Cooperating with the Japanese is undoubtedly seeking the skin of the tiger. Wu Haoxuan is very clear about this. The most fundamental purpose of his efforts to develop Jilin's military and industrial strength was to avoid being invaded by the Japanese. As long as the Japanese are not dead, they will not be able to live in peace.

Wu Haoxuan knew that the Japanese were just delaying the army. So, he won't be fooled at all.

"Your Excellency, I wonder what Japan wants to cooperate with us in?" Wu Haoxuan asked without moving.

"Your Excellency, Japan intends to cooperate with Jilin to build an arsenal to produce all kinds of weapons to meet the Chinese market. His Excellency the Young Marshal's Changchun Arsenal is very suitable, and we hope to be able to inject capital into this arsenal. Goto Shinpei had a smile on his face.

Wu Haoxuan's face suddenly changed greatly, the arsenal is one of the foundations of Jilin, and the Japanese actually want to attack the idea of the arsenal, which he absolutely cannot allow.

"Your Excellency President, the Changchun Arsenal is an American-funded enterprise, and we only have a small part of the shares in the Arsenal, and the rest of the shares belong to American companies." Wu Haoxuan did not categorically refuse, but took the action of wanting to refuse.

"Your Excellency, young marshal, we don't talk darkly. The so-called Xihua Group is simply the industry of the young marshal. The young marshal is so young, and it is indeed shocking that he has established such a large foundation in the United States in just four years! Goto Shinpei sighed. During this time, the Japanese have already found out about Wu Haoxuan's situation clearly, and even the Xihua Group knows it clearly.

"You're investigating me?" Wu Haoxuan's face was cold.

"In order to avoid a misunderstanding between us, of course we have to investigate clearly, and if you dislike Your Excellency the Young Marshal because of this, I apologize for this." Although he said that, Goto Shinpei did not have any apology on his face. This made Wu Haoxuan very angry.

"So, Your Excellency, what do you want?" Wu Haoxuan was about to lose his patience, if it weren't for the fact that he still had his senses, maybe he would have pulled out his gun and shot this old devil.

"Your Excellency, I have to admit that the rapid development of Jilin has brought some troubles to the Great Japanese Empire. However, this is only a minor annoyance. As long as the Great Japanese Empire wanted to, it would be easy to solve this problem. However, the Empire of Japan was a peace-loving country, and we wanted to solve the problem in a peaceful way as much as possible. Therefore, this time I came with sincerity. Goto Shinhei said shamelessly.

Wu Haoxuan looked at Goto Shinpei with disdain, if Japan is a peace-loving country, then there will be no war in the world. The Japanese, arguably the most belligerent country. Especially after the victory in the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese fell into a feverish belligerence.

For the Japanese, the two wars were both gambling on the fortunes of the country. However, it is a pity that they won both wars. This made the Japanese suddenly become arrogant and arrogant. Thought they were already at the real forefront of the world. With the exception of the old Western powers, the rest of the countries are not taken into account by them. In particular, China, which is weakened, has become fat in the eyes of the Japanese.

As for the so-called sincerity of the Japanese, it is even more just a joke. Wu Haoxuan can also imagine with the soles of his feet that the Japanese want to inject capital into the arsenal for nothing more than two purposes, one is to control the development of Jilin's military industry and curb Jilin's military strength. On the other hand, I am afraid that it is the advanced technology that wants to control the arsenal.

The weapons used by the Japanese army now are really a bit too scummy, whether it is the Golden Hook rifle or the 31-year-old rapid-fire gun, they are very rubbish, and they cannot be compared with the M1903 rifle equipped by the Jilin Army and the M1904 field gun that imitates France. Compared to their navy, the weapons of the Japanese army were much worse. The Japanese apparently knew this, and that was why they wanted to acquire the technology by investing in the arsenal. As long as Wu Haoxuan's head was not caught by the door, he would not let them get their wish.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, I didn't feel your sincerity!" Wu Haoxuan didn't give an inch.

The smile on Goto Shinpei's face disappeared at once, replaced by a gloomy face, and the eyes hidden behind the two spectacle lenses seemed to explode into a devouring gaze.

"Your Excellency, are you refusing the friendship of the Great Japanese Empire? You'd better think it through. Although the Jilin Army already has tens of thousands of people, in the eyes of the Japanese Empire, it is still a weak ant. The Great Japanese Empire only needs a light pinch to pinch you to death. Goto Shinpei threatened.

"Your Excellency President, misunderstanding, please dispel your anger, Haoxuan is young and ignorant, don't be like him." Wu Xingquan, who had not spoken, was about to quarrel with Goto Shinpei when he saw Wu Haoxuan, and hurriedly played a round.

Wu Xingquan knew that Wu Haoxuan had always been on guard against the Japanese, but now was not the time to fall out with the Japanese.

Wu Haoxuan had a cold face and didn't say anything. He knew what Wu Xingquan meant. Now Jilin, it still needs enough time to develop, even if it is to taste the courage, it needs to persist for a while longer. It's just that Wu Haoxuan has his own principles, and some things can never be compromised and retreated. He also did not believe that the Japanese would be able to take any action against Jilin without relieving themselves.

"Your Excellency, it seems that Your Excellency the Young Marshal is extremely hostile to the Japanese Empire! This notion is extremely wrong. The Great Japanese Empire has always been a friend of China, and even in last year's war, we were just trying to drive out the Russians. So, it is difficult for me to understand the hostility of the young marshal. Goto Shinpei's face was once again full of smiles.

Indeed, as Goto Shinpei said, in this era, there are indeed many people who have a good impression of Japanese people, and even regard Japanese people as teachers. After all, half a century ago, the fates of the two countries were not very different. But now the two sides are very different. Under the invasion of the Western powers, China gradually fell and has completely become a semi-colony. Japan has gradually developed and become a new power in the world. This has led many so-called people with lofty ideals to shout that China should learn from Japan, and then start copying Japan's example, thinking that this will change the status quo in China. Don't you know that the Japanese are China's biggest enemy, and by doing so, they are simply luring wolves into the house. Even if someone surnamed Sun is not a good bird, his development is indispensable to the support of the Japanese.

Wu Haoxuan, who traveled back from the afterlife, can be said to have an unforgettable pain for the Japanese, so naturally he would not be deceived by the Japanese so lightly.

"Your Excellency, you have misunderstood, I have no hostility towards Japan. It's just that the Changchun Arsenal is the foundation of my friends and me, and I won't give it up. Wu Haoxuan said, his words were still full of determination.

"Your Excellency, we can do without the controlling stake in the arsenal. However, we would like to be able to share the technology of the arsenal. We can provide two million yen of capital into the arsenal, as long as we get 20 percent of the shares of the arsenal. Goto Shinpei finally showed his fox tail.

Wu Haoxuan looked at Goto Xinping's eyes, and the disdain was even greater. Two million yen is only one million dollars. And Wu Haoxuan's investment in this arsenal has already exceeded 10 million US dollars. Moreover, with the subsequent installation of a large number of machine equipment, the production capacity of the arsenal will be further expanded. Not only can rifles and rifle cartridges be produced, but also light and heavy machine guns, mortars, 75 mm field guns, 105 mm light howitzers, 155 mm heavy howitzers, etc., will be produced step by step. Wanting to get 20 percent of the shares of the arsenal for 2 million yen is simply a trick. Besides, the Japanese want these technologies of the arsenal, and that is impossible to follow. Let the Japanese master these technologies, and then they will produce advanced weapons to kill the Chinese? Wu Haoxuan is not a fool, how could he agree.

"Your Excellency, I can't say yes. Shares in the Arsenal will not be sold. Although Xihua Group is my property, I am not the only shareholder. The DuPont family and the Rockefeller family are also shareholders of the Xihua Group. So. If you want to buy a stake in the arsenal, you need the consent of both of them. ”

The expression on Goto Shinpei's face was a little solemn, of course he knew the names of the Dupont family and the Rockefeller family, these two families are behemoths in the United States. Although Japan is a new power, if you find it, people will not necessarily pay attention to them. What's more, Wu Haoxuan has a close relationship with the Dupont family and the Rockefeller family, which is also one of the reasons why the Japanese dare not use force against Jilin.

"Well, Your Excellency the Young Marshal, we can do without the shares of the Arsenal. However, please also transfer some of the technology of the arsenal to us. Two million yen is considered to be the transfer fee of these technologies. Your Excellency the Young Marshal, you should be able to agree, right? Goto Shinpei continued. Not being able to get a stake in the arsenal and getting the technology is a victory. So, he chose to give in. and retreated as advance, hoping to continue to persecute Wu Haoxuan.

A trace of anger flashed in Wu Haoxuan's eyes, and he was dissatisfied with the step-by-step pressing of Goto Xinping, an old devil.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but these technologies are also shared by the three of us, and I can't transfer them to you."

Suddenly, Goto Shinpei's face suddenly became gloomy, as if he could drip water.
