The actions of the German army were known to Yang Yuanzhao on the day of the sortie, not that the intelligence agencies in the northwest were really strong, and even penetrated into the system of the German army, but because the other party deliberately let the northwest know, it is no wonder that such a show of goodwill, even if it is necessary to do, it also needs to be known to the allies, in the eyes of Germany, in addition to the advantages of military strength, the northwest is also quite good in industrial production and military production, and can give Germany great help.

Of course, Yang Yuanzhao knew this, and even Harpy sent a secret telegram to inform Yang Yuanzhao of this matter, what kind of country is Germany, one of the main countries in World War I, the core of the Allies, and it can even be said unceremoniously that the Allies in World War I, if there is no Germany, it is nothing, and the other Turkey and Austria-Hungary are pig teammates, with a huge army and good industrial capacity, but they have no effect in the slightest, so Germany independently fought against Britain and France, and even fought a tactical victory with Britain, However, the naval battle that was strategically defeated was not defeated by the Entente until the United States entered the war.

Germany's initiative to show goodwill, on the one hand, represents that the northwest can already be used as a chess piece, into Germany's field of vision, so it is very helpless, but very realistic, not even the ability to walk on the chessboard, let alone change the chess game, the Republic of China in later history is like this, nominal participation in the war, did not play a role, and has no status, and even appeared as a victorious country is still divided into the scope of interests of the strange decision, triggered the 1919 movement, remembered in the pillar of shame and history.

After Yang Yuanzhao expressed his gratitude to the German minister Mummer and the military attache Bordo, there was nothing left, and Russia probably would not suffer such a loss. The next battle will be fought, but with the help of Germany, there will not be more than a million battles, so that the safety of the northwest and Mongolia will be guaranteed, and he will have more energy to worry about other aspects. For example, we continued to adjust the industry, so that the system was more refined, the production efficiency and performance were stronger, and even when considering the way out of China in the future, it was too late to speak, it was already the middle of 1912. There were only 2 years left in 1914, and the necessary arrangements still needed to be arranged.

Shanghai, the adventurer's paradise in the Far East, seems to have gotten busier. Because of the relationship between the northwest, industry to save the country and light industry, began to spread in China, China is far more huge than any country in the world, after having industrialized equipment, began to show strength, the Chinese are very poor, this is recognized in the world. But that was just the common people, the landlord class and the bureaucratic class were still very wealthy, and they had been out of the country for thousands of years. Coupled with a huge population and hard-working people, the Chinese have accumulated huge wealth, which, although plundered and lowered little by little, is still huge.

Before, it was just an ATM for the Great Powers. As long as you take out the product and dump it here, you will be able to make a profit. Now, with the support of the Northwest. Almost all light industries can be produced smoothly, and when the first person to eat crabs appeared, the subsequent crab eaters appeared, and the investment boom that began in 1909 has not stopped.

Starting from cloth, matches, cement, candles and other necessities, all have production enterprises, low prices, completely drive foreign capital out of China, and even now, even the always lively arms are occupied by northwest goods, the market of the great powers is completely deprived, the Chinese after occupying the market, even under the leadership of Germany, the United States and some American companies, began to expand outward, the foundation of the European powers is free trade, so even if the restrictions on taxes, it will not be too strong, otherwise, It has shaken the foundation of capitalism, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, where there are profits, there is never a shortage of adventurers, and even now, there are pioneers such as the Germans and Americans, and some foreigners who set up foreign banks in Shanghai have also seen that importing foreign things cannot make profits, but there are profits from exporting Chinese products.

The capitalist has enough interests, he can even override any law in this world, what national interests, the foreign banks in the Far East, except for a few, most of them are opened by adventurers, they come to the Far East to make money, and it is not a large amount of military supplies and sensitive materials, but some light industrial products, big deal, just don't use trademarks.

Trademark is more concerned about the Northwest, but other factory owners do not value, as long as there are profits, there are orders, OEM on the OEM, there is money to make good, just like that, unintentionally, Northwest goods and Chinese goods began to appear all over the world, although the Northwest is based on trademarks and brands, a larger number of other products, then with the brand of foreign companies, grandiose appeared in the markets of various countries, and the profits earned have been countless.

Therefore, as the largest commercial and financial district in the Far East, Shanghai has also taken the status of China's largest wharf, and Shanghai has begun to prosper a lot.

In less than half a month, the first batch of things delivered from the northwest has not yet been transported to Germany through the Guò Suez Canal, and has received many high-level German inspections in Shanghai, including Mumo, the quantity is sufficient, the quality is quite good, and all the funds have been put into the account of the northwest, and even, the follow-up orders have come one after another.

Germany needs to have an industrial country to help produce materials, and now not only does it have, but the cost of production, even if it is added to the cost of transportation, is still lower than that of the country, which is not cost-effective in ordinary times, after all, the cost of labor and unemployment are not calculated, but now, the war is coming, and the Germans are even broken in half by one, and with the help of China, they are of course putting people in the most critical place to use.

Cargo ships would go through China, bypass the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean, and reach the Atlantic Ocean to fill the German stockpile, and in the middle of this one line is the Middle East in the west of Asia.

In the impression of later generations, the Middle East is a rich land, a country sitting on gold, under the yellow sand under the feet, is liquid gold and oil, but at that time, in the middle of the 20th century, or even in the later period, the Middle East is still a desert, full of nomadic tribes, poor to the point of slag, except for the country that controls zhì in order to protect the Suez Canal, no one will take a second look.

Of course, there are exceptions, and that is Iran, which is valued by the great powers because from 1908, the Middle East first discovered oil in Iran, although it is not a large oil field, but it is very valuable.

The current Middle East is not the oil kingdom full of gold, the powerful oil countries of Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia in the future are just nomadic tribes in the desert, and Saudi Arabia, which has the largest reserves, did not develop its first oil field until 1938, and it is still a barren land.

No one knows, under the vast yellow sand, there will be so much industrial blood, from the history of oil exploitation, first of all, Europe, when Baku, Russia, almost accounted for more than 90 of the world's oil production, gradually, with the continuation of the industrial revolution, the role of oil is also increasing, Saxia, Oklahoma, and Mexico's oil exploitation, a number of emerging billionaires began to appear, the famous Rockefeller Group in later generations, is relying on oil, Successfully surpassed the former National Steel Group and became the richest man, while the second Morgan began to actively intervene in the oil field, although it was mainly in the banking industry.

Yang Yuanzhao knows very well how much industrial blood will be buried in this barren land, at this time, he can't even make complete decisions about China's affairs, let alone extend his tentacles abroad, he knows a lot of things, but he can't use them, at most he just establishes a foundation in China.

The construction of the Baghdad Railway, more than 150,000 Chinese railway workers and thousands of railway machinery, arrived in Iraq by sea, a huge number of people and materials, enough to see the strength of the shipping of the powers, the 20th century is a maritime century, only the country that completely occupies the sea, can be called the king of the world, the rising star of Germany, in shipping, only a fraction of the British, but even so, a part of the fleet temporarily transferred, enough to put 150,000 people and machinery and materials, Transported thousands of nautical miles away.

The personnel who arrived in advance began to hand over with Germany, because of the close relationship with Germany, there were many students who went to Germany, and there were many people who returned to China, and the exchanges between Germany were not at all a problem, starting from 1903 to 1912 when the preliminary agreement was reached, 9 years, not much, but the work had already been completed, and the Chinese Railway Construction Corps had to do what they had to do on the basis of their measurements, and verify them, by the way, According to the situation that there are more motor vehicles in the northwest, some minor adjustments are made.

The process was relatively fast, most of the adjustments were completed in a short time, except for a few that needed to be measured again, the preliminary preparations could have begun, and the Chinese Railway Corps, which arrived in Iraq, also began the initial construction work, and the distribution of vehicles and personnel along the Baghdad Railway began.

The arrival of a large number of men and machinery immediately aroused concern, and when Britain figured out what Germany was going to do, it was almost shocked, and a whirlpool that encompassed the major powers of Europe and some of the countries of Asia and almost all of the countries of the Middle East took shape.
