Chapter 377: The Army's Needs

Working together, Yang Meng's goal has been achieved, and it is Yang Meng's goal to avoid fighting with England on the coastline, once the British fleet opens fire on the sea, Yang Meng will not defend the sea frontier in a short time, and he does not have this ability now.

The next thing is simple, drag England into the quagmire of war in the southeast peninsula, as long as the scale of the war is enough, as I say, enough blood has been shed and enough people have died, and England will not be able to fight again in a short time.

At that time, it should be his home field, looking at the hateful Yahi Bone, Yang Meng smiled in his heart.

It was also an insult to Ashburn to join hands with a merchant, and although no treaty had been signed, Ashburn understood that England had been coerced this time, and the southeast peninsula was still a hot potato.

Take, there are countless casualties, I am afraid that the French will take the opportunity to march into Annam, Annam's position is very delicate, and now giving this place to the French will not benefit the empire at all.

No, this General Yang is still stirring up the wind and rain inside, although Myanmar was defeated in the previous war, but the defeat was not too bad, there is still the strength of a war, General Yang mentioned several times Kharko, it is also a heart disease of Yahiborn, even if India is a pearl, it is also a weakness.

The strength of this General Yang is also unknown, twenty or thirty thousand or hundreds of thousands, this number is very critical, if he only has twenty or thirty thousand soldiers, he can fight! If it is a hundred thousand, then the empire will be subject to clouds and smoke for a long time.

Although this battle was a victory, in the eyes of Ashiborne, it was a real defeat. The sun never sets on the empire. Coerced by an indigenous pig. Disgrace!

Looking at the two people with a miserable smile on their faces, the French envoy Andre curled the corners of his mouth, this game, France is undoubtedly the winner, just open his mouth, there is an Annan strategy, if it is really as this General Yang said, he can provide countless resources and a huge market if he occupies Annan. That's undoubtedly a big profit.

Through this game, Andre also saw the weakness of the empire on which the sun never sets, and thought that the British Asian colonies were as solid as gold, but he didn't expect that it was a foreign power, and he took India by occupying Annan, which was slowly taking shape in Andrei's mind.

England is afraid of war, this somewhat incredible thing happened, and it also verified the strength of this General Yang from the side, this ambitious General Yang is more worthy of vigilance than England.

As long as this General Yang has mastered the recipe of Yunyan. He will become stronger and stronger, and he will most likely become an enemy of France in the future.

The three of them said that they had their own calculations in their hearts. But the things on the face were still done properly, shaking hands, smiling, clinking glasses, and the atmosphere of the scene was happy.

The businessmen present are not all political idiots, there are a few shrewd people who have put Yang Meng in a very high position, and the English Ashiburn and the French AndrΓ© are not unknown to anyone, what they do, and a few people are clear.

In Yang Meng's heart, these can only be regarded as making amends, he, Ahiborne, Andre, the three of them all look at the overall situation, as long as the overall situation is under their own control, other things don't matter.

The dinner time was not long, only two hours, and Yang Meng was still standing at the door, bidding farewell to the rake who had given him money.

For two hours, standing motionless, the eyes of Ashiburn and Andre, almost every once in a while, were about to sweep the courtyard, no matter what the combat strength was, this soldier of General Yang was definitely well-trained.

After the three main owners of the dinner said goodbye with their own thoughts, this time the turmoil of cloud and tobacco price hikes can be regarded as a smooth and steady pass.

"I was a little angry, I made a lot of money in vain, and I made a living! Taichen, arrange that Prussian envoy tomorrow, I hope this one can make us a lot of money again! ”

In this game, Yang Meng's biggest gain is not gold and silver, nor the sales of cloud smoke, but the cooperative relationship reached with France.

The road map of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway is in Yang Meng's heart, as long as Annan is sold, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway will be stable, and taking this opportunity to learn to build a railway is the biggest harvest in the future.

As long as the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway can be built, the rest of the four provinces will also work! In addition to the ironclad ship is the railway, the ironclad ship guards the sea frontier, and the railway connects all places, as long as there are these two things, great things can be done.

"Third master, if you have time, tell me about today's negotiations! I got it done quietly, and it seems that I have a lot of differences! ”

At a dinner party, Ding Taichen's eyes also fell on the third master, but the third master just said a few words and finished the matter, and this Ding Taichen saw him for the first time.

"These? It's all the leftover things that the ancestors played, just be flexible, you have a lot of things in your stomach, but you just won't use it!

Look at the time! When the matter of Prussia is decided, I will tell you about it. ”

The negotiation is just an appearance, and what can give me the confidence to negotiate with Britain and France is the geographical location of Yunnan, and the other is that the two countries do not know their own strength.

The next battle of the Southeast Peninsula is very critical, Yang Meng must show his strength in a short period of time, and the reason for being safe is simpler.

There was no threat from the sea for a short time, Yang Meng was in a good mood, and he really rewarded Wei Zhiqing once that night.

The next day, the Prussian envoy came as promised, this is the tallest and strongest foreign devil Yang Meng has ever seen, at least 1.9 meters tall, ordinary calf-thick arms, resolute expression, rare this muscular goods, and a good brain, no need to ask this eighty percent of the Prussian military.

"Hello, I'm Detrich!"

The Prussian envoy named De Trich, who spoke a somewhat awkward eagle language, was very open, not only did he report his name, but his attitude was also very humble.

"Yunnan Yang Meng, some people call me General Yang, some people call me Lord Yang, you can choose whatever you want."

Detrich's humility is also hypocritical in Yang Meng's view, and Europeans boast that they are among the superior people. Mostly Europeans. It's looking down on yellow-skinned and dark-haired Asians. The people from which Detrich was born are almost the same, humble, and superficial!

Now nodding his head and turning around, it is not uncommon for Prussia to have its own needs, which has little to do with whether De Trich's attitude is humble or not, the interests are already very clear. Humility is just ecstasy.

"General Yang, I am here to represent the Prussian military this time, and I hope to reach some private agreement with General Yang on the issue of Yunyan."

Like Millican, Prussia also discovered the wonderful use of clouds and smoke in military affairs, but Prussia went much further than Millican, and some of their research was the reason for Detriich's trip.

Unlike Anglo-French-Miri, the German Confederation, where Prussia is located, had wars in these years, and the ongoing Schlesvian War. However, in the serious war between countries, the German Confederation led by Austria went to war with Denmark. War is one of the best tools of inspection, and in the Schlesvian War, the Prussians were the first to discover the magic of cloud smoke.

After smoking a large amount of cloud smoke, many cowardly soldiers have become a little fearless to death, and they can also show what they usually train after smoking cloud smoke without any scruples.

After a small-scale actual combat test, the Prussian military also found some chemists to study Yunyan, but Yang Meng added something else to Yunyan, and it was impossible to analyze the composition of Yunyan with the current means.

Although it is impossible to find the main ingredient of cloud smoke, the Prussian chemists did not give it in vain, and they concluded that cloud smoke is diluted, and the effect may be better if the active ingredient is added!

"A private agreement? What do you mean? ”

De Trich understood what he wanted, but Yang Meng didn't understand, the sale of cloud tobacco, in addition to some restrictions on England, businessmen from other countries basically want to give as much as they want, and there is no need for private agreements!

"The concentration of the active ingredient of cloud smoke!"

Answering Yang Meng's question simply and directly, De Terich's blue eyes stared at Yang Meng.

"Oh...... Not bad! It's not impossible to increase the concentration, but ......"

As soon as Detrich said this, Yang Meng also understood, Prussian chemists are good! I added some other ingredients to the cloud smoke, and through the normal chemical test, I couldn't find the conch cause, and it was absolutely commendable to be able to calculate that the main ingredients were diluted.

"General Yang can put forward conditions, and if we can accept it, then the secret agreement between us will be considered to be reached."

Detrich's words, although they were tactful, Yang Meng saw in his eyes that they were not tactful, but determined to win.

"It's not about the conditions, but the harm after increasing the concentration I don't know, cloud smoke is the same as tobacco, it has a certain degree of addiction, increasing the concentration, not only the addiction increases, but also has the potential to die!"

Yang Meng's words are nonsense, Yunyan, which is mainly talcum powder and tea powder, compared with the products of later generations, the current concentration is not worth mentioning at all, between three percent and five percent, which can only be regarded as garbage in the eyes of addicts, but it is enough now.

The concentration of 30 to 40 percent is the best quality; About 20 percent, which is considered a large road cargo; Less than 10% of the goods are junk goods; Increasing the concentration is very simple for Yang Meng, but it is not beneficial for the sales of cloud smoke.

The lower the concentration, the less harmful and the smaller the side effects, the higher the concentration for a month or two, it can make people become shapely, and most people can't adapt to high concentration products, and it is easy to die.

"Isn't it okay to increase it one or two times?"

Detrich is a soldier, he doesn't care about what is harmed, all he can see is a soldier who is not afraid of death.

"One or two times? You can try, what do you want to pay for? ”

As soon as he heard this, Yang Meng also sighed secretly, he regarded Detrich as a previous buyer, and directly thought of the best goods, but he didn't expect this person's requirements to be so low, one to two times, just a piece of cake.

Misunderstanding! Secretly pinched himself, he had been thinking too much recently, and his thinking was a little confused, but fortunately he didn't speak, otherwise as soon as thirty or forty percent of the best goods came out, the path of Yunyan would be narrow.

"I brought five ships of goods, three ships as gifts, and two ships in exchange for high-concentration cloud smoke, I don't know if it will work?"

This is not a small hand, because in the midst of the war, the German Confederation has the most decommissioned ordnance, and the war is the best thruster, and many impractical firearms will be eliminated in large quantities in the war, and it is impossible for them to come up with so many decommissioned weapons at once.

"Your sincerity, I have seen it, and I will not let you suffer, the goods of the five ships, the ordinary cloud smoke I gave you the equivalent value, ten tons of cloud smoke with three times the concentration, is the goods we trade, it just takes time, about two months!

Of course, I'll try to speed it up! ”

Yang Meng's generosity not only surprised De Trich, but Ding Taichen on the side also opened his mouth wide, ten tons! Thrown in vain!

But Yang Meng didn't think so, it was difficult for Prussia to keep it secret, as long as it was used in large quantities during the war, at most half a year, this kind of high-concentration cloud smoke should almost be exposed.

Coupled with the round-trip itinerary and the time of the experiment, Yang Meng still has almost a whole year, and the military of various countries will earn this kind of goods at that time.

Ordinary clouds and smoke make money, high concentration for ordnance, this way is good, De Trich is undoubtedly a lucky star, the military resources of five ships, for Yang Meng, it is also a large batch of goods, plus the clouds and smoke distinguished by concentration, he Yang Meng is the biggest winner.
