"Young man, don't be too confident, the empire's combat power and determination are not something you can see clearly, what you get now may not be what you can have, don't cry when the time comes!"

After talking to Smith, the half-old man beside him who was not dead or alive suddenly came to such a sentence, which ruined Yang Meng's good mood at once.

"Old things, don't be too confident, England has things in Asia that cannot be lost, and it is not easy to get them back once they are lost! If you fail in the South-East Peninsula, your queen will be crying! ”

The jewel in Victoria's crown, Yang Meng doesn't mind making it an eternal pain in England! Speaking of threats, this half-old man's lethality is still far from it!

"Rampant young man, I hope you can always be so confident!"

Yang Meng's words obviously also touched the sensitive nerves of the half-old man, and he clenched his fists, and this old thing gritted his teeth and said this.

"Stupid old thing, I hope your foreign mercenaries will be as loyal to the empire as you are!"

As soon as Yang Meng said this, the old thing's face immediately changed, foreign mercenaries, except for Indian soldiers, are the elite mountain warriors of Kharko, no matter which of the two rebels, it will be devastating to the overall situation of India.

"Humph......"

With a cold snort, the half-old man stubbornly walked out of the Lixiang Garden.

"Taichen, inform Wei Huozi on the Tibetan side, and when there is a move on the Indian side, let him try Kharko! If it does, let them hide there, and when it comes to the critical moment, do what they are told! ”

The king of the mountain mercenaries. Kharko. How could Yang Meng not know the way. These people recognize money but not people, and coupled with the vassal relationship with the Qing Dynasty, it is relatively easy to rebel.

The Karkor mercenaries are also the vanguard of the British suppression of India, if the Kharkor rebels, plus some Ah San, and slaughter the English in India in one fell swoop, it should not be a big problem, if there is such a massacre. England doesn't have to be busy with anything else, crying and retaliating at the same time, Yang Meng can imagine.

The half-old man just now was either a high-ranking member of the East India Company or a high-ranking member of the English government, and once he put pressure on the Kharkoor or the Indian soldiers, the chances of winning the Nawei camel were higher.

"Third Master, the English harbor evil intentions, and their warships ......"

In Ding Taichen's heart. This English is not a trustworthy thing, and the Yang family does business with the East India Company. They have been cheated many times, but I am afraid that this time the sale of warships will not be any better.

"It doesn't matter! What we have to do is to let Yunyan wreak havoc in England, even if the warship is not good, it is better to dismantle the fire than to leave Yunyan in our own hands!

In the past two days, let the shipyard step up a bit, do their best to start with the most dilapidated and oldest, and let them go to the iron factory in Guangzhou, open a secret factory, and produce shells and breech cannons on the spot.

During this time, there are many people in Guangzhou, as long as anyone approaches our forbidden area, don't care who he is, what status, just do it! ”

The shipyard is a secret place, dozens of miles around the shipyard, all the Yang family's manpower, the wharf on the river is also layer by layer of fortification, there are countless mines in the water, there is no guidance, it is not easy to enter the Guangzhou shipyard.

Today's Yang Meng has become the focus of the East India Company, and the affairs of the Guangzhou Shipyard cannot be known to the East India Company during this time, and Yang Meng's behavior is also limited to Lixiang Garden.

It doesn't matter whether the shipyard patrols or not, shipbuilding is a long-term thing, Yang Meng is not in a hurry, more than ten days of hard work, in addition to accompanying Lian'er, and then look at the Yang family's overseas business, the current business, in addition to tea and porcelain, the Qing Dynasty is a raw material production area, many things still have room for expansion, but at this time, the military is the first priority, expand business, at least wait for the southern Xinjiang to stabilize and then talk.

Colt, who went to Europe, also arrived in Guangzhou, and this time, Colt did not take a passing merchant ship, but took a fleet of more than a dozen ships, the Prussian fleet.

The first meeting between the two was in Lixiangyuan, where the thirty-five or sixteen-year-old Colt was in the prime of life when he saw his big benefactor, General Yang, a leader in the military industry of Millican, and was obviously stunned for a moment.

"What? Mr. Colt, am I not what you think I am? ”

Smiling slightly, Yang Meng opened his mouth first, age is his big advantage, but sometimes, it is inevitable to give people the illusion that he is hairless and does not do things well.

"Oh...... General Yang, in my imagination, you are an old man with high morality, but I didn't expect to be so young. ”

Yang Meng's age is also the most easily ignored issue, with Wei Wu, this old traitor also regards Yang Meng as a peer, with Renlei and Howard, these two people's attitude towards Yang Meng is mostly looking up, so Yang Meng's age has also become a mystery that can be seen and intangible.

"Huh...... What was the outcome of this trip to Europe? ”

The age or anything is a digression, and 100,000 Dressai is what Yang Meng wants the most.

"Perfect! Thanks to General Yang's clouds, otherwise I would not have been able to pry open the door of Prussia, five thousand Dressers are already on the ship, and there are three ships of Prussian decommissioned ordnance, I don't know if General Yang is satisfied with this result? ”

The decommissioned ordnance of Mifune is not the point, the focus is on five thousand Dressers, such a number, some are too little!

"The number of Dressers is too small, five thousand, a twenty-fold difference!"

What to say, Yang Meng clearly expressed his dissatisfaction, although Yunnan has been able to produce its own modified Dressel, but to equip the army, the output is still far from enough.

"General Yang, this is also helpless! Prussia's stockpile of Dreisers was only a few tens of thousands, and the number of 100,000 was probably impossible in the short term.

But ......"

As a businessman, Colt also knows how to fish, and as soon as he heard this, Yang Meng knew that there was a way.

"But Yunyan?"

As long as the conditions are sufficient and the benefits are large enough, there is nothing that cannot be sold. I'm afraid the military of Prussia. It's about the same as Millikan. I fell in love with Yunyan, a military material.

"Not bad! The Prussians were strict, and although they could not supply the ordnance in service in large quantities, they could still provide drawings if the price was right.

However, there are conditions that these drawings can only be used by the Qing Dynasty and must not be transmitted to other countries. As soon as Prussian ordnance appeared in other countries, this cooperation ceased. ”

Prussia's target was in Europe, and although many military techniques had to be kept secret, the military did not have the financial resources to buy large quantities of cloud smoke.

Similarly, it is impossible to provide Yang Meng with ordnance in large quantities, and the expansion of the army is also the top priority of Prussia, and the decommissioned ordnance is better to say, the ordnance in active service. A few thousand, a few hundred, is already the limit.

"Yes! But they must ensure that the drawings are advanced. If you fool me with some outdated drawings, then ......"

"No, it won't! I've brought someone over this time, and he'll negotiate with you. ”

Since Prussia could not supply Dleiser in large quantities, Yang Meng also extinguished this idea, thinking about it, if it were him, he would not export a large number of active weapons.

"How's it going on over there?"

"It's not bad, the Prussians promised to buy my patents, but alas, they were not willing to import my products."

"This is nothing, presumably the structure of Dresser, you already know it, you can continue to expand in Millican, since Prussia can't supply, then change your Colt Arsenal."

Large-scale industrial capacity is still a shortcoming of Yunnan, and without Prussia as a supplier, Yang Meng can only put his idea on Colt.

"General Yang, what do you need for so many firearms?"

This is also a piece of Colt's heart, this General Yang of the Qing Kingdom has taken too many ordnance from his side, these things are enough to equip tens of thousands of troops, plus the Renlei who is wandering in the military, hundreds of thousands of troops, this General Yang can definitely be easily equipped.

"Protect the interests of Yunyan! During this time, I will go to war with England in the Southeast Peninsula, and the ordnance is what I must equip in large quantities. ”

The matter has been put on the bright side, for the situation in the southeast peninsula, Yang Meng did not hide it, although the current opponents of England are mainly the countries on the southeast peninsula, but the Blue Flag Army to participate in the war, it is only a matter of time.

"Red Shirts? Then General Yang should be careful, the English navy is the largest navy in the world, and the equally disciplined redshirt army is also one of the most elite armies in the world! ”

Yang Meng talked about going to war with England, and Colt was also nervous, the Red Shirts were powerful, Millican and France knew best, the Red Shirts were definitely one of the strongest armies in the world.

"Mercenaries and Indian soldiers! I've already fought a battle with England, and the Keno Expeditionary Force is nothing more than that! ”

"General Yang, there are many generals in England who can command a large army of more than 100,000 people to fight, you better be careful!"

Colt's reminder is also very useful for Yang Meng, a large army fights, and he really has no experience.

"I'll be careful, what kind of cargo are you bringing with the fleet this time?"

"Most of them are munitions-making machinery, and these should be the things you desperately need! Many machinery manufacturers in Europe are in this fleet, if you still need it, you can continue to place orders for them! ”

As a partner, Colt understands Yang Meng's needs very well, a large number of machinery is undoubtedly a better cargo than 100,000 Dressel, hearing this, Yang Meng's brows slowly relaxed.

"Huh...... You're back this time, and I'd like to discuss the issue of equity with you. ”

Colt Arsenal, Yang Meng accounted for seventy or eighty percent of the shares, it's okay now, and this is also a big problem in the future, a country's military industry, it is impossible for foreigners to control, and it is a good thing to distinguish the equity as soon as possible, whether it is for Yang Meng or Colt.

"General Yang, do you want to inject capital again?"

The arsenal built by himself, but the control is not in his own hands, Colt also has an opinion on this, as soon as he heard that Yang Meng wanted to divide the equity, Colt's first thought was that this General Yang was going to squeeze himself out again.

"Hmmm! It is to inject capital, and to inject capital on a large scale, the equity of the Colt Arsenal should be in your hands, after all, to the Milican government, I am an outsider! ”

As soon as Yang Meng said this, it was Colt's turn to be confused, how much his assets were, Colt couldn't be clearer, compared with the investment of millions of dollars, his assets were dwarfed.

"I don't understand!"

"Let's put it this way! Colt Arsenal, 70% of the equity is given to you, I only need 20% of the equity, and the remaining 10% is given to Howard, do you think this result is okay? ”

"That's a huge loss for you! I still don't get it! ”

Such an equity division model is equivalent to General Yang directly giving up millions of dollars, which really confuses Colt.

"Equity belongs to equity, and I want to account for more than half of the profits of Colt Company! It's just a secret agreement between us, the company is yours, and all I want is profit! ”

"I see! No problem, according to the proportion of capital contribution, you still enjoy the arsenal, 80% of the profits! ”

"It doesn't take so much, about fifty percent, it's enough, after all, Colt was established by you, I hope our secret agreement can be effective for a long time!"

"Of course it's no problem, whether it's me or my descendants, we will strictly abide by this agreement, after all, you opened the way for the arsenal!"

"I hope so!"

The world is impermanent, and I don't know what his final fate will be, there are some things, Yang Meng still has to keep a hand. (To be continued......)
