Chapter 42 Iron and Steel and Chemicals

Chen Cheng said that China and Japan could cooperate privately before, and Aoki Xuanchun asked: "Then how can we cooperate?" ”

"For well-known reasons, China's current navy ....... Basically, there is none. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chen Cheng said: "So there is no need for the navy to say it."

Aoki Xuanjun's heart jumped, this Chinese navy was wiped out by the Japanese. As everyone knows...... As we all know, it's a fart, and it's nothing more than self-deception to say that. In terms of China, although the army does not have a comprehensive advantage, in terms of navy, Japan is now able to completely crush China.

He was a little apprehensive, but also a little proud. He did not want Chen Cheng to mess up the matter of cooperation because the Japanese Navy had wiped out the Chinese Navy, and he was proud of the great martial arts of the Japanese Empire. It's because he thinks too much, except for some naval officers inside, such as Deng Shichang and others, Chen Chengcai doesn't have a good impression of the Beiyang Naval Division.

"Since the Navy has nothing to do with us, let's talk about the Army." Chen Cheng said with a smile: "The war between the year before and the year before has shown that rapid-fire weapons are playing an increasingly important role in the current army. Then, the consumption of ammunition will also increase, and the amount of steel and gunpowder consumed will also increase. ”

"Yes, that's true." Aoki Xuanjun nodded and said, "Especially heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns" Speaking of this, he frowned and said, "Is it to export weapons and ammunition to our country again?" I'm afraid that those people in the War Department are unwilling, and they don't have more money to buy weapons. ”

"Forehead .......", Chen Cheng really planned to sell weapons to the Japanese, but since people said so, they could only directly talk about the later matters. He smiled and said, "No, I don't want you to buy more weapons. Rather, they want to have some cooperation in intelligence. ”

Intelligence cooperation? Aoki Xuanjun immediately lifted his spirits. When he came to China, the most important thing was to do intelligence work, which was his profession. The new Minister of War Gentaro Kodama sent him to China for only three purposes: 1. To jointly organize espionage against Russia with China. 2. Destroying the Russian army's communication lines after the war, 3. Instigating horse thieves to harass the Russian army. In this way, Aoki became a military attache of the Qing Legation for the third time.

Now that Chen Cheng has talked about intelligence cooperation, he has naturally accepted his spirit, and he quickly said his idea of how to form a joint intelligence organization against Russia. These are all things that he has been thinking about for a long time, and considering the current situation in China and Russia, he naturally has his own unique features.

Chen Cheng listened and nodded incessantly. After Aoki Xuanchun finished speaking, he smiled and said: "Aoki-kun is really far-sighted, so this matter of intelligence cooperation is dominated by Aoki-kun." ”

Kindness? Aoki Xuanchun was stunned, this is too casual, right? When he was in a daze, he saw Chen Cheng give an order outside, and then a young man in a straight military uniform walked in.

After the man came in, he "brushed" the ground upright, and then said loudly: "Jiang Shuisheng, come to report!" ”

Chen Cheng stretched out his hand and introduced: "This is Aoki Xuanchun, this Jiang Shuisheng, and you will be responsible for the intelligence work against Russia in the future." I hope everyone will work together to drive those Omi ghost animals home. ”

The term "Omi ghost animal" is worn in Japan to refer specifically to white people. This Aoki Xuanchun also knew, but how could the person in front of him suddenly use this word? And the officer who came in was too young, right?

Jiang Shuisheng is the name Aoki Xuanjun who has never heard of it. However, the information of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Black Dragon Society, the Five Tiger Generals and the Thirteen Taibao has always been incomplete, except for the public information, the rest of the people have always been mysterious, maybe this person is one of them?

However, it is not.......

"It turned out to be Mr. Aoki," Jiang Shuisheng squeezed out a smile on his serious face, and said, "In Xiajiang Shuisheng, please give me a lot of advice." ”

"Contemptible Aoki Xuanchun, please also ask Mr. Jiang for more advice."

"Alright, alright, if you want to communicate, there will be some time later." Chen Cheng interrupted their greetings and said, "Shuisheng, you go out first, prepare some information, and exchange information from the Russian side with Aoki-kun." ”

"Yes!" Jiang Shuisheng gave a military salute, and then withdrew.

"Aoki-kun, Aoki-kun?" Chen Cheng shouted twice in a row, calling Aoki Xuanchun's god back, "What is Aoki-kun thinking?" Let's move on to the matter of cooperation. ”

"It's nothing, it's just a little surprised by Mr. Jiang's age." Aoki Xuanchun suppressed the doubts in his heart and said, "Well, I will have a good exchange with Mr. Jiang about intelligence." ”

"No, I'm not talking about intelligence now." Chen Cheng said: "Steel and explosives are needed to fight wars, and I want to strengthen cooperation with the Japanese Empire in this area and establish a steel production plant and a combined fertilizer production plant." ”

Aoki Xuanjun became excited and said, "Do you want to accept the investment of my Great Japanese Empire?" ”

"It's not investment, it's cooperation," Chen said, "Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has trained hundreds of thousands of industrial workers, but the level of industrial development is not satisfactory in terms of quality or quantity." As a late-developing country, China also urgently needs to develop heavy industry in order to meet the needs of national defense and other aspects. I think there is a need for cooperation between us and the chemical and steel manufacturing industries. ”

"If you cooperate, who will be in charge? What is the respective ratio? Aoki Xuanchun calmed down and said cautiously: "Where is the factory established?" And how to calculate the distribution of product sales and profits? ”

"Since it is to build a factory, it is natural to operate in a purely commercial mode."

"Pure business model?"

"That's right," Chen Cheng nodded, "If you operate with a pure business model, then everyone won't suffer." In terms of proportion, let the merchants negotiate for themselves, we will provide the technology and equipment, and the Japanese side will be mainly responsible for the workers and sales outside of China. As for the location, what do you think of the three places of Liaoxi, Handan, and Tangshan? ”

"Are factories going to be built in all three places?" The conditions sounded very good, but Aoki Xuanjun felt that there might be some traps in this.

"Of course, among these three places, Handan's infrastructure has been built well and can be used directly. The geographical conditions of Tangshan and Tonghua in western Liaoning are very good, and the nearby mineral resources are sufficient to meet the needs...... Well, what do you think?
