"Minister Millerand, I really can't call the shots with this agreement, I don't think it's very realistic, and,"

Millerand didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted: "Is there still a problem with the price?" It doesn't matter, we can negotiate the price. ”

Yang Dusheng swallowed the second half of his sentence, he originally wanted to say that we are not willing to intervene too much in European affairs, and that giving weapons to the French will cause tension in our relations with Germany. But looking at the Frenchman like this, he knew that it was useless for him to say it.

And he suddenly felt that this deal could be a good opportunity for China!

"Okay, I'll talk to Beijing and give you an answer soon."

The French were satisfied: "Very good, Minister Yang, please use your good offices to mediate more, I believe that the exchanges between China and France will make our friendship stronger." ”

Yang Huizi doesn't want to help Yang Xiaolin be the master, let him decide for himself. In recent years, the pace of China's weapons research has been really fast, so fast that some new equipment has not even appeared on the battlefield, and the whole world says that the firepower of the Chinese troops is strong, but they do not know that many of the weapons used by the volunteers are about to be eliminated.

For example, the submachine guns and flamethrowers we use are still the same ones we used when we fought in Matsubara two years ago, and they have actually been updated for two generations in the research institute. The same goes for grenades and mines, many new products are in the institute.

The acceleration of weapons research and development is first due to our large capital investment, and the second reason is the strengthening of China's domestic industrial base and the rapid development of science and technology.

After we recovered Taiwan and Korea, we obtained a large amount of equipment from the Japanese, and at the same time, because of the internal chaos of the Russians, we also bought the equipment of many of their large factories cheaply, and after the trade routes with Britain and France were opened, a large number of advanced machines entered China. Let our industrial system look the same every year on the basis of poverty and whiteness.

These are just hardware, software is scientific and technical talents.

It is undeniable that at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, we were even more backward than we were in terms of talent. At that time, we relied on German engineers to do a lot of technology. The simplest example is that China can't even open an oil well. We don't even have the capacity to produce special steel.

Now it's different, Russia is in chaos, and a large number of Russian engineers have come to China to seek a stable living environment. Korean and Japanese skilled workers also fell into our hands, and the industry of Northeast China can be said to have jumped more than one step at once by plundering equipment and technical personnel from Korea.

In the past few months, even those professors in Japan have submitted job applications to China, which is equivalent to a stream of blood injected into our already blood-hungry body.

China also gives preferential treatment to these foreign professors and technicians, as long as you have the skills, it is not a problem to obtain a Chinese ID card. If you're particularly good at something, don't worry. China can't afford you.

Metchnikov became his director in Beijing, although he always stayed in the real room and rarely saw him outside, and did not hear of any new achievements of him, but many people in Beijing know that there was a big mansion and a two-story small western-style building more than 200 meters away from the old city wall, which was built by the Beijing government for Metchnikov, and it was also equipped with special drivers and nannies to take care of his family.

As for those who have accomplishments, they are even more enviable. The Wright brothers, who built planes for China, are now Chinese nationals. The annual salary is 400,000 oceans, which is almost impossible in the world. According to the current market, 400,000 oceans is more than 100,000 pounds. You can't make that much money in your average business.

400,000 oceans is just the basic salary, counting the rewards given by the government after the success of the research project and the commercial commissions that can be shared after the technology is used by the people, the Wright brothers made 3 million oceans in China last year!

A few years ago, they were poor in the United States, begging the government to support their flying career. Now they have established Fahrenheit International Trading Co., Ltd. in Northeast China, specializing in selling aircraft. Why is it called Fahrenheit Trading Company?

People are now Chinese, Wilbur Wright's Chinese ID card is called Hua Dalai, and Ovill Wright is called Hua Xiaolai.

Whether it's these mechanics or professors, whether they've done something in China or have achieved nothing so far, these people fill in the voids we have when we need them most. In fact, they are the screws, for the sake of life, for the sake of money, they have contributed their strength in China. Only then can our entire huge machine be able to run quickly.

By now that our own college students have graduated, the schools we have set up across the country to train skilled workers are slowly maturing. The planted seeds have sprouted and blossomed, although they have not yet been able to provoke the girders. But China's soft power has indeed passed through the most difficult period, and with a little patience, it won't be long before the flowers bloom.

When Yang Huizi's telegram drifted from Europe to Beijing, Yang Xiaolin was reading Du Yuesheng's plan from the northwest.

Sometimes things are like this, you think about using a benevolent way but are often misunderstood by the other party as cowardice, Cai Ye has been in Yunnan for several years and has not made much progress for us, but after this war has been fought, cracks suddenly appeared in the iron plate that seemed to be united.

The opinions of the top brass of the Potala Palace were no longer unanimous, and the Panchen Lama sent his secret envoy to take the initiative to consult with us, and our battle in the military field convinced many oppressed Tibetans that we had the ability to help them change their fate, and they were willing to follow us and break the serfdom that sucked their blood and bones.

Du Yuesheng is now in contact with the Panchen Lama and training the Tibetan soldiers. He expressed his opposition to Yang Xiaolin's original proposal to form a Tibetan army to solve the problem, and Du Yuesheng was ready to wait for these soldiers to be trained and slowly press up from Qinghai. This can make the Potala Palace feel more and more pressing pressure, and it can also make their cracks bigger and bigger.

As for the British side, Du Yuesheng believes that as long as we choose the right time, we can not consider it. The situation in Russia is now out of control, and Trotsky and Kerensky say that they can fight each other, and that the problems in the Middle East and Afghanistan will explode at that time. Du Yuesheng was ready to play a big game of chess in that place.

He not only wants to solve the problem of the Potala Palace, but also wants to take our influence deep into the Middle East and control a large area in western Xinjiang. If he could, he would have even set his sights on India.

Du Yuesheng swore in the letter. To build a stable western region for China, he asked Yang Xiaolin to give him three years, and he said he would be able to do it.

This plan can be said to be full of young people's passion and arrogance, although Yang Xiaolin's purpose is the same as his, but Commander Yang has always thought that it will take at least five or six years to achieve this.

In particular, to save the people of India from the misery, we may not have a chance at all before the war breaks out and the British Empire goes all out against Germany.

However, he finally approved and agreed to these two words on Du Yuesheng's plan. Only two words were approved, and no changes or instructions were made to the proposal.

Whether it is Du Yuesheng or Jiang Zhiqing or Song Jiaoren, they are all very young, passion is their right, Yang Xiaolin is unwilling to stifle the arrogance of these young people, maybe they will hit their heads and break the bloodstream, then let them bump well. It is enough to give them the gauze to stop the bleeding.

Yang Huizi is obviously much more experienced than Du Yuesheng and the others, and he kicked the ball back. Yang Xiaolin and Yang Du have been together for so many years, and he understands very well what Yang Huizi means by this kickback.

"Xingtai, you can meet with French Ambassador Bovo tomorrow. Consult with the French on the issue of the arms deal. ”

Chen Tianhua frowned after hearing this: "What do you think?" To sell or not to sell? ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "What do you say? ”

Chen Tianhua is an honest person, so he naturally didn't think of how this tacit understanding between Yang Xiaolin and Yang Du was formed: "This problem is difficult to solve, and if we don't agree, it will definitely affect the trade between us and France." If we agree, our relations with Germany will be strained again. If we can convince France to abandon this deal, it should be the most perfect. ”

Yang Xiaolin's body leaned back, if that was the case, Yang Du would not have kicked the ball back. Although we no longer live on the money from the sale of arms, we still have to sell arms.

"Don't say yes to the French right away, but don't say no to them either."

Chen Tianhua's eyes blinked a few times: "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting, you see I started by selling arms, and if I don't do business. What if this signboard is smashed? ”

Yang Xiaolin had a playful smile on his face when he said this, and Chen Tianhua knew at a glance that he must have some more calculations in his heart. I thought about it for a few minutes. Chen Tianhua suddenly understood: "You, want to send supplies to the old nun?" ”

Yang Xiaolin did not deny it.

Nyerere is having a hard time in Africa. Although the route established by Mr. Robert alleviated their existential crisis, it could only allow the African rebels to survive, and they were still suppressed in the Atlas Mountains by those Western troops, unable to open the situation.

Lei Zhenchun's telegram made it very clear that there were the best soldiers there, but they lacked all the supplies needed for the battle. If the African rebels were equipped with the same equipment as the colonial armies, and if they had adequate logistical supplies, Lei Zhenchun believed that the white men were no match for Lao Ni and others, even if they were outnumbered.

If Yang Xiaolin wants to help Nyerere, he must open a sea defense line that can transport large quantities of munitions, and with Britain and France in control of the Strait of Malacca and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, we have no chance of accomplishing this goal.

Even if Britain and France don't check us, it would be too much money to build such a route.

If a trade agreement is signed with France, we can send weapons to the past, the British and French fleets will no longer intercept us, the French will pay for our fleet, and we can drop some for Lao Ni on the way to Africa, and the problem will be solved.

There is a second benefit, Yang Xiaolin has made it very clear just now, why not do business if you have it? Not only to do, but also to make our business bigger and stronger. Not only do we have to sell to the French, but we also have to get the Germans to buy our things. In the words of gentlemen, China must fulfill the international obligations that a major country should fulfill in international affairs, and the two of them are going to fight, and we can't stand by and watch, and it is necessary to provide them with some weapons.
