Both the Chinese Republic and the German Empire were quite precise in their grasp of the policies and attitudes of both sides, and although some of the words could not be explained, there was no misunderstanding between the two sides. When Xu Jie turned over his hole cards, the German government's attitude towards China also underwent a major change, and the two sides found that the two countries at opposite ends of the Eurasian continent finally had a common goal for a long time.

Churchill once said that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, and at this time, there are common interests, and as two great powers, cooperation between them will become an inevitability, this is not a handout from one side to the other, nor is it the oppression of one side by the other under the guise of cooperation. In a sense, the two sides are almost equal cooperation. China needed the advanced technology and financial support of the German Empire, while Germany needed to use the hand of the Chinese Republic to strike at Russia fiercely, and it also needed China to provide it with all kinds of resources needed for the war. If China can contain the British, it will be even more perfect, and with common ground, then the next step of negotiations will be easy.

"The Republic of China has asked us to provide about 300 million marks of industrial projects in order to help Huaxia build a relatively complete industrial system, but the issue of compensation has been repeatedly avoided and discussed, and the sincerity of this is doubtful." Looking at a document sent through private channels, Moltke said with some displeasure.

"Compensation? How do you get a nascent regime ready to go to war with a powerful country to pay for a project of hundreds of millions of marks? Now China is very poor, and about 40% of their country's budget is spent on military and military-related projects. Much of the rest is also spent on industry and education, which are absolutely unsavable, and they are now unable to repay this foreign debt with the funds at all. Maybe it's a good idea to compensate with food and minerals, but as a populous country. Especially the big countries that are preparing for war, they also need to concentrate all their material resources to prepare, especially food, if the Chinese government can't feed its people, then there will be no one in this world who can feed them. Prince Henry said disapprerovingly.

"Could it be that the money of the Empire of Moral Will was given to a country thousands of miles away? Without any guarantees, without any compensation? This is simply hard to accept! "Moltke Jr. has some anger now.

"A guy with no strategic vision, just like your father. Losing the future for a little immediate gain! Prince Henry cursed in his heart, the Germans did not let Huaxia pledge any interests, and did not put forward any excessive privileges and demands. But does this mean that Germany is not wary of Huaxia in the slightest? Apparently not! Any country will leave a hand on the so-called allies! Even in World War II, the so-called close allies were wary of each other, for example, the British did not provide the United States with all the information about the decipherment of the Enig code, and now. Naturally, two countries that are not yet allies will not leave a hand.

"General. Our investment will definitely not be unsecured, you first look at the projects we have opened for Huaxia, these projects have a long construction period, even if this plan is implemented from the middle of next year, then by the time the first phase of the project is completed, it should be around 1908, and at this time Huaxia should end the war against Russia, and the Huaxia government should pay for these projects under construction. Prime Minister von Caprivi explained.

"If Huaxia wants to break the contract at this time. All we need to do is withdraw our institutions in China and stop investing. What will be left to Huaxia will be a costly but unfinished factory. This is a huge waste of resources for them, and because of the different standards, they are also unable to resume the project with the help of other countries. And in terms of funds, the loans we give them are not directly in their hands, but in our country in exchange for products to be shipped to China, and we are not worried that they will use the money of the German Empire to do anything else. Prime Minister von Caprivi said unhurriedly.

"In the future, our actions in the Balkans are not just for China to share the pressure, we have our own plans, such as the oil fields in Romania, if we can bring Romania to its knees through deterrence, and obediently hand over the oil field exploitation rights to us, then my fuel problem will be completely solved. In the same way, if China really gained a foothold in Southeast Asia, Britain would either give up its dominance over Southeast Asia or send a considerable part of its forces to the Far East, and for the former, I don't think the British would give up, because after Malacca, it would be the most brilliant jewel in the crown of the British Empire - India. Britain has no habit of backing down. Prince Henry said.

Subsequently, after the German delegation agreed to provide funds and technology for China to improve China's industrial system, the Republic of China also agreed to share the design of some equipment with Germany. In terms of material, whether it is capital or food raw materials, it is difficult for Huaxia, which is preparing for a big war, to provide Germany with it, after all, it may not be enough on its own side, and the sufficient here does not mean only defeating the Russians, but in order to achieve its own strategic goals.

In the eyes of outsiders, Germany's efforts were not proportional to their returns, and more than 200 million marks of funds and technical support in a few years were exchanged for only some technical drawings and tactics that needed to be tested in war. But if in the long run, the Germans do not lose money, first of all, the vast majority of the Germans' funds are used to buy Germany's own products, at least so that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. Secondly, after the end of the war, Huaxia needed to repay this aid with various products. To put it bluntly, Huaxia postponed the repayment period for several years, not that it will not be replaced, although the interest is very low, but from a strategic point of view, the Germans got what they continued, and it was definitely worth the money for the Germans.

This is only a superficial account, and the exchange of funds and materials is only the basis for cooperation between China and Germany, and at a higher level, it is the cooperation and research between China and Germany in army tactics. Xu Jie had good tactics, although he may not be able to penetrate the reinforced concrete defense line and heavy artillery of the French in World War 1. But it was very effective against the outdated Russian Army, for the simple reason that it was effective. The Russians did not have the resources to build a system of reinforced concrete trenches from East Prussia in the north to the Balkans in the south. In the face of this battlefield where there are loopholes everywhere and where field warfare is the mainstay, mobile units are still very promising for rapid penetration, division and encirclement.

The idea is good though. However, the poor and weak industry of the Republic of China is simply unable to support the formation of a mobile force in Huaxia, and it is okay to assemble trucks, but to assemble tanks and self-propelled artillery or something, relying on the current industry of Huaxia, it is better to wash and sleep. Therefore, relying on German industry to develop and manufacture these mass killers has become the only option.

Although the Germans learned about the powerful lethality of mobile units through war games, they also had a trace of doubt about the combat effectiveness of such untested troops. And because of the huge cost. There was a great deal of opposition within the German government to whether or not to form such a large number of troops, and now the Germans were thinking that since someone could help them test it, it would be better to let someone else be the first to eat the crab. And they are responsible for R&D and production, and if the other side succeeds, relying on a lot of experience and design accumulated by themselves, such armored units can soon enter the combat sequence of the German Army. And if the attempt fails. There is still Huaxia to pay the bill, and there will be no loss in the slightest.

In general, in the early stage, in order to ensure victory in the war against Russia and obtain part of the colonies of the Dutch East Indies, Germany had to give a large amount of blood to the defense of China before the end of the war, and as a report, after the end of the war, China would begin to gradually repay the loans, and began to provide Germany with various raw materials and food according to the agreement. And this cooperation will only be the first phase.

to the second stage. With the improvement of China's industrial level, the two countries will continue to expand the basic form of cooperation between the two countries in the exchange of raw materials for technology. The two countries will begin to work together on a variety of technologies, not only for military projects such as warships and tanks, but also for heavy industries such as metallurgy, machine building, and electrical industry. Of course, considering the technological gap between the two sides, the real allocation of R&D projects is still dominated by Germany. But Xu Jie is not very worried, in the aviation industry that will appear in the near future, Xu Jie, as a traverser, has enough ideas.

In the third stage of cooperation, the two sides divided the interests of the entire Eurasian continent, and although there were no in-depth talks on this aspect, the two sides already tacitly understood this aspect. The start of the European war will inevitably lead to a change in the situation in the world, because after all, Europe at this time is still the core of the world, and the change of the European political map will inevitably lead to profound changes in the pattern of the world. Even the Americans themselves doubt their strength!

When the two major powers outside Europe do not participate in this dispute, after the end of this war, the situation in the entire Eurasian continent will undergo profound changes, and the Germans mean that after the fall of the first Russian government, the new Russian government will officially break away from the Anglo-French alliance, and cooperate with China to achieve the weakening of Russia. (China will not participate in the struggle for hegemony in Europe, but after the collapse of old Russia, China will definitely do something.) Russia is too big to be a huge threat to Germany and China, and maybe it's not very strong right now, it's just that he hasn't found the right direction of development. Once led by a strong government, Russia's power will skyrocket, which neither country wants to see.

In Southeast Asia, with the weakening and decadence of the British Empire, the German Empire would recognize the land and dominance of the Republic of China, while China would respect the dominance of the German Empire in the Middle East, but China would enjoy certain mining rights. Of course, the expression of the Middle East is different from the current Middle East, and Xu Jie deliberately stated that the area west of the Persian Empire was the dominant area of the German Empire. As for the Indian region, the two sides have not yet had many ideas, before the complete decline of the British Empire, this is still the reverse scale of the British Empire, Germany wants to win the end of the East and the West, and China does not want to do anything with the British, so there is no discussion for the time being.
