"General Fang, the training cruiser Feihong ordered by the Qing government in the United States is used to revitalize the naval program, I wonder what Your Excellency thinks about this matter?" After taking his seat, Barkley began a cautious temptation.

"Plans to revive the Navy? From my personal point of view, this one is too big to be true! For a large country that does not have a strong heavy industrial base to support it, building a large navy is tantamount to a beach castle. In my opinion, the navy is a huge systems engineering project, and it is unrealistic to build the navy on a large scale with China's existing economic and industrial base. Fang Jianxiong's attitude made the faces of several people present gloomy, including the Minister of the Navy Tang Qianming.

Tang Qianming is very keen on this matter, but now it seems that the big boss doesn't care much about this matter.

While everyone was disappointed, Fang Jianxiong changed his words and said: "However, the construction of the navy cannot be stopped, such as the Feihong, if no one takes over, we are willing to take over." The collapse of the Manchu regime has become inevitable, and until the new Republic of China realizes the unification of financial and military power in the true sense, no one in power will have the spare time to consider the naval issue. ”

These words seem to bring hope again!

Barkley, who had been watching Fang Jianxiong closely, soon realized that this was a young general who was quite assertive and confident about China's future. As he spoke, the young man had a confident expression and a sharp gaze, as if he could see through the fog in front of him.

"Suppose, I mean, if General Fang can dominate the country, will you consider plans to build a strong navy?" Reyes couldn't help but interject, and Fang Jianxiong saw urgency in his eyes.

"Hehe, as I said, the navy is a huge systems engineering. If only I could dictate the direction of this country. The construction of the navy will be raised to an important level, but it will certainly be a long-term plan, and it will take ten or fifteen years to reach a level. At this stage, I hope that the two of you will tell Bethlehem Company that Hubei and Anhui are rich in iron ore resources. Huainan has high-quality coal mines, while China needs a steel industry. If U.S. companies can invest, they will get the most favorable policies. At present, a steel plant is being built in Ma'anshan, using American technology and equipment, and I have always been very optimistic about the prospects of cooperation between the two sides. I am an advocate of an open-door policy. There are many things that American capital can do in Anhui, Hubei, and Jiangxi provinces. There are plans to build several railways. Of course, the front of these words is a bit far away, and the latter part is very realistic. Fang Jianxiong stopped and made a gesture, and Yin Weijun immediately took out the map and spread it out.

Fang Jianxiong pointed to the map and said: "Everyone, please see, this is the key point of the Bengbu and Jinpu lines." This is Huainan, this is Wuhu, this is Anqing, this is Jiujiang, this is Wuhan. A railroad connects the dots. It will drive the economic development of the three provinces. ”

"General Fang, wait a minute. Isn't Jiujiang under the control of the Jiangxi Military Government, the provisional government? Reyes expressed his doubts, and Fang Jianxiong waved his hand very imposingly: "It won't take half a month, and it will be under our military control." ”

The image of a warlord jumped in front of two Americans! The allure of this railway is so great that the eyes of Americans are a little unturned. "If the United States funds the railway, what preferential policies can be obtained?" The question is realistic.

"Railways are the economic lifeblood of the country. We must have a controlling stake. However, the right to operate can be handed over to the American side for a period of ten years. If U.S. capital can help us increase steel production to 500,000 tons a year. We will consider building a second railway to connect Wuhu, Nanchang and Wuhan. If my luck is a little better, and the United States is a little bolder, in the next 20 years, tens of thousands of kilometers of railways are beckoning to the world's capital. Fang Jianxiong smiled and drew a cake. Although it seems unrealistic now, Fang Jianxiong is the only one who has clearly stated that he welcomes American investment. And willing to take over the power of the Phenom.

This is an important signal, and although the U.S. government previously favored the Qing government, this tendency has now wavered. Fang Jianxiong's strong rise has become an inevitability.

The Americans were silent, one pondering, the other recording at a flying pace.

At this time, Dou Qingmei, who was twisting her waist, walked in and whispered a few words to Fang Jianxiong, Fang Jianxiong frowned and said, "Andreas? That German? It's not going to be empty talk again this time, is it? I see, you tell him to wait a little longer in the hall, I'll be fine here soon. ”

Fang Jianxiong spoke Chinese, and the Yankees couldn't understand it, but fortunately there was George, the second knife translator. Germany's contact with Fang Jianxiong is not a secret. After all, there is no substantive cooperation plan between the two sides announced, and judging from his expression, Fang Jianxiong seems to be dissatisfied with the German. Could it be that the asking price is too high?

"General Fang, can Bethlehem Company build a steel plant as a sole proprietorship once it invests in China?" Deputy Military Attache Barkley asked very directly, this matter is still very important.

"There are two ways for U.S. capital to enter China's steel industry. The first is a Sino-US joint venture, in which the Chinese side holds a controlling stake. Companies of this nature will receive priority rights for government projects. The second is wholly owned by the United States, and if it is a special steel enterprise, it will also get priority rights for government projects. If it is a general iron and steel enterprise, it can only wait for the production capacity of the first two enterprises to be insufficient. "Fang Jianxiong is now determined to betray the country, there are too few cards in his hand, and there is only the trick of betraying the country. If you want to say that in these years, if you want to sell the country, you still have to have this capital. Now Fang Jianxiong barely has the capital to sell the country, so hurry up and sell, hurry up and sell. As long as U.S. capital pours into heavy industry, it will have to be sold. The factory was built in China, and I don't believe that he will be able to move out in the future, but what the Americans want is profit. I can't bear the child's wolf!

After saying this, Fang Jianxiong stood up and said, "Two, I still have something to do, let's talk about it today." George, treat your American friends well, and I hope to have a second meeting. ”

Very politely sent away the two uncertain Americans, Fang Jianxiong secretly rejoiced in his heart, this Andreas really didn't come in time. The protagonist is really shrouded in an aura.

After Andreas saw Fang Jianxiong, he reported straight to the point: "General Fang, this time I came with great sincerity. First of all, I would like to inform you that a German military observer group of about 150 men has departed and is expected to arrive in Shanghai in 20 days. This observation mission is here at the invitation of Your Excellency. ”

Uh, change the soup without changing the dressing, this is no problem. Fang Jianxiong agreed very simply: "No problem, I can announce it to the outside world." ”

"Very well, I would like to inform you of the second matter, the German Reich is willing to consider a loan of twenty million dollars to you for the purchase of arms and machinery in Germany. The premise is that you need to pay a little bit of money, and the specific matters need to be further discussed. "When Andrea mentioned this, he was not very confident. The warlord in front of him seems to be reluctant to betray the country, and cares a lot about national interests or something.

"Twenty million? It's too little, and I hope to get a loan of 100 million gold marks by the end of 13 years. For the purchase of German arms and machinery and equipment, I can use the tungsten mine in Jiangxi and the coal mine in Anhui as collateral, since the loan is in gold marks, for the sake of convenience calculation, it is better to repay in gold marks. Fang Jianxiong didn't mention the price he needed to pay, and he also increased the loan amount a lot. The Germans took their money with peace of mind, and within a few years of the start of the First World War, the Golden Mark was almost like waste paper. Loan repayment is a little stressful. If it weren't for the fear that the Germans would suspect that their brains were in water, they would have borrowed more. But it's still early, and when we take power, we will borrow a little more.

Andreas was overjoyed when he heard this, which showed that Fang Jianxiong was ready to betray the country on a large scale. The Germans can now say that no one cares about it, as long as Fang Jianxiong can take the lead of the country, Germany will take over the business of betraying the country.

"It seems that Your Excellency is optimistic about the cooperation with Germany, and I am very happy." Andreas's hands were shaking with excitement, which would bring great benefits to Germany, as long as this warlord took power in this country, Germany would receive a huge eastern market.

"Yes, I attach great importance to my friendship with Germany. It has always been believed that only Germany and the United States are potential allies of China. The Chinese government should strengthen cooperation with Germany and the United States, with cooperation with Germany as a priority. Fang Jianxiong threw out a set of so-called Sino-American and German theories, which were actually made by the Germans, but unfortunately the Manchu government was too Nima bastard, and in the end it was not made by the Japanese. Now Fang Jianxiong fried cold rice, and Andreas was very happy to listen. This mission was successfully concluded.

Andreas's excitement continues, and Fang Jianxiong continues: "There are broad prospects for cooperation between China and Germany, China is a big country, has enough resources, and has the desire to develop the country's industry. The development of industry is inseparable from transportation and other supporting facilities. I hope that the cooperation between China and Germany will penetrate into every field of national economic development. ”

The implication is, come on, as long as the Germans come, it is nothing to betray the country if they give enough benefits.

Andreas left like a drunk, walking with the wind. This huge good news must be reported as soon as possible. In view of the good relations between Fang Jianxiong and Germany, and his strict pro-German tendencies, and in view of the current political situation in China, supporting Fang Jianxiong will maximize Germany's interests in China. If this matchmaking work can be completed, Andreas even thinks that he can obtain the title conferred by His Majesty the Emperor.

Fang Jianxiong's traitorous behavior caused strong dissatisfaction among stenographer Yin Weijun, and he kept a black face. When Andreas left, Yin Weijun looked at Fang Jianxiong sadly and said, "Brother Fang, what you just said is true?" ”
