As November begins, the entire seven northern provinces enter a cold winter. Because of the heavy snowfall, there is a white patch everywhere. Construction sites have been halted everywhere and will not continue until the next year. However, those factories that have been built and put into operation have already started production.

Wu Haoxuan's greatest concern is still the automobile factory. In October, the machinery and equipment shipped from the United States were installed in place, and after commissioning, trial production was carried out. The first BMW Model 1 has already rolled off the assembly line and has undergone various tests. Although the current cars are far from being comparable to the cars of later generations, compared to the cars of the same era, the BMW Model 1 is definitely the best.

Even managers, engineers and skilled workers from the United States were eager to buy the first batch of cars. However, these cars are ready to be put on the American market to hit the Ford Model T. So, these cars will be transported by rail to Dalian, where they will be loaded onto ships and shipped to the United States. With the coming of 1908, Ford will also launch the Model T, whether it can beat them and monopolize the entire market depends on the performance of the BMW Model 1 this time.

However, Wu Haoxuan has great confidence in the BMW Model 1, whether it is the exterior or interior, or other performance, the BMW Model 1 will undoubtedly be able to throw off the Ford Model T for several streets. Even the top-of-the-line cars, which cost more than $2,500, are definitely not comparable to the BMW Type 1. It can be said that beating the Ford Model T, that is a certainty. However, if you want to monopolize the market, it may be difficult. The biggest problem is production efficiency. It is expected that the plant will only be able to produce 100,000 BMW Type 1 cars next year, which seems like a lot. But for the huge U.S. market, it's nothing at all.

"We still need to further increase production! The production line has been installed, and the new assembly line production method has also been tested. By next year, we will have to find a way to continue to expand the plant and install more production lines. Wu Haoxuan said secretly. Cars were produced in this era. It's like grabbing money. Take the BMW Model 1 as an example, even if you only buy 800 dollars, you can make a profit of more than 400 dollars. If you sell a 100,000-year-old car a year, you will make a profit of $40 million. If you want to monopolize most of the car market in Europe and the United States, you may have to produce millions of cars every year, what a huge profit! It's crazy to think about.

"Young marshal, Dashuai will let you go back immediately." Zhao Hu said to Wu Haoxuan.

"Well, okay!" Wu Haoxuan nodded. After Li Yanling was injured, Zhao Hu temporarily took over her duties. But. Wu Haoxuan still felt a little unaccustomed. He had long been accustomed to Li Yanling by his side.

At this moment, in the Northeast Patrol Embassy, Wu Xingquan was meeting with two guests from Yanjing City, one was an old man in his fifties, and the other was a young man in his early thirties.

"Lord Wu, now that the society of the Qing Dynasty is in danger, Yuan Datou's living Cao Cao has the ambition to usurp the throne. Count the entire Qing Dynasty up and down. Only Lord Wu can turn the tide. As long as Lord Wu sends troops into the pass, defeat Yuan Datou. Then you can return a bright future. And the imperial court will definitely not be stingy with rewards. The old man said excitedly, he was Tie Liang, this time he was ordered by the Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Su to go to Shengjing City to see Wu Xingquan and his son. I hope they can send troops into the king of Guanqin. The other young man is Liangbi, as Tie Liang's deputy.

The two disguised themselves as fur merchants, exited the customs from Shanhaiguan and took the train to Shengjing City. Along. It was a huge shock to them. When did the originally barren Guanwai become so prosperous, high-rise buildings rose from the ground, and many factories were billowing smoke, which was completely different from the Guanwai in their memory. Of course, from these, they also saw the strength of the seven northern provinces, and also concluded that if the Northern Army was willing to send troops, Yuan Datou's Beiyang Army would definitely not be an opponent. For them, they undoubtedly saw the hope of reviving the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

"Yes, Lord Wu. Lafayette has already issued an edict that as long as the adult can lead the army to defeat Yuan Datou, the court will crown the lord as the king of the north, receive the title of prince, and the son of the lord can also be named the king of the county. This is the supreme glory! Liangbi also said. As a student at the Japanese Army Military Academy, he is well aware of the strong strength of the Japanese Army, and the Northern Army can defeat the Japanese Army and still have the upper hand in the recent conflict, which undoubtedly shows the strength of the Northern Army. Liangbi believed that with the strength of the Northern Army, it would not be a problem at all to defeat Yuan Datou's Beiyang Army.

Wu Xingquan was a little excited in his heart, although he had now become a veritable king of the north. But this is fundamentally different from being recognized by the imperial court. As an old-style warlord who has also been a courtier of the Manchu Qing for decades, he is still looking forward to the Manchu reward. Of course, Wu Xingquan obviously won't decide on such a major matter by himself, he still needs to discuss it with Wu Haoxuan.

"Lord Tieliang, Lord Liangbi, Yuan Datou controls the central government, sits on the great rivers and mountains in the Guannai, and hundreds of millions of people under his rule, and his strength cannot be underestimated! Although the Northern Army has good combat strength, if it wants to enter the customs, I am afraid that it will still be a little weak. What's more, the situation of the Northern Army is not safe now, our conflict with Little Japan is continuing, and Lao Maozi in the north is even more eyeing it. At this juncture, I really don't dare to send the main force to the Guannai! Wu Xingquan said.

"Lord Wu, as long as you can defeat Yuan Datou's Beiyang Army, even if you lose the Guanwai, it will be nothing. With the land and people in Kannai, are adults afraid that there will be no chance to make a comeback? The population inside the gate is also more than ten times that outside the gate! Tie Liang hurriedly persuaded. In their opinion, the outside of the gate is too barren, the population is too small, where can it be compared with the inside of the gate! The Japanese and Russians want it, then let it be better for them. Fooling Wu Xingquan to send troops to defeat Yuan Datou and restore the Manchu Qing dynasty is the most important thing.

In addition, the seven northern provinces have become the foundation of Wu Xingquan. If the seven northern provinces are lost, Wu Xingquan's strength will inevitably be greatly damaged. In this way, the Manchu court would not have to worry about Wu Xingquan becoming the second Yuan Datou. When the time comes, just think of a plan to deprive Wu Xingquan's father and son of their military power, and just trap them. And the Qing Dynasty can be stable for a long time. This is a two-bird solution!

However, Tie Liang's words made Wu Xingquan a little dissatisfied. The Northeast is where he started, and Wu Haoxuan spent an unknown amount of money in order to develop the Northeast. Now that the industry and railways of the seven northern provinces are booming, can they be easily discarded? In that case, will all these years of hard work soon be in vain?

"Lord Tieliang, in the seven northern provinces, Wu someone can never give up, it is precisely because of the support of the people here that I, Wu, have today. If you hand them over to Little Japan and Lao Maozi to ravage, then I, Wu Xingquan, will be too bad. Wu Xingquan said angrily.

"Alas! Lord Wu, why don't you know what to prioritize? "Tie Liang has some hatred that iron does not become steel.

At this time, Wu Haoxuan walked into the living room.

"Two adults, this is the dog Wu Haoxuan. Haoxuan, these two are Lord Tieliang and Lord Liangbi from Yanjing City! Wu Xingquan introduced Wu Haoxuan.

"Haoxuan has seen two adults!" Wu Haoxuan bowed slightly to the two of them.

"The young marshal is polite. The name of Young Marshal Wu, we have long been thunderous in the Guannei. Commanding the Jilin Army, defeating the Japanese with less victories, this is undoubtedly a great increase in the prestige of our Chinese! Tie Liang looked approving.

"Lord Tieliang praised it falsely, Haoxuan is just lucky, plus the soldiers used their lives." Wu Haoxuan smiled humbly.

When he entered the door, he had already heard Tie Liang's previous words, and he was very dissatisfied with the other party's words. In order to develop the heavy industry in the north, he has invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and he can easily give up? Besides, in the whole of China, is there a better place to develop heavy industry than the Northeast?

However, these two people wanted to be envoys of the Manchu court after all. Since the other party has come to the Northeast, if he doesn't get any benefits from them, Wu Haoxuan will definitely not give up. Anyway, these Manchu aristocrats, who have been parasites for so many years, should pay a little price.

"My lords, I know what you are here for. However, now the Northern Army also has its own difficulties. Although we have more than 200,000 troops, we have to guard against both the Japanese and the Russians, and our troops are seriously insufficient. If you want to send troops to the Guannai, I'm afraid you will have to expand the army. In addition, if a war with the Beiyang Army is to be started, a large amount of military expenditure will also be required. If the imperial court can help us solve the problem in this regard, we are naturally willing to send troops to defeat the Beiyang Army! Wu Haoxuan said.

Wu Haoxuan's idea was to get the money from the Manchu government first, and get as much as he could. After getting the money, just turn your face and don't recognize people. Anyway, blackmailing these Manchu nobles, he will not have any guilt, and the right is regarded as the interest of these Manchu nobles to enslave the Han people.

Hearing Wu Haoxuan say this, a hint of joy flashed on both Tie Liang and Liang Bi's faces. They are not afraid of Wu Haoxuan's conditions, but they are afraid that Wu Haoxuan will not mention conditions! As long as Wu Haoxuan is willing to put forward conditions, then this means that they may say that they will send troops to the Northern Army. (To be continued......)
