Wang Shizhen and the three of them had already proved themselves by Yuan Shikai's side, so it was not difficult to find a good way out for Wang Sirui, but he was just a small commander, and a casual regiment leader under Wang Sirui looked stronger than him, and Cao Kun was even gradually a little discouraged.

"My lord, the country has been weak for a long time, Duan believes that if the country is strong, the army will be strong, and if there is no strong army to support the country, then the country will never become strong, so the adult should temporarily focus on the military industry." Duan Qirui also followed suit and put forward his own views.

Wang Shizhen, this old guy doesn't understand better than anyone? Even Wang Shizhen was the first to defect, what else did the two of them have to hesitate about?

Could it be that they still expect Wang Shizhen, who has rebelled, to protect their secrets?

"Yes, if the country is strong, the army will be strong. The development of the military industry is inevitable, but without a complete set of complete civilian industrial system, it will not be able to support the huge military industrial system. The meal must be eaten in one bite, and the road must also be walked step by step. I know what Zhiquan thinks, but there are some things that can't be rushed. Wang Sirui also did not feel angry because of Duan Qirui's recklessness, but was a little proud because of Duan Qirui's attitude.

He just wooed Wang Shizhen, but he didn't expect Duan Qirui to be moved so easily.

Although history has proved that Duan Qirui is also a talent with both military and political skills, Wang Sirui does not want Duan Qirui to enter politics, at least, it is impossible for the three heroes of Beiyang to join the army or politics at the same time, and only by separating them can we avoid malicious competition between them.

"But we must be prepared, otherwise, if the war starts, our army will lose all supplies." Duan Qirui continued, and brought himself into Wang Sirui's side, the purpose was not to let Wang Shizhen be favored alone.

Although Wang Sirui's youth is a bit excessive, it is a little difficult to accept letting a few old foxes go to Wang Sirui to compete for favor, but Wang Sirui's ability is not comparable to them.

If Yuan Shikai is still there, then they still dare to argue with Wang Sirui, now everyone knows that if they don't mess with Wang Sirui, once they return to Shandong, there will inevitably be a fight between the three of them, and the entire Beiyang will be torn apart, which is not good for the country and the people.

"Yes, we have to be prepared, and I have no reason to hide it from you. In fact, the factory where you are located is my arsenal, which is a large arsenal with an annual output of 140,000 rifles and 8 million bullets, which is enough for us to supply in the short term. Wang Sirui said in a showdown.

The reason why he chose to meet the three of them here is not that Wang Sirui is really busy and has no time. Instead, Wang Sirui wanted to persuade them with actions, in fact, it was one of Wang Sirui's arrangements to take them to the barracks first and show them the strength of the Han army.

has strong military strength, and also attaches importance to industrial development, under Wang Sirui's comprehensive layout, can Yuan Shikai still be able to compare with him?

"What? This ......" Wang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, and Feng Guozhang were instantly shocked by the news leaked by Wang Sirui, and even Cao Kun, who was a little disheartened, was also shocked.

The annual output of 140,000 rifles and 8 million bullets has exceeded the total output of all domestic arsenals.

Similarly, this also means that Wang Sirui only needs one year to arm at least 100,000 troops, and Yuan Shikai has only expanded the army to 20,000 after five years of development.

"Yes, I have reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement with the United States, and the Americans will provide us with these machines and equipment, and if nothing else, in a month, these equipment will be docked in Tianjin." Wang Sirui said.

"Americans?" Wang Shizhen frowned fiercely.

However, Wang Sirui saw Wang Shizhen's reaction in his eyes, and couldn't help explaining: "Don't think about it, this is just a money transaction, we give money, they give equipment, it's as simple as that." ”

"But I'm afraid it will take a lot of money, right? We have so much money? Duan Qirui asked suspiciously.

"If you were also fighting in the capital when the coalition army entered Beijing, I am afraid you would not be as poor as you are now." (To be continued.) )
