Chapter 6 The help of the old man
Hua Yun and Hua Ming also came with a group of intelligence officers this time, and these personnel were mainly used to win over and infiltrate the top echelons of the Bolshevik Party.
Qin Yu is very concerned about the development of this party, he doesn't expect to be able to change the Russian revolution in World War I, but he is very jealous of the red old man, after all, in his previous life, he knew that this red boss was powerful.
Hua Ming and the two of them also went to Germany to visit the Imperial Emperor this time, Concubine De had not been in contact with the German family since she arrived in China a few years ago, and Concubine De happened to know that they were going to see her father and asked them to bring a letter to her father.
The Krupp family is located in Essen, Germany, a non-county municipality in the Riluhr district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, one of the federal state centers of the administrative region of Düsseldorf, where the Krupp family estate is located.
"My lord, Miss Erin's letter, someone from the Huaxia Empire brought Miss a letter." The old butler pushed open the door of Gustav Krupp's study and said excitedly.
Gustav put down the book in his hand and said lightly: "Well, I know, what about the letters?" "After years in power, he has sat down to the point where he is not alarmed.
"Outside, the ambassador of the Huaxia Empire to our country came with two Huaxia people, and they still want to ask the head of the family to let them in?"
"Well, let them in."
According to the right track of history, Gustav should not have had a daughter so early, and she was an only child. Qin Yu was also very surprised at this point, because the heir of the Krupp family at this time, Gutasev, who he knew, was not from the Krupp family, but a well-established German diplomat.
But in this time and space, although Gustav also inherited the business of the Krupp family, he was much earlier than he knew in his previous life, so there was a matter of him and Erin.
In the past, Qin Yu also thought that there had been a mutation at this time, but after his verification and what happened later, it was very consistent with the well-known history, but the things related to him would change slightly, but it would not affect the normal development of the world.
Gustav was a very capable man, leading the Krupp family to a new climax, especially the cooperation with the emperor's son-in-law of the Chinese Empire allowed him to make great progress in the military industry, basically monopolizing the artillery and guns of the German army, and even being popular with the Allies.
Gustav knew that the people of the Huaxia Empire were not so simple as sending a letter this time, if his guess was right, sending a letter was just by the way, otherwise it would be impossible not to have seen this kind of thing before. Even the ambassador to Germany came along, probably because of something big to discuss, and he didn't think that his stubborn son-in-law would look for him.
Although he is a little dissatisfied with his daughter Erin's current situation, he still sincerely wants his daughter to live a better life. The concubine of the emperor of the Chinese Empire, and two children, the status is very respected in the Chinese Empire, but it is a pity that his grandson cannot inherit the throne in the future, otherwise he is likely to open a Krupp military factory branch in China to support his grandson's capital.
Erin's love is fortunately only in love, if it weren't for the fact that Qin Yu's relationship with Germany is a little special, it is estimated that Erin will inevitably have the possibility of marrying other nobles in Europe, because the Krupp family does not allow women to be in charge of the family, so women are generally used by the family to marry, which is also the sadness of being a noble child.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
"Family master, the distinguished guests of the Huaxia Empire have arrived, can you go in?" The old butler's knock and inquiry woke Gustav from his deep thought.
"Please come in!"
Hua Yun and Hua Ming, along with Li Dahai, the Chinese ambassador to Germany, were led by the old butler into Gustav's study, which contained several sofas for guests to sit on and a table with fruit and wine.
Letting Li Dahai be the envoy to Germany was specially arranged by Qin Yu, and now Li Dahai is a safe earl of the Chinese Empire, if he does not come to Germany, he will be a senior general, because Germany is too important to Huaxia, so Qin Yu wants to send the most trustworthy person to deal with things.
"Hello Dear Lord Guozhang, we greet you on behalf of His Majesty Xià and Concubine De." The three of them bowed solemnly to Gustav and said hello.
Li Dahai gestured to Hua Yun and the others, and they immediately said: "I am Hua Ming (Hua Yun), this time in addition to bringing you the letter of Concubine De Niangniang, there is also my emperor's will, I will explain them one by one later." ”
When Gustav had heard this, he waved his hand to the old butler to go down, and when the old butler saw this, he immediately withdrew, leaving only the four of them in the study.
"Sit down, where's my daughter's letter? Is there anything you want me to help with? Gustav asked slowly after the old butler had gone out.
Hua Yun took out a bulging envelope from the small suitcase he brought at this time and handed it to Gustav, after Gustav got the letter, he didn't open it on the spot to look at it, he just walked to his desk and put the letter in the drawer, and kept it until the conversation was over.
"Your Majesty has asked me to come this time so that Your Excellency can secretly sell a large number of weapons to us, and we have our own channels to get these things back to China. In return, we will send you the production drawings of the new aircraft, how about it? ”
Hua Yun asked for a moment and then remembered something, "By the way, Your Majesty has another sentence to say to you, that is, the empire will inevitably go to war with Russia in the near future, and Outer Mongolia will become the first land managed by Xing'er." ”
He had already guessed about the weapons that Hua Yun said, from the time Hua Yun said that he would secretly sell weapons to his son-in-law, he thought that there would definitely be some war, but he didn't expect that his son-in-law would start a war with Russia so soon, which was beyond his expectations.
Gustav still knows a little about the strength of the military industry of the Chinese Empire, after all, he has counted the weapons production lines ordered by Qin Yu in Germany in the past few years, and the current military industry in China should be able to temporarily meet the needs of the Chinese army, and if it is ordered again, it will show that the Chinese army has greatly exceeded the level of its own weapon manufacturing.
He still wants the drawings of the new aircraft, he has done the aircraft brought by the German military department before, and has produced several in the test flight, once it is successful, it can be produced in batches, and with the new drawings he can shorten a lot of research time and funds.
Let Outer Mongolia be the first land to be managed by his grandson, does Qin Yu already have the confidence to win? However, after thinking of some of his son-in-law's powerful weapons, he felt that the odds of victory were very high.
Outer Mongolia does not have as many traditional forces as in the interior of China, and Outer Mongolia can accept the governance of Russia, which means that it can accept the rule of its grandson, and there will not be so many constraints on the future development of its grandson.
Since it is the first piece, there will be a second piece, he knows that Qin Yu is creating conditions for Xing'er to prepare for the future, even if he can't be the emperor, he must not be far behind.
"I'm afraid I can't support too many weapons, after all, our current pre-orders for each country have been scheduled for next year, and they are all orders from our allies, so you know.
As to when the war between you and the Russians will begin, if it is delayed, I will provide you with enough weapons, even if the workers work in three shifts, and I will make them rush to produce the weapons you need. Gustav asked very sternly, this is related to the future of his grandson, his grandson has developed well in China, and their Krupp family can better invest in China in the future, but he is no longer satisfied with the military industry.
"It doesn't take too much, it's good to prepare a group army, the empire's recent expansion is a bit too fast, and the supply of weapons and equipment is not enough. As for when the war will start, it is estimated that Outer Mongolia will be recovered within two years, after all, now that the empire has just been established, it should not be fought so soon.
His Majesty said that we should do our best to get the weapons and equipment right, and we need these weapons for the training of our soldiers, so I hope that Your Excellency will quickly provide us with these weapons and equipment. Hua Ming thought for a moment and said.
In fact, Hua Ming and the others knew that Qin Yu was going to launch a war against Lao Maozi in a few months, one was Qin Yu's henchmen, and the other two were the core personnel of the imperial intelligence department, they knew that this was not surprising, but they couldn't reveal it in front of anyone.
Gustav also felt a little pressure after hearing that it was a group army, the standard of a group army in China is 150,000 people and three armies, and it is not so easy to get these weapons and equipment in a short time, after all, their production has basically been ordered by various countries.
Now he can only postpone some weapons ordered by other countries or let other military factories complete them, but then their credibility will be damaged, and their face will not be good.
But fortunately, there are still a few arsenals he knows in Germany that are very good friends, and the difference in quality is not very big, you can give them orders from those small countries for them to do, and it is almost the same as being a son-in-law himself. It is still possible to complete it in half a year by doing it himself and then adding the weapons and equipment in the previous inventory, and he can't care so much about it for the sake of his grandson.
As for when the war would start, which was extremely important, Gustav could understand their difficulty, but now he had roughly guessed that Qin Yu would attack next summer.
"In this case, I can complete it in half a year, and you know that our production schedule is very crowded, if you can come earlier, you can get it quickly.
This war must be won, and when the war starts, I will help you suppress some of the domestic arms dealers from supplying weapons to Russia, and there is only so much I can do. Gustav rubbed his temples and said.
After hearing this, Hua Ming and the others were very satisfied, it was already rare to be able to squeeze out time to produce their weapons within half a year, after all, Huaxia had taken away a lot of German weapons in the past few years, and Germany also needed to store enough weapons and equipment.
This time, the weapons were basically shipped back to China, and only a small part were for the Russian red elements, and for the red elements, they would exchange the weapons of the empire.
