Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Germany, Berlin, Germany. The headquarters of the OEU is no longer in Berlin, but in Hamburg.

In a small screening room, more than a dozen Chinese and Germans were quietly doing the 'battle' records of the artillery fire on the screen. This is the video of the Tarzan shooting the target. There were three target ships, one of which was a 6,000-ton second-class ironclad ship, the second was a 7,000-ton armored cruiser, and the third was a 10,000-ton old battleship. British goods salvaged from Singapore by China.

The video ran for nearly an hour, and when the final session was over, enthusiastic applause rang out in the screening room.

“Sehrgut,sehrgut！” German Admiralty, Alfred Murphy. Feng. Tirpitz clapped his hands and expressed his heartfelt thanks to the Chinese side and the Tarzan for its outstanding performance in the documentary.

Although the Chinese only came up with this precious record after Germany announced the shipbuilding program. But at the same time, the Chinese have also revealed the possibility of technological export.

After watching the target shooting documentary, Tirpitz no longer had confidence in the all-heavy artillery battleship, and naturally, he was more urgent about the Chinese man-made technology. At the same time, he also knew that China needed Germany to share the pressure of the British Empire for them in Europe, and Germany also needed more support from the Chinese in Eastern Europe!

It is undoubtedly better to expand Germany's influence on the European continent as much as possible than overseas colonies. Because the ports of Germany were too limited, and all of them were blockaded by Britain and France. It's just that St. Petersburg has already reached a rapprochement with Moscow, and in Eastern Europe the Russians are landlords. With the great threat of the radicals of the poor parties, St. Petersburg is likely to compete with Germany for the interests of Eastern Europe. And among the countries of Eastern Europe. With the exception of Poland and independent Finland, which were very repulsive to Russians, there were also widespread Russophiles in other countries. And the strength is weak. In the previous war, these countries soon drained the last penny of their coffers for St. Petersburg. Although this is under the threat of the poor party Moscow.

Tirpitz is now more and more impressed by the layout of the Chinese. Unleashing a poor party immediately made the whole of Europe uneasy. If Ukraine and Baku are seized again, Western Europe and Central Europe will not be mentioned, and Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Northern Europe will really be greatly constrained by China.

Of course, Tirpitz does not know now, and Beijing has no good intentions towards Germany. Next Germany, facing St. Petersburg. I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain any more benefits from Northeast Europe. Because St. Petersburg not only has the support of Britain and France, but also the support of China behind it.

How could Liu Xian watch Germany develop on the European continent all the time. If Germany does not seek interests from the outside world, it is impossible for their contradictions with Britain and France to be truly intensified, and China will be unlucky.

Liu Xian gave Poland to Germany just to make Germany's war potential stronger, so that Germany could fight with Britain and France for a longer time after the outbreak of war. and after the outbreak of the war, China was able to transport supplies directly to Germany.

Liu Xian has reduced the strength of the army for two consecutive years. The Chinese Army, which was more than 5 million at the time, now has only 1.5 million troops. There are quite a few scaffolding masters among them. It is to convey China's intention of 'loving' peace to the outside world!

The negotiations lasted five days. Compared to the significance of a fully heavy artillery battleship, this speed is simply amazing. The Germans traded their own high-precision machine tools and large-caliber cannon steel recipes for their continued Tarzan manufacturing technology. Bilateral comparison, no loss.

Of course, there are dissenting voices on the Chinese navy, but in Liu Xianam's eyes, the significance of the Taishan is far from being comparable to that of a real dreadnought. The current batch of warships. It can only be said that it is a former dreadnought in the true sense, and it is estimated that it will be two years at most when the steam turbine technology matures. With the most advanced high-precision machine tools in Germany, it is very helpful for the production of steam turbines. That's when the age of dreadnoughts began!

OEU has been exploring the development of steam turbines in Europe for many years. As a result, European countries have shown their strong technological heritage with facts, and it seems that they are not worse than China's. It is no wonder that the dreadnoughts of the British in the previous life have just been launched for a year. The Germans plopped down and launched four Dreadnought-class battleships. They have the technology themselves, it's just a lack of creativity.

China's heritage is still a long way from this.

Whitehall soon received news of the secret Sino-German contacts, and Berlin had always been the focus of the John Bulls. It is impossible for a big man like Tirpitz to suddenly enter the Chinese embassy and hide it from everyone.

In the following time, the Germans' preparations for shipbuilding suddenly accelerated, and the result was obvious, the Germans must have obtained China's shipbuilding technology.

"The British Empire also needed to build its own new battleships. We don't need to be afraid of failure, because we have absolutely abundant capital to squander. No matter how big the failure is, it may be worth it in exchange for a success. ”

Commander of the British Mediterranean Fleet, John Brown. Abbasnot. Fisher said this to the Admiralty.

"The essence of war is violence, and the mediocrity in war is imbecile!" This is the father of the dreadnought, John. Abbasnot. Fisher's life credo was set decades ago. Every measure of his life was a faithful fulfillment of this maxim, and any success or failure in those measures, and the praise and condemnation he received from it, stemmed entirely from this sentence.

As the commander of the British Mediterranean Fleet, Fisher still had an important position in the British Royal Navy. And the Mediterranean Fleet is also going to face Italy, and no one can ignore Fisher's right to speak on the issue of all-heavy artillery battleships.

With the great fortune of the British Empire, it was not a problem to allocate a sum of money to build a fully heavy artillery battleship. You know, the British Empire today does not have a Boer War waiting for them. In the battle of South Africa that year, although the John Bulls also wasted a lot of effort and spent tens of millions of pounds on military spending, it was much easier than the military expenditure in the original time and space directly reached 200 million pounds, of course, the result was that the British only grabbed half of the Rand gold mine.

But everyone should not forget that in the short period of the Second Boer War in the original time and space, the British Empire was still secretly competing with Germany.

Tirpitz, who had just become Minister of the Admiralty of the German Empire, promulgated the new Naval Act, which he had organized, at a total cost of 408 million marks, which was expected to be completed in 1905, and began the process of reorganizing the German Navy. The shipbuilding program consisted of 17 battleships, 9 large and 26 small cruisers, and other small ships.

After the outbreak of the Second Boer War, the British Navy intercepted ships that came to the aid of the Boers everywhere, which deeply irritated the Germans. Then, in 1900, Tirpitz revised the Naval Law again and began a new shipbuilding program. He wanted to make the German Navy a fleet of 2 flagships, 36 battleships, 11 large and 34 small cruisers in 17 years (1900-1917). Tirpitz was ambitious and made no secret of his desire to build a fleet large enough to rival the British Royal Navy. He claimed that the purpose of building "this great navy is to make the greatest sea powers dare not challenge it, otherwise there is a danger that their superiority will be destroyed." ”

In this plane, Tirpitz came to power earlier than the original plane, and the revival of the German Navy was more powerful than in previous lives. The British now face a major challenge as well, only because of the presence of China, and both sides are more restrained. In the years after the end of the Second Boer War, the finances of the British Empire were restored. The situation now is that the British Empire can afford not to deduct £200 million from its tight finances for the war in South Africa, and although the financial pressure is not small, there is no financial constraint. In this way, naturally, the British Empire's finances could easily come up with millions of pounds to experiment with a fully reloaded artillery battleship, while ensuring the original expenditure.

Winston, then a Conservative MP. Churchill supported the Admiralty's plan to build a ship, but Churchill, who had just entered politics, was still a small shrimp, and his voice was completely drowned out by the voices of many like-minded people. With the approval of Parliament, the British also began their own new battleship program in October 1901.

In this kind of confrontation of strategic postures, the 1900 Paris Olympics were like a gust of wind.

Time has proved that Coubertin is not as obscene and shameless as Liu Xian thought, and the entire competition process of the Paris Olympics lasted for more than 190 days, which sharply made Liu Xian feel painful when he thought about it, but the organizing committee did not make small moves from it.

Liu Xian also knows that it is not easy to eliminate the Olympics. As long as there is still a serious confrontation between the East and the West, the possibility of the Olympic Games being completely annihilated is very small.

But the status of the World Games seems to have surpassed that of the Olympic Games. As long as this brand effect persists for a long time, the World Games will be able to compete with the Olympic Games, if not completely. This is already Liu Xian's fundamental purpose.

In November of that year, the Ottoman Empire held its second and final underground oil rights auction in the Middle East, which lasted for nine days and achieved a total of 17 million pounds. Ottoman and China continued to add two to five.

Oil fields and oil wells are all over the Middle East. At the same time, Egypt and Algeria, two North African countries controlled by Britain and France, also discovered oil resources one after another, and the Europeans explored their land even more, but unfortunately found nothing.

China still has not acquired land in the peninsula and the two river basins, and China's power has always been in Kuwait. By the end of 1901, there were at least 100,000 Chinese in Kuwait, far outnumbering the local Arabs. Most of them are workers and their dependents.

The five major European powers carved up most of the oil-producing areas on the peninsula and in the two river basins, with Britain and France taking the lion's share in the middle. So Liu Xian was very happy to see that Italy was moving closer to Austria, and at the same time, the spaghetti dried up the blood splashed on his body because of Abyssinia, and pointed the finger at Libya in North Africa!
