Vladivostok, the Governor's Office of the Frontier Province.

It's summer, it's a good place to enjoy a cool vacation, a few maids went to the beach to watch the dragon, and Randy and Erjin are studying national affairs.

"I'm in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and I saw that the demon soldiers are already equipped with submachine guns, and our ordnance can't be left behind the world."

"I already know this, and I pay more attention to the development of the world's ordnance than you Randy.

I have hired experts and mechanics from various countries to prepare our arsenal. Our two warlords can't be more visionary than Zhang Dashuai, right? ”

"Is there enough money? No, I'll leave you a few more tons of gold? ”

"It's okay for the time being, it's not enough to ask you again."

"I bought Krupp this time, are these tens of thousands of people arranged to go to our own territory in Alaska and the border provinces?"

"No, our industrial base is too poor, and the incomplete supporting things are secondary, and most of the tens of thousands of people in Krupp are actually technicians engaged in coal and iron.

Our minerals still need to be surveyed, and the railway network has not yet been built, so it is not possible in terms of transportation. Alaska simply does not have a railroad and is not suitable for construction.

In my opinion, it is better to invest in the coal mines of Jin Province and the iron mines of Daye first, and I, the former commander, still have this face.

The production there is relatively mature, the transportation is developed, and it is necessary to do it first.

When our mine is found and the railway is completed, we will allocate manpower to come over. ”

"Then the arsenal must be built in Vladivostok or Sitka, right?"

"No, it's too far from the existing coal and iron resources, and the advanced arsenal needs too much electricity.

I propose to build an industrial park next to the Hai Duong power station as our arsenal.

Anyway, we can't give up the power station there, no matter what, we must ensure that we can just use the wasted electricity there.

It only takes 100 kilometers to build a railway connecting Qin Island, and the investment of 1 million gold coins is only. Iron and coal from the interior can be transported smoothly.

It is also possible to repair the seaport, and it is very convenient for sea transportation to Vladivostok and Sitka. ”

"You're professional in this area, and everything is up to you, but you'll have to be busy during this time."

"It's my profession.

I'll tell you, you've found a treasure when you buy Krupp.

Not only can we make the most advanced artillery, the best steel, but also tanks, armored vehicles, submarines and all kinds of light weapons.

This is the Haiyang base, we must find a way to ensure absolute safety. ”

"Well, I've thought about that. I have a plan, once something happens, it should be able to ensure the safety of the Hai Duong base......"

"Report, Minister Zhang Yintang in the Dark Federation asks to see you."

Randy and Erjin looked at each other and wondered, what was he doing here?

Although everyone knows each other, they don't have any friendship, and his business has nothing to do with the brothers.

Zhang Yintang is in his fifties. This diplomat was the minister to the Dark Federation during the Later Xia Imperial Court, and was retained by Minxia like Lord Zeng.

Mr. Zhang wore a matching gown, a dress from the Later Xia Imperial Court, which was completely different from the style of Mr. Zeng, who had been wearing suits and leather shoes in the early years.

When he saw the two of them, he first bowed to Erjin, "See Commander Li." ”

Turning around, he suddenly knelt down for Randy and hugged Randy's legs, "Champion Hou, you must help me and call the shots for me." ”

This hand was completely out of Randy's expectations, and he quickly picked up Master Zhang, "Don't, the Houxia Imperial Court is gone, and I am no longer a champion."

What is there to say, you kneel down for me at such an old age, isn't this a discount for my life. ”

Randy knew the Minister when he went to the Dark Federation to receive the Federal Medal of Honor.

Both parties were officials of the Later Xia court at that time and had a comradeship.

Now he and Randy are called Champion Hou, apparently pulling a relationship.

Randy was wary and didn't know what the old gentleman was going to do, so he didn't dare to agree directly, and his response was very vague.

Erjin, a good old man, doesn't have Randy's peasant cunning. He was appointed as the commander that year, and Lord Zhang had deliberately returned from the Dark Federation to report on his duties.

Lord Zhang, the minister to the Dark Federation, was still appointed by Erjin at the beginning.

Hearing that he still called himself the Great Commander, Er Jin was still very emotional, and smiled innocently, "I am no longer the Great Commander." If you encounter any difficulties, tell us that you can help. ”

"I still think it's good for you to be the commander, but now most of those things don't do anything."

"What's wrong?"

"I, too, am also the minister stationed in the secretary, ink, and ancient times.

The year before last, when 393 overseas Chinese were killed by the rioters, I claimed 30 million pesos from the Houxia court on behalf of the Later Xia court.

As a result, they grinded and procrastinated. I had been talking to them for two years, and the claim was reduced to 12 million pesos, 6 million pesos, but they still refused.

You say that we can't do those powers, and such a backward country also bullies us, relying on being far away, we can't reach them by force, and we have been perfunctory to me.

I came back to the court for support, what did the big man of the court say? More is better than less, and you can ask them for three million pesos.

Three million pesos is not worth a thousand gold coins, isn't that fooling a child?

As a diplomat, if this matter can't be done, how can I face our overseas descendants of Daxia?

Seeing that my term of office is just three months away, if I leave my term like this, I will be depressed for the rest of my life. ”

"Then how can we help you?"

"This Mexican country, the armed forces are weak, the reason why they dare to fight with us is to see that across the Pacific Ocean, we can't do anything to them.

I think it's really difficult for us to send troops. But Lord Lan, you are the pillar of the country, and you will definitely be able to help me vent my anger.

Although I am not a cultivator, I also know that we have six saint levels in Great Xia, and it seems that I have a good relationship with Lord Lan.

Lord Lan, if you call all the saints and go to Mexico City to show off their might, and scare these bunnies to death, they dare not give money? ”

Randy laughed, "Your message is behind, and now we have seven saints.

If the seven saint-level make a move, it will cost a thousand gold coins, which is too shameless, and this will definitely have to increase the price.

Okay, I'll have to support you with this face, but ah, the saints are very busy, wait for me to contact you-"

"Slow down, Randy, I don't think you need to send a saint-level for this."

Two catties are actually blocked? Master Zhang immediately frowned, "Grand Commander-"

"I said I'm not the Grand Commander anymore. Well, the six saints are transferred over there, and Randy has to consume a lot of favors, which is really not a good way.

The saints are very busy, and there are some who are idle.

The Pacific Fleet, which I now command, is so idle in the port of Vladivostok that it is full of oil.

It just so happens that there is a blind person now, who doesn't give us Minxia face, and I, the commander of the navy, don't have a job to do.

If you go back and wait, our cannon ships will definitely support you. If you don't let them bleed hard this time, isn't this fleet raised in vain? ”

Lord Zhang suddenly raised his head, tears still couldn't stop flowing from his eyes, "Our diplomat, finally have the support of a giant cannon ship?"

I didn't expect I, Zhang Yintang, to finally wait for this day. ”

………

On June 27 of the first year of Minxia, the Minxia Pacific Fleet announced a friendly visit to the Dark Federation and would pass by Mexico "by the way".

Two 13,000-ton armored cruisers "Lucia" and "Gromo Bowie", led four destroyers, set off from Vladivostok, sounded the whistle, and embarked on a journey to the dark continent.
