"Your Excellency?"

Luo Yaoguo finished dinner at Qu Ying's, and as soon as he returned to the mansion in Dongtangzi Hutong, he found that there were several Japanese Ye Yiyao sitting in the living room accompanying them, chatting without a word. A Japanese middle-aged man wearing a Japanese dress and round glasses led by Chinese Network is obviously smiling on his face, but it still gives people an eerie and terrifying feeling.

Since the Second and Second Russian Wars, Japan seems to have temporarily abandoned its ambitions for China. During this time, it was also quiet and abnormal, and it was only recently that he hooked up with Wang Jingwei again and started a new move. It seems that they also want to learn from the United States and dress themselves as investors, not robbers. But now that they should know Sun Yat-sen's decision, is it a little too late to come to Luo Yaoguo at this time?

"This is Nagata Tetsuyama Chinese New Year's Eve, and he is the head of the driving section of the Maintenance Bureau of the Japanese Army Ministry." Hearing her husband's question, Ye Yiyao hurriedly answered.

"Isn't it Yongtian Tieshan, Your Excellency must be Marshal Luo Fuwen, right?" Yongtian Tieshan also stood up and bent slightly at Luo Yaoguo. However, the pair of gloomy and sharp eyes behind the glasses have never left Luo Yaoguo's face, and Luo Yaoguo has goosebumps all over his body.

"Nagata Tieshan, oh......" Luo Yaoguo responded, but his eyebrows tightened. He had heard this name in his previous life, not only had he heard it, but it was like thunder This Nagata is the leader of the so-called "unification faction" in the Japanese army, Chinese New Year's Eve, Tojo Hideki or something, or his brother In this life, the overall war system and national spirit promoted by Luo Yaoguo were driven, and more than half of them imitated what Nagata did in Japan, so he was criticized as militarism by the left and the center.

Nagata Tetsuyama sighed and said in fluent English: "Marshal, my Chinese is not good, let's talk to Your Excellency in English instead." ”

After Luo Yaoguo handed the briefcase and Chinese New Year's Eve clothes to Ye Yiyao, he told her to serve the best oolong tea, and then sat down in the upper seat of the living room, looking at Yongtian Tieshan with a smile.

Nagata also looked at Luo Yaoguo and smiled: "Is the national government going to keep rejecting the friendship of the Japanese Empire on Chinese New Year's Eve?" Will China and Japan remain in the shadow of the Sino-Japanese War? ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled and shook his head: "We didn't refuse your country's friendship, we just ...... There is no one in your country who can really see the trend of the world, so there is no possibility of making friends with China. ”

"What?" Nagata was stunned. If this is changed to another Chinese, Nagata Tieshan will definitely be a crazy one, and he will not leave. But this Luo Yaoguo in front of them, the Japanese have been paying attention to it for a long time, this person is definitely one of the most strategic and intelligent people in the Nationalist Government, uh, the Japanese intelligence agency explained that Chiang Kai-shek is also working as cunning and cunning as Luo Yaoguo

Luo Yaoguo sighed softly: "What does Mr. Nagata think of the current world situation?" ”

"The situation in the world?" Nagata was stunned and stunned. Today, he originally wanted to come to discuss the situation in China with Luo Yaoguo. Some of them in the Japanese military have no understanding of China, but they can't understand the world or anything, so they don't know much...... Besides, it is enough for a "neous country" like Japan to look at China and Manchuria, and do you still need to look at the world? Well, it's not that no one looks at it, and the people in the Navy sometimes look at it, but the main thing is to look at the United States.

"Anyone who has nothing to do with it, please leave this room, and I will have some private affairs with Nagata on Chinese New Year's Eve." Luo Yaoguo waved at his guards and Ye Yiyao, signaling them to leave. At the same time, several Japanese who saw Nagata's eyes also exited the room with interest and drank the northwest wind in the cold and windy courtyard.

"If the marshal has anything to say, please." Nagata Tieshan looked at Luo Yaoguo humbly, looking like he was listening to the teachings.

Luo Yaoguo picked up the tea bowl and drank the best oolong tea, moistened his throat, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yongtian, we have an ancient Chinese saying that 'Qin loses its deer, and the world will chase it away.'" 'You should have heard of the reputation of your Japanese army's first Chinese New Year's Eve, right?' ”

Nagata Tieshan frowned and nodded: "That's from the historical records. The Marquis of Huaiyin, but does this have anything to do with the current world situation? ”

Luo Yaoguo sighed and shook his head. Xin said: "Return the first Chinese New Year's Eve brain in the Japanese army?" The first brain is still almost at this point, and I still can't understand it, I'm afraid there is only a full mask in my eyes, and I can't see anything else."

"Your Excellency Marshal is Britain, France and other Western Chinese New Year's Eve Empire is Qin" Luo Yaoguo just wanted to mention something, Nagata, the first Chinese New Year's Eve brain of the Japanese army, finally turned a corner. However, he still wrinkled his eyebrows tightly, looking incredulous: "The British Empire and the French Empire are not capable of being able to Chinese New Year's Eve even if they are going to disintegrate, it is not something that our generation can see."

This is not entirely wrong, Nagata Tieshan simply didn't see this day in history and let the more brainless Imperial Dao faction lose it. In this plane, I wonder if I will have a little luck?

Looking at Nagata's stunned face, Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly: "Mr. Nagata, the British and Chinese New Year's Eve French empires are actually on the verge of disintegration, in fact, in the last world Chinese New Year's Eve war, they were almost finished, and it was only because of the intervention of the United States that Britain and France were able to survive...... However, after Britain and France defeated Germany with the blood of American youth, they did not give a corresponding return, or the American people were not satisfied with this return. Therefore, at present, the Americans feel that they have suffered a loss, and they are unwilling to intervene in European affairs anymore. The British and French Chinese New Year's Eve Empires will therefore face a second challenge from a re-emerging Germany in the future, and I am confident that this time Germany will succeed."

The first Chinese New Year's Eve in the Japanese army in the legend was in chaos at this time, Nagata Tetsuyama certainly knew that once the British and Chinese New Year's Eve French empires closed their eyes and kicked their legs, what would it mean, that meant that almost half of the world lost its master at once, and also lost care Chinese New Year's Eve piece of Chinese New Year's Eve fertile and rich land was like a stunning beauty, lying naked in front of Japan, a beast armed to the teeth......

"What a great opportunity, this is the only chance for us yellow people to turn around, if we miss it, another new white empire will replace Britain to dominate the world. And Japan's best future is the United States...... Slave uh, but I'm sure the Americans would be a good master. Luo Yaoguo used a slightly sarcastic language to start painting Chinese New Year's Eve cakes for Yongtian Tieshan Chinese New Year's Eve it seems that it has now become his main business......

“…… Mr. Nagata, we as soldiers are very fortunate to have encountered such an era, and even more fortunate that I still have enough strong force in my hands for the Chinese New Year's Eve. If these two forces do not consume each other, half of the world will be enough under my feet for China and Japan to divide up. But if we both expend our strength on each other, so that we miss the opportunity, and let the United States become the world hegemon. How can we be worthy of history, the country, and the nation? ”

After the Chinese New Year's Eve cake was drawn, Luo Yaoguo sat there quietly, holding the tea bowl in his hand and sipping it in one gulp. Don't talk, and don't look at Nagata Tieshan.

Nagata Tetsuyama's face is now blue and white. In their hearts, they are thinking about whether they should carve up China or the world? This is a simple question that the Japanese don't understand.

"But...... We, the Japanese Empire, need China's resources to store our war power, and only then can we intervene in the partition of the world in the future. If you are really sincere, how about changing the iron ore mines in Pukou and Meishan to a joint operation of steel plants by Chinese and Japanese companies? Nagata Tieshan thought about it for a long time, and it turned out to be this result.

Luo Yaoguo was silent for a moment, and smiled coldly: "I still don't understand that little bit of your thoughts?" They don't want to set up any steel mills in Pukou and Meishan at all, they just don't want the Americans to set up a steel mill there that will enhance China's industrial strength. Is there a better place in China to grow heavy industry? Okay, since we don't have anything in common, let's stop at that. ”

"Northeast? Your Excellency means ......" A hint of surprise suddenly flashed on Nagata's face: "I understand what Your Excellency Marshal means, and I will retire under you." Wangata Tetsuyama stood up, turned around and walked out.

……

"Supplement, at present, in the area under the rule of our Nationalist Government, there are already Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai, Yesong Shipyard in English, and 'Guangzhou Blom. A total of four Chinese New Year's Eve shipyards, 'FUCHS Shipyard' and 'Guangzhou Germania Shipyard', have or will soon have the shipbuilding capacity to build Chinese New Year's Eve-type ships with an unladen displacement of 50,000 tons, and the United States' Bethlehem Steel Company also plans to build a Chinese New Year's Eve-type shipbuilding base on Changxing Island in Shanghai. If all these shipyards are completed, we will have the ability to start construction of five super-battleships with an unladen displacement of 50,000 tons at the same time, and China Steel and Krupp have planned to expand the steel plant in Hainan and prepare to build a Chinese New Year's Eve steel plate production base there. The Bethlehem Iron and Steel Company of the United States will also invest in the construction of a production base for steel plates and seamless steel pipes in Nanjing, and if everything goes well, our heavy industry construction will be quite large-scale in less than three years, and there will be no problem in crossing Japan."

Lu Ming sat in the living room of "Beilu" with an excited face, dancing and introducing the latest situation of the current growth of South China's shipbuilding industry to his brother-in-law Luo Yaoguo. His current public identity is the chief engineer of the Ministry of Armaments, and his secret mission is the chief representative of the Chinese side of the Sino-German Cooperation Expert Group. During this time, China and Germany have been running at both ends, and they have spent no less time on the plane than on the ground. He had just returned from Germany in the past two days, and he also brought the latest battleship design drawings and a piece of news that might surprise Luo Yaoguo on Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Auxiliary text...... This time, it seems that the Germans want to use the shipyards in our country to build warships for export. ”

"Oh yes?" Luo Yaoguo just answered, didn't raise his head, and his eyes were still looking at the battleship design drawings and technical data that Lu Ming brought back.

Lu Ming brought back the battleship drawings and technical data and the "Karl . The Marx-class battleships were slightly out of place. The main reason is to add three Walter high-pressure heavy oil boilers, and at the same time reduce the oil depot. The design of the battleship's power system reached 150,000 horsepower at the end of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the maximum speed was increased from 27 knots to 30 knots, but the cruising range was reduced to 8,000 nautical miles, and other designs were not changed, still using key protection and 9 triple 380 mm 52 times caliber naval guns. The standard displacement was increased to 39,000 tons, while the full load displacement remained unchanged at 46,000 tons.

Luo Yaoguo is still very satisfied with the technical data of this battleship that the Germans came up with, although it is not without places that can be improved. For example, there is a slight lack of anti-aircraft firepower, and after going to Germany this time, we will ask the Germans to increase anti-aircraft firepower. In addition, the 380 mm 52 times caliber gun also seems to be a bit weak. Although this main gun seems to be very close to the main gun of the battleship Bismarck, which sank the Hood in history, it is still a little doubtful that this caliber of naval gun can sink the Nagato? It would be nice if it could be replaced with a 403 mm caliber gun.

"Carl. Marx? Luo Yaoguo suddenly saw that the name of the battleship marked in German on the battleship drawings was actually the name of the bearded man on Chinese New Year's Eve, he frowned slightly, raised his head and looked at Lu Ming: "Brother Ziyan, is this name Marx?" Is that the grandfather of GCD? ”

Lu Ming smiled awkwardly: "Yes, it's that Carl. Marx...... He's also a German and a brilliant thinker, well, the Germans respect him a lot."

"Won't it?" Luo Yaoguo shook his head and asked again: "By the way, just now the Germans wanted to use the shipyard built in China to build warships for export?" It won't be this Carl. Marx, right? Uh, is it sold to ...... USSR? ”

Lu Ming lifted his glasses and nodded: "Gustav. Mr. Krupp has already worked with the director of the Red Navy of the USSR, Romouald? Adamovich? Muklevich signed an agreement to sell two Marx-class battleships to the Soviet Union for seventy-five million dollars. Parting named Carl. Marx and Friedrich. Engels. It's all about working at their shipyard in China......"

"What" Luo Yaoguo stood up suddenly: "Two ships are so expensive as seven and five million dollars?" Is that what sold us the same price? ”

Hearing Luo Yaoguo's question, Lu Ming sighed lightly and said with a smile: "Of course not, we only need to pay 50 million US dollars to win two ships, and we can also pay fiat currency." In addition, the price of Krupp to subcontract the two battleships of the Soviets to a joint venture shipyard in China was also $50 million, and a deposit of $20 million was also paid in advance. I have calculated that the cost of building this class of battleships in China will definitely not exceed the $20 million per joint venture shipyard that builds four battleships, and there will be $20 million in pre-tax profits. In addition, the government can also get a tax revenue, so it is still a good deal. The only problem is that the Soviet Union and we are not very friendly......"

This Krupp will make a profit of 25 million dollars by buying and selling two battleships, and then he can make another vote by exporting special steel to China, and finally the joint venture shipyard will still make a profit, this capitalist system is really evil.

"The Soviet Union is not friendly with us...... Then we should do this deal. Luo Yaoguo sat down on the sofa again and said with a smile: "Ziyan, think about it, Si Chinese New Year's Eve Lin is a person who is angry." This time, we spent tens of millions of dollars to order two battleships, and these two battleships were in our hands before they were completed, and if the Soviet Union dared to attack us, wouldn't their tens of millions of dollars be wasted? With Mr. Krupp's shrewdness, it is estimated that it has been clearly written in the contract that there will be no refund for this, right? ”

"Oh. It seems that the Soviets paid half of the deposit first, and then paid another 40 percent according to the progress of the battleship construction, and the remaining 10 percent was settled after the Soviet Union had accepted the battleship, and this payment was also the most beneficial to Krupp

Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "It seems that the Chinese New Year's Eve Lin really made the Japanese battleships bitter in the second day of the Russian War. Now that the first five-year plan of the Soviet Union has only just begun, it is gritting its teeth to grow its navy, so that they will definitely invest less in other areas. Maybe it will ...... in World War II in the future."

"Fuwen, I think Krupp's business experience is very good, and we should learn it too." Lu Ming seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and he thought of something good, he smiled and said:

"This arms business is so profitable, there is no reason why our armaments department should not do it, right? And at present, many new heavy industrial enterprises have opened on our land, which can more or less accept orders for military products. Why don't we set up an arms trading company in our armaments department? ”

Luo Yaoguo frowned, thought for a while, and shook his head: "Ziyan, this time Krupp was able to sell two battleships for 75 million US dollars, and it was all their German brand. If you replace it with us...... I'm afraid that no one wants half the price. However, we should still encourage this arms trade, so let's set up an arms trade bureau to promote and manage China's arms exports. Remember, the principle of our arms exports is that as long as there are countries or governments that are not at war with us, they can sell arms to them. Except for the arms that are prohibited by the Ministry of Armaments, all other arms can also be exported. Also, contact the Sino-German aircraft manufacturing company and Blom again. Foss Shipyard and Yesson Shipyard, do they have any good arms products that can be exported? This time, when we went to Europe and the United States to pay our respects, we also asked them to organize an arms trade delegation and go with them
