Starting from where others haven't started is the best way to catch up with the other person.

The gold content of the tank on the battlefield is very high, although China's current tank is an assembled goods, but as soon as it appeared, it attracted the attention of all countries in the world, Yang Xiaolin knew that his pace in this regard must be a little faster, a little tighter.

Communication facilities are completely different. The Chinese government has made great efforts to support Sheng Huaixuan's telecommunications company, and the banner is to develop the private economy, and those gentlemen really believe it.

As for the radio international communication contest that China was going to organize, they did not take it seriously at all, and British and French newspapers published the news on certain pages, and Western countries believed that this was at most a disguised political propaganda carried out by the Chinese when they could not open up the diplomatic situation, just like Sun Wen organized a group to visit a Belgian town.

In fact, for those who are really avid enthusiasts, the prize money and travel expenses are not important, the important thing is that China held this competition, and they wanted to win first place not for a prize of 50,000 pounds, but for a kind of recognition.

Western countries did not stop these people either, they simply did not realize that when communications develop to a certain extent, the war will be brought into another mode!

In order to make China's pace one step ahead of others, Yang Xiaolin not only vigorously supported the radio amateur contest and laid the foundation for technical proficiency, but also adopted some means in the allocation of troops and arms that Western countries could not understand.

At present, the Chinese army has a full regiment of 2,500 people, which is larger than the regimental-level establishment of any country in the world. Commander Yang set up two more arms, one was a reconnaissance battalion and the other was an armored battalion.

Western countries really don't understand what he means by doing this, and now the scouts of various countries are sent out temporarily. Setting up a reconnaissance battalion at the regimental level is a failure and a waste of manpower in the eyes of many military experts.

Although the tanks are very powerful, can they use one tank battalion per regiment? Besides, you Yang Dagui now only have a total of fifty armored vehicles, and even the armored division of the second pole cannot be fully equipped, what is the point of all this?

Even Germany and Austria-Hungary were very friendly to give Commander Yang a kind advice, believing that at this stage, if Yang Xiaolin wants to win the war against Russia, he should still invest his limited forces and resources in the conventional arms that have been recognized by all countries in the world.

The Chinese infantry is very powerful, and it should make him even more powerful.

Tank battalions can be set up first. Wait until you have the conditions to play, the reconnaissance battalion is really a waste. The Germans gave a very pertinent opinion, a professional scout, only one company is enough for a division.

However, Commander Yang apparently did not heed the sincere advice of the Germans, and the scouts were not only to be formed. And to choose from among the best performers in the unit. This is not enough, the scout must also have a certain cultural quality. After training, you must be proficient in the languages of at least three countries. And can skillfully operate all kinds of weapons in various countries around the world.

This condition was really a bit thunderous, not only to the gentlemen of Europe, but also to some Chinese soldiers very surprised. The traditional concept of the Chinese is that I can become a soldier if I am strong and not afraid of death, and I am a hero when I go to the battlefield and go forward bravely. Do you need to be literate as a soldier? And still want to continue learning? Who can stand this?

Therefore, Yang Xiaolin's scout plan was not only questioned by Western countries, but also by many generals in the Chinese army. If you don't understand, you don't understand, just follow the order. In the military, Yang Xiaolin never allowed democracy to emerge.

The embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane has not met for a long time. Since the British withdrew their ambassadors in China, there was really no need for the rest of the countries to meet again to discuss the Chinese issue.

Therefore, Mr. Sadaoyi's work in China in the past few years has been very good, except for the fact that he made a mess in the Sino-Russian War because of his alliance with the Russians. The British Empire is an important force that maintains the balance of interests of Western countries in China.

After the British blockade of China, all countries thought that the Chinese could not stand it, and it would not be long before the Russians could enter the city of Beijing, and then the British Empire could continue to return, and everything was still the same as before.

But the gentlemen never expected that the Chinese held on.

Not only did China win militarily, but also diplomatically, Mr. Sun Wen's efforts were rewarded. In terms of internal development, although the policies introduced by Chen Tianhua have not yet had any obvious effect, at least the situation that continues to deteriorate has been brought under control in time.

Gentlemen know very well that the time has come for the Chinese pie to be redivided.

Yuan Shikai has already said that the economy should adopt the kind of open business model that Yang Xiaolin did in the northeast, and China's infrastructure construction can be said to be just starting, and many projects need capital investment.

Of course, these investments have paid off, and this blank market is really important for the economically troubled Western countries.

Don't think that gentlemen can compete fairly, if there is really fairness in this world, there will be no competition. As soon as the Americans decided to renegotiate bilateral relations with China, the Japanese could not wait to sign a commercial agreement, while the Germans had already signed a large cooperation agreement with China.

These gentlemen know very well that competition is really bad and will give China a chance to raise prices. China's piece of the pie is so big that no one can eat it anyway, so it is better to find a way to compromise with each other to divide it, which on the one hand will bring the greatest benefit to oneself and on the other hand, it will also prevent the British from returning to China.

Under such circumstances, the ministers in Beijing finally convened a meeting of ministers that had not been held for a long time, this time at the American legation.

Mr. Conger's presiding over was evidently in the style of the original Sardor Doctrine, that is, to keep silent about his own interests, but only to talk about the interests of others, but to seek the best interests for himself in the disputes of other countries: "Gentlemen, I think everyone should be very aware of the present situation, although the war between China and Russia is not over, but there are some things that we can do in advance, and among those sitting here, it seems that there is no hope that the British will come back and make things as before, right?" ”

Mumo puffed his chest with his cigar in his mouth: "Conger." Let's be more direct, we don't have much time! Let me first state the attitude of our German government, we have cooperated with the Chinese in many areas, you know, we get so much because we paid the price, so now I don't want anyone to compete with us Germans! ”

Shotaro Abe stood up, his opening remarks in line with the character of the Japanese, first bowing around before saying, "Rest assured, our cooperation between the Japanese Empire and China. We will try not to touch on other areas as much as possible, and at the same time, I hope that you will give us a little space for the Japanese Empire, and we are willing to live in peace with you on the issue of China. ”

He had just finished speaking. Conger's brows furrowed, and the Americans knew very well what the Japanese wanted China's resources for. And the U.S. government has already made a decision. Japan must not be allowed to dominate China's resources, and they are studying a government policy to encourage American businessmen to come to China to operate minerals. I don't want to make money, but I don't want you to get it in Japan.

When Conger really wanted to express the attitude of the United States to Japan in some euphemistic tone, the Dutch minister next to him stood up suddenly: "Our Dutch government has made a decision, and tomorrow I will go to the Chinese government to negotiate the formal establishment of comprehensive diplomatic relations." We will never let you Japanese get your wish! ”

Conger didn't speak again, glanced at Abe Shoutaro out of the corner of his eye, and saw that the smile on the little Japanese face did not change in the slightest, and he bowed to the Dutch minister very politely: "Listen to your respect." If your country wishes. We, the Empire of Japan, also want to engage in commercial exchanges with you. ”

The smell of gunpowder is clear to everyone sitting here. During this period of time, little Japan was really not idle in Indonesia, they have stirred up the situation so that the Dutch can not control it, although the Dutch government has called for troops, but the current Netherlands is not more than 200 years ago.

The Dutch's only hope was that Britain would intervene to stop the Japanese, but so far the British Empire had done nothing but verbal warnings and condemnations to maintain its Asian ally.

The Japanese have become more and more emboldened, and everyone can see very clearly that if Japan can get China's resources to serve its war, then little Japan will move Indonesia at the snap of a finger.

The Dutch minister seemed to have something else to say, but Conger interrupted him: "I remind you that we are here to discuss how to maintain the interests of our various countries in China, and can we wait until another time to talk about other things?" ”

The Japanese and the Dutch sat down at the same time, but the Belgian stood up: "Ladies and gentlemen, China has a large-scale plan to build their townships, and in this plan they are more interested in our Belgian design scheme, I think you should be well aware of this. Our government has decided to send architects to China, and of course, if any country is willing to work with us, we are very welcome. ”

This meaning is more clearly expressed, they want to share a share, and they don't ask for much, whoever can share it, and don't have contradictions. Belgium is a small country and does not dare to compete with these big countries.

Of course, such an attitude will not cause any contradictions, and after the Belgian finished speaking, Conger immediately brought the topic back to the topic: "I also agree with this opinion, our US government will not regard New China as long as we do not treat China as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Chinese will not reject us."

China is a very large market, and there are huge human and material resources here, and it is in the interest of all of us that we can use this overseas market to help us alleviate the current economic crisis. It's just that I hope that in the future, our business interests in China will not conflict with you. Therefore, I would like you to be honest and say what you want to say, especially what is the attitude of the German side. ”

At all times, the fist is the most correct axiom, and after Britain and France left China, the only thing Americans had to consider was the attitude of Germany.

Mr. Moummer looked at Conger, and then stood up: "Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, what I just said is that we cannot share our interests in China with you, and we also want to look for partners like the Belgian government. But I would like to draw your attention to the fact that there is any point in the negotiations that we are here today? If we can't stop the British from coming back, then we're wasting our time.
