"We need to rely on the power of a nation to help our nation. Punish those who once raised the butcher's knife against the Jewish people. At these words, Garin's original contempt and impatience were gone, and only a fanaticism and paranoia remained. is very much like Xu Jie's nationalist at that moment.

"You mean Tsarist Russia? This country, which has been expanding with sabers and artillery since its birth, has reduced cities to nothing, and enslaved peoples under its feet really needs to be punished. Xu Jie said with a solemn expression. Historically, the expansion process of Tsarist Russia is completely a history of blood and tears of other peoples, and the only estimates that can compare with him are the Spanish occupation of Latin America and the Mongol conquest of the West.

"The European countries were either in awe of this huge steam roller, and the latter wanted to use it, so we had to go to the East to find partners." Xu Jie's words made Garin very satisfied, and her face turned red. The tone softened.

"You know my family very well, the British Empire supported Japan to establish a complete set of modern social and financial systems. So we can't meddle, and looking at the whole of East Asia, the only country that can fight this double-headed eagle is the Qing Dynasty, so I need him to be strong and then go against the Satan in his north. After Galine finished speaking, she stared at Xu Jie.

"So you think about guò financial control zhì this country is the closest to the modern Beiyang, and then affect his foreign policy?" Xu Jie couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Isn't that possible?" Garin was very dissatisfied with Xu Jie's reaction.

"You don't know this country, in Europe, people who control finance are equivalent to mastering the country's economic lifeline, and can even make some adjustments and changes in some policies, but the Qing Dynasty will not, he is a real feudal country, and it is also a country dominated by agriculture, the people's self-sufficiency, and various ticket numbers, so that the influence of modern banks has been reduced to a very low level." Xu Jie said as if a teacher was teaching a student.

"But one thing you said is right, Russia and the Qing Dynasty are a pair of old enemies in the Far East, and the insatiable appeal of the Russians to the territory has made several people of insight in this country indignant, if there is a chance to have strength, I think the Qing Dynasty has figured out some means to regain the territory it lost in the Far East." Xu Jie said quite seriously.

"You mean, if possible, the Qing government would definitely go to war against Tsarist Russia?" After hearing Xu Jie's words, Garin's eyes lit up.

Of course, if the Qing Dynasty was strong enough, it would naturally "demand" the lost territory from Tsarist Russia. Isn't that a natural thing to do? Xu Jie said.

Which Your Excellency means that if Beiyang was strong enough and controlled by a group of "people of insight" or "patriots", it was entirely possible for the Qing Dynasty to go to war with Russia? Garin said excitedly.

"Think so. To paraphrase a saying in the Qing Kingdom, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Xu Jie was also very excited at this time, and the financial problem he had been worried about was finally settled. With Gaylin as a big financier, his plans will be much easier.

"Then can we make a preliminary intention to cooperate?" Garin said with a smile.

"I think so." Xu Jie replied.

"So what's the first step we need to take?" Gaylin asked.

"It's very simple, the strength of your family helped me persuade the Italian government to allow me to go to Qingguo to sell warships as the chief designer of the ** shipyard." Xu Jie stretched out a finger and said.

"This should be a smooth thing, it seems that without our help, you can also achieve the Qing Dynasty smoothly." Garin said disapprovingly.

"If there are not enough guarantees, well, for example, financial support, I think, the purchasing power of Beiyang is very problematic." Xu Jie said with a little embarrassment. "You know, except for 2 ironclad ships, the Beiyang Navy purchases dome-armored cruisers of less than 3,000 tons, and the price of **-class dome-armored cruisers may be more difficult for them to accept."

"Which can be seen as one of the ways for me to start Beiyang Industrial?" Garin asked rhetorically.

"If Beiyang realizes that it must buy enough warships to gain an advantage in future maritime conflicts, I don't think they mind letting you take a stake, as for how much you invest, it depends on the amount of money you can provide." Xu Jie revealed his plan and inventory. Looking at Garin expectantly. …,

"How much are you going to ask me to pay?" Garin smiled slightly.

"The first investment was no less than 1.5 million taels of silver. Beiyang's military purchase must reach at least two **-class dome cruisers, and even if this is the lowest price, plus the cost of returning and insurance, it will cost at least 600,000 pounds, or about 3.6 million taels of silver. Xu Jie said while calculating. In fact, according to Xu Jie's plan, even if Beiyang can get rid of Master Dao Weng's excerpt of stopping the purchase of warships. The Qing Dynasty could not take out more than 3 million taels of silver at one time. A loan of 1.5 million taels will never be able to run.

"1.5 million taels? It's not a decimal number, and I wonder, what do I get? "The savvy Galene will not pass up any opportunity to make a profit.

"What do you think of 2 percent of the shares of Kailuan Coal Mine as collateral?" Xu Jie asked.

"2 into? Is that how you send your partner? My plan is at least 4 percent. Garin sneered.

"4 into? Your behavior will cause Lord Li of Beiyang to be on guard. If he thinks you want to take control of the Kailuan Coal Mine and threaten his interests. I think even if you come up with twice as much money, he will expel you without mercy. Xu Jie said disappreciatively. Comrade Lao Li is still very wary of foreigners. Whether it is the former foreign gun team or the later Luang Weili. As long as he feels that the other party is threatening. He wouldn't hesitate to cut it off. Xu Jie said in his heart.

"2 percent is too low. I have to make enough profit. You must know that any action of a businessman must be premised on sufficient profit. We are not a politician. They will not give up their profits for the sake of the so-called political interests. Garin said without backing down.

"Miss Galene, there's more to making money than just a stake, if you will. I can make you more money. Xu Jie said unhurriedly.

"Tell me about it." Garin raised an eyebrow.

"As far as I know, in addition to the Beiyang Naval Division, Li Zhongtang's army also has nearly 40,000 troops. With the addition of some non-descendant troops, there are no less than 50,000 people. I think if you can provide them with some gear, the profit will not be low. Xu Jie smiled and said.

"Even the Beiyang, which has to borrow money to buy warships, still has the money to redress the army? You're kidding? Garin was incredulous.

"As far as I know, the annual rated military expenditure of Beiyang should be about 7 million taels of silver, of which 5 million taels for the army and only 2 million taels for the navy. If it is only calculated at 2 million taels, Beiyang will not be able to afford a dome cruiser even for 10 years. The key problem is that the funds for the purchase of warships in Beiyang were separately allocated by the imperial court, in addition to the 7 million taels. Xu Jiedun paused

said: "The army military expenditure of 5 million taels." Don't you want a piece of the pie? ”

"You've done your homework before that. The understanding of Beiyang is so detailed. A smile crossed her face.

"It's not that difficult. Relatively speaking, I think the real challenge is to convince Mr. Li from Beiyang to buy our products. Xu Jie's use of "we" in his answer is obvious, and Xu Jie has already regarded Garin as a partner who can share the profits.

"Then how sure are you that convincing Master Li from Beiyang?" Gaylin asked.

"I have only met Lord Xue twice, and he has already sent the situation of the **-class dome armor cruiser to the Qing Kingdom, which is thousands of miles away. And hinted that if a new ship is purchased, the ** class will become the first choice. Xu Jie said meaningfully. Although there are some untruths, Xu Jie is sure that if there is Galene's financial support. Even if Beiyang did not buy even a single sampan from Italy before this, Xu Jie was sure to win the new ship order.
