"Looks like I'm still in a bit of a hurry." Qin Yu pinched Ding Cheng's telegram from Germany and sighed.

"Germany is newly defeated, even if several high-ranking military leaders are unwilling, they will not make too big moves at this time, and it is already good to be able to buy and sell enough ordnance and machinery from Europe." Lan Tianwei said with a smile, "Cooperation with Germany in military technology cannot be negotiated now, and there will still be opportunities in the future." ”

"It makes sense, there is a saying about what, hard-working people, the sky is not worth it, lying on the salary and tasting the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu. As long as we persevere, when Germany has passed this hurdle, we will be able to achieve our goal. ”

Qin Yu smiled when he heard this, and it was also reasonable, but it was no wonder that he was in this matter, cooperation with Germany in the military field was too important for the future development of Northeast China. At this time, it seems that the industry in the Northeast has reached a certain scale, but this is only relative. There is still a considerable gap compared to the great powers. If we can absorb the accumulation of Germany over the past tens of years, it will achieve leapfrog development for the entire Northeast. In the face of such a temptation, it is normal for Qin Yu to be a little overwhelmed.

"Although Germany was defeated, its heritage is not comparable to the Northeast, even if it supports a large war of millions of troops, in addition to meeting the supply of the front, there are still Mauser 98 rifles produced in the rear close to 500,000 rifles, ready to be used on the battlefield at any time. More than 2,000 artillery pieces and hundreds of thousands of shells of various types were newly produced from the army and arsenals. There are countless bullets. Even there are hundreds of tanks and combat vehicles, and this is not counting the seventy or eighty percent of the new munitions that the front-line army has withdrawn, or the commander has the foresight to preemptively attack this batch of munitions, otherwise the powers and others will react. Not to mention the twists and turns in the arms trade, I am afraid that prices will continue to rise. With this batch of munitions, there is no problem for the northeast to sweep through the pass. Lan Tianwei smacked his tongue.

"Well, two or three of those big cats and kittens in the customs can't become the climate, but if the great powers interfere in the reunification of the Republic of China, it's another matter." Qin Yu shook his head and smiled. "Even if this batch of arms is bought and sold, it will not be equipped for the time being. Although the Northeast has made some small fortunes in recent years, it can not support such a large-scale expansion for the time being while satisfying the infrastructure construction, which is a disaster for the Northeast's finances. ”

"The intention of the General Staff is to build several arsenals in the areas of Mukden, Harbin, and Manchuria, and to accumulate ordnance after replacing the Northeast Army with all-German armaments. In case of future war. Lan Tianwei nodded, no country can afford to expand the army unscrupulously, if it can't raise an army, no one else will fight, an army with a shortage of food and little time can't be counted on, the green battalion of the late Qing Dynasty, the patrol of the old army is like this.

"Well, the front-line station has been converted into an arsenal. Arms are the decisive reliance on the battlefield, but in cold clothing. In other respects, the General Staff should solicit more opinions on the trial of soldiers. It is an insult to a soldier that he cannot die on the battlefield and fall under hunger and cold. Qin Yu said, even if the Northeast can't consume the batch of arms bought from Germany at this time, it is only in the arsenal. It is also a great deterrent. When the strength of the Northeast is sufficient in the future, the army can be pulled up at any time. After the end of World War I, there were nearly two decades of peace, during which the development of aircraft and tanks was enormous, but the change in individual weapons was not a leap forward. Mauser Ninety-Eight and Maxim were still used in World War II in large quantities.

"Dashuai, there is an envoy outside who claims to be the king of Joseon and asks to see him." Qin Yu and Lan Tianwei talked about the results of Ding Cheng's trip to Europe. The guard outside knocked on the door.

"Li Xi's people?" Qin Yu and Lan Tianwei were stunned at the same time.

"Marshal, I'll go to the staff headquarters to deal with affairs first." Lan Tianwei said when she heard this.

"No need, let's meet this Li Xi's envoy together. It is a dereliction of duty for you to know all the military affairs in the Northeast as the chief of staff. Qin Yu knew that Lan Tianwei wanted to avoid suspicion. Stretched out his hand to stop him.

Lan Tianwei felt a warm heart when she heard this, even if Qin Yu reached such a high position, he was still open, at least so far, Qin Yu's actions were based on the interests of the Northeast. Lan Tianwei knew that Qin Yu had a huge asset that was unimaginable to ordinary people. But it all started with Taonan wool spinning. Even if Huaxing Bank has played a huge role in the rise of the Northeast economy, it is very clear with the government's financial details. As a person whose status is second only to Qin Yu in the Northeast Army, he is very clear about the comprehensive strength of the Northeast, including the economic strength of the Northeast.

"Li Yin has seen His Excellency the Patrol Envoy, His Excellency the Chief of Staff." The middle-aged man dressed in Korean national costume saluted Qin Yu respectfully and said.

"No need to be so polite, greet your king on my behalf and the Chief of Staff. I wonder why you came here on behalf of the king? Qin Yu asked in an unhurried tone, although that Li Xigui was the king of Joseon, he was just a puppet in the hands of the Japanese, and there was no need to show too much.

"Your Excellency, I have come on behalf of the King to seek the help of Your Excellency." Li Yin gave Qin Yu another big salute, "Please also make a tour to save our king's life for the sake of Korea as a former vassal state of your country!" ”

"The Japanese want to assassinate the king of your country?" Qin Yu and Lan Tianwei were taken aback at the same time.

"Yes, the Japanese harbored evil intentions, and since the forcible occupation of Korea, they have regarded our Korean royal family as slaves, not only to separate South Korea, but even more chilling is that our royal family already has two princes, and the prince was poisoned because of his hostility to Japan. Japan forcibly married my princess to those arrogant soldiers. From the eyes of these Japanese, we don't feel the slightest respect, we are just slaves to the country. Speaking of this, Li Yin's face was full of resentment, "I hate that my Korean national strength is weak, and it is not enough to be an enemy of Japan, even so, the king is still secretly contacting anti-Japanese forces, in order to fight with Japan to the end." Your country also has a deep blood feud with Japan, so the king has sent me to ask for a parade so that your Excellency can join the king in sending troops against evil Japan. ”

"I'm just a patrol envoy of the Republic of China, this kind of thing is too involved, you should be the president who went to Beijing to find us." Qin Yu shook his head and said.

"Your Excellency, you have the most powerful army in your country, and you have defeated hundreds of thousands of Russian troops on the Middle East Road. Such a powerful force is enough to fight Japan, and if there is a choice, Korea would rather be your vassal than live in the shadow of the Japanese. Li Yin heard that Qin Yu had no intention of sending troops, so he was in a hurry at the moment. (To be continued......)
