"You've mastered the art of oil refining?" Ribbentrop blinked, keenly grasping the most crucial part of Rothschild's words.

"It can be said that it is partially mastered, you know, that the Ming built an oil refinery in Sochi.

And in Sochi, there are also Hebrews. Rothschild Jenny said with a smile.

"Oh...... I see. Ribbentrop nodded.

Ever since the Hebrews were expelled from Palestine, they have been scattered throughout the world.

The exile was a hardship for the Hebrew people, but it also brought them some convenience.

Every Hebrew has a homeland in his heart, and that is the Hebrew nation. Although Israel was short-lived, the Hebrews have never forgotten to return to their homeland for thousands of years.

They are willing to do many things to achieve this goal, including risking their lives to become spies for the Skull and Bones Society.

Needless to say, there must have been Hebrews in Sochi who had infiltrated the Ming refinery. And, ......, they also mastered some technology in the refinery.

That's why Rothschild Jenny said that the Hebrews had partially mastered the technology of oil refining.

Da Ming people, this can be regarded as a hundred secrets.

You must know that the world's oil and gas resources are completely monopolized by the Ming Dynasty.

Not only do they have the technology to extract, but they also have the technology to refine oil.

This kind of technology is very closely watched, and Germany has lost hundreds of capable spies for oil refining and oil extraction, as well as the secrets of exploration.

"So, you haven't mastered the full range of technology yet." Although my heart is tickling, I want to know the secrets that the skeleton will master.

But as a veteran of the diplomatic arena, Ribbentrop still quietly reminded Rothschild Jenny.

"Oh, Grege. Don't you know that as long as you have a direction and a little bit of faith, it's only a matter of time before you master everything?

As the Ming people often say, this is a layer of paper. As long as you pierce it, you can quickly see what is behind the paper.

I firmly believe that the professors at New York University can quickly unlock the secrets of Ming's control. It's like we've gradually mastered engine technology and are able to build cars, airplanes. ”

Rothschild Jenny's words were full of confidence.

"So, the skeleton will ...... Belch...... What kind of cooperation does the United States need? Ribbentrop nodded, and it seemed that the United States was in a position to negotiate with Germany.

"Hahaha, Grandmaster. Do you think it's appropriate for the two of us to talk about such an important matter on such an occasion? Rothschild Jenny laughed wildly.

"Oh, to the conference room over there? Or the ...... of a London hotel Inside the Royal Suite? There was some ambiguity in Ribbentrop's words.

Everyone knows that the London Hotel is a cheating mecca for London's upper class.

The secrecy is among the best in London.

"Foreigner, you're thinking too much. I just don't think the two of us can talk about it.

Instead, it needs more important people to discuss! ”

"Someone more important?" Ribbentrop's face sank.

He is already the foreign minister of the empire, which can be regarded as a high authority. Someone more important than him...... Ribbentrop couldn't help but look at the Führer, who was smiling and eating grapes.

"That's right, such a big matter needs to be discussed by my father and the Führer in person. I hope you can make this happen, it's all good for us. ”

"Miss Rothschild, I'd love to be able to make this happen, as you said, it's good for all of us.

It's just that I went to the Führer like this, what do I say?

Führer, you are going to talk to Mr. Rothschild about our future cooperation?

What will the Führer ask me, what is the content of the negotiations? What are the conditions of the other party? How will I distribute the benefits after I cooperate?

What does Germany have to pay? And what do you get?

You say, how can I answer the question of His Excellency the Führer? Ribbentrop spread his hands and asked Rothschild Jenny rhetorically, sentence by sentence.

"Uh......!" Rothschild Jenny had thought of everything, but not Ribbentrop would ask such a rhetorical question.

Looking at Rothschild Jenny, who was speechless for a while, Ribbentrop said with a smile: "Miss Rothschild, I think this matter will be discussed by the two of us in a preliminary manner.

Only after we have set our goals can we invite Mr. Rothschild and the Führer to talks.

What do you say? Ribbentrop laughed like a fox who had eaten a fat chicken.

"Uh...... Okay, let's go to the London Hotel and talk in detail. Rothschild Jenny said, picked up the shawl on the chair, and walked out.

Li Xiao has been learning about the transformation of the capital for the past few days!

In fact, the so-called transformation is to build another capital outside the capital.

The location is between Jingshi and Tianjin Wei!

According to the plan, a large industrial area will be built in this area.

Around the industrial zone, a new small and medium-sized urban agglomeration will be formed in a radial shape.

According to the standards of the Ming Dynasty, medium-sized cities need to have a population of more than one million, and small cities range from 100,000 to one million.

Once this idea succeeded, then it started from Liaodong and went all the way to Shandong. The entire industrial belt surrounding the Bohai Sea will be connected.

In this area, roads and railways will be very dense. Areas that are predominantly agricultural will gradually be transformed into industrial cities.

The peasants who laid down their hoes would gradually move into the cities and become workers.

The reason why the new area is placed in such a wide area is that basic education was carried out relatively early in this area.

The children who first entered the school are now all eighteen or nineteen-year-olds.

Although these people do not have a high average level of education, they can barely understand words and mathematics, but they can still understand addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Such people can be regarded as the basis of industrialization.

It is much better to use these people than those illiterate people who can't read a single word.

After industrialization, the Bohai Rim Industrial Zone will be connected. This will be the most advanced industrial area in the world, from steelmaking to making machine tools to building warships, it can be completely one-stop service.

The industrial zone is from north to south, gradually transitioning from heavy industry to light industry. After arriving at the coast of Shandong, it will gradually become a light industry.

It is the clothes, pants, shoes, and various daily necessities that ordinary people wear on weekdays.

These will be distributed in a vast area from Jinan to Jimo.

This place is also a place where the conditions of the Daming highway and railway are relatively good.

After all, Shandong has been under construction for fifteen years.

Especially ten years ago, after the start of overhaul of roads, cars have been rolled out in Hebei, Gyeonggi, Shandong, Liaodong and other regions.

Even in the small and medium-sized cities around Tianjin, it has reached the point where every village is connected to the highway.

After more than ten years of continuous construction, Jimo Port has become the largest port in the mainland of Daming.

Every day, huge ships sail from Huangdao Port to the South China Sea.

Its scale is only a drop in the size of Xinjiapo, the world's largest port.

Although Port Arthur to the north is also very large, it is a military port.

Commercial ships coming and going to Shandong can only go through Dawa Port and Niuzhuang Port at the mouth of the Liaohe River.

If there is a ship wandering around the military port, the light one will be caught and locked up for a few days. Heavy is buttoned with a spy hat, and this life is considered a waste.

If you find out that it is not a Ming person, then don't say anything, just straighten your neck and wait for a knife.

In the eyes of the Japanese and Koreans, that area is considered the sea area of Hades. Even if there are many fish and shrimp, they dare not go there to fish.

As for pirates, this species has become extinct in the Bohai, Yellow and East China Seas. Even in the vast South China Sea, it is difficult to find pirates.

No way, there are Ming patrol fleets in these places.

Although it was only a few patrol boats and destroyers, the 105 guns and 120 guns were already considered heavy weapons for pirates.

As long as it is touched by the Ming Navy, it is basically ten deaths.

There is no way, the naval ships not only have a large firepower tonnage, but also a speed far faster than the broken ships of the pirates.

Many of the pirate ships are wooden sailing ships. There were also some sailboats, and steam engine ships were considered high-end equipment for them.

"We have been engaged in heavy equipment manufacturing for more than ten years, starting from steelmaking. Now it seems that it has formed a scale in Liaodong, Hebei, Gyeonggi, and Tianjin.

The industrial capacity of these places can beat the whole of Europe.

According to your previous industrial layout, the inland part of Shandong is dominated by agriculture and mining. The coastal areas, on the other hand, are dominated by light industry.

Especially in the industrial area along Jimo, various textile factories and daily necessities factories are next to each other.

And along the Yangtze River, we don't have that much capacity to develop. Now, only the place around Huating has formed an industrial economic belt.

If you follow your instructions, Liaodong, Hebei, Tianjinwei, Gyeonggi and Shandong will be connected.

That would greatly increase our industrial capacity and bring together the industrial capabilities of several places. Li Hao sketched with his hands on the map, as if he was arranging a formation.

"Meals have to be eaten one bite at a time, and things have to be done one by one.

Start with these places, and then focus on supporting some central cities across the country.

For example, in the northwest, we can support Xi'an. Chengdu can be built in the southwest, and Guangzhou in the southeast.

With these places as the core, it radiates and develops to the surrounding areas. In this way, the speed of development will be much faster.

However, at the moment we don't have that much energy. The war industry in the north has not yet reached the time to be converted to civilian use.

In particular, the arsenal in Liaodong could not stop production. Li Xiao's face was a little heavy, and Li Hao's meaning was obvious.

Now that the European war has won a phased victory, should we change the wartime system in the north to a major economic development model?

In particular, automobiles, tractors, and all kinds of machinery are more inclined to the south after leaving the factory.

After all, the development of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty has been extremely unbalanced.

Liaodong is already a factory with tens of millions of workers. In the southern Fujian, Liangguang and other places, the most primitive methods are still used to farm.

As for the plateau like Yunnan-Guizhou, many villages still live a life similar to that of primitive people.

"Big brother, the arsenal can also be closed appropriately. Now there is no war anymore, and so many guns and ammunition are produced for whom.

We're still ......! ”

Li Hao argued on the basis of reason, he believed that the war had been fought for three years, and the development of the Ming Dynasty had also been delayed for three years.

Now, it's time to catch up with the lost time.

"The production of the arsenal cannot be stopped, and as for whether it will lose money, you don't have to worry about it. The arsenal will only make money, not lose money.

I have already said hello to your second brother, and the navy will resell the rifles produced by the Ming Dynasty to Europe.

Of course, it's all big eight-grain rifles.

Although this gun was inferior to the Acre rifle, it was still much better than the rifles used by the Europeans. They'll pay for it!

With a gun, ammunition is needed for the next step.

The next step is the need for mortars. The arms are endless, waiting for your second brother to ask you for a large amount of goods. You know how profitable the arms thing is. ”

"Europe is not at war, why do you need so many arms?" Li Hao was very puzzled.

"Xiao Hao, for a soldier. There are only two kinds of time in the world, wartime and non-wartime, and there is nothing to say about wartime wars.

Non-war time is the time to prepare for war.

You can rest assured that your second brother will get a lot of good things from Europe. Timber, minerals, gold, and so on, and you'll be happy when the time comes. ”

"Really?" Li Hao was a little unconvinced.

"Now those countries in Eastern Europe, who have just experienced war, are extremely insecure people. In their eyes, guns are far more important than food.

If you don't believe it, go and ask them, if you have money, buy guns or buy food?

With the money to buy a gun, you can go and rob other people's food. But you can buy food with money, and you can only wait to be robbed by others.

Don't think that Europeans are stupid, as long as they are shrewd in this kind of thing. ”

“……！” Li Hao was very helpless.

"The fourth child is not an outsider, you can talk about your business." Li Xiao saw that Li Hao stopped talking, and turned his face to the green beads that had been waiting on the side for a long time.

"Ahem......!" Lu Zhu glanced at Li Hao and coughed lightly.

"A week ago, inside our Sochi oil refinery, a Hebrew spy network was uncovered.

Three Hebrew spies were captured, five carrier pigeons were seized, and a quantity of money and weapons were seized. ”

"And ......!" Li Hao laughed, what age is it, and he is still using carrier pigeons.

"Go on!" Li Hao saw that Li Xiao and Lu Zhu were looking at him, so he could only restrain his smile.

After interrogation, he confessed to following the orders of the Skull and Bones Society. Moreover, part of the oil refining technology has already been passed on to the Hebrews.

After all, the two of them are just ordinary workers, not technicians, and their knowledge is limited. ”

"You mean that the United States, through the Skull and Bones Society, has mastered some of the oil refining technology?"

"It's not just oil refining technology, it's probably that they're also sending people to steal drilling technology in the Middle East.

At present, the Ministry of Inspectorate has begun to review all foreign employees in the Middle East.

According to the rules of our Ming Dynasty, non-Chinese people are not allowed to be technicians, and can only do some rough benzene work.

Moreover, a lot of the work was done by prisoners of war.

Now, it has not been discovered yet. ”
