Itself, Yang Yuanzhao is also ready to go around the world after the domestic situation stabilizes, and strive to expand the level of China's manufacturing industry, especially after coming to Qingdao, seeing Qingdao's high-end machine processing, Yang Yuanzhao really realized that perhaps in light industry, and ordinary scale cumulative industry, the northwest can rely on the all-in-one machine, relying on Harpy to buy from the world to gradually scale and industrialize, but it is impossible to buy large machinery that really determines heavy industry and manufacturing.

Just like China before, you can buy a gun, but it is 75 mm at most, and it is impossible to do more than 100 mm, not to mention the artillery production line, you can afford to buy a gun, and even the production of guns can be, but the bullet production line is extremely difficult, if it is not for a large number of military factory engineers in the northwest to solve the problem with an all-in-one machine, I am afraid that now, the bullets and shells in the northwest may not be mass-produced.

These can be solved, but the most critical place that really determines the manufacturing and processing industry is the country's heavy weapon, which is absolutely unbought, for example, more than 10,000 tons of hydraulic presses, free forging presses, large-format processing machine tools, industrial machine tools, these things, in the face of the top industrial production of this era battleships, are absolutely things that cannot be bought, even if Germany helps the northwest to build a dock, these things are impossible to import, at most Germany provides accessories, and the northwest does a job as an assembler.

Traveled to this world, want to change the fate of the Northwest and China, how can Yang Yuanzhao only be an assembler, from scratch, with independent construction capabilities, is the future of the Northwest and China, so he has two roads, one is to build his own, through the principle deduction, step by step, and finally build a northwest and belong to the Chinese country, which is feasible Yang Yuanzhao's vision, coupled with the all-in-one machine's anti-heaven action, it should not be difficult to do this, but it takes time, as little as seven or eight years, More than ten or twenty years, this is not the best choice for the early 20th century, when war was already imminent and the future was uncertain.

Fortunately, Yang Yuanzhao has an all-in-one machine, and he has another way, that is, to use the all-in-one machine to scan drawings and then copy them, as long as he has the opportunity to contact these important weapons of the country, he will definitely be able to.

The great powers of this era, for the country's heavy equipment is tightly protected, mainly to avoid exports, these things, but also an important part of highlighting a country's manufacturing capacity, think about it, if you go to Germany, it should not be difficult to visit them, contact will not be difficult, these things are powerful, but each is hundreds of tons, or even 10,000 tons of weight, under normal circumstances, there is no special army to take care of, as a leader of a friendly region to visit, it should be possible.

He is very aware of Yang Yuanzhao's position in the northwest, and has also thought of urging the high-level leaders in the northwest to visit Germany, which is the key to deepening the relationship between the two, but unfortunately the outbreak of the First World War in Mongolia makes any assumptions futile, and in the face of this war that may be a gamble on the fortunes of the country, the actual controller of the northwest is impossible to leave the northwest.

Now that the war is over, Yang Yuanzhao took the initiative to visit Wèn, of course, he was welcomed, and after contacting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through guò, and after receiving an affirmative reply from the minister, he invited Yang Yuanzhao with the etiquette and procedures of the head of state.

You must know that the current Yang Yuanzhao is at best a regional leader, which is the same level as those kings of the German Confederation, and after knowing the importance of Germany, Yang Yuanzhao is very satisfied, and he can be regarded as having a certain status.

The diplomatic invitation requires some procedures, and Yang Yuanzhao also needs to arrange some things in the northwest, and the two sides agreed that in a month's time, they will set off from Qingdao, and when the time comes, Mu Mo will personally accompany him.

A month is enough time for Yang Yuanzhao to settle down in the northwest, plus he needs time to produce and expand the equipment of the Jiangnan Shipyard, although in the plan, these equipment will be imported from Germany, but from the order to the installation of the machine, at least ten months, more than one or two years, this time, he has no time to waste, so he simply cheats again, and leaves the equipment behind, as long as enough foreign experts and engineers are invited to help. If you think that these devices are successfully installed and put into use, it will be enough in a few months.

Before leaving, Yang Yuanzhao thought for a while, and then quietly told Mu Mo a news, according to the information obtained from the northwest channel, Britain was expanding its armament war, and asked them to pay attention.

Mu Mo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that when Yang Yuanzhao was leaving, he would tell him such a question, there are many contradictions between Britain and Germany, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the intelligence department mainly monitor the United Kingdom, but Britain has no action.

No matter what, even if you don't believe it in your heart, Mumo is also a qualified diplomat, and the information obtained from various channels will be reported in accordance with the procedures, and soon this information will be transmitted back to Germany through a special channel, and it will be transmitted back to Germany with a password, and when it is replaced by another time, maybe this information will be like ordinary information, and it will be silent, after all, the Far East has obtained information from Europe, and its credibility is not high, but now, it is the key to compete for the $400 million order, and all the information about the Far East is stared at by special senior officials, Along with this message, Yang Yuanzhao's visit to WÈN, which almost directly alarmed the foreign minister and the prime minister, and because of this, this information directly entered the minister's eyes.

To be honest, the German government in this era is still relatively capable, and the foreign minister is the same, and the vision is there, otherwise it will not force Britain to retreat step by step, the foreign minister saw this first of all, he did not believe it, but he naturally thought of the construction of the Baghdad railway and the action against Russia, let him see the firmness of Britain standing behind Russia, and a Russia that joined later made them attach so much importance to it, not to mention France, the Anglo-French alliance was an earlier alliance.

The Entente has de facto encircled Germany and Austria-Hungary, and Britain has begun strategic preparations for the mention of Far Eastern friends, which is also a good intention, if before the point is raised, it is not easy to find out, Britain is to keep top secret, even if it is a little slower, it must be completely secret, which Germany did not find out at all.

Out of belief in its allies in the Far East, Germany still investigated, some things, no one mentioned before, it is unlikely to be found, if there is really a point, after pointing to the final result, it is easy to find the answer, Germany's intelligence department spent a few days, in several important numbers of war reserves jù summarized and calculated, and got the result, Britain is definitely in war readiness, a lot of materials are available on the surface, but from British channels, it is impossible to buy.

Now, even the most ordinary intelligence officer can be sure that Britain definitely has a move, and the action is not small, which is completely contrary to the principle of free trade, which Britain has always advocated, and in this case, seventy or eighty percent are sure that Britain is already secretly preparing for war.

Diplomacy and intelligence are three percent sure, and they have already paid more attention, not to mention that seventy or eighty percent of the grasp of this matter immediately reached the heavens, and directly got Wilhelm II, who was almost furious, scolded the intelligence department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then let the government arrange according to this, and many aspects were secretly changed.

This is also one of the major events that changed the course of World War I studied more by later scholars, until many years later, when the German foreign minister wrote his memoirs, he still felt very strange why his friends in the Far East got this information faster than them, and the northwest at that time did not have enough ability on the intelligence front.

Germany doesn't understand, but Germany's mention of the northwest is still admitted, Germany continues to communicate with the Far East, many aspects have made relatively large concessions, and under the leadership of the prime minister, Germany has also begun a secret arms mobilization, some of Germany's production is small, for the military industry and other aspects of particularly important materials, Germany has also begun to import and reserve, a certain process, changed the development of Germany, at least, 4 Byrne-class super dreadnought, will not become two because of the lack of various materials, Out of gratitude to the Northwest, some dispensable places can be compromised.

Germany has made a huge change, not only to the dockyard, but also to the dockyard drawings, even the Caesar-class battleships, and some cutting-edge cruisers and small warships, which can be opened to the northwest, and it can be said unceremoniously that most of the drawings can be provided except for the strongest King-class and Byrne-class super-dreadnoughts, let alone ordinary merchant ships.

Among the merchant ships, in addition to the latest cutting-edge, the world's largest cruise ship drawings, there are some cutting-edge merchant ships that must be kept secret, and most of the remaining levels of commonly used merchant ships are open to the northwest, although Yang Yuanzhao can get through guò time, step by step to approach these merchant ships, and get the drawings of these merchant ships, but it is completely different from the full set given directly, the drawings of the all-in-one machine, at most, only to help the construction, but Germany gives not only the drawings, but also all the improvement and development directions, as long as you understand these, In terms of shipbuilding, the northwest can completely approach the level of Germany around 1908, which is a huge, leapfrog development.

Even, these drawings still have the process of development, the help to Yang Yuanzhao is far from being as simple as it seems, these can be said to be backward, some outdated drawings, taken here by Yang Yuanzhao, but it is an incomparable treasure, Yang Yuanzhao has no design ability, but the all-in-one machine has, the identification system can determine the performance indicators of all aspects of this drawing, he is like a game, under the adjustment and collocation, you can complete the design of the battleship, this is the most critical place, the northwest is already in the potential, Possessing the ability to design and build super-dreadnoughts, the nations of the world, including the British-led powers, knew nothing about it, and Northwest and Germany, so far away from the continent, began a secret process of cooperation, not only arming China, but also changing the future of battleship sea warfare.
