In any case, it is a face-saving thing for China to agree to give compensation, Yang Du and Duan Qirui have a step, originally Qiao Yu also hoped to get more benefits and force Yue Ben to give more concessions, but Yang Du obviously does not have this confidence, and it is already a great success to do this, and it is worth hype.

Said Ben also gave up the pursuit of the [***] team in Qingdao, attributing them to the bandit armament, and at this time the anti-Japanese guerrillas who rose in Shandong carried this black pot down, of course, it is also clear that it will definitely not be a group of bandits, but they are not like continuing to track, and now it is not important to make any money at this time.

The results were explained to the public, and the demonstrations in various places apparently began to stop, and the boycott of the goods gradually disappeared, and the Hanyang Iron Works resumed supplying iron ore to the company, but the two sides reached an agreement to revise the price of iron ore, and the original transaction price was a preferential price, but now it has been changed to the market price.

There is no doubt that he will pay more money to buy iron ore, but he has to agree to get the supply of raw materials as soon as possible, in fact, the iron ore restrictions during this period have had a rather bad impact on him, and the European battlefield has unexpectedly fallen into a standoff at this time.

Germany lost its only chance to win, but the Entente bloc obviously had no way to defeat the powerful Germany quickly, it could only compete with internal forces, and overseas orders were also increasing wildly, starting from the initial grain, textiles and other raw materials, it has developed to merchant ships and munitions, in short, everything related to the war was needed by the Entente.

It is said that due to the problem of raw materials, part of the construction period has been delayed, so that their share of orders has dropped a lot, and many of these declining shares have fallen on the head of Sichuan, making Sichuan's industrial development stronger.

In addition, Qiao Yu's part of the military technology exported to Germany has undoubtedly increased the number of casualties in the European war, for example, Germany is more equipped with machine guns than in history, creating a more crazy bullet storm, on the battlefield of the Western Front, Germany killed 50,000 French soldiers in the Battle of the Marne, although France thwarted the German offensive, but the loss of more soldiers than Germany, reached about 350,000, more than 60,000 more than in history.

The British were also swept by machine guns, and these arrogant Britons were also hit head-on and dizzy, and even more miserable was the Tsar, Tsarist Russia was defeated by the Russian-Japanese War, which made the aura on Russia fade a lot, but at this time Russia is undoubtedly still a giant beast, and it will still make Europe tremble when launched.

However, after the start of the war, Russia quickly tasted the bitter fruits, after the start of the war, Russia's mobilization was far less effective than that of other countries, although the number of Russia was very amazing, reaching 650,000, but the logistics and arms were a mess, not able to support the huge war needs at all, and what was worse was that Russia did not even have a military-specific password communication, and the use was still civilian, and Russia's military mobilization was given to the Germans in vain.

The Russians were the first to invade East Prussia, and the Russians did not know that there was a sinister and murderous creature waiting for these gray animals.

This person is Ludendorff, since the trip to Sichuan, Ludendorff has submitted a lot of observation reports, in which Ludendorff emphasized the importance of machine guns, and also introduced the idea of forming an elite special combat team, in addition to Ludendorff also suggested vigorously promoting the use of mortars, and Ludendorff also expressed concern that the war may be stalemate, and he believes that the power of European countries that have completed industrialization is rising very rapidly.

At this time, all countries did not actually understand how to conduct the war, but continued the backward tactics of the past, which made the war a simple competition of forces, and after the completion of industrialization, the two camps were able to mobilize almost the world's resources to fight the war, and this competition will inevitably cause the war to be prolonged, which will undoubtedly be a disaster for Germany.

However, it is a pity that Ludendorff's views have not been noticed by the German high-level, but many of his ideas have also been valued by the German high-level, especially after the war, the firepower of the German [***] team is far better than that of Britain and France, especially the firepower of the grassroots, which makes the German [***] team like a bamboo in the early stage.

After Ludendorff was ordered to transfer to the Eastern Front, he has been carefully building a trap for the Russians, the Germans lured the Russian army into East Prussia, and then the German [***] team cut off the supply lines of the Russian army, the Germans' arrangement had an effect, the Russians crashed into the pocket, the back road was completely cut off, and in the face of the attack of Germany's powerful firepower, the Russians only symbolized the resistance of the surname, and then quickly fell into chaos.

A large number of Russian soldiers retreated like lambs, and the Germans immediately launched a pursuit, more and more gray cattle fell on the soil of East Prussia, and the Russian lost more than 200,000 troops in the entire Battle of Tannanberg, which was much larger than in history, and all the heavy equipment was lost, and the two armies were almost wiped out.

The clay-legged giant showed his weakness this time, and the disparity between the German losses and the Russian losses of less than 8,000 men shook the world, and Ludendorff ascended to the prominent position of the god of war in one fell swoop, becoming a well-deserved symbol of victory in the eyes of the Germans.

However, Ludendorff's heart was not very happy, his ears frequently rang Qiao Yu and what he said when talking about the situation in Europe, although Qiao Yu was secretive and did not want to say more, but Ludendorff still clearly remembered Qiao Yu's words, if Germany wants to become strong, it must be the enemy of the whole world, although Germany is very strong, but the resistance is too great.

Now Ludendorff feels that Qiao Yu's words are being fulfilled, although Germany has achieved advantages on both the east and west fronts, but can not quickly open the stalemate, which determines that Germany will inevitably fall into a war of attrition, the production capacity of the United States has begun to mobilize at this time, the people who originally hated the war have also begun to go crazy for the dividends of the war, the Far East is also producing military supplies for the Entente, and even China's Sichuan has begun to throw off its arms, desperately sending strategic materials to Britain and France, Germany is confronting the world!

Since the outbreak of the war, the British consul general in Chengdu, Fu Shan, has lived a very comfortable life, Sichuan has burst out beyond the British imagination of production capacity, grain, cloth, military supplies, medicines, ore, tung oil, pig bristles, etc. are all sent to Europe in a steady stream, Fu Shan's status is getting higher and higher, and even some high-level figures in China suggested that he serve as a minister, Sichuan to the Entente is much more helpful than other parts of China.

"Mr. Patrol Envoy, your old friend has brought you business again!"

"Mr. Fushan, I have been waiting for you for a long time, you can rest assured that the Sichuan side will definitely support the just cause of the Entente!"

Fu Shanxin said that if there were not enough benefits, would you, the little fox, be able to provide supplies to the British!

"Joe, you know that the Russians have suffered a heavy defeat, a very heavy defeat, hundreds of thousands of people have all been sacrificed, and now Russia urgently needs to replenish arms, I hope that Sichuan can give support!"

"Mr. Fushan, there is no problem with this, the factories in Sichuan can be open to supply to Russia, but Russia's performance in this war is really too bad, we need to pay in pounds or gold to be able to send arms to Russia, not rubles!"

"There is no problem, Britain will bear the cost, I want to know what is the current production capacity of Sichuan, and can it meet our needs?"

"Old friends, you must know that the Sichuan Arsenal was originally maintained by German technology, but after the outbreak of the war, most of these technicians were withdrawn, even if some were left, they were not willing to produce weapons to attack their motherland, so now the production capacity of the Sichuan Arsenal is only about half of the highest capacity, and it can produce about 40 artillery pieces per month, and our metallurgical technology is still lacking, and we are not able to produce large-caliber artillery, I have a proposal that Britain and France send us some technicians, transfer us some patents, and then Sichuan will give the Entente the best price! ”

As soon as Fu Shan heard Qiao Yu's words, he lowered his head and thought about it, the production capacity of the Sichuan Arsenal is not very weak, if the monthly production capacity can exceed a hundred, it will still be very helpful for the war, of course, these quantities are much worse than the European battlefield, but it is enough to supplement Russia, and the most critical point is that it is cheap.

"Joe, I will definitely report to the country, and we will try to sign a cooperation agreement, but I hope that our arms can be temporarily offset with loans!"

Qiao Yu knew that this was a real money that the British didn't want to pay too much for the time being, to minimize expenses, Qiao Yu was not worried, the war was still far away, sooner or later the British would sell all their pants, and now if they could eliminate the loans, they would be able to maximize Sichuan's reading power, so Qiao Yu nodded and agreed without hesitation.

"This is completely possible, such as the Sichuan part of the Gengzi indemnity can also be withdrawn separately, and it is also completely possible to use it to compensate for the cost of arms! However, if this kind of loan is repaid, the British power to supervise Sichuan's finances should also be abolished! ”

Fu Shan's mood at this time is undoubtedly complicated, the outbreak of the European war has made the halo on Britain's head disappear quickly, Qiao Yu undoubtedly wants to get rid of British control, but is there any other way for the British Empire?

Just three days later, China, Britain, France, and Russia reached an agreement, Britain paid for it, France provided technology, China produced, and Russia used arms trade agreement, initially China will provide Russia with 50 75 mm guns every month, France helped China improve the technical level of the Sichuan arsenal, and after half a year, Sichuan began to export 105 mm caliber mountain guns, and then depending on the situation.
