Chapter Seventy-Nine

Shangguan directly approached Zhao Yi of the Military Intelligence Agency, and first followed the work of the Special Operations Team of the Military Intelligence Bureau. In the future, you will use more snacks. After explaining, Shangguan Xue left with a suspicious face, and Fang Jianxiong said to Yin Ruizhi: "The work of the telecommunications room of the Military Intelligence Bureau, I plan to let my little sister arrest her, you go and ask her if she is willing?" ”

Yin Ruizhi asked puzzled: "Why?" Fang Jianxiong explained with a low smile: "The Military Intelligence Bureau is too bad, I don't worry about letting a few of my own people go." Yin Ruizhi liked to listen to this, nodded and agreed, and Fang Jianxiong said again: "Go and ask Mr. Douglas to come over." ”

Douglas was fast-paced and looked anxious, to which Fang Jianxiong smiled. As a pit digger, watching the pleasure of foreign devils falling into it is really so cool.

"What's wrong with you, my friend?" Fang Dashuai also asked with great concern, and frankly speaking, Douglas did not doubt Fang Dashuai's quality at all. Because, before that, he was unaware of the fact in front of him. It wasn't until he won the contract of the order and gave it back to the United States that he realized that he had done a huge stupid thing.

Of course, Douglas can also play tricks, but judging from the current international and domestic situation, if he cheats and doesn't need to do anything with Fang Dashuai, some capitalists in the United States can send him to hell.

"Fang, we may need to have a good conversation." Douglas maintained his composure, speaking in a pleading tone.

Fang Dashuai showed a stern expression, and said with a straight face: "Yes, then come in and talk." After entering, Fang Dashuai said to the guards at the door: "Before Mr. Douglas leaves." Don't bother with anyone or anything. ”

The secret conversation in the office began with a telegram from the United States. Douglas took out the telegram and handed it over, and when Fang Jianxiong took it, he noticed that the telegram was crumpled and had a lot of sweat stains on it. I was a little ashamed in my heart, this thing was a bit immoral. However, this shame quickly disappeared. As a patriot, Fang Dashuai has a clear understanding of the nature of US imperialism.

After putting away his shame, Fang Jianxiong read the telegram very carefully. There is only one central idea. The order contract for half a million rifles is simply not in a position that the American side can afford to complete in two years.

"Mr. Douglas, this joke is not funny at all. As the country with the largest industrial capacity in the world today. I think you're insulting my IQ. Fang Dashuai showed an angry expression, stood up and fluttered the telegram in his hand. This anger, no matter how you look at it, is not pretended.

Douglas also didn't think that Fang Jianxiong was acting, because, logically, there was no need for it.

"Honorable Fang, please forgive me for my recklessness, on the basis of not doing a prior investigation, my actions may have delayed your great cause. This. I must apologize to you first. Again, allow me to give you a detailed explanation. Douglas kept wiping the sweat from his head, for him, this was the biggest crisis of his life, an unprecedented crisis. And whether this crisis can be solved. It depends on whether the warlord in front of him can lend a hand.

Yes, if this order angers the warlord and causes the warlord to question the prospects for cooperation with the United States, it will be a huge failure for the entire China strategy of the US government. Consequence. It may be that in the next two decades, it will not be able to gain a foothold in the Chinese market. Of course, it is only one level, and what is even more terrifying is that Fang Jianxiong is likely to break off a cooperation with American capital in the financial field. If something like this happens, the consequence can only be Douglas's death on the streets.

"Well, you go on." Fang Dashuai was quite calm, and even turned back, picked up a cigarette and handed it to Douglas. Douglas, who was accustomed to smoking cigars, did not have the demeanor of a financier in the past. After taking it, he slowly lit the fire, took a deep breath, but choked with tears and snot, and touched his handkerchief and scribbled it.

"The current situation is such that the military-industrial complex of the whole United States combined, produces less than 150,000 rifles a year. Not to mention, you need a rifle of 7mm caliber, and the line of bullets is also a big problem. I hope that you will be able to win the contract and modify it, and the specific content can be discussed in detail. If you can delay the full delivery of the goods to three and a half years, I will be grateful to you. Douglas told the truth, and Fang Dashuai once again showed an incredible expression.

Fang Dashuai's acting skills, after a long period of tempering, can be described as perfect. In fact, he has a very clear memory in his mind that the output of rifles by US military enterprises at the beginning of 14 years was about 100,000 rifles per year. After the outbreak of World War I, even in 1918, the annual production of rifles in the United States was only 400,000.

That's why Fang Dashuai handed over the order to the United States, which is a huge pit. Douglas did not expect that even if it had the world's first industrial level, it would not be too easy to transform it into military production capacity, and what was needed was a relatively long-term process. During World War I, Russia's huge rifle gap relied on the production of Britain and France.

Fang Jianxiong dug such a pit, undoubtedly he didn't have a good heart. Of course, if you want to express xiàn, it is the other side. Fang Jianxiong has always been performing as a natural gentleman, and there are no impurities at all in terms of quality, if there is, it is also a drag from others. Mmmm, the bad things are done by the people below, and there are temporary workers.

"Damn, my plan for the next five years is to expand the Wehrmacht to one million, and I have more orders for this to be given to my partner, the United States. Mr. Douglas, what do you think I should do about this? First of all, in the face of such a large country, a million troops may not be enough. Fang Jianxiong's words are a good interpretation of the image of an ambitious warlord, and Douglas's uneasiness is intensified.

"Your Excellency, it seems that we really need to talk about it again." Douglas could only calm down, and it was clear that this warlord had great ambitions and was in a strongly uneasy state of mind. As far as the current political situation in China is concerned, it is normal for this warlord to have such a mentality.

"yes. It needs to be talked about. When Fang Dashuai said this, he walked to the window, raised his hand to open the curtains, looked out of the window solemnly with his back, and did not look back for a long time. At this time, there can be a shot, a close-up of the front, in order to see Fang Dashuai's expression at the moment. Full of smug smiles after winning the hand. Then, Fang Dashuai took a deep breath and put away the expression on his face. Turn around in the strictest posture.

"Mr. Douglas, I will never allow this to affect my plan to unify the country by force. Never! "Angry Fang Dashuai. With a fierce wave of his hand, he slammed into the wall in a circle, making a shocking muffled sound, and it seemed that the whole house was trembling. The guards at the door didn't wait to say hello, they pushed the door and rushed in, and saw that Fang Dashuai's fist was still on the wall, and a drop of blood was slowly falling along the edge of his palm.

"Your Excellency, General!" Douglas stood up in horror and stared blankly.

"Get out, I didn't let you in." Fang Dashuai turned his head and gave an order coldly. The guard turned and went out resolutely, and closed the door.

"Shhh A bang. Fang Dashuai withdrew his fist, and an obvious recessed mark appeared on the wall. After shaking off the blood stains on his hand a few times, Fang Dashuai took out a handkerchief and simply held it down. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'm fine." Anger won't solve anything, my friend. Let's figure out how to solve this problem. ”

Douglas remembered Fisher's sentence and summed it up in one sentence, "Fang is an Oriental aristocrat with lofty qualities and lofty ideals." And "deep down in his heart." At all times, we will put human affection in a very important position. How to make good use of this will be an important benchmark for solving China's problems. ”

At this moment, Douglas seemed to understand the meaning of the above two sentences.

"First of all, we have to face up to this problem, from the current reality, delays have become inevitable. So, in the face of this reality, how to minimize the negative effects brought by reality is a problem that we must solve. Objectively speaking, I have always been pessimistic about the situation in Europe. There is an opinion that Germany and Great Britain are the largest trading partners, and the probability of war between them is almost zero. Well, put aside the judgment of this bastard and talk about the reality in front of you. Fang Jianxiong walked back to his position, picked up the teacup, rinsed the wound with tea, walked to the washer, picked up the towel and wrapped it a few times, and returned to Douglas.

At this time, Douglas was still staring blankly at the marks and blood stains on the wall.

"Mr. Douglas?" Fang Jianxiong raised his voice, and this one finally came back to his senses. Ah said: "Yes, damn Europe has not been peaceful, and you can't pin your hopes on Europe." ”

"Yes, I agree. But the problem at hand is also very realistic, the production of arms in the United States is really shit. In two years, 500,000 rifles could not be produced, and there was a corresponding bullet production line. This was such a surprise. Well, let's not talk about that, let's talk about how to solve this problem. ”

For the next two hours, Fang Jianxiong and Douglas had a conversation similar to the cooperation between friends in the East.

To Douglas's surprise, His Excellency Fang Jianxiong did not take the form of claims to resolve the crisis, as Western businessmen did. Even, Fang did not raise the issue of claims at all, and kept the topic on how to solve this crisis.

In the end, the preliminary paper draft reached by the two sides is: first, five new rifle production lines and five bullet production lines will be set up in Wuhu for local production, and the shortage of raw material copper can be cooperated with Fisher, who is planning to expand the operation of Tongguanshan Mining. Second, the delivery period was extended to the end of April 1914. Third, the construction of Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant has been accelerated, with an annual output of 500,000 tons at the end of 13, an annual output of 800,000 tons at the end of 14, and an annual output of 1 million tons at the end of 15. Fourth, a smokeless gunpowder factory will be added around Wuhu to meet the needs of the newly added production line. Fifth, at the end of 14, the new contract expired, and the order for 500,000 rifles was added.

The draft was sent back to the United States, and if there were no objections, a new contract was signed to replace the old order.

With great gratitude, Douglas left Fang Dashuai's office, and under the guidance of Yin Nuxia, he went directly to the telecommunications room. Without noticing at all, Fang Dashuai was standing on the steps, smiling, looking at his somewhat excited and unstable back.
