Section 92 Partnering with the Pit Man

It's not easy to get Germans and Americans together in China. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In particular, after the Germans occupied Jiaozhou Bay and listed Shandong as a sphere of influence, they seriously violated the interests of the Americans.

The reason why we can come together is, of course, for the sake of profit.

After coming into contact with the two, Yang Chao's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Damn, sinister enough!"

Yang Chao couldn't help but scold.

The consuls of the two countries did not value Yang Chao's profits.

Tens of millions of taels of silver are just a lot of money for Yang Chao and a huge amount of money for the Qing government, but for the two countries of the United States and Germany, it is nothing, especially for the Americans, this money is nothing.

Moreover, the two arsenals already have the participation of the capital of the two countries, and the Kaiser himself has a stake in the Qingdao Arsenal.

Of course, what Yang Chao arbitrages is additional profits. By signing orders with two arsenals for all production capacity in the next two years, he monopolized all weapons and equipment in these two years, and then sold them to Japan and Russia at a high price to make more profits than the arsenals.

Yang Chao also thought that it was the Mauser, Krupp, Rockefeller and Morgan behind the arsenal who were jealous of Yang Chao's profits, so they asked their consuls to put pressure on Yang Chao.

Unexpectedly, the consuls of the two countries came to persuade Yang Chao not to sell all his weapons to the Japanese, but to keep some for the Russians.

"This is to make the Japanese bleed dry!"

Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh, even more than him.

It is not surprising that the Germans supported Russia, the Kaiser's previous arguments were all in favor of the Russians, but the attitude of the Americans is puzzling, because they seem to support the Japanese openly and secretly, and the Japanese have not issued fewer bonds in New York.

After thinking about it for a while, it became clear that it was very realistic for the Kaiser to want the Russians to fight the Japanese in the East, and that Russia had transferred Chen's troops on the German border to the East, and that Germany was desperate for their purpose to allow the Russians to expand eastward and clash with Japan in the East.

However, the Americans obviously hoped that the Japanese would win, because Russia's monopoly of Northeast China was not in the interests of the Americans. Moreover, the Russians occupied Lushun, and on the opposite side were Tianjin and Yantai, where the Americans had a lot of interests. So there is no doubt that the Americans supported the Japanese.

But just as the Kaiser supported the Russians, he did not really want the Russians to be developed, and the more Russians died, the happier the Kaiser became. The Americans, too, wanted to see the Japanese defeat the Russians, but the Japanese defeated the Russians too easily, and the next step was to replace the Russians.

Of course, Germany hopes that Russia will win a crushing victory, and then it will have to continue to stay in the northeast to guard against Japan, and the United States hopes that Japan will win a crushing victory, and then Russia will cede the northeast and let the interests of the United States be evenly distributed.

What Yang Chao didn't know was that after seeing the Japanese victories again and again, US President Roosevelt felt that he had gone too far in supporting Japan, but because of the attitude of the British, he could not openly obstruct Japan from continuing to raise funds in New York, so Roosevelt summoned the German ambassador to the United States, Sternburg.

Roosevelt Sr. told Sternberg: "It is in the interest of our two countries that we want the war to go on for a long time." In this way, Japan will not be able to threaten your country in Jiaozhou Bay, nor will it be able to threaten our country in the Philippines. ”

Obviously, the US president wanted to pull the reins around Japan's neck, so he lobbied Germany, which ostensibly supported Russia, in the hope that the two countries would make some small moves together.

In the original history, the Germans sold weapons to Japan and Russia, in addition to making gold, they were also balancing, for example, when they saw which side lost, they would sell more weapons to which side. But what the Germans did was something that caused dissatisfaction among the British.

But now this role has been replaced by Yang Chao, just so that the Germans can withdraw from it, if it is the Germans to sell weapons, although it is also sold at a high price, but it is absolutely impossible to be so outrageous, usually forty or fifty taels of rifles, it will be up to the sky to buy sixty or seventy taels.

But Yang Chao is different, he is purely for war money, and he is now tightening his waist to get by.

However, in addition to making money, Yang Chao also has to strike a balance, and he doesn't want the two countries to be too easy to distinguish the winners, but Yang Chao and the Germans have the same purpose, that is, they hope that the Russians can win a miserable victory, both defeated Japan, but did not kill Japan, the Germans hope that Russia will unanimously guard against Japan in the future, and Yang Chao hopes that when Russia exhausts its strength and Japan has no strength to fight again, he jumps out to pick peaches.

So Yang Chao had already left enough weapons for the Russians.

"Eighty, eighty is eighty. Tell the Russians that I sold them a hundred taels to Japan, and let them know that I support them. ”

At the same time that the Japanese were looking for Ma Tengfei, the Russians were actually looking for him.

Last time, the Russians didn't bother to talk to Ma Tengfei at all, and in the end they didn't even know where Ma Tengfei was, but the last time Ma Tengfei saw the Russian company, he was introduced by Yuan Shikai, so this time the Russian minister had to find Ma Tengfei through Yuan Shikai in turn.

The Russians tossed and turned, and Beijing and Tianjin were behind, which fell behind the Japanese.

The Russians did not bargain and agreed to Yang Chao's offer.

The same 200,000 rifles emptied Yang Chao's inventory, and 2,000 cannons were not too many, unlike the Japanese, the Russians were also interested in machine guns, and swept away Yang Chao's remaining 3,000 Ting Makqin machine guns.

In the end, the Russians paid about the same amount of money as the Japanese, and the profits were much less, and Yang Chao only earned 20 million taels from the Russians.

However, Yang Chao, who had made huge profits, was not very happy at this time.

Eyes staring at the ship's display, frowning.

Once again, the spacecraft was fully energized and lurked in the deepest part of the Mariana Trench, where the spacecraft calculates the location of an Earth's gravitational singularity.

"Energy storage ready!"

A mechanical sound sounds, and a red spiral pattern appears on the screen, shrinking and shrinking into a dot.

"Three thousand two hundred and fifty-four shock preparations, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!"

As the last 0 word sounded, suddenly the red dot burst open, Yang Chao stared at the screen intently, seeing the red dot trembling, and at this time he felt that the entire spaceship was shaking, which was out of control when he was at full output.

At the same time, the light in the spaceship became dimmer and dimmer, which was to use all the energy for the impact, and soon it was dark, and there was no sound at all.

After a long time, suddenly the display slowly lit up, and the red dot was still trembling, but suddenly exploded.

Then there was a shaking green light on the screen, and then the green light slowly shrank, and finally it also turned into a green dot, and the green dot slowly vibrate, shrinking and shrinking, as if it was a living thing.

After a long time, another voice sounded, and Yang Chao finally heard the voice he wanted to hear the most: "The impact is successful, the impact is successful, and the space-time bridge is being established." ”

It took more than an hour for the spacecraft to finally return to its original state and the lights came on.

"The space-time bridge has been built, and the search and rescue signal has been launched."

Very mechanical voice reports.

"Lao Jiu!"

Yang Chao couldn't wait to call.

After calling three times in succession, a robot monster appeared on the screen.

"No survivor information was found during the search and rescue signal transmission. Acting Captain Reinstated! ”
