Looking at Mu Mo's departure, Wang Shizhen once again walked out from behind the screen behind him.

But this time, Wang Shizhen's face was full of melancholy.

The iron ore that the Japanese were so hard pursuing, Wang Sirui gave it to the Germans for free without even blinking an eye, but in exchange for some military technology.

The technology of the Krupp cannon and the Mauser rifle is easier for Wang Shizhen to understand, after all, these are the things they are currently lacking, but what is the technology of Carl Zeiss? At least he, Wang Shizhen, has never heard of Carl Zeiss.

"Hua Ren, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate!" Wang Shizhen sighed again and again, before that, Wang Sirui did not reveal anything about this conversation to him, but only before the conversation, Wang Shizhen was allowed to continue to observe.

Therefore, Wang Shizhen had no chance to intervene at that time.

"What's wrong?" Wang Sirui asked rhetorically.

"The Germans produce more than 6 million tons of steel a year, and we are giving them one-third of their output, while the Japanese produce only 50,000 tons of steel a year. Moreover, the reputation of the Germans in our country is not good, and once this deal is leaked, I am afraid that it will cause resistance from the people. Wang Shizhen said his reasons.

"The Japanese are different from the Germans, although the Germans have a poor reputation in our country, but there is one thing that cannot be ignored, the military technology we need most at present is only available to the Germans, and the technology of several other countries is relatively backward behind Germany.

Now let the Germans come and go, five years later, this steel plant with an annual output of two million tons, then it will be ours, ready-made machinery and equipment, mature steel workers, and in exchange for these conditions, it is just the steel that we do not lack the most, for us, this transaction is still very cost-effective.

And, more importantly, the Germans were far from the Far East and had a British blockade on the sea, while the Japanese, who were separated from us by only one strait, were a greater threat to us than the Germans. Wang Sirui retorted.

"What if the Americans, the British and the Japanese join forces to put pressure on us?" Wang Shizhen continued to ask.

"It's possible that the British and the Japanese wear the same pants, but as for the Americans, they can't pee in the same pot as the Japanese. Even if they join forces to exert pressure, it is just pressure, they don't dare to do it with us, as the so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.

Once the war resumes, we will refuse to pay Gengzi indemnity, and at this time the Japanese will tighten their belts to live, and the war is about money, without money, the Japanese can only go to the great powers to borrow, as long as we can support it, drag it can also drag the Japanese to death.

And the British are now deep in the Boer field, they do not want to open a second theater in the Far East, and the Americans, who provoked the war, now have no reason to continue the war, they have got everything they want.

In addition, we are fighting on our own soil, and even if Japan and Russia join forces, we will not be without the strength to fight. Wang Sirui continued to explain.

Of course, there is another point that Wang Sirui did not explain, that is, the quality of individual soldiers.

If the quality of the individual soldiers on the Han army's side was not good when the coalition invaded before, then when it came to the counterattack on the capital later, why did it go so smoothly?

In addition to the proper use of tactics, there is another important reason, after several months of rigorous training, in terms of individual soldier quality, the Han army has surpassed most of the coalition forces.

Take the British, for example, their recruit training period is about a month, in this month, they just simply train their physical fitness, and then go to shoot, master how to use weapons, and after doing this, they can basically leave the army.

The tactics of the troops in the later period were all learned after the troops were dismounted. This kind of troops, only after experiencing a life-and-death battle, can survive can be called elite.

And for this kind of training method, Wang Sirui was a little embarrassed, so he chose the traditional training method of later generations, and conducted all-round training in the new barracks, at least, when the recruits left the barracks, they had to know some basic tactics.

The situation of these two kinds of recruits after going down to the army is not the same, even if they go to the battlefield immediately, the combat effectiveness of the latter is far greater than that of the former, they just need to force themselves to calm down and not be frightened by all this in front of them.

If it is said that the great powers will control Japan and make Japan dare not start a war easily is Wang Sirui's first hole card, then the second hole card is these troops in Wang Sirui's hands.

For now, although the 4,000 recruits in the recruit camp have not yet been assigned to the troops, they do have the qualifications to go to war.

If this matter can be postponed for three months, then Wang Sirui will be able to invest at least 30,000 more troops later.

Of course, the premise is that he has enough weapons and equipment.

"In that case, the only thing we can do now is to hide this matter and keep it from the Japanese as soon as possible." Wang Shizhen finally agreed with Wang Sirui's idea, what can be done if he doesn't agree?

Obviously, Wang Sirui had already thought of countermeasures before doing this, and asked Wang Shizhen to come over to listen, in fact, it was just to let Wang Shizhen take over the rest of the matter.

"Concealment is certain, but there is no need to deliberately deny it, at the appropriate time, some news can be leaked out, but it is necessary to bite a little, the Germans pay for our steel." Wang Sirui said.

Wang Shizhen nodded secretly, having said this, he had already understood what Wang Sirui meant, although this idea was very good, but in Wang Shizhen's opinion, it was still a little too risky.

In case they anger the Japanese, these 205 desperately run to the northeast to spread wilderness, as the central government, will they take care of it or not? This has a lot to do with Wang Sirui's reputation.

But having said that, Wang Shizhen still supports Wang Sirui's decision. It would be better to make the Japanese angry and send troops into the northeast. And it is best for those Manchurians to rise up and resist, borrow the hands of the Japanese, kill the resistance of Wang Sirui in the future, and then go to clean up the Japanese, killing two birds with one stone.

"I'll take notice." Wang Shizhen nodded, and then continued: "The equipment in the industrial park has basically been debugged, but the workers are still not very skilled, and I am afraid that it will affect the production process." ”

"If the Americans are paid to work overtime to teach these workers, and some clever people are selected to go in and study, the factories must be in full swing by mid-May." Wang Sirui said with a headache.

Although these workers were recruited in advance and gave them some simple courses, they suffered from the lack of machinery and equipment, and the new machines taught to them were also ignorant of the new machines, and the results were very unsatisfactory.

In addition, Americans do not know Chinese, and there are some problems in communication between the two parties, and the number of translators prepared by Wang Sirui in advance is still too small, so who is the busiest person in the entire industrial park now? It has to be a translator.

…………

In the far northeast, the Shengjing General's Mansion welcomed a special guest today.

For this guest, it can be said that there is no one in the entire Shengjing General's Mansion who welcomes him, but this person is very big, and they don't even dare to refuse.

Even Shengjing General Chongshan could only greet this envoy from Japan with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, General, for your hospitality!" Mura Shotaro thanked Chongshan with a smile on his face, but he didn't take Chongshan too seriously in his heart, after all, he was a defeated subordinate of them, so what qualifications did he have to respect?

"I wonder why your visit is important?" Chongshan asked a little angrily.

He really didn't want to deal with the Japanese, because Chongshan basically still had an enmity with the Japanese, and even almost lost his life. So for the Japanese, Chongshan has always been very vigilant.

"I'm here to help Your Excellency." Masataro Mura continued to say with a wicked smile on his face.

"Help me?" Chongshan was a little puzzled and couldn't figure out the purpose of the Japanese.

"Yes, your court has been controlled by Wang Sirui at present, what does this mean, I'm afraid I don't need to say that the general is also very clear, right? If Your Excellency can lead the troops back to the capital, defeat Wang Sirui, and rescue your royal family, then I think Your Excellency the General can at least be crowned the king and worship the marquis, you say, are we helping you? Masataro Mura said.

Hearing Muramasataro's words, Chongshan was suddenly shocked.

Obviously, he also noticed the abnormality of the court recently, but he didn't receive specific news, so he could only stand still, and even be complacent, as long as he could ensure that his position was okay, what else was there to worry about?

It's just that what Chongshan didn't expect was that the imperial court was controlled by Wang Sirui, but wasn't Wang Sirui already dead? Could it be a Japanese trick?

"Tell me about your purpose!" After thinking about it, Chongshan still decided to test the Japanese first, anyway, he didn't believe that such a good thing would happen to him.

"We want iron ore, we want iron ore in Shengjing, and externally, the General's Mansion is developing these resources, as a condition, we will unconditionally provide His Excellency the General with 20,000 rifles, 4 million bullets, and 50 heavy machine guns." Masataro Mura spoke out about the conditions of the Japanese.

And such generous conditions made it a little difficult for Chongshan to refuse, but he didn't dare to agree to the Japanese, because once the imperial court was not controlled by Wang Sirui, then his behavior would bring him ruin.

After a long time, Chongshan finally gave an answer, neither agreeing nor refusing, he needed a specific message before he could make a decision.
