Chapter Ninety-Nine

Victor has been working hard, there's no doubt about that. In Lihe & Co., Victor's current low position has climbed to the position of deputy general manager in China. Out of the general manager, Victor is the largest in China.

There is no doubt that Victor's position is due to his excellent work, and thanks to Victor's efforts, Lai Ho & Co. has become the largest foreign bank in Europe in terms of export volume to China. In more than four years, Victor has completed the evolution from the lowest level of staff to deputy general manager, and is praised as a legend by today's Shanghai marine industry.

And the man who created this legend is behind a huge desk at the moment, smiling at Victor.

"Boss!" When Victor came in, he took off his top hat and respectfully greeted him. You must know that there is also a German minister to China Hahausen sent a special envoy Andreas of Chapter 99 (middle) to wait, and this high opinion will have a great effect on Victor's reputation in China in the future. What's more, Victor can get huge orders from the boss in front of him every year, as well as a dividend of 3% of the shares of Eurasia Department Store, and an annual commission of 150,000 silver dollars.

To put it mildly, no matter how respectful you are to the big boss in front of you, you can't be too respectful.

"How's it going?" Fang Jianxiong sat still, not what it used to be, and his majesty between his gestures became more and more solemn.

Victor was not curious at all, a warlord with more than 100,000 strong soldiers and four provinces. It is nothing for a powerful Germany, but on the land of China, it is undoubtedly the most powerful person in China today. In terms of population and land area alone, it is already comparable to the previous Germany. There is even a surplus.

China is so big that Minister Hahausen had a private conversation with Victor before that. The content of the conversation was that once Fang Jianxiong seized power in China, with the help of Germany, he would be able to expand his military power to a certain level within five years. After a simple calculation, the Germans came up with a staggering figure. Putting aside the technical arms, this Chapter 99 (Middle) Chinese only need to have enough financial resources. In five years, at least five million infantry can be raised.

Five million! It's a numb figure just thinking about it! Once this Chinese lord, who was hostile to Britain, Japan, and Russia, gained power in China and was willing to cooperate with Germany, it would be difficult for the Russians on the Eastern Front to pose much of a threat to Germany. Unless the greedy Russians are willing to abandon the Far East.

Let's put it this way. Germany needed too much force to contain the Russian threat on the Eastern Front. Judging from the current situation, Fang Jianxiong does not have a single choice to rely on Germany, and is still cooperating with the United States. The German Cabinet instructed Minister Hahausen. Make every effort to put this warlord in the position of leader of the country, and win him to join the side of the Allies.

In private and public, Victor always takes the things that Fang Jianxiong explains.

"Please take a look." Victor stepped forward, took a copy of the material from his bag, and placed it on the desk. Fang Jianxiong habitually waved his hand: "Don't look at it, you just say it." "A lot of times, it's a test. Victor, who was already accustomed to the boss's style, explained with a smile: "According to your requirements." I have entrusted the head office to make some efforts. The U-boat you need will be developed and produced at a separate plant in the Jiangnan Dockyard. However, the Germania shipyard put forward some requirements, such as the annual purchase of no less than 12 submarines, and the cost of the development and improvement of submarines should be borne by the boss. On the issue of personnel training. The German Navy is willing to accept your cadets sent to Germany. However, for the time being, the scale of German submarines is not too large, and there should be no problem in training personnel. ”

Victor was a little proud, this time things were done beautifully. According to the original agreement, there was only one submarine research institute on paper. Germany is currently not paying attention to submarines, and is busy building battleships. Fang Jianxiong is willing to invest in submarines. The Germans were happy to see this and were able to bring orders to the Germania shipyard.

"What about the price of submarines? How about the number jù? Fang Jianxiong asked again, Victor did his homework, and replied unhurriedly: "420 tons of underwater water 450 tons of head-mounted torpedo net cutter, with 4 black-headed torpedoes, can not be loaded, endurance water surface 12 knots 3500 nautical miles underwater 6 knots / 20 minutes." The price is about 700,000 silver dollars each. The Germania shipyard is currently working on a new submarine with a displacement of 750 tons, and if you are willing to contribute this research and development fund, they are willing to share the technology and help you train technicians. Speaking of which, Victor was a little nervous. This is his personal personal goods, the German side does not attach much importance to submarines, and the shipyard lacks funds to invest in research and development. Hearing that there is a wealthy warlord in China who is likely to be the culprit of this wrong, Tong Guò has found Victor and wants him to speak on his behalf.

Fang Jianxiong was silent, looking down at the materials on the table, he couldn't hide his excitement in his heart. The submarine is simply a sneak attack weapon tailored for a rising country like the Chinese Navy. It was a surprise that the Germans were willing to cooperate in the development of the latest model. Originally, the highest expectation was to be able to mix in the ability to produce submarines on its own.

As soon as Fang Jianxiong was excited, he liked to grab something in his hand, and a pencil in his hand was spinning around quickly, silently calculating, how much money should be invested? The investment is large, I am afraid that the Germans will be suspicious, and the investment is small, and I am worried that this research and development will not be able to keep up.

Seeing this, Victor couldn't help but secretly regret it, mainly because the previous increase was too high, twelve submarines a year, which is a small investment of 10 million yuan. Plus the construction of the base or something, the cost is huge. It's definitely hard for the big boss to accept this. But the words have already been spoken, and it is too difficult to take it back, which is equivalent to suing the boss that there is a ghost in his heart.

"Six ships are purchased every year for personnel training, and the R&D investment in new submarines is not enough for two million yuan a year?" Fang Jianxiong showed a painful expression, Victor was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly said, "This should be able to be discussed." ”

"There is also a condition to set up a diesel engine plant in Shanghai."

Submarines are the most powerful weapon of counterattack and the most covert killer weapon of a weak navy. Fang Jianxiong didn't expect the submarine to win the war on the sea, as long as it could cripple one leg of the Japanese.

Victor, satisfied, withdrew. Andreas went in and came out with a smile half an hour later...... No, it's not safe! Yin Ruizhi strongly objected to Fang Jianxiong's departure from the heavily guarded manufacturing bureau, and the experience of Wuchang's assassination is still a bit of a cup bow and snake shadow. Therefore, Fang Jianxiong proposed to go to the city to see the Eurasia Department Store and see the new look of Shanghai, which was immediately met with strong opposition.

"I travel in civilian clothes and bring enough guards, so I don't think there will be much of a problem." Fang Jianxiong insisted with a smile, and Yin Weijun interjected: "You can go and invite Mr. Binglin to come, why does Brother Fang take the risk of taking a trip?" ”

Zhang Taiyan (that is, Zhang Binglin, everyone called him Mr. Taiyan at the time, and his friends called him Binglin) since Tao was assassinated, lived in the Shanghai Public Concession, and scolded people as his main business, and sprayed the League in the newspaper. If history had not been distorted, Zhang Binglin should have gone to the Northeast. Zhang Binglin, who lived in this time and space, stayed in the Shanghai Concession.

Both are the founders of the Restoration Society, Zhang Taiyan and Tao Chengzhang have a very strong friendship and have always advanced and retreated together. This person is relatively clean in history, and he has to find faults, probably only after Liu Shipei couldn't stay in Japan, he wrote a letter to Huang Xing to expose the "so-called" Zhang Taiyan to Duanfang, saying: As long as you give 20,000 yuan, you can abandon revolutionary propaganda and go to India to become a monk.

This matter, later generations defended Zhang Taiyan a lot. (I thought that Zhang Taiyan's jokes should not be taken seriously.) ）

Anyway, this one is definitely going to be pulled like a pigtail. It was also in the process of toppling Sun that he was used as a nuclear weapon by the Baosun faction, anyway, Zhang Taiyan had a mouth that was not clear on this issue, and he lost a lot of points.

Qian Jibo recorded in "The Record of the Restoration of Jiangnan in Xinhai": Binglin is known as a leader of the Restoration Society, but the scholars are ignorant of things. Cheng Zhangzhi can win the public, and it really affects it. There is Tao Chengzhang in the Restoration Society, such as Huang Xing in the Alliance. Binglin is not enough when Sun Wenzhi has a general strategy, and Chengzhang is better than Huang Xingzhi's light hair and many failures. Huang Xing may not be interested in Sun Wen, but Cheng Zhang is really dedicated to Binglin. Again, there is the rebellion of all the princes, each of whom organizes a government in one place, and the order is not unified in one. Cheng Zhang was worried about his sloppiness and undiscipline, and said that Binglin took reunification as the number of the world, and organized the Federation of the Republic of China with Li Yuanhong, Cheng Dequan, Tang Shouqian, Song Jiaoren, Zhang Qian, and Xiong Xiling, and changed it into a unified party.

If the above record is true, then many of the issues have been speculated on historically. Tao Chengzhang's death is conclusive. So, what about Song Jiaoren on the list? Historically, he died on the streets!

Let's put it this way, once these named people got together at that time, they formed this United Party. Not to mention Chen Qimei's low position in Shanghai, Sun Wen's position as a revolutionary leader is in danger. So Tao Chengzhang died and was assassinated in the hospital.

These people are not TG, but they do not have the revolutionary spirit of wiping the blood from their bodies, burying the bodies of their comrades, and continuing to fight.

After Tao Chengzhang's death, the so-called United Party naturally scattered, and Zhang Binglin's life was threatened by Yan Zhan. As the leader of the Restoration Society, Zhang Taiyan was not only sad and angry, but also had to protect himself, so he sprayed Chen Qimei and Huang Xing in the newspaper, which was also purposeful. is to make things bigger, forcing Chen Qimei not to mess around.

Fang Jianxiong went to see Zhang Taiyan, what was the purpose? This is obvious, and if we strive for a Zhang Taiyan, it is very likely that we will get a large number of talents urgently needed by the United Autonomous Region. If these people can stand in Fang Jianxiong's camp, it is not just a matter of people, Fang Jianxiong's reputation has undoubtedly reached a new height. So, Fang Jianxiong thinks the adventure is worth it. Besides, now in Shanghai, Chen Qimei went to Beijing, and there is really no one who dares to fight Fang Jianxiong's idea. rq！！！
