Chapter 112 has its own needs (ask for a monthly pass!) Read! ）

"A Japan with a strong navy can still arouse the vigilance of the Americans, let alone China, which is now stronger than Japan in terms of financial and national strength, if it ......"

As soon as his words sank, looking directly at Ye Zugui in front of him, Chen Moran's face became extremely serious, and he even said a sentence almost word by word.

"If we show strong maritime emotions at this time, will it arouse the vigilance of the Americans, you will answer me"

Facing His Majesty's rhetorical question, Ye Zugui was silent for a while before speaking.

"Your Majesty, the United States is not a true power, and it is impossible for the United States Congress to approve its political ...... to our country"

"Is war the only way to solve the problem?"

Interrupting Ye Zugui's words sharply, Chen Moran sighed helplessly in his heart, for that matter, he has always chosen to keep it secret, if there was a previous collusion, maybe there would not be the current trouble at all.

The reason why he approved the plan to "build a cruiser fleet" at the beginning was that, apart from the fact that the navy had no officers and no sailors, another very important point was that before China established a complete shipbuilding industry, it must not arouse the vigilance of other countries, especially the United States, which is extremely sensitive to changes in naval forces in the Pacific.

It can even be said that in the next 10 or even 20 years, it is impossible for China to leave the "help" of the United States, and it is precisely because of this that he has no objection to sending a large number of students to the United States, although in a certain respect, he is more inclined to send students to Germany, even if he knows what it will mean in the future to send a large number of students to the United States, sometimes people always have to make a choice.

"In the past, China did not have a military industry, as long as whoever was happy, he could ravage it. From the Manchu Qing Dynasty and even until now, China has always been like a rich, beautiful, and weak widow, who can plunder her, bully her, and ravage her. Yes, we have made some progress now, but we are too far behind compared to the great powers, can we buy a whole military industry in a short time? ”

Although the words in the low rhetorical question were crude, it was a fact.

"No, our military industry lags far behind the rest of the world, and now we seem to have the largest arsenal that can produce rifles, produce more machine guns than any other country in the world, produce the latest mortars, and can produce everything from mountain guns to 12-inch naval guns, but the question is, do we have a real complete military industry?"

Chen Moran closed his eyes, he may not know the importance of a complete industrial system, in the past, he thought that as long as he made guns and cannons, he could make enough guns, cannons, bullets, and shells, which meant that he had a military industry, but in fact? This is just the beginning.

"Without the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we can make guns and cannons, and we can also make them, but whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty or us, but it only stays at the stage of "how to make it", as for "why it is made like this", it is simply half-understood, we want to establish a complete military industrial system of our own, and this is something that huā money can't buy, at least in the short term, huā money can't be built, so we need some help"

Help?

Whether it is Ye Zugui or Shi Tiange, Ye Zugui may not be able to understand what a complete military industrial system is, but Shi Tiange knows that China seems to have a strong army, but in fact it does not have its own research and development capabilities, and has a certain research and development capabilities, but it is limited by raw materials, and is limited by various aspects in the development of weapons, the military industry is not just a machine to make guns and cannons, he is the sum of dozens of disciplines, and this is exactly what China does not have, It is also something that cannot be introduced in the short term.

You can buy machines to make weapons, you can buy technology, but it only solves the problem of "how", but it cannot solve the problem of "why", and this is the result of decades of accumulation of various technologies in Europe and the United States, unless someone teaches you by hand, it is simply impossible to have a truly self-sufficient military industry that can develop itself.

And who can we rely on to get this to help us? Is it the UK? ”

At the same time as the rhetorical question, Chen Moran couldn't help but let out a sneer.

"For the British, a strong China is not in their interests in China, they will support Japan with all their might, but they will never fully support us, what about Germany? Well, Germany may support us, but only if it is all based on commerce, and we can get all this from Germany, but at the cost of a huge huā fee, which is the huā, but the question is that we have that much money? We didn't get a loan from Germany, but did the Germans lend us so much idle capital? Nope",

The words of self-questioning and answering one after another made Ye Zugui and Shi Tiange fall into silence, and Guan Mingtang, who was originally just a bystander, said a word at this time.

"It's only the United States"

In a word, Ye Zugui and Shi Tiange understood the reason for His Majesty's anger, and His Majesty was worried that China would arouse the vigilance of the United States, which might affect the United States' attitude toward China.

"The United States is the world's first economic power, in fact, in the last decade of the 19th century, the United States has left Europe behind in both economy and technology, of course, it does not rule out that European countries are leading in individual mén categories, but in terms of industry, the United States has the most powerful and advanced industry in the world, whether it is ordinary industry or military industry, and even Germany, the bullet production line and rifle production line used in Germany's arsenal need to rely on the introduction of technology from the United States, It is obvious that the United States leads the world in industrial technology, but this is not the most important thing"

At the end of the words, Guan Mingtang deliberately emphasized it.

"The most important thing is that the United States has the world's largest idle surplus capital that can be used for foreign investment or loans, and the United States has never had a real world lending system, and its financial community is eager to lend to the rest of the world, but it suffers from the domination of the world's financial markets by Britain and France, the most modern industry and a large amount of idle financial capital and the desire for the Pacific market, which is the fundamental reason for choosing the United States as a partner."

"But it all has to be built on a premise"

Interrupting Guan Mingtang's words, Chen Moran's right hand stretched out a finger.

"On the premise that China will not arouse the vigilance of the United States, only in this way can we get the full "help" of the US government and the industrial and commercial circles; of course, for the Americans, this kind of investment is for profit, but for us, we need to further accelerate the development of China's industrialization, especially the military industry, with the investment and help of the United States."

Looking at Ye Zugui, Chen Moran sighed in his heart.

However, the reckless actions of the navy have created the current situation in which it is difficult for China to ride the tiger, and the Russo-Japanese War will definitely end, and Japan will surely win a great victory, there is no doubt about this, Japan's ambitions in the Pacific Ocean have always aroused the vigilance of the United States, and if we hide our ambitions, the United States will certainly promote cooperation between the business community and China in order to contain Japan, but what if we show that our ambitions are not inferior to those of the Japanese? And the most worrying thing is that what if we take the initiative to expand our armaments, causing Japan to choose to take China as an imaginary enemy and choose to reconcile with the United States? ”

Helplessly leaning back in the chair, Chen Moran's eyes fell on the heavenly board.

"Will it be possible for us to get what we had hoped for?"

What do you hope to get from the Americans?

Huge capital import, a full set of industrial system, this is what I want, and what I have always desired, if it were not for the fact that I had read the "Bethlehem Contract", I would not have imagined that China could get this kind of help, and this help would play a decisive role in China's industrialization.

On the other hand, China will definitely "hire a large number of German experts to help China design a complete industrial system" as proposed by Shi Si, but in the end, China can only rely on the United States, a country from nothing to build a complete industrial system, it needs a huge amount of money, this money China simply cannot afford on its own, must rely on huge external loans as much as possible.

On the other hand, hiring German experts to design the industrial system is to take advantage of the meticulous characteristics of the Germans, and similarly, it is also possible to promote early cooperation between China and the United States, whether it is the introduction of German experts or the introduction of American capital, there is no conflict, and the cooperation between one country and two countries will only contribute to the "competition" effect, and the ultimate benefit will only be China.

The German plan, the American capital, and the most advanced machinery and technology of the two countries will eventually bring about a fully industrialized China in a dozen years, and once China has its "own industrial development cycle system", then China will also have the ability to challenge those powers.

"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"

After a slight pause, Ye Zugui calmed down at this time, and he looked at His Majesty and said.

"In Chen's view, our construction of two warships will not only not arouse the vigilance of the United States, but may even lead to early cooperation between China and the United States."

Looking at His Majesty, seeing that his expression seemed to be a little puzzled, Ye Zugui hurriedly explained.

"As Your Majesty has said, China is now a rich, beautiful, and weak widow, and anyone can plunder her, bully her, and ravage her. But there is a neighbor who will choose a weak, mermaid widow in order to fight another ambitious neighbor, only when this weak widow fù becomes open teeth and claws, she can possibly enter the eyes of others, yes, we have proven that we are not a mermaid ròu widow, but even if the Americans choose to support us in order to contain Japan, what do they need to do? Is it just to provide us with machines? No Your Majesty, they will definitely provide us with warships, and the Americans need not a China with only an army, but a China that can contain Japan on the ocean, and this is what the United States needs"
