"Mr. Ambassador, I think that since you know that we sold these two technologies to the British and the French, I believe you are no stranger to the price they paid for them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Looking at the latest and most complete, I don't know if Germany is willing to pay the same price. ”

As soon as Huang Sheng's words fell, Ron Weidenfeller frowned tightly, and he naturally knew in his heart the news that the British used northern Canada and the French exchanged Mauritania for these two technologies, as well as the news that Huo Jiajun paid part of the money.

Even these two things are no longer a secret among the top leaders of European countries. Even these two deals have become an international joke.

However, Britain and France could trade these inhospitable, inhuman, and economically limited areas for the technology and capital they needed. Because as a global empire, their colony area spans five continents and four oceans. It doesn't matter if you sell a few pieces, let alone this kind of colony that has no value.

But Germany was different, and by the time the German Empire was founded in 1871, all but Africa had already been carved up by European countries. Although he took the last train of global colonization and won several African colonies, compared to the global influence of Britain and France, as well as Russia's huge domestic market. Germany is still too far behind.

Coupled with the rapid development of German industry, it is now the second industrial power in the world after the United Kingdom. So Germany needs a market more than any other country.

Although Africa is not well developed, the Germans have no intention of giving up. Even though it has a population of less than one million at the moment, and most of the territory is covered with deserts, only the coastal area is a decent West African territory (Namibia). The Germans had no intention of giving up in the slightest.

Therefore, if the Huaxia insist that land must be exchanged for these two technologies, then this time the two of them are doomed to fail to reach an agreement.

And that's what Ron Weidenfeller doesn't want to see.

"Mr. Chancellor, we in the German Empire need these two technologies very much, but you also know that our country was unified too late, and we do not have as many colonies in the world as Britain and France. So. Could you please look at the friendly exchanges between you and us in the past, and change the conditions? Ron Weidenfeller said sincerely.

Compared to the arrogant British and the romantic-natured French, the rigid Germans were more rigorous. It's also easier to see reality.

Although the current Huaxia Republic was newly established, its military strength can not be underestimated, for such a country. What is needed is respect. It's equal communication, not blackmail.

"Mr. Ambassador, I also have great respect for the good diplomatic relations between our two sides for many years, but this matter is very important, please let me think about it!" Huang Sheng said with a frown.

"Yes, no problem!" said Ron Weidenfeller, seeing that things had taken a turn for the better.

Looking at the surprised look on the face of the German opposite, Huang Sheng couldn't help but smile in his heart. According to Huo Shan's confession. These two technologies they never thought of getting the Germans to return with the colonies. Compared to the colonies, the technology in the hands of the Germans was the most exciting.

But. In order to strive for more favorable conditions, the necessary reserve is still needed, and if the promise is too happy. The conditions that can be obtained are bound to not be too good.

The Germans were rigid, but they were not stupid, otherwise Bismarck, a diplomat who played the whole of Europe with applause, would not have appeared in Germany.

As time passed, half an hour passed, and both sides in the middle were observing the changes in their expressions. However, Huang Sheng, who was able to become the head of the government, and Ron Weidenfeller, the German ambassador to Huojiajun, were both very mentally minded and had enough patience. So no one spoke first.

However, Huang Sheng, who was preparing for the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, had a lot of things waiting to be busy in his hands, but he did not intend to continue to drag it out. After feeling the same, he spoke: "Ambassador Ron, airship technology and incendiary bomb production technology are both high-end technologies of the military, if you want, considering the friendship between our two sides, we can't refuse! However, you must pay us enough chips!"

"Mr. Chancellor, please!" Ron Weidenfeller knew the time had come.

"The technology for the production of 305mm naval guns, and we hope that we can send university students to the National Institute of Physics, the National Institute of Chemical Engineering, and the National Institute of Mechanical Engineering!"

In the period from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century, it was known that warships were the most massive weapons on the planet and represented the highest industrial achievement of a country.

The naval gun is the crown of technology on the battleship, especially the large-caliber naval gun with a long barrel, which is the crown of industrial technology in this world.

Just like the 305mm large-caliber long-barreled naval gun, in the eighties only five countries – Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy and the Russian Empire – could build it.

The Huo Jiajun Navy Ship and Artillery Research Institute, with the help of Huo Shan, has recruited a large number of scientists from all over the world, but it has still not conquered this technology.

Of course, this also has something to do with Huo Shan's high requirements, because he didn't want the kind of 305mm caliber guns with short barrels, but the main guns of large-caliber battleships with a diameter of more than 35 and a range of 15,000 meters.

Therefore, after six years of staggering, the large-caliber long-barreled 305mm caliber naval gun that meets Huoshan's requirements is still far away. Seeing that the time for the battle of the former dreadnoughts was coming, Huo Shan's heart was also anxious.

He didn't like the short-barreled 305 caliber guns of the French and Italians.

And the only ones left who could make 305mm caliber long-barreled naval guns that met his requirements were Britain and Germany. In order to maintain naval superiority, the British did not have much hope of transferring this technology to the Huo Jiajun. Only the Germans still have a possibility.

So this opportunity, Huo Shan wanted to exchange airship technology and incendiary bomb technology to give a hard boost to the development of the Huo family's navy.

As for the National Institute of Physics, the National Institute of Chemical Engineering, and the National Institute of Mechanical Engineering, which send university students to the country. Huo Shan has also been planning for a long time.

Since the reunification of Germany and the use of all the 5 billion francs in reparations received from France for the development of domestic industry, in the 70s and 80s of the 19th century, after the completion of the industrial revolution in Germany, capitalist industry has developed by leaps and bounds.

Between 1870 and 1900, Germany's steel production increased from 170,000 tons to 6.67 million tons, coal production increased from 34 million tons to nearly 150 million tons, and railway lines increased from about 19,000 kilometers to 50,000 kilometers. The machine building, shipbuilding, electrical and chemical industries have all developed rapidly.

At the same time, Germany had the lowest illiteracy rate in the second half of the 19th century.

Higher education in Germany focuses on both the teaching of basic theories and the study of applied sciences. In the 20s of the 19th century, the chemistry laboratory founded by the famous chemist Liebigy at Keysen University is known as the cradle of chemists. The University of Gögentine became a meeting place for mathematicians.

In the 70s, many national scientific research institutions were established, such as the National Institute of Physics, the National Institute of Chemical Engineering, and the National Institute of Mechanical Engineering. The German nation ranks first in Europe in terms of craftsmanship, scientific and cultural level and practical application ability, and has many high-level specialists.

The emphasis on education, the combination of scientific research and the development of production, and the application of new scientific and technological achievements are important reasons why Germany surpassed Britain in industrial production at the beginning of the 20th century, second only to the United States, and jumped to second place in the world.

At this time, the German chemical industry was the most powerful country in Europe, giving birth to Nobel laureate Fritz Haber, the "father of chemistry" Liebig and many other world-famous chemists.

As for the mechanical industry, the Krupp artillery town was an era. The manufacture and design of German warships in just a few decades can be on par with, or even surpass, the British, who have developed for hundreds of years. The automobile was invented in Germany and went global. Generators and electric motors also appeared in Germany during this period.

As for physics, later generations were called the great man of the century, and Einstein, who invented the theory of relativity, appeared in this country.

If Britain was the birthplace of science before the Second Industrial Revolution, Germany was the world's mecca of science and technology for the last century and the beginning of the 20th century.

Even after World War II, when the Americans occupied Germany, the first thing they wanted was not any money or anything else, but to take away thousands of senior German scientists first. Subsequently, before Huoshan's rebirth, American science and technology had always been at the forefront of the world.

Thinking of Planck, Marx Bonn, Einstein, Schrödinger, Heisenberg and a series of other German scientific bulls, Huo Shan can't help but rush adrenaline hormones.

Although Huo Jiajun obtained a large number of scientists in this Sino-US war, Huo Shan knew that such a method could not be sustained, and only his own training could truly enable Huo Jiajun's science and technology and talents to develop.

Therefore, he did everything possible to let Huo Jiajun's own students enter the top scientific laboratories in Germany. One is to try to cultivate their growth, and finally use them for the Huo family's army. In addition, Huo Shan also hopes that in the future, China's scientific community can inherit the rigorous, pragmatic, and serious study and scientific research attitude of the Germans.

......

After listening to Huang Sheng's conditions, Ron Weidenfeller frowned.

The last condition was nothing, and even Ron Weidenfeller himself was willing to help. However, the production technology of 305mm naval guns is very sensitive. After all, this is the most cutting-edge technology of this era that represents a country's industrial achievements.

No country wants to transfer it easily. (To be continued.) )u
