In the living room of the Chinese Legation in France, sitting on a comfortable sofa, German Foreign Minister Ulrich ? Feng? Count Bruckdorf-Lanzu is the same as usual, but if someone watches carefully, you can clearly see the anxiety in the depths of Bruckdorf's eyes...

Bruckdorf had just arrived in Paris not long ago, but to Bruckdorf's surprise, after arriving in Paris, he and the German delegation he led could not even enter the door of the peace conference...

And according to the information he received from the Palace of Versailles, both the English and the French put forward extremely harsh conditions. Of course, the conditions of the British were obviously much more generous than those of the French, but they were still very harsh and absolutely unacceptable to the Germans...

It's just that...

At this time, although the war was over, Germany itself was still surrounded by the Entente, and the Germans had little ability to fight again. However, during the four-year war, Germany had deeply offended Britain and France, so Bruckdorf had no choice but to find Wilson.

However, Wilson also said to Bruckdorf that at this peace conference, the United States alone could not change anything, and he had to find another strong person to help them, and this person, after excluding Britain and France, it was obvious that only China was left―――――― as for Italy, the comical country......... The current German ruler is not the Hitler of the future, but he will not have any affection for his friends. I also have a good impression of Italy.

In fact, although Italy in World War I fought much better than Italy in World War II, it is still a comic country. Today's Germans naturally don't look down on such a country, not to mention that this country also jumped from the Allies to the Entente in the Great War...

――――――――――――――――――

It is precisely because he understands the urgency of the matter that Bruckdorf will find time to visit Yan Shao, hoping that Yan Shao can give some help―――――― although in the European war, China is also one of the main belligerent countries, but in fact, China's intervention process is not as great as that of Britain and France, and because of the problems in Siberia and Central Asia. It also had some dirt with Britain and France, and in addition to the fact that China's relations with Germany were good in the past, China has not closed the German legation in its territory until now. The Germans in China were not treated unfairly, and Bruckdorf naturally had to find Yan Shao at this time...

Thankfully, after he explained his identity and purpose, he was quickly agreed. And after the time is arranged. Soon they came to the meeting room.

It's just that after arriving at the meeting room, Bruckdorf hasn't been able to see Yan Shao's shadow for a long time―――――― in fact, it's only been more than ten minutes, it's just because his heart is too anxious, so he feels that time flies very slowly...

I don't know how long it took, but just when Bruckdorf gradually felt a little impatient, Yan Shao finally walked up from the roof. "I'm sorry, Mr. Minister, I've kept you waiting," he said, looking at Bruckdorf. Yan Shao said with a smile on his face. "I'm sorry I had something to do just now..."

"Where," Bruckdorf got up from his seat. You can see me in your busy schedule. I'm already grateful. "In the past, Bruckdorf would never have been able to say such a thing, but at this moment...

Hearing Bruckdorf's words, Yan Shao could naturally hear that his words were insincere, but Yan Shao didn't care much, just smiled and said. "I am also an old friend of your country, when I was leading the revolution in the country, I also received a lot of assistance from your country, especially after the establishment of the new government, your country gave a lot of help, these are all in my heart, although some time ago, your two countries because of the relationship between the war was a little contradictory, but now the war is over after all..."

Saying this, Yan Shao thought about it. He was really impatient with this kind of hypocritical diplomatic rhetoric, so he said something straight to the point. "Mr. Minister, I already know the intention of your coming, is this matter really a little troublesome, because the main ones that are entangled at the moment are Britain and France, and my country, you should know, our country can only be regarded as a foreign aid, and there must be some right to speak, but after all, it is not as good as Britain and France, which belong to European countries, and we are also at odds with these countries because of the problems of Siberia and Central Asia, and the already small right to speak has been weakened, and now the right to speak in the peace conference is probably slightly stronger than that of Italy, But..."

Looking at Bruckdorf's slightly disappointed expression, Yan Shao made a gritted teeth. "The relationship between your two countries has always been good, and the conditions put forward by the French are indeed too harsh, so if we can, our country is still willing to do what we can..."

After all, Yan Shao's purpose is to enhance Germany's goodwill, so he naturally wants to make more touching expressions.

And looking at Yan Shao's appearance, Bruckdorf was indeed a little moved. After all, at this time, Yan Shao was the only one who was 'really' willing to help Germany, because China did not have much interest in Europe, and as for the United States, it was entirely out of its own interests.

"If this is really the case, I am grateful to you on behalf of our government, you and the people of your country will always be friends of our country..." Getting up from the sofa with some excitement, Bruckdorf stretched out his right hand to Yan Shao, and after shaking hands tightly with Bruckdorf, Yan Shao couldn't help but be a little moved. Please rest assured, as long as it is within its means, our government will not shirk..."

Of course, Yan Shao just planned to do what he could. Yan Shao will not hesitate to promote Germany's goodwill towards China, not only for the sake of the future strategy, but also for a very important reason...

Talent...

At present, China seems to be very strong, but in fact, compared with those great powers that have been developing for hundreds of years, there is still a big gap, and this gap is comprehensive. Especially in terms of science and technology, in just five years, it is like catching up with the gap with the great powers for more than 100 years. This is almost an impossible task, at the moment China's industrial strength is purely piled up with money, as for the technical aspect―――――― what to say, making things, it is always easier than researching things.

In fact, in many departments in China, they only know how to manufacture, but do not know how to research. Lots of research stuff. They all rely mainly on the Yushi Group, and the number of foreign researchers in the Yushi Group accounts for almost half of them...

So what Yan Shao had to do next was to consolidate his rule in Siberia and Central Asia. The other is to comprehensively improve the level of scientific research in China. But if you rely on yourself, it's still a little too slow, so you have to use another way, and that is to introduce it. Introducing talents...

China has done the same in history. This is the famous 'double introduction project' in history.

The collapse of the Soviet Union should be called one of the most sensational events of the twentieth century, after all, it meant a change in the world situation, and many other very important things. At that time, China's 'double introduction project' was to introduce talents and technologies from CIS countries, which was personally grasped by the then premier of the State Council, and Russia's then defense minister Grachev seemed to have adopted a tacit attitude towards this, claiming that it was since mankind entered industrialization. This is the largest project of the 156 project in the 1950s.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large number of outstanding scientific and technological personnel had lost their livelihood, and the West at that time looked at Russian nuclear scientists and missile experts. Unexpectedly, China's large-scale incursions in other areas made the United States regret it until Yan Shao crossed over. At that time, the premier of the State Council, who was in charge of this project, made a very famous remark at that time, which basically meant that this was a group of outstanding talents who could not be trained by ten years of hard work, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our country, and we must not miss it.

In fact, it was not only China that took action at that time, but at that time, the CIS countries were in turmoil, people were panicking, factories and institutions were closed down in large numbers, many experts and professors in the field of military industry were unemployed, and their incomes were sharply reduced. In particular, in some cutting-edge industries, a large number of first-class engineers have fallen into abject poverty, and scientific research institutions in the United States, Germany, Israel, South Korea, Singapore and other countries have sent experts to Russia and Ukraine to recruit talents on favorable terms.

South Korea's talent program is very effective, and Ukrainian experts can get visas and air tickets and provide a month's salary as long as they contact the South Korean embassy in Ukraine. There is no unified standard for salary and remuneration, depending on the qualifications and contributions of the experts, generally 1,500 or 2,000 US dollars/month, and well-known experts 3,000 or 4,000 US dollars/month.

China has also joined this round of talent competition, using a recruitment method similar to South Korea, but thanks to the friendly relationship between China and the Soviet Union during the Soviet period, some experts and scholars studying in the Soviet Union have invited many top experts from Ukraine through various forms such as academic exchanges and personal friendship contacts.

During this rare period, China took the initiative and was very purposeful, going straight to the key technologies in the field of military industry, transferring its technological achievements through personal connections. Naval expert Li Jie described the work at that time, saying that the Chinese took a week's train from Manchuria, through Siberia, through Moscow, and then to Ukraine and other CIS countries to find out and fit, and soon knew what technologies the other side could cooperate. Immediately after that, a large number of Ukrainian experts went to China to intervene in specific projects.

In 2002, an internal report by the Development Research Center of the State Council said: According to incomplete statistics, in the past 10 years, the government and the people have carried out the 'double introduction project' through multiple channels and at multiple levels, bringing in about 10,000 experts and more than 2,000 technical projects from Russia and other CIS countries. Ukraine is a key area of the 'Double Introduction Project', and a large number of experts and scholars are invited to give lectures or engage in scientific research in China every year. Li Qianru, first secretary of the Chinese Embassy in Ukraine, said in a signed article: In 2006 alone, China invited about 150 batches of experts and scholars in the field of science and technology from Ukraine to China, with more than 2,000 people.

It can be said that the reason why China's military industry has been able to develop so rapidly in later generations has a great deal to do with the 'double introduction project'.

After all, in the case of poverty and whiteness, it is not easy to build a car behind closed doors alone, and at present, Yan Shao's purpose is the same as that of China at the beginning, which is also to rely on better diplomatic relations to get some outstanding talents from Germany to come to China to help China develop industry...

――――――――――――――――――――

The situation in Germany is already very complicated at the moment. Especially the economy, if it is really executed on French terms, no. Even if the British were to enforce the situation, I am afraid that the German economy would collapse immediately, and then the situation in Germany would not be too difficult for the people to live on, and if it were not for this, the Germans would not have chosen to support Hitler.

In this case, Germany itself, with its large number of talents, will also immediately lose their jobs and then find themselves in a difficult situation. At this time, if a country with very good relations with Germany comes forward, these German experts are even for the sake of living. I would definitely choose such a country.

And Yan Shao is planning to make China this country...

At present, China's industrial strength is already very strong, and all that is lacking is R&D capabilities. And if there were these Germans. So even if this piece can't be made up, at least it can get a certain amount of rapid development, in addition to military and other talents, although China at the moment does not attach much importance to military talents. But the military talent of the Germans was something that no one dared to ignore. This can be proved by the two world wars alone―――――― of course, needless to say, the Germany that has been emasculated in Yan Shao's era is needless to say, I remember that during a military exercise, Germany did not even fight Italy...

Ahem, all in all, Yan Shao's purpose is still very strong...

And things were indeed as Yan Shao expected, and although Yan Shao did not help Germany turn the situation around, Yan Shao's efforts on the bright side. But it is in the eyes of all Germans, and therefore the senses that have fallen because of the European war. Suddenly it went up.

When the Versailles Treaty was signed and the German economy collapsed, most of the German experts agreed to the invitation of the Nationalist government in the face of the outstretched hands of the Chinese government. As for the German government, it naturally hopes that its own country's experts can keep up with the pace of the world, so the cooperation between the two sides is very pleasant.

――――――――――――――――――――

Yan Shao agreed to help, which was probably the best news Bruckdorf had ever heard, so the two quickly talked and laughed.

It's just that while Yan Shao was talking and laughing with Bruckdorf, in another place, Ho Chi Minh and his partner walked out of Wilson's residence with an angry face...

In order to gain the support of the United States, Ho Chi Minh and his partners had recently expressed their request to the United States government to see Wilson, but the first and second requests were denied, and it was not until the third that they finally got permission.

However...

After repeated requests, Ho Chi Minh was given just over 10 minutes to talk to Wilson about their position and the hope that the United States would support Vietnam's independence.

Moreover, after these more than ten minutes of speech, Wilson and the others had no intention of supporting them at all, which naturally disappointed Ho Chi Minh and others, who originally had great expectations for Wilson's Fourteen Points, and several people who were more excited even scolded Wilson as a liar after leaving...

It's just that...

Even if Wilson was a liar, what could they do? After all, they were only second-class citizens of the colonies, and in Wilson's opinion, it was already a very kind of show that he could take the time to meet them...

"What are we going to do now?" After scolding for a while, one of Ho Chi Minh's partners asked hesitantly. The current situation is already obvious, the Americans are simply not enough to rely on, they must find a new country to support them, and it must be a powerful country ...

Hearing the words of his companion, after bowing his head and muttering for a while, Ho Chi Minh raised his head and said. "Let's go to the Chinese legation and meet the Chinese president, and he will definitely support us..."

Ho Chi Minh's words quickly caused a response, and of course, some people said that they should have gone to see Yan Shao a long time ago, instead of listening to Ho Chi Minh's invitation to see Wilson.

In fact, before meeting Wilson, many of Ho Chi Minh's partners felt that they should come to see Yan Shao, after all, they are both Asians, and China and Vietnam are very close to each other, and they have a very close relationship with each other in the past history, and in the eyes of many people, it is more useful to ask China to come forward than to invite the United States, and it is only because of Ho Chi Minh's opposition that they chose the United States...

Hearing this from his companion, Ho Chi Minh smiled bitterly, but did not say anything more.

From the bottom of his heart, Ho Chi Minh really didn't want to see Yan Shao if he didn't have to, because he was even more wary of China than France, especially after the Chinese government implemented the 'Westward Expansion Strategy' and completely annexed all the territories in the Asian part of Russia...

A place so big in Siberia and Central Asia, Yan Shao swallowed it without hesitation, but what about Vietnam? And yes, it is true that the relationship between China and Vietnam is very close and closer, but because of this, China is more dangerous to Vietnam than France.

France is thousands of miles away from Vietnam, but China is a stone's throw away.

If there is really any problem, it will be difficult for Vietnam to get rid of China's control...

It's just that now, Ho Chi Minh seems to have only one such a choice, China...

"Let's go, let's go to the Chinese embassy"

Having said that, Ho Chi Minh has already taken the lead (to be continued......
