That night, they took the train directly to Berlin, the capital of Germany, the port of Hamburg is the largest port in Germany, Berlin is the capital, the relationship between them is the same as the relationship between Beijing and Shanghai, China has begun to build a railway from Beijing to Shanghai, not to mention the closer Berlin to Hamburg, the total land area of Germany is only hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, not even half the size of Mongolia, the distance between Hamburg and Berlin is not far.

Entering the scope of Berlin, Yang Yuanzhao once came to Berlin in his later life, but the high-rise buildings of that era were completely different from this era with an obvious Junker atmosphere, and it felt a lot heavier.

The next day, the Lihe Hotel was lit up early, and Harbits sent a special message to Yang Yuanzhao that this time it was not only the German media, but also the British, French, and even American media, and it seemed that this was a press conference for the world.

As early as yesterday, when William mentioned the press conference, Yang Yuanzhao already understood what Germany was thinking. If it is said that it is kept secret from the beginning, but when he arrives in Singapore and then to Germany, he must not be completely secret, and Germany even disseminates the news of his arrival through some channels.

The Northwest is no longer the border town of the backward empire, since the First World War against Russia, the Northwest has jumped to a pivotal position in the whole world, Germany is selective, through external pressure, let the Northwest and Germany get closer. Let's not talk about the relationship of alliances, it is best to form an alliance. In this way, Germany will be more calm in dealing with Russia, with an army of nearly one million. Possessing a much greater ability to recruit troops than Russia, Wilhelm II never had the ability to recruit troops in the Northwest of Chinese descent.

Similar small actions, Germany has done a lot, and it has been vaguely mentioned, but Yang Yuanzhao has never agreed, this time, and then this opportunity, it was announced that Yang Yuanzhao came with an order and would be in the next week or two. More than $400 million in trade package orders have been signed in Germany, and Germany will reach an agreement with the northwest on some large-scale construction in Germany.

Germany's small actions, Yang Yuanzhao knows very well that he will not expect to be a traverser, so that everyone can follow his baton, every country, the foothold is in itself, and the northwest table has come out of value. And when there is a situation that requires others, it is necessary to have this consciousness to face the world situation and the future of the northwest. It is no longer a barren land on the northwestern border of China, but a place for the world and the Far East. An organization that has a profound influence on the Asian landscape.

However, Yang Yuanzhao's heart is very clear. Now is not the time for an alliance, even if he brings in a $400 million order. Even if he builds large and important buildings for Germany, as long as he does not turn to Germany on the surface, and is truly allied with Germany, there is room for maneuver, but it is not just about how much money is spent.

4 years, Yang Yuanzhao rooted in the northwest for 4 years, with the prophetic vision of the traverser, with the ability of the all-in-one machine against the sky, Yang Yuanzhao laid a miraculous industrial foundation for the northwest, and brought a series of advantageous products to the northwest, such as polymer polymeric materials, sulfonamides, penicillin and a variety of ordinary light industrial products, the profit of ordinary products is not high, just to occupy the market, but polymer polymeric materials, sulfonamides and penicillin, can definitely be called a weapon to grab money.

European and American women, the pursuit of stockings, is simply beyond imagination, silk made of socks, not only rough, but also flawed, but one point, the price is expensive enough, a pair of stockings is less than seven or eight dollars, more than a dozen, or even more than twenty dollars, by chance, after discovering this business opportunity, Yang Yuanzhao directly used the stockings of later generations, synthesized a large number of stockings, this thing is light, and does not take up space, 10 million pairs are just occasional synthesis, but in the hands of sales staff, it has become a sharp weapon for the strategy, The sales of stockings have gradually increased from 30 million pairs to 200 million pairs per year, which is a net profit of about 4 billion US dollars, plus sulfonamides and penicillin, which can save lives, no one will feel that they have too much in their hands.

The proceeds from these sales, coupled with the frenzied gold mining in the Northwest and hundreds of tons of gold reserves, are enough for the Northwest to do anything, as long as it is a problem that money can solve, it is not a problem, and the German side wants to use this matter to force the Northwest to form an alliance, which is estimated to be a miscalculation.

From the beginning of Yang Yuanzhao's crossing, when he began to contact with the outside world, he chose to contact Germany, and he had a lot of good feelings and strengthenings towards Germany, both openly and secretly, but during this time period, he could not form an alliance, and the reason why he did not ally was to be able to be more free, and the early team was not a good choice Just like the United States, he also did business on both sides in World War I, but because the German coastline was blocked so badly, there was no way.

Yang Yuanzhao has decided to strengthen cooperation with Germany, of course, it is secretly inside, not on the sea, thinking of submarine transportation, and Basra port, is a very good place, the current expansion work has been completed partly, in the future, when Qingdao shipyard is completed, Qingdao will expand Qingdao wharf, when the time comes, Qingdao to Basra linkage, container terminal and ro-ro ship, will definitely make the operation efficiency of the terminal more than ten times higher than before, when the time comes, Basra a port and Baghdad railway, It will be a lifeline to Germany. Looking at the agenda for tomorrow in his hand, Yang Yuanzhao showed a smile on his face, and made a decision in his heart.

The whole signing ceremony was very lively, there were almost hundreds of reporters from various countries, this was the leader of the Northwest, the first time he appeared in front of the world, for such a powerful guy who defeated Russia, everyone was very curious, where he was sacred.

Young, wise, and familiar with the habits of Western countries, this is the first and most important impression that Yang Yuanzhao left on everyone in the audience in just 10 minutes of introduction.

When Prince William and Yang Yuanzhao announced the bombshell of the entire conference, the whole venue was boiling, in today's world, with the arms race and confrontation between countries, large amounts of investment and purchases, in fact, are secret, the main economy of various countries is improving at the same time, a little stagnant, a $400 million purchase intention, can definitely be called extremely powerful, why will Germany be chosen, the northwest is not developed with the support of Germany, why will it be so purchased, a series of sharp questions, asked from the reporter's mouth, and one by one screamed for Yang Yuanzhao to answer.

Yang Yuanzhao, who had long figured out a qiē, answered these questions confidently, some were outspoken, and some were cloudy, in short, paying attention to whether the northwest and Germany were allied, it was definitely a denial and diverting the topic, and it was the scope and type of some purchases, but he was blunt, and even said that he could purchase from other countries.

did not reach the intention, which made William a little frustrated, but he had been watching the cooperation agenda Wilhelm II didn't care, the meaning of the northwest is obvious, if you are willing to form an alliance, as early as more than a year ago, when you fought against Russia, you can form an alliance, the benefits at that time can be seen by anyone, the battle in the north may not be very tragic, so William wants to take advantage of this opportunity to promote the alliance of Northwest Germany, it is destined to be fruitless, he is very clear but does not block, and it is not a bad thing, it is good, If it doesn't work, it's no problem, let the northwest bear a little pressure, and it won't shake the relationship between the two, maybe there will be unexpected effects.

A show, so vigorous ended, next, is a 20-day closed-door meeting, there are people in the northwest and the German Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to discuss the scope of this purchase, and Yang Yuanzhao also took this opportunity to travel throughout Germany, to visit most of Germany's heavy industry factories, as well as a university visit and speech.

In the first decade of the 20 th century, the situation in Europe has always been relatively tense, and any slightest disturbance will cause the result of rumors, especially between Britain and Germany, where contradictions and frictions are becoming more and more serious.

The rise of the Northwest is not what Britain wants to see, not to mention that the Northwest also suppressed Britain's support for Yuan Shikai, and fought a war with Russia in the Far East.

It would be very dangerous for this situation to continue, and the British Foreign Office and the government, after receiving the news and after urgent consultations, began to investigate the northwest in an all-round way, and the War Office and the Admiralty, under the instructions of the Prime Minister, began to study countermeasures against the northwest, and could not let the northwest develop, even at a critical stage against Germany, and could not allow the northwest to support Germany so endlessly.

No concrete results have been discussed, the northwest is too far away, the Far East is inland, the British proud fleet is unlikely to have an impact on him, as for the army, a Boer War has already hurt Britain, China is not South Africa, there is no sufficient amount of gold reserves, it is not worth sending hundreds of thousands of troops to it, what happened to Russia, tell the British, less than 700,000 troops, there is no way to move China at all.

It's really overwhelming, when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister are seriously considering this matter, another thing has disrupted the footsteps of the British, according to the news from the northwest, the amount of Yang Yuanzhao's purchase in Europe is not 500 million US dollars, but 2 billion.
