Soon, with Wang Wenshao's help, many Manchu officials also approved of the purchase of warships from this Hans company. After all, the conditions given by this Hans company are too good, not only the deposit is low, but only 20% is enough. And the rest of the money could be paid after delivery, which reassured the Manchu officials a lot. What's more, people can also pay in batches, without having to take it out all at once, which reduces the financial pressure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty many times. They were also able to make deliveries quickly, and they promised to provide the Manchu government with warships capable of forming a fleet within six months, which was also very important for the Manchu government that lacked time. Even, of course, the most important point, that is, they can provide 20% rebates, so that those Manchu corrupt officials and corrupt officials also began to do their best for this Hans company, after all, a warship costs at least a million taels of silver, and this 20% rebate is enough to eat a lot of money.

"Zhang, this is a contract signed between your Chinese government and me, a total of five 7,000-ton cruisers, and about 20 other ships, and the transaction amount is about 50 million taels. However, now the Chinese government has only sent a deposit of about 10 million taels of silver, and the rest of the funds will be paid in batches after delivery. That Adolf said groveling in front of Zhang Dekai.

And if the Manchu officials saw this scene, they would be very shocked, Adolf, who was obviously the manager, actually groveled to a Chinese deputy manager, which simply made many Manchu officials unable to figure it out. And Zhang Dekai didn't care, obviously accepted this qiē calmly.

This Zhang Dekai is actually a person from Taiwan's General Intelligence Administration, and he is a senior intelligence officer of Taiwan's General Intelligence Administration. And his current identity outside is the deputy manager of Hans Shipbuilding Company, and this Hans Shipbuilding Company is actually a leather bag company under Wang Guorui. Specializing in selling warships to the outside. As for the German Adolf, he was just a person hired by Wang Guorui's intelligence officers. You must know that in this era, Westerners can come to the East, although there are some rich people, but the vast majority are adventurers. These adventurers who came to the East couldn't stay in the country, and then took the initiative to come to the East to adventure. And some of them succeeded. Huge wealth has been earned, but many more are still poor. Not every Westerner is very wealthy, and most of them are lower than Chinese businessmen in addition to the so-called political status. So Wang Guorui also chose a German who came to the East to do business and went bankrupt, and then he changed his appearance into a so-called general manager of Hans Shipbuilding Company, and Wang Guorui sent a deputy manager to follow him, which was equivalent to monitoring him.

Moreover, this Hans company is only responsible for sales, not production. None of them knew where the ships were produced. So even if this Hans company is ended, it will not be afraid that its warship production will be exposed.

"Okay, with this 10 million taels of silver, then the financial pressure on our island can be much easier. And the next steady stream of 50 million taels of silver, then we will make a lot of money on the island, and Lord Wang will definitely reward me! Perhaps, I can raise my rank to lieutenant colonel. Zhang Dekai thought.

Wang Guorui now costs money everywhere in Taiwan, so Wang Guorui's financial pressure is still very huge. As for many factories on the island of Taiwan, they have not been able to set up. Moreover, the agricultural tax is not much, which is simply not enough for Taiwan to achieve industrialization in the future. After all, it costs money to build factories in Taiwan. It costs money to make machinery, and it costs money to do everything. Although a large number of people are Red Police clones and do not need military spending, the vast majority of them are ordinary workers, and their wages cannot be less, so Wang Guorui's expenses are also very huge. And investment in education should also increase. This cannot be reduced either. So Wang Guorui can only find another way, he plans to sell warships. Wang Guorui produces warships, which not only has a very low cost, but is only about one-tenth of the market price, and the production is directly sold. That's a huge profit! When the time comes, that will certainly be able to make up for the financial pressure on the island of Taiwan to a great extent.

"Okay, this Zhang Dekai really did a good job, this time I can give him a promotion rank and become a lieutenant colonel." Wang Guorui said.

And Zheng Hong next to him saw the draft of the telegram of this warship transaction contract, and Zheng Hong couldn't help but say with some worry: "Husband, if you trade to the Qing court warship like this, will this be asking for trouble for yourself?" If the Qing court has a navy, then I am afraid that if we want to attack the mainland, it will be a lot of trouble. ”

"Hong'er, what do you have to worry about? What kind of virtues are those in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, don't we know yet? The Manchu Qing Dynasty now has a large number of experienced sailors and naval officers who have also come to Taiwan to serve, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has a shortage of experienced sailors. And the next ten years of training sailors alone! A century-old navy is not something to talk about casually. Their talents have been poached by us several times, and their talents who are proficient in Western affairs have been poached by us in Taiwan, and even if we don't come, we will not leave them behind. Therefore, the Manchu Qing will inevitably face a shortage of naval talents, don't look at the fact that they have warships, then their combat effectiveness will be played in two. ”

"And the Manchus don't have the ability to produce their own warships, they can only follow us to buy, and we give them a 20 percent kickback, then they will probably buy with us. When the time comes, we can cut off the supply of their warships at any time, and then one of their warships will be sunk, and there will be one less of them, so we don't have to be afraid of them at all. They are simply a source of water, and they don't value industry, so they can't have a strong navy. ”

Of course, Wang Guorui knew that it was impossible for the Manchus to have a strong navy, this was because the Manchus did not have enough industry, and the Manchus did not have enough industry because of their social system. At present, the landlord class is still in charge of the mainland, and the landlord class on the mainland naturally does not want a large amount of industrial construction. Once a large number of factories on the mainland are opened, there will be no one to cultivate the land of those landlords. A large number of tenants also went to work in the factories, and the landlords were unable to increase their share of the shares by taking advantage of the competition among the tenants. Originally, the landlord could rely on the advantage of the oversupply of tenants to increase the share ratio, but once the industry was built, the industry absorbed a lot of surplus labor, and the landlord was forced to reduce the proportion of rent.

At that time, these are the losses of the landlords, and in order to protect their vested interests, the landlords will definitely oppose industrial construction. Moreover, once industry becomes the mainstream of society, then these landlords will also lose their right to rule, and this is also what the landlords do not want to live.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Manchus to have sufficient industrial strength, and naturally they cannot have a powerful navy. Although it seems that the Manchus also had enlightened people for a short time, it does not mean that they are willing to support industry with one heart. They supported industrial development, but in order to perpetuate their rule, they had to make some compromises to develop appropriate industries. But once industry affects their right to rule, then they will definitely not choose to develop industry.

"Now, the Manchu court has sent us a lot of wealth, and then we can use this money to complete our infrastructure and develop our armaments. And the Manchus didn't know at all that when they bought our warships, they were completely digging their own graves! As long as we have enough financial resources, then we can expand, and then continue to acquire a large amount of land, and finally besiege the Manchus together. ”

"We still have to cultivate internal strength, otherwise we simply don't have enough strength to complete the transformation of the country and society. I really envy those rebels hundreds of years ago, they don't have to worry so much, with my strong strength, I can completely defeat the Pekingese and become the emperor directly. At that time, it was completely possible to directly launch reforms without scrupling about the ideas of Westerners, and who in the world would dare not listen? ”

"But when it's my turn to rebel, I have to take into account the ideas of Westerners, and I can't be too presumptuous, otherwise the Westerners will besiege us together, and we will all be unlucky. Even though he had enough strength, he couldn't directly defeat the Manchus and expel the Tatars. After all, this era has changed, and it is no longer the era of living on landlords in the past, and changes must be made. The talents needed are all aspects, not only the officials of the comprehensive management in the past, whether it is science and technology, military or many aspects, so I will have such a headache! ”

And Zheng Hong saw Wang Guorui's self-deprecating words, and he didn't know what to say. Because she doesn't quite understand the significance of the changes of this era, she has been living in Taiwan and has little understanding of the Western world, and she only learned more Western knowledge after following Wang Guorui. The reason why Wang Guorui was not able to take the initiative to attack the Manchu court must have his own difficulties. He obviously has enough strength, but he can't realize his ancestors' dream of expelling the Tartars, and this Zheng Hong is also a little helpless. And Wang Guorui for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, can only take the method of encroaching on the territory to slowly annex, if the whale swallows, there will inevitably be a lot of feudal remnants, so this is Wang Guorui's headache.
