2 billion US dollars, the British Prime Minister couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he got the news, although the British Empire was militarily strong, but in 1912, the total military expenditure was only about 400 million US dollars, this military expenditure included the army, navy, and even the huge outrageous high seas fleet and ocean fleet, just take those powerful battleships, in the case of a super dreadnought is only 14 million US dollars, 2 billion US dollars is definitely a greater wealth.

This news was released by Yang Yuanzhao on his own initiative, and the press conference, which convened the major media throughout Europe, was obviously for the British to see, and the contradictions between Britain and Germany were almost inevitable, and Britain would take action.

Although the current position of the northwest is located in the Chinese mainland, there is no place close to the ocean, and the Far East is thousands of miles away, which is not conducive to the deployment of infantry, plus the war with Russia, the frontal defeat of hundreds of thousands of Russian troops, in terms of strength and position, the British controllers, not having a problem with their brains, will not take the initiative to declare war on the northwest and burn the flames of war to China.

As the only superpower in the world, Britain has controlled the seas for hundreds of years, and they not only have such a means of direct attack, but also the chaotic history of Europe for hundreds of years, from the First French Empire to even forward, the British played a good method, and the war on the European continent has nothing to do with Britain.

Even if not, a trade blockade is enough to make China suffer a big loss, Yang Yuanzhao actively participated in the First World War, on the one hand, in order to weaken the powers and create opportunities for China's rise, on the other hand, not to make money, not to strengthen Germany, but to give up the Entente such a larger market, which cannot be said to be a loss of watermelons and sesame seeds, but a real loss of interests.

After gaining insight into William's actions, Yang Yuanzhao decided, use funds to solve the problem, money is a bastard, no more to earn, for the country, money in a sense, just a number, if you can use 1.5 billion orders, alleviate, the relationship between the northwest and the Entente, and even possible to enter the United Kingdom, standing on top of the British warships, this is not a better choice, 13.5 inches, 14 inches, 15 inches of naval guns, British naval guns represent the highest level in the world, steam turbines, large battleships, Reasonable tonnage control, these can directly enhance the strength of the Chinese Navy in the future, and it is worth paying so many orders for this.

Isn't it 1.5 billion, and it's not given away for nothing, they have enough right to choose when they buy something, maybe the choice is correct, and it will bring another meaning of the Northwest Industry.

Yang Yuanzhao is a very decisive person, and after deciding, he secretly broke a piece of news about his relationship with Harpy in the United States, and Yang Yuanzhao this time did not bring only 450 million US dollars, but 2 billion.

Wealth is moving, capitalism is the pursuit of wealth, the pursuit of greater resources of a system, the head of state, is the agent of various chaebols and forces, when the northwest may purchase 2 billion US dollars in Europe and the United States, not to mention Britain, France and the United States, even Russia has moved, no matter what the previous relationship was, first take down the order, take it down is real interests.

2 billion US dollars, for this number, ordinary people, may think that this is a fantasy, too much, but the powers that really understand the Northwest, Britain, France and the United States, are very clear that the Northwest can really get so much money, not to mention the Northwest in the world to grab money drugs, the original sulfonamides, and later penicillin, these drugs called the panacea, firmly occupy the world drug market, the powers are studying what these things are, but with little success. It is not easy to figure out the active ingredients of chemicals, not to mention that Yang Yuanzhao has specially created a lot of traps in order to keep secrets, which is even more confusing.

There is also the thing called stockings, even the wives of dignitaries from all over the world are crazy about this stockings, in one fell swoop simple advertising words, every woman's wardrobe, there will always be a pair of stockings missing, it can be seen that the attraction of stockings to European and American women, a few dollars of light stockings, simply make countless women crazy.

In addition to these two, the industrial process of the northwest is actually not low, in many fields, the products of the northwest have entered the market, with the strong industrial capacity of the northwest, the annual sales are amazing, I don't know how much the profit is, but a little calculation can be calculated, this is also the northwest and Russia frontal war is a high-intensity war, still has no impact on the real reason, the northwest is too rich.

2 billion to Germany 500 million, there are still 1.5 billion to fight, this is a critical moment to prepare for the war, anyone knows, 1.5 billion more orders, what kind of result will be, even the United Kingdom, which has bad intentions for the northwest, also began to inquire about Yang Yuanzhao's actions, ready to take a share of this powerful investment, a batch of specially selected machine qì equipment, also have a special person to transfer to the northwest.

500 million has already made the whole of Germany crazy, now it is actually 2 billion, and there are the remaining 1.5 billion, now, the German side is even more enthusiastic, before Harpy made certain preparations, in the name of the northwest put forward the request, almost all the staff guò, Yang Yuanzhao can visit almost all the important factories, it can be said that in addition to the military's top secret room, even the slipway of the super dreadnought under construction is also open to the northwest.

This is probably the biggest gain, Yang Yuanzhao's important purpose in coming to Germany is to improve the most cutting-edge manufacturing industry in the northwest, as far as the army is concerned, the northwest can reach the world's advanced level, and the navy, the northwest does not know how much worse.

The battleship is the culmination of modern civilization, it can be said that it concentrates the comprehensive national strength of the whole country, whether it is a 10,000-ton hydraulic press, or a free forging press, or other strategic machines, the vicinity of the battleship is always the most cutting-edge of the whole country, and a close understanding of various advanced equipment, in the all-in-one machine, I got a drawing one by one, and I can also get in touch with the almost impossible to contact, Germany's top battleship, the absolute main force in the future Jutland Naval War, even if it has not been completely built, Even if a prototype is completed and the drawings are made, it will make the shipbuilding industry in the northwest have a huge improvement.

Next, Yang Yuanzhao can be said to be as busy as a bee, and he can also visit all military and civilian ships and various factories without hindrance. Germany is the world's second largest naval power, the shipping industry is also ranked second in the world, belongs to his ocean-going cargo ships, all-inclusive, plus visits to shipyards and heavy industry factories, in just 2 days, Yang Yuanzhao's all-in-one machine, a large number of various drawings are stored, and the harvest is incomparably rich.

Yang Yuanzhao's tour route, first of all, went north, along the direction of Berlin to Hamburg, along Hamburg and nearby ports, which can be said to be the most dense ports in Germany, crossed Hamburg, and went directly to Kiel, and there are many ports on the Baltic Sea coast, but they are mainly for military purposes, and the two are opposites and unified.

In addition to ships and ports, northern Germany is also one of the important industrial bases, of course, not as good as the Ruhr, but it also has a lot of chemical and heavy industry bases.

In the all-in-one machine, the number of drawings, with the speed of the naked eye, is increasing rapidly, more than 500,000 copies of materials enter the all-in-one machine every day, the foundation of the all-in-one machine is gradually consolidated, the hard Yang Yuanzhao is painful and happy, although looking at the ship, looking at the machine, every day to vomit, but he knows that this is the best opportunity to consolidate the industrial foundation of the Northwest and strive to catch up with the most advanced countries in the world. took a lot of detours, in order to avoid detours, in order to make the northwest stronger, he had to do his best.

In Kiel, Germany's largest military port, almost all the battleships of the High Seas Fleet are docked here, different from the previous scanning of civilian ships, much the same, even if the appearance is different, the interior is almost the same as carved out of a mold, almost every warship has different highlights, even if it is the same batch, there are simple differences.

Walking on the battleship, touching the 12-inch, 50 times the Krupp cannon, 305 mm caliber, cold and containing powerful power, this is another leapfrog upgrade in the northwest, the new capital ship, will make the foundation of the northwest more deep, maybe with the support of Germany and the industrial base of the northwest, stronger warships will be born.

Yang Yuanzhao sped up his speed, almost the whole day, on the battleship, up and down, in one day, almost visited more than 100 battleships, when Yang Yuanzhao finished looking at all the battleships, whether it was super dreadnoughts, dreadnoughts, or pre-dreadnoughts, when these were all walked along, then walked on the cruiser and all kinds of small warships, when the sun was about to set, according to the established plan, and the last two ships, when he walked on a ship, he pressed his hand on the battleship, it seemed that the all-in-one machine was a little sluggish, There is no such thing as the previous shortcut.

Yang Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, thinking that something was wrong, almost half a minute or so late, this battleship was scanned, Yang Yuanzhao let out a long breath, this one is a variant of the armored cruiser, it has been in service for 10 years, but it has something unique, fortunately, the scanning is completed, and the overall drawings of this ship are silently sent into the archive area of the all-in-one machine, and the all-in-one machine suddenly came with a prompt, which is extremely mechanical, not the humanized sound of jingle bell, but as if the machine qì synthesized it:" The total number of drawings in the drawing area has exceeded 10 million, and the number of ship drawings has exceeded 25,000. ”R1152
