Zhongjing, although the front line is still cold, but in March, Zhongjing, has recovered from the cold winter, faintly, some green flowers and plants began to sprout, green wheat fields, during this period of time crazy growth. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike Beiping, although Zhongjing has been transformed into a new capital, there is less commercial atmosphere in the crowd of people coming and going, and as a political capital, it is still very much in line with Wang Sirui's requirements at present.

The east of the Pinghan Railway was assigned to Kaifeng, and the area east of the Pinghan Railway has long since changed its appearance, and there is a faint tendency to become a new economic center, all of which come from the light of the capital.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Security has intercepted several telegrams, our goal has been achieved, and the Great Powers have taken the bait." Ma Sanru carried a pair of generals on his shoulders, stood in front of Wang Sirui and reported with a smile.

Ma Sanru is currently the only soldier in China who has not relied on his military exploits to obtain the rank of general, or in other words, Ma Sanru can no longer be regarded as a professional soldier, and it is more appropriate to describe it as a semi-professional soldier.

After several years of development, Ma Sanru's security intelligence department has developed into a behemoth with a number of nearly 100,000 people.

The Ministry of Security Intelligence has three departments, the Department of National Intelligence, the Department of Military Intelligence, and the Department of Foreign Affairs. As the name suggests, the Ministry of National Intelligence is mainly responsible for some internal intelligence collection work, timely grasping some issues such as the trend of the people in various places, and dealing with problems in a timely manner once they are discovered, so as to avoid causing greater contradictions.

The Military Intelligence Department is mainly responsible for the collection of military intelligence within the military and at the same time in China, such as Tibet, Xinjiang, Mongolia, and other areas that have not yet been recovered.

They are the vanguard of the army, and before determining the military mission to be carried out, they will send the aggregated information so that the military can get accurate information, such as the location of the garrisons in various places, the specific situation of the garrisons in various places, some information about the garrison commanders, etc., and even, if necessary, they can also rebel against the local people or the military.

However, due to ethnicity, the most active place in the Foreign Affairs Department is in Asia, especially in Japan, where there are thousands of intelligence personnel, and even some Japanese have joined this department.

This time, it was the Foreign Affairs and Information Department that intercepted the information, and they were responsible for eavesdropping on the cables of the international telegrams, and through several years of hard work, coupled with the infiltration of intelligence, they finally mastered the telegram books of various countries.

As for whether the intelligence was eavesdropped, with the current technology, it is not yet possible to detect it. Besides, wired telegraph eavesdropping is still very easy, as long as you find a place in the middle of the cable, a wire on your face, and connect it to a telegraph to receive a signal.

This cable is basically universal, but each country has a different code book, and there is no password, even if the information is received, it is a bunch of garbled codes, and it does not play any role at all.

"Is there any plan to obtain technical information about the tank through cooperation?" Wang Sirui was suddenly overjoyed, after preparing for so long and spending so much energy and manpower, he finally succeeded in getting the big powers to take the bait.

"Germany plans to buy our tank technology, and these funds will be deducted from the loan amount. Other countries are also interested in this technology, but not as much as the Germans, especially the Americans, who want intelligence agents in China to find as much tank data as possible and then send the data back to their car factories for study. Ma Sanru said.

"Hmph, what the great powers think is quite beautiful, we put down such a big bait, and let them take it so easily, how can we mix it up in the future?" Wang Sirui snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, do you want to strengthen the defenses of the factories and research institutes? In the future, it will be the main direction of attack for the intelligence officers of the great powers. Ma Sanru asked.

"No need, there are a large number of troops stationed there, and it is already safe in theory, and if a large number of intelligence officers are sent over at this time, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the great powers." Wang Sirui shook his head, and then said: "Make a plan, prepare to leak the information of the Wild Boar tank, and I will ask the research institute to come up with a set of technology to cooperate with you." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ma Sanru was instructed, and then talked about some other things, and then turned to leave.

At present, the domestic situation is relatively stable, with the gradual withdrawal of the country's industry, and the remaining enterprises have become leading enterprises in various industries, mastering the latest technology research and development, coupled with the entry of private capital, the domestic industrial capacity has increased by four or five times compared with two or three years ago.

Although tax revenues are still halved and will continue to be halved in the next two years, the country's tax revenues are constantly increasing, and once normal tax revenues are restored, they will be doubled in an instant.

In fact, there are many ways to increase taxes, and there are many more ways besides the most stupid looting of the people. For example, the way the Chinese Empire is now taking, a large number of industries are built, so that many daily necessities, and other products can be industrialized, and the biggest advantage of industrialization is that the price is low, because it is mass production, so the price will definitely not be too high.

Low prices mean that people's spending power will increase, in addition, a large number of factories need a large number of workers to work, work, there must always be wages, right?

Work, so that the people earn money, and after earning money, naturally to improve life, many commodities because of industrialization, are cheaper than before, plus the increase in income, but also make the people spend more and more generous.

After coming and going, the income of the factory has increased, and there is always a tax to pay, right? When people buy goods and the store makes money, they have to pay taxes, right? Now these commercial taxes alone have reached almost 200 million taels of silver a year, plus various other miscellaneous taxes, and now the annual tax revenue has stabilized at about 250 million taels.

According to this year's plan, if all the plans can be completed, the tax revenue is estimated to increase by 1,000 to 20 million taels of silver.

The state-owned enterprises that the state relied on in the past have now become money-losing goods, although they also have income, but they spend more, and more of their profits are used in technological innovation, and now the state-owned enterprises have basically developed towards selling technology.

Although this is also very deformed, it will make private capital more dependent on state-owned enterprises, so that they themselves give up technological innovation, every time as long as the state-owned enterprises launch a new technology, they only need to pay a technology fee to use this technology, and this cost is not even one thousandth of the research and development costs, one or two silver can be done, why spend a thousand taels of silver to do?

Regarding this problem, Wang Sirui also has a headache, but there is nothing he can do for a while, so he can only maintain it for the time being.

After a while, Wang Shizhen hurried over, the Prime Minister's Office was located next door to the palace, and in order to facilitate the Prime Minister's Office to come over to report work, Wang Sirui specially ordered someone to break through the walls of the two courtyards and open a small door.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the foreigners have taken the bait?" Wang Shizhen obviously got the information, but it is also normal, according to the time, he should have met Ma Sanru who had just left, and summoned Wang Shizhen, Ma Sanru knew, and Wang Sirui also indicated that this matter would be handed over to the Prime Minister's Office to be responsible, so it was reasonable to disclose some information to Wang Shizhen in advance.

"Well, the main task of the Prime Minister's Office next is to wait for the great powers to negotiate, and the technology of our Boar tank can be handed over to them, but in exchange, we only need the artillery production line, and if we are willing to transfer the full set of technology to us, we can give them more advanced tank technology. At present, the attitude of the Germans is relatively good, and they can use Germany as the main attack. Wang Sirui nodded and ordered.

The military industry of the empire has been developing very well, but the only thing that hurts is the development of artillery, not that artillery technology is not good, but that the technology of the artillery industry is not good, although there are not a lot of advanced artillery lying in the scientific research institute, but there are also three or five kinds, but because there is no suitable production line, it is impossible to produce those advanced artillery.

The artillery produced with the existing production line does not meet the technical parameters, and Wang Sirui has long wanted to buy technology from abroad, but artillery, a strategic weapon, is generally not sold to them, and even Germany has refused many times.

"I'll think about it!" Wang Shizhen said solemnly, use tank technology to exchange artillery technology? Wang Shizhen always felt that something was not reliable.

Wang Shizhen was personally responsible for the previous negotiations with the Germans, and the attitude of the Germans was very firm. And Wang Shizhen also visited the tank manufacturing factory, and knew that the technology of the tank is not particularly complicated, if you are willing to work hard, send a few knowledgeable people, and then let the automobile factory study according to the requirements, for three or five years, it will definitely be able to be studied.

Of course, the biggest credit for Wang Shizhen's idea is still on Wang Sirui's head, because this is how their tank was made, Wang Sirui kept asking for improvements, and finally got the first tank, and their first tank was only studied and finalized from the beginning, but it only took two years.

But Wang Shizhen didn't expect that the foreigners didn't have Wang Sirui, they had only seen the tank, but they didn't know what was inside the tank.

Retrofitting with a car? Well, that's the current armored reconnaissance vehicle, it's okay to resist the infantry, but when you really encounter a tank, you'll be stupid, to put it mildly, a cluster grenade can be killed.

"Tanks are not as simple as you think, now foreigners haven't even figured out cars, let alone tanks, we have ready-made technology that can shorten their research time by more than two years, just remember this." Seeing that Wang Shizhen was a little hesitant, Wang Sirui immediately spoke. (To be continued.) )
