Chapter 209 The supremacy of national interests
As an enemy warring country, there are naturally not a few little devils in the spy department of Longhua. With the great victory of the navy published by the People's Daily and the total annihilation of the menacing Japanese fleet, the first reaction of the spy department of the little devil was impossible.
But when they sent spy officers disguised as fishermen, they saw the corpses of Japanese sailors floating to the surface of the sea outside Qiantang, and Xu Jiajun was busy salvaging those warships. They finally realized that this news was not fake, but that the combined fleet of their two main fleets had all been damaged in the Qiantang Sea. If this news is transmitted back to China, I am afraid that it will also cause a major earthquake!
As the spy department sent the news back to China as soon as possible, as expected, the ministers of the Admiralty immediately said that it was impossible. But as they sent out several telegrams urging them to call back, they finally realized that the news was most likely true.
Even the emperor tightened his belt and squeezed it out, creating this 88 fleet that is proud of Asia and is not afraid of eagles. I cut off two of them at once, which is really nerve-wracking!
After confirming the entire Jade Shatter and Qiantang waters of the naval fleet, the corpses of those dead little devils were about to float on the open sea. The Secretary of the Admiralty, when he received this telegram, committed suicide by disembowelment in his own house as soon as possible, and in this way became a substitute for the blame.
Compared with the royal family and cabinet of the Sun Country, when the government and the opposition were shocked by this news, they returned to the two observation ships at the station. At the first time, I waited for the urgent summons of the commander of this fleet. After confirming the truth of the information they sent back, in addition to a large warship of 15,000 tons, Xu Jiajun also had an unknown number of warships capable of launching attacks underwater.
This news is undoubtedly a shock to the top brass of the navies of the two countries. Immediately telegraphed the Consulate General in Longhua. The consul general and military attache in Longhua, who had all been relocated to Hero City, the capital of Gannan, immediately went to Xu Bin to discuss the matter of the submarine.
They know very well that this kind of warship, which can lurk under the surface of the water, cannot make a judgment on the strength of its preparation. It will deal a fatal blow to their most proud navy. Isn't there a most ironclad evidence in front of you?
The combined Grand Fleet, the two main fleets of the Japanese army, with a total of more than 50 warships of all sizes, were completely annihilated in the waters of Qiantang. According to their observing commanders, at least half of the warships were sunk by these warships lurking underwater. Even if it is a little devil's flagship of more than 10,000 tons, it will not be able to escape the attack of this kind of warship that can ambush under the water.
So this time, if it is replaced by them attacking the Qiantang Sea. I'm afraid it won't end up that much better! Considering that they and Xu Bin have already purchased a lot of military drawings, and this time in the matter of civilian ports, they have joined forces with Xu Bin to put pressure on the Sun Country.
I believe that at this time, I will ask Xu Bin to buy this kind of warship drawings or real ships that can be hidden under the water. Presumably with their relationship with Xu Bin. The other party should not refuse. After all, they know that Xu Bin still needs the support of both countries. So this thing just needs to be willing to spend money. Don't worry about not being able to buy drawings and real things.
It's just that when the two received an urgent telegram from China and immediately invited the Gannan Governor's Mansion to meet, they received a reply that Xu Bin was temporarily absent from the Governor's Palace. As for asking about Xu Bin's specific whereabouts, the governor's people refused to disclose the governor's security secrets because it was a matter of security secrets.
Therefore, they had to tell the liaison officer of the Governor's Palace. Let them be after Xu Bin returns. As soon as possible, report that they have something urgent to meet with him. In this regard, the liaison officer politely said that he would definitely report the situation as soon as Xu Bin returned.
When Xu Bin took the recently opened Gannan-Qiantang railway. When he arrived at Hero City the next morning, he returned to the Governor's Palace and received a request from the Governor's Foreign Liaison Office regarding a meeting between the consul generals of the two countries in Longhua and the military attaché.
Xu Bin, who knew what these people were here for, instructed the liaison officer very directly. In the evening, I told the two consuls that he hadn't slept well all the way back, and that he had better rest first. If he doesn't dry these anxious wrongdoers, how can he open his mouth next?
In this era, the appearance of any new weapon will attract a group of people. This kind of submarine that is enough to change the naval strategy of the two major naval powers, I believe there will be no problem with killing more money, right? For this reason, Xu Bin seemed very calm, after all, now is the time for the two countries to beg him, how can they do it if they don't dry it?
Sure enough, the two consular officers who had made countless telegrams to the Governor's Mansion in one day were after Xu Bin had dinner. Only then did the officials of the liaison office tell the two anxious consul generals and the military attaches of the two countries to meet with the governor.
Considering that this kind of thing can only be valuable if it is competitive, Xu Bin first had a collective meeting with the consul generals and military attaches of the two countries. Later, when talking about the best way to sell drawings and warship samples, Xu Bin first talked a lot, and they only knew how much investment and money it took to develop this kind of thing called a submarine.
In order to make the two countries feel hopeful, Xu Bin also said that as a representative of a friendly country with Xu Jiajun, he certainly did not mind sharing this kind of jishu. It's just that as the supreme commander of an army, he still has to respect the scientific research achievements of his subordinates to some extent, and he must also recover some of the invested capital. Therefore, he meant that it was possible to sell drawings to the two countries and even equip the Haode submarine.
If they felt that such a blind offer might lose money, Xu Bin also generously said that he could let them send naval officers to the submarine to experience it for themselves. Of course, in order to ensure that the internal structure of the submarine is not leaked, such places are still very limited.
The consul generals of the two countries, who were themselves to talk about this matter, saw that Xu Bin was really polite to them, and he was also very generous. As long as the naval officer who is on board the ship can follow the Admiralty's suggestion, he can purchase this kind of drawings and submarines. In terms of price, they will definitely not treat Xu Bin, an old friend, badly.
After a period of friendly consultation, Xu Bin took the initiative to summon the consul general of the German state after sending off the consuls general of the two countries. If you want to say that Xu Jiajun has the best relationship with that country now. Then it's not Eagle Rice, but this German state that is rapidly recovering its military strength in the economy after defeat.
Many of the weapons secretly developed and developed by the Xu Jiajun maintained a secret agreement with the German state. Although Xu Bin knows that this is a relationship of mutual use, with the support of the jishu and industry of the two countries. Xu Bin, the governor with the largest grain producing area in Longhua, adopted the method of exchanging grain for equipment.
Provide the most urgently needed civilian materials in exchange for a large number of light and heavy industrial equipment in Germany. At this time, the two countries can be said to be truly in the honeymoon period. Since this submarine is going to be sold to the two countries, it seems that it is not bad to sell one more German country! Not only can it reflect his friendly relations with the German country, but also create some trouble for the two countries, why not?
Although he doesn't know, in this time and space, there will be a second shijie war. But he knew one thing very well, that is, the German state was unforgettable for the defeat in World War I. For the countries led by the two countries, they embezzled a large amount of materials and wealth from their countries. Today's Debang people have a lot of grudges.
Although it is not the mustache that is now in charge of the German state, it is still the Kaiser III who was forced to announce his unconditional surrender. But according to the news sent back by the intelligence department sent by Xu Bin to the German state, the German emperor regarded the surrender of his subordinates as a lifelong shame and was bent on revenge?
Nowadays, with the concerted efforts of the whole country, the economy and military are rapidly recovering, and the victorious countries such as Eagle and Rice are monitoring it. Although both countries are fighting for the status of Shijie as a military power, they have relaxed their control over the German state.
This also means that once the German state has the strength to get rid of the shackles of the two countries, it may be possible for this shijie to be possible again, rolling up the prelude to the war that swept the whole shijie. At that time, Xu Bin hoped that Long Huaguo would complete the reunification under his own arrangement. While other European countries were involved in the war, they quickly accumulated national strength to complete the great cause of the revival of Longhua Kingdom.
It is precisely because of these jihua and judgment of the international situation that Xu Bin intends to strengthen his ties with the German state. The two countries have a private basis for using each other, and neither of them is willing to expose this cooperation to the two countries. Therefore, this kind of cooperation can still be unbreakable in a short period of time.
Moreover, half of the iron ore and finished steel in the military industry of Debang, which is now being revived, are in the steel mills controlled by Xu Bin. By sea, it is transported to the country of Germany. Similarly, some of the precision industrial equipment preserved in Debang also manufactured batches of cutting-edge industrial equipment to be shipped to the territory of Xu Jiajun in Longhua State. This way of exchange undoubtedly makes the cooperation between the two sides very pleasant.
It is clear that this kind of submarine is also very important for the current naval strength of the German country, which is also in poverty and white. Xu Bin didn't want their drawings and money, but could exchange them for something else. It will also be given to the German country, you must know the submarine warfare, but in the previous life of the German country, the naval tactics that made the Eagle Army smell the color.
He also hoped that the Debang people would be able to take the submarine jishu he provided and teach the two countries a profound lesson. Let them know that submarines to some extent can indeed compensate for the lack of naval strength of some countries with large surface ships. Even if the current submarines are only suitable for the near sea, but once the number of submarines increases. The wolf pack tactics they formed. No matter which naval power it is, it will smell and change color!
This kind of thing that harms people and benefits, in Xu Bin's opinion, can still do a little more occasionally. Who called him a pure nationalist? He is very happy to see these foreign devils killing each other! (To be continued......)
