Xue Fucheng immediately fell into contemplation, although this work is really not based on international practice, but similar things are really not rare in the imperial court, it is nothing more than the old tricks such as stealing beams and changing pillars, and the Chinese have been playing for thousands of years.

The key is that this guy's offer is too high, so people can't refuse at all, the six-inch Armstrong rapid-fire gun is the most advanced naval gun now, and it will be twenty guns in vain at once, which is enough to replace all the similar cannons of the Beiyang Naval Division, not to mention that there are so many shells, and the Beiyang Naval Division is nothing more than signing a name, of course, the imperial court may still be a little verbose, but the envoys on the European side are all Beiyang people, as long as they don't say that the pillars of the temples in China will not know the Tao, Maybe they don't even know where Sweden is.

"The stakes are high, and the official needs to ask the court to make a decision again." Old Xue said in an official tone.

Yang Feng laughed, knowing that this thing is done, Li Hongzhang is not a fool, how can he let go of the beautiful thing of pie in the sky?

However, what model should be chosen for this cruiser, this needs to be seriously considered, speaking of which, he most hopes to let Armstrong Shipyard copy the Marauder for himself, and then let the beautiful avatar be responsible for manufacturing the power system, but that is too cheap for the British, how many advanced design concepts are not given to them in vain, and when the time comes, maintenance, especially secrecy, is very troublesome, so he still decided to get a normal level.

Back in his own estate, this cargo began to filter the most famous cruisers of this era in his mind one by one, and soon a name appeared, the cruiser Blanco Enkarada, which Li Ergui wanted to buy during the Sino-Japanese War, but did not sell it, that is, Yoshino's big brother.

With a displacement of 4,500 tons, a speed of 22.8 knots, two 203 mm guns, ten 152 mm secondary guns, and even five torpedo tubes, all but a little slower were enough to crush Yoshino.

"It's good, it's just that the cruiser doesn't seem to be very strong at this time, for example, Yoshino sank after a collision." This point makes Boss Yang very entangled, he has always regarded his safety as more important than anything else.

However, he was soon relieved, he didn't want to go to the battlefield in person to buy a warship, it was a mercenary who would go desperately when the time came, so why did he have so much leisure?

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Eric is here." His butler, Franz, came over and interrupted the cargo's thoughts.

When he was in Sweden, the vampire couldn't wait to send eight telegrams a day to urge him to come back, and now that he is really back, he naturally has to come to the door, but this time it is not the fool who is sick, but a friend of the fool is sick, and this friend is still a woman, it is not a serious illness, just ordinary pneumonia, it is estimated that he does not even need penicillin, just take a piece of cephalosporin.

Doctor Yang took Catherine, rode his pumpkin carriage, and followed the vampire to the small manor, and the fool greeted him with a smile, this guy is with the help of Yang Feng's two major artifacts, and it is estimated that he has had a lot of fun during this time, which can be seen from the consumption of the set, so looking at Yang Feng's eyes now is like looking at relatives.

"Eddie, I'll show you something good in a moment, my latest invention, which is now in production in Sweden." The two walked and talked as they walked into the small building in a very Gothic style.

"Who is this young lady?" Boss Yang had an exaggerated and amazed expression, looking at his patient this time, this is a girl less than twenty years old, although in terms of aesthetic concepts, in his opinion, it is not as good as Catherine who is developing around him, but the kind of beauty created by the pampered life is incomparable to Catherine, who grew up in the slums.

The girl raised her hand reservedly and proudly, gave Yang Feng the right to kiss, and then looked at him with some curiosity, to know that in Europe at this time, the Chinese are still relatively mysterious, and although Yang Daboss is older, he is still a little lethal to the girl, it is obvious that this girl has a good impression of him, although in the subsequent conversation, he still maintains that innate pride, but after Yang Feng casually told a few jokes about the rotten streets of the later life, the fool's cousin Alice smiled brightly.

Especially after knowing that he was still the owner of JY Company, Alice's surprise was overflowing, although it has only been open for a few months, this small building with two red lanterns hanging in front of the door has become a mecca for British upper-class women.

As for her illness, it is very simple, a little pneumonia, it is estimated that the fool is also for his hospitality, otherwise this little illness does not need Doctor Yang to take action, half a cephalosporin is taken, Yang Feng is still showing off her new invention to the fool, she has already begun to reduce her fever.

"Take this half pill in two hours, get some sleep, and you'll be completely healthy tomorrow." Doctor Yang took her temperature again and said, then threw the foolish Browning to him and said, "Eddie, this gun is given to you, tomorrow you have someone go to me and get a few boxes of bullets."

This pistol is already a mature model, after several key components are replaced with beautiful women's avatars, the jamming rate has plummeted to a lower level than the original, Yang Feng asked Bofors to make a luxury version for him alone, the handle of the gun is pasted with ivory, the shell is gilded, and at the same time engraved with exquisite patterns, he is ready to sell it as a luxury product in London, I believe that this novelty The old British pirates will like it very much.

After dealing with this, he took his leave and left, and only when he went out did he ask the vampire who saw him off: "Eric, do you have any friends at the Armstrong shipyard, I have a small shipyard in Sweden, and I would like to visit them to supplement my knowledge, and of course you know that if I go by myself, they may not necessarily let me visit."

"No problem, I'll arrange it for you." The vampire shrugged his shoulders and said very lightly.

What Yang Feng didn't expect was that this guy's energy was indeed not small, and early the next morning, a staff member of the Armstrong shipyard's London office came to visit his manor, and after learning that Yang Feng happened to have time, he warmly invited him to Newcastle to visit the largest British warship manufacturing base there.

Boss Yang naturally accepted the invitation very happily, and then the two of them went directly to sea on his private yacht, and the power system of the black arrow along the way amazed the engineer named Richard, especially after the two small and exquisite diesel engines in Zhilu Dao were able to provide more than a thousand horsepower, and the mouth was so shocked that he couldn't close it.

"In fact, so far, it is almost impossible to mass-produce this diesel engine, because it uses a lot of expensive materials, to put it bluntly, this is the use of a real mass-produced machine that demonstrates the technical strength of Young's power system, even if the power can be reached, then the volume will be much larger, and it is far less mature than the steam engine." Yang Feng hurriedly said.

The sea route from London to Newcastle is not hundreds of kilometers, and the 25-section high-speed yacht only took a dozen hours to arrive, and it was already late at night, and the Armstrong shipyard arranged a place for him to stay, and after sleeping all night, he went to the shipyard early the next morning, accompanied by Richard.

This is not only the largest warship manufacturing base in the United Kingdom, but also in the world, manufacturing almost half of the capital ships of both sides in the First Sino-Japanese War, including Zhiyuan, Jingyuan, Yoshino, and Naniwa.

However, Yang Feng can only describe the warships on the slipway here, after all, he is used to seeing modern warships, and it is difficult to have any good impression of those strange-looking monsters in this era, just those lonely masts make him speechless, of course, he still praises these warships so much that they are about to catch up with the space warships, and Richard is full of the glory of the British Empire.

The two were talking as they walked, and they almost collided with an oncoming person.

"Hello, Mr. Parsons." Richard said hello casually, the other party took off his hat and bowed his head slightly, then looked at Yang Feng with a slightly strange gaze, and then hurriedly left.

"Parsons, may I ask if you are the same Mr. Parsons who invented the steam turbine?" Yang Feng suddenly stopped him and asked.

"Contemptible exactly, sir, who are you?" Parsons stopped and looked at Yang Feng suspiciously.

"Let me introduce myself, contemptible Yang Feng, general manager of JY Company, president of People's Publishing House, general manager of General Electric Company, chairman of Young's Power Systems Company in Sweden, and chairman of Bofors Steel Company." In Parsons's stunned gaze, Boss Yang said his stinky and long title just like a medieval nobleman said his title.

But speaking of his titles are now even louder than the titles of some nobles, JY needless to say, now almost everyone in the UK is known, Yang Feng even pirated the name of General Electric, with tungsten light bulbs have also completely expelled Edison's bamboo charcoal bulb out of the British market, has now spread to the European continent, it is estimated that at most half a year Edison Electric Light Company will have to withdraw from the European market.

As for the People's Publishing House, Yang's Power System Company, it is also in the limelight, and even Bofors is also a century-old brand, so many companies are added to one person, but it is much more dazzling than those nobles who are becoming less and less valuable.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Yang!" Parsons kindly stretched out his hand and said that he was now just a small factory owner in Newcastle, and he had just sold his first set of steam turbines, to put it bluntly, he was barely making ends meet, and he couldn't compare with a predator-level industrial giant like Yang Feng, and I was afraid that a carriage of Boss Yang would be worth more than his factory.

He didn't know how to do it, and it wouldn't be long before he would regret his move.

"It's an honor, ah, why don't we sit down together and find a place to have a drink?" Yang Feng said with a smile, since the prey has appeared, it is natural that it cannot be let go.
